Album lyrics:

Renegade Tribe

Abandoned by the earth we travel away
The road seems steep and winding indeed
In exile since our birth. From the first day
we never ment to be. This sorrow so deep

Look at the signs on our way
In circles we go and live our life
Will we find a home at the break of new day?
Under the sleeping eye we form the renegade tribe
Are we alone in this?

We were the same blood, until they turned away
Accusations lead to exile, we were forced to pay

repeat chorus


Warcry

Our brothers turned against us
They've lead the way to failure
Everything that matters to us
All for sale, all for sale

This all reminds us of failed conspiracy
Infiltrating has begun
We spend to much time under the eye of the enemy
There is no place on earth to run to

Decend deeper into the surface
Gather the pieces of your dignity
Let go of the hand in service
Let it hold the gun of sanity

As we run this cycle all over again, we loose the faith
And blindly point the guns, when the gun should be pointed to us
Divided we stood, and shattered we all fell down
Reborn we breath and embrace our home in hell

Descend deeper into the surface
Let go of the hand in service
Let it hold the gun of sanity

repeat bridge and chorus


GhostTide

This shore of the thousand tales
Calls out for a masquerade
The same stream that took my brother years before the rain

The tide is rising and the children aware
sleep under the stars before they're taken away

And I hear the call (of their spirits raising their voices)
And welcoming me....beneath

Let your soul go with the flow
Sleep with us don't be alone
Every burden is lighter in the sea
You gasp for air until you learn how to breath

"And now you've fallen just like your brother.
I saw your lifeless body in the shallows"

"Farewell my child, farewell the light of my life"

Farewell my child, farewell the light of my life,
the same stream took you away years after the rain

repeat bridge and chorus


Lifegriever

I have never forigiven myself and now you stand there
Stare me at my eyes and you got no words to share
and I feel your pain

Raised by an unloving father
shared your soul with the forgotten child

And you still walk around the premises
looking for the answer... what did you find

All those lies surrounded your life
and by the time you think you know the truth
You see them hanging from the ropes

Close your eyes so you can open them one more time
Was this all your life, are you satisfied?

The pages of the diary
have burned only ashes cover the floor
There is nothing to remember,
Only bad memories behind that door

"Lifegriever, or so the used to call me
I never had a chance to live a normal life"

"And I think I still feel for what they've done to me
It's closer, I can feel the blade piercing me...
I will not forgive you..."

Repeat bridge and chorus


Thy stream of Blood

At the morning seas are silent
and the trees sleep quietly
The poetry whispers shadows
fallen on me

Through the ashes flame burns free
Temptating, still rising
After light reaches this room
I see you there

Bleeding, but breathing
Gasping for words

Soon after midnight fell
I went to sleep (so I thought)
This foreverlasting guilt
Is killing me

Through the ashes flame burns free
Temptating, still rising
After light reaches this room
I see you there

repeat bridge

My love is still seeking
Your eyes so dead
Thy stream of blood still leaking
the floor's still wet

repeat chorus
repeat 1st, bridge and chorus


Sinister Romance

I saw her standing by the sea
A scarred soul, still mourning
The waves would keep her
in a cold cradle

I adored her beauty
The way she whispered my name
Devouring my passion, my flame

I let her free
She sings in the night
Gave her to the sea
She floats away under the light

At the morning I awaked her
Slowly walking towards the pier
My eyes blinded by snowfall
Wishing her well

repeat chorus

Now she sings no more
the glimpse of light in the distance
the carrying waves
Bury our sinister romance

repeat bridge and chorus
