Awakening

The pale moon is hung above Winds rage from the hill Hopes buried in secret gloom And hearts bound in fear Watch how the unrepentant seeker Finds comfort in this dreary course He knows that his fate is given to a higher source Forward never homeward On and on towards vast horizons Giving life a meaning Forming words through enlightened thoughts Till the road that he's onto leads to the dream Climbed through fog of blood red clouds All laid heads to dream And though faith has ceased to frown Their agonies scream But watch how the unrepentant dreamer Steals mist above the midnight sea And weaves a path as if no day's been, or yet will be Forward never homeward On and on towards vast horizons Giving life a meaning Forming words through enlightened thoughts Till the road that he's onto leads to the dream

Restless, breathless I've shown you paths that link Violent yet so still and silent Feelings emerge and sink Stagnant pools of emotions Against my will, all that I feel Condemned to cease Under the horrid veil you're wearing I know that penetrating gaze And the scar right within your heart Ageless, shapeless Ways of a broadened scope Pensive and so apprehensive Once quite refined with hope Stagnant pools of emotions Against my will, all that I feel Condemned to cease Under the horrid veil you're wearing I know the penetrating gaze And the scar right within your heart Through a different eyes Through a different aspect You keep the fight against a truth So overt, you can only accept

Tasted times of bitter sorrow Years of never-wearying love Dark paths and lucent streams By the dawn of new tomorrow We'll be found in worlds apart Venture out to live our dreams Each day is a hall of choices Countless doors in a corridor Just let your inner voices Tell you what you're looking for March on even up against the wind's blow Keep your eyes straight ahead till joyful tears glow To the past don't you ever let dreams send you Days cannot be re-spent but can re-spend you Let the flames grow Tasted times of inspiration Felt the power of love's might Fairly shared pleasure and pain If it's any consolation You have been a leading light Felt no promise made in vain And as is a play, so life is We'll aim for the leading role No granted happy ending When the curtain sadly falls March on even up against the wind's blow Keep your eyes straight ahead till joyful tears glow To the past don't you ever let dreams send you Days cannot be re-spent but can re-spend you But as it's said, it's so much darker when a light is gone Than it would have been if it just had never shone

Power, belief and will Virtues of humanity Abundant and scarce Holy, godlike, divine Borders of insanity A blessing and a curse Despite their genuine devotion Faith appears to save no one Even though we all know that Our time is running out Some of us still believe God loves us all Though his doomsday's upon us Horror, tremor, dismay Victims of normality Blind hope and despair Feel me, hear me, believe Reawakened vanity So common yet so rare Lost in bitter-sweet emotions Apathy infects us all Even though we all know That our time is running out Some of us still believe God loves us all Though his doomsday's upon us Faith's the ultimate fallacy It's the substance of things hoped for The conviction of things hoped for The conviction of things not seen

Sometimes it's not me, it's just a vague fear And a bleeding doubt that haunts me It takes me over, gets me all out of control That's when I give it all And still I face the wall of your defenses Sometimes I'm willing, to drift and wander In the shadow of this feeling Right out of balance, like a kite without a tail If it could only avail When all attempts do fail to break the fences But all my hopes are trains On condemnation's rails Steaming through the pain I only seem to feign but never heal Tried so hard in vain Failed time and time again but now I feel This is the final call It won't be easy to start a new life Burying past times, burning bridges Against the icy winds of sorrow and dismay It won't be easy but this is the only way I have to deal with this Now all my hopes are trains On condemnation's rails Steaming through the pain I only seem to feign but never heal Tried so hard in vain Failed time and time again but now I feel This is the final call

A chance to fly with broken wings Deceiving dark illusion Innocence is no excuse When you ride the wind Victimized by chaste desires Endless wasted years Things will never change; you always knew With scars under your skin Realize this wave has run its course And draws you back in the deep Evil in her eyes Raging seas of lies Breath in, scents of sin Icy poisoned wind For one more time Dungeons dark and hollow fears Fasting pure desperation Bleeding thoughts can now perceive Her cruel and vicious reign Realize this wave has run its course And draws you back in the deep Evil in her eyes Raging seas of lies Breath in, scents of sin Icy poisoned wind For one more time

Moments falling in a shoreless sea Bursting like a hurrying stream Feed the past that builds your fate Each success and each mistake Shaped the life you live in Time won't care if life was ever fair Won't stare deep into your soul And though time mends your heart for sure Don't you ever get fooled! Time will kill you, will empty and fill you Will make you rise just to make you fall Life is changing, your needs are blazing You've got to face what you fear the most Time is the enemy So, how did it get so late so soon? Can it really heal the wound? Did you get your thoughts aligned? 'cause time really won't unwind Neither rest a minute Time won't care if lie was ever fair Won't stare deep into your soul And though time mends your heart for sure Don't you ever get fooled! Time will kill you, will empty and fill you Will make you rise just to make you fall Life is changing, your needs are blazing You've got to face what you fear the most Time is the enemy

