ATSPHEAR LYRICS

1. Quantum - Redshift

Redshift. Light travels on the shockwave
against an everlasting force.
How long will it take to gravity
to win and throw us all into the black hole?

We receive radiation from the past,
memories of preimeval energy.
We rely on it...
Everything is quiet out there
while forces struggle.

Do we know? Do we want to know?
Do we know that we're just stardust in the universe
and we could vanish without a trace?
We are completely weak and defenceless,
so wait and pretend
that we don't know that we're just stardust in the universe,
and nothing else...

We believe that the Earth is here to last,
but we refuse to face the facts.
It wasn't here before...
Destruction leads to evolution.
We're just a step to a further stage construction.

Do we know?
Do we know that we're just stardust in the universe
and we could vanish without a trace?
We are completely weak and defenceless,
so wait and pretend
that we don't know that we're just stardust in the universe,
and nothing else...

Blueshift. Gravity claims her tribute.
Big Crunch, swallow the old dead stars.
Black Hole. There's no final judgement day.
Hold on. It will begin once again.

2. The Storm

The rain falls down, and blinds my vision
I wonder why should I stand this.

I beat the force of gravity
and breathe the air of ancient times.
I understand what are we made of
and realize that life is precious.

The sun rays keep my face enlightened,
above the clouds, the storm is over.

The weight of all the Universe
is over me, I have to struggle.
My freedom is my best reward,
my spirit keeps my will unbroken.

The sun rays keep my face enlightened,
above the clouds, the storm is over.

3. Centuries

Will I reach the roots of space and time?
Will I ever find the answer?
Why are we here? So long now...

Centuries I have spent on my research,
centuries I've devoted to
our existence.

When I reach my destination
I'll have been forgotten long ago.
A legend to generations,
they soon gave me up for lost.

Is this worth the wait? What is this for?
Will I ever be successful?
I don't think so...

Everyone who knew me passed away,
now my gift has turned into my curse.
I feel useless...

If I reach my destination
I'll have been forgotten long ago.
A legend to generations,
they soon gave me up for lost.

Now it seems so far, but the pressure grows…
Moments of relief… now it seems so close.

All around is changing, there’s a new hope in my head.
All around is changing, destination right ahead.
Just another vision, (…)
Just another vision, destination far away.
Now it seems so close, (…)
Moments of relief… now it seems so far.

4. Unknown Monsters

I've heard too much.
I was not invited to this conversation between Gods.
I've seen too much.
I was not prepared to face the forces of the infinite.

I can see that I was right when I thought that If Universe
would talk it would sound like the voice of

Unknown monsters. I am terrified about what's next.
Unknown monsters. Ready to devour an unknown man.

I've been punished. All my senses have been pulled out of me. I wont feel again.
I am lucky. All that knowdledge is inside and I've began to understand:

All my fear has torn into relief as I have realized that
I've been chosen and I am an

Unknown monster. Senseless with an absolute control.
Unknown monster. Ready to preserve the balance.

[Spanish version:]

[Monstruos Desconocidos]

He oido demasiado.
No fui invitado a esta conversación entre dioses.
He visto demasiado.
No estaba preparado para afrontar las fuerzas del infinito.

Puedo ver que estaba en lo correcto al pensar que si el Universo hablara
lo haría con la voz de

Monstruos desconocidos. Me aterroriza lo que pueda pasar.
Monstruos desconocidos. Preparados para devorar a un hombre desconocido.

He sido castigado. Se me han quitado los sentidos. Jamás volveré a sentir.
Tengo suerte. Todo ese conocimiento está dentro y comienzo a comprender.
Todo el miedo se ha tornado en alivio al darme cuenta de que
he sido elegido y soy un

Monstruo desconocido. Insensible. Con control absoluto.
Monstruo desconocido. Listo para preservar el equilíbrio.

5. Empire

It’s a matter of time that you realize what’s hiding behind those wicked lies.
As a matter of fact you’re not alone, despite all the things that you’ve been told.

I’ve been searching for you, so you find out the truth,
You’ve been wondering ‘bout all these memories.

Do you think they were dreams? They are part of your life: We were made of the same material.
It will clash with your faith, but don’t be afraid. Empire of truth will prevail.

