Kylyra

Act I - The Descent

    1. In the Land of Death and Joy - The Spell of Ezrazellda

      Can you hear them call you
      In the land of death and joy
      I will go there with you
      To the land of death and joy
      Days will wear your soul thin
      Flow on through on southern wind
      Lost in shame and grace and pain
      In the steel your mind will tame
      Lay down your earthly hopes and dreams
      Nothing here is as it seems
      Ishtar sings out from the shore
      As Marduke takes his men to war
      Find the joy in death and pain
      And you may live well yet again
      Dive into your pool of fear
      And lose all that you now hold dear

    2. 1000 Stairs- The Descent of Ishtar into Hell

Act II- In Hell

    3. Lost Souls - The Tormenting of Ishtar

    4. My Demons Inside - The Fracturing of Ishtar

      Am I sad
      Am I glad
      Have I gone mad
      My Demons Inside
      Here I am in Section D
      Breathing in air that I can see
      Why can't they let me be
      My Demons Inside
      Here I wait inside my cell
      Held forever in a spell
      What's the answer? I can't tell
      My Demons Inside
      Here I am in Section D
      A thousand years and still not free
      Why can't you save me
      From the Demons
      From the Demons

    5. Interlude - The Sentencing of Ishtar by Ezrazellda

      Ezrazellda speaks, " And how are we doing today, sister? Do you know that the mosquito may live only 4 days, never thinking about time? And your mighty oak tree can live 500 years, watching time slowly change? Humans live an average of 72 years, forgetting about time, running from time, and trying to slow time down. They are doomed to a cycle of birth and death, only to be born again to be tormented for another lifetime. Pleasant dreams, sister."

    6. The Long Dreaming - The Many Lives of Ishtar

    7. Spider - The Moment of Decision

      Spider waits for me
      With electric eyes
      Waits for me to choose
      Shall I live or die?
      In his spider sleep
      Reality
      Thread on thread the same
      To live or die
      Waiting to die
      Waiting to die
      Waiting to die
      Waiting to die

Act III- The Ascent

    8. Interlude - The Awakening of Ishtar

      A voice out of the darkness speaks, "You're a true believer. But where is all the joy it's supposed to put in your heart?"

    9. pianofortisimo - The Balancing of Ishtar

    10. Interlude - The Realization of Ishtar

      Ishtar speaks, "I had a dream once. I was in a big house filled with rooms. For years I ran from room to room, looking for a way out. I finally found a room I'd never been in before. Hidden behind furniture was a door. When I touched the doorknob, the door swung open. It was open all the time."

    11. Ezrazellda - The Scorn of Ishtar

      She cries for my forgiveness
      She lies for my forgiveness
      She tries to buy my forgiveness
      She'll die before she has forgiveness
      I looked into my sister's face
      And etched upon it I saw the trace
      Of her fear
      Of her fear
      Maliciousness was in her eyes
      The guilty burden of her sighs
      She carries on
      She carries on
      Our vigil held the night he died
      She couldn't wait to say goodbye
      I felt his pain
      I felt his pain
      Deliberatly she wounded him
      Adding to her list of sins
      She didn't care
      She didn't care
      She held her breath till I was down
      Then kicked me further in the ground
      Out of spite
      Out of spite
      She hates me so for all I am
      She can't be me and I don't give a damn
      For her soul
      For her soul

    12. Interlude - Threshold (spoken) - The Reunification of Ishtar

      We stand, like children
      At a doorway
      Shamefaced and sullen
      Fear cementing our feet
      Desire infecting us
      Time dissolves us away

    13. Threshold - The Ascent of Ishtar
