We fly through the night with the greatest of ease
Our journey has now just begun
Dimensions in time we’ve yet to be shown
We flee with our lives on the line

We’re playing with fire
We’re playing with fate
If you’re not a believer than you’re a disgrace
We search for our sanctuary a place we call home
Till now it’s been the unknown
No vision or clue of who we are... far!

Our journey has ended we’ve taken our claim
Our land is our only true means
We’ll fight to the death without any regrets
Protecting the land that we’ve kept

Don’t come to close
You’d best be aware
The evil that lurks here, it likes to share
Controlling your thoughts and the hatred within
They have opened a world of sin
No vision or clue of who we are...

Far
Far from you
Far from me
Far from all that’s holy
Far
Far from you
Far from me
Far from all that’s holy!
All that’s holy!

No vision or clue of who we are...
Far
Far from you
Far from me
Far from all that’s holy
Far
Far from you
Far from me
Far from all that’s holy
Far
Far from you
Far from me
Far from all that’s holy
Far
Far from you
Far from me
Far from all that’s holy!

I stopped believing when nothing seemed to change
No matter what they say, my questions are the same
Just show me proof of presence – let my thoughts be tamed

What you choose to call hell I call home
What you choose to call hell I call home!

Without the vision to go it on our own
We create illusions for millions to follow
Within the madness we cling to shadows

What you choose to call hell I call home
What you choose to call hell I call home
What you choose to call hell I call home
What you choose to call hell I call home!

Someone pull me back from the thunder
Can you tell me why that I must wander?

Long live the rising, a story to be told
From the horizon I’ll watch it all unfold
If there’s a light I’ll run till I take hold
But until then I’ll stay in the unknown

What you choose to call hell I call home
What you choose to call hell I call home!
What you choose to call hell
What you choose to call hell

Someone pull me back, someone pull me back
Someone pull me back from the thunder
Can you tell me why that I must wander?
Someone pull me back, someone pull me back
Someone pull me back from the thunder
Can you tell me why that I must wander?

Too many questions and all out lies
Big daddy’s thumb covers our eyes
These dark illusions between the lines
They dance with serpents in their minds

Can you hear the deafening hypocrisy?
It’s becoming my worst enemy
Deafening hypocrisy, deafening hypocrisy

Behind the mask hides Mr. Magoo
With a righteous hand he stirs the soup
With a cryptic hand he makes the rules
And we abide them like pure fools

Can you hear the deafening hypocrisy?
It’s becoming my worst enemy
Deafening hypocrisy, deafening hypocrisy

Cover your eyes – one more surprise
Cover your eyes – they’ve crossed the line!

(You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours)

We wait for changes – that time is now!
We seek them out and ask them how

Can you hear the deafening hypocrisy?
It’s becoming my worst enemy
Can you hear the deafening hypocrisy?
It’s becoming my worst enemy, oh... oh... oh...
Deafening hypocrisy, deafening hypocrisy
Deafening hypocrisy, deafening hypocrisy

Through the years of madness
Through the years of shame
There’s only one thing that remains

Our need for survival
Our need for the game
Too much advantage for all the faceless names

On wings of sorrow I survey the loss
I’m coming back now with a wounded heart
But the angels saw me, they heard my cries
They pray for all the nations that have died

We crave redemption
We crave remorse
For the devastation and the end to take its course

May the heavens open
To rebuild the ruins

Between the lies and manipulation, the profits and the gains
The pointing of the finger but no one takes the blame...

May the heavens open may the heavens shed
In the middle of madness, in a world of shame...

May the heavens open may the heavens shed
In the middle of madness, in a world of shame...

Blessed by the fall of another
The rise to the top won’t be long
The plot of a saint going under
The minions will laugh as he crawls
Deemed the leader of a way ward cult
Puppet master with a hand of fault
Broken fingers lead a soul to nowhere

Delirium – he suffers in silence
Delirium – he clings to his life
Delirium – there’s someone behind him
Delirium – but there’s no one in sight

Burned by the fork of the devil
He creeps through this life with a scar
Raping the world under cover
He says he doesn’t mean harm
Evil is as evil does
It’s a friend, your favorite son
Let the chains that bind him come undone

Delirium – he suffers in silence
Delirium – he clings to his life
Delirium – there’s someone behind him
Delirium – but there’s no one in sight

Burned by the fork of the devil
He creeps through this life with a scar
Raping the world under cover
He says he doesn’t mean harm
Evil is as evil does
It’s a friend, your favorite son
Let the chains that bind him come undone

Delirium – he suffers in silence
Delirium – he clings to his life
Delirium – there’s someone behind him
Delirium – but there’s no one in sight

Welcome to the Demon Opera

(Oh... oh... oh... oh...)
Fragments of a life left behind, tragedies of the past
Torturing the inner mind, you linger with the rest
We try and clean the webs we weave
We try and free the casualties
But when the webs are strong and the words are wrong
No one will be released

Paper thin straddling the line
You’re hanging on by a thread
Looking for some peace of mind
To put all your schemes to bed
But one thing is for certain
They are closing the final curtain
Prepare to meet your maker and confess

Laying all your sins to rest

[?] Demon Opera
[?] Demon Opera
You are right [?] requiem

Black magic is the negative light
Spreading fear through its endless flight
Amongst the rays a positive light
But shadowed by the hands of time
This light is not a gift from above
But a gift from the lord of fun
A twist of fate may change your hate forever

Laying all your sins to rest

Fragments of a life left behind, tragedies of the past
Torturing the inner mind these dreams were meant to last

Laying all your sins to rest

(Oh... oh... oh... oh...)

(Oh... oh... oh...)

