Lyrics


1. WELTSCHMERZ

Without a compass
Drifting
The earth just keeps getting smaller

So far away
Far enough
Not to hear what they say
Mirror, mirror on the wall
What do you have for me today ?

A wide smile
For a little while
The cup is full
Just one more drop...

What do you see when your eyes are closed ?
What do you feel
When your eyes are closed ?
Dig real deep way down
A path real step
Is often closer

The man with the scissors
Does not only exist in your dreams

Senses, challenge your senses
The will to ignore and the strength to move on

Why does reality not co-operate
Too many illusions

What do you see when your eyes are closed ?
What do you feel
When your eyes are closed ?
Dig real deep way down
A path real step
Is often closer


2. ARETE

(Instrumental)


3. THE STRANGLER'S NOOSE COILS QUICKLY

A sea of hands and red steam
Like a painting, surreal...

The ricochet of violence
Back and forth
He's the last man standing
The true man will fall

Holding on to arms torn off
With good will, time will be good ?

He who holds unreason
For virtue
He who strives for loss
Without reward

Trying to comprehend
A split second too late
Waiting for the man within
Microscopical view

No hope in the face of the reborn
The wings of the other spread out

He is the one
Everyone would enjoy
Seeing to die, it's getting critical
Praying for him
Who let his guard down
A journey with a closed mind
To a place where there is no time
Look into the mirror and realize
This is how death materialize

Shifting focus
Avoiding, denying
That which does not more
Endlessly pointless

Resisting the urge to stand a line
Breaking the vicious circle of decline

Trying to comprehend
A split second too late
Waiting for the man within
Microscopical view

No hope in the face of the reborn
The wings of the other spread out

He is the one
Everyone would enjoy
Seeing to die, it's getting critical
Praying for him
Who let his guard down
A journey with a closed mind
To a place where there is no time
Look into the mirror and realize
This is how death materialize

Diving donkeys
Don't envy the clown
Great in success
But what about tomorrow ?
Come with me on a trip to the limits of space
Fly little bird, this very decisive moment
Being your worst enemy helps


4. ETERNAL RETURN

(Instrumental)


5. CRUSADE INDULGENCE

We see no grass, no falling leaves
We are searching for the fahers of our sons
In my head an unwanted passenger
Only the wolves follow our path

We march over fields of stone
We have already tried to disguise the facts
Our torches lit
The day might turn to night

We close our eyes and let this hour pass


6. SLAVE SOLDIER

(Instrumental)


7. A SECRET TOO WELL KEPT

As if written on a wall
A flamming kiss deeply touches you

Suddenly painfully present
Repressed emotions
Making greater demands

Unspeakable
Confessing
Out of nowhere
Rising nobly over

Hidden from the sun, beyond the walls
Feast your eyes
Only one answer :
The depth of your dedication

Since long forgiven
Never forgotten
Those empty boxes
A world lost in itself

When the dust settles
Holding on to what remains
Planned and staged
That which cures all... forever

This is the hour
This is the moment
You look at her angel-like face
And believe every word that she says.

You like making questions, don't you ?
Can I ask you one ? Do you want gold ?
Every word brings you


8. NEVER FOREVER

(Instrumental)


9. THE PROMISED LAND

To be right doesn't help
A secret only ours
Avoiding alliance
With blue division
From now until then
To quit while still ahead
Reversed, beyond, forgotten
Golden eyes, iron smile

[Chorus]
Defect hours blame it on the minute
Collecting the pieces of an ancient force that never was
One life, three dead, assuming more is the way
To the promised land

Patiently searching, wanting confrontation
While the real war is fought at home
Looking for rich towns, another world
These towns don't lie and never will

[Chorus]

Promised land
Promised land

[Chorus]


10. EMPTY SOLACE

(Instrumental)


11. THE RIGHT TO RESURRECT

In every cloud a flash of lightning
With every yes follow a no
Moving all too cautiously
Afraid to split all into two

They have already chalked my body on the street
Mistrusting the world of reality
Bought me another day

Accepting the right to resurrect
With time and the right attitude
The laughing walls turns on itself
