Curtains down.
No one around.
Lights dimmed out.
Your eyelids are moving.
Recovering consciousness.
Lucidity.
Distress.
They did what they should.
"It’s for your own good."
They know what you need:
Protection, detention,
Deletion of memories.
"Stay in bed.
Forget."
Run, don't turn around.
Keep yourself above ground.
Will they be after your mind
On the other side?
You're misled.
What's in your head?
Perilous thoughts,
Forbidden ideas.
We'll make it all disappear.
Stay in bed.
Forget.
Run,
don't turn around.
Detention, dillusion
After your mind
Memory shows me mirrors,
Each with a different reflection of my face.
I know I've seen them all,
I've been them all,
And when the shadows fall
I hear a distant call,
A demon I cannot erase.
A shadow of the past is chasing me,
Reminding me how things used to be.
Wherever I reside I still can see.
See the fire rain upon the melting ice.
See the world collapse before your very eyes.
Run away now! [Ooh ooh]
No place to hide.
See a foreign flag upon the city hall.
See the idols rise where the heroes fall.
Run away now! [Ooh ooh]
Too late to fight.
Run for your life!
Reformation,
Devastation,
Of a nation,
Deprival of the crown.
Burning pages
Of the ages.
Our stage is
The future starting now.
See the soldiers march through the empty streets.
See the temples rise while the country bleeds.
Run away now! [Ooh ooh]
Let’s make it clear:
I have dreamt a thousand dreams
Where stars could fall, where fire froze and I could talk to trees.
And when I told you of them, you would say:
Too bad the world is not this way.
And yet the world is turning.
I have spent my life learning to think like this.
But now my skin is burning,
While you freeze. And I know
You make it what it is.
Wherever you go
There’s so much more to know.
Whatever you say
There’ll be another day.
I’ll run as far as I can go
I’ll run through fire, rain and snow.
Reborn to live a brand new life
I will be back before you know.
I’ve lived a life in waiting, wondering why
My lucky star is never seen through all the clouds in the sky.
But now I know the world is coloured by the watcher’s eye.
I throw that life away.
My sky is blue today.
Wherever you go
There’s so much more to know.
Whatever you do
There’s always time for another
you.
I’ll run as far as I can go
I’ll run through fire, rain and snow.
Reborn to live a brand new life
I will be back before you know.
Wherever you go
There’s so much more to know.
Whatever you do
There is another chance for you.
I’ll run as far as I can go
I’ll run through fire, rain and snow.
Reborn to live a brand new life
I will be back before you know.
Run as far as I can go,
Through fire rain and snow.
Reborn to live a new life
I will be back.
Can you see
What I see?
All the beauty that has seized to be.
How could we
Go so wrong
To kill the paradise where we come from,
The one and only place where we belong?
Keep away
Let me be
Close the door
I don't want to hurt you more
Look around
Can't you see
We live to crash and kill
So won't you come with me?
We are the rays of a frozen sun
Rays of a frozen sun.
Broken glass,
Empty floors...
Tell me how these means could help the cause?
Wished to be
Someone else,
Somewhere else between the best of Hells.
A messenger from the Western front
Reports the battle was a human hunt.
We drew back,
He says and tries his best to dismount.
In a distant land the prince laid his hands upon
Many years ago, the rebellion rages on.
Your Highness, please, you have to send more troops!
Your army lies out scattered in minor groups.
We won’t hold much longer
Your Highness, send more troops!
They’ve been doing their best
To protect their conquest.
It was all so long ago,
But it feels so close.
We’re all going through
Another self composed
Reflection of our history.
So long ago…
Advisors told him there were other ways.
We lost a thousand men in seven days,
Give them back their lands before
They turn into a blaze!
Wasting all the arms and men is inefficient,
Considering the size of the province.
But for the prince retreat was not a tack.
He knew but one way of giving back.
Gather up his forces,
And lead them to attack.
We will sacrifice anything
For the sake of the pride of our nation.
It was all so long ago,
But it feels so close.
We’re all going through
Another self composed
Reflection of our history.
So long ago…
We're in the mirror of the past.
We repeat every move,
Every forgotten mistake.
It was all so long ago,
But it feels so close.
We’re all going through
Another self composed
Reflection of our history.
Has anyone seen the truth?
Does anyone know what it is?
