1. AT FIRST LIGHT

We crossed a boundary
Time and again
It's late not early
On our terrain
When words have fallen
On stony ground
And barkers are callin'
Still they astound

When all the lights are down
The morrow will come

At first light
Nova dawn
Reunite
On and on
At first light
Nova dawn
Reunite
On and on and on and on and on and on

It's waiting to happen
It all went west
The rhythm we're tappin'
Was just second best
And followed the skin game
The snakes in the grass
Remained in our shame
Breaking the glass

When all the lights are down
The morrow will come

At first light
Nova dawn
Reunite
On and on
At first light – I see daylight
Nova dawn – the road ahead
Reunite – it's the last card
On and on and on and on and on and on

It will stick out a mile
All abundantly clear
Leaving behind the guile
The faintness and fear
Burning the bridges behind
We will rise
Freedom is there to find
Before your eyes
Larger than life
I have faith
It will all come alive
Deep down in my heart
I have faith
Deep down in my heart


2. THE CALL OF EDEN

In the haze of ecstasy
The tension rises deep in me
Willing to believe you all
Promise me to catch me, when I come to fall

First the lie it tastes so sweet
But bitter is the end
(The) illusion you're on easy street
On a tale you depend

I am high-flown
And I feel the unknown
You are not alone
So relieve your feelings
I am flying
I am always trying
And all worlds allying
The call of Eden

Don't wanna veer away from you
As I follow what you do
In your presence I can feel
And without you it all seems to be unreal

The verity at first daylight
So bitter it may be
Come and dare a second sight
Is your turn to be free

I am high-flown
And i feel the unknown
You are not alone
So relieve your feelings
I am flying
I am always trying
And all worlds allying
The call of Eden

Tears of my sorrow
And tears of delight
Mighty the downfall
Where powers unite

I am high-flown
And i feel the unknown
You are not alone
So relieve your feelings
I am flying
I am always trying
And all worlds allying
The call of Eden

And I feel
You are not alone so high-flown I can fly
Fly
And all worlds allying
The call of Eden


3. HALL OF SHAME

A feathered peacock in his robe
The flattering and luring promise makes you rise
A story goes around the globe
The haughtiness comes in disguise

Overwhelmed like never been before
Admiring what we can't simply see
Oh how could we?

No one concedes
Blindness misleads
Casting a spell with a story in shine
Playing this game
In the hall of shame
All disbelieve but will follow the line
Shamе

The tailor's cutting in the air
Makes a gown of clouds fallеn from the sky
He paves the way to make him share
Reveal the truth behind the lie

The innocence is wondering aloud
We look behind the essence of the play
Now all they say

No one concedes
Blindness misleads
Casting a spell with a story in shine
Playing this game
In the hall of shame
All disbelieve but will follow the line

No one concedes
Blindness misleads
Casting a spell with a story in shine
Playing this game
In the hall of shame
All disbelieve but will follow the line

Out of the hall of shame
Out of the hall of shame


4. SAVAGE LAND

Down on hollowed ground
In rosy dawn
Is where we stand
A divine right
Until the cows come home
In quietude
Let nature take its course
To get its second wind
A second wind

Hear me cry
You took it out of my hand
Whatever disposed you?
Claiming my savage land

Conjuring spirits
And wish for peace
Was all our hope
But you just shook your head
Enshrouded in secrecy
To start our agony
Went rack and ruin

Before first light
Before first light

Hear me cry
You took it out of my hand
Whatever disposed you?
Claiming my savage land

My holy land
My holy land


5. SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT HOME

Afloating in the ages
Cannot realize
Learn to turn the pages
Who I am to rise

I hear the rhythm pounding
The rhythm of my heart
In unison they're sounding
Come breathing and be part

Whenever you dream of me
Leavened by the lore
The beauty looking for
Imagine how you can be
When miracles appear
You're somewhere else but here

My way into thе unknown
The undiscovered land
Passing on what I'vе been shown
Perception in my hand

Whenever you dream of me
Leavened by the lore
The beauty looking for
Imagine how you can be
When miracles appear
You're somewhere else but here

In reliance wherever I land
Be hold, carried and journey on
No train and no burden in hand
The rails of ideas will be finally gone

Whenever you dream of me
Leavened by the lore
The beauty looking for
Imagine how you can be
When miracles appear
You're somewhere else
Somewhere else but here


6. FREEDOM IS A ROOF MADE OF STARS

Within the corridors of power
Within a life in the raw
Right into the eleventh hour
Searching for the last straw

The fear of others has never the right
Degrading you to the bone
Abandoning your inner shield
A heart full of stone

There is no gain in this safety
Ain't no land of the leal
Staying for endless eternity
Short-winged hanging in the wheel

