Memories

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:12:41 GMT

Memories

In this world you tried

Not leaving me alone behind

There's no other way

I prayed to the gods let him stay

The memories ease the pain inside

Now I know why

Refrain

All my memories keep you near,

In silent moments imagine you here

All my memories keep you near

Your silent whispers, silent ears

Made me promise I'd try

To find my way back in this life

I hope there is a way

To give me a sign you're ok

Reminds me again it's worth it all

So I can ...

Apya — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 23:49:29 GMT

If you're drowning in your life.

The're swallowing youre time.

There's something on your mind.

Time when time is on your side.

I'm bored wasting my time.

I know you fake your pride.

You, you always make me try.

to swallow all my pride.

It doesn't make it easier.

time when time is on youre side.

There's something on your mind.

It doesn't make it clearer.

When your down.

You're feeling down and out.

It hurts the way you shout.

It doesn't make it easier.

Overcome

Ashes — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 16:13:02 GMT

Overcome

Where are the heroes

I my time of need

Is my crying abandoned ?

Or have they gone

Oh no

They just tend to stand

Out of the rain

Thinking but not acting

That they're not to blame

Falling and crawling

A fight to stand up

Memory still haunts me

In the dead of night

Over and over

I felt so small

But one day I'll be stronger

And you better watch out

I will overcome

In violence there's silence

Oh no,

It can't be undone

I will overcome

Knowing ...

Pale

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:10:13 GMT

Pale

The world seems not the same

Though I know nothing has changed

It's all my state of mind

I can't leave it all behind

I have stand up to be stronger

Refrain

I have to try to break free

From the thoughts in my mind

Use the time that I have

I can't say goodbye

Have to make it right

Have to fight, cause I know

In the end it's worthwhile

That the pain that I feel slowly fades away

It will be alright

I know, should realise

Time is precious it is worthwhile

Despite ...

The Swan Song

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:17:23 GMT

The Swan Song

Winter has come for me, can't carry on.

The chains to my life are strong but soon they'll be gone.

I'll spread my wings one more time.

Is it a dream ?

All the ones I have loved calling out my name.

The sun warms my face.

All the days of my life, I see them passing me by.

In my heart I know I can let go.

In the emd I will find some peace inside.

New wings are growing tonight.

Is it a dream ?

All the ones I have loved calling out my name.

In perfect Harmony

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 08:25:58 GMT

IN PERFECT HARMONY

In a world so far away

At the end of a closing day

A little child was born and raised

Deep in the forest on a hidden place

Mother never saw his face

Ancient spirits of the forest

Made him king of elves and trees

He was the only human being

Who lived in harmony

In perfect harmony

Ancient spirits of the forest

Made him king of elves and trees

He was the only human being

Who lived in harmony

In perfect harmony

The woods protected, ...

Bittersweet

Ashes — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 16:16:39 GMT

Encore un titre bonus de l'album.... :p

Bittersweet

If I tell you

Will you listen ?

Will you stay ?

Will you be here forever ?

Never go away ?

Never thought things would change

Hold me tight

Please don't say again

That you have to go

A bitter thought

I had it all

But I just let it go

Hold your silence

It's so violent

Since your gone

All my thoughts are with you forever

Until the day we'll be back together

I will be waiting ...

Somewhere

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:15:35 GMT

Somewhere

Lost in the darkness, hoping for a sign.

Instead there's only silence.

Can't you hear my screams.

Never stop hoping.

Need to know where you are.

But one thing's for sure, you're always in my heart.

Refrain

I'll find you somewhere.

I'll keep on trying until my dying day.

I just need know whatever has happened.

The truth will free my soul.

Lost in the darkness, try to find your way home.

I want to embrace you, and never let you go.

Almost hope you're ...

Caged

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 08:19:34 GMT

CAGED

These are the darkest clouds

To have surrounded me

Now I find my self alone caught in a cage

There's no flower to be found in here

Not withering

Or pale to me

Everyone with a friendly face

Seems to hide some secret inside

He told me he loved me

While he laughed in my face

He just led me astray

He took my virtue

I feel so cold inside

Sorrow has frozen my mind

My heart is covered

With thoughts entangled

How could it ever have felt so real ?

Is ...

Candles

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:00:23 GMT

CANDLES

Take away

These hands of darkness

Reaching for my soul

Now, the cold wind

Blows out my candles

Feeling

Only fear

Without any hope

A thousand dark moons

A thousand winters long

A million fallen stars

The candle burns in the womb

We try not to forget

They live through us

Slowly they die away at every candle's end

A thousand dark moons

A thousand winters long

A million fallen stars

The candle burns in the womb

We try not to forget

They ...

