["Everything changes tonight"]
Finally arriving at the keep
Reaching safety - the child asleep
Altars of atonement aqainst the walls
Whispering echoes in the endless halls
rough carved corridors painted blood red
Sparks of explosion from the distant bloodshed
Illuminates the sky with colours of gold
As the last story of the pilgrims unfold
["A long awaited journey. Now we're finally on the way. We leave behind the comfort of the poet's town..."]
Beautiful this broken town , even though it's fled by man
White doves flying in the sun , above desert sands
Where the city stood , now ruins stands
Sitting in Darkness with Tales To Tell
Arguing , drinking all night as well
The last fair or pilgrims with answers to gain
To go to the valley and meet with "The One" in vain
Drifting down the river
From the railing we stare
Journey on to the sea of grass
The old barge will take us there
Led along by mysterious crew
Bright shiny eyes and skins of blue
The last fair of pilgrims with answers to gain
To go to the valley and meet with "The One" in vain
Drifting down the river
From the railing we stare
Journey on to the sea of grass
["Approaching the storm"]
...and on they sail without water
Overwhelmed by sudden emotions
Looking at the sky (they'll see)
Luminescence from vast explosions
So we're finally leaving the ship
Haunted by the stench of death
Watching destruction sweep the sky
Everyone will lose their breath
...and on they search for the Templar
Lost from sight in a frenzied bloodbath
Setting out watch, controlling weapons
Invisible monster on a killing path
So we're finally leaving the ship
Haunted by the stench of death
Watching destruction sweep the sky
One hour ago - a step back in time
The season drew the pupils in my eyes
When the water turned to blood
It turned my guilt into the lies
Gold is the metal of purity
My body has turned in for good
Every crawling corner in my mind
Changing the things i understood
How can it be - That you're blinded again
You can hear them dying within
the souls under your skin
Crunple in a sea of sin
Gold is the metal of purity
My body has turned in for good
Every crawling corner in my mind
Changing the things i understood
So well - so bright
Im flying away - i cannot stay
dawn breaks free
and pale faces are turning the night
Gold is the metal of purity
My body has turned in for good
Every crawling corner in my mind
Changing the things i understood
So well - so bright
Im flying away - i cannot stay
dawn breaks free
["destruction sweeps the sky"]
[Part one]
[ETERNITY]
[instrumental]
[PART TWO]
[ROOTS]
I can't see whether it's me or my blood that drags me down
thoughts in my head tell me i'm not even around
I can't see no solution to the suffering of the weakest creature of all
One for me is the rope around my neck but i don't want the curtain to fall
illusions of better days - ignored
Buried in a state of mind - absorbed
I don't care anymore cause my world is gone
No hope for you - no hope for me
No hope for everyone
How can i tell the truth when i dont even know if its the truth i tell
Damn it, my friend, i don't care if you won't help
But would you please then put me into my shell
Draw a line in the sand to keep me knowing where your boundaries explode
I don't wish to die but if i had the choice i'd rather not corrode
I will always cry inside - Profane
Inapproachable, yes - insane
I don't care anymore cause my world is gone
No hope for you - no hope for me
No hope for everyone
carved in me to make it last, read it through the splintered glass
Swallowed whole my only hope to lift the grief hiding from the past
Dare not look into these eyes all too aware of the pain i'll find
But i can't resist the temptation search for my soul to leave it all behind
All locked doors inside my head - betrayed
Shadows haunt my loneliness - depraved
[PART THREE]
[LAST CRY]
I quite dont know why i smiled back then
It must have been a memory
Of a place that i have been
Sorry if i said too much and now you know my name
It's just a way to hide myself
Can you tell me why i came
there's no miracles no more and life it goes its ways
water feels like fire
In my hands i'll find my face
For much to long i had my conscience on the floor
Been drifting in a circle till i smashed my head
into the door
[PART FOUR]
[THE END]
It's because the roots are no longer below
they're dead and it's easy to show
Take my hand let's walk through the night
Standing up - I'm looking down
at the ground below
Can't change my situation
by execution
How can it be my life it means so much to me?
I'm doomed anyway - my friend can't you see?
There's no god to save me
From this private hell
No angel of mercy
Comes to my cell
How can it be my life it means so much to me?
I'm doomed anyway - my friend can't you see?
Standing up - I'm looking down
at the ground below
Can't change my situation
by execution
How can it be my life it means so much to me?
I stare at the sky and see
What i've tried to see so many years
the purity of space and time
To see it all through intoxicated tears
Cratinf a trip through hexagonal space
Im fighting the laws of gravity
Burning my eyes to understand
blind agitation 'gainst my own sanity
you can fool a man forever
Fill him with you lies
You can fool mankind once
Drawing a web of lies
Burning their eyes to understand
you can't fool mankind forever
I've never tried to embrace myself tight
It's not how i want it to be
And i found in my head that i always did right
Even thoguh you speak angry with me
Spiraling confusing appears
As the world keeps coming back
What i felt is description of ALL
And madness is my only friend
you can fool a man forever
Fill him with you lies
You can fool mankind once
Drawing a web of lies
Burning their eyes to understand
"I have often wondered if the majority of mankind ever pause to reflect upon the occasional titanic
significance of dreams, and of the obscure world to which they belong".
