Once again I bleed Bite the bullet, stand up straight Need to keep the faith The will to reach for more Need to find what’s gone A reason to believe in me In the void I feel A flame that burns within Keen desire fuels the fire, my heart will beat forever Times is not a friend, pushing to the edge My word becomes a ruling Rising higher, primal power. The stars align at my will All my fate unsealed, the time is mine to kill I know I’m my own master Fear that ran so deep Now not even memory Bolstering my soul The flames are raging on Need to find what’s gone A reason to believe in me In the void I feel A flame that burns within

How sweet is silence in the night? Gaze at the stars, reflect the light I look upon this twist of fate Emotions drowned in words of hate Cast in the darkness of their mind Blindfolds of silk I leave behind They feed on pain and sorrow Silent cries of tomorrow Looking at me with lifeless eyes And hide emotions with cold lies I turn away when shadows fall Glowing stars awake my soul Looking at me with lifeless eyes And hide emotions with cold lies Fading moonlight, wander past May this night forever last Beginnings mark what is to end What darkness holds I will transcend Turning my head up to the stars A scent of heaven heals my scars Tended by man thousand gleams I'm the redeemer of their sins The truth my mind has spoken And kept my wings wide open Looking at me with lifeless eyes And hide emotions with cold lies I turn away when shadows fall Glowing stars awake my soul Looking at me with lifeless eyes And hide emotions with cold lies Fading moonlight, wander past May this night forever last

Needle Bites 04:12
White walls all around, ease my mind, limits of my world Time and space collide, once again, never-ending state of trance Love not, Fear not, Feel not, Cry not, All known Spell wrong in this Forever dying world, Where nothing new is Born to prove me once I 'm wrong All my senses play the scene I 'm weaving And right there you 're breathing, Down on me Waking the nameless thoughts, The feelings Needle bites will free me Memories in lane, one by one, sign away and fade Walls grow there to stay, ease my mind, day and night same endless play

One Last Try 04:30
Keep on breathing deeply Nothing satisfies I strive as if to win a race In endless masquerade Ravens guide my answers Telltale signs reveal my path My hearts punds hard In agony I trust Time and time again I swore To resist the game and save my soul Never measured what I lost Thirst will drive me on and on Waking up the fears just to feel alive Wiping all the tears, give me one last try Silence, face my demon Wanting found again I break My break just burns away Lost again There's no time to ponder Rising up against myself The stakes are high But all cards are dealt Time and time again I swore To resist the game and save my soul Never measured what I lost Thirst will drive me on and on Waking up the fears just to feel alive Wiping all the tears, give me one last try

Voices of the raving nymphs revive Narrating a tale from long ago Singing for the charming New wed bride on a brightful day of summer Through meadows of flowers She ran in mirthful hours Her laughter disrupted by teeth of venom Like crystal, her heart froze Before her strained eyes could close Silent tears of horror On her descending ghost She turns her eyes She falls, she dies His beloved motionless was found Mourning forests echoing her name Tunes of sorrow played in dreadful sound Brought to nature such discomfort Through meadows of flowers She ran in mirthful hours Her laughter disrupted by teeth of venom Like crystal, her heart froze Before her strained eyes could close Silent tears of horror On her descending ghost Days and nights he wept Charmed the trees and mountains Yet in hopeful thoughts Love you shall reclaim

Tearful tunes enchant the ferryman Even though he has no heart From this shore embark to find her soul Where no living man has gone before It seems that you've lost you're way from above How dare you enter my black chamber You may have suspended the tortures of the damned But your voice has no power over me Dark ruler of the throne To whom all we who live must come I've come to seek my bride Who long before her time has died Without her I won't love You fell in love once I believe Hear me and sense my pain These words of truth I sing in vain Tearful tunes enchant the ferryman Even though he has no heart From this shore embark to find her soul Where no living man has gone before Mortal you can take back her soul But only on one condition Your steps will guide her along the way You must not gaze upon her before sunlight Now leave this place and don't look back Dark ruler of the throne To whom all we who live must come I've come to seek my bride Who long before her time has died Without her I won't love You fell in love once I believe Hear me and sense my pain These words of truth I sing in vain Dark ruler of the throne To whom all we who live must come I've come to seek my bride Who long before her time has died Without her I won't love You fell in love once I believe Hear me and sense my pain These words of truth I sing in vain