Deceeiver of fools

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 08:22:17 GMT

DECEIVER OF FOOLS

He told the tale so many times

About the dream not meant to be

In a world of the free

He plays with your mind

As faith for the future faded fast

He grows strong with their displeasure

It sets him free

Deceiver of hearts

Deceiver of fools

He rules with fear

Deceiver of hearts

Deceiver of fools

He rules again

He feeds on fear

Poisons the truth

To gain their faith

To lead the way

To a world of decay

He rules your heart

He ...

Say My Name

Ashes — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 16:19:49 GMT

Say My Name

Say my name

So I will know you're back you're here again

For a while

Oh let us share

The memories that only we can share

Together

Tell me about

The days before I was born

How we were as children

You touch my hand

These colors come alive

In your heart and in your mind

I cross the borders of time

Leaving today behind to be with you again

We breath the air

Do you remember how you used to touch my hair ?

You're not aware

Your hands keep ...

Towards The End

Ashes — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 16:18:28 GMT

Towards The End

The turn against

The world we know

Now our destiny

Will be decided

We have to send our brothers in arms

With pain in our heart

We watched them go

Will they return ?

Truth is we had no choice

We'll try to shield those we can

No better world

Let this end

Mothers cry

Our boys die

But we'll stand 'till the end

World Of Make Believe

Ashes — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 16:06:23 GMT

J'ai vu qu'il manquait cette chanson l� alors je rajoute..... je sais que c'est une chanson bonus mais quand m�me.... :p

World Of Make Believe

On golden wings

She flies at night

With her dress

It's blinding white

Countless diamonds

And her long blonde hair

The queen is coming

So you better be aware

Her plums and flowers

They're never the same

Blue and silver

It's all her game

Flying dragons

And enchanted woods

She decides, she creates

It's her reality

In ...

Restless

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 16:54:36 GMT

RESTLESS

She embraced, with a smile

As she opened the door

A cold wind blows, it puts a chill into her heart

You have taken away the trust

You're the ghost haunting through her heart

Past and present are one in her head

You're the ghost haunting through her heart

Take my hand as I wander through

All of my life I gave to you

Take my hand as I wander through

All of my love I gave to you

You have taken away the trust

You're the ghost haunting through her ...

Running Up That Hill

Hollownight Dream — Thu, 09 Mar 2006 13:44:30 GMT

Running Up That Hill (a deal with god)

It doesn't hurt me

Do you want feel how it fells

Do you want to know: know that

It doesn't hurt me

Do you want to hear 'bout the deal

That I'm making

You and me

And if I only could

I'd make a deal with God

And I'd get him to swap our places

Be running up that road

Be running up that hill

Be running up that building

If I only could oh...

You don't want to hurt me

But see how deep the bullet lies

Unaware I'm tearng ...

Jane Doe (UK version)

Apoteose — Wed, 21 Sep 2005 14:00:37 GMT

Jane Doe

Run away, hide away

the secrets in your mind

Sacrificed just her life

for a higher love

No matter how many stones you put inside

She always keeps on floating in your mind

With every turn of your head you see her face again

until the end, over and over again

Why, you just won't leave my mind

Was this the only way

I couldn't let you stay

Told the truth she laughed at you

Something snapped inside

She had to go or they would know

all you tried ...

Destroyed ( UK version )

Apoteose — Wed, 21 Sep 2005 13:58:35 GMT

Destroyed

I did my best to please you

But my best was never good enough

Somehow you're only able to see

All I am not

Did you ever look behind

Aren't you afraid of the pieces you'll find

I have failed you

But you have failed me too

It's so easy to destroy and condemn

The ones you do not understand

Do you ever wonder if it's justified

It's so easy to destroy and condemn

The ones you do not understand

In your life why didn't you ever try

I close my ...

A dangerous Mind

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:16:32 GMT

A Dangerous Mind

I'm searching for answers

Cause something is not right

I follow the signs

I'm close to the fire

I fear that soon you'll reveal

Your dangerous mind

It's your eyes, what's on your mind

I fear your smile and the promise inside

It's your eyes, what's on your mind

I fear your presence, I'm frozen inside

I'm searching for answers

Not questionned before

The curse of awareness,

There's no peace of mind

As your true colours show

A dangerous ...

It's the fear

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:14:22 GMT

It's The Fear

It waits for the day

I will let it out

To give it a reason

To give it its mind

I fear who I am becoming

I fear that I'm loosing the struggle within

I can no longer restrain me

My strength it is fading, I have to give in

It's the fear

Fear of the dark, it's growing inside of me

That one day will come to life

(Have to save) to save my beloved, there is no escape

Because my faith is horror and doom

Hold down your head now

Just let me pass by

Don't ...