I eager for knowledge
And the power to travel beyond
It's the soul within i'm after
to journey with you is my bond
Towards Algol - The demonstar
We fly above valleys so deep
In the shining mists of Orion's sword
We'll meet beyond the walls of sleep
More than two thousand years from now
Evil empire Tsan-Chan will appear
And what you call ancient egypt
Is where i'll dwell next year
Towards Algol - The demonstar
We fly above valleys so deep
In the shining mists of Orion's sword
We'll meet beyond the walls of sleep
The timegate reopens
Subsuming the minds of the traitors made me crazy
Insomnia's their way of paying back
My powers are lost, I'm calling the grand master
Hidin' in her shelter at Black Crag
The longlasting winter, the fall of Nodonn
Adversary's coming, his breed on the run
Predicted in old tales, envisioned before
Indications of the Nightfall War
Searching the land for the metallurgist
Only he can build the timemachine
The children of Abbaddon I protect now
Hidin' them within my mental screen
The longlasting winter, the fall of Nodonn
Adversary's coming, his breed on the run
Predicted in old tales, envisioned before
Indications of the Nightfall War
Floating in trance in the Quicksilver pool
The lion, the dragon the eagle the healers
Symbols of being reborn in the world of living
Will shine on forth in pain
The conquesting races in false harmony
Gathered on the ancient Filed of Gold
I saw through their treachery saw through their lies
Their minds are now ashes their bodies are now cold
The longlasting winter the fall of Nodonn
Adversary's coming his breed on the run
Predicted in old tales envisioned before
Indications of the Nightfall War
The war…
“…and now, no one shall doubt my power
For I am the non-born king and only I rule the manycoloured land”
Sinners on their chance to strike. willing to let die
To reap the harvest of one's work, now it's time to crucify
Crawling under lines of blama, in their hands they've got your fate
Now we've lost the game of man, misjudged by laws we hate
Shout, let me hear you preaching - listen to your pathetic
Shout, let us hear your story, now that we haven't got a choice
Shout, let me hear you preaching - listen to your pathetic
Shout, let us hear your story, now that we haven't got a choice
Lost Souls
Holding on to an illusion based upon a tale
The ladder's leading down to Hell, our souls are now for sale
Weak and helpless on our knees we're looking at the sky
Time will run, the blood will flow as life is passing by
Shout, let me hear you preaching - listen to your pathetic
Shout, let us hear your story, now that we haven't got a choice
Shout, let me hear you preaching - listen to your pathetic
Shout, let us hear your story, now that we haven't got a choice
Lost Souls
Truth won't be the same when one is born
There's no reason in the world, but we are movin' on
Cursed by the palm of God
Bright - hope blinded eyes
If everyone had a chose, religion would fade at dawn
Lost Souls
One day we will understand there are no winners in this race
Caused by your religion thoughts, we'll vanish without a trace
With one hand on the holy book, you're reaching for a gun
Put your hands together, praise the lord for what he has done
Shout, let me hear you preaching - listen to your pathetic
Shout, let us hear your story, now that we haven't got a choice
Shout, let me hear you preaching - listen to your pathetic
Shout, let us hear your story, now that we haven't got a choice
Truth won't be the same when one is born
There's no reason in the world, but we are movin' on
Cursed by the palm of God
Bright - hope blinded eyes
If everyone had a chose, religion would fade at dawn
Lost Souls
I see no sense in what's going on
U sense no meaning, I see no light for us all
Cold chill in spine shows me no future
There's no safety around us - no protection, no wall
Blind ignorance throuth generations
It's hidden black on white, I turn to stare
There's a taste of blood in my mouth
It's sick, when I breathe the air
I see no light in the ways that I choose
No matter how I twist and turn, I lose
I see no light in the ways that I choose
No matter how I twist and turn, I lose
I can't escape the numb feeling of
Perpetual deceiving dreams again
Problems too dark to touch, we're reaching
Critical mass - The end
I see no light in the ways that I choose
No matter how I twist and turn, I lose
I see no light in the ways that I choose
No matter how I twist and turn, I lose
Silence in governments shows the taste of fear
Our world is falling apart, it's in the atmosphere!!
The timegate remains closed
Silence approach the manycoloured land
The domination is broken
Power is for the jester to grasp
Believing the daemon I chokin'
Chaos, rivalry, betrayal and despair
The mad girl, the raven, enthroned as a ghost
Gathering golden Torcs and the 'spear'
The holy weapon of the shattered host
Free humans are makin' bloodmetal weapons
The deadly poison to the ancient foe
As the angel of the abyss
Plans with the jester the final show
A metaconcert - To kill off the girl
Conspiracy - To take over the world
The lord of misrule - Burned by the blizz
Created with faught - By the angel of the abyss
Rebellion, you Tanu brothers
Bonded by blood
The battlemasters survived the flood
…And now you die!
