Phoenix

Heliopolis in flames alight, a flickering and rebirth Enlightened night overthrown by a place of shame The scorched sky converts night You wish for light to call Face to face with the madness The call of fate to save us all Daily horror that brings you sadness When smoke arises from the planes With a loud, triumphant sigh I always bleed, I always heal I live to die anew, it breaks me, it burns me… All around us is just decay There's no means to wash the pain away You will turn your head and say I always only cared about me Heliopolis in flames alight, a flickering and rebirth Enlightened night overthrown by a place of shame The scorched sky converts night You wish for light to call Face to face with the madness The call of fate to save us all Daily horror that brings you sadness When the darkest tempest roars Passes by with quiet wings Landscapes swiftly burn away And fall apart to dust All around us is just decay There's no means to wash the pain away You will turn your head and say I always only cared about me Heliopolis in flames alight, a flickering and rebirth Enlightened night overthrown by a place of shame The scorched sky converts night You wish for light to call Face to face with the madness The call of fate to save us all Daily horror that brings you sadness The memories, the pictures, the melodies, the wars Everything I was, everything I earned Grasped in my claws All around us is just decay There's no means to wash the pain away You will turn your head and say I just cared about – me No more years of waiting The final days, the conflagration Feathers falling from my wings now – Here comes sunset Heliopolis in flames alight, a flickering and rebirth Enlightened night overthrown by a place of shame The scorched sky converts night You wish for light to call Face to face with the madness The call of fate to save us all Daily horror that brings you sadness

Cry with my tears, crawl against the floor This body of clay may need no more He gives you hope, he shows his care Or is your patience a form of despair? For a moment I feel embraced Now that I'm unbound My eyes have lost their grace I scream a demonic sound Shed all your tears, my friend, Come release them all We have flooded heavens, Hear their desperate call While death becomes angels, death becomes real All of God's work, you know, it's Devil's deal Will you be… lost struggling in vain? Within the fields of sorrow, I pass to the other side Facing my deepest hollow, Which mirrors my dark light Cry with my tears, my dear, The waters are coming down Call my name, aloud, But before you drown Cause God and Satan, you know They reach out their hand So they are reconciled within me, my friend Shed all your tears, my dear, All these words as such Cause in this world of lies, all your words Don't mean much Or will I come once more to rescue you again? Within the fields of sorrow, I pass to the other side Facing my deepest hollow, Which mirrors my dark light Shed all your tears, give me your hand Look into my eyes, make your final stand Where ever you will go, hence, go without regret Within the fields of sorrow, I pass to the other side Facing my deepest hollow, Which mirrors my dark light Shed all your tears, (and give) Give me your hand Look into my eyes, (and make) Make your final stand It's been so long, I hope you don't forget Where ever you will go, hence, go without regret

You drown in stagnation, in a world of frustration Your chance for salvation is to weave a cell of fears This stainless collection of countless imperfection A mild satisfaction, a sea of rotten tears This serpentine throne suits you well A place to reign the deepest hell Faded memories, they crawl across the years Reveal your hidden fears A short hesitation on your way to desperation You'll fell the aggravation before decline begins I gaze into a darkened well With madness that erodes my shell Decay's burning bleakly in my eyes No way to save our wasted lives Death in your soul dear It's in your dreams It's always near Death in your soul dear It is near What I was meant to be, what I was born to be What will set me free, I was too blind to see Too blind to realize Too blind to turn the tides Too blind to see your lies I was too blind to see This serpentine throne suits me well A place where vilest worms do dwell Faded memories They crawl across the years Enraged by all your fears Death in your soul dear It's in your dreams, it's always near Death in your soul dear It is near, it is near It's in your dreams, it's always near… Death in your soul dear It is near, death is near Oh, how dare you come into my lair Here in this void, this sanctum Reigns despair… …and somberly it sleeps It winds, it slowly creeps The end is near… The end is near The end is near Take a look around – this evil lurks behind you Two thousand years of lies And arrogance that blinds you Nightmares crawl, the serpent in your eye The road of Cain winds on until you die Death in your soul dear It's in your dreams It's always near… Death in your soul dear It is here, it's in your dreams It's always near Death in your soul dear The end is… here.

