Deep in the storm, the fire is born
or so this apprentice was told
Bright like an eye, a tiger's sweet lie
It's burning inside, while revealing my mind:
I want a war and silence no more
All my patience is finally at end

I walk the line, I pray to my kind
I'm sensing they're waiting me there
The fog and the rain, shrouding the plain
I know there is not far to go
Go and find a soul that can reach to my own
See the spark igniting us all

Make a fire of the storm
I am all but ready to die for your cause
Kill the liar, see his fall and this all shall be yours
Make a fire of the storm
And the tribe is ready to die...
... for your cause!

All through the day I hide in this maze
My thoughts slowly twisting my mind
Why all the pain? Why they died in vain?
There's something I feel there's betrayal again
I want a war and silence no more
All my patience is finally at end
Take my advise and learn from the wise
There's no truth only legends and lies

So listen to me we're not what we seem
The prophets have lied all along
There is no cure the pain will endure
There is only one reason to live:
Go and find a soul
That can reach to your own
See the spark igniting us all

You don't see a single thing I see, your conscience is blind
And your spirit's drowning deep
In the swamp of your lies
I'm a monster that's breaking through your mind
And when I'm done
You can't deny my delight

I am so sick and tried of all your words
I could bleed someone dry and your minions, they shall
Learn as I leave you to try beneath a blazing sky
Burning your eyes, hear the roaring high above
As you die

I shall cross your way, as you fade away
Angel of light, your demon and demise
I foresee that day, my righteous hate will
Decimate the lies, my light will shine

Close your eyes, I'll forgive you now is your
Chance to repent remember how it feels cos'
I was once like you just a fool who thought the
Knew it all stumbling in the dark

You don't see a single thing I see, but still you go on like
An old man that's in need of someone to hold on
I'm a monster that's breaking through your mind, just don't
Resist and I will show you the light

I am not in the mood for foolish games
I won't wait 'til you say, I will strike you down and leave
You to meet with your fate beneath a blazing sky
Burning your eyes, hear the roaring high above
As you die

I shall cross your way as you fade away
Angel of light I'm laughing at your side
I foresee that day my righteous hate will
Decimatethe lies, my fight will shine

A dream, wide awake, it's caught me again
I'm here, but I fly with the wings of my mind

They say that you need but to ask and receive
These flames in my head melt the lead in my legs

I sleep and feel as my body fills the dreams
and once more I'm leaving your world

Each time I die my dream becomes alive
Each time I die I catch a glimpse of Hell and Paradise
Each time I seem to rise again, each time
I'm dragged back to life in this shell

Words from a secret sleep feed into my ears
I've a mind to try and shed some silver tears

No fear means no dreams or no simple it seems
It's so clear to me now I'm enthralled

And like a slave is bound in chains
So I am in dreams, if you freed me of them
I'd be lost, a hopeless fool

So you see; it's true, it's my dreams
That get me through and each day renews
The cycle from the start

Eternal the seas where I set my sails tonight
I drink the poison, dim the lights
And wait for the storm

Loathing your vacuous ways
The straight line of your brainwaves
No conscience, no interest, a mind made of mess
Passive reactions at best

Dead like a drone of the future unknown
A slave to ignoble domains
You want to know why I'm ignoring your lies?
The reason that I will not die?

I have more in my mind
Wake up and open your eyes
Take up your turn on the fringe of the world
Leave all the idols to burn
I have more in my own mind
I feel it extending through time
I'm taking my place where eternal jesters reign

Heavenly rays will light up my name
And no one shall stand in my way
Enter the core, I see so much more
and I know who I am
Into the sun, the fusion is done
My soul integrated and whole
Just go astray, your blundering ways
I have no more to say...

More in my mind and my soul...
Pleas open your eyes and your heart...

Pass through borders into east and you'll see the
Same old streets, sweeping winds into your eyes
Broken future, wasted lives, in the corner of that
Square, crumbling statues now lie there
Like those relics of the past all of us are now
Outcast

The time was on our side
When everyone had their place

Fly away - fly into a time gone by
Fly away - and you hope it will return

Once I had an open mind and time to understand
But every time I had to lie to serve the native
Land, while we try to justify the madness and
the wars, they will come with newer guns
And fewer ways to help the poor

Now the leaders come and go, they close up the
gates and doors we made, for one moment we
were free... Now our future bright is the past
and we close our minds to make them last
While waiting we bow our heads and pray...

Through your life you toiled the land and you
served the state with pride, now you're left with
empty hands and nobody by your side
"Everlasting peace awaits, a paradise with pearly gates",
so they told you all your days
Made your sacrifice your ways

The time was on your side
When everyone shared your fate

Fly away - fly into a time gone by
Fly away - and you hope it will return

Saints of the sun
In their journey back home
Whispering to me in their dreams
"The shadows of your sleep
- Tell us what they mean
and if we clear your view,
will you believe?"