Hovering above the castles of glass
A mindblasting fight for supremacy
The battlemasters revenging his loss
The king is victorious – Triumphantly
The only remains of the giant warrior –
A blackened silver hand
All hail the king of the manycoloured land
You've betrayed the men by your side
People with hopes and with longing
Hopes of an endless Utopia
Now you see that a new plague is coming
...a new plague is coming
now you see that a new plague is coming.....
Take a look at your burning lands
You convinced them that you've got the power
The death and destruction that came from your hands
Will grow 'till it reaches your own tower
...it reaches your own tower
will grow 'till it reaches your own tower...
A ruler is killing for pleasure
In a land all to near
We all look upon a cursed kingdom
The dynasty of fear
Fleeing your homes and your cities
That once to you was so dear
We all look upon a tragic kingdom
The dynasty of fear
The symphony of well-meant ideals
Working in laws of regressive progression
Enchanting the hearts and the souls of men
Dictating their violent agression
...their violent agression
dictating their violent agression...
A ruler is killing for pleasure
In a land all to near
We all look upon a cursed kingdom
The dynasty of fear
Fleeing your homes and your cities
That once to you was so dear
We all look upon a tragic kingdom
The dynasty of fear
Outro
Did I really sin?
Should I suffer these bleedings within?
All of my body lying stigmatised
Beneath my skin - A flood oversized
Baptised - Sacrificed - Cannibalised!
I know now that every man has his deadly sins
Based on the scale of his own hollow conscience
Will everyone feel the bleeding deadly touch?
Or was 8 just a number too much?
Soul transition - Pain ignition - Blood corruption!
What if my reasons to believe have turned invalid?
What if I desire to deceive have proven solid?
What if I missed the difference of ecstatic and
fanatic?
While the gypsies dance around on the fairground’s down trod grass they grin, and I can hear their music coming from everywhere as if born from the wind.
Nothing can take away the arousing energy – the men resemble, nor the beauty of their women, clad in dresses so overwhelming…
I am in heaven every night, when the gypsies dance…
…dancing in small steps, making the gravel jump in a colour display, reflecting the light of the shiny torches, burning their fuel away.
Thousands of light bulbs illuminate the summer night in eerie shapes that twist and turn and makes me dizzy with excitement and euphoria.
Intro
Caught in the afterlife, or in limbo... Who can tell
Save me from the everlasting grief that they call hell
Eight internal bleedings; Stigmata - 1 per sin
I conmited all of them; My cleansing can begin
"Blood preasure weak... Broken and torn
A sinner who was cursed from the day he was born"
Looking at the whitened ceiling through a cloud of
blood
Drifting in and out of consciousness in memory-flood
In my search for the light, I travel back in time
For my deadly sins to be uncovered as a holy crime
"Cellular death... The soul has left his eye
Nothing to do - nurse, please take him away to die"
What if my mortal remains are all that proved I was
here?
What if I didn't leave a mark in people's sphere?
What if my deadly sins were my way to make you see?
"...Branded deep inside with the mark of melancholy"
It hurts so much inside, like a lethal chill down my
spine
The destruction of my pride strangled this heart of
mine
I have to live with this tragedy, get used to
everybody's stare
A wilted flower inside of me, I know you no longer
care
I had a dream of breacking out from all the others
To me there was no other plan
Lost to myself now in a hole of self-destruction
Help me like no one can
...But what about me?
What about my destiny
No one else but me
Could see the tragedy
I'm drowning inside with apathy
My fires have disappeared, like the hopes of a better
My future sadly weird, the insanity has come to stay
I see you in the darkest night, talking through my
maze of depression
I almost feel your light, I turn my back on you with
no hesitation
I had a dream of breacking out from all the others
To me there was no other plan
Lost to myself now in a hole of self-destruction
Help me like no one can
...But what about me?
What about my destiny
No one else but me
Could see the tragedy
Now that everything is lost my colours they are slowly fading
I cast no shadow but another level is waiting
Journey through the black abyss is only in my fevered mind
Even time and space have gone - impossible to find
From far beyond the nothingness - the end
A twilight voice is calling me back again
Waiting at the bottom of the sea in giant twisted cities
The story of mankind is soon to be unwritten
Boundaries of dim expansion growing to a roaring river
I'm screaming silent - I'm raving mad with fever
From far beyond the nothingness - the end
A twilight voice is calling me back again
I stare into the darkness
trying to believe my eyes
Through eons dwelling formless
Now it's time for you to rise
Come rest thy tired soul until forever ends
Rest until you know the future again on you depends
Then go and free your mind - make up another paradise
And the humans will be waiting...
When forever ends i'll be thy servant, i'll be there for you
your rotten smell is sweet - delight in mystery
I will gaze into your eyes with black amazement in my head
The Great Old Ones will now consume our hopes
From far beyond the nothingness - the end
A twilight voice is calling me back again
I stare into the darkness
trying to believe my eyes
Through eons dwelling formless
SILENCE...!
