SWALLOW THE SUN LYRICS

1. When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light

Inside the night
there's a firelight
between the worlds,
at the edge of dark.

Inside the fire
there's a blinding light,
the flame that burns
between the worlds.

At the edge of the dark!

When a shadow
is forced into the light
it rips through your chest
and burns like a fire.

When a shadow
is forced into the light,
and the blood of the serpents
will burst under brightest stars.

And the wings will carry
these shadow and the light,
and the scars like diamonds will
cut through the veil of night.

The clouds apart
and new stars alight
between the worlds,
in the sea of the sky.

The sun and moon shines
from your eyes, lead me home
through the map of skies
from the edge of the night.

When a shadow
is forced into the light
it rips through your chest
and burns like a fire.

When a shadow
is forced into the light,
and the blood of the serpents
will burst under brightest stars.

And the wings will carry
these shadow and the light,
and the scars like diamonds will
cut through the veil of night.

At the edge of the dark,
at the heart of the dark,
at the edge of the dark.

Where I stare the night
straight in the eye and the
demons of deep will arrive.

From the wounds they bleed out
their black blood like oil
and I spark the flame of the night.

And I will melt these chains
and forge them as a crown,
drag those shadows to the light

From the heart of the dark,
at the edge of the dark.
From the edge!

When a shadow
is forced into the light
it rips through your chest
and burns like a fire.

When a shadow
is forced into the light,
and the blood of the serpents
will burst under brightest stars.

2. The Crimson Crown

The crimson crown
Fell from the blood red sky
Through the golden clouds.

Out from the crown
Grew mountains and the skies,
Out from the diamond drops
The sea and stars.

Upon the circle
Shines the all-seeing eye
Between the Earth and
The crimson crown.

Shines through the golden clouds!

The forest sleeps so quiet
Like flowers in your arms
As the white swans of the night
Fly by the bridge of stars.

And I bow before the moon
And I pray to the skies,
When mist falls on your garden
Bless your temple of the star.

And the night falls like silence,
And the night like velvet silence.

In this temple of the golden nightingale
These flowers still weep so silent,
Dance around the gentle moonlight
With the touch of the summer wind.

And the lakes glimmer silver
Like the tears from your eyes,
But there are no goodbyes
Just light between the stars.

Sing for the night,
Sing for the morning rise
Like birds of the night upon
The light of the Evenstar.

The Goddess of the Sky,
A lighthouse in the night.
These temples won't fall
Built on a crimson crown.

Out from the crown
Grew mountains and the skies,
Out from the diamond drops
The sea and stars.

Upon the circle
Shines the all-seeing eye
Between the Earth and
The crimson crown.

Shines through the golden clouds!

3. Firelights

I'm drowning in this black
Stream of sunken dreams,
Under the water I'm breathing in.

I'm breathing
The phantoms,
The nightmares.

And the firelights
Upon the waters burning,
On the isle of time where golden
Torches burning bright.

Touch to realize now
All tides of dark are turning.
Trust in the night now,
Inside the fires burning bright.

I'm floating upon this black
Stream of broken dreams,
Upon the water I'm bleeding.

I'm bleeding
The phantoms,
The nightmares.

And the firelights
Upon the waters burning,
On the isle of time where golden
Torches burning bright.

Touch to realize now
All tides of dark are turning.
Trust in the night now,
Inside the fires burning bright.

Pull me under,
Under these black waves.
Fill my lungs with your fire.

Their poison ropes cut into my hands!

Drown me down to your abyss,
Blind my eyes with your blades.
I drag you with me into these flames
And all that remains are ashes
Of phantoms, of fears.

And the firelights
Upon the waters burning,
On the isle of time where golden
Torches burning bright.

Touch to realize now
All tides of dark are turning.
Trust in the night now,
Inside the fires burning bright.

4. Upon The Water

Upon the water the song of
The birds still echoes silent,
Low tide is gone forever.

Forever!

Cast all the demons in the sea,
Into the abyss of the Earth.
To the sleep of the wild sun
I want you to bury me, bury me!

Upon the water the song of
The birds still echoes silent,
Low tide is gone forever.

Forever...

Below the starlight
Pyres are burning above the water,
White ships are gone forever.

Forever!

Cast all the demons in the sea,
Into the abyss of the Earth.
To the sleep of the wild sun
I want you to bury me, bury me!

Upon the water the song of
The birds still echoes silent,
Low tide is gone forever.

Forever...

The April skies
Singing songs of goodbye.
Farewell tonight,
Leaving with the tide.

And the fire burns
At the edge of the dawn,
And the nightingale
Shines upon the water.

Cast all the demons in the sea,
Into the abyss of the Earth.
To the sleep of the wild sun
I want you to bury me, bury me!

