1. From Dusk...

[Instrumental]

2. Fate Escape

We witness as the sun fires dance on the water
As the last beams of daylight slowly fade away
Like theatre of tragedy plays the last drama of salvation
Its beauty sealed in this last farewell

It started here and here it all shall end
Before the flaming waters we say our last goodbyes
Escape the fate that's written in haze
A lifetime since

Slowly into the waves she steps turning to me
Right before ocean swallows...
Now I am to follow and find her again from the other side

Wind has turned northwards
It cuts the dreaming mind
I suddenly realise the time has past for me to go
Sun warms the sand beneath my feet but cannot reach the screaming heart
For it has lost its other half

It started here and here it all shall end
Before the flaming waters we say our last goodbyes
Escape the fate that's written in haze
A lifetime since

Storm starts to stir the see
Like mesmerized I am bound to watch
As ocean opens the jaws of death
Repeating scene flashing in my numb mind
A drowning face at the mercy of that fierce whirlwind

She made the leap the fate escape
We thought would bring us together
But for my graveness she has gone alone
I feel the uncontrollable guilt cutting my sense
Offering relief with words of madness
Which I cannot deny

3. Game of Shadows

Simplify the purpose
To match the primeval level
There is but need that longs for fulfillment
Put aside those fine emotions
You just hunger fear and then you die
There is no greater calling in this game

How to preserve the sparkle to endure the changing winds
How long can one go against the grain
Until those bases cease to exist

Fall into the game of shadows
Where all devotion is ripped apart
Invite the cold inside you
To survive the relentless night

So you are still here
Running around in this endless maze
No so-called friend beside you
Only cooling trail of death behind
You are reborn
You threw off the compassion along the way
You hunger and you fear

How to preserve the sparkle to endure the changing winds
How long can one go against the grain
Until those bases cease to exist

Fall into the game of shadows
Where all devotion is ripped apart
Invite the cold inside you
To survive the relentless night

Fall into the game of shadows
Where all devotion is ripped apart
Invite the cold inside you
To survive the relentless night

Every minute awaken or asleep I see
The shining seaside before me
I fool myself to believe
There is the end of the game for me

4. The Last Crossing

My back towards the south
I stand amidst the dusk
The memory of the southern sun in mind
A cold broadsword in my frostbitten hands
Slowly raising the blade to make my final stand
Dozen pairs of hungry eyes
Like blazing gems of bloodlust
They stare at me
Their howls fill the sky
Locked in a stalemate as the sunlight fades away
Before the trees devour the light I see the beastly claws

Too tired to run, too frozen to flee
No funeral pyres to send me on my way

No shining sun, no silvery light from above
As I prepare to meet my last true test
Their growls and howling echo across the frozen woodlands
It's not 'me or them'
It's how many beasts I can take with me

Swinging the blade against a furious storm black claws
A flurry of fur and snow rages all around me
Their teeth dig deep but I can't feel the pain
My body's gone numb while crossing this icy plain
I feel it's closing as more wolves join the hunt
Our blood paints the scenery with every single bite
I drop down on my knees in to the blood-red snow
I drive my steel into the ice and unleash my defiant howl

Too tired to run, too frozen to flee
No funeral pyres to send me on my way

No shining sun, no silvery light from above
As I prepare to meet my last true test
Their growls and howling echo across the frozen woodlands
It's not 'me or them'
It's how many beasts I can take with me

5. Where Fires Burn Frozen

Red light in the distance
Cuts through the calming dusk
The awakening of the sleeping mind is at hand
The setting is dead silence
Like calm before the storm
And slowly it begins
The low roar from below

The skyline breaks in thousand flames
As fire and brimstone shoot up high
Skywards

I hold out my hand to reach the light
As I witness the rise
The rise of the Tempest of Doom
I shall be the first to ride with you
To eternity and beyond
Where flames burn frozen
And time begins from the end

Open eyes the mind is running away
In to the bottomless pit
White straitjacket and a wall-less room
No air to breathe in
I am falling, fading,
Losing sight of my destiny
I must move towards the fire
Scream now for the red light to break the chain

The skyline breaks in thousand flames
As fire and brimstone shoot up high
Skywards

I hold out my hand to reach the light
As I witness the rise
The rise of the Tempest of Doom
I shall be the first to ride with you
To eternity and beyond
Where flames burn frozen
And time begins from the end

6. Starforge

Weapon forged in heat of a supernova
From the relics of a dying star
A piece of God decent on human hands
Claimed by the highborn
On a mission to seek the deep dark
Cosmic fields of unknown

Starlight shines through dimensions
Singing secrets of the universe

Star forged in metal
With divinity sealed within
Cybernetic solid machine of destruction
Wings of freedom cut through time
As the hammer draws the line
And silver veins explode in thousand flames

