Artifex

"In an age of crystalline wonders Destiny sundered the paths of two siblings Eirene, and Lork Intertwined in hardened spirit, yet divided by fate Lork, darkened within Committed patricide and joined the Rejects Corrupted aeons exiled in the forsaken realms Eirene awakened to a resplendent inner-light And guided by their sage grandfather Serafin Sought to craft an ethereal weapon Her journey was destined to unveil the enigma Of the aeons existence A quest that danced on the delicate edge Between the brilliance of luminance And the depths of the abyss"

So it is true, I am the chosen one A single tear gave me away I know I'm strong, I know I'm just, still I don't understand Why this calling was trusted in me Shall I engrave? How shall I cut this blade? Saving the world comes with no clue Oh crystal please, show me the way, help me to understand Use my pain and my love for your plan And like a fire when it starts Inspiration does shine The mundane gives way to the divine I feel it flow through my veins In this mystic delight Where the force of crеation takes flight Beating the hammеr on the anvil We forge and live our wisdom For the glory of our soul For the honor of the crystal sword Shaping the fate of Aeons We rise and live forever (together) I will brandish the holy sword Matter transformed crafted by Aeons' light All of their hands working through mine My task is done, I feel relieved, now I do understand I'm the vessel of true deity And like a fire now it starts Art and genius entwine The White Stars have unlocked the divine I feel it flow through my veins In this mystic delight Where the force of creation takes flight Beating the hammer on the anvil We forge and live our wisdom For the glory of our soul For the honor of the crystal sword Shaping the fate of Aeons We rise and live forever (together) I will brandish the holy sword Ardor of creation Inebriating force I devote my hand to your luster Ardor of creation Allow me to become a faithful Instrument of your glorious power Beating the hammer on the anvil We forge and live our wisdom For the glory of our soul For the honor of the crystal sword Shaping the fate of Aeons We rise and live forever I will brandish the holy sword

What did they whisper into your soul? Was it demeaning? Was it cold? Did they persuade you they're in control? Did you believe them, did you fold? Voices of darkness will get under your skin pressing their fingers on your fears silently lurking their evil rites begin twisting the truth while no one hears Words that cut, and heads that fall, Call for fire... Burn! Burn down the lies, these sins in disguise Prepare for the fight! We're the Ministers of Light The guilt they've instilled in the depths of your heart Doesn't need any thought, you can let it all go Defiant and fierce let the blameless right the wrong Looking for answers, we may have made mistakes, there are no thorns on our stem They deem us misfits, they hope our spirit breaks, but the forsaken ones are them Words that cut, and heads that fall, Lost desires, drenched in the rain. Wounds that bleed, and tears that stall, Who will shield your blaze from the bane? Call for fire Call for fire, Call for fire, Call for... Burn! Burn down the lies, these sins in disguise Prepare for the fight! We're the Ministers of Light The guilt they've instilled in the depths of your heart Doesn't need any thought, you can let it all go Defiant and fierce let the blameless right the wrong

In the decline of affection There's the intimate reflection Of the ruthless imperfection Of this brotherly connection Opposites' attraction Can't you see our portion belongs to us He's not here, he led us to this moment of truth We can't help it, we're two sides of fate It's our fault, there's feelings we can't hide anymore In front of each other but so far apart I feel this proximity that shreds me in two In the way I'm drawn to you In the way I'm pulled from you Malaurеum

We're close, where the end crawls, where the end crawls, where the end crawls, where the end crawls, where the end crawls, where the end crawls, where the end crawls The two sides cross swords Underneath the blood red sky, As tension rises high, soldiers ignited by stellar beams, march to summon forth their violent dreams. Drums resound, Lork dons his shield and scans the shadowed field seeking his foe, Eirene, sword in grasp, Their eyes meet with an unspoken clasp. Here comes the showdown, hymns of destruction incite with fury the ride into battle The medallions on their chest, twin symbols of their quest Into the heat they merge, morph and shine, A true testament of sign divine. As Malaureum's force compels, the crystal sword excels each kill now captures the fallen's soul, as it reaps the grim war's dire toll. Here comes the showdown, hymns of destruction incite with fury the ride into battle Can't you hear me play this soulbound symphony? every swing is like a saving note soaring free hear the chords progress, a waltz of jubilee my baton's a crystal crafting pure harmony No longer a weapon an urn full of pain the keeper of memories of spirits it chains with every soul imbibed the white crystal sword is slowly turning black Eaons of darkness tethered to the sword this is your prison finely forged by light Can't you hear me play this soulbound symphony? every swing is like a saving note soaring free hear the chords progress, a waltz of jubilee my baton's a crystal crafting pure harmony No longer a weapon an urn full of pain the keeper of memories of spirits it chains powered by souls imbibed the black sword is charged and reaching the last movement of this sonata our triumphant choir will rise

