Prelude 01:45
2.
I was a sun in her sky She was a star in my night I'd do anything to be back where I belong It's dark and cold out here alone Someone please help me get come Oh, save me quickly, I feel myself falling from the sky
3.
Boreal 04:17
Helpless I watch my life unravel Drifting endlessly away This is how it all begins This is how we start to end Capture now the grace in balance Swirling motion takes me in Oh God, I can't stop in this silence This pulled thread can't be restitched Reckless I chose the path less travelled Soon found it dwindling away I cannot remember where I've been If I could only try again I vaguely recall the place I started Oh how I did not know my way Unforseen I took this gamble What course of action led me astray? I can't believe that I have fallen Off the edge of the world, a place uncharted At the fall Is this where I'm meant to be Wake me up God I pray it's just a dream I am lost Helplessly beneath the trees After all You were just a memory

Skylights 05:12
5.
Shadowlands 02:57
What are these cold and lifeless forms? Follow at my heels and stare as they warn Dangers up ahead, lurking on the way Devouring hearts, there isn't time to stay They see me searching, sweep in from the trees Levitating effortlessly Their chilling presence, their glowing eyes I'm overtaken by their haunting cries Aimlessly wandering, I don't really know where to go These friendly specters point me in the direction of home If I can make it past the fangs and claws then I'll have hope That I can get this dying heart of mine back home What are these creatures of the night Seem to know we are not alone Walk along they follow close behind I will not stay, these trees are not my home I will have to face the dangers All I know is I must believe King of ghosts raises a hand I'm unafraid when he speaks to me

Verloren 03:44
Why did you bring me here? Break me out just to make me disappear, disappear Pain overwhelming, I try to run away, run away But words can't be unspoken Unafraid, unashamed You broke me down to nothing I'm losing everything And I cannot breathe This is all that I feared Your words are swirling They're making things appear, so unclear I can't believe it's hopeless You were just a breath away And now you're lost to focus Abandoned here, the light it fades And I can't escape this I can't see I can't feel you You're bringing me You're breaking me down And I never meant to hurt you But I'm lost and I need space to find my way out And I'm sorry but I cannot stay This isn't what I needed

Polaris 01:44
9.
Luna 03:08
The crescent moon Will shed it's light and guide me to you Throw aside my crown Leave home, leave home, you will be found Hope aloft In expanses of the dark night I strain my eyes And stumble through shadow in search of light I was the boy obsessed with the sun, Each day I awoke when the light broke When tragedy struck, They brought darkness to our lands Famine swept through, devastation Who will save our civilization? We knew we needed the sun We needed the sun, we needed the sun

11.
You, you see through me It's not that you get me It's that I'm just not there I, I've been shouting Do you even care? I'm dying for attention Oh, just a single stare And you, you make me feel weak And that I can't sleep What have you done to me? Words, they don't come out right They're all just too light I'm simply losing hope I gave to you the best of me You gave it back half-heartedly You just see through me You just see through me
12.
Cast me from this picture, I must be floating away When did I stumble down here into this angelic array? Are you hiding in the boughs of the golden summer trees? Are you lost in the constellations and the gentle breeze? And I can still see your smile And I can still feel your breath here You can't be that far away Oh, the stars, falling from the sky Oh, the stars, shimmering tonight Where were you when I fell through? Where were you? I need the truth I can feel it in the wind And I know you've felt it too I'm called to other places They don't involve you This vault of stars above us Moves overhead with grace I finally have direction You need time and I need space What to do with all these memories? When all the lights go out, when all the lights go out I know I couldn't stop you, why did you go so soon? When all the lights go out, when all the lights go out

about

Constellations is an experimental concept album telling a highly-metaphorical story of a journey through the woods by night. Prelude begins at dusk and the following songs carry the story on through to morning. While Constellations speaks heavily of feelings of loneliness, confusion, and hurt, seeks to also point towards the idea of hope and that it's worth every step we takes towards it.

This album was designed to be gapless and listened to from start to finish. We strongly suggest your listening experience to follow that.
