Spectacle of Tragedy
The intricate art of selfless love
Is the irony of the spectacle
Perform your heart out beyond and above
To receive the applause of the indifferent
The curtains fall, the stage is set for your betrayal!
Stab me with the knives of treason
Tear my heart out with a deadly touch
Don’t give me no motives, no reasons
Just lie that you love me much
The words “I love you” hold no meaning
Beyond the curtains of duplicity
Ice cold soul with amputated feelings
Stabs a dagger with unreal serenity
The theater of fallacies and lies
Your facade of care and dedication
Hides your inner haunting cries
Screaming for salvation
The curtains fall, the stage is set for your betrayal!
Stab me with the knives of treason
Tear my heart out with a deadly touch
Don’t give me no motives, no reasons
Your play I watch in dismay
Stab me with the daggers of deception
Slay the feelings and romance in inception
Don’t bother your conscience is gone
Play your part- I will die alone
Just tell me when you’re done

For Eternity

For Eternity
In the spirit of loneliness
We thrive
Denying togetherness
We fight
Crumbling down and down, down and down
There is nothing left to say
You cannot change my way
I’m heading where you cannot see me crawl
I’ve lost my inner light
I’ve given up the fight
I scream but no one seems to hear my Call
I fall
And I still remember
Your touch
The wounds of my failure
Hurt so much
I drag you with me down and down, down and down
There is nothing left to say
No one can change our way
We’re heading where you cannot see us crawl
I’ve lost my inner light
You’ve given up the fight
We scream but no one seems to hear us Call
We fall
The fall precedes the winter’s whip
Floating leaves and then the icy grip
The darkest season is upon us now
The shallow waters, they invite us down
There is nothing left to say
No one can change our way
We’re heading where you cannot see us crawl
I’ve lost my inner light
You’ve given up the fight
We scream but no one seems to hear us Call
We fall

Sin Eater

Sin Eater
He’ll eat this putrid meal
Of his own free will
He’ll swallow down the rotten pill
He’ll take it all away
The price of all he’ll pay
He’ll take away my soul decay
The burdens of the fallen race,
He’ll take the pain of our disgrace
He’ill take our pain away
A bitter, rancid mouthful of pain
He’ll take a bite of the shame and disdain
He gives us right to give up the fight,
to abandon the path
the most difficult path
In our minds we’re always right,
We never care of the aftermath
When the weight pulls us down
And we’re about to drown
He’ll give us the helping hand
The drowning humankind
Already mad and blind
We pull him down as we try to climb
The burdens of the fallen race,
He’ll take the pain of our disgrace
He’ll take our pain away
A bitter, rancid mouthful of pain
He’ll take a bite of the shame and disdain
He gives us right to give up the fight,
to abandon the path
the most difficult path
In our minds we’re always right,
We never care of the aftermath
The burdens of the fallen race,
The sin eater will take away
He will take our pain away
A bitter, rancid mouthful of pain
The sin eater swallows the shame
He gives us right to give up the fight,
to abandon the path
the most difficult path
In our minds we’re always right,
We never care of the aftermath

Waiting in Silence

Waiting in Silence
In this silent night the moon shines in your eyes
In this lonely night I see your eyes in the sky
Nothing else that matters now that I’m with you
And there’s nothing in this world that’ll make me leave you
I fight to stay afloat I fight to live again
But the memories of old they surface now and then
And when they do, I start to live in such denial
I know I lost you, but my mind is such a liar
We are forever young, we are forever young
In my mind I’m always there for you
I deny the things I can’t undo
Waiting in silence
For you to come down, to give me a hand, to give me a frown
Waiting in silence
For you to decide I want to see you again and the fire in your eyes
Waiting in silence
I lay on the grass overwhelmed and aghast
What if I never cross this void empty and vast
if I never feel your warmth in my embrace
What if I never feel your lips caressing my face
We are forever young, we are forever young
In my mind I’m always there for you
I deny the things I can’t undo
Waiting in silence
For you to come down, to give me a hand, to give me a frown
Waiting in silence
For you to decide I want to see you again and the fire in your eyes
Waiting in silence

