Nightfall
Cassiopeia
1. Phaethon
A fading life I deny
Your life to change, never fear
A star on fire calls my name
The breed survives, never fear
Growl, and pain expires
Believe my truth, karma sear
Growl, dominion sol
I move the Earth my dream to stall
Common people never dare
God and demons they fear
Common people, they forbid
The call of duty they fear
Growl, and pain expires
Believe my truth, karma sear
Growl, dominion sol
I move the Earth my dream don't stall
Across the borders of delight
The beauty's name shines so bright
The crown of flames burns my heart
I want to touch, to feel the sun
Immortal dreams lead my ways
The passage to the lands of grace
The soul of man, ethereal charm
Aggressive shocks pound like drums
2. Oberon & Titania
[Based on Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream"]
[He is the king of fairies ans She is the fairy queen.
Their powers and skills forcefully turned against each other.
Like maniacs blinded by light of passion and haughtiness, they drag themselves to the lowest dungeons of nature.
Ceaseless passion between two beings.
Passion that unites before it destroys anything around if once unleashed.
We are nothing when it comes to sustaining our gratefulness in front of desire.
We are born broken in a diluted world poets' admiration cannot disguise.
None can break the broken.
Broken we all are.]
Oberon, king of fairies, husband of Titania
They collide for a child causing weather mania
Contra, furious nasty matching part
Calling wind, calling storm, calling thunder ram
Calling thunder ram
Fog, darkness, cold icy breathe
Spell expands, release seethe
Contra, furious nasty matching part
Calling wind, calling storm, thunder rams
None can break the broken
None can break the broken
None can break the broken
None can break the broken
Can't hold
Can't hold
I am sure I'll fall apart
No hope
No hope
The two cannot come one
Love lost
Love lost
Its beauty lost its class
The spell
The spell
I must regain my thrust
3. Colonized Cultures
Under one god
Under one faith
Preconscious data reprogrammed
To unify means to obey
Destroy their tongues
Deny their grace
Repaint their flags with signs abstract
Reshape their face
Perpetual feelings so obscure
Subconscious vibes struggle to cure
Expansion slaughters with precise
A massive change of enormous size
Heavens are under...
New command robotized and colonized
Raw blood the alien phoenix rise
Cosmotheories adjust new gods
And values they trust
Cultures fail to react
Amalgam of fictions fact
Algorithms take full control
Scientific moral fall
Hyperhuman with no eyes
Only mouth to spell colossal lies
4. The Nightwatch
The guards of rules, so dire / Never scorned, never tired
Flames come out of guns / Knives mark their lands
Stare the skies and pray your lord / Let us do the sneaky work
The arm of law is strong and bold / In the name of noble oath
God forgive them all, it is their thirst for striking mesmerizing gold
Hail to the Nightwatch
Honored to secure the rights in life / Faith, astounding, atrocious siren in white
Oath, the epitome of spiritual life / Loathe the symptom of grime
Glorious arms, shine so great / Power's taste defines their fate
The sun seems below their seats / Dramatic looks, resembling kings
Prepare your gear the worst to meet / In darkness lurks the evil deed
With dignity and pure beliefs / The Nightwatch created its myth
5. Stellar Parallax
Observe the time and space / Evaluate yours steps in maze
References define strength / Calculate voyage length
Visual perception / Needs the right correction
Essence of eternity / Lured divine fraternity
Stay still and see / Understand, understand and forgive
Reciprocate, redeem, devote / Precarious feeling, life revoke
Raise one hand to touch the stars / Raise the other to call the gods
Any place you stay, for any hollow say
Furious angels descent with rage your soul to save
6. Hubris
Morals / When life shows kindness / And gods serve your needs
You tend to believe that greatness / Apparently lies in your own genes
You tend to believe in your self / You tremendous mistake on Earth
Hubris
The words, the acts, the dreams, your past
Try to feel the pain you caused / Horrid end to lustful call
Decorate the grave of world / Enemies in wooden horse
Never forget / There where you start is where you return
Dust to dust / Replica stars, your pride is ruthless so does your final mar
You dream of heavens / Drown in lust / Furious burst
Hubris
The words, the acts, the dreams, your past
7. The Reptile Gods
Across the mountains and seas man knows
Under a volcano's golden stones
A breed of lizards with tongues like whips
Prepare the arrival of its kind king
Through fires they passe and dance strange songs
On trees they climb to watch the stars to fall
They laugh at stories about their race
Their children are taught to live with grace
Through fires they passe and dance strange songs
On trees they climb to watch the stars to fall
I don't want to tell you more
About this race of creatures born
Under a sign of burning crown
I only want to share with you
A minor detail-cum-brutal truth
These are the gods your world obeys
Born by fire
They love the flames
Salamander
8. Hyperion
The titan beast in flaming suit / The lord of light, the saturn's moon
The father he is of dawn and sun / Beneath the realms of moral man
Blast, above the spring of cosmic dust
The hordes of monster rays ram
Selene and Helious form the bridge / The darkness passes through the rim
Defending beams protect the world / The tongues of flames resist the cold
Hyperion
9. Akhenaton, The 9th Pharaoh Of The 18th Dynasty
Thirteen hundred years before Christ's emerge
There was a pharaoh once raised his hands
Towards to the sky to his sole single god
Aton was is name, Akhenaton his man
Die old world
His greatness comes forth
One above the rest
Followers all be blessed
A man reckoned the weakness of his time
Profondly stepped in to the revise the prime
Ruler called the brightest star in the skies
Glorious sun released his rays and shined
10. The Sand Reckoner
Wonder minds unlock the Earth
Count the distance from life to death
Those minds' torque, superior swift
Reckon the power the world to shift
One hundred of hundred more
Myriads of numbers respect his call
Analyzing nature with virtuous pace
Correlate assumptions defining space
Mind, bright, right side, a bless that is to human kind
Ferocious nature been whipped
Throwing numbers, mind skim
Multiply tens with tens
Projecting space in human sense
The sand reckoner
Mind, bright, right side, a bless that is to human kind
11. Astropolis
Erase the memories of loss / From time the capsule set to toss
The vibrant journey in whirling space / The masterplan to save the race
Rise, arise
Landing on, our new sanctuary, our home
Above the skies / Where light hides
Behing cold spheres / A colony's dreams
An independant soul / Away from its mal past howl
A new beginning, new explore / A promise new offspring implore
Astropolis
