A million miles away from your home
A silvery arrow led you to their kingdom
The head of the drake offering its blaze
Pray for our sake in this deadly maze
A million miles wandering alone
You are a stranger, it’s written in stone
The left hand of darkness, the planet of exile
A reign of sadness for man is so fragile
Found your way trough the skies
Come what may, pay the price
Feeling the same is always strange
Here we are now waiting for change
Carry me far away from this place
I won’t play their game, but somehow I know I’ll carry on
Her face so white, different is her kind
She’s like a mirror, she can read your mind
Born out of season, a victim of the tide
This world’s a prison, yet she’ll be your bride
Travel on, crystalize
Listen to these golden eyes
Feeling the same is always strange
Here we are now waiting for change
Carry me far away from this place
I won’t play their game, but somehow I know I’ll carry on

I won’t tell no fairy tale to you folks
I found my way down to hell since we last spoke
I got myself a lucky charm from the west
I hope it won’t do no harm for that test
It’ll take some time before it kicks, wait and see
You’ll be surprised by these tricks, how can it be
Things come to life as you breathe, but not for long
Hear all the voices that lies beneath your favorite songs
Gone, gone, gone, your mind is gone
Feel your arms moving on their own
Since I breathe in fire, I’m surrounded by smoke
Always pushing higher, adding one more stroke
Burn it with care with some friend by your side
I swear you’ll fly to a land where to hide
Disciples of the magic leaf, we are one
Just bang your head to the riff then we’re done
Gone, gone, gone, your mind is gone
Here’s a path you’ll walk alone
Since I breathe in fire, Im surrounded by smoke
Always pushing higher, adding one more stroke
Acting like a vampire, a slave to the night
Fleeing from the empire, performing the rite
Iron lungs, in your chest
Standing still, holding my breath
Ear the drums, get no rest
Living the life, fearing death
Iron lungs, for my crest
Standing still, holding my breath
Here it comes, be my guest
Living the life, fearing death

Big Wheel

Fill my mind with wonders, fill my days with truth and grace
You left your holy waters when we needed a place
There’s a river of sadness, but there’s a bridge over it
Gimme danger and darkness, well at least just a bit
Always asking questions, like a child that grown too fast
Free from most illusions, running free from the past
There’s a lonely mountain, there’s a king without a queen
Meet me at the fountain, since it ain’t no sin
Big wheel, spinning round
Will I hear the sound
Big wheel, spinning round
I’m lifted off the ground
Seeking for directions, while the world is so vast
Making some connections, few things are made to last
There’s a river of sadness, but there’s a bridge over it
Gimme danger and darkness, there’s no way I could cheat
Big wheel, spinning round
Will I hear the sound
Big wheel, spinning round
I’m lifted off the ground

Grace from the divine, she’s an evil one
Witness the decline of clean innocent fun
Hiding from the king, they gather in the wild
Tell me everything, O my hellbound child
A village lost between the mountains and the sea
Our age must get clean of witches like thee
I’m tormented by sin, no man shall ever know
That fever in my skin, is something from below
Sing your little song, tell me pretty lies
Your days won’t be long, lower these eyes
The flame it burns the same, these walls can’t hold you down
All will take the blame, all of you will drown
Now the Sabbath comes, for everyone to see
Stay inside your homes, the devil rides free
Sing your little song, tell me pretty lies
Your days won’t be long, lower these eyes
In pain, we finally ride
Again, this moon is my guide
In vain, we finally rise
Amen, black butterflies
Girl made of sun, you’re no longer a child
Swirl on and on, daughter of the wild
Give not a fuck, about their foolish pride
Live as you please, time is on your side
Fly as a bird, to see all of them burn
Pearl of this world, the wheel now will turn
Smile as you dance, they’ve seen the truth somehow
Sing once again, they’ll be listening now
Free from the strain, ready to take back the crown
The fire burns again, witches are back in town
It’s always been the same under that cruel star
Remember the name : Witches of Akelarre

Winter Sun

A cold wind pierces my skin, every morning’s the same
The winter sun is rising, see who I became
Maybe I needed a break from this aimless ride
Was it another mistake, now I stand petrified
With guilt and overthinking, life can be so lame
Sloth, my favorite sin, I keep dealing with shame
A warm breath behind my neck, they’re always by my side
But I do feel like a wreck, I’m on a dangerous slide
Well you know, I’m a weak, human being
Not a hero, for I’ve grown out of hate
Yeah you know, I’m a freak, always fleeing
Just a zero, just a fiend, a dead weight
Will I find a way, the future starts today
Still wondering why, life’s passing me by
The wheel never will spin, I’m the one to blame
As my belly’s aching, I’m tired of playing this game
You know me like no other , you’ve been here from the start
Well, I’ve been a faker, but I’m sick of playing a part
But you know, I’m a weak, human being
Not your hero, for I’ve grown out of hate
Yeah you know, I’m a freak, always fleeing
Just a zero, just a fiend, a dead weight
Will I find a way, the future starts today
Still wondering why, life’s passing me by
Will I find a way, the future starts today
One more lonely night, I don’t feel alright