Peering into darkness without prospect, The future to be left in despair A presage horn of plenty filled with plague and famine Unbroken mind case dramatic ground zero From a distant dream to be seen, Surely undreamt yet unbelieved Seem to be, with me, in severe insanity Forever there, forever deceived No disguise of fevered innocence A lovers fear in mourning, epiphany Another life, another time Dream of stars but proclaim fire As flames meet earth, I throw you down To watch your flesh blister and char I anoint you, dress you in white Attempt to allay those fever dreams These pitiful dreamers… Witnessed the reconstruction of fallen stars. Your life is doomed, a misplaced soul you are Your thoughts are sparkles in despair Fighting the cold, inconsiderate emotions Confusing future threatening ahead Deep down the abyss of my crystalline soul Into the valley of sore thoughts Like that insignificant refuge of lies That make you shiver, that make you cry No disguise of fevered innocence A lovers fear in mourning, epiphany Another life, another time Dream of stars but proclaim fire As flames meet earth, I throw you down To watch your flesh blister and char I anoint you, dress you in white Attempt to allay those fever dreams These pitiful dreamers… Witnessed the reconstruction of fallen stars. Edacious burning, destroying, turning What was living to death Walking, stalking, going, gone Edacious burning, destroying, turning What was living to death Walking, stalking, going, gone Another life, another time Dream of stars but proclaim fire As flames meet earth, I throw you down To watch your flesh blister and char I anoint you, dress you in white Attempt to allay those fever dreams These pitiful dreamers… Witnessed the reconstruction of fallen stars. I anoint you, dress you in white Attempt to allay those fever dreams These pitiful dreamers… Witnessed the reconstruction Of fallen stars.

Way down to heaven Your needless resource It's a forecast of cruelty and dismay Cast into mirrors An ambush on its course You are blemish, frailty, and decay Will I get at something Will I ever be complete Built by dust, born to slave away Taste an angel's lifeblood So pure and bitter sweet Build of nothing, born to decay Deep in my mind there rests the ghost Of an innocent soul Capped by darkness and dismay Out of these depths I slay so cruel and so confident Will I ever be set free Lust prevails my temper Endless rapture turns to grief A silent scream which fraudulent arises Without shelter, your wounds lead me to lambency Spouts truth above your lies Step by step, piece by piece Cut by cut, we reach the end together Deep in my mind there rests the ghost Of an innocent soul Capped by darkness and dismay Out of these depths I slay so cruel and so confident Will I ever be set free Take this cloak from me, Your offer I will not embrace A failure once for me, not to be driven into hate Will I ever be set free Will I ever be complete Will I ever be set free Will I, can I, ever be complete? Deep in my mind there rests the ghost Of an innocent soul Capped by darkness and dismay Out of these depths I slay so cruel and so confident Will I ever be set free Be set free Come set me free Set me free

You're standing numb Looking back How long already? How could you fool flee to the world Just right before the break of winter? And nothing in this world will change All just stays the same The world, a gate To a thousand deserts, silent and cold And one who's lost what you have lost Does stop at nothing, never rests You're standing pale Damned to go off on your winter-travel Just like the smoke that's always seeking Colder, chiller, higher skies And nothing in this world will change All just stays the same The world, a gate To a thousand deserts, silent and cold And one who's lost what you have lost Does stop at nothing, never rests Fly, bird, and sing your song In the way of the desert bird And hide, you fool this bleeding heart In ice and snow, in chill and scorn Save your prayers before they swoon This bitter cold that came so soon Every story has its end His future dreams forever banned Oh, my dearest Winterchild Overwhelmed by coldness, ice, and snow at night The crows are screaming And fly whirring towards town Soon it will snow Woe betide those who don't, have home And nothing in this world will change All just stays the same The world, a gate To a thousand deserts, silent and cold And one who's lost what you have lost Does stop at nothing, never rests Fly, bird, and sing your song In the way of the desert bird And hide, you fool this bleeding heart In ice and snow, in chill and scorn

Skies above the endless seas Engulf horizons till they disappear At a sign a ship shaking its masts Passes by like a fortress floating on wastelands Flocks of cranes sail to the skies Where never ending paths arise Neath the blunt and timid sun Skies above the endless seas The ship, the ocean, the days are gone Likewise, lives and youth pass by They pass away, like a lie Likewise, lives and youth pass by And die Skies full of stars above endless seas Horizons till they disappear An enormous ship shaking its masts Passes by like a floating keep Skies above the endless seas The ship, the ocean, the days are gone But till I'm not six feet underground My angels bow to my mourning sound And sing along my weeping, over and over again Likewise, lives and youth pass by They pass away, like a lie, But till I'm not six feet underground My angels, bow to my mourning sound And sing along my weeping, over and over With the passion of a newborn lover Again And then, I will look behind to the world Like those who don't have much to tell (eachother) When they can't say what they want In the shadow of these ancient walls In their silence, I lay down to rest In the same silence that swallowed the travelers Who fell asleep in time Who are now forgotten by aeons Time is the water in which we drown Time is the fire in which we burn Likewise, lives and youth pass by They pass away, like a lie Likewise, lives and youth pass by And die (and die) Time is the water in which we drown Time is the fire in which we burn

