Little Alice strayed from her world Deceived by a lie, into a path with no return A promise, the black book had told Eternity, is what she aimed for Oh, such strange wonders are what I see! The gate once opened, now closed has welcomed me Is this a mirage or fever dream? Oaken trees now surround me I'm falling deeper in Toxic spores dance in the air The darkness glares with vile intent I hold my breath as I push on I hold no fear for this poison So many nights I've spent without sleep I seek the power, it beckons me Monstrous mushrooms block my path I shall obtain that which is mine My conscience lured in by the call Of the black book that I must find I've seen it before in my dreams The words within, oh, so tempting The end of my humanity Eternal life is what I seek The magic that lays deep within Will save me from eternal sleep I'll cut the puppet strings of all The maggots that roam inside me The Grimoire now floats before me Its power is pulling me in I tremble as I take it in Now the ultimate power is mine! These wonders, these wonders. They belong to me! Oh, Alice can't you see? These wonders are not meant for mortals to see Take heed of my call There is no returning from this path you seek Your 'eternity' Will come at the cost of your humanity Don't fall down the hole The power you crave for will not make you whole This is a gateway to all my dreams It's pulling at my soul from the seams Eternity's in my grasp I shall take on the task To rid myself of earthly impurity Oh, dear Alice...The mad hatter is waiting... Oh, Alice can't you see? These wonders are not meant for mortals to see Take heed of my call There is no returning from this path you seek Your 'eternity' Will come at the cost of your humanity Don't fall down the hole The power you crave for will not make you whole And so, the void consumed her soul Her own humanity given away as toll The tale concluded, as had been foretold What has been lost Shall not be regained Nevermore These wonders, these wonders. They belong to me! Oh, Alice can't you see? These wonders are not meant for mortals to see Take heed of my call There is no returning from this path you seek Your 'eternity' Will come at the cost of your humanity Don't fall down the hole The power you crave for will not make you whole!

自由くれた 君の魔法 今も糸でココロ縛る 空っぽの胸が痛い 痛いよ I still have something I don't know. Is my intention based on freedom of mind? You solved me. But was it true freedom? There's no value in the place you're not. Anywhere but nowhere. Wherever I went, I couldn't go anywhere. Call my name until it can be heard. I need nothing anymore. Because I can’t hold anymore. 笑顔くれた 君の魔法 今も糸でカラダ縛る 空白の胸が痛い 痛いよ どこへだって行けるのに 隣にいない 君想う 物言わない人形のよう If you lie, your nose will grow. Just kidding. Fuckin' impossible. I'm injured if I wear glass shoes. I don't want to kiss the beast or frog. Mermaids are just fish. Where is the production area of the apples? I became fearful of believing in anything. You're caught up in fiction and don't look at it. You have to face the reality even if it's too painful now 光くれた 君の魔法 今も糸でココロ縛る 偽りの胸が痛い 痛いよ 人の形を真似てただけの 私は今も 鳥籠に 囚われた人形のよう

High upon the peak Rests a shrine chained between two worlds Where wayward souls return to form And a young maiden refers to home Generations Of protectors have graced this land Each left their mark before their ends Forgotten to time Farewell [Subchorus] Once beyond The boundary between our dreams Reality.. Melts into.. Fantasy.. Wander.. Through a land that can't be seen Again.. [Chorus] Embrace The sky To face death in the night Demons At play Will face the light We’ll carry on Through darkened days And rise again To pass the flame [Main Verse] From embers Forged by threads of fate Gives way to the dawn of a new age Led by the maiden made of dreams Vessel of the gods Donning the burdens of this world Brings peace across the eastern winds In red and white (With pride!) [Akemi - Subchorus - 2:18] Once beyond The boundary between our dreams Reality.. Melts into.. Fantasy.. Wander.. Through a land that can't be seen Again.. [Chorus] Embrace The sky To face death in the night Demons At play Will face the light We’ll carry on Through darkened days And rise again To pass the flame [Alternate Bridge - 3:34] Oh Life tends to slip away (Life tends to slip away) Oh Will my fate be the same? (Will my fate be the same as…) Feel the weight Of everything Melt away In an instant all of time stands still Deep within my soul I am infinite Be one with the flow of fantasy [Realmweaver - solo] [Final Chorus] Through each life Sanctified Bore the weight of countless lives Held their hearts In their hands To carry the torch We’ll carry on Through darkened days And rise again To pass the flame [Encore] Now the hands of time spin once again To live, to die, to join the Eastern wind I’ll carry on Through darkened days And rise again To be the flame

