PROMO VIDEOS
1. SWEET TEARS
In each others arms
We cried together
And your tears tasted sweet
All is not lost
And never to be forgotten
Like a shiver down my spine
The lonely nights keep falling
And I still want you
All is not lost
And never to be forgotten
She's passed away but dreaming
Her soul's awake and screaming
The weeping willow is weeping
And beneath our hearts ...
... All joy is sleeping
our bliss is carried away ... Sweet tears
2. MINE IS YOURS
Be smothered in life
Listen, listen, listen
The written word will devour you
And burn your mind
I'm burning your mind
I am entering your soul
My promise to love and caress you
Mirrors destiny and breathes the universe
Before Tomb ...
(Regression)
Taste me
Let the angels wings close
And shield you
I bleed for you
In the shadows and the recesses
You'll find dark
Yearn (me)
From the dark all is revealed
Light sheds through
Bleed with me
We will share the light and dark
Together and more
3. THE SILENT ENIGMA
In dreamland grandeur
I held mesmerised peace
Innocence breathed again
A mind's escape
Leave walls of tears behind
Ethereal vision haunting still...
The solitude left me blind
Beneath an open sky
Sibilant cries of youth dying
Enslave me with grief
A moonlit era, oblivion's twilight kiss
Wishes in lament
Happiness in a broken vision
Utopia still unborn...
Tormented echoes of a fallen Eden
I longed for her beauty
Yet from dust, she returned
The dream, an enigma... silent
4. HOPE
When you look at me
From your own century
I may seem to be
Strange archeology
But when the winds blow
From this direction
You may sense me there
In your reflection
I think I feel you
But I will never know
As the swallows leave
And the children grow
I wanted to live forever
The same is you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew
When I caught you there
In tomorrows mirror
I thought felt you
Jump out of my skin
Throwing oil into
My blazing memories
Filling empty footsteps
I was standing in
I wanted to live forever
The same as you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew
As the falling rain
Of the northern jungle
Hanging droplets on the leaves
Bombards my brain
I hear you
Across the room
A sea of daffodils spring into bloom
You are the mist
The frost across my window pane
And again
She moves her body
And her whispers weave
And the world spins
And tells me that I'll never want to leave
As I think of you
From this dark century
I will always be
With generosity
That we both may share
The hope in hearing
That we're not just
Spirits disappearin

5. INTRO
(Instrumental)
6. RESTLESS OBLIVION
My paralysed heart
Is bleeding...
My love's torn apart
Desire to be free
A bleak garden to cry
When my inamorato died
Loveless so real
Lifeline of mortality
Condemned to misery
Restless oblivion forever
A bleak garden to cry
When my inamorato died
My visionary dreams are vanquished
Aspirations fade away
Reverence dies within
A bleak garden to cry
When my inamorato died
7. SHROUD OF FROST
Undying odyssey... a myriad of times
The soul has seen
Through eyes of heaven
The imperium of earth
Nothing left to perceive
Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralysed
Infinity distraction
A pious human disorder
Blind to passage of souls
Conclusion from one remembrance
Help me to escape...
Transfixed... I gaze through my window at a world lying under a shroud of frost. In a forlorn stupor I feel the burning of staring eyes, yet no one is here. Detached from reality, in the Knowing of dreams, we know the entity of ensuing agony waits to clasp us in its cold breast, in an empty room. We awake and it's true. I dreamt of the sun's demise, awoke to a bleak morning. In the emptiness I behled fate for the dead light is a foretelling of what will be... I saw a soul drift from life, through death, and arrive at Elysian fields in welcoming song. Yet I stand in a dusk-filled room despondently watching the passing of the kindred spirit... and there is no song... just a delusion of silence.
8. WE, THE GODS
How can you climb a mountain to kill a God?
Why do you cross unknown lands, to kill our Gods?
Why do you build walls.... to starve our Gods?
Is it for the same reason you blind us?
Is this why you punish our children?
And rape our sisters?
When will we drown?
When will we burn?
Will you die with us? I think so
You are slicing your own wrists
You are tearing out your own hearts
And you are drowning your own children
So you can end it
... Or we will
We are telling them the truth
And revealing all your lies
We do not need to climb a mountain
Or to cross unknown lands...
... Because we are Gods
And we will drown you
We will burn your homes
We the people, we the spirits, we the Gods.
9. SUNSET OF AGE
Throne of grief
... In a dying essence
Crying beauty
... The fettered aura
Forgotten oceans of hope
... Betrayed aphony
Sullen laughter in unventured paradise
(As one) forever searching
For landscapes serene
Amidst the sunset of age
With joyous masquerade...
... The summers died
10. MINE IS YOURS
Be smothered in life
Listen, listen, listen
The written word will devour you
And burn your mind
I'm burning your mind
I am entering your soul
My promise to love and caress you
Mirrors destiny and breathes the universe
Before Tomb ...
(Regression)
Taste me
Let the angels wings close
And shield you
I bleed for you
In the shadows and the recesses
You'll find dark
Yearn (me)
From the dark all is revealed
Light sheds through
Bleed with me
We will share the light and dark
Together and more
11. SLEEPLESS
And I often sigh
I often wonder why
I'm still here and I still cry
And I often cry
I often spill a tear
Over those not here
But still they are so near
Please ease my burden
And I still remember
A memory and I weep
In my broken sleep
The scars they cut so deep
Please ease my burden
Please ease my pain
Surely without war there would be no loss
Hence no mourning, no grief, no pain, no misery
No sleepless nights missing the dead ... Oh, no more
No more war
12. THE SILENT ENIGMA
In dreamland grandeur
I held mesmerised peace
Innocence breathed again
A mind's escape
Leave walls of tears behind
Ethereal vision haunting still...
The solitude left me blind
Beneath an open sky
Sibilant cries of youth dying
Enslave me with grief
A moonlit era, oblivion's twilight kiss
Wishes in lament
Happiness in a broken vision
Utopia still unborn...
Tormented echoes of a fallen Eden
I longed for her beauty
Yet from dust, she returned
The dream, an enigma... silent
13. A DYING WISH
I bear the seed of ruin
A golden age turned to stone
Elysium... to dust
For this, a tragic journey
A vision of a dying embrace
Scattered earth
Silence...
Where Echonia wept
I sank into the silent desert
Fallen am I,
In solitude of a broken promise
...I cried alone
My empyrean is a scar
From the memory of her beautiful life
Forever was her name
Fulfilment lost in a lifetime of regret
Ornate peace would cover me
As I would die now...
For one last wish
