You've conquered my heart You've conquered my mind and my soul No matter how far I've traveled You've never let go Like rivers do flow You've got me Under your spell In darkness is light Surely this is Where your soul dwells Awaiting the moment To become one with this Earth Knowing inside our hearts Only to realize rebirth Join me as we become Pure as the sunsetting sky Nothing can harm us For we hold the all seeing eye Join me as we become Pure as the sunsetting sky Deep within the darkness Light does hide We now find the essence And confide Cascade shadows Upon the walls of our grave We now dance Into the night we've made Flesh on flesh We taste the scent of love Reflect back through time To see the divine Rise up The phoenix The journey so long The journey so long We now get lost In each other's arms

Release me From my soul A reflection Of somber times So pure Lay with me under these stars Now just close your eyes And let me be your guide Release me From my soul Together as one For eternity Silence speaks I can see Through your eyes Through your eyes And under the twilight We watched the moon Turn into the sun Only to forget The struggles that passed Through times of pure sadness Eternally blessed When you look back at our lives Sorrow and sadness lies And every step in life we'd take Our hearts had shown the way Your glimmering eyes Look so free They shine so clear In the sun When you look back at our lives Sorrow and sadness lies And every step in life we'd take Our hearts had shown the way Your glimmering eyes Look so free They shine so clear In the sun Your glimmering eyes Look so free They shine so clear In the sun Under the sun Our souls as one for eternity Shed your tears And I will always be there To embrace the cold Oh, the fire seeker Oh, we are the fire seekers We are the fire seekers Oh, we are the fire seekers Oh, and in the final sequence When all but the Earth has deceived you By your side For I could never say good bye Even when you are alone I am within you Watching over you For eternity Your soul belongs to me And mine to you All these years All these tears Gone With your pain Release me From my soul It's too pure Release me From my soul From my soul

Like stars We transform into the night Watching from distant moons Witness Such wondrous sights In dreams We find the answers To cure all our sighs Colors Shine into your eyes We glimmer Under this twilight Take my hand Escape into night Like a withering flower Our lives are but (h)ours Passed on by the minute We are all but an instance Gaze into your future To sights seen within And you will learn of your purpose We are one With Earth's surface Cast away All doubts and fear And when you look In the mirror You shall discover a seer Reaching out to touch A sky which has no end Real eyes Realize There are no boundaries in life Rather our own compromise Each and all days Let nature Show us the way To brighter days of the future As sights turn to grey Sorrows Sorrows and pain Get washed away Our minds as one So engraved Reaching out to touch A sky which has no end Take flight Take flight with me Shelter yourselves From the storm Within my arms Whisper I whisper your name Into the night The horizon fades As we watch Until the end Free yourself From this pain that enslaves you Take hold of your life Embrace this love That we made true Take my hand Escape into night And let these words teach you wisdom From within your sub-conscience Tired of crying You're so tired of crying Wipe the tears from your eyes And let these words Be your guidance Reaching out to touch A sky which has no end Take flight Take flight with me Shelter yourselves From the storm Within my arms Whisper I whisper your name Into the night The horizon fades As we watch Until the end And I could never let you go Free yourself From this pain that enslaves you Take hold of your life Embrace this love That we made true Take my hand Escape into night And let these words teach you wisdom From within your sub-conscience Tired of crying You're so tired of crying Wipe those tears from your eyes And let these words Be your guidance Reaching out to touch A sky which has no end Take flight Take flight with me Shelter yourselves From the storm Within my arms Whisper I whisper your name Into the night The horizon fades As we watch Until the end Take flight Take flight with me Shelter yourself From the storm Within my arms Whisper I whisper your name Into the night The horizon fades As we watch Until the end Whisper

And now we Reach our end Through cataclysmic design And how the silence falls Upon our captive minds The Earth beats its lonely heart This plague Constricts its veins And smothered is our hope Through constant Searing pain Withered and stripped away Our fate Shall come with ease The final judgment arrives And it is us That now must die Blood runs cold Through our veins Until frozen to ice The day turns into night And the sun sets One last time Earth's surface Hexed curses The final sequence unfolds The prophecies manifested Death The true divine blessing Creatures of habit propel The failure of our species And in a world of exile The children turn to ashes Take a look in my eyes For just a moment Before you die And you will find The reasons To feel so alive Our souls escape To join with ethereal tides Never to let you go Reborn we shall unite Take my hand As we watch Eternal darkness As we leave this place We called our home Memories Frozen Wandering souls Eloping into death I feel your warmth Beside me Till we take our Last breaths This is what I lust Together We turn to dust Our eyes stare deep Until the darkness defeats Wandering frozen Our souls grow old Eloping to death I feel your warmth Beside me Until we take Our last breaths This is what I lust Together We turn to dust Our eyes stare deep Until the darkness defeats This is what I lust Together We turn to dust Our eyes stare deep Until the darkness defeats

about

Reflections of Somber times is a concept album which tells the story of the human spirit's journey through the end of time. It depicts the story of mankinds relationship with the earth, and the dependency we have for the energy and spirit of all living things. A love story about the end of time, and how no matter what happens love is strong.

Even in the end of times, this energy of love can be more powerful than the energies of darkness. We either deal and receive positive or negative energies, and all of this is connected through the human aura, spirit, mind and consciousness.

The lyrics have a double meaning, two stories in one essentially. The first, being a love story and becoming one with the person you love, during the end of existence. The second, being the relationship between man and nature, and the experience of the earth destroying all life to become new again...the ouroboros.