Weapons loaded the system is set to attack
Energies are gathering the night is being revealed
They crawled from the intergalactic pits
To harvest a new world
They all got judged by the Forge

Starlight shines through dimensions
Singing secrets of the universe

Star forged in metal
With divinity sealed within
Cybernetic solid machine of destruction
Wings of freedom cut through time
As the hammer draws the line
And silver veins explode in thousand flames

7. Six Soldiers Stand

Life hangs by a thin thread
Just waiting for the final cut
We are moving forward pushing through
Deep in the enemy line
Our mission clear minds focused
To forthcoming assault into the heart of fire
Every men determined to bring the pain

They chose to leave not to return
Six men of war
They chose to face the flame
To burn in glory
Wicked smile on the lips of a man
When walking into the fire
Face to face with his own demise
He goes with laughter in his eyes

The scars of war are depicted in their firm faces
Deep darkness hidden in their hungry eyes
They were chosen for they have nothing to lose and no fear of death

Guns loaded we are ready to dance
Just put your filth forth
There is no solace in a song of a heavy machine gun
Ground is trembling as the six are marching on
Punishing the resistance
We are closing our end
And the hell will be unleashed

After nightfall the glimmer of dawn cuts the silence
Revealing piles of bodies which on the top there six soldiers stand

They chose to leave not to return
Six men of war
They chose to face the flame
To burn in glory
Wicked smile on the lips of a man
When walking into the fire
Face to face with his own demise
He goes with laughter in his eyes

8. Final Embrace

Face to face, eye to eye on the battlefield
One more nameless face to feel the kiss of steel
Feeling no remorse as the spark dies in his eyes
Just cut the blade out of his chest and watch him die

Blood will spill more before this night has ended
Grief will fill hearts of new widows by the new dawn
Nothing left but echoes of those dying screams

Do you dare to dance with me
And witness the beauty of your end
Those final moments when your destiny is concealed
Knowing that my eyes will be the last
Sight that you'll ever see in this world
Do not feel sorrow no more fear to lose your ground
I have set your free in this final embrace

Pale sun rises as afraid to look upon this ground
Scared to reveal remains his sister has left behind
Light is delusion for I know the secrets hidden in the dark
I turn away and hear the wind whisper..

Blood will spill more before this night has ended
Grief will fill hearts of new widows by the new dawn
Nothing left but echoes of those dying screams

Do you dare to dance with me
And witness the beauty of your end
Those final moments when your destiny is concealed
Knowing that my eyes will be the last
Sight that you'll ever see in this world
Do not feel sorrow no more fear to lose your ground
I have set your free in this final embrace

9. Bloodfeather

It feels like time doesn't exist
When playing with the strings of life
A gracious song
All the fruits of joy so sweet
Just before it bursts into ecstasy
We are sworn here forever

Oh, how we drank from the fountain of life
And laughed at decease
How we have danced along the music of immortality
Tune of a distant violins playing remains within
Those phrases are dark tears of bloodstained desire

We have past the point of remorse
When reaching stars
Through Gates of Salvation
To the Temple of Dominion
Escape from shades of light

Drunk driven rush
The frozen moment
Your face in the silver moonlight
So perfect so divine
This fragile moment seems to last for a lifetime
It's beauty piercing my tangled mind

Then the cold awakening
Blood piercing feathered fantasy
Silence scream preserved behind the red lips

Oh, how we drank from the fountain of life
And laughed at decease
How we have danced along the music of immortality
Tune of a distant violins playing remains within
Those phrases are dark tears of bloodstained desire

10. Dementia

I've been here forever
It seems I've lost my way somewhere in time
Where are the words I used to speak
And the face I used to call into my dreams
Gone like the first autumn rain

There is a void inside me
That weeps for sorrow unknown
Like a hopeless song
I cannot define sealing doors in my mind

Like a ghost in this strange play of life
I haunt in the halls of my own house alone
Out of date
Dancing with moonlight not knowing why
Following the red carpet line into the room
Where two beds are lying untouched, unused

As dawning breaks twilight
Shade of an old man appears
Standing next to the bed
Staring somewhere only he can see

It kills to grief something you don't have a story for
Memories are but fragmented pictures and undefined emotions
Who I was who I am now

I do not hate I do not pity myself
I am worn out and cast away I am resigned
To watch as time takes the rest of me
For there is so little left to take

Like a ghost in this strange play of life
I haunt in the halls of my own house alone
Out of date
Dancing with moonlight not knowing why
Following the red carpet line into the room
Where two beds are lying untouched, unused

A flash of light reveals the darkness
It's like a heavy weight is lifted of my chest
Hazy wall is gone and those memories are clear
Finally I identify the face
I have craved all this time
She's been there waiting for me

11. To Eternity

[Instrumental]
