DISC 1

1. PRISONER OF PRIDE

There's a time to feel
And a time to fear
Turn around and walk away from here
There's no mystery
No catch
If you will
Paralyze your paradise
Or the next man will

Where's your superstition now
All you true believers
Where's your so called sacred cow
Where is it now

One small victory
And your soldiers all go home
It takes more than that
To trade your pieces for a whole
Circumstances force your hand
So you say
Satisfy yourself
You'll live to die another day

Sell your only saving grace
You grand achiever
Nothing hurts like second place
I see it now

Your prisoner of pride
Come on feel the rain
Come taste another kind of freedom
Your prisoner of pride
You conceal the pain
Come see the other side of freedom


2. FIRE DANCE

I woke up still dreaming
The air was static
My eyes can't see
My senses turn to automatic

So I dream again
The waves have reached the shore
So I dream again
And wait for something more

No sign, no answer
I'm looking at mountains, but I'm way too close
No sign, no wonder
I'm looking at every way to break the circle

Dance me to the fire dance
Following steps in the sand
Dance me to the fire dance
All hell has come loose, the future is out of my hands
Not what I planned

I'm stolen, I'm broken
I'm changing colors
The veil has gone and so has
Everything that matters

Come and hear the sound
Of silence in the haze
Can you hear the sound
The colors that it makes?

No sound, no images
This must be darkness by another name
No sound, no answer
Some kind of evils come to carry us away

Into the fire dance
Following steps in the sand
Dance me to the fire dance
All hell has come loose, the future is broken

Dance me to the fire dance
Following steps in the sand
Dance me to the fire dance
All hell has come loose, the future is not what I planned

And so I dream again I dream
The waves have reached the shore it seems
And so I dream again I dream

Dance me to the fire dance
Following steps in the sand
Dance me to the fire dance
All hell has come loose

Dance me to the fire dance
Following steps in the sand
Dance me to the fire dance
All hell has come loose

The future has spoken
Words have been broken


3. STRANGER DAYS (TO COME)

It's a personal feeling how your world is turning
You can blind your eyes, but, you decide
And something is aching
And your world is breaking down

There's a whole lot more than this
That you're dying to resist
There's a whole lot more than this

[Chorus]
There are stranger days to come
When all the rivers run dry
There are stranger days to come...

You can almost taste it,
But you can replace it
There's a homegrown madness going on
Get to know your feelings
The emotion can explode

There's a wider world I hear
Let your conscience disappear
With an easy ride from here

[Chorus]

There's no sun in the sky forever
I see stranger days than these
In my heart in my dreams
When the world stops spinning me forever...

Forever
On and on and on and on and on
Forever, forever
Forever, and ever, forever, forever
I see stranger days...


4. HIGHER THAN THE SUN

So now you're finally here beyond the reach of fear
Just feel the waves come in so far from where you've been
There's a kind of stranger waiting at the door
Some kind of nervous stranger, never seen before

Dark and brooding day crystal moon at night
Silvery shadows calling fantasy or flight

This won't take too long, I'm not so far away
Before I am gone, you'll know me inside and outside
I am here to change your world in every way
Which way do you fall, light side or dark side?

Higher than the sun above the clouds
That hide reality away
I'll take you there, I will take you there

Higher than the sun between the heavens
And the demons of the day
I'll take you there, I will take you there

Never turn your back, don't try to walk away
Something inside is burning deeper every day
Dark and brooding day, crystal moon at night
Silvery shadows calling fantasy or flight

Deep inside your soul, I'm hiding, holding on
Breath in the fear and feed me, inside and outside
Unchain your confusion, I'll soon be gone
Let your spirits fly to the light beyond

Higher than the sun above the clouds
That hide reality away
I'll take you there, I will take you there

Higher than the sun between the heavens
And the demons of the day
I'll take you there, I will take you there

Higher than the sun above the clouds
That hide reality away
I'll take you there, I will take you there

Higher than the sun between the heavens
And the demons of the day
I'll take you there, I will take you there


5. SEVEN DAYS INTO NEVERMORE

We don't know with what weapons world war three will
be fought, but world war four will be
fought with sticks and stones.
This is not the end of predicted danger.

It's your disgrace
But you made it well,
So the world can tell
It's your face
It's on the fire that burns inside
And I see the light

The colours of your heart
And they're slowly changing
The colours of your mind
And they're slowly fading

It's all in vain,
So time does what it will,
Try asking whose to blame,
For a throw away existence
I see...the light, the way
Nothing of the past
And were disappearing
And nothing gonna last
The end is nearing

[Chorus]
Changes changing
Seven days into nevermore
Learning turning,
Seven days into nevermore

You're a grain of sand
In the desert that was mankind
I don't understand
How all of us are blinded,
By the light, blinded

Turn another page, and there's no beginning
We are just at an age, and time is winning

[Chorus]

Seven days...nevermore, grain of sand
You know the score, desert man...
He needs one more, seven days to nevermore

To nevermore, to nevermore, forevermore


6. THE PLEASURE ROOM

What's your pleasure
No one needs to know

No one needs to know

I'm in league with strangers, I'm talking all the time
How's the weather?
When I need the danger, I find it every time
Come whatever

'Cause I'm damned if I'll be chastised
For my healthy wholesome pastimes
And I pray that I'll remain forever more
In the pleasure room, the pleasure room
The pleasure room, the pleasure room

No one needs to know

Is the weakness winning? Scared of what you'll find
Pain or pleasure
If your dream are damning, are you the forgiving kind
For now, forever?

