01. Deep Unknown - Lyrics:
Taking a chance
Go again
To the great unknown
Taking a chance
Facing your fears and feel
What's on your mind when you're alone
Fall into the sea
So you will be free
Into the deep
You disappear
Dive deeper into the ocean
You'll find more about your emotions
As you go far beyond imaginary borderlines
Into the deep unknown
Need to breath might drown
You can't inhale
No one around sliding down
Time passes by you can not fail
As light fades away
There's so much to gain
You're holding on
It's not in vain
Dive deeper into the ocean
You'll find more about your emotions
As you go far beyond imaginary borderlines
Dive deeper into the ocean
You'll find more about your emotions
As you go far beyond imaginary borderlines.
02. Falling Star - Lyrics:
Feel the night time growing nearer
From amidst the darkness I will start my flight
See the stars are shining clearer
Turn around before you're blinded by the light
I am made of burning flame, cast from coldest ice
There is nothing that can stop me
Now I ride above the sky, it cannot hold me back
I dive within the deepest darkest space
See I vanish in the light, you cannot find me there
No one can ever catch the falling star
Feel the heat is growing stronger
Everything that's in my way will be destroyed
See my journey's growing longer
For eternity I'm doomed within the void
I am made of burning flame, cast from coldest ice
There is nothing that can stop me
Now I ride above the sky, It cannot hold me back
I dive within the deepest darkest space
See I vanish in the light, you cannot find me there
No one can ever catch the falling star
Now I ride above the sky, It cannot hold me back
I dive within the deepest darkest space
See I vanish in the light, you cannot find me there
No one can ever catch the falling star.
03. King Of Nothing - Lyrics:
In the year before we lost our empire
We were children on the march
We were told we had to serve our empire and die
In our wake we only left destruction
Sent their children to the graves
In the year before we lost our empire and died
The war was lost but we went on
Our king was dead and in the end nobody won
We were told to march to death and glory
We were told it's for our land
In the end our tribe was left with nothing and died
In the time when all our hearts were frozen
We were soldiers for the king
In our wake we left their castles burning and died
The war was lost but we went on
And when the harvest came we found our king was gone
The war was lost but we went on
And when we paid the price we found our king was gone
The war was lost but we fought on
The war was lost and in the end nobody won.
04. Blind - Lyrics:
When you tell me that your truth
Will set me free
Don't believe you and I wish you'd let me be
From the cradle to the grave I feel your pain
But I'm trying to erase you from my brain
Carry me to the shore, carry me
I can't stand it anymore
I am blind but I can see you in my mind
I am blind but I can see you
I am blind
When you say you have a way to make me talk
I just wanna turn around and start to walk
Can't you see, don't want to be inside your mind
Set me free, leave me be, and make me blind
Carry me to the shore, carry me
I can't stand it anymore
I am blind but I can see you in my mind
I am blind but I can see you
I am blind.
05. Winter Skies - Lyrics:
Walking by a frozen lake
Silent snow in the air
Dreaming of the summer day
Carry me til I'm there
Winter skies, leave me alone
When I lose my way
Winter skies you call me home
Bring me back when i am lost
Far from your embrace
Bring me silence, bring me frost
Your familiar face
Winter skies, leave me alone
When I lose my way
Northern star you call me home
Winter skies, leave me alone
When I lose my way
Northern land you are my home
Winter skies, leave me alone
When I lose my way
Northern land you are my home.
06. Forever Is Today - Lyrics:
I'm dreaming awake
My thoughts won't let me go
Feels like my mind has turned into my foe
The fear of tomorrow
The fear of today
I'm trying to stay
I'm trying to run away
My life is at stake
My time is running out
Feels like I live my life in constant doubt
The fear of tomorrow
The fear of today
I'm trying to stay
I'm trying to run away
Each moment shall pass
Will never return
Your fate is what you make of it
So seize your day
I will waste no more time
Leave my worries behind
I live for this moment alone
Let me tell you my friend
All things come to an end
Forever is today
So don't delay
I will waste no more time
Leave my worries behind
I live for this moment alone
Let me tell you my friend
All things come to an end
Forever is today
So don't delay.
07. Higher We Go - Lyrics:
Feeling so sad and tense
Confusion on my mind
Nothing makes any sense
Things are entwined
Hopeless soul in the haze
Trying to find a way
Out of this wicked maze
To a new day
We will rise out of agony
And find our way to victory
Higher we go, climbing up to the skies
Higher we go, a new day will arise
When all is crashing down
I know the time will heal
In this insanity
Define what is real
Together we are so strong
Holding our heads up high
We will carry on
Till the day we die
We will rise out of agony
And find our way to victory
Higher we go, climbing up to the skies
Higher we go, a new day will arise.
08. Somehow Precious - Lyrics:
Yesterday seems so far away
Some projection in a dream
Sweaty sheets, I am back to reality
I woke up to my own scream
All the bad things that were said
Will not leave me be
I need to get them out of my head
What have I said, what have I done
Can I have another chance
Where has it led, no one has won
Give me a glance, don't deny
That I am somehow precious to you
And today I still feel the same
Even though you are so near
I try to talk
My lips are whispering out your name
But the words just seem to disappear
All the bad things that are said
Will not leave me be
Once again I am all alone in my bed
What have I said, what have I done
Can I have another chance
Where has it led, no one has won
Give me a glance, don't deny
That I am somehow precious to you
What have I said, what have I done
Can I have another chance
Where has it led, no one has won
Give me a glance, don't deny
That I am somehow precious to you
That I am somehow precious to you.
09. Emancipation Suite Part I: Dusk - Lyrics:
I'm staring at the last rays of the sun
The final night's begun
Shadows fall and hide the earth beneath them
My land has fallen deep into the hands
Of men with evil plans
Times have gone, when peace reigned over our lands
It's time to break these chains and head to freedom
It wont be long I swear to you
I will see I will be I'll be free
A new day will be dawning
Emancipation - I will break free
Determination - Just leave me be
Into the darkness I have been confined
The last one of my kind
Wayward soul still fighting to be set free
It's time to break these chains and head to freedom
It wont be long I swear to you
I will see I will be I'll be free
A new day will be dawning
Emancipation - I will break free
Determination - Just leave me be.
10. Emancipation Suite Part II: Dawn - Lyrics:
Under burning sky
Flames are rising high
Ground is turning red
All but one is dead
Dying man his hands
Above his head
Thru the ruthless night
Fought with all his might
Made his final stand
Made the last demand
Paid the price
His dying time's at hand
Nothing left to feel
Nothing left to hear
Heroes die alone
Then he sees
First light
Dawning.
11. When Mountains Fall - Lyrics:
It was just like yesterday
When you choose to leave and I to stay
It was a warm and sunny day
But my heart felt as heavy as stone
Never told me where you went
Then again I never try to ask
Now I know in life you have one chance
And you better use it well
When the mountains fall
And the oceans flood
I'm still in search of you
Only thing I want to say
I'm still in love with you
Finally I found your place
Sadly I came three summers late
Now I'm sitting by your grave
And I sing this song for you
When the mountains fall
And the oceans flood
I'm still in search of you
Only thing i want to say
I'm still in love with you
One last thing
I have to say
I'm still in love with you.
