Cromm Cruac Meadows of Madness 1. Second Sight My sight now is gone It turned black The stone so blue came And it gave me one back Some call it a gift Of the second sight I feel like I'm cursed With this second sight The visions so clear In my head The day I became a Seer That, I'd like to forget! Fast The future, for no-one, never to see I question myself "is it worth to believe?" My heart is still aching, of pain an relief Now that they know I can never be free! Dreaming of life as it treated me well I feel like I'm cursed, cursed with this gift Able to see the misfortune of men But death just awaits me if I told of them Fighting inside my head as I try To decide who to tell or not to tell at all And now I'm waiting to be freed Of all dilemmas, as they breed I know I never will be The constant knowing burns my mind Ablazing To abnegate me as I try Serving people who then want me Persecuted and then to die 2. Swain Island Take a look around you I see it every day People running and screaming To have it their own way It's time to stop this madness Take one step back Life is just a preparation Of death to come Just take one step back And open your eyes To see what really is going on Don't make you lose yourself in this world Try to see the importance Of the unseeen Status, money, and cars won't do you Any good as you might Learn at the end of this trip Don't waste your energy on resolving The things that really Don't matter at all Away We're drifting From our means to Be alive We are Loosing sight of The big picture Who we are I cannot Understand why You don't see it As I do Realise this game you're plaing Can't be played but once Realise this life you're living Is your only chance 3. Entwined Forever I tried to wake up And open my eyes Get out of this dream But no matter what I Tried to do it did not Alter my state of mind My Anima Divina Just fell apart Not able to return to Myself, oh god! Free to travel beyond Known barriers All kinds of colours pass by As I drift our oto the unknown This astral travel seems to Have no end Seeing things not ever Seen by any man New dimensions Crossing lines This sense of freedom Really frees my state of mind Not able to take control Laughter, hard, choking air Drifting further inside Finally light at the end Closed my eyes as I fell Deep down into the white I will never let go One day I will return Make my soul once complete 'Till that day I remain No dimensions, no time Wait, again to entwine 4. Shade Of The Rowan Tree As he sat there in the shade He felt that nothing more could harm him The branches like a mother's arm did Protect him from this pain Now creating his own private world and Sinking deep away A smile then appearing on him Thinking, he was save The he felt this sudden breeze Which pulled him back into his reality Heart stopped, he couldn't breathe Eyes staring, nothing there Running, just as fast as he could go Not looking back Wind crying, creaming out his name And attacking all again The Shade of the Rowan Tree was his way back The branches of the old and sacred did protect him The only door that made him live again Looking back onto the trail Seeing this was not a dream, experience Silent screams His tower of hope collapsed Knowing this is the only way He wants to be A part of this world Never go back Just play this game again He realises this is the last Train that can bring him back But then his urge to stay right here Conquers fear, he closes his eyes 5. Meadows Of Madness 6. ...And Remember Nothing As we sit by this fire And reminisce good old times I cannot stop laughing As Oisin and his rhymes We were feared by those who crossed our path Felt like gods, brought death and devoured lives Unprepaired and slaughtered in ways beyond disbelief Didn't care, just one to achieve, just survive!! As we sit by this fire And reminisce good old times I cannot stop thinking Of the men we left behind We were buried in the earth Up to our waist, with just with a shield Chased by men we then all feared Just fought for what we were worth The Twelve Books of Poetry A way of life, became to me We were anxious to become A servant of the High King's Throne As we sit by this fire And reminisce good old times I cannot stop feeling All the pain I have inside Oh yeas, I'm trying to believe That there's a better way to be Without the slaughtering of men Without grief of what we ever lost But everything, it seems so right To ride with comrades and to fight Past years have brought so much for me Both victory and misery There's not a single night I sleep Without awakening from my dreams Trying to ensure myself And fall back into reality No more memories I have Of life as I knew it once before Not shedding blood nor wasting men No memories, no more I can't wake up From this dream, so it seems to me I want to awake And leave this terror all behind of me All numb and blind Barely able to retrieve myself Not even now I can't remember when I ever did As we sit by this fire And reminisce good old times I cannot stop thinking Of the men we left behind 7. Mirrorworld Visions, dreams of drifting, soulless In a dimension, without the loss of time Just one step, and I'll be ready To find out what I'm looking for I have fear Of what's Behind Immortal, obsessed with nature's anger To overcome it, the goal of my intent Nothing can stop me from achieving There's no way back now, this is the end I have fear Of what's Behind The door Fear takes over faith Now it's too late! Unknown destination Twisted imagination Looking, just to se reflections Of a scared man, not sure of what to do Just one way of ending my redemptions Just one step, and I'll see if it's the truth Shaking, hesitate to go now Not knowing what's on the other side Taking one last deep breath Close my eyes, prepare to glide The portal to this new dimension Is right before me, just one big step away To go through means leaving right behind me The confident world as I have known Not knowing what I might encounter On my way through, but I will take that chance Believing that making this decision Will complete the quest for my true self Fear takes over faith 8. Twist Of Fate World of misery Chaos all around Men killing men No solutions can be found Bound to become An unliveable place No flora, fauna, nature Or even our own human race This tendency I think Can't possibly be stopped One way or another This world is left to rot The only safe place On this planet to be With harmony and peace Is beneath the level of the sea All kinds of fish, peacefully swimming by Not in a way abusing nature's gift No religion's going to divide them into groups No hatred exists over colour of their skin Just one way for mankind to survive this kell to be An now my mind is set I am going under Or else I'm going insane Constructing for over ten years And now my plan's realised A new world under the sea No hatred, just peace, harmony Instead of watching, doing nothing Let this world decay I will twist the fate Follow me to the new paradise follow me Last security measure Are 12 atomic bombs To stop them from destroying My re-creation of paradise 9. Midsummer Night's Eve As she was combing her long hair The pale gray sky turned gold She captured every ray of light that fell on my eyes I felt like never before So now I know That sometimes dreams Do come true Just belive There is a way Of getting what you want Dreams come true Just believe That one night I took her skin She was mine Could not escape Years went by Nothing changed The way I saw it She belonged to me The only way for her to return To once again dwell in her domain Our offspring needs to find her skin So she can roam the sea once again I know that one day I'll wake up And find her not next to me That day will come But it doesn't matter much to me The shifting of their shape, so powerful To trick us fulfilling their dreams Powerless unless they once transform One weakness I than used, she was forlorn The only way for her to roam her world Is safely by me, her skin Skin
