Bleak Earth 05:54
Bleak Earth Trace the thin blue line Down the skin-deep path To where the heart resides And carve your name within I carry the weight of the world that fuels the fire I carry the weight of a world bleak and grey Hatred fuels the fire of my dismay Chorus: Solemn is my mask Downward lines where a smile should be I hung my sorrow amongst the branches of the highest trees (I carry the weight of a world, bleak and grey) (Hatred fuels the fire of my dismay) Save me, from what could have been The light of my soul has dimmed deep within Just your name on the black surface of my heart The scars, torn assunder, ripped apart I carried the weight of the world, bleak and grey Hatred fueled the fire of my dismay. Chorus: Solemn is my mask Downward lines where a smile should be I hung my sorrow amongst the branches of the highest trees And when all the world is lost in shadow Yours is the only fire I will know Bleak is the earth I walk on Still the pale light is not gone

Vigil (for the Lost Children of Our Generation) Revolt to the oppression of the masses We can think for ourselves, don’t need no one Now the clouds in our skies turn darker and our Utopia has long come and gone I remember the years of carelessness When people could be who they wanted to be Without envying the others’ happiness The seed of anger planted deep within Pre-Chorus: I will never lead, I will never follow Anyone else but my own thoughts Avoid the traps of being shallow and getting lost Chorus: Let me comfort you within the shelter of my loving arms And ward off all the evil amongst the love Pray now. Open your eyes and see...The truth in front of you... Is only you and me. Pre-Chorus: I will never lead, I will never follow Anyone else but my own thoughts Avoid the traps of being shallow and getting lost Chorus: Let me comfort you within the shelter of my loving arms And ward off all the vile and the distraught Let me be your haven, to all the lost of a generation past See the clouds in our skies turning darker and darker Our Utopia is long come and gone...

Mother of Northern Skies Mother... of Northern Skies Did you abandon me? Please, shelter me Alone, like a shadow amongst the trees I never meant it to end like this, buried underneath 20 inches of pure white snow Waiting patiently for any lover to show I... feel my life fade The warmth in my heart decays Fingers slowly turning numb The will is lost, I succumb I stood here for hours, waiting for you Time has passed, but you're not closer Your love fell like the snow on my skin The cold of your heart kills the warmth within I... feel my love fade Frost in my soul replaced Eyes glazed in a forever stare You're not there I stood here for hours, waiting for you Time has passed, but you're not closer Your love fell like the snow on my skin The cold of your heart kills the warmth within Mother... of Northern Skies Did you remember me, please, rescue me I never meant it to end like this, buried underneath 20 inches of pure white snow Waiting patiently for any lover to show Together, Apart, I die alone Together, apart, I die alone...

Solis 05:32
Solis Morning is coming and I no longer fear The sun breaking through the leaves so near The edge of these woods are getting closer each step I take The bond is getting stronger each promise I make Morning is coming and I no longer regret I know the decisions I will never forget The edge of these woods are getting closer each step I take The fear is getting weaker each decision I make And when all is fine and great, I'll wonder what it was all about All those walks in darkened woods I took, and without a doubt I will see myself as a different person, someone else No longer a prisoner of all the fears I felt Morning is coming and I no longer fear The grasp of the dark road behind me The sun has broken through the leaves so near I left all my past lives behind me
