Prologue: Sent To Earth
03:36

I was born on the cloud, God’s creation, angel’s spawn
Antisocial creature with gift and with might
From cloud to cloud I would jump, from page to page I would turn
Making my world and letting it burn
I’d do it so long that I would see my Master’s frown in front of me
And I’d known that I had gone to far
He’d say: ‘Look what you’ve done, oh, you stubborn one
You really created your little child’
Down on Earth he crawls in dirt and you were the one who gave him birth
You’ll be sent there, the Guardian you’ll become
He’d gave me horned hat as he made me kneel, he’d gave me knee pads made of steel
And my brothers were singing me a song
‘Goodbye, sister, you were sinister
But we will always remember you!’
He’d push me from my home cloud, for months I’ve been falling down
‘Till I crashed in the town of the wild
With bleeding knees and bleeding hands my dearest child I would find
Evil forces were gathering around
Hello madness, hello murky warriors,
I feel a power in my mind
Goodbye serenity, life’s mediocrity
The Warrior Angel’s mission has just begun

The soil is digested with frost, town is covered with ashes
The silence awaits to be broken by first rays of sun
The first day of spring fills our hearts with desire
And I've got a vision that something needs to be done
My child looks at me and his eyes are tender and mellow
And I know he's got something crucial for me to say
'You know, there's a candle and one day it may stop burning
And it may take everything that we know away.'
I feel the terror conquering my mind and my windpipe
Petrifying shiver comes down between my wings
'I promise, my child, that this candle will never stop burning
The dark infinity will never devour our dreams'
I promise, my child, that this candle will never stop burning
The dark infinity will never devour our dreams
And few hours later blessed by the night
Gone is the light, flame's out of sight
The face in the mirror is crying and howling
Keep it rolling, keep it... LIT!
Among mint walls as cold as my hands
There's a dim glow I can't understand
The wick has drown, the fire's gone
Here in the dark we're all alone
I grab a needle and push it to life
My fingers are bleeding, my wings broke down
I burn the match and light it again
It's late and eerily, I lost self-restrain
I send all my energy far to the west
It drains all my power away from my chest
And next day I know the heaven is free
I lit all the candles for you and for me
Don’t cry anymore, we're coming to life
My knees only shake from this deadly strife
I can't understand the miracles I make
But I'll remain by your side as long as it takes
Guardian angel to wash the scars away
Guardian angel to wash the scars...
The soil is digested with frost, town is covered with ashes
The silence awaits to be broken by first rays of sun
The second day of spring fills our hearts with relief
And I got cursed so now I am the one
I am the one

I.
I dare you evil souls, I dare you cursed spirits
If you are so brave come and dance with me
Come here, drink my wine, we are going to feast
While candles still burn my rage will be released
The beast is going out, I’m pulling your strings
I’ll kill you if you don’t stop cutting his wings
My child was born free, my child was born wild
If you take this away you are going to die
I dare you cursed souls, I dare you evil spirits
If you’ve got a pride end this unequal fight
I dare you forever and you know what to do
Come and face the enemy who is as strong as you!
II.
Void
Is it the permanent state of my soul?
I must embrace all the pain
Scorn
It’s contaminating my heart, torn apart
Cursed for ages
I’m tainted, oblivious, forlorn and possessed
They’re drinking my feelings straight from my chest
Demons
Your demons, my child
And if they kill me who will care for you?
I feel like there is no room for us too
They’ll take one and I volunteer
(Demons: We’ve come to feast, to eat your eyes
To kill you and feed on your paradise
God left you to bleed, oh you fallen one
So we’ll devour you instead of your son
You’re weak and you’re blind and you’re on your own
Completely forlorn, completely alone
You’ll never return even if you strive
And for sure you will never get out alive!)
So stab me once more, I’m into your game
I accepted the rules, I’m so led astray
Suck up all my lymph, come lick my veins dry
At least it’s not him who is going to die
Come tear us apart, dehydrate my heart
Overwhelm my brain and weaken my art
I’m curious to know how everything ends
As you still didn’t manage to possess my hands
III.
And I hear the ray of heat
Passing softly along the street
And the voices are singing: ‘Your trial is over now
You paid the price and you survived
Your child was free from all the pain
And your love like a tiny grain
Bloomed rapidly from this sacrifice
Bringing sparks to the coldest eyes’
I wash my hands and tune my soul
While other angels are singing in awe
And the sound of their choirs is august and loud
I can barely hear their crowd
I hold the hand of my child (I hold his hand)
While we’re returning to our town of the wild (Town of the wild)
Where my powers sprouted, where pollution is high
And warrior angels are welcome anytime
I hold the hand of my child (Everything is alright)
While we’re returning to our town of the wild (United forevermore)
Where my powers sprouted, where pollution is high
And Warrior Angels are welcome anytime

