AXENSTAR LYRICS

1. The Descending

[M and L: M. Winterwild]

[Instrumental]

2. Infernal Angel

[M and L: T. Eriksson]

Born from the sun in an unholy bond
Between night and the day the creator has failed
Blessed by the light and cursed by the dark
This unification will soon leave it's mark

Banished from heaven and cast down to hell
Where the souls of the damned forever shall dwell
Baptized in blood and forge in the fire
Leading the way to the funeral pyre

[BRIDGE]
Her beauty withered away, revealed a smile of decay
A thousand screams of the unborn children remains

[CHORUS]
She came from the stars angel from far beyond
A creature without control, spewing her death upon us all
See, she spreads her wings turning the sky to black
Resistance is overthrown there's no turning back

3. Blind Leading The Blind

[M and L: T. Eriksson]

In empty words the truth is spoken
Caught in a web of lies the silence is broken
Believing all just take it for granted
Deep down within your mind the seeds they have planted

[BRIDGE]
You live your life but you cannot see, cannot change, cannot believe
How can I explain to you these thoughts you have to gain
Trying to be free but you are forced to live a life in misery
Now tell me who are we to blame

[CHORUS]
It's the blind leading the blind
Twisting our minds won't be the ones that are left behind
Through all lies I see our demise
Waiting in lime till I'm blind leading the blind

Break free from your lives as minions
Experience the thrill to have your own thoughts and opinions
Until the day you're liberated
You're a slave to this curse the masters have dictated

To lead or to be lead which path do you tread
The will to rise above must be alive
Choices that we make, promises we break
These are the secrets... of a life

4. Don't Hide Your Eyes

[M: T. Eriksson, L: P. Johansson]

[CHORUS]
Don't hide your eyes from the mystical lies
Don't run away when it's better to stay
Keep on your fight don't stop until it's right
Dreams are never die so don't hide your eyes

Can we answers the questions of a child
Can we somehow explain why the freedom is no wild
Can we only dream in black and white
Can't turn our backs against this fight

[BRIDGE]
We must learn the golden rule
Not see through the eyes of the fool

So many times you've said "don't you worry"
But the nightmare is back you should be sorry
In the nightmare it seems you're sleeping well
But outside your door there are millions who live in hell

Life's just a great mystery
Don't forget your own history
Why can't we just understand
No one there to take your hand

5. Far From Heaven

[M: T. Eriksson, L: P. Johansson]

You have shown me the stars tonight
Yet I can still see shadows in the light
Dimensions of time are hidden in the sky
The stars are falling I'm always wondering why

The wind of ice has embraced my soul
Before you I will never fall
I can take you through the pain and sadness
As we're running from rage and madness

[BRIDGE]
Beyond the sky in the dead of the night
Candles are burning, stars of returning
Lightning strikes again

[CHORUS]
Now I am far from heaven far from the light
Sent from the darkest lands death on black wings
Found my heaven deep in the night
Riding through the clouds to the sleeping kings

How many seasons can I gather in my land
I come from hell with might in my hand
But I will my poisoned tears ever bleed at all for you
My journey from heaven to hell is true

Now the time has come for you to fall
In the end you won't see me at all
Alone in this cold world we'll be
Fighting me as I was your own enemy

6. Abandoned

[M and L: T. Eriksson]

I gaze at the moon and it's staring back at me
I wonder if she could ever feel the pain I feel
Alone now I stand, is this the beginning of the end
I'm not quite so sure what all this sorrow was meant for

[BRIDGE]
All on my own the reaper has come to take you away
In sickness and health, the grief that I felt, I want you to know

Consumed by the pain
I'm felt here standing in the rain (by your grave)
Betrayed by our fate all that's left in me is hate
Now it seems to me, our lives a fading memory
I no longer know the reason for me to live on

[CHORUS]
Longing for that knock on the door
Longing for that knock on the door

7. Children Forlorn

[M and L: T. Eriksson]

Welcome to this tortured place of life
Where the truth is locked behind the doors and swept aside
We are the ones that are born to face this hell
What will become of our future, only time will tell

[BRIDGE]
Lost all control since the sacred times of old
They believe in what they preach but we're out of reach

[CHORUS]
We are the children forlorn
Nobody cares 'bout the scorn
We live and bleed, we die in need
We are the children forlorn

Our lives been beaten down with time
If you could look into our future emptiness you'd find
Another day, another soul astray
We always seem to wonder "is this the only way?"

There will come a day when all the fools will sail away
All the promises they made to you are swept away
And when the smoke has cleared and you see us standing there
You will never be in chains again, yeath

8. Death Denied

[M and L: T. Eriksson]

Our lives are taken too much for granted
And it seem we've lost the answers
The wheel of life, we live then die
But now I'm trapped between the oceans
And I'm losing all emotions
The future is calling but I'm not there to listen

[BRIDGE]
Seconds, years or days to me it's all the same
A hollow shell that once was me, my only legacy

[CHORUS]
Dying inside I can't break through the ice
Life applied, Death denied
Fading away I pray for sweet demise
Wait for the last goodbye, let me die

Tied to machines that keep me from leaving
In my heart I'm begging and pleading
Release me from this hell that I'm in
I want to close the final chapter
And face whatever's after
And maybe that I will finally be free

[BRIDGE]
Years they pass me by but still I can't rely
In death to bring me peace from here to eternity

9. Blackout

[M and L: T. Eriksson]

What would you say if I threw it all away
The life that I lead could it be more surreal

[BRIDGE]
Searching in my mind in the order to find some sense of reality
I fear that I am beginning to lose what's left of my sanity

Awake again full of bloodstains on my hands
I wonder where I have been whose death I have foreseen

Breaking my will with the purpose to kill all shreds of humanity
To lose the control of body and soul is my main anxiety

[CHORUS]
Something's coming over me my reality slowly slipping away
I just can't remember but can't seem to forget
Who I am blacked out again

Can't longer say what is real and what is a dream
The demon is rising up from far deep down within

I have fallen into the depths of sin
Where the humanity ends and pain begins
Breaking free from this torment I must do
If I told you my secret, oh would you believe it's true

10. Northern Sky

[M and L: M. Winterwild]

I walk in the moonlight far away from the cities roaring sounds
A walk in silence underneath the starlit sky
The glorious landscape that opens up right before my eyes
The hills and the valleys there's nothing more beautiful

[BRIDGE]
Here the wind of freedom calls
Please take me there

The north wind is blowing all the way everywhere I go
Trough the season of my life, on this my last journey
The daylight is fading in my dreams the angels call my name
They lead me to my own land, don't let this dream ever end

[CHORUS]
Oh Northern sky
Guide me on my way home
Oh Northern sky
Yo are my haven

The rain and thunder came crashing down from heaven
Storm winds are blowing like hurricanes of madness
Earthquakes are shaking the core of the planet
Volcanoes erupting and fire spreads across the sky
