1.	Conjunction of the Suns 05:14	lyrics	buy track
A thousand years on Thra since the conjunction of the suns When the brothers were divided into order and chaos Together eternal in polarized incarnations Observing the cosmos through a severed millennium The gentle Mystics driven from the castle into exodus Toward a stone valley where lush melodies resonate The cruel vulturine beings create crustacean terrors Victims warped by the wrath of the deranged Skeksis Into the black oak under the void An inflamed eclipse against the peaks of silver hills See the mountain bathing beneath the rose fire Converging as a sole eye, the three flames shall burn Each orb as a unique imagination In the solitude of the orrery Physics, alchemy and existence Harmonizing to the pitch of the flute Taking wing to the skies or striding on land Consumed at the teeth of the vile Skreesh Charismatic drive tempered with a quiet calm Good and evil interlaced in an enchanting craft The parallels die in unison Insubstantial as ghosts in the mist The scroll of promised restoration in the ancient city The vivid flight of an everlasting essence Leap onto the crystal and plunge in the dark shard Rebuild our shattered planet by the light of its truth The living waters of dazzling stars Pouring forth opaque might as the arch of a bow Emboldened by the power of a forthcoming era As the celestial bodies realign Those who were exiled shall return to the palace And the pure urSkeks will leave this healed plane Perched atop a vital time When the foes again unite A great conscience is now sworn To usher forth the age divine When single shines the triple sun What was sundered and undone Shall be whole, the two made one By Gelfling hand, or else by none
2.	Age of the Visionaries 04:05	lyrics	buy track
In the madness of the tower of the seven orichalcum gates Glittering quintessence, realignment of the triple suns A planet returns from confusion, phantoms of annihilation A realm of destruction in chaotic rebirth Spectral knights in starlit plains chant the rhyme of the staves Darkling lords in swamplands drear cling to neon brilliance The benevolents and the miscreants in truce for another beginning We, the primitives, the dreamers seek the ways of creation Plowing through the soil of night in a sacred quest An apocalypse of thought, renaissance of imagining Revolting against thrones of order and stagnation From the rubble and silence we rise in a blaze We're still alive, our time has come The brave the strong and the foolish are one Control the magic, control destiny We are the leaders of the visionaries' age Survivors wear the crest of great ability and strength Wishes on the horizon and wonders in our hands Hear our laughter amongst the thunder We are the gods of myth, reveling in the storm Arete is forged in fires of the hermit's spells Pursue the virtuous traits of man and beast The knowledge is rampant, wisdom enacted Empowered by ability we become more than the heart Traverse the grim perils of the ancient wizard's castle Resisting the morbid that settle upon the hearth We leave the rites of fear at the offer of a new hope A divine opportunity to chase the sunrise Riding out on the wind of the aggressor At laser speed and through glowing mists unphased Sounding the horn from the wings of the rainbow A hypnotic chorus from angelic pantheons Once the navigator dares and steps toward the void From the highest window to the unfathomed Heavenscape Open my eyes and bless the dawn of utter zero The palace disappears forever To the open unknown we fly On the breath of the burning stars Following a whim of Icarian audacity Awakening as our will is wrought From the mountain of iron shadows Restoring the obscured truth from decay We understand and meet the challenge of our time This generation will set it right
3.	The Sawing Psychosis 04:10	lyrics	buy track
In a hostile world devoid of light, we are shaping dawn Obsessive apophenia, psychosis of creation Without haven free to journey through chaos We are the renegades compelled to rip the sword from stone Past and future polarized by belief and wrath Gone is the proselyte wisdom of a nihilistic age Surging wraiths on parabolic radiation waves The leviathan floating in ocular aurora Shining as hawks with a scorpion's sting Slashing with blazing talons of energy Piercing rage of poignant radiance Asylum in the luminous oceans of the far unknown Phosphenes like bursting words expelled from my gaze Poneglyph labyrinths floating in deep space Adroit architecture, angles of time equate The wingless dragonfly, juggernaut of the seven universes Powered by crystals toward shadows and stars This living spacecraft a furnace of viral youth We are the sweetness and the strength in a zone of dark Hunters of the divine secret, warriors of discovery Off we go to seas of blood grappling for truth Passionate we are assassins of all doubts Elite in the acceptance of reality as illusion Advancing toward the crux of our frantic existence Hymns for the fortune of glorious life The sun chair of the ancients not a throne of glass Traumatic hypnosis by the prince of ivory Through the monstrosity of immense galaxies Devouring bombarded planets of skeletal flames Howling paranoia with the ghosts of deprivation As cosmic moths destroyed by the solar rays Reaping the lividity of swollen moons Ride the gale of night away from unlit realms Chase the black trial to experience pangs of birth Coming from the span in victory arrayed With the faith of a revolutionary force
