- Into the Wells of Sorrow
Ghostwinds draw forth the clouds
That will shroud me in black forever.
Once again I stare into the night;
Darkness binds my life and death together.
The dark clouds, a portrait of her;
The black cloaked face of death.
Her empty eyes, a hallway to heaven,
- Epistle No. 81
Mark how our shadow, mark Movits mon fre're
One small darkness encloses
How gold and purple that shovel there
To rags and rubbish disposes
Charon beckons from tumultous waves
Then trice this ancient digger of graves
For thee ne're grapeskin shall glister
Wherefore my Movits come help me to raise
- Epistle No.81
Mark how our shadow, Mark Movits, mon freer
One small darkness encloses
How gold and purple that shovel there
To rags and rubbish disposes
Charon beckons from tumultuous waves
Then trice this ancient digger of graves
For thee ne'er grape skin shall glister
- Finality
I'd spent a lifetime reaching for the stars above
Yearning for the one who I'd always dreamed of
Then you came to me in winter's cold slumber
An angel with eyes glowing embers
My one, my all
I'd do anything for you my love
My heart belongs to you
- Hour Of Reprisal
Your empty promises have left only ruin
The deepest truths through silence now spoken
Your coldness cruel will never be forgiven
Murderer of
Heart and spirit
Fate not fire insures this
Torment you shall inherit
- In Aeturnum
Tearstained are the halls of my empty soul,
melancholia`s haunting call is the only one I have known.
Innocence has lead me into this void
while years eroded a youth I never enjoyed
through childhood I slept
unsheltered from the scorn
now, I`ve awakened with age to love ever lorn
forever and ever
- Into the Wells of Sorrow
Ghostwinds draw forth the clouds
That will shroud me in black forever
Once again I stare into the night
Darkness binds my life and death together
The dark clouds a portrait of her
The black-cloaked face of death
Her empty eyes a hallway to heaven
- La Mort d'Amour
The once beautiful flower has withered and gone
it is memory`s charnel vast, that I wepeth on
lifeless, this lonely heart swoons neath my breast
for my tears bring you back, not from silent rest
Lamentation and woe, peace never shall I know
Blood less bitter be than these tears brackish with sorrow
every promise ever born, now lay broken
- Living Sepulchre
I gave myself
until there was
nothing left of me
Yet I never said
no when you
needed me
- Obsessions Now Effigies
Without a word you disappeared
Into your cold like dust of those long dead
Severing the once cohered
Upon our graves I've wept and I have bled
Were you ever really here?
After all how could you leave me here?
- Of Empires Forlorn
Damned, I crawled valleys silenced with death
Through the seas of carnage, over mountains of regret
Reaching solace only to behold barren wastes endless
Just when I needed you the most
You had forsaken me
To this kingdom of ghosts
- Shores of Desolation
A call to the sea,
To cleanse my soul of ill;
Of hate and depression, be freed,
My fate, thus fulfilled.
Summon me forth, the sussuration
Of the blackest tides;
No longer the shores of emptiness
- Sorrow Of The Angels
Небеса плачет моя печаль
Через завесу облаков "из черного кружева
Бесконечности ангелов
Доля tearstreams я вылить
В бури печали
Я буду вечно остаются
Любовь потеряла навсегда
Вы оплакивали этот дождь
- Soulsadness
Sunk into the corner
Where the forlorn drift to die
A broken man is staring into his glass
With weeping eyes
Drinking away this empty life
I'm bleeding to death inside
Torn apart by bladed words
In sorrow capsized
- Suspended At Aphelion
Эпичный, но довольно грустненький павер. "Грусненький" в хорошем смысле слова - на альбоме превалируют среднетемповые и медленные композиции, отчего в тэглайн WHW периодически вписывается doom metal. А это явление, согласитесь, довольно редкое для power'а.
Однако лидовые партии гитар и мужской тенор вполне соответствуют канонам паверных команд, причём довольно прогрессивных - любителям данного направления альбом должен понравиться!

- The Death of Love
The once beautiful flower has withered and gone
It is memory's charnel vast that I weepeth on
Lifeless, this lonely heart swoons 'neath my breast
For my tears bring you back not, from silent rest
Lamentations and woe, peace never shall I know
Blood less bitter be than these tears brackish with sorrow
Every promise ever born now lay broken
- The Furthest Shore
So long ago, I set out to sea, forsaken by god and man
Visions of passion, glory and gold beckoned from distant lands
I left behind all I had known, aspiring to live, love, and conquer
Unaware that these futile pursuits would only yield a drifting sepulchre
Desperate
I have traversed
The seas of
Sorrow
- The Mourning
He who lives twixt pain, pain and despair
Dwelleth 'neath the doom dark clouds forbear
Awainting the fates' warning
I live this life in eternal mourning
My soul was born buried alive
And waits 'til my body 'neath the headstone lie
- Thus with a Kiss I Die
Tears fall from my somber stare
Abandoned and nobody cares
I watched you walk away
As if I were never there
You said you're not the only one in this world
Yet you're the only one I've ever loved
From my sole sanctuary exiled
And likewise heaven above
- To Wander The Void
A million miles from everything the emptiness is everywhere
the lone and level sands stretch as far as I can see
Nothing but the hollowed eyes of skulls and ancient bones despair
remains of those who wandered this wasteland vast before me
Fatigue and famine render every step a tribulation
Beneath the blistering sun sabulous winds just a mockery
Lost within an infinity of dust and desolation
- Vast Oceans Lachrymose
I set my heart out to sea,
Hoping someday my love would return to me,
Yet the years have passed like waves,
And I have fatigued with age,
In lachrymal oceans vast,
Deserts of time have washed away
The passage of time implies progression,
- Vessel
Stranded upon a desperate shore, afraid
that the sea could wash all of our dreams away
into it's everflowing infinity...
or do these tides hold for us sanctuary?
Tonight, will you sail away
with open arms and eyes ablaze?
