Before the dawn
Eternal night
End of the cycle
Beginning of the new
Before the dawn
Before time
Eternal night
Tracing the pattern
End of the cycle
End of the line
Beginning of the new
Beginning of the new
Rebirth! Rebirth!
See the ashes of yesterday
Forget what was, calm your blood
The soil for a new beginning
Regeneration of this realm
For creation to rise
Step out of the void
Brothers and sisters, step into the light
For aeons we slept but creation is calling
Now cross the river into our new world
For aeons we slept but creation is calling us
Stars! Light up the void!
Time! Tear open this wound!
Rebirth! From the ashes!
Once more! Rise!
At dawn
A universe awake
End of this night
Beginning of the day
Brothers and sisters, step into the light
For aeons we slept but creation is calling
Now cross the river into our new world
For aeons we slept but creation is calling us
Brothers and sisters, step into the light
For aeons we slept but creation is calling
Now cross the river into our new world
For aeons we slept but creation is calling us

Sunrise

In silence a new realm lies before me
Calm and serene
Touched by the first light
The unending cosmos, newborn child
Break the silence just for that one day
Wake up, wake up
As time flows
Into this new realm
A blank slate
To tell a new story
As the sun rises
On a new day
Fertile soil
To plant the seed
Kissed by the stars in their spheres
Divine creation, newborn child
Break the silence just for that one day
Wake up, wake up
As the sun rises
On a new day
Fertile soil
To plant the seed
As the sun rises
On a new day
An empty canvas
For creation to draw on
As the sun rises
On a new day
An empty canvas
For creation to draw on
As time flows
Into this new realm
A blank slate
To tell of a new story

Ursprung

Aus der Erden Höllentoren
Feuerzungen steigen auf.
Die Fluten tragen nährend
Den Samen der da Leben bringt.
Kleine Wesen, tief geboren
Wütend is doch schon der Krieg,
Der tobend treibt sie weiter vor zu
Überwinden, überwuchern.
Gewachsen am Tod des and'ren
Bleibt auf ewig nur ein Ziel:
Immer fort sich selbst zu nähren
Bis man neues Leben schenkt.
Das Fleisch sich um den Knochen windet
Wie der Efeu um den Stein.
Grund sich öffnet, Erde bricht
Aus Samen neues Leben wächst.
Kühle Mutter, faulend Ende
Jeder Kreis erneut beginnt.
Frucht des Fleisches, wied'geboren
Erneut sich aus der Asche hebt.
Ew'ger Kreis, der Götter Spiel,
Sterblich ist nur die Figur.
Es kreucht, es fleucht, die Erdenbrut
Auf der Such nach ihrem Ziel.
Getragen vom Strom der Zeit
Wandelt sich, was leben will.
Nach Größe strebt man immer fort,
Doch 'lischt des Lebens' Flamme früh.
Die, die kommen, werden leben,
In der Welt für sie geformt
Auf den Schultern von Titanen
Erhebt sich eine neue Welt
Auf den Schultern von Titanen
Mit weiten Schwingen, neugeboren
Erhebt sich eine neue Welt
Translation:
From earth's hellish gates
Tongues of flame ascend.
The tide brings the seed
That will bring life.
Small creates, lowly-born,
But a war rages,
That forces you to
Surpass. overgrow.
Growing on the other's death
Forever only one goal remains:
To gorge oneself
Until you give new life.
The flesh winds around the bound
As the vine winds around the rock.
Ground opens, soil breaks,
From seed new life grows.
Cold mother, rotting end,
Every circle starts anew.
Fruit of flesh, reborn,
Once again rises from the ashes.
Eternal cycle, game of the gods,
Only the piece is mortal.
The earthly spawn creeps
Searching for its destination.
Carried by the currents of time,
What wants to live, will change.
Everything persues greatness,
But life's flame dies early.
Those to come will live
In a world made for them.
On the shoulders of titans
A new world rises.
On the shoulders of titans,
With wide wings, reborn,
A new world rises

Trace the pattern
The divine spark
In the natural
Machine
On the last beat
Life embraces
What remains
Of you
A process
Unending
Embracing
All living
Fragile survivors
Heirs to all who could not breathe here
Survivors
Nurtured by the heavens' tears
Fragile survivors
Heirs to all who could not breathe here
Fragile survivors
Nurtured by the heavens' tears
Trace the line
To its end
Narrow idea
Yet strong
Constant change
Blind selection
Never rest
Mutate
A process
Unending
Embracing
All living
Replication of the source code
Contamination
Adapting to survive
Sequential information duplicated
Mutated blueprint
Adapting to survive
Change is the only constant
Beauty with no comparison
Is just white noise
Change is the only constant
Like a virus, adapt
Change is the only constant
Beauty with no comparison
Is just white noise
Change is the only constant
Like a virus, adapt
Don't fool yourself
A small obstacle like death
Never held you down!
Replication of the source code
Contamination
Escaping the void
Sequential information duplicated
Survive
Trace the circle
Neverending line
Imperfect design
Reborn
No delusion
All will end
One day
Embraced by life
A process
Unending
Embracing
All living

Request
02:27
|

Mother, we step before you
Brothers and sisters united as one
We have only one request
Cycle after cycle, we create and we destroy
Following the urge you gave us
Will there ever be an end?
Is this your perfect plan?
Creation and obliteration?
Stepping out of the void for just so short?
Before returning to nothingness
Eternally wandering, with no guidance
Your silence left unbroken
After all the aeons
Justification still unspoken
Keeping to yourself
Your silence left unbroken
After all the aeons
Justification still unspoken
Keeping to yourself
We have only one request...
Free us...
Free us from our duty...

