A dream of dancers holding tight
Escaping, fearless worlds in sight
Alive and soon, no longer blind
Out of the gloom emerges a mind
Breathing, heaven’s breath fell down to earth
And deep, deepest shadows given birth
Heart and hand discover land footsteps in this blackened sand
All the truths I’ve known before, fade above an endless shore
I travelled through ages
While the clockwork counted seconds of demise
On earth, the time went on
I’m recreated in the twingkling of an eye
Here on the edge I gather
Into black and purple nether
There, fragmented, the island flies
And bit by bit, I realize
This journey ain’t over
(Chorus)
BACK TO LIFE, AWOKEN, YET I’M DEAD
I TRAVELLED ALONG WITH MY SECRET LIES
VOID WITHIN, I STUMBLE ACROSS THE EDGE
TO TRAVEL THE ISLAND ONCE AGAIN
(Bridges)
If I’m alive, then why did I stop breathing?
My lungs inhaled the bitter sea
And while my mind adapts to ancient nightmares
My heart refuses to believe
On to the bridge
Entities slowly unveiling
Raised up and pitched
As I left behind the sea I was sailing
Backbone fools the araising
As he stumbles to the ground
Night sky is dead
Where the shining's beauty's been is now nothing
Darkness and thread
But my feet, they are longing for cleansing
Bridge tower in the distance
God, are you laughing as I attempt?

The Bridgemaster

Janus is abstracted
And his departed lungs are spitting flies
Monstrous stands the bridgeway
And it bawls as the bulwark comes alive
In wild dreams of life on the light side
His hands turn the crank at last
Sir, you are strange yet a well-known
Grey silhouette of your past
Traveler, on your journey
Follow through, you shall see and
You shall learn
Go on, end your voyage
Bring the child, may you pass then
On your return
Denied
What’s the world waiting out there
What will you make me seek
I take a step on the bridgeway
Flee rom this man so bleak
(Chorus)
TRYING TO FORSAKE HIM WITHOUT SOUND
WITHOUT HEART TOWARDS THE EDGE
I PUSH MY CRAVING TO THE GROUND
As he locks the door to the outside
Come undone the path that led me here
I feel the ride will be restless
My bones are tired but matured
I move on and ascend to the apex
(un)til the void reveals a distant stage
I see light, I see life, I see reason
A city flying and drifting
(On – to .- the bridge…)
Traveler! Remember my words
(Chorus)

City
02:21
|

What do I see, a waiting gate?
The isle is drawing close to me
Light ascends from urban soil
It’s falling from the edges
Those meadows I step on
So thrilling, yet mellow
Colored dresses on the streets
The music and the voices
Heaven sent, a lady’s hand
She’s gonna leave no choices
This image, so vivid
We’re dancers to dream it
I follow without fear
For she is always on my side

Monster
04:52
|

Coming straight from the gates of hell
The mask, it made a monster out of me
On the edge of waste and thousand lakes
In your glass, oh my heart it shakes
Time to steel our sleep, kill the counted sheep
Oh! This taste is just too real
Need no mindful truth, trust me – let in ruth
Damage! But such a pleasure to me
(Chorus)
Straight out of hell, it comes
To veil our minds in smoke
On the way to make our lives complete
Tell your tales, you traveler from afar
But in this place, it’s all forgotten past
Trust my words, let’s take that ride with you
So you know, you need it as I do
Let us stide along, side by side
Over the isle! Could you imagine more?
Lady I’m afraid: Will this drink pervade?
I see it! Your eye’s already burning
(Chorus 2)
Now, it invades our minds in rage
It’s just alright and the way
It’s meant to be, so bright
(Interlude)
You’re broken down to nothing
Yet blind and innocent, out of luck
Let’s turn this void into something
But wasn’t all your past drug?
Lady, broken mirror
I cope as long as you stay alive
But there’s a thought that tells me
This drink won’t lead us to the light
Raise it! Consume it!
And get the fuckin’ flash
Need to redeem it
It’s taking over my flesh
Boosting pulses through our nerves
Turning our cells into rage mode
Night and day alike
FUCK!

