Alpine Fault - Iraena's Ashes lyrics



Tracks



01. Into The Night

With every step I stumble forward through the night
Fight my way toward you longing
For the freedom from my world that binds me tight
You I yearn to find, release me

Searching
Lost alone along the shore
Dreaming
I'll be home before the dawn

Place my hand upon the Earth I held so dear
Watch the ground give way beneath me

Searching
Lost alone along the shore
Dreaming
I'll be home before the dawn

Softly spoken were the words I longed to hear
Struggling to pronounce them clearly
Contrast screams and whispers falling on deaf ears
Desperate for you to believe me

Will you wait for me at the end of time?
Will you follow me into darkness,
Into my mind?
Hastened by your hand my last fear flees from sight
Moonstruck ocean calling me down
Into the night

leave behind these humans flaws
Ever hoping
I could count for so much more

Will you wait for me at the end of time?
Will you follow me into darkness,
Into my mind?
Will you wait for me at the end of time?
Will you follow me? Follow me!

02. Above The Storm

If I give my guilt to you
Will you bear the burden?
If you taught me to be strong
I've forgotten all I've learned

Reflections in glass lying scattered on the floor
The mirror reveals the demons of my inner war
I'm losing the fight
Step into the light

I will step into the heart
To find I'm only dreaming
Blindly holding on to fear
Breathing lies across the dust

If we turn this all around
Stop the endless screaming
I only want to be found
And forget about the past

Reflections in glass lying scattered on the floor
The mirror reveals the demons of my inner war
I'm losing the fight
Step into the light

Lift your head above the storm to see the stars
Holding on to what we fear
Distorting what is real
Giving voices to your shame you feed the fire
I don't need to live your lie
One last look and it's goodbye

Reflections in glass lying scattered on the floor
The mirror reveals the demons of my inner war
I'm losing the fight
Step into the light

Lift your head above the storm to see the stars
Holding on to what we fear
Distorting what is real
Giving voices to your shame you feed the fire
I don't need to live your lie
One last look and it's goodbye
The reflection turns to night
Erase the mind
All that was is now in dust buried sweetly in the lie

03. I'll See You Soon

So far from home
'cross plains of time
The moments of silent content
And closeness are far and few
But forever I'll remember you

I'll see you soon
I'll meet you there
Did you think that I'd just go on
Without you here

Visions of safety and home
Are fading from my eyes
Washed by tears of longing
The touch of your hand on my skin
Remembering our last goodbyes
I give myself up to the sky

I'll see you soon
I'll meet you there
Did you think that I'd just go on
Without you here

04. Mourning Has Broken (Sleep)

Another day of mourning
Moving lips talking heads
Flowers at the railings
Tributes to the dead

A procession in black
Feet across the tiles
Voices crack with emotion
Distorted corners to the smiles

Do you think they sleep at night
Do they see us lying there
Do they know the pain they've caused
Do they even care

Another day of mourning
Tormented man rules the waves
But demons roam the earth
And the righteous won't be saved

Who cares who starts the war
It'll end here in hell
You'll be long dead before you hear
Floyd's tolling of the iron bell

Do you think they sleep at night
Do they see us lying there
Do they know the pain they've caused
Do they even care

Another day of mourning
Moving lips talking heads
Flowers at the railings
Tributes to the dead

A procession in black
Feet across the tiles
Voices crack with emotion
Distorted corners to the smiles

Do you think they sleep at night
Do they see us lying there
Do they know the pain they've caused
Do they even care

05. Requiem

Still searching for Iraena
Visions lost in wasted dreams
Drifting slowly without direction
Seven days in this endless sea

Through the emptiness came a whisper
Drawn closer by silent screams
For a second I thought I'd found her
Just a shadow of what had been

In the distance a forlorn figure
Draped in shadow but darker still
Blackened fingers beckon me over
In an instant I'm washed away

06. The Watcher Beneath

The years slip away yet the night brings me a glimpse
of hope to our otherwise faded dreams.
Those dreams and all our memories are intertwined beneath the sea .
Find me, hold me, shelter me from the darkness?

07. Severance

Empty halls, echoed sighs
Moving figures with blank staring eyes
Restrained and blurred, mind wiped clear
Brought before him I'll shed no tear

Rise above your fear
Fear of what's real
Look to your wits end
You'll find me there

Candles burnt to blackened ends
Confess
Confess

Hear out your pain, make amends
Confess
Confess

Came to this place seeking finality and grace
Forget all you've learned leaving me nothing

Burnt and broken, bound to fall
Break free
Break free

Finally severed from it all
Break free
Break free

Came to this place seeking finality and grace
Forget all you've learned leaving me nothing

08. March Of The Tides (Palladio)

[Instrumental]

09. Under A Dying Sky

Gone are fields of verdure
Scenes of ruin are strewn before me
Gone are blue horizons
Lost to a dying sky...

Gone are days of summer
Scenes of winter are forged around me
Gone are hints of sunlight
Crushed by a dying sky...

"And men were gathered around their blazing homes
To look once more into each others face
Happy were those who dwelt within the eye of the volcanoes
And their mountain torch
A fearful hope was all the world contained
Forests were set on fire
And hour by hour they fell and faded
And all was black."

Gone are skies of azure
Scenes that once were are left behind me
Left are several hundred
Wondering "what went wrong..?"
