01. Their Blood Be On Us

For over a thousand years
They fought against the conquerors
Masses of human breeds
Threatened them by water and earth

In the fields of sorrow
So many lost...
The time had come
Of gods beware...

The stars of honour led their way
As the moons reached the ground
The spirits gathered and came forth
Invincible knowledge...
You belong to us

In the fields of sorrow
So many lost...
The time had come
Of gods beware...

...Perpetual remembrance
...In the memory of those who died
...For the blood that had been spilled
...Their name marks

The way to the skies

02. I Am The Unknown Sky

The past... so harsh
The memories
So real... so painful

Come and take me
I'm reaching my end
...Falling...
The oblation to cease

As I die
I trust myself in hands of death
The sky I embrace

On golden wings
I am the unknown sky

The realms
Of love and hate
Grief and joy
...Sins...

Sins, I'm made of...
And darkened dreams
My darkened eyes
My darkened dreams
...Sins...

Your arms are open
I gaze inside
The night stands restless
She feels the signs
...Of my sins...

03. Until The Night Cries Rise In Your Heart

Burn the sky for me
And I'll seal the folds of your sighs

I'll inhale the embers of my pyre
When the stars will culminate
I am now provoking the fire
On dark the shadow I create

I sat at the edge of my sight
And looked over the sea of thine
You dwelled into my eve
Your caress sung to my desire

How bitter that autumn night
Angels (still) weep for
My feeble existence
Dreamt of leaves
Falling from my arms
A poet's vision... a broken glass

Breathless now and anxious
Of desires full of hate
Thus I seek the ocean's soul
In my era I had claimed
My demons' shameful fantasies
(Thy) triumphant sun is slave

Engraved in the dusk's eclipse
The scented roses die
Seduction... oh the primal aim
As if in nature's tasks
Some words are spoken when in love
The night cries in your heart

04. ...And The Everdawn Faded Away

As the moon cries over me
And the soul mourns the light of day

I will come to search for thee
On every mountain, in every sea

Oh gods observe the bridge of the rain
As she falls...
She wears the winter's veil

Roseat wind... midnight wraith
Thou wilt weep... Thou wilt wither

I will come to search for thee
On every mountain, in every sea

Oh gods observe the bridge of the rain
As she falls...
She wears the winter's veil

Oh sombre... celestial wars
Oh everdawn... Immortal loss
Oh mother... your very eyes ascend

05. Shall They Come Forth Unto Us

As the oceans swallow
The might of forgotten eras
And the shadows grow
With the early coming of winter

The skies hide their azure mantles

As the encrimsoned glimmer
Leaves the day behind
The crown of the scarlet eve
Embraces the horizon

The skies hide their azure mantles

An aura of a culture lost
The heritage of an unbridled wisdom
Contemplation
Of the harmonious infinity
Imperishable passion

The dust of the centuries
Seeks the rays of a desired utopia
As the moonlight grows
The unknown seems so grim

The skies hide their azure mantles

Throughout the misty landscapes
Beyond the fiery shores
The echoes from them breathing
The woods whisper their song

06. Arcana Caelestia

...In midnight fog
The wolves foretell a story

The ones have passed the silver walls
And gaze beyond the grey horizons
Across the end... the end of light
The spheres are gathering so close

Dawn! Of witchcraft's glory
Night! The ravenous moon awaits
Sovereignty!
A vision of the bitter end
Declare to us the things to come

Descended from the unknown fields
And through the misty clouds
Their eyes are blazing in the dark
They own the secrets of the stars

Icons of obscurity
Bring forth the ancient thrill
The howls spread the despair
Penitence is drawing near

Aghasted nightly creatures
Their heaven need to claim
Grievousness... Unholiness
Are about to be raised

07. The End Shall Be Tragically Fulfilled

Mother thunder heal my heart
As the night falls...
The dark is gone... no more
Mother thunder feel my blood
As the sun rises...
My veins are cold... no more

The endless forests of my heart
In silence... slow... they wither
I lie down as one with sorrow
I wish I was never true

Everything and nothing
The magic lost its touch
My heaven's so tired
I'm leaving...
Whatever appeared in front of me
Will now be past

The portrait of my life
A shadow among others
Weakness I feel
I know it's time...

My will has left me
The tragedy lasted for so long
But now it's over... forever gone

08. The Last Star Of Heven Falls

Instrumental

09. Wither, Oh Divine, Wither

The eyes of mine
...Oh the beauty within
Of the far away forgotten lands
One shall remain untouched

The era unfolds its silence
So bright... so sad
So majestic... all gone

Thy silky scent
Wither, oh divine, wither
Take me with you... take me away

Longing for the million suns
Oh the sorrow-filled chants
The echoes are still breathing

I can see me right upon the sky
Reflecting my cast... in bitterness
I dwell within your touch

Thy silky scent
Wither, oh divine, wither
Take me with you... take me away

Have I not whispered thy name?
Have I not cried for thee?

The puppets were dancing
The dance is over
The mirror I see
Revealed the end
The end of what is thee
Under my pity I grow

Thy silky scent
Wither, oh divine, wither
Take me with you... take me away