Guided by the one
the One and Only Son
Interpreting his words to the world
Seeing in their mind
The fate of their own kind
They wonder where
Their place is on this earth

Reasons revealed
Now we know why they cried
Infraction revealed
Oh, we banished the light divine
The future is here
- I can see it all too clear
and it burns with the rays of the sun

Spirits high up there
Oh, listen to my prayer
Forgive me all this pride
Forgive me all my fear
Please let me see
And please sing through me
Show me where
My place is on this earth

Io and behold - yet another tale is told with me
This can never change all my thoughts
Left me stranded here alone they're all gone
A new disillusion in me: a stranger's illusion I
need I yearn to throw my disguise to unfold my
Deepest desires

But a voice says: "think what you do
better look 'fore you leap don't you know that
it's not real?"

I should blind my own eyes to the tempting lies
Or my lust will tear me apart stand near the ledge
of a bottomless pit do you dare?
Do you wanna know?
Reach to the end of the tunnel in your soul
Can you reach to me somehow?

Strangers inside my incandescent mind
Enticing my soul with your penetrating eyes
You gaze at the stars and wonder why you are
Another seeker - a bearer of light?

Oh yes, I know - they will never let me go
They wait for my last breath and while descending
to my final barbeque, I see you: in a veil
all-immersed in deceit with a righteous glow
Underneath you remind what you said all along
in the chorus of this song:

And she say: "Think what you do better look 'fore
you leap don't you know that it's not real?"

I should blind my own eyes to the tempting lies
Or my lust will tear me apart stand near the ledge
of a bottolmess pit do you dare?
Do you wanna know?
Reach to the end of the tunnel in your soul
Can you reach to me somehow?

I entered the world not like my own
A place for a cold, pale race, we walked through
An aisle - no gestures, no smiles
Barren and plain they were
What is this life? This stagnating hell
You might as well kill yourselves

I won't be sucked into this...
A mire of men who die, the mind of mortals true
Shackles you all...

I see people willing to lose wasting their chances
When they couldn't choose, why would you throw
it all away? Why would you play your life
like a game?

I shall live on, I'll always move on
I'm learning the secret signs, I know where I've
been, the things I have seen
Thus, I can still proceed, look at your lives
Dig deeper inside, who know what you will find?

And don't be sucked into this...
A mire of mine who die, the mind of mortals true
shackles you all...

I see people willing to lose, wasting
Their chances when they couldn't choose
Why would you throw it all away?
Why would you play your life like a game?

If you close your mind like a fool
There's no future or justice for you
Why would you throw it all away?
Why would you play your life like a game?

I wake in the darkness, no light by my side
I wake here amidst the trees to my own cry
A vision in my mind, a flash of crimson light
A projection of my fate, the reflection from the lake

There are no roses which outlive this cold
Or have you ever seen fresh petals on the snow?

Still in my dreams, through all the years
Piercing and powerful, this vivid sight appears:

She is not real, she never could be
I can't give a reason to why
She still haunts my sleep

Imagine the feeling, the breaking of the chains
So pure and playful, dancing in my veins

Fly from your hideout and meet the rising rays
Even to this darkness the Dawn still finds a way
In all these journeys through
Flooded fields and plains
We searched for the Lakeside,
the magic of this place

All my life - all my life
Iäve searched through all my life
the Lady of a Thousand Lakes is there
All this time - all this time
This time I've spent searching
the Lady of a Thousand Lakes was here

All is not given and she remains unique
Just like the World's Child - she could be in you
Thus, we dance on petals with
thorns stuck in our side
Could life be my wedding-day
This lady as my bride?

Cold day, a long away
You wake and say a morning prayer
Gods above, oh grant me your love
I'm lost, the gates are so far

Pray that the pain will be taken away
It's not the first time that you bowed your head
You're like the blind, cos' you see with your mind
You feel redemption is on the way

Then you shall see
You're still free
Scream to your enemies
Believe in your path
Climb up to the hill
See the sun

And hear the voice from your heart
See your place 'mong the stars
And the river that you cried
When she passed you by
Take one step through the gates
See your life rewinding to the start
As you begin your march

Be the best when you're cornered
By the foes who mock you endlessly
They'll meet their destiny with pitchforks up their
Not a nice penetration
When you fell the stage sensation
In the fiery, steaming pits of Hell
Those pikes are cold

And hear the voice from your heart
See your place 'mong the stars
And the river that you cried
When she passed you by
Take one step through the gates
See your life rewinding to the start
As you begin your march

Deep in the minds
Of the gods and the blind
An eternal flame
Will be lighted in your name
So farewell for this journey
Consumes your life and your soul
I'll see you then on the far side
When the march is done

And your soul's released
As you're watching the feast
Where angels of light
Are dancing with the beast
It's a wind, weird scene
Yes, It's hard to believe
But the good and bad
Are the same at last

And hear the voice from your heart
See your place 'mong the stars
And the river that you cried
When she passed you by
Take one step through the gates
See your life rewinding to the start
As you begin your march
