Dark Lunacy - The Rain After The Snow lyrics



Tracks



01. Ab Umbra Lumen

It was never enough
What the Age of Gold
Was to me, it was fear
Behind the veil of 'Bride of Night'

I've ran from suffering
Life was a prodigy of eternal sheer
The Widow never thought
The same way of me

I have become
A heartless one
An epitaph of myself
Deity's shame
No paradise
Got to accept that

I'm lost
In the dark
In pain

Ab umbra lumen
Light is taking me
I am the void
Through martyrdom
From barrenness I'll flee
Just once more

The wanderer is looking
For atonement
For the shining pride
To cleanse the riverside
Tear apart her veil of lies
Rip her heart

It has come the time
To get out of this wood
I want to die facing her
In her eyes

I have become
A heartless one
An epitaph of myself
Deity's shame
No paradise

I'm lost
In the dark
In pain

To the moon I sold
The weakest of souls
And all my sense
And the whitest of words

And my pure
And the timeless beauty
Devoured my mind
'Cause I feared the end

I'm lost
In pain

Through my endless downfall
I find my missing soul
Inside over my shadows
I tried to save the dreamer

02. Howl

Howl
Gaunt and pale
I count my endless scars

I've tried
And tried
To open up my heart
Searching for that spark

Ignite and purify
My empty star
We are running out of time
Set the pace
Of this decay
A deathly hour is closing in

Howling
To the sacred father of time
Scatter my embers
Don't let your son desecrate my fate
My grave

Right
Howling against your control
Show me
What I'll remember
What will remain in this fog
Lord
You shan't control my path
I'll show you
How we're all just
An echo in time

Look at me
I'll live my shameless life
I'll try
And try
Look into my eyes
I'll stop the swing of ages

Lower your gaze
What can you see?
Prayers are meant
For those who believe
For our stubborn doubts
To dignify our faults

The swing of your blade
Is taking my core
Nothing remains
When the shadows are gone

What I cry for, it's mine
I'll drink my tears and howl

Right
Howling against your control
Show me
What I'll remember
What will remain in this fog
Lord
You shan't control my path
I'll show you
How we're all just
An echo in time

Look at me
I'll live my shameless life
I'll try
And try
Look into my eyes
I'll stop the swing of ages
And I'll save my soul tonight
Again

03. King With No Throne

The silence of snow
Plays its mighty chant
Winter, hear my fears

Do tears make a sound
When everything is still?
You taught me how to cry

And yet I am here
Short of diamonds in my eyes
I forgot how to walk
On my favorite stage
To dance without falling
To speak without faltering

To love my inner being
Winter, hit back at me
I'll steal away your crown

Inside your kingdom
How would you call me?
A king with no throne?
A fool with no home?
Inside the snowstorm
What makes us even?
The frailty of our feelings?
Their being errant?

There must be something here
Pounding in our chests
Don't ask me to pretend
I won't do that

Give me back
The innocence in my choices
Don't you know
This is what I'm waiting for?

Inside your kingdom
How would you call me?
A king with no throne?
A fool with no home?
Inside the snowstorm
What makes us even?
The frailty of our feelings?
Their being errant?

No shadows
No suffering
I restrain my soul
From flying high

Inside my kingdom
Would you call me
A king without throne?
A kingdom burns
Without a king

Winter (die), face me (diamond)
Praise my lavish farce (die)
(In my eyes)
All this fret on stage
Just eases all my fears

Finally (die), the truth is (diamond)
We're living this alone (die)
(Innocence in my choices)
After all our strains
The final curtain comes to caress us

Inside your kingdom
How would you call me?
A king with no throne?
A fool with no home?
Inside the snowstorm
What makes us even?
The frailty of our feelings?
Their being errant?

Each snowflake I swallow
Just tastes the same
But how bitter would I ever be
Outside your world?

The further I walk
The more I drift away
Often I feel that I restrain my soul
From flying high

The silence of snow
Played its mighty chant
Winter, hear my fears

04. Gold, Rubies And Diamonds

In this coldest winter
The rain bites
The ones with a human sentiment
And you won't remember
The warmness of spring
Of spring

The town cries in silence
In hopes of seeing justice for all
But this winter will dry off the mind

Steady distant wings
This soul wants to stay
More alive than life itself
She won't survive

Happy indeed I was
Loved by all
Embracing all the good souls
This said truth

And death stole me away all the sighs
Embracing my memories

And the swallows bring the spring
But the winter brought a swallow
And she brought spring to winter
Let this spring ignite all my soul

And death stole me away all the sighs
Embracing my memories

And death stole me away all the sighs
Embracing my memories

And take my eyes
Take my ruby, my gold leaves
And fly for my life

My gone life
My gone life

You decide to die here by my side
Circles and circles around all my town
In the frost you flied towards the other side
Circles and circles, my wings made of wax

Is this the end of a fairytale?
Your journey

(My journey)

My forgotten hopes
Your forsaken truth

05. Precious Things

"There's a wish in this night
For redemption and light
And I
I'm the essence of a sublime desire"

"It will be done"

"The preciousness of words"
Shatters the blackness around

We are prisoners of our time
We are all broken inside
Precious things are my mind's wealth
My last hope

Dreams lost in a white night
Illusion froze the tide
My longing for redemption
Of my pride

Calling for one more heavenly fire
In a season of lunacy of humanity
How many times will I remember
My wasted fights?

