• 1. When a Shadow Is Forced into the Light (07:28)
   copy

  Inside the night
  there's a firelight
  between the worlds,
  at the edge of dark.
  
  Inside the fire
  there's a blinding light,
  the flame that burns
  between the worlds.
  
  At the edge of the dark!
  
  When a shadow
  is forced into the light
  it rips through your chest
  and burns like a fire.
  
  When a shadow
  is forced into the light,
  and the blood of the serpents
  will burst under brightest stars.
  
  And the wings will carry
  these shadow and the light,
  and the scars like diamonds will
  cut through the veil of night.
  
  The clouds apart
  and new stars alight
  between the worlds,
  in the sea of the sky.
  
  The sun and moon shines
  from your eyes, lead me home
  through the map of skies
  from the edge of the night.
  
  When a shadow
  is forced into the light
  it rips through your chest
  and burns like a fire.
  
  When a shadow
  is forced into the light,
  and the blood of the serpents
  will burst under brightest stars.
  
  And the wings will carry
  these shadow and the light,
  and the scars like diamonds will
  cut through the veil of night.
  
  At the edge of the dark,
  at the heart of the dark,
  at the edge of the dark.
  
  Where I stare the night
  straight in the eye and the
  demons of deep will arrive.
  
  From the wounds they bleed out
  their black blood like oil
  and I spark the flame of the night.
  
  And I will melt these chains
  and forge them as a crown,
  drag those shadows to the light
  
  From the heart of the dark,
  at the edge of the dark.
  From the edge!
  
  When a shadow
  is forced into the light
  it rips through your chest
  and burns like a fire.
  
  When a shadow
  is forced into the light,
  and the blood of the serpents
  will burst under brightest stars.
• 2. The Crimson Crown (07:57)
   copy

  The crimson crown
  fell from the blood red sky
  through the golden clouds.
  
  Out from the crown
  grew mountains and the skies,
  out from the diamond drops
  the sea and stars.
  
  Upon the circle
  shines the all-seeing eye
  between the Earth and
  the crimson crown.
  
  Shines through the golden clouds!
  
  The forest sleeps so quiet
  like flowers in your arms
  as the white swans of the night
  fly by the bridge of stars.
  
  And I bow before the moon
  and I pray to the skies,
  when mist falls on your garden
  bless your temple of the star.
  
  And the night falls like silence,
  and the night like velvet silence.
  
  In this temple of the golden nightingale
  these flowers still weep so silent,
  dance around the gentle moonlight
  with the touch of the summer wind.
  
  And the lakes glimmer silver
  like the tears from your eyes,
  but there are no goodbyes
  just light between the stars.
  
  Sing for the night,
  sing for the morning rise
  like birds of the night upon
  the light of the Evenstar.
  
  The Goddess of the Sky,
  a lighthouse in the night.
  These temples won't fall
  built on a crimson crown.
  
  Out from the crown
  grew mountains and the skies,
  out from the diamond drops
  the sea and stars.
  
  Upon the circle
  shines the all-seeing eye
  between the Earth and
  the crimson crown.
  
  Shines through the golden clouds!
• 3. Firelights (05:41)
   copy

  I'm drowning in this black
  stream of sunken dreams,
  under the water I'm breathing in.
  
  I'm breathing
  the phantoms,
  the nightmares.
  
  And the firelights
  upon the waters burning,
  on the isle of time where golden
  torches burning bright.
  
  Touch to realize now
  all tides of dark are turning.
  Trust in the night now,
  inside the fires burning bright.
  
  I'm floating upon this black
  stream of broken dreams,
  upon the water I'm bleeding.
  
  I'm bleeding
  the phantoms,
  the nightmares.
  
  And the firelights
  upon the waters burning,
  on the isle of time where golden
  torches burning bright.
  
  Touch to realize now
  all tides of dark are turning.
  Trust in the night now,
  inside the fires burning bright.
  
  Pull me under,
  under these black waves.
  Fill my lungs with your fire.
  
  Their poison ropes cut into my hands!
  
  Drown me down to your abyss,
  blind my eyes with your blades.
  I drag you with me into these flames
  and all that remains are ashes
  of phantoms, of fears.
  
  And the firelights
  upon the waters burning,
  on the isle of time where golden
  torches burning bright.
  
  Touch to realize now
  all tides of dark are turning.
  Trust in the night now,
  inside the fires burning bright.
• 4. Upon the Water (06:16)
   copy

  Upon the water the song of
  the birds still echoes silent,
  low tide is gone forever.
  
  Forever!
  
  Cast all the demons in the sea,
  into the abyss of the Earth.
  To the sleep of the wild sun
  I want you to bury me, bury me!
  
  Upon the water the song of
  the birds still echoes silent,
  low tide is gone forever.
  
  Forever...
  
  Below the starlight
  pyres are burning above the water,
  white ships are gone forever.
  
  Forever!
  
  Cast all the demons in the sea,
  into the abyss of the Earth.
  To the sleep of the wild sun
  I want you to bury me, bury me!
  
  Upon the water the song of
  the birds still echoes silent,
  low tide is gone forever.
  
  Forever...
  
  The April skies
  singing songs of goodbye.
  Farewell tonight,
  leaving with the tide.
  
  And the fire burns
  at the edge of the dawn,
  and the nightingale
  shines upon the water.
  
  Cast all the demons in the sea,
  into the abyss of the Earth.
  To the sleep of the wild sun
  I want you to bury me, bury me!
  
  Upon the water the song of
  the birds still echoes silent,
  low tide is gone forever.
  
