[Instrumental]

Shut mind holds me down
Chains me to the ground
My soul drags around, asleep

Help me to grow
I'm in pain
Deep down I know
I'm insane

Kill it when it's time
It's not when I am
Selfless self, awake

Weigh anchor now
Self destruct
To rise higher
And find the answer to life

Face it - It's ugly
Feel it - I'm afraid

I look up to the sky
The sky looks down at me
There's nothing I can do
There's no way to be free
And all of these people
Will never take a walk
Just outside of their cells
Until they ring the knell
On their final day

My life - Is a burden
Their lives - Always will

Lying to themselves
And living in a dream
That no one ever dare
To cast upon, a beam
Release is beyond hope
For those who are afraid
Of opening their eyes to the Grand Quagmire
For what it really is

Oh ! Escape from the Grand Quagmire
Oh ! Escape from the Grand Quagmire
I dare you !

Stand, for this is your last chance
Quit this never ending trance
The ever lasting Devil's dance
Today or never
I stand
I stand

I read the truth on the walls
Why choose to fade in the night
I chose to follow the call
Today I came to say goodbye
Goodbye

Hear the sound of life
When it speaks a key to the unknown
Wait for the insight
When all things appear to be whole
Stare at the night sky
For it is a reflection of your soul
Live to know the real why
What's above is as what is below

Men of stone will remain
Washed away by cold rains
Until they fade away
An ocean of frozen tears
Left behind as all there is to remember

Spread away the softest word
Anywhere it can be heard by golden hearts
When the Sun stops shining
Find the will to look within
And find the brightest spark

Searching relief from heaviness
The core of a burning desire
We feel the strain of loneliness
When all appears to be so... so...
Far away
The age of liars has ended
The age of liars has ended

Be it, be true
Right your wrongs and never look back
Children of the Earth
No self, One is all
Nobody's soul is left alone
In the great beyond
Be it, be true
Right your wrongs and never bow ! Bow ! Bow!

Become the great Other
Flowing down the path of rivers
Floating on the highest of clouds
Gather the Sun of your leaves
And shine

Two stars, two lights
Two paths for the traveller
Awake in the late hour
I'll stay alert tonight

A tinkering in my ear
A shiver on my skin
It's catching me here
That wolfish machine

[Instrumental]

A step in the dark
For a glimmer of hope
I can see the inner sky
Like a fog before my eyes
'Cause somewhere behind the veil
We must walk the higher trail

To the Home of Mysteries
To the heart of all there is

Hey ! Stargazer
Hope will never fail you
Enjoy your infinite view

Can you see the guardians?
Can you hear their words?

Hey! Moongazer
Chief of the ancients
Dance, dance around the pyre


Can you see the guardians?
Can you hear their words?
They guard the entry
To the Home of Mysteries

Whispering rain
Singing again
For the wanderer lost in the plain
(When no one is here to guide him back and the Sky is going black)
I hear him now
Crying alone
Lost, gone beyond the frontiers of awe
(And no one has loved hm by the past, no one he ever saw)

A handful of dead tree seeds
A handful of dead tree seeds

Dead forest of oaks
Take roots in the mud
The ancestral smokes
Hide the source of our blood

Darkened waters
Drink or die
Faith for the blind
And blind men fall

Eye for an eye
Blood for blood
Justice for the blind
And blind men fall

Bones, sorcerers and death
Penumbra be my friend
As I travel down this path
Who trusts the witch
The one alone
(She lives - she dies - she lives again)
And no one will stop her

Are we doves or ravens?

We punish magic
We just forget
Crucify the truth
And dance until we die

But are we doves or ravens?
Tell me!

[Instrumental]

Wind blows around
Carrying the dreams of men forgotten
Remains of their bodies
Blending with the ancient land

What's left for us
Stepping on a soil made of dead dreamers
Eyes to the skies at night
Looking up but too blind to see

We were the dreamers
We blended down

Ruins of the past
Telling us a story, no one dares to read
Hope still scattered around
For believers to gather

One step outside
Just outside of our shells (outside of our selves)
To breathe the dream
Let's be adventurers
Let's live to discover

[Instrumental]

New blood for our dying home
Give us new blood for our home
End the cycle of blood
Men of the new dawn
Wash it away

We're hanging by a thread
Above the pits of of darkness
Cold ashes of the past
Dropped away to nowhere
Beware the lightsayers
Take care of your fears
Behold the end of time
Jailbreak the stronghold of our minds

The wise and the mighty
Together again
Be there a new king
To start a new reign
I can see your silhouettes
Emerging from the fog
Thousands of years old
I see you through the Raven's Eye

[Instrumental]
