02. See Who I Am
Is it true what they say
Are we too blind to find a way? Fear of the unknown Clouds our hearts today. Come into my world, See through my eyes. Try to understand, Don't want to lose what we have. We've been dreaming But who can deny, It's the best way of living Between the truth and the lies. See who I am, Break through the surface. Reach for my hand, Let's show them that we can Free our minds and find a way. The world is in our hands This is not the end. Fear is withering the soul At the point of no return. We must be the change we wish to see. I'll come into your world, See through your eyes. I'll try to understand, Before we lose what we have. We just can't stop believing Because we have to try. We can rise above their truth and their lies. See who I am, Break through the surface. Reach for my hand, Let's show them that we can Free our minds and find a way. The world is in our hands. This is not the end. I hear their silence Preaching my blame. Will our strength remain If their power reigns? See who I am, Break through the surface. Reach for my hand, And show them that we can Free our minds and find a way. The world is in our hands. This is not the end. 03. Jillian (I'd Give My Heart)
I've been dreaming for so long,
To find a meaning To understand. The secret of life, Why am I here To try again? Will I always, Will you always See the truth When it stares you in the face? Will I ever Will I never free myself By breaking these chains? I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul. I'd turn it back, it's my fault. Your destiny is forlorn, Have to live till it's undone. I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul. I'd turn it back And then at last I'll be on my way. I've been living for so long, Many seasons have passed me by. I've seen kingdoms through ages Rise and fall, I've seen it all. I've seen the horror, I've seen the wonders Happening just in front of my eyes. Will I ever Will I never free myself by making it right? I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul. I'd turn it back, it's my fault. Your destiny is forlorn, Have to live till it's undone. I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul. I'd turn it back And then at last I'll be on my way. Jillian Our dream ended long ago. All our stories And all our glory I held so dear. We won't be together for ever and ever, No more tears. I'll always be here Untill the end... (Jillian, no more tears... Jillian, no more tears...) I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul. I'd turn it back, it's my fault. Your destiny is forlorn, Have to live till it's undone. I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul. I'd turn it back And then at last I'll be on my way. 04. Stand My Ground
I can see
When you stay low nothing happens Does it feel right? Late at night Things I thought I put behind me Haunt my mind I just know there's no escape Now once it sets its eyes on you But I won't run, Have to stare it in the eye Stand my ground, I won't give in No more denying, I've got to face it Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside If I don't make it, someone else will Stand my ground It's all around Getting stronger, coming closer Into my world I can feel That it's time for me to face it Can I take it? Though this might just be the ending Of the life I held so dear But I won't run, There's no turning back from here Stand my ground, I won't give in No more denying, I've got to face it Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside If I don't make it, someone else will Stand my ground All I know for sure is I'm trying I will always stand my ground Stand my ground, I won't give in No more denying, I've got to face it Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside If I don't make it, someone else will Stand my ground 05. Pale
The world seems not the same
Though I know nothing has changed It's all my state of mind I can't leave it all behind I have to stand up to be stronger I have to try To break free From the thoughts in my mind Use the time that I have I can say goodbye Have to make it right Have to fight 'Cause I know in the end it's worthwhile That the pain that I feel slowly fades away It will be all right I know I should realize Time is precious It is worthwhile Despite how I feel inside Have to trust it'll be alright Have to stand up to be stronger I have to try To break free From the thoughts in my mind Use the time that I have I can say goodbye Have to make it right Have to fight 'Cause I know in the end it's worthwhile That the pain that I feel slowly fades away It will be all right Oh, this night is too long Have no strength to go on No more pain I'm floating away Through the mist I see the face Of an angel, calls my name I remember you're the reason I have to stay I have to try To break free From the thoughts in my mind Use the time that I have I can say goodbye Have to make it right Have to fight 'Cause I know in the end it's worthwhile That the pain that I feel slowly fades away It will be all right 06. Forsaken
Now the day has come
We are forsaken this time We lived our lives In our paradise As Gods we shaped the world around No borderlines We stayed behind No boundaries is something fragile Well we thought we were gaining We turned back the time It still slips away Our time has run out Our future has died There's no more escape Now the day has come We are forsaken There's no time any more Life will pass us by We are forsaken We're the last of our kind The sacrifice Was much to hide Our grief just made us all go on We try to hide what we fear inside Today is the end of tomorrow As the sea started rise And the land that we conquered It just washed away We all have tried To turn back the time It was all in vain Now the day has come We are forsaken There's no time any more Life will pass us by We are forsaken Only rules stay below (Een hoop gebrabbel) Now the day has come We are forsaken this time Now the day has come We are forsaken There's no time any more Now the day has come, The day has come 07. Angels