Funeral

Funeral
I see you standing there, ephemeral
The most perfect version of you
I reach and grasp nothing but air
Could this be really true
I’m dreaming again then I’m not
And I can’t seem to comprehend
This reality’s too painful to bare
Its marks will never mend
Handful of dirt after handful of dirt
Our years are slipping by
Handful of dirt from the cold and barren earth
On your eternal prison- good night
Handful of dirt after handful of dirt
The memories of your life
Handful of earth, and no hope for rebirth
This is not enough for goodbye
I see you standing near
Then you disappear
Is this all a vision in my head
I take a long breath
Then I remember
I remember that you are dead
Sometimes in utter regret I seem to forget
Your touch, your smile and your face
This hurts more than anything, more than anything
You’ll be gone without a trace
Handful of dirt after handful of dirt
Our years are slipping by
Handful of dirt from the cold and barren earth
On your eternal prison- good night
Handful of dirt after handful of dirt
The memories of your life
Handful of earth, and no hope for rebirth
This is not enough for goodbye
In this barren earth I lay you down
You’ll sleep forever without a sound
Without a smile, without a light in your eyes
Which were bright as the morning sky
Bright as the morning sky
Handful of dirt after handful of dirt
Our years are slipping by
Handful of dirt from the cold and barren earth
On your eternal prison- good night
Handful of dirt after handful of dirt
The memories of your life
Handful of earth, and no hope for rebirth
This is not enough for goodbye

Star of Mine

Star of Mine
In a time forgotten and erased in books
Lived a man who hunted in the darkest woods
So brave he stood against the tides of time
He was truly divine
Until one faithful day he fell in love
As he was gazing at the sky above
He saw the glitter of a lonely star
Between the clouds it shone afar
And in this moment his whole being
Was overwhelmed by the desperate desire
To be together with his beloved one
Up there in the sky, to shine above the clouds
Shine over me in my quest to find
A path to you I’m roaming blind
Give me the strength to vanquish time
So I can hold you Star of mine
So he set out on his lonely quest
He roamed the lands at his heart’s behest
He climbed the mountain side to find a way
For the first time he was afraid
That he will never find his love
That all his strength is not enough
Shine over me in my quest to find
A path to you I’m roaming blind
Give me the strength to vanquish time
So I can hold you star of mine
Then he reached the end of the road
There was no latter, nor stairs, nor walls
He could not climb to reach for his star
So he stands forever gazing afar
Shine over me in my quest to find
A path to you I’m roaming blind
Give me the strength to vanquish time
So I can hold you love of mine
Shine over me in my quest to find
A path to you I’m roaming blind
Give me the strength to vanquish time
So I can hold you star of mine

Reduced to Irrelevance
On the silent shores of the endless sea
She was shedding the last of her tears
She arrived to the end
Her life was all spent
She left all the fear
And slowly disappeared
In the lonely fields where nothing grows
Where all the forgotten, forsaken mourn
The loss of their love the doom of their faith
They crave for life as they fade away
into nothing
The vortex spins round and round
Nothing
Slowly she is falling down
Into nothing
She crumbles fast in the vastness of the
Nothing
Through the storm she falls as the darkness calls
She sees the flame and the lightings
She hears the roar of the thunder
She loses direction, and conscience, and thought as she falls
Her whisper echoes in the empty halls
Transgressions, sins, mistakes unforgotten
The burden of the past weighs down as she’s cast
In the vast and ever-growing void
of nothing
The vortex spins round and round
Nothing
Slowly she is falling down
Into nothing
She crumbles fast in the vastness of the
Nothing
Through the storm she falls as the darkness calls
She sees the flame and the lightings
She hears the roar of the thunder
Transgressions, sins, mistakes unforgotten
The burden of the past weights down as she is cast
In the vast and ever-growing void
of nothing
The vortex spins round and round
Nothing
Slowly she is falling down
Into nothing
She crumbles fast in the vastness of the
Nothing
Through the storm she falls as the darkness calls
She sees the flame and the lightings
She hears the roar of the thunder
She’s in the flame she’s a lightning
She crumbles down, she falls under

