Quaestio nostra est aeterna
Ultima requies fons vitae Sed nos eam novam existimemus 02. The Obsessive Devotion Music by Mark Jansen Lyrics by Mark Jansen, Ad Sluijter
Don't you ever blind me
Don't be a foolish thief -Am I? Don't you ever bring yourself to grief Don't you ever blind me Don't ever trick my mind -Did I? Don't you think that you can lie to me -Did I lie? Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis Et mendacem memorem esse oportet If he is your moon, I will be your earth To which you can return, safely or injured. I feel only misery for myself when I Look through the eyes of someone else Don't you choke and bind me Don't be a bleeding heart -Am I? Fold then walk away or play your cards -Let us play! Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis Et mendacem memorem esse oportet If he is your moon, I will be your earth To which you can return, safely or injured. I feel only misery for myself when I Look through the eyes of someone else I can't even recognize the path which has to be Taken to enter infinity. -Don't you dare me I dare you -You don't care about me I care about you -Don't you touch me -Liar Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis Et mendacem memorem esse oportet Adoratio permanebit Quotiens me eges, adero I prefer to be unhappy with you, rather than being depressed without you. I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to Nothing lasts forever but you, you do? I prefer to be a lair just like you To fulfill my deepest desires I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to But all that I desire is you One thoughtless moment passes in slow motion As I lie down, I realise that? All I wish is to get rid of this Obsessive Devotion Venia ad vitam aeternam Non mibi, non tibi, sed nobis Hit me as you can Beat me as you wish Liar Fortuna mutual coniuncti Per tota saecula futura I have raised myself for you But now I regret Venia ad vitam aeternam This is the end 03. Menace Of Vanity Music & lyrics by Mark Jansen
Comprehensive expressions of your social weakness
Vented on your countless made up enemies I cannot know how you feel When you don't say anything We don't care what you say We'll never join the games you play We won't bleed for all your sins We never followed your way now so We don't care anymore How you'll perform your last encore Your misplaced sense of superiority The result of your unbearable form of Vanity I cannot know what you see When you don't show anything; We don't care what you say We'll never join the games you play We won't bleed for all your sins We never followed your way now so We don't care anymore How you'll perform your last encore I cannot know how you feel When you don't say anything I cannot know what you see When you don't show anything We don't care what you say We'll never join the games you play We won't bleed for all your sins We never followed your way now so We don't care anymore How you'll perform your last encore 04. Chasing The Dragon Music by Mark Jansen, Yves Huts, Ad Sluijter, Simone Simons Lyrics by Simone Simons, Mark Jansen
Free my mind
Heal my scars Erase the past Dark days to forget And memories to last In my heart Free me now Make me forget And forgive There's no use To go on and live Show me a way To the sun Heal my scars Nothing will be forever gone Memories will stay and find their way What goes around will come around Don't deny your fears So let them go and fade into light Give up the fight here Let my eyes take in The beauty that's here That's left on this earth My ears long to hear A melody Give me sight Nothing will be forever gone Memories will stay and find their way What goes around will come around Don't deny your fears So let them go and fade into light Give up the fight here Poison is slowly seeping through my veins Stealing the only dignity in me I pick them up and let them fall To cause your pain and hit them all One more life to live is what I want I'll take the joy away from them See to it, they will all be damned One more chance to heal what I have harmed The dragon is wreak havoc in my brain Plays my emotion, a never ending game Nothing will be forever gone Memories will stay and find their way What goes around will come around Don't deny your fears So let them go and fade into light Give up the fight here One more life to live for me I want the night just to colour the day The morning to chase all my nightmares away Don't you deny that we're all human beings We all have our flaws that can make us obscene Obscene? Give me what I want Give me what I need right now That's what I want That's what I need, get it! Dolendo novit mortalis vitam Tell me what I want Tell me what I need right now That's what I want That's all I need, cure me Dolendo discit mori mortalis Losers Nothing will be forever gone Memories will stay and find their way What goes around will come around Don't deny your fears So let them go and fade into light Give up the fight here 05. Never Enough Music by Yves Huts Lyrics by Simone Simons, Ad Sluijter
Can't you hear me screaming, once again?
Voices you can't hear Because you are consumed and incontent With everlasting greed Don't you see me on my hands and knees? Begging and bleeding You're smiling as you bite the hand that feeds But will you never see? Always wanting what your eyes can't see Needing what your arms can't reach Thinking you are in need Always hearing what your ears can't hear Feeling what your hands can't touch Thinking you're incomplete (Enough) It was, Never enough that I gave to you All of the horror that you've put me through (Never enough) How can I make up my mind this time? This is where I will draw the line Sacrificed my life to be with you Why did you leave me? There's nothing more from me you can consume Cause you are incomplete Always wanting what your eyes can't see Needing what your arms can't reach Thinking you are in need Always hearing what your ears can't hear Feeling what your hands can't touch Thinking you're incomplete (Enough) It was, Never enough that I gave to you All of the horror that you've put me through (Never enough) How can I make up my mind this time? This is where I will draw the line Everlasting need Would you please? Answer me and Make me complete Everlasting greed Would you please? Set me free Fulfill all my needs and make me complete (Enough) It was, Never enough that I gave to you All of the horror that you've put me through (Never enough) How can I make up my mind this time? This is where I will draw the line Never again will I be with you No promise eternal carrying us through I finally made up my mind this time This is the end, I've drawn the line Never enough to devour your greed 06.

