THE ARCANE LYRICS

1. Rivers Of Endless Sorrow

Come my love my one and only
Inside these waters bathe with me
Taste the warmth of endless sorrow
Savor with me each sensation

Tears commence their endless flowing
To feed the rivers of ever growing
This lake of tears is quietly waiting
Slowly filled with our mourning
Slowly wander inside the realm
Where all creation is made of pain

Dip your fingers in my water
And taste the salts of endless sorrow
Dip your finger in the river
And taste the source of all creation

Come my love my one and only
Inside deep waters drown with me
Only you can now imagine
How deep these wounds are truly bleeding

Tears commence their endless flowing
To feed the rivers of ever growing
This lake of tears is quietly waiting
Slowly filled with our mourning
Slowly wander inside the realm
Where all creation is made of pain

Dip your fingers in my water
And taste the source of endless sorrow
Dip your fingers in the river
And taste the source of all creation

2. Flame Dance

A storm has struck my sweet cradle
Breaking it down to the ground
As she sleeps an Angel shines
Despite hell she crawled thru
Day by day struggling against them
Will only make her stronger

My shattered heart would surely die
If this angel spreads its wings
Flying away for me would be
Stealing my reason to live and die

And as for an icon these candles burn
To free her from this hurt
And while she rest these fires are for her
To end her suffering
The winds of autumn will make them dance
But never put them off

My shattered heart would surely die
If this angel spreads its wings
Flying away for me would be
Stealing my will to live and die

My shattered heart would surely die
If this angel spreads its wings
Flying away for me would be
Stealing my will to live and die

3. To The Sea

I’ve been wandering alone on this silent shore
With the whispers of waves talking to me
As the warmth of the water spread on my skin
Softly immersed I was comfortably numb…
Comfortably numb….

I remember the story of this little boy
With the dreams of a child the tears of a man
As I gaze to sea I’m longing for answers
From this one I lost still waiting for me

Standing before her the sea is my mirror
Reminder of sins and lies long forgotten
I’m not joining the others in their sanity
This infinite sadness fake reality…
Reality….

This child I once buried for long now forsaken
This wisdom in patience still calling me
I am losing my soul this freedom I bled for
Dragging it slowly outside myself…

4. Last Dance For The Dead

Hear them sing in this dark forest
Hear the drums rumbling with rage
Like thunder they roll invoking the spirits
See the light of this immense fire
Feel the aura of this mysterious night
Can you only imagine what soon will become?

As the life of the sun falls into darkness
The light of the moon is revealed to our eyes
As the lords of the winds begin rising
The leaves of the oaks start shivering
As the tears of the heavens are feeding the earth
The daughter of winter enters the play
And stronger it grows the sound of the drums
As the cries of our people echo in vain

[Spoken:]
The dance is about to begin…
The dance has begun…

They live in fear of what shall become
They weep for those who left them behind
In the name of a god they have fought and killed
Hoping that maybe they would reach a heaven

As the first drop of autumn falls from the skies
They bury the blood of a murdered brother
As the winds declare upon each other war
The darkest of mountains shows ravenous horizons
They’re thorn by thunder the skies are bleeding
As the lightning faced warrior is stamping his dance

As the first drop of autumn falls from the skies
They bury the blood of a murdered brother
As the winds declare upon each other war
The darkest of mountains shows ravenous horizons
They’re thorn by thunder the skies are bleeding
As the lightning faced warrior is stamping his dance

And it rises and rises the fear in their eyes
Failing to flee the wrath of the gods….

5. Dark Seed

The darkest beauty the deadliest sting
Wordlessly standing in the back of your mind
Always watching patiently waiting
Let me tell you about this friend of mine
She crawls in my head she’s under my skin
She never forgets softly she’s ticking

This nightmare you fear is cloaked in a dream
This devil is lurking he lurks and he grins
Eating your flesh you wake up in fright
This illness that breeds across your nights

Feeling this cold gaze stabbing you deep
This dark is inside you within your sleep

The darkest beauty the deadliest sting
Wordlessly standing in the back of your mind
Always watching patiently waiting
Let me tell you about this friend of mine

She crawls in my head she’s under my skin
She never forgets softly she’s ticking

This nightmare you fear is cloaked in a dream
This devil is lurking he lurks and he grins
Eating your flesh you wake up in fright
This illness that breeds across your nights

Feeling this cold gaze stabbing you deep
This dark is inside you within your sleep

Tossing and turning inside my bed
This dark seed is blooming inside my head
Tossing and turning inside my bed
This dark seed is blooming inside my head

6. Listen To Me

Listen to me from deep down inside
I am the voice that refuses to die
You fool yourself about your humanity
Instincts that you just won’t let be
You refuse to see what is so clear to me
You think you are the one you cannot be

Open your eyes listen carefully
With no disguise show yourself to me
I am the dark that forever won’t die
I speak from deep within insanity

Come to me now and follow my way
I read the night hidden inside your mind
I speak the words, sounds you should not hear
I give the truth and along insanity

[Spoken:]
This box you live in it has no key
Just a window for dreams to be

7. Human Sin

8. Souvenir

Between my frozen fingers
On this silent day
Just like the sands of time
Space vanished away
In hopeless madness, and insanity
I sadly sought my eternity

Time has taken time
And the time I saved was time I lost
With space as the sole remain
Of time inside my mind
And now space is gone…

This foolish longing
For the bones of my memories
All I kept within is the footprints
Of space inside my mind
And the remains on my skin
From the souvenir of time

Time has taken time
And the time I saved was time I lost
With space as the sole remain
Of time inside my mind
And now space is gone
