Walls 00:51
(Instrumental)
2.
The grey southern ghosts...again Announce me (falling in silence)...that The Crawling mirrors Are coming for us. Blinded by / their shining skin By their colours / We're trapped helplessly Taking away all that we have Taking away our joys and cries Travelling through / the endless currents (Drifting) our best / and sweetest memories Watch the horizon when they are gone Watch them burning by the sun Sardonic movements of fate And today I make this toast I raise my glass, and drown... and drown all my pain.

Elegia 06:02
Desde que no existe el alma de mi alma Me paso las noches cazando tormentas Para olvidar que en el fondo no puedo olvidar La dulce voz del silencio Estrellas fugaces se confunden con faros Cuando navegas perdido en el oceano de medianoche [Chorus 1] Naufrago en lo irreal Cegado por la oscuridad Y mis velas en silencio piden solo un amanecer ... hasta que vuelva la tempestad Noche amante no me creas ingrato Pero quisiera despertar bajo las alas del sol [Chorus 2] Avanzo en lo irreal Sanando en la oscuridad Siguiendo otros vientos hasta cazar un amanecer Antagonista a la tempestad

Elixir 04:56
Drink of this potion brought from the night Dark human night, your scent deep inside Of a sea in which thoughts fly Forgotten passions appear like stars in the night sky Undress your skin and soil it with guilt ...and soil it with guilt... [Chorus:] Blessed by the moonlight Drink this blood from... the earth Ensure your destiny, write it with a fantasy The pain has no limit, let it free like a bird...let it free Wounds with each movement, scrub the hand in a rose A soul trapped in a maze, a moment for the fire ... a moment for the fire... [Chorus:] In the shadows We became gods... of flesh .... With this blood from the earth.... Drink of this blood from the earth

Iconoclast 06:22
Cliffs of contradiction You'll feel the fury of waves Rocks stare at the dawn / Awaiting the tides to be praised We're coming here, to erase thy shapes Tonight is the night / In the calmness of the dark We're coming here, to erase thy shapes [Chorus:] No plea's been heard Rusted structures are falling Creating a new era In crawling sands The icons will be torn Creating a new era A still picture in blue / (Underlying) forces breed A liquid hate will come from the depths Drowning all eternal / An ancient rage is unleashed A liquid hate will come from the depths [Chorus:] All this handcrafted pain, all these pictures of suffering My eyes can now see, but I cannot feel... and I shall not regret [Final Chorus:] No plea was heard Rusted structures no longer exist Creating a new era In crawling sands The icons will be torn Creating a new era
7.
She Burns Us 05:27
[Chorus:] It is the nature of all things and all men The blood has called her child for many years And there is no way to resist her I will crawl like a spider, small, dirty and free On this night I will hide myself from your light And turn loose these desires hidden under dust Three times I will sin, three times I will deny Only myself and the ashes of my past As I jump into the void, this bet I have lost The pleasure of risk in this fragile existence I have no answers, so don't ask for regrets ...And let me dream in life...so deep... [Chorus:] The light gives life... but it also takes it away She burns us with every, tick of the clock I'm drowning in this addiction to burn with her And the beliefs of my past life With her and the beliefs of my past life
8.
Rite 07:07
These walls of stone have witnessed How I've learned to praise the sun Forces once spoke through me And taught me their sacred song Silently the stone... remembers... now Now I'm the outcast in a time of blind spirits But I feel the earth, I hear the earth Somber skies fall upon us Feel this rage... unleashed? My story won't be heard by the withered souls that laugh But I feel the earth, I hear the earth Speak to me of your beliefs and I will show you my gods They'll rule over all, as you ignore... Ignore My flesh and soul have been tied, with every little part Something denied by this time, somehow my instincts understand As one with nature, like a naked child Longing for his mother's womb My lonely rite shall live... as long as I These walls of stone have witnessed How I've learned to praise the sun Forces once spoke through me And taught me their sacred song
9.
Distances 07:16
Now is your time to fade into this uncertain night Now is your time to freeze the moments crystallized [Pre Chorus:] And even if I struggled with fate You would run free and be disowned And if the words are sounding strange Then their meaning is clear [Chorus:] As the loss steals my breath As a part of me dies I look back And I see the path, I will never walk again Just sleep my friend in this garden of memories Just sleep and keep time standing still [Pre Chorus] [2 X Chorus] Trying to bring back a past already dead I will fail... anyway A complete circle I try to destroy I will fail... anyway [Pre Chorus] [Chorus] The distance attempts To dissolve the memory But in the end These old crystals I will take to my grave

Impressions 05:42
Between my death and infinity... Amazed by the colours of eternity...of eternity Into insanity's claws So much existence is lost So much ecstasy gone Bow down to the forces that gave us our random shape The eternal explosion or the phantom statement Man is the endless mirror and the darkness is not so (real) This suffering isn't haunting for the one who knows, for the one who is already touching ...his gods Fears cast the gesture of horror Cloaked around humanity Afraid of next step Fear to continue New stares emerge A more complete state of mind rips the one that escaped No way out. No way out from here This is the new joy (The new joy which we feel)
11.
Nada...ha de empezar no hay susurros por descifrar Ya nada de mi puede ahora escapar solo lo insustancial me tocara. El padre no fue real solo esta intensa perversa humedad. Ya no hay nadie aqui mas que el mundo y su piel el nunca existio siempre fue horror Vuelvo al tiempo sin mi, mas el tiempo soy yo Desintegracion, la piel de un dolor. Hacia donde mirar y ver lo que sone Ahora que olvide... sacrifique. Las carnes de una noche inmortal, Cuando nada es otra vez Cuando el paraiso muere, Muere bajo mis pies. Noche inmortal De todo caere en dicha reinventando los calores de mi ser Sepultado bajo mi sangre negra No encuentro rastro de mi Noche inmortal, Cuando algo es otra vez Cuando el paraiso muere, Muere bajo mis pies. Noche inmortal De todo caere en dicha reinventando los calores de mi ser Lamiendo los sabores de la muerte.

Burnt 02:43
Embrace me It's the final tragedy What you'll find is only a piece Of what I used to be Can't you feel it? It makes me vanish There is no return The light took my life... ... So let me burn Alone... Let me burn alon
13.
Can't understand love through fear, And life without the blessing Of my birthright So from thy heavens, built of mothers who can't feed their own sons I'll fall again... to drown in ecstasy... Into this burning place Stage of anxious flesh Innocence and disgrace... are alive My child releases my hand And wondered, he runs to the sweet fountain Quenching his thirst, Pure child Nailed to a well learned ignorance, You cannot touch paradise Your child releases your hand And faraway he runs from the sweet fountain Ashamed of himself, Poor child Living your life in this maze Like an echo or a slave Inside your soul you refuse to see Misery is disguised as salvation Omnipotent sadism, life and death in fear ... And thou shall obey Omnipresent voyeurism, extinct privacy ... And thou shall obey Omniscient tyranny, the bonfire of all dreams ... And thou shall obey
