LIGHT AMONG SHADOWS LYRICS

1. An Intimate Voyage Toward Extinction

2. A Frozen Heart

Welcome back to the land of infinite cold
You must leave your old life behind
This frosted soil's malign

Relentless
Hopeless to stop the ice
But I need you to
Free me, break the ice apart
Set free my soul and my frozen heart

An eternity
Far away from mankind
An eternity
In this ice confined

Relentless
Hopeless to stop the ice
But I need you to
Free me, break the ice apart
Set free my soul and my frozen heart
When the stars align
Your adamant will shall break the ice

I might gleam
But look inside
My heart's so fragile
In the hailstorm
Our souls will entwine

There's no hope
'Cause without this cold
I will die
Take my hand
One last touch
Before our last goodbye

Relentless
Hopeless to stop the ice
But I need you to
Free me, break the ice apart
Set free my soul and my frozen heart
When the stars align
Your adamant will shall break the ice

3. The Loneliest Road

She woke up in a long forgotten world
A place where time was frozen

The nightmares she had left behind
The day turned into night

There's no way out
Embrace this island
There's no way out
Give me your hand
There's no way out
Rise up and stand up
There's no way out
You're now one of us

On this lonely road
She was walking alone
On this lonely road
Until the end of the world

The avatar of a long forsaken god
Worshipped by shipwreck survivors
A sacrifice of flesh and blood
The power to control the storm

There's no way out
Embrace this island
There's no way out
Give me your hand
There's no way out
Rise up and stand up
There's no way out
You're now one of us

On this lonely road
She was walking alone
On this lonely road
Until the end of the world

A legacy of warriors clad in gold
Dormant before their lord
They woke up from their eternal sleep
No mercy they would feel

There's no way out
Embrace this island
There's no way out
Give me your hand
There's no way out
Rise up and stand up
There's no way out
You're now one of us

On this lonely road
She was walking alone
On this lonely road
Until the end of the world

4. Don't Look Back

I can't help but smile in the dark of night
You're the light that guides me
And I don't care if the world
Crumbles down around me

Come with me
Face all your dreams
Come with me
Embrace eternity

Don't look back
You have found your way
Look at the truth in your heart

No more pain
You're not lead astray
Now you can seize the day

Your true essence lies unchanged
By the scars of your past
The tide is gone after the storm
So lost is not your hope

Come with me
Face all your dreams
Come with me
Embrace eternity

Don't look back
You have found your way
Look at the truth in your heart

5. Deep Blue Sea

You won't find her on any map
True things never are

Sail on
Row together

Seamen, come hear my pain

This vast deep blue sea
The final quest of my life
To hunt down that white beast

I can clearly see
The whiteness of the whale
As nature, God or fate

Driven by waves of hate
Harpooners, you brave men
It's me or her, it's our fate

Where lies the final port
Whence we unmoor no more?

Deadly seas
God may keep thee

All things on earth
Can be undone
By madness of men

Seamen, come hear my pain

This vast deep blue sea
The final quest of my life
To hunt down that white beast

I can clearly see
The whiteness of the whale
As nature, God or fate

Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide under water, treacherously hidden beneath the loveliest tints of azure. Consider also the devilish brilliance and beauty of many of its most remorseless tribes, as the dainty embellished shape of many species of sharks. Consider the universal cannibalism of the sea; all whose creatures prey upon each other, carrying on eternal war since the world began.

Consider all this; and then turn to the docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself? For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half-known life. God keep thee! Push not off from that isle, thou canst never return!
[Extracted from Moby Dick by Herman Melville]

This long quest is about to end
Destiny awaits

Sail on
Row together

Seamen, come hear my pain

This vast deep blue sea
The final quest of my life
To hunt down that white beast

I can clearly see
The whiteness of the whale
As nature, God or fate

6. Under The Waves

Every time I close my eyes
I know you're right there
Guarding my every move

Your deeds spoke louder than your words
Your ship could finally reach the shore

Like a promise written in the sand
I'm waiting for the waves to come

Don't let me go
Just hold my hand tight
Don't let me go

And after all I found you
Where all my memories were put down to sleep
A forlorn place under the waves of the sea

Anywhere I go I hear
The sound of your voice
But I know you're not there

From you so many things I learnt
You gave me all your inner strength
You taught me how to face the tide
To fight until the end of time

Don't let me go
Just hold my hand tight
Don't let me go

And after all I found you
Where all my memories were put down to sleep
A forlorn place under the waves of the sea

7. Leaves In The Wind

Open your eyes and you'll see
You've reached your goal
In your hands you hold the key
To unlock the door

All that time
All those days
All the years we let go by

Where are the dreams we left behind?
Where's our inner child?
We are nothing but leaves in the wind
Leaves in the wind

We walk through life
With just a smile

As seasons go by
The wheel keeps turning
Hand in hand on our path
We keep on walking

All that time
All those days
All the years we let go by

Where are the dreams we left behind?
Where's our inner child?
We are nothing but leaves in the wind
Leaves in the wind

That cold water at your feet
That summer night breeze
You could smell the salty sea
Tender memories

All that time
All those days
All the years we let go by

Where are the dreams we left behind?
Where's our inner child?
We are nothing but leaves in the wind
Leaves in the wind

8. Winter Of The World

After so long many crossroads
The flame of love is now gone

I can see it's the time for us to say goodbye
We've run out of time

You turned my world so cold
What were we searching for?
We just can't find our way

It's the end of the road
This path that now I loathe
You're the winter of my world

I was so wrong
Now I'm not lost 'cause
I'm not blindfold anymore

Let me go, it's the time for us to say goodbye
We've run out of time

You turned my world so cold
What were we searching for?
We just can't find our way

