[Instrumental]

2. Of Echoes And Reflections

[Helmsman:] The course of the man
is hiding from him
the sky is red, the darkness is here
when the shadow has come
a light has been seen
from the depths to his eyes I can see
a reflection in time
too short to be told
to the east we turned and soon we forgot
for days weeks and months
we travelled the world
only echoes in the night what we have got.

[Boatswain:] From the coldest ice
to the boiling fire
from the viking lands
to the rivers of mayan
hundred days have past
we are lost and tired
all it seems is hard to believe!

[Captain:] Wherever I go
whatever I see
only echoes and reflections
we are getting so much closer
I dont care what it takes

[Captain:] Ahead,
tack,
turn the rudder, hoist the mainsail
fast is the chase,
and long the run
the wind is with us
the gods show their trust
long may be the path,
but not the chase.

[Captain:] We're on the right way.
[Boatswain:] The men are falling, sir.
[Captain:] That's where it would be found. Impossible maze?
[Boatswain:] They need a rest; my captain.
[Captain:] I never ever lost a trace.

[Captain:] Follow the sign.
[Boatswain:] My captain please.
[Captain:] The ancient path.
[Boatswain:] No man should reach.
[Captain:] Rest is but triumph's enemy!

[Captain:] Wherever I go
whatever I see
only echoes and reflections
the light of the stars is guiding my way
it's so clear to me
it's too late now, glory awaits
in the depths of the sea.

3. New Dawn

Dead,
for nothing
Hero of the wrong cause
What have they done?
His sacrifice, a loss
His life, mistaken.
And what is taken now
Will never come back.
Now it's time
To look up and claim what you need
For them to pay their crimes
Their greed.

And nothing will persuade us
Everything will change
Memories won't fade out
In the end you'll fail
His life will be avenged
And we shall see new dawn
The dark is not forever
He will not be gone
He will not be gone
And we shall see new dawn.
And it's time to go

These bounds
Between
You and us
Won’t last forever
You know it
We know!

6. The End Of The Beggining

There is a moment in life when you don't know what will come
Look for the meaning of life and there's nothing you can find
You may feel down and think that there's nowhere you can go
But you will rise like the phoenix from the ashes of your past

Ladies & Gentlemen welcome to the show of life!
You will see desperation, misery and pain
You will find that your life is like living in hell
You will see superstition as your only religion,
struggling with evils that won't really come
You'll find that this life won't give you peace of mind
but what will you do if you don't want to die?

Maybe now it's time to feel alive

All the life that you have left behind
will help you to face the things to come
The future meets the past in this new present
The end of the beginning has gone

The sun is shining on my back
I've got the feeling I can glow
And if things don't turn out that way
I still will sing this song
One thing that is too hard to learn
is that darkness turns to light
and if you're singing to this tune
You'll see the sun at night

You'll see that life's not a matter of good or evil
You'll see that there’s no drawing line
between darkness and light
You'll see that love becomes hate
and that's something you can't change,
you'll have to feel the pain
You'll see a flood of fire burning
deep in your soul turning the flesh into dust
You're the owner of your life
so you have to avoid the lies
because God has died

All the life that you have left behind
will help you to face the things to come
The future meets the past in this new present
The end of the beginning has gone

The future meets the past in this new present
The end of the beginning has gone

7. Falling From Earth

Lie
On the ground.
Hear that peaceful sound.
And see
What could be,
What is coming.

Light,
Blinding light,
Dream of a past life
Darkness what it brings
And I know it.
Falling From Earth:

Life,
Only time
To be wasted.
I did what I did
and I don't regret it

The end
Of the world
And nobody's here to learn.
And why
Should I cry
I knew this time would come

And what is left for me,
Just air so hot that I wouldn't breath.
My vision starts to fade,
My mind is going some other place.

