English translation:
Aspirat primo fortuna labori The fortune is smiling at our first effort Me duce tutus eris Let me lead you and you will be safe Vox populi vox dei The voice of people, voice of god Ad maiorem dei gloriam... For bigger glory of the god Ad infinitum To the infinity You know just who I am Don't be so distant 'Cause when you're lost, I am solely there To share your grief Wailing your sorrow is only my way to comfort you Reminders of innocent youth Waiting for morrow, you're lonely, I name your solitude I speaketh the truth Now tell me all about your pain Down to the detail Don't say it's love Your fragile heart feeds my contempt Wailing your sorrow is only my way to comfort you Reminders of innocent youth Waiting for morrow, you're lonely, I name your solitude I speaketh the truth Chase the heathen call We belong, you and I Unison in all you deny Wailing your sorrow is only my way to comfort you Reminders of innocent youth Waiting for morrow, you're lonely, I name your solitude I speaketh the truth I am the thorn in your side that seeks accomplishment Reminding the mortal of death I am the spore of your pride, an angel, Heaven-sent The master of all I am the urge of the flesh |

Rules without exceptions last eternally
Every move you make creates your destiny I've come to soak my sorrow in halo black As black as the seal on my soul (Cause when the lights are down there's no more to say) Love is the real pain An internal revolution in our minds (And when the lights are down you're so far away) Tell me your real name In the silence of the darkness we unite (Rules without exceptions last eternally Every move you make creates your destiny) What can protect me from the past And all the things that I have done She told me and then she was gone (But when the lights are down there's no more to say) Deep in the shadows Where the last of my delusions made a stand (Cause when the lights are down she'll take me away) Tell me her real name And in death we'll live the love we never had Come all ye faithful beneath the moon Into the void as one Marching on (Cause when the lights are down there's no more to say) Love is the real pain An internal revolution in our minds (Cause when the lights are down she'll take me away) Tell me her real name And in death we'll live the love we never had |

Merely the sound of your voice
Made me believe that, that you were her Just like the river disturbs My inner peace Once I believed I could find Just a trace of her beloved soul Once I believed she was all Then she smothered my beliefs One cold winter's night I may follow her voice to the river Leave me for now and forever Leave what you can Somewhere in time I will find you and haunt you again Like the wind sweeps the earth Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend You've fallen deep I was a liar in every debate I rule the forces that fuelled your hate When the cold in my heart leaves it comes to an end Quietly I'll go to sleep How could that first time recur When memories linger on and on What made me think you were her Helena is dead to all, dead to all Nothing can bring her to life Don't pretend that I'll be loving you Once I believed she was gone I corrupted from within Leave, leave me for now and forever Leave what you can Somewhere in time I will find you and haunt you again Like the wind sweeps the earth Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend You've fallen deep I was a liar in every debate I rule the forces that fuelled your hate When the cold in my heart leaves it comes to an end Quietly I'll go to sleep [ARIEL] Follow me into the light [Marguerite] Like ice on a lake of tears I'll take you through [ARIEL] Leave me tonight [ARIEL / Marguerite] I've gone too far to begin all anew / Life fades in [ARIEL & Marguerite] With someone like you Somewhere in time I will find you and love you again Like the wind sweeps the earth Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend You've fallen deep I was a liar in every debate I rule the forces that fuelled your hate When the cold in my heart leaves it comes to an end Quietly I'll go to sleep Sleep |

If my soul could revive from my carnal remains
What does it matter to me If it all fades to black, if I'm born once again Then no one really is free How could I be condemned for the things that I've done If my intentions were good I guess I'll never know some things under the sun Can never be understood How can we believe in heaven Human reason counters all Ideas of soul society My life is just a fragment Of the universe and all There must be more than I can see In the dark we're the same, in the concept of time We're like a grain in the sand And we strive for the flame as if death was our aim Cause we cannot understand How I wish there was a heaven All for one and one for all A flawless strong society Our lives are just a fragment Of the universe and all There may be more than we can see How could I be condemned for the things that I've done If my intentions were good I guess I'll never know, some things under the sun Can never be understood How can we believe in heaven All for one and one for all Ideas of soul society Our lives are just a fragment Of the universe and all There may be more than we can see |

Once my life was plain and clear
I recall Once my ignorance was bliss Nightfall came Like a serpent's kiss To my troubled mind Why, oh why my God Have you abandoned me In my sobriety Behind the old facade I'm your bewildered child So take me cross the river wide Binding promises were made On my soul Grand illusions lead astray Ice cold winds swept my heart away Bring me back to you Why, oh why my God Have you abandoned me In my sobriety Behind the old facade I'm your bewildered child So take me cross the river wide (Helena) I remember a song Like in a dream Where September was long And winter unreal Why, oh why my God above Have you abandoned me In my sobriety Behind the old facade I'm your bewildered child So take me cross the river wide |

Pushing for the limit of sanity
Pushing for the surface So I can breathe Dark is the night for us all, but some days I feel the light crawling down these jagged walls Blessed sunlight Some of this pain is sole subjected But what was I to do Some of this pain will always stay Deep and true I left her with a warning, without protection Cause the human nature has its ways, with lust With her back against the wall, she crumbled Just a minute more would save her life And even so, part of me Blessed sunlight Some of this pain is sole subjected But what was I to do Some of this pain will always stay Deep and true Some of this pain is sole subjected But what was I to do Some of this pain will always stay Deep and true I see her shame in my desire It all took place too soon Some of these wounds will always bleed Over you Over you |

