Chasing a Dream
05:58
|
|||
Hear the howling of the wind
Feel it blowing through your hair
One step closer to the edge
Just one more and you’ll fly
You’ve got nothing left to lose
No one can tell you what to do
So take a leap of faith
And prepare for your rebirth
From here to wherever
It’s your decision to make
No one can tell you what to do or how to live
From here to wherever
It’s your decision to make
There is no right or wrong in the minds of the free
Chasing a dream
Down the rabbit hole
You can be whatever
Chasing a dream
Just keep on dreaming or you’ll fall
I heard the howling of the wind
I felt its kiss upon my skin
I took the final step
And soared on through the skies
I had nothing left to lose
No one could tell me what to do
I took a leap of faith
And now I am reborn
From here to wherever
It’s my decision to make
No one can tell me what to do or how to live
From here to wherever
It’s my decision to make
There is no right or wrong in the minds of the free
Chasing a dream
Down the rabbit hole
You can be whatever
Chasing a dream
Just keep on dreaming or you’ll fall
[solo]
From here to wherever
It’s our decision to make
No one can tell us what to do or how to live
From here to wherever
It’s our decision to make
There is no right or wrong in the minds of the free
Chasing a dream
Down the rabbit hole
You can be whatever
Chasing a dream
Just keep on dreaming or you’ll fall

Queen of the Moon
05:20
|
|||
Spellbound by your flame; dreadful incandescence
Emotions running wild; love and hate collide
Ever dreaming, ever feeling in the stasis of my mind
Imprisoned in shadows, I stumble and fall
Shine your light
Soulbound by your bite, my dear
Crimson rivers drown my fear
Sinking down into the dark pits of your eyes
Pain and pleasure drags me down, as you mock me with your crown
An invitation to eternal night
And then I fell down to my knees
I saw you smile as you watched me bleed
The light that shone upon my heart
Slowly fades away
I pledged my allegiance
To the queen of the moon
What I would give to feel her presence once again
Memories burning eternally
The blessing you bestowed on me
Disguised a curse as cruel as thee
Forever waiting, though in vain
I try to numb the pain
I pledged my allegiance
To the queen of the moon
Watching the world go down in flames
I dream and reminisce about a time long ago
When you were here
This is my requiem

Astral Prison
06:46
|
|||
Suspended in a sunless void outside of time
My past and future coincide before my eyes
Fractal visions of my life, a kaleidoscope of pain
Witnessing my funeral, I scream but no one hears
I hear voices tantalizing me
All my choices haunting me
I can’t break free (from this purgatory)
Stuck in the wheel of life
Can’t find the key (to this penitentiary)
I live and die again in the astral prison
Spiralling down into the darkness of my mind
Where demons dance upon the remnants of my joy
Without a fight I drink the poison they provide
Then I’m reborn only to do it all again
I hear voices tantalizing me
All my choices haunting me
I can’t break free (from this purgatory)
Stuck in the wheel of life
Can’t find the key (to this penitentiary)
I live and die again in the astral prison
[Solo]
I can’t break free (from this purgatory)
Stuck in the wheel of life
Can’t find the key (to this penitentiary)
I live and die again
I can’t break free (from this purgatory)
Stuck in the wheel of life
Can’t find the key (to this penitentiary)
I live and die again
I can’t break free
There’s no way out for me
Stuck on repeat
In the astral prison

Among the Stars
05:37
|
|||
A flicker of light in the darkness of eternity
A glimmer of hope in the eyes of a child
Piercing the skies, it’s a wonder of technology
Into the void you go alone
A moment of truth for the future of humanity
Singing along to the music of spheres
Standing in awe as you bend the laws of gravity
Watching the skies, we feel alive
Alive!
Leaving everything behind
For the knowledge of mankind
Ancient gods and birds of prey
Took us where we are today
Men and women of the stars
Investigating life on Mars
These are the heroes of our time
Their contributions are sublime
Among the stars
There are secrets to be found
Inside your heart
There’s a dream to lead the way
Since the dawn of history
We’ve tried to solve this mystery
Are we alone, or could it be
Life’s just too far away to see
Among the stars
There are secrets to be found
Inside your heart
There’s a dream to lead the way
Like paper planes in a dream
Gliding onwards to worlds unseen
How small we all seem to be
When you’re face to face with infinity
Will you find any answers?
Or questions still unasked?
Beyond the black
[Solo]
Among the stars
There are secrets to be found
Inside your heart
There’s a dream to lead the way
Among the stars
There are secrets to be found
Inside your heart
There’s a dream to lead the way