It is the mind, which creates the world about us And even though we stand side by side My eyes will never see what is beheld by yours My heart won't respond to your touch Out of the caverns of the pain Like a child from the womb, stillborn Like a ghost from the tomb I arise and unbuild it again We don't see things as they are We see them as we are And all that we see or seem to be Is but a dream within a dream I see life blurred and shallow every day by day In this world's theatre in which I stay Three death gently descends, from spheres up high Staring into my cold and humid eyes You're closing your eyes, try turning your head Away from the gloom, trying to forget But when I start to laugh, she mocks And when I cry she laughs And hardens evermore her heart But when I start to laugh, she mocks And when I cry she laughs All things come to the those who wait I say these words to make me glad But something answers, soft and sad They come but often come too late We don't see things as they are We see them as we are And all that we see or seem to be Is but a dream within a dream I see life blurred and shallow every day by day In this world's theatre in which I stay Three death gently descends, from spheres up high Staring into my cold and humid eyes You're closing your eyes, try turning your head Away from the gloom, trying to forget But something answers, soft and sad They come but often come too late Cause I am sick of this way of life As life is sick of the way we pretend But I have walked with death hand in hand And death's own hand is warmer than my own! Out of the caverns of the pain Like a child from the womb, stillborn Like a ghost from the tomb I arise and unbuild it again We don't see things as they are We see them as we are And all that we see or seem to be Is but a dream within a dream I see life blurred and shallow every day by day In this world's theatre in which I stay All things come to those who wait I say these words to make me glad But something answers, soft and sad They come but often come too late

He hears the call which destines his fall A fire burns that slowly pierces his soul And now the tide turns The blackest flame still burns Immortally he's waiting so unconcerned Before the blade penetrates his skin (Penetrates his skin) A versant cloud enwraps his body (Enwraps his body) Slowly and dreadfully (And dreadfully) A subtle cut brings liberty His path of blasphemy Atrocious angels lead his way To apathy, an apathy revealed by sway By Cain's force assigned, Ferocious demons crawl to mate Black altar wine flows to blur his fate Beyond the veil, amongst the vultures Beneath the sky, he lives his dream Inside his veins throbs mortal poison The netherworld has opened its gates (Has opened its gates) Wide and enormous, (wide and enormous) A final cut brings liberty The candles leave their set All sounds extinguish in the dark No hope and no regret Silence rules his heart No whisper sent to God Abysmal hate turns to dismissal Cold becomes hod His soul leaves in a glorious bliss He hears the call which destines his fall A fire burns that slowly pierces his soul And now the tide turns, The blackest flame still burns Immortally he's waiting so unconcerned Inside his veins the poison dries (The poison dries) The netherworld has closed its gates (Has closed its gates) Amongst the vultures (Amongst the vultures) He will make all his dreams come true (Come true)

Years of ignorance have gone Mankind destroys and rapes the earth The world withers and the end comes soon Will I, can I, ever be unbound and flawless Will I, can I, ever be so alive? Another step to peace Another memory has gone Another time we'll see the end The setting of the sun And all the shades seem now so clear Every cloud has disappeared The sun encases all the moments We wish to be seared What brings the end, what brings the time What keeps my memories alive What makes the world we're living in, A better place at a better time What brings the end, what brings the time What makes this world we're living in, A better place for a better life The years went by And the earth still falls and decays Slowly, we unfurl the storms Will we, can we, ever be tougher, Stronger than the rest Can we, ever be so alive? We've gone finally but why The wave of fortune passes by The thirteen demons burn the gates And so the earth enrages What brings the end, what brings the time What keeps my memories alive What makes the world we're living in, A better place at a better time What brings the end, what brings the time What makes this world we're living in, A better place for a better life Can't you see all the blindness in their eyes Can't you feel that the spiteful ghosts arise Don't you know I'm the sinner in disguise I sense your dirty lies What brings the end, what brings the time What keeps my memories alive What makes the world we're living in, A better place at a better time What brings the end, what brings the time What keeps my memories alive What makes this world we're living in, A better place for a better life What brings the end, what brings the end What brings the end, what brings the time What brings the end, what brings the time

Throughout the field Of unshaded grace Within the land Of the neverending sun With all the appropriate compliance I strive for the sunset For all time from now to then I can not free myself from the memory Warmth surrounding me In the darkest corner of my mind A childish joy overwhelming me While aggrieving insects Smashing rocks on them A wholeheartedly joy Aggrieving, crushing It fills me from the navel to the chaff Now, as I refuse to soar myself above others It's getting cold, deep inside of me It's been a decision of my mind, not of heart A coldness that makes me shiver Catches up to me, displaces warmth Abiding my decision I ache for the times I was free To unleash this childish joy and warmth The decision was made somehow To unleash this childish joy and warmth Without my anticipation It's a long way from home one to the other side A fucked up journey When you try to walk away from yourself From the darkest corner of your mind The decision was made somehow Without your anticipation Into the never-ending sunset The memory, a so called friend, Is always accompanying me, Torturing me by reflecting what I was I can not free myself from the memories In the land of the never-ending sun