You're gone, but I know One gloomy day fate will bind us Just like the rain binds with the sea When storm wakes on skies of grey Apart, out of these years I can recall only moments The ones that took our breath away are carved On my soul's brightest page as memories Still breathing Thoughts ranging near you Hopes almost hear you Within the sound of rain Senses will hold you Eyes will recall you Until I come your way I'll leave; a hunted victim Of my own vain pretences For all I am is trapped inside like a need Suffering over my own lurking dread Screaming (Empty Nothing can change me Hollow) Thoughts ranging near you Hopes almost hear you Within the sound of rain Senses will hold you Eyes will recall you Until I come your way

Living grants bitter days But we've got to keep on moving Reason fades and doubts decay Hope can always do the soothing Strong will is setting the stage Aging grants lessons plain Be the hammer or the nail As the past fades into black What is gone is never coming back Restlessness burns in the eyes Of those who seize the day Time, time; this is the time To unleash your dark desire Stay blind to omens and signs Baptized in blood and fire Unleash the fury Mourning grants hollow tears Dying wishes left unspoken Free your mind from shallow fears Keep your promises unbroken Restlessness burns in the eyes Of those who seize the day Where there's a will There is always a way Time, time; this is the time To unleash your dark desire Stay blind to omens and signs Baptized in blood and fire

I used to have a vision, a tiny dream to dwell Soft inner guiding voices, I used to hear them well Since black fate came upon me, my thoughts are blind Each dawn I get a bit more far from the light Now I'm only yearning for a tiny shade of hope Forlorn and forsaken, battling with the loss Reason questions my undying aspirations No allies beside me, all my friends are ghosts Even my will to survive in this wrongful world I used to have ambition, I was so versatile My life had so many choices; at least for a while These days my thoughts are empty, all gone awry Just like the rest of me, my heart is dying... Now I'm only yearning for a tiny shade of hope Forlorn and forsaken, battling with the loss Reason questions my undying aspirations No allies beside me, all my friends are ghosts Even my will to survive in this wrongful world Fate's kiss right on my skin A game I cannot win No time's left on my hand Hopes fail time and again Life twists, turns to a lie All lights darken and die Forlorn and forsaken, battling with the loss Reason questions my undying aspirations No allies beside me, all my friends are ghosts Even my will to survive in this wrongful world

In search of perfection A journey that won't seem to end Lords of the keep, twisting shadows unseen Hold my destiny into their hands My fateful wish breathes under translucent thoughts in agony Will fills my veins and awaits deep within me Lost feelings take over my mind's control Innocent and pure, as if I've been reborn Haunted by dreams in the dark, scarlet flames so bright I know there is no one to wipe out the fears when the morning comes Those countless moments that sunk to the past and ceased Left me enriched with what's survived as memories Road of misfortune A pathway with infinite steps Beaconing eyes, speaking words, forming lies While my ambition silently wept My fateful wish sneaks in as the ultimate hope wakes so strong Senses unleashed, starving needs undiscovered Mark the path of salvation and cleanse my soul As if I've been reborn Haunted by dreams in the dark, scarlet flames so bright I know there is no one to wipe out the fears when the morning comes Those countless moments that sunk to the past and ceased Left me enriched with what's survived as memories

Your name's on the scars I wear Your blame's on the trail I follow I'm back on my feet again But nothing can end all sorrow Beyond grey oblivion skies I'll reach for my deepest yearning Among fears and vicious lies Desire's a fire burning Like a voice that wakes you from a dream I can hear howling winds and echoes of a scream I won't sit and rust, I'd rather crush and burn I'd rather spin and turn in this timeless dyne Till your frigid eyes abandon their fantasies Recall cherished memories, interpret the signs Till your soul awakens from the dream A storm echoes from afar I cannot get back what's given As dawn lugs the morning star My soul aims the vault of heaven I know that each time I fail There's something inside me churning But each time my will prevails Desire will keep on burning Like a voice that wakes you from a dream I can hear howling winds and echoes of a scream I won't sit and rust, I'd rather crush and burn I'd rather spin and turn in this timeless dyne Till your frigid eyes abandon their fantasies Recall cherished memories, interpret the signs Till your soul awakens from the dream Till the awakening, the awakening... I won't sit and rust, I'd rather crush and burn I'd rather spin and turn in this timeless dyne Till your frigid eyes abandon their fantasies Recall cherished memories, interpret the signs Till your soul awakens from the dream Until your weary soul awakens from the dream