I have never craved the system's sympathy
I get restless over pity smiles Some precaution wouldn't harm my history If I had the will to wait a little while You cut the silence like a knife You know I can't repent for all Moonlight falling over me Sail on where the shadows hide Moonlight crawling down on me Just like you could not compete with my pride Compensation for a misconducted life Is it way too much to ask Hard to wake up With your heart and soul deprived When the morning comes The second to your last You cut the silence like a knife At the edge of my last defenses You cut the silence like a knife You know I won't repent for all Moonlight falling over me Sail on where the shadows hide Moonlight crawling down on me Just like you could not compete with my pride Shine on silver from the sky into the night Gaia shivers and I need your leading light Moonlight falling over me Sail on where the shadows hide Moonlight crawling down on me Just like you could not compete with my pride |

Come wind, come snow, come winterland
I have resigned myself to death Come will to show the hidden hand So I can draw my final breath You could take me higher So you said, I trusted you I may be a liar But betrayal lies on you I can feel when the journey ends Final call for a last defence Darkness come tonight I have no fear of what you hold Darkness come alive You are the stories I've been told I possess the power Of survival in the cold Life is like a flower As it stumbles out of fall We all know when our time has come This is where I will linger on Darkness come tonight I have no fear of what you hold Darkness come alive You are the stories I've been told Darkness come tonight Nothing can take my faith away Darkness come alive Life fades to black from silver grey Darkness come tonight I have no fear of what you hold Darkness come alive You are the stories I've been told Darkness come tonight Nothing can take my faith away Darkness come alive Life fades to black from silver grey |

Here we are
Under the same old sun All alone yet somehow bound and unified Dust to dust Ashes to ashes won't take long We search for a harbour Somewhere to belong They say that faith is all you need To stay forever young What you've sown is what you reap Our sins can't be undone There is a god in each society So right is wrong where wrong is right No one could be sure Still we are certain That what we know is truth The only truth We're building our temples taller They say that faith is all you need To stay forever young What you've sown is what you reap Our sins can't be undone How can we trust them once again They used to tell us lies And their voices will sustain Cause nothing ever dies Love, love is the only truth Pure as the well of youth Until it breaks your heart You took me higher Than the mountains I have climbed You, you waited all your life for me You left me all alone behind But we'll meet again We will meet again All alone They say that faith is all you need To stay forever young What you've sown is what you reap Our sins can't be undone How can we trust them once again They used to tell us lies And their voices will sustain Cause nothing ever dies |

Who wants to separate
The world we know from our beliefs And who sees only black and white Distinguish loss from sacrifice Some day we may come to peace With the world within ourselves And I will await you until I close my eyes Close my eyes Close my eyes When your time has come you know you'll be lonely Once again And the final winter comes to us all Life is treacherous but you're not the only Who must pretend We're a second in time We're the last in the line Of the prey that walks the earth Good and evil combined I am the god in my own history The master of the game I may believe if she would come to me And whisper out my name Sometimes I wonder where the wind has gone If life has ever been Sometimes I wonder how belief alone Can cut me free from sin When you close your eyes mementos of summer Retrieves your mind Like a drizzle afternoon cleans the air When the winter blows you're glad you remember You really tried And it comes to an end Even winter... life fall And we all have our beliefs Pray for mercy for all Mercy for all Pray for mercy for all I am a man without a mystery The deal is done within I will embrace the coldest winter breeze And pay for every sin (Helena) VICTORIA, NON PRAEDA MEMENTO MORI (Mephisto) UNA VOCE... VOLO, NON VALEO DULCE ET DECORUM EST PRO PATRIA MORI MEMENTO MORI (Ariel) So subservant in your embrace No more denial No run away This is the final My last recall And that's the price for what we learn The more we know the more we yearn Cause we're so alone I am a man without a mystery The deal is done within I will embrace the coldest winter breeze The journey can begin I'm still the god in my own history I still believe that she will come to me And whisper out my name Some day we will come to peace And reach beyond behind the lies And I will await you Until I close my eyes Close my eyes Close my eyes (Helena) Ariel, Ariel, Ariel, Ariel... |

Songs of pain and soothing lullabies
Songs of happiness and some that make us cry One song we share The cross we all bear One that segregates One that unifies All we wonder No one ever denies If once given life we must die So bow down with me Where summer fades into fall And leave your hatchets of hate Bow down with me And sing the saddest of all The song we all serenade The more we know The less we understand Life... eternity The savagery of man We want it all Aimed at the fall What is destiny with the masterplan All we wonder No one ever denies If once given life we must die So bow down with me Where summer fades into fall And leave your hatchets of hate Bow down with me And sing the saddest of all The song we all serenade Hold on now Don't leave don't let it go Dance away the waltz of life Right or wrong The seed we never sow That's our loss Our sacrifice What does the winter bring If not yet another spring |

One other year has left my life
One year bygone so soon These were the days I sacrificed These days were lived for you Some came with winter in white Some days were blown away Some came with sultry summer nights Some with October rain Oh, how I long for utter silence But who am I to know When rain will turn to snow? If life brings another day |
