1. Memento Vitae (Overture)

[Instrumental]

2. Resurrection Day

Now is our time
We're coming back to take what's ours
Far too long we have been silent
We want justice now
We are legion, and
We have been overruled so long
There's no holding back
We're coming over you so strong

We're heading straight to the end
But our salvation will be heaven-sent

Resurrection for the dead and gone
No more mortal decay on resurrection day
Love and honouring for the tortured, betrayed
At the end of the world, it's resurrection day

When it all explodes we will have company along
Our guardian angel will be chasing one by one
Spitting all the fire that will
Burn out the festering wound
Coming from desire that ended much too soon

We're heading straight to the end
But our salvation will be heaven-sent

Resurrection for the dead and gone
No more mortal decay on resurrection day
Love and honouring for the tortured, betrayed
At the end of the world, it's resurrection day
It's resurrection day

3. Virginity

Fearless, swimming in the river
Of all life, we're born here
And we trust
We let it
Go
Never we'd deny it
Understand in reason
That this world would
Feed us
All

When there came all evil in a snake
Disturbing our dreams, left us awake
We would taste perception, feel a need
To refresh our demon's greed

We were born from virginity
Now we live in pain, live in fear
We have lost our virginity
Did we all forget whey we're here

Dead man – we have killed our brother
Slayed him from behind and
Broke the rules
We lost our
Freedom
Now we had to hide us
From revenge and hatred
Waiting for our Judgment
Day

We have walked this line, so far away
Impossible to turn and seize the day
We decided for our souls to bleed
And refreshed our demon's greed

We were born from virginity
Now we live in pain, live in fear
We have lost our virginity
Did we all forget why we're here

4. A New Land

I have a vision in mind
Leaving our borders behind
Burns before my inner eye
My mission before I must die

Let's set the sail, ride the wind
And our ship will go west
'Til over the edge

Won't you fly with me
In my dreams, to see
That our world is made to expand
Come and sail with me on the seven seas
And explore with me a new land
A new land

Day after day passing by
How many men have to die?
Wandering our lifetime again
Conquer the world, find new land

Walk in our boots through the night
Follow the eastern star
'Til over the edge

Won't you fly with me
In my dreams, to see
That our world is made to expand
Come and sail with me on the seven seas
And explore with me a new land
A new land

5. Arrogance and Ignorance

Pride and fall
Is in us all
The patriot
Is playing God

All those years we lost, they passed us by
And we never tried to find a way to save the day
Can't you see this is reality
Don't you know that this is
Not a game to start again?

All that we can do in this act
Is play the starring role and let it go

Lies are falling from a blood red sky
We are going down in arrogance and ignorance
Dying cities, no one there to cry
Our ruin will be arrogance and ignorance

We're suffering
To serve a king
All hate and war
Against us all

See that young man there, his head in hands
While the fire takes his home and kills his family
His last choice is which way he will die
He remembers all the signs
That he ignored to see

All that he can do at last
Is realize – perception comes too late

Lies are falling from a blood red sky
We are going down in arrogance and ignorance
Dying cities, no one there to cry
Our ruin will be arrogance and ignorance

Arrogance is just a sign
Of stupidity and fear
Ignorance walks hand in hand
Both will bring our downfall here

All we can do is: Let it go

6. Man in Chains

Now confess your many sins
The torture, it will make you speak
Fear no evil, the trial begins
And your flesh is lame and weak

See the pyre's burning in the land
And the smell of death is here
Anger and fear hand in hand

Man in chains, all is pain
And submission is all in our veins
Man in chains, blood red stain
In the claws of the holy insane
All the lies that control our mindset
And the church, they proclaim it's the truth
All the scapegoats that die for our misfortunes
Bewitched, betrayed and burned!

There's no growth, no get ahead
The fear of god has tied us all
And the greed of just a few
Has lead us to the rim of Hell

Our world, it seems, is caught up in a trap
We need to find a better way
Wake up as this nightmare begins

Man in chains, all is pain
And submission is all in our veins
Man in chains, blood red stain
In the claws of the holy insane
All the lies that control our mindset
And the church, they proclaim it's the truth
All the scapegoats that die for our misfortunes
Bewitched, betrayed and burned!

