SEVEN SPIRES LYRICS

1. The Siren

[Instrumental]

2. Encounter

Angel of your hell away from home
Wings of dusk to carry you wherever you may roam
Watching for your time

I am the Siren of the Eventide
To guide your lonely soul to shore

A loner born beneath a midnight star
Lost beneath the emerald waves, through hellish sun and frost, you're never far
From a place you don't belong

I am the Siren of the Eventide
To guide your lonely soul to shore
I am the needle still beneath your skin
Salvation from the ache that burns within

3. The Siren (Reprise)

[Instrumental]

4. The Cabaret Of Dreams

Welcome to a state of dreams
Where everything's as real as you let it be
I will be your host this eve
So sit back, relax and I guarantee

If you take it, embrace it, succumb to the dark
Escape into a night where no one knows who you are
You crave it, awake it, the coeur bizarre
Lose yourself to the twisted art

Hey! Don't be afraid
Hey! You'll be amazed
Let your demons out
Let your spirit free
It's only gonna cost you your soul
The Cabaret of Dreams

Now we're in a waking dream
Subconscious reality
Monsieur have a drink and see
The dancers dance and the singers sing

If you take it, embrace it, succumb to the dark
Escape into a night where no one knows who you are
You crave it, awake it, the coeur bizarre
Lose yourself to the twisted art

Hey! Don't be afraid
Hey! You'll be amazed
Let your demons out
Let your spirit free
It's only gonna cost you your soul
The Cabaret of Dreams
Hey! Don't be afraid
Hey! You'll be amazed
Let your sanity go, it ain't yours to keep
It's only gonna cost you your soul
The Cabaret of Dreams

Damned is he who walks with these disenchanted souls
Damned are those lost and pitiless
Our freedom lies in the conflagrant morn
Bereft of hope, there is no escape

Seek out the light
Save us all
Or fall prey
Hear our cry
Save us all

Hey! Don't be afraid
Hey! You'll be amazed
You'll be back for more if you ever leave
It's only gonna cost you your soul
The Cabaret of Dreams

5. Choices

Breath without living isn't truly life at all
You've been numb so long
Recall the chill of the night upon your skin
Let me show you now—there is so much more than this

Take my hand now
But remember
Should you leave, you won't return
A single ray of sunlight, and your soul will burn

Fear me and love me, that is all that I desire
Your soul for eternal bliss
Anything you require, any deepest dark desire
Will be satisfied, it will be my pleasure

Take my hand now
But remember
Should you leave, you won't return
A single ray of sunlight, and your soul will burn

You are weak, my dear, clear your mind
(Choose well or suffer til the end of your life)
Will you stay with me for all time?
(Would you trade your mortal life to be mine?)
Give up all you know to ease your pain
(The deepest black with no escape)
To be free of fear, what price would you pay?
(Nevermore to see the light of day)

6. Closure

The chapter's done, the pages torn
The book's turned to dust
A lifetime of dreams and best intentions

Hunched shoulders and sheltering waves
Of copper and ivory and dusk
Shielded the empty sky pouring down

Take away everything I love about this pain
So it won't haunt me anymore
Cut me off, cut it out
So it won't haunt me anymore

Every heart craves closure
Each more difficult than the last
Else they grasp onto shreds of hope, the asphyxiated dead

The heavens split open, the day's undone
The earth wrenches apart
Every syllable gushing from a crumbling mind:

Take away everything I love about this pain
So it won't haunt me anymore
Cut me off, cut it out
So it won't haunt me anymore

Can you escape your destiny?
Do you control your own fate?
Temptation's suffocating
Do you know what you've become?

7. 100 Days

Night falls
Light fades to shade
Lost to the sun's demise
He lies there alone
A cold, wandering soul
Lost in the stars in the sky

100 days of darkness
100 days of lonely bitter light
100 days of darkness
100 days of silence and peace

The cold sinks and settles in
Shivering in the dark he waits
For the lonely moon to rise
From the frozen earth he watches
Venus growing soft
Illuminating the night

A single spark is worth the fight.

8. Stay

There’s a certain look that lies
Behind your sunken eyes, I know
How shadows fall across your face

You breathed and gave them life
Didn’t you wonder how they know
All your nightmares and your memories?

Wouldn’t it be grand to never face the morning sun?
Don’t you long to rest your weary head for good?
By the light of the crescent moon, I’ll pray your soul will keep
So close your eyes, close your eyes

When the sun slips down to dusk
Beneath the horizon where you’ll be
All but enveloped by your sins,

Watch your body turn to dust
Tossed to the wind and scattered by
All your nightmares and your memories

Darling, I’ve got you now, don’t you cry
The pain only lingers if you fight
Hush now, my dear, you’ve nothing to fear
It’s only the end come to take you to sleep

9. The Paradox

There is no afterlife
Only this
There is no afterlife
Only this

I have gazed upon these skies for a lifetime or more
The fiercest stars, collapsed on heaven's floor
Airless and silent, the pathway from hell, destination endlessly far
Still, attempt to traverse through the black and frozen time

Behold the portal to the light
A tale of hope for those to die
With sings so cold and muscles tense, I could not make the journey's end
With no blood left in my veins to bleed, and no tears left to shed

