INTRO TO REVIVAL
We stood up on two legs
And raised our heads above golden grass
He was there
We sharpened stone and steel
Used tools to harvest grass, beast and brother
He was there
We clustered together
In brick and mud swarming with rats and plague
He was there
We built nations and mistrust
Our fingers hovered over the red button
He smiled
Still we build
To rise above the golden grass
Away from the reach of his scythe
When he will harvest no more

UNDYING MYSTERY
So cold
So cold out here
You can't see us
You don't know just how long
We've been watching
We've been waiting
Now the time has come
And you'll wish you never knew
Our true meaning
You won't forget our names
You will find our graves
And all will remember
And regret
The lost will be carried away
Only to return once again
The darkness of this mystery
Is undying
So old
So old your fear
You can feel us
And you know when you're alone
We are with you
Our arms around you
And noone will come
We are taking some of you
Away with us
And you will cry our names
You who made our graves
And all will remember
And regret
At night we were carried away
Now we have returned once again
The darkness of our mystery
Is undying
You won't forget our names
You will find our graves
And all will remember
And regret
So cold
So cold out here
You will be us
You will long for the ones
You are watching
Love them with loathing
And the time will come
When you must reveal
Your true meaning
They won't forget our names
We will haunt their graves
And all will remember
And regret
At night they were carried away
Now they have returned once again
The darkness of this mystery
Is undying
The lost will be carried away
Only to return once again
The darkness of our mystery
Is undying

CUMULUS CROWN
Sing a hymn to the ascender
Who sits aloft, wrapped in splendor now
You were made that you may never know
Blood bought children, helpless rendered
In our folly we will feed the ground
Garden made of graves still grows
Altogether
we could never
comtemplate the splendor
of the
Cumulus Crown - Resting on his head
Cumulus Crown - Mine are thorns instead
Cumulus Crown - Rests upon his head
Cumulus Crown - Mine are thorns
Mine are thorns instead
Although justice be thy plea
Through course of justice, none should see
Salvation, neither you nor me
Cirrus thoughts fall short forever
To bridge the gap between the earth and sky
Atone for us despite the lie
For it is I, a meek offender
Who brought a hammer down into the nail
To trade for life that never dies
Sing a hymn to the ascender
Who sits aloft, wrapped in splendor now
You were made that you may never know
Sewn together
with forever
making up the halo
of a
Cumulus Crown

ETIAINEN
Winds will come and rain will fall
Dare to tread no further now
Desperately we cling to dust
In the rot we put our trust
Every idol bound to fall
off the altar...
The sacrifice crawls
The sacrifice crawls
Sorrow sentry chase the wind
In the end you will begin
To grieve the pain of your decay
The thought that life got in our way
The sound of mocking breeze does call
Oh how quickly...
Your house of cards falls
Your house of cards falls
Oh, Etiainen - Follows me
Home, Etiainen - Follows me
Home, Etiainen - Follows me
Home, Etiainen - Swallows me
Gone in search of many schemes
Weaving fabric of our lives
Where the fact and fiction clash
Works forgotten in our past
The age of Tempus' voice stands tall
Still the stones cry out...
Your echoes still call
Your echoes still call

CONDEMNED
This is a place
Of hopelessness and fear
And I don't think we're getting out of here
The light is dim
The path is overgrown
Where we've ended at noone could know
Reasons why sadly fade
Who we were slips away
Shadows roam
These old deserted roads
Searching for the light that let them go
The secret sealed
Hidden in archaic art
Memories of strangers digging deep graves in the dark
Distant cries on the wind
Silence suffocates again
Abandoned love and loss of will
Has left us in the burning fields
Has cast our bodies to the soil
Condemned to live
A death that never ends
No forgiveness granted for our sins
The emptiness
Stretches on and on
Our names are long forgotten now, the need for them has gone
Reasons why sadly fade
Who we were slips away
Abandoned love and loss of will
Has left us in the burning fields
Has cast our bodies to the soil
This is a place
Of hopelessness and fear
And I don't think we're getting out of here
