ARTIZAN LYRICS

1. Coming Of Age

[Instrumental]

2. Summon The Gods

Mother Earth fight to breathe
Terra Firma is ripe with disease
Rape the land pollute the sea
Her blood runs black

Feel her spirit beneath our feet
Writhing in pain the more we deplete
Shock waves form to sound the alarm
She will strike back

Light shot into space
Bright as the sun
Calling them home
When the world is in danger
They will come

Rising from the sand
Tomb for a king who was never discovered
Built by foreign hands
Chambers that sing with the cries of our mother
Energy deep within
Surging with power that burns to escape
Cleanse us of our sins
We can summon the gods with the light of the pyramid

Follow your heart
Learn to embrace the dark

Light shot into space
Bright as the sun
Calling them home
When the world is in danger

Rising from the sand
Tomb built for a king
Shaped by foreign hands
Chamber golden sing

Power deep within
Yearning to escape
We can summon the gods
Her pain transcribed in light

3. Hopeful Eyes

Unravel the mystery
Are we alone?
As far as the eye can see
And beyond our limitations

Can a ravaged Earth survive?
Will harmony prevail?
Change greets an open mind
Hopeful eyes will look to the horizon
We’ll find our way on the horizon
And we await their arrival from the stars

They travel the endless sea
To reach a world in danger
Restoring hope and peace
The intergalactic savior

Man is testing the grand design
Our greatest feat could be our failure
We are living on borrowed time
Hopeful eyes will look to the horizon
We’ll find our way to the horizon
There’s a new day on the horizon
And we await their arrival from the stars

An urgent message sent through space
Destiny unknown
Soon the receiver will awake
And make the journey home

They are the Keepers of the human race
Setting a course for the Milky Way
An ancient starship comes to life
Heading for Earth at the speed of light

And when the starships cross the sky
Only the dreamers get to ride
Is there time to change our ways?
Is it too late for the arrival?

And when the starships cross the sky
Only the dreamers get to ride
Is there time to change our ways?
Is it too late for the arrival?
Can they save Mankind?

4. The Furthest Reaches

If you believe in a lonely existence
Transcend your state of mind
There’s a star shining bright in the distance
Rising high over sentient skies

We are not all alone
We are crossing the great divide

Alone the Nile the angels descended
Cosmic stewards brought our visions to life
Erecting structures far beyond comprehension
The stones were set when we were left behind

The day will come when we will see
The ones who ride the golden chariot
Returning home with sadness in their eyes
They’ll set the world on fire

Explore the furthest reaches
The deepest dark of space
Explore the furthest reaches
Where dreams of light are made

Voices still echo through the halls
In the greatest monument of the three
Messages inscribed on the walls
Reveal an ancient prophecy

Explore the furthest reaches
The deepest dark of space
Explore the furthest reaches
Where dreams of light are made

Explore the furthest reaches
The deepest dark of space
Explore the furthest reaches
Where dreams of light are made

Created as a summoning device
The Seventh Wonder stand forever tall
Activate the powers deep inside
And wake the Keepers with this call
Explore the furthest reaches

They’re coming home
From far across the sea
They’re coming home
Awakened from their dreams

We are not all alone
We are crossing the great divide

Who’s to blame?
We lost our way
Broken is the rhythm of life
Fear the flame, soon we’ll pay
Glowing like the embers – so bright, so bright
And the world will keep on turning
While we’re burning through the night
And we thought that they would save us

We are not all alone
We are crossing the great divide

They’re coming home
From far across the sea
They’re coming home
Awakened from their dreams

5. The Cleansing

(The Keepers)
We’ve returned, awakened by the light
We can feel her cries
You should see what’s become of your world
Take a look through our eyes
An infectious disease out of control
Now you’ll be cleansed by the fire

They have returned
The ones we hold divine
Awakened from a slumber eternal
Now we shall burn
Feeding their fire
Fueling a raging inferno
Showers of flames
Ignite the crimson sky
Witness untamable power
Few will remain
Defenders of the mind
This will be man’s darkest hour
The truth is coming emblazoned in gold
There’s no deliverance
We reap what we sow

Oh, we called the savior
Now we’ll be cleansed by the fire
Oh, redeem our failures
Now we’ll be cleansed by the fire

Sources draining
No sustaining the life
While we’re dreaming the Earth is screaming
But no one hear her cries
Don’t be deceived by a heart that still beats
When the spirit has long expired
Why, oh why?

