[Instrumental]

Something is not right here
Is racking my mind
It's all around me, I feel it inside
Like I'm locked in some prison
And my world is a lie
Chills my emotion, blinding in my eyes

Let go of your anger, empty your mind
Return to your senses, accept what you find
You are here for a reason
Cut through these lies
Lives are in danger, open up your eyes!

Reach for the answer - digital rain
Take your chances and taste the pain

Open up your mind
Don't trust your senses
You have been blind - digital rain

Awaken the sleeper - digital rain
Dig down deeper and break the chain

Let the truth flood in
Tear down your fences
The search begins - digital rain

I've entered the real world, I know what to do
The search is over, the prediction is true

Many millions of people exploited like slaves
But you can release them
From their digital graves

Let go of your anger
Empty your mind
Return to your senses
Accept what you find
You are here for a reason

Open up your mind
Cut through these lies
Don't trust your senses
Lives are in danger
You have been blind
Open up your eyes
Digital rain

I've entered the real world
Awaken the sleeper
I know what to do
Digital rain

The search is over
Dig down deeper
The prediction is true
And break the chain
Many millions of people
Let the truth flood in
Exploited like slaves
Tear down your fences
Can release them
The search begins
From their digital graves

Digital rain!

Mother Earth couldn't take no more
Sucked dry by humanity
In the end she lost a fight
She was never going to win

We set out for distant shores
Far across our galaxy
We're taking flight into the night
To the planets on the rim

A fire in the darkness
Far away from the Earth that Was
A quest for freedom in the Verse
Seeking refuge from the earth

A fire in the darkness
A bright light on the edge of space
A desperate need to find our place
In the emptiness of space

Out here on the fringe of space
The outskirts of society
We're suffering the aftermath
Of a cataclysmic war

Cast out by the human race
Nine outlaw pioneers
Making life in the outer worlds
Running from the law

A fire in the darkness
Far away from the Earth that Was
A quest for freedom in the Verse
Seeking refuge from the earth

A fire in the darkness
A bright light on the edge of space
A desperate need to find our place
In the emptiness of space

I see a fire in the darkness
A ray of hope in a black forbidding night
I see a fire in the darkness
A spark of life in a cold and empty sky

A fire in the darkness
Far away from the Earth that Was
A quest for freedom in the Verse
Seeking refuge from the earth

A fire in the darkness
A bright light on the edge of space
A desperate need to find our place
In the emptiness of space

A fire in the darkness
Far away from the Earth that Was
A quest for freedom in the Verse
Seeking refuge from the earth

A fire in the darkness
A bright light on the edge of space
A desperate need to find our place
In the emptiness of space

Prowling 'round the city slums, hungry for distraction
Lashings of violence fire me up inside
A dose of nasty, some "social interaction'
Cry out, have a laugh, never, ever holding back

Ripping through the countryside, dying for some danger
The sound of symphonies sends shivers up my spine
Beat up some loser, harass some random stranger
Fly high, feel no pain, I'm singing singing in the rain

You're just a child who's lost his way
A wandering soul led astray
But we all know what's right for you!
You're just a child consumed by rage
A victim of a modern age

You're just a child who had no choice
A mindless pawn without a voice
But we all know what's right for you!
A restless mind trapped in this cage
A victim of a modern age

I am not an evil man, I swear to you, my brothers
I've learned my lesson now, I have changed my ways
I was merely blinded by the treachery of others
Hell yeah, now I am sure, I survived, I am cured!

You're just a child who's lost his way
A wandering soul led astray
But we all know what's right for you!
You're just a child consumed by rage
A victim of a modern age

You're just a child who had no choice
A mindless pawn without a voice
But we all know what's right for you!
A restless mind trapped in this cage
A victim of a modern age

Violence makes violence

You're just a child who's lost his way
A wandering soul led astray
But we all know what's right for you!
You're just a child consumed by rage
A victim of a modern age

You're just a child who had no choice
A mindless pawn without a voice
But we all know what's right for you!
A restless mind trapped in this cage
A victim of a modern age

I am not an evil man
I swear to you, my brothers
I'm still singing in the rain
And I'm singing in the rain

Where do you come from, where is your tribe?
You should not be here, you can't be alive
A vicious killer, you'll never be tamed
You belong in this cage

Why do you fear me, what have I done?
I mean no harm, never hurt anyone
I'm not a liar, what proof do you need?
How can I make you believe?