4.	Toward The Silver Seas Of Tormenthastrum 05:12	lyrics	buy track
Out of the proud sun toward the shores of another world Cormorant musings, silent visions ravening Hear the calling rhythm from wells of consciousness On ivory mares we voyage through arcades of legendry Architect of spheres and obelisks, intellect and madness The axis of creation and its glorious similitude Ocean caves at the feet of cyclopean might You cannot find the universe? You are within its core! The moon wears a bleak face, laughs at peerless beauty An inscrutable and captivating smile Weaving infinite shadows about itself A wonder cloaked in a mystery Navigate the blazing haze of the deep heavens Hollow cliffs seared by time closer now than eye has seen Strength in the nucleus of the perfect void Shatter every illusion at the leyline of truth Ancient creatures surfacing from every silver sea Surrendering of memories to the infinitesimal flame The eternal child passing through the mind like a whim Winged giants dancing at planetary speeds Promethean ideals, a symptom of being The myth of microcosm is just a fool's wisdom The cryptic spores of music are to stay forever The solitary chemistry of the plasmic waters Renewed from age to age, consolation of sorrows Breeding regularity from dissociated knowledge Arcana uphold me as the night wakes If life is the answer, the question must be Remember me when all bid farewell and leave you alone Remember me as new emotions sprout into new thoughts Remember me astonished as the fierce charge is made Remember me in songs of defiance as the wild rumpus starts Remember me when fires burst asunder over birthing skies Remember me when autumn winds move upon the ageing fields Remember me when miracles are lost beyond all agony Remember me as my raft proceeds into the darkness A terrace of sinking islands Sloping downward to the black oak In a caldera of smoldering waste Where the latent doom now stirs
5.	Blazing The Wild Stars 04:12	lyrics	buy track
A flight into distant space to pursue the call of seductive fate Adventure be our only guide, the tempting siren accelerates Seeds of exploration bloom to flowers of discovery Brighter than the beams of a thousand wave motion guns Destined to be renegades running at death's pace Gallant spirits bound to none, adorned in leather, steel and fire Outlaws with a warrior's eye, children of the summer forge A cadre of chariots driven by the lawless band Burning white comets and ancient planets The promised worlds we have seen The thrill endures, we dare to hope Entering miracles and confident dreams Hurled like a javelin from a mighty hand Leaving slipstreams of magnetic flames Intrepid and vigilant, we are lightning unleashed Surrender we won't, we are prime Amazed by a deluge of falling silver Novas of magma keening as crystal Glittering rain in the Magellanic clouds Even into hell we go with blessing upon us The fantasy must die only to become real This day is better than the illusion of tomorrows In love and young, our energy is infinite The spire of the unicorn musting toward the Heavenscape Hurtling, ascending at great mindless speed After all that we've survived, loosed and faster than light Coming to believe that all we see answers why we're alive We blaze the wild stars Move with us now, each frontier a new home, a treasure trove Gleaming as Gamilon and Iscandar in unity A maelstrom of bursting metal harnessed into primal force The lord of despair is silent darkened by his own cruelty Strife of questing is better than the comfort of depressive temples Against the solar gale with a heart of rushing passion Experience is better than the chill of brooding obsessions Mysteries will linger and the journey we will seek Higher rises the inferno masturbating with desire A choir of suspiring freedom, the lion hailing the day Before us no sword avails nor arrow pierce our souls Invulnerable, we are the rebels of the glowing fields They may be gods, but they aren't me Unlimited by any arbitrary prophecy Leave the meek to attend the little earth We shall inherit the universe!!!
