02. When Forever Ends
Now that everything is lost my colours they are slowly fading
I cast no shadow but another level is waiting Journey through the black abyss is only in my fevered mind Even time and space have gone - impossible to find From far beyond the nothingness - the end A twilight voice is calling me back again Waiting at the bottom of the sea in giant twisted cities The story of mankind is soon to be unwritten Boundaries of dim expansion growing to a roaring river I'm screaming silent - I'm raving mad with fever From far beyond the nothingness - the end A twilight voice is calling me back again I stare into the darkness trying to believe my eyes Through eons dwelling formless Now it's time for you to rise Come rest thy tired soul until forever ends Rest until you know the future again on you depends Then go and free your mind - make up another paradise And the humans will be waiting... When forever ends i'll be thy servant, i'll be there for you your rotten smell is sweet - delight in mystery I will gaze into your eyes with black amazement in my head The Great Old Ones will now consume our hopes From far beyond the nothingness - the end A twilight voice is calling me back again I stare into the darkness trying to believe my eyes Through eons dwelling formless Now it's time for you to rise 03. The Vision
Today the sky is gray
gray as the thoughts in my head And i have been down for so long always endless trails i tread I've climbed the highest mountains But I still can't reach the top Looking at a wasteland That just never seems to stop Come walk with me the world to see And look for understanding Come walk with me blue sky to see And hope to be set free Then like from out of nowhere a vision comes to me Picturing the king of eagles coming from the sea He talks to me in tongues That i have never known before but i notice that i understand as if it were my own Come fly with me out to the sea I'll show you understanding Come fly with me the end to see And i will set you free So now im flying to the sea To see the world with diffirent eyes I've found a place to call my own Where i can learn that i have been set free 04. Intoxicated
I stare at the sky and see
What i've tried to see so many years the purity of space and time To see it all through intoxicated tears Cratinf a trip through hexagonal space Im fighting the laws of gravity Burning my eyes to understand blind agitation 'gainst my own sanity you can fool a man forever Fill him with you lies You can fool mankind once Drawing a web of lies Burning their eyes to understand you can't fool mankind forever I've never tried to embrace myself tight It's not how i want it to be And i found in my head that i always did right Even thoguh you speak angry with me Spiraling confusing appears As the world keeps coming back What i felt is description of ALL And madness is my only friend you can fool a man forever Fill him with you lies You can fool mankind once Drawing a web of lies Burning their eyes to understand you can't fool mankind forever 05. Beyond The Walls Of Sleep
I eager for knowledge
And the power to travel beyond It's the soul within i'm after to journey with you is my bond Towards Algol - The demonstar We fly above valleys so deep In the shining mists of Orion's sword We'll meet beyond the walls of sleep More than two thousand years from now Evil empire Tsan-Chan will appear And what you call ancient egypt Is where i'll dwell next year Towards Algol - The demonstar We fly above valleys so deep In the shining mists of Orion's sword We'll meet beyond the walls of sleep 06. Nowhere Land
(The timegate is opened...)
I'll desecrate your weak beliefs You must feel so old Went out to see another world And found that it had turned so cold Stranded in unknown sourroundings In a place where time has no meaning Cant seem to find my way out of here Trapped in a nowhere land Open my thoughts to the masses The manticore is my illusion Cant seem to open the door out of here Trapped ina a nowhere land Absent but absolutely there Consciousness expanding I know the meaning of it all That's what im thinking Stranded in unknown sourroundings In a place where time has no meaning Cant seem to find my way out of here Trapped in a nowhere land Open my thoughts to the masses The manticore is my illusion Cant seem to open the door out of here Trapped ina a nowhere land And so we fought... 07. The Flood
(The timegate is closed...)
(They came from a galaxy far away to fight their holy war in The pliocene world called Terra The manycolored land) They take a sadistic delight of destroying In a world of coercive power and might breeding a new type of hyprid child To conquer the world without a fight To condemn the power of strength The astonishing mental capacity The tool to obstruct the second Chance of trying for humanity - for humanity Healing every wound No sickness - no aging - no dying Living for a thousand years or more The human exiles are crying To serve the exotics of Tana They're feeling the gray torcs around their necks All can they stop mental punishment If unitu'd fight its way through - fight its way through A group of lowlifes refusing to submit to the host Making a plan to destroy the ruling race the non-born king of humans has the solving in his hands Deceiving his own - and shows his real face (Yes...we adopted the humans. They fight our battles, they grow our food, They operate our mines and factories, they administer our commerce, They infiltrate our sacret guilds, They mingle their very blood and genes with our own. But that is not all. We are faced with the ultimate humiliation - And once again we have brought it upon ourselves. For a human now aspires to our high kingship...) Interrogation - humiliation - blind agression - devastation The maddened raven creates the earthquake to break down the barrier to the sea Killing the host with the flood - catastrophe Water remains there to be 08. Pale Faces
One hour ago - a step back in time
The season drew the pupils in my eyes When the water turned to blood It turned my guilt into the lies Gold is the metal of purity My body has turned in for good Every crawling corner in my mind Changing the things i understood How can it be - That you're blinded again You can hear them dying within the souls under your skin Crunple in a sea of sin Gold is the metal of purity My body has turned in for good Every crawling corner in my mind Changing the things i understood So well - so bright Im flying away - i cannot stay dawn breaks free and pale faces are turning the night Gold is the metal of purity My body has turned in for good Every crawling corner in my mind Changing the things i understood So well - so bright Im flying away - i cannot stay dawn breaks free and pale faces are turning the night 09. Private Hell
Standing up - I'm looking down
at the ground below Can't change my situation by execution How can it be my life it means so much to me? I'm doomed anyway - my friend can't you see? There's no god to save me From this private hell No angel of mercy Comes to my cell How can it be my life it means so much to me? I'm doomed anyway - my friend can't you see? Standing up - I'm looking down at the ground below Can't change my situation by execution How can it be my life it means so much to me? I'm doomed anyway - my friend can't you see? 10. Roots Of Eternity
I can't see whether it's me or my blood that drags me down
thoughts in my head tell me i'm not even around I can't see no solution to the suffering of the weakest creature of all One for me is the rope around my neck but i don't want the curtain to fall illusions of better days - ignored Buried in a state of mind - absorbed I don't care anymore cause my world is gone No hope for you - no hope for me No hope for everyone How can i tell the truth when i dont even know if its the truth i tell Damn it, my friend, i don't care if you won't help But would you please then put me into my shell Draw a line in the sand to keep me knowing where your boundaries explode I don't wish to die but if i had the choice i'd rather not corrode I will always cry inside - Profane Inapproachable, yes - insane I don't care anymore cause my world is gone No hope for you - no hope for me No hope for everyone carved in me to make it last, read it through the splintered glass Swallowed whole my only hope to lift the grief hiding from the past Dare not look into these eyes all too aware of the pain i'll find But i can't resist the temptation search for my soul to leave it all behind All locked doors inside my head - betrayed Shadows haunt my loneliness - depraved I quite dont know why i smiled back then It must have been a memory Of a place that i have been Sorry if i said too much and now you know my name It's just a way to hide myself Can you tell me why i came there's no miracles no more and life it goes its ways water feels like fire In my hands i'll find my face For much to long i had my conscience on the floor Been drifting in a circle till i smashed my head into the door It's because the roots are no longer below they're dead and it's easy to show Take my hand let's walk through the night wait for the end - There's no reason to fight |
