The Great Escape 05:50
lyrics
buy track
Forsaken ground, Deprived from sleep Another desolate morn awakening me Not a bit of the course I know But without fail From the shores of home I go Stop counting the days, Drop your ticking conscience Bound to time and space Silence falls, my mind stands still, No one did nor ever will Remember my name [Solo: Bruni] This is the great escape This is a dreamer's dream This is a picture of misery Defying the storms of vanity A distant voice from afar I hear The wish to turn like siren's song Is tempting me. Swallowed by rain As time stands still No one did, not even you will Remember my name Remember my name [Solo: Maas] I'm heading to the unknown No destination far enough. No leaving, no arriving, All aim is overboard I stray into your silence Raised is my flag of white I beg for termless asylum Solaced by your face I see In lucid visions yearning for me I close my eyes Taste theses memories set alive I am the drop-out dreamer If I roam or if I stay, no one misses, nor did Nor ever will remember my name This is the great escape This is a dreamer's dream This is a picture of misery Defying the storms of vanity A journey doomed to failure Exodus of broken dreams The call of the lost ones Sound of the void Beckoning me

Intoxicated 07:27
lyrics

I have called the storms A summoning To turn the air in motion Like those remorsed Calling home their fear Spirits chanting in the air Divine anticipation Waiting for a night sublime Regaining mortality And as I saw the sky tearing apart To liberate the pests we cast aside Like a thousand sins raining from above Leading all the seeds loss to light A silent force Dawn of the disgraced A scent of scorn inside this deprivation The host remorsed weathering so fierce What a heavy heir to bring A fate so devastating Remnants of anxiety Delusion becomes reality Born, scared away Blamed, ashamed The sins of my hands Grown, 'live and well A portant sent to rend Heralding moribund [Solo: Bruni] Though freeze in this Magically attracted disaster Storms will enforce retribution The raining of sorrows

The Atonement Ship 05:47
lyrics
buy track
Rain upon the shoreline Ensnaring waves around Blackened shadows mirror warning I can hear the waters pound A ship is coming closer Charged with nothing but despair Under flag of sorrow sailing Hear the mission it declares We trade your lies and greed We wash your bloodstained hands The shame of your desires Introduced to foreign lands The atonement ship is coming Cast your load of sins on board Pray it may run aground On distant shores it may be found Spread fear and tragedy A wrecker's agony We're on our saviour's mission We carry all your weight We don't ask for commission Remorse is our forfeit We bring rage and obsession We will return one day The debt of your confession Your children then will pay The atonement ship is coming Dim the light and hide your face Here it may run aground Upon this shore it will be found Return us fear and tragedy A generation's agony The atonement ship is coming Guideless drifting on this ocean Drowning, floating in this sea Scourging the waters With pain and agony

Lost 05:10
lyrics
buy track
Hold on my friend You may understand The pain that kept My restless mind from sleep We cannot share my friend The heritage we spent Back in the days that Removed your grace from me Where is your light to guide us home Do you remember We're on our own I see your face In this fragile embrace And I still believe Do you? In every dream I near you It's like through glass I see you Desperately struggling for my soul In your hypocrisy Your prayers so selfishly Driving me farther from the cure I am lost in my ways My mistakes I have torn I have fallen from grace In this rage I denied I am Where is your light to guide us home Do you remember We're on our own I see your face In this fragile embrace And I still believe Do you? Don't weep for me In this moment of peace I will persevere Will you? [Solo: Maas]

The Concrete Lake 10:30
lyrics
buy track
Snow is melting Melting down Ready to grow Ready to blow Sway the sediment Another harvest is at hand Dead is who died And dead who survived This ground is desolate Upon this shore Where hope and dreams Are covered with concrete Another spring Emerging radiance Ready to spread The blossom of death Seeds are spawning without a warning You betrayed our fate We are dead and decayed Upon this shore Where hope and dreams Are covered with concrete Where life is but insanity, One hour so severe Death is around here [Solo: Bruni] I am the night to remember, You pay a life to forget I am the tree of knowledge The salt in the tears you shed

The Uniqueness of Two 05:43
lyrics
buy track
And so it's done What once was two Now one and one My time has come In this case of doubt The doubt has won Intimate for so long Far beyond the right and wrong And as time passes by Waiting for a sign Alluring me, alluring you And still I cry for you And still I lie to you And I cannot rewind Hiding here behind these lies And I can't revive The uniqueness of two Don't trust the words I say The certainty that I display Stuck in this debate Tormenting inside my head Though it used to seem The equation was complete Time obliterates Whatever is at stake Where is the gain In losing you And I cannot rewind Hiding here Behind these lies And I cannot disguise What you said was... Equating alone I reap what I've sown Estranged from my home Disaffected is my soul [Solo: Bruni] I just cannot survive Behind these lies And I just cannot revive I just cannot disguise

Judgement 07:08
lyrics
buy track
There is beauty in the tears From eyes so cold And courage in a soul Weathering the fraud There is a sparkling In the eyes refusing lies Trust in me Gates open wide To the fortress of our minds Still there is truth to find Under the burden of our lies Ruthlessly disguised These rampant thorns still grow As we rehearse the fall There is appearance we pretend A fragile wall that we defend There is betrayal that we adore A trace of wisdom we ignore There is hope in every word Comforting our souls And blessing in a vow To cast away the doubt There is a power in our breath To raise the dead Come with me Gates open wide To the fortress of the mind Still there is truth to find Under the burden of our lies Ruthlessly disguised These rampant thorns still grow As we rehearse the fall Betrayal in a kiss, deceit in the kind The remnants of malice in an honest advice The dangerous intension in doing the right A veil of delusion in euphoric delight There is rain for the droughty A flame for a spark There's still intervention, the act of god There's purge in the fire In anguish refined From ashes of judgement Tomorrow's truth will rise Times of grace will come as we fall

Purgatory 05:23
lyrics
buy track
I live inside a dream Inside my head Though I never sleep I am the silent scream Inside my head I am the past that will remain Tell me when will I be home From this purgatory Punishment and fear How many sins to suffer still Inside this purgatory Sublimate my will Is there anybody out there Praying for my soul I swelter by the flames Inside my head Stigmatized by scorch I stubbornly confess Inside my head I am dying but never dead Revived to frighten the sinner Resistant to fear the saint Revived to regret the penitent Reduced to fire the elements

Remains of Misery 08:22
lyrics
buy track
I've been here before My shadows still roaming this place I've seen it before, the open door I have been here before The alley where memories stray Through fences and thorns, A gateway to myself I sense the space, the smell of rust and mould The sound in the air so familiar Every step a quest so vague Far away from anywhere Without guide, no soul in sight Following this barren path, the ages pass Far away from this petty dreams And busy schemes But into wastelands of dignity calling me This noble mossy doorstep No footprints have adorned This place so lost untouched for ages The wet and dropping jutty watering my face From dusty lattice windows The scent of years escapes Entering this treasure I have found Gurgling and creeky it will sound Dead for this world Alive for my soul to breathe again The beauty of decay Remains of misery Witnessing from corners around The stories of loss and fate I merge with calm and peace Inside these walls of misery Sheltered by the spirits around My mind will be set free Abode of my soul Neglected, past remedy Surrounded by this tangled mess Of yellowed worn memories I have been here before Abandoned this place in haste Never trusted that luring door Revealing the upper floor Climbing up the stairs to the unknown Confrontating memories will be found Left by this world Delight for my soul A son is coming home
