Weight 11:39
Aeolus, awake Here in this place, where we all come to rest In a coffin Arms wide open, forever dreaming of a former place Forever dreaming of the emptiness of consciousness The weight of consciousness will forever fade away. The weight will push you to your knees Like the wind that pushes through the trees The weight will push you to your knees This spark has withered with the passing days And we wait for all of this to fade away. Carry me away with the racing winds Trampled by horses in the sky To the island in the corner of the sea Where no one will have to leave To the sea, where no one will have to leave

Bronze Walls 07:36
Aeolus, awake Behind the ancient stone, held back by time Waiting for a whisper in the corner of your mind Aeolus, keeper of the wind, summon your armies Release the gale to end us all Trapped in these bronze walls. Without a single doubt, he gripped the ancient key Put it in the lock and opened to face eternity Aeolus, keeper of the wind, summon your armies Release the gale to end us all Trapped in these bronze walls Aeolus, awake.

Is it the north wind that screeches in the night? Is it the time that takes you by surprise? The hanged one mutters a sigh, deaf to the fanfare. At midnight the moon glistens in the sky Like a shield banner strewn with bees I heard a harmony that haunts my sleep, A murmur, the saddest voice. Like a face, burned like wax at a candle's end. The bell tolls from the walls of the city under the horizon And the corpse of the hanged one is reddened by the sun I heard a harmony that haunts my sleep, A murmur, the saddest voice. At midnight the moon glistens like a banner strewn with bees. You are not the only one to feel this cold You are not the only one to shiver as your body grows cold. You're getting older and you are not the only one Time will take you away from me So turn your sail against the world.