Drive him back, he must be the last
From beyond the zone
Save our future, bury our past
It must never be known

Beware the beast, there's danger in his eyes
I see the truth slipping through
Beware the beast, don't believe his lies
Human see, human do

Your proof is empty, conjecture at best
You're not superior, we're not impressed
Go find your fate, the lot of mankind
You won't like what you find

Your scrolls are lying, man was here first
We are superior, just like on earth
You know the secret, why can't you share?
Tell me why you're so scared!

Drive him back, he must be the last
From beyond the zone
Save our future, bury our past
It must never be known

Beware the beast, there's danger in his eyes
I see the truth slipping through
Beware the beast, don't believe his lies
Human see, human do

See no evil
Hear no evil
Speak no evil
Do no evil

Drive him back, he must be the last
From beyond the zone
Save our future, bury our past
It must never be known

Beware the beast, there's danger in his eyes
I see the truth slipping through
Beware the beast, don't believe his lies
Human see, human do

A crime-ridden city
Confined within these walls
A place without pity
A place of sin...

No rules apply here
Among this desperate crowd
Once you go in
You are never coming out

You've got 24 hours
To change the course of history
Just 24 hours, your time is running out!

You've got 24 hours
To trace our man and set him free
Our very last chance
Our fate is in your hands!

You're trapped on this island
Your life ticking away
This hotbed of violence
Could be your grave...

You're on your own here
No one to save your skin
You better give up
Cos there is no way you can win

You've got 24 hours
To change the course of history
Just 24 hours, your time is running out!

You've got 24 hours
To trace our man and set him free
Our very last chance
Our fate is in your hands!

Too many died for an empty cause
Too many died all in vain
Too many died for your senseless laws
Count me out, I will never be a part of this game

Too many died for an empty cause
Too many died all in vain
Too many died for your senseless laws
Count me out, I will never be a part of this game

A crime-ridden city
Confined within these walls
A place without pity
A place of sin...

No rules apply here
Among this desperate crowd
Once you go in
You are never coming out

You've got 24 hours
To change the course of history
Just 24 hours, your time is running out!

You've got 24 hours
To trace our man and set him free
Our very last chance
Our fate is in your hands!

Too many died for an empty cause
Too many died all in vain
Too many died for your senseless laws
Count me out, I will never be a part of this game

You are a beautiful woman in a beautiful world
But your world is gonna die
I have seen the human race
Drop dead in the blink of an eye

You created this dream out of bits and pieces
Filed away in your mind
You're caught inside a fantasy
But we'll find the truth inside

You gotta hear me out, though you wouldn't understand
I came back to the past
I have come to save our world
Time's up, so we better move fast

I want to help you deal with the rage you feel
It's still not too late
You created your own world
But it's starting to disintegrate!

Cassandra complex, everlasting scream
We can change the future but we can't change the past
Cassandra complex, ever-changing dream
We can shape the present but we can't make it last

I think you may be right, I'm insane after all
This is all in my mind
I just want to stay here with you
Leave the bad dream behind

No, I remember you now, guess I've always known
Yes, it was me in your dream
I won't accept that we cannot change
The dark future you have seen!

Cassandra complex, everlasting scream
We can change the future but we can't change the past
Cassandra complex, ever-changing dream
We can shape the present but we can't make it last

The planet is dying, pollution of sea and air
The people denying the death of the atmosphere
The planet is crying, the rape of ecology
The people relying on the rise of technology
And now they have to die!

Cassandra complex, everlasting scream
We can change the future but we can't change the past
Cassandra complex, ever-changing dream
We can shape the present but we can't make it last

Man is declining, man is dying out
Generation of despair
Man has no future, man is crying out
Echoes in the empty air

Mother Nature's striking back, protecting her domain
The last generation fades away
We're the generation of despair
But we must not give up hope, for man can be revived
It's alive, she's alive, we're alive!

Man surrenders, man is giving in
Our world is breaking down
Man has no tomorrow, man has died within
This is our final hour

Mother Nature's changing course, preserving her own home
The last generation's on its own
We're the generation of despair
But we can't give in to failure, man can still survive
It's alive, she's alive, we're alive!

Lies - fictitious dreams - false illusions
Living life with nothing to gain
Eyes - synthetic tears - hollow visions
Moments lost, like tears in the rain
Life - a vacuous truth - a simulation
Watching dreams break down an decay
Survive - a desperate hope - strange desires
Can't give up, there must be a way

I think therefore I am
Am I more human than a man?
I think therefore I am
But will they ever understand?

