01. Prelude (Alchimia Confessio 1458 A.D.)

Music by Tony Hernando
[Instrumental]

02. Maker Of Nothingness

Music & lyrics by Tony Hernando
Say you don't care but that's
What is eating you alive
Another clown looking to burn
Like a moth to a flame
When you crawling alone and
You step one more foot
Closer to the grave

Controlling by...
Amusing myself to death
Satisfy... inflicting some kind of pain
There you have it... it's the last bit of who I am
Making us fools... believe we are free

Waking up dead
In a field of deceit
Truth is being drowned
You're the maker of nothingness

Those who believed
Those times won't bе back
When reason is killed
And lifе is denied

Days with no dawn are coming our way
Unveil the lies spoken a thousand times
Don't you see?
If there was a time, it has to be now

Controlling by...
Amusing myself to death
Satisfy... inflicting some kind of pain
There you have it, it's the last bit of who I am
Making us fools... believe we are free

Waking up dead
In a field of deceit
Truth is being drowned
You're the maker of nothingness
Those who believed
Those times won't be back
When reason is killed
And life is denied

Waking up dead
In a field of deceit
Truth is being drowned
You're the maker of nothingness

03. What's Become Of Us

Music & lyrics by Tony Hernando
I always wonder...
Why you feel so proud inside
When those were days of crime and wasted lives
And you keep comin'... try to justify the very wrong
that comes to tear you apart

Does anybody ever dream?
Does anybody ever win?
What's become of us?

Does anybody still believe?
The only good that's left of me
Shines in you

Whenever you claim you are the ruler of this land
You're painting a lie that you call "destiny"
And now when you testify before your time is gone
I finally know where the sinners go

04. Bound To You

Music & lyrics by Tony Hernando
Time doesn't heal
Let me undo the wrong, let me be the one
I'm so tired of the same mistakes
Been here, done that... over 'n over

Life is telling me now
That the weak are meat for the strong to eat
Consequences of words and deeds
Everywhere... everyday

Shadows of home... ghosts of my past
Time will be on my side

Destiny calls... whenever I am gone
Tides take me back to you
Yesterday is gone, but all that matters still belong
I'm always bound to You

Did you ever think jealousy
Was against you... (you're) not the only one
Tell me I need to believe
End this war... for the World to see

Sail on the unknown
Greater good... always worth the pain
Come to me and we'll make our love
Great again... yet again

Meet me again...in the midst of a dream
Time's always on your side

05. Before That Time Can Come

Music & lyrics by Tony Hernando
Tell me what I need to hear
So I can still feel that thing
That I once knew as trust
Can't believe I've spent this long without words
And I'm walking so alone
Like the first time on my own

Is it a way for me?
So I got to see
A paint that ain't black and white
The place that I see in my dreams

You bring me down
So no one can reach the truth
Bury me down, bury me low
Deep where the love is lost

Will we ever see the time
When we'll be coming home
Maybe it will need my blood
Maybe it will need my bones...in the ground
Before that time can come

Feels like is a heavy load
Like a thousand years of darkness
And the grief never stops
Tell me what I should not believe...
'Cause is wrong
Saying that we belong to a love
We'll never know

06. Mind Killer

Music & lyrics by Tony Hernando
It's like an unspoken depression
An endless source of distress
I just became so addicted
To the power of sickness

Been living inside for so long... and you keep
Talking inside my head
Until I just don't know anymore
What's real and what's not

Break... what was given
Waste... what is left
Fear... is the Mind... Killer

Shame on you
Blame over you
Fear... is the Mind... Killer

I put my life always after you
I never knew any better
But now it's clear as the daylight
This is the last turn of the screw

You come again with your head games
And try to make up my mind again
I just don't want to play no more
'Cause now I'm ready to let you go

07. Death Dealer

Music & lyrics by Tony Hernando
Who's it that broke your fall
Put out the flames and saved your life
The fairest of them all
The one that leaves no one behind
Right...
Another victim of grandiosity... it burns so fierce
You can't resist.. seductive under disguise
Ambitions are taking over

Soul shiver
It's a pain trigger
Slits open wide... as the deeper we crack
Fake healer
He's a death dealer
Longing no more... at the end of our rope

Rеvere my fantasies
Thеy're growing high inside of you
The more you come along
The more I rot you to the core
Well...
You better realize you might think twice...
So you can see what really means
When I am shedding my skin
You have now guessed it right

Soul shiver
It's a pain trigger
Slits open wide... as the deeper we crack
Fake healer
He's a death dealer
Longing no more... at the end of our rope

Let's wore a mask of sanity
While we're empty on the inside

Revere my fantasies
You're another victim of grandiosity
It burns so fierce, you can't resist
Seductive under disguise
Ambitions are taking over

Soul shiver
It's a pain trigger
Slits open wide... as the deeper we crack
Fake healer
He's a death dealer
Longing no more... at the end of our rope

08. Prayers Turned To Whispers

Music & lyrics by Tony Hernando
We try to hide the words and walk away
But sure we both know what we know
Still I have no answers for my peace
It's crazy how it feels like it was today

Disguise your feelings with another name
A mind that wants to live confined
You know what's needed to bring us back home
I can't hold on much more this time

When all my prayers turned to whispers
And all we once had was forever lost
But when I listen to the silence
Is that you I can hear forevermore

I broke the rules you only made for me
You never gave me a second chance
You really want to lose another day?
This is the time we can begin again

When all my prayers turned to whispers
And all we once had was forever lost
But when I listen to the silence
Is that you I can hear forevermore

