"Karma"
Dominus Sum Rerum Gestarum MearumHeresque Sum Rerum Omnium A Me Gestarum
Ortus ExNatus ExMeis Factis
Sum Coniunctus Cum Meis GestisMeis Gestis Sum Affirmatus
Tale Monacho Revolvendum estAdiutus his vivo
"Monopoly On Truth"
Nos docti, pensantesSed non semper veridici
At the Zenith of wisdomNo defying myselfTo the point of reactionYou propose and I dispose
I see what you meanIt's clear, what you sayThe truth isn't just a derivative of your viewsTruth is a fiction of your views
These are my thoughtsNo discussionMy righteous plan
Just think it over nowAnother point of viewIt's time we realise our errsWhere is it leading to if nobody sees itThere's never an absolute
Nos doctiSed non semper veridici
I can be so enchantingWith words beset in goldYour senseless demandingYou propose and I dispose
This is the wayNo discussionIn my life
You're in denial
Can we trust all the facts and believe that theFancied wise are just and needed?Do we want to rely on the views of theRighteous ones who are succeeding?If you look all around and see all theThings that are not meant to beThen you know it's time to let them go
Your fury can no longer standThis haunter will come to an endLooking for leftover friends is in vainYou'll be alone again
No more refusalFace it, slow down
It is time for renewalAnd expect no miraclesExpect no miracles when you'reIn an endless fallNo regrets if you're leavingYou're a true deceiverAccept the here and nowOr regret will end up...
Mask of justice, shield of menacing strengthWill not bend, only break
Can't we respect, can't we neglectNo respecting so neglectingThose who are suffering in need of help?Those who suffer, needing our helpYou are the one I wouldn't like to becomeYou are not one I would like to becomeNot at all in the end
Hear our callingCarry me slowlyIn the depths of your lifeFear the thunderFree me from barren fieldsAnd grey thunder liesSemblance FallingUnder that great faadeThe truth loves to hide
Can we trust all the facts and believe that theFancied wise are just and needed?Do we want to rely on the views of theRighteous ones who are succeeding?If you look all around and see all theThings that are not meant to beThen you know it's time to let them go~To let them go
Nos doctiSed plus ScimusNon spernentesQuod dicunt alii
"Storm The Sorrow"
Along the way I find myselfTo be confined within meNo place for any other's mind to interfere,To grasp the meaning of it allTo overcome my limitsAnd dance away from any void and empty tones,
Just tell me whyJust tell me howI can survive this time
Believe yourself and look awayFrom all that's right within youLeave all your worries at the door and drift away,Ive tried to peer into the coreBut could not storm the sorrowMy hollow heart has bled me dry, left me to stray
Another time without a trace,Condemn me nowSend me to hellFor I'm already failing
Intertwine the linesThat swim beneath the darkRealize the pain we live inDemonize the need we reel in, noIn my memories I'll dig deep enough to knowCenturies of dreams unendingAnother me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
No time to ever go to wasteIts not that complicatedYoure free to live your life at easeNo more restrain
No heed for shadows on your wayThat try to steal your laughterYour light will drive them all awayBe confident
Will I refrain?Can I repent?Will you be there?Erase the pageFor Im alone and ailing
Intertwine the linesThat swim beneath the darkRealize the pain we live inDemonize the need we reel in, noIn my memories I'll dig deep enough to knowCenturies of dreams unendingAnother me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
So, this is my lifeAnd it can't break me downGo, I will decideWho can come in and heal my diseaseBurn it in flamesKill it and maimWhy can't you see that you need to be freed?
