Dead Space (Ascension) 04:11
lyrics
buy track
I’m all alone here Lost in space for time to come No comrades left to guide me Through this sea of time and none I’m floating senseless Through the sunless eons line The ghosts I’ve left behind Are haunting me for mankind’s crime The stars still send their waves Blistering on my worn skin There’s nothing left to life for No place to go for my own kin We’ve gone too far The monolith ends all life on earth We’re bound for war Our inner sense – our inner self In dead space The human race The last known survivor is gone In the void One humanoid The last to see the sun In dead space What I remember The teeth that cut through flesh and bones My records lost To warn mankind of the hollow storm We can’t describe What we can’t see and harbors hat There is no light Possessed by demons dark and gone We brought this plague upon us From the blackened stars above No god can ever save us Consumed by undead flesh The halo of the black stone There’s no saving spell within

Air France (Orchestral) 05:21
lyrics

The gangway’s undocked The runways ahead The signals guide our way back home My senses are mocked On thought in my head How flies a bird with downs of chrome? Engines ignite, set fire to my fears Gaining height, puts pressure on my ears Beneath my feet the lights are flickering Futile fires in the night See the stars above signalling Hear the sirens below sing They await us, to embrace us In their icy hollow grave We deceive us, god has left us In the air we are not safe Why men have to fly and conquer the sky- the storms have now gathered here Won’t you realize that you are despised - it’s a plan of a higher sphere Decompressed, air out of my lung Live again all that I have done From my birth to these fading hours Rushing to the sea that will devour Shattered parts and the human load Raining down like I have foretold From the sky where the gods will laugh They rain their tears right onto our path Out the sky, in fire alight – our wings have been torn apart We won’t realize that even disguise can’t shape our human shell Progress – what will it give us? A chance to enter the court of gods? Everything’s failed - our wings of wax The sun of nature – all trace erased They await me, to embrace me In their icy hollow grave I deceived me, god has left me In the water I’m not safe

Overcome The Day (Orchestral) 04:40
lyrics
buy track
The silence here is deafening Within shelves of stone The crumbling echoes on The thirst inside is wearying Just the quick match lights The darkness that fell by I can hear outside this grave The calling of my name in waves Distant, dull like light through mist The fragments of the life I’ll miss I can feel outside this cave The warming rays of sun On my skin that’s dry by torture worn The despair that just has been born Overcome the day Let now come what may Here in darkened dreams The calm that keeps me here Let life have its way Without a part I play Wake the sleeping ghost That will guide my final ride I don’t know how time has passed Caught in circles here Of reverend melodies Let them surrender futile hopes I feel secure I this stony womb

Aphelion 04:11
lyrics

From the ashes of all battles With their fires still alight We’re still fighting for small pieces Of a distant dying light From the grounds of our creation To the fading age of men On this road to devastation In this fight for a small gain Destiniy is above – in the stars , in the sky Battling here – we’ll never reach them – we will never fligh so high Setting sails towards space – to the point of no return Judgement day – will we ever learn? Drop the bombs of mass confusion In a war without an end Like the sprectre of deception Dripping venom from his hands Setting sail towards division When it’s union we need And like vultures we are circling And we’re feeding off the weak In our darkest hour we gather Light the torches in our hands Let their light and warmth be guidance That all pieces will be mend We’re one voice, one creed, one nation Across the borders we one set Let our own light be salvation Never settle- never rest

Cenotaph (Erebus) 04:17
lyrics
buy track
A monument built on ashes Black carbon traces in the snow All lenses fixed to cast the white light A final image taken by your dying eyes While we rest in frozen waters The fires of the broken splinters burn We were never meant to step on ancient ground Flying too close to hear the foghorn’s sound A cenotaph beneath the dead white Don’t come too close just one more time Our souls are trapped in this cold hell No one will leave just time will tell We won’t rest in our burnt bodies Condemned to wander this white desert A cenotaph beneath the dead white Please come close just one more time Your soul’s is trapped in our cold hell No one will leave just time will tell The fractured splinters will drag you down to us While your breath will freeze, your soul we break apart

Signals 05:01
lyrics

Signals Why am I here – in darkness? Why am I here – and facing my solitude? Where is my god – my saviour? Where is my god – the final force I fear? The futile stars still light the night Let my signals wane inside Lost my will to turn things right Shut my signals down tonight Why can’t you sense my suffering? Why can’t you sense what keeps me restless all these years? Why do I fear my decay? Why do I fear that there is nothing left of me? The futile stars still light the night Let my signals wane inside Lost my will to turn things right Shut my signals down tonight As I watch the clock day by day Every second that passed is a second I failed To higher ground – just to fall down in vain As the signals fade I won’t be remembered again My futile heart still beats the life Qill my signals fade tonight? Just a step and fall to earth Let my signals just once be heard

