01. Chapter I Stream Of Unconsciousness

Tell me now
How does it feel to see you're talking with your Soul?
Your dig within
Tell me now
Is this the truth you always have been searching for?
Was it worth the price?

Through the veils of human uncertainty
Reside the nameless words we're not allowed to know
Would this veil break?
That's where your mind has gone
A trip with no return
Through the meaning of what we call... Life

02. Chapter II The Secret Of Life

Too much confusion running in my head
Memories melt down and fade
Overthrowing, new discoveries are here
Telling me the untold... Answers

A new sensation, a strange reaction to
What I feel inside myself
I see answers, I hear echoes of a life
Could it be the one I left behind

What is the secret of life?
How many times, God you know
I try so hard to discover the way
To break down the curtain blinding my eyes

Things get clearer, I knew I would not like
Life's so hard to take sometimes
I've been living, I've been dying... Why?
Everything here's so inside out

What is the secret of life?
How many times, God you know
I try so hard to discover the way
To tear down the curtain blinding my eyes

Find another way
Gotta find another way
Break these chains
I wanna break these chains so bad
Wait another day
I can't wait another day
Find another way
Find another way before I get crazy, before it's too late...

03. Chapter III Colours Of My World

Years were going like sand exposed to morning wind
Slowly hopes left place to dreams
Past and future all at once everything has gone
Take your time to say goodbye

To my life... In a single chance I try
To my fears... 'Cause I've seen' em day by day

Somewhere in my dreams I can see
Lying the colours of my world
Where my spirit sometimes falls
And I wonder if there's a way to paint these walls
With the colours of my world living deep inside my soul?

All that world around me suffocated my will
In that grey I slowly chilled
There with nothing winding me sometimes I felt so old
Like a man who lived for too long

A hundred Years... I surrender to my fears
A thousand Years... Whish I could forget my tears

Somewhere in my dreams I can see
Lying the colours of my world
Where my spirit sometimes falls
And I wonder if there's a way to paint these walls
With the colours of my world living deep inside my soul?

Now I'm here sitting in a corner of an empty room
With pearled eyes
In my mind the silence, immobility of a frozen gloom
In a stolen smile
Through the veils
Of human unconsciousness
Reside the nameless words we are not allowed to know
Would I break this veil?
That's where my mind has gone
A trip with no return
Through the meaning of what we call... Life

...What we call... Life...
...What we call... Life...
...What we call... Life...

Somewhere in my dreams I can see
Lying the colours of my world
Where my spirit sometimes falls
And I wonder if there's a way to paint these walls
With the colours of my world living deep inside my soul?

04. Chapter IV In The Light

[Instrumental]

05. Chapter V The Fallen Feather

So my life was fading to an end
With that grim sense of nothing surrounding me
My existence flowing away
Lost in the sea of Oblivion

My breath was frozen in time
Becoming eternal
A fallen angel's feather
Relied on me falling still

Through the door of the human desire
I saw the land we are all looking for
Along our lives
There's no truth, there's no lie
Simply it is
Now and forever will be
An angel there staring at me
By that door he waits for me

In the silence, silent it came
A sudden stream of consciousness
Like a river flowing aside
From deep within, beside me

A candle's light can be strong
Enough to light the deepest dark
The human will it can bring out
So strong to lead us the way

Through the door of the human desire
I saw the land we are all looking for
Along our lives
There's no truth, there's no lie
Simply it is
Now and forever will be
An Angel there staring at me
By that door he waits for me

Feelings that I can't tell heaven and hell at the same time
It's so cold here
Can't keep so much inside my thoughts are flowing out
Away from their nest to my chest

There's no black, there's no white
But all in between
The shades of a grey you can see
The colours are just a fantasy
Give my soul another me
There's so much that's left to say
Ain't gonna rush
Need time to find the right words
Need time to find the right way
Need someone to stop my rove