Intertwine the lines beneath the darkEvery bit of pain we're feelingEvery other solemn life, noIn the memories you will find somehowThere used to be a dream unendingNo more need to be alone
Intertwine the linesThat swim beneath the darkRealize the pain we live inDemonize the need we reel in, noIn my memories I'll dig deep enough to knowCenturies of dreams unendingAnother me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
"Delirium"
Black was the night when I did surrenderI did give in to my weakening sightNow that I'm empty my dreams once were manySoul's bitter cry to unleash th divine
When you think there's no way outAnd all you see collidesHope will in the end chase all your fears away
Fighting the source was not recommendedTrails of a wish were the hope to surviveskins full ablazing release crystal gazingAll of it led to a deeper demise
When you think there's no way outAnd no one comprehendsHope will show your smile again
What I left behindAnother nightOf weary dreams, unravellingWhat's been left behindAnother timeWhere days of late are far awayFar away
Losing my reasons,No lies to believe inLeft the obscure toThe means of escape
Core has been shaken,There is no more pain to break meTime has commenced and I long to awake
When you think there's no way outLeave everything behindYou can live your life anew
Dark days behind meWon't ever break me now
All that I left behindAnother nightOf weary dreams, unravellingWhat's been left behindAnother timeWhere days of late are far away
Far away
Just another nightIn another time
"Internal Warfare"
Would anybody dare to know the answer?Would anybody dare to face the truth?We bide the time awaiting our answersTo our kind
We're all in this apocalypse togetherThe horror we so feared can't be undoneWe all remove allegiance to disasterTragic crime
Life we used to knowEnds where silence comes to us foreverNight will soon bestowJustice on a day that never ends
The percing eyes of bullets' shine run FasterThan peace and understanding can conceiveTo use and to deceive to teach a lessonCross the line
I'm a true believerA soldier with a gunI shall swipe the earth cleanWon't take long
Te Deplangemus - Haud Resistentes - A Te Vexati - Manebimus
I must trust my instinctAnd act on his behalfMy ship is full with waterBut won't go down
"Requiem For The Indifferent"
When silence betrays
We've tried to find a reasonTo go on and cross the lineTell meHow can we justify the actWe've tried to look around andSearch for ways to shift the blameThe escapeFrom moral sense we drift awayWhen we can't have it allWe want it all
With money segregatingThe centers are degradingThe devastationWe feared we'd befallBut soon we'll realize thatWe can get reunitedThis could apply to us all, after allWe'll never find our peace of mindIf we doN't leave the past behindMake up your mind
When silence betrays
We spilled the tears for wretchesAnd for human sacrificeLook at themWe've pushed them through the tiny holesYet still we know we're all responsible
Counting down
The reaodroad to perditionDriving fast and without vision
Parva notes circum teIncorrupta nitidaqueVide, gusta, senti, bibeFormam ex eis captes
We're falling we're ailingCollapse is now drwaing nearerDerailing, the end is nigh
Unravelled, dishvelledThe answer's never been clearerUnlevelled we're standing by
When we finally find the reason to existWe will be able to appreciate the fundamental gifts
Drown, bury, eraseAll that is dividing usDown, parry, negateAll that's keeping us from growthFree the energy enclosed within us
Try to keep on searching for the meaning of our livesFind the only values that can help us in our strifeKeep on searching and be ready when the tides are high
Try to find the philosopher deep within youTrigger and motivate all that matters along your waySeek and find the answers
Wake up your troubled mind
"Guilty Demeanor"
Whenever stories are prescribedthat we could never obelisethen how could anyone supply a doubt
I take you at your word
But the tale could have a flawand if you find yourself in awethen you'll only hunger for the truth
Veritas numquam vincitur ipsane qua dicuntur imprudenter credas
When I'm crucified, taunted and deniedI'll stand strong, with my back against the wall
At times it seems so very hardall that we learned we must discardthat everyone you'd ever trust has lied
When I'm crucified, haunted and defiedI belong to the few that died for all
You cannot question or defyor you'll find out the hard way whyyou'd better run before you walk alone
Veritas numquam vicitur ipsane quae dicuntur imprudenter credassed tua teneas
"Deep Water Horizon"
We have to waitFor a dying dayFull of black decayWe'll find a wayTo become awareBreathing tainted airWe change the lanesIn every second of our lives
We lost our mindsWe'll taste the water brineAll for the silver shineCan't stay the sameShould end this bloody gameBare in the venom rainTo fuel the greed to feed the hungered has it's price
There's the feeling once againThe day where black and white beganAwait the ending of our everlasting violenceWe've all been healing from the painFrom all the misery and constraintWe're inhaling fumes againSo don't deny it
Lies will unwindThe verity you'll findUpon the moor resignedPrimary gainComes with a thousand slainAll for the greater vainWithout the horror causing hazard we'll survive
Whatever lies aheadWe will face tomorrowThen every all delusions end
All of this was foreseenGive inHave to break the chain of grief
YouBorn to be freeYou decideAll are freeTime to chanceNothing or allThe clock is racing onThe pace is very strongOur borrowed time is goneThe dawn of sharing all our power has arrived
We're all inhaling fumes againAnd there the black and white will end
"Stay The Course"
Stay the courseUnregarded what the others thinkfollow through your goals
Stay the coursebe impassive what all the others wantgo your own way
Stand focused, stay strong
Stay the courseand regardless what the critics sayseek your golden road
Stay the coursebe hard and fastreach out, achieve your goalschase your own dreams
stay faithful, prolongVeils that cover the sacred treasuresthat no one dares imbibethose proclaiming different viewswere long ago proscribedI should warn you, it's deadly to abideinstead I taught you to bow and toe the line
Fear is what you breatheDisagreeGuidance what you needFor all the chances you will never seeTrust in me!
