[Verse]
Two souls, lined in gold, appearing from the grey
Two souls from days of old standing before me
Cast back into the past, it’s my own history
Cast back to days of old filled with prosperity
[Chorus]
Visions from the faded years returning
Through the incorporeal fog I peer
Visions from the faded years before me
Arise, arise and reappear
[Verse]
Two hands, tightly grasp in a powerful embrace
Two hands locked and clasped, they lead the way
Walk forth, through heaven and hell, through high water and low
Walk forth, unified, onwards they go
(Build up)
Here comes the shadow, bringer of death
[Bridge]
Death came, death claimed, taker of souls
Distraught, destroyed, dethroned, alone
[Verse]
One soul, left alone, the golden light now fades
One soul, on his own, facing coming days
The end, came so swift in a single twist of fate
The end came for one, taken from this place
[Outro]
Visions from the faded years
Images of yesterday

The March Of Time
04:41
|
|||
[Verse]
Time will last forever but your life will not
You get what you're granted, when it’s gone it's gone for good
[Pre-Chorus]
March forth
Always pushing forwards
March forth
Never turning back
[Chorus]
Close your eyes and it is gone
The unceasing march of time moves on
No matter how strong your grasp
The sands of time will escape your hands
[Verse]
Time can not be reversed, your time cannot be saved
What's done is done, what's gone is gone for good
[Bridge]
You'll never know when the end is coming
You'll never know if it's your final day
Each breath you take could be the last one before your breath is taken away
You'll never know when your death is coming
You'll never know if it’s your final day
Each step you take could be the last one before your path disintegrates
(Outro)
March

Immortalised In Death
06:18
|
|||
[Intro - Spoken Word]
My eyes, they are forever sealed
But I can still can see your agonising pain
Yes, tomorrow my body shall be gone,
But so much more will remain
My heart it has stopped beating
And there is not a single breath left within my chest
But if you remember me as the man that I became
I will be immortalised In death
[Verse]
Upon the pure white silk your body lays
Between these wooden walls you are encased
[Chorus]
You are immortalised, your image is frozen in time
You are immortalised, encapsulated in your prime
In death, immortalised
[Verse]
This tranquil majesty lays before me
Your visage is serene, resting at ease
[Bridge]
The room is cold, the air is thin
The silent walls you sleep within
The candle burns, it casts a light
Upon the sheets; the veil of white
I lay my hands upon your chest
Your golden heart is now at rest
With one last glance I close the door
This scene will burn forevermore
[Outro - Spoken Word]
A life is not measured by age
But by the memories that are made
If you leave a lasting impression on those around you
You shall be immortalised In death.

Guidance
06:10
|
|||
[Chorus]
I see the signs, they lead the way
I walk this path, this path you lay
[Verse]
I can hear your voice like whispers in the wind
Warning me of danger, keeping me from sin
[Verse]
I can feel your hand, the ethereal caress
Leading me from danger, turning from distress
[Bridge]
Lead me from temptation
Keep me from the cold
Lead me from corruption
Keep me upon this path of gold
[Bridge 2]
Follow the sacred ghost of old
Keep me upon this path of gold
[Outro]
I will hear your wisdom
It will keep me upon this path of gold
I will follow your guidance
It will keep me upon the path of gold

My Ashes Will Remain
05:21
|
|||
[Chorus]
My ashes will remain
[Verse]
I lay upon the mound, my funeral pyre
Awaiting the flames I lay in silence
I hear the striking sound, now it all ignites
Awaiting the end I lay surrounded
[Verse]
The twisting tendrils weave, lashing at my skin
My bodily flesh is taken away
I'm engulfed by fire, my resting shell, it burns
My bodily flesh is turned to ash
[Bridge]
I no longer stand upon this earth, my body is no more
My ashes hold the memories of my time before
[Bridge 2]
The body is merely a vessel for the soul
That we abandon and nature takes home
[Bridge]
I no longer stand upon this earth, my soul is gone
My ashes hold the memories, I have moved on
[Outro]
Bury my ashes, below the ground
Carve my name into the stone
At this grave lays my remains
But my soul, it has flown

Alone I Fly
08:18
|
|||
[Verse]
Wracked with agony and disbelief
I must embark on my journey home
Under the moon, under the stars
I drift into the night alone
Swarmed with questions that come to me
So many thoughts overflow my mind
I cannot blink, I cannot sleep
I cannot shut my weary eyes
[Chorus]
Into the sky
Alone I fly
(Post - Chorus)
Above the mountains, above the trees
Above the clouds, above the sea
Towards the meadows, towards the fields
towards our home where your fate was sealed
[Bridge]
Where have you gone?
I am coming to find you
Where are you now?
Brother, I'm coming home
[Bridge 2]
Brother, I will search until the end
[Verse]
Each minute feels like hours
And each hour feels like days
Down goes the moon, up comes the sun
I watch the time slowly tick away
I approach my destination
I return to where it all began
Where we were born, where we did grow
The place we call our homeland

Drowning Reality
05:02
|
|||
(Verse)
The sun burns my skin
Shadows are cast within
Twisted thoughts are reborn
The unhallowed light of dawn
(Chorus)
Will this torture ever end?
I drown reality again
(Verse)
I reach for the cure
That I crave ever more
Sanctuary, sweet to taste
My ghosts are washed away
(Bridge)
Drown
Sink below, become senseless
Drown
Feel numb, become lifeless
Drown
Sink below, become senseless
Drown
Turn blind, become mindless

Vigils
07:14
|

[Intro]
“Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”
-Terry Pratchett-
[Verse]
Endless crowds in nightfalls majesty
Congregate in a time of tragedy
[Pre-Chorus]
To reminisce in memoriam
[Chorus]
Gathered mass of remembrance
Standing in the shroud of night
Invoking the essence
Spirits shining bright within the candlelight
[Verse]
Heads held low, solemn decency
Vibrant words and cherished memories
[Pre-Chorus]
To recollect in memoriam
[Bridge]
Let them burn!
The sea of candles are lit now, their luminance is shed
A vigil in memoriam to respect and revere the dead
[Verse]
Mourning souls exorcise their agony
Seeking solace in their unity
[Pre-Chorus]
To reconnect in memoriam
(Outro break)
We are gathered here today in remembrance of a father, brother and son
(Outro)
May he rest in peace
