01 - Intro: Green Reflection
(instrumental)
02 - Lunar Force
Farewell my brother
Farewell my foe
May death embrace you
Your blood in the darkness flow
You were never meant to rule
Never to light up my father's throne
May you suffer deep below
You tried to deprive (me of) my rightful crown
Fallen, defeated, tricked by Beorc,
The Lunar Force
Beholder the sorcerer when you're
Impaled by the sword
Farewell my brother
Farewell my friend
May she have pity with you
We did not wish for your life to end
The day will be bleak when
The Old One arrives
The King betrayed by his treacherous mind
Defeated by Beorc, the Lunar Force
03 - Isa
Been standing here for ages
Watching the valleys blossom and burn
The pyres of yesterday smells of losing you
Preserved we are, portraits (in the glassy depths)
I picked up the shattered mirror, put them in water
Cold as my dreams
Isa: Still – Standing – Empowered
Isa: Watching you die, with tears of ice
Isa: Detached – Silent – Ecstasy
Isa: We are the dead
We arrived here from different spaces
Bidding the wooden shrines farewell
Concealed within dead lips lies the rope
That forged us then tore us to shreds
Distant opposite assembly at the shores
They're telling me it's time to let go
A time to burn, a time to build
With your own hands a room within that room
Bring it all towards the centr and tremble
Bring her back from the shadows and kiss her
Retrieve the sword from the abyss
Hold back the tidal wave
Isa: Still – Standing – Empowered
Isa: Watching you die, with tears of ice
Isa: Detached – Silent – Ecstasy
Isa: We are the dead
Isa: Still – Standing – Empowered
Isa: Watching you die, with tears of ice
Isa: Detached – Silent – Ecstasy
Isa: We are the dead
04 - Ascension
Staring across the void, – seeing
eye to eye in folded space
I see you with the colours and frenzy of the sacred rooms
We've met in those dreams; blue water ran towards the green sky
The gods spoke to us in their infancy
Suns waiting for us to smitten them with the flames of our disease
And we did so laughing, giving birth to sunrises in our wake
Never in need of sleep, nor in need of truth
I would never have stayed in the darkness, and we would ascend
The taste of ash, no stars above – No green grass below
The last words set ablaze as we saw the inner imagery
How it all came alive when we no longer reached for it
How it all rose and overwhelmed the speechless (us)
In this house without words we came to be one
In these books without text we found the way
A path along a faded memory, without the fear of finding home
We would never have stayed
We would never have stayed
We would never have stayed in the darkness
We would never have stayed
We would ascend
05 - Bounded By Allegiance
Brought here by sorrow
Raised in depths of fear
Consuming sanity
Feasting on the joy of Man
Surrounding the trembling mind
Surrounding the troubled soul
Strenght failed to tame the serpent
The offspring of laughter and sadness
Saved by the power of it's kin
Obeying the whispering chaos
Pulsating underneath your skin
Feasting 'till the end of time
Denying all peace within
Fearing the freedom it never feels
Bounded by allegiance
To long gone sanity
It hurts deep below
Emerge at the last step
06 - Violet Dawning
I am part of the darkness
Used to watch from afar
Sensing the violence of morning
And breathing..And waiting for nothing
Devouring the spirit, grinding the heart
There are good things in the burning fields
There's peace in the slaughtered flesh
There's life in the frozen seeds
I'll dream in the deserts
And comfort the thirst for seeing
The violet dawn in the distance
Beckons me to steal its light
I'll wait for you here
I'll wait for you here
I'll wait for you here
I'll wait for you here
07 - Return To Yggdrasill
A new sound heard throughout the
land
From which the spirits had left ages ago
Sacrifice and honour replaced by betrayal and usurpers
A trail of sweat and blood, a gathering to the pagan outer worlds
For ages we have wandered
Under the wings of deception
Too long have we been waiting
For the long winter to end
An uprising by those that claim the Supremacy of One
Against the misleaders of the blind, deceivers of the Masses
Man can no longer claim ignorance as reason for waiting
It is all for the taking, the world for their making
We will gather again
Under the leaves
We will gather again
In honour of the nine nights
For ages we have wandered
Under the wings of deception
Too long have we been waiting
For the long winter to end
We will gather again
To praise the courage
We will gather again
To watch the harvest
08 - Secrets Of The Flesh
(instrumental)
09 - Neogenesis
Navigation by the fires of dead
worlds
Towards the shores of Neogenesis
Navigation by the fires of dead worlds
Towards the shores of Neogenesis
Distant self now cut through, approaching infinitely
Racing hearts throbbing deep beneath the painted bones
Mars opens the hidden doors to Venus
Lunar flight crashing into solar storms
Blinding unification – vertigo – ecstatic curtain fall
Set ablaze by inner arson, endlessly reborn
Winds, oh the winds that speak of your salt and blood
Break open the dam, flood the deserts
Shocking white pulsar radiant dreams drawn in night sky
Ice-glazed branches undead by rays from an impossible sun
Crystallized pathways towards runic chambers concealed within the
microcosmos
Revert away from the predicament, flee across the abyss
Severing the fetal cords spawning fusions by the thousands
Through bent space created black channel – pagan relay
Sensations of flesh flickering
Praising death through bleeding eyes
Neogenesis
10 - Outro: Communion