07. Death Of A Dream (The Embrace That Smothers - Part VII) Music by Mark Jansen, Yves Huts, Ad Sluijter Lyrics by Simone Simons, Ad Sluijter
I followed your rules
A willing fool Branded by shame My soul suffers from your hostile ways I bear so many scars, hit me hard Time to change we have to rearrange For this has gone too far, way too far Creating new laws and living by unwritten rules Restricting us My soul suffers from your hostile ways I can't let go Creating new spins on ancient creed to fit your views Denying us You created this world Where honesty is not allowed You created this world Where ignorance is being taught You created this world Where I am all, you'll never be You've been drilling these Such falsely-based philosophies ?in me The curtain has fallen There's no one behind Corrected one mistake But I am still around Our fight is over My scars will leave a stain You thought that it was all easy But I will still remain You created yourself Based on nothing else but lies You created yourself Where all your aspiration died You created yourself Where I am all, you'll never be You're deceiving me Now I am forcing you to see ? this The curtain has fallen There's no one behind Corrected one mistake But I am still around Our fight is over My scars will leave a stain You thought that it was all easy But I will still remain Take my hand, I'm sinking, I'm reaching out for you Can't you see what you've done to all of us? Torturing me has no use here anymore I followed your rules A willing fool Branded by shame My soul suffers from your hostile ways I bear so many scars, hit me hard Time to change we have to rearrange For this has gone too far, way too far Creating new laws and living by unwritten rules Restricting us My soul suffers from your hostile ways I can't let go Creating new spins on ancient creed to fit your views Denying us The curtain has fallen There's no one behind Corrected one mistake But I am still around Our fight is over My scars will leave a stain You thought that it was all easy But I will still remain Your time is over I'm taking what's mine You thought that you could keep me Under your thumb and mind Take my hand, I'm sinking, I'm reaching out for you In my dying dream 08. Living A Lie (The Embrace That Smothers - Part VIII) Music by Mark Jansen, Yves Huts, Ad Sluijter Lyrics by Simone Simons, Mark Jansen
Don't believe what you see
Believe in me In my reality I am a man of God God, can't you hear that I'm begging you? Don't believe what you hear Believe in me And I will reappear Salvation here at last At last someone to answer all my prayers Hope is a desert running dry Deep inside You refuse to face the facts But pray for life Find salvation in distress We will wait For the day you'll break out and Re-awake Lies Don't believe what you see Believe in me And my reality Eternity indeed Indeed it's the end all and be all there's Hope is a desert running dry Deep inside You refuse to face the facts But pray for life Find salvation in distress We will wait For the day you'll break out and Re-awake Lies Domine lesu, demitte nobis debita nostra, salva nos ab igne inferiori, perduc in caelum omnes animas praesertim eas, quae misericordiae tuae maxime indigent. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen Living a lie Human power Will devour Our senses Bring us to forget Human sources will not save The power of faith Heals us all Hope is a desert running dry Deep inside You refuse to face the facts But pray for life Find salvation in distress We will wait For the day you'll break out and Re-awake And we wait for the day To discover there's no way I can't wait at this rate It's too little and too late To live this lie Living a lie 09. Fools Of Damnation (The Embrace That Smothers - Part IX) Music by Mark Jansen, Ad Sluijter, Simone Simons Lyrics by Mark Jansen

Beyond Belief Music by Mark Jansen, Ad Sluijter, Simone Simons Lyrics by Mark Jansen
Wisdom, knowledge, science
Develops, always, better, faster This is the final end A voice in the wilderness Fights a futile war Because the strong are deaf More so then before Massive disregard Shows what to expect Scars on top of scars Racing toward a future we don't have Fear is taking over me, there is nothing I can see The Future is as certain As life will come to an end When time feels like a burden We struggle with our certain death Wisdom, knowledge, science Develops, always, better, faster We have to guide ourselves For we cannot stand One more false pretense getting out of hand Now fear is the driving force Taking over us And finding out this source May turn out to be too much to bear Fear is taking over me, there is nothing I can see How could this have come to be The Future is as certain As life will come to an end When time feels like a burden We struggle with our certain death Wisdom, knowledge, science Develops, always, better, faster Defeats us Science, knowledge, wisdom Destroys us, always, ever, faster This is the final end Thirteen moons The path to walk Thirteen moons The path to talk Restore all that belongs to us Thirteen moons The way to speak Thirteen moons Is what we seek Restore all that was left behind The Future is as certain As life will come to an end When time feels like a burden We struggle with our certain death [solo] The Future is as certain As life will come to an end When time feels like a burden We struggle with our certain death Wisdom, knowledge, science Develops, always, better, faster Defeats us Science, knowledge, wisdom Destroys us, always, ever, faster This is the final end 11. Safeguard To Paradise Music by Yves Huts, Mark Jansen, Coen Janssen Lyrics by Mark Jansen
