I just don't know how it feels anymore
Life's drifting in time divided
Empire's falling in kingdom's rust
In echoes I won't hear when the night is over
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The beginning
There's no refuge for hopelessness
No science for broken-hearted frills
No ornaments, no light, no light bright enough
To cover the darkness of our faithless thrills, no
The beginning is the end, the beginning
The beginning is the end, the end
The pain that bonds it all together
The beginning, as we lose, the colors, as we faint,
The bloodline, the bloodline turned specter, turned specter as we end
The anguish of unknown, unfolded grief
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The end
I don't know how to cover the rues at my feet
Mercy's hidden like a lonesome treasure
And sorrow's evil, but when it's all you've got
It's a dear friend holding your crestfallen woes
The beginning, the beginning is the end, the end
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The edge may cover the words of disruption
Its youthful dream, its youthful dream may fool you into believing
That the voices you hear, you hear, you hear
May come from heaven and beyond
But static is the noise whispering in your ears
The beginning is the end
The beginning is the end
The pain that bonds it all together
The beginning, as we lose, the colors as we faint
The bloodline turned specter as we end
The bloodline, the bloodline as we end
The beginning
The anguish of unknown, unfolded grief
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The beginning is the end
A man is falling, falling, falling on his knees
A man is falling, falling, falling on his knees
A man is falling, falling, falling on his knees
A man is falling, falling, falling on his knees
A man is falling, falling, falling, falling, falling on his knees
A man is falling, falling, falling, falling, falling on his knees
The beginning is the end

Winter is Coming In
07:44
|
|||
So I heard another winter is coming
Never truly knew what to make out of it
I spent my whole life crafting storms of my own
Always looking for new possible ways to avoid the shades of my pale shadowing reflection
Confused with lights, confessing pieces of my everlasting sorrows
Have I lost my senses? I don't know
So I heard another winter's coming
It might be hard to believe, looking back at it now
As if my world lost its senses many, many years ago
Like old wooden horses turning through childhood memories
But pure laughter doesn't come that easy anymore
As we keep turning around, looking for places to land our long saddened days
Have I lost, have I lost my senses?
May we be saints, may we be whores or a little bit of both, like much of everything else
I guess in the end, it's not that much about the truth
But how good we became at turning late night illusions into a bright morning view
It's never that easy I suppose, to kneel down with a smile
When we kept denying our souls from the magic shining through
Have I lost, have I lost my senses?
Have we lost our senses?
I don't know
Have I lost my senses?
Have we lost our senses?
Have I lost my senses?
Have we lost our, our senses?
Have I lost my senses?
Have I lost?
Our winter's coming in
Our winter's coming in, I heard
Our winter's coming in
Our winter's coming in
I wish I could say it's looking at the sun that I've lost all sight of hopeful colors
That I've turned blind to others, others' hearts beating their breezes and gentle kisses
And I'm laying down, shoulders stroked, I'm crumbling on dirty ground, tired and weary
If only I could stop
If only I could stop the overflowing mournful sand from falling on my hourglass eyes
I swear, I would
My darkened spirit ruins, into a brand new glowing let go filled with wonders
If only I could stop, I swear
If only I could stop for one second
I swear, I would
Have I lost my senses?
I don't know
Have I lost my senses?
Have I lost my senses?
Have I lost?
Our winter's coming in
Our winter's coming in, I heard
Our winter's coming in
Our winter's coming in
Goodbye youthful shivers, goodbye
Goodbye youthful shivers, goodbye
Majestic halo, my dazzling twilight
Goodbye, goodbye
Winter's coming in
Winter's coming in

(The weight of the world
is love.
Under the burden
of solitude,
under the burden
of dissatisfaction
the weight,
the weight we carry
is love.
but we carry the weight
wearily,
and so must rest
in the arms of love
at last,
must rest in the arms
of love.
No rest
without love,
no sleep
without dreams
of love--
The warm bodies
shine together
in the darkness,
the hand moves
to the center
of the flesh,
the skin trembles
in happiness
and the soul comes
joyful to the eye--
yes, yes,
that's what
I wanted,
I always wanted,
I always wanted,
to return
to the body
where I was born.)
We all wish to find a place, to go back as a friend
To hear our names from the high-wave stand
We all wish to find a place
We all wish to find a place, to go back as a lover
We stir and swirl, we kneel and hope, we cry and pray
Trying to follow
We all wish to find a place, to go back as a lover
To feel the tide from our high-wave stand
In the shadows between the lights
In the shadows of our evening tides
I never learned how to swim
Like water in my hands, on your lips
In the shadows of our evening tides
In the shadows between the lights
In the shadows of our evening tides
In the shadows between the lights

