[The Conductor:]
Awakened by the eclipse, the path to a new kingdom comes to life in the blackened sky.
The bridge of stars awaits those who would dare to take the journey.
So climb aboard... the train is ready to depart.
We will cross the glowing river.
We will follow the obsidian map into the world of shadows.

The Day the Night Slept
05:06
|
|

[The Ghost:]
From the shackles of the earth
We rise up to the realm of dreams
A path awakened in the sleeping sky
Found the keys for the eclipse
And flew away into the black
Past the Swan towards infinity
[The Ghost + The Hunter:]
And while the moon is dark
We travel on hand in hand
Behind us the earth
Fades to black and disappears
Take a ride
And let the stars be your guide
Until the daybreak
We follow the planisphere
[The Hunter:]
Across the bridge of stars
Towards a world never seen
For now you're free
On the wings of a dream
Beyond the borderlines
Ascending over the skies
Like diamonds we'll shine
In the ocean divine
Remember the day the night slept
[The Engineer:]
Walking free again
Outside the tethers tied to you by death
A journey on towards the corners of imagination
Cross the river glowing bright
And as you find your way
Hold on to the map of obsidian
[The Hunter + The Engineer:]
And while the moon is dark
I won't let go of your hand
Behind us the earth
Fades to black and disappears
Take a ride
And let the stars be your guide
Until the daybreak
We follow the planisphere
Across the bridge of stars
Towards a world never seen
For now you're free
On the wings of a dream
Beyond the borderlines
Ascending over the skies
Like diamonds we'll shine
In the ocean divine
Remember the day the night slept
[The Ghost:]
On towards the southern cross
Through mystic constellations
I want this dream to last forever
[The Engineer:] Forever!
[The Hunter:]
The pathway down to earth
Will fade away behind us
And we'll be lost inside forever
[The Engineer:] Forever!
I never want this night to end
Will we wake if morning comes again
[The Ghost + The Engineer:]
Across the bridge of stars
Towards a world never seen
For now you're free
On the wings of a dream
Beyond the borderlines
Ascending over the skies
Like diamonds we'll shine
In the ocean divine
So remember the day
And while the sunlight sleeps
We can become anything
We're lost in dreams
On a quest for a king
On solar wings ascend
Imagine life without end
For the ghost, for the hunter
The migrant and king
For the sleepers beside us
All sharing the dream
Would you shatter the false star
And live once again
Remember the day the night slept

Lost in Dreams
04:38
|
|

[The Deceiver:]
Drawn through the darkness and into the sky
My stolen name vanished and buried
Welcomed to stay by an uncanny king
His soul so familiar to me
[The Migrant:]
Drawn to the lighthouse, I heard their voice
Their souls shining brighter than stars
[The Migrant + The Deceiver:]
Walking the paths of this ghostly world
Distorted by shades of the past
[The Migrant:]
Fast asleep
As night has stolen dawn
This dream won't end
The sun will not rise
[The Deceiver:]
Lost in dreams
And while the false star burns
We know the dead
[The King:] CAN NEVER RETURN FROM THE SKY
[The Ghost:]
Sleeping and yet I am free and alive
Awake though aware we are dreaming
[The Hunter:]
Keeping the flame of the lighthouse alive
Concealed in the hall of the king
[The Ghost:]
Breaking the death ties, I rise again
My sickness and limits are gone
[The Ghost + The Hunter:]
Walking with you through this ghostly world
Until we are reclaimed by dawn
[The Hunter:]
Fast asleep
As night has stolen dawn
This dream won't end
The sun will not rise
[The Ghost:]
Lost in dreams
And while the false star burns
We know the dead
[The King:] CAN NEVER RETURN FROM THE SKY
[The Engineer:]
The station has disappeared
One step, and you're trapped by the light
Circling through midnight all over again
The dead keep on dreaming eternally through night
[The Deceiver:]
Death was his wish
And he found it at last
I only appeared as his guide
But here in my conscience
His words cut me deep
[The King:] THE DEAD CANNOT COME BACK TO LIFE
[Everyone:]
Fast asleep
As night has stolen dawn
This dream won't end
The sun will not rise
Lost in dreams
And while the false star burns
We know the dead
Can never return from the sky
They'll never return from the sky

