On Thorns I Lay
On Thorns I Lay
1. Fallen from Grace
Dark sun is rising
Our lives revising
Is this the end?
Are we condemned?
Arrogant uprising
The signs despising
Held on a lie
We're destined to die
Ride
For a sacred march
Rise
To the marble arch
Breaths life in to our fears
The silence ages descend
Reliance forced us to bend
Forsaken in our own land
Ill-fated by an idle command
Ride
For a sacred march
Rise
To the marble arch
No coffin
No penance, no grave
To reach the halls of light we crave
No coffin
No penance, no grave
To reach the halls of light we crave
Altars scorned and razed
The sick, the frail ablazed
Hatred dictates
Damnation awaits
Blinded, abused, abducted
Genocide conducted
Torture and pain
Spirits in chains
No coffin
No penance, no grave
To reach the halls of light we crave
No coffin
No penance, no grave
To reach the halls of light we crave
2. Newborn Skies
Where I stand in my own aisle
Where I left my mellow childhood dreams
Lost in abstinence, denial
Filled with thunderous but silent screams
The guilt of years so aimless
The thoughts of yearning choices left undone
The fear of ending up nameless
The need to leave behind the strain and run
Shade the sun, light the dark
Bright the grey inside the black
Close your eyes, soul to rise
Float on dazzling newborn skies
Clear the way, blight the clay
Wash it all away
The sins, the lies, no compromise
Crave for newborn skies
Newborn skies
I'm floating
Newborn skies
I storm the gale, I sail to life
The one I let to pass me by
A twisting knife, the fortune's strife
I stay on low or flying high
Beyond the pale I grow and thrive
Once I forgot, now I'm alive
Newborn skies
I'm floating
On newborn skies
Newborn skies
3. Crestfallen
Ire
Our land forlorn and defiled
In mire
Our dreams, there's nowhere to hide
Sirens
Echo the sound of demise
Tyrants
Coercive saviors disguise
Empty-handed and crestfallen
Where will I go in the dark by moonlight?
The joy, the laughter, now stolen
Walking to unknown with hazard in fright
A voice like thunder, for help calling
Breaking the silence of ebony skies
My soul in slumber, raw hauling
Nobody cares that my spirit now dies
Stranded, I perish, alas
Memories under the ash
The path in front of me so vast
Slipping in my future past
Where I could be free as a nightbird
Eager to fly high
Where I could sing melodies unheard
With no need to sigh
But I'm awake, breathing my nightmare
Derided the turn of the tide
Bringers of pain, despoilers of my lair
Taken our being, not our pride
I used to be free as a nightbird (nightbird)
Tearing the clouds, flying high
I used to sing melodies unheard
Delighted without a sigh
I was awake lingering my dreams
Riding the wind and the tide
Bringers of pain, despoilers of my lair
Taken our being, not our pride
4. Among the Wolves
A child that flowers among the wolves
Solely oblivious, the serpent's moves
With thorns embracing sanctity of youth
Blackness impending, unveiling the dreadful truth
Alone, I roam beneath twilight
No face to soothe me
No arms to hide
No arms to hide
Nobody's watching, nobody cares
Where are you now to shelter me from the snares?
Caress my breath and erase my fears
Whisper me words to rescue me, dry my tears
Alone, I roam beneath twilight
No face to soothe me
No arms to hide
No arms to hide
A liar, a pervert
A savior that push me to follow
Gehenna, a nightmare
In places so dark and hollow
A demon in man shape
Imposing with rape, there's no escape
I'm falling down
No arms to hide
Wake
I cry
Wake
Horizon
My screams are silent
Can you hear me?
I'm still so bright inside
Can you believe me?
My wings are torn but I will fly
If you believe-
If you believe in me (in me)
5. Raise Empires
I am the truth, eerie 'n' haunting
A salvation through pain
I'm but a lie, tempting, lurking
For your soul to enchain
I am the sun, raise empires
Light the path to enslave
I am the dark that ignites holy pyres
Lead the will to the grave
Aim
Aim the fragile
Cast a mist on their gaze
Tame
Tame the futile
With spiritually daze
Born to arise through fear of unknown
Revelation or taint?
Deep in the shades, slowly I've grown
Watched your moral to fade
Pain, cries
Remnants of war in the name of sublime lies
Apprize lives
Destiny calls you to crawl as disciple of unwise
Disciples of unwise
Disciples of unwise
Blinded Follow
Words so hollow
Words so hollow
Words so hollow
I am a saint, holy fire
Bringer of light and breath
I am a beast, ruthless ire
An archangel of death
Aim
Aim the fragile
Cast a mist on their gaze
Tame
Tame the futile
With spiritually daze
Follow the cry of mankind
Follow the cry of mankind (follow the cry)
Follow the cry of mankind
Follow the cry of mankind (follow the cry)
6. Thorns of Fire
The flames are rising
The sky is veiled
The screams so haunting, our future is unveiled
We slay the nature
Defy its way
Irreverence, will only bring us pain
Revoking the Gaia's ire
Oblivious and obscene
Repentance through cleansing fire
Present original sin
Nowhere to run to
No one to aid
The smoke around us, a suffocating shade
The trees, the rivers
Dominant veins
Givers of life, now our binding chains
Corrosion of public sires
Arrogant minds so bleak
The vanity, the one's desires
Condemning strong and weak
Weaving our darkest hour
The point of no return
The seeds of life we devour
We're guided to crash n' burn
Drought
Fire
Flood
Ceased respire
Hush
Hear the call of the wild
Resonating under the ash, defiled
And we cry
For the loss and the why
For the fallen, the abandoned dreams
The life we said goodbye
A fight
From the dawn 'til the night
We are waiting for catharsis, afraid
'Cause we owe it
To our children to thrive
Feel the water, the wind to blow, the chance, the chance to be alive
