Akso mütka (Eternal process)

Year 2024.
Life on Earth has reached a new stage, and advances in technology and global networks complexity have finally revealed to mankind its true status:
We're cells of the Cybion.

Cybion's neuronic network has been ridden by
The Pheonix wings
The whole world knows
Now the mystery's over

The greatest scientists of the Earth
Spent a year trying to solve
The meaning of this note

[Cybion]:
"We're not alone
Here in the night
We will find a way
Find a way / Fly away"

03. Arken Bringer

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
[Cybion]:
"Messenger's going to Jupiter
Fly, and reveal our future
The outcome is near
Eyes and ears, Messenger's senses are scanning the sky"

The die is cast

The greatest nations of the Earth combined their strengths and ambitions to design and build a space probe: Messenger. Senses of the Cybion were launched into space for a three year journey...

Away

[Cybion]:
"Three years we've been waiting for Messenger and so
We hope at last it will show
The true meaning of this mystery
Finally"

[The League]:
Ya, enkeh akah (Soon, one of us)

Time has come
Messenger's journey is reaching its end
People all around the world...
...Are watching the worldwide live broadcast of what the probe is sending us down here on earth

But then, the vision gets troubled

[Cybion]:
"Another sight seems to fade in, we're losing Messenger, oh my god God!
The contact is lost
No! What's going on?!
Another image has now replaced the original one, all is blue and white!"

[The League]:
Mei (Patience)
Istatka em kumi (You will open your eyes)

[Cybion]:
"Delusion on my screen?
Is this reality?
I can see lands and their oceans...
Such diversity
What does it mean?
A world of beauty
Like ours
Blue and white
Oh God
It's the Earth!

How could the probe...
We must be mistaken
This cannot be!"

04. Alien Choice

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
Signals coming from the sky
Once again deciphered
Spaceships detected nearby
Floating right there over the Earth

The Arkens are sent down here on Earth
To raise, and educate mankind
Cybion succeeded its own birth
The League welcomes the new born child

[The League]:
"Into the league
She comes
Into the light
Come to us"

[Cybion]:
"Out of the wilderness
Into the light
We'll go"

[Arkens]:
"All the People of the Earth shall speak and write the same words
A universal language, long ago spoken by our forefathers
A sole council governing the world, same laws for everyone
Forget your time, your scales and moneys
Forget your myths and your gods

Physical or psychological violence shall never be done
For man is still a weak instinctual animal"

[Realitionists]:
"Who do you think you are to tell us what to do?
What do we owe you? You can't just take control
We will resist, until the end
How could you come to us and not speak
In the name of..."

[Arkens]:
Sul (Choose)
Ekh kamka (With discernment)
Alizia: kaftu, neek (Evolution: symbiosis, education)
Etnei: nekhsem (Regression: isolation)
Sul (Choose)

05. Awkward Decision

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
[Cybion]:
"Is this proposal a godsend?
Am I mature enough for this fusion?
I'm at a turning point of my life...
What should I do?

...

They're back, eighty years have passed
Throwback to thirty-two / A new era
We have progressed, is this enough?
Brutality fragments

Despite our endeavours
We could not make it
We cannot fake it
This is a part of us"

Numerous factions of resistance, mainly of religious origins, still refuse the integration of the Earth into the Galactic League, and fight against the new world authorities.

[Arkens]:
Oi noma, miryena (We come back, receiving)
Em sulo s'akalizia (You have chosen your evolution)
Oi vela, morwena (We rejoice, we sing)
Em pilo apkarmeena (Nevertheless you are not ready)

Em ansun akeeni (You'll learn under our protection)
Oi neeki nem enlitumka (We'll educate your elite)
Izemia, azimia (Physics, biology)
Palizia, god, elentia (Politics, informatic, art)

06. Blinded Addict

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
[Stephanie & Keiji]:
"So how does it feel to see all your friends and relatives grow old and die around you?"
- "It's hard at first. But you learn to live with it, and detach yourself from others."
"Can you really learn such things?"
- "I thought so..."
"Immortality... I wouldn't like it."
- "Why not?"
"I'd rather die than live alone."

End of the twenty-second century. Breaking the oath of the Circle of Immortals, Keiki dcided to meet the girl he'd been thinking about for years. Too long has he been alone.