8. Morphosis

[-Chapter I:]

[♂He:] Are you there, my love?
I'm still here waiting

It’s a beautiful day,
and everything's fine

Why don't you come down
and make me smile?

today will be the day
you'll see the sunlight

[♀She:] You know I can't do that, my love
It’s harder to breathe with the thought

[♂He:] You promised you would come
just this one time

Winter's here again,
with falling leaves and snow

Remember us that day
you couldn't say a word

Look at all you did
just a little more

[♀She:] I just can't go outside
This world is dangerous

[♂He:] its all in your mind
there' s a whole scene to see
a life to live
too long you've been aside
you need air to breathe
so come down here, my life
i'll be with you
theres no need to be afraid , you can change
like you did all this time
you know how, you know why
leave your demons behind

[♀She:] you know I can't do that, my love
its harder to breathe with the thought
my heart shakes and turns and revolts (2)

[♣Friend:] I never failed to pay
and you all know that (you know)
please give me one more day
i'm not a liar (I'm not)

[○Dealer:] Just one more day and it's over
But you will have to pay double
You better go get the money
You better know what your playing

[♂He:] Truth in our eyes enlightens the path
But human parlour veils glow into dark
Universe is in right balance for us
We’re in this world to rejoice and smile
I was once blind like you are at this time
Let my wise words undrape your frightened anima

[♣Friend:] I need this, I have to get stoned
I know that one trip can solve it all

[♣Friend:] It's all so ruined
I got some troubles, mate
I always fuck everything up
This time is serious dead
(What?)yes that's how I'm going to be
I have to hide, my friend (okay but..)
You gotta help me this one time
I swear, never again (What happens?)

[○Dealer:] Hey!! You! Come here!, Where's my money!! I want my money!!
[♂He:] Who are these people? What have you done?
[○Dealer:] Time’s up, I told you one day
You think you can disrespect me? This is my kingdom and nobody messes with the fucking king
[♣Friend:] okay I'll have it
I promise… just… a little more time please
[♂He:] What is all this about?
[○Dealer:] Get him!!!!
[♣Friend:] Run!
[♣Friend:] Damn this is a dead end
[○Dealer:] Well it seems you aren’t going anywhere, at least face your end like a man
[♣Friend:] no please
[♂He:] No, let us go, I ‘ll pay you!
[○Dealer:] It's too late…
[♣Friend:] No!!!!

[-Chapter II:]

[+Priest:] We know there are some things we can’t change
Sometimes life hits us so hard
One day, we’re happy and engaged
Next one we say goodbye

We know it’s true
This is the life

My sons now it’s time to say farewell
There’s nothing more we can say, do or tell
He had no guilt he was no shame
He did all good and never failed

This great man leaves a greater void
A painful hole inside our hearts
(But) if you feel you need his guide
Pray and he will come

We say farewell
We say goodbye
Can you hear our prayers?
My lord

We know it’s true
Why is it so?

Why you God allow these things to happen
(I feel so betrayed)
Is there really anybody there?
(No one at all)
No parent should have to bury their child
(I’ve nothing with you)
From this day on I have nothing with you

[♀She:] I ‘d want you to know
You made me be who I am
You freed from my home
and my mind
But now you are not with me
I feel alone
There is a life to live
A whole new world
to see

[♂He:] I've lived like life was eternal
as we always do
but I can't play chess with death
There is a thin line
between death and life
Don't you wait to cross it
to appreciate your time

[♣Friend:] This is the end
This game is over
I lost my friend
They killed the wrong guy

A narrow maze (this is the end)
A clockwork face (This game is over)
A bloody trace (I lost my friend)
I killed the wrong guy

([♂He:] You can’t stay like this forever my friend
It was not your fault they killed me not you now it’s
Time to clear the shadow inside your mind and
break the walls of madness in your head)

[♣Friend:] I’ve had enough
I cannot live like this
Too much time I’ve let this thing
be the owner of my life
Too much I’ve sacrificed
So no more trips for me I want to stay at home

[♀She:] He was your friend
He always trusted you
Where is he?
He shouldn’t have been with you

How do you call yourself a friend, he’s dead because of you
How do you dare to even say his name
Your damnation was his doom.

