Tracks



01. Pain

I kiss you dry
Oh, child of mine
And set you free
So carelessly

Your bliss, divine
Your scars like mine
I rest in vain
Watch you in pain

(Pain) and so the Earth, it parts (parts)
An from its wounds births and orphan child
(Child) a mirror of the world (world)
For all to see its harrowing pain

Day in, day out
They abuse
Betray their sacred earth
Day in, day out
They'll accuse you
Of claiming you are mine

You fall apart
My child you are
And as if you're me
You'll collapse and scream
Each dawn is yours
Shades of azure
Will fade slowly
As you learn how it is to be me

(Me) and so the Earth, it parts (parts)
An from its wounds births and orphan child
(Child) a mirror of the world (world)
For all to see its harrowing pain

Day in, day out
They abuse
Betray their sacred earth
Day in, day out
They'll accuse you
Of claiming you are mine

Born to absorb all the pain in the world
Like a voodoo doll of mankind
How did I become the eye for an eye?
Fearful of your unruly wrath

02. Death

Time is just a means to an end
Who are you to decide
Since it all comes down to me?

I can end your
Suffering so
Take my hand
I'll never let go

Here I am, I've come for you
Look me in the eyes and
Tell me your name
You and I will go away
You have seen the sun rise
For the last time

The circle of life gives all to you who must
Relinquish for the circle of life

What for you is sorely brief
Is my everlasting chore

Take my hand
I'll never let go

Here I am, I've come for you
Look me in the eyes and
Tell me your name
You and I will go away
You have seen the sun rise
For the last time

You and I
At the end of time
You and I
Step out of the light

You and I
At the end of time
You and I
Step out of the light
You'll be mine
You'll be mine

I can end your
Suffering so
Take my hand
I'll never let go

Here I am, I've come for you
Look me in the eyes and
Tell me your name
You and I will go away
You have seen the sun rise
For the last time

03. Love

Pitch-black, sparkling
Truthful desires
Hurts me with your silence
Until we reunite
Hear my gleeful yearning
Forever bound to try

Take me to the end of the world
Flee with me to the end
Lay me down in the arms of the night
Dance with me once we're there

When in love, when in love with the darkness
All is lost to a bitter embrace
When in love, when in love with the darkness
All that's left of you will fade

Death, requite my love
Soon I'll be your muse
Death, requite my love
Soon to be consumed

Take me to the end of the world
Flee with me to the end
Lay me down in the arms of the night
Dance with me once we're there

Purge me with your violence
Until we are as one
Ceasing to exist
I'm forever bound to you

Take me to the underworld
Sleep with me till the end

And finally, death do us part
From the world, silence in the dark
Silently rid me of pain
Forever, give to me your name
Love

04. The Spell

Loathsome spell
Which cast I do covertly
Gruesome spell
So tenderly forged just for you

Eternal life will haunt you
Eternal pain

From roots to moons
From roots to moons

From roots to moons
Death is my name
From roots to moons
We are the same
From roots to moons
Death is my name
From roots to moons
We are the same

Clandestine spell
You'll never know what it holds

Eternal life will haunt you
Eternal pain

From roots to moons
Death is my name
From roots to moons
We are the same
From roots to moons
Death is my name
From roots to moons
We are the same

You
You are the chosen one
For you
You'll never see me again

From roots to moons
Death is my name
From roots to moons
We are the same
From roots to moons
Death is my name
From roots to moons
We are the same

05. Burn

Fire, take me there
Burning all the strands of my life
Smoke and the cinder ash
Kindred ties of mine

(Feeding the fire)
(Unscathed and cold)
(Feeding the fire)
(Unscathed and cold)

Feeding the fire
Reaching for the smoke ascending
Losing time
Waking in the cold

Hold still the flaming child
Feeding on this pain of mine
Cradled by ashen hands
Risen from the grave

(Feeding the fire)
(Unscathed and cold)
(Feeding the fire)
(Unscathed and cold)

Feeding the fire
Reaching for the smoke ascending
Losing time
Waking in the cold

Unscathed and cold
Tearing for love

Feeding the fire
Reaching for the smoke ascending
Losing time
Waking in the cold

(Feeding the fire)
(Reaching for the smoke ascending)
Losing time
(Waking in the cold)

Save me before it
Takes my love
Save me before it
Take my love

06. Hang

Breathe silently or
Make the ghostly voice surrender
Stride carefully or
Let the forest bleed forever

I shall pick the tallest tree
Strong and sturdy just for me
Ask it if I may end my days
Clambering its graceful frame

Rising up high
A scenic beauty unfolds
Only the wind scouting
These grounds makes a sound

Breathe silently or
Make the voices die forever
Strive carefully or
Let the forest people shelter
Live violently or
Make it all be for the better
Hide stealthily or
Let me peacefully surrender

And once I tied and formed a sling
I saw a bird that had a broken wing
The bird was tired, could barely sing
Is this pain all that my life can bring?
And all it took was a piece of string
Around a stick to mend the broken wing
Through the forest now its voice could ring
Bow for this tree now has a brand new king

And all the while I hung
From the oak's eldest son
Dangling in the breeze
As the mother of the broken

07. Sleep

If it was that easy
I'd fall asleep and not wake
Sweet and bitter substance
Unconscious but alive

Shining like a diamond
Solemn and alone
Feed to me the silence
Peacefully at home

Now the moon has gone to sleep
Stars have tucked him in
Only I now lie awake
Numb and barely there

08. Insomnia

One, two, three, forever
I will not sleep, never
Five, six, seven, hate, lover
I will wait forever

(Forever)
(You and the void)

Close to freedom now
Douse me with sound

You are what's constant
Everflowing
You are the water
To my fire

And I will not sleep until you hold me
For I cannot dream anymore
Of you and your absence, so haunting
I won't sleep, I won't dream anymore

One, two, three, forsaken
Insanity awakens
Five, six, seven, fate shaken
Sanity forsaken

Close to freedom now
Douse me with sound

You are what's constant
Everflowing
You are the water
To my fire

And I will not sleep until you hold me
For I cannot dream anymore
Of you and your absence, so haunting
I won't sleep, I won't dream anymore

You are the water to my fire
You are the answer in search of the void

Void
Let your kingdom call my name
Death
Can you see me searching for you?

