The Only Way 04:32
lyrics
Leaves are falling down again another season’s end is drawing near and I’m still here pages of my memories falling down from trees long past sights right before my eyes I see my dreams so far away still I keep on reaching for me it is the only way through my hands the time is slipping fast Hear the whispers in the gale those will never fail who’ll never try to sacrifice no one will really ever know where tomorrow goes and now I see the road is free I go my dreams are far away why do I keep on reaching for me it is the only way through my hands the time is slipping fast Far to the sun across the skyline heading all my thoughts and fading Far to the sun across the skyline heading for my thoughts and like the rain descending where I belong

Down the River 05:30
lyrics
The Winter ends and days are growing long I don't want to take he is dead and gone oh, I taste how bitter my own tears can be when every joy turns to pain and misery But what was that sound again... and again? as if the northern wind cried out my name I'm sitting by cold waters gazing into the sun "I don't believe he's gone," it says slowly going down I'm trying to find at least one sign that would show me the right way the only thing I know I cannot stay here anymore I sail on down the river to the gardens where the cherry-trees grow I sail on down the river maybe there is the way for me to show Was it you River who took him away from me it seemed that still waves nodded to agree please give me back the one I really love more than anything more than the sun above I'm trying to find at least one sign that would show me the right way the only thing I know I cannot stay here anymore I sail on down the river to the gardens where the cherry-trees grow sail on down the river maybe there is the way for me to show

Stones in my Hand 04:28
lyrics
(Oh goddess) Ascending the stairs to the holy mountain I walk the same path last time in this life Green hills valleys and my lake eternal dwellings of the deceased The doves of the goddess coo birdsongs echo in my ears the wind blows and the sky is blue all feast that the spring is here Looking for a sign I picked up the last one again I saw them fly beings of light I raised my arms then I heard the sound storming through the cloudless sky The years that passed all lie in my palm I’m counting the stones of my life "Rejoice that you could hear the divine sound of the changing era new in thoughts and deeds..." The century of the gods now has ended and another one has begun The years that passed all lie in my palm I’m counting the stones of my life I’m lying down but my heart is yearning some day I rise and return againg

Gardens of Oblivion 06:58
lyrics
She took me in to the garden so beautiful like in a dream the flowers were speaking to me "I have long been wishing for a sweet girl like you just lay off and I'll comb your hair you will like it sure..." I should have seen she put a spell on me memories faded with a blow of the first breeze of Spring "I must take them away the roses from her sight I let them sink into the earth so she stays forever..." (In the) gardens where oblivion reigns... Fair and delicate three beautiful sisters dancing by the lake in the light of Moon they make merry and don't even care if they only knew what shall happen soon They should be far away sleeping in their beds but all were enchanted by a sweet smell three coffins in which they lie gliding across the lake the evening bell tolls sadly their knell Seasons came but I still had a spring am I insane? finaly my mind became clear Why are no roses in here? not a single to be found I wept and tears ran down my face falling to the ground... Through my tears I saw a rose-tree sprout kissed and embraced it and there it was the autumn outside Oh how I've wasted my time where he could only be? "We've been down where all dead lie but he was not there don't fear..." (In the) gardens where oblivion reigns...

Silant Land 04:27
lyrics
I am left alone in a silent land beneath the stars I'm laying my head when at last my toil will be passed my aimless journey will take its end Many questions said no answers known deep inside me I feel a stone high in the sky only a raven flies it seems to be a friend not a foe Spread your wings and lead me on far away beyond mountains tall so spread your wings I have to go fly only friend that I know It was last night I had a dream a gate in mountains I've never seen from caverns dark and dungeons deep whispering voices were calling me Spread your wings and lead me on far away beyond mountains tall so spread your wings I have to go fly only friend that I know

Evil Mirror 05:17
lyrics
Cruel emptiness aimlessly through these iceplains I roam all the ages long I have not talked to anyone the edge of the world where the ocean grows over with ice waves driven by the wind the other side of paradise Condemned I am forever here to stay - I'm calling I am lost release me please let me go away So I made people see the things that they all kept within to nothing shrank the good And in size increased their sins Take it to the sky let them look inside take it to the sky Evil Mirror... it's time Cruel emptiness aimlessly through these iceplains I roam all the ages long I have not talked to anyone Condemned I am forever here to stay - I'm calling I am lost release me please let me go away condemned I am forever to stay alone - and wait between day and night forevermore Take it to the sky let them look inside take it to the sky Evil Mirror Take it to the sky let them look inside take high this divine Evil Mirror... it's time

Through Ice and Snow 04:44
lyrics
Farewell she said run my friend as quickly as you can over stumps fly like the wind to that great ice plain She's too cold to speak but I can give her no greater power than the one she already keeps within We must hurry wolves are howling ravens ringing high while up in the sky shimmer red lights like tempting flames of fire See how strong she is how she’s got through that all barefooted still there is a very long way to go Through the desert of ice and snow now to the unknown I wade alone Through the desert of ice and snow now I’ve reached the end
