Dominus sum rerum gestarum mearum
Heresque sum rerum omnium a me gestarum Ortus ex Natus ex Meis factis Sum coniunctus cum meis gestis Meis gestis sum affirmatus Tale monacho revolvendum est Adiutus his vivo 02. Monopoly On Truth Music by Isaac Delahaye, Mark Jansen, Simone Simons Lyrics by Mark Jansen, Simone Simons
Nos docti, pensantes
Sed non semper veridici At the zenith of wisdom No defying myself To the point of reaction You propose and I dispose I see what you mean It's clear, what you say The truth isn't just a derivative of your views Truth is a fiction of your views These are my thoughts No discussion My righteous plan Just think it over now Another point of view It's time we realize our errs Where is it leading to if nobody sees it There's never an absolute Nos docti Sed non semper veridici I can be so enchanting With words beset in gold Your senseless demanding You propose and I dispose This is the way No discussion In my life You're in denial Can we trust all the facts and believe that the fancied wise are just and needed? Do we want to rely on the views of the righteous ones who are succeeding? If you look all around and you see all the things that are not meant to be Then you know it's time to let them go Your fury can no longer stand This hauteur will come to an end Looking for leftover friends is in vain You'll be alone again No more refusal Face it, slow down It is time for renewal And expect no miracles Expect no miracles when you're in an endless fall No regrets if you're leaving You're a true deceiver Accept the here and now Or regret will end up... Mask of justice, shield of menacing strength Will not bend, only break Can't we respect, can't we neglect No respecting so neglecting Those who are suffering in need of help? Those who suffer, needing our help You are the one I wouldn't like to become You are not one I would like to become Not at all in the end Hear our calling Carry me slowly In the depths of your life Fear the thunder Free me from barren fields And grey thunder lies Semblance falling Under that grand façade The truth loves to hide Can we trust all the facts And believe that the fancied wise Are just and needed? Do we want to rely on the views Of the righteous ones who are succeeding? If you look all around and you see All the things that are not meant to be Then you know it's time to let them go To let them go Nos docti Sed plus scimus Non spernentes Quod dicunt alii 03. Storm The Sorrow Music by Coen Janssen, Simone Simons Lyrics by Simone Simons
Along the way I find myself to be confined within me
No place for any other's mind to interfere To grasp the meaning of it all, to overcome my limits And dance away from any void and empty tones Just tell me why Just tell me how I can survive this time Believe yourself and look away from all that's right within you Leave all your worries at the door and drift away I've tried to peer into the core but could not storm the sorrow My hollow heart has bled me dry, left me to stray Another time Without a trace Condemn me now Send me to hell for I'm already failing Intertwine the lines that swim beneath the dark Realize the pain we live in Demonize the need we reel in No, in my memories I'll dig deep enough to know Centuries of dreams unending Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed No time should ever go to waste, it's not that complicated You're free to live your life at ease, no more restraints No need for shadows on your way that try to steal your laughter Your light will drive them all away, be confident Will I refrain? Can I repent? Will you be there? Erase the page for I'm alone and ailing So - This is my life And it can't break me down Go - I will decide Who can come in And heal my disease Burn it - In flames Kill it - And maim Why can't you see that you need to be freed Intertwine the lines beneath the dark Every bit of pain we're feeling Every other solemn life No, in the memories you will find somehow There used to be a dream unending No more need to be alone 04. Delirium Music by Coen Janssen, Isaac Delahaye, Simone Simons Lyrics by Simone Simons
Black was the night when I did surrender
I did give in to my weakening sight Now that I'm empty my dreams once were many Soul's bitter cry to unleash the divine When you think there's no way out And all you see collides Hope will in the end chase all your fears away Fighting the source was not recommended Trails of a wish were the hope to survive Skins full ablazing release crystal gazing All of it led to a deeper demise When you think there's no way out And no one comprehends Hope will show your smile again What I left behind Another night Of weary dreams, unravelling What's been left behind Another time Where days of late are far away Far away Losing my reasons, No lies to believe in Left the obscure to The means of escape Core has been shaken, There is no more pain to break me Time has commenced and I long to awake When you think there's no way out Leave everything behind You can live your life anew Dark days behind me Won't ever break me now All that I left behind Another night Of weary dreams, unravelling What's been left behind Another time Where days of late are far away Far away Just another night In another time 05. Internal Warfare Music by Mark Jansen, Isaac Delahaye, Coen Janssen Lyrics by Simone Simons
Would anybody dare to know the answer?
