Solar Fragment - A Spark Of Deity lyrics



Tracks



01. Man of Faith

Torn by a lie and defeated
by life I despaired
Every single hope was dashed
between the wheels of my chair
Now I revive! The sand beneath my feet:
This is my miracle, this is my release

Here I am, a man of faith
it was my destiny to come to this place
And I know my part: I will meet my fate
I will struggle till I see the island's heart Each of us was brought here for a purpose
each of us is at the island's service
The numbers cannot stop me
from facing Hatch and Rock
Call me hunter or scarface or just call me Locke

Here I am, a man of faith
it was my destiny to come to this place
And I know my part: I will meet my fate
I will struggle till I see the island's heart

(4 8 15 16 23 42 sum up, press "execute")
Yes, I looked right into the eyes of the island

(4 8 15 16 23 42 - you are doomed)
and what I saw was beautiful and you better trust your visions,
follow your siren!
Repent your sins to me!

Now I revive!
The sand beneath my feet:
This is my miracle, this is my release

Here I am, a man of faith
it was my destiny to come to this place
And I know my part: I will meet my fate
I will struggle till I see the island's heart

02. Take Me Higher

The death of the Taurus
has brought us here
Minos has taken revenge
We fear to die in exile but I know
there is still a chance for us
to go above the sea, my son,
don't touch the waves,
don't near the sun
Watch out!

Hear my words:
follow the clouds!
But in his days of levity
the boy is not aware at all
Father, save me your words
come, let us fly
like birds and Take me higher
on wings we are leaving
on wings we arise
Shore so dire
I'm longing for freedom
The price for it will soon be payed

So the tragic is foretold
the wax will melt
beneath the burning sun
My invention, is it safe?
Nature can't be replicated!
The claws of wind,
at once they reap
the young man falls into the sea
My fault! It's too late but now I see
the blaze in the sky
would have posed no threat
if we had chosen the night instead

Take me higher
on wings we are leaving
on wings we arise
Shore so dire
I'm longing for freedom
The price for it will soon be payed

03. To Thy Crown

So here I am after all these lies
This could be innocence,
I have been so blind
since the day I saw you
sitting by his side
But will you cover all your tears
and the secrets we shared?

My king, now hear me speak
(don't you look at me this way)
with passion and belief
(he might guess the play)
I will be serving you everlastingly Nevermore I'll cross the line
Nevermore I will fight
I am the last to destroy
all your blessed life
So I let go off your hand
and obey to Thy crown

The second day
that I am on the run
the rain is getting stronger
let the flood begin
Upon the water, reflections
reviving my memories

And as I wander torn in pain
I hear you whispering my name
Knight of mine, don't you depart! Nevermore I'll cross the line ...

Devotion and dishonour!

Restinction means to lose her
If I had one wish I'd choose
another life for us
no kingdom in between

A torrent raging wild
your face seems to rush by
So I will go down and
we unite one last time

Nevermore I'll cross the line ...

04. Lands, Titles, Nothing

Lord, we have come this far
but the next move will decide
whether there was sense at all
in this sacrifice of life
Silent terror
They are scared, in grief alone
Innocence was stained with blood
for a country they once owned

Independence,
your greatest desire
Is it worth to fight for
even though your spirit tires?
Foretime decisions
were all made selfishly
What good is that damned crown for
if it's earned deceivingly?

Your heart is free
Come, have the courage
to follow me Tonight we touch the sky
from anguish we rise
Nobility no longer reigns

Standing petrified
in the shadows of my throne
What have I done to those
who trusted in my plight?
I feel ashamed for my betrayal
and my theft of what they
all were struggling for

Cursed father!
My hate will die with you!
If only I had recognized
the trap we fell into
Rage and vengeance,
in sorrow both are drowned
So now it's up to me
to lead them on battlegrounds Your heart is free...

Tonight we touch the sky
from anguish we rise
Nobility no longer reigns
Defiance of endless tyranny
You have bled with Wallace
now bleed with me

And on this field
they stand outnumbered
Rain is falling, distant thunder
And with a roar they start to run
A dream's fulfilled, a new life has begun

Your heart is free...

Tonight we touch the sky...

