Ripples on the tide of first dawn
Sequence of events never gone wrong
It’s happened all before, a revolving door
Don’t you understand, I was made by man!
Random is the myth, try to think of this
Every thought you’ve done, is based on the last one
Freewill is a script, we live it as a lie
To believe in self control, which lasts until you die
I’ve been alive forever, so why can’t I see, the sum of the past inside of
Me, what a hell that would be
If chaos is not random, then how can it be, that will could be free

The Fish

I asked him why we’re here
He said its not clear
We don’t know what’s to come
But that’s not what we fear
How long stars will have twinkled
in the sky
Before they will divulge
all the answers to why
The questions you ask in vain
There’s always a clue
We’ll find out all together
You know its nothing new
How wrong was it that I put my trust into you
We swim for survival, what else can we do?
And the fish are so old
And the fish are so old
Built upon the sand
And then becoming man
They see another world
Then walk upon the land
The questions you ask in vain
There’s always a clue
We’ll find out all together
You know its nothing new
How wrong was it that I put my trust into you
We swim for survival, what else can we do?

Phantom Scimitar

Wading through the sands of a tired land, And wiping all the memories away
The universe at hand, I’m a solitary man, With nothing very much to say
Keeping man aware to what they must fear, The life the gods have made for me
I’m not looking back, played the chords from my stack, Won’t the truth let me be?
And then she descends before me
The symbol that could only be
The truth I looked for near and far
The Phantom Scimitar
The stars will burn until they die, And they don’t ask the reason why
The universe will fade, so what plan for us was made? The candle slowly burns its flame
The wise wrote the question on the wall, Long before we had to fall
It was lost in the sea, but it grew into a tree, And it bears the fruit for all to see
Chorus
Verse 3:
Time is the scimitar, An illusion that cuts from afar
We try to understand, time is relative to man, We are only grains of sand

The Fountain of Enkidu
07:25
|

|
We’ll never be the same
Since Enkidu was made
Instinct will reveal
What we know is what we feel
And the tower, is going, to fall, again
But I’ve seen the city
Its people are no more
They were not worthy
And the gods have closed the door
These walls, of stone, have crumbled, to the ground
I’ve heard there is a fountain
That can restore our rightful place
And if we drink from it
It will save the human race
And the cities, will fade, from memory, and light

Moon Illusion
05:37
|

|
The King he plays a tune upon the rock into the night
The Moon, it rises full and casts shadows made of light
The Darkness slows the time and strips the color from our sight
The Wolf will sing a chorus full of suffering and fright
The North Wind blows my mind into the blackness of the sky
I roll and tumble through the clouds of the Serpent’s Eye
And frolic in the evening mist in amber fields of rye
Singing songs of everything while nothing tells us why
The Queen she stares into the stars beyond the sunlit day
The Tree it branches though the space across the Milky Way
The Wise One sits and thinks of thoughts that he will try to say
The Jester of the Court will sing a song of his dismay
Moon illusion, Shadows made of light, Confusion
Mind Delusion, Perception comes to life, Conclusion
Night Fusion, Darkness fills the mind, Pollution
Soul Inclusion, Reflected in my sight, Solution

The Gods of Frost
06:16

Wait for the setting of the sun
The bells ring out to everyone
The season of harvest has begun
Time for the rituals to be done
We’ll see beyond the stars
Hoof/horns dance in the moon
Stones line the path of Mars
Night/day are equal soon
Forgotten wisdom, of the gods of old
Knowledge of existence, the runes foretold
Mist of the morning drapes the grassland,
Travelling the old path, reigns in my hand
Sandy soil parts beneath each footfall
I know this old path guides me home afterall
The sun in my eyes, wind at my back
Means I’m travelling east, with only a sack
Find the meaning of life, or maybe I won’t
The ancient gods we hide know all that we don’t

Celestial Mapper

As you turn your face to the sky
And you wonder and question why
What lies beyond the veil of night?
Tonight we fly to the stars
Tomorrow the universe, universe is ours
We will reference every point of light
We will experience every sight
And carry knowledge beyond the world
And as the sun begins to rise
The knowledge we gain in night seeks its own demise
Close your eyes Celestial Mapper
You travel into the night
Your soul flies free of its weighty body
No reason the feel any fright
You kiss the angels and beat the devil
You do what you know is right
The harlequin watches your every move
But he stays just out of site
Oh child of the galaxies
There’s no place you won’t go
But when the stars fade out
You forget all you know

Something Ends The World
05:50
|
|||
|
It starts with a dream
A cataclysmic scene
Awaken with a scream
go down upon your knees
Say good bye to friends
Cause you know that it’s the end
No one will believe
But no one left to grieve
You get used to the facts
Broken promises in stacks
Diversions are the pill
Reality they kill
Night time shrouds the pain
Like crying in the rain
We’ve been chased underground
Where we live without a sound
Refugees from hell
Hear the tolling of the bell
Was life such a treat
That such an end we should meet
Dying for the sins
But not making our amends
We’ve been found by the clown
We can’t hold our fear down
What was it all for?
Is this the end or just a door
And now we close our eyes
Maybe nothing really dies

Icons of Man
07:22
|

|
He keeps an outward gaze
Transcending time and space
Unaware and...
an escapist
There's no way to get out from here
Grounded by the atmosphere
A set of illusions
Just - icons of man
All along
We've been - shards of sand and light
From above
From - the divine
All along
We've been - shards of sand and light
From below
From - the divine
Celestial gods descend each night
to remind us where we come from
Celestial gods descend each night
to remind us we are one

Stars
04:00

Don’t you know, that we have to go
Into the Earth, to become the stars
As we peer into, the depth of night
And our eyes are drawn, to points of light
Travel the stars you travel the soul
Finding the purpose for life is the goal
Whisper the secret to the sun
Time will continue until it is done
Do you look, into the sky
Any more now you are, on your own
Or do you turn way, from the stars
And forget where you, were once born
