Just like those beautiful memories of moments that never happened and the undying wish that runs ahead forever faster,
so strange is the light that we create in the heart of darkness and, likewise,
the music that swings our souls through the void of sadness.
We are the dreaming ones. We are the lonely ones.

My Glorious Fall
04:09
|
|||
|
Astray in the darkness, all alone, in the conjuring silence of the night,
there I wander, where the pain ends and I can feel my heart
beating faster, beating strong, for the song yet to come alive
and still I wonder when I gaze at what’s inside
with so much devotion for all things to come
enthralled by the mystery of all things undone
I feel this unbound, power, like never before
from the shadows, and heartache, one soul comes forth
to face the greatest, challenge, the neverending road
the adventure of a lifetime, my glorious fall
I strive through the madness, feeling lost, as I carry the burdens of the past,
I am restless, for the light and the chance to show them all
there is magic, there is hope, there's a fire deep within our souls
that makes me wonder, when I gaze at what’s inside
moved by the memories of all the things now lost
I am under the spell of the one thing I own
I feel this unbound, power, like never before
from the shadows, and heartache, one soul comes forth
to face the greatest, challenge, the neverending road
the adventure of a lifetime, my glorious fall
I stand on the shoulders of the timeless ones
on the quest, for the music that will pierce my soul
I see, through the sorrows of the lonely ones
so free, in their halos, now I know that we are one
I feel this unbound, power, like never before
from the shadows, and heartache, one soul comes forth
to face the greatest, challenge, the neverending road
the adventure of a lifetime, my glorious fall

Alive For The Journey
05:30
|
|||
|
a song for the ocean, a poem for the fallen ones
forever in our souls
there’s echoes that whisper,
the words of a long lost hope that never died
they show me a way to stand all the storms,
I'm facing inside
we're all here together, we're riding the seas
forever and now
the fire in our hearts will never fade nor die
like the winter stars beyond all time
sailing through the dark the howling wind will guide
our souls into the skies!
dark sails in the moonlight, we're going where no one goes
I'm feeling so alive
there is no return now you have to get lost to,
find what can't be found
no time for regrets it's time that I make,
my choices in life
I'll carry my memories, my sorrow as I,
just reach for the light
we wander on, in loneliness,
we'll see it all (there's no hope)
we are the ones forever gone,
unbroken, strong, wild and free

A Lonely Dreamer's Wish
03:45
|
|||
|
once upon a cold, cold night
she felt the world inside
staring out into the sea
alone, with just one wish
the music plays, for all her faith
she knows the time will come
to let them know, the endless love
she gave to just one hope
harsh and true, this land will take her heart
time stood still for that one night
on the stage, once so afraid and alive
her lonely dream became so bright at last
all the colors of the wind are made of black and white
the greatest poem is said without a word
for the lonely ones
torment and wonder - the concert of life
music and silence - this is all I am

The Stars Temple
07:07
|
|||
|
I dance with the flames
on my way into the unknown
so strange and divine
it calls my name
and I must go
lost, in the night
so far away in...time
secrets unfold
at the gates of the spirit world
patient, I behold
I'll find my soul in the void
lost, in the night
so far beyond my...time
I am alive, I am the outcast
"ride the storm, on your mind
sacred child, of the universe, go on!
let go all your fear, all your pain
let the silent voice, lead on!"
lies and illusions
always thrive in the dark
where only a true mind and a true heart
will bring the purifying light
the day finally comes
I must be strong, am I the only hope?
awaken by the fire,
my mind is clear,
at last I understand
death is not my pride
I will defend all...life!
I am alive, I am the outcast
"ride the storm, on your mind
sacred child, of the universe, go on!
let go all your fear, all your pain
let the silent voice, lead on!"
"sacred child of the universe, in silence
rise, find the light, inside"

Moonshine & Sorrow
04:38
|
|||
|
hope, don't leave her winter soul, go find her
paint our heartfelt memories in moonlit
dreams, set us free, let us make this fantasy
and let the nightfall wash her tears
moonshine and sorrow
don't let us fall
soaring through shadows, so beautiful
her spirit glows alone
warm sweet words forever gone, it's so silent
and cold, he's felt this pain before, it leads back
home to be free, recreate the fantasy
may the nightfall wash his tears
moonshine and sorrow
don't let us fall
soaring through shadows, so beautiful
his spirit glows alone
bless their hearts, make them feel forever
a new world's there, so vast and great
a lifetime seems, too short to live
to love and sing, to give all we need
moonshine and sorrow
don't let us fall
soaring through shadows, so beautiful
her spirit glows alone
moonshine and sorrow
don't let us fall
soaring through shadows, so beautiful
his spirit glows alone

