Departure 04:35
Dire vision I’ll take a ride to an unsure horizon a bleak odyssey Counter current Lose touch with each other and back to square one On the brink of a new dawn I don't want to leave this place I leave my faith away then How could I realize? We are not enslaved this fate we face anchored again this anxiety in our eyes (Face the tempest in their lies) Leaving all behind, got this memories in my eyes, and I won't give up my rage inside to lead me higher From this place I had to run away Here I am after all To claim it all Tribulation might be the price of change and evolution We're meant to obey Confined reason, can we just overcome the vile temptation to drift away? I don't want to leave this place I leave my faith away then How could I realize? We are not enslaved this fate we face anchored again this anxiety in our eyes (Face the tempest in their lies) Leaving all behind, got this memories in my eyes, and I won't give up my rage inside to lead me higher From this place I had to run away Here I am after all To claim it all Forget what you knew Forget what we were The chance you pursue Rests in your desire Leaving all behind, got this memories in my eyes, and I won't give up my rage inside to lead me higher From this place I had to run away Here I am after all To claim it all Forget what you knew Forget what we were The chance you pursue Rests in your desire

Undertow 05:00
There, departed I reach upon my side There, I can gaze at my bare hopes defiled A voice that I can’t conceal But resolution shall throw the shadows away Consequences are felt to this day Let the anger Push me further Slay the fiends I dread Your voices are the pale reflection Of your own affliction Meaningless confusion I’ll take a brand new step into What’s deemed unknown And I shall discover Utopia on my own And you could die, die, die in front of me Losing your own mind Fly, fly, trust your destiny Standing up cause we are Braving the undertow Cause we are, cause we are Braving the undertow Embrace the taste of the fight Painting our destiny The echo of our anthem Won’t cease to guide us We are the sound of our Hopes, beacon of our journey Will we ever be victorious ? These voices still resonate A quiet whisper Slowly turning into gale An emphatic breeze Swelling my sail Let the anger Push me further Slay the fiends I dread And you could die, die, die in front of me Losing your own mind Fly, fly, trust your destiny Standing up cause we are Braving the undertow Cause we are, cause we are Braving the undertow And you could die, die, die in front of me Losing your own mind Fly, fly, trust your destiny Standing up cause we are Braving the undertow Cause we are, cause we are Braving the undertow

In Disgrace 04:05
Have you ever believed the fiction of a new condition of mankind? Can you feel the inner expansion just like darkness flowing in your mind? RISE ABOVE SLAVE OF THE NIGHT CURSED BY THIS BITE Give up your life forever in disgrace, in disgrace and lose yourself in the fever in disgrace you're braving death now Gifted by an unholy power conceiving no masters at lights out Unleashing such a sweet disaster you trigger the slaughter in one shout RISE ABOVE SLAVE OF THE NIGHT CURSED BY THIS BITE Give up your life forever in disgrace, in disgrace and lose yourself in the fever in disgrace you're braving death now Give up your life forever in disgrace, in disgrace and lose yourself in the fever in disgrace you're braving death now

I have my back to the wall I might be heading for a fall A tryst with death, I’m playing chess Am I on the brink of madness? I thought that I were strong but now I know that’s rather wrong that’s why now you’re singing this song and I must listen all along! My life! Comedy! Might be too far on the wild I need a remedy I’m not a man undefiled that’s right, in quicksand I just begin to understand this is it, I’m insane No way I won’t lead your bane! Every time I have to decay Confusion comes anew to get a hold on me But am I the hunter or the prey? I am sure I lost my grasp on reality Hey dude, up for a test? watch your sanity fly off the nest to bring it back, there is a way but it’s already far away you thought that you were strong but now you know that’s rather wrong that’s why now I’m singing this song but you must listen all along hey dude look at you! You sound like a noisy child lazy fool, shame on you! Stand up and take back your pride that’s right, take my hand you just begin to understand this is it, you’re insane and soon you will lead my bane Every time I have to decay Confusion comes anew to get a hold on me But am I the hunter or the prey? I am sure I lost my grasp on reality Every time I have to decay Confusion comes anew to get a hold on me But am I the hunter or the prey? I am sure I lost my grasp on reality

Stop, stop harping on Don't make me waste my time I Have, control over my destiny This time, the truth is louder than every lies you defend My, liberty is Forsaken Overwhelming, Time to stop fooling Along this way what are you looking for? you’re a shame This is my way I reach for an open door Sight my fame LOUDER! LOUDER! From now on my fury is in motion, However, oh should I carry on? It is an old path deemed forsaken The fall, of my kingdom, doesn't mean I am gone Your doubt won’t impersonate me So burn, don't give a shit My convictions are unshakeable, Your, liberty is illusion Overwhelming, Time to stop fooling Along this way what are you looking for? you’re a shame This is my way I reach for an open door Sight my fame

Castaway 04:25
Bitter, blinded by the Ire awakened By the disgrace of the Ether (You will fall) I won’t come out unscathed (You will crawl) But I won’t turn away (You’re fading) I’ll end up bruised and battered (decaying) I’m not the castaway Bound to hope, realize It is written in my eyes This blind devotion will take it all away Can’t forget, can’t deny So much pain boiling inside In the end it seems there’s no one left to pray CASTAWAY! CASTAWAY! Between heaven and the Bright blue sea, I sail Drifting to strange mist Losing my landmarks (You will fall) I gave up all my sorrow (You will crawl) Giving up all my doubts (You’re fading) Compassion is a gallows (decaying) I need to live without Bound to hope, realize It is written in my eyes This blind devotion will take it all away Can’t forget, can’t deny So much pain boiling inside In the end it seems there’s no one left to pray CASTAWAY! CASTAWAY! CASTAWAY! CASTAWAY! Bound to hope, realize It is written in my eyes This blind devotion will take it all away Can’t forget, can’t deny So much pain boiling inside In the end it seems there’s no one left to pray CASTAWAY!