In their final hour under fate's desire Siblings summoned to duel atop the pyre In their crucial hour all their demons slay Bound by blood's oath through the dawn of decay Flashes of brilliance piercing through the sky Raising from the clash of spirits united by blood and blade A primeval imperfect connection severed by blood and blade Where all threads weave into darkness Yes, unleash your fury Clash as I have foreseen Fight until your final breaths Let chaos guide your hands Flashes of brilliance piercing through the sky Raising from the clash of spirits united by blood and blade A primeval imperfect connection severed by blood and blade Where all destiny's threads intertwine Raising the rage of the rival Wisdom come! Lork with errant step now bares an open flank So Eirene embraces the obligations of her rank Shattered by the weight of duty's heavy plight She strikes and his essence fades into the great blade's night Flashes of brilliance piercing through the sky Raising from the clash of spirits united by blood and blade A primeval imperfect connection severed by blood and blade Where all destiny's threads intertwine Taming the rage of the rival she unravels the fight! (The end crawls On the last two souls In a barren world All that's left is destruction Prospect slit By a dreadful split When the fates are done The Black crystal is calling Its last divine soul)

In a fleeting moment's haze I thought I saw your face Yearning for the warmth, the tenderness I'll have to live a life of loneliness All 'cause of you Just as I foresaw Aeons are naught but Transient custodians of crystalline charge The great reversal Will grant our wisdom A worthy reward for our sacrifice The crucial part of my plan was to plot and instigate The war between Good and evil In mystic echoes, true power burns From borrowed times now back to the source it returns To trigger thе shift This fateful struggle Had to be born of a bond most profound And from thе fusion Of these medallions Amulets sundered since the night of time The crucial part of my plan was to meld and activate The link between Light and darkness In mystic echoes, true power burns From borrowed times now back to the source it returns

My world, my family Wrecked by my own blood I feel I'm breaking Under the shadow I get it now, I trusted you You've betrayed, all I hold true Felt used, our bond abused, now all is lost You shattered my faith, left me broken and bruised It's building up, it's building up, it's building up, my wrath Is building up, beyond my command It's tearing up, it's tearing up, it's tearing up, my mind Is tearing up, I'm losing control My world, my family Wrecked by my own blood I feel I'm breaking Under the shadow I gave you my all, but you tossed it aside We could have found a way, but you chose the warpath Now perish you monster, your chest is wide open Your essence dismembers and fills my sword It's building up, it's building up, it's building up, my grief Is building up, it's drowning my soul It's tearing up, it's tearing up, it's tearing up, my heart Is tearing up, I'm losing it all My world, my family Wrecked by my own blood I feel I'm breaking Under the shadow Though I would like to stay You destroyed our world You shattered everything You exploited my trust You took forever away And led me out here with no future My world, my family Wrecked by my own blood I feel I'm breaking Under the shadow Oh, I'd like to stay under the White Stars Awaiting the warm relief of a new dawn I would welcome the day with unending elation But something far greater than me Has been placed into my hands I'll be fighting the best I can To remain in the light I'll follow your love back home Right back to the place of the heart Where there is never shadow

In this hollow wasteland Over the ruins I curse your name I know that for you there's no redemption Your soul is lost As it should be Each time that I look in the mirror of my pain Your distant reflection still remains I knew you were hurt but I failed to find a way To mend every wound that led you astray And here I am all alone Crying at your memory Drifting on the blue Of my sea of solitude All that's left of you is me All that's left of me is clarity A wisdom I have found here on my own And by the way I love you And by the way I miss you so I must not lie Although you left me in desolation I can't erase What's in my heart I'm thankful because in the chaos of your storm (Fantasy, let us ride upon your wings) A braver and stronger me was born (Let us ride, let us ride, let us ride upon your wings) I'll shoulder my fate with the teachings of this strife (Fantasy, let us ride upon your wings) I'll harness my light and shape it into life And here I am all alone Crying at your memory Drifting on the blue Of my sea of solitude All that's left of you is me All that's left of me is clarity I found it on my own In a moment life has ended In a moment I was stranded Yet I know you're here within
