Hypatia 06:09
Saving the Oxalys Awakening at the hillside of Valhalla The year is lost with time and memory A saviour alone, reborn from dust and fire, Recovers the elixir of eternity A sign of doom flashes across the sky While she sees the secret in her hands A heavy load rests upon her shoulders Carrying the burden across the lands Saving the Oxalys From time and dust Hypatia - Harvester of life - Hypatia The passage of time now creeps upon her She cannot reach the temple of the Sun But at the point she’s in her darkest hour Her fierce eyes blaze with dignity Discovering that this was meant to be Triumph waits for those who trust the Path She leaves the past – only to be free Hypatia - Harvester of life - Hypatia Saving the Oxalys From time and dust Rain hammers upon her As she runs on the edge of light Queen of the Stars

Between ancient rifts and crustal highlands Mystic tracks are preserved in the dust Leading along the lunar maria Towards the edge of the old Magma Sea Vanishing origin Behind the mists of time Drifter of the silver sphere Listen to the silence scream Valley of the Moon Solar winds sweeping the dunes Magnetic fields forming in moon dust Lunar swirls guide the path As the Moon eclipses the Sun Vanishing origin Behind the mists of time Drifting across the silver sphere As lightning strikes my mind In the still of night a Siren sings her song And the emerald sky has settled for the dawn Drawing paths in dreams of times forgone “I’ve lived a lifetime on the wind…”
3.
Living below a higher goal .. but aiming too low Caught in the dust of what once was Symbols in rust take hold of us Bound in chains where evil reigns We long for your light And we call to You across the skies Give us a sign – Comet of Gold Lost beyond The Strings of Change Where the fire merges with our flames We fear the Sun Who makes us run But never arrive There’s still a light Reaching far beyond our sight Moulding the world While we live our deaths And die our lives We try to return to The Comet of Gold
4.
In the graying mist at dawn Frozen paths turn to life Moving shapes always shifting your course Everchanging paths to a static destination The arctic winds whisper As the mountains call to you Howling mountains thunder With echoes of journeys past With steep trails and snowclad peaks The ancient teeth encircle Battered fields and icy brooks And all the mysteries of the lands Untold tales of yore, long forgotten Now taking form, as told by the wind – And the past calls to you Howling mountains thunder With echoes of journeys past
5.
Hidden beneath evil shadows of life In ruins escaping the Light A child of the Storm quenching hubris with fear Enticing the warning of glory Her desperate eyes filled with tears and thorns The temple is broken for all We’re on a path to nowhere (Elysian Fields) We’re on a path to nowhere (Elysian Fields) Through the bleeding eyes of Destiny Our souls mourn eternally We’re on a path to nowhere (Elysian Fields) We claim our right to Freedom While Death reaps the streets Some day will be our last So we got to reveal our hearts The Dawn of Hypatia choked in chains Unholy nightwalkers, march! We’re on a path to nowhere (Elysian Fields) We’re on a path to nowhere (Elysian Fields) Through the bleeding eyes of Destiny Our souls mourn eternally We’re on a path to nowhere (Elysian Fields)