I know you were just pretending
You never did know how
To say what's on your heart
I will never be the one
To run away of blame
Until it's all forgiven

When all my prayers turned to whispers
And all we once had was forever lost
But when I listen to the silence
Is that you I can hear forevermore
When all my prayers turned to whispers
And all we once had was forever lost
But when I listen to the silence
Is that you I can hear forevermore

09. In A Different Light

Music & lyrics by Tony Hernando
Keep on...
Always proud of the wrong answers to give
Fake it...
You're a slave of a will that's so in vain

Say it rules...
But you know it feels sick
Sickness of the mind
Residing... in a blissful ignorance

Blinded by what the world wants you
Wants you to be
Find an excuse... to avoid
To escape... what is real

What I should feel
No longer is... what was meant to be
A different dark can't keep my eyes
Painting a different light

Blinded by what the world wants you
Wants you to be
Find an excuse... to avoid
To escape... when you can't take no more

What I should feel no longer is
What was meant to be
A different dark can't fade away
This brand new light
What I should feel no longer is
What was meant to be
A different dark can't keep my eyes
Painting a different light

10. How Long Do I Have Now

Music & lyrics by Tony Hernando
I want to know who we really are
When everything goes wrong
Don't come to tell me you care for this world
I know what you're about

I've come to think I am the only one
Who would do anything for you
Deep down we all know we are on our own
When the last hope is gone

Is this the way you play the innocent
Regrets we made into this very day

Chasing time is... one last goodbye
We'll never know
Close my eyes then... to live and diе no more
How long do I have... now?

I'll nevеr join what's a blatant lie
I bet you call me a disgrace
You're always wrong when you say we're done
We still a long way to fall

I don't think I will never turn my eyes
From the blood that's been run
If we are born to become this mad
We're sons of nevermore

Is this the only way we'll ever love?
Embrace the last decision of your will

Chasing time is one last goodbye
We'll never know
Close my eyes then to live and die no more
How long do I have now?

Chasing time is... one last goodbye
We'll never know
Close my eyes then... to live and die no more
How long, how long
How long do I have... now?

11. Fated To Be Destroyed

Music & lyrics by Tony Hernando
Make sure you fit the new normality
Make sure you praise stupidity
Virtue discarded for evil ways
How quick we fail for the sins of the flesh

Why to be cared... nothing's wrong
Why do you dare
When all hell's breaking loose?

Long way to fall, broken and shattered
Left all alone... it came to be
Soul of the world... is this really how is
Meant to be killed

Far we have gone... it's hard to believe it
Hopes of the fools... will be let go
Kingdom of light
Fated to be... destroyed

Struggle of innocence
In a corrupted world
Devotion a blind commitment
With no prize in sight

Why to be scared... nothing's true
Why do you care
If someone hits the floor?

Long way to fall, broken and shattered
Left all alone... it came to be
Soul of the world, is this really how is
Meant to be killed
Far we have gone... it's hard to believe it
Hopes of the fools... will be let go
Kingdom of light
Fated to be... destroyed

We still remain even after the rain
Someway I'll find a way to conceal all this pain
Let it go, let me go... deep in the dark
Nothing hurts a heart more...
Than a love that was in vain

Why to be cared... nothing's wrong
Why do you dare
When all hell's breaking loose?

Long way to fall, broken and shattered
Left all alone, it came to be
Soul of the world, is this really how is
Meant to be killed
Far we have gone... it's hard to believe it
Hopes of the fools... will be let go
Kingdom of light
Fated to be... destroyed

12. No Hero Is Homeless

Music & lyrics by Tony Hernando
Been long time deceived by fake messiahs
Fear to live will feed the darkest nights
Rot their minds, that's all you want to do
Makes me sick, I hate the sight of you

Every single lie will fall over time
'Cause I have nothing you can buy
Brave are the ones who cry
Fools those who live by lies
Breaking before my eyes

When silence is broken
Cries that won't be forgotten
No hero is homеless
Heaven awaits thе fallen

Which way to go so I never walk alone
Dance of death, we're just right at the end
Fool no more, I know what lies ahead
Need strength to crush the serpent's head

Every road is unknown
When lights are burning low
Seems to me there is no end
Can I try one more time?
Is it will be the same?
Hold on before I die

When silence is broken
Cries that won't be forgotten
No hero is homeless
Heaven awaits the fallen

When silence is broken
Cries that won't be forgotten
No hero is homeless
Heaven awaits the fallen
When silence is broken
Cries that won't be forgotten
No hero is homeless
Heaven awaits the fallen

13. Sympathy

Music & lyrics by Ken Hensley
Sympathy just doesn't mean that much to me
Compassion not the fashion in my mind
And if you're looking for a shoulder to cry on
Don't turn your head my way
'Cause I'd rather have my music any day

You and I are masters of our destiny
We look for consolation all the time
Until we find out things are not what they were meant to be, oh no
And if it doesn't suit our mood we'll call it crime

Dedication's not an obligation
Or a figment of someone's imagination
It's the only way they say
To live from day to day
To make each passing way a small sensation

Dreams are the possession of the simple man
Rеality the fantasy of youth
Living is a problem that is common to us all
With love thе only common road to truth

Dedication's not an obligation
Or a figment of someone's imagination
It's the only way they say
To live from day to day
To make each passing way a small sensation, oh, yeah
Dedication's not an obligation
Or a figment of someone's imagination
It's the only way they say
To live from day to day
To make each passing way a small sensation
