Opus Aeternus - Kambrium

and so i will wait

until we meet again

the surface and me

now i can feel

i’m bound to see the fear

the serpents are near

the legion is here

we take control

the force has arrived

the dream is a lie

you belong to us

the signs in your eyes

the lake i can see

is staring back at me

i’m lost in a dream

the ghost is calling my name

she drives me so insane

caught by the stream

i sacrifice my own life

i will never dream again

close my eyes — fade away

in my dreams i will decay

one last song — forever gone

time will cast the final storm

endless frost seals my fate

gloomy shadows are awake

all is lost (in your mind)

i will fall (and die)

i will drown in endless sorrow

my own life the greatest lie

into the dark (we'll find you)

I can’t hide (come out)

full of fear — they can sense me

all the serpents are gathered now

monologue I

— turn the tide —

fog is rising from the surface

through that haze i can see undefinable blackened silhouettes

they’re getting closer and closer

now i see myself surrounded by ancient creatures

i can’t name a number of those who are still hiding in the fog

but i feel their empty eyes are starring at me

one of these creatures, holding a scepter in it’s claws, dissolves from the rest

it is watching every single move i make

all of a sudden it takes a bow and raises the scepter

it seems to be a solicitation to take it

i stretch out my hands

as i take the scepter, the sky turns black

lightning strikes the earth

and the wind becomes a storm

majestic mountains begin to collaps

hail stings like nails in the face

endless frost will darken my soul

raging forces all around me

blackness rising everywhere

i can see the shadowpath now

eternal nightmare — a vicious scare

brightest flames of salvation

will be killed by dark deception

roaming in my deepest vision

see the snake division

serpent blood

in my veins

can’t resist

these evil cains

cold wind blows

inside my soul

burning hate

i lose control

monologue II

— the serpent’s revelation —

i can feel how my skin changes

my veins begin to burn and frost freezes my thoughts

dream and reality collide

I can not tell what is true

illusion and madness merge to one great lie

Now i see the frost reflection

night is overwhelming me

lost forever in my nightmare

restless shadows everywhere

Monologue III

— the enlightenment —

now i realize what happenedt

this whole world is built on the foundation of my lies

nothing is real

i myself am the biggest lie

now i am doomed to live in my own nightmare

a second hell where there is no hope and escape

into the darkness

and into the black light

serpents of sorrow

hiding in the cold night

i sacrifice my own life

i will never dream again

close my eyes — fade away

in my dreams i will decay

one last song — forever gone

time will cast the final storm

endless frost seals my fate

gloomy shadows are awake
