Myriads Introspection 1. Enigmatic Colours Of The Night [Music: Myriads, Lyrics: Alexander Twiss and Mona Undheim Skottene] I investigate a power in me that always has been lying latent to gain a spiritual and physical invulnerability I am flying from windstorms and thunderbolts, they will never capture me She searches the extreme in every part of herself, no barriers can keep her from realizing her dreams There are vast powers in man which normally are unknown, lying latent deep inside, hidden for them to see [Chorus] Reach the insurmountable, limits exceeded She is the one that has competence I am growing wilder, I am leaving what I was in I am glowing brighter, I have the power to win She is glowing brighter, she has the power to win I am diving deep against all currents, I make the water circulate She uses all abilities in herself, she finds strength in the deepest gaps of her nature The secret to gain all the is unveiled in situations where they are vital [Chorus] Unthinkable, enormous and obscure force Was it for real what she just did? She seems bewitched, with unlimited powers Are such actions controlled and deliberate? Malignant I penetrate your soul, Invoking you with witchery She is moving faster into another condition filled by penetrating metaphysics Sometimes man goes too far abusing their latent forces Then it might be too late to regret their recent actions [Chorus] I am growing wilder, I am leaving what I was in I make the fire wherein new life will begin And after twilight when every colour turns grey, with my abilities I see a different way I have the wisdom To see the dark as a light, I view the truth of Enigmatic colours of night 2. Miserere Mei [Music: Myriads, Lyrics: Alexander Twiss and Mona Undheim Skottene] Like the falling star on the firmament I view the vast horizon Planets drift by in the nebula Grand movements paralyze me My reflection seem to be endless Embellished thoughts of limitless starlight gather The outer rim of sanity Path of destiny Proud forest rises towards the sky, in awe I stand silent Green path of life amalgamates With my own belief [Chorus] Follow me further through This flight of chaos In misery and pain I am, I wander through this cherished path In despair I am pitiful, haunted by a brooding doubt Please assuage this agony and wash away my misery, into great oceans and grand seas where the source of life began Melting into the universe being part of the cosmos The starless night embraces me My thoughts are bewildered Am I misplaced here in this world, alone in my grief? Procreate life and let it grow in outlandish landscapes Feeling subordinated, outshined by earth [Chorus] Miserere mei Deus Secundum magnam misericordiam tuam et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum dele iniquitatem meam Anguish in me, kills me, relieves me I weaken now compared to nature I am nothing, please bear with me Upon this fertile planet I stand in broad daylight I am caressed gently by a sun which enlightens my mind It never perceived my shadow nor my grief and my sorrow I am merging into the fire Cosmic unity [Chorus] Am I infused by the earth? Did the world have a birth? Life filled by fertility in an astral unity Elements perpetually, circling eternally Affliction in me, helps me, relieves me Like the falling star on the firmament I am the great horizon Planets drift by in the nebula Grand movements encapsulate me The universe seems to be endless 3. Inside [Music and Lyrics: Alexander Twiss and Mona Undheim Skottene] As I look inside my self, I long to find a way I close my eyes; still images are streaming To disclose the core of my self, I long to find a way I close my mind but still the thoughts are floating Inside of me I listen to a silent sound behind my memories I am striving to see inside of me To solve my bewilderment and let it flow like energy Revealing my personality The path to my thoughts and my soul This maze is leading me Inside of me I am yearning to perceive myself I am embraced with my own intelligence That obstructs me From finding the sanctum 4. The Sanctum Of My Soul [Music: Mona Undheim Skottene, Alexander Twiss, J.P. and Mikael Skotdal, Lyrics: Mona Undheim Skottene and Alexander Twiss] Now I feel my mind is in a fever, infected with diseases from an alien source [Chorus] What is consciousness? A portrait of your self? Can mind exist alone and leave all material boundaries? Recognize the substance that surrounds me Locked in an embrace that is not really me [Chorus] Soul, feelings, body Endless, perceived, limited Imagine