1. Oblivion

I flew beyond the sun before it was time
Burning all the gold that held me inside my shell
Waiting for you to pull me back in
I almost had the world in my sight



Lost love
Bright eyes fading
Faster than stars falling
How can I tell you that I've failed?
Tell you I failed



Falling from grace cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with me lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion



I tried to burrow a hole into the ground
Breaking all the fingers and the nails from my hands
The eyes of a child see no wrong
Ignorant bliss, impending doom



Lost love
Bright eyes fading
Faster than stars falling
How can I tell you that I've failed?
Tell you I failed



Falling from grace cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with me lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion



Falling from grace cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with me lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion



Falling from grace cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with me lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion



Falling from grace cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with me lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion, in oblivion, in oblivion

2. Divinations

It's gone away
It's gone away
It's gone for good
Animal spirits come calling me home
Through the tunnels of brilliant light
The magnet of wisdom is pulling
Burrowing faster the fabric of time



No escape
Binding spirits
No escape
Trapped in time space



Rapid descendants
The wormhole is empty
The center of Khlysty surrounds me
The fire is dancing in a silvery sheet of breath
Black robe
Necromancing
Summon the soul of the spectre



No escape
Binding spirits
No escape
Trapped in time space



Fire in the eye
Realm of mystic majesty



No escape
Binding spirits
No escape
Trapped in time space



Fire in the eye
Realm of mystic majesty

3. Quintessence

The demon skin is covered in fine mist
Opened his hand in my hand
Holding my eyes to the future
Hovering above myself
Letting loose the guided
Punching these holes in my head
The space time paradigm



Omnipresence
Primal instincts



Let it go



Calling reason
Finding you
These wild hearts run
Even deeper
Burning through
These wild hearts run



Let it go



Letting me free the quintessence
In fine mist
Opened his hand in center
Holding my eyes to the future
Letting loose the guided
Punching these holes in my head
Losing my skin to the landslide



Omnipresence
Primal instinct



Let it go



Calling reason
Finding you
These wild hearts run
Even deeper
Burning through
These wild hearts run



Let it go



Shield failure
Speed farewell

4. The Czar: Usurper/Escape/Martyr/Spiral

Don't stay; run away
He has ordered assassination
Don't stay; run away
The henchmen are gathered and waiting
Don't stay; run away
Your role as usurper is found out
Don't stay; run away
Tsarina has warned of the danger



It's your own fault
That is what we wanted
It's your own fault
This is where we lay



By the light of the moon
You must escape into the deep black of the night
Fight the devil inside
Enemies poison deep within my second sight
Wasting valuable time



Ride the tides of blood
Illumination
Beauties sudden hand
Shattered crown
Stretching arms up high
We're on our way now
Leave the Czar to die



Spiraling up through the crack in the sky
Leaving material world behind
I see your face in constellations
The martyr is ending his life for mine

5. Ghost of Karelia

Wrathful ones nine eyes gaze
Holding skulls
Filled and laced
With human blood



Shades of darkened skies
Emptiness
Twilight holding through
Offering



Life in zenith
Bulls blood shot eyes
Flattened portrait of the night sky



Feel crust hum
Facing the North
Vapor space



Between heaven and Earth
Wisdom and the knower
A planet collide
Divisible we fall



Hear dirt waves
Wading forth
Vapor space



How long has it been since we flew through the shadows
I have walked on many other planets



Sinister twin
Choking on fear
Bonded iron
Sink to the core

6. Crack The Skye

Blessed visionary cut me with your sun
The rivers ran in blood
Spark fueled to fire



Deep withing the endless void
Searching for a sign
The vessel forged inside me
Watches over like the death
Of the moon
Strike the shepherd
Sheep will scatter
Mountains of despair
I can see the pain
It is written all over your face
The screaming arrows tear through my soul
In the dawn your face is haunting
White ghostly dreams



Weight of worlds is on your shoulders
Hear the voice of gold
I can see the pain
It's written all over your face



Desperate heathens flock to sirens
Guard your heartache well
Momma don't let them take her
Don't let them take her down



Please tell Lucifer he can't have this one
Her spirits too strong
I can see the pain
It's written all over your face
I can see the pain
You can make it all go away

7. The Last Baron

I'd guess they would say we could set this world ablaze



Please, please take my hand
Please take my soul to rest
So we can always be around



It is hard to see
Through all the haze at the top of the trees
Hold my head on stable ground
Watch as the earth falls all around



Please, please take my hand
Please take my soul to rest
So we can always be around



Faltering footsteps, dead end path
All that I need is this wise man's staff
Encased in crystal, he leads the way
I guess they'd say we could set the world ablaze



Please, please take my hand
Please take my soul to rest
So we can always be around



I guess they would say we can set the world ablaze
Hold my head on stable ground
Watch as the earth falls all around



Take my black soul
Arrive in the fires that burn my skin
Guide my eyes all through this maze
I guess they'd say we could set the world ablaze



All that I have seen standing on the edge
The foot of precipice floating in the sea
Past the king of swords quickly to the shore
The last baron, the last baron



Ghost of man surrounds me in my slumber
I have no fear as your wing is my shelter



Cyanide he craves, coursing through his veins
Providing him with strength to see this to the end
Afraid of psychic eyes, faith in mystic power
The last baron, the last baron



Will he save me, will he save me?
I was standing staring at the world
And I can't see it
I was standing staring at the world
I still can't see it