All at once I feel the weight of what I've seen
And how I've prayed
That one day I'll be safe, forever more
In the pleasure room, the pleasure room
The pleasure room, the pleasure room

No one needs to know

As I weep inside my prison cell
I keep alive my private hell
I pray that I'll remain forever more
In my pleasure room, my pleasure room

My pleasure room, my pleasure room
My pleasure room, my pleasure room
My pleasure room, my pleasure room

No one needs to know
No one needs to know
No one needs to know
No one needs to know
No one needs to know


7. THE OTHER SIDE OF PARADISE

(No lyrics available)


8. BLIND MAN

There's a place that's soft and warm it's a shelter from the storm
There's a whisper in the air if I call you will you hear

Pull me in I'm a drowning man breath in all of the love you can
Pull me in your arms again one more long cold mile to cross

When the blind man calls tonight remember your darkest hours
When the blind man calls tonight uncover the love that's in your hands

Whisper nighttime into day blow the dark clouds far away
Be my island show me sun give me sand to walk upon

Make the dawn come around again silver sun burning through the rain
Make me new make me see again touch the hand then heal the heart


9. BOOK OF SECRETS

Make secret these words and seal up the book until the time of the end.

Too many lines to read between
Too many minds are coming close to the extreme
Are you the named are you pure
Dare you believe in something never seen before

[Bridge]

Secrets soon to be secrets soon to be told
Take another look at the open book
Secrets soon to be secrets soon to be told
Take another look at the open book

[Chorus]

The book of secrets
The words of wiser men than I
The book of secrets
The code is falling falling from the sky
Falling from the sky, falling from the sky

Is this the dawn of something new
The clock is ticking and there's nothing I can do
In place of guessing what's to come
Unlock the secrets close your eyes

And kiss the sun

[Bridge]
[Chorus]

At the close of the twentieth century,
We are threatened
With the kind of chaos that
The world has never faced before.
We have built weapons
That can destroy human civilization in a single day,
These weapons may be on the loose.

[Bridge]
[Chorus]

But neither in heaven nor earth was there a single
One able to open the scroll or look into it.
And as for you men of vision everything will become
Like the words of the book that has been sealed up.


10. SAVAGE TEARS

Slow down pour a glass
Of what gets you through the day
Send all your senses far away
Slow down I'll whisper words
You don't want to hear
It's too late
But it's now or never

How many times can one heart bleed
Spread your golden wings and fly
A subtlety change but change indeed
Brings me to the final lullaby

After savage tears
Can you take a breath when there's nothing left
After savage tears
When all the life is gone when it's really gone

So far satisfaction hides away from me
Maybe you're the remedy
Oh you are closer now to no return
One heart slows and one grows faster

Close your eyes and go to sleep
Send a flickering goodbye
Closing down your soul for keeps
Feeds a need and keeps me so alive

Let me ask you one more question
Even though you can't answer me
Was the euphoria so deep
Could you feel the savage silence
Why don't you answer me
You never answer me


11. DO YOU DREAM OF ANGELS

Now your sleeping now your still
Softly tell you how I feel
And if you dream a thousand years
I still be here, forever here...

Hold me in your sleepy eyes
Hold me closer, whisper me goodnight
Let the moon light have it's way through the silence
I can hear you say

[Chorus]
Do you dream of angels
Well I do when I'm dreaming of you
Do you dream of angels
I do when I'm dreaming of you
I dream of angels when I see you

Fill me with your symphony
Overtures of love in harmony
In your silent journeying
Take me with you...Can I hear you say

Now your sleeping now your still
Softly tell you how I feel

[Chorus]


12. ONE VOICE

Do you hear the sound between these walls
Can you see the shadows
As they crawl around and fall around

Here comes the velvet covered scream
Here comes the never ending
Wall around, it's all around

There's one small voice
And there's a never ending diamonds in the sky
One voice for each and every one

There's one small voice
And this world could turn blood red if you let it fly
One voice and you're the one

Cover up the lost, alone and dead
There's a time and place where
No one cares about, what you care about

Wipe away the tears, the blood, the sweat
It's all so clear now there's
No cloud around, no clouds around

There's one small voice
And there's a never ending diamonds in the sky
One voice for each and every one

There's one small voice
And this world could turn blood red if you let it fly
One voice and you're the one

There's one small voice
And there's a never ending diamonds in the sky
One voice for each and every one

There's one small voice
And this world could turn blood red if you let it fly
One voice for each and every one

There's one small voice
And there's a never ending diamonds in the sky
One voice for each and every one

There's one small voice
And this world could turn blood red if you let it fly
One voice and you're the one


13. Against the Odds

Try, Yeah I'll try,
To overcome this hurt inside,
What about tomorrow?
Will I feel your love still follow me?
Over and over, I keep seeing you,
I keep seeing you and I know,
If we're worlds apart, I'd never let you go.

