[Part 1 - Awakening]
Father, oh father you told me to see
The world with my eyes and not just believe
So I was learning from the old books
The wisdom of a time that no-one knows
I've seen our freedom
In the mist of time
The old signs I'll follow
For the day of relief will be yours and mine
Mother, oh mother you told me to go
Where the sun will lead me away from the snow
I have turned for a last goodbye
Now I do know it's my fate to try
I've seen our freedom
In the mist of time
The old signs I'll follow
And the day of relief will be yours and mine
[Part 2 - The Machine]
For years I have been searching
To find the missing blueprint
In corners of my mindscape
Deep inside those shades
The answers are a secret
Forbidden by the black kings
They keep us in this prison
Slavery is our fate
In the dark I can see
What nobody else can see
Oh this world is a cage
How can we all ever be saved?
I'm making my contraption
A strange machine construction
Einstein to Hawking see me
Watch me build your dream
This device makes me go
Where nobody else could go
To the past, to warn you all
So the sword can never fall
I'll change (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days)
the world (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze)
for you (to the days - in the haze of time)
We all will be together again
Flying (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days)
through (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze)
space and time (to the days - in the haze of time)
Laying our hands on the uncertain
I'll change (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days)
the world (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze)
for you (to the days - in the haze of time)
We all will be together again
Flying (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days)
through (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze)
space and time (to the days - in the haze of time)
Laying our hands on the uncertain
"How fragile your childish dreams
Ignorance, ha! It suits you well
No ray of light shall accompany you
For it is darkness, in which you dwell"
[Part 3 - A Parallel Sphere]
All stars falling down
Such gold, such green, gleeful they gather
Stirring the sky like I've never seen
An emerald bee tingles my brow
Until it dissolves into a puny sea
Hear the hollow willow, hear!
Like a miser weep
Like leviathan shrieks
I fear - my delirium's here - it's here and now:
Are there monsters out to get me?
Who will tame or heed their growls?
Who is mocking me, who dares to?
Show your face, come forth now!
This new world you found might seem unreal
Who is mocking me, who dares to?
Mirror to your mind and to your soul
Show your face, come forth now!
We will abduct your senses forever
We will lead you into your dark night
You will give in to all the drugs served here
You will feel like you are dreaming
Slowly you'll forget where you came from
No power left to stay strong
"Yes, it's true...
now you are my creature...
a puppet in my theater of dimensions
The key that will unlock the entire universe to me!
Soon you will do all my bidding
and you will be unable to escape this waking nightmare!
Ha ha ha..."
[Part 4 - A battle of Minds]
I'll take you down with me
And I will steal your memories
You'll never be released
And you will never live in peace
You came here you fool
And now you will serve as my tool
My demons will haunt you
And I will use your powers soon
I'll take you down with me (Laughters rises from the darkness)
And I will steal your memories (Whispers from a smiling carcass)
You'll never be released (Creatures of your childish nightmares)
And you will never live in peace (Grab you with their rotten fingers)
Fear - You came here you fool (Laughters rises from the darkness)
only fear - And now you will serve as my tool (Whispers from a smiling carcass)
Fear - My demons will haunt you (Creatures of your childish nightmares)
is everywhere - And I will use your powers soon (Grab you with their rotten fingers)
Fear - I'll take you down with me (Monsters and ghosts dance with you in a labyrinth)
only fear - And I will steal your memories (Demons and clowns laughing loud while you're suffering)
Fear - You'll never be released (Witches delude you with their dark sorcey)
is everywhere - And you will never live in peace (Taking you down into hell's fiery kitchen)
I can see my strength is fading (We can see your strength is fading)
In my mind, a last chance waiting (In your mind, a last chance waiting)
I will turn my demons back on you (You will turn your demons back on him)
So you want to fight
Yes, I will free my mind
No, you cannot win
Hahaha! I'm not going to give in
What is happening?
Now your creatures are with me
Oh what have you done?
Now it's you has to run!
Oh world,
bright abyss
Let us reminisce
Come dawn's warm embrace
all hearts will be...
Sanctified, saved and whole
Turned away from evil's toll
To free the world from its cage
Lay me down into my grave
I'll change (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days)
the world (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze)
for you (to the days - in the haze of time)
Wish we could be together again
Flying (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days)
through (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze)
space and time (to the days - in the haze of time)
Caged in this parallel dimension
I'll change (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days)
the world (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze)
for you (to the days - in the haze of time)
Wish we could be together again
So fly (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days)
with me (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze)
through space and time (to the days - in the haze of time)
Caged in this parallel dimension
Who dared to mock me? Oh!
I stood my ground
fierce and proud!
Oh let me living die!
The dark's defied
the time is nigh!
Till death does come
till death does come!
[Part 5 - Home in a Dream]
Children, oh children, when you'll be born
Your world will be no longer torn
I will watch your from afar
Down on our little blue star
And you'll see your freedom
In the mist of time
The old signs you'll follow
For the day of relief will be yours and mine
Finally it's yours and mine