your body departed from your soul, still you have control of your thoughts Don't need any sense perceptions, impressions based on rationality Can you exceed time and space? I see my thoughts are enemies Viewing my mind from inside of me [Chorus] When every elemental part of my mind is reacting slower, I retreat inside Disregarding all space and time My integrity is clarified Changing my condition I depart from my consciousness In this atmosphere the anxieties are less I am drawing nearer the sanctum of my soul Inside me 5. Portal To The Mind [Music: Myriads, Lyrics: Alexander Twiss and Mona Undheim Skottene] As I dwell upon my own state feelings emanate like a flowing stream Strings of energy race through me Feverish images spin through my brain Gliding further into a stupor Your limbs are getting weaker, approaching the unknown Closing a trance-like state where surrealism reigns; limitless and beyond, your flight will soon begin [Chorus] Into my own world Delving into the sanctum of my soul Disclosing what's beyond Losing the grip of reality, worries relieved by my fantasy Senses tell me that I am falling backwards into a world within me Losing all contact with reality Your breath is getting slower, into an even rhythm Surrealistic impressions drags you further into the great void [Chorus] Falling into a profound sleep I gradually find a revelation from deep intuition and creativity I am comprehending mental parts that normally are hidden Is my dreamy mind a portal to the mysteries inside me? I am dragged down by strong back-currents, feeling desperate and in dismay Volcanic eruptions appear and persecute your moving self Cyclone drags you up and drops you down from greatest heights Thunderstorms and lightning frighten you to death Great tide ruins your footing, you are losing all control Claustrophobic manifestations are closing in on me Dark moor, slowly sinking You are stuck, legs can't move Mud covers your body and your eyes You are choking, but breathe without air Blinded by dirt in your eyes Consider yourself in a world without sense perception Follow our breath, we will embody you We will dry your heart with oil in water Subtle glimmerings cover me, I have empyreal visions in my misty thoughts Filled with doubt I am astonished, nebulous escape from reality You have lost control of your presence Transcendental landscapes exceed time and space Emancipated from all borders, you are present in perpetual dreams [Chorus] Melting into subterranean Reduse myself with sorcery, floating heavily in lethargy In the misty underground shadows emanate and evaporate like eidolon Shapes are minimalized, flash before your eyes, eldritch people you knew in the past, now separated from your common life, indelibly stamped on your memory Reveal your bad acts and thoughts How do you square it with your conscience? It's raining drops of music as the water falls down into the abyss, sounding like the rhythm of a drum It gets my feet to the dance around in valleys and ravines, I hear the soft vibration from the shaking aspen leaves It seems to me as a lovely lullaby, and suddenly the sky is glowing all in white Above me a family of swans are gliding The wind blowing colder, feathers are falling and cover my body softly while I rest on wings Into my eyes, into my heart I do absorb and subsist on experiences and perceptions that fills my mind and inner thoughts I am in a world beyond my thoughts where impressions stabilize my composure Rejoin my life, the moments of time I neglected Why do I dream in profound sleep? I cannot solve these mysteries Humanity and the universe are in a cosmic unity When the occurrences are colouring my dreams and hidden thoughts, It's like I am guided through different states concealed from my awakened mind 6. Falling In The Equinox [Music and Lyrics: Alexander Twiss and Mona Undheim Skottene] Lunar baby Glooming shadows cover you softly where you rest on the mossy ground Bathing in dew you dwell Do not fear, the sparrows will guard your nest Until October storms arise In autumnal equinox, maple leaves are falling and caress your body In the deepest forest you lie, pale and alone Leaves conceal your skin, even your bright eyes are hidden Sparrows cannot see you now You do not manage on your own, and soon the frost will penetrate your tender body Snow is falling in winter Flakes of crystal snow land on your sweet brow A star has fallen 7. Flickering Thoughts [Music: Myriads, Lyrics: Alexander Twiss and Mona Undheim Skottene] Frames of truth, I can see the falseness lying in thee, fills