Idolam kwam creamus alimus, oramus
Ferimur simulacris fictis antiquis et futuris Omnia solent fieri Hoc tempore atque nunc et semper Fictie fallimur, non vivimus sine mora Elimina illecebras fugantes nos Vaca a timore et tempore Animam libera nunc Ut liberes te a tempore et abs timore Tu solus eo modo facturus et veritatem semper tuam 02. Edge Of The Blade Music by Isaac Delahaye Lyrics by Simone Simons
Time to break through the anger
Hunt down the remnants of the everlasting myth Incinerating hands that touched your graceful face In their mysterious ways The scorching scars have left an everlasting visual trace Now they're blinding and rewinding Time to break through the anger Hunt down the remnants of the everlasting myth Cherish your hunger for resentment and dismay And then come out to play Cascading colors meticulously all washed away Time for choosing not for losing Defying the fire reviving within Time to break through Your walls are soaring high They are disarranging The surface on which we build our own lie Time to break through the anger Hunt down the remnants of the everlasting myth Your wish for virtual perfection seems inane But try and you will evolve Your paragon possessed your inner self to no avail No more waiting, no debating Defying the fire reviving within Time to break through Your walls are soaring high They are disarranging The surface on which we build our own lie Don't throw your life away Remain the same Watch your back, now feel the heat You've fooled the world one more time And now that you've seen with open eyes All of us are incomplete It's time to break through Your walls are soaring high You can even try to Break through the perfect state of mind And now you break through You'll reach beyond the sky You should never ever build on the surface made of lies Time to break through the anger Hunt down the remnants of the everlasting myth 03. A Phantasmic Parade Music by Ariën van Weesenbeek Lyrics by Simons
Playing a million pictures in my mind
That travel at the speed of light Been living in a world turned inside out Diving through a sea that is profound Gracing the code above and tasting life The will options deciphered signs Believing worlds below that crushed mankind Breaking ground within the great design Do not try to defy creation See the world through the looking glass Within reach is a fading horizon, deep down the flames grow You may find you're hallucinating If reality is defied I can sense the eclipse is rising, showing the blood red moon This time your mind will find a virtual phantasmic parade It is a choice that is my own to make A free will to risk a leap of faith Is it my outcome that I will survive? Finding out my life has been a lie Do not try to defy creation See the world through the looking glass Within reach is a fading horizon, deep down the flames grow You may find you're hallucinating If reality is defied I can sense the eclipse is rising, showing the blood red moon This time your mind will find a virtual phantasmic parade Make believers Your divine machinery Not believing This will seal the deal Seize the liar Selling hollow prophecies Burn the hounds alive You can watch the world bow down to you Do not try to defy creation See the world through the looking glass Within reach is a fading horizon, deep down the flames grow You may find you're hallucinating If reality is defied I can sense the eclipse is rising, showing the blood red moon This time your mind will find a virtual phantasmic parade Do not try to defy creation See the world through the looking glass I live to not let go You may find you're hallucinating If reality is defied Behold the vertigo I won't let go This time your mind will find a virtual phantasmic parade Abandon fear give in before your mind can never escape 04. Universal Death Squad Music by Delahaye Lyrics by Jansen

Divide And Conquer Music & lyrics by Jansen
Divide and conquer
Show no mercy Defile the honor Sow discord amongst them all Crucify my faith We'll set the stage for the last play You will not hurt our pride nor break its strength Stirring up to hate You'll fail to practice what you preach Wake the force as we Won't let you crucify our ways Abomination Will enrage them Manipulation Is effective after all Justify yourself We cannot speak above our breath I read between these vast adorned lines Justify your acts The credulous will be our guests Wake the force as we Won't let you crush our self-respect Highfalutin weaponry You dictate your recipe for life Seek the mastermind The one who's always right We're searching now and endlessly to set us free Seek the mastermind There's no one you will find We have to find a way to change our destiny Hate