MIDNIGHT ODYSSEY LYRICS

1. From Forest To Firmament

into the forest I hear a shivering voice
She's calling me to mourn the end of life
But which life ends, another's or mine
In the end we all succumb to time
And then I see her standing
With her finger pointed at me
She tells me when I fall asleep tonight
That I will take my last breath of life
Under the crimson fullmoon,
My time will cease

I'll leave the forest for the astral sky.
Her words are sealed by a cold kiss
Then she wanders out of sight.
I try to stay awake all night
The moon is low, my eyes are heavy
I soon succumb to total exhaustion
Though fearful thoughts dominate me
I feel the end is nigh
I can't pretend that this is a dream
All I can do is look to the sky

2. Nocturnal Prey

Drowning is misery,
of thoughtlessness decay
The shadows engulf me
like a cunning predator
And I am its prey, helpless and alone
Without a prancing light to lead me away
The sombre noises of the darkest night
play in my head and their music is madness
I am their prey, confused and haunted
Without the insight to keep them away

The stars are trying
to lure me to their light
The fire's calling me
to share its warmth
The wolves are howling
to keep me on my toes
The owl is watching me now

he sees my movement
from within the trees
he senses unease
and stares a little closer
he smells my flesh
from which will be a feast
Of night's unholy minions.
Lying in peace,
no more air do I breathe
The rats pick and prod
and scavenge from my bones
I am their prey, a blissful winter feast
And now I smile, the pain has gone away.

3. Departing Flesh And Bone

4. A Host For Ghosts

5. As Dark And Ominous As Stormclouds

Very quickly the night turns into day
The darkness forced to hide
to become shadows
The solace of the fullmoon
has been replaced
By the glaring heat of the sun

The rays pierce through me,
my spirit wanes
I wish to hide, though I have no body
I feel so dry, I feel as if I could die again.
As minutes pass
I see the sign of stormclouds
I see them forming as if in haste

Someone or something
is trying to shelter me
I feel no need to shy away.
The dark grey clouds
have blanketed the sunshine
The air is colder
and still there is no sound
I sense the start of thunder
and pouring rain
as my spirit flies into the storm.

6. Salvation Denied

The rain pours down,
it's freezing cold
And soon I'm flying
through a storm of ice
I've not been this cold
since the moment I died
and though I left my flesh behind,
I shiver.

The thunder crashes down
It's quite a dreadful sound
and the lightning bolts
go flashing around.
And without knowing
I'm struck a shock so strong
and I go crashing back down
to the ground.

7. Storms Of Fire And Ice

8. From Firmament To Forest

Condemned to fall,
I feel the weight of thousands
as nothing halts my drop
into the brimstone halls
I see the moon
and stars getting further away
I know the fate that holds me,
I know the pain to come.
The light above gets smaller,
I feel the heat rise
The blackness of this dwelling
mirrors the night sky

And cries of pain surround me
And hands reach out to grab me
And evil souls possess me
And show me tortured visions

Now I wander weightless,
my touch is freezing cold
The souls have complete control,
I've surrendered purgatory
I know my future will bring me back
once more
To the forest where I died, to roam
the earth once more...

9. From Beyond The Eighth Sphere