(The Keepers)
We gave you the technology to prosper
A chance to advance your race
Individual opulence has prevailed
over symbiotic harmony
Earth’s delicate balance has been threatened
She is infected
Her cries fall upon deaf ears
You turn a blind eye to the warnings
Although your hearts beat
Your spirit for life has long since expired
Now you will hear, now you will see
Now you will burn, burn, BURN!

Sources draining
No sustaining the life
While we’re dreaming
The Earth screaming
But no one hears her cries
Watch the world bleed
Taking more that we need
Now we choke on our selfish desires
Why, oh why?

The truth is coming emblazoned in gold
There’s no deliverance
We reap what we sow

Oh, we called the savior
Now we’ll be cleansed by the fire
Oh, redeem our failures
Now we’ll be cleansed by the fire

Oh, we called the savior
Now we’ll be cleansed by the fire
Oh, redeem our failures
Now we’ll be cleansed by the fire

6. Wardens Of The New World

There’s a story that is told
Of the day the fire burnt away the sky
Strangers came from afar
Returning to a world unrecognized
They couldn’t believe their eyes

(Mother Earth)
A billion years my biosphere
So perfect self-sustaining
Compromised in only a century
The greed of man is too extreme
No limits to their taking
No longer will I suffer for their needs

No longer will I suffer for the human plan
This legacy of decadence must end
No longer will I suffer for the human plan
My powers of recovery transcend

Fires raged a thousand days
Survivors were enlightened
A wiser race would claim the new frontier
Born again our vision clear
We guard the earth united
The harmony inside must persevere

We are the Wardens of the new world
Honoring the promises we’ve made
We are the Wardens of the new world
The reckoning has risen from the flames

And the story goes on
Are we free from the flames,
Or will they reignite?

(Mother Earth)
My oceans will rise very soon
A dance that I play with the moon
Waves of renewal carry away
New life replacing decay
I will end the strife
I will bring new life
I will bring new life!

You are the Wardens of the new world
Honoring the promises you have made
You are the Wardens of the new world
The reckoning has risen from the flames

We are the Wardens of the new world
Honoring the promises we’ve made
We are the Wardens of the new world
The reckoning has risen from the flames

We are the Wardens of the new world
Honoring the promises we’ve made
We are the Wardens of the new world
The reckoning has risen from the flames

And the story goes on
We will unite with one true vision
Protect the Earth
This is our mission
Our home is in peril unless we all act
The Strangers have left us
But they will come back if we fail!

7. Heed The Warning

8. Supernova

Light bright as a thousand stars
Brace for a stellar explosion
Nine planets are torn apart
Erased if the promise is broke

Static words no longer hold their weight
Without change there's no tomorrow

Supernova
We have been warned of the damage we've done
Supernova
Shine
Supernova
Beauty reborn from the death of the sun
Supernova
Shine

Find ourselves
A conscience changing
Find ourselves aligned
Find ourselves
A world worth saving
Find ourselves
The altruistic mind

Night is upon us, eternal dark
Time to awaken from our dreaming

Supernova
We have been warned of the damage we've done
Supernova
Shine
Supernova
Beauty reborn from the death of the sun
Supernova
Ignites

Light bright as a thousand stars

9. Starchild

10. Into The Sun

I’m living out a fantasy
I’m goin’ away
This world is not enough for me
And I just can’t stay
I’m ready to fly
I’ll follow my dreams to unfamiliar skies

Lights that descend in the night
Vibrant colors exploding in my eyes
I have imagined the ride
Astral images occupy my mind

Ride on
Ride on into the sun
Ride on
The journey has just begun

I see the Earth below
Fragile and alone
Humbled by the sight
Majestic is her light
I wish they all could know

I’m livin out a fantasy
I’m flyin’ away
A guided tour is what I need
Around the secrets of space
The grandest show
It’s all for me
Into the great unknown
Strange
Spiral galaxies wind their way
I’m entranced by their display
Space
Always yearning to be explored
We will find new life someday

Ride on
Ride on into the sun
Ride on
The journey has just begun

Ride on
Ride on into the sun
Ride on
The journey has just begun

There is a light that hides
Deep in the darkest regions
Illuminate your mind
Explore the furthest reaches
There is a light that hides
Deep in the darkest regions
Illuminate your mind
Explore the furthest reaches

To be continued…?