Always remember falling again
Shadows of my nonsense clenched my clarity
Nocturnal sorrow waits for me
Will you stay here while despair takes me?

We are prisoners of our time
We're all broken inside
Precious things are my mind's wealth
My last hope

Dreams lost in a white night
Illusion froze the tide
My longing for redemption
Of my pride and love

Precious things in my mind
Slip away from my sight
I run to the shore of the river
And you walk away
And I mourn

There's a time for rage
A moment for deceit
The memories stay
And lull me into lies
Will they rock me to sleep?
The beginning of the end

I'm learning to survive
All night after night
Learning to breathe
While all smothers me
Precious things bleed inside myself
In the corners of my mind

I'm prisoner of nights
I'm all broken inside
Precious things are my mind's wealth
My last hope

Dreams lost in a white night
Illusion froze the tide
My longing for redemption
Of my pride and love

Bleed away now

06. Tide Of My Heart

Fighting against my solitude
Against my broken rhymes
I am lost in your wound, I know
In the dead of the night
You'll light up all my way

A flash that crossed time
Not to throw to wind

We walked through the abyss
A story in our hands
Of two souls in the dead calm and storm

Everything
An unsung chant
Nothingness
The void unclimbed

Fighting against this new prospect
Against a million tears
'Cause I'm lost in your dream, I know
In this fading life
I can't stand reality

Fragments of my life
Never fall into symmetry
No regrets
Will never fail the symmetry

Марина, ты волна / [Marina, ty volna]
Моего сердца / [Mojego serdca]

Everything
An unsung chant
Nothingness
The void unclimbed

"I will never get used to you
Neither to being surprised
Nor to the private thoughts about you either
You are what I will dream about tonight
What will be dreamt about me tonight
To dream or to be dreamt of?
An unknown I in a strange dream
I never expect you
I always arouse you
If someone dreams of us tonight"

A flash that crossed time
Not to throw to wind

We walked through the abyss
Of sand and water
In dead calm and storm

Everything
An unsung chant
Nothingness
The void unclimbed

Everything
An unsung chant
Nothingness
The void unclimbed

Fighting against my solitude
The one of a ghost

07. The Rain After The Snow

Rain fell
Rain kissed me
Snow died
Back to my earth

Springtime
What takes me?
I'm here
But my drapes

They will fall forevermore
Before the world in fear
Life, cry your tears
Leave behind memories
Of a past hard to leave

Spring, comest thou
I forgot the last snow
I've been stolen
Of the prayer of a child

All their answers were vain
Help me to hide my seasons

They will fall forevermore
Before the world in fear
Life, cry your tears
Leave behind memories
Of a past hard to leave
And heal
Hard to conceal

Snow, come back
Ne'er leave me

Snow will fall

Snow will fall forevermore
At the feet of a rainy soul

Let your will soar
Let the rise of a dream
Freeze the sea of despair

Rain will fall forevermore
Over the fate of all men

Snow will fall forevermore
At the feet of a rainy soul

Rain will fall forevermore
Over the fate of all men

08. Life Deep In The Lake

Remember me
In this fallen night
Remember all my promises
And deep in this lake
You're swimming down
Down to deceit

This is myself
This is your fate
Can you see me
Miserable and divine?

I cry among these waters and
Remember me, I was fragile
You break the surface
With no regret
Your dignity at stake
Your joy for the past
Your hope has gone
In pieces, deceived
By all these ghosts
The life at the end of the lake
Drowning forever

My wild side
And my pride
And you really counted on all I said
Holy water
For your damnation

This is myself
This is your fate
Can you see me
Miserable and divine?

I cry among these waters and
Remember me, I was fragile
You break the surface
With no regret
Your dignity at stake
Your joy for the past
Your hope has gone
In pieces, deceived
By all these ghosts
The life at the end of the lake
Drowning forever

Remain sane, cry
And remain brave

What flesh cut, it hurt itself
This purity obscures the judgment
I'm well aware of how it tastes
'Cause shadows can belong to grace
This goes

I cry among these waters and
Remember me, I was fragile
You break the surface
With no regret
Your dignity at stake
Your joy for the past
Your hope has gone
In pieces, deceived
By all these ghosts
The life at the end of the lake
Drowning forever

09. The Awareness

Does it take
All life to understand
We're just part
Of the same infinity?

I'm now aware
No one will ever give
My years back to me
Except myself, my soul
The change defines
The passing of time
It's the act itself
Masters this cruel hold
There's just one rule for us

We walk alone
You cry for me
The trail of tears
I'm here

I was told
"Remember you're going to die"
We should know
First we're meant to live

Through the eyes of time
I decide to tread
On path of utopia
Not of survival
Set the vision of my world
No prayers to comfort
My very last journey
You'll keep all the answers
I left in my room of doubts

We walk alone
You cry for me
The trail of tears
I'm here

There you will keep
All my words
There in your heart
Untamed

No more to write about
There's still a lot to see
There's more than this
More questions than answers

My self-perception leads
The way beyond this end
This earthly matter, I know
It will always change
