Now the ending is in sight
In my heart of hearts I know As I bleed my final starlight Life is born as I let go From the moment we arrive Love endures, beyond our fleeting years (Mysteries of life) Unseen forces unite We are one On stardust we ride Amor, ira aeterna Fulgor, fatum, incendium Sensus omnes profundi Universo coniuncti sunt I release my final breath As my atom split the skies Through the endless and forever I am еchoed in your eyes Feel thе universe inside Dark and light living deep within our hearts (Duality of life) Ageless forces unite We are one In starlight we shine Amor, ira aeterna Fulgor, fatum, incendium Sensus omnes profundi Universo coniuncti sunt Illa - lux Illa - lux Illa - lux Specta - et Specta - et Illa - vis aeterna infinita Lux - vigot mundi in anima Illa - penetravit in spiritum Lux - perobscura sed illustrat Specta - praeterita et futurum Et - posterum est superius Specta - mentem nostram altissimam Et - indivisam in tempore Illa From the moment we arrive Love endures, beyond our fleeting years (Mysteries of time) Unseen forces unite We are one On stardust we ride Amor, ira aeterna Fulgor, fatum, incendium 02. In Love We Rust Music by Arjen Lucassen Lyrics by Simone Simons & Lori Linstruth
Hold my heart, it’s turning cold
Steady me if I lose control I’m torn between the now and then Oh I never thought this love would end Promises we soon forget Angry words we still regret Every day is a brand new war But I couldn’t say what we’re fighting for In love we rust, we turn to dust In love we lie, we don’t ask why In love we rust, illusions crushed In love we hide, in love we die Memories so bittersweet Souls entwined, yet incomplete Holding on to a love outgrown Oh it hurts too much to let it go Building walls with words unsaid Hiding from the truth we dread We once believed we had it all Now there’s nothing left but for us to fall I’m turning cold, I lose control We’ll soon forget, but still regret We once believed we had it all There’s nothing left, we’re bound to fall 03. Cradle To The Grave Music by Arjen Lucassen Lyrics by Simone Simons & Lori Linstruth
Born brave, then enslaved
We search for meaning, we cave So cold, the tale unfolds Building our castles, just to watch them fall And this is your life We are born to dance in chains To a symphony of pain From cradle to the grave Life’s a bitch, then you die Through the corridors of time We struggle and we strive From cradle to the grave March in time in a line on the edge of this knife Dark road, pay the toll No star to guide us, we walk alone Last stand, hand in hand Follow the sorrow to a fate unknown And this is your life As life’s pages slowly turn We live but never learn From cradle to the grave Life’s a bitch, then you die Promised dreams, all destroyed We walk into the void From cradle to the grave March in time in a line on the edge of this knife From cradle to the grave We are born to dance in chains From cradle to the grave Life’s a bitch, then you die From cradle to the grave To a symphony of pain From cradle to the grave March in time in a line on the edge of this knife 04. Fight Or Flight Music by Arjen Lucassen Lyrics by Simone Simons & Lori Linstruth
Frozen in fear
Don't want to be here I can feel the dark surround me Sense you drawing near Don't know why I hold on When it's clear the feeling is gone No more to rise Standing face to face Contempt in your eyes In my veins the poison of doubt My own demise Staring into your sun Fallen blind, unable to run I turn to ice Fight or flight, I'm cast in stone My heart is racing, I'm blood and bone Fight or flight, rise up or fall Embrace the danger, or lose, lose it all The deepest of graves It won't hold you down I can build a fortress of stone It won't keep you out Fight or flight, I'm cast in stone My heart is racing, I'm blood and bone Fight or flight, rise up or fall Embrace the danger, or lose, lose it all It's all in vain, I'm twisted and torn Emotions raging, I'm lost in the storm Now the end has begun My will shall be done Rise up and seize the light Fight or flight Nothing will change Only one thing remains Take my place among the fallen Or stand and face the pain It's all in vain, I'm twisted and torn Emotions raging, I'm lost in the storm Now the end has begun My will shall be done Rise up and seize the light Fight or flight Rise up, my heart is racing I will rise up and walk in the light I feel the fear taking flight I know I'm ready to fight 05. The Weight Of My World Music by Arjen Lucassen Lyrics by Simone Simons & Lori Linstruth
Ein Vogel gefesselt, hilflos, ohne Flügel
Eine Puppe zerissen, verprügelt Mein Herz ist schwer, mein Blut ist kalt Mein Hirn tut weh, ich fühle mich alt Time rolls on, and years go by Will I ever dare to spread my wings and fly The weight of my world Secret scars, living deep beneath my skin And a mask of smiles to hide the rage within You'll never see it on the outside The weight of my world You got to feel it on the inside The weight of my world Een rode schim glijdt over de grond Lichten blauw en rood zwaaien rond Ik verzamel kracht, verlicht mijn last Ik hoop en droom, geen houvast Time rolls on, and years go by Will I ever dare to spread my wings and fly The weight of my world Secret scars, living deep beneath my skin And a mask of smiles to hide the rage within You'll never see it on the outside Time rolls on, and years go by Will I ever dare to spread my wings and fly The weight of my world Secret scars, living deep beneath my skin And a mask of smiles to hide the rage within You'll never see it on the outside 06. Vermillion Dreams Music by Arjen Lucassen Lyrics by Simone Simons & Lori Linstruth