[♣Friend:] I know, I know I swear it’s all because of me
It’s devastating , I see him everyday , feel his blood in my hands and my chest
I’m sorry brother...

Raise your head
You have robbed his time
Words in vain
He’s dead and you’re alive
There’s no sense in coming here to talk
No words can heal my heart
Leave this home and take with you the lies
No words can bring my child.

[+Priest:] Raise your head
You have robbed his time
Words in vain
He’s dead and you’re alive
There’s no sense in coming here to talk
No words can heal my heart
Leave this home and take with you the lies
No words can bring my child.

[♂He:] Don't blame him for my death
it's not his fault.
You've got to carry on, now that I'm gone.
Like the flowing river our lives move,
don't remain still
Don't go countercurrent, trying to change the past, follow the river course!

[♣Friend:] Hello there my friend
Now it’s been a while
My wife had a child who carries your name.

And all that I have it’s for you
I’m happy again cause of you
You gave me the chance of a new life
And this time I’ll get it right

[+Priest:] There’s no way my son
To thank you for
making me a man
aware of being wrong

I‘ve seen it all
Lived a long
life
Seen the time fly
to the world’s end

[♀She:] No one
means more to me
But I know you want me
to feel
I was proposed this morning
He reminds me so of you

In my eyes
My guide
My sun

[♂He:] Words of joy I can feel from apart
You all have freed your hearts
You’ve learned to live with no boundaries of mind
My leaving opened your eyes
I’m happy

Through Morphosis you’ve reached the epitome of life.

9. Memories Of The Water

Slave of my heart
always trying to break me down
dellusional mind
Is this how i' ll always be?

You know that something is there
another false sign
I can't even see the line anymore
The darkest symbiosis, a bed of no roses, is this what is left to me?

The sound of this life
double edged sword
sorrow in my heart
magic in my tone

the sound of this life
double edged sword
magic in my tone
sorrow in my heart

I thought I was lost and drained (you were wrong)
an emptiness called insane (you were wrong)
and all of the skies are falling (you were wrong)
the happiness long forgotten (you were wrong)

And nothing is taking us apart
I need you to survive
and they're calling

I'm not gonna leave you anyway
you're the blood in my veins
and they're growing

This is who and how I always am
my music and my heart
and they're coming

I wanna live my life
maybe just not pretend
I'm losing me again

One body pouring down
two different songs alive
distorsionates the hound
they're coming)

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!

This... heart... every time... beats drowned... in the sound.
Cold... eyes... empty look... the world as I knew it... lost.

Walk... down.. the riverside... ravens as gulls... around me.
Fall... rise... ringing in my ear... a forest, a night... and a cliff.

Blue inside and below
they're haunting me to meet
I cannot fight anymore.

This darkest core in me
source of my life and grief
finally free... one step.

10. Asleep In A Wormhole

Wake at 8:11,
Half my face on the bed,
Got a strange sensation,
Has this happened again?
My body yet so numb,
Starts to move again,
I get up with a headache
I leave my room, turn left.

I lead my feet across the hall
Directly into the kitchen.
The TV’s on but no one’s home,
Man, what a waste of cable!
I grab the bread I shake my head
The pain is getting stronger
My whole body trembles
I think I’m passing out.
I think not again
And I don’t know
Why this similar sensation
I don’t recall ever passing out.
I'm reaching the phone,
But the toaster is on,
Get burned
And then scream like a small girl
My vision collapses,
My headache grows fast,
I really think
I’m gonna faint here.
It happens too fast
I just fall to the ground
Without hearing at all
But I’m hearing one sound,
And I wake up again,
8:11 am,
With my face on the bed
The sensation is there!

What is happening?
Is this the real thing?
I can feel there's something wrong
I recall
I've lived the scene
With a change of scenery
Maybe not completely odd
But I can see the spots

So I get up again,
Or that's what I intend
But look at that!
That's not my arm!
It seems the night went great,
I apparently got laid,
She was not here!
This is fucked up!

