ESQARIAL LYRICS

1. Prelude D-moll

[INSTRUMENTAL]

2. Toy Soldier

Wrong choice's been made
And I should have taken chance
Instead of being on both sides of the fence
When soaking wet I find the shelter from the rain
The victory's claimed but life is slowly draining away

Head or tails? Not a game
In this crowd you feel alone

Save your skin Pretend to win
World's just a stage that we act upon

Playing dead I cut thread
To keep me away from all the things you've said
A bigger part of wishbone's pulled
By those who always scream for more
After the whole damn trip I've drowned almost reaching the shore

Vengeance
Tastes better when served cold

Lunatic Lie in ambush
God knows I must get even with you

Fed with the promises
Honour and pride
This is your big chance my little boy
Now everything's painted black
Fetters are broken
One word never spoken
That old dog can only bark

Head or tails? Not a game
In this crowd you feel alone

Save your skin Pretend to win
World's just a stage that we act upon

Courage Is what you're made of
Now I'm weak and feel betrayed

Stabbed in the back
Toy soldier who's always been a cannon-fodder

3. Requiem

You can't escape from obtrusive thought
That you have trusted in false muse's words and every note
Now bless your chains to melt prisoner's groaning sorrow

I raised my barrow
Lonely emperor

Tuba mirum spargens sonum
Per sepulcra regionum
Coget omnes ante thronum
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla

Spark of genius
It's continuous
Struggle with the wind to kindle fire

Chill of marble
Light of a candle
Can only listen to the confession of the liar

I raised my barrow
Dying emperor
Slave of the sound
Panic in eyes
Feel of diminuendo of his short and wasted life

Clutching tight the last moment of passion
Searching for the sense that I missed
Feeling that the end is near
I cheat the hunger with the promise
That I'll satisfy it

[Lyrics by Nowak]

4. Eye Of The Cyclone

[Chorus:] Rain, in rain I feel like
I'm purified with hatred
Subconscious fears, obsessions

Lay you ear to the ground to hear the weakened pulse
Chasing with the wind you'll never know which prophet's false

This is the calm before the storm
Pray for the one drop on the dried out soil

[Chorus:] In rain I feel like
I'm purified with hatred
Subconscious fears, obsessions

The sea of my dreams has run dry
Once filled should never be touched by the time
By absorbing every movement

I create the image of a perfect world
Sky is the limit
Finally you can unfold your wings
Chorus: Rain, in rain I feel like

I'm purified with hatred
Subconscious fears, obsessions
Eye

5. El Fuego

[INSTRUMENTAL]

6. Timequake

Black sun emerged from behind the clouds
And brought anxiety to this quiet town
When cobweb sticks to shattered fragments of their dreams
Daylight exposes filth
In secret the night covers up all sins

In darkness
We cast no shadow
In loneliness
There's no one we could follow

Engineers of soul
Make you feel so small
A cog in the machine

Distrust is the only friend that helps them to survive
Behind the door that's locked up whispers, screams and fights
Their misty premonitions sowed the seed of fear
Old clock is ticking louder
Reminding us that the harvest is near

All anger washed away with the tide
I wish the time was on my side
The frozen gesture, a carving knife
In rear-view-mirror all my life

It's the timequake...

7. True Lies

All seeing eyes
Everyday
Pierce through the walls

Stream of pompous words
Empty sentences
Drown out vigilance

It's still the same sick rhythm
Makes us join parade

Buy yourself invisibility
To evade the glance

Sin of greed
Stains cleaned conscience again
In the shadow of raised hand

You are skating on thin ice
Read between the lies

Lifting the veil of secrecy
You will be consumed with anger and jealousy

Blind obedience, taken vow
Truth of unit vs truth of crowd

Come at my call
Creators of Leaders your cradle will fall

8. Sleeping In The Flame

Extremely flammable
You set your ears to the sound
That's indescribable
Like red light for the colourblind

You bribe your vanity
Thirsty curiousity
Smolders silently
Ready to explode
It's time to seize the day
Your senses are taking rest
By sleeping in the flame

Swallowed bitterness
Sinking in the nameless crowd
He never asked for forgiveness
Standing on the wrong side of the barrel
Standing on wrong side

Make God laugh by telling him about your plans

You bribe your vanity
Thirsty curiousity
Smolders silently
Ready to explode
It's time to seize the day
Your senses are taking rest
By sleeping in the flame

Extremely flammable
You set your ears to the sound
That's indescribable
Red light for the colourblind
He never asked for forgiveness
Standing on the wrong side of the barrel
Standing on wrong side

Make god laugh by telling him about your plans

9. Moonlight Sonata

Hiding mystery in my head
I avoid the arms that with pleasure
Would welcome my surrender

I can't even trust my eyes
Tunnel with no end
The path I walked is paved with fear
And too winding to understand that all I need is to reach out
For brighter side of the dark

Behind the mask
Hypocrisy
Night is come
Day is done
Once blood has been drawn
There's always a need

Before the curtain of night will fall
With its heaviness
Before the lamp will project a trembling silhouettes
I'll sneak into your head to steal your happiness

10. A Pure Formality

[In memory of Wojciech Seweryn]

Night, fear takes its form
Filling my mind
And all that was certain is gone
I touch the wood and smile to my thoughts
This path won't lead me home

[Chorus:] Pictures of past closed in the hand
Unfinished chapter of life
Reminiscence of a place I belong
Won't never sink into oblivion

He had the right, you had the law
I unclench my fists and talk to the stone
Thrown to the wolves, commited no crime
The only real thing that I know is

TIME - deadly consequence
without a word of protest
shadow of doubt
stream with no source

I close my eyes I can feel no pain
Fragile as old painting without frame
I need no guide to where I roam
The last part of this trip I'll walk alone

[Chorus:] Pictures of past closed in the hand
Unfinished chapter of life
Reminiscence of a place I belong
Pack your bags, sign here it's pure formality
