Lyrics

(Chapter I: "BEACONS")

There is a voice in our sleep
It repeats the same words all through the night
Not unlike a guiding beacon
Showing us the way to the dreamers' domes
We do not know the language it speaks
But we understand it
As if it was our own

"Hün Ayuserïs"
At the turning…

"Do Reis'moran"
…of the tides

"Lüs Aena"
The bronzen light…

"Drome Uy'n"
…will guide you to…

"Celephaïs"
…Celephaïs

“Hün Ayuserïs Do Reis'moran
Lüs Aena Drome Uy'n Celephaïs”

(Chapter II: "THE SPELL")

Tempest Divinity,
Ocean Tyrant!

From moss-covered temples
In lurking ageless slumber
Bruised and torn
The Voice growls a warning
A Toll must be payed
By the dreamers
Who dare approach
the infinite shallows of Fate

Harvester
From the Depths!

Chanting
Evocating
Giving shape
Giving
Birth

Extoll
Breathe in
Submerge

(Chapter III: "THE AUGURS' PROMISE")

Down beneath halls of darkness
There's a light that cannot be named
And those who lay their eyes upon it
They are never the same
And like the turning of a tide
They are doomed to quest

The furthest reaches of the Ashlands
Fearing not pain nor death
For the promise of the Augurs
In black lava engraved:

“Hün Ayuserïs Do Reis'moran
Lüs Aena Drome Uy'n Celephaïs”

(Chapter IV: "REACHING CELEPHAÏS")

Then finally
As if in a dream
An opening appears
In the misty horizon

As the clouds part sideways
Revealing the shape
Of a giant city
High above the waves

Our ultimate Sanctuary
I can see it now
The land that was promised
A new beginning

Diamond domes
And ivory towers
The sapphire roads
The Street of Pillars

Gives us back
What we have lost
Crystal is my heart

Forever reaching
Celephaïs
