Realm of Shadows

The present slips away And darkness draws around me But my weightless sense of being Seems to float up from the shadows That body there below me I don't understand, can that be me? A light so bright, the scents so strong A thousand voices whisper I clearly hear their soothing words A million miles above me They've come to take the dark side of my soul All I know, all I fear Nobody knows my name For nobody would understand That you kill what you fear What you fear I ride the rays of light In blinding shades and colours They reach up to the sky Climbing faster ever faster A spirit of the twilight Is free at last, can you see me? A light so bright, the scents so strong A thousand voices whisper I clearly hear their soothing words A million miles above me They've come to take the dark side of my soul All I know, all I fear Nobody knows my name For nobody would understand That you kill what you fear What you fear I ride the rays of light In blinding shades and colours They reach up to the sky Climbing faster ever faster Faster...

As if adrift on soundless waves From past horizon shores The tides have turned, my compass shows I'm on collision course I rip my chest, unleash the beast That lives inside of me It spits and bites, it pulls the chain Screaming to be free Deep inside of me Where to find the secret door To turn back time and live the life Like I've always lived before Ever since this mark appeared This ever-growing stain The darkest thoughts of ages past Are invading my brain Where is the real me? My head is filled with lies My consciousness it twists and turns Like the rolling of a dice Where is the real me? It takes me by surprise Showing the unexpected face Of a devil in disguise In disguise, a devil in disguise In disguise, a devil in disguise My heart is pounding like a drum It beats to unknown chants An instrument of hidden souls Played by unknown hands The sound bleeds into frozen air It spreads like oil at sea Rippling out across my cloak Of dark antagony Deep inside of me Where to find the secret door To turn back time and live the life Like I've always lived before Ever since this mark appeared This ever-growing stain The darkest thoughts of ages past Are invading my brain Where is the real me? My head is filled with lies My consciousness it twists and turns Like the rolling of a dice Where is the real me? It takes me by surprise Showing the unexpected face Of a devil in disguise Where is the real me? My head is filled with lies My consciousness it twists and turns Like the rolling of a dice Where is the real me? It takes me by surprise Showing the unexpected face Of a devil in disguise Who will drive away the pain Who controls the sun and rain In disguise, a devil in disguise In disguise, a devil in disguise

Like the first ray of light of a new dawn You entered my life Turned the world upside down A shadow, a ghost from a past life Suddenly with a face and a name and a love Oooh Louise - From this day on my world revolves around you Oooh Louise - The skies are clear, the birds will sing The trees whisper your name No lines in the lores of the prophets No star marks the day of your birth How strange is the bond between our two minds If I were a woman, we'd be two of a kind Noticed your face in a crowd - no sound - The world stopped in its place My eyes caught your eyes in the mirror of time Only to find myself locked inside your gaze Oooh Louise - My nights last longer when I dream about you Oooh Louise - My love you are a shooting star that lights the sky Noticed your face in a crowd - no sound - The world stopped in its place My eyes caught your eyes in the mirror of time Only to find myself locked inside your gaze

Like a bolt of lightning Racing across the sky, casting its light On things that laid so long concealed for mortal eyes It all comes back to me now The souls dwelling in darkness My function in the chain of history I have a name This mind belongs to me now You chased away the remnants of the soul That owned this body when I placed the fatal mark We're two souls lost in darkness Facing all the violence of the world That looks upon us with its god forsaken eyes And now they're at my doorstep The fire of their torches cast a red glow on the walls Breaking down the windows With hatred in their eyes And the curtains burn Smoke rushes across the ceiling So take my hand and run now You may remember how we ran so many times before From the marching crowds of madness From the pounding killing floor From the curse in me From the distant cries of terror

I can see with my newborn eyes When the smoke in my mirror subsides Here I stand, watching my true face Like a scene from a memory... As a bearer of the dreaded mark Shrouded by an aura of death My mind and vision cleared of fear My voice of darkness whispers From the realm of the shadows of time I've come looking for the light As the stone cold master of fate A dreaded creature of the night No one will hear The hollow echoes of the past No one will fear The souls of all those who were lost My love showed me the way out of the maze In a flash, washed the scales from my eyes Took my hand, and revealed herself A mark like mine, only stronger As we ran from the fire and the cries From the hatred hunting us down The cloud of doubt lifted from my soul This was fate, we had been there Thunderclouds sweep across the black sky Distant fires burning bright With my sister soul at my side We will live through every night No one will see Secrets that lie within our grasp Oh how I feel Redemption that will come at last From the realm of the shadows of time I've come looking for the light As the stone cold master of fate A dreaded creature of the night No one will hear The hollow echoes of the past No one will fear The souls of all those who were lost

Stepping from the shadows Of the world that I just lost I kissed your lips a last time And cried tears of blood Now that love has left me The will of fate is done I'll be the last man standing The hour of truth has come A million lives I've lived a million lives Wandering through the darkness blinded by a veil of lies A million lives I've lived a million lives But once I will unlock the door where revelation hides Heed me curse of evil You know I'm drawing near You may not recognise me As the bearer of the key When I enter your temple Cast down my hooded cloak You'll know I have come To liberate the dark souls A million lives I've lived a million lives Wandering through the darkness blinded by a veil of lies A million lives I've lived a million lives But once I will unlock the door where revelation hides And in your final hours When I held your hand in mine I had to face the night alone When you said I had to let you go I - I will find my way When I will wake to see the light of day When I watched how life was parting from your eyes I noticed that your mark had gone And filled instead the gaps in mine This time I will find my way When part of you lives on through me A million lives I've lived a million lives The clouds obscure the skies again when the love inside me dies A million lives I've lived a million lives Lords of mercy please accept my dearest sacrifice A million lives I've lived a million lives Wandering through the darkness blinded by a veil of lies A million lives I've lived a million lives But once I will unlock the door where revelation hides

Fool... Do you think you can unravel the mystery of the curse so easily? No... The complexity of the curse is infinitely deeper than the thoughts of your pathetic earthly mind... Return to the labyrinth and suffer the fate of the Dark Souls who will pay for my suffering until the score is evened. Your cycle is complete... The end is near... The end is near I failed again, to break this endless cycle. The shadows, in my soul have conquered me. The time has come To realize, the quest that I was on Was doomed, no smile could shed a light. Overwhelming, realizing the strength when two could be as one. Chasing the sunlight, for a moment in time, It seemed like the battle was won. Riding the waves of emotions and pain, Fed from a whirlpool of tears. Wading through soreness, the glow fades away, The unbearable weight of all those years. Searching for answers, freedom awaits, The price seemed not too high. Turning away, my senses self-contained: Truth became a bitter lie. Riding the waves of emotions and pain, Fed from a whirlpool of tears. Wading through soreness, the glow fades away, The unbearable weight of all those years. Failing, to escape my fate, on threshold of the final gate. Surrender the one that I could trust, in an act full of disgust. Falling, I will find my way, when ‘being’ ends here today. Break down the prison that we share, we will meet again sometime, somewhere… The curse will play Its game again, another phase will come. The sign of doom, etched upon my skin. Relief me now, The dream is over, let it end right here. The darkness, a frozen world awaits. Awaits...
