Tracklist: 01. The Mission [Instrumental] 02. Phantom Divine (Shadow Empire) I am all you ever wanted I'm a new dimension Immortality perfected, phantomized Expansion of life Generation of light Finding every deviation Just to keep the future alive Under a phantom divine Touched by the light In ambrosial grace No applause for the old pantomime In the shadows of our dreams A phantom divine I'm the face of the selected I'm your chain reaction I am mortally rejected I am the empire connecting the mind And I'll die just to keep you alive Under a phantom divine Touched by the light In ambrosial grace No applause for the old pantomime In the shadows of our dreams A phantom divine Under a phantom divine Touched by the light In ambrosial grace No applause for the old pantomime In the shadows of our dreams The phantom divine There is still hope for you I am the empire All that you see is true I am the empire There is still hope for us Under a phantom divine Under a phantom divine Touched by the light In ambrosial grace No applause for the old pantomime Like impulses of our dreams A phantom divine Under the phantom divine Touched by the light In ambrosial grace No applause for the old pantomime In the shadows of our dreams A phantom divine I am the empire I am the empire I am the empire I am the empire 03. RavenLight Silent tears In a sea of sorrow If only God would talk to me And promise me tomorrow Drowning in myself as i Am facing imperfection But the pain makes me feel I am still alive In Ravenlight, you came to me From silence rose, a symphony of coming winters white Paralysed, caught in desperation Endless nights revisiting Internal conversations Finally I made my peace With self intoxication So i bleed just to know I am not alone In Ravenlight, you came to me From silence rose, a symphony of coming winters white May light embrace the darkest hour Let it shine to orchestrate the shadows of the night In Ravenlight, you came to me From silence rose, a symphony of coming winters white I love the way you sing to me From silence to a soaring symphony My rose in winter white. 04. Amnesiac Say my name No beautifying filters I'm craving that honest pain These perfect lines Are always out of placeonly you and I were born to break the chain Caught in the framework Dying to belong Escape the wasteland Don't forget who you are Amnesiac Don't let the world revolve around you Don't wait another day To re-erase your memory Amnesiac Don't let the dream dissolve without you The more you know The more they hold you back Amnesiac Mortal peace Pushing through a needle Observing your every move A thousand lies To avoid the question why Cuz the more you know The more they hold you back Caught in the framework Dying to belong Escape the wasteland Don't forget who you are Amnesiac Don't let the world revolve around you Don't wait another day To re-erase your memory Amnesiac Don't let the dream dissolve without you The more you know The more they hold you back Amnesiac No beautifying filters Beyond the perfect lines This effortless intrusion Stop, erase, rewind 05. Burns To Embrace We teach them to pretend Not to break the line To always look away And never ask why We sit beside the cradle We tell them to be brave But when the warning sounds It echoes to the grave We keep blindly moving Along the same old path No common sense Would guide us back to life Now look at us The pinnacle conception How we assumed These walls would never fall Sleep Farewell forever child Farewell We are the last to walk the earth And watch the passing ages slowly sail How it burns to embrace That below the lilac skies Eternity is just a breath away In lockstep to damnation To our dying breath Every reckless footprint Leaves the smell of death on the wilting meadows We let them out to play We said - No need to worry Now they never may Sleep Farewell forever We are the last to walk the earth And watch the passing ages slowly sail How it burns to embrace That below the lilac skies Eternity is just a breath away 06. In Twilight Hours Tell me Tell me God What is left here for me I’m a ghost in the window Oh God set me free And in twilight hours I await forgiveness That never comes In an ocean deepon a river wild The water pulls me down Never to be found again You never really know How could I know? How many tears you own Until the day they were gone Gone without a trace Until the day fell anew Fell anew Tell me Tell me God What is left here for me I’m a ghost in the window Oh God set me free And in twilight hours I await forgiveness That never comes Out there in the cold Remember me Along the broken road Of reveries When you’re rising from the dead Reviving from the dust again Like in a winterstorm I’ll cover you I’m burning in the cold I’ll keep you warm But know I’m not alone As long as I believe in you Tell me Tell me why Share your burden with me You’re the ghost in the window And I’ll set you free When in twilight hours You await forgiveness That never comes Tell me Tell me God What is left here for me I’m a ghost in the window Oh God set me free And in twilight hours I await forgiveness That never comes Forgiveness Will come for you 07. Kevlar Skin When fatal thoughts in winding sense Strive to go past the terminal line Is it cruel to ease the pain Of those who face redemption? Dare I take a leap of faith Knowing my fears will materialize I lay myself down at your grace In stilness I surrender Underneath this kevlar skin I am waiting for you to uncover me And in this armoured prison cell I'm hiding my scars Come discover me Tell