The Grey Realms - Lost In Grey

Choir

Feel the silence creep in, it infiltrates our minds

Feel the greyness sneak in, infecting our hearts

Patrick

Let me introduce myself, as I’m your only friend:

I’m the light, the King of Ghouls, the one your mind sent

Odessa

Greetings my child, let me introduce myself:

a voice of insanity

What happens in your head, stays in your head

Don’t trust the voice that’s telling you

to wake up from the dream

Lillian

I’m the one who lost her words

found my way to this world

It cast a shadow

hanging over me

It’s tearing me apart

this sickened hopeless me

Is there a cure for us?

I’m going under

Patrick

Fall asleep while you can still dream of better worlds

Odessa

Finally you see those miracles

you spent your years longing for

(Years longing for)

Choir

Feel the silence creep in, it infiltrates our minds

Feel the greyness sneak in, infecting our hearts

Narrator

Oh, sweet Lillian

Find your way back, redeemed

One cannot stay in a dream for all eternity

You must resist the night

You have to fight

Let the flame inside you burn

Don’t let it fade away

Lillian

I’m the one who lost the day

drowned and drifted away

There is a paradise

where I am stronger

The place I called my home

forgotten — for I know:

There is no cure for us

only destruction

Odessa

Walk through the gates where glory awaits

Beauty replacing rain and the Grey

Patrick

Ah, it is time — say goodbye

You will stay here in «Paradise»

Close your eyes

Leave behind the weakness, arise

Narrator

Once again a dead-end

yet another defeat

when you see, apprehend

that the Grey was already in Thee

Narrator and Lillian

You could not find beauty

nor justice in the daytime

Tried to escape, found nothing but new lies

Darkness that surrounds us

could become daylight

despite the rain falling from the sky

Wish I had found beauty

Rain keeps falling down from the sky

Darkness is surrounding

Rain keeps falling down from the sky

Choir

Homo homini lupus est

Lupus est homo homini

Patrick and Choir

«All hope abandon ye who enter here»

But hope was gone, as one can see

from mankind’s history

Odessa

No nightmare as awful as days in reality

No monster has means to compete in cruelty

Tragedy lies in actions, in our hands

Hell is on earth

Man’s the wolf of fellow man

And it goes on

Choir

Too late for regrets

Too late for games and bets

Too late to make amends

Here’s how the story ends

Odessa and Choir

You tried your best without success —

one cannot blame your need to rest

Ignorance can be a bless —

just staying safe in one’s own nest

The world is crumbling into parts

The cold infects the warmth of hearts

Man’s desire to hurt and crush

means: world’s ending in a rush

Good people are the ones to blame —

the inevitable is just delayed

The ones who offered help and aid —

they easily get lost in the Grey

As land and man is just a prey

all those who did not get and gain

gather for one last prayer

Narrator and Lillian

You could not find beauty

nor justice in the daytime

Tried to escape, found nothing but new lies

Darkness that surrounds us

could become daylight

despite the rain falling from the sky

Wish I had found beauty

Rain keeps falling down from the sky

Darkness is surrounding

Rain keeps falling down from the sky
