| 1. Send Me A Light
Walk through darkened shrines
Sadness's my guide
My night has come
Loneliness's my friend
My self - built land
Until the end
Rain clouds, darkness, coldness - I'm satisfied
Hate and anger, fear is my guiding light
Hear me screaming,
Crying your name up to th |

Давно слышал про этот коллектив как о клоне Nightwish, решил прикупить оба альбома (на данный момент). Первый альбом (мини 2000-го я не сичтаю, а полноформатный - 2002 года) я даже не буду рассматривать, т.к. он мне показался стандартным середнячком, и только на этом альбоме группа более-менее определилась, что же им все-таки играть и начала раскрывать свой потенциал. Перед нами отличный образчик финского симфо-пауэра с обилием клавиш и двумя вокалами - женский оперный (надо сказать очень похожим на Тарью из Nightwish - очень сильный и красивый) и мужской (чистый, типичный для финских групп). Группа еще очень молодая, но уже с большими претензиями, возраст участников на вскидку не более 20 лет (вокалист вообще, наверное, еще школу не закончил ;-), тем не менее, это не мешает им делать хорошую музыку. Собственно повелся я на этот альбом именно из-за красивых цепляющих мелодий, которые на этом диске подобраны с особой тщательностью. Даже при первом прослушивании ухо зацепится за пару-тройку вещей. Выделять какие-то либо треки я считаю бессмысленным, т.к. они все примерно одного уровня и одинаково мелодичны и красивы. Интересные интро к песням, проигрыши. Многие треки с налетом своебразной "эпичности", что придает некоторый шарм отдельным моментам. Несколько затянута баллада "Winternight", но в целом диск производит хорошее впечатление. Отдельно хочется отметить отличное оформление и обложку диска - отличная и красивая реализация, передающая музыкальные идеи альбома. Вообщем, если вам поднадоел Nightwish, Sonata Arctica и Kamelot - это ваш пациент. |

Hope for your sign, send me a light
Rescue my soul, set me free
Send me a light
Out of my night
Lay your arms on me
To set me free
My fear is me
Take my hate away
Let pain astray
Show me this way
Night falls, dark dreams, blackness comes over me
Endless sorrow, this is what I can see
Hear me, help me, your love could set me free
See me bleeding, don't go away - leave me
alone, in my night
Curse the darkness, for I can free my loul
Freedom calls me, I won't be left alone
Dreaming your dreams, could be reality
You are my dream, see what I've seen and come
with me, into light
Send me a light
Out of my night
2. Cast Away
(I)Just sail away, into deep stormy ocean
I can't astray cause destination's unknown
Tempestuous soul, possessed of the will to find you
Nobody will put me off, doing this way
Enchanted by our never fading memory
On wind I ride driven by devouring desire
Captured mind, on a journey into nowhere
Oh take my delirious fear away
Time goes by (and) still I'm waiting for you,
Your goal to achieve / my goal to achieve
Although I know that it is in vain
(I)Just live cause I believe
Gaze at horizon all day long
Feel hopeless
I'll never know where I belong
Of no avail to see you again
And when the night embraces my shore with it's
dark, cold hands
I'm sure a star will light your way
My Cast Away
I'm on my own, here in this wet salty desert
Destiny's wish, may be different from mine
If there's justice in this cruel world, you're unhurt
Time goes by still I'm waiting
Just live cause I believe
Cause I believe
Cause I believe
3. Lost
I see her face in my dreams
like a star shining all across the sea
I remember this moment
years ago there was only you and me
When I wake up in sadness
I realized my deep wounds never heal
Living only in memories
all is lost, coldness I can feel
Sky turned darker and darker
Soulless voices whispering her name
End came closer and closer
Endless sleep was sweeping in her veins
She faded away
like a rose on a winterday
I remember her last words
please don't cry for me
Lost in endless night
take me there, where I see you again
Reach out for the light
when will I break my pain
Come and fly with me
all across the raging sea
Together we will be
when will I ever be free
One night I was dreaming
seemed to me like reality, so clear
A fallen angel inside me
speaks to me, tells me what has to be done
There's a fire in my heart
burning bright like the glory of a king
For too long I was waiting
now my soul is flowing in the wind
She faded away
like a rose on a winterday
I remember her last words
please don't cry for me
Lost in endless night
take me there, where I see you again
Reach out for the light
when will I break my pain
Come and fly with me
all across the raging sea
Together we will be
when will I ever be free
Lost in endless night
take me there, where I see you again
Reach out for the light
when will I break my pain
Come and fly with me
all across the raging sea
Together we will be
when will I ever be free
4. Realm Of Fantasy
Imagine a heaven
where everyone is his own king
So fragile, a vision
To dance like the leaves in the wind
Leave stipulate paths behind
to march on my own
Salvation so easy to find
Built by my thoughts
