1. Viderunt Te Aquae

[Intro]


2. Arising Thunder

Time for your reflection
What's the promise you have made?
Destruction of your pride and reconstruction of my name
You betrayed me where's your bravery?
Now you face your doom
Your fate will be traced by the spear that went tearing through
When you hear the winds of revenge
All of the distance and the chains
You put around my damned soul
Right now it's all finished
I'm just building your new world
While you navigate in peace
And glance at lands you will control
Bewitched you cannot see the route
And hell where you will go

[Bridge:]
When you hear the winds of revenge
You will see the goddess crying
And the boats will sink and now
You play my secret game

[Chorus:]
Arising Thunder!
Welcome to me, you fall alone
Stand up and face me in a fight!
Drowning in tears deep in the storm
Once again, once again!
Go!
Look out!

[Repeat bridge & chorus]

Once again,
Push!
Once again!


3. Awake From Darkness

Out in the dark I roam onward to meet my fate
Time's an illusion today
Away from all I know, a frail that is filled with pain
Feeling the lifeless taste ahead
I wish for no more than air

[Chorus:]
Flashes of clearness cross my eyes, disclosing power
The tides will hurry my return
Now in the blackness I see light, I will not cower
I contemplate life with helpless faith
Master of my design I am, awake from darkness

Pages of wisdom turn, mind over matter reigns
My fear won't lead me astray

[Repeat chorus]

I seek the quiet night, over the crushing waves
I imagine thoughts on golden rays and days when I'll rise again

I am
Awake from darkness

[Repeat chorus]

A broken dignity an upsurge soon to be
Within these books I find my hope and liberty

[Repeat chorus]

I am
Awake from darkness
I!


4. Lease Of Life

Where do you come from?
I hear an angel's song
It seems to be a call,
Eros's chant of love
Take me through the storm

When you came from?
It took so long
Spirit brought me life,
a passion at first sight
Lend thy hand, my heart

Nymphs dance around the isle
A phantom screams and haunt me all the time
Then you come
Like an angel from the skies
Princess of my dreams
I wonder why you are gone
Someday you'll return

Where do you come from?
Faraway? Beyond?
Virgin as a diamond
Precious like a child

Lend thy hand, my heart
We've got to believe we'll join our lives
Over the vengeance, treason of lies
We can be one, we can restart

Forgive my mistakes (time will tell)
Forgive my mistakes, someday
Since I arrive on the shore
I've seen all (someday)
A new chance brought from the source
In a lease of life


5. The Rage Of The Waters

Rise of the tides, breaking the hush
Far in the distance it's heard
Watery eyes, feelings disturbed
Face the troubled waters
Soaking the earth, kissing the sand
Your feelings seem to overflow
Running in streams, out of control
A wave is on its way

It will collide against your soul
When your fears are all tumbling in disorder
In the ocean of new emotions

[Chorus]
In the rage of the waters
Wild surging, transformations, molding our lives
It's the age of the waters
Stirring up the patterns of our minds
So long, it took me to learn
Surging waves can take all your hope
But when the torment ends, comes the calm
There's no reason to despair, no!

[Repeat chorus]

In the rage of the waters
Where the tides are turning, feelings are running, molding our lives
It's the age of the waters
Boiling the fears we've kept inside, changing the direction of mankind


6. Spirit Of The Air

Deep in the ocean, mermaids are crying
Oh, Lord
King of thunder, magic surrounds You
Oh, Lord

On the island, land of the elves of the hills
Ariel's wind, blow the sails into a war

Before You can say, "Spirit! Come and go!"
My Lord
I'll bring the tempest, I won't even question
I'll be gone in a trip of a toe

Inside of your rage, now I'm trapped again
Cloven pine was my prison for a decade

[Chorus:]
Groves and standing lakes
Island of dreams where You reside
Spirit of the air
You throw your tricks and spells
And claim for your freedom once denied
It's no good watch the skies through someone else's eyes

I'm a soul of freedom, Lord of the wisdom
A creature of nature, I drag 'em to the ocean

[Repeat chorus]

Through someone else's eyes...


