1.	Hiding in Light 05:33	lyrics
Melior morior bellator, quam ago profugus Reveal the truth Broken oath Guilty Anything within your endless mourn Can redeem the broken shield Standard of throne, burning and torn May be the might of your filth Sacred vow rotted on your tongue Time has come, raise your spear Let twilight fall upon a brave folk Who fly upwards, shedding a tear Their eyes faded into your dawn Paling horizon, shining moon Shining moon Melior morior bellator, quam ago profugus Hiding in light No one says Guilty Guilty.
2.	Alteration α 05:32	lyrics
So again in this spiral Where pain needn't be denied The pendulum comes ever lower I am come to the gate of silence And feel them bending over me Watching my trembling fingers Waves rush to paint in me black Creasing the surface, so soft and yet adamantine Silver, as Moon above her lingers Relinquishment rides the plaices Into the depths Suddenly a flame-tongue licks the time And sand in hourglass begins to flow And through the glass i clearly saw myself Like a black scrap waving in the distance The sea, crownless by the foam, Begs me for reticence Raising a sand tomb for my toes Now I see, they are cracked As they tried to reflect Me Now they shrink before me Or have I risen above their tops? Shaping them with bare hands Finally Sun breaks that silence Scorches edge of the cliffs red And with such irresistible violence Catches the ocean into a sparkling net And through the mouth of timesnake I leave this cosmic gate And as I feel the shift of blades Inside my arms The pain is denied.
3.	Uneasy Lies The Head That Wears a Crown 06:26	lyrics
How many thousands of my poorest subjects Are at this hour asleep! Oh sleep, oh gentle sleep, Nature's soft nurse, how have I frighted thee That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down And steep my senses in forgetfulness? Why rather, sleep, liest thou in smoky cribs Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee And hush'd with buzzing nightflies to thy slumber Than in the perfumed chambers of the great Under the canopies of costly state And lull'd with the sound of sweetest melody? O thou dull god, why liest thou with the vile In loathsome beds, and leavest the kingly couch A watch-case or a common 'larum-bell? Wilt thou upon the high and giddy mast Seal up the ship-boy's eyes, and rock his brains In cradle of the rude imperious surge And in the visitation of the winds Who take the ruffian billows by the top Curling their monstrous heads and hanging them With deafening clamour in the slippery clouds That, with the hurly, death itself awakes? Canst thou, o partial sleep, give thy repose To the wet sea-boy, in an hour so rude And in the calmest and most stillest night With all appliances and means to boot Deny it to a king? Then happy low, lie down! Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown
4.	Dream of the Origins 03:14	lyrics
The nice inner gloom has opened The warm cradle of the soul, lost homeland Time of formless being The first hesitant thrill above the fountain Under which primeval times of ancients slumber Of forests dreaming So fumble, oh soul Just wander Pick blindly in sate bath of innocent instincts Of chiaroscuro I know you, gloomy soul Nothing's more necessary for you Nothing can saturate you so Can extinguish your thirst Like a return to your origins Here around you a wave rustles And you're the wave Rustles a wood and you're the wood Now there's no oustide and there's no inside You are a bird, flying with the winds You are a fish, swimming in the sea You devour light and you are the light And as you taste the darkness, you become the night We wander, oh soul, We swim and we fly and we smile By tender spiritual fingers disrupted threads again we bind Blissfully we stop the failed vibration No longer we do seek god For we are god And we are the world We kill as we die And we create and rise again with our dreams Our nicest dream is the blue sky Our nicest dream is the sea Our nicest dream is a clear starry night And it's a fish And it's a bright joyful sound And it's a crystalline joyful light All is our dream Every thing is our nicest dream We have just died and became the Earth We have just discovered the laughter We have just died and became the Earth We have just discovered the laughter.

6.	Sun & Shadow 06:08	lyrics
Sun and shadow, fighting on the stone The work of almighty human hands Every single day the battle begins again Gleam of an eye can unveil everything In endless nights of laughter and discoveries The world opens wide And every touch of string, of loyalty, of life Can lead new way beyond the horizons When liers cry in flames Others spitting in their face Their faith once again suffocates in swirling dust of ruins All is there! In coldness of stone In sweat, in whisper of wings Every colour, every sight Scent of a woman, dark letters of wisdom Everything's a journey to universe of possibilities To a carcinoma of thoughts Seen in details or in its whole greatness Both are infinite And paramount Evolution goes forth Old drawings up in flames And with the last breath The circle closes All is there! In coldness of stone In sweat, in whisper of wings All is there.
7.	Reflection of Torment 05:59	lyrics
The smell of coming evening Already lying to beneath the forest floor This is the point where the perspective ends Now come forward Through fissures and annual rings And search for a coal to outline The most desirable feeling When everything makes sense But let those leaves lay how they have fallen Edges maybe someone's microcosm borders With brown November waterways, stretched to every top The pure all knowing existence in one life-giving drop. So hide your treasures in the islands of moss So that your voice can split to its thousand ears And don't be afraid, they won't tell anyone What makes your smile so cold That you no longer feel you understand The beauty of this world So let them lay how they have fallen Pass the life Reflect the torment Climb down the Evolution tree.
8.	Meeting At A Bioluminiscent Trap 03:30	lyrics
The inner eye - traveller Sinks to liquid depths of thought Boiling bubbles in wake Carry the shell of Venus But the pink angle of nacre Shows an augury of dark meeting In the tomb of a billion closed eyes Bobbing in silent tides of plancton Meeting at a bioluminiscent trap Deep green eyes of anemones Where through the leaves those phantom stars flash They were the primeval source of my birth And they will keep my ash Deep green eyes of anemones Where through the leaves those phantom stars flash They were the primeval source of my birth And they will keep my ash
9.	Lemuria 04:39
10.	The Cosmos 04:55	lyrics
At the beginning of time There was only blackness Blackness deeper than moonless night And then came that spark Which started everything And all was formed from utter chaos You must seek your own spark in everything And may you find one You shall expand like cosmos And the former chaos of your soul Will raise a king Seize your will and all these spark Will never, oh never! Burn out And they will shine, lux in tenebris, To blackness deeper than moonless night.
