01. Intro - Hajimari

(Instrumental)

03. Faceless

I've lost myself, can't find but wrath inside
So bitter, to everyone and every single thing in life

I'm all eyes - searching something to be hated even more
I cry a river red, hope the'll all be pulled down they drown and

I'll haunt their dreams imbued with vanity
Honor, I'll show them. Respect, by slaying them all
Carrying their the mark of cursed forevermore
My touch , made of pai, made of thorns and nails to tear you down

For I cannot change my fate I scream
Let soul go on ahead

For I cannot change it all
Please just set me free

Slave of his own, will bound to hate
Madness creates bittersweet, fading, darkening harmony
Demigod, false truth, scale balanced be within
Breeding my wrath even more... and

Oh, how I find myself again
Together standing there, still all alone

Oh, how I hate myself again
Falling once more with the tide, it makes me blind and

Still I see, how I fool myself again
Whisper out the words to hold it down

Oh, how I praise myself again
Pierces through the skin but still I seem faceless

For I cannot change my fate I scream
Release the flames inside

For I cannot change it all
Please set them free

For I can not just stay down
No way I could set it aside
For I crush you be set free
Though I'll die, freedom never will

Oh, how I find myself again
Together standing there, still all alone

Oh, how I hate myself again
Falling once more with the tide, it makes me blind and still I see

...fool myself again
Whisper out the words to hold it down
Oooh, how I praise myself again
Pierces through the skin but still it burns

Now, forced to see reality
Under this skin dwells a human heart

Oh, still this pain remains the same
Pierces through the skin but still I seem faceless.

04. Of Honor

Once again, story torn must be told
It shall erase the lies spoken of others (Those eyes don't see their owners)

So much we've shed hate that there's no one left to blame
All is one and one is all, shouldn't we all be the same?

Honor and pride are still worth nothing
It's a curse set upon us, it shall be broken
So much we shed tears for our useless inner fear
The time has come, to see and hear how once again the end is near

Gaze to the path before,
Not sealed anymore
See everything from within,
Confront your inner being

Of honor I must speak, these words in which I believe
Thou shalt shelter my words in thy heart

Of honor I must speak words forgotten, still real
Thou shalt search for my words in thy heart

Just listen.

Gaze to the path before,
Not sealed anymore
See everything from within,
Confront your inner being

Of honor I must speak, these words in which I believe
Thou shalt shelter my words in thy heart

Of honor I must speak words forgotten, still real
Thou shalt shelter for my words in thy heart

05. Dead Cold Inside

Tired from the war is the warrior's heart
The wind keeps still, it whispers words somewhere far

This moment brings tears into his tormented eyes
Memories of home, the reason why he joined the fight

Winter has been winning this battle since it's first day
Fear's already friend, it keeps me raising up my blade

All this time I've fought for everything that has meaning
I've had my share of grief, so many deaths I'm forced to see

In my heart I've sheltered everything I need
To walk through this blood rain, even if it's me who bleeds

No wasted years behind - this war could never be over
Being still alive makes me feel dead cold inside

In my heart I've sheltered everything I need
To walk through this blood rain, even if it's me who bleeds

No wasted years behind - this war could never be over
Being still alive makes me feel dead cold inside

In my heart I've sheltered everything I need
To walk through this blood rain, even if it's me who bleeds
No wasted years behind - this war will last forever
If alive I feel dead cold inside

06. Fear Never Within

Wretched is the empire inside out, wretched the people within
Soulless searching, sky's fading , hope's gone into hiding

No one wants to see what's to come
The rising chaos even now on every single one

This is the final curtain call
Final chance to rise, to stand to forge an iron heart

No, for my will never changes
In this life, I won't die , I won't dear to walk through night

Face all and everything trying to weaken me
I'm conscience bound, to stand my ground, shout it out
Fear never within. No never within.

Trees wither, green turns gray, darkness only left to hoard
Bravery lost, weak mind guides hands too weak to even grab a shield or sword

Once called men, these wrecks deserve no word to be wasted on
Sad I feel , riding through the plains, even stars lose their shine one by one

Right!

I do want to see what's to come
I'm not afraid to see the chaos in every single one

No, for my will never changes
In this life, I won't die , I won't fear to walk through night

Face all and everything trying to weaken me
I'm conscience bound, to stand my ground, shout it out
Fear never within.

