Archangel I wish to smile once again I feel now that my wings are growing It hurts that we haven't got home anymore But all that doesn’t matter, Because our souls are free, And nothing can stop us We are here for a reason It hurts that You are not here But I'm thinking of You In my day to day thoughts And I'm feeling You close In the deeps of my heart, And I'll tell You this: I'm looking at You through my eyes. I'm calling You through my lips. Dream on and I will come to You Dream on … Dream on Lisa
2.	On The Wings Of Destiny 04:26	lyrics	buy track
On The Wings of Destiny I'm on the wings of destiny which You want to deny. I need focus on my past, my runes will help me to fight you back. Pre chorus: My heaven will be your hell, My pain will be your pain, My anger will be your grave! Chorus: You've buried my mortal life. You've ruined my home and land. You've stolen my son and wife, All of that because of my celestial past. Solo:Damian Bridge: My knowledge was my curse... My candle was my past... My enemies I've took their lives, Take my anger, take my pain, take my sacrifice. I became a mortal but You expect Me to be divine. I still remember what lies in my heart. I'm on the wings of destiny which You want to deny. Open Your eyes!

Proclamation of Tragedy That feedback will makes Our life dark. I feel something bad is coming back. For You, so many things to tell For me one more day in hell. Chorus: Lies, They told me lies For whole my life I was blind! That Feedback is making Our times hard, Because of this nightmare which wasting My life... For You so many things to say For Us another day in pain. Bridge: Another fatality show because Your greed grows more and more! Another great news from your big eye, That's why we want to die. Pain, Pain, pain... I cannot ,I cannot ,I cannot trust them! We cannot, We cannot, We cannot trust lies!
4.	Hole In The Soul 04:45	lyrics	buy track
Hole In The Soul Chorus: There's a hole in Your soul There's a pain in Your name There's a hole in My soul There's a pain in My name, In My name...in My name there's a pain I thought it would be impossible to fly up with broken wings. When the storms of faith will return many homes will be burned I have the pain You have been looking for. My life is like dark abyss where I was born. Second Chorus: I'll light the candle for You and me To pay for regret over lost dream. I'll light the candle for You and me To pay for regret over lost dream. This is the end -they know what Must be done to fill You up with fear. They are already here -inside of You. Tempted by your failures. Fill Your flesh to let You feel fear Which doesn’t let You forget Your head is still full of memories which Don't let You fall asleep Break You down! Gabriel will try to break us down. Break You down! Lucifer will try to break us down.
5.	Pain No More 05:16	lyrics	buy track
Pain No More I just woke up and I know that you are dead. I want to feel the smell of the wind And the scent of the burning leaves again. It brings Me back all the forgotten faces. I wish I could see Your face one more time... Trees, Your leaves whisper the thoughts of the wind. You did Me a favor as I found myself within You. All of Us have our roots somewhere. Mine belong to the place I want to forget about. Wind You know why… But I follow a different path... I wish I could hear Your voices and laughter. It would give Me the strength to go on. I can hear The blow of the wind instead. Instead of families-thousands of Candles at Home. One home has one candle One candle has one family One family has one love Everything lost.
6.	Exile 04:24	lyrics	buy track
. Exile Exile – I've begun my exile Exile – I've taken my first steps Exile – To erase my past. Exile – So many roads are closed Exile – I have chosen to wander Exile-Where I'm heading there is a bridge Exile-that gives me my identity Exile-I will find myself there! Chorus: Experience pain and sadness To breaking point Experience dark deeds and thoughts If I have only nothing-nothingness is all I have If I have only nothing-nothingness is all I have If I have only nothing-that's what I have! If I have only nothing-that's what I have! I will find Myself there, I will find Myself…
7.	Death Is My Only Friend 04:48	lyrics	buy track
Death is My Only Friend Finding myself in sorrow - I suffer... Shield my face from the light-my other self. Hiding my tears so that they will not take the lie Of my balance away from Me. I smile at this thing that I am yet the abyss smiles back at Me... Spending time with Myself, I have found That I am my own greatest antithesis. Chorus: I want You all to bleed so as to make You understand the bitter taste of pain. That I receive each doomy day. So You shall come to understand - Good Is no final solution… So You shall come to understand that Evil always follows... What keeps My mind is the thought of evil, The evil that provides my strength to survive! I shall ascend in my wrath... Whoever thou art., give me a chance for revenge! Give Me hope - My words will be heard.