Sirens In The Fog (1918) (free) 04:46
lyrics

Darkness will rise As daylight dies Above the fields of horror Inside we’ve died A hundred times And we are still here breathing In trenches built Of fear and guilt The days have lost their names Under the clouds Of chlorine gas Extinction just draws nearer Their hollow praise The storm front’s chase We are the walking ghosts Never come home With faith alone We have been left to die The air is cold Our breath we hold Inside we drown alone Become our fear When daylight’s clear We see all that we’ve done

Missing Frequency (Acoustic) 03:42
lyrics

Gray, riddled structures are left to Decay, The headstones for man made Sorcery, Man ripped out, the spine of Society. One landscape, nations crushed, Entity Have a look on all that’s left All our monuments are cleft All the sites once defined our pride Stand in mourning calm aside As I walk this barren land A metropolis minced to sand In the craze of warfire’s rage A parade to end our age Wasted words in books divine Our own punishment in time Sound the trumpets on our own Our attempt to ascend god’s throne “Calling to all stations, help me! Is there anyone who can hear me? Am I the only one who survived this hell alone? This is a call to all out there Everyone who endured this nightmare To gather at a place I tell you, to start this all anew Waiting here to receive your location Spread this message across the nation You are not alone in this wasteland’s desolation Calling to all stations, hear me! Is there really no one except me? Am I the only one who’s feeling earth beneath my feet?” Have a look on all that’s left All our monuments are cleft All the sites once defined our pride Stand in mourning calm aside As I walk this barren land A metropolis minced to sand In the craze of warfire’s rage A parade to end our age Wasted words in books divine Our own punishment in time Sound the trumpets on our own Our attempt to ascend god’s throne

Standing In The Rain (Acoustic) 03:25
lyrics

Breaking the chains that bind Leaving this life of your command Supervised ev’ry step Taking the air out of a breath Time will not stop for you Counting the clicks, the things you do Rays to the senses blind Close all the doors, leave them behind In this moment left to share Lights flicker crosswards In this time when just lullabies resound Sunken cheeks – abandoned time Towards procession Standing in the rain, feel the water fall Clean the scars of this wretched thrall Leave those years behind, rage’s sadness path Abide the crown’s unfurling Just be yourself To break this heir of shells War wounds that never heal Possible fate they will conceal Beneath the organ’s sound Crosses- accursed watch tears appear Encroached filth will mourn Shaping their cuts with useless scorn In this moment left to share Devotions ascend skywards In this time when just lullabies resound Raised hopes – reprobate thoughts Leaving procession Standing in the rain, feel the water fall Clean the scars of this wretched thrall Leave those years behind, rage’s sadness path Abide the crown’s unfurling To new, distant shores cut out from the tales We will find final salvation With the years that passed, all the rakes shall fade All the wounds will mould devotion

A-Cardian Angel (Acoustic) 03:21
lyrics

Behind velvet curtains, hidden were you dancing Your perfect shape took a hold of me Like a little princess, spinning round and round In the musicbox of my childhood days Tiny little beauty, cast your spell around me Enchanted by your porcelain skin Like a little dolly, plunging to the bottom You’ve looked so broken but not for me Break your shell and grow wings like an angel Spread them wide and enclose my sins When the curtains start to fall All I see is you at all When the spotlight hits the stage My dreaming heart rests in your cage As the music starts to play You will dance my pain away As you look me in the eye I’ve seen it all, I can now die Like a childish plaything, you have been forsaken Abandoned, left and stranded here The circus gave you shelter, from the looks of people Who cannot comprehend and disagree Follow me my darling, into the hall of mirrors Where all of us look bent and wrong When the sideshow closes, I will give you roses Your blains are like their thorns to me Break your shell and grow wings like an angel Spread them wide and enclose my sins Your art is divine, let my churchbells chime I will never let you go Put your unique face beside my love’s grace I will never let you go

How The Great Have Fallen (Acoustic) 04:13
lyrics

As the clouds wither Their fog stays still in sight Oh, how the times now differ To what has come to light The time, the speed, the highest faith Belief in what you are by yourself Let the wind erase my trace Let the storm erode my Face as one who had never been HOW THE GREAT HAVE FALLEN In all your fear believe in That the air will hold you With all the risk you live in Hold them all behind you The time, the speed, the highest faith Belief in what you are by yourself Something makes you see That there is more to be Life’s the road we race With every breath we match the pace A cursing dream had always been The ones you left with face unseen Arising disbelief Shall never cross the road I walk With fire I flee from grief With every drop that falls The fear, the blood, the impact comes Resume to hold back any harm Curse the sky for raining Curse yourself-the pain You feel of thoughts you had ran away HOW THE GREAT HAVE FALLEN What has come to matter Will surely decay to dust The time remains to shatter All your flesh and trust The fear, the blood, the impact comes Resume to hold back any harm
