Sacrifice, the martyr waits in line Second sight, the universe alight How could I abide this fate Holy realm in slow decay Guiding hand and inner voice Time to make the only choice And with sword and torch in hand The hero tames the shadow land Even as mothers weep I wake the titans from their sleep Only you could get there Only I could see the end Only you could be here I am caught between the worlds Only you could get there Only I could see the end Only you could be here I am caught between the worlds You're wasting your time my friend You're wasting your time You're wasting your time my friend That much is clear You're wasting your time my friend You're wasting your time You're wasting your time my friend That much is clear A journey for the years The last sunrise Before my eyes Only you could get there Only I could see the end Only you could be here I am caught between the worlds Only you could get there Only I could see the end Only you could be here I am caught between the worlds

Morpheus 04:34
Cold Awake Familiar the shape Black I know this place Oh and here we go again I can feel the shadows Touch my skin Though she is here I cannot summon her spirit now Though I'm awake I lay reposed and still somehow Through the eye of Nyx Hypnos' many gifts Morpheus' cast light The colour of the night Okay, I've been here before Dark Alive Another shadow guide Tonight Torrent of fear Vision unclear They brought me to this place Chamber of sand Dust in my hand Friends inanimate When I awoke Silence I spoke I was held in place The next thing I saw Crescendo and awe But I was strangely calm Though she is here I cannot summon her spirit now Though I'm awake I lay reposed and still somehow When the moon does fall Her light will swallow all And turn the earth to salt When the dream does break I face another day And I watch it slip away

Mirror Dream 07:25
Oh heart of gold Oh pale rose Oh Silver ghost Oh cast in stone I was born in time To wander in the night How pale she was A ghost visage her smile And I was just a child Ethereal and wild she was In this haven shines Ever silver ever silent An agent of the light of dusk Watches me That was just a dream And innocence it seems Was nothing but a distant memory Oh heart of gold Oh pale rose Oh silver ghost Oh cast in stone I remember the silver soft light Caretakers magic and chill to the night An ancestral vigil and warmth over me Before the mirror dream You know I'm afraid And I feel ashamed And I am small before the world I have seen in mirror dreams The malice in the eyes of kings

Novice 07:08
Minutes compound Hours rewound These conspire, create Every living day Invoke the word Impose your will Lighthouse stand alone Guidance and soul Teacher light the way Fleeting escape Bleeding hearts arise Youthful and unwise Universe in mind Live behind your eyes Naive dignified User and the blind Universe in mind Live behind your eyes Behind your eyes Still I feel demons grow They possess my very soul Knowingly I feed the beast I consent while they feast Novice Novice I am Novice Novice I am Still I feel demons grow They possess my very soul Invoke the word Impose your will Minutes compound Hours rewound Teacher light the way Fleeting escape Invoke the word Impose your will Lighthouse stand alone Guidance and soul Teacher light the way Fleeting escape Still I feel demons grow They possess my very soul Knowingly I feed the beast I consent while they feast

Mockingbird 07:21
Oh the countless nights and songs we'd sing Smoke and words and laughter simple things Stoke the fire glowing timelessly The frost and coloured lights in the air we'd breathe The sky would turn and we would come alive And we would die with honor side by side Lonely is the world Joker mockingbird That's just the way it goes Painful even so Old memory tells the story differently They lay beneath the mire carelessly And all the dreams they'd had of legend earned And everything they believed they deserved And all gold just for them waiting there Would pale before the cross that he must bear Frost Moonlight Trust Starlight Lonely is the world Hallowed mockingbird That's just the way it goes Painful even so

Kingmaker 06:44
Soldier of fortune Decider of fate He carries the life-givers weight The mountain before him Bestowed him his name The Kingmaker will rise again The sword and the story The talismans eye His destiny catches the light He is born of the ghosts of the land From the dead and the falling sand The priest and the pagan Contend for his soul The passage to young from the old The weight of the burden Of human disdain The virtuous suffer in vein He is born of the ghosts of the land From the dead and the falling sand Like a blaze, astral fire In the wake of desire In the realm of the gods and men He is made of the stones and the trees He is forged by the will of kings Understand he is born of the ghosts of the land From the dead and the falling sand Like a blaze, astral fire In the wake of desire In the realm of the gods and men He is made of the stones and the trees He is forged by the will of kings He is born of the ghosts of the land From the dead and the falling sand Like a blaze, astral fire In the wake of desire In the realm of the gods and men In the realm of the gods In the realm of the God and man

Remnant 05:17
In the age of reason Dilution of the mind The Scientists imprison us in time As man walked through the old world The wonder we enjoyed The subject and the magic he employed I am a traveler through pages of prophecy I wander between the worlds The carrion traditions The death of ancient tongues How civilized and sapient we've become I will guard this remnant A power frozen still And keep her from beneath the grinding wheel I am a traveler through pages of prophecy I wander between the worlds I will guard this remnant Spirit of the tome Breathing in the earth below In the twilight gathered Shadows on the wall Breathing life into us all I'll fulfill the prophecy Holy seer Spirits of apostasy and light I'll fulfill the prophecy Holy order Spirit of her sanctity tonight I will guard this remnant Spirit of the tome Breathing in the earth below In the twilight gathered Shadows on the wall Breathing life into us all I will guard this remnant Spirit of the tome Breathing in the earth below In the twilight gathered Shadows on the wall Breathing life into us all
