Tracks



01. Brotherhood Of The Fallen Knights

When alliance has the value
Of a broken royal seal,
Heroic is the denial to bent
To a flamboyant mighty siege.

Falcons are their arrows
Like a forest seem their sheilds.
Catapults are spitting wrath
Causing a waterfall of collapsing
Castle walls.

In anvils was methodicaly forged
A diplomacy of the sword
A plot has provided the rope
To hang the bloody flag of war.

"Vow that no truce will stop the conflict"
Fierce if a purpose born from greed.
Brotherhood of the fallen knights
With the emblem of the morning star

Justified all actions must be
For honnor to rest untained.
Tomorrow has to car the lessons
That will nourish the naire.

"Vow that no truce will stop the conflict"
Fierce if a purpose born from greed.
Brotherhood of the fallen knights
With the emblem of the morning star

02. The Eldest Cosmonaut

Shine
In the mines of the darkest star.
The one no jewel can never shine.
A rode is left to point to Styx,
Both its end can lead,both can deceive.

No traps can seize,
The Eldest Cosmonaut
As time stands still,incapable to breathe.

Once in clay I allowed the decades
To become a stone wall around me
But at least I became the wall of decades.

Can you feel the wrinkles on my hand?
They are yours.They are lines I once
Drew upon the sand...

So bring your light to me
I have a boat unseen a labyrinthine sphere
The gnosis of the eldest cosmonaut
And maybe you will see
That I am what your mind can never seal

Travelling the luminiferous waters of space,
Through the Stellar Isthmus.
It can lead it can decieve.

No traps can seize me,No toombs can seal me.

So bring your light to me
I have a boat unseen a labyrinthine sphere
The gnosis of the eldest cosmonaut
And maybe you will see
That I am what your mind can never seal

03. Marble Smiling Face

Black leather gloves
On soft thin hands.
Red Celtic knives,
Sharp as your touch.

Hunting eagle proudly land
On this island that's my heart

Twin Mirrors blue.
Cold lakes consealing Fire.
Red coral hair.
A dazzling ruby dome

Hunting eagle proudly land
On this island that's my heart
Elegance combined with grace
Dressed your marble smiling face

04. Underworld (Act 1)

Tranquility...How necessary,how boring it can be.
The liquid void has no ears
To receive the consolation of the surface.

[An ignorant:]
"Maybe it's better that way
What doesn't touch doesn't hurt."

The innocence of a swan
Gliding on a desolate lake
Can't be sensed
And therefore can't bring jealousy.

Entire worlds full of wonder are banished
To rest only in few visionary minds,
Haunting them with their glowing beauty.

Fortunately,there are always
Those with the forked tongue
To bring the borders closer.

But there are also tribes of inferior beings,
Beings so proudly inferior
Necessary to give worth to the higher.
But not without cost...

They liberate ordeals.
Their negative thought is the fungus,
The grim vestment of the relic.

[The leader:]
The eroding francincence of marasmous
Can become untollerable

Their region is warm like a blanket
But narrow as a coffin,
An underworld.

Fortunately there are always
Those with the forked tongue
That bring the borders closer...

05. Temple Of The Lost Race

Preserved from the ancient years
When Earth was just a newborn star
The proof of a distant truth
Arrogantly stands mocking the wind
Guarding mysteries that man has not unchained

An emblem of power has remained, a fallen temple....

Faded pictures all over the walls
Projecting a horrid state of sanity
Figures that don't belong to a human race
Symbols and maps
Architectural miracles carrying the history of a race
That now seems lost


Fears born from the Past
Temple of the lost race
Deep inside the heart of the pole
An old ruler of the stars

Buried in a chest from glass, the answers about our path
Eternal life can't rest asleep it lurks beneath as force of will
Ancient are the rules set on this world

An emblem of power will remain, a fallen temple....

