Why 05:01
Why do I fall When the wheels spin on my whim Shallow as the graves roll by Into my eternal sin I let the darkness take her hold Instead of letting it fly by Trapped in circles of regret Devastation till I die Why? When I never seen my lonely grave For the time was never right So today I will never fall I will see it through the insanity which has forsaken you When I see it through The light begins to shine Another place another time Where I'm free to lie So why I choose to fall I never know for sure Just afraid to become one Myself a blackened sun

I awoke that day the snow fresh upon my face the stories told of a creature fair our mountain side was her noble lair we ventured on into the wood the blizzard heavy against our foot until at last the beast was found her piercing gaze, and her silent sound there we stood alone my iron ball it pierced her bones and there she lay forever cursed that day Then I woke again inside the throne deciding to journey on alone the creatures hunted one by one their anger fueled by their dying sun there they chased me to the peak relentless fury buried deep spread my arms wished to die fell back against the sky when i came too,my body seared from the fall i had an urge, the faintest call i wandered round the base, the only place i ever known searching for my solitude, looking for my home "then i looked around my home could not be found replaced by the towers of humanity the plague grows from the mountains feet the fear inside of me grew deep and so i ran and so i ran" there i spread my arms let the wings unfold there i flew there i became..

Magic Spell 03:33
Upon this Cursed grave we fall Forever void of light Our loved ones die never reborn So is our endless plight For we're never free forever We only see whats now It's only in our minds we ponder A lovely place anew The mortal ones must fall Where eternal beings live Forever they are with their love Forever with their kin But we are the chosen ones For we fail to see The Endless pain which banish them From the mind to see Release the light Find what is right Never can tell This magic Spell

Over these roads I wander Approaching faster as I see And when you take me over You never believe in me It was just a Dream A foolish one it seems ... ... But these dreams They aren't just a memory In the black holes in my eyes Is where they choose, to reside There they see, There they run There they feed, on the sun There they live, there they play There they choose to hide away But I... Say... Goodbye... Goodbye... When I'm Around You never see..