Notice the anomalieserase them from your memory
Fight, dismay,deny the disarray!Just keep them far away from you and fightwith all your might!
Stay the courseShow no remorseTerminate all that deters
Veils that cover the sacred treasuresthat no one dares imbibethose proclaiming different viewswere long ago proscribedI should warn you, it's deadly to abideinstead I taught you to bow and toe the line
I should Warn you to never compromiseInstead I want you believing the disguise
"Deter The Tyrant"
Shield the monocrat andbetter fulfill his needs and wield his sordid meansThank you for all, torture and maulwhich only keep it running
We condemn disruptionwe should fight for liberation now!(Liberate us now!)
Breed the egoist andgive him then all he needs and feed his vicious greedthank you, we call for chaosand leave us all alone, resigned
We condemn corruptionwe should fight for abdication now!(Abdicate us now!)
When an action bids retraction to beginyou will feel what it's like to suffer for your sinswe will commence
Yield the ruffian thenGive him the call that he needs and field his children nowfor they'll recall, once and for allthis farce is everlasting
We condemn suppressionwe should fight this aberration now!(Fight suppression now!)
When an action bids retraction to beginyou will feel what it's like to suffer for your sinstemptation has destroyed so many brilliant mindsfate pays the deviant with agony in kind
The lies you've spreadfor blood you've shedyou'll have to justifyEnslaved to reignheartless, insaneyou'll have to pay the price
Words fail now!The truth is hard to comprehend!
Vile secrets were kept in the darkavoiding social unrest
Words fail now!The truth is hard to comprehend!
Wild efforts to gag dissidentswill ever fail in the end
We condemn aggressionwe could find our destination nowfind it here somehow
We will commenceYour chance is now
"Serenade Of Self-Destruction"
Never could seewhat lies deeperseeming that our viewcan't be changeddeciding where to goand believe in your disasterdeleting a future untold
This is the final deceiverthis is the devil in meexpecting deeds in the makingwill show no final relief
ever would we dancewith the reaperseething in a monstrous cageideas meant to placatewhen meeting your disasterare only for a desperate fool
Destructive thoughts to mislead uscan come from deep undergroundBelieving sources unbrokenwill tear the legion apart
Will we be forever free as we unchain our soulsfrom life foreverYou are just a slave to the dust!Another time, where you and me will be freedwith one more last endeavorYou cannot escape your fate now!
No!
Try me, don't deny meplease embrace me in your peaceI want to fly into the brightwould you please guide my last goodbyewhy won't you lie with me, my light's endingon a night when I find, I'll take my final flight
Now come and see divinity where night turns dayso far away from heavenYou will never earn my trust!Provoke the need, give word to deed,and dive into another god-like atmosphereYou will never find your way out!
No!