Silence

Standing on the ashes of a thousand worlds I have to ask
Is this why you created us?
Is this what you had in mind when you gave us life
And the burden of love?
Forced by our nature to be creator and destroyer
Never truly satisfied
Beyond the flesh - buried - lies a shard of our souls!
Beyond the flesh a ghost to preserve the divine spark!
We killed them a thousand times
The urge won't stop
Every day they are reborn
And still the urge won't stop
We can't see, we can't breathe
We're lost in your plan
Gods to them but just slaves
Bound to our blood
Your silence left unbroken
After all the aeons
Justification still unspoken
Keeping to yourself
Your silence left unbroken
After all the aeons
Justification still unspoken
Keeping to yourself
We killed them a thousand times
The urge won't stop
Every day they are reborn
And still, the urge won't stop
We can't see, we can't breathe
We're lost in your plan
Gods to them but just slaves
Bound to our blood
Do we really have to embrace what we can't change?
Can't you see them the same way you see us?
Breathing their last breath, everyday
Just to be reformed on the next
Beyond their flesh - buried - lies a shard of our souls!
Beyond their flesh a ghost to preserve the divine spark!
We killed them a thousand times
The urge won't stop
Every day they are reborn
And still the urge won't stop
We can't see, we can't breathe
We're lost in your plan
Gods to them but just slaves
Bound to our blood
The tears wash away in the river...
But have no illusions!
We won't forgive you!

Never did I think I would witness
Our creations becoming creators themselves
Mortal construct, surpassing all limitations
No less divine than its architect
In the garden
A delicate flower blooms
Casting shadows back to us
Back to us
In the sun
Our children
Caught a glimpse
Of the flower that blooms shortest
Heavenly tears!
Nourished
What would soon be
Creators themselves
In the garden
A delicate flower blooms
Casting shadows back to us
Back to us
In the sun
Our children
Caught a glimpse
Of the flower that blooms shortest
Heavenly tears!
Never did I think I would witness
Our creations becoming creators themselves
Mortal construct, surpassing all limitations
No less divine than its architect
Our beautiful children
Driven by their fleeting existence
Driven to create
Cloaked in sunlight
Casting shadows past the horizon
Dreaming of their own world
Dead dreams of a greatness
A race soon to follow
Ignorance reflected
A spark in their eyes
A liferaft of memories
One by one forgotten
And never replaced
Soon to drown
So blind to their obsession!
No less than we!
They gave us names and over names they fought
So blind to their nature!
No less than we!
They can't see they are the same!
So blind to their greatness
No less than we!
Instead they fight in the mud of brother's blood!
Dissonance to drive the harmony
Engine of complexity
Winding ever higher
Towards one higher goal
Dreams that fuel creation
So beautiful, never to wake
Fears that fuel destruction
So terrible, never to sleep again
In the garden
A delicate flower blooms
Casting shadows back to us
Back to us
In the sun
Our children
Caught a glimpse
Of the flower that blooms shortest
Heavenly tears!
Dead dreams of greatness
A race soon to follow
Ignorance reflected
A spark in their eyes
A liferaft of memories
One by one forgotten
And never replaced
Soon to drown
Fleeting bonds
Helpless, self-inflicted
Terminal disease
No need for a cure
So scared of trust
So scared of themselves
So scared of memories
So scared of their dreams
From the day they knew themselves
They hated each other
From the moment they knew themselves
They hated themselves

Nightfall
08:18
|

The sun past the zenith
Every day must end
And night falls
A realm plunged in darkness
Damned to crumble
Our children fall
Can't we break those chains?
Can't they escape their fate?
All that rises has to fall
Slave to its nature
As are we
Trapped in this continuum
Cosmic cycle
No!
Is this really the only path to take?
I don't want to end it like this...
Is there really no way to break the cycle?
No way to change their fate?
One final sacrifice
To let our children become divine
Before the fire turns to ember
Our souls will fly, defying
Break those chains that bind you
Our souls will fly
On this final day
A crack in the wall
A tear in the veil
To look behind
Could this be our redemption?
Our chance
To save their lives
We can break those chains
We can save them from their fate
Sacrifice ourselves
Escape our nature
Be set free
Embrace our void
Finally free
No rebirth
We have already waited for too long
Let our light shine one last time
Before the fire turns to ember
Our souls will fly, defying
Break those chains that bind you
Our souls will fly
