Lyrics to Fauna [Full Album 2023] by Haken

Tracklist: 01. 00:00 Taurus We'll be a million faces A generation lost A path of self destruction The Taurus runs amok Trading greener pastures For silver-tinted suns This threat bestowed upon us Will only strengthen us Don't look back A new life's waiting All not saved will be lost You'll see a million faces Fleeing the motherland in droves Who knows if we will make it? To that place we'll someday call home The straw won't break the camel's back When our backs are up against the wall Under the cover of your darkness And so our plight endeavours on Don't look back A new life's waiting All not saved will be lost If it's a nowhere road We'll find salvation Somewhere in Avalon On the journey with no distance To a place that we never left And the suffering is how we overcome And we question everything we know In searching for Avalon Our ambition is how we learn to fail Don't look back A new life's waiting (Cleansing the slate or running from your past) All not saved is lost (All not saved is lost) Don't slow down on this nowhere road (New life awaits when you reach Avalon) 02. 04:48 Nightingale No perception of passing time The words struggle to escape her mind New perspectives to redefine Birdsong awakens her from the storm Shuffle the sequence of old paradigms The rhyme and metre still misaligned Another page lay burning in the fire The ink and the feather hold their secrets well Nightingale I dream in daylight One fateful night Unspoken binds unravelled I'm ever of the chosen My signal fire still burning I feel like I'm guided by my inner totem Poetic justice arriving after all When characters and places start to form A sullen emperor endures his requiem Can he live with this lament? A mechanical animal A dangerous game That clockwork song it sings Will send you to your grave Now heed the nightingale's cautionary tale Away, away, for I will fly to thee One fateful night Unspoken binds unravelled I'm ever of the chosen My signal fire still burning I feel like I'm guided by my inner totem One fateful night Unspoken binds unravelled I'm ever of the chosen My signal fire still burning I feel like I'm guided by the totem inside Dig in with your claws I push my talons into your skin Heal me with your song You are forgiven for all your sins Dig in with your claws Sleep now in blissful anaesthesia Heal me with your song Still no perception of passing Nightingale I dream in daylight Nightingale mine See me take flight One fateful night Unspoken binds unravel me My signal fire still burning I feel like I'm guided by the totem One fateful night Unspoken binds unravel me My signal fire still burning I feel like I'm guided by the totem 03. 12:13 The Alphabet Of Me It's time to wake up and die or regenerate You're never gonna retire your power games Power games, no Slip from the scene of the crime like a rattlesnake From all this deafening silence I walk away Walk away, walk away, oh In the red and the grey I'm the sage on a ship of fools There's a tear in the rain, momentary pain I will feel till the end of the road To be born falling into line or fall like dominos? We fall like dominos In the blink of a spark When the links to our past ignite Burning half as long as the fire in my soul That is blazing twice as bright Paper dreams wouldn't change anything I would hurt the ones I love To protect the ones I loathe It's time to wake up and die or regenerate If you're part of me, quit me now We're never gonna reform if we replicate Replicate, replicate, no I'm reaching my breaking point Object of my affection Am I still drunk on the memory of us? How instant our connection Perfected then lost A room without a view A version of the truth Is all I am to you I'd flee if I wanted to Retire from being used Even if I could bleed All you would see Is the alphabet of me What more can one do When years define you? It's time to wake up and die or regenerate If you're part of me, quit me now We're never gonna reform if we replicate Replicate, replicate, no I'm reaching my breaking point I feel it's time to move on But we're all in a state of retrograde Ride the anarchy, live your truth Object of my affection Am I still drunk on the memory of us? How instant our connection Perfected then lost 04. 