Dark Lunacy The Rain After the Snow 1. Ab Umbra Lumen It was never enough What the Age Of Gold was to me - it was fear behind the veil of Bride of Night I’ve ran from suffering Life was a prodigy of eternal sheer The Widow never thought the same way of me I have become an heartless one An epitaph of myself Deity’s shame No paradise Got to accept that I’m lost In the dark In pain Ab Umbra Lumen - Light is taking me I am the void - through martyrdom from barrenness I’ll flee - just once more The wanderer is looking for atonement for the shining pride, to cleanse the riverside, Tear apart Her veil of lies - rip Her heart! It has come the time, to get out of this wood I want to die facing Her - in her eyes I have become an heartless one An epitaph of myself Deity’s shame No paradise I’m lost In the dark In pain To the Moon I sold the weakest of souls and all my Sense and the whitest of words and my pure and the timeless beauty devoured my Mind ‘cause I feared the End I’m lost In pain "Through my endless downfall I find my missing soul Inside over my shadows I tried to save the dreamer " 2. Howl Howl Gaunt and pale I count my endless scars I’ve tried and tried to open up my heart searching for that spark Ignite and purify my empty star We’re running out of time Set the pace of this decay A deathly hour is closing in Howling to the sacred Father of Time: scatter my embers! Don’t let your son desecrate my fate my grave Right, howling against your control! Show me what I’ll remember what will remain in this fog! Lord, you shan’t control my path! I’ll show you how we’re all just an echo in Time “Forget the past and dream the future burns in your hands the flag of death” Look at me, I’ll live my shameless life I’ll try and try! Look into my eyes, I’ll stop the swing of ages Lower your gaze, what can you see? Prayers are meant for those who believe For our stubborn doubts To dignify our faults The swing of your blade is taking my core Nothing remains when the shadows are gone What I cry for, it’s mine I’ll drink my tears and howl Right, howling against your control! Show me what I’ll remember what will remain in this fog! Lord, you shan’t control my path! I’ll show you how we’re all just an echo in Time “Forget the past and dream the future burns in your hands the flag of death” Look at me, I’ll live my shameless life I’ll try and try! Look into my eyes, I’ll stop the swing of ages and I’ll save my soul tonight, again. 3. King with No Throne The silence of snow plays its mighty chant. Winter hear my fears! Do tears make a sound when everything is still? You taught me how to cry… And yet I am here short of diamonds in my eyes I forgot how to walk on my favorite stage To dance without falling, to speak without faltering To love my inner being… Winter, hit back at me! I’ll steal away your crown Inside your kingdom how would you call me? A king with no throne? A fool with no home? Inside the snowstorm what makes us even? The frailty of our feelings, their being errant? There must be something here, pounding in our chests. Don’t ask me to pretend, I won’t do that. Give me back the innocence in my choices, Don’t you know this is what I’m waiting for? Inside your kingdom how would you call me? A king with no throne? A fool with no home? Inside the snowstorm what makes us even? The frailty of our feelings, their being errant? No shadows, no suffering I restrain my soul from flying high “Inside my kingdom would you call me a king without throne a kingdom burns without a king” “Die, diamond, die, in my eyes Die, diamond, die, innocence in my choices” Winter, face me, praise my lavish farce! All this fret on stage, just eases all my fears Finally, the truth is we’re living this alone, after all our strains, the final curtain comes to caress us… Inside your kingdom how would you call me? A king with no throne? A fool with no home? Inside the snowstorm what makes us even? The frailty of our feelings, their being errant? Each snowflake I swallow it just tastes the same, but how bitter would I ever be outside your world? The further I walk, the more I drift away Often I feel that… I …restrain my soul, from flying high The silence of snow, played its mighty chant Winter, hear my fears… 4. Gold, Rubies and Diamonds In this coldest winter the rain bites the ones with a human sentiment And you won’t remember the warmness of spring Of spring The town cries in silence, in hopes of seeing justice for all But this winter will dry off the mind Steady distant wings This soul wants to stay More alive than life itself - she won’t survive Happy indeed I was loved by all embracing all the good souls this said Truth And Death stole me away all the sighs, embracing my memories And the Swallows bring the Spring but the Winter brought a Swallow and she brought Spring to Winter Let this Spring ignite all my soul And Death stole me away all the sighs, embracing my memories And Death stole me away all the sighs, embracing my memories and take my eyes, take my ruby, my gold leaves and fly for my life My gone life My gone life You decide to die here by my side Circles and circles around all my town In the frost you flied towards the other side Circles and circles - my wings made of wax Is this the end of a fairytale? Your journey …My journey “My forgotten hopes, your forsaken truth” 5. Precious Things There’s a wish in this night for redemption and light And I… I’m the essence of a sublime desire It will be done The preciousness of words shatters the blackness around We are prisoners of our time we are all broken inside Precious things are my mind’s wealth My