ILLUSION SUITE LYRICS

1. Intro

[Instrumental]

2. Orpheus' Quest

§ Orpheus

I play poetry. I want this God deceived.

And when the sun goes down
I will climb into the underworld

How did I lose my way in life?
Can I start it over again?
I want to blind this God with music
To bring my loved one home

I played along with the boatman's hunger
For the coins in my hand
He brought me into the darkest of realms
For my love I will cross past this dimension door

§ Hades

I will raise the foes of my kingdom
There's no fight
I am crushing all my enemies
Now, there is no heart
There's no sympathy
There eyes are as cold as the night

§ Orpheus

How did I lose my way in life?
Can I start it over again?
I want to blind this God with music
To bring my loved one home

You took her...
I want her back tonight!
Under these circumstances I'll fight
Let us settle this nice
Today you picked a flower of innocence

§ Hades

You tremble at my throne in awe
My darkness prevails

§ Orpheus

It is my poetry emotions that
I share with you tonight

I praise thee
I intend to commence in the writing of a hymn
They'll be chanting your name in the living's realm
Writing about thee in poetry

§ Hades

I can see across my whole kingdom
I said: "Go, but you don't look at Eurydice!"
Now go back and meet your destiny
Torment awaits her in the abysses of Hell

§ Orpheus

But in the end he released my love
On the terms we agreed:
"Walk not to turn, do not look in her eyes"

In the end I could not help but to turn around

§ End game

Five birds are flying above
one bird's perception the others are ignoring

So, two birds part their flock this day
All will never play together
There is another kind of ball game
From this day on, and from now...

3. Uni-Twins

With no intention
I face a door that hides a chain of reactions.
Trans-universal eyes unite.
Let's mess around with the God of creation.

Can I find a way to reach your soul?
The clockwork spins; divides the uni-twins.
Then how can we unify?
We are the twins through time.

Feel my soul through the fibers of space.
Cosmic events are the soul of the world,
And gathered in the consciousness of life.

Am I? Do I exist without a memory of my body?
How do I know if I ever lived? What's real?

With no intention
I face a door that hides a chain of reactions.
Cross-universal eyes unite.
Let's mess around with the God of creation.

Can I find a way to reach your soul?
The clockwork spins; divides the uni-twins.
Now in a sense I am your equation;
The fool that sought your reflection.

Feel my soul through the fibers of space.
Cosmic events are the soul of the world,
And gathered in the consciousness of life.

Feel my soul through the fibers of space.
Cosmic events are the soul of the world,
And gathered in the consciousness of life.

Sense my soul; unite us as one!
So I can figure out how to break out.
I have been able to cross time;
Merge your universe with mine.
Fare well!

4. The Iron Cemetery

Electric tension will foster an iron scourge
Inside the tower of Wardenclyffe
The weather's running wild
Craving force, power fusion, radiant diffraction
A whole production managed by one man
The tower of Tesla will stand

All the world rejoices
Now as science brings the world to light
But the electromagnetic field of the Earth
Brings all to a wild collision

This December something's on the rise
There's a sign in a dark horizon
Cosmic fusion, sky divine

Ash from above
Makes an illusion
Liquified metal rain down
Draping the sky in shades this night

There was a place called Iron Cemetery
And science made it so
Forceful and decisive was the ironizing
And when metallic smoke had cleared up
The human race resembled robotic remains
They met their end in silence

Watching his act
Turning to chaos
Trying to finalize a cure
Watching his loved ones turn

So the years pass in silence without intrusion
Then suddenly a fragile flower blooms
Diffusing its life-giving fumes

Ash from the sky
Made its intrusion
Forging its liquified crown
Down on the living of this world

5. When Love Fails

He's staring out the window
As his mother leaves
He opens a door in his own mind
To search for the company he'd love to find
This is the first time that he's left behind
In Christmas time
He tries to make food on the floor
he lights up the firework his mom brought home

Love fails then something breaks down
And out of despair when deceived
He is strengthening his fantasy faculties

Beating in her daily care
With a fist that hurts or self-sustaining mind games
The cracks in the wall are beginning to show now
Drunk in his bedroom she laughs 'til he wakes
Then she scares him with faces she makes
In a soft stream he travels now
The garden and his fairy let him in

Into the great unknown...

