Les paroles

1. I WANT TO BELIEVE

Ask you the question to know
Where we're going and
Try to find out the meaning of existence
Go back to the origins of life
When chaos ruled our fate
None feelings, no love, no hate
They only needed to survive
This era is so far
Million years has passed
But where is the change
Everything is so close
Every man for himself
But in the end?
refrain
I want to believe in our destiny
I see hope in your eyes, I can reach the stars
I want to believe in the magic of life
A world of innocence
Show me its magnificence
Evolution, who has the key
Divine intention or tragedy
Indifference to all
The sun is still shining
And we don't worry
Our world keeps turning
But who pays attention to
Its agony
refrain
I want to believe in our destiny
I see hope in your eyes, I can reach the stars
I want to believe in the magic of life
A world of innocence
Show me its magnificence


2. SALVATION

You wanted to reach another dimension
You just met the forces of nature
Now, only remains your reflection
On those waters where all
Ended in failure
When, the year before, you went to sea
With so many dreams of glory
You did not listened to the elders
Who warned you about the dangers
And you've gone to the dark ocean
Pushed by the wind of madness
To discover a new Eden
At the end of your quest is the salvation
Once you're in the middle of nowhere
Mist is all around
The sun is darkened, you're passing out
The sirens sing their song
Such an enchanting sound
And you've gone to the dark ocean
Pushed by the wind of madness
To discover a new Eden
At the end of your quest is the salvation
Alone in this immensity
All you had is now lost at sea
During many days you wandered
On your ship
You didn't know why you survived
This awful curse
The streams laid you down on the shores
Where you were born
Now come the jeering of those
Who never trusted you
Every day you stare at the horizon
Imploring God for salvation


3. THE COMPROMISED LAND

In this world of confusion
You're walking like a living dead
All your passions have gone
Only misery on your face
When you've gone to this land
With many hopes and dreams
You thought you had not to wait
To make a fortune and be
A pillar of society
Where pity has no place
You didn't want to accept reality
All your prayers are useless
You feel yourself growing weaker
And your despair and your loneliness
Are becoming harder and harder
Burning in your paradise
With so many tears in your eyes
You're awaiting your sacrifice
The evil of greed is the master (of the compromised land)
You have no chance to escape (from the compromised land)
Your soul is burning like fire (in the compromised land)
You're sentenced to wander, here below for eternity
But this land of pain
Seems to have no way out
Alone under the rain
You're dreaming of
A better world where you could
Start another life, have better dreams
This place does not exist
For you it's too late
The evil of greed is the master (of the compromised land)
You have no chance to escape (from the compromised land)
Your soul is burning like fire (in the compromised land)
You're sentenced to wander, here below for eternity


4. DEVILISH RIMES

In the very heart of darkness
Waiting is the book
He who takes a look
Shall fall into madness
Since the mists of time
The power of the dark Scriptures
Is carefully kept inside
Never free its creatures
Curiosity can kill the reckless men
Who are tempting fate when
They try to solve the mystery behind
The dark and devilish rimes
By the ancient story
The Evil wrote these lines
With the blood of the damned
The cover with their skin
Is the Legend true?
Fear the prophecy
Which mortal knows the difference
Deprived of his sense
Curiosity can kill the reckless men
Who are tempting fate when
They try to solve the mystery behind
The dark and devilish rimes


5. IT CANNOT BE REAL

Another day begins for me
Another restless night
I wonder why in my nightmare mankind lost its rights
It's so real, I can feel it
No words, only silence
I'm so afraid, I want to leave
But there's no way out
It cannot be real, I'm away
It cannot be real, I'm away
Every night this dream is haunting me
It's always the same
A woman in black is facing me
Without expression on her face
Her lips are put on mine
Her breath becomes faster
But when I open my eyes
I'm embracing the monster
It cannot be real, I'm away
It cannot be real, I'm away
No one perceives my helpless scream
The creature is behind me
And when she touches my body
I realize it's not a dream
It cannot be real, I'm away
It cannot be real, I'm away
