1. ...FROM FAR BEYOND

(Instrumental)


2. WHEN FOREVER ENDS

Now that everything's lost my colours they are slowly fading
and I cast no shadow but another level is waiting.
Journey through the black abyss is only in my fevered mind,
even time and space have gone, impossible to find.

From far beyond the nothingness, the end,
a twilight voice is calling me back again.

Waiting at the bottom of the sea in giant twisted cities
and the story of mankind is soon to be unwritten.
Boundaries of dim expansion growing to a roaring river,
I'm screaming silent, I'm raving mad with fever.

From far beyond the nothingness, the end,
a twilight voice is calling me back again.

I stare into the darkness
and trying to believe my eyes.
Through eons dwelling formless,
now it's time for you to rise.

Come rest thy tired soul until forever ends,
rest until you know the future again on you depends.
Then go and free your mind, make up another paradise
and the humans will be waiting.

When forever ends I'll be thy servant, I'll be there for you,
your rotten smell is sweet delight in mystery.
I will gaze into your eyes with black amazement in my head,
the great old ones will now consume our hopes.

From far beyond the nothingness, the end,
a twilight voice is calling me back again.

I stare into the darkness
and trying to believe my eyes.
Through eons dwelling formless,
now it's time for you to rise.


3. THE VISION

Today the sky is gray,
gray as the thoughts in my head.
And I have been down for so long
as an endless trail I tread.

I've climbed the highest mountains
but I still can't reach the top,
looking at a wasteland hat just
never seems to stop.

Come walk with me the world to see
and look for understanding.
Come walk with me blue sky to see
and hope to be set free.

Then like from out of nowhere
a vision comes to me,
picturing the king of eagles
coming from the sea.

He talks to me in tongues
that I have never known before,
but i notice that I understand
as if it were my own.

Come fly with me out to the sea,
I'll show you understanding.
Come fly with me the end to see
and I will set you free.

So now I'm flying to the sky
to see the world with diffirent eyes.
I've found a place to call my own where
I can learn that I have been set free.


4. INTOXICATED

I stare at the sky and see
what I've tried to see so many years.
The purity of space and time to see
it all through intoxicated tears.

Creating a trip through hexagonal space
I'm fighting the laws of gravity.
Burning my eyes to understand blind
agitation against my own sanity.

You can fool a man forever,
fill him with your lies.
You can fool mankind once,
drawing a web of lies.

Burning their eyes to understand,
you can't fool mankind forever.

I've never tried to embrace myself tight,
it is not how I want it to be and I found
in my head that I always did right even
though you speak angry of me.

Spiraling confusion appears
as the world keeps coming back.
What I felt is description of all
and madness is my only friend.

You can fool a man forever,
fill him with your lies.
You can fool mankind once,
drawing a web of lies.

Burning their eyes to understand,
you can't fool mankind forever.


5. BEYOND THE WALLS OF SLEEP

I eager for knowledge
and the power to travel beyond.
It is the soul within I'm after,
to journey with you is my bond.

Towards Algol, the demonstar,
we fly above valleys so deep.
In the shining mists of Orion's sword
we'll meet beyond the walls of sleep.

More than two thousand years from now
evil empire Tsan-Chan will appear,
and what you call ancient egypt
is where I'll dwell next year.

Towards Algol, the demonstar,
we fly above valleys so deep.
In the shining mists of Orion's sword
we'll meet beyond the walls of sleep.


6. NOWHERE LAND (THE SAGA OF THE EXILES I)

"The timegate is opened..."

I'll desecrate your weak
beliefs, you must feel so old.
Went out to see another world,
found that it had turned so cold.

Stranded in unknown sourroundings,
in a place where time has no meaning.
Can't seem to find my way out of here,
trapped in a nowhere land.

Open my thoughts to the masses,
the manticore is my illusion.
Can't seem to open the door out of here,
trapped ina a nowhere land.

Absent but absolutely there,
consciousness expanding.
I know the meaning of it all,
that's what im thinking.

Stranded in unknown sourroundings,
in a place where time has no meaning.
Can't seem to find my way out of here,
trapped in a nowhere land.

Open my thoughts to the masses,
the manticore is my illusion.
Can't seem to open the door out of here,
trapped ina a nowhere land.

Stranded in unknown sourroundings,
in a place where time has no meaning.
Can't seem to find my way out of here,
trapped in a nowhere land.

Open my thoughts to the masses,
the manticore is my illusion.
Can't seem to open the door out of here,
trapped ina a nowhere land.

And so we fought...


7. THE FLOOD (THE SAGA OF THE EXILES II)

"The timegate is closed...
They came from a galaxy far away
to fight their holy war in the pliocene
world called Terra, he many-colored land"

They take a sadistic delight in destroying
in a world of coercive power and might,
breeding a new type of hybrid child to
conquer the world without a fight.

