Chasing the Sun Songtext
von Tears of Martyr

As I ride
As I roam
Enfolded by Darkness
Eager to find the Sun.
Many years have gone
Since that I′ve returned
From where no one
Has come before.
And it's now
And here
Where all the ending
Will unfold.


This is the fate
Of whom haunts with no soul,
"Feeding from hate
Is healing from pain".
Envy guided your hearts,
Envy sealed my eyes,
But I′ve returned,
With vengeance in my hands.
The Oracle sang
I will find you at last,
Far beyond no more told,
She only said the words:

"Set you free,
Chase the sun"

"Hear the hymn of hell,
O'er the victim sounding,
Chant of frenzy, chant of ill,
Sense and will confounding!
Round the soul entwining
Without lute or lyre-
Soul in madness pining,
Wasting as with fire!"


The daughters of Night appear,
Those who are feared by Gods,
Relentless pace,
Is her furious race.
Avenging Demons of injustice
That your song resounds
Chaining the sanity
Of those who I hunt!
Erinias, instil the fear
So deep in their hearts,
That my hand only need
A move to avenge my death!

"Hear the hymn of hell,
O'er the victim sounding,
Chant of frenzy, chant of ill,
Sense and will confounding!
Round the soul entwining
Without lute or lyre-
Soul in madness pining,
Wasting as with fire!"

"Keep your hand apart,
From the raging sword,
And listen from my lips
The poetry in my words.
Because anger and hate
Will bait you until the end,
And from the Abyss of Hell
You′ll never escape again"

Oh! Is that you?
My Muse of creation...

"Please, don′t get caught
With the chant of these three,
Cause not only the sanity
Of your killers
But yours it's here at risk."

No!

I will not forget
They drowned me
Into the Waters of Lethe
And thus they smothered
The flame of creation
That was on me.

"He will do it!
Oh, yes he′ll kill them,
And the grudge shall destroy him,
And it shall bind him to the souls
Of his assassins."

"But the words of Calliope
Resounded in his head..."
This maelstrom of wrath
Is tearing my heart
And like a dark spectre
It will make me forever dance...
Oh, is this what I want?

No!

It's now when I understand
What the Oracle
Wanted to say...

"Set you free!
Chase the sun...
...Surpass the anger
In this new life."

I will embrace the light of day
Stepping out of the darkness where I rest.
Over forgiveness it′s redemption,
So I'll shed from the chains of vengeance.
