Elegy 04:33
lyrics
Sleepless nights and restless days They all keep haunting me Faces I’ve never seen Ghosts of the world’s pain Calling to me Begging to be avenged Tell me where I should go, what I should see Tell me, is there something I can do? Show me how I can help you find peace again Free your souls, and let you go Wondering in my madness Why have you chosen me? If I did have the power I would have freed you Why do you keep Calling to me Begging to be avenged? Tell me where I should go, what I should hear Tell me, is there something I can do? Show me how I can help you find peace and rest Free your souls, and see you go Tell me now I don’t think that I can stand this anymore Please leave me alone I have heard and felt all of your pleas I will remember, honor your souls You must save us Help us be remembered Find our rest, do set us free

Safe Haven 05:44
lyrics
Lost in time The one I used to be Falling in a slumber of illusions Everlasting trance To cope with the reality And before I knew it I was no longer free Where have my dreams gone? All my hopes were taken For the sake of a new life I have been awakened Show me the light Guide me to a safe haven Just in time I’m faced with destiny Pondering all possible solutions I can’t miss a chance To flee from this reality I keep searching for A path that sets me free Where have my dreams gone? All my hopes were taken For the sake of a new life I have been awakened Send me a sign Help me find peace at last Guide me… Safe haven Where have my dreams gone? All my hopes were taken For the sake of a new life I have been awakened

Marble Ruins 05:35
lyrics
Omnis cum in tenebris praesertim vita laboret Long time ago, a marble city Elegant golden halls and fountains Flaunting boundless prosperity Land of opportunities and abundance Greed of men Would soon drain all the light Bring the city to its demise The lowest vices of men would surface Destroying the future for their own kind One by one would flee leaving their homes behind Years would pass for the wandering migrants Life would make them forget their broken land Buried in time, will they ever come back? Greed of men Drained all the light Brought the city to its demise The lowest vices of men surfaced Destroyed the future for their own kind Ages passed by for the lost land Nature swallowed the old ruins Ivies creeping around tall towers Embracing what was left Of a declined civilization Gone forever from history

Find The Forest 03:33
lyrics
Tricked by shadows You took the wrong turn That led you to a deep abyss Find the forest Guarding figments Of your pure imagination Put the pieces Back together And the doors will open again In the moonlight You can find them They will always follow you… Tantum viam inveniam tunc oriimur ex tenebris

Final Plea 04:15
lyrics
Yes, this is our time Our turn to rule No one can stop us Like never before We control all Who could deny it? No, it’s not your world alone Look around, you’ll see Climb mountains, cross valleys, oceans That’s where they belong When will you learn to respect Others who live on this Earth? There’s no time to see No time to feel Just run to survive Live racing against Everyone else Or be left behind We take all that we can While there’s still time And no one’s watching Our end’s catching up We’ll just play dumb Though there’s no place to hide
7.
The Dark Side 04:40
lyrics
Have you been defending The greatest of our troubles? The cheating, the faking The dark side of our raze Hurting the ones who care Will only lead you to decay Why don’t you wake up and see What you could lose forever? Have you seen in a mirror The weakest of your faces? The child that hides Afraid to be vulnerable Hurting the ones who care Will only lead you to decay Why don’t you wake up and see What you could lose forever?

Tempest 04:25
lyrics
Leaving the shelter of the valley far behind We now approach the greatest battle of our lives Never show weakness or regret Conquering every threat We cannot escape our fate Unwavering, moving forth We can never give up Among the shadows of the mountains we pass through Silently facing the tempest, we endure Never show weakness or regret Conquering every threat We can’t escape our fate Never faltering There is no retreat Whatever our fears be They shall be concealed Waving no flag, strange warriors without a land We’ve faced all demons but we still stand Weapons unseen, our banners are woven dreams We shall keep on fighting for a place to live Never show weakness or regret Conquering every threat We can’t escape our fate Never faltering There is no retreat Whatever our fears be They shall be concealed Never show weakness or regret Conquering every threat We cannot escape our fate

Respite 05:32
lyrics
Look how far we have come All our victories far from home It is no small feat at all Let us pause and be grateful Feel the wind on your face Listen to the song the leaves sing The forest’s speaking to us And invites us to its shades See the colors all around The art nature creates Silence your restless mind And sit here for a while Feel the wind on your face Listen to the song the trees sing The forest’s speaking to us And invites us to rest Nature does not hurry Look how the seasons flow and change So we must learn to live To treasure each moment

Our Reprieve 05:54
lyrics
So, the time has come To leave behind obscurity And to rise towards a new dawn A closure to this quest, our reprieve Travels that cease Goddess, let us breathe We have given our best Now we plead for rest Thus, it’s time to stay No more to be led astray We give in to fortuity Lead us, Universe, let us soar Open new doors No more remorse We have traced our course Sharp peaks and deep valleys At long last we found our north
