Faux-Enchanted Grounds
Verse I
I have been told of a land that can only be found
Through the gravel road surrounded by the colored leaves
A place filled with a charm
Uncommon from the land I departed from
Bridge I
The horde flock to this place
Hoping for just one day
To forget the harsh realities
And live their fantasies
Chorus I
But all I can see
Are these faux-enchanted grounds
If there is such charm and magic
Then why can’t I feel it?
Verse II
It’s the kingdom made out of plywood
The otherkin who are more human than we believe
It’s the agonizing truth
That this place is all just make-believe
If for just one second I wish
My heart can feel the warmth and magic of this place
Maybe then I will be able to see how real this lie can be
Bridge II
Even those that brought me into this world
Would rather spend a day here than a day with me
Perhaps if I smiled and follow the horde
I can have the foreign feeling that they all seem to share
Chorus II
But all I can see
Are these faux-enchanted grounds (faux-enchanted grounds)
If there is such charm and magic
Then why can’t I feel it? (I can’t feel it)
My ice-blooded heart
Anchors my soul to the ground (to the ground)
If there is such charm and magic
Is this why can’t I feel it? (I can’t feel)
Outro I
All I can see (All I can see)
Are these faux-enchanted grounds (faux-enchanted grounds)
My ice-blooded heart (Ice-blooded heart)
Anchors my body to the ground (to the ground)
If there is such charm and magic
Why can’t I feel it?
Why can’t I feel it?
Outro II
Can you help me?
Because I can’t feel anything

Crusaders in Ophelia
Verse I
Did we ever thought
That the iron-clad shells
Will find us?
And slay me?
Loveable Twig
Be wary of them
For they seek your
Precious gift
Pre-Chorus I
Runaway Twig! (Run as far as you can)
Flee from here! (For all of us please)
Please! Don’t worry about us!
We’ll be fine
As long are you’re alive
Chorus I
Soulless knights
Thirst for our blood
To be spilled across our sacred land
As Ophelia changes
From cerulean to ruby
I cannot bear to watch
As my friends
My family
My kin
Are all gone
Verse II
This sanctuary is my home
This sanctuary is my fortress
It is my shield
It is my sword
And I shall not
Feel helpless!
If it comes from nature
It is under my command
Now it is my chance
To fight back!
Pre-Chorus II
Runaway Twig! (I have the gift I can fight!)
Flee from here (I can’t sit by and watch you die!)
Please! Don’t worry about us! (Please don’t make me leave!)
All hope is gone
Unless you’re still alive
Chorus II
Soulless knights
Thirst for our blood
To be spilled across our sacred land
As Ophelia changes
From cerulean to ruby
I cannot bear to watch
As my friends
My family
My kin
Are all gone
Outro I
His Swords
Destroyed all that I know
I now
Have no home to call my own
Outro II
Why?
Oh why was that bond severed?
This gift
Curses all those that are close
The only way
Is to flee and find him
For that is the only way
We can restore this world
Outro III
I shall find the Boy
Until then
I cannot endanger myself
Or it’ll be the end
For all
======================================================= 
Righteous Persecution
Verse I
The Swords of the king
Strikes swiftly with persecution
Those that are different
Those that are supernatural
Are to be executed
As the tyrant looms down
His dark shadow blinds his subjects
As crimson stains the land
Pre-Chorus
The delicate bond
Between Man and other beings
Now severed in the name of purity
Chorus
A pure world
Without any filth or corruption
This was the dreams of my forefathers
Now it is within my grasp
That clever façade of peace
Has fooled them all up until now
Now the only opposition in my way
Is the Gift and the Boy
It won’t be long now
Until both of them are found
And once their heads belong to me
My reign shall be complete!
Verse II
As his shadow spreads
Further and further down the land
All who are not of his kin
Shall be reduced to dust
And all who assist the filth
Shall suffer the same fate
For it is his will
That shall purify this infested land!
Pre-Chorus
The delicate bond
Between Man and other beings
Now severed in the name of purity
Chorus
A pure world
Without any filth or corruption
This was the dreams of my forefathers
Now it is within my grasp
That clever façade of peace
Has fooled them all up until now
Now the only opposition in my way
Is the Gift and the Boy
It won’t be long now
Until both of them are found
And once their heads belong to me
My reign shall be complete!