and fear corroded all our hopes and dreams That's all we have achieved Divide and conquer Spread disease amongst them all Desecrate yourself Yet our duty will prevail You will not penetrate through massive shields Desecrate yourself We will harvest all we've sowed Wake the force as we Won't let you steal our own integrity Highfalutin weaponry You dictate your recipe with lies Seek the mastermind The one who's always right We're searching now and endlessly to set us free Seek the mastermind There's no one you will find We have to find a way to change our destiny Hate and fear corroded all our hopes and dreams That's all we have achieved Bleed from greed We'll succeed in our aim Force the spirit to its knees Dominate humanity Hold yourself accountable For the mess around us all Running blindly for the fall We are all responsible Seek the mastermind The one who's always right We're searching now and endlessly to set us free Seek the mastermind There's no one you will find On this quest without an end, eternally Hate and fear prevented us to reach What we truly are Nothing really is as it appears That's all we need to be Abomination Will arrange them manipulation Is effective Don't me merciful Seize them all 06. Beyond The Matrix Music by Delahaye Lyrics by Jansen
Shine through the sky
Beyond the matrix Feel what it's like To be divine Shine through the sky Beyond the matrix Feel what it's like To have attained Nirvana Shine past the sky Open your mind Then you will be Balanced and free Be the master over your own energy Live in this moment like there is no past All that matters is to be who you are Be in this moment. Judgments will not last Urge yourself again to claim back your life Take a leap into the dark Dare to dive and fall The point of no return restrains us Shine through the sky Beyond the matrix Feel what it's like To reach divinity Aim at the sky Open your mind Then you will be Balanced and free Be the master over your own energy Shake off oiled feathers, leave your past behind. Use your inner force to reach your true self When there's no future you can't be occupied By non-essential waste and ruins of the past Recreate your hologram Dare to dive and fall The point of no return restrains us Shine through the sky Beyond the matrix Feel what it's like To have attained Nirvana Shine past the sky Open your mind Then you will be Balanced and free Be the master over your own energy Someday you'll open up again To learn and grow Someday you'll have to reach for new endeavors To perceive your inner self Perceive your soul Someday you'll start to live your life Responding with anger Responding with peace The choice is all mine It's a small lie for a man but a giant blow for mankind We are almighty now We have found the alchemy of life We are all dominant here We are the force in control Shine through the sky Beyond the matrix Feel what it's like To reach divinity Aim at the sky Open your mind Then you will be Balanced and free Be the master over your life Stay in charge, maintain your duty Dive into the sea of pure tranquility We will be finally free 07. Once Upon A Nightmare Music by Janssen Lyrics by Simons
On the way to sacred shores
And in the arms of the life that we adore Moonlight shows a white design That's been waiting for a chance to seize a soul once more Sweet lad, o come and join me, do! Such pretty games I will play with you On a road Changing course Lightning strikes where we depart An eerie voice as the night embrace the heart Resonating from the life that is moving on To new windows of the soul Will you, sweet lad, come along with me? My daughters shall care for you tenderly Hear his mystic voice I love you, your comeliness charms me, my boy! And if you're not willing, my force I'll employ He feeds on stainless souls We are stuck in the night Ancient power will strike Feel the fire Now run into his arms Leave your shelter behind We are going to fly Higher than high We will take on the sky Feel my senses United by the night Now it's time to close the door And open up like before New windows of the soul The silence of the void A father's life destroyed Stuck in the night Ancient power will strike Feel the fire Burn inside Run into my arms Leave your shelter behind We're going to fly See us fly And hear our cry We're out of sight Higher than high we will Take on the sky Feel my senses Out of my sight But live on in my mind New windows of our soul 08. The Cosmic Algorithm Music by Delahaye Lyrics by Jansen
We cannot be free until wee see