6.	Pinnacle of the Vanished Dawn 04:16	lyrics	buy track
Witness the ecstasy of a celebrating soul Reave the halls of kings, cleanse the filth of centuries In the zealous flames of summer's raging creation Shattering the silent earth by the monstrous abyss Architects and visionairres counted in the game Innovators singing the worlds into existence Revealing the light of planets under seas Wielding a mesmerising storm amongst the mountains vast Active wonders shaped and sown by shining hand Envigorating anthems of an eager mind We shall not mourn nor step into wrath Pain is conquered by the endless dawn Comprehend the mathematics of the gods A canvas of immaculate simplicity Unholy reverence without illusion Mute with awe at the loss of pretense Elven sorcerers in dark obscurity In willful eyes gather the night of theogeny Shifting shadows, a divine afterthought Traces in the scarlet sands - lines on the palm of the one A spear of passion in the leader's mighty grasp To battle the fell captain - the drear and the wick'd Out into the middle of the conflict As the treasure remains our strength The blazing children won't cry for long Born without favor yet beyond tyranny No trap shall impede the heights we will reach We are the heroes upon the pulsing hill From a corner of dusk thunders the moon Immortal chanting from the wells of epochs The dynamic splendor of guardian beings All and none atop the sole collonade We see where hell cannot gain, to where the dream begins Arcane contours in the fabric of the myriad planes Swift as the flowing wind and rivers unseen Reaping the first majestic breath of the waxing morning As the window opens onto a pinnacle of inherent power
7.	Legends And Innocence 04:08	lyrics	buy track
Once, long ago Before the splendor of light When unicorn and serpent were beautiful With the first blazing innocence Sylvan purity harbored In eternal precious souls The balance of the universe In the chiming harmony of dawn Exiled upon the ancient paths Of the brothers Order and Chaos As the souvenirs of youth Become the silent laments of maturity Yet forgiveness lives in dreams Beneath the black oak For the sun was given to all And even Darkness himself should be loved
8.	Ruins Of The Eternian Castle 04:08	lyrics	buy track
An enormous stair, a grey cold castle stands The ravens fly at dawn, baptised by ice and wind The strengths of dark and light are one by the great moon Skeletor the tyrant upon his fearsome throne The thundering lord rules the world now slain The infernal unknown and the hurricane hordes Warriors divine and the ritual of steel Storming the evil rage of the iron one A prelude to the voice of the nemesis A curse of vitriol and disharmony Antagonistic night in a barren land The little magician dreaming of a time to come I am the last of the Eternian bloodline Aria of suffering in the halls of The Sorceress A despondent soul, an impaling silence A murderous day of shattered illusions By the dual halves of the sword, they will live The victorious heritage of the ashen skull I, the wandering prince of lorn valor A master and guardian of the universe Sheets of fire aflame my heart Blasting force of a hellish tide Bold at the point of glory I have the power and I will change it all We of the waves unbound by lament Arms of chaos in dimensional upheaval Livid scars upon the sorrowful sky No wreckage but emptiness is before me A mass of serpents upon the writhing mount In the fractured eye of the villainous staff The horn resounds in the dim wilderness Fierce hunger for the elder secrets Will I find what I'm looking for? Lightning falls alone over silver seas A mighty breath stirs in the rifts of the earth The gods have never forgotten me