Long Live the King

[The Engineer:]
He wished for death to take him
From this world of pain and hatred
And through false words of comfort
Someone led him there
His final lie
"It won't be frightening if we go together"
Stayed with him
Even as he watched him steal his life
Woke on the train, afraid and lost
Not knowing where he's going
At light speed through the sky
The earth now out of sight
So at the signal he escaped
And found a room in darkness
A chair and candle in the black
With no one there
Afraid, alone
Betrayed by earth
He lights the flame
For this new world
A star is born
In false disguise
And soon
The kingdom will rise
And the candle turned to a lighthouse
In the heart of the kingdom of dreams
[The King:] THE KING SAID...
No one is hurt
With everyone here
And if we all share one mind
There's no need to fear
And the beacon shone through the darkness
And attracted souls to the light
[The King:] AND HE SAID...
One will be all
And all will be one
So let their voices in harmony sing
[The King:] LONG LIVE THE KING
The lonely room became
A grand hall at the dream world's centre
His hurt became a crown
His chair became a throne
He waits to welcome
All the souls that stray from heaven's river
To warmth and safety
The new kings of everyone's home
So the migrants came to the lighthouse
In the heart of the kingdom of dreams
And the lonely king
Would welcome them in
Make them one, and never to leave
And the beacon shone through the darkness
And attracted souls to the light
All who came to his door
Would accept their new form
Join the chorus, and joyfully sing
[The King:] LONG LIVE THE KING
[The Engineer:]
Back and forth again
The pendulum of time
Keeping the dreamers
Here in their eternal night
[The King:]
Don't you leave me here
You should not fear the sun
Here in my private shell
NOW WE ALL ARE ONE
[The Engineer:]
And so the star will shine
The candle is burning
Timeless and divine
And we see the light
All over the kingdom
Shining for all time
And the lighthouse
Will call out to guide
New souls towards the star
So they can join with us and sing
Long live the king
[The King:] HAPPILY EVER AFTER
Afraid, alone
Betrayed by earth
He lit the flame
For this new world
A star was born
In false disguise
And now
The kingdom will rise
Now the migrants come to the lighthouse
On their journey from skies afar
And the lonely king
Will welcome them in
And absorb them into the star
And the flame will shine on forever
Drawing souls to the kingdom of dreams
And no one will ever be lonely again
And as one they will joyfully sing
[The King:] LONG LIVE THE KING

Morning
04:43
|
|
||
Waiting in darkness
Suspended in time
Discorporate and damaged
With no other option
I fled to the light
I've thought of that day
Since I left you behind
I know that you're down there
Reduced to near nothing
But barely alive
Sealed
In cryogenic cold
I'll dive into the dark
Reanimate your soul
Together
We will rise up hand in hand
This blackened night
Are you there
Can you hear me
In your world where time stands still
Sealed from the daylight with only the words
Of a promise I have to fulfill
Will you know
Will you feel me
Will you crush your inmost fear
Push through the blindness
And wait for the light
Now that morning's almost here
Now in the black star
You sleep once again
Yet still I will follow
I'll enter the dream and ascend
As you sleep
Beyond this blinded world
I'll rise into the void
And bring you down to earth
Together
We will walk on hand in hand
This blackened night
Are you there
Can you hear me
In your world where time stands still
Sealed from the daylight with only the words
Of a promise I have to fulfill
Will you know
Will you feel me
Will you crush your inmost fear
Push through the blindness
And wait for the light
Now that morning's almost here
Breaking through the seals that keep
Your life within perpetual sleep
I'll push on past the boundary
And find
I will reach the centre of the black
I'll thaw your soul and bring you back
So wait for me
I'll guide you to the light
Sealed
In cryogenic cold
I'll dive into the dark
Reanimate your soul
Together
We will rise up hand in hand
This blackened night
I'll wake you from your sleep
Beyond this blinded world
I'll rise into the void
And bring you down to earth
Together
We will walk on hand in hand
This blackened night
Are you there
Can you hear me
In your world where time stands still
Sealed from the daylight with only the words
Of a promise I have to fulfill
Will you know
Will you feel me
Will you crush your inmost fear
Push through the blindness
And wait for the light
Now that morning's coming
Light is dawning
Morning's almost here