All the sounds have faded, everyone holds their breath
Suddenly aware of the heavy smell of death
Countless bodies shattered, like confetti on the floor
A single voice in the corner whispers "no more"
Entering the stage, floating like on shiny mist
Cloaked in pitch-black, with a binding silver chime in his fist
Dead eyes staring, at the dying panickering crowd
As he rings the chime monotonous, ears bleeding loud
Out of the sky
Riding on high
On wings of fire they're burning the night
Sharp as a knife
Destroyers of life
Reaping your souls to put out your lights
SOULREAPERS!
Of ancient time, from forgotten stars
Of unknown life, never healing scars
Out of the sky
Riding on high
On wings of fire they're burning the night
Sharp as a knife
Destroyers of life
Reaping your souls to put out your lights
SOULREAPERS!
With a piercing infernal blast, the sealing cracks to the free
A black hole on the black sky, the air filled with intensity
Waves of loaded energy, hits the frozen mass
Followed by the roaring sound, of ignited gas
Bursting out of the black, an ancient creature of old
Engulfed in living flames, but still the air is cold
Bodies rising from the ground, bleeding when stripped of their souls
A last victorious scream, as it fades into the black hole
Today the sky is gray
gray as the thoughts in my head
And i have been down for so long
always endless trails i tread
I've climbed the highest mountains
But I still can't reach the top
Looking at a wasteland
That just never seems to stop
Come walk with me the world to see
And look for understanding
Come walk with me blue sky to see
And hope to be set free
Then like from out of nowhere
a vision comes to me
Picturing the king of eagles
coming from the sea
He talks to me in tongues
That i have never known before
but i notice that i understand
as if it were my own
Come fly with me out to the sea
I'll show you understanding
Come fly with me the end to see
And i will set you free
So now im flying to the sea
To see the world with diffirent eyes
I've found a place to call my own
Dawn of time, the first-born am I
I will be the last one to die
Guardian of the Earth, protector of the sea
To it all I hold the master key
I can tell the faith of mortal men
I can tell you how you die and when
When I'm looking deep into your mind
I can see you're ignorant and blind
Dressed in all colours, called by all names
I disguise as water, earth or flames
I've shown you every dream, shown you every nightmare
Even though you still don't seem to care
I can tell the faith of mortal men
I can tell you how you die and when
When I'm looking deep into your mind
I can see you're ignorant and blind
I am the twilight shadow
I'll enlighten your darkest sins
When forever ends
I'll stop the cause for living
I've seen the way to paradise, I know the road to hell
Where you're going I for sure can tell
The end is closer, your maker you will meet
Destruction of the Earth has been complete
I can tell the faith of mortal men
I can tell you how you die and when
When I'm looking deep into your mind
I can see you're ignorant and blind
A hundred lightyears away, lies a hidden heart
Made up for a purpose, I can't tell
A bridge so insane, it tears my soul apart
Made up for a reason I can't tell
I can't remember my own name
I look around, am I insane?
Eternity is lost, and I am turnin' upside down
Forever in the puzzle of my life
A path of crooked thorns leads my lonely way
Disappears in a distance, I can't tell
A shadow in the dark, makes me so afraid
Whispering me a story, I can't tell
I can't remember my own name
I look around, am I insane?
Eternity is lost, and I am turnin' upside down
Forever in the puzzle of my life
A path of crooked thorns leads my lonely way
Disappears in a distance, I can't tell
A shadow in the dark, makes me so afraid
Whispering me a story, I can't tell
I can't remember my own name
I look around, am I insane?
Eternity is lost, and I am turnin' upside down
Forever in the puzzle of my
Forever in the puzzle of my
Forever in the puzzle of my life
I never thought it'd come to this
The day when freedom was raped and torn
Burned into a cinder
And cast away for us all to mourn
...and if I disconnect sometimes
Just leave me be
If I should disconnect
Just plug me in and see
Freedom - Freedom - Freedom - Freedom!
You keep on giving in to demands
A paradoxical right they have abused
The parasite is slowly eating his host
When freedom dies, you stand accused
...and if I disconnect somehow
Don't you contemplate
If I should disconnect
Just plug me in and wait
Freedom - Freedom - Freedom - Freedom!
Condemn the atrocities committed in the name of the one
Not a trace of remorse to be found
Even if we know that man made god
Not the other way around
...and if I disconnect again
It's just that I'm sick of it all
So if you plug me in
I'll make you beg and crawl
(The timegate is closed...)
(They came from a galaxy far away
to fight their holy war in
The pliocene world called Terra
The manycolored land)
They take a sadistic delight of destroying
In a world of coercive power and might
breeding a new type of hyprid child
To conquer the world without a fight
To condemn the power of strength
The astonishing mental capacity
The tool to obstruct the second
Chance of trying for humanity - for humanity
Healing every wound
No sickness - no aging - no dying
Living for a thousand years or more
The human exiles are crying
To serve the exotics of Tana
They're feeling the gray torcs around their necks
All can they stop mental punishment
If unitu'd fight its way through - fight its way through
A group of lowlifes refusing to submit to the host
Making a plan to destroy the ruling race
the non-born king of humans has the solving in his hands
Deceiving his own - and shows his real face
(Yes...we adopted the humans. They fight our battles, they grow our food,
They operate our mines and factories, they administer our commerce,
They infiltrate our sacret guilds,
They mingle their very blood and genes with our own.
