Requiem 03:55
The time has come, the world is dying By the sound of the funeral band he was borne A song on his lips when he went to war With rose leaves on the coats of dead men The band played merrily again To the march of grey nameless masses With a smile on his face he went to battle Sending his hatred to unknown men Now a body with no face lies here Your soul has a place on earth no more Lifeless and mortuary the trumpets sound For the dead hero fallen in war
2.
Life forsaken, released from greys In my dreams I sleep eternally Life forsaken, dreaming about death That was taken from me Wounds are deep, filled with emptines Shining in colours and haunting mirrors All time walks one step behind me Life forsaken, released from greys In my dreams I sleep eternally Life forsaken, dreaming about death That was taken from me Never awaken, that is my fate Lost in a daylight, that is my fate Being forgotten, that is my fate Life was a daybreak, such was my life
3.
V krajine ticha, rachote hôr Bičujúc lesy v búrke oceli Po svätej ceste kráča on sám Postoj na chvíľu a počúvaj ...tam v tichu, mŕtvi spia Tisíce synov hlboko v podzemí Spia svoj spánok večnosti Ďaleko z domova, ďaleko z objatia Ležia si v hroboch ticho a v pokoji Všetci už zabudli, že kedysi žil Postoj a pozeraj, tam ležíš aj ty V perinách lesa, v posteli z dreva Kamenné kríže zdobia ich telá ...tam v tichu, mŕtvi spia

He slept in the flame and awaited the death He lay in ashes at the edge of the world He was not afraid of the darkness The end of the day had come He slept in the flame on the road through darkness And his body burned in the gleam of fire The forest branches absorbing the soul Waiting for the path of his ancestors The flame had stopped, only dust remained No body to be found no more On the way to eternity with bright sunlight His legacy will remain with us
5.
In the solitude of the mountains, on a journey I set out Barefoot, silently and alone In the cradle of the roots, the light fades away The horizon of darkness is approaching me Fear is present in the song of birds In the needles of the forest and the skin of trees Ancient one approaching through the thickets The worms already feel the cadaverous smell It is him who has come for you Is that the forest or is it you? Your blood thickens when life comes to an end The bell ring for your last trip, farewell

Epitaf 04:53
Keď raz umriem... Zapálte hranicu s mojím telom Nech zhorí v záplave dymu na úplný prach Postavte mohylu na zelenej pláni Nech moju dušu opustí strach Keď raz umriem... Nesmuťte za mnou Nechajte moje telo večne spať Tam kde stojí chrám mojich predkov Tam zaznie posledný plač Keď raz umriem... V chladnom kameni zasvieti luna Zaduje vietor len pár prázdnych slov Tu leží človek, čo kedysi dýchal V posmrtnom rubáši svoj večný sen sníval
7.
Silent Chasm 04:43
The haunting call in shadows hollow Will take us all where none may follow Though many try to hoodwink fate Their bodies lie in broken state Along the way, the path you choose To pay and play a game you ll lose When all is said no words need breath We re all born dead yet fearing death
8.
V žiari ohňa zhorela si do tla V symbole smrti žila si za tmy Za splnu luny získala si moc Zrodená v slnku, v temnote noc Morena... s tebou prichádza zima Stratená v čase, chaose tmy Spálená v ohni, s príchodom dní Odetá v bielom, topená v samote Skántrená plameňom, ukrytá v temnote Morena... s tebou prichádza smrť V pustine hôr, vo svetle hviezd Hľadá svoj osud v plameni ciest V mesačnom svite stromov jas V okovách rieky vyčká svoj čas