Forgo thy flesh Submit your soul Lay bare your insides for this blood oath Eternity has never felt.. So CLOSE Behold thy truth Unveil your sight Seek the void through my hymns tonight Immortalized through viscera I'll cloak the world Forevermore -------- Now dawns the last day of your lives Repent in your gluttony Renounce your pride Now farewell to all of mankind Your sins endowed Your fate is mine -------- Forgo Your Flesh Forgo thy Soul Forgo yourself to me, Every ounce of your blood Every morsel Every moment Every breath that you took Mine. Forever. Repentance Denied. I’ll gorge on your essence And make this world mine -------- And so as our priestess treads deeper into the jaws of darkness An overbearing presence suffocates the air around her For the ruins within this demonic sanctum offers only the taste.. of death [Subchorus] The skies have fallen And hell hath unleashed A moment of ethereal bliss Now beckons me To seek out The end of your line This kinship of maidens Defies the divine [Chorus Version 1] "Now until the light leaves your eyes I'll rip out your innards and tear out your spine To witness the end blessed by these devout hands Is a fate most sacred Now until the moment you die To bathe in thine blood Your soul sanctified Holy retribution Sinful execution Find peace in your virtuous demise" EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE- Repent (((SA-CRI-FICE))) (((SO-DO-MIZE))) Desecrate All that lives All that breathe All who fear Left to rot In their filth In their fates In the truth Now dawns the last day of your life Repent in your gluttony Renounce your pride Now farewell to all of mankind NOW UNTIL THE MOMENT WE DIE Farewell to your last memories And farewell to earthly ties All returns to nothing As we embrace that faint light That frees us from mortal coil And bestows our demise —solo— Soaked in the blood of her kind Her very essence is at the mercy of the Angel of Death However, our lone shrine maiden still stands.. Undeterred [Subchorus] The skies have fallen And hell hath unleashed A moment of ethereal bliss Now beckons me To seek out The end of your line Mother Bear witness! [Chorus Version 2] "Now until the light leaves your eyes I'll rip out your innards and tear out your spine To witness the end blessed by these devout hands Is a fate most sacred Now until the moment I dier To bathe in thine blood My soul sanctified Holy retribution Sinful execution Find peace in your virtuous demise"

I fear this world descends far from reality Drenched in the horrors of fantasy Take heed my friend for your death is not but a dream Lingering spectre, a faint memory Lost to times long forgotten your fate is left to chance Our souls are torn apart Split between worlds Our souls are torn apart Beyond our reach Our souls are torn apart Within our hearts Our souls are torn apart in black and white.. Welcome your Bleeding Daydream Another Fading Fantasy Last chance to roll the dice or face your death on this cruel night Take heed my friend for your life is not what it seems Lured to sleep, your mind has drifted into a place between boundaries Our souls are torn apart Split between worlds Our souls are torn apart Beyond our reach Our souls are torn apart Within our hearts Our souls are torn apart in black and white.. Her scythe kissed the nape of my neck My last moment veiled in truth [Solo - Plagueling Nagatomo] Transcend these memories Destiny has begun Our souls are torn apart Split between worlds Our souls are torn apart Beyond our reach Our souls are torn apart Within our hearts Our souls are torn apart in black and white.. Welcome your Bleeding Daydream Another Fading Fantasy Bleeding Bleeding Bleeding Daydream Bleeding Bleeding Bleeding Daydream

Out of my way Each time's always the same Get out of my way It's always the same No time for your childish games Just take your stuff and go One day you will learn The world does not revolve around you You're always nosy Always getting in the way Go away, uncool shrine maiden Find somewhere to pray Falling petals scatter down our path As we're trapped in this chaotic dance Like two lilies in the water Competing for sunlight Oh, dear friend Alas, we must clash Our feelings become stardust Please know, I may hurt you But I won't resent you I am tired of you You're not my friend Stop fighting now, my friend, or we'll say some things we'll regret I'll make you understand the duty that I must bear You will not stop me now My business here is only mine If you're my real friend You will turn back Let me fly "You always love to make things difficult, don't you?" "Ugh, you're so annoying!" "I'm trying to do my job here!" "Well, maybe, you'd do a good one for once if you stopped bothering me!" "Oh, I don't need job advice from a freaking thief!" "What you need is to mind your own damn business!" "You are so insufferable! You're childish, selfish and disrespectful!" "And you're a stuck-up, lazy shrine maiden with a stick up her arse!" "Bold words coming from an 'Ordinary Magician.'" "That's it! Eat my danmaku you little trash!" "I am so tired of you! You're such a nuisance!" "I hate you! You always ruin everything!" "I do it because I'm your friend!" "Then I guess I don't need friends like you! I wish we'd never met." "..." "I'm sorry. I didn't mean that." "It's fine. We did get a little carried away, didn't we? Sorry about all those things I said back then" "Friends?" "Friends" Falling petals scatter down our path As we're trapped in this chaotic dance Like two lilies in the water Competing for sunlight Oh, dear friend Alas, we must clash (We must clash) Our feelings become stardust (I know I will not resent you) Please know, I may hurt you (I'll never hurt you!) But I won't resent you Deep in your heart You know that I'll always be there for you Right beside you if you were to fall We may have our differences now and then, but we are both the same I'm proud to be your friend!