But that is not all. We are faced with the ultimate humiliation -
And once again we have brought it upon ourselves.
For a human now aspires to our high kingship...)
Interrogation - humiliation - blind agression - devastation
The maddened raven creates the earthquake
to break down the barrier to the sea
Killing the host with the flood - catastrophe
The hunter,the dark one is craving your mind
Malicious,your dreaming is seen as a sign
Your breath is burning,in a throat full of scream
No fear,you don't have to die in a dream
Twisted, distorted. out of proportions
The eyes and the mouths are placed in random disorder
Acid smell, fear as its skin starts to gleam
You've taken the chance of dying in a dream
Scream - the chance of dying in a dream -Scream
Scream,scream
Subdue to the metamorphosis of flesh
The pictures, to make you eternally mad
Beyong your reality, nothing is clear
You've waken the old ones and now they are here
Nothing is ever what it seems
Open the gates for me now
The calling for powers, the falling of towers,
Abstract to the weak fragile human mind
Scream - the chance of dying in a dream -Scream
Scream,scream
Like a vampire, living beneath the stars -
I feel burned by the sun
Alive for a single purpose, to bring back the rulers -
to bring back the one
Finally, I found my call, my self has returned -
I'm free, I am strong
And will my faith restored in an entiny -
I'll see the World undone
Open your eyes to see the truth.
Oh, if only you knew.
If you could just see - if you could just hear their voices
You would follow us to the end of the World, and find eternal life.
Clearly I am not mas as I thought -
no one's controlling my mind
I feel inspired yes, but make the calls -
reality's for the blind
Would you really want to wage a war on a foe such as this -
full of might, full of death
I reccomend you to think again -
to become one of us and to bow in awe
Open your eyes to see the truth.
Oh, if only you knew.
If you could just see - if you could just hear their chanting
You would follow us to the end of immortality in eternal times
I would sacrifice my disbelief in you.
Oh, if you open your eyes to see the truth
If you could just see - if you could just hear their voices
You would follow us to the end of the World, and find eternal life.
If you could just see - if you could just hear their commands
You would follow us to be swept away by madness in it's purity
(The timegate is opened...)
I'll desecrate your weak beliefs
You must feel so old
Went out to see another world
And found that it had turned so cold
Stranded in unknown sourroundings
In a place where time has no meaning
Cant seem to find my way out of here
Trapped in a nowhere land
Open my thoughts to the masses
The manticore is my illusion
Cant seem to open the door out of here
Trapped ina a nowhere land
Absent but absolutely there
Consciousness expanding
I know the meaning of it all
That's what im thinking
Stranded in unknown sourroundings
In a place where time has no meaning
Cant seem to find my way out of here
Trapped in a nowhere land
Open my thoughts to the masses
The manticore is my illusion
Cant seem to open the door out of here
Trapped ina a nowhere land
["The loss of a day, through the length of a night"]
Come child join me, now thatthe whiskey
Has turned me into another man
We'll talk and we'll laugh like old times
And we'll try to understand
As I see your face, pale and terrified
It's a nightmare coming true
And believe me daughter , everyday
It's a new you I'm talking to
Old Scholar - man of wisdom
Take your daughter to Hyperion
Now, don't hesitate to come
Put a dagger into her heart
- let her spirit fly to the sun
Let her spirit fly to the sun
How my God can this be true
And why, did it happen to you
Why do I have to stand helpless by
To relive your life too
I come to find upright in bed
To remenber all the tears we have shed
Don't tell me, coz' I already know
I'll let you cry for the twentieth night in a row
I remember you smilling in the sun
I recall everything you and I have done
To relive it everyday is too hard for me
Welcome back little one
I won't hold you back
I won't stand between you and destiny
There were times when I ignored all the signs I was given
And I stand there like a King
Confronting you all, a hall of condemned
Almost like silent puppets on a string
You dance by my hands into the shadows of death
Your pathetic life means nothing to me
Random killings just for my exquisite pleasure
A violent game of destiny
I sit back and enjoy like judge and jury
Playing God...
Walk into my world of pain
Never walk out of here again
Playing God...
Soon I shall reveal for thee
The hatred buried deep in me
"Bones and skulls monumentally piled
To greet your arrival
Inhuman slavery, meaningless surgery
To prevent your survival"
And I stand there like a God
Watching my herd, my dejected flock
Disposing of your kind as if you were never here
Playing God...
Walk into my world of pain
Never walk out of here again
Playing God...