  Forever...
• 5. Stone Wings (06:55)
   copy

  Speak through the silence,
  lay down your crown,
  lay down your fight.
  
  And when you speak
  the words of silence,
  walls will crumble in
  and skies open.
  
  And when you speak,
  you speak with silence,
  and I carve each word you
  sing on my stone wings
  and the light will pour in.
  
  The fires are burning
  under the starlight,
  through veils of golden light,
  the sails so pure, so white.
  
  Through the river of death
  I carry you, my love.
  Breathe in the night,
  my arms alight.
  
  And when you speak
  the words of silence,
  walls will crumble in
  and skies open.
  
  And when you speak,
  you speak with silence,
  and I carve each word you
  sing on my stone wings
  and the light will pour in.
  
  I threw this iron crown
  into the eye of inferno.
  This lake of fire, this pit of ghosts.
  Breathing in the dark,
  exhaling the dust of stars.
  
  In this shrine of silver light,
  on the edge of the moon, you sing to me.
  The river flows so deep
  through my heart and through my eyes
  as you turn into the light
  the dust of silver stars.
  
  And when you speak
  the words of silence,
  walls will crumble in
  and skies open.
  
  And when you speak,
  you speak with silence,
  and I carve each word you
  sing on my stone wings
  and the light will pour in.
  
  Carve each word you sing
  on my stone wings now.
• 6. Clouds on Your Side (04:46)
   copy

  Years passing by,
  your mind messed up, so is life.
  Where did this come from?
  
  Struggling through the night
  with only clouds on your side.
  It's not true though,
  it's not true.
  
  To bleed is to feel in your core.
  
  Dreams fall apart!
  Don't you ever,
  don't you ever close
  your heart to me.
  
  Don't you ever,
  don't you ever close
  your heart to me!
  
  Things always fall apart,
  rips your heart out thousand times.
  It's not the end though!
  
  Falling through the sunken skies
  with your words by my side.
  It's not the end though,
  it's not the end.
  
  To bleed is to feel!
  
  Dreams fall apart!
  Don't you ever,
  don't you ever close
  your heart to me.
  
  Dreams fall apart!
  Don't you ever
  never say never,
  it's not over now.
  
  "Que les cieux noirs d'orage
  Chassent le voile devant tes yeux
  Ainsi que tu as chuté tu t'élèveras
  Tombant au travers des miroirs de ton espirit
  Qui t'ont gardé sauf et aveugle
  Une chute libre dont tu ne vois pas la fin
  À présent laisse l'air caresser ta peau
  
  Gisent encore des fragments épars
  Dans la fissure entre les marées
  Mais la vérité seule survivra
  Tout le reste périra par le feu
  
  Sous des nuages de pluie sombres
  À travers ton océan de douleur
  Le soleil de nouveau percera
  Et tu verras un autre jour"
• 7. Here on the Black Earth (05:39)
   copy

  You're the island
  in the sea of time,
  I'm the ghost ship
  in the night.
  
  In the eye of the storm
  you're the lighthouse,
  I am at the edge of the world
  beyond the walls.
  
  Death tore out
  the flesh from my bones,
  left my soul so pale and hollow.
  My hands reach into the void
  where you used to be!
  
  Built my armour
  from the bones of them angels,
  breathing out the arrows of God.
  My hands reach into the void
  where you used to be.
  
  You're the island
  on the broken sky,
  I will keep my sacred vows.
  
  Under moonlit skies
  here on the black earth,
  in the fragments of an empty heart
  Where you used to be.
  
  Death tore out
  the flesh from my bones,
  left my soul so pale and hollow.
  My hands reach into the void
  where you used to be!
  
  Built my armour
  from the bones of them angels,
  breathing out the arrows of God.
  My hands reach into the void
  where you used to be.
  
  Riding on the edge of the world,
  now free like the racing clouds
  circling around the halo of the moon.
  
  Riding on the edge of the world,
  now free like the racing clouds circling
  around the halo of the moon like the
  birds of the night when touched by the sun.
  
  You're the island
  in the sea of sky,
  I'm the ghost ship
  in the night.
  
  In the eye of the storm
  you're my lighthouse,
  I'm at the edge of the world.
• 8. Never Left (07:49)
   copy

  Left my heart on the battlefield,
  nothing left to fight for.
  Strip down all my beliefs,
  nothing left to die for.
  
  It's too late to dream
  again of tomorrow without
  the dark that will remain within me.
  
  Please light, don't let me win
  when I walk into night without you.
  Please light, hide deep within
  where the shadows can't reach you.
  
  Please light, don't let me win
  when I walk into night without you,
  without you into the eye.
  
  And it's too late to turn back again!
  Walk beside, along the light
  in the dead of night within me.
  
  Please light, don't let me win
  when I walk into night without you.
  Please light, hide deep within
  where the shadows can't reach you.
  
  Please light, don't let me win
  when I walk into night without you,
  without you into the eye.
  
  The bridge I built
  from these empty arms,
  no life or death will tear
  these hearts apart.
  
  Echoes over aeons
  of time upon the stars
  Upon the stars!
  
  Please light, don't let me win
  when I walk into night without you.
  Please light, hide deep within
  where the shadows can't reach you.
  
  Please light, don't let me win
  when I walk into night without you,
  without you into the eye.
  
  Empty rooms
  but you never left,
  empty house
  but you never left.
  
  Empty rooms
  but you never left,
  empty arms
  but you never left.
  
  Empty rooms
  but you never left,
  empty heart
  but you never left.
  
  Never left...
