Sirenia
1977
1. Deadlight
In denial, in denial
Dreams crashing down all around you
Lost in this feeling again
Here at the bitter end
Vacant eyes are blinking in the night
Stares hard right through your soul's deadlight
In a dream your life descends
Towards whatever end
That your fate has now passed down to you, my friend
In denial, in denial
Dreams crashing down all around you
Lost in this feeling again
Here at the bitter end
In denial, in denial
Dreams crashing down all around you
Lost in this feeling again
Here at the bitter end
Another tear, yet another dead end
Another year written in the sand
Right here by the fence of time
Between day and night
Is where at last my fate will come to light
In denial, in denial
Dreams crashing down all around you
Lost in this feeling again
Here at the bitter end
In denial, in denial
Dreams crashing down all around you
Lost in this feeling again
Here at the bitter end
Forgotten dreams, life feels so unreal
I'm just gazing back at all the times that used to be
In denial, in denial
Dreams crashing down all around you
Lost in this feeling again
Here at the bitter end
In denial, in denial
Dreams crashing down all around you
Lost in this feeling again
Here at the bitter end
2. Wintry Heart
In a dream a long long time ago
I came across a nameless tombstone
As I moved on, I felt so fallen
So many years now passed on
With each year, the more crestfallen
And the worst is yet to come
On a night in mid December
I gaze at the fading lights
For as long as I remember
I was at one with the night
On and on, forever and ever on
Further down the unknown path
Towards all mysteries undone
Towards the absent sun
Like a dream I lost some time ago
Like a star that long since lost its glow
Summer's gone, the snow keeps falling
Here at the winter's heart
As the dawn now looms before me
Behold the winter sun
On a night in mid December
I gaze at the fading lights
For as long as I remember
I was at one with the night
On and on, forever and ever on
Further down the unknown path
Towards all mysteries undone
Towards the absent sun
As we all cling on to the light
As we fall, we pass into the night
On a night in mid December
I gaze at the fading lights
For as long as I remember
I was at one with the night
On and on, forever and ever on
Further down the unknown path
Towards all mysteries undone
Towards the absent sun
On a night in mid December
I gaze at the fading lights
For as long as I remember
I was at one with the night
On and on, forever and ever on
Further down the unknown path
Towards all mysteries undone
Towards the absent sun
3. Nomadic
The road that lies ahead
Draws me in again
Nothing ever changed
'Cause deep within my heart
And deep within my soul
I already let you go
'Cause my spirit's in the wind
I'll never ever let you in
You can't hold me back, you can't hold me down
Can't chain my soul down to the ground
Can't break my spirit anyhow
You can't lock me up, you can't lock me in
Can't hold me down with anything
'Cause my spirit's in the wind
The wide and open road
It draws me in once more
The only way I know
Throughout all of these years
And for the countless tears
I caused you all along
'Cause my spirit's in the wind
I'll never ever let you in
You can't hold me back, you can't hold me down
Can't chain my soul down to the ground
Can't break my spirit anyhow
You can't lock me up, you can't lock me in
Can't hold me down with anything
'Cause my spirit's in the wind
The open road allures me
Embrace me, pulls me in
It sets my spirit free
I roam with the wind
You can't hold me back, you can't hold me down
Can't chain my soul down to the ground
Can't break my spirit anyhow
You can't lock me up, you can't lock me in
Can't hold me down with anything
'Cause my spirit's in the wind
4. The Setting Darkness
An unspeakable silence screams at you
There is nothing more that you can do
A million voices pierce through your mind
For that sanity you once left so far behind
As the twilight emerges within your eyes
Yet another downfall in disguise
I feel the darkness setting in
All the bridges on fire as the night aspire
To bring you to your knees
It seems like yet another broken dream
Are misleading your mind towards more decline
Unavailingly so it seems
In a moment of truth you'd lose yourself
It's been years ago since your life turned to hell
As the twilight emerges within your eyes
Yet another downfall in disguise
As the twilight emerges within your eyes
Yet another downfall in disguise
I feel the darkness setting in
All the bridges on fire as the night aspire
To bring you to your knees
It seems like yet another broken dream
Are misleading your mind towards more decline
Unavailingly so it seems
All your demons thrive and the night conspire
There's a truth behind all lies
All the voices screaming and the astral dreaming
Paralyse your mind
With a broken heart and all your broken dreams
And a long lost sanity
The day you sold your soul, the day you lost control
You lost the will to be
I feel the darkness setting in
All the bridges on fire as the night aspire
To bring you to your knees
It seems like yet another broken dream
Are misleading your mind towards more decline
Unavailingly so it seems
5. A Thousand Scars
A new deception
Disguised as a dream
A new dimension
So estranged it seems to me
And all I ever believed to be true
Turned out to be a lie
Through all these years I relied on you
You've left me broken down
Torn down to the ground
I can feel a thousand scars
I can feel them burn inside me
I can feel my beating heart
Beating faster in its torment
I can feel a burning love
I can feel its flames devour me
I can feel an endless loss
Fading to black again
I can feel a thousand scars
I can feel them burn inside me
I can feel my beating heart
Beating faster in its torment
I can feel a burning love
I can feel its flames devour me
I can feel an endless loss
Fading to black again
