1. A Landscape Symphony (Introduction)
2. Cosmos...
I gase into the sky
My lips thrist evermore
Secrets undiscovered
Will I reach Valhall
Far beyond the universe
In this unknown land
Seek the truth eternally
Drift through cosmic sands
Centuries of sorrow
Thoughts as cold as ice
Flaming red this vast horizon
As I capture god's demise
Far beyond the universe
In this unknown land
Seek the truth eternally
Drift through cosmic sands
For There Are No Borders But The Ones You Create
Cosmos thy beginning
Beauty of this final dawn
Dreams of oceans crystal clear
Crown's everlasting thorn
3. Dark Clouds Rise Above The Kingdom
Oh hades I have been longing...
In ancient times there rose a kingdom
Splendid grand mysterious
I travelled on the left hand path
To see the uprise
And the fall...
Dark clouds rise above the kingdom
Last taste of life... bitter scent of times long forgotten
As I saw the sun... disappointed beyond the horizon
I knew from the bottom of my heart... it would be the last time
This stonewall of thoughts crumbled down
Still I looked up into the sky... beyond the stars
Beyond the universe...
For is it infinite for is it real
Shall my flesh be licked by eternity
Or will thy autumn of thoughts lead me
Into this winter of nothingness
At dawn I dead... through life
The tunnel embraces me... I fall
My name carved in stone... epitaph of souls
Flowers on my grave... certainty
I felt my black heart for there was no return
River Styx lead me to the truth
Summon the ancient gods destroy the feeble mind
I was reborn
4. Destiny Calls
[Instrumental]
5. The Overture Of The Night
[Chapter I of the Mephistopheles Saga]
See me disappear I fly away
This trail of tears... path of fears
The journey hath begun
My friend walk with me this road of myths
The spring of time... the spring of time
As we reach the end of time... my heart will bleed... please let me die
Peace... at last I reached infinity... nature's circle... journey of the mind
Tragedy of death
Roses turning black
Midnight mist is near
Silence I hear
Dusk possesses me
Threshold's freezing fear
Withering of flesh
Wilted flowers left
6. My Throne Of Wisdom
Longing for my desires reaching unknown borders
End of this final cycle
My throne of wisdom... the only one
Travel on this alley of stars... I joined the hall of souls
Shadows of passing dreams at last my wisdom arose
Out of the ashes of time
My throne of wisdom... the only one
Travel on this alley of stars... I joined the hall of souls
Knowledge will be mine
I reached the throne of wisdom
My eternal landscape
Let me burn in hell
The end of infinity the lake of thoughts
Will drown forever
7. Infinite Dreams
A cold wind breathes
Ancient mighty castle
I stood here on this mountaintop
My tears mixed with sorrow
The black waters shine
Descending thoughts of grief
The eagle rules the land
Hear the cry of the valley
The angel's eyes
Dark end of the rainbow
The grail to the truth
Infinite dreams
My longing is endless
Landscape... majesty
My last trail it has begun
Oh sunset this final time
The everflow ends
My only domain
Enthralled by this silence
Emptiness reigns
The angel's eyes
Dark end of the rainbow
The grail to the truth
Infinite dreams
These are my dreams of infinity
Last hour of life
Sonnets of nature
This step I'm prepared
Transcendence begins
Acquiescence with death
Afterlife is near
A dream in a dream
In these endless dimensions
8. I Will Not Forget... (Outro)