Beacon of Hope
My heart breaks
When I witness the hate- humanity’s disgrace
I grow cold
To the lies of our leaders- our future they sold
Nothing will break me down
I will swim to the shores of my promised ground
Nothing will take me down
Deep in my heart determination I found
This feeling I get when my mind is set
When I know I’ll keep fighting till my last breath
This feeling I find is a righteous sign
That my eyes are open and I’m not blind
And I suffer
as I walk the mile I see the future shatter
And I yell
to the masses running blind under their corruptive spell
But nothing will break me down
With my bloody bear feet I will walk the barren ground
Nothing will lead me astray
I am here to stay, my anger will not go away
This feeling I get when my mind is set
When I know I’ll keep fighting till my last breath
This feeling I find is a righteous sign
That my eyes are open and I’m not blind
The shiver I get when my eyes are set
on a goal so noble it protects me from
cold
The power of my fate in humanity won't
fade
And I will preserve it- it will show me the way
This feeling I get when my mind is set
When I know I’ll keep fighting till my last breath
This feeling I find is a righteous sign
That my eyes are open and I’m not blind

One by One We Fall

One by One We Fall
Waiting for the black void to call
Cursing, screaming one by one we fall
Another night brings the darkest tide in the fading light
Another wave of death upon the brothers of mine
Who is the real enemy who causes all this loss, we pay the cost
Who is the one condemning us to this horrendous pain, we die in vain
Waiting for the black void to call
Cursing, screaming one by one we fall
To survive this war, you must realize that you’re already dead
To be brave enough to stand tall in the face of death
To inspire the change, to be aware that you’re not alone, you’re not alone
To rip and tear and to beat despair, until the enemy’s gone, you’re not done
Waiting for the black void to call
Cursing, screaming, and fighting, we fall
Waiting for the black void to call
Cursing, screaming one by one we fall

The Voyage
Light is fading
And I dream awake of places
I’ve never been to
but my spirit wants to see
my spirit wants to fly free
Far into the fantasy so real I fly
and flying into the sky I glide
to meet the night
to burn it with my light so bright
I fly into the sky
Nothing lies ahead
My journey seems like it never ends
It is eternal
My wings have lost their feathers
My wings cannot carry my weight
In a nightmare I fly in the blackened sky
And screaming I fall
The pain is tearing my soul
I wake up in tears
The joy consumed by fears
My wings are burning down
I'm falling on the ground
It hurts, when dreams reality desert
Light is dying and
I am awake, I'm crying
Banging on the walls
I live to see the fall
of my, my long endured selfish pride
My wings have lost their feathers
My wings cannot carry my weight
In a nightmare I fly in the blackened sky
And screaming I fall
The pain is tearing my soul
My wings have lost their feathers
My wings cannot carry my weight
In a nightmare I fly in the blackened sky
And screaming I fall
The pain is tearing my soul

November Farewell
‘Tis the season of the mist again
The sun shines no more
It’s forgotten by the tired land
The artist paints with a palette of gray
And brown and yellow, and red
And the fallen leaves are damp and moist and wet
Where did you go, did you hide in the fog?
Just like the summer you left in the fall
Time heals the wounds but time does not fly back
After all the lights are spent night is always black!
The cliffs are wet by the tears of the rain
The sky meets the sea, a wall painted in grey…
And the storm descends on me
Where did you go, did you hide in the fog?
Just like the summer you left in the fall
Time heals the wounds but time does not fly back
After all the lights are spent night is always black!
Where did you go, did you hide in the fog?
Just like the summer you left me in the fall
Time heals the wounds but time does not forgive
In the absence of tomorrow in the past with you I live!

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.