Does anybody know how to find the truth
And tell it from a lie?
Mirror mirror on the wall,
Who's the fairest of them all?
Is it possible
If it’s invisible?
What we know is what we like.
What we see is what we expect.
What we tell is what we wish to.
But what we are is truth.
Thinking is the weekest link -
What you are is what you think.
We are invisible.
We are invisible.
We are invisible
To the eyes of the world.
Our deeds - unpredictable,
Our spirit - invincible.
We are invisible
And the secrets we hold
Will stay unperceivable.
Our truth we shall never unfold.
Words cannot describe,
Mirrors cannot show
What is hidden by this changing mask,
Painted by the world.
Master, rebel, slave or clown...
Who's behind them all deep down?
It's impossible.
It's invisible.
Lightening cannot break,
Wind cannot blow away
Those who once escaped their shells to be
One with everything,
Nothing's wrong and nothing's real.
Only Joker wins the deal.
Darkness
(Dark shadows on the walls of stone.
There is no sign of dawn.)
Stretches over the skyline,
The city sleeps a nervous sleep.
(Worrying about tomorrow but the
Fortress guard is up.)
The rising wind with a
smell of smoke
(The wind is carrying a smell of smoke.
Seems like the enemies have already woken.)
The rising beat of a heart in trouble
(Hope for the best and ease your fears.)
Ease your fears; there will be more to fear tomorrow.
(Tonight is the night so keep on watching, guard.)
Keep on watching, guard.
(You’ve got to be patient.)
Until the fortress falls
We shall protect her walls.
Here stand we all for one and one for all.
Silence
Speaks of secret awareness
The things to come so feared and predicted
Are about to start.
(The fortress walls are thick,
but every brick wares a shed of doubt.)
A shed of doubt rising too intense,
(A sensibility defied by will.)
Defied by will as entirely senseless…
(The task is a challenge so have it pictured.)
Have it pictured in your head before you see it.
(The fight is tonight so keep on watching, guard.)
Keep on watching, guard.
(You've got to be patient,
got to keep watching,
got to keep watching.)
Until the fortress falls
We shall protect her walls.
Here stand we all for one and one for all.
The sound of horns in two icy tones
The lightened sky, a parade of torches.
Every moment of this night can be your last one.
Keep on watching, guard,
See this beautiful place
Beyond time and space
That shines of glory and grace.
It holds a reason to live and
Something good to believe in
And love to embrace.
You thought you’d found what you’ve been longing for all your life,
A velvet dream that kept you warm and helped you stay alive.
Yet there’s a bitter truth you know but fear to say it aloud -
The day will come and you will feel it’s time to give it all up.
It’s only…
One more thing to say goodbye to,
One more memory to fade in time.
On a cold winter day
When life seemed pointless and grey
Three children gathered to play.
The game enchanted their minds
And brought a sense to their lives.
They played it hours away.
It was the symbol of their friendship and their guiding light.
They made a promise to each other then to stay allied
For all eternity, to keep on playing day and night.
But once they grew up they got down to earth afraid of height.
It was just…
One more thing to say goodbye to,
One more memory.
A man with scientific lust
Researched the ashes and dust
To find a key to the past.
To ease a neurotic strife,
The greatest work of his life
He had completed at last.
But though the mysteries were solved and truth was free to fly,
He found it cannot change the world however hard you try.
The course of history forever will remain a lie.
The past is gone and you’re not blessed before the day you die.
It’s only…
One more thing to say goodbye to,
One more memory.
One more squad of false illusions,
The night fairy covers
The sky with stars,
[Aah aah]
An amethyst moon
Your bed with light embalms.
[Aah aah]
Let me tell you a story
Of a distant past.
[Aah aah]
Let me show you a secret
In which you have to trust.
[Aah aah]
Let me tell you a story
[Come hear my story]
From a far territory
[So far away]
Where the time stands still
Fairy tales are real.
Lie still and close.
Here the story goes…
Here is your bedtime story
[Your bedtime story]
Of a brave hero’s glory,
[A hero's tale]
Lost in dusty haze
My heroic days
Have been and gone,
But my story goes on.
I've travelled through years,
I've travelled through time.
[Aah aah]
To a magical world
Seen by no eyes but mine.
[Aah aah]
A world beyond reason,
no eye can perceive,
[Aah aah]
Where wonders can happen
