Castle In Purple Visions (demo) 1. The Emperor's Children Children on their way Travelling through lands of snow They are on a mission Five, so they say Exposure... long ago Causing... purple visions Consumed by innocence When clouds of the lords collide, I did collapse too Swarms of (f)lies... enter our void Rearranging every kind of humanoid There is no-one to recreate our lost minds Petrified eyes, perceiving nothing, no one finds Walls of ice - exist no longer - we're exposed Remaining lies - growin' stronger - heaven's closed Children on their way Travelling through lands of snow They are on a mission Five, so they say Exposure... long ago Causing... black collisions There is no God but Man, he's the Emperor 2. Exposed... Since long... been floating... through oceans... alone... Big walls of ice protect me for the outside It's cold inside, a neverending grey night Despite the safety, I dream and moan They're always about the same they're warm But warmth becomes heat, it's growin': a red storm A long time ago, I did, trust a young God He did gave me warmth, he did care a lot! But as true Gods do, he faded, disappeared in the air Left me with my solitude, life isn't fair I did shape my wall Wrote my youth on a scroll Gods don't care after all The time consumer ate my life Benefiting from my age of strife Now warmth is kept away And everyday is the same day [Guitar solo: Ilja] [Keyboard solo: Richard] My eyes they stare through tunnels of glass... Slowly the second sunrise appears It's purple rays, they melt, come near Memories dripping, I remember how it was But it wasn't worth it for an innocent mermaiden I've lost his feelings and lost his faith. A long time ago, I did, trust a young God He did gave me warmth, he did care a lot! But as true Gods do, he faded, disappeared in the air Left me with my solitude, life isn't fair I did shape my wall Wrote my youth on a scroll Gods don't care after all The time consumer ate my life Benefiting from my age of strife Now warmth is kept away And everyday is the same day I now do have an alternative I have the choice to stay or to live Once I loved. It hurts a lot Where is he? Where is he now, your Son of God 3. The Lake Mesmerizing depths - My soul jarred Overwhelming isles - Grabbing my eyes Darkened water - She's Acheron's daughter A siren's whisper - Telling old lies Ancient beauty - Deceiving duty In this lake - Innocence dies For years and years I swam, there's no border My thoughts so cold, I can't think any further Grappling lies, there just - Disorder... Chilling winds, crushing cold, my warmth is sold I'm so tired, endurance left, my broken brains She did use my young flesh, until it crashed No more colours. All there's left, are my inner pains I'd still could dive and swim My fire is burning, it isn't frozen yet The past, it's bleeding, it's awfully looking grim Yellow roses, slowly we're turned from red I'm drowning inside, the pain I can't hide I'm obliged to change my life, I won't survive my last dive I'm drowning inside, the pain I can't hide. Lies!!! [Solos: Ilja, Richard, Ilja, Richard] Slowly realizing I wasn't dead No more drowning inside my head My meaning of life, converted to sin My dreams they are perverted to what I've been Whisper's lose their breath Dying their own death Sunlight burning me blue I denied because of you 4. Unicorns I Have Known In puffs of balm, the night air blows The perfume which, they day foregoes Watching the liquid sky above the hill Yearning - the fields are still In the midnight forest the dark oak trees don't move (As if I had the silence itself to prove) Suddenly he appears, a milk white creature With the proud form of a horse He moves his head, I recognize my saviour My future foretold did change it's course The silver moonlight running like sea water Along the pearly spiral of his horn Am I his daughter? Deserving his scorn And on the pure fading horizon far, See pulsing with the firstborn star. The Unicorn I have known, the fear I've shown Watching the liquid sky above the hill The evening it comes slowly, the fields are still In the midnight forest the dark oak trees don't move As if they had the silence itself to prove And on the pure fading horizon far, See pulsing with the firstborn star. The Unicorn I have known, the fear I've shown [Solo: Richard]
