A Candle For The Lost 05:04
lyrics
buy track
The sea is calm tonight, the beach is quiet The only light from the stars on this dark night A shadow is roaming the water but he is the only one Alone he is searching, alone he cries A candle for the lost He walks on daring not to look down Cause there are shadows lying in the sand Someone is crying out There are so many lying in the sand A candle for the cold Our campfires burn for you Our candles, our lights burn for all of you One small streak of hope for what hope there still is A lament for the lost It grows bleaker by the day Remembering a childhood of colors and of games Remembering a childhood so tearless, so fearless But it grows bleaker by the day A candle burns for you Sometimes the world seems to shift Sometimes it seems bent on death A dark month can change it all When every hour is filled with grief A candle for hope Can you see it? We are here by your side We see it, we share it, your grief You are not alone tonight We´ll follow you, hold you, walk by you when the sand turns cold Our campfires burn for you Our candles, our lights burn for you

Edge Of Forever 04:48
lyrics

Let me tell you of a place so far away A haven far beyond our imagination Were every lie and every tear can be healed In the soothing breeze Can you see it, it´s real Can you feel it, it´s here Just close your eyes, it´s in your heart Beyond the light Beyond the waves Were no winter can chill our hearts Were no winter can shiver our souls Were I call your name in the breeze Were I call you home Were we can look upon the skies Without any fear of any war Were we can loose ourselves in our eyes And know that there is hope forever more For the weary, who have drowned in the cup of life For the lovers, who have lost their love in the tide For the broken, with no one to hold their hearts For the lost, with no one to guide their way Meet me on the edge of forever But the lights will shine on Just look to the west You´ll hear the voices of the undying lands And Valinor will welcome you The blessed realm, you´ll see it soon So set your sail, set out to sea Follow the star of Eärendil Meet me

The Hollow The Hallowed 04:21
lyrics
buy track
Cold, I want to be cold I feel the flames Cold, I want to be cold To loose all sense The heartless, living in bliss Living in a dream Sheltered from the storm Sheltered from themselves Lost in a dream He stands before his little crowd With his monologue of empty words His eyes are red, his voice is broken Seemingly the most pathetic man on this earth See the figure on the stage See the actor performing his play See him dragging them into this fantasy This powerful illusion, a magic dream He believes that he can heal them He believes that he can make them laugh But he is blind to his own heart He can´t see that he is killing them The hollow, the hallowed Walking alone into the dream The hollow, the hallowed Walking without pain into the dream He stealing their mind and souls He is wiping them clean He is trying to change their lives But you can´t heal a wound with yet another knife So he stands alone still praying for the cold He feels his heart ripping, his veins are empty and old His script is blank, his voice barely a whisper There is no more he can tell For it seems he has lost himself in the lines of his lies

Oncoming Storm 05:06
lyrics
buy track
One day at the hospital One hot summersday I sat among the crowd and my eyes strayed In the corner he sat alone One dark figure, in mind and clothes His gaze met mine A frail gaze that faltered and died He was a corrupted soul He was a corrupted soul Dark as the night and cold His eyes held no life Full of hatred and scorn He was the defeated A child in the oncoming storm He was the beaten He was alone Boy, I see you sitting there tall I see you got courage, I see you have hope But don´t let that hope be your guide Cause in those blind nights you will get lost When you loose everything If only for a second when the world closes in It can be hours, it can be years and then you will know where you stand when your life closes in So I asked him What happened to you? His eyes sank down Last night I met both heaven and hell and hell won in violent strikes No pain only a shattered world A world with no rules or love Last night I lost everything Last night I was that child in the storm I am not strong enough to stand the pain All there is for me is to leave And it´s consuming me It´s breaking me All I have now are a few words against the oncoming relentless storm

Can you hear me, I´m the voice, I´m the wind Can you feel me, I´m the touch, I´m the breeze Give me all your sorrows, give me all your hurts I´ll take them down with me, far below the earth I´ll try to hold them for you, all the things that you fear I´ll try to drown them in me, thats why I´m here All of that you hate, the things that you mourn I carve them deep into my flesh, that´s where they belong I´m the purity, the caress of the void I am the echo of all those screams I am the purity, the songs for all grief I am the night I´ll be there, when you call my name In your darkest places, I´ll see you still I´ll cradle you, within my blaze I hold you within my hate Let your words be the nails, your notes the thorns Let my moans be your home when you are lost I´ll be the tear that quenches your thirst I´ll be the shadow that shades you, that guides you I´m the purity, the caress of the void I am the echo of all those screams I am the purity, the songs for all grief I am the night I´m the purity, the caress of the void I am all those screams

Sorrow & Madness 04:23
lyrics
buy track
Sorrow, are you there? I´m trying to understand I´m trying not to be afraid, I´m trying to heal your soul But in the dark when you feel the stains In the dark when you are alone When the waves comes crashing in When you try to hold on I want to hold your hand Madness, can you hear me? Can you look into my eyes as you once did? I´m trying not to be afraid I´m trying to guide your soul But the marks they burn your eyes I see the fear twisting inside When the waves crushes your heart I will breathe the life back into your soul When the dark of the storm comes You must hold on Give me you hand, give me your hand When the rain won´t give When the mist lies thick Give me your hands, give me your hand

A Dream Of Blood 04:08
lyrics

The nightmares they come again Every night I dream of their faces A dream of blood, a dream of pain Every night I dream I´m holding them Give to me my love, give to me my son Give me back what you took from me I feel her touch, I hear him laugh I dream I´m holding them There is no more life in my heart No memory that can heal me I am but one more dead Don´t pray, for all darkness will cover my grave He is caught in a dream A dream of blood He is caught in a hell, a hell in his heart He is caught in his hate, for there´s nothing left In his life Empty words of solace Blurred visions of faces No memory can help you through And the fear chokes you The shadows haunt you And the memories changes you Take my hand but let it be Let the darkness envelop me I must go now and break this curse Into the shadows, into the earth There is no more life in my heart No memory that can heal me I am but one more dead Don´t pray, for all darkness will cover my grave She is the shadow in the street 2 pounds of confidence in her hands She is the hatred of loss And this is her last steps She picks her mark Now there´s nothing left In her heart