Another World
Verse I
The caliginous corridors
Shelters me from the horde
While they proceed to the left
I snake my way to the right
Only I know of the secret
That lies deep within the maze
The dark path
Keeps me hidden from the naked eye
As I slip into the darkness
And enter into another place
This room parallels their fantasy
Yet still far from my reality
Pre-Chorus I
The unearthly light from this mirror
Strikes unknown fears in my heart
Yet the uncertainty of it all
Marches me forward in a trance
Chorus I
There is another world
Lying underneath the one you know
Waiting for you to uncover it
And explore the boundless possibilities
The golden opportunity calls for you
To discard the life that you once knew
For finding what you seek in the unknown
Needs for you to shed your shield
Verse II
Endless meadows and crystal-hue skies
Welcome my new vision
The fear of being somewhere unfamiliar
Grips my heart
The growing sound of thunderous hooves
Turns to my direction
I turn to flee
Only to find a pair of amber-browns staring right at me
My heart would’ve skipped a beat
If it wasn’t for the iron-clad horsemen giving chase
Her eyes light up in astonishment
As though as if she found a long-lost friend
As her hands jerked my arm
Towards the blackest depths of the forest
I turned my head
Only to find our hunters fall over newly-uprooted limbs
An innocent twitter escapes from her lips
Leads me to believe there is much more to her than I perceive
Pre-Chorus II
The unearthly light from this mirror
Strikes unknown fears in my heart
Yet the uncertainty of it all
Marches me forward in a trance
Bewitched by the comfortable intuition
That this is what my heart is seeking
So I cross into unfamiliar territory
As I seek to find happiness within the unknown
Chorus II
There is another world
Lying underneath the veil of reality
Waiting for you to uncover it
And explore the boundless possibilities
The golden opportunity
Calls for you to discard the life that you once knew
For finding what you seek in the unknown
Needs for you to shed your shield
Bridge I
Never have I seen a human’s eyes so lucid and so life-like in my life until now
Never have I felt such nostalgia and fondness for a human before until now
I have never seen this boy before in my life yet it feels like I found my long-lost friend
So I let fate drive me to assist him for he is possibly in as much danger as I am
Bridge II
I gripped his hand to find that he has not been tainted by his black shadow
My fears disappeared as I lead him into the shade of the woods and let nature shelter us
Destiny has brought him in my direction as our paths are now intertwined
Now it is up to destiny to guide us for it is our fates that are going to mold our lives
Bridge III
Our curious stares set upon each other as a new chapter is yet to be written
Though we both have tear down the walls of prejudice in order for us to fully understand
Chorus III
There is another world lying
Underneath the veil of reality
Waiting for you to uncover it
And explore the boundless possibilities
The golden opportunity calls for you
To discard the life that you once knew
For finding what you seek in the unknown
Needs for you to shed your shield
Outro I
There is another world
Lying underneath the veil of reality (There is another world)
Waiting for you to uncover it
And explore the boundless possibilities
The golden opportunity calls for you
To discard the life that you once knew (The golden opportunity)
For finding what you seek in the unknown
Needs for you to shed your shield
Outro II
There is another world (Waiting for you to uncover it)
The golden opportunity (Needs for you to shed your shield)
Outro III
The unearthly light from this mirror
Strikes unknown fears in my heart
Yet the uncertainty of it all
Marches me forward in a trance

Untimely Tidings
Verse I
White palace above all
None can escape her sight
She finds a dark horse in Ophelia
One that can destroy this beautiful utopia
Lord Erkens, the Boy and the Gift are united
As the prophecy is coming into realization
The unworthy of our cleansing
Are now taking up arms and prolonging the inevitable
Pre-Chorus I
Such untimely tidings
Can only be answered by swift action
Gather your best men
Find them Gotreich and bring them to me
So that I may have the satisfaction
Of spilling their blood onto my chalice
Chorus I
As God decrees that I am the Sword
And His hand shall guide me swiftly
While the Blade screams down
And cuts away all filth in its way
Verse II
Their jet-black stains
Shall not blemish this wonderful utopia
I will do everything in my power
To find the Boy and the Gift
For God has willed Lord Erkens
To cleanse this world
Of the impure and unworthy
As Man is destined to endure above all
Pre-Chorus II
Such untimely tidings
Can only be answered by swift action
We should make haste
For we should not prolong the cleansing
Burn all that you see
So they can no longer hide anymore
Chorus II
As God decrees that I am the Shield
My sole purpose is to protect the Sword
Subject myself to pain and agony
As I receive the first strike
Leaving the Sword free to attack
As the purifying slash sears all filth in its path
Bridge I
This kingdom is in dire need for cleansing
For Hell has room for their kind
These abominations that dare tread in this world
Have no room as Man is destined to rule
Bridge II
My King desires to obey the will of God
As He blessed Man to prevail above all
They come to strike back at us
But Hell has no room for God-blessed men
Outro III
As God decrees that I am the Sword
And His hand shall guide me swiftly
While the Blade screams down
And cuts away all filth in its way
Outro IV
As God decrees that I am the Shield
My sole purpose is to protect the Sword
Subject myself to pain and agony
As I receive the first strike
Leaving the Sword free to attack
As the purifying slash sears all filth in its path
Outro V
As God decrees that I am the Sword
As God decrees that I am the Shield
Together we shall work as one
To purify and cleanse this land for good!