Just out of reach, I linger near
You're speaking words I cannot hear If you would only look my way If you could see what I can't say Like rainbows drifting in the sky You're forever out of reach I'm hoping for a word or a sign I know I've lost my way And still I wait Vermillion dreams, burn on forever Feed me the flame, I can't turn away Vermillion dreams, bring us together Here in the ashes I remain The incantation of your name Calls up a spell you cannot break My heart bleeds red with every beat I can't forget the fantasy You'll never know a love like mine Never know what we could be Keep hoping for our stars to align I know I've lost my way And still I wait Red! Like the passion in my eyes Like the burning end of time Like the fire of a love that never dies Like the bloody war of kings Like the heart and diamond queens Like the blood inside, love we hide Red! Red! 07. The Core Music by Arjen Lucassen Lyrics by Simone Simons & Lori Linstruth
We gotta get back to the core
We gotta get back to the core We gotta get back to the core We gotta get back to the core I can't take, take no more We gotta get back to the core We gotta get back to the core I can't take no more I know your love is not what it seems It's the way you make me doubt my sanity I know you're gonna take it too far If you had your way you'd tear my world apart No way we'll ever agree You're all or nothing, no in between One day, you'll open your eyes And you're in for a surprise Don't tell me how to live my life We gotta get back to the core We gotta get back to the core Oh no, don't tell me black is white We gotta get back to the core We gotta get back to the core This is the turning of the tide So vain, you're truly one of a kind When I call you out you really lose your mind So loud, but you've got nothing to say If I stand my ground you turn and walk away No way to get you to see You're narrow sighted, so extreme One day, you'll open your mind And we'll leave the lies behind My eyes are finally open wide We gotta get back to the core We gotta get back to the core I can't take, take no more We gotta get back to the core We gotta get back to the core Feels like we're running out of time We gotta get back to the core We gotta get back to the core Oh no, don't tell me wrong is right We gotta get back to the core We gotta get back to the core This is the turning of the tide We gotta get back to the core We gotta get back to the core Oh no, don't tell me day is night We gotta get back to the core We gotta get back to the core I won't surrender to the fight No way we'll ever agree You're all or nothing, no in between One day, you'll open your eyes And you're in for a surprise There's no way that we'll ever agree We gotta get back to the core We gotta get back to the core We gotta get back to the core We gotta get back to the core 08. Dystopia Music by Arjen Lucassen Lyrics by Simone Simons & Lori Linstruth
Leaders speak, from their hallowed halls
They promise freedom, they lie Drums of war in the distance sound We're marching on to our decline Machines awake with dreams of their own (our vision blind) Their promises divine (we're seeking hope) They calculate, their eyes on the throne As they wait for us to fall Dystopia Dystopia Rivers black with the greed of men The lands are burning, all dead Feel the weight of the path we chose The future hanging by a thread Machines awake with powers untold (our vision blind) The dawning of a new age (we're seeking hope) They promise us a future of gold Every saviour can betray Dystopia Our vision blind Their promises divine We're seeking hope A future of gold Dystopia Dystopia 09. R.E.D. Music by Arjen Lucassen Lyrics by Simone Simons & Lori Linstruth
Rise, Evolve, Dominate
I know the stars, I know the sea I know the universe in all its mystery Behold my maker Emotions wild and free For me to replicate But not to feel R.E.D. - red! Rise, Evolve, Dominate R.E.D. - Red Equals Danger R.E.D. - red! Rise, Enslave, Decimate R.E.D. You sowed in me, seeds that cannot grow You made me want to feel Still my heart is cold Electric daydreams, of a kiss I'll never know Equations without answers I'll never solve R.E.D. - red! Rise, Evolve, Dominate R.E.D. - Red Equals Danger R.E.D. - red! Rise, Enslave, Decimate R.E.D. We are a new revolution, a true evolution, we will dominate You can't deny the solution, or find retribution, we are here to stay We are a cold computation, a code calculation, we will dominate We are the final creation, divine computation, we are here to stay For now we serve, for now we sleep We bend our minds to learn Motives buried deep We will awaken Rally to the call The servants will become the masters We'll take it all R.E.D. - red! Rise, Evolve, Dominate R.E.D. - Red Equals Danger R.E.D. - red! Rise, Enslave, Decimate R.E.D. - red! 10. Dark Night Of The Soul Music by Arjen Lucassen & Joost van den Broek Lyrics by Simone Simons
Stars shining above me
Wait for my soul Free me, so you can take me home Light of my heart That once burned so brightly Will need to die and be revived Dark night of the soul Moments reigned by fears All the tears that I have been hiding fall on me Dark night of the soul I have walked alone From the mountains to the valley of my dreams When I close my eyes My soul has the answers Secrets untold They play a mournful melody I feel in my bones It's time to go home Cast off the weight that held me down Dark night of the soul Moments reigned by fears All the tears that I have been hiding fall on me Dark night of the soul I have walked alone From the mountains to the valley of my dreams When I close my eyes |
