Arion (アリオン, Echoes of Distant Terra) carries a fragile soul across fading stars, a hymn of return to the lost homeland, a prayer echoing through the silence of space.

Arion (English lyric translation)
Let us return to that distant planet
Where wilted petals drift
On waters dark and deep
Back to that planet

The overflowing memories of our world are home
They live with pain, yet still remain

Arion, do not leave me behind
Take me with you through the void

Arion, now take flight
Before this body melts away

I call your name
Come, let us return to that planet

Ephemeral echoes, when the dream begins to fade
We will sail beyond the distant stars
Though sadness travels with us still

Arion, do not leave me behind
Please hear my voice

Arion, be still
Before the future disappears

In the name of love
Come, let us return to our home

The fragile memory of life, I will never let you go

Arion, do not leave me behind
Carry the two of us away

Arion, now take flight
Before tomorrow turns to ash

In the name of love
Come, let us return to our home

Arion, do not leave me behind
Take me with you once more

Arion, now take flight
Before this body melts away

I call your name
Come, let us return to that planet
Come, let us return to our home among the stars

Arion

PREMIERE: Hidden Empire - Ocean Beach [Stil vor Talent]

(Verse 1)
I reach for someone—grasping air
Empty rooms, a ghostly stare
The cold moon hangs, a frozen lie
As footsteps vanish, asking why
The walls whisper secrets I can't decode
Down a lonesome road, a heavy load

(Pre-Chorus)
Is this a dream or a cruel disguise?
The walls are breathing, I hear their sighs
Am I the ghost, or is it them?
I chase the dark, it's back again

(Chorus)
Is there a voice beyond this night?
Or am I trapped in endless quiet?
Echoes scream, but there's no reply
Just me and silence, side by side

(Verse 2)
The clock ticks slow, but time won't heal
Fading edges, nothing feels real
My thoughts unravel, a tangled knot
A thousand steps I haven't walked
Silhouettes melt into the gloom
Consuming me in this hollow room

(Pre-Chorus)
Is this a dream or a cruel disguise?
The walls are breathing, I hear their sighs
Am I the ghost, or is it them?
I chase the dark, it's back again

(Chorus)
Is there a voice beyond this night?
Or am I trapped in endless quiet?
Echoes scream, but there's no reply
Just me and silence, side by side

(Bridge)
A spark in the dark, but it burns away
Night swallows hope, turns dawn to gray
Questions hang like smoke in my chest
Is silence my curse... my final guest?

(Final Chorus)
Is there a voice beyond this night?!
Or am I trapped in endless quiet?!
Echoes screaming with no reply!
Just me and silence, 'til I die!

(Outro)
A single note, it fades to black
No map to follow, no way back
The quiet hums its hollow hymn
The void consumes, and pulls me in.

A Final Guest

WPT 025 - Track 10

Thankful For You

Verse 1
I’ve never seen the Great Wall; I’ve never been to Japan.
I’ve never seen the Eiffel Tower; it’s not part of my bucket list plan.
I don’t need to stand in line for two hours so I can see the Mona Lisa for thirty seconds.
I can see the same thing at home for free on my computer.

Chorus
I’m perfectly content to stay right here,
Living in the same place year after year.
I’m perfectly content to stay right here.

Verse 2
I don’t want to sit in a pressurized cylinder, with only a bag of peanuts to eat,
As I’m elbowed by a stranger who decides he wants to ventilate his feet.
I don’t want to go to a tourist trap and hang out with a bunch of ugly Americans.
If I want to see ugly Americans, all I’ve gotta do is step outside.

Chorus (Repeat)
I’m perfectly content to stay right here,
Living in the same place year after year.
I’m perfectly content to stay right here.

Bridge
I don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be a rambling man.
I don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be a rambling man.

Verse 3
Waking up early, rushing to the airport, to get on a crowded flight,
Trying to find space in the overhead bin and not get in a fight.
When you get there, you can’t drink the water, and the alcohol can make you go blind.
That doesn’t sound like the optimal place for a person to unwind.
You have to ration your underwear, or you’ll have to wear it inside out again for a second time.
You have to keep your money in a belt or you could be the victim of a pickpocketing crime.

Bridge (Repeat)
I don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be a rambling man.
I don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be a rambling man.
