1. INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. THE DEVIL IN YOUR HEART

A perfect lie, a game that never changes
Vicious circle of life
Deceived by hollow lies
Lost and found, you reach again.
You will never make it on your own.

Turn the wheel of time
Your moment of truth could last forever

The devil in your heart is leaving now
You swallow pride to realise that
Treasures come from heart and not from gold

Dreaming of a world of your own
In a circle of pride,
Pretending you don't care.
Be a lie, mime a fool!
You masquerade a life that once was true.

Turn the wheel of time.
Your moment of truth could last forever

The devil in your heart is leaving now
You swallow pride to realise
Hands of time

In the end, then you're rising
From the blinding shadow,
Freed from life that you once lived alone
Seasons come and seasons go
I too was lost, and so
It took my life away from me

You rise to be a better man
Your inner war is through
Let the light of day wake up you,
Spend your worries!

Step behind and look into
The mirror in a world where you're a fool

Turn the wheel of time
Your moment of truth could last forever

The devil in your heart is leaving now
You swallow pride to realise

Heartless intensions
Hearts break in two

These are the words of a woman I knew
Felt my heartless intensions grow cruel
End of the line,
The shortest straw
Never again shall I lie
I gave my sacred vow
In the trying to break out
It always seems
That you will stay behind there for ever
Never again did I lie


3. ONCE WE WERE HERE

I wield the story of these wasted lands
Memories buried in the past, fantasies and dreams
Guide you through adventures beyond your mind, oh, oh
Flowers grew before the tragic fire

I see the scarlet skies crashing down before my eyes.
Is this the end is this the final call?
The earth is cracking through the lands.
Heavens are falling down.
Erratic skylines drawing near.

I had a dream with smoke and fire, tragic scenes,
A lucid nightmare, the ending was surreal.
I see the dark embrace the light.
Insidious, the skies.

And so the end arrives.
Universe collapse in time.
Is this the end, the final call?
See lightning flashes through the night
Loosing perspective of time.
Transcended souls lost in despair.

I had a dream with smoke and fire, tragic scenes,
A lucid nightmare, the ending was surreal
I see the dark embrace the light
Insidious, the skies

In those times of complications I cried.
Trapped in time with this broken mirror;
The world's a broken figure
Once we were here

I wield the story of these wasted lands.
Memories buried in the past, fantasies and dreams
Guide you through adventures beyond your mind.
Flowers grew before the tragic fire.

I see the past that never comes to be.
History ends in misery,
Memories and dreams


4. PANDORA'S BOX

Evil clowns in the hall.
Crucified adults are hung on the ceiling around,
And a sorceress fights
Genies descended from heaven.
Magical, mystical
Fountains with human blood.
She looks in the mirror; what does she see?
Her mother making tea for noon

She unleashed an evil force.
It may seem the world will fall in days.
Evil's free.
Unleashing the power that hides in Pandora
Is the first step of seven that leads you to hell.

Little girl held the box.
All her fantasies would soon
Be transcended to life.
What could be there inside?
She was obsessed by her treasure.
Magical, mystical.
What did she see inside?
Her blue little eyes were longing to see
Strange voices calling from long ago.

She unleashed an evil force.
It may seem the world will fall in days.
Evil's free.
Unleashing the power that hides in Pandora
Is the first step of seven that leads you to hell.

Julie, what you do can affect us all.

When the box is open wide
Nothing will be the same again.
Reach out for love
Fight for life.

Hiding there alone inside:
A girl without a memory.
Dark is all around,
But people dream of sunset horizons.
The world has fallen.
The seven headed beast is collecting the souls.

She unleashed an evil force.
It may seem the world won't be the same.
Evil reign.
Unleashing the power that hides in Pandora
Is the first step of seven that leads you to hell

Julie, what you do can affect us all

Hiding from the world outside
A girl without a memory
Dark is all around,
But people dream of sunset horizons
This is the final turning around
The world has fallen
The seven headed beast is collecting the souls


5. THE ADVENTURES OF ARCAN

Father's hand on son,
Telling life can't always be that easy.
The things that I must do
Jeopardise my life with you

Once the screens have fed the masses,
Spread the secret that limits their lives&..

Lights ahead, I failed the mission of my life.
My skin dissolves, my soul will last forever.
Lights all around, I feel serenity.
But something's hunting me from inside.
The torrent is on I will play their game.

I am your angel here to guide you.
Come with me, you're not alone!

Life flash before my eyes
Until my last endeavour
Failed me.
I've come to realize
I have to rectify.

Searching for redemption still
Until my final victory.
I'll haunt them in their sweetest dreams.
Screams echo in silence.
Lights all around, I feel serenity.
But something's hunting me from inside.
Hunters and hunted I'm one of them.

And so I search the night
To find their evil faces.
Ending me in the best part of my life
Will haunt you endlessly

You turned your face from love to evil
Time to see your family

I see the teardrops falling gently down their faces
Our story ended all too soon, oh no
And it's all because of lies.

Mother's hand on son,
Telling life can't always be that easy
I too wish this undone,
But we have to get through

See the world from after life, I'm flying.
Mystical life!
I have a vision that pierces all lies.
I see the puzzle to our life.
World in my eyes!

Emotional impact, departure of love.
How I crave for revival,
To hold my loved ones
And keep them away from the wolves.

I keep calling your name in despair
Hoping answers will appear.
Tell me, how did we get lost inside this maze?

Five to three,
Both the rifles in their position.
I go down.
Two to three,
I have reached my final decision:
I will make the call.
When I pick up the lobby phone
My wife appears
She approaches a smiling face

As I gaze upon my love
All the light has made me blind.
My angel cries and fights for my life,
Memories unfold.

I was traveling through great dimensions
While people were gathering around me.
The attention was won,
But all I had worked for was gone.

See the world from after life, I'm flying.
Mystical life!
I have a vision that pierces all lies.
I see the puzzle to our life.
World in my eyes!

Look out the window,
Look at the stars.
Will you ever find an answer there?
Look at my picture,
Look in my eyes.
Will you wish upon a star to make me strong?

I search Lou Cypher
Offering souls of evil
For redemption.
When I'm back
I need my life.

Now with demonic force
I have the face of evil.
Agony, with the last breaths of their lives
Has been their destinies.

Come back to us
We need you so

Sometimes it seems
That the unreal
Has happened anyway.
And when I'm walking through their door
Looking at their faces
Fades my pain away
