Tracks



01. Oblivion

I flew beyond the sun before it was time
Burning all the gold that held me inside my shell
Waiting for you to pull me back in
I almost had the world in my sight

Lost love
Bright eyes fading
Faster than stars falling
How can I tell you that i've failed
Tell you I failed

Falling from grace cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion

I tried to burrow a hole into the ground
Breaking all the fingers and the nails from my hand
The eyes of a child see no wrong
Ignorant bliss impending doom

Lost love
Bright eyes fading
Faster than stars falling
How can I tell you that i've failed
Tell you I failed

Falling from grace cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion

Falling from grace cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion

02. Divinations

It's gone away, it's gone away
It's gone for good
And the spirit's shouting Camellia
A primitive child of brilliant light
Her magnet of wisdom is pulling
Pulling faster, the fabric of time

No escape, binding spirits
No escape, trapped in time and space

A rapid descent as the wormhole is entered
The sin of calypsis surrounds me
The fire's dancing in the silvery sea of breath
Black rune that directs me
Summon the soul of the specter

No escape, binding spirits
No escape, trapped in time and space

Fire in the eye
Reminiscing majesty

No escape, binding spirits
No escape, trapped in time and space

Fire in the eye
Reminiscing majesty

03. Quintessence

The demon skin is covered in fine mist
Opened his hand in my hand
Holding my eyes to the future
Hovering above myself
Letting loose the guided
Punching these holes in my head
The space time paradigm

Omnipresence
Primal instincts

Let it go

Calling reason
Finding you
These wild hearts run
Even deeper
Burning through
These wild hearts run

Let it go

Letting me free the quintessence
In fine mist
Opened his hand in center
Holding my eyes to the future
Hovering above myself
Letting loose the guided
Punching these holes in my head
Losing my skin to the landslide

Omnipresence
Primal instinct

Let it go

Calling reason
Finding you
These wild hearts run
Even deeper
Burning through
These wild hearts run

Let it go

Shield failure
Speed farewell

04. The Czar

Don't stay run away
He has ordered assassination
Don't stay run away
The henchmen are gathered and waiting
Don't stay run away
Your role as usurper is found out
Don't stay run away
Tsarina has warned of the danger

It's your own fault
This is what we wanted
It's your own fault
This is where we lay

By the light of the moon
You must escape into the deep black of the night
Fight the devil inside
Enemies poison deep within my second sight
Wasting valuable time

Ride the tides of blood
Illumination
Beauties sudden hand
Shattered crown
Stretching arms up high
We're on our way out now
Leave the tsar to die

Spiraling up through the crack in the sky
Leaving material world behind
I see your face in constellations
The martyr is ending his life for mine

05. Ghost Of Karelia

Wrathful ones nine eyes gaze
Holding skulls
Filled and laced
With human blood

Shades of darkened skies
Emptiness
Twilight holding through
Offering

Life in zenith
Bulls blood shot eyes
Flattened portrait of the night sky

Feel crust hum
Facing the North
Vapor space

Between heaven and Earth
Wisdom and the knower
A planet collide
Divisible we fall

Hear dirt waves
Wading forth
Vapor space

How long has it been since we flew through the shadows
I have walked on many other planets

Sinister twin
Choking on fear
Bonded iron
Sink to the core

06. Crack The Skye

Blessed visionary cut me with your sun
The rivers ran in blood
Spark fueled to fire

Deep within this endless void
Searching for a sign
The vessel forged inside me
Watches over like the death
of the moon
Strike the shepherd
Sheep will scatter
Mountains of despair

I can see the pain
Its written all over your face

The screaming arrows tear through my soul
In the dawn your face is haunting
White ghostly dreams

Weight of worlds is on your shoulders
Hear the voice of gold
I can see the pain
Its written all over your face

Desperate heathens flock to sirens
Guard your heartache well
Momma don't let them take her
Don't let them take her down

Please tell Lucifer he can't have this one
Her spirits too strong
I can see the pain
Its written all over your face
I can see the pain
You can make it all go away

07. The Last Baron

I'd guess they would say we can set this world ablaze

Please, please take my hand
Please take my soul to rest
So we can always be around

It is hard to see
Through all the haze at the top of the trees
Hold my head on stable ground
Watch as the Earth falls all around

Please, please take my hand
Please take my soul to rest
So we can always be around

Faltering foot steps
Dead end path
All that I need is this wise man's staff
Encased in crystal he leads the way
I guess they'd say we could set the world ablaze

Please, please take my hand
Please take my soul to rest
So we can always be around

I guess they would say we can set the world ablaze
Hold my head on stable ground
Watch as the Earth falls all around

Take my black soul
Alive in the fires that burn my skin
Guide my eyes all through this maze
I guess they'd say we could set the world ablaze

All that I have seen
Standing on the edge
The foot of precipice
Floating in the sea
Past the king of swords
Quickly to the shore
The last baron
The last baron

Ghost of man surrounds me in my slumber
I have no fear as your wing is my shelter

Cyanide he craves
Coursing through his veins
Providing him with strength
To see this to the end
Afraid of psychic eyes
Faith in mystic power
The last baron
The last baron

Will he save me?
Will he save me?

I was standing staring at the world
And I can't see it

I was standing staring at the world
And I still can't see it