Born in my mind
Oh land of power and grace
my sanctuary
Instead of heaven is a place
It's the realm of my dreams
a world forever to be
The realm of Fantasy
Imagine a planet
created by your own hands
so lovely, so silent
a kingdom of mighty and strength
5. Pharoah's Repentance
For all my debts I have to pay
Remains for me now to explain
For every tortured soul to pray
A murderer till my last day
Bells are ringing, day has come
For me and all my greedy sons
For every cruelty to alone
Eternal flames - my home
No release
From the sins he made
Repentance now
For him comes too late
His only wish
To turn back time
And never get into his crime
Reign with heart instead of blood
Revenge is written in their eyes
To end my reign and stop my lies
To spill my blood over my throne
And burn down all I've ever owned
Isis, Osiris, all the gods
There's no excuse for my own faults
No one to blame instead of me
Sentence already signed
No release
From the sins he made
Repentance now
For him comes too late
No release
From the sins he made
Repentance now
For him comes too late
His only wish
To turn back time
And never get into his crime
Reign with heart instead of blood
6. Winternight
Mournfull cries are in my mind
In this stormy winternight
Paint a shadow on my heart
A black cloud rains over me
See, this is me, no pleasure to see
Still the dark cloud is surrounding me
Scared, to be a different kind of my own
And the storm is raging on and on
Cold winternight - no way out of the dark
No one's leading me back
To the place where I belong
Tried to breathe in rays of light
I can't be without my winternight
See, this is me, no pleasure to see
Still the dark cloud is surrounding me
Scared, to be a different kind of my own
And the storm is raging on and on
Cold winternight - no way out of the dark
No one's leading me back
To the place where I belong
Uncovered secrets will never be found
No rebirth, no regrets never be the one to hold
Cold winternight - no way out of the dark
No one's leading me back
To the place where I belong
Uncovered secrets will never be found
No rebirth, no regrets
Never be the one to hold.
7. State Of Suspense
Gravity of thoughts
They pull you down
Carry your miles away
But often it is just one step
That makes you think of
How to escape
Which path to take
Like the red thread that guides you
Out of your labyrinth
Tied up, down on the seafloor
No way to surface again
And every move I make is
Taking my breath, strangling my neck
Just me shrouded in a nightmare
Cold water covering me
A place where light has never been
Emptiness surrounding my body
Cry -
Screams falling silently
Tears are drowning
Pressure fills my veins
Opened eyes
To get rid of my chains and free myself
From this blackened space
Ignorance - blown away by the rays of the sun
Enlightening my pale face
Blinded thoughts, now able to see
Thousands of colours are painting my scenery
Encaged - my selfbuilt prison
In depths nobody knows
And all my cries won't help me
Out of my pain, away from my grave
Just me gliding into nothing
All my life left behind
State of suspense in frozen time.
8. Lemuria
Ancient stories of a mystic landscape
On the surface of the ocean's pride
The legend lives
Fog surrounded - in the misty moonlight
Mighty waves are pounding at it's coast
Like thunderbolts
Lightning strikes are brightening up the nights
There the sky
Dropped by ocean's endless might
Drowned in the sea
Destiny, ground of the sea
A land in my fantasy
Still - I can feel
Time will reveal - Lemuia
Howling whirlwinds roaring through the dar skies
Raging earthquakes shake it's mighty ground
A nature's blast
Magic visions of a perfect land
So glorious
Burning deep inside my mind
Seen in my dreams
Hope and peace - there is no death, no war
No sensless pain
Take me to my sanctuary
Lemuria
Destiny, ground of the sea
A land in my fantasy
Still - I can feel
Time will reveal - Lemuria
9. Last Shut Of Your Eyes
Barrier of glass, filled with my tears
Empty space, just no more to hear
Walk alone, I can't get clear
Of those few seconds
Wilted heart, shattered with pain
Spring will never lead me astray
No one's able to fan my flame
Condemn myself
If I had just been able to say I'm sorry
Don't go away, live by my side
Because without of you life is grey
And even sun won't light my day
But now is too late
All those lines are delayed
You'll never cross this street again
You're out of sight
In my dreams I see your face
Every moment seems like whole days
I can't clean up my disgrace
And those few seconds
If I had just been able, to say turn round
Don't go, please stay, stay with me my dear
If I had just been able to say I'm sorry
Don't go away, live by my side
Because without of you life is grey
And even sun won't light my day
But now is too late
All those lines are delayed
You'll never cross this street again
You're out of sight
I will ever be the one to blame
Last shut of your eyes.
Ferries guide you
Guide you all along
Ferries guide you away on the silver waves
Crying heaven turns in seas of tears
Ferries guide you
Guide you out of sight
