Aetos Songtext
von Elidi

Ten years to play, ten to prepare
Ten more and the cracks appear
Learn to look and then to see to grow
And once you see you start to know
(and once you know, you know)
You can run, you can hide
But once it has its hooks in you
You′ll never again close your eyes
First a crack, it opens wide, and in it comes
A black-winged bird joining you inside

Take a stand, don the chains
Ascend from underground
Face the sky, show your side
And call the eagle down


Then daybreak comes
And with it, the nightmare
I've seen the fire
And coveted from below
(cos once you know, you know)
Stolen down to bring me light and heat and heady delight
But surprise, surprise
The shadow it cast
Far beyond
The silhouettes and outlines

Take a stand, don the chains
Ascend from underground
Face the sky
And call the eagle down
Down
Down
Down

Maybe that′s what you get for living
Maybe that's what you get for being alive
Maybe that is what you get for daring to draw a breath in the light
You can never go back
Once you know, you know
Once you know, you know
Once you know, you know
Once you know, you know


Born under a colourless sky
Cold and empty to the eye
A wide horizon
Now endless and high
Moored for a moment then cast aside
Alone, to wither and die
A fine amaranthine tide
O! That Hadean night

Take a stand, don the chains
Ascend from underground
Face the sky