And I will not sleep until you hold me
For I cannot dream anymore
Of you and your absence, so haunting
I won't sleep, I won't dream anymore

09. Freeze

Am I dead? Am I dead?
Not yet, not yet
Am I dead? Am I dead?
Not yet, not yet

I'm not dead yet, so cold, filled with regret
In my head: only you
I see red, I haste in urge to forget
Everything in my head for you

And your breath
Now freeze me to death

This transcendental eminence
Is it all in my head for you?
This fundamental resonance
How it rings, how it's calling for you

You, I wanna forget
You, I wanna forget
You, I wanna forget
You, I wanna forget

I ascend these heights in search of an end
In my head: only you
As I roam this cave in search of a friend
Of whom I can inquire for you

And your breath
Now freeze me to death

This transcendental eminence
Is it all in my head for you
This fundamental resonance
How it rings, how it's calling for you

You, I wanna forget
You, I wanna forget
You, I wanna forget
You, I wanna forget

You, I wanna forget
You, I wanna forget
You, I wanna forget
You, I wanna forget
You, I wanna forget
You

This transcendental eminence
Is it all in my head for you?
This fundamental resonance
How it rings, how it's calling for you

You, I wanna forget
You, I wanna forget
You, I wanna forget
You, I wanna forget

Am I dead?
Not yet, not yet
Am I dead? Am I dead?
Not yet, not yet

10. Fall

Falling through the clouds
Blankets of fog
Don't catch me when I fall
(Fall) through the clouds
Blankets of fog
Don't catch me when I fall

Are we all too heavy for the world?
Are we all weighing it down?
Are we all bound just to fall?
Don't we all just see the void?

11. Drown

Safe from harm
I'm swaying back and forth
Cradling me
The arms of halcyon seas

And it feels like I'm stranded
And I feel so lost

How would it feel
Down under the waves?
Smothering air
I've breathed, so alive

Drowning
Drowning
Drowning

Stuck in time
A new beginning awaits
I can help you to find
Your course in the dark

Do you feel the corrosion?
Do you feel lost at sea?

Following the moonlight
Glistening deep blue
I've been here before
And I will bring you home
So long

How would it feel
Down under the waves?
Smothering air
I've breathed, so alive

Drowning
Drowning
Drowning

I've never felt so blue
I've never felt so blue
I've never felt so blue
I've never felt so blue

Do you feel the corrosion?
Do you feel lost at sea?

Following the moonlight
Glistening deep blue
I've been here before
And I will bring you
I will bring you home

Drowning
Drowning
Drowning
Breathing incessantly
Drowning
In deepest waters
Drowning
Baptized so forcibly
Drowning
To never wither
I'm alive

Why am I alive?
How would it feel
To fade away?
Smothering air
I've breathed, so alive

12. Love Pt. II

After dusk once light had faded
I cut my throat, let it bleed out
And underneath the starlit sky
I crumbled and I plead

Please let me go, please let me go
Please let me go before it dawns
Please let me go, please let me go
Please let me go before it dawns

Once the night had fully blossomed
Sonnet luminosity
I was moved and startled
As the stars answered to me

You'll never go, you'll never go
You will be whole once the sun is up
You'll never go, you'll never go
You will be whole once the sun is up

I let go
I let go
I let go
I let go
Of you
Of you
Of you
Of you

Say no
Restraining the darkness like a halo
Treasuring the lightness of a new love
Neglecting the sadness once so hollow

As the darkness had eased its reigns
A light was born out of the void
Creeping up a newfound love
Of things surrounding me

I don't want to go, I don't want to go
I don't want to go anymore
I don't want to go, I don't want to go
I don't want to go anymore

I let go
I let go
I let go
I let go
Of you
Of you
Of you
Of you

Say no
Restraining the darkness like a halo
Treasuring the lightness of a new love
Neglecting the sadness once so hollow

I was blind but now I see
It wasn't love, I was asleep
And everything I need
Is right in front of me

Say no
Restraining the darkness like a halo
Treasuring the lightness of a new love
Neglecting the sadness once so hollow

Say no
Restraining the darkness like a halo
Treasuring the lightness of a new love
Neglecting the sadness once so hollow

13. Death Pt. II

I killed the sun for you
More than ever
I heard your suffering
Granting you the silence
All for you

I'm no dream, I'm here
I reversed the spell to love you evermore
So far away
But I was always with you
I was always with you
From roots to moons
I'm inevitable for you and everyone
From roots to moons
I am inevitable
So inevitable

It's not in your head
This is your deathbed
It's not in your head
This is your deathbed
It's not in your head
This is your deathbed

Now it's time for you to sleep
Forever in my arms
Stars, they do not twinkle here
As there's no need for light

(Falling)
(Falling)

I saved you
Before it was too late, my love
I saved you
Before it was too late, oh, my love
