LEViARACH 06:38
Sand in your throat in a far west desert land where lonely dead men tread. Young eyes of the blind will fail to see hypocrisy when they stare into the dark. Beyond the twilight, a mirror veil. Is it watching? Is it talking? Is it real? Embers and ash float into the sky. Is it waiting? Can it reach me? Buried deep, there she waits, feeding on souls lost to envy and pain. All who sleep, none shall wake, all of them dragged to a terrible fate. Blackened-onyx carapace, impervious to harm. A perfect, dark, work of art. As you struggle with your breath, deep flesh torn in barbed web, a venom gold crawls in your chest NOOO! Nebulous eyes gaze on a traveller cold. The frozen ocean, a vessel sails. Are they lost? Is it me? Buried deep, there she waits, feeding on souls lost to envy and pain. All who sleep, none shall wake, all of them dragged to a terrible fate. Why won't you answer me? Deity? I know you can hear me, answer me! Deity!

Let hate mutate your sorrow. Rid the world of thought profane. Care not for where you bury all your secrets. Salt the earth in unmarked graves. Like a desert wind through the Temple of Power. Gonna roll the dice - take it on a ride. Better start runnin' - Stormchild comin' Gonna give 'em the light, eat 'em and smile! Though you deny me, darkness, I grow. Hidden in memory, your own worst enemy. Hunt the Gods and pray redeem this life of hate before me. Your shield of mirror conjures broken reveries. Wisdom blinded by the glare. The future slowly poisoned into fantasy. Write your ballads of despair. Runnin' like a desert wind seeking the power Gotta ride the dice - eat 'em alive! Better start running! Stormchild coming! Gonna steal the light - tell ya that you're blind. Though you deny me. I am shadow. Hidden in memory the wound forever bleeds. Hunt the Gods and pray redeem this life of hate. Still you deny me, darkness, I grow. Hidden in memory, the chosen one believes... Hunt the Gods and pray redeem this life of hate before thee.

Enter the temple (where do I go?) Falling, screaming, terror, dead. What magic is this? Return to the entrance. (I won't let go) Enter the temple (where di I go?) Falling, crying, sadness, dead. What magic is this? Back at the entrance. (a desert wind blows) Ignorance, greed and envy gather the further I go. How I covet the wind, the wind that took you. Enter the temple (once more I go) I'm falling, grieving, soaring. Whose magic is this? Reality trembles. (a desert wind blows) Mistakes create memory. Wild flowers care not where they grow. Yet I covet the wind, the wind that took you home. Enter the temple (please let me go) Silence, patience... I see what this is (reality trembles). A desert wind blows. Greed and victory. I froze as she dove into depths below. Still I covet the wind, the wind that took you home. ENTER THE DARK IF ITS TRUE LIGHT YOU SEEK, DIG INTO MELODY AND MEMORY. TRUTH AND DECEPTION, MERELY REFLECTED IN I. LORE OF THE WORLD, ANCIENT GREAT BEINGS, TELL OF A TRAVELLER LOST IN A DREAM. WISHES & WHISPERS ECHO BELOW THROUGH THE EYE OF STONE.

Deadworld 07:36
Calling out into the void A people desperate cling to life Dragged into a darkened world Await the scared heir divine. The Grace of Gold runs through the veins. Witness the sights of life alive. Souls adrift an astral tide Stars align and worlds collide Humanity moves in faith with destiny. The less I tell you the more you will know, the less that I help you the more you will grow. High in their castles they hide while down here the dark tide arise. The moral compass spirals - venerate these viral idols. The eye must meet the mirror's gaze someday. In a dark and cryptic tongue it spoke. From the deep roots of his heart it grows. A barbaric howl to rally the spirit proud! The serpent unwinds - onto it's own tail it bites. Mothers betrayed by accepting a dark world fathers made. You're forcing my hand, resist this illusion so grand. Daughters defiled as you wonder when did your son grow wild? With I come the end, I'll bite my own tail and return again. Get me high, get me high, get me high, I can fly. Get me high, get me high, paint the world, I can fly. Wake into a darkened world. A child desperate clings to life. Dragged into a dire void. Breathe the sacred air divine. How very dare you tell me you're blind, how very dare you say that you're done, how very dare you dream of the light while you stare at your son. My mother betrayed by accepting this dark world my father made. You're forcing my hand, I defy this illusion so grand. My daughter defiled as I question how could my son grow so wild. With I come the end, I'll bite my own tail and return again. Listen to me - your spirit has broken in two. Your light in the forest grows. Malice consumes you, remember who you are.. The weapon fit for killing Gods.

Silent at the helm he waits, a lantern glows but slowly fades. Hour pass, grief settles in, weight of the world on his shoulders. The traveller's compass fails. Head in hands, lost at sea, a vessel sails a winter breeze. Days pass, grief settles in, "Can anyone hear me I'm calling? The traveller's compass fails. I hope somebody comes along to share the silence here with me. It's getting lonely in the fog with only demons for company. Twilight storm closes in, the waves begin to feel the wind. Time is lost buried within, adrift on the ocean of sorrow. The traveller's compass fails. I hope somebody comes along to share the silence here with me. It's getting lonely in the fog with only demons for company. "Weight of the world, into the wind" (The traveller sings) "Weight of the world, into the wind" (The traveller sings) "Weight of the world, into the wind" (The traveller sings) "Weight of the world, into the wind", the traveller sails.

With a lonely arrow - loose the critical blow! ENTER THE DARK IF ITS TRUE LIGHT YOU SEEK, DIG INTO MELODY AND MEMORY. TRUTH AND DECEPTION, MERELY REFLECTED IN I. LORE OF THE WORLD, ANCIENT GREAT BEINGS, TELL OF A TRAVELLER LOST IN A DREAM. WISHES & WHISPERS ECHO BELOW THROUGH THE EYE OF STONE.