Once upon a time over eighth hill
Over dark forest, up the icy stairs
In the secret land nearby the mighty castle
There lived King’s Advisor, Viking and the Lady fair
Peaceful life they’d led in their idyll
With love and with peace they filled their days
But then black cloud appeared over Advisor’s head
The evil forces left their trace
He took a sturdy rope as thick as his arm
He hid carefully behind castle’s wall
He watched for the Lady’s inattentive step
As he captured her savagely in the castle’s hall
He dragged her to the forest, so somber and cold
Much more horrific than in the days of old
He tied her to the tree, her wrists started to bleed,
She cried so silently not to make a stir
Soon they both got covered with the shade of sword
As the Viking loomed from behind the fir
Hands off my child, miscreant!
He put up his sword He put up his sword
And he made a cut And he made a cut
The rope ruptured gracefully The rope ruptured wildly
Trees bursted with blood Demons rose from the mud
His sword shone like star His sword crossed their clubs
The brightness appeared He killed them one by one
Black cloud scattered There was no room for peace
Salvation was near As the damage was done
King’s Advisor was free King’s Advisor was lost
Blood was no longer shed He couldn’t be forgiven
In splendor of the sword Banished from idyll
He cried tears of regret Woeful life he lived
United again There ain’t no reprieve
As his demons were gone For ones who get that blind
They danced ‘round him all night For ones who get possessed
So he wouldn’t feel alone Our swords we grind
And then there was peace And then there was peace
The land was free again The land was free again
They all sang in harmony There were no more intruders
Till the very end Till the very end
That’s how one cut ended That’s how one cut ended
All evil and hate All evil and hate
The fairytale is over The fairytale is over
The rest is left to fate The rest is left to fate

Will the devil crawl from hell again?
Will the devil crawl from hell again?
Will she push the Guardian, will she grab her throne?
Will the devil crawl from hell again?
Will the demon cut the angel’s throat?
Will the demon cut the angel’s throat?
It’s getting hard to breathe, the sun is going down
Will the demon drown her in the slough?
Sickle shines in glow of the moon
Sickle shines in glow of the moon
Goldenrod still sways but soon it will be gone
Sickle shines in glow of the moon
Will the angel win another fight?
Will the angel win another fight?
Her child will rest in nest, curse is carved in the tombstone
Will the angel win this fight alone?
The hell is your place and you come from the night
I won’t stand any longer your pitiful sight
There ain’t no mercy for the envoy of gloom
I’m the guardian of gleam, you’re the maggot of doom
I’ll make disease devour your unctuous limbs
And the ashes of yours will rest on my wings
I ruffle my feathers with no sign of remorse
Your infinite affliction will remain my source

I was born on the cloud, God’s creation, Devil’s pride
Who cast a spell onto my hands right before they kicked me out?
I am lying in the wetlands, rays of light caress my eyes
My child is free, new day begins, I’m heading for another ride
I could set the world ablaze as I had done in early days
But we’re at it again for cursed train never stops
It’s unfair that word of art can tear everything apart
Spat to the world I cannot flee, was it augury or was it me?
Always hoping that it all was just a weird coincidence
After twentieth I have lost the count and I started to watch my hands
I’ve lost control over my mind and the story goes on again
Raised my child, protected him from disease and another one walks ‘cross my way
I could set the world ablaze as I had done in early days
But we’re at it again for cursed train never stops
It’s unfair that word of art can tear everything apart
Spat to the world I cannot flee, was it augury or was it me?
I’ve been sent here to take care, I destroyed so I’ll repair
So don’t tell me it’s too late, I will ruin and I’ll create
I am ready for the storm, I am here to keep them warm
I’ll provide them all they need if they only stopped to bleed
Take it all, I’ve lost control
But my wings heal and these ain’t my last words
I’ve been sent here to take care, I destroyed so I’ll repair
So don’t tell me it’s too late, I will ruin and I’ll create
I am ready for the storm, I am here to keep them warm
I’ll provide them all they need if they only stopped to bleed
I have learned how to be strong, Earth is place where I belong
But the story needs to last, seems I don’t learn from the past
No way I can watch my mind, I pretend to do my best
The cursed train never stops, my power never rests
I could set the woods ablaze, I went deeper in the maze
Now I’m at new story gates, kill it ‘till it procreates!
Burnt the candles, fought with ire, danced all night around the fire
Now my child is wild and free, was it augury or was it me?
Yet another story ends, I stand here with dirty hands
Am I tyrant or redeemer? The cursed train never stops
Dump my feelings off the cliff, it’s the only remedy
I don’t want to be the cause of another tragedy