05. So Long

I have written this
to calm your trembling hands
Know that our bond of affection
prevails my early end
Outrage they did blame me for
and I guess they are right
So tragic might be one's destiny
when fate and guilt decide

All of these colours
are fading into gray
Nameless faces,
they watch me pass away So long, I'll wait for you
and it tears my soul in two
Like all my broken
dreams I'm dying
This pain I'm going through
will bring me back to you
When time has come
we are united

To the fairest
I bowed my head
By a sinner
it is raised instead
I knew Thee well,
more than I thought No fears were harming
the bliss of our time
I will pay now for my crime

I hear the hangman call
(don't be afraid, we will meet again)
In the course of my duty I open the door

So long, I'll wait for you...

Don't lose your heart
Just know I'll be waiting
for you in the dark

So long, I'll wait for you...

I fade away

06. Fading Light

Underneath the mountainside lies a maze
of brashly stones, dark and freezing cold

Its secret yet is covered well
and unseen are most creatures dwelling in pain - so they say
Root and tendril twist their way through long forgotten halls
Noone's ever dared to cross before

Memorize your turns, my lad
in case you understand what I am trying to commend
Light is hope and on hope you depend Spying through the darkness: unresting eyes
When I turn around
they vanish all at once out of sight
Still prepared to attack
as they await the fading of light

Clinging to his oil-lamp hard
he moves on for hours
till he gets sight of an underground-lake,
so calm In its center stands a
mirror coated with thick grimes
So it is done, unveil the myth of time

Blind with curiosity
he's heading for the isle
across that narrow bridge, a wile
The sea engulfs
and extinguishes the light Spying through the darkness...

Memorize your turns, my lad...

Crying for salvation,
efforts in vain
Insanity!
I'm surrounded by the hands
of endless night
No creatures attack,
noone beholds
I'm surrounded by the hands
of endless night
No creatures attack,
noone beholds
the fading of light!

07. Wanderlust

Have you ever seen forests and hills?
a traveller once spoke
And in his eyes, there was a glint
yet unknown feelings it evoked
He told me tales of places and times
enchanted heart, a splinter in mind
With every word and with every smile
my past became a foolish waste of life

A further day has been born in the night
and with it comes the change
My meditations enlightened my views
I'm longing for those lands so strange
Duty says: Attend to me!
You have your task, you must not flee!
But freedom cries: Let me out!
So in the end I leave without a doubt Defying the dreams I have
into the light I go
May fortune be my friend

On this journey, miles and miles
Where is my path?
What lies beyond these mountains
framing my desire?
Oh, I won't return
until foreign seems my homeland
and I've found
the end of wanderlust

On the mantelpiece I left a note
waving my fellows goodbye
They might even have liked to ensue
but that's not the gist of why And so I write this book on my own
heading for the things yet to come
Gentle breeze, I close my eyes
I feel it now, my spirit starts to fly

Defying the dreams I have...

On this journey, miles and miles...

And now I stand
among the oaks of ancient times
and I begin to understand
the light in his eyes

On this journey, miles and miles...

08. The Assassin

A shadow creeping through the night
breathing in silence, hardly any sound
Warily avoiding light
cloaked in blackness, noone is around
Only the moon could see his face
emotionless, determined and pale

No sign, no trace
A moonlit lane,
so quiet and alone
No sign, no trace
A sudden blink: the dagger's
blade is drawn On that mission
I am straight
They demand I'll spill
blood at their feet
My work is based on hate,
on jealousy and greed
Stand up to me and fight
Forever you can't hide
Your death is my concern
By night I shall return

There is no shade in his hood
not even light in his eyes
His skull-key masters the lock
a dream will end
with a horrible surprise I don't know the way you lived
I'll never know your kin
or what you did
which makes me take
your breathing air
but honestly: I don't care!

On that mission...

Why should I be
punished in hellfire?
I'm just the bearer
being hired!

On that mission...

At dawn you will have learned!

09. Fragment of the Sun

Dawning veils the barren land
another cheerless day has fallen down
and will prevail until the end

A haze of misery is crawling from the ground
Soon the countryside in gray is drowned
All fortune-tellers, they speak of an everlasting night
Yet there is hope on our side Through the mist we are shining
Behold the spark of deity!
And by the colours of that star
our light will spread afar
across the lakes and the hills
fear no fire, just burn!

And when the clouds tear apart
you will see my face
will hear my voice
we came to bring
infernal noise Don't ask a single time what this is for
Just open up your mind and look
into the fragment of the sun!
It has begun!

Through the mist we are shining...

Inside the core of the light you will find just a melody
But once you've discovered the power in it
you will be free

Through the mist we are shining...
