Album Lyrics
1. Regalis Apertura
(Instrumental)
2. Forever
There’s a pain within
that I can’t define.
There’s an empty space
where your love used to shine.
From the night we met
until the day you died.
Do you think I wished,
do you still believe I tried?
All too soon we were divided
and life had just begun…
Will you revive from
the chaos in my mind
where we still are
bound together?
Will you be there,
waiting by the gates of dawn,
when I close my eyes forever?
I belong to you,
you belong to me.
It’s the way things are
always meant to be.
Like the morning star,
and the rising sun,
you convey my life
and forgive me what I’ve done.
All too soon we were divided
into darkness and light.
Will you revive from
the chaos in my mind
where we still are
bound together?
Will you be there,
waiting by the gates of dawn,
when I close my eyes forever?
Save me, reverse how
I’m thinking of you.
Every breath I take
brings me closer.
Closer to forever, to you,
I’m waiting for the day
that I’m gone.
All too soon we were divided
And life had just begun
Will you revive from
the chaos in my mind
where we still are
bound together?
Will you be there,
waiting by the gates of dawn,
when I close my eyes forever?
Will you be there,
waiting by the gates of dawn,
when I close my eyes forever?
3. Wings of Despair
Sometimes my visions are distant and vague,
down at the base of the mountain.
Once in a while I am weak and afraid,
tired and sick of it all.
I don’t believe that my story is set,
nothing is destined or fated.
Bound to this body, a world full of hate,
no one will heed if I fall.
No one can see it to know that it’s there,
guiding the steps of your soul.
Holding the truth in the cross that you bear,
die with a heart that is bold.
Fly on the wings of despair,
no one is holding you back.
The call of the wild is eternal!
Conquer the silence you fear,
tomorrow will not fade to black
A new day is dawning, remember!
No one can save you today.
Questions are more than the answers I know,
that doesn’t mean you are lonely.
Searching for more consecutive goals
making it worth to go on.
No one can see it to know that it’s there,
guiding the steps of your soul.
Holding the truth in the cross that you bear,
die with a heart that is bold.
Fly on the wings of despair,
no one is holding you back.
The call of the wild is eternal!
Conquer the silence you fear,
tomorrow will not fade to black
A new day is dawning, remember!
No one can save you today.
You, and you alone,
forging the path.
Leave your sorrows
with the past.
Never believe that your story is set,
nothing is destined or fated.
Bound to this body, a world full of hate,
no one will heed if you fall.
No one can see it to know that it’s there,
guiding the steps of your soul.
Holding the truth in the cross that you bear,
die with a heart that is bold.
Fly on the wings of despair,
no one is holding you back.
The call of the wild is eternal!
Conquer the silence you fear,
tomorrow will not fade to black
A new day is dawning, remember!
No one can save you today.
4. The Spell
Where has all the magic gone,
lost behind or lost along?
A victim of the pulse of our society!
don’t you miss the ancient times,
the riddles and the subtle signs?
A relative perspective on reality.
I get stronger in the
splendor of a lucid moon,
I’m a creature of the night.
All my demons cast a spell,
the souls of dusk rising from the ashes.
So the book of shadows tell,
the weak will always obey the master.
Heading for the dragons lair,
another time, a different sphere.
I leave this nothingness behind!
And when the sense of logic yields
I’ll escape the outer shields
into the universal mind.
I get stronger in the
splendor of a lucid moon,
only creatures of the night
Can heal my wounds.
All my demons cast a spell,
the souls of dusk rising from the ashes.
So the book of shadows tell,
the weak will always obey the master.
5. Don’t You Cry
Little by little
I’ve come to this point.
On my own I’ve been
searching my way.
I lost you so early,
the days went so fast.
You don’t know how
I prayed every day
A song to remember,
a song to forget.
You’ll never know
how I tried.
To make you proud
and to honor your name but,
but you never told me goodbye.
Now that you are gone,
casting shadows from the past.
You and all the memories will last.
Don’t you cry,
or suffer over me.
I will be waiting for you.
Don’t you cry,
Angels never fade away.
I’ll be watching over you,
see you through.
Now I’m a man and
I’m feeling you still.
Could it be you were
there all along?
A time to surrender,
a time to forgive.
With solace I
give you this song.
Now that you are gone,
casting shadows from the past.
In my dreams I hear your voice at last.
Don’t you cry,
or suffer over me.
I will be waiting for you.
Don’t you cry,
Angels never fade away.
I’ll be watching over you,
see you through.
I can see you tonight
in the pale winter light.
Father and son again,
the bond of blood will never end.
Don’t you cry,
or suffer over me.
I will be waiting for you.
Don’t you cry,
Angels never fade away.
I’ll be watching over you!
Don’t you cry,
or suffer over me.
I will be waiting for you.
Don’t you cry,
Angels never fade away.
I’ll be watching over you,
see you through.
6. Karma
I am a king of honor, gold and glory
but every king must also die.
Have I been just and righteous, what is glory?
I know I’ve torn and taken life!
And here I stand,
a small and simple man.
Who will trade his karma for my kingdom?
A sacrificial rite to render truth.
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
because all you do in life comes back to you.
I am a king in crisis, counting minutes,
there is an ending to my reign.
My sins have come to face me,
I can feel it that I have lived my life in vain.
And now I know I’ll reap
the seeds I’ve sown.
Who will trade his karma for my kingdom?
A sacrificial rite to render truth.
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
because all you do in life comes back to you.
Am I mad?
I feel so void and cold.
Who can tell, who holds
the stories untold?
Tired and trembling
I am descending,
will I have to stay here
and live this life again?
Who will trade his karma for my kingdom?
A sacrificial rite to render truth.
