Time, precious time A pilgrimage defined A message sealed in gold Destined for the one who knows the king Eluding light among the shadows all around A secret messenger, a herald for the crown I leave this town Looking back at the lives in need of rescue Then forward to the sea The vast expanse Run the gauntlet to the harbor Slip a hand of pence to the shady jack-tar We're headed into the night And with the wind May Poseidon's Fool reach land by light Guard these words I bear Guide my way for the Majesty One long night behind me Across the ocean Morning's new light, shows me roads less traveled And to the mythical Bridge of the Blind, obsidian lines A mirror for the sky, to watch its own eyes Wonder of old, wonder of ages Give me some time, grant me your favor now I shall serve you well somehow One foot forward and let it fall Reflections everywhere, no sight at all My eyes burning deep, but I must go on Time and luck gets me to a place Farther from my home, my home Follow the sound of northern thunder Through the trees and the weeds that rhyme Watching me as I roam, I roam Taunting me with these whispered songs Guard these words I bear Guide my way for the majesty A mission for the realm I have news of gravity Communication lines are alive today Moving information between the boundaries Far from sanctuary Daydreaming of peace Blackened stars Veiled sky Rival footsteps Make no sound I'm passing through the heart Of Assassin's Hollow No way around Walk this wall of fire The scent of my skin Unshrouds my position Sealed words above my head I fall from the light The blood of the King has called for me I am the Messenger On the move again, torches under eyes here Where are you, there's no escape By trade and trial I go, out of sight like ghosts These wasted fears, will never slow me down My place in time, to carry this on Not worried 'bout my dreams tonight Not worried 'bout the way that I must travel I dare to stay awake tonight In fear I'll miss the freedom knocking on my door Many miles away but closer than before

A long cold night beneath the rain again Don't let the burden bury me alive Find away If I have to crawl All the way One lone child, standing in an empty field Hiding 'neath its eyes of black And beckoning to me Undefined Now right beside me Hear me now From the coven of the witch Don't slow me down, I've come too far What do you want from me now Those eyes shown down upon the gold, I hold In surprise, voices cry You may go! Losing light like a spectre's shadow Changing time, she begins to age Fragments fall from her fading form Before too long she'll be far away In the midst of evaporation Something catches my frozen eyes Glowing bright on a silver chain a gemstone key of life Shining like a sun Take the key and forge ahead, her voice circles all around me Soon you'll be in Northland, her light will keep me warm.

Another day another night pastures of green have turned to white I can feel my breath A frozen place, a lonely space Where the undead live and dance Demons wait for someone just like me I must travel quietly Try to forget the cold As I walk alone The world seems so far away I dream of returning one day What I know seems so far away Where is the road Will I find my way home A rapid change, an altered view Through the ice and into the tomb Of truth and bone, what can I do In this cave underground A sense of death surrounds me Nine messengers on the ground Unmoving Master, I am not the only one Gods, I am just another on the run How many more are making this journey It's time to break the mold And see this to the end Down in the dark No one to rescue me The kingdom I love And the majesty Is counting on me When my time is over And the memories take their shape Will I be remembered Evasive alibis and promises Altered by a dream I have the key of life Its light surrounds me Walk to the only door Try the key Collapsing into the floor, I'm free To walk the corridors Remove the key from the door Its life giving light will lead me on Showing me an ancient place A man with a sword in his hands Never to hunt again Knights and thieves have all come looking for their prize Heroes fall and never seen again Inside this hall, a crypt of crystal Prophets and sons are never seen again Despite their calls, a grave for them all Is this my time to see the everdream That haunts my soul, with images of home Watching the key I fall sleep

