The Bastard Son

In the electric eye
Through storms he ride
The earth we walk upon
Is his alone
He’s the bastard son
He walks the earth
He’s already won
The bastard son
Lead me to the light
A tale of strength, of might
Illusions of a world
Broken but yet so pure
He’s the bastard son
He walks the earth
He’s already won
The bastard son
Guide my wayward soul
To see what you’ve been told
A bastard born in flames
And died for my disgrace
He’s the bastard son
He walks the earth
He’s already won
The bastard son
He’s already won
The bastard son

With my eyes pressed to the broken glass
My hands are reaching out to stars as we pass
Ignorance brought this upon us fast
Time to atone this madness, no time to rest
Blackened skies around us all
Take us back before the fall
Before the fall
Passing faces - dead inside
Don’t you go wandering with that bright view of life
I’ve seen some things I’d like unseen
I’m ruled by none but you’re forever my queen
Blackened skies around us all
It’s a dream - must carry on
I see no angels dressed in white
I’ll cry for everyone that died
And shined so bright

In the torments you face
A sheep is wandering astray
She said:
- "Yes Lord i ́ll wait. He ́s just testing my faith"
All these years wondering why
A fool is waving good bye
Tired of truth in disguise
It ́s all gone when you die.
From the sickness inside
to the surface of lies
Controlled by the device
they find peace in demise.
When the spirits awake
more decisions to make
All your safety ́s a lie
It ́s all gone when you die.
I am looking right through your eyes.
There is nothing to fear.
I ́m the comfort for when you cry
and there ́s no god by your side.

Skywards
06:55

From the ashes I’m born again.
Skywards we fly.
Can’t be told what to do again
I’m for mellow times
Careless and free
What more do I need
I’m flying so high
Don’t you play with that hand my friend
We will collide
No patience for pain or sin
I won’t abide.
Careless and free
What more do I need
Where I am going
I’m free and still flowing
Flying so high
Careless and free
What more do I need
Where I am going
Free and still flowing
Flying so high
It’s where I need to grow
It’s where I get my go
I’ve died a million times
To reach my inner eye

Alone Together
04:58
|

Our hearts are beating
Without a sound
Guided by strangers
We are done
In the desolate wasteland
Where we are
Alone here together
We are none
In to darkness you followed
Brought into tears
Tread oh so lightly
Staying calm
Our hearts kept on beating
Like a drum
Walking so slowly
We will die

No Comfort
10:54

From the beginning
there was mourning
and all the more longing
for brighter days but there was no light in sight
Tomorrow
endless sorrow
and more, so hollow
everlasting darkness is my friend
Destruction
endless destruction
and for the living
its coming back cause we are dead inside
The marrow
is filled with horror
and all the terror
for you and me were buried in the...
...see the sky is filled with fire
See the oceans bleed
Its everything we need
See the mountains turn to gravel
Hear the children scream
I’m dying all i need is you.