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
because all you do in life comes back to you.
7. The Light I Shine on You
Yet a day is dawning,
I am sad but also strong.
And this gift that I’ve been given
tells me where I do belong.
Falling, I’m falling down,
and you recall my strength.
Time will slowly pull me under
but I know you’ll catch my breath.
This is a praise to all of you!
Because the light I shine on you
is what you gave to me.
I’m a crystal, clear and true,
I’m your cairn and creed.
You think that I’m a mountain
but there’s a price I have to pay,
for the love I have forsaken
can never be replaced.
Crying, I’m crying out,
be careful with my soul.
Unbounded I’m like water
but so fragile in the cold.
And this is a praise to all of you!
Because the light I shine on you
is what you gave to me.
I’m a crystal, clear and true,
I’m your cairn and creed.
The mysteries of life
take us high and low,
the road can be long it seems.
Someone is lost,
no one is free.
Falling, I’m falling down,
into your open arms.
Each and every gathered glow
maintains my shining star.
This is a praise to all of you!
Because the light I shine on you
is what you gave to me.
I’m a crystal, clear and true,
I’m your cairn and creed.
8. Temples of Gold
I see you when it snows
in crystals dancing down
from a sultry sky.
When silence is pure
and unbreakable.
I can see you smiling
in every frozen tear.
I can hear you whisper:
“You and I”
Little did we know
that they were life itself,
the days passing by.
We both had our share
in the sacrifice.
Once upon a time
we had something beautiful.
Once upon a time
I thought “you and I”
Take me wherever the answer
lingers in the sand.
Show me the way as
the story unfolds.
Love is remote in this
wailing winter wonderland.
Show me the way to
the temples of gold.
Bless me with a kiss
across the universe
when day and night converge,
and whisper my name
until I fall asleep.
Tell me tales
from days bygone,
tell me little lies.
Tell me once again
it’s just “you and I”
Take me wherever the answer
lingers in the sand.
Show me the way as
the story unfolds.
Love is remote in this
wailing winter wonderland.
Show me the way to
the temples of gold.
9. Across the Highlands
I’ve been witness to so many wars
that I’m blind to affliction.
No ability left to remorse,
it’s my faith and conviction.
Wide awake,
in this world
full of hate
I unfurl!
But I am damned if life
itself is condemnation.
I am immortal thus
my freedom is captivity.
Flying all across the highlands,
searching for a way
to finalize my history.
Rising high above the mountains,
reaching for the sky.
Closer to my sanctuary!
All my life I’ve been trying to die,
reach complete segregation.
I am ready to open my eyes
to a new revelation.
Lost in time,
there’s no place
For my soul
in His embrace.
For I am damned if life
itself is condemnation.
I am immortal and I can’t
escape my destiny.
Bound to live eternally!
Flying all across the highlands,
searching for a way
to finalize my history.
Rising high above the mountains,
reaching for the sky.
Closer to my sanctuary!
For I am damned if life
itself is condemnation.
I am immortal and I can’t
escape my destiny.
Bound to live eternally!
Flying all across the highlands,
searching for a way
to finalize my history.
Rising high above the mountains,
reaching for the sky.
Closer to my sanctuary!
10. Elizabeth (Part I: Mirror, Mirror)
Mirror can you tell me
how to stay forever young?
Let me know the secret,
I will hold my twisted tongue.
Please protect my beauty,
velvet skin so pure and white.
Hear my name resounding
like a hymn at dead of night.
Once I struck a servant,
she’s a virgin free from sin.
Drops of blood caressed me
and refined my aging skin.
Could this be the answer,
uncorrupted carmine red?
Voices keep resounding
in my dazed bewildered head.
Have I found myself eternity?
Someone has heard my prayers,
now I’ll become divine.
Have I found myself divinity?
I’m no longer a slave to
the vicious hands of time.
Elizabeth,
wake up!
Elizabeth,
Wake up!
11. Elizabeth (Part II: Requiem for the Innocent)
Mother, can you hold me
one more time again?
Whisper “I still love you”
in my ear.
Mother did you lie,
would you tell me why?
There is something
deeper that I fear.
Justify the
malice I portray
Daggers in the darkness
find your way.
When the moon is full
and piercing bright,
drench me with your
innocence tonight.
Don’t you want to die?
Walk beside me evermore.
Don’t you feel alive
like you’ve never felt before?
Visions of the future
unprofound and blurred.
I have passed the
point of no return.
Justify the
malice I portray
Daggers in the darkness
find your way.
When the moon is full
and piercing bright,
drench me with your
innocence tonight.
Don’t you want to die?
Walk beside me evermore.
Don’t you feel alive
like you’ve never felt before?
Don’t you want to die?
Souls transcending,
silver shine.
Don’t you feel alive?
Your blood preserves
my place in time.
12. Elizabeth (Part III: Fall from Grace)
Breathe in deep,
smell these halls of hate.
Carve your name into these walls
before it is too late.
Cold and twisted,
they resisted,
what was I to do?
All I ever
wanted was a
fraction of the truth.
Walking in the shadows
of my blackened mind.
Lost inside this shallow
vanity of time.
What if there’s a God,
a Hell and Heaven?
Fire is the torment
I must face.
Dying by the souls
I have forsaken,
no one’s going to
catch my fall from grace.
Bleed on me,
suffer and exhale!
Watch me from your cage
as I rejoin my painful prime.
You and I are relics,
we provoke and we recline.
Walking in the shadows
of my blackened mind.
Angels crave my sorrow,
sorrow they will find.
What if there’s a God,
a Hell and Heaven?
Fire is the torment
I must face.
Dying by the souls
I have forsaken,
no one’s going to
catch my fall from grace.