I am tormented by the thought My mind leads to nowhere All our words are pointless now I'll forget your name Faceless shades They all fade away Into obscurity Wandering souls They crawl Under a black sky Caged by walls of white I loathe the endless silence Haunted by countless false realities That roam inside my head Memories Fading away Lies from birth They decay Darkness rules my life It wears the crown of madness Engulfing everything I have My spirit turns to white Do I know you? Were we close at all? Spiraling in doubt I drown in insecurity Your voice is calling out to me But I've forgotten everything again Haunted by voices in my head The mask begins to break Tabula Rasa Is what I am I fear I've gone insane

And from nothing I was born A mere concept Now cursed with a form Seeking purpose In my solus I found solace through the birthing of light And with patience Came the stars One by one I filled up this cosmos to mend my heart Eons gone by Ages have past Through my own eyes I’ve made this world vast It is through my will That I’ve spread my life Unto everything Forever Infinite forms Endlessly stretching Across time and space Ceaselessly merging Into consciousness Grasping for something A single purpose All desperately seeking A means to an end To justify living So all may ascend To their personal Edens Transcending their sins Countlessly weighing Deeper unto them Such is existence My children Slaughtered at their whim Torn apart and eviscerated Flesh ripped from their bones Seraphim Devout angel of death Bring about the extinction Of this line of kin Corpses Of all that I’ve made Nothing but husks Of what once was alive ((I WILL CONSUME EVERYTHING)) In my hate In my sorrow In vain I will consume everything Fractured are the ties that held this world from my own Shining through it’s cracks gives way for malice to take form Pulsing to the beat of my bleeding heart Festering Deep inside Is the pain For my kind I renounce Humankind From the light Malediction And so it shall be.. Beneath this veil Of all of my hatred Remains a small speck Of my inner nature Reflecting the self Of which I've forgotten Coveting this warmth An infinite longing For a means to an end To justify living A god amongst man Yet still solemnly grieving For all I create Has met with the void Shedding their blood For a world that's devoid Of light And from nowhere I am here Standing atop the remains of these nightmares Seeking succor In my suffering I found silence I found nothing And so I remain.. Dragged from the cosmos and forced into birthright Flesh stripped from magic adorns their new form Each chrysalis demonic, this realm forever tainted With a lust for power, a relentless avarice My light Beckons dimensions Rewrites the void Recalls the heavens Imitating the essence Of what’s just not there Paradise In the darkness Our abyss Oblivion At our fingertips No beginning No end (feat. Nocturne) Infinite forms Endlessly stretching Across time and space Ceaselessly merging Into consciousness Grasping for something A single purpose All desperately seeking A means to an end To justify living So all may ascend To their personal Edens Transcending their sins Countlessly weighing Deeper unto them Such is existence (x2) Smoldering brimstone blankets the earth As hellfire rains from the skies No longer content with the hand I’ve been dealt I’ll make this world mine forever Cut from the heavens Cast from the void A maddening revelation Unveiled An amalgamation Of all that’s to come Of all that shall be And of all that which was (((PANDÆMONIUM))) Consumed by bloodlust And spiraling madness Embracing that call for power Forgoing that light That which granted her life Ensuring a means to an end Life entwined in these hands of fate Reaping the souls of all which I create A decadent rapture bestowed in my name Succumb to the end as we fall from grace Engulfed in flames I curse your name Dog of the gods I’ll drag you down with me This moment eternal.. A final recital.. Forever engraved in the passage of time And so begins... THE DAWN OF A NEW AGE (( t h e d a w n o f a n e w a g e )) Create to destroy