There was the age chaos
When fire melted us down.
Together we’re stronger,
They don’t want you to know.

They keep you weak with half a heart.
Their strongest shield: your ignorance.
I am the light you need to see,
Open your eyes and come to me.

I see now…

I am the one I used to be,
My heart emits a single beat.

I receive my commitment to the laws of nature as the entity I am.
I have no longer memory, and my mind is made up the foundations of the balance.
Now my acts are relevant and they write the history, so there could be a future.

6. A Gate To The Unknown

Stars, left behind.
All I see is a blast of energy.
I still can feel on my skin the side effects of a quantum leap.

I think, therefore I am.
But I can hardly understand what's going on.

Universe collapses. Another one is born.
I dive into the black stone and cross the outer bounds.
Cosmic strings become a gate to the unknown.

All this things happen to be real,
but at this point I cannot even feel.

My skin... Freeze!
My chest... Freeze!
My lungs... Freeze!
My heart... Freeze!

Rise! Rise! My consciousness.
Rise! Rise! My will.
Rise! Rise! My wisdom.
Rise! Rise to the next level!

I reach a new state of matter. I really dominate the space and time.
My human limits have been shattered. I share a common universal mind.

I don't belong to anywhere. I'm but a flow of electricity.
I don't belong to anywhere. I only care about infinity.

What am I supposed to do?

Universe collapses. Another one is born.
I dive into the black stone and cross the outer bounds.
Cosmic strings become a gate to the unknown.

7. Sand

Sand has flowed out the hourglass.
Time is meaningless to them.
Sand melts down, turns to glass.
New sand goes inside, flows free for a while.
Joins the glass, marks the time,
Nature in his purity.

Waves just travel on the tide.
There’s no border on their path.
Reach the coast, touch the sand.
New sand goes inside. Flows free for a while.
Joins the sea, rides the tide.

Building up the world.

[Spanish version:]

[Arena]

La arena se ha salido del reloj.
El tiempo no tiene significado para ella.
La arena se funde. Se transforma en cristal.
Nueva arena entra. Fluye libre por un tiempo.
Entra en el cristal. Marca el tiempo,
Naturaleza en estado puro.

Las olas viajan con la marea.
No hay bordes en su camino.
Alcanzan la costa. Tocan la arena.
Nueva arena entra. Fluye libre por un tiempo.
Entra en el mar. Viaja en la marea.

Construyendo el mundo.

8. The Builder Of The Stage

It’s time to leave and vanish, it’s time to disappear.
I’m gonna join the past.

I want to be remembered, but memories are weak.
Flesh always turn to dust.

Help me, I lose control

The darkness grows around me,
it feels like it’s the end.
It feels like it’s too fast.

I can’t believe I’m dying,
It doesn’t hurt at all.
It’s just a kind of trance.

I see that dying man,
I recognize his face:
The face that I once had
seems horrible to me.

I’ve got no limits now,
I’m energy in space.

My body is underground,
It gives me real strength.

I see those dying men,
I just feel sympathy.

Death brings a new life.

I’m bigger than before,
And I’ve ripped the yoke of flesh.
What was my driving force
is an absolute nonsense.

I’m the builder of the stage.

9. My Grave

“...All right, connection successful. It’s great to hear from a human being again. Well, up here everything is different than we thought. I can hardly find the words to describe this vision. It’s like... well, I can’t explain it. It’s like we’ve been wrong all this time. All that we learned... forget it. It seems like physics are not the same here. It’s difficult to understand, but I hope I can show you. Let me adjust some settings and I’ll be ready for transmission. OK, emitter OK, image OK and... What the...? What was that? I’ll try to fix that. It’s like some... Damn it! Can you hear me? Hello? HELLO?!”

I’ve been left here on my own.
I can’t take it all alone.
They made me feel as if I was the one,
But years went by and all went wrong.

Now I’m living in a hole.
It’s that time just takes its toll.
My body aches and I feel old,
and I can’t find the way back home.

Damn my mission, damn my fate.
I’ve been cursed by my mistakes.
These mistakes could have been fixed,
but, well... I guess now it’s too late.

I could make this end today.
I could face death and be brave.
But I don’t want to end this way
‘cause there’s no land to dig my grave.
