01. The First Three Hours (instrumental)

02. Victory Rising
Victory is rising and the world has turned insane
Sleeping dogs are walking and the little children pray
Dying suns are setting in a sky of raging war
We think about the good times while we perish with before

“I bring you lies, I bring with me
A dream that only, we can see
I bring eyes; I bring you teeth
I have a dream, reserved for me”

Victory is rising with the advent of the tide
Broken men are crying while they stagger in the night
Strom clouds are ascending where the falling stars collide
Walking through the fires to the sound of life that dies

03. After Summer We Fall
In the first day of winter the last day of fall
We dance in the snow and remember the sun
We drink to the visions of winter advancing
Embracing our marrows with coldness unsung
The first day of springtime the last day of winter
We lie on the grass and remember the snow
We drink to the rising of summer and blossom
And nourish the passion of winter disowned

“Seasons come, just like the summer rain
Seasons change, and go away again”

In the first day of summer the last day of spring
We drink to the visions of nature revived
We lie on the grass and revere every instant
Till the last straw has willed and summer has died
In the first day of autumn the last day of summer
We love in the darkness and dance in the rain
We drink to the visions of heaven’s colliding
Foreseeing succession again and again

04. The Missing Hour
The castle deflated, created of air
A kingdom forsaken, from lover’s despair
The queen has departed, yet loving and fair

“When I was lost you told me that blood would heal my wounds
When I was found you told me to face the ugly truth
When I was young you loved me and all the lies I told
But now our dream is over and we are spurned and cold”

My land has expired; the court it has died
But please don’t resent me; believe I have tried
Love is still likely, when hatred has died

05. Another Love, Another Hate
Don’t believe, the tales of treachery
Evil of the man, who evil wants to see
I find myself, inside myself
Evil is, what, evil wants to be

“Another time, another place,
Another love, another hate”

When friendship turns, to treachery
Please see yourself, for what you want to see
I don’t accept, your truth of me
I see myself, and wonder what you see

06. No Tears Are Shed For You And Me
A beautiful man, disguised and hurt
For all his dreams, they give him words
His quest of life, extends beyond
Beneath his feet, the world is numb

“Are we confined inside of dream?
The flame of life within our reach
Our souls at ease deceased would be
The time has come to be conceived
My faith is lost but still complete
No tears are shed for you and me”

His faith was lost; his gods are dead
The sky above it gleams to death
Who lights the flame that once was doused
With tears of pledge and faithless vows

07. Pleasures And Tortures
I was smothered not to praise my father in the sun
I was punished not to please my sisters in the stars
I was baptized not to honor my mother in the moon
I was murdered not to cherish my brothers made of snow

“Certain pleasures are forever we are raised in disbelief
Certain tortures are forever there is silence when we preach
Certain pleasures are forever we are feared and disbelieved
Certain tortures are forever can you satisfy needs?”

I was slandered not to worship my father in the sun
I was beaten not to lust my sisters in the stars
I was branded not to touch my mother in the moon
I was vanquished not to love my brothers made of snow

08. Fires Burn, Like Fires Do
Here is today, and here is forever
Baptized in tears to a lifetime of sorrow
Seize not this day, but wait till tomorrow
Sweet woman child who love just to loose
Is love not sweet, where bombs explode?
Between black kisses awarded to you
Here not my words unveiling the truth
Love is forever, but just for a few

“Time is here for us
Love will come again
Flames will rise for us
And burn again, like fires do”

09. Let Us Meet In The Trenches
I won’t raise my hand in anger; I won’t speak no words of spite
The friends I had have parted; I stand barren in the night
The memories I kept, of the friends they claimed to be
They will perish when I waken, and its freedom that I fell

“Let us meet in the trenches, let us dance in sun
Let us kiss in the bloodshed, till the future has come”

10. There's A Smell To Life That Dies
Fear me not; I am one
Taste my soul; face the sun
Life will rise, like a spear
We are now; quench the fear
Fear me not; I am two
Touch yourself, who are you?
What came first, god or man?
Jesus came, in my hands

“Hear the sound of horses riding
Can you fell the thunder call?
Storm clouds gather in the distance
Soon the burning rain shall fall
Hear the sound of structures falling
Can you hear the dream that die?
Hear the song of people crying
There’s a smell to life that dies”

Fear me not; I am three
Man and beast; be conceived
Stars will fall, just like ash
Read the signs, on my back
Fear me not; I am four
Touch the flame; like before
Every man, is a star
Taste the sperm, of my heart

11. Europa's Dream
Until the day Europa falls, my love is not for you
In memories and solitude, your hearts remains untrue

“Europa’s dream the dagger’s creed, I name your soul with tears
From love we come in love we leave, for love we shall concede
Unfailing is Europa’s fall, the words we cannot speak
From love we come in love we leave”

Until the day when angels fall, your tears will fall unseen
That roses bleed and love departs, is meaningless to me