Years now have passed, I’ll never get them back
Mistakes that I have made come back to haunt me
I’ve let a trail of tears, for that I am regretful
I’m sorry for the fears that I’ve created

Across the sea of souls she awaits me
Across the sea of souls it’s going to take me
No use pretending of this as the ending
The calls so strong, across the sea... the sea of souls...

Pride is not a game – I’ve learned my lesson well
There’s always one to blame, and then, forgiveness
I’ve always been the one to say that I don’t need you
Believe me, in the end I’ve been alone

Across the sea of souls she awaits me
Across the sea of souls it’s going to take me
No use pretending of this as the ending
The calls so strong, across the sea... the sea of souls...

In memory relieve me from these shadows of my
Forgive me, protect them, let them all be put to... rest!

Across the sea of souls she awaits me
Across the sea of souls it’s going to take me
No use pretending of this as the ending
The calls so strong, across the sea... the sea of souls...

Promises are made, many have been broken
I swear, upon this day I’ll keep them all

Here I stand in silence, destination unknown
Waiting for a memory of who I was before
A faceless name a shadowed heart confused and deranged
An enemy to myself but soon this beast will tame

I try to understand
And I’ve tried to make amends
I’m a desperate man

Will this be my rising or will this be my fall
Still caught between the shadows, still in between the walls
On bended ears these words may fall, listen if you will
Pull me from obscurity, free me from this cell

I try to understand
And I’ve tried to make amends
The king of it depends
I’m a desperate man
I’m a desperate man
My eyes opened to see what was in front of me
I’m a desperate man

I’m a friend of madness, I’m at peace with death
It’s the internal quest that haunts my every step
And as the dark embraces I’ll take a breath
Remember who I am, I’m not a desperate man, desperate man...
Desperate man...

Oh!

I try to understand
And I’ve tried to make amends
Desperate man

My eyes opened to see the path chosen for me
It’s my affliction, a common tragedy
But in the end I’ll see what was in front of me
There was no reason to be a desperate man...
Desperate man...

I’m a desperate man
My eyes opened to see what was in front of me
I’m a desperate man

The king is dead but don’t wipe your eyes
The dagger is dull to the touch
The jester he smiles as he’s waving goodbye
And now the new world will survive, oh...

The court yard is full with the change of the guard
Old systems have now been erased
Promising change and a new lease on life
This new blood is rich to the taste, oh...

Why are we searching were not in control?
Why does everyone go?

Into ivory towers
Congregate with the Divine
Into ivory towers
When your life is on the line

Where is the truth the beginning of time
We’re looking for some kind of proof
Unlocking the past to our history’s past
Maybe the end of the loop, oh...

No rest for the wicked, no rest for the good
The struggle will always be there
The search for the key to the answers of life
That were never meant to be shared

Why are we searching were not in control?
Why does everyone go?

Into ivory towers
Congregate with the Divine
Into ivory towers
When your life is on the line

Into ivory towers
Congregate with the Divine
Into ivory towers
Congregate with the Divine
Into ivory towers
When your life is on the line
Into ivory towers
Congregate with the Divine

Oh!

There’s no way out, it’s all about to fall apart
It’s time you found out what you are
You lived a lie and let it pacify your heart
Now for a genius not too smart

Your power stripped away, your weakness is revealed
Lies so intertwined, you can’t remember what is real
Everyone you commandeered you no longer command
Now all that you fear I hold in the palm of my hand

Evil genius
Make a vow to repent but it won’t change your life’s intent
Can’t deceive us
We know you all too well and you’ve been left to rot in hell

You were in above your head, your bluff is all you played
You took the lead ‘cause you need power to persuade
Then what was to come came to us as no surprise
You lost it all, your lives passed before your eyes

Your power stripped away, your weakness is revealed
Lies so intertwined, you can’t remember what is real
Everyone you commandeered you no longer command
Now all that you fear I hold in the palm of my hand

Evil genius
Make a vow to repent but it won’t change your life’s intent
Can’t deceive us
We know you all too well and you’ve been left to rot in hell

Oh!
Evil genius
Can’t deceive us
Evil genius
Can’t deceive us!

Alright! Yeah... oh!

Seemed like a girl that I could bring home to mother
But in the end she was quite another

She’s hot and ready
I wanna feel the wind in my hair
She’s on top and she’s riding
Riding me like she just didn’t care

Ride me into submission
Ride me – show me no mercy
Ride me – turn the ignition
Ride me into the ground

She tears me up until my legs are aching
We’ll ride all night until the earth is shaking

She’s hot and ready
I wanna feel the wind in my hair
She’s on top and she’s riding
Riding me like she just didn’t care

Ride me into submission
Ride me – show me no mercy
Ride me – turn the ignition
Ride me into the ground

She’s hot and ready
I wanna feel the wind in my hair
She’s on top and she’s riding
Riding me like she just didn’t care

Ride me into submission
Ride me – show me no mercy
Ride me – turn the ignition
Ride me into the ground
Ride me into submission
Ride me – show me no mercy
Ride me – turn the ignition
Ride me into the ground

Just ride me!
Come on and ride me baby, oh yeah
Oh yeah
Come on and ride me baby, oh yeah...

I'm a wheel, I'm a wheel
I can roll, I can feel
And you can't stop me turning

Cause I'm the sun, I'm the sun
I can move, I can run
But you'll never stop me burning

Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and make me holy again

I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

I'm the day, I'm the day
I can show you the way
And look, I'm right beside you

I'm the night, I'm the night
I'm the dark and the light
With eyes that see inside you

Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and make me holy again

I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Come down with fire
And lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and make me holy again

Well, I can help you, you know I can

I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Just look at me and listen
I'm the man, the man, give you my hand
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Come down with fire
And lift your spirit higher
I'm the man on the mountain
The man on the silver mountain
I'm the night, the light
The black and the white
The man on the silver mountain
