Silent Assassin
No sympathy - alone we dwell
In apathy - a self-created hell
Chorus
We borrow from the earth
No chance to pay back
We scrape the dirt
Our hands are black
The day of reckoning is coming
For you, to shatter your dreams
In eternal darkness we are plumbing
We shall, I say, pay for our sins
Chorus
We borrow from the earth
No chance to pay back
We scrape the dirt
Our hands are black
We dig the tired soil
We stain the skies and sun
In endless quest for oil
Our future is undone
Our hope is fading and end is near
The silent assassin is here
We fade quietly into the night
Leaving no traces behind
Chorus 2
Nothing remains just a freezing gust
The toxic clouds, and fallout dust
There is no “we”
A collective demise
Our time has come and the planet rejoices
We paid for our horrible choices
We fade quietly into the night
Chorus 2
Nothing remains just a freezing gust
The toxic clouds and fallout dust
There is no me
There are no more lies
We dig the tired soil
We stain the skies and sun
In endless quest for oil
Our future is undone

Fireflies

Fireflies
Mesmerizing lights ahead
Trapping sunlight in a net
Shadows dancing all around on the solitary ground
To the sunset bound
Chorus
When there is no road to take
You should not fear to go astray
When in doubt just ask your heart
and it will lead you from the dark
When the fireflies are dancing
And the winds of changes chanting
In the air
A gust of despair
Where did they go
They left us forlorn
With the memory
In our hollow minds
Of the trance
and their hypnotic dance
We sit and stare at the night
Silhouette in dying light (in dying light)
Darkness falling all around on the solitary ground
To the night we are bound
Chorus
When there is no road to take
You should not fear to go astray
When in doubt just ask your heart
and it will lead you from the dark
In an endless sea of choices
Listen to your inner voices
Chorus
When there is no road to take
You should not fear to go astray
When in doubt just ask your heart
and it will lead you from the dark
When the fireflies are dancing
And the winds of changes chanting

Broken

Broken
Twisted thought is creeping in my head
Am I still alive or am I really dead
I pinch my face to see if I still hurt
I swallow hard just to taste the dirt
Just to taste the dirt
Did it happen or was it just a dream
Nothing matters anymore or so it seems
I lie and really don't want to get up
I keep pinching till it bleeds
But I don't want to stop
Chorus
I have lost my will to live
I want to quietly leave
I want to fade into the void
My life is utterly destroyed
Chorus
I have lost my strength to fight
I am dead inside
My heart is ripped off my chest
My soul with you is so possessed
Chorus
I have lost my will to live
I want to quietly leave
I want to fade into the void
My life is utterly destroyed
I try to sleep again alone
The pill comes down my throat like a burning stone
I only wish I won't wake up again
Without you by my side there's only pain

Godless

Godless
We flee from the ruins of our own lives
Hated we run, despised and received with lies
We struggle to live and to exist
For the sake of our loved ones we will persist
We stare at the eyes of a dying child
The bodies of our kin in mountains piled
Chorus
We can take this no longer
We are pawns in a vicious game
We grow weak thinking we are growing stronger
We are godless and we’re all the same
We face their hordes they come in waves
They come with a sword to destroy our lives and ways
We struggle to live and to coexist
For the future of our kin we will persist
Chorus
We can take this no longer
We are pawns in a vicious game
We grow weak thinking we are growing stronger
We are godless and we’re all the same

The Darkness Within

The Darkness Within
I am the thought lurking in your mind
Raging and tearing with atrocity
I am the death of your soul
Growing black and painfully cold
Why can't you see me?
Why can't you feel me?
I am the darkness within
Chorus
I hear you calling me (in your sleep)
And your whispers are appealing (as your embrace)
Pull me up and towards
I’m gonna take you through the darkest hour
‘Cause I am your darkness within
In a corner of your soul
Reunited we are smiling
In eternity freed
By the darkness within
You are a drug I am an addict
You are the rose I am the rain
You are the sun I am a shadow
You are the joy I am the pain
Why can't you see me?
Why can't you feel me?
We are the war we are the peace
I am the sail you are the breeze
We are the beginning we are the end
We shall not yield we shall not bend
Why can't you see me?
Why can't you feel me?
Chorus
I hear you calling me (in your sleep)
And your whispers are appealing (as your embrace)
Pull me up and towards
I’m gonna take you through the darkest hour
‘Cause I am your darkness within

