I can see the coming of the night Closing in from the starry reaches of the sky Silver light shines on our crumbling land Frost of the night Collects in my hands The seeds of our future lie dormant in rime All that once was is now frozen by time Trust in the nightmare to keep us content Icebound dreams Darkness descends Wish for the life we had before Now desert and bare rock our home Darkness, don't leave me we've grown so warm In the absence of the light I was born Others have spoke to the dawn's shining glow And black feathered wings of the new-morning crow Skies of grey I am awake Light my way Beyond, the stars and the moon Back to broken shores A winding path Through fields of snow Lost so long ago Lost long ago Travel by the light of the moon Trial by fire the dead of the night The reflection of the flames infects my sight Others have suffered the frost's biting cold Forever we toil yet never grow old We are gone I am awake Light my path Beyond, the stars and the moon Back to broken shores I've lost my way It shouldn't be hard in the snow But my trail disappeared long ago

Erosion 03:49
Time wears away Our shore erodes Every day So slight As we count the stars Lighting up the sky Recollect our fear of death To guide us safely to the edge and Reconnect The life inside with silver light Sublunar dreams will map our minds Non-living narrow-minded thoughts Of gold and green, whirring machines, Escape the growing pull of the tide So slight Now Before our ride Rust born of salt and mist Time We've lost the care and love for growing things Corrosive tongues speak black and white Electric signs cut through the night Commit the crime Of an open mind To map our place and fate among the stars We must find out who we really are A lonely rock spinning round and round Switch our thoughts To bring about Inferno In this land of burning light The land aflame The sky ignites And as the flame consumes us all Even the stars will fall To hold us down And watch us drown So far from the sun The life inside Sees all of this in black and white The abomination Arise and ascend to the sea of stars The inferno blocks our sight On the greener side, untouched by flame And bathed in fatal light On a silent line The static speaks To remind us of our crime A body of black Hidden from sight Swallows all the light To map our place in accordance with the stars Explain and find out who we really are A lonely rock spinning round and round Switch our thoughts To bring about Inferno In this land of burning light The land aflame The sky ignites And as the flame consumes us all Even the stars will fall

For ages we have watched this land degrading The past preyed upon by falling stars Guide me home Everything is different now The land we used to know Has turned to ash Lead me down Past the trees And sink my feet Into the sand by the sea Let me go And drift away Remembering what never was In shades of grey I am old At least I feel it in my bones I remember when we were young inside And everything was black and white As the punishment for our crimes Between the permafrost and sky Cold, forever dark Ages ago we were confined We are the diseased In fields of frost I wander ever slower If there is someone out there then please Send a sign From the cliffs I see a coming storm Grey clouds collect and descend in time Lead me down To the waves Past the cliffs along the shores To the cave Light the torch And step inside Now as one we Cross this great divide I am old At least I feel it in my bones I remember when we were young inside And everything was black and white The abomination Between the permafrost and sky Cold, forever dark Ages ago we were confined We are the diseased

The storm outside Gives us all another sleepless night I hear the thunder coming To drown away All my thoughts and dreams A life in decay The clouds up high Made of black, they seem to choke the sky I see the dawn is coming Lose your soul to the winds of old And the burning cold Surrender It's all over you You know it's true Salvation Cannot save us all In time Existence in timeless night Breaks me down A disconnected mind in a world of ash And flame But now there is another way Carry these long broken wings to resting Far from the shattered shores Of time Death drives the engines of life Forever lost to the tide And as the flames consume us all Even the stars will fall Are we here to watch the waves as they pass To count away another day our lives on a track Now we walk on shattered shores Hoping, searching for something more Ever closer to the edge Surrender It's all over you You know it's true Salvation Cannot save us all What's to become of me Imagine life with light Life beyond the night Take solace in the hope We get out alive The lie The storm has brought the rain But the ash still remains For we are the damned Forever lost In time Upon these broken shores Death drives the engines of life Forever lost to the tide And as the flames consume us all Even the stars will fall Even the stars will fall I hear the winter's call

Summersong 05:40
The frost Frozen plains of despair Forever lost The air Old as we wander Tragic Through the glare So this is how my story ends Here in the twilight of our time With the hope The sun will rise Lifting the fog clearing the sky Before night I am the one who searches for life In the dark regions of night Blood, snow, and ice In the vast and empty expanse The sun will rise Into the night Falling alone Through the darkness and the light Tragedy guides me As I fall Into the nightmares Once a comfort During sleep A bittersweet melody divide I'll see you in memory's eyes Before I return to the tide Sing a new summersong And make it last Before we're gone Riding forever through the grey Lost forever in time The storm will bring the rain Bit by bit Melting the snow away The winds of old Sweeping air Carry the scent of the spring Across plains of despair

Starfall 04:07
Please provide the spark a ray of guiding light I cannot find the path in endless night The map I held decays We're all infected Despair Growing, bending, breaking down The sky The light will blind us all Seek the shade of somewhere else Somewhere new A cover light cannot get through We thought it was the time To make our way out from the dark The steepest climb We are all one Under the shining sun Cold and dark grip our minds Until the ending of night And a sign of its passing We go Back home Past the dying stars Light is gone til our eyes Glimpse the ending of night And our hope falls crashing Please remind me there are brighter days ahead I need to rewrite this bitter end The blood is leaving these shattered hands The snow has become The red of the sun The stars are falling down Streaming through the endless night One more time Now we breathe our final sigh In shadows we reside Traitors of the darkened sky A million suns will die

Deep inside the heart of the frozen night And in the midst of frost bound waves We make our home Tearing away Breaking apart another hopeless day Fields of grey in our eyes Vision set in black and white From the cliffs I see a coming storm Grey clouds collect and descend in time In accordance with the wearing of the waves Rewrite this land and begin again Existence in timeless night Breaks me down A disconnected mind in a world of ash And flame But now there is another way Carry these long broken wings to resting Far from the shattered shores Of time Are we here to watch the waves as they pass To count away another day Our lives on a track Reconnect with something more Dismiss despair and explore Ever closer to the edge Now all the hate inside comes rushing out Forever alone on the journey home A broken life pieced together once again Lifting me up, from out of this endless hell Paint the sky with flame And burn this life away A new beginning Borne from the past's remains Come night The storm will bring the rain To wash all the ash away From chaos and an eternal night Comes life Before the end we see This is not what we believe

We have survived all on our own With none in our way I have seen many winters Before this day Wide The Earth opens below Watch as it falls Rape the land, tear it away Payment reclaimed on this day Hills rise and steppes they shift Trembling the Earth at our feet Into the chasm we fall Downwards end our deceit Mountains they crumble below Oceans wash them away Into the chasm we fall Downwards into the grey This our downfall And so it has passed With