me with confusion and distrust Innocence, I can see the wildness figured in thee, reject the pose of injured chastity Quietness, I can feel the energies emission, precluding a stagnation of time Justify the truth which keeps my feet on the ground I am hidden in a veil of distrust and speculation With my own eyes I see through falseness and betrayal, with my own eyes [Chorus] There are no extremities around you Everything is influenced by an opposite There are no purities and perfectibilities There are no words of admonition You are imposing your thoughts on others, excluding their help and ideas without reflection You will be confined, your reality is overthrown Purity within my innocent presence I strive to live in virtuousness and reject indolence and delusion Without wildness I live in perfect harmony, without wildness [Chorus] Who are you to impose your thoughts and conceptions on others? You exist in false dreams and lies without veracity Predilection for yourself and your derelict ideas Deepened in your depraved world within your mind Do you really trust yourself, omniscient, pure and unaffected, following your own axioms? One can imagine the pure ideas of all states, but they do not really exist uninfluenced In silence the falling snow fortifies my feelings In solitude I am comfortable without energies around me Drifting into a timeless world without limitations, a timeless world [Chorus] I am on the dark side of the earth in perpetual night I am all alone with my shadow following my eyes I am longing for the sun touching my callous coldness Lost connection with ground, feeling a stagnation of time Like the mirror of water reflecting his shadow in his eyes, painted on the waves when they rise Looks for a place for landing, there is no place to settle down Fly into the clouds higher above I am on the dark side of the earth in perpetual night I am all alone with my shadow following my eyes I am longing for the sun touching my callous coldness Lost connection with ground, feeling a stagnation of time Flying higher in my wildness, far away from this place My thoughts are flickering in a maze Of wisdom and insanity Flying higher in his wildness, far away from this place His thoughts are flickering in a maze of wisdom and insanity 8. Encapsulated [Music: Myriads, Lyrics: Alexander Twiss and Mona Undheim Skottene] Like the mirror of water reflecting his shadow in his eyes, painted on the waves when they rise Looks for a place for landing, there is no place to settle down Fly into the clouds higher above This chaotic path in life influences my callous mind, it dwells in the deepest chasms amongst the shadows Your subtle thoughts create a poor absurd vision which enslaves you in this maze of madness and wisdom Hear, the wind tries to reach him, but surrounded by the walls of air, fearless is he, his weakness must be held inside [Chorus] Once he saw the golden daylight rising high Now with the earth he circles to follow the darkened light I am yearning to relinquish this haze of demented illusions I feel parted to the irrecognizable by multiple mirrors which are scattered everywhere Moving through the vault, suddenly your approach yourself Which token will guide you in this portal of the absurd? He is confined in a room between this broken mirror, twists the facts does his acts 'companied by the echoes of himself [Chorus] Blurred focus, blinded eyes Thoughts devoured, eternal hunger Lost judgement, reason declines Blackened vision, hope dies His final common sense will soon be impoverished by his untamable and self-destructive urge For him it seems like human souls scream in vain and agony Delusions and false dreams tear sanity apart Ray of light hits myriads of mirrors scattered everywhere, reflected back it hits his eyes and lays his mind waste forever I strive to break down the barrier which circles around me and have the possibility to sense your world Detached from reality and isolated in his world, he is lost for all time in a portal of the absurd Does not know there is a shadow drifting over his filmed eyes, keeps the light from his simple blinkered sight [Chorus] 9. The Ascent [Music: Alexander Twiss, Mona Undheim Skottene, J.P. and Rudi Junger, Lyrics: Mona Undheim Skottene and Alexander Twiss] I am rising over the raindrops, on the roof of glimmering rivers Dancing softly to burn all the sorrows, on the clouds where starlight always shines I am rising over the raindrops, on the roof of glimmering rivers Dancing softly to burn all the sorrows, on the clouds where sun always shines