17:47 Sempiternal Beings In stasis, it bends but won't break us Aurelia, majestic as a lion's roar embodies her Terranean, threaten and shield us Endanger, recoil and rewind the tapes She's born again Always returning How is this possible? It's never over I'll meet you in another life! Medusa, a haunting allure Elusive ectoplasmic residue She'll dance for you Inducing hydro-cosmic dreams in you Of eternal blue Spineless Stinger Servant Healer And I'm seven less heartbeats away But no one's keeping time The lengths I would go through to meet with you In another life And the ocean between us is where We find inner peace When will we cease to convince ourselves We're sempiternal beings? Stoned by her gaze The queen of despair Oh, chimeless bell of snakes Delight the liquid air She emanates the squall and serene Consuming no more Than she wants or she needs And I'm seven less heartbeats away But no one's keeping time The lengths I would go through to meet with you In another life And the ocean between us is where We find inner peace When will we cease to convince ourselves We're sempiternal beings? (Glowing with abandon) (Ambassador of balance) Oh, is it then or now? It's a long way down Neither day nor night Is this death or life? And I'm seven less heartbeats away But no one's keeping time The lengths I would go through to meet with you In another life And the ocean between us is where We find inner peace When will we cease to convince ourselves We're sempiternal beings? (Seven less heartbeats away) And I'm seven less heartbeats away But no one's keeping time (The lengths I would go through to stay) The lengths I would go through to meet with you In another life (An ocean between us avails) And the ocean between us is where We find inner peace (We keep convincing ourselves) When will we cease to convince ourselves We're sempiternal beings? 05. 26:10 Beneath The White Rainbow Dazed by the crimson haze We recall cinder cascades Hearts beating faster now For we know what future awaits Days passing without any semblance of a name Eagle-eyed as they scour the page Away though the spirit hides the tongue will surely tell of what comes to be Words of weight offered without a remedy Only with you can I find the way out Leaving all but the spirits behind Till that day comes we could always take shelter Among all the ferns and the pines Violently sundered, the tide washes under us Cleansing our fears as they close in There you'll be waiting on wine-dark horizons Beneath the white rainbow Lick the wounds; cauterise Mend these unearthly binds Interdimensional Spirit, body and mind Love, what be thy name if not sorrow? Much like a needle through the heart One day the madness will end The hunters slinking through the bracken Ready to tear this reverie apart My grief at leaving you is boundless But I must never return So in the forest you will find me there I'll leave a trail that leads you home Now burn the bridges end to end Fall to the river below For I was nothing but an impostor Wide-eyed and chasing white rainbows The years of sacrifice erode The warp and weft of my soul Our wretched hovel is devoured By yellow meadows flooding with rose Only with you can I find the way out Leaving all but the spirits behind Till that day comes we could always take shelter Among all the ferns and the pines Violently sundered, the tide washes under us Cleansing our fears as they close in There you'll be waiting on wine-dark horizons Beneath the white rainbow 06. 32:55 Island In The Clouds Embryonic All I wanted was to disappear It's ironic 'Cause there's a chance that I could make it here Inferior response To the experience of consciousness we're gifted A symbiotic Secular spirituality Fear in our hearts, the lost are rarely found We're never far from the island in the clouds It's symbolic I never thought that life could find a way Now it dawns on me No creature here was built to be contained I've seen the way you propagate A need for empty paraphernalia So fall upon me Too blind to see the error of your ways In this smog of blame Fear in our hearts The lost are rarely found But we're never far From the island in the clouds As we stare into the sun They reveal themselves to us In the abstinence of creed We submit to reason Dogs of war we let slip Kindness I could kill you with The passion of a Judas kiss Blinding lights, we blinked and missed Our heads above the parapet Larger than our lives appeared With one foot in Elysium Sensing the adventure's kicking in Seraphim servants cry Havoc from the jaws of time A mouth of madness opens wide Bark as sharp as she can bite An ocean of a thousand knives Ripples through our future lives Our best intentions soon backfire You picked your bones But never made this right Fear in your soul A coil tightly bound But we'll never fall From the island in the clouds As we stare into the sun They reveal themselves to us In the abstinence of creed We submit to reason 07. 