Soon I shall reveal for thee
Waiting for you in a garden of hope
Where the fountain of dying light shines
Taking a stroll through a pleasure plane
Soon my idea of joy redefines
"Silence falls upon me
Silence fills my mind
Images awaken
Misery underlined"
Watching for you in a garden of joy
Where the silent breaths of the roses are heard
Flying alone in my pleasure plane
Experiencing possession by a single word
Wipe my tears away
Find me colours in my life today
In the blink of an eye
See a whole life passing by
Give me reason to live
In spheres of betrayal, we refuse to give
Found you in the garden of truth
Where the treacherous choirs of damnation sing
Killing my soul in the pleasure plane
In castles of sand I shall be the king
"Silence falls upon me
Silence fills my mind
Images awaken
Misery underlined"
Wipe my tears away
Find me colours in my life today
In the blink of an eye
See a whole life passing by
Give me reason to live
["In love and dreams she comes to me... The Keeper of Time"]
Life as a soldier was all to easy for me - To eradicate and annihilate fit my identity
Raised as a fighting machine, to destroy the enemy threat
Suddenly and with no sense you came with the bloodshed
Sons and daughters of war, I have witnessed a creature I can't control anymore
Fell in love with a girl of the future, now talk to me, teach me... war lovers we will be!
You made a difference in the chaos I saw - You gave me a reason not to fight anymore
In between rage and sudden death - You gave me hope - you stole my breath
Brainwashed in the art of war I've got the will to fight on - All sense of humanity is a history
-long gone
Following the orders - no remorse or no fear - You appeared to me
Like a mad dream here
Then you came from a distant unknown, between dream and reality
Fighting together from time to time, now talk to me, teach me... war lovers we will be!
I met you in your past, but in my future in a meeting still to come
And listened to your whispers, you had a voice that made me numb
Your eyes blazed like jewels in the sun as you whispered in my ear
I'll take care of you my love - you've got nothing to fear
When morning came, we kept each other perfectly warm in the chilling breeze
Constantly sand or snow tore at naked walls
Your voice burred with the hint of an accent unknown
Constantly sand or snow tore at naked walls
In a time of passion I close my eyes....... And see :
Bodies burning in the solid laser light
Heat of plasma explosions as I try to survive the night
Fireballs enlarging as I lie among the dead
More dead to come as suns explode in ruby red
THE DYING WORLDS!!!
Star systems, extinct in spasms of deadly fire
Thickened air itself aflame as I can't control my desire
Seas of superheated air rise in vast pulses of flame
Blazing in mad heat - you brought a war from where you came
I have an urge to destroy this abomination that is.
Oh, I don't even dare write the names... they are simply too foul.
And our acceptance has come sweet.
Your desires will be fulfilled, but you have to follow the right path
How did I become like those around me?
It's like a fog, dulling my mind.
And the chaos will disappear.
We opened your eyes to the truth, but you have to embrace it.
What's important is that
I no longer see the obscenities that are the old ones.
They'll guide me as I shall act as their humble servant for all time....
And so shall it be, as we have foreseen,
Going back
Instrumental part
Can I cover your eyes with my hands?
Can I make you walk in my darkened lands?
A pawn to move around in my game of chess
Feeling down?
Come to me child and confess
Oh what I'd give to be able to see
Your shameless mirrored reflections of me
Soulless eyes that try to penetrate
The shell I made, to find out it's too late
I use you solely for the sake of me
In egocentric vile fantasy
Self-indulgent; I am throwing you in the dirt
In my own dark dream
I'm king of the absurd
Can I measure my intelligence on you?
Can I use you as my tool to pass on through?
The halls of dark oblivion thay make
I'm the diamond that was made to never break
"So you wormed your way into my line of thoughts
Passing all the trenches I built to keep you out
And you found the barrier that no one else could break
A synaptic fortress to show you what I'm all about"
Hollowed out by speculation
In everlasting vile equation
Self indulgence; I'm drowing you in the dirt
In my own reality
Left behind, pushed aside
Alone with my confusion
In sickness, in health, 'till death do us 'part
It was all an illusion
After dark, dressed in black
Still my presence is unknown
Watching you, with raging eyes
A side of me I've never shown
The deceit of my trust, the betrayal of my heart
My life in ruins, my world torn apart
Just floating around in a timeless hole
Holding on to my sanity, searching my soul
It feels like the end....
One wrong step, one wrong word
Every stranger you meet is a fake
No one else, deserves you like me
I strike like a slithering snake
The deceit of my trust, the betrayal of my heart
My life in ruins, my world torn apart
Just floating around in a timeless hole
Holding on to my sanity, searching my soul
It feels like the end....
