2. Still Alive

Hear us call, need an answer now !
You might find it beyond...
"No one's beyond, we killed our gods"
So the answer is lost...
What are we here for?
Hoping for a piece of paradise
Praying...kneeling...

"For the time has come"
To open our eyes!
Free our mind
And scream!

Look!
We're living like dogs
We crawl, our values were sold
Slavery : that the price we're gonna pay
Our power...wasted

"For the time has come"
To build a new world,
Free our mind
And scream!

As I know the truth, I won't be saved
Then I won't be damned
I'm my own master I'll never accept to surrender
In the depths of my head
Always proud,
A voice is still screaming
I'm still alive

3. It's Time

Alienation - lost control
Paranoia - is the cage close now?

In a cold cell- I am trapped in the mirror
Insane again - will my mind explode?

Now it's time to face
The shadows - they dance in my head
It's time to conquer my land
It's time - I wonder
If I can escape from myself?
I'm still blind, trapped in my mind
Forever

In the shadows of my soul
Demons laughing
Let me sleep!

In a cold cell- I am trapped in the mirror
Insane again - will my mind explode?

Now it's time to face
The shadows - they dance in my head
It's time to conquer my land
It's time - I wonder
If I can escape from myself?
I'm still blind, trapped in my mind
Forever

4. Up To Heaven's Gate

Warrior's pride in God's service
My sword for the Almighty's voice
Fighting and winning, I proved my faith
Quickly my prayers disappeared
Blackened by bones and flesh and blood
To Hell my soul was quickly driven

Then my soul was set a seal on
Forced to take the oath with Satan
"Seek the Grail!", the cup of wonders
To save my soul I had to find
The divine cure for our world's pain
Oh God my quest had to reach an aim!

I was not alone, got a friend by my side
From the land of damnation we came

Up to Heaven's gate we shall ride
We may find an answer for all
Now we won't be your slave at all
Salvation, damnation:
A game we won't play
No more

I was not alone, got a friend by my side
From the land of damnation we came

Up to Heaven's gate we shall ride
We may find an answer for all
Now we won't be your slave at all
Salvation, damnation:
A game we won't play
No more!

5. Hold On To Your Dreams

Chasing whispers
The shadows belong to my mind
They shattered my dreams
Now boy, the time has come,
Worry about your fate!
Watch out I'm here
Answers aren't to be found
In this world of lies
Just look at the children cry!
The dark of the night is fading out

...Sow my little creatures misery...
I've got them in mind to spread
Reality is more than what you see

I say and I swear
So count on me
I tell I swear
So now trust me

Chasing whispers
Destroying our glance on real world
I've done it and taste the blood
But still I'm dreaming
A phoenix being reborn again...
Day by day
I hold on to my dreams and someday
I may reach my promised land

I say and I swear
So count on me
I tell I swear
So now trust me

Chasing whispers
Destroying our glance on real world
I've done it and taste the blood
But still I'm dreaming
A phoenix being reborn again...
Day by day
I hold on to my dreams and someday
I may reach my promised land

6. A Meeting In The Mist

Walking obscure paths
My mind's summoning shadows from the past
They dance before my eyes
I know faces, but they fade away,
Ethereal misty ballet
The haze of time's on me

And I listen to a voice in the air
With tears I am singing
Will the mist fall away with the tide?
Will the light shine again?

I dream
I have never thought it once could have been real
It comes closer, sweet...
A silhouette rising up
An invisible presence so now appears...

I try to find this instant again
When a face and a smile pierced the haze
The meeting remains my sweetest dream
But still it's escaping in the wind, hanging on the wave
My glance is lost, hanging on nowhere
I'm sitting on the stone? Waiting for an answer

And I listen to a voice in the air
It sings with tears of despairs
Will the light shine again on my path?
Will the memories fall with the tide?

