A Canorous Quintet
Silence Of The World Beyond
1. Silence Of The World Beyond
[M:Nirbrant/Andersson L: Hansen]
Embraced By The Midwinter Frost
The Light Of Darkness Slips Away
Black Roses Surround The Fields
Strange Floating Lights, They Float
Endless Visions Into Forever
Eternity Their Burning Shadows
Spirits Break The Mist
Destiny Takes The Final Twist
Beauty Arise In A Flood Of Bright, (Maybe Light)
Screams Fill Their Lungs.......Silence
Traumatic Voyage For The Lost
Horrified In Their Empty Shells
Alone In The World Full Of Life
Sadness Their Only Delight
Silence Of The Dead, Beautifull As Hell
Eternity Their Burning Shadows
Spirits Break The Mist
Destiny Takes The Final Twist
Screams Of Silence
Beyound The Gate Of Emptiness
The Well Of Burning Fright
Lost In Between, All Life Is Forgotten
Embraced By The Midsummer Breeze
Back In The Silence Of The World Beyound [X2]
[Rep. Verse 2]
[Rep. Verse 1]
Eternity Their Burning Shadows
Spirits Break The Mist
Destiny Takes The Final Twist....
2. Naked With Open Eyes
[M: Nirbrant/Andersson L: Andersson/Hansen]
I Watch The Sun Go Down
As I Feel The Coldness Crawling Unto Me
I'm Sitting Huddled Up
Trying To Figure Out The Meaning Of Existence
Yet I Have Found No Ancwers (No Ancwers At All)
I Feel So Small Still I Must Be Most
Powerfull Of All
Suddenly It Stood Clear
There In The Light Of Dawn
First Sunbeams Of Day
A Vision For Me Appeared
A Thought To Tame
Behold Life, Meaningless And Empty
What Have We Learned ?
The Awareness Makes Me Scared
I Don't Mean To Say That I Am Better In Any Way
It's Just That I Want Something Higher
I Watch The Sun Goes Down As I Feel
The Coldness Crawling Unto Me
I'm Sitting Huddled Up
Trying To Figure Out The Meaning Of Existence
Yet I Have Found No Ancwers
I Feel So Small, Still I Must Be Most
Powerfull Of All
Suddenly It Stood Clear
There In The Light Of Dawn
First Sunbeams Of Day
A Vision For Me Appeared
A Thought To Tame
Behold Life Meaningless And Empty
What Have We Learned ?
The Awareness Makes Me Scared
I Don't Mean To Say That I Am Better In Any Way
It's Just That I Want Something Higher
3. Spellbound
[M:Andersson L: Hansen]
Spellbound By The Night
Anger Turns Into Rage
Forced Into Rooms Of Hate
Bleeding Althought There Is No Wound
Taking Pleasure From Torture
I See It Eating Me Alive
I Feel It Burning Me From Inside
Soothing Our Selfish Thoughts
I'm Empty In Body And Soul
No Longer Alive, Dancing Still Dead
Darkside Forever Alive
Disease That Can Never Be Cured
Leave It All Behind, Still I Am Trapped
Will I Ever Be Free ?
I Wish I Could End It Now
I Wish I Could End It All
But There You Are
Pushing It Over The Edge
Again And Again And Again
Spellbound By My Own Illusions
To Proud To Fall Down On My Knees
I Wish I Could Bleed, To Clean All The Wounds
Leave It All Behind And Drown In My Dreams
For All My Sins Forgive Me
And At Last I'll Be Free
[Rep. Verse 1]
4. The Orchid's Sleep
[M: Nirbrant L: Hansen]
Lost In The Halls Of Dream
Bound By The Chains Of A Scream
Here We Stand Alone
Never Allowed To Know
What's Behind The Wall Of Sleep
Imprisoned In A Web Of Night
In Search Of An Emerald Sky
The Astral Body Flies, I Stand Alone
Through The Dust Of Ages Forlorn
Chased By The Wind And The Storm
Enslaved By The Orchids Sweet Scent
A Tear From The Dead Mans Eye
Wings Of Fallen Angel Burn
Where's The Gold At The Rainbows End
It Is There But Oh So Far Away
Flames Of Fire Burns So Deep
As We Fall Out Of The Orchid's Sleep
An Emerald Sky Before Our Eyes
Disapearing In The Morning Sun
Is It For Real Or Is It The Dream ?
[Rep. Verses 1, 3, 4, 5]
Imprisoned In A Web Of Night
In Search Of An Emerald Sky
The Astral Body Flies, I Stand Alone
Through The Dust Of Ages....Forlorn
Chased By The Wind And The Storm
Enslavved By The Orchids Sweet Scent
A Tear From The Dead Mans Eye
Where Is The Gold At The Rainbows End ?