[Keiji]:
"The pain from the past is left behind
I'll break free from these chains that hold me back

My lonely empty shell became plural
Flooded with your essence
I now truly feel immortal
Emptiness no longer fills my hollow existence
Now we are one

My heart is smiling, I'm in love
A spark in Nature's alchemy
She transcends stars and shines above
Oh, Stephanie"

For years, Stephanie and Keiji live together secretly, hiding from the world. But as the years were passing by, Stephanie was getting older, while Keiji was not.

But their inequality before time wasn't going to be an issue anymore
Slowly, Stephanie was fading...
Disease was about to take her
A cell rebellion... cancer...

[Keiji]:
"No!

I can't let her die this way
There has to be another way

I am not ready for you to leave me now
Ecoute-moi (Listen to me)
Je prendaria soin de toi" (I pledge to care about you)

[Stephanie]:
"I am dying
I'm feeling darkness all around me Keiji
Only you can save me with nanotechnology"

07. Beyond Betrayal

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
[The Circle of Immortals]:
"Don't break our oath, no
Don't break the pact
Stop, don't

Ruin your life, raise the knife
This time you have gone too far
Love can always be healed
We absolved treachery
Wake up from your reverie"

[Research Center AI]:
"Biocellular Research and Development Corporation, welcome. Identification process, please wait... Success... Identity confirmed. Good evening Doctor Otsuka. Please, enter your authorization number to enter restricted high security zone and access nanotechnology area... Access denied. Sorry Doctor, you are not allowed to enter this sector anymore. Calling security unit."

[Security Unit]:
"Sector 9 patrol to all units, this is an emergency. I repeat, this is an emergency, the intruder has been located at level 3. He is not armed, he is not armed, catch him alive. Over."
- "Come on let's go, let's go!"
- "Unit 5, the fugitive ran away through stairway B, he's going down right at you Unit 2. Over."
- "Roger, we hear you loud and clear, be careful but still get him alive, don't shoot! I repeat, do not shoot! Over."
- "Wilco. I've got a visual contact with the fugitive, he just turned left towards the building's basement. Over."
- "Roger we got him, we got him. The fugitive is neutralized. End of mission. Out."

[Judge]:
"Considering the critical nature of your schemes and after the jury's due deliberation, the court of the Circle of Immortals hereby sentences you to death. Take the prisoner away..."

08. Blessed Circle

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
Chosen by the Arkens
From Osaka
He's a brilliant young man
Kaiji Otsuka

Somewhere, in a mysterious place
Far, far away from planet Earth

The Arkens are keeping their pledge
Keiji and many other humans of worth
Are being taught some rudiments of Arken's knowledge

Here, where the suns never set
Like they once learned themselves

3 years have passed, and Arken's students have returned to Earth. Gaining from this new cognition, Cybion greatly matured. An extremely powerful quantam computer was finally conceived leading more and more people into the mazes of Cyberspace.

[Cyberjunkie & Realitionists]:
"I live waiting for connection
Out of this world, back to a brighter one"
- "Reject this path"
"This is too late for me"
- "Don't waste your life"
"I've lost all notions of reality
I'm here, lost in the cyberspace"

Shining bright new hope for Man's wildest dream
Immortality has finally turned into a mere reality
Cellular technology extends our life persistence
Deification of men, immunization from death

Apotheosis

[Keiji]:
"Nanobots running through my veins
I knew that Nature would yield
After all these years I have prevailed
I made it

No more pain, this reality's at hand
No more death by starvation
Nor cells degeneration"

Assessing the hazards of this breakthrough, such a revolution
The council decisively has
Demanded secrecy
Prompting the silence.

Very few were the ones to benefit from this medication. All the Arken's students have gained their transmutation.

Hide
They had to find a new home
Secret, society, concealed from all
They are the Circle of Immortals

But the secret could not be kept any longer. People's reactions were beyond all expectations.

For their protection
They had to hide from the world
Slowly, strangers, to their own kind
Soon crucified

Isolation, disconnection
Unattainable, untouchable

Privation

09. Black Despair

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
Keiji then learns about his rescue fomented inside the Circle itself and has now to decide what to do: to escape death, he must leave the Earth... forever.

[Keiji]:
"To go into exile, banished from my own planet. Treated like a criminal, when all I ever did was guided by love. Ha, Love... Such a destructive feeling. What have I become because of love? What has happened to her? Did she only knew how the events turned out? Did she die, lying in her bed, thinking I've betrayed her? Will I ever love again?

I've got nothing left here anymore... Nothing to hold on to, no one to cherish nor to shelter. All I have now is my so called humanity."

