Lord Perrin Excellent female-fronted symphonic metal! Great, keys-heavy clear production. The closer is the best track on the album. Favorite track: Dawn.

Even stars die In each moonlight dream Lies a world at peace Fragile things are dreams And the sunrise kills sleep
2.
Wine flows before dawn So the sunrise doesn’t shine too strong Old scars seek shade Where they were born Where they still burn How was there a time when evening spread against the sky? In a minute there is a time In a drink; a lullaby Falling forward Each glass breaks Grasping chains Each drop stains //////// Watch each star die, so dies each lie The lying smile breaks Just shells remain, always the same Still the old guilt stains Crying for shades to return to light the candles Drowning the mind just to breathe Just one more night, and when that’s too hard to handle Just one more verse Just one more dream Just one more lie Hazy thoughts Breathe hope to all that rots (Chorus A, Chorus B) A faint ray begs a massive leap In quiet desperation Yearning for the rocking cradle Swayed by songs from ghosts in shells That cradle rocks no more Those songs are faded whispers The ray is dimmed to stony sleep While snow falls free; while fire’s leased Long into the abyss Slouching past Bethlehem There calls a pale light beyond Cast by the morning’s Son Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy Forgive me Hiding in shade by the long-forgotten candles Drowning the mind just to breathe Just one last night? No, that’s too hard to handle Just one last dream Just let me lie

Winds that roared so long ago Return to desecrate the snow So many times I wrote the words Never meant to be heard In fields of white where all has died Red renews long-dead life Awake, shiv’ring to old nightmares Dreams I fear and adore still; With each new page I’m searching for new words Still your petals fall free Smearing the ink A rose in the ice, thawing and freezing for years O, such is our fate my dear, I know I will wait, for each thorn’s cruel kiss ‘Til the end, ‘til the night I can hold you again But with love born wrong Winter never ends Diving off the bergs Escape into the sea Peering through the dark Into glacier-glass Reflections lack desires And so the current sighs Guides me back to ice To crimson and white (Chorus) Howling with the storm-winds Wand’ring bare tundra Losing to that current Ceaselessly borne back to the past

Envision Reflection Nature’s chain To show the unseen In search of truth in ash and clay Reality is losing strength Between the rifts of real and true Discovering a different view Envision Reflection Both will show us what we know But what we cannot see A mirror is an artist’s core Fragile, sharp, and free Framed in a vista A world less forsaken Giving the picture to a world used to taking Woven like canvas Torn at the edges Framed under tension Unsure and unquestioned Drowning and dreaming Silent and seeing Bound and believing Found only in feeling Mare di sangue And when the seas claim the earth again What they wrote will be sung in each swell of the waves And through their work we sometimes see That which they could not find A sense of what it all might mean The world they left behind
5.
Empty Page 04:51
No poet and an empty page Calypso My songstress Pages unbound Waves crashing down Ink-bloodied sea Sharks come to feed Lulled to sleep by your Judas-kiss Thaw before the frost Guided through the forsaken mist Never count the cost Erase the story and break the pen The symphony falls silent So dies the glory of mice and men Fall victim to the siren No poet and an empty page Venomous quake These walls will shake Ceiling collapse and the Windows will break Stones are torn down Back in the ground Eden lost to snakes in the grass Peace that could not last Every word is gone Every note is white Every soul’s a song Every love can fight Pages as clean as dawn This day is ours to write Only if surrender is signed Has destruction won Pen in hand and poem in mind Stories have begun Rewrite the story and sing again Behold the new horizon Rebuild the glory of mice and men A brighter sun is rising No poet leaves and empty page Pages are turning Candle-light is burning Light up my empty page
6.
Dawn 04:05
All the nights pass waiting for a chance to seize the day Tides draw back and lie in waiting; they return the same Joy belongs to nature’s children, not to just the best All too often minds are burderned, trapped until their death But no more Awakened we all seek We conquer every peak Finding our dawn Where the sky and the sea become one Where the orchards of life had begun Where the dark and the shade is undone When we see every weed as a rose When the net in the waves overflows When we know that the time never slows Laughing; we rekindle dawn Light is found in every crevice, in the smallest deed When no oak is found among us we must plant the seed Les fleurs les bougies combattront les pistolets La peur elle-même est la seule chose à redouter Les fleurs les bougies combattront les pistolets La peur elle-même est la seule chose que nous devons craindre
