Into the Saturnine Realm

I have discovered the world
Distant and shallow
With thousands to rule
And no one to follow
Realm of night dwelling in blackness
Only reproaches hang in the air
Turns out it's cursed what used to be blessed
Into the saturnine realm - I stare
Creation devours creation
As the meaning of life
Is to survive and not to live
Creation devours creation
All is to take and nothing to give
A toneless obelisk made out of fear
A construction raised in the middle of this sphere
Worshipped and hated by spectres of night
Craving the spark and were robbed of their sight
But now it's my turn and all is to burn
I'll fulfill your need, a man made to lead
Abandon old ways, dissolve viscid haze
Vanquish your dread and create a new creed

The Bringer of Sun
05:18
|

|
Under a sky stitched with thousands of lights
A night rimed with frost where a tear turns to ice
A hope being born out of darkness and spite
A heart of strong flame, burning, primed to ignite
Primed to ignite
For desperate things lurking down in the dark
Blind and forgotten but craving the spark
A spirit of fire and of rage is the one
Who burns up the darkness and brings them the sun
The Bringer of Sun
A fiery snake, a dragon of flame
A demon, a devil, a monster untamed
The dark fled away and he rebuilt the throne
For all of the ones who once wandered alone
Wisdom enthroned
Under the blaze of the rays from the sky
A daylight where all that is shadow must die
A hope on a path seeking knowledge and might
And a heart without chains and a mind crystal bright

A Broken Branch
04:41

I cannot sleep
I cannot think
Consumed by the future
And what it might bring
But holding my breath
And trembling at death
Will bring me no cure
For this malignant sting
How can I destroy this ascending pawn
How do I make this vast blunder be gone
Why has this misguided kindness prevailed
How could it happen that I should have failed
I am the father
I am the lord
I bestowed life on this
Ungrateful fraud
I should have never
Giv'n breath to this clay
Oh, if I'd known of this damnable day
Give them doubt, feed them lies
In the end everyone dies
Rest enthroned, oh, High and Great
But mind the gleam of coming fate

I Speak With Verity
06:31
|

Throw the blindfold in the fire
Set aside your raw desire
Behold the truth in flesh and skin
Progenitor of sin
Nought but mask here to admire
Expert acting of a liar
Noble mirage for the eyes
And rotten core within
He sees no value in your life, you fools
You're just an army of weak-minded tools
The march to the grave shall be all of your lore
An ill-mended soul is set only on war
Strong is the one I have seen cast you down
He sat on the throne and was wearing your crown
There is no hope, your future leads to gloom
Inscriptions of shame will be carved on your tomb
No hope remains for you: No hope but one
Slay the bright figure by your hand alone
Or blood like a river will flow 'neath your feet
And all of your strength shall be gone
A voice of order spoke to his ears
As he choked with grief and had eyes filled with tears
The heir was then cast into darkness and void
Which sealed the omen and empowered the fears
His sly, foul, head designed
A plan crafted to fool the mind
A voice convincing every kind
Of soul to wish to be confined
He has a power you are no match for
A sinister bane always craving for more
Resist or march for him wearing his cloak
Till nought remains but the blood, dust and smoke
Speaking of nobility
Fits his capability
It's nothing but gilded lies
Heed, I speak with verity

I and My...
05:04
|

|
There is a place where no man has set foot
In its fruitful soil each idea takes root
In sacred and untouched dark corner of mind
All of a sudden a weak glimmer has shined
Against the darkness it stretches its glow
The power and promise of its radiance grow
The glimmer evolves and begins to dance
Like an artist, consumed in a strange, obscure trance
This ribbon of light, joyful with life
Was lacking the knowledge of fear, woe and strife
Light as a wind, yet reshaping the world
Once to be seen with its power unfurled
Both in the beginning and in the end
Is the ultimate cornerstone
Essence of thinking, the paint of the mind
Which can burn with fire, yet be cold to the bone
I am the fire
Storm blazes right beneath my skin
Eyes filled with ire
Realm of rage trembles within
My future reflects red, ivory and metal
Decisions that you made were proven to be mad
Corrupted, demented, wicked and hurt
I am the victory dressed in an iron shirt
This is the craft stronger than divinity
Thought powers the forging of this glory all shall see
Behold the miracle that changes what may be
Now be obedient and hearken unto me
One for the earth, One for the air
One for the depths of fathomless despair

Visions

They built him a throne
A seat for a leader
Bringer of sun, bearer of light
The one whose heart was not of stone
But he refused to be crowned alone
Majesty - he proudly said
is worthless when you join the dead
King of the people of eternal night
The Bringer of Sun, bearer of light
He brought forth an idea conceived in hate
Craft me a ship - said with thrill on his tongue
Trusting the prophecy sealed his own fate
Creations gathered to build a great ark
Unbreakeble, colossal, a craft for a monarch
This is my vision, my history to be
For reason's sake you will all follow me
I am the sign your eyes craved years to see
End of all silence, end of the dark
I gave you the fire, he hasn't tossed a spark
Pools of sweat, dripping down from the face
Of every builder in this accursed place
Reflected the warship forged from the pain
Desire, and hatred of these broken men

The Cruise of Sanity
05:02

My decision is wisest
I am the being supreme
Your labour shall serve
To bring forth my dream
I am created to rule
Your primitive folk
I am the owner of the
Land on which you walk
The glimmer in his eyes
Has turned into a blaze
Thoughts once so organized
Lost their way in a maze
He lost his mind
His heart was set on fire
And all the dignity
Had changed into desire
You are my blessed army
I am the king
You are the horsepower
Of my uprising
All who heed the order
Will stand proud and tall
Each head which opposes
Is destined to roll
You are my possession
Fall on your knees
You are chosen now
To murder, take and seize
You are but a puppet
An empty shell
Come, sail to the skies
And surround them with hell

In the deepest void there lay a city wrapped in gold
Where the strong were selling worlds, the weak were to be sold
Precious metals glinted like a beacon in the night
And kept the crumbling bricks below hidden out of sight
In the city's gleam there loomed a warship drawing near
Illuminating solemn verses carved upon its side
A lust for retribution blinded all who sailed within
Craving blood and victory and vengeance long denied
All eaten up by ego and by greed
Fought fire with fire with hunger hard to sate
Not even as a king will you be free
You’ve risen to become the thing you hate
All eaten up by ego and by greed
Fought fire with fire till all in ashes lies
Not even as a king will you be free
You’ve risen to become what you despise
The ramparts and the gilded gates took little time to fall
Thin tinsel could not hold together crumbling, rotting walls
The streets were flooded with the blood – rejoice and sing
The King was dead. Long live the King