It's the end of the road
This path that now I loathe
You're the winter of my world

Why can't you see now?
I gave you everything
But you do not care
You never cared at all

You never loved me
Despised everything we've done
You're what I don't want
You're the winter of my world

You turned my world so cold
What were we searching for?
We just can't find our way

It's the end of the road
This path that now I loathe
You're the winter of my world

9. Do You Remember The Monsters

Deep in the corners of your mind
Fear is beating every night
A hideous creature lurks under your bed
Terror fills your head

You can't sleep
Late at night
Look for the light

Take care of me
Like you did when we were just kids
Make me feel safe
Just hold my hand
I fear the shadows on the walls

The oldest emotion of mankind
Is the terror that grows up inside
The fear of the unknown is something
You have felt before

You can't sleep
Late at night
Look for the light

Take care of me
Like you did when we were just kids
Make me feel safe
Just hold my hand
I fear the shadows on the walls

The dreadful night comes
The room is overrun by loneliness
Rain drops tapping on the glass
Monsters on the walls

Take care of me
Like you did when we were just kids
Make me feel safe
Just hold my hand
I fear the shadows on the walls

10. A Survivor Is Born

A famous explorer once said that the extraordinary is in what we do, not who we are. I'd finally set out to make my mark; to find adventure. But instead adventure found me. In our darkest moments, when life flashes before us, we find something. Something that keeps us going. Something that pushes us. Some kind of light among shadows.

[Extract from Tomb Raider, by Crystal Dynamics and Square – Enix]

11. Into The Storm

Far we hear a thunder roar
The night lurks upon us
The rain starts to fall
And there's no sight of land

Hundreds of sailors lost their lives
Their ships never found, wrecked into the night

Dark clouds embracing the open sea
None of us could imagine the nightmare
We're sailing in

Searching for an ancient kingdom
No one could ever find
A wonderland long forgotten
Lost in the tides of time

Terrible sea creatures infest these seas
Warp tentacles rising right before me

If we want to survive
We have to leave it all behind

Dark clouds embracing the open sea
None of us could imagine the nightmare
We're sailing in

Searching for an ancient kingdom
No one could ever find
A wonderland long forgotten
Lost in the tides of time

It's all so calm around me
Only waves I can see
There's no one left after the storm
On these seas I'm lost

Dark clouds embracing the open sea
None of us could imagine the nightmare
We're sailing in

Searching for an ancient kingdom
No one could ever find
A wonderland long forgotten
Lost in the tides of time

12. In The Dark Of Dreams

Every night I'm haunted by those eyes
They won't fade away
No escape
From the guilt that I must face in this place

For a moment they were still here
It's nothing but a vivid dream
A dreamer in a world of loss
A universe of grief

Infinite futures found an end
My world turned into death

In the dark of dreams
You stay away from me
As far as you can to be free
Unforgotten sins
Everlasting memories
In the dark of dreams

There is something common in every loss
The downfall of oneself
A dark wander without end

The past behind is a like hole you just try to run from
It is like looking down into the grave of your eternal love

Infinite futures found an end
My world turned into death

In the dark of dreams
You stay away from me
As far as you can to be free
Unforgotten sins
Everlasting memories
In the dark of dreams

13. Blood And Thunder: A Story To Chill The Bones

[Act I]

For all my life
I've been looking for the way to control life
If God can, why can't I?
Why did you have to die?

I'll spend all my time
I need to find out the secrets of life
An arcane path to create life
With my own hands

Robbing graves
Late at night, walk away from the light
You'll rise up, from the dark
I know that now there's no way back

I'll spend all my time
I need to find out the secrets of life
An arcane path to create life
With my own hands

Forever you will be by my side
Don't be afraid to die
Embrace your new eternal life

Now wake up my little child
Get up and open your eyes
Welcome home, creature mine
It's time to leave the dark behind

I've woken up just to see
Fear and hate in your face
The black is gone
But my self is growing darker than before

Creature from hell
There's no place for you
Among living men
You gave me my life
And left me to die
Please, who am I?

Forever you will be by my side
Don't be afraid to die
Embrace your new eternal life

You were meant to be
A vessel of hope
A creature of light
A brand new dawn

You turned out to be
A creature from Hell
There's no good in you
Only despair

Curse this hateful day
When I received life
My creator turned
From me in disgust

Do not cry for me
Don't shed any tears
If I can't have love
I will 'cause fear

[Act II]

Mother I just need someone to love
'Cause I just can't bear to be alone

We shall be monsters
Far from this world
Attached to each other in pure love

I have love in me the likes of which
You haven't
You haven't ever seen

I have rage in me the likes of which
You wouldn't
You would never believe

Now look at me
I will not give you what you crave
What can I do?
You were born with a dreadful fate

Forever you will be by my side
Don't be afraid to die
Embrace your new eternal life

Now they're all dead
I have to escape
Escape from you

You will not sleep at night again
For you know I'm coming for you

[Act III]

Lives may come and go but don't
Let madness doom us all

I'm waiting for but one event and then
I shall repose in peace.

The ending of my tale will come
Bring salvation to you all

Listen to me. I have spent six years planning this, my entire fortune. I will not be stopped by you or some phantom. There is a passage to the North Pole and I will find it.

At the cost of your own life? The lives of your crew?

Lives come and go. If we succeed, our names will live on forever. I will be hailed as the benefactor of our species.

You're wrong. I, of all men, know that.

How ignorant I was
Thinking I could lecture God
In flames we both shall burn tonight
It is the fate that I have earned

I'll spend all my time
I need to find out the secrets of life
An arcane path to create life
With my own hands

Forever you will be by my side
Don't be afraid to die
Embrace your new eternal life
