Darchitect - Flight of the Vulture Fly! I spread my wings in the sky I feed on fear as you cry Die! No place to hide When I fly high No hate no love I’m just above Die! I’ve been waiting so long Now I know you’re alone Run! Ever since you’re born ‘till the day you are gone Run! Run away Run from the sea As you rush in Rush into me Prepare to fight Look at the light Welcome the night Embrace death, escape life Thou shall crawl before rise Born of both water and sword Bearer of hope and of word I spread my wings in the sky I feed on tears as you try Wait! You won’t leave me behind Running towards the light No place to hide I can fly high I won’t deceive No joy, no grief Embrace death, escape life Thou shall crawl before rise Born of both water and sword Bearer of hope and of word Light of the unknown Guide me through the storm Voices from the grave Lead me to my fate Father of all light Bringer of my sight Grant your love to me Burn me and curse thee

Darchitect – Hidden Voices Night falls upon the desert land The desert has no end Before my eyes the lighthouse stands Voices of the damned Hidden voices speak inside my head I feel alive although I know I’m dead Hidden voices can’t control my mind I can go on and leave the past behind (REPETE Who are you…) Who are you that calls my name Who am I that live in shame Where to go if hope is vain Where to bury my remains Who are those that I can hear Whisper curses in my ear Where to go when you’re alone Where to run if all is gone The light is shining but I know I’m lost The storm is raging I can’t bear the cost The door is open, they invite me in I know no one who can forgive my sins I flee across the desert land My misery has no end Before my eyes the lighthouse stands Voices of the damned (REPETE Who are you…) Who are you that calls my name Who am I that live in shame Where to go if hope is vain Where to bury my remains Who are those that I can hear Whisper curses in my ear Where to go when you’re alone Where to run if all is gone (Who are you…)

Darchitect – The Lighthouse I follow voices Through this path of sin A twisted torment Same where I have been As I reach my fate The house shines bright How could I ever Escape the light? Live your life, live your death Face your fate, face your sins Bear the light Break the curse, clean the wound Save your soul, raise your fist Feel the light Be the one, carry on From the land, ‘till the sea Keep the light As you were, as I am May forever remain Be the light Do what I do Die as die Turn your back on me Run away tonight Live your life, live your death Face your fate, face your sins Bear the light Break the curse, clean the wound Save your soul, raise your fist Feel the light Be the one, carry on From the land, ‘till the sea Keep the light As you were, as I am May forever remain Be the light Do what I do Die as die Turn your back on me Run away tonight

Evanescing Hopes As the light leave my eyes As I look to the sky As the hope leaves my heart And I know As I watch the horizon beyond Standing on the trap door Feeling cast away ashore Like the waves come and go Like a boat I can’t row
6.
Darchitect – Shelter in the Labyrinth (2:15 – 3:30) I’m turning my back on the light I keep the sun out of my sight Hiding away from death and pain Wandering alone these endless lanes Eyes open wide I keep my fears so deep inside Far from home Running away from what I’ve done Until it’s time to be set free My penitence and agony Inside myself Shelter in the Labyrinth Across my hell Shelter in the Labyrinth Beyond your help Shelter in the Labyrinth (2x) Madness consumes me Inside the endless / ruin Of what has once been me Maze of mirrors Among despair and / shivers Caused by regrets and sins Welcome my friend To your final rest Welcome my son To the final test Time to face yourself In the mirror Time to face your cell Of terror
7.
Mirrors of Illusion I am lost and alone By the wind I was blown Every step that I took Grew me old, drove me mad Made me thin as the pages of books Now I see in my eyes What reflects from inside Here I stand, here I lie Wait for death, wait for me And I promise not to say goodbye Twisted dreams Fade away All the promises, hopes And the will to go on I can’t help but feel it’s all in vain In this maze / of illusion Lost in darkness / and confusion Guide me, / oh wraith that I call Save me, / alone I shall fall In this maze / of illusion I seek my / absolution Into / the sea I was thrown I know / I know no home Hear me, my brother I’ve been through fire and pain I don’t know for how long I have been trapped in these chains Hold me, my equal I can still hear my death knell The abyss is calling We have been cast into hell Sailing away I dream of sailing away Back to sea Nobody here to miss me Take me away Or leave me alone with my fate

Darchitect – Behold me as I Fall Into the pits I have fallen down tonight Slit my wrists In despair, when I felt blind Tormented soul Haunted by the ghosts of sins Forever cursed To be myself, to live with me Forsake me Mourn with me As you behold me as I fall Forgive me Scream with me As you behold me as I fall A thousand worlds to see (limpo) A thousand beings to be (limpo) A thousand ways to sin (limpo) But one mind to rule it all (gutural) I don’t know what I see (limpo) I don’t know if I’m free (limpo) I don’t know who to be (limpo) But I know is time to fall (gutural) Forsake me Mourn with me As you behold me as I fall Forgive me Scream with me As you behold me as I fall (2x)

Hunger of the Void Let me have you Let me take you Let me drag your soul Back to where it comes Welcome to nowhere You have fallen through the endless Have come to feast with the nameless In the eternal void where all things must end How can you think when you have no mind? How can you dream without hope in sight? In the eternal void where all things come die The hunger rages on forever It devours dark, light and matter What chance could stand a fragile soul bearer? What must you lose if you hope to win? How can you judge if you also sin? How can you end if you won’t begin? Into the pit you come Survive through the void alone Undead and reborn, don’t know? Demented No past to awake the dead No future to lie ahead Alive through the end, my friend Devoured Can’t embrace me Can’t escape me Where all things come end Let me take your hand Let me take you Set me free You are free As I drift towards the sea Deep breath and you live Let me go Save your soul I return to where I belong The shadows are gone

Adrift 03:38
Darchitect - Adrift I try to see myself through the eyes of the unknown One last deep breath to take, like the calm before the storm The waves are calling me, I behold the dreadful sight Beneath me is the sea, and above me grey wide skies Adrift, Adrift I’ll sink before I save me Adrift, Adrift I’ll die before they kill me My visit never ends, as the winds shall blow me back Tied to a destiny to be broken, to be wrecked The waves are pulling me, the beginning of the end The haven I deserve is a grave of salt and sand The waves are calling me, I embrace the dreadful lights Beneath me is the sea, and above me grey wide skies

The Visiting 10:50
Darchitect – The Visiting Arise From the depths, arise Ascending spiral Transcending soul Beyond denial The pass is whole Winds of rebirth The pyres burn By the waves you come Time for your return The journey ending To begin again Let me take you on Let me take you home Let me take you A sea of memory Through the sands of time Let me take you on Let me take you home Let me take you Through the unending desert and the endless sea Into the darkest forest, no one else but me Welcome the sorrow, blinded by the light Visiting cosmos blessed by the night I see the sun arising The morning star is shining The waves have come to take me home