All that we are Cosmic math Don't fear death Since we can't die Make use of a computation Tap into the digits to write A set of rules to form the universe Find me the reason Why are we here Find the answers in these digitalized times How do we reason? In data we trust Let us focus on the biggest sums of life It's now a matter of life and math Find the true reason What do we fear? Find the answer why we're deaf while we can hear How do we reason? What do we miss? Find the reason why we're blind while we can see We're cosmic math Make use of a computation Tap into the digits to write A set of rules to form the universe Center your inside Due to new insights Everything seems possible Clear the confusion Lift the veil of illusion Don't give up our quest Our quest for life Ask yourself Why are we here? Find new answers in the quantum gravity Unravel the meaning For in math we trust Let us dream of how to crack the cosmic code We're cosmic math Make use of a computation Tap into the digits to write A set of rules to form the universe Center your inside Due to new insights Everything seems possible Clear the confusion Lift the veil of illusion Don't give up our quest Our quest for life We don't fear death Since we can't die Arouse our curiosity Deep down the rabbit hole Center your inside Due to new insights Everything seems possible Clear the confusion Lift the veil of illusion Don't give up our quest Follow our instinct Or we'll become extinct Everything seems logical Our only salvation Lies within computation Don't give up our quest Our quest for life 09. Ascension - Dream State Armageddon Music by Rob van der Loo Lyrics by Jansen
Inhale the strength to play
Blow barricades away This universe implodes Reality unloads Find yourself a thousand worlds Pick the one that suits you most Will a choice put you at ease? Than grab your chance to slay the beast Keep searching for your destiny And you will find all that will set your free Keep moving onwards endlessly To evolve and become on One piece The universe implodes When our dream state explodes Find yourself dreaming your life Do you truly feel alive? Comprehend the sacred code That makes your universe implodes Keep searching for your destiny And you will find all that will set your free Keep moving on wards endlessly To evolve and become on Our ego will lead us to endless penance This journey shall wake us don't dream forever The Matrix of reality transforms the cosmic energy Our ego won't spare us these endless failures This journey will guide us don't dream forever Rise Nothing appears to be what it really is as we believe in the illusions Free yourself from walking in circles This will be the end of the world as we know it Your ascension will begin Keep searching for your destiny And you will find all that will set your free Keep searching for your legacy And you will find all answers undoubtedly Keep looking forwards endlessly To evolve and unite the world to become one piece 10. Dancing In A Hurricane Music by Janssen Lyrics by Simons
We are force to live in silence
Eating dust and breathing violence Keeping all the suffering within Let me be the one to hold you Trying hard, remaining hopeful Making sure your heart is free of sin In mother's scorn Blood was born Where we belong Our nation's torn Passage gone A war unknown to us all Waiting to see your conviction Swallowing proud premonitions Clinging onto hope that slowly dies Standing in the ruing of nature Caused by forces born from danger Cleaning hands where virtues live on ice In mother's scorn Blood was born A war unknown to us all See the rays of light dance in hurricanes The essence of our life held within cruel chains Come and see the day's unsolved history The mirrors in the eyes are reflecting the fear We can't hide cruel commands We will see their last stand From the heart where we belong Forever blind to the wasteland beyond Find security In this misery Build a world of death Hear the fallen prey In the fire we've ignited thoughts of slaying dreams In the ashes evil is reborn Your mortality Is the highest prize Your mind's intricate In a labyrinth turned inside out In mother's scorn Blood was born Where we belong Our nation's torn Passage gone A war unknown to us all See the rays of light dance in hurricanes The essence of our life held within cruel chains Come and see the day's unsolved history The mirrors in the eyes are reflecting the fear See the sands of time play with prophecies We always end up losing to life's guarantee Barren promises feed on your demise The challenge to be free is a lost enterprise We can't hide cruel commands We will see their last stand From the heart where we belong Yet we all know why the cruel commandments came along Forever blind to the wasteland beyond 11. Tear Down Your Walls Music & lyrics by Jansen
Retrieve your sight