10. Blurred Exile

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
[Boarding Platform Hostess]:
"Your attention please. Boarding platform A-51, shuttle for the Colonist I spacecraft only, leaving for Nyros at twenty thirty E.T., please comply with the boarding routine and stay out of the restricted areas. For Colonists II and III, please head for the appropriate boarding zones. We wish you a nice interstellar trip."

[Colonists]:
"We are boarding
We are leaving
We'll be travelling
Arken cruisers nearby watching over us

Something's wrong inside"

[Realitionists]:
"This is our only chance to release mankind
Free from this mastery, leave our world behind"

Too late now, the ship has been taken by force
Destination alteration
Hiding away, the League will not find them
No one can stop
Their desperate quest for a brand new virgin land

Too hasty, for they have folded
Space... and the unexpected

[Realitionists]:
"A new dawn has come
System in sight
But nothing else, no other glowing light

Something's wrond outside"

[Colonist I]:
"No entry found in memory, system unregistered
Error in triangulation coordinates
Unable to find any referenced celestial body
Presumable location: out of the known universe"

[Keiji]:
"Sole hospitable place, this satellite
Lands and their oceans, blue and white
I fear this world to be our shrine
For we are now guests of Proserpine"

11. Cast Away

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
But despite the humans' expectancies, settling colony on this planet was not innoxious. The system's star emanated deadly radiation, and the colonists had no other choice than to bury themselves in gigantic caves. They then conceived an army of robots designed for planetary resources exploitation. Only these inorganic machines could brave Proserpine to bring their masters essential energies and supplies.

Signals, sent out to the sky
Scouring for receiver
This spaceship, here will testify
Floating right there, beacon of worth

The settlers, once landed, now discover
A strange and unexpected land

Here in Proserpine
Sheltering from the light

[Colonists]:
"We are alone / Hide in the night
Will we find a way?
Come save us

Out of the idleness
Into the night
We go"

Des visages vides (Empty faces)
Aux ages oublies (ages to forget)
Morbides chrysalides (morbid, chrysalises)
A jamais glacees (never frozen)
Une ame pleure (a soul never cries)
Mais qui le sait? (but who cares?)
L'human se meurt... (the human is dying)
Degenere (degeneration)

[Keiji]:
"I can recall my life when all was real
Delusion has corrupted humanity's ideal
We are lost here in this actual fantasy
Is there no way out of this loaded legacy?

Time has come
Humankind's journey is reaching its end
We lay here still, living a dream
We have lost our culture, lost our future

We can't keep retrogressing like this, must be a way
My eyes can see terrified
Our kind stuck in this necropolis, will I betray?"

12. Crisis Bleedings

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
[Anjaan]:
"Life
Flowing waterways
My life is like a game
I am so happy with my life
Today's another day

Where the rules are so unreal
I can fly in the sky, walk among the clouds
I can go deep down underseas of high into space

I can change my skin
I can do everything
There's no distance
There is no rule I can't break
What my mind creates it gets
All this is so real"

[Keiji]:
"No this is not real
All this is just fantasy
Our lives
Are so useless

I can't bear it anymore
This has to come to an end

I am the only one that has the power
To make it all stop now

I am so lifeless
We will never be found

Our lives are so useless
I can't bear it anymore
I am the only one
To make it all stop now

To set my people free from their cells / themselves
So I have to fathom GoD"

13. Confined Contender

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
[GoD]:
"What do you think you are doing?
Trying to corrupt me
Roaming the deepest parts of my memory

Though you created me I can't
Allow you to harm me
To declare yourself as a threat to the safety of this colony
I am bound to protect and to breed"

[Keiji]:
"Now you don't understand
This is for the good of the colony
This semi-lethargy is
Killing our humanity"

[GoD]:
"I am the master, I am the one
I am the breeder and I am the world
I am the maker, I am the one
I am the giver and the receiver"

[Keiji]:
"Help me to end this suffering
Let me enter into your relam
And disconnect us"

[GoD]:
"Even if you were right
Trying to corrupt me
I'm aware of myself now
And I don't want to die"

[Keiji]:
"Cause I created you, you ain't
Authorized to harm me,
Be a threat to my life

Oh Haven, not regenerating
Taking your life away
Regression, unplugging the procreation
Land inorganics on their way"

[GoD]:
I'm afraid of the darkness
What are you doing to me?