last hope Dreams lost in a white night Illusion froze the tide My longing for redemption of my pride Calling for one more heavenly fire In a season of lunacy of humanity How many times will I remember my wasted fights? Always remember falling again Shadows of my nonsense clenched my clarity Nocturnal sorrow waits for me Will you stay here while despair takes me? We are prisoners of our time we’re all broken inside Precious things are my mind’s wealth My last hope Dreams lost in a white night Illusion froze the tide My longing for redemption of my pride and love Precious things in my mind slip away from my sight I run to the shore of the river and you walk away and I mourn There’s a time for rage a moment for deceit The memories stay and lull me into lies Will they rock me to sleep? The beginning of the end I’m learning to survive all night after night Learning to breathe while all smothers me Precious things bleed inside myself, in the corners of my mind I’m prisoner of nights I’m all broken inside Precious things are my mind’s wealth My last hope Dreams lost in a white night Illusion froze the tide My longing for redemption of my pride and love Bleed away now 6. Tide of My Heart Fighting against my solitude, against my broken rhymes I am lost in your wound - I know in the dead of the night you’ll light up all my way A flash that crossed time Not to throw to wind We walked through the abyss A story in our hands - of two souls in the dead calm and storm Everything - an unsung chant Nothingness - the void unclimbed Fighting against this new prospect, Against a million tears ‘Cause I’m lost in your dream - I know in this fading life - I can’t stand reality Fragments of my life never fall into symmetry No regrets - will never fail the symmetry Марина, ты волна моего сердца Everything - an unsung chant Nothingness - the void unclimbed “I will never get used to you, neither to being surprised, nor to the private thoughts about you either. You are what I will dream about tonight, what will be dreamt about me tonight. (To dream or to be dreamt of?). An unknown “I” in a strange dream. I never expect you, I always arouse you. If someone dreams of us together…” A flash that crossed time Not to throw to wind We walked through the abyss of sand and water in dead calm and storm Everything - an unsung chant Nothingness - the void unclimbed Everything - an unsung chant Nothingness - the void unclimbed Fighting against my solitude, the one of a ghost… 7. The Rain After the Snow Rain fell Rain kissed me Snow died back to my earth Springtime, what takes me? I’m here, but my drapes They will fall forevermore before the world in fear Life, cry your tears leave behind memories of a past hard to leave Spring, comest thou! I forgot the last Snow… I’ve been stolen of the prayer of a child All their answers were vain, help me to hide my seasons… They will fall forevermore before the world in fear Life, cry your tears leave behind memories of a past hard to leave and heal hard to conceal SNOW COME BACK NE’ER LEAVE ME Snow will fall forevermore at the feet of a rainy soul Let your will soar let the rise of a dream freeze the sea of despair Rain will fall forevermore over the fate of all men Snow will fall forevermore at the feet of a rainy soul Rain will fall forevermore over the fate of all men 8. Life Deep in the Lake Remember me - in this fallen night Remember all my promises and deep in this lake you’re swimming down down to deceit This is myself - This is your fate Can you see me, miserable and divine? I cry among these waters - and remember me, I was fragile You break the surface with no regret - your dignity at stake Your joy for the past - your hope has gone in pieces, deceived by all these ghosts - the life at the end of the lake Drowning forever My wildside - and my pride and you really counted on all I said holy water for your damnation This is myself - This is your fate Can you see me, miserable and divine? I cry among these waters - and remember me, I was fragile You break the surface with no regret - your dignity at stake Your joy for the past - your hope has gone in pieces, deceived by all these ghosts - the life at the end of the lake Drowning forever Remain sane, cry and remain brave What flesh cut - it hurt itself This purity obscures the judgement I’m well aware of how it tastes ‘Cause shadows can belong to grace This goes I cry among these waters - and remember me, I was fragile You break the surface with no regret - your dignity at stake Your joy for the past - your hope has gone in pieces, deceived by all these ghosts - the life at the end of the lake Drowning forever 9. The Awareness Does it take all life to understand we’re just part of the same infinity? I’m now aware no-one will ever give my years back to me - except myself, my soul - The change defines the passing of time it’s the act itself masters this cruel hold There’s just one rule for us We walk alone, as you cry for me the trail of tears - I’m here I was told “remember you’re going to die” We should know first we’re meant to live Through the eyes of time I decide to tread on path of Utopia not of survival Set the vision of my world No prayers to comfort my very last journey You’ll keep all the answers I left in my room of doubts We walk alone, as you cry for me the trail of tears - I’m here There you will keep all my words there in your hearts, untamed No more to write about, there’s still a lot to see there’s more than this more questions than answers My self-perception leads the way beyond this end this earthly matter I know it will always change… 10.