I wake to the sound of screaming witches Search for the light Of the child who withered one night Our sister's soul is here We feel her power You were given her light for your life Granting you her flame From the everdream Ignite your destiny We know your story well By spirit and mystery Our sister the sorceress guides our way She was our queen She chose to believe in you A candle in the growing darkness We know not the purpose you keep It's not for us to see The painted lover A bard without his eyes Never found their way out Just follow the sound of our shout Led through a hall to a casket on a wall of ivory I feel a chill again, testing my will yet one more time Move my hand to pull the crown Inside I see a truth A vision of hope tomorrow Stepping through the door A road of bones in view One step closer to an ending There's a boundary to the north My guides cannot ignore The coven of old will go no more I run like never before It's all on me I leave this wicked hall And turn to walk away Toward the land of mazes high In the drifts where creatures lie A blightful blizzard Tries to slow me down Wipe away my eyes Labyrinth entries abound Voices whisper in this maze of ice and ground Telling of a dream again Of ages lost in time A time we once remembered In the stories now untold They cling to life in the everdream Now on fire Everything the same around me Even up above Tell me 'bout the dream again Maybe the words will push me towards you Starting to distrust what's natural Maybe there's no end Maybe it's the dream I see again The voices are calling me, for I am the Messenger What are these voices I am not alone I hear the call of everyone The Messengers And once again I'm on fire, these voices on the wind Spirit aflame as they sing again The passageways appear like harmonies I'm finally out Beyond the mazes Will I pass the monsters below Without seeing their faces Over these frozen Crystal hills I am alive I am on fire, a dream coming true Moving much higher, I'll be there soon I am on fire, whoever you are A nameless receiver, there's a message for you Will I find you in the end I'm coming Cresting a dune of snow with more miles to go What do I see, something dark in the distance before me The greatest sight I've ever seen in my questful life A mountain unreal, hiding skies beyond where the gods kneel All existence is compromised A clash for freedom in its shadow Look for avenues, lanes, or lines Any place to move High on a spire, pieces of light come through Shine through High on the spire, I see a spark of truth And I knew, oh yes I knew I'll be there soon

There's a time in our lives when a guiding light comes for you And behold the place it goes when there's not much more time for you And when the light falls you call, come back to me again All the long days and the hard nights I've got no more love for you Take my time Could this be over Take my place Start the climb Follow the signs There's life beyond the reach Heed the power Of the sky I'm under Knolls of white With their staring eyes on me North bound with my head down, I toil to make my way Time lost with no step ahead Time lost if I don't step ahead Journey up the rise to an unknown place Can it feel my heart as I walk its face (Thai spoken words) สี่วันสี่คืนอันแสนเหน็บหนาว ท้องฟ้าไร้ซึ่งหมู่ดาวหนทางช่างอีกยาวไกล แม้จะเหน็ดเหนื่อยแต่ก็ยังต้องเดินก้าวต่อไป หากถอยหลังตอนนี้มีเพียงความตายที่รออยู่ (English translation) Four days and four nights, bitterly cold, The sky devoid of stars, the path stretches endlessly far. Though weary and worn, the journey must continue, For to retreat now is to face embrace of death. Turning to go, there's a monster below Fingers from the earth wrapped around me Can I run for the light Maybe I'll die And maybe I'll dream of you The beast head appeared A yeti it's clear Staring with a yearning smile He's been here for quite awhile Says he's in fear Alone and in tears Looking for a god to fight for Child of the night, maybe I'll fight for you Are you a god of the light, maybe I'll fight for you I am no god, I am a Messenger I am a conduit of kings And I am on a mission Tell me the secrets of the mountain And I'll show you the god that you seek The god I call the wonder of old, the wonder of the ages I was caught on a bridge and I could not see a thing Then I called out with promises to show me the way And free me from this fire Where are you I said I would return Here's one lost soul And I give it to you Because you saved me At the bridge, the Bridge of the Blind Warm winds, from the mystic world, fall on me Warm winds, from the yeti world, clearing me a way To the light through the rain I'm on the trail, no looking back Finally moving The beast is baring down with our lives Leading us both higher Yet another cold, cold wind Punishes wandering souls with thunder Taunting the depths of sorrow Fighting these words I say The final ascension, I'm at the mountaintop My message in hand At the lighthouse of the world The lightning strikes Can I trust my burned out eyes Or just a vision in high disguise? I've arrived on solid level ground Lift my head and gaze all around I am here All this light surrounds me I hear a voice, I hear it clear Open the message and my name appears I'm one of the chosen to start a new world There are others here, many Messengers made the journey This was all about us, we were chosen to live and live free More were chosen but were lost On this mission of ours The kingdom we knew so well Is soon to be gone We were meant to find this hidden place It's the only way to save the human race Staring down at vibrant valleys A fortune wide, a virtual utopia To start again in peace and serenity The king knew the few who would survive The Bridge of the Blind, a ship on the ocean The key of light, brought me here And witches from other worlds, and all the pain To live again We live another life, we remember who we are Our history carries on, our family in our hearts We live another life and remember who you were We live this new life, we remember who you were We live this new life, we remember who we are We are the Messengers WE ARE MESSENGERS!
