You lead me
I do need redemption Whenever I don't know I feed you balance We will not rest Until the search ends I bleed for you I voluntarily give myself I need my fraility Oh so soon I will unfold I bleed for you I voluntarily give myself 02. Great Ocean Road Music by René Rutten, Hugo Prinsen Geerligs Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
It is all there
The earth and the ocean They contain the power of our lives This beautiful city that surrenders to the nightfall Carving the grounds we walk upon And the air We all dare to ride it somehow Blue and black is the sky While tumbling down Trapped into the freedom of an aeroplane Deprived of sleep we jump into the deep With no knowledge whatsoever There is no place on the face of this earth Only silence is the sound of an angel 03. Rescue Me Music by René Rutten Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
All I want
is to be where you are Wisdom will nurse you Pass your sense on to me Weigh my hands And help me I gasp for air what is the wear That shows on my face Pass your sense on to me Weigh my hands Rescue me I rinse my face in water My breath runs out in the waves 04. My Electricity Music & lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
I send your name
up into the sky And the wind blows it back into my face You see, even nature reacts on me And all my electricity will make it across your sea With every wave the sea makes My body gets weaker and weaker... and weaker.. You see, even nature reacts on me And all my electricity will make it across your sea And provides you with my love 05. Liberty Bell Music by René Rutten Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
No brainwaves or activity
while the craft is in the air It's getting dark, it's getting light we are sitting in a chair We have fastened every belt we cannot float out of our seats It's so enormously frightening When our tail reaches superheat Another timezone a change of season it is turning dark again We're getting ready for yet another orbit around our planet It is time for the galactic cruise To come to an end One last view on the world and the time we have spend 06. Red Is A Slow Color Music by René Rutten Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
The black house in in my street
looks too dark just to go inside But when I do I cannot move because of the mess in the hallway The picture on the wall is chaotic I don't want to look at it But when I do I cannot speak because of the confusion in my head I am unfit and I want to leap away But when I do The red colour comes after me It is fierce and it moves slow The picture on the wall is chaotic I don't want to look at it But when I do I cannot speak because of the confusion in my head I am unfit and I want to leap away But when I do The red colour comes after me It is fierce and it moves slow 07. The Big Sleep Music by Frank Boeijen Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
Deprivation of my sleep
is so bad I need to weep myself into a coma And drift far far away from reality sing me a lullaby "Summertime" I'm dreaming I'm dreaming Temporary failure to close my eyes leads to a final loss of sanity I need to slip into a deep sunken sleep And drift far, far away from reality I'm dreaming I'm dreaming... 08. Marooned Music by René Rutten Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
I know I'm from a lesser tribe
I suppose the range of my intelligence is way too wide And you don't see me 'cause I don't have much to say My emotional outlet is consuming the better part of me And apart from the wrong words a tortured cry is making me see That you don't see me 'cause I don't have much to say hours and hours fo jealousy are passing me by Although hollow silence is the only wave going through your brain And you don't see me 'cause I don't have much to say 09. Travel Music by Frank Boeijen, René Rutten Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
Melodic stanzas
are symphonizing their way through your weary head To feed your distrust And fill its mouth with the desire to soulfully be one with your creation Not a subject to control you call upon a higer power for help and inspiration The crowd waits and turns their faces towards you expectantly you give them what they need But their useless criticism makes you die a bit more inside Not a subject to control you call upon a higer power for help and inspiration Oh, I swoon while loudspeakers play soft music Leaning over your fourtieth masterpiece You must have loved the colour of these violins I wish I knew you Your fit of insanity makes me sad I wish you knew your music was to stay forever And I hope... I have no clue if you know how much it matters And i hope... 10. South American Ghost Ride Music by Frank Boeijen

11. Illuminating Music by Frank Boeijen Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
Illuminating is what we are
When we will be on the stars I will feel great Without my weight that I would feel while on the ground Who would have thought that we could overcome such a thing as protruding the ozone layer To find new species on the stars I will feel great Without my weight pulling me down Would I still feel myself when I hit the ground 12. Locked Away Music & lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
No sense at all
do what you want for I will hunt you Untill you will be Locked away just so what you'll be scred of me Behind my power I will hide all my fears Right now you are punished for absolutely nothing And I feel so good Because once more I don't have to be honest With myself While you're locked away Just so you'll be scared of me behind my power I will hide all my fears 13. Probably Built In The Fifties Music by René Rutten Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
I might be moving to the east
to part my ways And I will try to get something I don't have yet If I do, I will look at it for days and days Untill I will never forget I have heard this mental search has made them all take a look along the border Having the urge For their minds to be lifted to something new I'm running to meet my higher self I trust the speed Untill I have no need to run anymore Miles and miles I run I hear my feet And I hear myself breathe heavily I trust the speed Untill I have no need To run anymore Miles and miles I run 14.