Aquarius

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:13:37 GMT

Aquarius

I hear your whispers

break the silence and it calms me down.

Your taste on my lips,

your salty kisses.

They say I'm seeking out the danger.

That one day you won't let me go,

(I'll drown, you'll take me down.)

I need you Aquarius,

enchanted I will have to stay.

I feel you Aquarius,

cause you the sea set me free.

You call to me Aquarius.

(You call to me, you set me free)

I relinquish to your powers.

From your grasp, I just can't hide.

Missed ...

Angels

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:11:52 GMT

Angels

Sparkling angel I believed

you were my saviour in my time of need.

Blinded by faith I couldn’t hear

all the whispers, the warnings so clear.

I see the angels,

I'll lead them to your door.

There's no escape now,

no mercy no more.

No remorse cause I still remember

the smile when you tore me apart.

Chorus:

You took my heart,

Deceived me right from the start.

You showed me dreams,

I wished they would turn into real.

You broke the promise and made me ...

Forsaken

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:11:11 GMT

Forsaken

Now the day has come

We are forsaken this time

We lived our lives in our paradise,

As gods we shaped the world around

No borderlines we'd stay behind,

Though balance is something fragile

While we thought we were gaining,

We would turn back the tide, it still lsips away

Our time has run out, our future has died,

There's no more escape

Now the day has come,

We are forsaken,

There's no time anymore

Life will pass us by,

We are forsaken,

We're ...

Stand My Ground

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:09:25 GMT

Stand My Ground

I can see

when you stay low nothing happens.

Does it feel right ?

Late at night

things I thought I put behind me

haunt my mind.

I just know there's no escape now

once it sets its eyes on you.

But I won't run, have to stare it in the eye.

Chorus:

Stand my ground, I won't give in.

No more denying, I've got to face it.

Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside.

If I don't make it,

someone else will stand my ground.

It's all around, ...

Jillian ( I'd Give My Heart)

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:08:33 GMT

Jillian (I�d Give My Heart)

I've been dreaming for so long,

to find a meaning to understand.

The secret of life,

why am I here to try again ?

Will I always, will you always

see the truth when it stares you in the face ?

Will I ever, will I never free myself

by breaking these chains ?

[refrain]

I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.

I'd turn it back, it's my fault.

Your destiny is forlorn,

have to live till it's undone.

I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.

I'd ...

See Who I Am

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:07:30 GMT

See Who I Am

Is it true what they say,

are we too blind to find a way ?

Fear of the unknown clouds our hearts today.

Come into my world,

see through my eyes.

Try to understand,

don't want to lose what we have.

We've been dreaming

but who can't deny,

it's the best way of living

between the truth and the lies.

[refrain]

See who I am,

break through the surface.

Reach for my hand,

And show them that we can

free our minds and find a way.

The world is in ...

The Other Half (Of Me)

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:06:11 GMT

The Other Half (Of Me)

Over the hills, lies a new beginning

Over the hills

Over the hills, there is a way I know it

Over the hills

You can't bring all the gloom

Your heart is frayed and so empty

You glorify the future

Living in a different world than me

The journey ends in death

You are giving up so easily

You are the other half of me

Over the hills

We are drifting apart

Chilled to the marrow, cause you don't want to go

Cause we've got a different ...

Another Day

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:05:15 GMT

Another Day

I know you're going away

I take my love into another day

In my thoughts you're with me

I fell in love with your ways

I know you're going away

Lead my heart into a daze

I know you're going away

Leaves a void in my heart and soul

Wherever you are

Whatever you do

I feel the walls surrounding you

Wherever you are

Whatever you do

I know you are independent

But I'm trying to get through you to you

Wherever you are

Whatever you do

Don't ...

The Dance

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:04:21 GMT

The Dance

Someone is dancing on my grave

Sending shivers down my spine.

I hear a laugh, it awoke my soul

The wind takes the leaves where he

Wants them to go

His tunes enchant our world,

Our thoughts and leaves us frozen

In this heart of mine

It's you I find

Take my hand

I'll take you to the promised land

You're the one

I hear a laugh, it awoke my soul

The wind takes the leaves where he

Wants them to go

His tunes enchant our world,

Our thoughts and ...

Grace

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 16:59:44 GMT

GRACE

Cold are the bones of thy soldiers

Longing for home, their little paradise

I don't feel redemption on their side

Fallen from grace, help me rise again

Fallen from grace, help me through

Fallen from grace, help me through

Fallen from grace

Feel these hands, the pressure, the cold, tremble

Do you hear these words

Do you feel the wounds

I'll never help you through

Cold are thy souls

I feel resentment

They feel betrayed

They hate the cold

I don't ...