8.	Thorns from the Savior's Crown 04:08	lyrics	buy track
Thorns from The Savior's Crown I'm giving you life To let You die. I'm giving You cross To make Your life hard I'm giving You love To waste Your heart I'm giving You smile To stab you in the back! Chorus: We are the thorns from the Savior’s Crown We are the Sun when all is gone We are the thorns from the Savior’s Crown We are the Sun! I'm giving You light To show You real darkness I'm giving You night To bring You nightmares I'm giving You hope To waste Your time I'm giving You smile To stab you in the back Chorus We are the thorns from the savior’s crown We are the Sun when all is gone We are the thorns from the savior’s crown We are the Sun! When all is gone x3 When all is lost! My sign will make You fall down My sign will make you fall
9.	For "The All" Reasons 05:02	lyrics	buy track
For "The All" Reasons Every time it rains I get this feeling that the Heavens weep for You. Despite those thousands of stars… I feel more lonely, almost empty You wanted me to learn of hope Yet Gabriel gave me hatred So are You now ashamed of us? Or is it what was meant to be? Free Will won't always lead to Good...it never does. Chorus: Have we failed You, or maybe have You failed us-Envy Have we failed You, or maybe have You failed us-Greed Have we failed You, or maybe have You failed us-Anger Have we failed You, or maybe have You failed us? Error, error.. Every time it rains I get this feeling that the Angels weep for You. Despite those thousands of stars in the Heavens I feel more lonely, almost empty You wanted me to learn of love Yet Gabriel gave me hatred So are You now ashamed of us? Or is it what was meant to be? Free Will won't always lead to Good...it never does. Why are You silent? Why are You silent? Is that why You are not there? The time of changes , is coming now! This is my time! Envy, geed, hostility-could any of these be the traits Which people bear into Your likeness? I think those lips tell lies; however, the eyes cannot hide any falsehood... Is that why You are not there? Why are You silent? …Lisa’s eyes were the color of hope -none of which is left within me...
10.	Psalm bezskrzydly (The Wingless Psalm) 04:38	lyrics	buy track
Psalm bezskrzydły Dlaczego nie dałeś mi skrzydeł? A w zamian dałeś mi rozum I serce tak ciężkie Od krwi? Bym wzleciał na skrzydłach By miast Wierzyc, by widzieć Bym widział, by wierzyć I śnic. Dlaczego nie dałeś mi skrzydeł? Dlaczego idąc do Ciebie, Odchodzę od Ciebie Choć tak mi wciąż Ciebie Jest brak? Chciałbym nieść światło Choć wiem ze był taki, Co go nie doniósł I spadł Dlaczego nie dałeś mi skrzydeł? Wołam do Ciebie z Ciemnej Doliny Czerwieńszy niż krew, Ciemniejszy niż noc Bez gwiazd: A jeśli uwierzę, Ze wszystko to tylko Samotność, zwątpienie I strach? Dlaczego nie dałeś mi skrzydeł? Zabrać mi rozum, Zabrać mi serce I oczy i ręce Dziś chciej. Im bardziej chce skrzydeł, Tym bardziej bezskrzydły I Ciebie wciąż w sobie mam mniej. The Wingless Psalm O’ why did You give me no wings And give me my mind in return And this heart so heavy With blood? So that I will soar on my wings That I won’t have to believe to see But I shall see to believe And dream. O’ why did You give me no wings? And why when walking to You, I walk away from You? Though I feel that I miss You So much. Wish I could carry light Though there was one, so I’ve heard, Who failed to bear it till the end And fell O’ why did You give me no wings? From the darkest valley I call out to You Still redder than blood, Darker than a night With no stars What if I believe That all of it is nothing But loneliness, doubt And fear? O’ why did You give me no wings? Take my mind, Take my heart And my eyes and hands today Away. The more I want my wings The more wingless I am And the less of You I find within myself.

about

London/Cracow-based band Serpentia, that released two highly acclaimed albums for Metal Mind Productions in the previous decade, returns with third full release. The album entitled "The Day In The Year Of Candles" will be the first Serpentia recording since 2004 when "Nails Enigma" hit the stores.

Since June 2011 the band is working at Gorycki & Sznyterman studio in Cracow to record its third album. Jarek Baran, who worked with the band in the past at their debut „Dark Fields Of Pain” (as well as with such acts as Fear Factory, Paradise Lost, Delights) is recording and producing this new effort. The reports documenting the recording process can be already viewed at bands official Youtube channel - www.youtube.com/user/serpentia96

The artwork was designed by Michał Karcz. Similarly to previous album the band prepared full lyrical concept for this album. This time the story begins in Heaven. After the misterious disappearance of God, the archangel Gabriel proclaims heaven the republic - this decision will begin the unexpecter war in heaven, hell and on earth. The story of betrayal, conspiracy, search for own identity - these are just several plots of the story called "The Day In The Year Of Candles".
