Take a deep breath Forget this daymare And dive in the depths of yourself Drown in the depths of yourself Along this muddy path, no white pebbles to be found What a worthless journey Share a new knowing glance and wake up what lies inside There begins your story Don't wonder why, let yourself fly Fly to a dream across the stream Hear the mermaids from the cascades Follow the fairies through the glades Escape the trolls, face the dark lords Stand proud and win all these battles Rule this kingdom, this is your home See them bow to you now Take a swing on this rope ‘tween life and your childish dream Repressed so deep within Greet every ray of hope in your heart and make it gleam No more will you be unseen Don't wonder why, let yourself fly Fly to a dream across the stream Hear the mermaids from the cascades Follow the fairies through the glades Escape the trolls, face the dark lords Stand proud and win all these battles Rule this kingdom, this is your home See them bow to you now No matter what you lost Don't forget what you've got She passed away knowing you were ready for the crown There's so much left to live so don't let yourself down Don't wonder why, let yourself fly Fly to a dream across the stream Her legacy, your destiny Such a magical reality Your innocence, it's your last chance Your terabithian promise Rule this kingdom, this is your home See them bow to you now

Down 04:06
I’ve been walking ‘til my feet bleed Any heartbeat seems incomplete Crystallized memories on the wall Talk to me Tell me you’re proud of me Running in circles then falling down My whole world has been turning upside-down I have been longing so hard for this Grail But in the end will it really prevail? A painful crack makes a soul dark No perspective, will I ever live? Crystallized memories on the wall Talk to me Tell me you’re proud of me Running in circles then falling down My whole world has been turning upside-down I have been longing so hard for this Grail But in the end will it really prevail? The dew will never be enough for a flower thirsty for rain Where’s my long lost utopia? Can it even erase the pain? Running in circles then falling down My whole world has been turning upside-down I have been longing so hard for this Grail But in the end will it really prevail?

When loneliness started to take its toll My trembling hands unlocked a secret door The shards of my dignity tiling the floor Is this what I’ve always been looking for? Another dark night is falling I have lost the same old fight again This smothering pain growing to anger All hope has gone now Let’s play with fire In the kingdom of decadence Where angels display their burning wings My belief was saved by a fallen prince You can’t belong here My crownless king The clock is ticking My eyes are burning Am I wavering between fantasy and reality? When loneliness starts to take back its toll Let me drift away through this secret door Space and time will not part us anymore You’re all I have always been looking for As you opened your heart to me All my tears turned into vanity I watched you lead my deepest fears astray Until you finally stole my heart away The clock is ticking My eyes are burning Am I wavering between fantasy and reality? When loneliness starts to take back its toll Let me drift away through this secret door Space and time will not part us anymore You’re all I have always been looking for Now my only wish is to be The only one who can make you smile Why do I still feel so lonely? Am I just drowning in another lie? When loneliness starts to take back its toll Should I cross back or lock this secret door? Space and time, they killed our love forevermore Will I ever know what I’ve been looking for?

Victims 04:00
Victims of our arrogance Nevermore will the nymphs dance Like insects thinking themselves gods We’ve sunk the ark and made it all ours Hear all our children cry We have rolled our dice See all our children die Who will pay the price? Let the wind blow in my ears Let the stream flow, not the tears Let the fire burn the frontiers Let the earth turn for more years Victims of evolution Masters in the art of destruction Whoever breaks the silence We'd deny the evidence Hear all our children cry We have rolled our dice Let the wind blow in my ears Let the stream flow, not the tears Let the fire burn the frontiers Let the earth turn for more years We’ve built limits to the sky Making silver clouds cry radioactive tears on the last emerald fields Deafened by the call of greed and pride Too blinded to trust and realize there will soon be no turning back No more new leaf to turn over On the other side, we'll be dying to find the path from redemption to absolution See all our children die Who will pay the price?

All this blood on your hands ended up infecting Hapi’s waters In scorn and pride you stand Though Horus can’t shield you from these invaders Dustborn clouds are rising Black squads are surrounding Yet still you hide behind your crook and flail For so long I’ve been waiting for this moment to come From now on I will dare to pay the price of freedom It tears me apart but it’s all your fault I’ll tear you apart though it breaks my heart Oh God, bang your rod! From hunger to famine You witness the death of the last Apis Now do you feel the pain? Sekhmet herself can’t heal these diseases A storm of parasites blowing to you in wrath Now who will you turn to to stop the hail? For so long I’ve been waiting for this moment to come From now on I will dare to pay the price of freedom It tears me apart but it’s all your fault I’ll tear you apart though it breaks my heart Oh God, bang your rod! Kiss your child goodnight one very last time The sun's journey through Nut's body will last forever As they lie dead, your soul won't be saved by Maat's feather It tears me apart but it’s all your fault I’ll tear you apart though it breaks my heart Oh God, bang your rod!

Nighttale 04:05
Once upon a night sky full of shooting stars left adrift Every wall collapsing as moonlight shone down on a dream That's believable That's achievable Not unbreakable You trust all they scream at you You do anything they'd do No one ever taught you How to live How to breathe How to find your own oxygen Once upon a tear shed after another poisoning Slumber turned to coma smothering wishes and feelings Unacceptable Inevitable Irreparable They’re no more laughing at you There is nothing left to do They couldn’t see through you It's too late Contemplate What’s become of your reflection Scared to death by this blank mask all the lost souls are decked out in Yet you’d prefer nailing it on your face than dreathing again Hung up in the blue sky Amongst the mocking clouds The pale moon’s wandering Waiting for the night to fall

about

Aädler Lille, France

Aädler, c'est une force, profonde et indépendante, parfois insolente, mais surtout libérée, voire libératrice. Aädler, c'est aussi une fragilité, une flamme qu'on a tenté de souffler, mais qui n'a fait que vaciller. Aädler, c'est un rêve d'enfant enfin assumé... ... more
