1.	North Omens feat. Gleb Shashkov 02:07	lyrics	buy track
Forefeeling, And waiting. So The storm is nigh. Cold winds are Foretelling. Freeze. The storm is nigh. Yeaaaaaaaah! The moon and the stars, Even the sun - Ritual light Heathen masters, you forgot, he brought He’ll introduce to them, should you wish Let that sink in! Perceive: The eighteenth I know I have never told I’m wandering alone and I’m feeling so cold My presence here could be a dream For I could not be even real But rituals are almost done Yeaaaaaaaah! The premonition!!!

Here I stand It seems like I’ve sinked Too deep There is no hope To understand I see in white My shell Surrounded with tides Of time Does not feel it And here I stand Questioning Who are those creatures With no skin, just glowing Eyes… My personality blurred It is a snowy plain With no end It is a neverending sense Of existence of a ruthless Storm That coming Maybe it passed here long time ago And it feels like calm now On my plain that dreadfully Forced to exist Some are changing names But this one was the one Who’s collecting them Too many puzzles… too many conclusions This one has oversensed reality too much I’m so unshaped Yet so complete Will you be there When I close my eyes? The meanings are lost Everything’s just universal When I’ll behold The ruins of this Reality torn apart Will I feel…? Cause that’s the only thing That is real

The sky - is my skull The mountains are my teeth The sea is my blood The land is my flash My eyes are always open But I feel myself blind And through the mist My heart wonders The peace is melted into chaos In my mind But I know now what is needed To look behind the curtain On that Tree You hang Wind disturbs it’s branches On that tree you’re given To Yourself That is knowledge’s demand On that Tree Which roots are hidden In the depths unknown You were You are You will You become When I am wasted Take my ashes And make a new star of it Take my ashes And let it return to the source Let it shine Let it not lead you astray Let it shine Until the very end Somewhere in time I will sing again Take my ashes And make a new star of it
4.	the Whale Song feat. Artem Sergeev 02:29	lyrics	buy track
My eyes are Shrouded in a fog My heart is Hidden in a box We’ve sacrificed Our sight Already don’t remember why We drift here Looking for someone In the sky I know we’ve lost Our archetypes Those Gods who beheld are long Gone But I still can hear The Whales Song
5.	PostHuman feat. Gleb Shashkov 05:42	lyrics	buy track
Whatever choices I will make Still I know That time will steal us all away I’m dreaming My programmed conscious - version eight My own God - Undead We’re all illusions, all the same Or are we alive Neverending Cycle Of dying Climbing Searching The answer - creator All the love and all the pain. are they mine I don’t know where the program ends Existence undefined my room represents the universe Nightmare this is god Should i forget Will i be the same Should i die will you remember Is this what existence means Embrace darkness Take my hand Look inside Of your mind I'm not real. Don’t you dare Wash away All the pain I’m it’s part Make your-self real Our memories is all that defines what we are Inside me an empty space, Spirit or just a maze Of zeros and ones I guess I am not alive Filling an empty space With spirit or just a maze Of zeros and ones I guess I am not alive So this is the same old way The search for the answer and death Embrace the void and start again Whatever choices I will make The time will steal us My programmed conscious - version eight Illusions memories We are

The path made of blood Under the moonlight I feel my memories Come to life now My dreams were my reality I just want to come back I just want to dream again The cold, lifeless stone Will accept my key To get me through time and space I will find myself Whole but unshaped And He will welcome me They knew I will come It was said to fear the Guide But I can’t allow this To myself Lead me, the Ancient one Swallowing the horror, I will unleash the secrets I placed myself near their thrones One of them is mine My trial starts here Absolute nothingness embraced me I’ve dived into the indescribable I am everywhere and nowhere I am always and never I am one and I am many I beheld the final gates When I'm awake They all are gone But I see the truth now Nameless moon presence Was always with me Always watching me I see the source of my dream The cold, lifeless stone Will accept my key Made of old blood I collected what’s mine And paid the price. Humanity.
7.	DeadHuman feat. Ivan Hansen 05:49	lyrics	buy track
Through life It seems We are Nothing Through death We are the universe Forever This pain I feel from holding on Is it really worth it? And should I die, will it go away? It seems too good to be true Since I'm here right now, against all odds What makes me think I could end it? The absolute, the infinity It don't seem I would seize to be 'Cause the universe finds a way Take my pain away from holding on I cannot see the path I walk In this black hole It seems like everything is pushing over Nothing seems to cut it through so Reach my hand and take it all away Stray the path Break the fate Build the dream Struggle is all for nothing Bring it down Give it up Let it go The force is already upon us Swallow The sun The universe Take it back again
8.	I Speak Into the Dark feat. Artem Sergeev 02:56	lyrics	buy track
Listen, only walls around I`m left to speak into the dark Listen Echoes of my whispers are becoming ghosts. Hush. Hush. Saying out loud only scares them off. Hush. Hush. I will come up With my whales Floating somewhere Floating high Somewhere in the night Walls can only absorb the words As I remain speaking into the dark You tell me Will you be there When I close my eyes? When I become As calm as death When do I close my eyes? I'll hit my head Against the wall Steps are echoing in response As I speak into the dark