I'd rather dieThan breathe in my shamethey'll know my nameall hell in flames
For our faithwe proudly die(For it we would die)four our sovereignall hell will arise(Hell will surely rise)
We'll serve our causein earning reward(Earning our reward)Collision of skiesthe ocean wept dry(Every ocean dry)
Another's desperation flying through the emptinessas my degradation throws me out of line
Try me, don't deny meplease embrace me in your peaceI want to fly into the brightwould you please guide my last goodbyewhy won't you lie with me, my light's endingon a night when I find, I'll take my final flight
Take the final flightinto the serenade forever lost in time

12. Avalanche
[Music by Mark Jansen, Isaac Delahaye, Simone Simons][Lyrics by Simone Simons]
Feels like living in a dreamFrom which I cannot wakeVoices leading me astrayCannot hide
Feels like I am growing weakerI cant denyWhatevers hurting meWont leave meHere at easeAnd I can see your secrecyHas gone away
In another timeYou left meFor someone elseWho'd serve your every needAnd set yourWorld apartThe strain is nowUnbearable,Turned me to stone
For all the hardship in my wayHold on, move on
Hear me!Now hide your face while you carry on 'till the grief comesSave your soul from the downfall
To give and take was not an optionYou had to run and sweep it all awayLeave not a heart to mendThat day I cast so far behind, Im moving on
For all the stones thrown in my faceHold on, move on
See me!Now hide your face whileYou carry on till the grief comesSave your soul from the downfall
Feels like living in a dream from which I cannot wakeI dont wanna hideThey are tearing me apartYou cannot pray for laughterYou cannot wake
Degenerate the love and hateWe should always ever keep in mindOur tragedys not far behindKneeling in disaster
Through all the doubt I cant allayHold on, move onNowAs it was meant to beSufferings a travesty
Obliterate our past mistakesWe should never lose sight or we'll findA travesty renewed in timeChasing ever faster
Feels like living in a dream from which I cannot wakeI dont wanna hideThey are tearing me apartYou cannot pray for laughterI cannot decideI cannot wakeI cannot pray
Feels like living in a dreamFrom which I cannot wakeVoices leading me astrayCannot pray
13. Serenade Of Self-Destruction
[Music by Mark Jansen, Isaac Delahaye, Coen Janssen][Lyrics by Simone Simons]
Never could we seeWhat lies deeperSeeming that our viewCan't be changedDeciding where to goAnd believe in your disasterDeleting a future untold
This is the final deceiverThis is the devil in meExpecting deeds in the makingWill show no final relief
Ever would we danceWith the reaperSeething in a monstrous cageIdeas meant to placateWhen meeting your disasterAre only for a desperate fool
Destructive thoughts to mislead usCan come from deep undergroundBelieving sources unbrokenWill tear the legion apart
Will we be forever free as we unchain our soulsFrom life foreverYou are just a slave to the dustAnother time, where you and me will be freedWith one more last endeavourYou cannot escape your fate now
No
Try me, don't deny mePlease embrace me in your peaceI want to fly into the brightWould you please guide my last goodbyeWhy won't you lie with me, my light's endingOn a night when I find, I'll take my final flight
Now come and see divinity where night turns daySo far away from heavenYou will never earn my trustProvoke the need, give word to deed,And dive into another God-like atmosphereYou will never find your way out
No
Try me, don't deny mePlease embrace me in your peaceI want to fly into the brightWould you please guide my last goodbyeWhy won't you lie with me, my light's endingOn a night when I find, I'll take my final flight
I'd rather dieThan breathe in my shameThey'll know my nameAll hell in flamesFor our faithWe proudly dieFor it we would dieFor our sovereignAll hell will ariseHell will surely rise
We'll serve our causeIn earning rewardEarning our rewardCollision of skiesThe ocean wept dryEvery ocean dry
Another's desperation flying through the emptinessAs my degradation throws me out of line
Try me, don't deny mePlease embrace me in your peaceI want to fly into the brightWould you please guide my last goodbyeWhy won't you lie with me, my light's endingOn a night when I find, I'll take my final flight
Take the final flight
14. Nostalgia
[European Bonus Track]
Dying slowly, all aloneHope is gone, the seeds were sownAnother day without a touchAnother dawn with only dusk
But sometimes it rewinds meTo the bliss of languid dreamsTo my precious memoriesTo the mysteries of all I'd never seen
Dying slowly day by dayAnd every colour fades to grayI walk the walls of hell's abyssWith every trail, I will persist
But sometimes it rewinds meTo the bliss of languid dreamsTo my precious memoriesTo the mysteries of all I'd never seen
Why can't you hear me?Release meI'm forgotten and buried
And sometimes it rewinds me toThe innocence that pulls me through
But sometimes it rewinds meTo the bliss of languid dreamsTo my precious memoriesTo the mysteries of all I'd never seen
And sometimes it rewinds meTo the place where the fire's burningAnd sometimes I can daydreamThat I'm freeBut it's just a reverie
15. Twin Flames (Soundtrack Version)
[North American Bonus Track]
You're eternal my love.For me you're all there ever was.Every limit overcome.As we are tangled we are one.
