prologue
Higher altitude is measuring how bad a fall isspilling consequences of a vantage point into the sea
Soaring mortar is towering a memory this shadow falls down oating over the ocean
Sore hands building the elds to carry on vain little things heard in between
Sour thoughts, fears of the wind winter coming home above the clouds and little seen
All that could falterI conceal in stoneAll that could failI stu inside them wallsgazing lowstaring low
Air getting thinnerClimbing on alone on the wallWind growing meanerA tower growing talla little more
Monument to behold / bracing the songFell on
waved to the otherdaring to go on
a little more, all alone
Monument to behold / cracking of stoneFell on
down just because I canon my own, but with all that I am
Asking the questionWheres it I was wrong(Am I wrong?)Weak foundationFrayed minds it borea little more
Lead vocals: Thomas Petrou - Lead vocals in prologue: Alessio Kontodimos - Lyrics: Dani Joss

who is walking, between timetime is present, time is past
man of silence
I hear you speaking with no wordsI see you eternally present in the world
keeps stearing at the past
who walks the future path
whos walking
who walkswhos walking in the future path

They sense the agony, the sensibilities and the fears, sneering at contemporary mans complacency,
entrapment and illusion of fake self-sufficiency, suggesting escape routes through reevaluations
and redefinitions. They attempt to escape the past catering for endurance for the present and
resistance for the future.

Lead vocals + Lyrics: Alessio Kontodimos
Take me far away
If life has always been your everlasting fearJust get clear, shed no tear
If thunderstorm sounds like a whisper in your earsWatch your spear disappear
Take me far away, cause my heart wont waitTheres no word to say, just take me far away
My soul is pleading for a sign in this silent celebration
Wheres the old romance we had?Lets flow down the misty riverbed
There must be a better place to stayPlease take me far away

The co-existence and alternation of silences, tensions and flares, the alternations and co-existence
of the sounds harshness and the voices depth, - everything leads to an unexpected end.

6 Dont Cry
While you help me breathe
Your smile's a storm within
Come closer, please don't cry
Move slower, don't say goodbye
Who will justify
If we'll sing a lullaby
Come closer, please don't cry
Cross over, give it a try
Love is what you'll find
But you drove inside your mind
Come closer, please don't cry
Pull over, nothing to hide
Lead vocals: Thomas Petrou - Lyrics: Alessio Kontodimos

7 You and meWondering if the stars in the sky
Are bleeding as we are here tonight
On my face there's a scar that's my trade
Endless race, but the roads always fade
You and me, never met before
If that's a lie, then I'll come for more
You and me, waited for so long
Try or die, they never get it wrong
Concentrate, there's no time to complain
Join the game, some mistakes are not vain
Lead vocals: Thomas Petrou - Lyrics: Alessio Kontodimos

All I want is to nd a place where my love can growAll I need is to put out your face from my mind once more
All I long is to follow the trace you left there to showAll I get is to run in a race where no one will go
All I wish is to bring out the ace you're hiding so longAll I ask is some elbow space before I explode
Child please hold me, wild sea ows inInside glow, fade out my love
Child please hold me, wild sea ows inInside glow, untied crow, no more sorrow