Tideline 01:28

Hourglass 04:28
Tick of clock is out of sync Can't catch up with the past Foreshadowing displeasure For a present which will not last Backing up, bearing up, To keep on the... Backing down, bearing down, time... Adding up, piling up, the sense of my Cast it off changing off, time… Time is over Now your time is over This unfailing condition, Such a never ending motion, Will I ever see the end ? Confined and cursed by my own deprivation Reason beyond redemption, Saying “not worth a dime” Unable to feel the present I can hear my future chime I need to, I have to, Can't make it on I may not, I will not, time... Maybe I, surely I, and my soul will... Maybe I'll, surely I'll die Time is over Now your time is over This unfailing condition, Such a never ending motion, Will I ever see the end ? Confined and cursed by my own deprivation Will I ever see the end ? Turning the tide is a frightful illusion Promise me the time will come When my regrets will be gone Doubt is making my existence shatter (X2) Like an everlasting sun The hourglass shall not be frozen Will I ever see the end ? Turning the tide is a frightful illusion

Disaster 04:08
There comes a time For letting go A part of me still struggles on The other already gave up Should we have to row any more to reach this point? What is the use of an anchor When no land’s on the horizon I touch the sky as my whole world collapse I hit the ground, now there's no turning back again Existing, I was To hell this maze in which I lost the chart Misplaced myself and I'm falling apart again In this disaster When the brightest star of your sky Slowly create the deepest scars in your eyes (darkest scar) It irradiates my veins like a poison in disguise The ruins of my trust are flooded with demise I touch the sky as my whole world collapse I hit the ground, now there's no turning back again Existing, I was To hell this maze in which I lost the chart Misplaced myself and I'm falling apart again In this disaster My body’s here but my soul washed ashore But in this fantasy, there may be a cure somewhere In this disaster

All is in ruin There’s no more line to follow This cursed shipwreck Only means shallow Building, destroying is a state of mind To me havoc doesn’t rhyme with stuck My perseverance, like a star deified of my determination, After the disaster comes the rain Bodies of water display what’s left all these broken parts surely won’t remain I pledge to recover what I was stolen One mere decision Well thought out, all or nothing Build on and on Though spite is aching FROM DAWN TO DUSK Let’s recreate what’s been broken Learn from the grief of the past FROM DAWN TO DUSK From zero let myself ascend (Ourselves ascend) I’m bound to anchor tonight One last trial At long last, shores are in sight Oh, nocturnal Lead me through the night Guide me to the shoreline…(x4) To the shoreline! FROM DAWN TO DUSK Let’s recreate what’s been broken Learn from the grief of the past FROM DAWN TO DUSK From zero let myself ascend (Ourselves ascend) I’m bound to anchor tonight We are not led astray We’ve made it through the swell From zero there’s a way For us to break the spell We are not led astray We’ve made it through the swell From zero there’s a way For us to break the spell

Restful, soothing sand surrounded, by a sapphire foam, eagerly awaited, did I reach the end? (the end?) Torch in this world harsh and vile The pure kiss of the ideal, covers without clinching my heart My eyes wide open the colours resonate with voices I once heard, a whisper, guiding me to this land Half a world away from the tides That used to lull my weary bones Despair and hope walk side by side As expectations turned to stone But was it fate? Destiny? Those daggers stairs on which I walked Since I stepped into the unknown A rush of undisclosed joy overwhelms me Much too real to be merely a trick to see But such feels out of the blue, Must be too good to be true Watching, Blue shadings of these mysterious, Stretches, where lights melt & flow Have I been misguided? Captivated by some grave lights Have i been misguided? How could I recover the beacon If there’s no more sea to sail Am I adrift or at home Among this barren wasteland? I could have buried all the radiance, The same that faded away When I understood these shores Were not the place where it lied But in ruins Motionless I breathe Scattered and deceived Hollowness within Or am I only realizing? Beyond this nihilistic delusion Maybe I found a path I can create despite the mess, From the sea spray of this undying journey Half a world away from the tides That used to lull my weary bones Despair and hope walk side by side As expectations turned to stone

Tonight, we sailed, sailed, sailed to the edge of the world In ruins we stand, and the silence is burying the radiance, burying the radiance But there’s a spark, spark, spark we created today Shedding the light on our odyssey we are the dreamers, we are the dreamers Erased and gone My inner innocence ignites the dawn Of a vain aspiration Shattered dreams Single wanderer of a broken stream that I used to revere but. I drown in an apathetic ache Symptom and cause of this cruel evolution after all I end up wide awake The key lies in our desires So close from burying the radiance I saw the halo fade away Tonight, we sailed, sailed, sailed to the edge of the world In ruins we stand, and the silence is burying the radiance, burying the radiance But there’s a spark, spark, spark we created today Shedding the light on our odyssey we are the dreamers, we are the dreamers Like a breath-taking gleam one can never ignore I’ll keep the radiance bright Every step that I took far away from this shore Has led me through the fright So close from burying the radiance I saw the halo fade away So close from burying the radiance I saw the halo fade away But dreams do not lie in the distance Cause there's an uproar that beats underneath our skin, Anthem of a land we concealed within ourselves Forget what we knew Forget what we were The dream you pursue Lies in you desire (x2) Forget what we knew Forget what we were The dream you pursue Lies in you desire (x2)