Words are left unsaid burning in my head.Now I only wish I could hold you again.Being there with you I feel at ease.Being there with you is all I ever need,My one belief,We share a common energy.Ive flown a far beyond the sea,To find the other side of me.Ive waited long and patiently,To find the one to balance me.To live without dubietyThis is my covenant to thee
Life feels empty, my love,It pains me so to give you away.Sentence untold never to unfold.Now I only wish I could hold you again.Being there with you I am whole again.Being there with you is all I ever need,My one belief,We share a common energy.Ive flown a far beyond the sea,To find the other side of me.Ive waited long and patiently,To live without dubietyThis is my covenant to thee
My belief.My one belief.
Youre all I need, my one belief.The winds of time will carry me.To live without dubietyDont let this ever end
[Chorus:]We flown a far beyond the sea,To find each other finally.Weve waited long and patientlyTo build a bridge between dualities

Nos sumus conjunctiFontem nostram quaerentesOriginem sciendi

2. The Second Stone
O, ne moriar bisOro supplex
Sometimes I feel like my reason is weakeningMy inner clock's forcing time to stand stillI'm breaching borders between life and sanityThat's when it all starts to shatter in front of me
Liberate meWhy don't you liberate me?
Sometimes I feel I'm betraying my memoryThis time it seems that I'm losing the fightFinding it hard to be consciously part of lifeThat's when awareness and dreams start to separate
Reunite meIt's time to reunite me
As time goes by I hide the truthCannot stand myself with a broken shellAs time goes by I try to chooseDon't know where to roam in this private hellGive me reliefLet me believe between sweet fiction and reality
My train of thoughts got lost somewhere along the wayI'm chasing shadows that cross on my pathRepeating visions that dance faster than my mindCan't stop the rain casting shadows on my parade
Can't defeat meI will not bow to defeat
As time goes by I hide the truthCannot stand myself with a broken shellAs time goes by I try to chooseDon't know where to roam in this private hellGive me reliefLet me believe between sweet fiction and reality
Ne moriar bis
Another life, another mind close to insanityAnother road, a cryptic code the second stoneAll that is left is a cross that's mine to bearA curse with no ending drenched in anxiety
O, ne discedam bisOro supplex
As time goes by I hide the truthCannot stand myself with a broken shellGive me reliefLet me believe between sweet fiction and realityAs time goes by I try to chooseDon't know where to roam in this private hellGive me reliefLet me believe between sweet fiction and reality
Ne moriar bis
3. The Essence Of Silence
Something is wrongMy strength has goneThoughts are corrupting my mind
I can see I perceive this aint me
Something so strongMy mood has swungI cant get it out of my head
I believe that my mind misleads me
(We confuse)Is it a doubt you try to hide(Tangle and abuse)Just have an open look inside(We appear)Its just a dreary memory stuck in your mind(Memory stuck in your mind)
Retrieve your balanceUse your senses to observe(The essence of silence)Search for essenceFind the silence within you(The essence is)
Youre searching and burstingThere seems to be no cureWhen tension enduresDelusions corrupting my mind
I can see I perceive this aint me
There seems to be no wayWhen light fades to greyTo get them all out my head
I believe that my mind misleads me
(We confuse)Is it a doubt you try to hide(Tangle and abuse)Just have an open look inside(We appear)Its just a dreary memory stuck in your mind(Memory stuck in your mind)
Retrieve your balanceUse your senses to observe(The essence of silence)Search for your essenceFind the silence within you(The essence is)
Make a startExplore your heart
When a persistent memoryPenetrates deep in your mindAllow the silence to destroyYour thoughts in every kind
(We confuse)Is it a doubt you try to hide(Tangle and abuse)Just have an open look inside(We appear)Its just a dreary memory stuck in your mind(Memory stuck in your mind)
Retrieve your balanceUse your senses to observe(The essence of silence)Allow the silenceTo wipe your thoughts away
Retrieve your balanceUse your senses to observe(The essence of silence)Search for essenceFind the silence within you(The essence lies IN SILENCE)
4. Victims Of Contingency
Your words are meaningless, as pain fills the voidHollow words won't hurt no longerYou will regret every life you've destroyedBlaming the whole world will never make you stronger
Be prepared for the righteous self
If you blame all your failures on someone elseWithout any remorseWithout your remorseIf you don't face the weakness of your own selfYou will take the same courseYou'll take the same courseYour deeds are reasonless, you adore yourselfEmpty deeds impress no longerYou will regret everyone you've enviedBlaming it on life will never make you stronger
