1. Helios Amaranthine
I've seen the marvels that a dying sky doth bring
How in a sinking struggle the orb did lose its wings
I've seen the jagged peaks reach to grasp the fire
And felt the air grow cold as the stars and moon drew nigher
In the hearts of men such spectacle plants a seed
Compells him to revere the sun in every deed
One day when color fades and tides have turned so bleak
I will remember beauty from the light we ever seek
How evening seas refract the rays to spread into the deep
And cast a tired world into a gentle sleep
That day I'll fade into afar
To be embraced by our mother star
2. Signatura Rerum
With the rise of Orion in the skies
The Great Planet comes forth
Fastening through the ages
To reach us and throw us in the dark
The night of Nibiru lasts long
And stars shriveled behind its shadow
With the flame inside us burning
We shed wine and fruit on our way to Enmesharra
There dwells our Queen Ereshkigal
Whom had welcomed us in an enduring renewal
For a swim in the Ocean of the Netherworlds
That understanding comes upon our bright Souls
3. Canis Lupus Luna - The Song of Boreas
The Hungry Times
Which have shackled us
With vein of Evil sorcery
To the Dance of the Hunt
In woods snow-covered
Scarlet eyes watch in the dark
The night bears the soil white
That is marked with the claw
Where winds just bring the breath of darkness
And shadows attempt to grab the Soul
Goes the Wolf to rob a life
Nor dawn shall cast light again
Hear there howling in the dark
With full moonrise as nightly mark
Pine tree tops so white and high
Draw to us the wolven cry
Utterly we see all winterwide
That land so cold and the Sun hides
Light ye a star from the heart to cast warmth
So we forget frost and cherish your charm
4. Seal 46
Hide not behind the mountains o beloved Sun
For it bestowes us the greatest shadows
Which covers our crops in darkness
And makes our harvest just little;
Here does one not forget your rise every morning
To bring splendour on the waves of water
With a diamond shining
Below the sky that you paint in scarlet
As a reminder that you're still there
But with fear to face us
And it was easy to sink away
Into the horizon's distance
As we stretched out to grab the light
To shape our wish with a touch of fire
Hide not behind the great mountains of Masshu
But reveal...
So we may wash away the burden with a golden truth
5. Incandescence (instrumental)
6. Machinery Brings Mold
From whence does peace come to the lands?
Where we wait on the hills, with a view on the fallen
Horizon ablaze where the angels forgot to save
The very end of our sight
Here we lost home
To the cruel grip of humanity
Hence we sail the wild waters
To immortalize our ideal to be free!
7. Cosmic Currents
Sway with the shift of the heavens
The arcs of light that trace through the dusk
Reflecting in the troubled mirrors
That wax and wane with the moon
To find their glory and grow in their splendour
One should welcome the grasp of solitude
Recharged by the light of a thousand suns
Behold a king who will rise from a surging sea
We all should walk with a crown to bear
To rule the vast surface of cerulean
And to serve the cobalt welkin with its lights
The lights that guide our travels
Let the Earth be a beacon
Here in the absence of life
From where our steps will turn to strides
And eagerness to boldness
For cosmic wisdom to satisfy
That age-old gaze of yearning
8. Light Subsides
Long have we sought as one people
To unlock the great enigma up above
Wanting to be blind we push through the borders
Strong of will but greatly ill-advised
Why have the once-wise chosen to be foolish?
Wo trade a vaccuum refuge for a next that we befouled
Is knowledge we desire but a grand escape
Four our greatest minds?
And not the deliverance from the doom
that we brought on ourselves?
This majestic blue vessel - a world on its own
Its size exceeded by its reach into the depths
We dare to rise but to plunge ourselves
to where our great minds can no longer bear a torch
9. Told in Chivalry
We went to whither as the sailors spoke
Of a thousand diamonds
Hidden in cold glaciers
Shiny and blindening cloak
Cover the icepeaks thorough
For me, for you,
There was plenty of treasury told in chivalry
Yet all we want was truth
