This Silence
04:50
|
|||
|
Deep in the nothing of my doubts
It draws them further on the stream
I own the way down through
Sinking, falling over and away
They are not waiting for me now
It knows the promises they bring
The lights would shine true in my eyes
A moment far, far away
Here we are
I know I will reach the end
From across
I don't see this silence, no, no, no…
What would it take to fall asleep
To slip deep into the veil
Far beneath eternity
Hidden with secrecy, stolen away
But time knows nothing any more
For their travels in the dreams
The clocks are ticking down
Storm's travels taken all away

The Inside World
04:20
|
|||
|
I have lost today
The vision passed
You'll see the same
Within confusion
Nothing but the same
All monotony
Nothing but knowing
Time is leaving
It's reaching toward me
On the foreign sands
Words will find a way
To heal my past
And the tables will turn
Your choice is made
I understand
It must be this way
Looking through the pieces
Of my mind - a betrayal
Following the footsteps
Of the real world - it's blinding
And I never dream
They don't come to me
I sit in isolation
Finding peace
This is not a game
They don't know the rules
I find a way
To use it against them all
I'm not losing my mind
If it's all the same
If you can find
Another thing to say
You know the truth
They can't know my name
To see the power
I've already gained

Winter Fell
05:39
|
|||
|
Waiting for my own fault
I doubt the long road
There's a place I must go to
Won't I wander alone
Into the trail of the wind
Across a foreign soil
Tired and colder
I long to return
I'm not my own self
A new life
She treads behind me
A white dream
Running from the shadows
Running home
They're fast behind me
A breath each night
Where are you now
A long continent to go
A vision of forests
I speak the words…of wisdom

Mantra
04:44
|
|||
|
No tongues speak the same
My words don't find them
Your lips move for different thoughts
I speak no evil
No eyes look on the same
Your eyes can't feel my pain
Sight won't correct your vision
I see no evil
No ears hear the same
My sounds don't correct your days
Our ears hear no thoughts
I hear no evil

Suspend
05:40
|
|||
|
Trapped in time
At the edge of reality
If I could stand
And look it in the eyes
And change back
To the way things were
Take everything away
So I am not suspended
Suspended above my life
Hovering around my fears
Feelings change
You've changed too
And I can't speak
And I can't know
And I'm not alone
And I fall
And I am far
And I am fear
And my tears flood
And I fall
And I can't see
And I can't leave
And I'm far beyond
And I fall
And I am near
And I am real
And my heart longs
And I am

More Unto Fire Dreamt
05:51
|
|||
|
Fly into the arms of the wind
Into the path of eternity waiting
Union worn away by time
Shattered by misunderstanding
Finding whispers in the ground
Lies muttered in waves of pain
Scratching and burning of the past
Dancing and dreaming in circles
Take this air beneath me
A breath that now drowns
Imminent perception of life
Left without a glance behind
More unto fire dreamt
Coursed by a stream of light shining
Drawn by the sights of clouds
Night sky breathes into me

Mother
05:12
|
|||
|
She's sick, in need
Life support, system failure
Atmosphere control error
Emergency procedures must take effect
No alternative, cannot abandon ship
We'll die with her, Mother
She's sick in need
Life support, system failure
Atmosphere control error
Suffocation process must take effect
No alternative, cannot abandon ship
We'll die with her, Mother

Spider's Bride
04:12
|
|||
|
we are watching while you sleep
we are the nightmares in your dreams
we are everywhere
we are everywhere
we are the ones snatching souls
we are the ones in control
we are everywhere
we are everywhere
come let me put my arms around you
come let me pray beside you
come let show you a true god
feelings of submission
the ageless come
the dust in a darkened corner
seems so alive
watching eyes
spiders peer over me
eight legged angels spin by night
catching all misguided flying by
a living god who waits patiently
without a twitch
body snatching technique very quick
don't lie
why'd you lie
don't deny it to yourself
this time

Illusions In Rain
02:19
|
|||
|
Push the tender nights aside
As emotions drift by
Many thoughts collide
Cruel ravishing strains
The heavens open wide
And the windows close tight
And the wind it sings by my side
Never a sorrow
And now the words leave
No explanation for me
How can we see
The illusions dance away
|

If Ever
04:11
|
|||
|
If ever we could bind it up
Integrate it in our souls
Find the time we saw blind
Figure the wrongs gone right
If ever we learned what we had lost
Incomplete and worn
With no sweetness I can have it
A thousand times of nothing
Don't you stop here
Playing with my dirty fears
Falling down the drain
It ended yesterday
If ever we could push away
Smother all the pain
Tear the day down
Smooth all the insanity over
If ever we knew the truth
And grasp the lies within
Wouldn't make it all right
To deny all the things we have done

Goodbye
03:15
|
|||
|
Fly away
All alone today
Like the birds
Say our parting words
It falls to me
Frayed and old and beat
See it fade
All the dreams we made
I bid my final goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
And my body falls beneath the clouds
And my body falls beneath the waves
It ends this way
To find another place
So goodbye…

Stunning album and artist. Dark love. The best dark vibes in genre. I prefer the first works because they are darker than the last. We're waiting for her come back. Get well soon.

Mature and very intelligent album. Brilliant work.

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.