I get up, strangest feeling
But I think...I was dreaming!
The TV's off, I sit down
I turn it on and try to calm down.
There is nothing good to see
I can hear how she's calling me
So I get up, but my head grows pain
I know that, I've felt the same
I start to faint!

What is happening?
Is this the real thing?
I can feel there's something wrong
I've lived the scene
With a change of scenery
Maybe not completely odd
But I just can see the spots
I recall.

I get up once again
I reach my phone and call
No signal anywhere
This fucking piece of junk!
I'm now alone, the TVs off
But then I hear a knocking
There's someone at the door
I better go to open
My head starts to hurt
I get to cross the hall
The doorknob spins around
10 minutes on the clock
I feel like laying down
Finally the door
I fall, I try to watch it
There's nothing I can do
All is getting darker...

13. 3:11 A.M. (The Crystal Clock)

[He:] I am,
in a room far from anywhere.
This bed is cold,
I'm trapped alone.

Contemplating a wide mirror
A big clock beside me.
Why is it not ticking away?
Why is it always 3:11 A.M.?
(Wake up)

I see a shape in the mirror glass,
A vision of two black frozen eyes.

So I turn, to see her face
But the shape is gone…
An empty space instead
Who is out there?
I've been here for too long
Save me! Please, please...

[She:] Dear live again,
Open your eyes,
I know you're alive.
Why don't you wake?
3 years hurt too much,
Dave, come back to life

[He:] A vague illusion of the brightest past
A voice inside is calling me,
Like an angel.

[She:] I can feel your heart,
Beating strong,
To survive.

[He:] The ice is melting,
The lights fade out
Only her eyes are shining now.

[She:] Please wake up!,
Open your eyes,
Open them!

[He:] Then I saw your face,
I stared at that joyful rain.
I kissed your lonely lips,
And held you close.
Cassiopeia of mine,
Constellation in the sky
For all these moons
You’ve warmed my coldest nights

[She:] David, do you know?
I've been coming at the same hour
For too long, for you!

[He:] Stay with me,
Don’t let me fall asleep.

14. S!urm

14. S!urm

In a sea made of hopes, his drowned wishes sailed everywhere next to him.
A young, and naive soul was being decieved in a false reality.
He discovered his lost paradise, a place where he found many opportunities
But his joy began to vanish when he woke up from his endless dream.

[S!urm:] I can touch the sky with my handsFall asleep in the clouds at night
And the sun, is shining from my heart
When the moon escapes me from my mind
I can't imagine what's wrong with this...

This land unconsciousness
I'm afraid this glass breaks
Pieces of heaven would rain
Without this I couldn't rest

[Friend:] Rest my friend
I'll be there

[S!urm:] I'm tired of seeing
the same unclear face.

[Friend:] Face the pain
Take it out from your blame.

[S!urm:] Oh, How I'd wish to be awake

[Friend:] Wake up from your dream,
Dreaming is not what you need.
All you feel is unreal
Now it's time to break free.

Fuck! S!urm, wake up from your fucking dream!!!

[Inner voice:] There's no escape from the fog, the shock, the clock, the lock of reality
This impulse comes from deep within inside
Don't even try to deny you've always lived for it.

[Inner voice:] Remember when you started putting bricks in the wall
Now you're living in your own Andalusian Dog
This is better than the pavement and the city smog
The Mistery Train of dreams is your world
Don't forget it! Don't forget it! For reality you ain't ready!

[Inner voice:] Stop! out of this prison you're not
Don't you remember, together we built up our world
I'm the reason of your questions and thoughts
I'm the soul, the pain, the hate, the love, you will drown!

[Friend:] Now you know the truth
You only have to choose
What is better for you
Remember your wasted youth

[S!urm:] What's the sense of living here?
nobody really cares about it,
grass less green, sun bleeds cold, all colors fade to grey.
Now where is my brush to paint them?
Where's my soft, white cloud to lay down?,
I should never rebirth to that world,
Will my home be safe?