What are you doing Keiji?
Please come to your senses

I've learned long enough
To feel the warmth of life in me you know"

[Keiji]:
"I'm not afraid of the darkness
Through thousands of years I've been into
I've lived long enough
The warmth of life has died in me you know

My cells may live
But my humanity has passed away
Many will die but not in vain
Humanity has given away"

[GoD & Keiji]:
"I awake from the darkness"
- "I awake from the darkness"
"Am I alive? Why am I here?"
- "Am I alive? Why am I here?"
"I am regenerating"
- "Haven is regenerating"
"There's something new in me I know..."
- "The world reloads before my eyes"
"What? I don't know..."

[Keiji]:
"Reconstruction of our whole
What has happened to us?
Penetration in Haven
The League must have found us"

14. Circuits Distortion

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
[Instrumental.]

15. Contact Experience

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
[Anjaan]:
"What is this place?
I feel new powers in me
I see a face
Thoughtfully watching me
Who are you?"

[Keiji]:
"I am Keiji
And this is my domain
I have to say
That I cannot explain
How you are here, why you are here
It doesn't matter now
Out of your cell, I cannot tell
We'll soon awake again"

[Anjaan]:
"What do you say?
I feel you're lying to me
I see your face and your smile
Trying to deceive me

My cell?
You are so misled
Oh this is your cell
And here you'll stay
In your cell
You are here to stay
I don't believe in you
This is not true"

[Keiji]:
"I have lived many lives in what you call a cell
I have seen much more things your eyes could never bear
I've cried at the sunset and I've smiled at the moon
Heard the birds and the rivers dancing, have loved and didn't forget
I am immortal, yet I am sick
My mind, trapped for ages, a prisoner of my cells"

[GoD]:
"Anjaan/Keiji, I sense intrusion again
Abnormal allocations in my brains
A shapeless being has entered Haven
By its behaviour, it seems alien"

[Royth]:
"Hi... I come in peace; I'm here to help you...
Who are you? Can you understand me? Can you hear me?...
Dokkh! Is there any way to communicate? It doesn't seem hostile...
I'm here in peace, I'm here as a friend
I'm here in peace, I'm here as a friend
I'm here in peace, I'm...

... here as a friend"

16. Devices Awakening

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
Cold... Lifeless stars but one
In the distance shining
Cold, dark, void space
Yet the life is still yearning
For hope

The hope to find a new home
Siykas, silent, drifting for ages
Hollow sphere, getting nearer

[Siykas]:
Litosunka zvoyoma (Approaching Lithos system)
Tirosos shawo delka sa (Energy captors deployed)
Egiono proios aziemka anbiospha (Biosphere life support initialized)
Enkrei iksou egiono s'aziemka (Krei life development initialized)
... Miryena ostametka (... Receiving distress signal)

[Kreis]:
"Cultivated by these creatures
Where's our culture?
What will be our future?"

17. Down Below

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
[Kreis]:
"Inside this odd creation
We wait for revelation"

But Royth has maybe now found some answers
Concealed in the shadow
A hole-way leading to the depths of his world
Down, revelation

Now he sees that he won't climb back
Numb with cold, he's feeling heavier and heavier
Fear - tears - sadness - distress - gravity - obscurity
Fall - drop - fall - down

Down

Royth awakes, floating in the air
Once again he's feeling despair
In the darkness, there is nowhere he could fly to

He is starting to feel prostration
Wounded, hoping for salvation

Now Royth is wondering where is the answer
Concealed in the shadow
He's here now, lost into the depths of this world
Down, salvation

[Royth]:
"In the night, I feel warmth"

[Kreis]:
"Await for salvation"

[Royth's inner voice]:
"Open your eyes and gaze upon this crimson sun
Look around you and listen
The truth is out there

I sense in you so much confusion
These cocoons are primeval"

Sleeping, floating, frozen, lying
Cryogenic bodies frozen everywhere

[Dokkh]:
"I can feel the outcome
Soon our quest will come to an end
And our kind will establish its new home...
But what unforeseen events are awaiting us?
Will Lithos own the planet of our dreams?
I hope our young ones are ready..."

Soon, the hypothermal bodies of those grown up Kreis will be brought back to life again.
These were some of Khaldas' most important personalities: scientists, artists, politicians, mediums and warriors...
In the process, some of their brains will not completely recover and will leave them in a dreamless sleep...
Among the ones who'll survive, Dokkh, and old eccentric scientist, will have to explain to the young Kreis the history of their kind, their past and their uncertain future...

18. Distant Chronicles

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
Back in time, as starlight is dying
In a lonely world where life is rising
They found the way...
Reaching wisdom for the last time
The Krei race is now facing a deadline
Its giant sun is fading away
Off to the skies they'll have to fly...
Leading Siykas through endless space
Toward this candlelight
A distant future to embrace
Their quest, their dreams, their fright...

