In the world of Awya, where cities are scattered across isles in a seemingly endless ocean called the Black Waters, an umyn boy by the name of Amory Demshen is unable to suppress the insatiable longing to explore Tempertime Cemetery—a place forbidden to those without proper training and knowledge. After a spryth guides the boy to a realm that links the isles of Awya together, he is thrust into the dreadful role of collecting Spirits by the beguiling Mr. Grey Pearl. To be successful at collecting spirits, Frin, the boy's collecting jar, leads him throughout the Apocryphalum to gather the necessary tools. Powerful beings, potent magic, fantastical creatures, and hidden agendas await Amory at every turn as he spirals deeper and deeper into the darkness of the spirit collectors.

Lyrics

VERSE 1

[Sharkchild/(Bizuhll in the background)]
The deepest love requires grace washing the sands of the careless mistakes.
I’ll prove to you that wounds can heal, but for now I will take all the pain.

[Chrymiq]
Remember the first the time you reached the stars.
Remember the flames as you burned your scars.
Erupt anew and bury your fears.
Remember the way that you soared through time.
Remember the glory that from you shined.
Embrace this life of vast frontiers.

CHORUS
[Hypnitium/Sharkchild together]

[Hypnitium]
Take my hand, I’ll lead you to forever again.
You will feel it: the sensation of hope.
Together, we’ll overcome the impossible.
You will feel it: the sensation of great hope.

[Sharkchild]
Beyond the ashes the soul lay whole.
Beyond the ashes the soul is full.

VERSE 2

[Sharkchild/(Bizuhll in the background)]
Everytime I see your face, I have visions of this place that the glows of dreams replace.
There’s no reason not to believe that from your hells you are freed.
By my side you will succeed.

[Chyrmiq]
Remember the first time you conquered worlds.
Remember the awe as your power unfurled.
Hold your heart and never let go.
Remember the voids that detest your eyes.
Remember the births that you gave design.
Release your past and let faith flow.

CHORUS

BRIDGE

[Sharkchild/Wawlwerk]
Hope will give you the light from the sun to scorch all the ages but one.
It is there that you’ll see and find wisdom to rise and learn knowledge of how death...

[Sharkchild]
Dies.

[Moxhege]
The dominion of hope.

Lyrics

VERSE 1

[Wawlwerk/Sharkchild]
Lay your hands on me.
Lay your touch upon the curves that shape me.
Lay your head on me.
Lay your dreams along the realms that propel the future of us.
Lay your warmth on me.
Lay your flames across the skies that I see.
Lay your breath in me.
Lay your life beside the promise that holds us in the now.

CHORUS
[Moxhege/Sharkchild together]

[Moxhege]
All, all that I need in this life is your light to guide me beyond the galaxy’s night;
Lead me, fill me, thrill me with your cosmic light.

[Sharkchild]
All that I need is your heart—your arms around me.
And all that I need is your light, your light.

VERSE 2

[Wawlwerk/Sharkchild]
Lay your words on me.
Lay your spell upon the walls within me.
Lay your time for me.
Lay your age aside and let your soul be free for all of eternity.

CHORUS

BRIDGE

[Chrymiq]
And everything you say you’ll do—
You’ll do it but you know it’s true:
All I need is but your love;
All I need is but your touch.
And everything you say you’ll be—
It doesn’t matter much to me.
‘Cause all I need is just your light;
All I need is but your...

[Second run just Moxhege]

LYRICS

VERSE 1

[Wawlwerk]
I see the white—the light—beyond the blackness.
I see the worlds—the truth—behind the blindness.
I see a vision of a realm that has never been conceived.
Inside the dark where all the spirits are asleep I will thief.

[Moxhege]
I hold the power—a force—that forever fights.
I hold the whisper—the secret—of uncanny sights.
I hold the key to a place that has never been perceived.
Inside the dark where all the spirits are asleep I believe.

CHORUS

[Wawlwerk]
Escape time.

[Bizuhll]
Transcend into darkness.

[Wawlwerk/Bizuhll]
Summon dream.

VERSE 2

[Moxhege]
I am the spark—the engine—of pure creation.
I am the fire—the wreaking—of fierce emotion.
I am the behemoth of sorcery within your longings.
Inside the dark where all the spirits are asleep I will stir.

[Bizuhll]
I am the vessel—the vortex—of works eternal.
I am the chaos—the reeling—of thoughts immortal.
I am the retribution burning at the end of madness.
Inside the dark where all the spirits are asleep I devour.

CHORUS

BRIDGE

[Sharkchild/Chrymiq]
Conceal your eyes; embrace the divining.
Leave your mind and herald imagining.
Conceal your eyes; embrace the divining.

[Chrymiq]
Unforgettable sights to see.

[Sharkchild/Chrymiq]
Leave your mind and herald imagining.

[Hypnitium]
Journey into darkness.

[Sharkchild]
Only where reality is lost and unhindered thought is quickened
Can the truest blade of conception be forged.
And where this blade pierces
Neither feet may tread nor eyes may see.
Go further now inside the dark and find prismatic eternity.

[Wawlwerk]
Escape time.
Summon dream.

CHORUSx2

[Wawlwerk]
Escape time.

[Sharkchild/Bizuhll]
Transcend into darkness.

[Sharkchild/Wawlwerk/Bizuhll]
Summon dream.