No, no, no, no, no fear!

07. Blindfold

Welcome to my realm, twisted but real where no one can see
Where cold gets stronger, grows everyday it flows through thee

Eyes all around you not watching a thing, blindfolded by lies

No word can be said, they hear but themselves
My silence keeps them alive

Not a word that you hear them say will ever be true
Like a blade it pierces and makes you blinded too

They follow their path having no sight
Their steps guided by blind

Don't want to hear it spoken out loud
That their lifes are filled with lies
Helpless I stand here, day after day, trying to stay sane
I don't feel the hatred, neither the grief, but I live in their pain.

Not a word that you hear them say will ever be true
Like a blade it pierces and makes you blinded too

They say that nothing good will last, yet they're living like everyone
How can one lie in such way and kill all dignity?

They say that nothing good will last, yet they're living like everyone
How can one lie in such way, if they live for dying?

They say that nothing good will last, yet they're living like everyone
How can one lie in such way and kill all dignity?

They say that nothing good will last, yet they're living like everyone
How can one lie in such way and kill all honor?

Oh, lie in such way -
Wearing blindfold

08. Wrath Of Heaven

"Eye for an eye" said the old man
For mankind's sake has he cried

Wisdom of what to become had been
blessed into his mind

Me myself I'm sick of trying
to help this land evil to the core
For now I'll be an observer
I'll say a prayer, nothing more

Wrath of Heaven sets, the world is cursed
by all the answers written by man (it's all in vain)

I despise the question of
"why, what we have done to earn this
All that's forgotten has returned as the
Wrath Of Heaven

Yes the Wrath of Heaven sets, the world is cursed
by all the answers written by man (it's all in vain)

I'm gazed by them now, it is me they want to blame
But they don't see in my heart's concealed something
They'll never take away

I don't fear anything anymore,
I know, I'm just a sculpture made of glass
I've reached my end and lived as I am until this day
We stand on the edge of the world now, prepared to fly to eternity
I know by the wisdom of all, there's no death for us by the Wrath of Heaven
by tIt stands besides us til' the end

09. Blade In The Snow

Part I: Sakura's Omen (instrumental)

Part II: A Master and a Servant

Scars of countless number
Carved with the knife of time

Gone are fights for pain inside
Flames smothered by defeat

Once was he invincible
Once walked above the gods
Beat by unlikely champion
Now he kneels before a man

All was changed, a fateful night
Battle for the thousandth blade

Humble mind over haughty matter
In a master a servant revealed

''Flakes cold, white slowly fall
Grows silent the land again

Leaves wither, speak the words unheard
Yet true for a tormented soul seeking answer''

''Flakes cold, white slowly fall
Grows silent the land again.

Silent are the woods, silent are the waters,
Silent is the bridge once surrounded by a wall of steel
One arrived, two walked away, nothing stayed the same
To feel the life in every breath, every soul he takes
That is the way of a warrior.''

Stars so far away, alone they stay, like now my blade in the snow
No more there's a need to ask the questions

Stars they guide me, they give my peace, as I leave my blade in the snow
No more there's a need to find an answer

Stars so far away, alone they stay like now my blade in the snow
Now I've found the path, now's there a meaning for my war

Free from all, he joined a war
No longer one his own

Once alone, now gives his swords
To serve his master's cause

Part III : Betrayal and standing death

Traitor, a betrayal, a fallen among them
Serpent, poisons me, it's venom my own blood

Despair, defeat draws near, no way to change the course
Only one, after nightfall still stands on his feet.

Part IV : River Sanzu/ Birth of a legend (instrumental)

Part V : Blade in the Snow

Stars so far away, alone they stay, like now my blade in the snow
No more there's a need to ask the questions

Stars so far away, alone they stay, like now my blade in the snow
No more there's a need to ask the questions (please give me peace)

Stars, they guide me, they give me peace, I leave my blade in the snow
Stars please guide me

''Flakes cold, white slowly fall
Grows silent the land again
Earth, mountains, rivers - hidden in the nothingness
In the nothingness - Earth mountains, rivers revealed
It is our path defining our desires
Our desires defining our goal
Our goal defining our deeds
Our deeds defining who we are
Spring flowers, winter snows
There's no being or non-being , nor denial itself.

I've been set free