Sparkling angel
I believe You are my saviour In my time of need Blinded by faith I couldn't hear All the whispers The warning's so clear I see the angels I'll lead them to your door There is no escape now Now mercy no more No remorse 'cause I still remember The smile when you tore me apart You took my heart Deceived me right from the start You showed me dreams I wished they'd turn to real You broke the promise And made me realise It was all just a lie Sparkling angel Couldn't see Your dark intentions Your feelings for me Fallen angel Tell me why? What is the reason? The thorn in your eye I see the angels I'll lead them to your door There is no escape now No mercy no more No remorse 'cause I still remember The smile when you tore me apart You took my heart Deceived me right from the start You showed me dreams I wished they'd turn to real You broke the promise And made me realise It was all just a lie Could have been forever Now we have reached the end This world may have failed you It doesn't give the reason why You could have chosen A different path of life The smile when you tore me apart You took my heart Deceived me right from the start You showed me dreams I wished they'd turn in to real You broke a promise And made me realise It was all just a lie Could have been forever Now we have reached the end 08. Memories
In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind There's no other way I'll pray to the gods: let him stay The memories ease the pain inside Now I know why All of my memories Keep you near In silent moments Imagine you'd be here All of my memories Keep you near The silent whispers, silent tears Made me promise I'd try To find my way back in this life I hope there is a way To give me a sign you're okay Reminds me again It's worth it all So I can go home All of my memories Keep you near In silent moments Imagine you'd be here All of my memories Keep you near The silent whispers, silent tears Together in all these memories I see your smile All the memories I hold dear Darling you know I love you till the end of time All of my memories Keep you near In silent moments Imagine you'd be here All of my memories Keep you near The silent whispers, silent tears 09. Aquarius
I hear your whispers
Break the silence And it calms me down Your taste on my lips Your salty kisses They say I'm seeking up the danger That one day you won't let me go (I'll drown, you'll take me down) I need you Aquarius Enchanted I will have to stay. I feel you Aquarius 'Cause you don't see, set me free You call to me Aquarius (You call to me, you set me free) I relinquish To your powers From your grasp I just can't hide I missed the danger I had to conquer You made me feel alive They say I have to be aware That one day you won't let me go Take me down I need you Aquarius Enchanted I will have to stay. I feel you Aquarius 'Cause you don't see, set me free You call to me Aquarius (You call to me, you set me free) I long for you Aquarius I need to be with you again I fear you, Aquarius My destiny 'till the end I need you Aquarius Enchanted I will have to stay. I feel you Aquarius 'Cause you don't see, set me free You call to me Aquarius (You call to me, you set me free) 10. It's The Fear
It awaits for the day
Will let it out Give it a reason To give its might I fear of who I am becoming I fear that I'm losing The struggle within I can no longer restrain it My strength, it is fading I have to give in It's the fear of the dark It's growing inside of me They won, they will come alive (Have to save) To save my beloved, There is no escape 'Cause my faith is horror and doom Hold down your head now Just let me pass by Don't feed my fear If you don't want it out I fear for who I'm becoming I feel that I'm losing All beauty within I can no longer restrain it My strength it is fading I have to give in It's the fear of the dark It's growing inside of me They won, they will come alive (Have to save) To save my beloved, There is no escape 'Cause my faith is horror and doom Long ago it came to me And ever since that day Infected with its rage But it ends today. It's the fear of the dark It's growing inside of me They won, they will come alive (Have to save) To save my beloved, There is no escape 'Cause my faith is horror and doom 11. Somewhere
Lost in the darkness
Hoping for a sign Instead there's only silence Can't you hear my screams? Never stop hoping Need to know where you are But one thing's for sure You're always in my heart I'll find you somewhere I'll keep on trying Until my dying day I just need to know Whatever has happened The truth will free my soul Lost in the darkness Tried to find your way home I want to embrace you And never let you go Almost hope you're in heaven So no one can hurt your soul Living in agony Cause I just do not know Where you are I'll find you somewhere I'll keep on trying Until my dying day I just need to know Whatever has happened The truth will free my soul Wherever you are I won't stop searching Whatever it takes me to know I'll find you somewhere I'll keep on trying Until my dying day I just need to know Whatever has happened The truth will free my soul 12. A Dangerous Mind
I'm searching for answers
'cause something is not right. I follow the signs, I'm close to the fire. I fear that soon you'll reveal Your dangerous mind. It's in your eyes, what's on your mind. I fear your smile and the promise inside. It's in your eyes, what's on your mind. I fear your presence, I'm frozen inside. I'm searching for answers Not questioned before. The curse of awareness, There's no peace of mind. As your true colours show A dangerous sign. It's in your eyes, what's on your mind. I see the truth that you've buried inside. It's in your eyes, what's on your mind. There is no mercy just anger I find. I just have know, while I still have time. Do I have to run, or hide away from you? It's in your eyes, what's on your mind. I see the truth that you've buried inside. It's in your eyes, what's on your mind. There is no mercy just anger I find. 13. The Swan Song
Winter has come for me, can't carry on.