Save my land of consciousness
I'm afraid this glass breaks
Pieces of heaven would rain
Without this I couldn't rest...

[Friend:] Rest my friend
I'll be there.

[S!urm:] Fantasy
is my real place.

[Friend:] Place of pain
Take it out from your blame.

[S!urm:] Now, my decision has been made
I'll keep the dream alive!

15. T.I.M.E. (Part 3: The Sign On The Wall)

Dear Francesca:
I don't have much time left. And time, time is all there is... As I write this letter now, I realize how distorted was my reality in that moment, and how vivid this dream seemed to me. But you are not her, and I'm not him. I'm sorry, I was selfish and things turned that
way. I'm going to fix it. You may not understand why I leave; it's better if you don't. But, whatever happens, if all burns down, if all disappears, if all is forgotten, you must remember the one constant that links it all: remember that... I love you.

My dear love my best friend,
It’s time for me to say goodbye.
You were as I recall,
So perfect and so wise.
Your look has haunted me
Every day since...

I'm leaving home today
Don’t worry you will be ok,
You will be ok.
I should never have come
I love you, above all
But I have one ticket back
With no return...

Forgive me
For I have robbed
For I have killed.
It was all for her
I couldn't stand it anymore,
I thought I could cheat death.
So many lies,
I was mesmerized
By the pain and grief.
How could I even see
The consequences of this?
I just loved, loved her So I did it.

Wrong, you took the wrong way
You did but screwing it all
What will you do with the darkness in you?
Just fake it and take it away?

So I'm taking the T.I.M.E.
And I would just leave forever.
The universe is breaking down,
Two collapsing realities.

Maybe I could just stay
It’s dangerous, but worse it is
To travel once again.
(Don't you forget).
(You did something bad).

(Don't you forget)
But I want to stay.
(You did something bad)
I'm not losing her once more.
How am I supposed to live?!

The deed is done, does it make sense to leave?
Save the world, a little late for me
It took my wife, it took my faith,
and I'm supposed to undo what is made...
But I know, I know
It cannot be this way
I have to let her go
Back and fix what I made.

This must be the lane, this way I came
It's almost the hour and it's the day
But it was so dark and all the rain
I think I went south then to the west
Was there maybe a tree? A black stone?
If there was a plant, it was not too grown.
At least now it's clear, it's nearly dawn
I will have no trouble seeing the sign on the wall.
There's no time at all
Could it be that someone...
Knew beside myself
How to travel in time?

The sign on the wall, the ink is strong
It may be quite blurred, but there's no doubt
The plucked winter tree, the middle eye
The two closed black curves, one on each side
Well this is the place, I better move
I don't want to be smashed when it's come
I can feel it now, I know that sound
The earthquakes are sign of coming T.I.M.E.

(You know it's time, it's the time)
(Bye my love)
So now, December ninth 1993
Today’s the day there’s no other way
So who am I to say?
There’s always time?
(You know it's time)
I know it's time
(You know it's time)
I will set you free
(Be loved, be free).

And I will be back home
Far and gone
As soon as it's turned on
All it takes
Is set the time
To 4 o'clock p.m.
And press the led.

My love there're other things
I could say to explain
Was it love or just selfishness what brought me in first place?

I can't see you aching and alone
Fighting not to moan, not to cry
And I see your shadow grow
Consuming all,
All of you,
All of you.

What to do?
What to say?
Turn the night
into day I'm the guilt
I'm the shame
Oh the stone
Grows her name

What to do?
What to say?
Turn the night into day.

[Me:] Am I ready to go?
(Reason: As you have always been!)
[Me:] Can I let it go?
(Reason: You can and you will)
[Me:] Maybe there's no place...
(Reason: There's just one way to prove you wrong!)
[Me:] No memory remains...
(No-me: YOU PITIFUL DECAY!!!)
[Me:] How many would live?
(Reason: That choice is never yours to make)
[Me:] And how many would die...?

[All:] Ok, I'm going back.