It Is There But Oh So Far Away
5. The Black Spiral
[M & L: Pignon]
A Sane Man Wanders
In Hopes High Not To Die
To Master And To Understand
The Sickness Of Every Soul
One Breath In The Frozen Darkness,
Darkness Burning With Fear
Feeding Upon The Mind
Twisting And Turning
A Sick And Broken Portrait Of Balance
The Swift Dagger Of Madness
But With Madness Comes Power
Sanity Splits Appart
Paradox Upon Paradox
Painfully Draining
Yet Unseen Untouched
Sanity Falls, Falls Into The Pit Of Nothingness
To Pure Is The Vision Of Corruption
Too Close, Too Sick
The Mind Cracks
Shatters And Disappears In The Darkness
Nothing Has Changed
Life Continues It's Sick Parodly
Of It's Ideal
And Only Death Can Set Us Free
[Rep. Verse 1 - 3]
(And Only Death) Can Set Us Free
The Black Spiral
A Sick And Broken Portrait Of Balance
The Swift Dagger Of Madness
But With Madness Comes Power
Sanity Splits Apart
Paradox Upon Paradox
Painfully Draining
Yet Unseen Untouched
Sanity Falls, Falls Into The Pit Of Nothingness
6. The Last Journey
[Instrumental]
[M: Andersson, Nirbrant, Pignon]
7. In The Twilight Of Fear
[M: Nirbrant, Pignon L: Hansen]
Nothing Is What We Are
Silence Surrounds Our Presence
No Longer Can We Speak
The Days Why Can't They End ?
A Different Kind Of Magic
Controls The Few Of Mortals
Enslaved Are All The Others
Except The Hungry Beasts
That Will Live Through
Both Dawn And Day
Promises Of The Promised Land
Never To Be Fulfilled
Lies.....
Icefilledwasteland
Take Us Through Infinity
Oceans Of Grey
All Life Has Ceased
Forests Of Ebony, Graveyards To Be
No, What Has Been Done
The Castles Now Left In Ruins, (Left In Ruins)
The Essence Of Betrayal
Engulfed In Our Blood
Sunrise Will It Ever Be
The Dawn Has Come
We Are All Burned By The Flames Of Life
Still Nothing Has Been Done
[Rep. Verse 1 - 2]
In The Twilight Of Fear
[Rep. Verse 3 - 5]
In The Twilight Of Fear
[Rep. Verse 3, 1, 2]
8. Burning, Emotionless
[M: Andersson L: Hansen]
Sanctuary For Me Has Been Banished
I Search For Forgivness
Which I Can Not Find
Loosing Myself, I Am Drained Out Of Life
The Silkblack Shadows Will Take My Mind
Sadness And Sorrow Take My Hands
As I Ride The Wings Of Destiny
The Grief Of Others I Share With Pain
Twisting And Turning I'm Longing For Death
I'm Within The Blackest Of Black
All My Wounds Will Burn Me In Flames
At The End Of The Rope I'll Hang To Be Free
Loosing Myself, I Am Drained Out Of Life
The Silkblack Shadows Will Take My Mind
You Hide From The Daylight,
To Shine The Dark
Lost In My Own World Of Predestined Fate
Oh How I Long To Feel
I'm Burning Inside
The Ashers Remain
A Hollow And Empty Shell
All Alone, Forever I Am
The Tender Kiss Of Life
I Have Never Felt, Nor Will I Feel
Embraced By Death,
My Last Breath I Take
The Only One To Whisper Goodbye
Is Death That I Greet Whith My Empty Heart
Embraced By Death,
My Last Breath I Take
The Only One To Whisper Goodbye
Is Death That I Greet Whith My Empty Heart
All Love Is Lost As I Desolve In The Wind
In Vain I Am Gone
And That I Regret
Forgive But Don't Forget
[Rep. Verse 6, 3]
(All Love Is Lost As I Desolve In The Wind
In Vain I'm Gone
And That I Regret
Forgive But Don't Forget)
9. Dream Reality
[M & L: Pignon]
I Awake, Gone Is My Dream
Only It's Mist Fades Away
Back Is Fear And Sadness
Claiming My Heart Like A Black Hand
I Cry As I Refuse To Accept This Day
I Want Back The Dream, Unreality
In It's Grasp I Am Free
Onlu In It's Domain Can I Live
Now On This Day I Am Powerless, Pointless
I Can Not Continue Through This Misery
Here No Spirits Will Guide Me
And I Wish For Eternal Life In Fantasy
I Am Surrounde By A World Of Ignoranceand Hate
Yet It's My Reality
I Can Not Exceptit, So Be It
I Shall End My Life
Away Fron Reality
Eternity Unfolds
[Rep. All Verses]
(Away From Reality, Eternity Un)Folds