Maiden of Stone

Maiden of Stone
Light embraces her
With a tender caress
Warm and precious feeling
Calls upon the life in her veins
The stone features curved by the wind
The stone fingers washed away by the rain
but within
The life is coming back
The life’s awakening
Chorus
In this brave new world she awakes
In this brave new world she takes a step
A step from the solitary grave
She is a remnant of the past
She was meant to last forever
For ages asleep in her tomb
The sun is a tender lover
Strips the night of her curves
She reaches out her hand and feels the breeze
For so long yearned
She opens her eyes and the veil of darkness washes away
The stones uncover the beauty of her shapes
The life is coming back
The life’s awakening
Chorus (x2)
In this brave new world she awakes
In this brave new world she takes a step
A step from the solitary grave
She is a remnant of the past
She was meant to last forever
For ages asleep in her tomb

Spirits
Like a cold winter day
Dark and full of pain
She appears to me
Oh, dressed in grief
Roses follow her footsteps
Thorns in my soul
I am burning in her flame
I am fading away
(To an early grave)
Chorus
My body is grief
Dark is my soul
Here is the story
That’s never been told
And when you leave
I will follow
And when you go
You won’t be alone
In a cold winter day
Dark and full of pain
She is following me
Oh, through the trees
We are walking together
Hand in hand
We shall walk forever
We are fading away
(To an early grave)
Chorus
My body is grief
Dark is my soul
Here is the story
That’s never been told
And when you leave
I will follow
And when you go
You won’t be alone
I don’t exist when you don’t see me
Chorus
My body is grief
Pain in my soul
Here is the story
That’s never been told
And when you leave
I disappear
And will I dream
When it’s over
will I dream?

Burning Halo

Burning Halo
Tired of watching this endless fiasco
Tired of living imprisoned in your own mind
It’s time to break the shackles
It’s time for you to fly
Chorus
In the silence I hear the voices screaming
Calling from the void beyond
In the solitary darkness teeming
They reach through the bond
You reach your hand and grasp the filth
You try to spit the lump of guilt
And now your wings are burning
You fall
And now your grace is burning
You fall
In death throes the earth crumbles
It awaits the final killing blow
For the son of god to fall
It is time for you to fall
And now your wings are burning (you fall)
And now your grace is burning
And now your wings are burning
Chorus
In the silence I hear the voices screaming
Calling from the void beyond
In the solitary darkness teeming
They reach through the bond
In the sky the burning halo blinds your eyes
The tears divine
Thunders crashing, lightnings flash in the sky
The blood divine is pouring
In a river of red, in a river of red

Building Cages
Destination unknown
Dreams you roam alone
What the darkness unveils
Seems so surreal
Path hidden away
From the light of day
Building cages lasting ages
Chorus
Blissful is the night
In the absence of light
Pitch black all around
The utter absence of sound
Bliss, the darkness around
Black covering shroud
High hopes lead to fall
Night’s pride stands tall
In the absence of stars
Blackness covers afar
Building cages lasting ages
Chorus
Blissful is the night
In the absence of light
Pitch black all around
The utter absence of sound
Where the forgotten dwell
In the deepest well
In Oblivion’s realm
You fall, you fall down
Trying to awake
To the light of day
Building cages lasting ages
Chorus
Blissful is the night
In the absence of light
Pitch black all around
The utter absence of sound

In the Name of Power

In the Name of Power
A fragment of my soul to behold
Story forgotten and untold
Of inner war, of rise and fall
Betrayal of one’s soul
Of how the power corrupts our lives
The greed leads us to demise
Of how a brother becomes a foe
A kin betrayal with a vicious blow
Army of men treading the sands
With blood they are washing their hands
Under banners of greed they’re walking the lands
Until there’s nothing left to stand
Chorus
Down the spiral of my faith
Should I live or should I fade
Try no more, just disappear
Relief the pain and fear
Down and down and down I fall
In the prison of my soul
I walk away I will fade
The trace I left will slowly wither
The snow of winter is falling down
The season of life is over now
Corruption polluted all I have
Power consumed and left me dead
Army of men walking the lands
Like locusts they leave only sands
They’re led by ambition, and power and hate
In this fight they decide our faith
Chorus
Down the spiral of my faith
Should I live or should I fade
Try no more, just disappear
Relief the pain and fear
Down and down and down I fall
In the prison of my soul
I walk away I will fade
The trace I left will slowly wither

VELIAN Sofia, Bulgaria
The band Velian is the brainchild of five very well-known musicians on the Bulgarian metal scene that have been part of acts
such as Wartime, Fanagoria, PhyX and Progression. Some publications in the Bulgarian press called it a “true underground super-group”.
The band’s concept and its message are related to the destructive materialism, the lack of values of our society and way of life.
