Inside the whirlwind 07:22
lyrics
buy track
Why does your touch feel so cold? What is going to unfold? Before our eyes, the floodgates of our destiny are open Light blinding my puzzled eyes Pain accompanied by cries Your soothing smile, the first priceless moment of my life Road to heaven made of darkness, silent poem desperate cry Find myself inside the vagueness, search of truth into a lie Snowflake on a summer morning, guilty with an alibi Set me on fire I’m an ocean, we are dead leaves whirling in the verse of time (Lost in the whirlwind, afraid of the dark Close your eyes, open your heart And find with me the North star) I scream at the top of my voice Far away from the crossroads of choice Knowledge will, show us the way through this labyrinth Road to heaven made of darkness, silent poem desperate cry Find myself inside the vagueness, search of truth into a lie Snowflake on a summer morning, guilty with an alibi Set me on fire I’m an ocean, we are dead leaves whirling in the verse of time (Lost in the whirlwind, afraid of the dark Close your eyes, open your heart And find with me the North star) (I am here, I ‘m alive, I’ m the fall, and the flight Change the world, paint the day, be the water, I’m the clay Dreaming of you in the, eye of the storm Chasing the light, in a world painted black)

North star 05:24
lyrics

Intact by the south winds, sheltered from the downpour In the warm embrace, of mother earth Relishing the fresh breeze, envy of the kestrels They will learn to fly, only when they fall Gazing at the North star, next to the fire Bated is your breath, as the dawn arrives Beauty is in the plainness, grace is all around you Soon you won’t remember, soon you will be gone Sleep tight, I ‘m here for you The angels will guide and protect you Till when, the rain in your eyes Will be turned into a firestorm Red moon's on the wane, silent are the trees Misty night around us, beautifies your dreams Nothing's gonna harm you, you are my seed Waiting for the sunrays, waiting for the spring Sleep tight, I ‘m here for you The angels will guide and protect you Till when, the rain in your eyes Will be turned into a firestorm

Safehouse 05:39
lyrics

I just wanna close my eyes, leave it all behind Lick my wounds inside the darkness, find a place to hide You keep haunting all my restless nights Every smile is always turned to cries Everything ‘s falling down, warmth turns to cold I am not just a pawn, i deserve something better Every time you destroy, i build again In the end nothing ‘s left, nothing more than our silence You keep plundering my soul, feeding all my fears An aching void is always here, absorbing my tears There’s a fragile place in your soul The sun still shines there, you are not alone Everything ‘s falling down, warmth turns to cold I am not just a pawn, i deserve something better Every time you destroy, i build again In the end nothing ‘s left, nothing more than our silence Leave me be, set me free, mother, I only want to fly Feel my feet, find my path, father, you don’t have to be in control so Let me walk, in the rain, mother, it’s all right if I soak Let me fall, let me hurt, father, we are always slaves of the big clock

Broken mirror 03:47
lyrics

Life is starting, with a cry Love is ending, always with a bleeding heart Learning to creep, and to smile Βut inside me, I’ m a white screen showing nothing at all Is my existence a mistake? Why I destroy what you create? I am a passenger in time Without me I’m sure you ‘ll be fine, again Gates of heaven, are now closed Silence breaks me, i can’t face my real self Shallow feelings, empty eyes You can’t tame me, i ‘m not ready for the show I ‘m free to choose who to obey A slave of shadows every day I ‘m always running out of time What should I do, to feel, alive? Life is ending, with a smile Love's a blessing, only for the purest heart

Escaping from no hope's land 04:51
lyrics

All my feelings are buried alive I dived in darkness that keeps me from dreaming Fake smile, vacant hopes, trembling soul, in search of devotion Losing passion, losing trust, i can’t warm, your frigid touch You can’t love me, you can’t see, behind the veils of, your blinding vainness Numb and still, in your cell, the door is open but you can’t leave All my feelings are buried alive I dived in darkness that keeps me from dreaming All my nightmares, imprison my mind I need to escape and keep on the fight Searching for, your soul's salvation, always waiting, but no one is coming There’s no time for alibis, it’s time to break this glass of pride All my feelings are buried alive I dived in darkness that keeps me from dreaming All my nightmares, imprison my mind I need to escape and keep on the fight

Sovereign 04:27
lyrics

He gave me to you, a place to live, all of your days Α blossoming heart, shimmering eyes, an innocent face Νothing but us, living in peace, for so many seasons My true beauty captivated you Then your conceit, blinded your mind, finished the tale Υou felt divine, built a new world, beyond the pale Νow you ‘re alone, treat me as a foe, kill me everyday Βut I still hear the angels in your soul If you loved me, you could have everything If you nursed me, you’d be my sovereign Now what will you say to the children What will you say to your God? The water’s my blood, the trees are my limbs, the mountains my eyes Αnd I gave to you, with no exchange, earth fire and ice Υou had my love, you had my care, we could live together Νow you use me to destroy yourself If you loved me, you could have everything If you nursed me, you’d be my sovereign Now what will you say to the children What will you say to your God?