I dreamed of dancers holding tight
Escaping, fearless worlds in sight
In my dreams, they’re passing by
Now realizing they could fly
Breathing, heaven’s breath falls down to earth
And deepest shadows given birth
Lonely soldier, sorrow’s child
Take my hand and trip the wild
All the truths you’ve known before
Fade above an endless shore
Come wells so wild to take me away
Is this end of my precious time?
(Chorus)
WHEN THE NIGHT SHINES IN
AND THE DAY HAS FOUND ESCAPE
YOUR BREATH CREATES THE DARKNESS
DREAMCATCHER DOWN AND LEAD
THE TWILIGHT THROUGH MY VEINS
‘TILL I GET LOST IN THE SPIRAL IN YOUR EYES
I found forgiveness, I found pride
And now, the fearless world's in sight
I never felt this way of being lonesome
But I fear to ask for reason
Come waves so wild and take me away
Now, give my heart back
Come on! We’re all flies on a window
Failing to pass through
And without moon and moth to guide us
We’re taking the ride by ourselves
Tomb stones from the desert
Footsteps to her grave
Black mouth hallucination
Crow flocks will encase
I am the flickering mind
To the core, fully orchestrated
Mine is your weakening light
I am the darkness myself
That's why the lonely traveler fears the sun
Fear now evades as light passes
All that remains of his mind
And the might of its shine
Brings the tears in her eyes
The traveler recaptured
But slowly fading back
He's found his home in a liar's tears

Desert Shine
05:32
|

I am the lone creator
I’m building walls of sand
And all the time I’ve lost here
Is running through my hands
Of statues I’ve been dreaming
And now, I make them real
Fata Morgana rising
While the Lady stays concealed
My tread is direly heavy
Burned skin on glassy floor
The dunes detain escaping
I’m caught to roam once more
This dreamish earth allured me
But now, the mask reveals
In cruesome kind, I learened here
To see is not to feel
(Chorus)
I WANTED DISASTER
TO BE THE FATE OF MINE
I’M WANDERING IN LAUGHTER
THROUGH THE DESERT SHINE
In all this island’s journey
She was my god and faith
But the black bird flight to heaven
Was illusion all the way
Up the stairs, I tried to reach her
Been running high and brave
But in front of your Lady’s graveyard
Would you still try to save?
(Bridge)
On the island, cracks have opened
But the statues never rise
And they shine

The Mirror Cave
07:49
|

I got rejected by the island of light
It swallowed, spat me out, and left no shine behind
The mask would keep me from seeing my own face
It’s all forsaken in the haze
Through the center core of the orb I stray
Dripstone ocean into a turquoise lake
Mouth of hell, bare teeth and a dried out tongue
How my heart knew this cave all along
ALL THESE TIDES I'VE BEEN RIDING
BUT FOR NOW, I AM DROWNING IN BLAME
ALL THESE LANDS I'VE BEEN PASSING
JUST TO FIND THAT MY SEARCH IS IN VAIN
A mere reflection, a boy in the stone
Stay still, I’ll get you, I’ll let you end your fucking scorn
We’re good and evil, the same one, tame and wild
The beast is gazing now straight into the weeping eye
Of a child
Look! The child, he's there
But no, it's just reflection
How can I find out
Just who he is
As I move, he’s moving
Mirrored like a shadow
Now I feel he is the same to me
OH, THE CHILD, IS IT HIDING
SO AFRAID OF MY LOOK, WILL IT RISE
SOMEWHERE THERE IT IS STRIDING
IT'S ON ME TO MATERIALIZE
Petrified, the boy in the mirror hall
Broken man, I failed your riddle at all
Follow winds, the outside is close to me
Bridge master, I’ll pass this goblet to thee
I proceed (to) the bridge with bones beneath
I’ve been here before to fight a king
As I step on the outside, my world starts to crumble
And I feel a remorse deep in mind
There, the elder is waiting to fulfill my craving
Will he lead me the way to the child?
My son, where have you been?