Would anybody dare to face the truth? We bide the time awaiting our answers To our kind We're all in this apocalypse together The horror we so feared can't be undone We all remove allegiance to disaster Tragic crime Life we used to know Ends where silence comes to us forever Night will soon bestow Justice on a day that never ends The piercing eyes of bullets' shine run faster Than peace and understanding can conceive To use and to deceive to teach a lesson Cross the line I'm a true believer A soldier with a gun I shall swipe the earth clean Won't take long Te deplangemus - Haud resistentes - A te vexati - Manebimus I must trust my instinct And act on his behalf My ship is full with water But won't go down 06. Requiem For The Indifferent Music by Mark Jansen, Isaac Delahaye Lyrics by Mark Jansen
When silence betrays
We've tried to find a reason To go on and cross the line Tell me How can we justify the act We've tried to look around and Search for ways to shift the blame The escape From moral sense we drift away When we can't have it all We want it all With money segregating The centers are degrading The devastation We feared we'd befall But soon we'll realize that We can get reunited This could apply to us all, after all We'll never find our peace of mind If we won't leave the past behind Make up your mind When silence betrays We spilled the tears for wretches And for human sacrifice Look at them We've pushed them through the tiny holes Yet still we know we're all Responsible Counting down The road to perdition Driving fast and without vision Parva notes circum te Incorrupta nitidaque Vide, gusta, senti, bibe Formam ex eis captes We're failing we're ailing Collapse is now drawing nearer Derailing, the end is nigh Uravelled, dishevelled The answer's never been clearer Unlevelled we're standing by When we finally find the reason to exist We will be able to appreciate the fundamental gifts Drown, bury, erase All that is dividing us Down, parry, negate All that's keeping us from growth Feel the energy enclosed within us Try to keep on searching for the meaning of our lives Find the only values that can help us in our strife Keep on searching and be ready when the tides are high Try to find the philosopher deep within you Trigger and motivate all that matters along your way Seek and find the answers Wake up your troubled mind 07.

08. Guilty Demeanor Music & lyrics by Mark Jansen
Whenever stories are prescribed
That we could never obelise Then how could anyone supply a doubt? I take you at your word But the tale could have a flaw And if you find yourself in awe Then you'll only hunger for the truth Veritas numquam vincitur ipsa Ne quae dicuntur imprudenter credas When I'm crucified, taunted and denied I'll stand strong, with my back against the wall At times it seems so very hard All that we learned we must discard That everyone you'd ever trust Has lied When I'm crucified, haunted and defied I belong to the few that died for all You cannot question or defy Or you'll find out the hard way why You'd better run before you walk alone Veritas numquam vincitur ipsa Ne quae dicuntur imprudenter credas Sed tua teneas 09. Deep Water Horizon Music by Mark Jansen, Isaac Delahaye, Coen Janssen Lyrics by Simone Simons
We have to wait
For a dying day Full of black decay We'll find a way To become aware Breathing tainted air We change the lanes Every second of our lives Lost in our minds We'll taste the water's brine All for the silver shine Can't stay the same Should end this bloody game Bare in the venom rain To fuel the greed to feed the hungered has its price There's the feeling once again The day where black and white began Await the ending of our everlasting violence We've all been healing from the pain From all the misery and constraint We're inhaling fumes again So don't deny it Lies will unwind The verity you'll find Upon the moor resigned Primary gain Comes with a thousand slain All for the greater vain Without the horror causing hazard, we'll survive Whatever lies ahead We will face tomorrow When every all delusions end All of this was foreseen Give in Have to break the chain of grief You Born to be free You decide All are free Time to change Nothing or all The clock is racing on The pace is very strong Our borrowed time is gone The dawn of sharing all our powers has arrived We're all inhaling fumes again And there the black and white will end 10. Stay The Course Music by Mark Jansen, Isaac Delahaye, Simone Simons Lyrics by Mark Jansen
Stay the course
Unregarded what the others think Follow through your goals Stay the course Be impassive what all the others want Go your own way Stand focused, stay strong Stay the course And regardless what the critics say Seek your golden road Stay the course Be hard and fast Reach out, achieve your goals Chase your own dreams Stay faithful, prolong Veils that cover the sacred treasures That no one dares imbibe Those proclaiming different views Were long ago proscribed I should warn you, it's deadly to abide Instead I taught you to bow and toe the line Fear is what you breathe Disagree Guidance what you need For all the chances you will never see Trust in me Notice the anomalies Erase them from your memory Fight dismay Deny the disarray Just keep them far away from you and fight With all your might Stay the course Show no remorse Terminate all that deters I should warn you to never compromise Instead I want you believing the disguise 11. Deter The Tyrant Music by Isaac Delahaye, Mark Jansen Lyrics by Mark Jansen
Shield the monocrat and
