1.	Empty Steps (remixed/remastered) 03:17	lyrics	buy track
Empty steps calling to me When will they lead me to home? Further, farther Until I have walked this dead road So I may cross the abyss, Its kiss welcoming me to my new-found haven Eternity, stuck in its gaze Leaving behind hollow tracks of hope Abandoned and led astray Forfeit freedom unto the spire All is lost Cynical, cyclical beast, it haunts Memories, visions of hallowed light It spits on my, my barren tracks Seeking to feast upon me No hope -------------- And so it was for the fallen guard, finding himself encased in a gloom of anguish and despair, awaiting the torture the tower had promised him...
2.	The Lonely Tower (remixed/remastered) 04:57	lyrics	buy track
I've tried and I’ve failed And I wonder if it’s not for me I cannot see Lonely spire release me All this life outside this hell Stuck in this tower, Hour by hour but I endure, aimlessly Scratching the walls, I fall Years have passed Look at this life, all that it’s done Yet it still screams out your name Emptiness staining the glass Stuck in the past Wandering further until A fork in the road Where must I go? And I scream out for the past, The dead dreams. Memories now, fragmented shards of how I’ve tried and I’ve failed And I wonder if it’s not for me I cannot see Lonely spire release me All this life outside this hell Stuck in this tower, Hour by hour but I endure, aimlessly Scratching the walls, I fall I am lost, Losing myself but I still cry out for your name alone. Empty steps Further along this path I walk and Now I see life, without me Setting in quicker now As I scream from this tall spire Hopeless shouts Slave to self, no one else Free me I’ve tried and I’ve failed And I wonder if it’s not for me I cannot see Lonely spire release me All this life outside this hell Stuck in this tower, Hour by hour but I endure, aimlessly Scratching the walls, I fall
3.	Broken Light (remixed/remastered) 04:24	lyrics	buy track
Now I am complete Drained of my will to resist See what I now see Follow me into the fog Broken glass reflects Slowly I observe Dusk, dark, where I once knew my part I see my faint fate Creeping near and near Fear, hate, thinking it’s already late How can this be? What I had once held true Broken light you once led me Calling to me But I cannot return Broken light you long left me Lighting old fires Smoke piling higher Dead to me, all I see Past visions of self Days go by slower Shadows grow older Free me, free me No light to guide me Quicker I fall into the fog No one can hear me scream Quicker I fall into the dark Broken light come to me How can this be? What I had once held true Broken light you once led me Calling to me But I cannot return Broken light you long left me Now I am complete Drained of my will to resist See what I now see Follow me into the fog