To condemn the power of strength,
the astonishing mental capacity
The tool to obstruct the second
chance of trying for humanity.

For humanity!

Healing every wound,
no sickness, no aging, no dying.
Living for a thousand years or more,
the human exiles are crying.

To serve the exotics of Tana they're
feeling the gray torcs around their necks.
All can they stop mental punishment
if unity fight its way through.

Fight its way through!

A group of low-lifes refusing to submit to the host
and making a plan to destroy the ruling race.
The non-born king of humans has the solving in his hands,
deceiving his own and shows his real face.

"Yes we adopted the humans!
They fight our battles, they grow our food,
they operate our mines and factories.

They administer our commerce,
they infiltrate our sacred guilds,
They mingle their very blood
and genes with our own.

But that is not all!

We are faced with the ultimate humiliation,
and once again we have brought it upon ourselves.
For a human now aspires to our high kingship..."

Interrogation, humiliation,
blind agression, devastation.

The maddened raven creates the earthquake
to break down the barrier to the sea.
Killing the host with catastrophe,
water remains there to be.


8. PALE FACES

One hour ago, a step back in time,
the season drew the pupils in my eyes.
When the water turned to blood it
turned my guilt into the lies.

Gold is the metal of purity,
my body has turned in for good.
Every crawling corner in my mind
changing the things I understood.

How can it be that you're blinded again,
you can hear them dying within.
the souls under your skin crumble
in a sea of sin.

Gold is the metal of purity,
my body has turned in for good.
Every crawling corner in my mind
changing the things I understood.

So well, so bright,
I'm fly away, I cannot stay.
Dawn breaks free and pale faces
are turning the night.

Gold is the metal of purity,
my body has turned in for good.
Every crawling corner in my mind
changing the things I understood.

So well, so bright,
I'm fly away, I cannot stay.
Dawn breaks free and pale faces
are turning the night.


9. PRIVATE HELL

Standing up, I'm looking
down at the ground below,
and I can not change my
situation by execution.

How can it be my life, it means so much to me?
I'm doomed anyway, my friend, can't you see?
How can it be my life, it means so much to me?
I'm doomed anyway, my friend, can't you see?

There's no God to save me
from this private hell,
no angel of mercy
comes to my cell!

How can it be my life, it means so much to me?
I'm doomed anyway, my friend, can't you see?
How can it be my life, it means so much to me?
I'm doomed anyway, my friend, can't you see?

Standing up, I'm looking
down at the ground below,
and I can not change my
situation by execution.

How can it be my life, it means so much to me?
I'm doomed anyway, my friend, can't you see?
How can it be my life, it means so much to me?
I'm doomed anyway, my friend, can't you see?


10. ROOTS OF ETERNITY

(I. Eternity)

(Instrumental)

(II. Roots)

I can't see whether it's me
or my blood that drags me down,
thoughts in my mind tell me
that I'm not even around.

I can't see no solution to the
suffering of the weakest creature of all.
One for me is the rope around my
neck but I don't want the curtain to fall.

Illusions of better days ignored,
buried in a state of mind absorbed.
Illusions of better days ignored,
buried in a state of mind absorbed.

I don't care anymore
because my world is gone
No hope for you, no hope for me,
and no hope for anyone.

How can I tell the truth when
I dont even know if it's the truth I tell
Damn it, my friend, I don't care if you won't help
but would you please then put me into my shell.

Draw a line in the sand to keep me
knowing where your boundaries explode
I don't wish to die but if I had the
choice I'd rather not corrode.

I will always cry inside profane,
inapproachable, yes insane.
I will always cry inside profane,
inapproachable, yes insane.

I don't care anymore
because my world is gone
No hope for you, no hope for me,
and no hope for anyone.

Carved in me to make it last,
read the word through splintered glass.
Swallowed whole, my only hope to lift
the grief hiding from the past.

Dare not look into these eyes
all too aware of the pain I'll find.
But I can't resist the temptation,
search for my soul to leave it all behind.

All locked doors inside my head betrayed,
shadows haunt my loneliness depraved.

(III. Last Cry)

I quite don't know why I smiled back then,
it must have been a memory of a place that I have been.
Sorry if I said too much and now you know my name,
it's just a way to hide myself, can you tell me why I came?

There are miracles no more
and life it goes its ways,
water feels like fire and in
my hands I'll find my face.

For much to long I had my conscience
on the floor, been drifting in a circle
till I smashed my head into the door.

(IV. The End)

It's because the roots are no longer
below, they're dead and it is easy to show.
Take my hand, let's walk through the night,
wait for the end, there's no reason to fight.