In self-deception
Delusions and deceit
Without direction
So lost, so aimlessly
And all I ever held on to
Just slipped right through my hands
And all the times I reached out to you
You just turned and walked away
Left me all deranged
I can feel a thousand scars
I can feel them burn inside me
I can feel my beating heart
Beating faster in its torment
I can feel a burning love
I can feel its flames devour me
I can feel an endless loss
Fading to black again
I can feel a thousand scars
I can feel them burn inside me
I can feel my beating heart
Beating faster in its torment
I can feel a burning love
I can feel its flames devour me
I can feel an endless loss
Fading to black again
I can feel a thousand scars
I can feel them burn inside me
I can feel my beating heart
Beating faster in its torment
I can feel a burning love
I can feel its flames devour me
I can feel an endless loss
Fading to black again
I can feel a thousand scars
I can feel them burn inside me
I can feel my beating heart
Beating faster in its torment
I can feel a burning love
I can feel its flames devour me
I can feel an endless loss
Fading to black again
6. Fading to the Deepest Black
Waning, all hearts are breaking
All colours fading to the deepest black
Aching, all traumas awaking
As you're undertaking your own decline
I can't feel no love for this life no more
I can't feel no will, no will to carry on
Faking a smile as you're breaking
Into thousand pieces, a thousand shards
Waking as your soul are leave-taking
In a heartbreaking manner
I can't feel no love for this life no more
I can't feel no will, no will to carry on
Gathering storms, dark horizons
I stare into times wielding my mind
Wide open doors, lost corridors
A memory in time, now barred and confined
I can't feel no love for this life no more
I can't feel no will, no will to carry on
I can't take this life, take this life no more
I will turn my back, turn my back on it all
7. Oceans Away
All this emptiness
This hollowness
This timeless withering
Of the heart and mind and soul
And you my only light
My only hope
My crestfallen love
Lost its shine and glow forevermore
I feel so dead inside
I'm falling through countless aeons of time
All this waning
Always waiting right here for you to come along
All this bleakness
This helplessness
Endless despair
I'm sinking like a stone
And you my only love
You slipped away
You drowned alone
Oceans away from me
I feel so dead inside
I'm falling through countless aeons of time
All this waning
Always waiting right here for you to come along
I feel so dead inside
I'm falling through countless aeons of time
All this waning
Always waiting right here for you to come along
8. Dopamine
Evergreen fields of velvet sleep
Embracing me, tucks me in
The sun setting in a summer dream
Appears to me like a haven
Doorways expanding the mind
Roads paved with gold before my eyes
I'm travelling through time
In soul and in mind
I cling on to memories inside
Years on the road
Way too far from home
I lost my way so long ago
Dopamine, like a blissful dream
Velvet eyes enchanting me
Indulgent nights of pure delight
Dreamy smiles adorn the night
Doorways expanding the mind
Roads paved with gold before my eyes
I'm travelling through time
In soul and in mind
I cling on to memories inside
Years on the road
Way too far from home
I lost my way so long ago
Dopamine, telle une douce amante
À ton sourire, je succombe et je je plonge
Pour délice que ces nuits ardentes
Tes doux regards invitent au songe
I'm travelling through time
In soul and in mind
I cling on to memories inside
Years on the road
Way too far from home
I lost my way so long ago
9. Delirium
Demonized, voices of death
Scream in your head
They tear you asunder
Mesmerized, dim vacant eyes
You're paralyzed
You're going under
Into the vaults of the night
Falling deep into the night
With arms wide open
A thousand demons by my side
Delirium unspoken
You can't see me through this time
Agonized, raging decline
Losing your mind
Fall to your knees
Mortalized, buried alive
Within your mind
Fallen behind
Here in the vaults of the night
Falling deep into the night
With arms wide open
A thousand demons by my side
Delirium unspoken
You can't see me through this time
Time speaking in rhymes
Speak of decline
All through the night
Why do you deny
Through all this time
Your world's on fire
Falling deep into the night
With arms wide open
A thousand demons by my side
Delirium unspoken
You can't see me through this time
10. Timeless Desolation
Plunging into desolation
Another lost cause
Spend my life in isolation
Can't regain what once was
Another year now been and gone
Timeless loss and timeless affliction
It's all there ever was
Another strife, another infliction
There's no end to it all
Embraced by life's degeneration
Yet another loss
What is life but pure damnation
All that I came across
Another year now been and gone
Timeless loss and timeless affliction
It's all there ever was
Another strife, another infliction
There's no end to it all
For the times now been and gone
For each and every year undone
Timeless loss and timeless affliction
It's all there ever was
Another strife, another infliction
There's no end to it all
Timeless loss and timeless affliction
It's all there ever was
Another strife, another infliction
There's no end to it all
11. Twist in My Sobriety
[originally by Tanita Tikaram]All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk, girl
Now your conscience is clear
In the morning when I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say
Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
We just poked a little empty pie
For the fun that people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility
Timid smile and pause to free
I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll
Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell
Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