Better fulfill his needs and wield his sordid means Thank you for all, torture and maul Which only keep it running We condemn disruption We should fight for liberation now Liberate us now Breed the egoist and Give him then all he needs and feed his vicious greed Than you, we call for chaos And leave us all alone, resigned We condemn corruption We should fight for abdication now Abdicate us now When an action bids retraction to begin You will feel what it's like to suffer for your sins We will commence Yield the ruffian then Give him the gall that he needs and field his children now For they'll recall, once and for all This farce is everlasting We condemn suppression We should fight this aberration now Fight suppression now When an action bids retraction to begin You will feel what it's like to suffer for your sins Temptation has destroyed so many brilliant minds Fate pays the deviant with agony in kind The lies you've spread For blood you've shed You'll have to justify Enslaved to reign Heartless, insane You'll have to pay the price Words fail now The truth is hard to comprehend Vile secrets were kept in the dark Avoiding social unrest Wild efforts to gag dissidents Will ever fail in the end We condemn aggression We could find our destination now Find it here somehow We will commence Your chance is now 12. Avalanche Music by Mark Jansen, Isaac Delahaye, Simone Simons Lyrics by Simone Simons
Feels like living in a dream
From which I cannot wake Voices leading me astray, Cannot hide Feels like I am growing weaker I can't deny Whatever's hurting me Won't leave me Here at ease And I can see your secrecy Has gone away In another time You left me For someone else Who'd serve your every need And set your World apart The strain is now Unbearable, Turned me To stone For all the hardship in my way Hold on, move on Hear me! How hide your face while you carry on 'till the grief comes Save your soul from the downfall To give and take was not an option You had to run and sweep it all away Leave not a heart to mend That day I cast so far behind, I'm moving on For all the stones thrown in my face Hold on, move on See me! Now hide your face while You carry on 'till the grief comes Save your soul from the downfall Feels like living in a dream from which I cannot wake I don't wanna hide They are tearing me apart You cannot pray for laughter You cannot wake Degenerate the love and hate We should always ever keep in mind Our tragedy's not far behind Kneeling in disaster Through all the doubt I can't allay Hold on, move on Now As it was meant to be Suffering's a travesty Obliterate our past mistakes We should never lose sight or we'll find A travesty renewed in time Chasing ever faster Feels like living in a dream from which I cannot wake I don't wanna hide They are tearing me apart You cannot pray for laughter I cannot decide I cannot wake I cannot pray Feels like living in a dream From which I cannot wake Voices leading me astray Cannot pray 13. Serenade Of Self-Destruction Music by Mark Jansen, Isaac Delahaye, Coen Janssen Lyrics by Simone Simons
Never could we see
What lies deeper Seeming that our view Can't be changed Deciding where to go And believe in your disaster Deleting a future untold This is the final deceiver This is the devil in me Expecting deeds in the manking Will show no final relief Ever would we dance With the reaper Seething in a monstrous cage Ideas meant to placate When meeting your disaster Are only for a desperate fool Destructive thoughts to mislead us Can come from deep underground Believing sources unbroken Will tear the legion apart Will we be forever free as we unchain our souls From life forever You are just a slave to the dust Another time, where you and me will be freed With one more last endeavour You cannot escape your fate now No Try me, don't deny me Please embrace me in your peace I want to fly into the bright Would you please guide my last goodbye Why won't you lie with me, my light's ending On a night when I find, I'll take my final flight Now come and see divinity where night turns day So far away from heaven You will never earn my trust Provoke the need, give word to deed, And dive into another god-like atmosphere You will never find your way out No I'd rather die Than breathe in my shame They'll know my name All hell in flames For our faith We proudly die For it we would die For our sovereign All hell wil arise Hell will surely rise We'll serve our cause In earning reward Earning our reward Collision of skies The ocean wept dry Every ocean dry Another's desperation flying through the emptiness As my degradation throws me out the of line Take the final flight Into the serenade forever lost in time 14. Nostalgia Music & lyrics by Mark Jansen
Dying slowly, all alone
Hope is gone, the seeds were sown Another day without a touch Another dawn with only dusk But sometimes it rewinds me To the bliss of languid dreams To my precious memories To the mysteries of all I'd never seen Dying slowly day by day And every colour fades to gray I walk the walls of Hell's abyss With every trail, I will persist Why can't you hear me? Release me I'm forgotten and buried And sometimes it rewinds me to The innocence that pulls me through And sometimes it rewinds me To the place where the fire's burning And sometimes I can daydream That I'm free But it's just a reverie 15. Twin Flames Music & lyrics by Mark Jansen
You're eternal, my love
For me, you're all there ever was Every limit overcome As we're entangled, we are one Words are left unsaid burning in my head Now I only wish I could hold you again Being there with you I feel at ease Being there with you is all I ever need My one belief We share a common energy I've flown afar beyond the sea To find the other side of me I've waited long and patiently To find the one to balance me To live without dubiety This is my covenant to thee Life feels empty, my love It pains me so to give you up Sentiments untold never to unfold Now I only wish I could hold you again Being there with you I'm whole again Being there with you is all Ever need, my one belief You're all I need My one belief The winds of time will carry me To live without dubiety Don't let this ever end We've flown afar Beyond the sea To find each other finally We've waited long and patiently To build a bridge between dualities |