======================================================= 
Thoughtful Whispers Between Two Worlds
Verse I
The slowing pace
Allows my eyes to take in everything new
I stare at my savior
As her otherworldly grace is unlike anything I know
Her eyes meet with mine
When we stop along the shores of this foreign lake
I can already tell
There is much to learn from each other
Bridge I
Though I know my eyes are not failing me
Her butterfly wings and porcelain skin
Make me realize that it is I who is the stranger
That it is I who is completely foreign to her
Verse II
This boy strikes my curiosity
His form is unlike anything I have encountered
He speaks in Man’s tongue
Yet he does not speak in the same harsh manner
As we peer into each other
His eyes tell me he has not been tainted by His black touch
I can already tell
There is much to learn from each other
Bridge II
His eyes tell me he has never seen my kind before
His strange clothing and arctic blue eyes
Makes me realize that this is all strange to him
That it is I who is completely foreign to him
Chorus I
Our worlds are now entwined into one thread
From this moment on until the gears stop ticking
Destiny has placed us to be here and now
The only thing we need is to understand why
Bridge III
Why have I been summoned here?
(Perhaps he is the one the prophecy foretells)
Then this comradeship is not as strange as we thought
(Such beauty that ventures far beyond my imagination)
I believe this is what my heart and soul is yearning for
(The Boy and the Gift are united once again)
You wouldn’t believe even if I told you so
(I cannot even fathom what lies ahead)
Chorus II:
Our worlds are now entwined into one thread
From this moment on until the gears stop ticking
We shall go wherever the road guides us
In order for us to find out why we are placed together.
Outro I
Two worlds bound by the same thread
From now on we are entwined under the same star
For our unbreakable bond transcends time and the heavens
Nothing shall overcome us as we will correct the King’s mistakes
Outro II
Two worlds bound by the same thread
(We are the bridge between our worlds)
From now on we are entwined under the same star
(The very one that streaked across God’s canvas)
For our unbreakable bond transcends time and the heavens
(I believe right here and right now)
Nothing shall overcome us as we will erase the King’s mistakes
(For the Boy and the Gift are united once again)
======================================================= 
The Calm Before The Storm
Verse I
Oppressed beings of Ophelia
The time has come for us to take arms
No longer are we to be enslaved
For He created us to be equals
We shall not let them
Treat us like caged beast for their amusement
As they cower behind their wretched King
We have something far worse in store for them
Pre-Chorus I
Rise up against them!
Our very nature screams at us to do so
For it is calling us to restore order
For Man needs us as much as we need Man
Chorus I
The hour draws near
For Twilight is at hand
Clear a path for the Boy and the Gift
For they shall usher a new era of peace
Bridge I
Grant them mercy
But do not let your edge grow dull
For every movement requires sacrifice
Do not fail them now
Verse II
Brothers of our Lord
The time has come to silence the impure forever
No longer should they even exist
For it was not He who created them
We shall not show any
For those that are not Man do not deserve any
As their ill-fated Boy and Gift draw near
They have sealed their fate as they dare to rise against us
Pre-Chorus I
Rise up against them!
Our very nature screams at us to do so
For it is calling us to restore order
For Man needs us as much as we need Man
Chorus I
The hour draws near
For Twilight is at hand
Clear a path for the Boy and the Gift
For they shall usher a new era of peace
Bridge I
Grant them mercy
But do not let your edge grow dull
For every movement requires sacrifice
Do not fail them now
Bridge II
Is this how it ends?
Or did it even begin?
Can we save them all?
CAN WE SAVE ANY AT ALL!?
Bridge III
Look now my King,
The Boy and the Gift has revealed themselves!
We should destroy them once and for all
Leave no light for the filth to hold
Bridge IV:
If they are slain now
The Cycle will repeat again
I know how to finish the Cycle for good
That needs to occur during Twilight
I am the key to their destruction
So let them come to face their maker!
Bridge V:
Crimson mists
Stain this white castle
I cannot bear it anymore
But we must go on
Pre-Chorus I
Rise up against them!
Our very nature screams at us to do so
For it is calling us to restore order
For Man needs us as much as we need Man
Chorus I
The hour draws near
For Twilight is at hand
Clear a path for the Boy and the Gift
For they shall usher a new era of peace
Bridge I
Grant them mercy
But do not let your edge grow dull
For every movement requires sacrifice
Do not fail them now
Outro I
Rise up against them
For Man needs us as much as we need Man
