When We Are Forgotten

Tracklist

• 1. When We Are Forgotten (06:42)
   copy

  Silent rooms
  Broken dreams
  A distant light
  
  Pain guiding us through life
  Death, a beginning or the end?
  Misery, our constant friend
  The certainty of death reaches for our hands
  
  Have we ever ignited flames?
  Flames of eternity
  
  When we are forgotten
  
  Behold the unknown spheres
  Sacrifice our burning hearts
  
  Have we ever ignited flames?
  Flames of eternity
  
  When we are forgotten
  
  When we are forgotten
  Mankind will still tame the land
  When we are forgotten
  Our statues will reach the sky
• 2. Bis ich bin (05:51)
   copy

  Ich reiste
  Durche die Ode
  Mein
  
  Als die Zeit da Licht gebar
  Warf ein' Schatten auf den Pfad
  
  Sehend, schreitend
  Doch wer bin ich?
  Nur ein Unlicht
  
  Der Wind tragt Stimmen
  Fauchend
  Den Samen der Niedertracht
  Tanzend
  
  Doch als der Wald
  Den Schein verschlang
  Ward Licht, Schatten
  Und nicht mehr mein
  
  Bin ich, oder nicht
  Im Zwielicht des Geasts
  
  Bin ich eins mit dir
  Im Schatten-Meer
  
  Doch als die Nacht
  Das Licht verschlang
  Ward weder Schatten
  Noch ward ein Licht
  
  Ich weiẞ ich war
  Ich weiẞ ich war
  Und reise nun
  Bis ich bin
• 3. My Solace I (Choirs of Solitude) (07:04)
   copy

  Until naught remains
  The day disappears into night
  Sweeps time through the land
  Howling and growling
  
  Recurrent words echo
  Cripple my soul
  Until naught remains
  Naught remains
  
  Tear at my bonds
  And bloody my life in loneliness
  Choirs of solitude
  
  Emptiness devours the dreams
  The quest becomes memory
  Ere the will drowned
  And the silence reigns
  
  Within the shadow of hope
  Grows a light of deception
  Until naught remains
  Naught remains
  
  Tear at my bonds
  And bloody my life in loneliness
  Choirs of solitude
  
  Choirs of solitude

• 5. A Cave Called Wisdom (06:05)
   copy

  Scattering light
  Leaves cast shadows
  Dispel, dispel
  Echoes from the valley
  
  Still bound
  Luminous grove
  The spell, the spell
  From the abyss deep
  
  A cave called wisdom
  
  I am entering the scape
  Emptiness and coldness
  Solace is unknown
  Illusion a dead mind
  
  A cave called wisdom
  
  Loss or victory
  Following the glint of perception
  Darkness is wisdom
  Is wisdom
  
  Down deep, pure silence
  Whispering secrets
  So gone, so gone
  Toward the plain
  The plain
  
  Glazed grimaces
  Agonized souls
  Frozen to ice
  The eye is opening
  
  Loss or victory
  Following the glint of perception
  Darkness is wisdom
  Is wisdom
• 6. Transcendence (06:09)
   copy

  The sun soared
  Into dark moist green
  Aflamed my mind
  A thought was born
  
  Under the misty roof of dreams
  The others remained like accursed
  In deepest sleep
  
  Within darkness I crept out
  Over the dreamers begone
  Into solitude away
  
  Outdoors, my stare solidified
  The forest was ranged
  By a poignant cold veil
  And the firs drowned silently
  
  Under darkness I ventured forth
  A spirit for reason and verity
  
  Within the misty breath of trees
  I passed through the covert
  Crowned and free
  
  The shelter, dim and distant
  I looked into my heart
  Saw bitterness
  But bravery wasn't washed away
  No
  
  Transcendence
  
  I espied now my path
  My fate is nourished
  Not by sheltered sleep
  But dark obscurity
  
  A way into an uncertain realm
  A reign of whispering shadows
  This may fill my craving
  For transcendence and spirit

• 8. Absenz Elysium (06:53)
   copy

  Durch Raum und Zeit
  Ein fliehender Traum
  In Leere und Amnesie
  Verschlingt die Farben Deiner Mar
  
  Absenz Elysium
  Dein Reich, dein Pfad
  
  Was hebt nun dein Haupt
  Welch' Streben nahrt die Saat
  Eitelkeit gebart Verganglichkeit
  
  Absenz Elysium
  Dein Reich, dein Pfad
  
  Absenz Elysium
  
  Was war, vergeht
  Was verging, verschwand
  Der Schmerz vergluht
  Am Ende allen Seins
  
  Welch' Thron ergreifst du hun
  Wer schenkt den Worten Lohn
  Der Weisheit folgt Vergessenheit
  
  Absenz Elysium
  Dein Reich, dein Hohn
  
  Absenz Elysium
  Dein Reich, dein Hohn
  
  Welch Gott erhort dein Fleh'n
  Wer schenkt den Lugen Dank
  Aus Gebet wird Sicherheit
  
  Absenz Elysium
  Dein Reich, dein Trank
  
  Absenz Elysium
• 9. My Solace II (Paths of Perception) (06:50)
   copy

  Standing in the forest, so cold
  Watching the snow fall silently
  And the orphaned gleaming fires
  While the wind caresses the firs
  Enjoying the emptiness and
  And clarity
  
  Will I ever find my solace?
  Will my thirst ever pass?
  Still riding the nightly roads
  And walking the paths of perception
  
  The years passed fast, carving my heart
  I drank from the grail of joy
  Finding clarity in wilderness
  And chaos in the dark
  Against my fate, the tide
  
  Will I ever find my solace?
  Will my thirst ever pass?
  Still lighting the nightly fires
  When everybody has gone
  Is gone
  
  Will I ever find my solace?
  Will my thirst ever pass?
  Still lighting the nightly fires
  When everybody has gone
  Is gone

• 11. Frozen in Time (07:22)
   copy

  Dancing lights on the wave's crest
  A cold wind stirs
  On autumnal shores
  Watching across into another time
  
  Frozen in time
  Until the sun's elapse
  Frozen in time
  Until the stars summon the shade
  
  Frozen in time
  
  At the cold springs
  Voices hail through the night
  Fill the void with memories
  The feeling within another time
  
  Frozen in time
  While the fire burns
  Frozen in time
  While voices rake the blaze
  
  Frozen in time
  Until the sun's elapse
  Frozen in time
  Until the stars summon the shade
  
  Frozen in time
  While the fire burns
  Frozen in time
  While voices rake the blaze
  
  Expended pleasures
  Vanished friends
  Forgotten pain
  Depleted passions
  
  Frozen in time
  While the fire burns
  Frozen in time
  While voices rake the blaze