Memories that fade away
Have not left their mark But you live on, every single day In many different ways It's the truth between his cunning lies That hands him his suspicious alibis Persuading with your force will never be the way To our destiny Suddenly we've lost the force To close our cursed doors No one seems to realise That wolves are in disguise It's the truth between his cunning lies That hands him his suspicious alibis Persuading with your force will never be the way To our destiny Your engine was so strong But the road was just too long Hope is not the end So never lose the faith As long as we can say They can never take away Our freedom, the most precious thing we've ever had The reward from the blood, we've ever shed His quest for higher truth, life of eternal youth has just begun, in spite of being on the run Many virgins wait for him to come Persuading with your force will never be the way To our destiny Our destiny 12. Sancta Terra Music by Mark Jansen, Ad Sluijter, Simone Simons Lyrics by Simone Simons
A place which I have searched a thousand times
To finally free myself Forever wasn't ever long enough I will refrain I feel a passion washing over me To shed the skin I'm in This evolution will empower me Now truth begins And you will not find me I am safe in here I'm where I want to be It's a place where a wish will be granted Come, you'll see I'm right It's a force that will live on within you Dark as day is light It's a place where your dreams will be slanted And will always be It's a force that was sent out to win you Just you wait and see Take one step closer to the borderline Where night and day unite This mortal coil I've gone and left behind On holy soil And you will not find me I am safe in here I'm where I want to be It's a place where a wish will be granted Come, you'll see I'm right It's a force that will live on within you Dark as day is light It's a place where your dreams will be slanted And will always be It's a force that was sent out to win you Just you wait and see You will not find me I am safe in here I am where I want to be So leave me now in peace And you will not find me I am safe in here I'm where I want to be It's a place where a wish will be granted Come, you'll see I'm right It's a force that will live on within you Dark as day is light It's a place where your dreams will be slanted And will always be It's a force that was sent out to win you Just you wait and see 13. The Divine Conspiracy Music by Mark Jansen, Ad Sluijter, Coen Janssen Lyrics by Mark Jansen
Quaestio nostra est aeterna
Ultima requies fons vitae Sed eam ut novam ducemus We will never know all possibilities to predict what is to come And so we have illusions to think freely Once we had been Rich from within Did not try to reach What we couldn't achieve Because once we had been Able to win From the need to succeed We need to be innocent to live the life we've lived for so long We need to be blind enough to live the life we live right now Who possesses your time also possesses your mind Once we had been Rich from within Did not try to reach What we couldn't achieve Because once we had been Able to win From the need to succeed We need to be innocent to live the life we've lived for so long We need to be deaf enough to live the life we live right now Reach out, touch infinity Life is just a memory Time is not the entity Like it used to be The Divine Conspiracy Opens up the reality Time is not the entity Like it claims to be Once we had been Rich from within Did not try to reach What we couldn't achieve Because once we had been Able to win From the need to succeed We need to be innocent to live the life we've lived for so long We need to be insensitive to live the life and so ignore it all Who possesses your time also possesses your mind Who possesses your time -Mislead us all, we are not in control Also possesses your mind -There is no trace that will lead to this place Reach out, touch infinity Life is just a memory Time is not the entity Like it used to be The Divine Conspiracy Opens up the reality Time is not the entity Like it claims to be Desperately we all Clutch at the last straw We stumble and fall Countdown to die To heal it all We will never reach Our capacities, no more We cannot expand Our boundaries Once we had been Rich from within Did not try to reach What we couldn't achieve Because once we had been Able to win From the need to succeed We need to be innocent to live the life we've lived for so long We need to be insensitive to breathe so we can take it all for granted Reach out, touch infinity Life is just a memory Time is not the entity Like it used to be The Divine Conspiracy Opens up the reality Time is not the entity Like it claims to be 14. Higher High
Fireflies are flying higher
They draw their wings up in the sky Something I cannot read now For my vision is blurred We are all ruled by our fears below Higher high We are stuck and can't get out again There's more than we deny And there's more than meets the eye Fortune, fairytales; we've all been told Our pattern, never built, never begins (?) I can tell you there can't always be A happy end to every tale We are all ruled by our fears below Higher high We are stuck and can't get out again There's more than we deny And there's more than meets the eye We are all breathing the same air That we share We all just have to live We are all equal No matter black or white We are all ruled by our fears below Higher high We are stuck and can't get out again There's more than we deny And there's more than meets the eye 15.
