Sirenia The 13th Floor 1. The Path To Decay Life brings nothing for the same Keep searching new days on the horizon While time just seems to slip away I'm leaving no trace along the way Seems like I'm falling deeper, deeper inside myself Feels like I'm growing weaker, much weaker each day Along the path to decay The lights are fading day by day No cure for the lost, there's no ascending When life could not become more pale A new dawn is here, another day Seems like I'm falling deeper, deeper inside myself Feels like I'm growing weaker, much weaker each day Along the path to decay Darkness within myself.... Seems like I'm falling deeper, deeper inside myself Feels like I'm growing weaker, much weaker each day Along the path to decay 2. Lost In Life A fading hope and a broken dream Is all there is for me It's all there was and will ever be And I keep falling further down We are lost in this life, you and I We've been living a lie Time keeps passing us by, but we can't deny We've been lost all the time There's no way to cope for these wasted years Nor for these long lost tears I'm giving in to all my fears As I keep falling further down 3. The Mind Maelstrom I can feel a sorrow linger in my mind And the dark that follows Makes me falter in my life There's a darkness, there's a light A narrow path and a wide There is no tomorrow for the lost and blind There's no glee, nor sorrow In the maelstrom of their minds There's an hour, there's a time Is this the end of the line? There's a fire fading deep within Lost its spark, its will to be There are seven doors within my dreams I've found them all, but still no key 4. The Seventh Summer The vapour in my mind makes it hard to find The things in life that I lost back in time And the trail of my heart has turned all roads so dark So hard to find, so hard to overcome And all the things that I believed were true Were never roots to anything but lies To demons in disguise And all the roads that I've been strolling down Now I've found they all seem to be marooned So profoundly doomed And the vapour in my heart makes it hard to love The things in life that I used to love And the trail of my soul, has made me feel so cold So lost in life, so down and so alone Aeons are passing in the blink of an eye Moments frozen, all the years I've tried to deny Memories haunt me as the years pass me by Feel the dusk, feel the fall, feel the winter inside On the seventh summer of my life Saw you turn your back on it all, and left me far behind There's a river between us, it's become so wide I wish that you could be right here To mend my broken life 5. Beyond Life's Scenery There's a voice that speaks of time There's a growing void inside There are doors in life that I can't seem to find There's a fire in my dreams Fading day by day it seems There's a narrow path beneath the fallen leaves The years we tried to deny Still haunt us now There's a garden deep within Where all life is withering There's a fall and there's a wall and there's a sin There are nails through my heart All hope is torn apart There are footsteps leading to my epitaph I see you stand forsaken On a desolate and distant shore You have been lost for so long No one can ever take you back to how it was Down, feeling down, falling down, sinking further down Misery circles around Wane, feel the pain, gone insane and this life's to blame Seems like it's all in vain Dark, the past was dark, the present's dark, the future seems so dark Alike our hearts Deep is the sleep that life keeps beyond it's scenery What life sows, we'll never reap The years we tried to deny Still haunt us now The pain still burns deep inside As life flows by 6. The Lucid Door In my dreams A lucid door is fading as the walls close in On all my dreams I walk with you through fire Through endless nights and everlasting desire Wane...all the lights they seem to fade All so dim and all so frail They all seem to pass away I can see them getting weaker every day Silent screams And stalking strangers Haunt me in my darkest sleep I feel them stare at me A thousand eyes on fire Penetrate my mind when I'm all wired All so high and wired Enigmatic is the wheel of time Loosing grip as the years pass me by Drifting further away from the light Into the arms of an endless night I still cling on to the will to be Though overthrown by life's insanity Collapsing in anxiety Will the demons ever set me free? 7. Led Astray I go through the pages of my own life, day by day Like a dream on the horizon, they seem so lost All led astray I see them passing away These feelings inside me Keep bringing me further and further down Been lost for so long, can't find my way home I don't even know where I belong I've faced all the ages all alone, by myself Never ending is the treason in every night And every day The circle drives me insane 8. Winterborn 77 There is a feeling deep inside As dreary as a winternight It darkens all my pride And drives away the light There is a feeling in my soul It feels marooned and far too cold I stand alone to face the wheel of time unfold Darkness falls inside of me And the sorrow's growing day by day And though my life's a broken memory There's a door and there's a key Sorrow comes with silent tears And the dawn still haunts my darkest fears What have we both become throughout these years There's a serpent in all tears There is a river in my dreams That runs so wide, that runs so deep And by its riverine I still can hear you weep There is a winter in my heart So freezing cold and utter dark It keeps me down and tears my sanity apart 9. Sirens Of The Seven Seas Lead me down to the sea To where the sirens call and where the waves are raging free Sing for me, all of your sweetest melodies And then let me drown into your arms, into the sea Hear the sirens of the sea They're calling for our hearts and they will have them eventually Sing for me, all sirens of the seven seas Take me away, lead me astray in your deceitful ways Hear a thousand voices calling me Down by the deceitful sea They sing for me The sirens of the seven seas Their eyes are all fixed on me I heard you call my name On a stormy day From beneath the waves I watched you slip away And I knew it was far too late 10.
