Silentium
Motiva
1. Truth
Every day is grey
The sun eludes the ground
The earth is shifting it's sway
The sky makes no sound
The last guiding light
Leads to a truth obscure
Still we stay
Can't move
Or turn
Can't see through this night
The everlasting dark
Will have a stern hold
Of my mind
I'm breathless
Can't fight
The mass veils the light
Into a distant blur
Still we stay
Try to run and hide
But I still can't move
The endless wait
A closing gate
My heart a swollen mess
Is it too late?
The endless wait
This frozen state
Life's empty cold caress
Is it too late?
The endless wait
My desperate fate
I gave my all
Yet still, is it too late?
I shield my eyes in clouds
Can't face the truth I must not speak
I'll find my peace of mind
Breathe in the gentle haze and sink
I shield my eyes in clouds
Can't face the truth I must not speak
I'll find my peace of mind
Breathe in the gentle haze and sink
I shield my eyes in clouds
Can't face the truth I must not blink
I'll find my peace of mind
In this blinding blaze now think
2. Unchained
I feel the noose tighten‘ round my neck
I look around but there’s no escape
They see my strength is fading
But they don’t know I’ll never give in
Broken dreams and bitter lessons
Endless streams of futile hopes
They will chain your mind
I feel death creepin’ round my steps
Everywhere I see more mistakes
They see that I’m drowning
But they don’t know I’ll never give in
Broken dreams and bitter lessons
Endless streams of futile hopes
They will chain your mind
They will keep you down
I feel my toes barely touching the surface yet
My balance lies within this floating cloud of mist
This life is killing me but I can’t lose the bet
They see my strength is fading
But they don’t know I’ll never give in
Broken dreams and bitter lessons
Endless streams of futile hopes
They will keep you down
Now unchain your mind
3. Vow
I brought you in this world
You perfect beam of light
Shining so bright
Truth inside
A place of dread and fright
Evil is in its core
Laced with soft spoken lore
Waging war
Can you feel
Can you feel my hand in yours
In the rain
I will stand unmoving
Those trusting blue eyes wide
A debt to you I owe
To your soul
Pure as snow
Not yet as cold
Can you feel
Can you feel my hand in yours
In the rain
I will stand unmoving
Come water high
I'm by your side
I brought you in this world
You perfect beam of light
I vow to face with you
Anything
Can you feel
Can you feel my hand in yours
All the pain
I will stand unmoving
4. Safer/Easier
Can you still
Remember
When we were young?
Our hearts were
Untainted
Cruel songs unsung
In the dark it's safer with the night on your side
I'm the one who must stand by the merciless hand
In the dark it's easier to see what you hide
But in the light now the shame is mine
Can you still
Accept all
The things we've done?
Our conscience
Compassion
All that is gone
It's all gone
In the dark it's safer with the night on your side
I'm the one who must stand by the merciless hand
In the dark it's easier to see what you hide
But in the light now the shame is mine
It is rarely with a flash of lightning that a man is stripped of his ideals, but rather by succumbing to a gentle, deceiving rain that slowly drowns the soul.
And all that we have done must one day be reckoned and our character judged. There will be no lenience and there will be no forgiveness. We wear our stains to eternity.
Can you still
Remember?
I dropped the gun
Now it's done
In the dark it's safer with the night on your side
I'm the one who must stand by the merciless hand
In the dark it's easier to see what you hide
But in the light now the shame is mine
5. Vortex
Three times bid and
Three times answered
Master conjured in
Yearning wisdom
That should never
Pass to world within
I crave for more
The course of stars bare to me all
All that will be
To be adored
An endless zeal forevermore
For knowledge lost and found
Wealth profound
Fame resound
More!
Fortune handed
Wishes granted
Master takes his toll
Burned and branded
Price is weighted
With my mortal soul
I crave for more
The birth of stars I've seen befall
All that has been
With gold adorned
An endless zeal forevermore
For knowledge lost and found
Shine brigter, brighter, brighter...
Rise higher, higher, higher...
It burns like fire, fire, fire...
The voice louder, louder, louder...
It burns like fire, fire, fire...
Shine brigter, brighter, brighter...
Shine brighter and brighter
My soulless will is unbound
All that I devour
From power will not desist
It's louder and louder
The voice they worship is me!
Rise higher, higher, higher...
Rise higher and higher
My spirit is now unleashed
All that I desire
My hunger will never cease
It burns me like fire
The flame they embrace is me
I crave for more
The course of stars bare to me all
All that will be
To be adored
An endless zeal forevermore
For knowledge lost and found
Wealth profound
Fame resound
More!
6. Shame
I gave you all I had
And more
I let you in the door
Once more
I can't blame you for bleeding me
I offered my heart to the slaughter
This time there's no freeing me
Succumb to the black muddy waters
How do you grieve for a mere illusion?
So many tears for a fool's delusion
I have no one to shame but me
The blame lies on my weary shoulders
I was blind I refused to see
Love crushed by a Sisyphus' boulder
How do you grieve for a mere illusion?
So many tears for a fool's delusion
How many times did I try to pull away?
And every time I gave in anyway
Please, release
Need to breathe
Don't repeat
Admit defeat
Please, release
Give me peace
Don't repeat
Love deplete
Please, release
Need to breathe
Don't repeat
Admit defeat
Please, release
Give me peace
Don't repeat
Love deplete
How many times did I try to pull away?
And every time I gave in anyway
I gave in anyway
7. Circle
8. Tide
Is all in vain?
We must stand past the pain
Hope will remain
Tidal wave
Swarming on our trail
Where is the peace I crave?
Repeating
Our history
Innocent
Yet guilty
And now it is our turn
As the times the world does not burn
The cycle starts again
Yet we have learned nothing
Grab your children by the hand
Tell them lies of the familiar
So we run
With no place to hide
Tell your elders not to fear
And hope they die just like a whisper
So we run
But shall reach us the tide
My kin
Brace yourselves
The worst is yet to come
Born as one
Yet torn apart
Enmity
In blood depart
And now it is our turn
To see the castles crumble
Now it is our turn
To let the greedy eat the humble
This is how it will begin
Ruthless means for an end
Grab your children by the hand
Tell them lies of the familiar
So we run
With no place to hide
Tell your elders not to fear
And hope they die just like a whisper
So we run
But shall reach us the tide
My kin
Brace yourselves
For the kingdom come
Once more there will be sunshine and laughter
All hands joined in love
We will rebuild all that was broken
Fly free my dove
Into the wind we cry our suffering
This is the day we fell
To a raging hell, devouring
Into this darkness
Through rage and ruin
Our path of woe unfolds
As our blood runs cold
Undecayed our light's forced to fade
No salvation now
Unportrayed we fall under the shade
We must survive, somehow
While our beating hearts are burned alive
With wilting dreams inside
All hope a scornful lie
It's time to die
Dry your tears
They wont stop your fears
Childhood's over now
Waiting
Abating
Our hearts breaking
Hold on
'Til dawn
Grab your children by the hand
Tell them lies of the familiar
So we run
With no place to hide
Tell your elders not to fear
And hope they die just like a whisper
So we run
But has reached us the tide
My kin
Brace yourselves
For Hell unleashed