[Bridge]
They tell me the oceans are too wide,
But what they're trying to say,
Is taking it's toll deep inside,
I'm starting to slide,

[Chorus]
I never thought I'd see your face again,
I need to feel the love that I thought was lost,
I never thought I'd see your face again,
I'm still in love with you,
Against the odds,

Here, right here,
Is all you ever need to find,
Knock down the fences,
Lay bare surviving senses,
Can I be broken,
I keep seeing you, keep seeing you and I don't know,
If I could touch you know,
Could I let you go,

[Bridge]
They tell me the road only goes so far,
But, what they're trying to say,
Is twisting and tearing at my heart,
I'm falling apart,

[Chorus]


DISC 2


1. THE RISING

Light turns to darkness hope to despair
The machine is rising the machine is rising
For me the light was so real a scar so hard to heal
Deception graced from blazing heavens eternal sin
Time stands forever unending dreams
Never Know the ending this is my fractured life

The machine is rising the machine is rising from within

Heathen machine...


2. HEATHEN MACHINE

Heathen Machine
Heathen Machine

Scream, yeah!

Find a way or make a way, there's nothing sacred
Cut me off so amputate what you created
Nothing here is made of stone, where's it all gone wrong?
Tear up the plastic corners one by one now

Enter the kindred, where have you been?
Welcome kindred, come on in!

Heaven stained is screaming lullabies around me
Catch my spirit freaking as it dies without me
Once inside there's nothing left to activate your soul
The armoured hearts are melting one by one now

Enter the kindred, where have you been?
Welcome kindred, come on in!

Breath out so I can breath you in (heathen machine)
Heathen machine like no man can ever be
How long before your walls fall in (heathen machine)?
Without heart and soul you're dead to the world, stay heathen machine

I'm drawn towards the enemy
Leaning in, in spite of me
Without a soul there's hollow, hollow ground
Breaking up in front of me, tearing the whole thing down...

(Heathen machine)
Heathen machine like no man can ever be
How long before your walls fall in (heathen machine)?
Without heart and soul you're dead to the world, stay heathen machine

Breath out so I can breath you in (heathen machine)
Heathen machine like no man can ever be
How long before your walls fall in (heathen machine)?
Without heart and soul you're dead to the world, stay heathen machine

Without a soul there's hollow, hollow ground
Dead to the world, bright heart and soul
Breaking up in front of me...
Oh oh oh oh...


3. CHEMICAL IMBALANCE

Feel the steel breeze
Maybe I've been kissed by angels
Ruby sky
The devil's playground maybe

I cannot compare to this
Beyond my wildest childhood wish
The grand design was never mine
This is what you made me

Rise above the chemical imbalance
If you're strong and if you're brave
Rise above the chemical imbalance
Are you master are you slave?

You're in two minds
Or are two minds in you?
And is this fractured life
The real thing or the flavour of?

Soul asylum inner space
The last eternal hiding place
I can't control what I don't own
This is what you made me


4. SHELTER ME

Lend me your lonely faces
Sheltering in darkened places
The reckoning is at hand

Unchain tomorrows rain
Let's wash the evil far away
The world will have to understand

Too dark to see
Cover me with everything
Too dark to see and

Shelter me, the cold wind of illusion's crying
Shelter me, keep me warm, oh
Shelter me, the underside of evil's coming
Shelter me from it all

Here in the shallow waters
Cooling in the waves and wonder
How can this be all bad

It's all the same
If you are blinded by the spell you're under
Too bad, it's too bad

My eyes are red
Ultimately everybody's eyes are red so

Shelter me, the cold wind of illusion's crying
Shelter me, keep me warm, oh
Shelter me, the underside of evil's coming
Shelter me from it all

Shelter me, the cold wind of illusion's crying
Shelter me, keep me warm, oh
Shelter me, the underside of evil's coming
Shelter me from it all


5. SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH

Does a chicken have lips?
Does a rattlesnake have hips?
Can an elephant make a living blowing bubbles through his nose?


6. TEN MORE TALES OF GRAND ILLUSION

Go wash your conscience clean the way it's never been
The eyes and ears surround you
Hesitation takes it's turn anticipation burns
Enough to light the way before you

Silence is broken into nothing more than lies
Just another token telling just for the surprise

Ten more tales of grand illusion
Ten more tales of life

Beyond your inner soul the heart controls the mind
The mind was made to wonder
And if nothing more is said when all your truths are read
The masses are left to ponder

Another empty promise another empty lie
Glorify imagination try to justify