Be prepared for the confrontation
If you blame all your failures on someone elseWithout any remorseWithout your remorseIf you don't face the weakness of your own selfYou will take the same courseYou'll take the same courseIf you blame all your failures on someone elseYou avoid every chanceYou've lost your last chanceTo learn from yourself
If you blame all your failures on someone elseWithout any remorseWithout your remorseIf you don't face the weakness of your own selfYou will take the same courseYou'll take the same course
We can't blame all our failures on someone elseFor our own protectionSo much to protectWe can't learn from decisions in our own livesWithout self-reflectionWe will never flee from contingency
We will never flee from contingency

6. Unchain Utopia
We're in a time where all enterprises fallWe should beware of the wolves that haunt usThey are not all the same, cannot take the blameAwait the time to unchain utopia
Am I the only one who sees the troubled lines?Reading illusive writings on the mirrorIs there a way that we can all erase mistakes and start anew?Don't mislead us and stop stabbing with blunt knives
Liberty unchained
We're in a time where all enterprises fallWe should beware of the wolves that haunt usThey are not all the same, cannot take the blameAwait the time to unchain utopia
What is a reason to wreck hopes and all our dreams?You're leaving endless riddles for the massesDoes it make sense to mend the cracks that you hide behind our backs?It's afflicted by a virus of the brain
Liberty unchainedRecite the insane
We're in a time where all enterprises fallWe should beware of the wolves that haunt usThey are not all the same, cannot take the blameWe should beware of the lives that are at stakeBefore it's all too late
Can we believe it all?Should we all take the fall?Our backs against the wallUnited we stand tall
Why should we all believe you?Carry your own burdenWe won't succumb toYour delusion now
We're in a time where all enterprises fallWe should beware of the wolves that haunt usThey are not all the same, cannot take the blameAwait the time to unchain utopia
Why should we all believe you?Carry your own burdenWe won't succumb toYour deceiving gamesConquer the insaneUnited we stand tallTime to free ourselves once more from the ball and chain
7. The Fifth Guardian - Interlude -
[Instrumental]
8. Chemical Insomnia
Everlasting nights leave all views behindLimits will become less clear andA misty memory played out in a dreamThis endeavor is causing fear
That's why I can't explainThis is stabbing painCome undone in nightly rhymingIt's time for me to roll the dice
Absent sanctity is shifting gravity
Addiction's growing faster, making you go insaneIvory fangs are smiling, you'll have to break the habitImprisonment's approaching, catching the savagesThe mirror's magic showing chemical insomnia
Don't give in to all of thisDive into ecstatic blissTame the lion that's hiding the need to be free
Waking sunset finds, making restless mindsWistful moments need enclosureA new hysteria is fading gravityWhich is slowly taking over
That's why I can't unwindAll thoughts alignedFloating on rivers that are dryingI fear the beast is rising high
Your intuition's fading, a thumping sound impedesThe daybreak is awaking chemical insomnia
Don't give in to all of thisDive into ecstatic blissDon't you believe what the sands of time seeTame the lion that's hiding the need to be freeAnd the monsters that consume your energyYour barbaric puppets live between the cracks of lies from hate revivedSilver secrets shining through the nightAn enslaved fool in search of burning light from medicine contrivedGolden treasures turning off the lights
Forbidden fruit tastes better when it can numb the brainThe outcome of the future is looking quite insaneWhite bricks and darkened stones are building the fundamentThe silence's calling out for chemical insomnia
Don't give in to all of thisDive into ecstatic blissTame the lion that's hiding the need to be freeAnd you should not believe what the sands of time seeFree the lion that's hiding your identity
Fight the monsters that consume your entity
9. Reverence - Living In The Heart -

11. Canvas Of Life
A thousand signs declinedThat traveled through lightTranslate this mysteryThat covered my eyesAccept approaching fearAnd courage appearsDeath is a certaintyIt's growing near
Letting go is fateful
Uniting broken rhymesThat visions dividePainting my memoriesThat colored my life
Somewhere safe and shelteredSaved forever
Stuck in the light of dayWaiting for answersA seed that grew into branchesAnother page has turned, ended a letterCome on home and return to the canvas of life
Shapes and boundariesWill not disappearDetangle the miseryAnd enter new spheres
Facing right and wrongWhile waiting for lifeCan't change this destinyThe curtain's close by