Grief Divine 05:25
Out of shaded halls of stone In dreadful silence Limping footsteps moving on Towards the light of day Hopeful gleams relight your heart across dark watery From the realm of death depart Flee from this accursed scene In solitary pathways As the black leaves turn to green Could this be a dream Or death played tricks on me What if my dear one Could never follow me? A flitting peek could never hurt As I walk alone Turn my head, she's there, all pale Her fading shadow's gone In a moment's glimpse, he longed to see infinity In the transient light, turn in grief divine Yet your eyes shall meet in agony But instantly, as you turn to gaze, vanished in a mist Lost again without farewell In mindless torment Swept away in tears she fell Reflecting on her glossy eyes Her face forever haunts me Fallen under starless skies Fate again reveals this chaos in my mind Left alone in doubt as where her soul to find A flitting peek could never hurt As I walk alone Turn my head, she's there, all pale Her fading shadow's gone In a moment's glimpse, he longed to see infinity In the transient light, turn in grief divine In a moment's glimpse, he longed to see infinity In the transient light, turn in grief divine Yet your eyes shall meet in agony But instantly, as you turn to gaze, vanished in a mist

Torn Apart 04:43
Once again, the bitter air you taste With weakness on your knees Voice of sorrow sweeps through melodies Across the land and seas Careless poet, sing your torment Piercing through my eyes Cruelty tells the tale That my thoughts covet Weeping skies Soft voice, grim releases Sleep now, torn to pieces With your life your grief shall cease to be Your anguish laid to rest Open skies will fall before you now Your heart ripped from your chest Let your body break and wither As desolation creeps Ashes of lust feed The mouth of envy Weeping skies Soft voice, grim releases Sleep now, torn to pieces

Faber est suae quisque fortunae Faber est suae quisque fortunae From depths of self-absorption Damnation is my only option My fear of death to hide Or live with emptiness inside Wounds turned to scars, words unspoken Promises meant to be broken With careless eyes comes failure Staring at his grave he felt at peace Curse be this twist of time He cried Faber est suae quisque fortunae Faber est suae quisque fortunae Through rising flames I crawl Still passion drives me down to fall My casket of angel white Inhumed under a moonless night Wounds turned to scars, words unspoken Promises meant to be broken With careless eyes comes failure Staring at his grave he felt at peace Curse be this twist of time He cried With careless eyes comes failure Staring at his grave he felt at peace Curse be this twist of time He cried With careless eyes comes failure Staring at his grave he felt at peace Curse be this twist of time He cried Faber est suae quisque fortunae Faber est suae quisque fortunae

We tried to dress up carnal Knowledge with the cloak of love And use each other just to feel more alive So from the start we knew It was just an acquaintance For love means trust and takes Much more to survive We tried, we lied To ourselves to keep it alive We died and now is the time (To forget) step into the light We use each other to get satisfied We’ve never loved You never really got to know who I am Afraid that I would leave You locked all doors But love can bloom neither in fear Nor in the dark

about

The album includes a 4-track sequence, based on the Greek myth of Orpheus & Eurydice.

However, in this version the story is narrated by one of the Maenads (female followers of Dionysus) who tells a story of love and tragedy, while at the end of the myth it turns out that she was among the women that killed Orpheus, as they ripped him apart with their own hands.

In more detail, the track ‘Her Descending Ghost’ begins the story with the tragic death of Eurydice by snakebite, shortly after her wedding.

’The Bargaining’ is about the descent of Orpheus to the Underworld, where he faces Hades in an attempt to claim back his wife’s soul.

On ‘Grief Divine’ Orpheus starts ascending back to Earth with Eurydice quietly following him, while in a moment of mistrust and agony he ignores the only warning of Hades that was not to look back at her before they have both reached the surface.

Finally, on ‘Torn Apart’ Orpheus returns to Earth alone, where he mourns the loss of his wife for a second time.

At that time, he gets surrounded by the Maenads who, out of jealousy and anger, tear him apart limb from limb and throw his head and lyre in the river Evros.
