Avian - Ashes And Madness lyrics



Tracks



01. Ashes and Madness

From the ashes comes the madness of man
Consumed by selfishness and greed
Chaos will reign upon this Earth
For generations upon generations
Until the day that peace will be restored ...
forever!

Someone out in the night
Calls out to the dark
Voices come alive
Rising up from the underworld

Shadows fade from sight
Slipping into the dark dimensions
Lightning flashes bright
Thunder rolls across the wasteland

Fate's disguise has left you blind
The truth is in your mind's eye

Ashes fill the night flowing from behind
Dark reality becomes askew
Flashes in the sky reflecting in your mind
Madness deep inside of you

Turn to look but no one's there
Precious seconds waste away
Life and death slowly turn
Into a dance of deadly decay

Dreams and lies have ruled your life
You raise your hands up to a new sky
Fate's disguise has left you blind
You seek the truth within your mind's eye

Ashes fill the night flowing from behind
Dark reality becomes askew
Flashes in the sky reflecting in your mind
Madness deep inside of you

Somewhere out of sight
Beyond the doors of the dark
Whispers fill the night
Calling out from afar

Phantoms appear tonight
Back from another dimension
Lightning tears the sky
Thunder explodes throughout the wasteland

Dreams and lies have ruled your life
You raise your hands up to a new sky
Fate's disguise has left you blind
You seek the truth within your mind's eye

Ashes fill the night flowing from behind
Dark reality becomes askew
Flashes in the sky reflecting in your mind
Madness deep inside of you

02. The Lost and Forsaken

Fighting the hunger they search for the power
The crash of the thunder shakes the ground down under
Their fragile spirits, uplifting from their songs
Singing to their Gods, what could have gone wrong?

One last tripp across the wastelands
Bleeds their souls into iron hands
Faith and dreams vanish in the night
Blood and tears flow out of sight

The lost and forsaken have been taken

Angels and demons battle for their spirits
A flash of the lightning sends chills and they fear it
The dying embers filling the night sky
The end is nearing, pick up your sword and fight

One last tripp across the wastelands
Bleeds their souls into iron hands
Faith and dreams vanish in the night
Blood and tears flow out of sight

Dreams are not illusions, just another wall
Break the chains around you and you'll stand tall

The Lost and Forsaken have been taken
Alone in the Darkness, their faith has vanished

One last trip across the wastelands
Bleeds their souls into iron hands
Faith and dreams vanish in the night
Blood and tears flow out of sight

Dreams are not illusions, just another wall
Break the chains around you and you'll stand tall

The Lost and Forsaken have been taken
Alone in the Darkness, their faith has vanished
The Lost and Forsaken have been taken
Alone in the Darkness, their pain has vanished

03. Into the Other Side

There in the distance, I hear a faint whispering
A fallen angel calling out to me
"Fall away into these arms; they'll bring you no harm"
Softly echoed in the breeze

Look deep in my eyes
Can you see the truth inside
face your darkest fears
It's time to wake up from this dream

Long from wrong or right
Fear will soon subside
The dream world leave behind
Cross Into The Other side

The tingling fills my soul, blue moon glistening
Icy landscape fades like words in the distance
"Fall away into these arms; they'll bring you no harm"
Softly echoing in the breeze

Finally I find the madness washing over me
I waste the freedom and throw away what's left of me
I feel the darkness waste away the fabric of my being
Eternal damnation awaits my spirit; need my sanity

Long from wrong or right
Fear will soon subside
The dream world leave behind
Cross Into The Other side
Long from wrong or right
Fear will soon subside
The dream world leave behind
Cross Into The Other side

There in the distance, I hear a faint whispering
A fallen angel calling out to me
"Fall away into these arms; they'll bring you no harm"
Softly echoed in the breeze

Look deep in my eyes
Can you see the truth inside
face your darkest fears
It's time to wake up from this dream

Long from wrong or right
Fear will soon subside
The dream world leave behind
Cross Into The Other side
Long from wrong or right
Fear will soon subside
The dream world leave behind
Cross Into The Other side

04. Esoteric Lies

Man kills his brother
Stained sands of crimson flow
Dying for their faith
A dim and sightless clan
They cannot see beyond the veil
of a senseless man

All for one and one for all
The nature of their leaders' call
Twisting lies to make them real
Fighting for their ideals

No more lies
The world is blind to their vengeful eyes
Well disguised
It's hard to find the truth in trying times
The more we try to find the answers buried inside
They beguile the truth with Esoteric Lies

People not of a single mind
Countries broken, divided is what you'll find
You kill in the name of your father

All for one and one for all
The nature of their leaders' call
Twisting lies to make them real
Fighting for their ideals

No more lies
The world is blind to their vengeful eyes
Well disguised
It's hard to find the truth in trying times
The more we try to find the answers buried inside
They beguile the truth with Esoteric Lies

Another hope another fear
Connecting throughout the years

All for one and one for all
The nature of their leaders' call
Twisting lies to make them real
Fighting for their ideals

No more lies
The world is blind to their vengeful eyes
Well disguised
It's hard to find the truth in trying times
The more we try to find the answers buried inside
They beguile the truth with Esoteric lies

06. Beyond the Hallowed Gates

Time falls through the past
Gone for certain
Dreams are never meant to last
They're pure illusion

Chance encounter on a winter's night
Steals your soul
and destroys your mind
Final hopes and fantasies
Take away your reality

The chance you take
Will tempt your darkest fate
Fall From Grace
Beyond The Hallowed Gates

Memories grip your fragile mind
Haunt and torment you
Try to reach out for the light
It will redeem you

Chance encounter on a winter's night
Steals your soul from deep inside
Final hopes and fantasies
Take away your reality

All the dreams you've left behind
Are buried in the darkness of your mind
Hopes and fears aren't well disguised
They leave a trace to be found
The chance you take will tempt your darkest fate
Fall From Grace
Beyond The Hallowed ...

