Lyrics:

Seasons are but memories
They’re all the same now
A lie to shield us all have
Taken them away
Dye sunset patterns gray
Set fire to the
Ever nascent offence caused
From within itself

Oh, feeder of the line
Your play will make you blind
Oh, industries of time
They prayed on ruthless climb

A technological work of art
When the fire comes rising
Turn your other cheek
To the heat
While it burns you
Back to dust
And while you’re burning
You praise the men
(Burning up)
Who put you
Into the furnace
(Back to dust)
Wait for
(Feed the line)
Paradise
(Blinding play)
To reveal
(Season’s lost)
The ashes
(All the same)

Oh, feeder of the line
Your play have made you blind
Oh, if reality
Would fade, then there
Would be no need

We wrote our words
With letters so large
They could only be read
From the stars
We tried to build
Our houses with swordplay
And axes we forged
From the sunset patterns
Gray

Lyrics:

All I ever learned
I understand
All your vague attempts
I see right through
All through poisoned air
I gain my pride
And all through silver breaths
Lose it all again

And all my life
I’ll hear my own voice
Eternal echoes

Resist the lie
Discard it’s speech

For I
Have been waiting
Here a while
And all
Dreams of
My ambitions fade
Among the walls
I soon must
Set ablaze
My focus in the wrong
It ends before I…

Track: Scars

Lyrics:

I'll never get to burn
I'll never get to burn
With my head
In my hands
Through the wound
In the heart I killed

I'll never get to burn
I'll never get to burn
The moment
That cuts me again and again
Through time
Eternal time
Another life will wait
But never will I
Trust in you
I never understood
Your indirectives
I never understood
What I wanted

I'll never have it all
I'll never - never return
I'll never get to burn
Them all

Long to Forget (MIDI Demo)

Lyrics:

The color changes into shapes
And all shapes caught in the light
Have colors
Oh, the colors
Each better than the last
They find our eyes through
Our TV screens
The colors;
Things that we've never even seen
Break me down
I'm drowning in the blue

The colors
They exist for
The briefest of moments
The colors
Of the world aren't enough
For you anymore
The colors
Hold my hand
(Hold my hand)
The colors
Of your hair
(Of your hair)
Speak of all the regrets
Of a lifetime
I unfold my collar
Towards the beating rain
Summer has ended long ago
My dreams; fall covers them
In colors

The color changes
Into shapes
And suddenly I lose them again

Lyrics:

I. Disorder

(Instrumental)

II. A River

A haunted feeling
Takes me
As this life
Draws closer
Into the ending
While a river
Red flows

A snowflake
Reflects my
Everlasting
Loneliness
The price of
What I’ve done
To lie here
Fading out

Streams of my life
Gone to waste

A deeply rooted
Instinct
To run and
Cry to
Please be let
Out of this world
Be strong now
Die for me

Our lies in
Death defined
Come here now
Count me
File me in
Statistics
So that I’ll
Live forever

Dreams of my life
Gone to waste
For one moment
We are at peace

Lies in Death (MIDI Demo)

A short test I did experimenting with the influence of ambient electronic music as well as some "epic" stuff following the same chord progression or whatever you wanna call it.

Lyrics:

I. Far Beyond

I’ve always been told
I would live through time
Allow your faith
To remove your pain
A stranger’s keep inside
Without a word, for I
Never learned to hate
I never learned to fear

Yet I’m torn in two
Please, guide me
Who’s seeking light
Far beyond?
Help me figure out
Who I’ll become
Towers crumbling down
Watching me

Under whelmed
Hold at bay
Answer now
The questions
From above
Gone astray
Seeking truth
A fierce debate 
Amongst us all

Unseen force
Feel the presence
Of demons/angels
A tender voice
Deep in my mind

Still I’m torn in two
Please, guide me
Who’s seeking light
Far beyond?
Help me figure out
Who I’ll become
Towers crumbling down
Watching me
Dance, sleep
Laugh and cry

II. Outcast

I never fall
Don’t turn away
From me
I barely stand
To be the outcast

Power fading fast
My life is straight and true
I’m paying high a price
To live this way
Broken and torn apart
I feel the emptiness
I feel the doubt between
The warmth and the love

Focusing my thoughts
Around the truth now
Bury all my sorrow
In the earth
Yet I’m sinking
Like a stone

Soon I will fall
I’ll turn away
From you
I can not stand
To be the outcast

III. A Wonderful Life

I am deserted
Ready by my heart to live
The way I chose to
Living on the edge

Oh lord, see I live
Without you
A wonderful
Life again
Shine on me
Never shall
I ever walk
In your shadow
By your will

I am deserted
Fill the void of
Brothers true
With more possessions
Everything I need
This world lasts
I have found
Independency
Away from your shadow
By my will

IV. A Wonderful Life Part 2

(Instrumental)

V. The Own Heart

I followed the map
To where it said
I would be happy
To where I’d find
My place here in
The world
I conquered the map
Out to it’s edges
But now that I’m here
I know but one thing

That I don’t care at all
Finding joy in lies
No I don’t care at all

I’ll be waiting
For your light to
Ever embrace me
To take me higher
I’ll be fighting
I’m lost in the snow
I’ll be keeping
On my way home
I’ll be waiting
For my own heart
To see through to you

I’ve fought for far to long
What I know is true
Repenting my past
My life lived in fear
The one who locks the door
Is no one but you
Hide not the key
Your one way back

I’ll be waiting
For your light to
Ever embrace me
To take me higher
I’ll be fighting
I’m lost in the snow
I’ll be keeping
On my way home
I’ll be waiting
For my own heart
To guide me in time

Track: Walk Into the Light

Lyrics:

Blinded by a vision
Standing pale and hollow
It’s so gray it hurts
Showing me the vision
Tall, dark and scary
And they point at me

Made from the black
Mist of our guilt

They ask me to
Take their hand’s
And follow them
Through an asylum
For our minds

I see doors
So heavy they
Don’t require locks
And the men
Forced here and
Strapped down
To the beds
Walls are white
My footsteps
Echoing through time
We learn lies
To vague for us
To understand why

I walk with them
To seek
I walk with them
To find

And they point
With fingers torn apart
At tomorrow’s earthly shell
And I see
A former paradise
And the ghost
Of perfect man
Orange lights
A pillar rise ahead
From the towers
Marked with “what you deserve”
So alive
Amazing thoughts of men
Follows death into
His home where
No man enters with hope

So I try to
Hit the water

See the flowers
Of the wicked one
We allow them to grow
And to turn
Our wild into where
Secrets and teachings
Of stars
Are forced to spread

Voices from our
Loved ones tombs
Wasting all their
Breath
Cancer, from the
Air I breathe
Reach in for the
God inside

They open my eyes
I stand above the earth
With all of my brothers
My fingers eternal
They turn into strings
Ripping the earth apart
I’m free of the bondage
My fingers are torn

I walk alone into the light
I walk alone into the light
I walk alone into the light

Track: Not Even Close

Lyrics:

Tonight I hear
The songs of sold souls
They cry to us
As they sign on the line

I see what you are
The desperation
Time for you to know
You’re not even close

I suffer your
Selfishness each day
I discover how
Rage and greed is born

I find no apprehension

Your sounds are hollow
The desperation
Time for you to know
You’re not even close

Inception of lies
It rules us
Entwined are the songs
In a purposeful dance
Inception of lies
It rules us
Through numbers and games
They find out our names

I see what you are
The desperation
Time for you to know
You’re not even close
Silence the beast’s
Vast decisions
Time for you to know
You’re not even close