The Scorpion's Fire
07:22
|
|
||
[The Hunter:]
Drawn to the false star of illusion
Like travellers before
But now it's time to leave the kingdom
To face the tainted throne
[The Engineer:]
The king's in his palace
Vengeance and malice
Poison his heart and tie him down
We rise from confusion
Fight his delusion
Taking his undeserved crown
[The Engineer + The Hunter:]
We're razing the kingdom
We'll burn down the lighthouse
A beacon of false hope for all
Completing the circle
Escaping the dreamworld
And this heaven shall fall
[The Ghost:]
Tonight
We're sounding the cry
The kingdom will die
We'll pull back the curtain
And see through the lie
I'll burn in the night
I'll light up the sky
You'll see
And I'll be the scorpion's fire
[The Engineer:]
Down in the dark well all alone now
The scorpion would die
No chance to give another creature
Just one more day of life
[The Ghost:]
He prayed for his next birth
To give life to all earth
Lit up the sky in crimson glow
The end of this heaven
Echoes the legend
I am that scorpion now
[The Engineer + The Hunter:]
We're razing the kingdom
We'll burn down the lighthouse
A beacon of false hope for all
Completing the circle
Escaping the dreamworld
And this heaven shall fall
[The Ghost:]
Tonight
We're sounding the cry
The kingdom will die
We'll pull back the curtain
And see through the lie
I'll burn in the night
I'll light up the sky
You'll see
And I'll be the scorpion's fire
[The Migrant:]
The false star that brought me here
Shining in lies
[The King:]
If you would hurt the King
And steal our flame
Then you must die
[The Migrant:]
The light expires
And truth will return
[The King:]
Still wrapped in this hurt
[The Migrant:]
One soul sparks the fire
[The Migrant + The King:]
And everything burns
[The Conductor:]
And so the dream of the King comes to an end with the story he loved,
And the light of the Scorpion's Fire will guide those lost in the dark towards the dawn.
Behind him the false star shatters forever,
And the dreamers carry him on through the morning sky.
[The Ghost + The Hunter:]
Welcome to the eclipse of the star
The grand illusion falling so far
On this night we shatter the lie
And we see the dawn again
[The Deceiver:]
We're razing the kingdom
We'll burn down the lighthouse
A beacon of hope for the blind
Completing the circle
Escaping the nightmare
And the secret we'd find
At last
The sins of the past
Tonight are unmasked
The haunting inside me
Will always outlast
We're close to the end
I promise, my friend
You'll see me again
I'm coming soon
[The Engineer + The Hunter:]
We're razing the kingdom
We'll burn down the lighthouse
A beacon of false hope for all
Completing the circle
Escaping the dreamworld
And this heaven shall fall
[The Ghost:]
Tonight
We're sounding the cry
The kingdom will die
We'll pull back the curtain
And see through the lie
I'll burn in the night
I'll light up the sky
You'll see
And I'll be the scorpion's fire
And the fire in the lighthouse will burn
And the kingdom of dreams will burn
For my friends once again I will burn
And the scorpion's fire will burn

[The Migrant]
There was a time when I was scared like you
I clung to memories both bad and good
But then I saw a chance to live again
Born from the ending of a world
Hand in hand we travel on
Because you can't stay here afraid
Never knowing where we're going
On this interstellar train
An adventure through the universe
Beyond the bridge of stars
Till the call of earth
Will bring us back again
On our journey through the silent stars
I'll show you the wonders of the endless universe
We know that in the end
The sun will rise again
And tomorrow will be a good day
All too soon it was my time to leave
I never knew that you could be so hurt
And still you're hiding something deep inside
Beneath your hatred of the world
I have found a memory waiting
At the universe's end
A memento of a life cut short
The time we spent as friends
And now even though you turn your back
Deny I ever was
I remember you
And I'll be back again
On our journey through the silent stars
I'll show you the wonders of the endless universe
We know that in the end
The sun will rise again
And tomorrow will be a good day
[The Engineer]
This night
One holy night
On the galactic railroad
Only you can decide
When a new day dawns
[Everyone]
As we make our way
Across the astral plane
All our memories fly away
The sparks we leave behind
Will give the stars their shine
As our pain is washed away
Down the river we flow
Till there's nowhere to go
Then we fall to earth newborn
And live again
[The Migrant]
On our journey through the silent stars
I'll show you the wonders of the endless universe
We know that in the end
The sun will rise again
And tomorrow will come
Take my hand and then we'll fly away
I'll show you there's nothing left to be afraid of now
Up to the stars ascend
The story finally ends
And tomorrow we'll all meet again
We'll all meet again
[The Conductor]
Now untangled from your fear, your journey truly begins.
As you travel the infinite skies, your pain and regrets will fall away,
Their glowing fragments leaving the stars shining behind you.
There is no need to be afraid any more.
Once the last memory is gone and you give your name back to the stars, I will see your safe return.
Farewell... until we meet again.

Prophet of the sky
Red demonic eye
Calling out for the lost ones
The gate to other worlds
The covenant of blood
Apostle of the violet rose
With a bloody crimson eye
Accursed flesh will come alive
And altered minds around him
See the echoes of the eulogy of doom
Choked by demon spores
Read the dark grimoire
The flesh and blood of the innocent
Avatar divine
The cosmic soup of time
The eye of judgement sees us all
Through his bloody crimson eye
He sees the gate is open wide
In fury he will fly
To see the echoes of the end
Chaotic wings of the reaper
Chasing disaster
Painting the skies in flame
Holy angel of fire
Flies ever higher
Screaming his name
And again he'll rise from the cage of ice
The crimson angel of Judecca
On the edge of madness, frozen in time
Awakened by the tree of blight
Summoned again through fire and flame
On his bloody wings he will fly!
Chaotic wings of the reaper
Chasing disaster
Painting the skies in flame
Holy angel of fire
Flies ever higher
Screaming his name
And again he'll rise from the cage of ice
The crimson angel of Judecca
On the edge of madness, frozen in time
Awakened by the tree of blight
On bloody wings of hope
I see salvation is coming
The star of solitude
Rising up in the sky
Like the wings of an angel
So come with me
If we run forever we'll find him
A fallen angel, his mad love
Awakens once more
The world yet to come