"I let jealousy burn
Maybe then you will learn
As my pace is getting faster
And my rage is turning to laughter
I'm closing in on your back
I'm ready for the attack
I wish that time would re-wind
Too late... I... I... I'm only one step behind"
Terror on your face, horror in your mind
Your heart frozen dead in your chest
A mental note I'll send to you
Saying "I will never rest"
The deceit of my trust, the betrayal of my heart
My life in ruins, my world torn apart
Just floating around in a timeless hole
Holding on to my sanity, searching my soul
why do I see you
when you're not there
I can't believe the things you said
about the stairs
a long climb, a long walk
for no reason at all
your empty eyes of dying pride
forcing you to fall
away - in silence
away - in silence
to stay - in silence
I won't pray
I will remember
the smile on your face
everytime the sun will shine
you will be there again
a long time, centuries
they are killing me
I will hold on to my last beliefs
to find out that you have gone
away - in silence
away - in silence
to stay - in silence
I won't pray
away - in silence
away - in silence
to stay - in silence
I wish I could free myself
Of the arrogance I had when I was younger
But the knowledge does not make up for the pain
For all the pain that I suffer
Nothing really works anymore
This proud machine is falling apart in decay
And the disparaging eyes that stare at me
Makes me want to die today
I know I breed contempt
I felt the same in my first stages
It's just another lesson
That you learn through the ages
I only rejected you to keep away from sorrow
I pushed you away to kill the future pain
To see all your loved ones disappear one by one
Would make an old fool like me go insane
Weakened beyond what I thought was possible
Defying my sense of imagination
I'm crying out from the abyss of desperation
I know I breed contempt
I felt the same in my first stages
It's just another lesson
Tired of pulling knifes out of my back
They say you reap what you sow
But where along the road did I do wrong
I guess I really just don't know
A boy, made man by lines - trenches that deepen day by day
In the dreamland between sleep and reality
On the verge of tears I hate
I have seen the truth
In the eyes of and angel of light
From the bottom of my aching heart
I'm sick of cleaning up after all your quarrels
They say you learn from your mistakes
So now I have to find where I go wrong, where I go wrong
I guess that's really all it takes
In the dreamland between sleep and reality
On the verge of tears I hate
I have seen the truth
In the eyes of and angel of light
My dear friend,
I have visited the freakshow in the circus.
I am appalled at what I saw but at the same time it attracts me and makes me wonder who is the freak between the spectators and the sad souls performing.
Some of them are amputated, some are mutilated.
They're marked and they're scratched, as if cut by knives.
Others are mentally abnormal and disfigured, but they have no other way to get by in their lives.
Stones and rotten fruit thrown at them are breaking them down day by day.
It's an immense institution of humiliation.
I'm sure the screams of pain and endless disgrace will haunt them forever.
To me it's organised desecration.
But when the curtain finally falls and the crowds recede, the show is over and done.
The freaks of the show are counting their money and fall asleep one by one.
They repress the fact that tomorrow will be another day, so they silently dream away, trying in their minds to keep out the unease and meet the scoffing, come what may.
Dear Friend,
I have finally found my call.
I shall tour in these landscapes with a circus of old times.
A carnival that belongs to the ancient travelling people of the old continent.
I would like to write and bid you welcome to the show – it is nothing like you know... but it will surely be something to remember.
I have waited for so long to get to move along and now it is funny how I can feel so small.
I am not going to waste more of your time with my bleak writings and silly rhyme.
My friend,
As you visit the mindbender he presents his show in an extraordinary fashion.
"Welcome to my charming stage, feel free to volunteer.
Spectacular hypnosis all for you who are gathered here.
So don't be afraid my friend, all I can steal is your mind...
Seek absolution and you shall find."
He picked a young woman for hypnosis and said:
"Digging in your past I see your secrets now.
All your childhood fears they will surface anyhow.
So don't be afraid to let it all out, the only thing I can do is plant a seed of doubt.
Stare into my eyes, feel your body relaxing and believe in my lies.
Look into your soul, think that it belongs to me and fall into the endless hole."
In an even eerier voice he bellowed:
"I'll take your fantasies into a deep pit from where they won't disappear.
I will alter your brainwaves so you'll never again think clear.
Now, don't be afraid to let me in, all I can steal is your mind."
And so his chant went on and on and on...
"Stare into my eyes, feel your body relaxing and believe in my lies.
Look into your soul, know that it belongs to me and fall into the endless hole."
My friend,
The ceiling of the tent is sparkling with diamonds and pearls, which seems unnatural but explains the visions of another world through the piercing flash of light that hits me in the eye.
I was afraid, but was told "no one’s here tonight to die."
I have seen star maps in conjunction with gates to infinity.
Doors will be opened for the creatures of old mythology, as ancient phenomena are about to happen within the circus site.
I have been instructed not to reveal a thing to anyone, but I might just get on with my story.
Between the sawdust and the smell of hay I cannot possibly describe for you today how wonderful my visions are of life, deriving from this soul devouring force.
If you just knew about the power these people hold in their hands, you would want to be part of this too. I’ll join the dance that will finally summon them all from far beyond the gates. Do expect my letters to be fewer and shorter these days…
Time has passed since my crusade began
The hours that fled my mind are gone
Still I recognize the feelings that I had
A selfish ignorant me undone
And as I fall from grace
Trapped from time and space
Can't remember the days
The light on your pretty face
I threw away the time I had with you
To show my foolish state of mind
I can't pretend that I was feeling anything
Only darkness I would find
And as I fall from grace
Trapped from time and space
Can't remember the days
The light on your pretty face
"And I can feel no more
I can't see the flaws in my head
The old man on the street is me
I will never ever see
My ignorance! Ignorance!
My ignorance! Ignorance!"