Fears born from the Past
Temple of the lost race
Deep inside the heart of the pole an old ruler of the stars

06. The Crypt

In a dream I saw a man
A face not strange to me
He stared at me while I was asleep and whispered in my ear
He led me through the corridors of my ancestral home
He stopped one step before one wall, and then I fainted

In the eldest wall of my home I found the entrance of a crypt
The view I saw was so obscure,
Alien remnants, pentagrams and candles of the floor


The crypt was made as a passage to the gates of reality
And just when I realised the truth I was in a different shape

I hear thousands of sounds
Like bestial laughs, deafening flutes and daemonic choirs
Possibilities fall under control, unfolding new dimensions

07. Setting Of The Two Suns

In a world of endless light, into the boundless space
Two suns the only gods, two burning holes in the sky


Without a warning the two suns slowly faded
Abandoning their only children unprotected from the cold

Down on their knees, They have total conscience,
As Night drains their spirit, the inner light of logic
Leaving the bodies to walk this blind planet
Stumbling to others that now are animals, crying light.......

Setting of the two suns

Then a light came from the horizon
Devouring the land
It wasn't sun!

It took a minute for a flame to become a fire
The great cities will all become ashes,
Drifting with the wind

08. Erebus

Waiting the drawing of the underworld
None to share your fears
The shadow of CHARON falls
Upon the stone of hopes
The body is paralysing
The air is too thick to enter
A cataclysm is spawned into the regions of the soul
The cry of the first time when you were free from the womb,
Is the same but now you are entering the night

Most try to understand why they are born if they must die
Life seems pointless with an end
They wonder if existence remains after death or erebus is the final state

Charon:
''You knew from the beginning
That the end will come in time
Yet so many things you left undone
So many more unknown
In a life that is but a dream
Into a gods dream."


Most try to understand why they are born if they must die
Life seems pointless with an end

Charon:
"Existence is a choice that is left after death
Erebus is my mental state."

09. Underworld (Act 2)

Our patience has been dried away
Since a long time...
And the thirst, the need to unfold desire
Transforming it into a touchable object

How bitter was the taste of emptiness in our ill formed mouths
But it was natural as our ideas was based on wishes younger
Weed as fruits at first

A scholar:
''Your fathers knew
These worlds by heart
Even those that never ever crossed
The eerie side.''

We came to see the upper world
Where colours dance and the air moves bright
We came to see...

As a cat with her claws extended orchestrates a merciless grasp
Weapons move damn swiftly in an attacking stance ready to cut through
And open doors crimson

A scholar:
''Your fathers knew
These worlds by heart
Even those that never ever crossed
The eerie side.''

Divine mother:
''Let me heal your wounds with mine
Now that you have deceived the night.''

The leader:
"Rest assured that none of us
Will ever lose that way to you
These stains are also traces
And they clean conscience
As it is their duty to do so
The order was strict
Conquer or be conquered."

Our patience has been dried away since a long time...
And the thirst, the need to unfold desire
Transforming it into a touchable object

The leader:
Hold no more your horses
Let them run like lava
Melting stone and granite
In hollow caves

Raging Victory acts as shepherd leading the way

10. The Eldest Cosmonaut

Shine
In the mines of the darkest star.
The one no jewel can never shine.
A rode is left to point to Styx,
Both its end can lead,both can deceive.

No traps can seize,
The Eldest Cosmonaut
As time stands still,incapable to breathe.

Once in clay I allowed the decades
To become a stone wall around me
But at least I became the wall of decades.

Can you feel the wrinkles on my hand?
They are yours.They are lines I once
Drew upon the sand...

So bring your light to me
I have a boat unseen a labyrinthine sphere
The gnosis of the eldest cosmonaut
And maybe you will see
That I am what your mind can never seal

Travelling the luminiferous waters of space,
Through the Stellar Isthmus.
It can lead it can decieve.

No traps can seize me,No toombs can seal me.

So bring your light to me
I have a boat unseen a labyrinthine sphere
The gnosis of the eldest cosmonaut
And maybe you will see
That I am what your mind can never seal
