Our Poets will curse their own kingdoms, and time will demolish our shame. The Ages will spit on our faces, and songs will forget our true name. Down there, on the tombs of our fathers, the light of tomorrow will write a truth that has never been written, and then may our passions ignite. And now you will tell me your stories, of failures I'll surely deny. The sequence that starts Armageddon, cockroaches and monuments wave us Goodbye. To Hell with the dreams of our childhood, we never looked straight in the fire, our ships never left for new planets, our hearts never spoke of desire. Down there, on the tombs of our fathers, will blow but a breeze of despair, the desert will welcome it's laughter, and then we will know who we were. And now you will tell me your stories, of failures I'll surely deny. The sequence that starts Armageddon, cockroaches and monuments wave us Goodbye.

Come see how the mighty have fallen, the heroes I dreamt as a child could not slay mechanical dragons and bullets were hard to come by. Come see how the mighty have fallen. Come drink to the glory of Nations through our own inaction undone. The errors of past generations the errors of men yet to come. Come drink to the glory of Nations. The Truth that the mirror distorts and madmen emblaze on their scars, I took as my banner of light Sewn together with blood and the fabric of stars. Let's witness the downfall of Legends Let's drown our beliefs in the sea, and dance through the flames of our making not knowing the Men we could be. LET'S LIVE THROUGH OUR DOWNFALL LIKE LEGENDS! The Truth that the mirror distorts and madmen emblaze on their scars, I took as my banner of light Sewn together with blood and the fabric of stars.

We Made You 04:45
There were dreams to be had and heights to be reached New ideals to be born in your mind. There were seas to be crossed and walls to be sieged Yet you chose this and left them behind. In the cities of light that we built in ourselves who will rule as benevolent kings? There were flames to be fed with the passions of men used as beacons to guide from afar. There were breezes and shades and countless cascades Yet we made you the way that you are. In the cities of light that we built in ourselves who will rule as benevolent kings? Once you plugged-in your soul to a digital screen So what use would you have for such things? There were lands to be born by the blood of the saints made immortal in verses and rhymes. In an ancient glade there was love to be made Yet we made you a man of your times.

Sinbad 03:52
The light caressed our features and blessed by benevolent creatures we fantasised gold in the distance and on we rode. Soon truth would creep up behind us and forge all these sackles that bind us for such is the way of existence most of the times. Trust in me there are cities of gold, you'll see I wish I could say there was some other way but these lies are all I have left. And did you know, there are oceans of light where we go? I wish I could say there was some other way but these lies now are all that I am. My empty words compel you the lies I've been meaning to tell you, we watched them come true together one by one. Once I'd thrive inside you the seas that I crossed just to find you we watched time transform them to deserts, mile after mile. Our hungry eyes will devour the lies of this desperate hour but bring me truth, bring me honour and watch me dissolve. So let the light be your banner and hold up your head in a manner that lets the rain wash you clean of my misdeeds. My empty words compel you the lies I've been meaning to tell you, we watched them come true together one by one. Once I'd thrive inside you the seas that I crossed just to find you we watched time transform them to deserts, mile after mile.

Tell me, How the dream expires, Crushed by the weight of the world. Show me, All your fears and desires and how will this torment unfold. Take me, where we used to try to lift ourselves up in the air. and show me, all your maps of the sky, and promise you'll fly with me there. Promises we could not keep and ancient vows we put to sleep those were the days that we swore we would live forever. Now let's bury in the ground the lies we sought , the truths we found, with empty eyes and a voice that echoes silence. Brother, Now we meet once more, to ponder the weight of our deeds. Let us, Walk again by the shore and laugh at the world as it bleeds. Listen, How the winds defy and scatter the ghosts of free men. and let go, of your maps of the sky and promise you won't try again. Promises we could not keep and ancient vows we put to sleep those were the days that we swore we would live forever. Now let's bury in the ground the lies we sought, the truths we found, with empty eyes and a voice that echoes silence.

So is this the time for redemption? Could be but, I've used up my chances. We're victims of strange circumstances, Still having eachother to blame. We're so past the point of salvation, still radiant in our former glory. Yet treading unknown territory, so close to the edge of the world. We pray for the sleepers to waken, and lie to ourselves that we're not slaves. We speak of revolt on the airwaves, and lock up our doors from the wolves. So is this the time for redemption? Could be but, I've used up my chances. We're victims of strange circumstances, Still having eachother to blame. We're heading for curious tomorrows, the arrows of time point to chaos. One last time, our natures betray us, and force us to meet eye to eye. We pray for the sleepers to waken, and lie to ourselves that we're not slaves.

Will you miss the sea when it's gone from your eyes? will you hear her silent calling? Will you come to know that utopia lies, and the spires of old are falling? There is madness here and it's bound to get worse with every hour Things we all hold dear will go down the same course from sweet to sour. So speak to me now of the power you hold over creatures of hollow laughter and nail down my hands on a cross of deceit In the here and the everafter. Will you hide the Sun in a cloud of your own twisted desires? As the rain dissolves all the truths we had known, so end our empires. Let them nail you down on a cross of deceit by your own choices. Let them make your crown be a crown of defeit and mute your voices. So speak to me now of the power you hold over creatures of hollow laughter and nail down my hands on a cross of deceit In the here and the everafter.

We play such nonsensical games you and I, we gamble with words yet our actions will justify the ineffable cold of the end and its tangible silence but at least we can still pretend. We act in this tedious play, yet we claim that we lowered our masks, still our faces remain the same, and we hold to these feelings of old as we struggle with shadows when our shadows are truths untold. Dance with me, bleed with me gaze with me through the face of the void, things we loved, gods we praised trails we blazed, and the lives we destroyed. It is all just a test of our wills, do we dare to aknowledge that time, will erase all the things we were? as we welcome the cold of the end in appropriate silence wishing that we could still pretend. Dance with me, bleed with me gaze with me through the face of the void, things we loved, gods we praised trails we blazed, and the lives we destroyed.

And so, the radiant hues of the morning will light up the faces of stone. Parading the feeble jewels that they've gathered along their torturous road. And He who offers life to this wasteland will dance with the mistress of dust a waltz of sparse and strange orchestration yet no man will be there to watch. This land, this age and its gods dissasemble the essence of heroes bygone. My lords do not mistake me for (a) craven as I mistook you for lords. And so, we've come as envoys of dreamlands across oceans of infinite time to find that Man is not to our liking yet somehow we've lost our way home. And He who offers life to this wasteland will dance with the mistress of dust a waltz of sparse and strange orchestration yet no man will be there to watch This land, this age and its gods dissasemble the essence of heroes bygone. My lords do not mistake me for (a) craven as I mistook you for lords.

Let me play you a song and maybe I'll help you remember, there was fire in your eyes on the day that we parted our ways. I don't know you anymore but your smile has the taste of December and the thorns on your crown mark the passing of hours and days. It will come back to us on some night of delirious fever how we abandoned a child on the fields of July. As we traded our lives for thirty pieces of silver in the mirror we gazed and bid our goodbye. On the fields of July, where as children we buried our treasure and the gleam of our swords, would bend the world to our will. I don't go there anymore, seems that life has denied me that pleasure, But when everything's done , will you help me remember the thrill? It will come back to us on some night of delirious fever how we abandoned a child on the fields of July. As we traded our lives for thirty pieces of silver in the mirror we gazed and bid our goodbye.