Never had I felt so alone
Taste this bitter darkness

This universe of emptiness that lies within us
That we lie within, and reside in awe and wonder
Stretching through matter and time unending
A beautiful mystery eternally unsolved

Become the dreamless, reach the void and see
Into the emptiness that birthed and denied me
Forsaken, we shall accept this as our truth
Dreaming in the language, but longing for our youth

Evasive is the ecstasy of sleep
I reach for that horizon, forever just out of reach
To cross the threshold into darkness

There is no afterlife
Only this
There is no afterlife
Only this
There is no afterlife
Only this
There is no afterlife
Only this

10. Serenity

The abyss looked so cold tonight
as you stared into the depths more inviting than the light
And the mists curled like torn paper in the air
Celebrate the end of all pain and despair

Serenity, (be my guardian)
You're all I've left to hold
Agony, (give me purpose)
Your scarlet warms me in the cold
Ash, rain down (on me)
Let me hide in your grey
Storm, show your anger
Let me sink beneath these waves

Down into depths we dive
Searching for the numbness you traded for your life
Could you drown, become your demise?
Crush the air out of your lungs, but you will never die

I swore to give you all you'd need
I swore to fulfill every dream
Don't you fall into a sleep where I can't reach you

11. Depths

Cold and dark
Drift in empty space
Among the leaves and sand
Brush the current
I am blind
Dive into this reflection
(Welcome home)

Now I beg for dreamless sleep
I pray here that my soul will keep

Crushing silence fills up lungs
Ice preserve the skin and bone

Now I beg for dreamless sleep
I pray here that my soul will keep
An endless dream with time untold
I pray these waves a life will hold

Breathe, I can't inhale this fire
Lungs will rot and eyes grow darker
Beat, a heart that fails in water
I can see the surface and the sun

Now I beg for dreamless sleep
I pray here that my soul will keep
An endless dream with time untold
I pray these waves a life will hold

12. Distant Lights

The ocean took me in its arms and cradled
Held my heart so gently, calmed my soul, it seems
That I may never make my last return
Well, perhaps the night is where I'm meant to be

So cold and yet so warm
Numb and far away from harm
Distant lights a dancing glow so far from me

Could you forgive me, all I've said and done you wrong
Though I'm blind, beneath the surface I can see
A glow, though I cannot be sure it's you
Another time I would have strayed and let you
Burn my wings and let me fall
I'd worship you and give you all of me
I would have followed you wherever you'd lead

I will pledge my final breath to your name
Here at the end of my days
Pray you won't deny my chance to repay
Another time, another life

Another night the ocean was an emerald sea
That glitters in my mind from time to time
It's an old wound that remains a distant memory
Though not a day goes by that I don't think of
What has come to pass and how
A flame should never burn this long
And mine was gone the moment that I kissed those waves

I will pledge my final breath to your name
Here at the end of my days
Pray you won't deny my chance to repay
Another time, another life

I will pledge my final breath to your name
Here at the end of my days
Pray you won't deny my chance to repay
Another time, another life

I will pledge my final breath to your name
Here at the end of my days
Pray you won't deny my chance to repay
Another time, another life

Another time, another life

13. Burn

O Dormant, Hungry Fire of Morn
Heed your master's call
Consume the worthless, wretched lives
That plague your sacred hall

To fill the lungs and pierce the flesh
With rock and with sea and with smoke
Choke this land from existence
Hear the words your master spoke:

I, who guides the lonely souls to shore
And takes the lost to keep them warm
Chained here to ease our pain
Succumb to peace for a hundred days
I have found what I set out to find
A love to cut my binds, so
End this curse upon my soul
Let us bathe in flame, so we may
Burn

(A single spark to burn the night away)
Burn
(A beacon of dawn to turn the night to day)
Burn
(A single spark burning the night away)
Burn
(A beacon of dawn turning the night to sky)

Such is my will, thus the ultimate law
Eternity no longer bound
Rejoice, and mourn this sovereignty's fall
May our elegy forever resound
Now torment the seas and bring down the skies
Suffered creations, unmade
Bask in the ruin, consuming and bright
I welcome this terrible fate

I, who guides the lonely souls to shore
And takes the lost to keep them warm
Chained here to ease our pain
Succumb to peace for a hundred days
I have found what I set out to find
A love to cut my binds, so
End this curse upon my soul
Let us bathe in flame, so we may
Burn

(A single spark to burn the night away)
Burn
(A beacon of dawn to turn the night to day)
Burn

Take a step my dear, don't close your eyes
Don't regret your choice this time
We'll have one last dance before we say goodbye
Fare thee well, I bid you goodnight

All I have to offer is a memory
A song upon your tongue for you to hold
Deep in the ashes, would you bury me
And bear the wicked fire to walk alone?

Take my light in your hands and do not look back
Take my breath and build yourself anew
Renew my sentence, take my tears
Another thousand silent years
Just to see your smile light your face once more
Go now and live as you've never lived before

14. Ashes

Out of the darkness, a light shines bright alone
This broken dawn set me alight
No looking back now, I'll do this on my own
But would you let me go tonight
From the ashes we will rise
A burning pyre that brought us back to life
That tiny spark was worth the fight
No looking back now, I'll leave it all behind
I will remember you and rise
We'll rise

One last breath
Never again
One final goodbye
And from the ashes we will rise

15. Reflections

[Instrumental]
