Lyrics


1. GALLERY OF REALITY (RADIO MIX)

The temperature sank below zero
And the seas became giant mirrors
And trees formed a crystal splendour
The world is frozen to the core

Take my hand and walk with me
Through the corridors of snow and ice
Through a gallery of reality
History unfolds before your eyes

There, between the exhibited bodies
Framed by frozen blood
Her skin scabrous, once so soft
That must be the one, the one I once loved


2. PREMEDIDATED DYING

Search for alternative ways to satisfy the mind
Desperate to glance on the other side of life
Addicted to work up feelings of an unknown kind
Evoke emotions connected to a thousand-meter dive

I would die a bit, so I could reach the afterlife
Trusted there would be, something beyond our comprehension
I would live a bit, so I could fight my psychedelic strife
Hoping to survive, to tell about this unknown dimension

Passions no longer kept in hand, a burning desire for more
Like the sea encroaching on the land until I die
Like a ship that got wrecked and washed upon the shore

"In twisting tunnels of divine light
The angels sang a hymn for you
While spirits danced side by side
Then I knew: I had made my dream come true"


3. LIFELINE (ACOUSTIC VERSION)

One silver streak, and darkness is cut
When lines populate the earth
A clew of chaos, of brand-new souls but
soaked in pleasures and dirt

As the spinning wheel of life decides each fate
And leads life lines to its spools
Where they are beginning to have their downfall created

I am making my own magic tools
The start of the bigger web, the tapestry of life
A world full of kings, beggars, knights and fools

Catching a glimpse of a made up world
It ignites a spark in a heart gone cold
Breaking the thin line wire of an off worldly stare
That was spun, weaved and unravelled, every soul dealt fair

As the spinning wheel of life decides each fate
And all lifelines have left the spools
Then it is spinning, to have new life created

With my own set of magic tools
I am making another web, a tapestry of death
A world full of kings, beggars, knights and fools

Seeing the result, the bigger whole,
The spark dies again, the heart turns cold
unravelling the world of dreams, revealing the reality it stole
I cut the line
When the wheel of life love and hope, came to a hold


4. GALLERY OF REALITY (ORIGINAL ALBUM VERSION)

The temperature sank below zero
And the seas became giant mirrors
And trees formed a crystal splendour
The world is frozen to the core

Take my hand and walk with me
Through the corridors of snow and ice
Through a gallery of reality
History unfolds before your eyes

There, between the exhibited bodies
Framed by frozen blood
Her skin scabrous, once so soft
That must be the one, the one I once loved