While your leaves descendedEarth starts to unfold
Stuck in the light of dayWaiting for answersA seed that grew into branchesAnother page has turned, ended a letterCome on home and return to the canvas of life
You're falling downWhile my fortune's aliveWe're safe and sound on the groundTime to found new memories
The stains come alive where the paint has gone dryYou float above looking down reaching out to meDepicting a beautiful scene that shapes divinity
Stuck in the light of dayWaiting for answersA seed that grew into branchesAnother page has turned, ended a letter
I'll come on homeI'm in the light of dayQuestions were answeredA new life's arms are extendingThe final page has turned, sending the letterCome on homeAnd I'll sing you the song has painted your canvas of life
12. Natural Corruption
Natural corruption
Another day passed by in ruined paradiseAnother night will pass until we're shelteredWe're aiming for a life that won't be compromisedAnd when we say goodbye it's devastating
Now that we have finally realizedRealized, petrifiedThat profit's made from innocent demiseProfit's made from tragic demise
Another day goes by where money won't sufficeA massive gift was meant as contributionOur conscience comes to aid that ends up in wrong handsAnd once the truth's revealed, intent is fading
Now that we have come to realizeRealized, sanctifiedOur hearts subdued by all those thousand criesHearts subdued by all those fierce cries
In moments of deadly gloomYoung lives ended way too soonThe facts that are all untrueSpread lies that wew not thought through
Fight off the catastrophesFind true inned sanctityIn modern societyWelfare is stained, time to come clean again
Feast on sheer agoneLean on generosityPay in full, it all will vanish without careGrant us higher proceeds
We'll ease your mind, guaranteedWe should all be reaching out to the despaired
Natural corruptionCharity
Can you believe itHow nature's left its traceCould we foresee itWhat skies erased
We all are tryingWe all are dying in nature's arms...
In moment of deadly gloomYoug lives ended way too soonThe facts that are all untrueSpread lies that were not thought through
Fight off the catastrophesFind true inner sanctityIn modern societyNothing to hide, lives to obtainWelfare is stained, time to come clean again

14. In All Conscience
[Digipack Additional Track]
Allow me to write my final wordsI can't stand this anymore
Hold me when the time has come'Cause I don't want to be alone
In my heart you're still hereIt's the bond that we shareI can feel you're around everywhereEven though you are goneOur spirit is strongWe're honouring all the work that you've done
When there's no chance for a defenseI'll have to bend and give it all
All that I've been standing forWas an illusion after all
In my heart you're still hereIt's the bond that we shareI can feel you're around everywhereEven though you are goneOur spirit is strongWe're honouring all the work that you've done
I'll see you somewhere again, away from all insanityWe can't beat injustice, now and for allI'll see you somewhere again, away from humanityWe can't beat unfairness now on our own
Even though you are goneOur spirit is strongI've felt you around all along
In my heart you're still hereIt's the bond that we shareI can feel you're around everywhereEven though you are goneOur spirit is strongWe're honouring all the work that you've done
I'll see you somewhere again, away from all insanityWe can't beat injustice, now and for allI'll see you somewhere again, away from humanityWe can't beat unfairness now on our own
15. Dreamscape
[Earbook Additional Track]
Try and define eternityNo beginning and no endA world upside downCountless clouds on the groundI'm a figment of my imagination
Hunt for tricks of lightThoughts painting colourful dimensions
If we could roam through fantasiesNo more dusk and no more dawnEvery little grain of sand shapes the endless landMirrors showing limitless reflections
Hunt for tricks of lightThoughts painting new dimensionsYou can make our time stand stillCome and read the skyFly with the wings of true emotion
And this time againIt won't be the sameSilent symphonies playing eternallyEvery step I take, every bone I breakEvery memory shares a symphony
Hunt for tricks of lightThoughts painting new dimensionsYou can make our time stand stillCome and read the skyFly with the wings of true emotion
16. Memento
[Vinyl Additional Track]
[Music: Arin Van Weesenbeek & Epica, Lyrics: Simone Simons]
A soul in flames inventing crimeA soul at pace against new times
Her face in red outrules the lawThe eyes got caught in devil's claws
Entice me, beguile meLost track of my own sanityBehind me a souvenirMy conscience will show no remorse
(Keep on losing intrinsic battles)You'll be suffering(Your atonement will keep you captive)I will feed the beast(Losing battles, poisoned applesDid you find what you're looking for?)
