01. Seekers Of The Truth

An inherited
Collective
Force fed mind-patterns
But hidden inside
Their illusion
Nothing but lies

We deter
Their ideals
We won´t accept
A doctrine that conceals reality

Because we are the seekers
of the truth

A vigorous strife towards redemption
An everlasting goal to reveal the truth
People cry out in search for a redeemer
We repel weakness and seek the truth

To live with passion
and fight for a purpose
Hearts filled with compassion
because we are the seekers of the truth
And can not compromise what we believe

The masses follow their own tail
afraid to turn
Indoctrinated
to a dogma
Now they must face the shame

We will remain
True to our cause
To protect
Our undying
Legacy of truth
And to ignite an uprising

Because we are the seekers
of the truth

A vigorous strife towards redemption
An everlasting goal to reveal the truth
People cry out in search for a redeemer
We repel weakness and seek the truth

To live with passion
and fight for a purpose
Hearts filled with compassion
because we are the seekers of the truth
And can not compromise what we believe

(we believe, we believe, we believe...)

To live with passion
and fight for a purpose
Hearts filled with compassion
because we are the seekers of the truth
And can not compromise what we believe

And can not compromise what we believe.

02. Soul Adventurer

You search for meaning, search for reason
The truth that is within you comes alive
Renewed awareness arising
Days of substance in reality
Leave the world of mental abstraction
And gaze into the depths of your soul
As a means of solace
As a means of release

Soul adventurer
Wanting to go there
As an inner space traveler
In an internal trance

Travel inside your own dimensions
Soul searching in an inner holy space
Introspective insights
Open the gates to your soul sanctuary
Find your purpose, find your reason
Search for the answers to life's mysteries
Who are you?
What's your purpose?
What's your way to inner peace?

A new dimension of consciousness
The truth that is real in you
Comes alive
To live forever
Leave behind the world of mental abstraction

03. Blood We Shed

There's a time for reconciliation; and there's a time to shed blood
Now is the time to shed blood

Stupid minds
High aspirations
With unclear vision
To reach new heights
In creative expression
In the name of art

The blood we shed
In artistic creation
Blood we shed
In devotion to art
Blood we shed towards new ambitions
Blood we shed

Alive and vital
As a creative force
With aim for perfection
We say no compromise
In artistic creation
We must [?] (go!)

The blood we shed
In artistic creation
Blood we shed
In devotion to art
Blood we shed towards new ambitions
Blood we shed
Blood we shed

Blood we shed for you
In artistic creation
Blood we shed for you
In devotion to our art
Blood we shed for you
Towards new ambitions
Blood we shed for you
Towards the dream we are leaving on

Blood we shed for you
In artistic creation
Blood we shed for you
In devotion to our art
Blood we shed for you
Towards new ambitions
Blood we shed for you
Towards the dream we are leaving on


The blood we shed
In artistic creation
Blood we shed
In devotion to art
Blood we shed towards new ambitions
Blood we shed
Blood we shed

The blood we shed
In artistic creation
Blood we shed
In devotion to art
Blood we shed towards new ambitions
Blood we shed
Blood we shed
Blood we shed
Blood we shed

04. And Quiet Flows The Scheldt

Grey rustic buildings
Divided by cobblestone streets
Pigeons flock on the pavement
Cnadle-lit atmosphere in street side bars
Paul Rubens rises in the hazy air
As the cathedral glows in the night
Flares of cerise and magenta stream
Fading in the starry night sky
Paul Rubens rises in the hazy air
As the cathedral glows in the night

And quiet flows the Scheldt
Dreaming away for a while
Gazing through the morning
Unto the flaming beacon of daylight

With the season, comes autumn
Follow the flowing leaves
Through the winding alleys
Watch them scatter across the square
The fog comes creeping
Clinging in the misty air
Overlooking the harbor
And quiet flows the Scheldt

And quiet flows the Scheldt
Dreaming away for a while
At the going down of the sun
As the stars are known to the night

05. Origin

Whenever and wherever
Your inner essence extracts
Free flow of life energy
The karmic cycle of reaction

Wathcers of the mind
Enlightened masters
Mindfulness in its purest form
As light emanates from the sun
We remember the origin
And return to the source

In a present state
A state of no-mind
Here
Now
In the ceaseless present
Our existence is manifested

Our existence is manifested
Embrace the myriad of lights
And let your light shine through

Mind presence
Your inner-self stands ripe for the harvest
Cleansing your soul

06. En Forgangen Tid (Times Of Yore Pt. II)

Tiden tærer, tiden visker bort
Matte øyne, et mettet sinn
For han bærer med seg minnene
Stum som tiden flyr førbi

Han ser en verden hvor kaos råder
Som i et bekmørkt maleri
Strøk for strøk med utslitt pensel
Strøk for strøk med raseri

Han synker ned i sitt eget mørke
Kun lysglimt fra en forgangen tid
En blafrende flamme i ferd med å slukke
Hans æra er snart forbi

I hans sinn som et manifest til fortids prakt
En betagende fortelling om et levd liv
Innhentet av fordums stolthet
Vokst fra sin tid

Tiden tærer, tiden visker bort
Lukkede øyne, et stilnet sinn
For igjen står bare minnene
Avtrykk fra en svunnen tid

07. Ghost Path

Shadows moving in the corners
Vague Creatures in the mist
Looming darkness
Echoes fill the empty space

Ghost path
Where the lost souls go when they die
To redeem their faith where they lay
Before they enter the spirit world
Ghost path
Where the lost souls go
In search of release
To become ghosts in the afterlife

Outside in the rays of sun
Winding routes lead to the pantheon
Inside the ruins
Bushes placed to cover the dead

08. As The Black Horde Storms

Hollow days
We wake to confrontation
Tribulations at hand
As the earth is heeling towards an abyss
Cosmic powers are summoned
At dawn
A blaze will be unleashed

As the black horde storms
We prepare for the onslaught
Moving in marches
To gather upon the plains
We guard the gates
And repel the storm
Sworn to an oath
The liberated shall walk the brightest path

Deadly patterns
Infecting the roots of our living
Dwelling in the depths
The adversities of man
Hidden in the darkness
Marauders are watching
At the dawn
A blaze will be unleashed

09. Standing On The Ground Of Mammoths

Burning skies descend
As we're closer to the end
The dust of centuries has passed over us
The roads ahead are unknown
Burning skies of eternity
A new world will emerge
From the ground of Mammoths
As the old ways regain their eminence

Hear the roar of the nucleus
A call of nature from the earth's inner core
The language of an universal tongue
To be spoken
For an eon

Titans will fall
As the sun sets on us all
A new master commands our destiny
The roads ahead are unknown
And a new world will emerge
From the ground of Mammoths
As the old ways regain their eminence
