We've waited so long My starving eyes Drunk to see
We've waited so long Blind Neither living nor dead
We could have died to see the world in bloom
Poisonous eye
The eyes of men, they withered in the sun And reason enslaves us no longer
Yet vision is all that mathers To a wayward traveller
Another dream... another dream is all we are longing for
In every shade, a fragment of light, In every shape, every colour, the chasms of solitude
In the temple of truth, we were burning And we saw the dim sun swallow the sky
Cast out by the scorn of men In the desert of faces
Can we live without shame? Can we die without pride?
Poisonous eye
All joy is gone
Seven eyes to see
All joy is gone
Seven eyes to bleed
2. Worn Out With Dreams
Don't tear apart your name It hides you, and it heals the pain
Don't tear out your love, you can't depart from me You'll stay away from harm
Abide bt me, when indecision strikes Down there with me Let me enfold you
I can't escape our frail embrace I bend under the morning light But I could scale the face of life
Mock me, mock me If my voice is unsteady I'm just worn out with dreams
Under your pale, sardonic sky I am watching myself crawl Down to me Down with me Onward a new path
Let me enfold you
We cannot escape our frail embrace We bend under the morning light
3. Charis
Beauty dies of beauty Love of love
In the fever of our waiting We were decieved, without deceivers Betrayed, without betrayers
A mirror waits for your face
And I have been awaiting you
4. Under War-Broken Trees
Skies visible Under the seaside shadows By the city, by the gates
Streets of sands/sadness strays
The war is over now The pain is over now
Fair eyes still can't see The healing time provides
Warless I could not see
Sous des cieux fades promesses Des horizons hallucines La terre nous etait desormais etrangere Patris Pontos
Les flots brises Le sillage ... un enclair Terre, mer, cieux melanges ... Seuls les vents hurlent a nos oreilles Nos yeux francasses que le sang aveugle... Sur une mer demontee, machine de colere
"watch over me"
Beyond the velvet veil of fear A firmamant of grieves A century of burning
We were tempted by a shade... In war times, only The shell lonliness is safe But under war-broken trees, Dreams come fast...
Dreams come when you are weary of the sun.
5. Away From Barren Stars
Worse than mourning Disdain, dances at my side
Another wasted day And shadows stained your silent face Yet Weary with passions The sevenfold seas were young
Your sibilant eyes, bloodied with tears
I'll pray for you, I'll stay away from barren stars
The land is just an ocean of fear And your love has vanished
6. Winds Devouring Men
[Instrumental]
7. Vision Is All That Matters
I became the great deciever To see what fair eyes still can't see ...
A tear in every sea A fragment of light exhausted
Vision, is all that matters To a wayward traveller
Through centuries of burning We have waited so long Cloaked in a serpent's skin From the portal, I was calling you
You lay me, in the dust of the dead
A swan in agony
8. The Newborn Sailor
At night we were drowning Mesmerized by your songs We were lured Into the maze of your love
When the drop of life bursts An ocean of joy And freedom for the newborn sailor
Through aeons of time Our eyes were smothered by the sun Now even in the dark we see ... Wanton light steers us no more Eyeless we sailed
When the drop of life bursts An ocean of joy And freedom for the newborn sailor
9. The Plain Masks Of Daylight
The night shade A dark colonnade
The cypress, then the shore... I sought comfort in the foam The wind heals the pain A pale november rises You know how the days gone by Even night sought shelter Under the plain masks of daylight
Bitterness we wait... We ate the fruits of rainy hours
As ulysses looking seaward We mocked our innermost abodes We sailed on older seas And reached the bounds of deepest water
A wreckage in the rain
But the wind heals the pain
10. A Staggering Moon
Amidst the streams of the river The flow Was achanging And autumn rain unfolded its charm
With the thorns of absence So sweet to your skin In the dusty veils of morning You had forgiven all bearing
The land blessed the manifold Faces of your love The garden Lies asleep The grave unclouded And we dance about a fallen sun
