DARK TRANQUILLITY "A MOONCLAD REFLECTION" 7" '92. UNFURLED BY DAWN (lyrics: Stanne) Time and space unite era of darkness - we mourn Times of sorrow despite our preach is put to scorn... In ways like these I shall be reborn to my words I conform To seek the path of knowledge through time In a life in a lack of rhyme (or reason) Subconcious powers flow - we burn the ways forlorn Am I in time with forces I am born Are those disguised Excuse is being dumb In spirit fails... Self realization in supreme conciousness Explore the self - within a millenia of peace Reach into the soil of humankind Bury secrets beneath this hallowed ground Feel the wind of time now changing Hear the voice that whispers near Explore the inner strength within you now seek deep in your soul - it'll show you how Join us - in this quest to satisfy Join us - and none shall mortify I've seen the light unfurled by dawn I've seen the blackest ways we scorn We shan't conform - we shall remain... "I've seen the void that echo fear" Fly into this void of inner consioucness we seek eternally Greet enlightned ways... I spead out wings of knowledge is essential in mournful times like these Words I repent Voice from inner self shall lead my way Former ways of life I repent to inner consciosness I've ascent Mortal way of living is the key Key to the secret it beholds Come to seek the path with me in unfathomable harmony the way life is meant to be enjoy and just adore life... Burning desire in thee letting your soul fly free No sould shall be the same burn with a different flame Sowing the seeds of man proving the things your can Seeing the things that'll be the priors in life I can see Each of mankind is a star that will keep on shining eternally Unveil the hidden unknown things in mind enchanted over things that you will find Join us - in this quest to satisfy Join us - and none shall mortify I've seen the light unfurled by dawn I've seen the blackest ways we scorn We shan't conform - we shall remain... In affection we loom - a reflection of time Walless prison, consumed - ignore irrelevance (a rule) Search the inner self - find the self within Finding things I've seen in dreams (seeing evermore) things that' s left unsaid Surrending to this inner force, feeling no remorse nothing to forbid In the empty eyes of the last of mortals those songs they echo as in halls of the enlightened Before this dawn of eternal light we stand once more now as darkness belongs to the forgotten ...to the forgotten Internal sadness cured through the light to reach the sadest river in sight Whispers of molten souls in my ear on wings of twillight I am born.... Now enthrone thoughts of the past the embryo of time Your life lies yet unfolded 'til enlightened ways we see In my dreams I've seen repention as in tales that were never told Join us - in this quest to satisfy Join us - and none shall mortify I've seen the light unfurled by dawn I've seen the blackest ways we scorn We shan't conform - we shall remain... YESTERWORLD (lyrics: Stanne) Over the moor of mist and through valleys of fate I fly on my voyage through this moonlit landscape of re-emerged figments of imagination I am aroused in sleep....aroused in sleep Far beyond the gate which reflects in the closed eye reveal that a dreamscape lies therein A yearning for a world where the everlost find their peace In the pearly gates of dawn on the astral feed of minds - envenomed to the bone forever cleansed from all called wrath as slumber sneaks upon and steals the thought of man all ridden from inner aggression... A voyage beyond this world In this paralell to real life - access lies in dreams Unveil hidden secrets in our sleep - the key to what's beyond In the wake of man we see essential dreams unfulfilled Enhance the value of life engraved words on the page of man In the presence of the moon an owl awakes and calls a name tells a story of a world accessable only at night... "This ain't no dream..." Legend tells of a yesterworld a dreamscape of strange light "It's your dream coming true" Transcendance of the soul All by the sign of the moon I am eaten away in mouthfuls by flames that burn in the errors of our ways In a night when the sky floats blue as touquoise, and the stars of silver are twinkling in their outmost pride Now from dimensions fallen from the skies - like the flow of a stream From my sleep I continue onward - sleep is just a shape of destiny Weak sunlight of dawns to come, dancing swiftly in the shadows Shimmering, shining in a landscape of dreams ...landscape of my dreams Dim reflections of the pale a shade of grey in mind In the presence of the moon an owl awakes and calls a name tells a story of a world accessable only at night... "It's your reality..." Legend tells of a yesterworld a dreamscape of strange light "It's much more than a dream" Transcendance of the soul All by the sign of the moon Soon these worlds will be one and mankind feasts on the sights of it all I yearn for things to come Still wrapped in the thrall of slumber as the mist slippes away to reveal... And the wind tears a scream from my lips - I am there.... In the dreamscape I adore (a moonclad reflection)