I travel down
Beneath the stones and rocks I go
It's a lonely, lonely road

I had a talk with my angels and demons
On my world of true affliction

I rolled the dice, what to do, and believe in?
Which way is the best to walk?

He narrows his consciousness
To a state of mind that astral-travels far
Now is he asleep or awake?
Alone with his sister he's five years of age
He doesn't think he can do this alone
On a soft bed he lays her down
The window of Anubis lets her in

He travelled the stars and then back again
His mother is waiting this time
On the floor lies his one-year-old sister
She's lifeless...

6. Nero

I heard a voice whisper: "Transfigure all;
You're burning down the city
Just to build it up again"
I have a dream to stand up tall, immortalized
I build a statue that will stand eternity

Divine intervention has brought me to the throne
The emperor sees through an actors eyes
The show goes on
A new beginning... let's play
All of the world's my stage

In my mind there are vast plans impending
And when aligned a new world will rise
My secret friend has been aiding me, to find a way
Through our cosmic intercourse

Don't be afraid now!
Wake up from confusion!
Stay the course thought!
I am here, the Gods are not
I'm not the one who's in need of protection
The gods need aid from me

All his work is delayed
The funds are running few
Employing his last resort
He launches a suicide campaign
When the dark cloaks a traitor
And the "busy bees" employs
Then, the vanquish of the senate will begin

A foe of the state and an emperor of his dreams
And so he prepares his suicide
"The world will lose the greatest artist that lived"
Echoes his words today

Five birds are flying past unfertile soil
Then circling by a lifeless emperor
They separate their ways; its a sign
Like waves are approaching the coastline
His life pulls closer to the end
The tyrant's reign is at its ending

7. Nostradamus' First Prophecy

One artifact has been damaged in Chambery
Through fire it held
A riddle's found at the 1890's end
Much is lost
As records begin
I take the time to advertise my vision
God's earthly bound

Technology will set us free
Through my mind's
Prophecy the visions shows history
Plot is acted out, all the world our stage
The space-time decipher

I sense a man
And his fortune is our history
A wrap from a white shroud
Hides the truth to the year 2004
Mystery solved
By science's advance
it was a man's acceptance with misfortune
A cross to bear

Technology will set us free
Through my mind's prophecy, the visions shows history
Plot is acted out, all the world our stage
Space-time decipher

As I rest on cavern ground
All the world is praying
My spirit will be free
My sacrifice binds man

8. The Ugly Duckling

The pain that I feel
The agony
The tribulation
Is something I will overcome
And I see the swan pond
It's hard to imagine a life free of strain

I want this life that I am constantly denied
They raise their hand in repugnance
But I will get through

Hey, duck
Go and hide inside!
You are to foul and ugly to socialize
You might even scare them off
Complain and cry
You are a sucker
You are a nasty case
Your face should be hidden
Your presence forbidden

Inside I am a diamond
But turning inside out
Is painfully complicated
Now I will take my life and my leave

Looking into the water
Too shocked to duck and drown
I'm not the one that I used to be
The mirror shows a swan

Hey swan
Play with us tonight
Follow the secret path where the river ends
We welcome you to our home
This way!
Come now!
Follow the secret path where the river ends
You came out of nowhere
We want you to live your lfie

9. Premonition

The pain that I feel
The agony
The tribulation
Is something I will overcome
And I see the swan pond
It's hard to imagine a life free of strain

I want this life that I am constantly denied
They raise their hand in repugnance
But I will get through

Hey, duck
Go and hide inside!
You are to foul and ugly to socialize
You might even scare them off
Complain and cry
You are a sucker
You are a nasty case
Your face should be hidden
Your presence forbidden

Inside I am a diamond
But turning inside out
Is painfully complicated
Now I will take my life and my leave

Looking into the water
Too shocked to duck and drown
I'm not the one that I used to be
The mirror shows a swan

Hey swan
Play with us tonight
Follow the secret path where the river ends
We welcome you to our home
This way!
Come now!
Follow the secret path where the river ends
You came out of nowhere
We want you to live your lfie