The Gatekeeper

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 16:59:02 GMT

THE GATEKEEPER

The shadows of the night

Are unleashed again

Where their greed begins

The end is near

A morbid hunger for blood

Lies in their cold black eyes

They've come to take our lifes away

One by one they died

A massacre that took all night

They had no chance, it was no fight

You can't kill what has been killed before

They died...

With shadows on its tale

He stepped through the portal

Locked the door and ate the key

With his life they took their ...

Deep Within

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 16:58:17 GMT

DEEP WITHIN

Is there a place deep within

A place where you hide your darkest sins

There's a strange kind of ambiance

It's surrounding you

As a songstress you lure me

Towards the truth

Candles die down as you leave the room

In my heart you leave no gloom

As you lure me I know the truth

You're a leprechaun, I see you through

Is there a place deep within

A place where you hide your darkest sins

There's a strange kind of ambiance

It's surrounding you

As a ...

Pearls of Light

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 16:56:27 GMT

PEARLS OF LIGHT

After the cold darkness

In the heart of the forest

Where birds are singing

For the newborn sun

In the womb of the leaves

On the branches of the trees

Lies the treasure of the morning

The pearls of light

Carried away by the traculence of my world

I got lost in the search for enlightment

The blue rain

Covered my roots

And I forgot where I came from

Enter

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 16:55:26 GMT

ENTER

The gates of time have opened

Now, its chains are broken

An ancient force unleashed again

As I enter the portal

I feel the enchantment

It takes me away, away from here

Come near me

Enter my private chambers

I want to feel the warmth on my face

Light-in darkness

Lift me up from here

Give me your wings

To flee from my ivory tower

As I enter the portal

I feel the enchantment

The stars above are lying at my feet

Come near me

Enter my private ...

Dark Wings

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 08:24:53 GMT

DARK WINGS

Why was I one of the chosen ones ?

Until the fight I could not see

The magic and the strength of my power

It was beyond my wildest dreams

Dark wings they are descending

See shadows gathering around

One by one they are falling

Every time they try to strike us down

Don't you die on me

You haven't made your peace

Live life, breathe, breathe

Don't you die on me

You haven't made your peace

Live life, breathe, breathe

Dark wings they are descending

See ...

Never ending story

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 08:21:24 GMT

NEVER-ENDING STORY

Armies have conquered

And fallen in the end

Kingdoms have risen

Then buried by sand

The Earth is our mother

She gives and she takes

She puts us to sleep

In her light we'll awake

We'll all be forgotten

There's no endless fame

But everything we do

Is never in vain

We're part of a story, part of a tale

We're all on this journey

No one is to stay

Where ever it's going

What is the way ?

Forests and deserts

Rivers, blue seas

Mountains ...

The Promise

Apoteose — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 08:20:25 GMT

THE PROMISE

On behalf of her love

She no longer sleeps

Life no longer had meaning

Nothing to make her stay

She sold her soul away

I held you tight to me

But you slipped away

You promised to return to me

And I believed, I believed

After the night he died

I wept my tears until they dried

But the pain stayed the same

I didn't want him to die all in vain

I made a promise to revenge his soul in time

I'll make them bleed at my feet

I held you tight to ...

Our Farewell

Apoteose — Sun, 18 Sep 2005 19:32:17 GMT

[u]OUR FAREWELL[/u]

In my hands

A legacy of memories

I can hear you say my name

I can almost see your smile

Feel the warmth of your embrace

But there is nothing but silence now

Around the one I loved

Is this our farewell ?

Sweet darling you worry too much, my child

See the sadness in your eyes

You are not alone in life

Although you might think that you are

Never thought

This day would come so soon

We had no time to say goodbye

How can the world just ...

Ice Queen

Apoteose — Sun, 18 Sep 2005 19:29:35 GMT

ICE QUEEN

When leaves have fallen

And skies turned into grey

The night keeps on closing in on the day

A nightingale sings his song of farewell

You better hide for her freezing hell

On cold wings she's coming

You better keep moving

For warmth, you'll be longing

Come on just feel it

Don't you see it ?

You better believe it

When she embraces

Your heart turns to stone

She comes at night when you are all alone

And when she whispers

Your blood shall run cold

You ...

Mother Earth

Apoteose — Sun, 18 Sep 2005 19:27:22 GMT

MOTHER EARTH

Birds and butterflies

Rivers and mountains she creates

But you'll never know

The next move she'll make

You can try

But it is useless to ask why

Cannot control her

She goes her own way

She rules until the end of time

She gives and she takes

She rules until the end of time

She goes her own way

With every breath

And all the choices that we make

We are only passing through on her way

I find my strength

Believing that your soul lives on

Until ...