Free as a leaf in the wind
We like to be bound
Who can imagine this need?
The essence not found

Who is not ready to leave the shoreline
And who is not willing to heal the scars
Cannot find a new land and realign
'Cause freedom is a roof made of stars

Canopy
Lunar sea

Come explore
Furthermore
Come to light and rise

Who is not ready to leave the shoreline
And who is not willing to heal the scars
Cannot find a new land and realign
'Cause freedom is a roof made of stars

Canopy
Lunar sea


7. ARCADIA (THE GREAT ESCAPE)

Can we start again?
Can we raise an era?
Who are we who reign?
Blinded by the fear

Just a rope of sand
Makes the world go round
Lost and out of hand
The coda in the sound
Far into the silence
The resonation stays
Abandoning the violence
The exit from the maze

Time is out of joint
Reason is a loanword
Where's the counterpoint?
The symphony unheard

The stories have been told
By wolfs in the fold
Sailing on the fairway of a lie
They came to tear the grace
And show a changing face
A lurid cup of hemlock they supply

Far beyond the afterglow
When all around is touch and go
For as long as the waters flow

Hold on, dream on
A light from afar
Be on, the great escape
In Arcadia

The change of paradigm
The hills we have to climb
The great escape, the riddance is our way
Into cascading light
An innervated sight
A long decisive turn, the place to stay

Far beyond the afterglow
When all around is touch and go
For as long as the waters flow

Hold on, dream on
A light from afar
Be on, the great escape
In Arcadia


8. THE ROAD TO SHANGRI-LA

We face a lost horizon
The end of all we know
The dogma all pervasive flow
The haste and all the restraint
Riding for a fall
The shallowness has kept us small

We're all in dire need
Of help to come
Back to affinity
To finally come undone

The powers of perception
Have often gone astray
A down-right shame, the price to pay
A storm so punishing here
Will bring the about-turn
To go the distance and return

We came from miles around
With hopes that never died
Closely guarded secrets
In mystery they're attired

The road to Shangri-La
The last realm of the soul is a mystery
The spell of Shangri-la
An arcadian dream can be our treasury

The road to Shangri-la
The last realm of the soul is a mystery
The spell of Shangri-la
An arcadian dream can be our treasury

(The road to Shangri-la)
The road to Shangri-la
(The land behind the times is a mystery)
Time is a mystery here
(The peace of Shangri-la)
Shangri-la
(Is a mental gem of men without boundaries)
Shangri-la


9. THE BONDING II

I. Overture

Instrumental

II. Alpha and Omega

I am the one and all, I am the sight unseen
Iridiscence around and everything between
As I was always there, as I will never leave
The name you all bear, the morning and the eve

I change in every moment, I am the twilight zone
And in the song of ever, I am the timeless tone
I am beyond the alpha, beyond the omega
And in the dome of the sky, I am the brightest star

You're not in a hazy memory
You are invisible to me
Better follow the commonly held array
Better living a lotus life, so they say

I am immortal, the light in the dark
Timeless and unborn
The everchanging form
I am the nature, the reason for all
The greatest pulse of light
The power to unite
I am the glory for so many years
And when you arrive you will know

I am the basic reason, the well of it all
I am the timeless now, the one you will recall
Like and endless ocean, I'm non-duality
All unaffected, in the heave of the sea

There is none beyond the grave
Tells the master to his slave
So you have to come down on my side of the fence
So you better take your only chance

I am immortal, the light in the dark
Timeless and unborn
The everchanging form
I am the nature, the reason for all
The greatest pulse of light
The power to unite
I am the glory for so many years
And when you arrive you will know

III. The Eleventh Hour

Instrumental

IV. Round and Round

Do you wanna drown in all your pain?
And do you wanna take my name in vain?
Why do you believe the sky would fall?
Within your narrow bounds, can you hear my call?

Who can count, describe, comparing you?
You always vanish as I look into
Pretending you're aware but can't explain
Just like a falling star, worlds apart remain

Why do you resign to your own fate?
The looking glass will reinforce your hate
Dividing your world into friend and foe
Come and dare a glance, at the scenery below

Round and round, the abyss in me
I'm fighting against the fall, in my endless misery
I can see your overwhelming pain
To leave the shеll is taking all your strain

Round and round, it's all coming down on me
I stand out to lose the ground, free mе from this slavery
Bearing down it all makes you believe
It's devastating you and I can feel your grieve

V. The Timeless Now - Finale

Out of time
The wheel's turning on and on
As far as the eyes can see
And far beyond all it's me
I will rise
High-flown into the skies
If I could only come to know
Letting the spirit flow
I let the spirit flow
I only let the spirit flow

Then we are aware
The bonding is there
The timeless now
