Orphaned Land The Beloved's Cry 1-Seasons Unite The rain falls, the snow storms The gods unleash their wrath The summer comes, sunlight swarms Fairies of magic laugh The green of leaves forsakes now Before to be exchanged with gray Before the king of winter bow And begin your wish to say As autumn falls upon us And we wait for a sign Waiting for the cold to pass Absorb it if we can To warmth I lust The swan song of a man For all you believers This darkness I make mine The freeze sends its shivers Up and down my spine Seasons unite, shining above my eyes The heat soon brings desire Burning my veins like fire The truth is actually a lie I watch myself burning higher Flesh to flesh we bind Yours is winter and summer is mine Could this be the end of the line Or a beginning (that shall) eternally shine 2-The Beloved's Cry My heart flies on her wings Now I'm crying, the moon so red Tomorrow shall be yet another hell To the sun, (the) sky's soul is fed Blows pass me (I'm) down them I do not feel Anything except the shadow is real Why did she do it ? Why did she die ? How could she leave without saying goodbye ? She has proven my life to be just a lie When sea waves crush they hit me hard But I do not feel them And then reality is no more real to me I ask myself, should I end it now And join her at last ? I miss the cold embrace of lust There's nothing left, just a dust Nothing is left from my dearest love 3-My Requiem >From the arising of the golden sun To the gloomy shadow of the moon The wind still whispers While I'm standing here by myself I'm waiting for a sign that could lead me Away to the land of the divine But when weariness starts to affect, The eclipse of the sun came to earth I hide from the sun and try to live And I know deep in my heart (That) this is a life that God cannot give I still carry in my mind The feeling that I'm blind I still carry in my mind The fear that something is behind Tear, left bare Rule the whole earth The dark will rise I await its birth - To die I see gray in the sky And pray for rain But the sky slowly becomes blue once again The spirit of God controles my mind The divine - The unearthly Lord He left me a sign - He made me a God I lie in eternal coldness I'm trying to find The thing I couldn't find Nowhere else in my past life My spirit sours into heaven I reincarnate into a cold black raven 4-Orphaned Land - The Storm Still Rages Inside The rain keeps on falling Filling the dried land It drinks the purity of life (The) land starts to grow It must be a sign A message from God's hand Like tears from the sky Water begins its flow Left alone, deserted so long ago The storm still rages inside Before the dawn rises I cannot see the light This land's ground grows weak Shall we find the path ? The preacher's words were right I can't see anyway to (the outer world) Tears do flow, yet can't conceal This land is barren, it does not feel Our self-made slaughter By our own hands Here lies the orphaned land... Suddenly lightning strikes the earth It marks the sign of my rebirth Seeds of love from myself evolve This cannot be living - without (your) safety The storm still rages inside... Invisible rays penetrate the ground This land to die is surely bound Suffer but doesn't scream Can this be a hopeless dream ?