7. Hollow

Enchanted by fierce desire
Souls consumed with haunting fire
An empty guarantee
A stolen freedom

Deceptive illusions rise
Take the chance to mend your pride
Been tortured and humbled
Never again

Lost in a maze of sounds
Clarity escapes
The whispers chase you away
Numb and unaware

Hollow, the world where you belong
Lies you have believed for far too long
Laid low, life has come undone
Nothing stays the same, for time is all you own
All you own

Under a cold dead sky
In the sea you'll learn what you must be
Stretch for hell as you seek revenge
Bear the scars of your inhuman rage

Lost in a maze of sounds
Clarity escapes
The whispers chase you away
Numb and unaware

Hollow, the world where you belong
Lies you have believed for far too long
Laid low, life has come undone
Nothing stays the same
For time is all you own
Empty spirit, hollow soul


8. A Monster In Her Eyes

I always was a lower being
Not much, I'm just a beast
You might think I'm the lowest of the low
But there is something you should know.

Long before you came
You'd have found me here,
and never begged for your help
This old land will be mine once again

And all my sacrifice will be worth the price
and never again I'll be a monster in your eyes

You took my freedom:
And shaped it into your servant
You taught me your tongue
Denying me the word

Lord o' mine for so long
Now comes the time to regain my land

And Miranda will see
All my sacrifice, will be worth the price
And never again I'll be a monster in her eyes
I'll be a monster in your eyes
I'll be a monster in your eyes

Please, be not afeard
By this isle's sounds in your ears
When I have waked, after a long sleep
The clouds I was dreaming
I cry to dream of again

Lord o' mine for so long
now comes the time to regain my land

And Miranda will see
All my sacrifice, will be worth the price
Forever I'll say
My stolen paradise
Will be worth the price
And no longer I'll be a monster in her eyes
I'll be a monster in her eyes
I'm just a monster in her eyes


9. Weakness Of A Man

By the shore, on an island
I can hear, our sea of sorrow
With no harm with no disgrace
I am planting the seeds of tomorrow

In my circle I will reign
I was left behind betrayed
Oh yeah!

Dark backward, abyss of time
Right in front of my eyes
Evil nature destroyed my trust
All their scheming will end up as dust

In my circle I will reign
I will rise against my enemies

Now come away to your master
Bring through the air all your magic

I'll bless and curse you till the end
Set your whole self aflame

Foolish visions in my angry dreams
Bringing vengeance to my shore
Now my wisdom shows a different scene
There is not love for us all

All this time my mind was in the past
Furious footprints in this sand
Now living has revealed at last
All the weakness of a man

Turbulent tides
All the waters seem so rough
Keep your faith because the calm will return

I've been longing for this tide to turn
Bringing vengeance to my shore
Time has passed and this is what I've learned
There is not love for us all

All this time my mind was in the past
Angry footprints in this sand
Now living has revealed at last
All the weakness of a man


10. Ashes

Our revels now are ended
We were actors?
We were spirits?
Melted into air
Now I lift my spell

Forgiveness I embrace
Heaven sent hell away
All my life
As a dream
With open eyes
I'll restart

I was blind and deaf
Until the day of wakening came
I had faith in evil
In his palace of no blame
All this world around me
I created on my own
And now it's time
To free this island and be gone

All my life like ashes in my hand
I'll forgive and prosper 'till the end
The magic of stars now filling my heart
Like a blaze

Time, now it's time!
Feels like ashes all my life!
I'll restart

I was blind and deaf
Until the day of wakening came
I had faith in evil
In his palace of no blame
All this world around me
I created on my own
And now it's time
To free this island and be gone

Lie at mercy all my enemies
I'll forgive and leave across the sea
We are such a stuff as dreams are made on
Set me free
I'll carry on! Carry on!
This end is my start
We are such a stuff as dreams are made on
And I'm gone