Gates of freedom lay ahead
The road before you
is filled with hate
Wisdom and sorrow
Go hand in hand;
It's up to you to control your fate

Chance encounter on a winter's night
Leaves you whole and refined
Final hopes and fantasies
Fulfil your ultimate reality

All the dreams you've left behind
Are buried in the darkness of your mind
Hopes and fears aren't well disguised
They leave a trace to be found
The chance you take will tempt your darkest fate
Fall From Grace
Beyond The Hallowed Gates

07. Thundersoul

Calling out to the voices of your life
Will he find what he's looking for
Emptiness consumes his mind
He's trying to break through the door

A freezing hand from out of nowhere
Reaches out and pulls you through the broken window
A silent cry escapes from inside
It would be wise to heed this distant warning

Run and hide just like a lost and frightened child
A freezing hand from out of nowhere
Reaching out and pulling you into never

Slipping, turning, falling into the underworld
Screaming, burning, calling out to Thundersoul

Why do you fear the coming night
Will you wake to find you're lost inside
The maze that leads you to nowhere
Like a rat that's destined to stay there

Slipping, turning, falling into the underworld
Screaming, burning, calling out to Thundersoul
Twisting, yearning, fading from this cruel world
Screaming, burning, crying out to Thundersoul

Live and learn or die and burn
Face your fears and you'll be reborn
Loneliness destroys your will for life
Rise above and stand in the light

A freezing hand from out of nowhere
Reaches out and pulls you
Through the broken window
A silent cry escapes from inside
It would be wise to heed this distant warning

Run and hide just like a lost and frightened child
A freezing hand from out of nowhere
Reaching out and pulling you into the never

Slipping, turning, falling into the underworld
Screaming, burning, calling out to Thundersoul
Twisting, yearning, fading from this cruel world
Screaming, burning, crying out to Thundersoul

08. All The Kings Horses

One by one we share the flame,
Blazing high through the land
Sorrow's calling out our names,
Shackled spirits die in vain

Take my hand and follow me,
Together we'll find our destiny
Our world is on the brink of
Having all life extinct
Stop the madness now!
The land of faith will drown!
Tomorrow's fate is almost gone

One by one we share the flame,
Blazing high through the land
Sorrow calling our names,
Shackled spirits die in vain

All the King's Horses and all his men
Fight to save the world from the rain
Fallen heroes live in our hearts
Their selfless deeds have set them apart
All the King's Horses and all his men
Together they will rise again
Demons try to rule our minds
We stand as one; we will never die

We show our children what's in store
If we don't find a way that's pure
Howling winds and fiery skies
Destined to be what's left behind
Stop this madness now!
The land of faith will drown!
Tomorrow's fate is almost gone

One by one we share the flame,
Blazing high through the land
Sorrow calling our names,
Shackled spirits die in vain

All the King's Horses and all his men
Fight to save the world from the rain
Fallen heroes live in our hearts
Their selfless deeds have set them apart
All the King's Horses and all his men
Together they will rise again
Demons try to rule our minds
We stand as one; we will never?

One by one we share the flame,
Blazing high through the land
Sorrow calling our names,
Shackled spirits die in vain.
All the King's Horses; die in vain?

09. Never Fade from Me

Trembling with fear, I stood over him
His lie filled life was just about to end
Drowning in sweat, he plead his case
I knelt down beside him, and whispered in his ear ...

A crash came from the broken vein; I watched her slip away
Screaming pain rang out again; my turn to taste the blade
For all the days that will remain; the memory will never fade ...
Will Never Fade From Me

Pretending to be a friend, his smile can't hide the lies
Diluting the wrong and right, as the hours passed by
The rage built from deep within,
Just one shot would do him in
I knelt beside him, and watched him disappear

A crash came from the broken vein; I watched her slip away
Screaming pain rang out again; my turn to taste the blade
For all the days that will remain; the memory will never fade ...
Will Never Fade From Me

Days of sorrow fill my each and every tomorrow
Reality it seems no longer cares about me
Haunting words reflecting in the mirror
Remind me of her year after year after year

A crash came from the broken vein; I watched her slip away
Screaming pain rang out again; my turn to taste the blade
For all the days that will remain; the memory will never fade ...
Will Never Fade From Me

Deep in my mind I see her final destiny
Never forget her face, she's not to blame;
It's all on me

10. Time and Space Part II: Unlock the Mystery

Now the time has come at last to recover the past
To dream and live in this glorious land
When the phantoms call, we will all stand tall
Never to fall; We will remember

The time and place beyond all space where we lost our innocence
Shattered dreams can't be replaced they're locked inside our memories
The lion's den will open again unless we seal its identity
Time and Space within our hands will Unlock The Mystery

Voices from the great beyond tell us to carry on
To rise and fight and never give in
As the dawn approaches, from far beyond comes a shining light
We know it's now or never

The time and place beyond all space where we lost our innocence
Shattered dreams can't be replaced they're locked inside our memories
The lion's den will open again unless we seal its identity
Time and Space within our hands will Unlock The Mystery

Take my hand; into the Promised Land I will lead you
Time and space will disappear; I promise you

Step out of the darkened land into the cleansing rain
Into the rays of light shining bright
Clouds will part away into a brand new day
That is here to stay and is filled with hope and promise

The time and place beyond all space where we lost our innocence
Shattered dreams can't be replaced they're locked inside our memories
The lion's den will open again unless we seal its identity
Time and Space within our hands will Unlock The Mystery

From the ashes comes the madness of man
Consumed by selfishness and greed
Chaos will reign upon this earth
For generations upon generations
Until the day that peace will be restored?forever!