7. The Age of Reason

Can you feel it all around
A new spirit we have found
Enlighten the darkness end the fear
A new understanding's here
Put your feet on higher ground
No restrictions hold us down
Set the sails, explore the world
Freedom's found in knowledge, it's

On and on and on
From father to son

It's the age of reason – awakening of man
It's the age or reason – the Creator's plan

Can you feel the winds of change
Do not fear the new and strange
What we find behind this door
Is beyond all we came for
Natural science is the key
To awake and set us free
Leave the darkness of the past
A new time has come for us

On and on and on
In future we are one

It's the age of reason – awakening of man
It's the age of reason – the Creator's plan

8. Monetary Gods

In a world where we close the borders
To the victims of our war machine
We pretend that we're true supporters
Of our ethic, our ideals are clean

The trace of blood it always goes
The same way money flows
It's not a secret if you want to know
The evidence will show

Fall on your knees and pray –
The monetary gods!
We will always worship you –
The monetary gods
Our monetary gods!

Our tribes and their glorious leaders
Make the rules, tell us what to do
Rob us all in their endless greed and
Celebrate their lies for all the fools

You will find them
At the biggest feast
They eat it all the same
You find all those who
Still believe in fairness
As losers of the game!

Fall on your knees and pray –
The monetary gods!
We will always worship you –
The monetary gods
Our monetary gods!

9. Mind Control

Do you know, you puppet on a string
You're my slave, I'll be your everything
Not a chance, you can't escape me
In your head I'll penetrate
We will become a unit, dear
The one you were is gone, I swear

Down, down, reality
Down, down, integrity
I'm sneaking in to get your soul
I'm total mind control!
Down, down, dignity
Down, down, democracy
I've come to sneak into your soul
I'm total mind control!

I will know you better than you do
Before you wake up I'm inside you
You might think that you decide, yeah
But the script comes from my side and
In my "pile of sugar" world
I'll mark you for my profit, yeah!

Down, down, reality
Down, down, integrity
I'm sneaking in to get your soul
I'm total mind control!
Down, down, dignity
Down, down, democracy
I've come to sneak into your soul
I'm total mind control!
I'm total mind control!

I know you better than you do (mind control)
You feel so clever, that's not true!

You're totally mind-controlled!

10. Traveling Through Time

We always have been wanderers
We slept under that stars
There were so few among us
To keep our fires warm
The winter came so early, we saw it as a sign
He led us far from home
Now we're traveling through time

There were so many houses
We had to close our door
To separate and doubt us
And then invent the war
But our hearts stay hungry
We feel we're going blind
We're more than this, believe me
We're traveling through time
Traveling through time

Rise, brothers, rise
We take us by surprise
As part of all the universe
We're traveling through time
Rise, sisters, rise
And take off your disguise
We'll go back to the origin
We're traveling through time
Traveling through time

We're going all through changes
Our world stands never still
We're making our arrangements
And follow our free will
And life is a big riddle, we're making our rhyme
In fact we are so little
We're traveling through time
Traveling through time

Rise, brothers, rise
We take us by surprise
As part of all the universe
We're traveling through time
Rise, sisters, rise
And take off your disguise
We'll go back to the origin
We're traveling through time
Traveling through time

11. Black Room

From somewhere far away
You brought it here to stay
Pandora's Box, unlocked, disturbed
And while we slept at night
It turned off all the lights
We were completely unprepared

We light a candle in this black room
After they locked our house of pain
There is no window in this black room
And from outside we hear the rain

Now we stay lonely home
We mistrust everyone
And live behind our masks unknown
While madness breaks the rules
To separate the fools
So many of us die alone

We light a candle in this black room
After they locked our house of pain
There is no window in this black room
And from outside we hear the rain

One day the clouds may open up
The sun comes out again
And it's breaking out loud
This is what it's about
Then we know that it's the people
The echoes of ourselves

12. Extinction Overkill

In the land of milk and honey
Everything is made of gold
Every day we're making money
And we're never growing old

Endless growth is our mantra
We consume the last resource
And the tree of life, its branches
We will cut them down of course

If we will, if we won't – extinction overkill!
If we do, if don't – extinction overkill!
It's too late for a change – extinction overkill!
It is all long arranged – extinction overkill!

In Siberia's wide expanses
Where the permafrost soil melts
Endless carbon gas is rising
In the atmosphere's belt

That's an unstoppable process
And no matter what we do
If we save or live in excess
Heat is rising, hear the news:

If we will, if we won't – extinction overkill!
If we do, if we don't – extinction overkill!
It's too late for a change – extinction overkill!
It is all long arranged – extinction overkill!