The chains to my life are strong but soon they'll be gone. I'll spread my wings one more time. Is it a dream? All the ones I have loved calling out my name. The sun warms my face. All the days of my life, I see them passing me by. In my heart I know I can let go. In the end I will find some peace inside. New wings are growing tonight. Is it a dream? All the ones I have loved calling out my name. The sun warms my face. All the days of my life, I see them passing me by. As I am soaring I'm one with the wind. I am longing to see you again, it's been so long. We will be together again. Is it a dream? All the ones I have loved calling out my name. The sun warms my face. All the days of my life, I see them passing me by. 14. Overcome
Where are the heroes in my time of need
Is my crying abandoned or have they gone? Oh no They just tend to stand out of the rain Thinking but not acting that they're not to blame Falling and crawling a fight to stand up Memory still haunts me in the dead of night Over and over I felt so small But one day I'll be stronger and you better watch out (I will overcome) In violence there's silence oh no, it can't be undone (I will overcome) Knowing that I'm not the only one (I will overcome) It's the only way to carry on Where are the saviours afraid of the toll? Sorry, do my nine inch nails slash your soul? Such heroes throwing stones Straight at the one, who is standing alone? Twisting and turning, it's always the same The truth is never honest when you're to blame Pushing and pulling, never give in One day I wish you see you're not so beautiful within (I will overcome) In violence there's silence oh no, it can't be undone (I will overcome) Knowing that I'm not the only one (I will overcome) It's the only way to carry on Run and run... Run and run... (I will overcome) In violence there's silence oh no, it can't be undone (I will overcome) Knowing that I'm not the only one (I will overcome) It's the only way to carry on, I will overcome 15. Towards The End
The turn against
The world we know Now our destiny Will be decided We have to send our brothers in arms With pain in our heart We watched them go Will they return? Truth is we had no choice We'll try to shield those we can No better world Let this end Mothers cry Our boys die But we'll stand 'till the end 16. Destroyed
I did my best to please you
But my best was never good enough Somehow you're only able to see All I am not Did you ever look behind Aren't you afraid of the pieces you'll find I have failed you But you have failed me too It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand Do you ever wonder if it's justified It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand In your life why didn't you ever try I close my eyes as I walk the thin line between love and hate For the person with the same blood in his veins You show no regrets About all the things you did or said I have failed you But believe me you failed me too It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand Do you ever wonder if it's justified It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand In your life why didn't you ever try It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand Do you ever wonder if it's justified It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand Do you ever wonder if it's justified 17. Jane Doe
Why, you just won't leave my mind?
Was this the only way? I couldn't let you stay Run away, hide away The secrets in your mind Sacrificed just her life For a higher love No matter how many stones you put inside. She'll always keeps on floating in your mind. With every turn of your head you see her face again, Until the end, over and over again. Why, you just won't leave my mind? Was this the only way? I couldn't let you stay Told the truth she laughed at you Something snapped inside. She had to go or they would know, All you tried to hide The sins of your life are now catching up with you. You can't stay ahead. There's nothing you can do. With every turn of your head you see her face again, Until the end, over and over again. Why, you just won't leave my mind? Was this the only way? I couldn't let you stay Why, you just won't leave my mind? Was this the only way? I couldn't let you stay Why, you just won't leave my mind? Was this the only way? I couldn't let you stay 18. Say My Name
Say my name
So I will know you're back You're here again for a while Oh let us share The memories that only We can share together Tell me about The days before I was born How we were as children You touch my hand As colours come alive In your heart and in your mind I cross the borders of time Leaving today behind To be with you again We breathe the air Do you remember how You used to touch my hand You're not aware Your hands keep still You just don't know that I am here It hurts too much I pray now that soon You release to where you belong You touch my hand As colours come alive In your heart and in your mind I cross the borders of time Leaving today behind To be with you again Please say my name Remember who I am You will find me in the world of yesterday You'll drift away again Too far from where I am When you ask me who I am Say my name As colours come alive In your heart and in your mind I cross the borders of time Leaving today behind To be with you again Say my name |