Dream...
I have never thought it once could have been real
It comes closer, sweet...
A silhouette rising up
An invisible presence so now appears...
I see...
Can I feel it through the clouds? It appears...
So deeply, in my heart
I'm diving, and then the spell sets me free

7. Passage

I wait in silence...
Fire burns inside my empty soul
Pain is all that remains
Now I think
Once I was younger and stronger

The skies are open wide
I feel I get weaker
The skies are open wide
I reach the end of my life

Hear! There are voices beyond
(I'm deaf and those voices are silent)
I'll fight and survive!
Standing with pride
I'll look at your eyes
I'm not an easy prey
Every night, I can feel your presence in the darkest light

A shade in my mind
A shade on my mind
The skies are open wide
I reach the end of my life

Brave and proud I'm waiting for you
My thoughts are heading for your call
Will you miss the place the hours?
(to) Guide me through this passage unknown?

The skies are open wide
I feel I get weaker
The skies are open wide
I reach the end of my life

Brave and proud I'm waiting for you
My thoughts are heading for your call
Will you miss the place the hours?
(to) Guide me through this passage unknown?

8. Empty Skies

Screamin' out the pain
Shouting to the skies above
I find no reason for it all
As a nightmare it will come
And close your eyes
Leave your heart behind
Can't look back at all

And you can deny the call
The time has come
Be shunt to another life

My soul now will return to higher paths
My eyes will cry no more
A figure through the darkness guides me to my home

As I'm looking through your eyes
There's something more
Oh, you're praying for a dawn in winter's fog
A brighter light that comes and solves the fear
So let's live your world

Too hard to face the end of higher art
Your soul may reach no heaven
Too late to look inside for reason why
You have lived

Have I been dreaming and fighting in vain?
I feel myself in a void with no sense
I had the power to talk with my heart
It gives me the wings of a god
As I point my eyes on my soul
What I see destroys my memories
Maybe the skies are getting cold
I fade in the distance, fade in the distance

I dream, I swear
I've seen only what they taught me
I dream, I swear
I got the power inside

Have I been dreaming and fighting in vain?
I feel myself in a void with no sense
I had the power to talk with my heart
It gives me the wings of a god
As I point my eyes on my soul
What I see destroys my memories
Maybe the skies are getting cold
I fade in the distance, fade in the distance

9. Nameless Son

[Chapter I - The Awakening]

Falling...
Dreaming...
Forever illusions...
A nameless son...

[Chapter II - The Falling Star]

I smile at the rising sun
It fills my heart with fire
I touch the green leaves
Oh, They're thinking about me
Clouds are opening now
To let my lungs breathe light
T feel the night is coming, bright

The falling star crosses the dark with my dreams on the top

The world's in my hand
Just with power of mind

Falling, crawling
It's falling, another dream when I found out
The world is just a place
Where animals try to survive
Dead nature to my eyes
A veil is hiding my light
Or is it a fault, forever illusions?
Forever shall I be
A nameless son?...

I woke with shadow, darkness
I felt the useless sense of my life
The falling stars crashed to the ground with my dreams on the top
The world in my hand, just with fear that the void is true

Falling, crawling
It's falling, another dream when I found out
The world is just a place
Where animals try to survive
Dead nature to my eyes
A veil is hiding my light
Or is it a fault, forever illusions?
Forever shall I be
A nameless son?...

Live, fight, kill
I try to survive
Cheat, steal, win
Show your strength

"Sometimes I dream of a Utopian mankind
Coming from the same place - lasting forever"

[Chapter III - Visions and Doubt]

She smiles in peace of hope
Sitting on that stone
There by the shore
Dance her notes across the water
Suspended on a breath of air fly on
They come to the ears of the snake

Crawling on the friend snake
Biting on her neck the faithful lady
Behind her eyes the sun's still shining
Joyful and magical as before

As in your eyes!

So many times I have dreamed of a sphere
The whole infinite I found just by looking through your eyes
Could it be just fear of nonsense
A dream of omnipotence
Now I'm gonna open that door
Soon, the time will come to know
Maybe we'll return

I have fallen on my knees
Have fallen another dream when I have found
An empty door I would have opened...
Dead nature to my eyes
A veil is hiding my light
Or is it a fault, forever?
Forever shall I be a nameless son?...

Falling, crawling
It's falling, another dream when I found out
The world is just a place
Where animals try to survive
Dead nature to my eyes
A veil is hiding my light
Or is it a fault, forever illusions?
Forever shall I be
A nameless son?...