38:42 Lovebite I knew that loving you Could never be simple, simple The widow licks her wounds She’s the devil with the details, details As I sink into you Oh, the first cut ain’t the deepest, deepest You and I cannibalise My heart's still beating on the outside We consummate, decapitate I taste the venom of your love bite The danger of the thrill A fatal attraction Fractured Another view to a kill Caught in the torment of her rapture Captured As if you couldn't be more reckless I see you've eaten somebody else Won’t let my jealousy affect us Is too much not enough for you? How many others came before me? You know the pleasure’s always in the hunt So make it quick and kill me softly Is this your idea of true love? You and I cannibalise My heart's still beating on the outside (The devil's at your throat) We consummate, decapitate I taste the venom of your lovebite (I'll tear apart your world) It’s over You’re a fool to think that you’ve been victimised (Eat me at the altar) Devoured Have my actions spoken louder than words? You and I cannibalise My heart's still beating on the outside (I'll eat your flesh from head to toe) We consummate, decapitate I taste the venom of your love bite (I'll leave your rotting corpse here to decompose) 08. 42:31 Elephants Never Forget Take a little look behind the curtain If you dare If you are certain Gaze upon a perversion Cross my palm A penny will buy you a soul Pain, the only thing it feels Bury your shame We are all friends here Ladies and not so gentlemen A specimen so disturbing Behold our beast of burden! I remember I remember another way I remember I remember a better day I remember I remember another way I remember Long before humanity Must've disappointed it's father Does it have an elephant mother? Should we take it over to the gallows? Why's it hiding in the shadows? He, hidden by a veil of misery Woven by a thousand threads of ire Forced to live a life of Secrecy in abnormality If I should fail in pleasing you Could I create myself anew? Would I be measured by my soul? Could I be treasured in your home? Take me I remember I remember another way I remember I remember a better day I remember I remember another way I remember Long before humanity I feel something inside of me The noble beast of dignity I see the symbol in my hand Leviathan of Doggerland Tell me who I am Pull me from the sand Help me understand Take my hand Maketh me lie down beside the water's edge Leadeth me through paths of righteousness Thou art with me, thy rod and staff comfort me In the presence of my enemies Heavy I drag my footsteps Jackals prowl a fog-draped, cold Whitechapel Mammoth ghosts tusk my demons Ancient soldiers stand in apparition Behind the curtain in the corner of the room Pathetic specimen you cower in the gloom I, hidden by a veil of dignity Woven by a thousand threads of ire I choose to live a life of Secrecy in my ascendancy If I should fail in pleasing you Could I create myself anew? Would I be measured by my soul? Could I be treasured in your home? Take me I remember I remember another way I remember I remember a better day I remember I remember another way I remember Long before humanity I remember I remember another way I remember I remember a better day I remember I remember another way I remember I never will forget you 09. 53:39 Eyes Of Ebony Ash clouds in the distance littered the sky Light faded in the world as I said "goodbye" The caw of the raven pierced the air Weep now or nevermore I peered into the eyes of ebony In a doleful state of reverie Frozen in the umbra of the past As melancholy washed over me Stolen from the light Unintended Fighting for your life Liberated now You stood tall amid the roar Raging against the black light (Black light) The hermit's timeless melody Will shine on forevermore (Shine on) Stolen from the light A primordial giant At the gates of Valhalla Freed from limbo You were fighting for your life In the heat of the flame As the dying embers burnt to ash The white rhino sang his last lullaby At the great gig in the sky The white rhino sang his last serenade As his light began to fade The shadowed raven above It called you beyond the veil Stolen from the light A primordial giant At the gates of Valhalla Freed from limbo You were fighting for your life In the heat of the flame As the dying embers burnt to ash At the end of your rope In the umbra time stands still A deathly silence cracks the air The eyes of ebony stare no more An existential twilight A sliver of an eternity The time has come now to let go Be rid of your mortal coil The ash clouds have blown away As the sun rises on a new day You gave me the power to believe As we climbed to the mountaintop You left your footprints in the sand Immortalised, you'll never walk alone You gave me the power to dream As we strode to the mountaintop