Upon the water the song of
The birds still echoes silent,
Low tide is gone forever.

Forever...

5. Stone Wings

Speak through the silence,
Lay down your crown,
Lay down your fight.

And when you speak
The words of silence,
Walls will crumble in
And skies open.

And when you speak,
You speak with silence,
And I carve each word you
Sing on my stone wings...

And the light will pour in!

The fires are burning
Under the starlight,
Through veils of golden light,
The sails so pure, so white.

Through the river of death
I carry you, my love.
Breathe in the night,
My arms alight.

And when you speak
The words of silence,
Walls will crumble in
And skies open.

And when you speak,
You speak with silence,
And I carve each word you
Sing on my stone wings...

And the light will pour in now!

I threw this iron crown
Into the eye of inferno
This lake of fire,
This pit of ghosts

Breathing in the dark,
Exhaling the dust of stars.

In this shrine of silver light,
On the edge of the moon,
You sing to me.

The river flows deep through
My heart and through my eyes
As you turn into the light,
The dust of silver stars.

And when you speak
The words of silence,
Walls will crumble in
And skies open.

And when you speak,
You speak with silence,
And I carve each word you
Sing on my stone wings...

And the light will pour in!
Carve each word you sing
On my stone wings now.

6. Clouds On Your Side

Years passing by,
Your mind messed up,
So is life.

Where did this come from?

Struggling through the night
With only clouds on your side.
It's not true though,
It's not true.

To bleed is to feel in your core.

Dreams fall apart!
Don't you ever,
Don't you ever close
Your heart to me.

Don't you ever,
Don't you ever close
Your heart to me!

Things always fall apart,
Rips your heart out thousand times.
It's not the end though!

Falling through the sunken skies
With your words by my side.
It's not the end though,
It's not the end.

To bleed is to feel!

Dreams fall apart!
Don't you ever,
Don't you ever close
Your heart to me.

Dreams fall apart!
Don't you ever
Never say never,
It's not over now.

"Que les cieux noirs d'orage
Chassent le voile devant tes yeux
Ainsi que tu as chuté tu t'élèveras
Tombant au travers des miroirs de ton espirit
Qui t'ont gardé sauf et aveugle
Une chute libre dont tu ne vois pas la fin
À présent laisse l'air caresser ta peau

Gisent encore des fragments épars
Dans la fissure entre les marées
Mais la vérité seule survivra
Tout le reste périra par le feu

Sous des nuages de pluie sombres
À travers ton océan de douleur
Le soleil de nouveau percera
Et tu verras un autre jour"

7. Here On The Black Earth

You're the island
In the sea of time,
I'm the ghost ship
In the night.

In the eye of the storm
You're the lighthouse,
I am at the edge of the world
Beyond the walls.

Death tore out the flesh from my bones,
Left my soul so pale and hollow.
My hands reach into the void
Where you used to be!

Built my armour from the bones of them angels,
Breathing out the arrows of God.
My hands reach into the void
Where you used to be.

You're the island
On the broken sky
I will keep my sacred vows

Under moonlit skies
Here on the black earth
In the fragments of an empty heart
Where you used to be

Death tore out the flesh from my bones
Left my soul so pale and hollow
My hands reach into the void
Where you used to be
Built my armour from the bones of them angels
Breathing out the wrath of God
My hands reach into the void
Where you used to be

Riding on the edge of the world
Now free like the racing clouds
Circling around the halo of the moon
Like the birds of the night when touched by the sun

You're the island
In the sea of sky
I'm the ghost ship in the night

In the eye of the storm
You're my lighthouse
I'm at the edge
Of the world

8. Never Left

Left my heart on the battlefield
Nothing left to fight for
Strip down all my beliefs
Nothing left to die for

It's too late
To dream again
Of tomorrow without the dark that will remain
Within me

Please light, don't let me win
When I walk into night without you
Please light, hide deep within
Where the shadows can't reach you
Please light, don't let me win
When I walk into night without you
Without you, into the eye

And it's too late
To turn back again
Walk beside, along the light
In the dead of night
Within me

Please light, don't let me win
When I walk into night without you
Please light, hide deep within
Where the shadows can't reach you
Please light, don't let me win
When I walk into night without you
Without you, into the eye

The bridge I built from these empty arms
No life or death will tear these hearts apart
Echoes over aeons of time
Upon the stars
Upon the stars

Please light, don't let me win
When I walk into night without you
Please light, hide deep within
Where the shadows can't reach you
Please light, don't let me win
When I walk into night without you
Without you, into the eye

Empty rooms
But you never left
Empty house
But you never left

Empty heart
But you never left
Empty arms
But you never left

Empty rooms
But you never left
Empty heart
But you never left
Never left