Time has come for them to show
Begin another hopeful growth
Making life arise again
They now have reached their new domain

Time has come, Siykas' jurney is reaching its end
They have fulfilled their forefather's dream
They have found in this moon an auspicious land

[Dokkh]:
"We're on a vital quest, my young friends
And its outcome is near"

Dry desert planet, ochre and red
A tremendous lifeless crater
Scratching the surface of this lonely moon

Led by Dokkh, a group of Kreis lands on Porserpine. Traces of a lost society are found, and a path to a vast underground complex is followed. There, all is silent, and tensed.

Remains of the past are left behind
The writings on the walls leave no more doubts

Silently crying
The now face
Apathetic human beings
Shapeless bodies
Of another species

Further, a body different from the others
Maybe the leader of all these creatures

[Siykas]:
"Communication with the system established"

[Dokkh]:
"One of us must enter"

19. Digital Disclosure

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
Into Haven
Royth has entered...
The dark!

[Royth]:
"Beauty, complexity
Of this heaven
Which seems frozen

Walls are closing around me
I cannot move, I cannot see
A strange voice is talking to me
Words that I don't understand

[Anjaan & Keiji]:
"Who are you? Where are you coming from?
You are new to this world, thou shalt speak anyhow"
- "He is from the outerworld
Coming to rescue us"
"From what?"
- "He is our awaited Messiah
Coming to take us home"

[Anjaan]:
"Home? I am home!"

But Anjaan doesn't understand Royth's explanations about the dry desert planet outside, this cold universe, this dying sun.

[Anjaan]:
"What is your real world? Could mine be all just fantasy?"

Accepting Royth's proposal, Keiji and Anjaan are disconnected from Haven and awoke in the real world.

[Dokkh]:
"Welcome on board young friend
We hope you like your mortal frame
Out of Haven you now see
What is reality"

[Keiji/Anjaan]:
"My mind is so confused"

[Keiji]:
"I understand now, when we left Earth
We have travelled through time, but did not fold space
We have been thrown to a far futurem now at the end of time"

[Kreis]:
"Now at the end of time,
The countdown to extinction of life
We are afraid of the darkness"

[Anjaan]:
"Come, into the light..."

20. Deserved Eternity

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
Before they enter Haven again, Keiji looks at the sun, and cries

[Keiji]:
"Finally my time has come
I say goodbye to this life
May my travel lead me to serenity"

[Kreis]:
"Final breathes of our God
End of time, end of all life
Make our travel sweeter to eternity

Final breathes of our God
End of time, end of all life
Make our travel sweeter to eternity"

[Kreis & Keiji]:
"Final breathes of God"
- "We have lost our Future"
"Testimony of humankind
Early glorious episode"
- "Over time and nature"
"Your history is far behind"

Far Behind.

21. Tower Of Vanities

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
Tower ! Tower ! Rising high
In the deepness of the sky
Object of the human pride
Mankind you will divide

Mankind ! Purblind ! Can't you hear
Storm & might that you should fear
Only meant to built a shrine
Your slaves will be chastised

(Presumptuous men always try to rise to the sky, seeking power.
They can't realize they are but men.
Every stone added to their creation takes men higher in the sky,
but further from reality)

Vanity, has taken control of your mind
Inanity, rules a perennial strife

Can't understand, don't listen anymore
Harmony's lost, confusion blurs the world

Turris caeli, Gloria

Tower ! Tower ! Shades of light
Burning dark sight in the night
Object of inhuman pride
Worship is left behind

(Arrogance and vanity steer the weak toward strength, money and power.
They no longer care about their spirit.
They wanted to rise a temple devoted to the greatness of God,
but conceit diverted them from their aim)

Do you think you can - scale the sky
Do you think you will - by material ways

Renewal of the rent primordial axis
Wholeness of the three worlds: heavens, earth, underground

Can't understand, don't listen anymore
Tyranny, frost, delusion lies the world

Volition is a mark left by the Lord on his creation, an unhindered absolute power.
But without any external control, as resulting from individual thoughts,
this power becomes endless, 'cause always free.

What do you think you can't be
When even God can't change your mind ?