And as I fall from grace
Trapped from time and space
Can't remember the days
And as I fall from grace
Can't remember the days
But there was always something missing out there
There was always something I couldn't put my finger on
The driving force behind me wanting to be number one
Whatever it was, it is now gone
I have come to the ultimate understanding
That this one also has to pass away one day
You are the one to succeed me
You're the one who carry on my reason to be
But you also brought me the apathy to think it was all to no avail
I have finally become complete
You have made me complete
I could die happy, knowing
That I became complete
A veil of destruction crosses my path
And degeneration plants in me a growing seed
It is however but a fleck of dust to me
As you have made me
Helped me
Saved me!
My grand illusion of immortality
Was my youth that now fades away
I gave you life
I fueled the spark that created you
And marked the spot in the horizon, the end to my own tale
I have finally become complete
You have made me complete
I could die happy, knowing
There he stands, silent and proud
Doing his worst to please you, the crowd
Dressed to seduce, in living ropes
Surrounded by an aura of dreams and hopes
Vivid colours in a beautiful blur
Weird shapes to trick your minds
Twisting in and out of form
Reflecting infinite dreams
This is so much more than smoke and mirrors
Mesmerize
Hypnotize
Paralyse
Beauty will fade - wonders will fall
This magic conquers you all
Secrecy is gloomy and pure
Illusions - How can you be sure?
Authoritarian and standing tall
He commands you - one and all
Raise his hands to cast his spell
He has no heart to do you well
Hateful gloomy atmosphere
Astral signs from a future dark
A whispering and crawling fog
Echoes infinite nightmares
This is so much more than smoke and mirrors
Violation
Exploitation
Deprivation
Beauty will fade - wonders will fall
This magic conquers you all
Secrecy is gloomy and pure
Illusions - How can you be sure?
What is real? What is not?
Nothing matters when you lie in your blood
Waiting in silence for the magic trance
Through the portrait you paint, you become the creator, you can destroy at will
The claustrophobic sensation increases
My freedom of speech has been sentenced to death
Before we know it, the sword comes out of its sheath
By the sculpture you mould, you become the creator, you can destroy at will
Level of stupidity increases the more, you choose
Your deity to decide for you
You actively seek discomfort and call for me to feel it too
Find and Destroy them all
For they have no right to live
Find and Destroy them all
For they have the nerve to think
Find and Destroy them all
For theirs are live to spill
Find and Destroy them all
You have his blessing to kill
Keep on believing and you shall receive
You will be filled by his power
But what is there left to believe, believe in nothing
When belief has turned sour
Through the fire you fuel, I become the destroyer, I choose to destroy!
I'm feeling cold, I have grown numb
There's nothing left inside this hollow shell
You killed the freedom and no one lives to tell
Find and Destroy them all
For they have no right to live
Find and Destroy them all
For they have the nerve to think
Find and Destroy them all
For theirs are live to spill
Find and Destroy them all
["I instantly knew by the beauty of the young man that I'd experience a special case"]
A murder without death,just one minute of complete disconnection
Loss of aeons of time, loss of mass amount of information
Left outside the web, with 5 days unaccouted for
A millenium of non-communication
Searching across the galaxy wide for the data lost
Unknown enemies ready to strike, to kill at any cost
Penetrating core periphery, finding the old earth re-creation
Saved in a temple, as I received the implant information
Secrets hidden in lost memory - Together we'll find it, and we'll write history
Beautiful stranger, your life's a mystery - Powered by human genetics and poetry
THE SECRET OF THE LEACHING NETWORK AND U.I.:
Divided in 3, each fighting their own fight
- to gain the same purpose, to gain the same might
Solids argue that between core and humanity
- A certain level of symbiosis is necessary
The non-persistent advocate immediate extinction
- Humans are a threat to complete prediction
Extremes promote the project with obsession
- Reconstruction and retrieval for U.I. culmination
HYPERION! - The penultimate opposition
Non-subject from laws of physics and computerized prediction
Moving back in time with messages of war
The majestic valley graves so disturbing to the core
The outcome is two futures of war and Beast invasion
One's a retroactive strike from core domination
The second is a fist through time sent for core destruction
A final blow from enemies who escaped the non-persistents' extinction
I carry your child and I carry the memory of all you ever were and all you'd ever be
Ans as they take your body away, the frantic worshippers are chanting to me
Another soul departed today
A grieving fact that I have grown used to
Ashes to ashes and dust to what?
A ticket to oblivion when your dear ones follow you
Sickness drained the lake inside me
That I used to shed my tears
Sorrow and sadness in abundance
Left a desert through so many years
Gone forever, all but a memory
A grain of sand in a brief moment in time
The rain is pouring down, saddening me
As I listen to the sound of the church bell chime
Sickness drained the lake inside me
That I used to shed my tears
Sorrow and sadness in abundance
Left a desert through so many years
What is life but a flash of a switch in the light of eternity
Another soul departed today
Accompanied by the choir's song
Another soul departed today
It took a little part of me along
Sickness drained the lake inside me
That I used to shed my tears
Sorrow and sadness in abundance
