Black Horizon
05:06
|
|||
The darkest of nights has come to fall
The land consumed with its shadows
Storms raging across the open sea
Leaving destruction everywhere
There’s no one to guide you through now
So you must trust in your own fate
Rise
Raze
Strive
Crush
The voices of death have come to call
In search of souls to devour
You want to escape their violent claws
It’s time to fight to save yourself!
Your heart holds the answers still unfound
The compass buried deep within your soul
Arise, let your power come to light
Eternal blaze will lead your soul to glory
All darkness you’ve seen was but a test
The time to reckon has come now
There is no escape from what’s to come
No choice but look fate in the eye
Don’t try to withhold what you possess
Embrace the deepest of powers
The storms raging on within the depths
The trial you seek to overcome

Spark of Hope
04:56
|

The darkness is silent, the calm before the storm
The thunder is rumbling, the waters cold below
This curse is destructive, it weighs upon your soul
Hides under the surface, until the time has come
The sound of waves crashing will have you down on your knees
Praying for the guidance to make it through the night
You will find the sky ablaze
With the light to guide you home
Set your sails towards the sun
Let the darkness subside and free your soul
It rages behind you; the battle has begun
The lightning fills the sky with a cold, icy glow
The strong wind is howling, like voices calling for you
The storm will consume you, so you should not look back
If you close your eyes, there is darkness
Don’t you be afraid, it is part of you
Just follow the light, find your purpose
Land of fantasy, chase it endlessly

Avalon

|

I hear it softly humming
The light behind the open door
I have the strangest feeling
Like it is pulling me in
The moment I step in the light
The sight is blinding me
A whole new world is waiting
And it is full of magic!
Don’t know if what I see is real
A land full of mystery
Colourful creatures, ancient trees
All in harmony
Birds singing to a starry sky
Wolves howling in the moonlight
A kingdom far beyond my dreams
I don’t want to leave
The glimmer of the warm sun
Reflects like diamonds on the leaves
Bright flowers coming to life
As I roam through the forest
I feel enchanted, calm and free
The magic fills my soul
My heart feels like it’s floating
There’s so much to discover
Welcome, stranger, to the kingdom of plenty
Can you feel the magic in the air
What you see goes beyond reality
But it appears only to those who believe

Escape from Darkness
04:11
|
|||
I look back into the night
As the time is slowly ticking by
Will I find the way through the dark
Lost inside an evil nightmare
I can hear the gleaming from afar
The light is calling me to be my guide
I wish that I knew how to escape
The night is in my heart and it burns in me
I keep running to the sound
I can feel the darkness chasing me (catch me!)
Thoughts of hope keep me from looking back (look back…)
Is it real or will I die here
Oh, the light is calling me to be my guide
Oh, the night is in my heart and it burns in me
Poor thing, were you planning to escape
Were you fooled by hope once more
You know what is in your heart
You will never leave this place

Memories
04:08
|
|||
Now all is fading from me
I felt it slip away from me
Around me, all is quiet
It’s like I’ve never been away
I used to feel the magic
I used to feel the strong desire
To feel all of its greatness
Now all I see is black and white
I am lost between asleep and waking
And I don’t want to lose what I have found
The vivid colours of the dreams I wandered
Will go away forever, once I open my eyes
I begged the light to guide me
Like it has guided me before
Through all the storms and madness
Where has the gentle spirit gone
Is there a way of knowing
If I can go back to that place
Where I faced all my demons
And where my strength would never fade
|

The Prophecy
04:24
|
|||
The path that lies ahead seems far away
The things you left behind have clouded your mind
Is there a way to find the hope you’ve lost
A chance to make amends with all that you love
Though, it all seems set in stone
As you forged what will unfold
I will show you what your future holds
Look into my soul, I know your fate
If you find redemption may my spirit guide your way
Face my light and see your course will change
There is no set path to follow, only one you have made
Don’t look back, this is the choice you’ve made
As you search for answers it will re-determine your fate
Touch the heart of things and find your way
There is either suffering or joy you’ll find through that change
Have you forgotten what lies in the past
The storms that raged throughout the life you have lived
The hearts you’ve broken and the ones you’ve mend
It’s all an omen- it’s a glimpse of the end

Wanderer
04:14
|
|||
An icy winter paints the mountains
Like a white, magic landscape
It seems forsaken, but inviting
All untouched, undiscovered
Let the winter bring your heart to life
Mind is strong and soul purified
Wake up, run to the mountains
Your feet will follow the hidden path
Climb high, reach for the wisdom
You’ll find the meaning of all of life
The mist clears out your troubled mind
The skies show you what the future holds
Choose now: will you pass through the veil
You will be welcomed to paradise
The cold has wakened all your senses
You can feel every heartbeat
With a clear mind you feel the quiet
World below fully vanished

Golden Light
06:12
|
|||
There is a place beyond the heart of the darkness
Where all the hurt and pain is gone, and forgotten
Where skies are blue and where the sunlight is golden
Painting all that you see in beautiful colours
The flowers whisper in the soft breeze of summer
Along a pathway leading into the garden
It’s where the children play in echoes of laughter
Where time is standing still, the seasons unchanging
Open your eyes, look beyond the dark
Eden awaits, let it soothe your heart
Take in the light, put your soul to rest
Spirit of life, heal the wounds of time
Golden light, it shines upon you now
With darkness fading there is so much to live for
Just like the soil is the most fruitful with ashes
Let your heart bloom just like the flowers of Eden
The gentle breeze will calm the storms that still haunt you
Follow the path inside, along the green meadows
See all the promises fulfilled as you wander
The spirit’s waiting at the edge of the water
For you to wash away your deepest of sorrows