The Beast Within
06:00
|
|||
Boiling blood flowing through my veins
I can’t let it out, it must be contained
Carefully I put on a mask
Don’t let them see what we all hide
The rage it won’t subside, it’s festering inside
Night after night my thoughts ignite
How long can I sustain the lie?
Blinded by my own frustration
Primal fury’s growing inside, tainting my mind
By the hunger I must abide
Twisted and foul, restless I howl
The beast within is now without
Cover my shame with riches and smiles
But I can’t escape the truth that’s inside
We fancy ourselves superior beings
And yet here we are, slaves to the fire
Trapped inside a cage
I’m filled with lust and rage
I wriggle and writhe, I want to break out
Tear away the night
And still I’m…
Blinded by my own frustration
Primal fury’s growing inside, tainting my mind
By the hunger I must abide
Twisted and foul, restless I howl
The beast within is now without
Oh, embracing the bestial flow
Free my spirit and let go
Why do you fear your natural self?
Lose control and be free
Blinded by my own frustration
Primal fury’s growing inside, tainting my mind
By the madness I must abide
Blinded by my own frustration
Primal fury’s growing inside, tainting my mind
By the madness I must abide
Twisted and foul, restless I howl
The beast within is now without

Transcension
05:48
|
|||
Shackled by our Darwinian brains
Evolution can’t keep up
This modern world is no place
For the hunter-gatherer
We could shape the world anew
Revolutionize our lives
Cure the old, abolish pain
With the help of science
The future belongs to the brave
The technological singularity
A beginning, not an end
Eternal life is no dream
In time it will be real
Take a look at where we are
We’ve already come so far
Carry on and lead the way
For the march of progress
The future belongs to the brave
Blur the lines between man and machine
The future lies somewhere in between
Load the dice for every single gene
A paradise with a synthetic sheen
[Solo]
The future belongs to the brave
Blur the lines between man and machine
The future lies somewhere in between
Load the dice for every single gene
A paradise with a synthetic sheen

Where I Belong
04:50
|

Far beyond insanity
Is our way of destiny
I wanna break out from this evil curse
In this reality
We lost our sense of dignity
Will we ever learn?
Take my heart
Guide me to the stars
Take me where I belong
Tonight the sky is clear
I gaze up to the stars
I try to hold back my tears
Cause this world has no place for a heart
Hold your ground
Don’t let shadows push you down
If you believe then tomorrow you will see
No matter how it seems
Just follow your dreams
A day will come, when fantasy is real
Take my heart
Guide me to the stars
Take me where I belong
Tonight the sky is clear
I gaze up to the stars
I try to hold back my tears
Cause this world has no place for a heart
The sky is clear
I gaze up to the stars
No place for a heart

Read the Signs
05:55
|
|||
World at war, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
You’re gonna die
You hear the bells toll, the end has come
Ruins in fire, an endless sight
Wherever you run, wherever you go
The evil spirits will conquer your soul
Man turns to beast, they prey and they feast
No new horizon, no salvation
Too late, my friend, to repent
Your deeds are done
We’ll die as one
I send this prayer to you back in time
Heed the call and read the signs
Don’t close your eyes and turn your head away
Look for tomorrow today
High in the sky the white dove flies
Untouched, with wings of innocence
Looking down at a world built of lies
Following orders, their defence
Too late, my friend, this is the end
Your deeds are done
Your war is won
I send this prayer to you back in time
Heed the call and read the sign
I send this prayer to you back in time
Heed the call and read the signs
Don’t close your eyes and turn your head away
Time for a change today