Winter Ghost
04:32
|
|||
|
I rest my eyes upon the winter sky
my soul is flowing with the wind and
out in the cold I let my hopes unfold
it’s time to feel for the quest that goes on and on
shadows arise, a memory comes to life
the cruel fading ghost of a smile
the journey begins, those tales are dead and gone
my winterheart’s forever strong
"go all the way into the core of your soul
feed your curiosity, reach out for more
when darkness falls, the mountains call
this battle is madness
dream, and long for more!”
fierce and proud, I will stand through darkness
I'm free and that will never change
the time, will come, and at last I’ll find
my place in the universe
(fateless white)
cold winterheart, frail oceansoul,
warm winterheart, brave oceansoul

Nightmares
04:20
|
|||
|
stand on the edge, don't fear the fall
just breathe out the memories, and let the life in!
the bigger hopes bring stronger storms
we shall walk through the fire
too many years out in the cold
from shadows born, my will burns
welcome to the nightmare of my dreams
meet the demons that feed on your fears
here you'll find the light that only shines
in the dark, deep in your mind!
gaze at the strangeness, so far from home
torment and wonder, are never over
and notes will flow with words of hope
these songs will feed the fire

Soul Of Rain
03:59
|
|||
|
She ran away in the middle of the night
with a dream glowing in her eyes
free at last she can feel it in her heart now
melodies like rain falling into her soul
now face the sea, so wild so free
so bright a journey, your destiny
its time to wake
or life you’ll waste
standing in line
only you can fly your skies
from the past, all demons come alive now
her greatest fear stands humbled by her greatest hopes
and now she feels so strong and free
old chains are broken, no time for tears
its time to wake
or life you’ll waste
standing in line
only you can fly your skies
now go get lost
sail the world
see the dreams and the dreamers die
go survive

Torment & Wonder
12:00
|
|||
|
I sing her name as I run forever
the colors fade in this quest for answers
"glory for the brave, this is your salvation!"
a cruel game, if you lose direction
tonight I'll sing my sorrows,
waiting for a new tomorrow
I keep her faith in my heart forever
I've gone astray in this quest for answers
the heroes are dead, there was no salvation
this cruel game, is my creation
moonlight and freezing shadows,
I cannot see a new tomorrow!
these are the days to be brave
in this tale, we live and learn!
we have our dreams, tears and pain
always there to guide the way!
we stand, alone, against the world
we are outcasts,
forever doomed to seek the love we never had
brother don't fear, I'm here, I'm strong
our fate has changed, it all seems wrong
but I will never let us fall
inside I'm scared, but I cannot fail
"there's! no! home!
dreams! are! lost!
you are all alone
we will take your souls"
awaken after the storm to grief and silence
this rage will part from your soul, for once, for all
the time has finally come, torment and wonder
we’re going separate ways to find the world
these are the days to be brave
in this tale, we live and learn!
we have our dreams, tears and pain
always there, to guide the way!
in this music, I have found my...life!
the past is gone and our faith is strong
we will sing a song with our souls
a fire burns our hearts,
we are so alive, this is our time
Lonely child, you’re not alone
darkness falls on us all
the brave and strong dreaming ones
the neverending road, your greatest hope
can’t you see them lead the way forevermore?

The Saberlight Chronicles
by Fellowship
What could we say about Fellowship, they are the ultimate proof that power metal has always been worthy! You will understand that two-fold when you listen to 'Glint' :)

Few albums evoke in us the illusion and magic that Elvellon brings with 'Until Dawn' - what a source of inspiration!

Pair some epic power metal and heavy metal and you have yourself an amazing album. Produce an album like Abyss and you have an instant classic. I can't wait to hear what comes next from this talented group.

Call Of The North
by Frozen Crown

I'm kind of hooked on Frozen Crown right now. Jade's voice is great. The band is tight and crisp, with strong solos from both guitarists. No weak spots here. Frozen Crown is delivering the goods.
