Suidakra The Arcanum 1. Wartunes [Music & Lyrics by Suidakra] Cold and lifeless lay the plains of lore Until finally silently a spirit evoke And timeless clansmen rose By the sound of the old Celtic tunes of war Rise... And feel the deadly breeze The scent of burning flesh For my blade thirsts for Another war Curse of the might to take Oh it`s a human bane To fan the fires To cause an higher aim Here we stand Brothers in war From the four Winds of the land High on the hills We stay proud and brave For Freedom is a right And serfdom a grave Death to our foes... War!!! Legions of greed Of fire and light A thousand pikes Fight as one man Stormlike enraged They fight `till they die The one to enthrall The other to survive 2. Last Fortress [Music & Lyrics by Suidakra] A petrified spell here where the stormwinds yell the crown of the reef and the land it defies High and statly the claw of the sea reach for the stars to distant skies Rising worlds behind my closed eyes a kingdom an island in an ocean of decay falling through ages my curse and delight to escape for a while the bleak neon light Taste of life is bitter sometimes so take your heart and your mind to bury it somewhere tear your soul apart sometimes when the main is roaring hear them moan to fall awake fighting with persistant power the joy of someone is the otherones sake 3. Dragonbreed [Music & Lyrics by Suidakra] Somewhere in time along the trace Of decay to a darker land Exchange the mystery with human tragedy A regal path to an dead end Streams of fire from the eldest time They merge right here To pour the seeds of Death Their sight and breath An anthem to the kill To finally pass the crown To the emptiness Oh here it lies, veiled in madness On the edge of sanitys precipice Oh here they fly, on shadow wings Eternity echoes of their cries Worship the tempest Feel the rapture of almightness To burn out and fall For their triumphal call Here is the darkest creature Reality ever beared Full of hate and wrath An herold of death For the dragonbreed Has grown in ashes They bear the evil seeds To fulefill the curs ...To ravage the earth 4. Rise Of Taliesin [Music & Lyrics by Suidakra] See the winter is coming Falling leaves dance to a silent tune I`ll take their hands I`ll make them stand When they`re all alone Years passed and the dawn of light Spread through time to leave tales behind The Queen of witches Gathered the wisdom For a year and a day Gwion takes care of the cauldron The spell is broken Flown into the youth They`re hunting and chasing Through the hills and braes The queen of witches swallowed the young lad So in year and a day Taliesin the wise rose from the dead [Chorus:] Praise the one who breaks the circle The one who dyes all grey away Laud the army of dwarves and elves Companions for the final day Now see the man in legends veiled A wise, a brave, of fortune hailed Now hear the man and his flaming rhyme Divinely anthems for glorious times The king of mortal And the source of wisdom For a year and a day Taliesin`s the guard of the cauldron [Chorus] 5. To Rest In Silence [Music & Lyrics by Suidakra] Fear his words creating worlds for now and ever a living memory Holding the crown he reigns all alone one man, one will but no destiny Straight through the memories of woe into the fields of buried glee here the wilting dreams below source and ending of this story Fall down to your knees to adore the lie Fill the power and right to reign in violence time and failure have sharpened our mind disarmed and voicless it finally has to rest in silence Hear the tales of thousands and one death of revange and wreath see the veils which cover our mind silently making us blind Silentium est aurum step back to where it once began silentium est aurum the adornment in our requiem So die in lies... He`s creeping through the dephts of living holding out until the end no remorse and no forgiving all he learned is to pretend 6. Gates Of Nevermore [Music & Lyrics by Suidakra] Time changes while we forge our fate passing the gates We set fire betrayed our past in the Illusion that nothing will last [Chorus...] See, the night is alight with our stateless flames we killed our gods buried their names Thousands of years filled up our lore while we`re marching through the gates of nevermore A heir to the crown roams all alone the blade of enlightment banished the shades lost in a maze, in a dreamless embrace oblivion - the tomb of our three fates All glittering wonders are finally shrouded lying wasted under a brocken spell our gods at the sky only fire and rock all beauty must die - wecome to hell [Chorus] 7. Serenade To A Dream [Music by Suidakra] [Instrumental] 8. The Arcane Spell [Music & Lyrics by Suidakra] Enter the circle Banish all fright - of the night Shadows whirl around Hunting and chasing the remained light Fall into the darkness Severed of reality Sable spirits dance around Laughing at your velleity They arouse all secret fears The innermost blemish Another phantom born in light Changes to the other side And through a maze Of howling images Through times of old Lies the arcanum unfold Attacked by discord Which devours your heart Crawl in despair To follow the light Aberrant mind Paralysed by fear Another soul is struck With the burden of sight Seasons of fire and ice Rise from the past into life Companions of reality Guardian of our time Memories of misery Shall be our sword and shield [Lead: Arkadius] 9. The One Piece Puzzle [Music by Skyclad, Lyrics by Martin Walkyier] Pick up the fragments and piece them together Tell me do you like what you've found? Are your thoughts like the earth spinning round? Existence is pure pantomime Why is life such a puzzle sometimes? Trapped in a world I no longer feel part of Each day is a thorn in my side Though I've carried my cross - worn my heart on my sleeve Still deep inside something has died. If men have a sell-by-date I've just reached mine Now we've come to the end of the line. Why is life such a puzzle sometimes? Well I just can't believe that it's happened again Always knew that it would - just a matter of when A lie was the last straw on this camels back And just like Lot's wife I could never look back. So maybe the reason I act so estranged Is you still dream of him, it's you that has changed. No method to madness - no raeson to rhyme Now we've come to the end of the line. Why is life such a puzzle sometimes? Well I just can't believe that it's happened again Always knew that it would - just a matter of when A lie was the last straw on this camels back And just like Lot's wife I could never look back. So maybe the reason I act so estranged Is you still dream of him, it's you that has changed. If men have a sell-by-date I've just reached mine Now we've come to the end of the line. Why is life such a puzzle sometimes?
