1. The Way Forging the future from the timeless stone Oh let me know how far I can go Answering the questions thet no one ever asks Float through the sea of madness And face the everlasting task So lonely to wander So sad to be alone In the mist of the unknown Trying to fool myself with dreams that never come true So hard to stand my ground Never again will I fail Chorus: Will you tell me not to wait Tell me to live for today As the flowers wither I will forget my pain Since the stars have shone The devil has shown me the way Chorus2. Morning Star You live only for yourself Or send your soul to the heaven's grace Been weak as the autumn leaves Or strong as the growing seed Swallowed into the black Search for entrace Chorus: Wathc to the eyes of morning star Beckon for the savior But it's much too far Reach for the infinity The only thing that remains is decay 3. Nightfall As a rot to rape the spring sown seed A plague sprang forth of his tracks Churns ran red when cows milked blood And famine cracked poor backs Who would hear a lament sad Under the bright blue sky That's sung in hovels dark and low With eyes too weak to cry Chorus: But horror be the nightfall's gloom For the man upon the road When moon doth laugh at worthless lives Twice hard for all promise showed Empty stare upon his face Nine fathoms deep He set upon the road again On ground that bears no seed 4. Tuonela Sorrow is my bread And tears I drink as wine Oblivion my happiness Ground under teeth of time For cold be the stone When frost ve devoured the land Consolation is no gift Of winter's icy hand Chorus: Upon a crust of snow I'll lay my broken frame What steel and iron won't take I'll give in winter's name No good a sullen sout no use a simple knave No groom for brides of plaited hair This man old and lame If only I could breathe To see the sun of may but still longer are the nigths than days As I wither away Came the man of crown With sound of war drums beat Said no sword arm's strong enough Without my two good feet Chorus But not overlooked am I In eyes of the maid I'll wed I'll reap the crops of Tuonela My bride's wealth in death 5. Greed Not thirsty am I for the blood Of redeemer of thy greed My hunger can't be satisfied With flesh of thy nazarene No gilded streets of heaven's grace Entice me in thy speech No holy mother doth condone All your pillage war and greed But know thee that all oceans worth Of waters turned holy Won't change the course of river That runs inside of me My blood flows ever skyward And pools where thy black is white For woulst thou not carme at my soul With sword of thy supreme truth Strike me down on my bended knees For thy baptism so soothe My blood flows ever skywawrd And pools where thy black is white Alone am I to raise my head In the starless forest night 6. Divinity Last day brings the grace For bearers of forbidden name Step into five fold mace As son as father in a frame Chorus: Someday fire wipes the rain Fears are frozen tears whisper Things that no one heras Cry now, cry now for me again Tomorrows pride and pain Why you kneel before my name Crushing my belief And make shape to my relief For who you set your prayers I can't hear them anyway Chorus 7. Shining My soul is bleeding I feel so small Afraid that this will never end I can't understand the pain in my bones I sleep through another trance Climb over the rainbow From here you can see so much I need someone to take me down But who can you trust Chorus: Got so many things to say But it's something I don't wanna be Gotta get away case it's time to shine Like a fallen angel I run I won't ever see the sun See the circle is now complete Yet the harvest remains undone Where hemlock grows and vermin crowl All dreams descend with fear Crushed by the darkness that wells inside That beast I hold so dear 8. Withered Withered be the flower Long past it's prime and bloom Forgotten on the stony bed This silent hillside tomb For coppered be the grip Of this wooded land A crude cold gauntlet Hides the boney hand Tears once warmed the ground Torn out of eyes that could cry no more Compassion for the wind to take O doth pity the bastard poor A life of misery and hate Upon a chance a twist of fate The poison from the goblet ran Down the throat of her drunken man 9. Rusty Moon Bahted in the rust of moon Is the death beds lullaby Sung so softly with the stars Reflected in her eyes Chorus: It's the blaze that beckons men Into the woods, of beaten path Is the sight of the fire that No maiden's eyes should have Iron does as iron's told And drinks of life's red gold But shame won't leave with dying breathe The life that wants it's own death And the forest hums its silent hymn Heard by those of solitude As mist it wells Up the brook's dark banks Bewitched by there fir woods Chorus 10. Summer's End In the morning mist by the waning moon through the woods she set on foot With a sacred blade cut the berries down Dug up the dreaded mandrake root Chorus: Tread my path to summer's end This bequest I leave you she says You will see what could be evergreen Turn to copper and fade to gray By the standing stones Atropine eyes smiled at me Sitting in a sluggish vertigo Sands of time form another dream No love without sacrifice No lige springs without decay The final kiss is a wormy one In soils cold caress to rest we'll lay