Dazed by beliefs You will not reach your shielded mind Regain the light That once burned inside Don't feed the shadows of your mind Tear down your walls Push your prejudice aside Burn trees of hate down to the ground Tear them down Don't await a miracle, turn aims into action Seek what's right We're keepers of the sacred laws, for nothing Escapes our sight Utinan temptes consentire cum cornice Eam adspecta ad res divinas evola Duobus locis in mente aderis Retrieve your sight As dazed by fear You will dismiss your inner guide Open the gate For the prosecution Sentence your inner fear to death Tear down your walls Push your bias to the side Burn trees of hate down to the ground Tear them down Don't await a miracle, turn aims into action Seek what's right We're keepers of the sacred laws, for nothing escapes our sight Utinan temptes consentire cum cornice Eam adspecta ad res divinas evola Duobus locis in mente aderis Align with me Melt light with darkness Make sure you won't die in the harness Do not fear the desire to leave your cage When the path is not so clear Walk without fear Trust in your guide Fly with me We dominate illusions, we're bending the whole truth To show what's right We're masters of the universe, the outcome is in our might Utinan temptes consentire cum cornice Eam adspecta ad res divinas evola Alternam formam corporis adsume Tear down your walls 12. The Holographic Principle - A Profound Understanding Of Reality Music & lyrics by Jansen
Discemus gubernaculum esse movendum
Quod verum putaver am esse particulam Pro viribus agendum est Vim totam adhibebimus Ad haec nos paremus Our brave soul is crying Our soul is lost Our brave is dying Our soul is lost We don't know how we can Decode this anagram We have lost our true selves Within this hologram Nothing is what it seems Our soul is lost We challenge illusions Created by us all Cube sphere Wipe all the dust from your eyes Burn your lies Dare to trash your own paradise Doubt your eyes We challenge illusions Created by us all Learn to trust your senses deep within And see with all the beauty of your soul Shine down all your precious light on me I'll wake you in reality again Be free of fear Open up your heart, make a whole new start Free from the past Your future is convertible Now embrace the holographic principle Only you is what you'll be All you are is what you see On the other side it's me If you turn around You'll see I am here Only you is what you'll be Now break out and we'll be free Leave dubiety behind and dive into eternal light Merge with all the energy around Immerse yourself in seas of futile wishes Do not try to judge your universe Let purity reverse your sacred curse Be free of fear Open up your heart, make a whole new star Free from the past Your demons seem invincible Now embrace the holographic principle Only you is what you'll be All you are is what you see On the other side it's me If you turn around You'll see I am here Only you is what you'll be Now break out and we'll be free Leave dubiety behind and dive into eternal light You become what you focus on Don't shift the blame to the world It will raise vexation It can cause your death and our defeat Run from illusions Reality, it is a choice Be sure to choose well Run from delusions Go to the root, find out who you are You become what you're aiming at Don't shift the blame to the world It will raise resentment Check your ego, lose your hologram Your illusion Feeds your eyes This deception Writes your life Your truth's a lie Watch for illusions Rapacity, an empty shell That suits no one well Watch for delusions Let life just rain all its sparks on you Venenum invasit sanguinem et venas Iniectum damnosis cogitatis tuis Non morbum transferunt in te res humanae Sed pavor, internus te infirmat prorsus Your illusion Lies in ruins This deception Won't survive Take back control Discemus gubernaculum esse movendum Ad haec nos paremus tota vi Discemus gubernaculum esse movendum Quod verum putaveram esse particulam Pro viribus agendum est 13.

Wander, there's no return
Keep moving on as the paradise burns Leaving your trace in the sand Harbor my soul for the final descent Feeling alive, we are free in the silence We have lived our lives, no hope in your eyes to find Join me, come join me Dancing in melancholy Join me, won't you join me Enter this chapter, infinitely Choosing to give in to fate Standing together as death allocates Sorrow evaporates Now our ties are an endless embrace Join me, come join me Dancing in melancholy Join me, won't you join me Enter this chapter, infinitely A union in life, breathing silence together Walking the stairs that have led us this way Thinking of how to return to the page Now that our times run out 16.
