A cold wind awakes me
With a stern and sober voice
Gone is the warm embrace
Of summer’s hopes and joys
A growing apprehension
That I just can’t suppress
A change has come over me
With newfound consciousness
As the leaves start falling
I hear
The Autumn Throne calling
And it feels
And it feels like Hell
And it feels like Hell is drawing near…

Vast oceans of time
Pass before my eyes
Resonating the present and the past
Lost seasons of sense
Now marginalised
Into a state that we know can never last
Hunting high and low
In my Realm of indigo
Secrets none can know
In my Realm of Indigo
Fears I need to show – Dreams I can’t let go
In my Realm of Indigo
Past reasons entwine
With hopes and blatant lies
Where tales of lives and dreams have amassed
History’s revenge
On all who close their eyes
That no one will be spared from the past
Hunting high and low
In my Realm of indigo
Secrets none can know
In my Realm of Indigo
Fears I need to show – Dreams I can’t let go
In my Realm of Indigo
What will remain (what will remain)
What will remain (what will remain)
What will remain when I’m gone

Fill my head with darkness
So I don't have to see
The worries of the world surrounding me
Dumb my mind with numbness
So I don't understand
That nothing ever goes the way I planned
Strip me of all feeling
So I don't have to feel
The love I knew, the hate I know and believe them to be real
Rid me of the horror
The dread that fills my soul
To stand at the road’s end but there’s no goal
Justify the madness
Or give a reason why
I should give this masquerade another try
Shine a light to follow
‘Cause I cannot decide
Should I leave right now, stand my ground or chose the other side?
No happiness or misery
There's only life and death, you see
We learn these words until the end
And give our lives to comprehend
No happiness or misery
There's only life and death for me

The Autumn Throne

The evening wind of October
Leaves a cold kiss upon my face
In silence and in solitude
I stride to take my place
Upon the Autumn Throne
Where broken spirits rest
I sit solemn and alone
Gazing to the west
Sunlight is leaving
I mourn her warm caress
And dread the growing shadows’
Encroaching loneliness
Gone are the roses of summer
But the thorns will always stay
Consumed by the emptiness
When all the lights have faded away
Upon the Autumn Throne
Where broken spirits rest
I sit solemn and alone
Gazing to the west
Sunlight is leaving
I mourn her warm caress
And dread the growing shadows’
Encroaching loneliness
Crown me with the weight of all these ragged years
The glory of the madness and my wasted tears
The Autumn Throne
Where broken spirits rest
Stands solemn and alone
Facing the west
For the sorrows that we carry are eternal
And though years may pass they never will subside
Like open wounds they just keep on bleeding
Still we hide them well beneath a shell of pride

I've returned from distant shores
From a multitude of views
To find there's nothing more
No secrets and no clues
The reasons that exist
That I’ve tried so hard to find
Can surely not be missed
If you look deep in your mind
As the years pass
Indifference grows strong
I long to find my home
The place where I belong
The bitter taste
Of empty contentment
Lingers ruefully
Breeding resentment
The Glory
I've been searching for
A speck of light
Shining just for me
A Fire
Igniting my core
That's just and right
Shaping my destiny
Distant phantoms beckon
They call me from the void
Like golden embroideries
On a black fabric deployed
Providence lies waiting
Alone I stand to choose
The weariness of aging
Offers what I can't refuse

Of Wind and Cloud
03:53

I close my eyes and once again,
I find myself in the mist
A soothing calm washes over me
Where all and nothing exists
Through darkness and light
I silently stride
Absorbed by the majesty
Of all I feel and see
Dancing shadows beneath the moon
Call me home
Shapes of Wind and Cloud
I long to join them soon
Where I belong
As centuries end and eons pass
The turning will never cease
Each breath I take – my first or last
Alone among the trees, is a step to find inner peace
Through sorrow and bliss
I know what I miss
But never quite understand
What I have or who I am
Dancing shadows beneath the moon
Call me home
Shapes of Wind and Cloud
I long to join them soon
Where I belong
This dream of twilight
Veiled in mist
Reflecting the winter of my core
The river of night
Takes me there
Where nothing really matters anymore…

It happened so fast
Yet it seems like a lifetime ago
Do you remember, what you believed?
The way it was, supposed to be
I’ve changed myself or something changed inside
I have come to see, the reality of life
All colours – now turning black
All colours
All colours – now turning black
All colours
And so it came to pass
The only way it could really end
I’ve surrendered, given up myself
Always too much of a coward for anything else
We seek the answers but the reasons we hide
I have realised, the travesty of life
All colours – now turning black
All colours
All colours – now turning black
All colours
… there’s no turning back
To outlive myself
Now there’s nothing left – there is no one else
I’ll outlive myself
Just awaiting death - there is nothing else
I’ll outlive myself
With that died the last
The one we all thought would remain
It never ends, as you hoped it would
The master plan was misunderstood
The weight of the world can never be denied
I have accepted, the fatality of life
All colours – now turning black
All colours
All colours – now turning black
All colours
… there’s no turning back
To outlive myself
Now there’s nothing left – there is no one else
I’ll outlive myself
Just awaiting death - there is nothing else
With the falling of the first snow
I cling to life… yet let go…
