Avaha ira tulin Aratar lacanta Cuivië i cálë ter Lindëlorenlambë Scintilla radians lux Quod vitam aspirat Omnia et nihil radix Lucis ex universum Shine on radiant light from The source of all and one Set them free from the veil Of the embracing dark dawn Death comes though does not stay Time illusions astray In the heat of the heart Black and white turns to grey Rise in life eternal Nothing contains the whole Truth is more than symbols Maya's not a temple Flame that burns forever Love in this endeavor Lights the Magic path of Life wisdom craving hearts Kindled soul pieces of The one that leads the all To the enlightened Shore Free of pain and sorrow The lights lit the depths of darkness To unchain its own collapse Particles of a higher mind Nurturing the life we know Sephiroth in chaos collide Melting into another bound To a god that's burst with light Angel's dust is dripping down United as one In a perfection paradox Divided by zero We try to become as before Biding the time Can make life without light once more Scared we see a new order grows Out of the impending chaos Only one ruling all The forces that once formed us Conscience of what is being As a sudden breath to stillborn Into life we were awake Ingrown just to break United as one In a perfection paradox Divided by zero We try to become once more Bidding the soul Can make us awake as before Divided we'll be one We always shared the same heart Light made you blind To the truth: as a star you were born Just look to the sky Together we'll enlighten the shore Divided, I’m one But we all share the same core Fire made you cold To the truth, as a torch you were born To unveil the shades Covering the mysteries of love
2.	Radiant 06:36	lyrics	buy track
Here we stand Staring at each other In face of the world That shades our holding hands Here we are Watching all the light grows And the first glance Of this rising universe And these shadows devour our souls But the angels of light will follow us Guarding the way with the sacred light Radiant, we rise! The night was cold as death Her naked body trembling She receives the blood bath And then starts the whispering "It’s good to respect old gods The rite has begun Hear our names In the voice of the heathen" "The darkness prisons your heart Making you decay from the end to start You're sweating, you're bleeding, You’re human" And these shadows devour our souls But the angels of light will follow us Guarding the way with the sacred light Radiant, we fight Fight for our place at the sun The sum of our forgotten tears Could dry a river in needless despair And here you are staring at me That's what I remember we used to be Radiant, poisoned souls Lucifer, to hell we go And these shadows devour our souls But the angels of light will follow us Guarding the way with the sacred light Radiant, we fight And die

You made my world reappear A carriage of joy drew away my fears We used to be as one But now we’re half apart Sad statues all fade to gray But you can make me smile anyway We used to be as one But now we’re half apart Some dreams are never meant to be fed They should be buried alive before we’re dead When this madness comes to an end You will pretend you hurt yourself by hurting me A hurricane of thoughts Stringing down my voice We used to be as one But now we’re fallen apart Locked in a room of pain Dark as the love that still remains We used to be as one But now we’re fallen apart Some dreams are never meant to be fed They should be buried alive before we’re dead When this madness comes to an end You will pretend you hurt yourself by hurting me And I wonder what brings you down I’d like to fight it, but I don’t know how Feeling so weak since you left me I can breathe at all And I ask why we need this pain Losing ourselves in this stupid game Another heart is broken Forget it all, forget it all! Let’s just live our lives Forget it all, forget it all! We don’t need to waste more time Forget it all, forget it all, Forget it all! But keep on loving you Some dreams are never meant to be fed They should be buried alive before we’re dead When this madness comes to an end You will pretend you hurt yourself by hurting me
4.	Edge of Madness 05:28	lyrics	buy track
We are like gods upon earth Why to forgive those we distrust? Why not to climb god’s throne And take back the crown that is mine by right? Must the thorn be slit from the rose for its beauty to be seen? Is restraint the only path to reach the real freedom? Love is a razor, Love is the edge of madness Drive yourself into Into the depths of madness Don't grieve for this long gone past Go your way and forget mine at last How's hard to see shadows or light from my side A caliban mind with fenrir's might And now, I'll begin to beg See the mirrors that I shattered Not to see the beast inside Love is a razor, Love is the edge of madness Drive yourself into Into the depths of madness Love is a razor, Love is the edge of madness Drive yourself into Into the depths of madness Love is a razor, Love is the edge of madness Drive yourself into Into the depths of madness
5.	For Our Best 05:37	lyrics	buy track
I've been bringing the storm over fields All the roads I follow now are sealed The wounds I cast now are healed And now is time To look back To look back! The land is scorched where I touch All my will here is not enough In this land of men all is hate and love And that hurts... And that hurts! Today is the day to think of the past No while to put away our masks The rain is falling and road is fast All I think... I think... Is for our best! For our best! I've been hammering the wall for sometime I've been drifting the words outta line We’ve got one chance only to burn and shine Shine... Shine! Our mistakes, you can see, they don't last No time to waste chances and work in test No time to think or wait, our die is cast Is cast... Is cast! Today is not the day to think of the past No while to put away our masks The rain is falling and road is fast All I think... I think... Is for our best! Today is not the day to think of the past No while to put away our masks The rain is falling and road is fast All I think... I think... is for our best!