A gun has been fired, echoes from the mountain can't lie
The hunters, the hunters have been tracking their preys from early morning
The snow is still flickering through the cold breezing sky
The blood on the ground is slowly disappearing underneath
The hunter is coming
December's falling down and time suddenly seems too numb to care
I never thought it could be that cold here
The hunter is coming, the hunter is coming down, the hunter is
Another footstep away from you, lost in distant storms
My long view's blurry by slow streaming cast and tones
The hunter is coming
My heart's howling for spring, for memories to revive
But high hopes never bloom from our saddened demise
The hunter, the hunter is coming
The hunter, the hunter is coming, coming for me
The prey is laying down in the freezing evening cold
Wounded by the very same hands that used to feed his land
The winter
The air so sweet and soft, almost perfume, over its body, broken, broken, broken
Horizon's never been that magnificent, that vivid and free
But freedom has a color that I just can't see
The hunter, the hunter is coming, the hunter
The men, tired of their ceremonial walk over, walk over the hill
Standing witnesses, life leaving traces of a dream now fading into the night
I'm breathing in, I'm breathing in and out, I'm breathing in
I'm breathing in, I'm breathing in and out
The hunter, the hunter is coming
I'm breathing, I'm breathing in and out
I'm breathing
Another footstep away from you, I'm lost in distant storms
Another footstep away
My long view's blurry by slow streaming cast and tones
Seaside never felt that far, never felt that unreachable
My heart's howling, my heart's howling for spring, for memories to revive
The hunter is coming
But high hopes never bloom
The hunter is coming
I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out
I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out
The hunter is coming
I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out
The hunter is coming
I never thought it could be that cold here
The winter is coming, the winter is coming, the hunter is coming
Forgiveness is a gift, much like love carries its goodwill stray
We watch a new day, rising from afar, kneeling our last breath away
And I'm breathing in, and I'm breathing out
The hunter is coming, the hunter is coming
As we stand under a crystal curtain of dazzling gold
Beholding a last image of youthful faith
The hunter is coming
The hunter is coming
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
The hunter is coming
The hunter, the hunter, the hunter is coming
The hunter, the hunter is coming, the hunter
Forgiveness is a gift, much like love carries you away, away
The hunter is coming
The hunter is coming
Winter is coming
The hunter is coming
Coming for me
Coming for me
Coming for me
The hunter, the hunter, the hunter is coming for me
Coming for me
Coming for me
Coming for me
He's coming, he's coming, he's coming, he's coming for me
And I'm breathing in, breathing out
Forgiveness is a gift, much like love carries its goodwill stray
One step away from you
Don't wait for me, I won't be back this time, won't come home tonight
I've closed my eyes in peaceful glimpses of pure white sky, I've closed my eyes
And I'm thinking of you, feeding the fire, the fire
Our dreamful laughter life
I'm thinking about you
I'm thinking
Don't wait for me, I won't be back this time, don't wait for me
Don't wait for me, I won't come home tonight
I've closed my eyes in peaceful glimpses of pure white sky
I'm thinking of you, feeding the fire of our dreamful laughter life
Now I'm standing, I'm standing by the seaside window, looking at you
And I'm looking at you, looking at you
Don't wait for me, I won't be back this time, don't wait for me
Don't wait for me, I won't be back this time, don't wait for me
The hunter, the hunter, the hunter, the hunter is coming
The hunter is coming
And he's coming for me
But high hopes never bloom from our saddened demise
Not until flowers unfold their pure redeeming blue, until we find peace with our hunter's rue
The hunter is coming
The hunter is coming
Don't wait for me, the hunter is coming
I won't be back this time, the hunter is coming
I won't come home tonight, the hunter is coming
And I've closed my eyes, and I'm thinking about you
Don't wait for me, I won't be back this time, no no no no
The hunter is coming, the hunter is coming
The hunter is coming
And I'm standing right above your seaside window shine
Just a footstep away from you
I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out
I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out
I'm breathing in

Snowflakes in July
07:17
|
|||
The visitors, waiting to dwell into the lights
Covering their eyes before the man newly turned into a ghost
The view is foggy, and so are memories
The sound seems so distant, but the emotion is so vivid, so real
A picture, a few words, a box, some ashes
True endings always find a way to be summarized
Turn life into a faint suitable piece of lonesome shine
We look around in disarray, the mirror's bleak, nobody sees
So real, so real
There will be time for you and I
For morning tides to lift us all back into the lights
There will be time
So real
There will be time, there will be time
There will be time, there will be time for you and I
There will be time, there will be time for you and I
There will be time, there will be time
There will be snowflakes in July
Strangers defining the rights from the wrongs
The place got colder as time passes by
Existence, like love, is never easy to comprehend
It comes and goes, a gift for some, a curse for others
Always, so real
There will be time
For tears, pain, sorrows, and emptiness
In absence of answers, I kept everything inside
I wish I could have cried, could have felt something
But I stood in silence, lost into the dark, wide awake, blindfolded
So real
Always
There will be time
There will be time
There will be snowflakes in July
So real
There will be time, there will be time
So real
There will be time, there will be time
There will be snowflakes in July
The visions onward, everything gets so blurry as I grow weak
Is it possible to go through, to change our ways
Heard universe ain't old enough for stars to fill the night
Insensitive we are to the wavelengths, all coming from the sky
So real, so real, so real
There will be time, there will be time
There will be time, always
There will be time, there will be time for you and I
There will be time, there will be time for you and I
There will be time, there will be time
For you and I
We pray, bow down, muse and contemplate
Scattering the past in places that used to be alive
Recall the joys we now hold onto with so much care
Haunted by the fear of forgetting voices and desires
Always, so real
So real, always
Always
But there will be time for morning tides to lift us all into the lights, into the lights
To go back into the lights, always
For you and I