Pain - living in fear - no compassion
Facing death with nothing to lose
Sustain - future-less world - cold deception
No way out, whatever we do
Why? - meaningless words - empty promises
Is this real or this is a lie?
Deny - darkening skies - twisted emotions
Will I dream, or will I just die?

Four years slipped by too fast
Four years, without a past
And a future we'll never know
Four years is all we had
Four years, no second chance
There is nowhere left to go

Four years slipped by too fast
Four years, without a past
And a future we'll never know
Four years is all we had
Four years, no second chance
There is nowhere left to go

Living a life with nothing left to gain
Moments are lost, like tears in the rain
Watching my dreams break down and decay
I can't give up, there must be a way
Facing death with nothing to lose
No way out, no matter what we try to do
Is this real or this is a lie?
Will I dream, or will I just die?

I think therefore I am
Am I more human than a man?
I think therefore I am
But will they ever understand?

Four years, we were almost there
Four years, no time to spare
Four years, beyond repair
Is it wrong? does anyone care?

Four years of living in fear
Four years, death is near
Four years disappeared
Can't believe I all ends here

Four years, we were almost there
Four years, no time to spare
Four years, beyond repair
Is it wrong? does anyone care?
Four years of living in fear
Four years, death is near
Four years disappeared
Can't believe I all ends here

Time stopped that morning, the world started shaking
It struck without warning, a blinding flare of light
Now the sun is fading, the moon is but a shadow
The land is changing to a cold and barren waste

Try to remember her smile framed by sunlight
Never forget her, the gift she gave to us
Somehow I failed her, she could not face this future
I could not save her from this dark and desperate life

As the crow flies
As the child softly cries
The final trial of man

As the crow dies
As the ashes cloud the skies
Will it ever fly again?

I'm here to lead you on this road to your salvation
I'm here to shield you from the horrors of this world
You know I'm dying, I won't be there to guide you
Don't lose that fire glowing deep inside

You are deranged, you don't exist
Reality's all in your mind
Give it up, you'll never resist
You'll confess, then you die

We are the law, we control your pain
Telling you how to behave
We are the voice inside your brain
You're nothing but a lifeless slave

Black is white and white is black
The fact's a lie and the lie's a fact
You are the dead and the dead are alive
Two plus two equals five

You are alone, you cannot hide
We see every move that you make
You are the last, your dreams have died
Even your past is a fake

We are the cure, we'll make you sane
And purge every sin from your life
Break you down, erase your name
Not even your shadow survives

Peace means war, rich means poor and perfect flawed
Less means more, five means four and hate adore
Love means law, true means false and break restore
Dusk means dawn, here means gone, unbend deform
Die means born, admire means scorn, to know ignore
Won means lost, calm means storm, forget recall
Stand means fall, run means crawl, attack withdraw
Weak means strong, right means wrong, diverge conform

No cold or hunger
No need to suffer
But you're just a number
In a human shell

Your every desire
And all you require
Still you grow tired
Of this earthly hell

A perfect balance in what seems a perfect home
A shadow looms over this crystal dome
The death of freedom is too high a price to pay
Enjoy your last day

You live for the moment (Carousel's a lie)
Your time is stolen (everybody dies)
The system is broken (now you realize)
There's no way out (dystopian utopia on Earth)

A perfect balance in what seems a perfect life
A shadow looms over this paradise
The death of freedom is too high a price to pay
Enjoy your last day

I was born with no future
Born to die without a chance
Well, I refuse to play the hand that life has dealt
I'm as good as anyone, maybe better than most

All they see is imperfections, not the strength I hold inside
I challenge all who reject the force of will
Cause If I'm not good enough, if I'm not real enough
Then I will lie!

I am a child of the stars
And you can't keep me here in a world I don't belong
I need to fly among the stars

We are all children of the stars
Don't feel I'm leaving, no, I feel I'm going home
I'm one step closer to the stars

They say I don't have a future
It wasn't mine from the start
I don't believe that man can live without fault
I'm as good as anyone, much better than them

I accept my imperfections, at least I have a perfect soul
I am the last to be born with free will
I've been luckier than most, not as lucky as some
But I will survive!

Oh, children of the stars, gotta fly, gotta fly
Feels like going home, I'm going home

If they take away my future, and deny me any chance
My imperfection is the demon here inside
I'm badder than anyone, more evil than them...