me what is pain if not just fear Saying goodbye to a poisonous mind I let it hurt and hope that you Will be my soul's salvation Underneath this kevlar skin I am waiting for you to uncover me And in this armoured prison cell I'm hiding my scars Come discover me My solitude A loyal friend You kept my darkest secret And guarded my Monotonous immortality Keeping the fire away 08. Static Stay Until the morning light reveals my ruins I was starving, now I hunger To feel And let your curiosity dismantle me Now I just need your breath Like a veil upon my skin Come lay with me This chemistry is static Like space debris We're perfectly chaotic So come and merge your storm with mine And save me Stay Hold me as I'm trying to survive And wrap me in your comfort My fears I give them all to you to keep Them safe for me Cause I just need your breath Like a veil upon my skin Come lay with me This chemistry is static Like space debris We're perfectly chaotic So come and merge your storm with mine And save me 09. MindFall Remedy When you’re trapped in your doubt and anger And you’re wailing along Like you relish the fail When your life turns to be deception And you’re scratching the walls on your cell Each step requires mad devotion Mindfall Remedy No one else will catch you No one else will catch your fallonly you possess the key Mindfall remedy All those rules were dissembling a future And you feel like you burn in emotional hell With the absence of love and compassion Every stone is a mountain high Each step requires mad devotion Mindfall Remedy No one else will catch you No one else will catch your fallonly you possess the key Mindfall remedy I feel my tower crumbling With my resistance low I’m living in a vacuum I’m falling to the core In the core of resistance To face my inner self Lies the key to my existence To help myself Mindfall Remedy No one else will catch you No one else will catch your fallonly you possess the key Mindfall remedy 10. Stories Unheard Welcome in I’ll walk you through the unknown Say a prayer if you wish In my hand All of the answers to your nightmares Just let go of your broken dreams Let the journey begin Like a leaf in the wind You’ll be taken away to a world Of visions unseen Imagine if Far beyond the set horizon Nothing can turn into everything But hurry before it’s too late And the old Ballerina takes her fall Let me show you a place Where the blind can see the light Of a shooting star Like a dancer up highon a silver string Let your actions define who you are Tell the stories unheard Follow me I’ll take you to the unknown Discover me Let me in Please honor me With the choices you’ve been given Remember me when my breath is gold As the journey begins Let the stories tell to be your own Let me show you a place Where the blind can see the light Of a shooting star Like a dancer up highon a silver string Let your actions define who you are Tell the stories unheard Though I love you I’ll leave you forever Praise the time I was here Celebrate all our chapter together Have no fear when I’m gone Let me show you a place Where the blind can see the light Of a shooting star Like a dancer up highon a silver string Let your actions define who you are Tell the stories unheard 11. Vespertine (My Crimson Bride) She wrote down this line on the barren wall To not forget her trail of dreams But through the haze of her fevered pain Her thoughts were hard to understand Born without the name on the darkest day Her future was already written As fantasies turned to poems on the stone The world began to come alive She made me smile Though years passed by Come day, come night, my crimson bride Is dancing on the fields of gold This scenery will never fail In my dreaming mind Dreaming mind All through these days I have held your hand We never left the velvet cage Vespertine, our memories relive My irresistible demise She made me smile Though years passed by Come day, come night, my crimson bride Is dancing on the fields of gold This scenery will never fail In my dreaming mind Dreaming mind Vague are the images around me Cold is the color of the night Come day, come night, my crimson bride is dancingon the fields of gold. This scenery will never fail In my dreaming mind Dreaming mind 12. The Proud And The Broken [The Proud:] Where have all the heroes gone That used to bleed for us Still holding on to fading lullabies And fear the end when every note is lost How can we know If a glance beyond the shadow on the wall Could free our souls In the wake behind the virtuous we carry on While listening to the poetry of lies And darkened by the prosperous we carry on As ignorance of human life subsides They left us behind and broke our pride They told us to be brave But like an insect drawn to light We circle around the radiance of truth How can we know If a glance beyond the shadow on the wall Could free our souls In the wake behind the virtuous we carry on While listening to the poetry of lies And darkened by the prosperous we carry on As ignorance of human life subsides I am you You are me Feel the grace I set you free I am the empire [The Broken:] I am learning to crawl Denying the fall In time I’ll stand again I am bare to the skin I’m refusing to give in You can’t break my heart again But I try I keep trying And I dying to forgive All the matters is what’s going to be I try I keep trying I am dying to forgive I am you You are me In the wake behind the virtuous we carry on While listening to the poetry of lies And darkened by the prosperous we carry on As ignorance of human life subsides 13.