There, blue eyes, eyes in the dark That chases my soul Memoirs of a life A life that fades fades for me Feel her breath on my neck Her skin on my skin And dream in the night Feel the truth deviates And turns to lie A lie that exploits Her tears are falling for me All I feel Estranged inside, blowing inside But I know that someday I'll regret The pain that I’ve caused But now I know I have to go for me The pain that you feel, The lust that I feel Connected by fate, Magnetic There, blue eyes in the dark, Eyes in the dark That haunts my soul There her skin over mine, Her skin over mine, So impure Eyes that are so mine, Always mine, Till the end of mine Let the sun fade again, Fade in the west One last time for us Touch no more Feel no more Scream no more Time is short Love no more Lust no more Far from the shore Time is short… All I feel Estranged inside, blowing inside But I know that someday I'll regret The pain that I’ve caused But now I know I have to go for me The pain that you feel, The lust that I feel Connected by fate, Magnetic

Her hair smells like the springtime Over places I've never knew And her eyes are like twin suns Over Saharan dunes Even despising reality For not believing I still love you More than anything, anything Je t'aime tant, Je t'aime plus que tout Many times we lay our heads in our beds For many hours we keep trying to forget How we’ve done wrong with our hearts You can’t forget I loved you from the start My life needed to run, And you needed to stay I don’t blame you, But I can’t forget you And in the far turn that splits the far way We said goodbye and turned away When the show starts, I sing a pray for my soul Just when I die to stay with you, I can’t let you go Oh, all the songs I sing Oh, all the prizes I win Are for you
8.	Prison of Vices 04:25	lyrics	buy track
What is this voice in my head? It's tearing me apart! A choir of a thousand voices Hiding me the way I am enslaved to new patterns Of solitude again! A whole world crumbles when I force you out of me! From the day I met you 'till the day I die You're feeding the vicious snake That rules our paradise! No gasping no more No choking no more When we're out of this hell! Condemned to death we shall find life When we find ourselves apart From each other's life! Now I come to you, you little liar Don't ever think that I will tire I will pursue you to the corners of hell I'll hunt you down and make you pay For all my hopes that you have slain And maybe then it will all end well From the day I met you 'till the day I die You're feeding the vicious snake That rules our paradise! No gasping no more No choking no more When we're out of this hell! Condemned to death we shall find life When we find ourselves apart From each other's life! How could you have behaved like that? I can't even look into your eyes anymore! Your hatred etches my skin And all the pleasure turns to sore! No gasping no more No choking no more When we're out of this hell! Condemned to death we shall find life When we find ourselves apart From each other's life!

I see you always glancing in the mirror When you wake from bed at night What is that you starring at Is this how's your real life? The rage inside Is almost tearing you apart She came bringing new colors To this fading grey skyline A dream that heals from pain A man is free again I'm waiting I'm praying I'm searching for this truth that lies Between the lines of reality The choice is up to you and me You're always spreading lies and evil When you speak about the way you live This path of blood and tears Restraint and discipline And in the end You will always be a failure You are the blinding ray of light Of this dark sun The enemy of god And all mankind I'm preying I'm haunting I'm dying and there's nothing you Can do about the wrath I feel For this empty world we knew We've faded Surrounded Sunk in lies But we shall fight Until the end, and then again For the freedom For mankind
10.	Plot Against Humanity 06:07	lyrics	buy track
I can't write about battles long gone I can't write about singing with no song But I can tell histories Of how this feeling grows alone I know that god is up there Staring at my cold face I'm guilty of crimes against the human race But let me tell you what I think About this fucking madness we live in A world disgraced b brutal wars I killed love inside your heart And made yours as cold as mine We are ashamed, We don't look at the stars Then tell me we can change it all Tell me we can destroy the wall Between the earth and the sky Lay our lies! I was concealed in an anger-passion paradox All that we built with love in one night was lost Shattered my heart and soul Got no more nowhere to go Devil's now taking his toll Then tell me we can change it all Tell me we can destroy the wall Between the earth and the sky Lay our lies!

The lights were fading down Through the window the moon rose And the signs shone on the wall As the fire shone on the rose Made of gold, kept the heart Born of a thousand evils, strengthened the warp Of these thousand years Lighted by the within war Choose the keys Take the time No one sees Everyone lies For the eternals shall survive In the memories forever The choices let us alone And there is no shelter For the ones to rule the world All is gone! No emotion No more passion Take my pressure All is dead, there's just obsession! Drunk of sand Fed with mud My lil'devil left, but all stood I just can't live of this love eternally For the shine of your eyes Took my soul away You stood in my heart after all How can that be? As my soul is as new as the everyday sunrise You forgot the bodies where you lived before For no one can maintain the wise Except from me The guardian of the shore of the Hell's river As I hear the dead lore My lost wings take me back to my old paradise Back to your arms my dear beloved queen Goddess, Lover Where I shall lie Till God calls me back In the Judgment’s Day No emotion No more passion Take my pressure All is dead, there's just obsession! Drunk of sand Fed with mud My lil'devil left, but all stood I just can't live of this love eternally For the shine of your eyes Took my soul away

about

The CD is called "I" (for "I" as the first person in singular, or the number one) and it’s mostly about the ongoing struggles of the man who lives in the ego, separated from the unity – but in constant pursuit of it.

Ankhalimah is a pun of three words: Ankh, Kalimah, and Ancalima. Ankh is the key of life, the Egyptian symbol associated with eternity. Kalimah means literally “word” Arabic, as in Six Kalimah’s of Islam. Ancalima is Elvish (Sindarin) for "brightest / radiant" (as in "Aya Ëarendill Elenion Ancalima").

The album is divided in three groups of songs, being:
I – The Creation and its consequences:
Ankhalimah.
The Radiant.
The Edge of Madness.
Plot Against Humanity.
Valentine (The Judgment’s Day).
II – Love.
Two Edged.
The Edge of Madness.
Magnetic.
Nell Mezzo Del Camin.
III – Hate (or Ego).
Prison of Vices.
Vampire.
And For Our Best, which is about freedom.
