BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA We’ve been waiting for them for too long now Far away, At the gates of death Suddenly a wild ride appears Here we are They come back to us, Followed by the reaper It's too late to turn back now May Gods have mercy upon us Rain has the taste of blood, fear invades us But tonight, martyrs we will be Stand up comrades and be brave Finally here we are, a new era looms Rain has the taste of blood, bravery invades us Tonight, we will be martyrs So stand up comrades and be strong Yes here we are This is the beginning of a new era The moon is shining in the sky Enlightening our last night of hell May she liberate us from this insanity

FROM THE END TO THE ORIGINS Night has fallen, for too long now The air is stifling, the wind rises The moon, more ominous than ever, disappears slowly Behind the immense clouds of incredible darkness The ground collapses, everything is crumbling around me There is chaos, decadence of the world A feeling of terror came over me Suddenly, a thunderstorm bursts Tentacles of lightning rage against the earth They seems to be coming from beyond Ripping up the sky to illuminate this bruised landscape Shattering it from all sides, the world is smashed to pieces This scene of desolation scares me But I stand there, awaiting my fate Stunned by this apocalyptic vision Immaculate and pure, the light blinds me Before it passes through my body A feeling of deliverance, of evasion Absolute lucidity, I can see everything now The world reveals its true colours to me Everything becomes clear (He comes to us) I can see them (Discover the origins) They stare at me (The origins of the creation) Who are they? Where am I? (Of his depraved world) Everything seems so real (Welcome to where it all begins and where it all ends)

EPHEMERAL WORLD I Journey to the unknown Pulled into the void Journey to infinity I am free now
5.
EPHEMERAL WORLD II Lost in a maze Of beauty and strangeness To meet Myself, my being In the middle of a crowd And yet, still so alone Here, I'm at home In this unknown place I'm amazed by this landscape Of absolute sumptuousness But I am afraid of this madness Creator of this place Ephemeral world That disturbs my mind That soothes me nonetheless This ephemeral world

THE CURSE OF AHRIMAN Under their worn feet Burning sand dunes High like rogue waves Forming an ocean of sand That grows with each step They suffocate from the stifling heat Exhausted by this endless journey That will lead them straight to hell At the horizon, the heights of the city appears A gigantic palace dominates the city As they approach It grows, becoming so high Dwarfing the sun, it becomes terrifying These men could not imagine Venturing between these walls That these streets were just an illusion The sky grows darker, walls are crumbling Water is blood, life becomes death Everything is dying around them Their souls will soon darken They see him, the vile demon, the guilty of this curse Before becoming prisoners, forever to Ahriman

The Old Man 06:28
THE OLD MAN There was a man, an old man Alone since forever, despite himself Consumed by loneliness and despair He was only sadness in the eyes of others He took refuge in his madness, creating his own world That reflected his troubling personality An oniric place where the fear has gone He was master of these places but victim of his dementia By dint of immerse himself into it Both universes became only one He could no longer distinguish the truth from the imaginary But the old man never knew this There was a man, an old man Alone since forever, despite himself Consumed by loneliness and despair He was only sadness in the eyes of others There was a man, an old man Away from his peers ,from reality Consumed by his madness, his imagination Soon lost in his sick mind His own prisoner, in fabulous places At the height of his art, an extraordinary creator Overtaken by his demons Who took him to the deepest of his mind

Darkness 09:15
DARKNESS Oh how obscurity relieves me By her strength, everything is deteriorating, all around me Revealing the vapid heart of my existence The shadow is watching me, what she waiting for? I will not move, confined in the darkness In loneliness, I'am languishing I waited for you, take me with you To make the pain disappear Leaving the place to the vacuum Liberate me from all this That oppresses me When I will feel, that she will seize me In a deep sleep I 'll finally see her, in my nightmare And I will be only witness of my suffering Lying there, I will be seeing myself Already a shadow I waited for you, take me with you To make the pain disappear Leaving the place to the void Free me from all this That makes me anxious

WEAVERS OF TIME Between space and time, manipulating life In the depths of the universe, among the stars Between two worlds, their powers extend Into our own depths, they control us Tirelessly, without a word Eternal repetition Masters of destiny Guardians of balance Like puppets, we are at their mercy Slaves of time, we are guided by our wire Like puppeteers, they are the decision makers Of everything we do, nothing escapes them Between reality and oniric, a perfect harmony Life and death intersect, to preserve it Weavers of time, supremacy of gods From their cosmic place, maintain the balance By the might of their wires They are the masters of our destiny Even in our dreams, they observe Imposing their vision, their laws Tirelessly, without a word In an eternal repetition Masters of destiny, gardians of balance The fate of the universe rests in their hands Both reapers and mothers In order to keep a serene future Weavers of time, supremacy of gods Through the ages, they guide us By the might of their wires They are the guardians of balance

Cosmic Dream 06:58
COSMIC DREAM The air is icy, a wind shear A green glow wanders above the horizon In the clear sky, the Milky Way reveals all its splendor Dominating the skyline, the mountains rumble Something incredible is about to happen I'm scared and excited all at once My whole body is shivering I am immobilized, my heart is racing Impressive planets appear, they are too close The celestial bodies intertwine Rejecting an intense light A cataclysm of cosmic beauty The shockwave is huge Making the ground burst Here I am, at the edge of the void I let myself be carried away Into the increasing nothingness To reach the stars