Summertime Departures
05:23
|
|||
I've been covering my eyes, barely holding breath
Haven't slept much, can't figure how it goes down
The struggles, the damage, the faithless trials
It doesn't change the way I feel about you now
Lost in the winds of summertime departures
I've seen you
I've seen the clouds bloom and disappear
Silences feeding their own masterful cheers
Uplifting praise beholding love, lifetime gold
Enough for me to count my every haven funerals
Lost in winds of summertime departures
I've seen you
Alive and well
I've seen you
And we're all set to lose
One day or another
We're all set to lose
And I set stones on your sanctum shrine
Wrote down a few words so I could remember
I hate to say, but I told you so, so many times
And I set stones on your sanctum shrine
Wrote down a few words of my own so I could remember
Remember
Remember
Remember that it's not your death that hurts the most
It's the sadness that I kept growing between us
Drifting from places where I always felt stuck and in the way
Lost in the winds of summertime departures
And I hate to say, but I told you so
So many times before
We're all set to lose
One way or the other
We're all set to lose
In the end
We're all set to lose
And I see now
And I hate to say I told you so
So many times before
Oh I see now
And it's not the fights, the fights we had
That kept me away from you
I've been sticking around, as long as I could
I've been sticking around, as long as I could
For you to decline my care, my invitations
The lantern's tired, the fog's still growing
Shadow's howling, shadow's howling
Waiting to take you away from me, to fly away, to fly away with you
And I'm tired, and I hate to say I told you
And I set stones on your sanctum shrine
Wrote down a few words so I could remember
That it's not your death that hurts the most
It's the sadness that I kept growing between us
Lost in the winds of summertime departures
And I see now
And I hate to say I told you so
So many times before
Oh I see now
And it's not the fights, the fights we had
That kept me away from you
Sometimes, when I'm able to find some peace
I dream I could sail through the past, beyond my craving illusions
To let my teardrops fall into the ocean
Hoping they'll reach you out somewhere
And I'll see you one day
Coming back for me

Lavender Sky
06:16
|
|||
The trigger's pulled on long-distance goodbyes
The trigger's pulled, the word's confessed
The trigger's pulled, one last embrace
The trigger's pulled
And the sun falls down from a far, far distance
Through all we share
Until we all go down, down, down
Kneeling for grace
And the sun falls down from a far, far distance
Through all we share
Until we all go down, down, down
Kneeling for grace
From a stranger to another, another
Lavender sky
Another
The pain's scattered, and time's wrapping its youthful promise
We've got new temples and prays
But the fears remain the same, never feels any better
Silent motion through science and flares
But it's gets older as we fade, never as we fare
And the sun falls down from a far, far distance
Through all we share
Until we all go down, down, down
Kneeling for grace
From a stranger to another, another
Lavender sky
Another
The trigger's pulled, I'm drifting away
The trigger's pulled, without a trace
The trigger's pulled
If truth is the sorrow we bare
If truth is the sorrow
We pull the trigger with every step
We pull the trigger with every step
We pull the trigger
We're setting fire on a moment that matters
Illusions covering the bad from the worst
Reflecting motion, reflecting motion
From a stranger to another, the good like the worst
We're pulling the trigger, we're pulling the trigger
And it hurts like the truths we denied one another
To keep our faith in what doesn't feel any better

The journey comes with joyful streams
Joyful streams and tearful motions
The journey comes
The journey comes with joyful streams and tearful motions
The love that moves, forgives and heals
The journey comes
With joyful streams, tearful motions
The end is beginning
The end is beginning
The end is beginning
The love that moves
The end is beginning and I will find you when the night is over
Through shadows of time, ghosts of past sufferings
I will conquer darkness and make it shine
The end The end is beginning
I will embrace the lights and let memories find their peace through shadows of time
The end is beginning
I will find you when the night is over
The love that moves
The love that moves
The end is beginning
The end is beginning and I'm no longer afraid to make it mine
To let my spirit flow, my heartfelt soul transform and molt
To keep my eyes in bloom, to look at you in all wonders
The end is beginning and I'm no longer afraid to make it mine
To keep my eyes in bloom
The end is beginning
The love that moves, forgives and heals
Through shadows of time, ghosts of past sufferings
I will conquer darkness and make it shine
I will conquer darkness and make it shine
The end is beginning