06. Chapter VI La Vita Fugge

La vita fugge et non s'arresta una hora,
et la morte vien dietro a gran giornate,
et le cose presenti, et le passate
mi danno guerra, et le future anchora;
e 'l rimembrare et l'aspettar m'accora
or quinci or quindi, si che 'n veritate,
se non ch'i' ho di me stesso pietate,
i' sarei gia di questi pensier' fora.
Tornami avanti s'alcun dolce mai
ebbe 'l cor tristo; et poi da l'altra parte
veggio al mio navigar turbati i venti;
veggio fortuna in porto, et stanco omai
il mio nocchier, et rotte arbore et sarte,
e i lumi bei, che mirar soglio, spenti.
[F. Petrarca - Sonetto CCLXXII]

If I could stop time...
How many things that I would change from the past
I'd set my life right

If I could live forever
How many emotions I would learn to control
And feel what I want

Time is running too fast for me
You can't stop its course
Never surrender, I'll sleep when I'm dead
Time is moving along too fast
I can't think straight
Won't take all the time that I need
If I try I'll always be late

I wanna kill time
Win my own war to survive
Only a chance... I'd surely not fail

Time is running too fast for me
You can't stop its course
Never surrender, I'll sleep when I'm dead
Time is moving along too fast
I can't think straight
Won't take all the time that I need
If I try I'll always be late

Time is running too fast for me
You can't stop its course
Never surrender, I'll sleep when I'm dead
Time is moving along too fast
I can't think straight
Won't take all the time that I need
I'll always be late

07. Chapter VII Versions Of The Same

We're only two versions of the same
Trying to get far but we can't fall apart
And I know all of your silent cries
Your desperate call of the wild in the dark

No you never had to feel this way
There's an answer that grows in your heart
All you see, all you feel lives inside of me
You've been heading too close to the sun

Going nowhere, nothing is forever
Tell me... Am I wrong? I'm falling down with you

'Cause I know we are one
Don't you know we are two versions of the same
You can't find your way if you are not with me
And I know we are one
Yes I know we are two versions of the same
There's so much left to say but you do need some faith

All the secrets I keep inside
Something that's not to be known from this side
What I see, what I feel
What I need to know and what I never really say
Now our souls are too close to combine

Come here, follow me
Through the Gates of Heaven
Tell me... Am I wrong? I really can't go on

'Cause I know we are one
Don't you know we are two versions of the same
You can't find your way if you are not with me
And I know we are one
Yes I know we are two versions of the same
There's so much left to say but you do need some faith

'Cause I know we are one
Don't you know we are two versions of the same
You can't find your way if you are not with me
And I know we are one
Yes I know we are two versions of the same
There's so much left to say but you do need some faith

...All you need is faith...

08. Chapter VIII Through The Eyes Of God

My body forsaken, my feelings coming down
I'm here with no rights to complain
No more directions, well now I realize
There are things human beings can't conceive
I need to focus, I need control
I'm losing the key of my mind
I can't keep the whole oceans
Into the palm of my hands

Memories are flowing
Through the waves of a whispering wind
Time to lead my soul way back to the very beginning

Through the eyes of God I discover
Things I can't keep all inside, I'm burning
Afterlife consumed me
My sweat is one with my bleeding
Through the eyes of God I got blinded
I can't fight my will, I may try with no change
The more he tried to make me see
The sooner my faith and my will disappear

Awake and aware but I'm lost and not found
I'm lying here still crying for more
My brain's a toy, something bound to break
Spelled by the shell of my soul

Tears are falling all over me and you
No way you can stop this crazy rain
Take a look inside of me and tell me what do you see?

Through the eyes of God I discover
Things I can't keep all inside, I'm burning
Afterlife consumed me
My sweat is one with my bleeding
Through the eyes of God I got blinded
I can't fight my will, I may try with no change
The more he tried to make me see
The sooner my faith and my will disappear

Pain, hope, trust, love and hate, joy and delusion...
All in one
Life, death, blood and tears and rage, fear
Envy, misery and faith...
Forgiveness... It can change it all...