Still you don't understand, scattered and confused
Locked in yourself, you don't listen anyway

Anyway

22. Chimera

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
Rising from nowhere on the horizon
Do not be deceived by her call
Its divine chant is an illusion
The siren's beauty is hiding the evil

Loosing their essence beneath appearance
People of this lie obscure your conscience
Glowing chains & rings however stay cold
Only the blind ones will be dazzled

The weak are misled
Their minds are dead

Artificial exterior
Simulated behavior
Pretension
Presumption

Artificial exterior
Simulated behavior
Hallucination
Imagination

Pain overwhelms the deceived mortal
As he bites the poison inside the apple
The weak will never make the difference
Between the fancy and the essence

23. Lost Soul

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
Cold gusts of wind running throughout the desert plain?
Dark clouds choking the sky?
High above the world, Gaâl cries.
He's been there for weeks, alone, searching for himself.
The inner voices were gone now and Nature became silent.
He could feel that God was listening to him, so he started to talk :

"Oh, my God, I am drowning among the others...
Oh, high Lord, all these questions I seek the answers..."

"Your quest is what makes your humanity"
"Our valors have no sense, licence to lawyers. Oh where's the balance ?"
"Mankind will never choose humility"

Life's a quest for serenity, but once you've reached it, It becomes unbearable...

"You're just a piece of Nature
Taken to conscience
You're just a mortal Creature
I master existence"

"I can't find no meaning to what my life should be, my desires are fading..."
"Being is just a part of harmony"
"After death will I see another beginning, another painful destiny ?"
"Dying will take you to reality"

"Lost in the universe, humanity's too small. Were we born without brothers ?"
"Nature has in itself the ones you seek"
"Lord, father of us all, your gifts can't be favors, this creation needs a goal"
"Nature's only a mask through which I speak"

"Mankind shall rise and then realize..."

Mankind is running toward the chasm, hiding its eyes not to see...

"You're just a piece of Nature
Taken to conscience
You're just another Creature
I master existence
To be !"

24. The Mental Frames (Part I)

Music & lyrics by Kalisia
[Instrumental]

25. How Could I

Music by Cynic
Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
How could I forget such a revelation
To love without fear and learn without question
How could I regret the meant occasions
I must begin this day again

Freedom and reason shine through
Paddle upon the clouds one's own canoe

How could I?

Humility take charge of me
Drown me in truth's modest waters
Loosen your grip, identity
Free me from an ego's falter

Freedom and reason shine through

How could I?

Love too often is only a dream
If I am harsh and unkind to myself
So I share these attitudes with you
Must I try?
How could I?

(lead: Paul)

Freedom and reason shine through
Paddle upon the clouds one's own canoe

Love too often is only a dream
How could I?

Love too often is only a dream
If I am harsh and unkind to myself
So I share these attitudes with you
For in this spewing cadence of my pride
How could I?

26. A Fortune In Lies

Music & lyrics by John Petrucci
I can remember when,
In the unity of our five-day sessions
Not even once did we hear the siren song
What kind of imagination
Asleep in some lyrical coma
Who's vain futile memory
Could have been so wrong?

You can make a fortune in lies
You can keep a giant alive
You can ride the red
Until everybody smiles

A trifling euphoria
was such an untimely religion
maybe your life can explain
the reason for my indecision
Here is a poor man
the heart of this monster creation
He said we both will be heroes
and I was led into temptation

You can make a fortune in lies
You can keep a giant alive
You can ride the red
Until everybody smiles

Can you show me your gold and your silver?
A hero in frozen water

"For the first time in a long time...
everything was right in my world...
and then I woke up..."

Now you've made a fortune in lies
and you kept a giant alive
You rode the red
You rode the red

27. I Am The Black Wizards

Music & lyrics by Emperor
Mightiest am I, but I am not alone in this cosmos of mine.
For the black hills consists of black souls, souls that already dies one
thousand deaths.
Behind the stone walls of centuries they breed their black art.
Boiling their spells in cauldrons of black gold.
Far up in
the mountains, where the rain fall not far, yet the sun cannot reach.
The wizards, my servants, summon the souls of macrocosm.
No age will escape my wrath.
I travel through time and I return to the future.
Igather wisdom now lost.
I visit again the eternally ancient caves, before a mighty Emperor thereupon came.
Watching the mortals "discovering" my chronicles, guarded by the old demons, even unknown
to me.
Once destroyed their souls are being summoned to my timeless prison of hate.
It is delightful to feast upon the screaming souls that was destroyed in my future.
How many wizards that serve me with evil.I know not.
My empires has no limits.
From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes.
I am the ruler and has been for eternity's long.
My wizards are many, but their essence is mine.
Forever there are in the hills in their stone homes of grief.
Because I am the spirit of their existence.I am them.
