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 04:39
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 03:03
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 08:06
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

about

The legend of the three gods of creation,
The final day of creation,
And how even gods aren't eternal.