I feel I'm coming down
I'm here, no rights to complain
My fears, my sanity...
Broke down relieving me
I feel I'm coming down
I'm here, no rights to complain
My fears, my sanity...
Broke down relieving me

Through the eyes of God I discover
Things I can't keep all inside, I'm burning
After life consumed me
My sweat is one with my bleeding
Through the eyes of God I got blinded
I can't fight my will, I may try with no change
The more he tried to make me see
The sooner my faith and my will disappear

09. Chapter IX Shades

Ugly grim grey skies
Found a mirror with my eyes
Flowing deep inside my veins
Questions and answers
Running round and round too fast
Sliding down to my chest

Images melt in my mind
With my memories I left back
Present and future all together with past
Your holy touch ain't protecting me
Under the sand of all my tears
All that is left is a bunch of meaningless words

Shades of me and you here and then
Flying upon my daemons
Reaching for visions of the path we walk through
Shades of grey turning red
My life has run much too fast
Our flight has ended here, together we're falling again

So many traces
Of the man that I have been
Where are my golden years?
You're trying to lead me
To a point of no return
Visions melt with my memories
A breeze on my skin is drawing
Lines with the tears along my face
Scares of a crying conscience, blaming at me
Maybe I've lost my sanity
I was, I will be or I am
Whatever it is I won't be the same, that's for sure

Shades of me and you here and then
Flying upon my daemons
Reaching for visions of the path we walk through
Shades of grey turning red
My life has run much too fast
Our flight has ended here, together we're falling again

Shades of me and you here and then
Flying upon my daemons
Reaching for visions of the path we walk through
Shades of grey turning red
My life has run much too fast
Our flight has ended here
Together we're falling... Together we're falling again

10. Chapter X We Are, We Are Not

My life's been flowing out of hands
Long from my darkest fears
But I will find the strength to carry on
Don't be afraid to tell, I know that it's over
All the way that's where I'm heading with no regrets
I filled the hunger inside of me
With the last call of my revenge

In myself I found my prison
Only you can tell me why
The fall of my reason's releasing my soul

We are,
we are not...
Our future's our tomorrow's past
We are,
we are not...
Please
Take my hand and bring me out of here
Before this cage can drive me mad
There's no hope for me for some sanity
I lost my mind
We are,
we are not.

My flashbacks fill my thoughts with dread
Moving along with loneliness
All the years gone by still in my head
Here in these endless lies we are living in
Right now that we just can't say goodbye
There's such a mess inside my mind
We both lost our way
And it seems we'll never meet again

In myself I found my prison
Only you can tell me why
The fall of my reason1s releasing my soul

We are,
we are not...
Our future's our tomorrow's past
We are,
we are not...
Please
Take my hand and bring me out of here
Before this cage can drive me mad
There's no hope for me for some sanity
I lost my mind
We are,
we are not.

13. Chapter XIII Out Of The Maze

Finally light!
Finally I'm free to run away... away from the night
It was too much time
Spent like a dead man walking by
I finally can spread my wings

No more tears, no more fights
Each one is free to take his own way out
You take yours, I'll take mine

Out of the maze
Revealing secrets we kept on the way
Who knows who's right
Breaking the chains I'm gonna give up my future to fate
Nothing else to say

Now I'm alright
Eventually I saw what was not clear to my eyes
For all my life
Thought I had friends I could confess
My fears and my hopes

No more tears, no more fights
Each one is free to take his own way out
You take yours, I'll take mine

Out of the maze
Revealing secrets we kept on the way
Who knows who's right
Breaking the chains I'm gonna give up my future to fate
Nothing else to say

Out of the maze
Revealing secrets we kept on the way
Who knows who's right
Breaking the chains I'm gonna give up my future to fate
Nothing else to say

14. Chapter XIV Identities

You and me
A madman and his Angel to their final trip
Drifting in a sullen sea, identities
Divided by a tiny line we cannot see
But I can feel your presence right here

Tell me where I've gone
And where are my dreams and my desires?
They just run away
And I sit here with these empty words to tell

I can feel your Spirit falling down in me
I feel your holy wings
Calming down my fears and rage that slowly pass me by

Now I see
That in this dark surrounding me I will find some peace
And all the truth I needed was right here with me
All the reasons why I lost my soul
I can't get back
Forgive me, if you can... I won't

Thanks for what you've done
And for being how you are with me
The sun is going down
Don't keep me here waiting for the dawn alone
I can feel your Spirit falling down in me
I feel your holy wings
Calming down my fears and rage that slowly pass me by

Here I am
Is this the end I always have been searching for?
The meaning of what I called life?