Elysium 06:52
lyrics

Sitting on a throne, made of roses and of thorns I was blessed to wield the scepter, but i forgot Into the depths of you, always knew that it was fraud Into the depths of you, always knew that it was fraud Cause you had it all, ruled the game Ascended to the top, you broke the chain if you ‘re looking for, who is the one to blame Look inside the mirror All the poets dead, descended to the Elysian fields All the heroes silent, long ago they dropped their shields Into the mist you ‘ll fade, life will go on without you Into the mist you ‘ll fade, life will go on without you Cause you had it all, ruled the game Ascended to the top, you broke the chain If you ‘re looking for, who is the one to blame Look inside the mirror

Darkness 04:54
lyrics

Always crawling, in the dark Thinking that you were alone, in the walls you built around you Now you're searching, for a hand I was always next to you, but you couldn’t see me I would always fool myself, sinking in a sea of lies I would always chase the tide, trying to hide from your eyes I would always give myself to fake lights useless goods Do you still remember me, exhume the forgotten truth Can you touch me now, can you understand Can you hear my screams, the fear in my voice Everything we knew, is coming to an end Do you still believe in me, do we have a choice? Silence’s broken, the tears have dried Beneath the winter’s snow, i still hear you laughing The road is boundless, full of pain Now it’s time to wake up, leave behind the shame I would always fool myself, sinking in a sea of lies I would always chase the tide, trying to hide from your eyes I would always give myself to fake lights useless goods Do you still remember me, exhume the forgotten truth Can you touch me now, can you understand Can you hear my screams, the fear in my voice Everything we knew, is coming to an end Do you still believe in me, do we have a choice?

Near death experience 05:38
lyrics

Distant sun, inside the mist of time Above the frozen water, loneliness Watching eyes, of a silent guardian Hourglass emptying, pull the plug Washed ashore to this far off coast Weakened dazed, scared and cold End of time, the mission’s not accomplished Will you give me, one last dance? Take me, from this beautiful nightmare Lose myself in a lie Phantom in a ghost land of memories Leave me, I have still one more wish I have still one more dream, I have still one more night to live Afraid to live, afraid to die You fly alone on a crimson sky A thousand devils, embrace your soul Only an angel lights your path Mirror smashed into blood red pieces King is dead without his reign Moon is waning, the shadows faint The choice is yours, you are mine Take me, from this beautiful nightmare Lose myself in a lie Phantom in a ghost land of memories Leave me, I have still one more wish I have still one more dream, I have still one more night to live

King of vanity 06:34
lyrics

What you ‘ve created is not enough, you are the tree I’m the fire I want it all and I can’t resist, a slave to my desire You made the rules and I broke them all, I’m a nuclear blast I will paint black the face of the sun, even if I turn to dust It’s time to see, who you are, time to throw off this mask Greedy, wild, stupid, vain, afraid, alone and damned I fly alone, for the burning sun It makes me blind, but I can’t return now Fearless flight, I ride the winds I swim in solar waves, you can control me no more Your hand gave me life, your breath gave me soul, but I don’t need you anymore Don’t ask me why, you made me your image, but now I’ m closing the door Whoever you are, whatever you mean, you are the maid I’m the lord I’m not your child, and you ‘re not my father, I’m cutting the umbilical cord It’s time to see, who you are, time to throw off this mask Greedy, wild, stupid, vain, afraid, alone and damned I fly alone, for the burning sun It makes me blind, but I can’t return now Fearless flight, I ride the winds I swim in solar waves, you can control me no more I gave you breath, i gave you soul, i showed you the way And gave you choice and a home to live I entrusted the world to your care, gave you the chance to take a glimpse of heaven Sing with the angels and live under the wings of my love Instead, you raped my world, indulged in lust and the delusive lights of power Allied with the legions of darkness Wars, starvation, destruction, death What have you done, what have i done? I can fly, i can touch the crimson sky Can you see me now? I fly alone, for the burning sun It makes me blind, but I can’t return now Fearless flight, I ride the winds I swim in solar waves, you can control me no more

The silent one 04:36
lyrics

My son you chose your path, the silent one You never dared to see, yourself as a friend Hold in your embrace, the last ray of light As we steady tread, to the altar of end The story will go on without us This world will keep spinning in circles The sun will keep warming the sparkling streams But we won’t be there anymore Across the seven seas, the mountains of sigh There I ’ll be drifted by the waves of time Forlorn to the shore of Lethe, slave of my hate i was a rusty link in the chain of fate The story will go on without us This world will keep spinning in circles The sun will keep warming the sparkling streams But we won’t be there anymore