In secret silencePracticed violenceName the damnedGravitating around the fire that burns the sand
A soul in flames invents the hunt
Ignite meWhat's left of meI relish your sweet innocenceTheir graces enlighten meDetaining the sins of our past
(Keep on losing intrinsic battles)I'll come back for more(Did you find what you're aiming for?)
In secret silencePracticed violenceName the damnedGravitating around the fire that burns the sandThe secret shining keeps on turningImprisons me
A soul in flames inventing crimeA soul at pace against new times
SeeHorrid nightsTurn down their lightsSacrificed(Losing battlesPoisoned applesDid you find what you're asking for?)
In secret silencePracticed violenceName the damnedGravitating around the fire that burns the sandThe secret shining keeps on turningImprisons meChasing hunger, a demon's thunderIs wounding lambs
17. Banish Your Illusion
[iTunes Additional Track]
When all hope is goneOur world will fall to piecesVisions are defeated and beatenAll our dreams will come to an endCannot pretend
Another chance for this dominionA rose reborn through new opinions
Show progress with firm deedsFulfill our wishes and needs
A sovereign came forth from ashesA savior who would lead the masses
Entrance us with wise wordsAnd shine your light upon usShow progress with firm deeds
Grant us our wishesCan you save us now our world will endCrave us now 'cause no one's daringLiberate the promised land
The tables will be turningThe time has come to free ourselvesCan't you banish your illusion now?
Another chance, a prophecy toldA bliss arose, the sound of new hope
Entrance us with wise wordsAnd shine your light upon usShow progress with firm deedsGrant us our wishesCan you save us now our world will end
Crave us now 'cause no one's daringLiberate the promised landThe tables will be turningThe time has come to free ourselves
Won't you banish your illusion now?When all hope is goneOur world will fall to piecesVisions are defeated and beaten
All our dreams will come to an endCannot pretendDropped in a field of enemiesFear won't get another chance
Can you sense how provoked sly snake conspire?Beware of the stabYour back will be the targetThis fierce retribution won't expireBe prepared!
Can you save us now our world will endCrave us now 'cause no one's daring
Liberate our promised landThe tables will be turningSave us now there won't be peaceWaive your hope 'cause no one's caring
Sail away across the seasThe promise will be burningThe time has come to face the factsWe're on the edge of a relapseWill you banish your illusion now?
When all hope is goneOur world will fall to pieces
Visions are defeated and beatenAll our dreams will come to an endEmancipate all of this reprobate land
18. Mirage Of Verity
[Japanese Additional Track]
Hate me as I amFor what I stand for and achieveHate me as I amFor all the lies that you believe
Break the spellDefeat the silenceWe can't lose ourselves in reticence
Can't feel my heartCan't feel my soulAll I have done has been controlledIt's time to break free
Can't live my lifeLike this no moreAll I have done has been ignoredIt's time to break free
Hate me as I amFor all the wounds that I can't healBring me down to justiceFor the truth that I've revealed
Break the spellDefeat the silenceWe can't lose ourselves in retinence
Can't feel my heartCan't feel my soulAll I have done has been controlledIt's time to break free
Can't live my lifeLike this no moreAll I have done has been ignoredIt's time to break free
We cannot free ourselvesAs long asThe truth won't get a chanceTo break through pseudo-omniniscence
Can't feel my heart no moreCan't feel my soulAll I have ever done was mind controlledBreak out, be freeCan't live my life this wayI can't, no moreAll I have ever done has been ignoredBreak out, be free
Can't feel my heartCan't feel my soulAll I have done has been controlledIt's time to break free
Can't live my lifeLike this no moreAll I have done has been ignoredIt's time to break free