Sirens Call
05:04
|
|||
Can you hear them calling, their voices
Will slowly take control of your mind
Curious to see if you’ll follow
While singing their divine melody
Seek our voices as we call upon you
We are hiding in the dark of the waters below
Come to us, find us now
We are waiting for you
Let darkness take you
We’ll grant you all that you crave
You cannot resist, it’s enchanting
They promise you the life of your dreams
Sink into the waters, they’ll take you
Your tragedy is their victory

Witchcraft

The day is turning into night
The darkness taking over
Don’t venture deep into the woods
Or you’ll be lost forever
She waits, she hides there in the dark
Lures lost souls with her magic
Her evil spells are dangerous
It may cost you your freedom
Your soul belongs to me
My magic will set you free
Once I find you there is no more turning back
I will conquer in the darkness
One spell and I will have you down on your knees
You will bow beneath my power
Her whisper haunts you as you walk
You should not move much further
You know what danger lies ahead
But you seem so enchanted
The trees cast shadows on your path
Their branches coiling closer
The air is heavy with decay
It slowly blurs your vision
The thorns are grazing at your skin
Red roses foul and bloody
Their vines will pull you to your knees
When you come near her cottage
Her voice is burning you alive
And as the wind is howling
You close your eyes in silent prayer
But then she screams with laughter
Now I’ve found you there is no more turning back
I will conquer in the darkness
As you see, I now have you down on your knees
You will stay with me forever

River of Death
04:39
|
|||
All I can see is darkness
I feel the heavy air
I try to open my eyes
But they were never closed
Don’t run, we’ll never let you leave
Give in- to darkness calling you
Death wins, no matter what you do
You’re doomed, we’re coming after you
Their claws are tearing at me
I don’t know where to run
My feet are barely moving
Dark haze is blinding me
Time to spend your eternity
You’ll burn, feed us with energy
Your soul never meant to be free
You know there’s no escaping here
Find the strength to resist
Fight the darkness calling
Run as fast as you can
Or you’ll go down with them

Eternity
06:38
|
|||
Gently guided by the light
To the path that lies ahead
Leading me to journey’s end
Where I’ll find eternal rest
I can hear the silent calls
From the spirits of the past
I don’t know what is to come
Will I meet my fate
I would be free
But is it enough
There is nothing left behind
Chapters closed and stories made
Time to face the final test
Have my efforts been enough
I have carried all my sins
My mistakes and broken vows
As a burden on my back
Heavy is my soul
Down on my knees
I’m begging for mercy
Goddess of the mist
Take my soul and set me free
Let me sink towards the depths
Where I’ll find eternal peace
Memories will fade
All will slowly disappear
Once my spirit is alight
I’ll become eternity
There is nothing to be done
As my life has come to end
I can never change the past
I can only look ahead
This will be my reckoning
Final judgement of my fate
Will I find eternal bliss
Are my sins forgiven
My reflection draws me in
Staring into my own eyes
And I know this is my time
This is finally the end
Goddess guide me by your hand
Lay my memories to rest
This is where I long to be
Warm in your embrace

The Other Side
15:03
|

I. Dark Desire
Hunger, it grows in your eyes
So close, reaching for power
You feel the desire
Darkness calling out your name
It drives you to insanity
Unleash flames of destruction
Will you fight your desires
Or will they conquer your mind
What once was so pure, fading in the darkness
Eternal life to trade for your soul
No fear, your eyes are set upon the power you crave
The hunger to feel the shadows take you over the edge
Destruction awaits the souls that follow the path of desire
The fire of your damnation will be burning inside you now
You knew this was the price to pay
Your pride greater than reason
Your heart broken to pieces
A curse by your own doing
You were swayed from the path of light
Tempted to give your soul away
Trapped in the land of shadows
Which you’re never escaping from
The light faded too long ago
Your heart- shrouded in darkness
On the edge of insanity
You pray for your redemption
Defeat, you gave in to desire
Your prize burning inside you
This is what you have asked for
When you drank from the fountain
When you thought you were safe
Death was at your door
The path of greed comes with a cost
A price you cannot afford to pay
Time is ticking fast, you need to escape
Or all you love is lost
There is nothing but pain on the other side
You have made a grave mistake
II. Everlasting Love
Heal your heart and let me break the binds of darkness
Let my gift of passion save your soul from hurting
Take my love, I’ll give it all to you alone
Reach for the light and you’ll be safe from harm forever
Love, a bond that is forged in fire
Everlasting light inside you
Trust in all the power that it brings
And fight the darkness within you now
Open up, let all your sorrows fade away now
Let me in, I will forgive your sins and mistakes
Take this love, it’s given just to you my dearest
Your soul fills with light and darkness fades inside
III. Journey’s End
Your adventures, your inquest
They have now come to an end
All the dangers that you’ve faced
In this magical realm
Wandering the eventide
Stuck between the day and night
You have witnessed raging storms
Heard voices from the deep
Goddess of eternal life is waiting for you to arrive
Calling you to let her voice guide you to the promised land
Chapter closed, you reached the end so a new story can begin
Ready for one more enchanting adventure
Follow the light
It will show you your destiny
Follow the voice
Calling you to Eden
Follow the soul
That has always belonged to you
Follow the dawn
Where your journey’s ending
Captivated by your dreams
Magic lands within your reach
Everything so beautiful
You didn’t want to leave!
Stood upon the edge of earth
On bare feet you walked the path
Leading to eternal life
Where spirits come to rest
