1. BACK FROM THE EDGE

Open up your mind through clouded eyes
It's the light in the dark
Spreading its hope in the unknown

It's finally time they pay for their crimes
For the years of fear, the pain and the tears
They have left you numb

Once I was lost, but now I'm found
Counting the cost, the thread has come unwound

We are strong enough we won't break
Or make the same mistake
Your fate is hanging
Off the ledge

Evil's reached it's end, the time has come
For the guilt and the lies
The unanswered cries, that have left you numb

How can you see through closed eyes
What life could be if they met their demise?

We are strong enough we won't break
Or make the same mistake
Your fate is hanging off the ledge

Countless times, thoughtless crimes
Pushing yourself to the end of the line
Now we are ready to come back
Back from the edge

Once I was blind, but now I see
Free from the bind that once held me

We are strong enough we won't break
Or make the same mistake
Your fate is hanging off the ledge

Countless times, thoughtless crimes
Pushing yourself to the end of the line
Now we are ready to come back
Back from the edge

Oh back from the edge


2. THROUGH THE OPEN DOOR

Down an empty hall
Darkness staring back at me as shadows light the way (as shadows light the way)
Blackness makes its call
I cannot make a move or hold my fear at bay (my fear at bay)

(Oh) I imagine the light on the outside
I can never feel too sure (oh)
I fight the urge to just hide
I’m trapped forevermore
I can’t walk through the open door

Walls are closing in
Always feeling trapped within
This fear that just won’t fade (fear that just won’t fade)
Finally I begin to take a step towards the light and stop feeling afraid (stop feeling afraid)

(Oh) I imagine my fate if I just tried
How long will I endure? (Oh)
Escaping my fear from the inside
I’d feel free again once more
If I just walk through that open door!

In the end (in the end) I have tried (I have tried)
Answering the questions that torment my mind
My thoughts have always led me astray
In time (in time) I will find (I will find)
I’ve overcome the boundaries that confine
And all the fear fades away...

And the walls that I feared release me
I’m safe and now I’m sure
Fear no longer controls what I see
I’ve won this crucial war
Now I’ll walk through the open door


3. MOMENT OF FLIGHT

Voices calling me, knowing what will be
Blood rushes to my soul
They penetrate my mind, ties that won't unbind
Taking total control

I almost shed a tear, forswear every fear
Facing the unknown
Blinded by the light, see my dream in sight
Uncertainty has been sold

To the top of the mountain we climb
Long to feel that light

Nerves will dissipate, never hesitate
Knowing I will arrive
Perfect place in time, confidence in prime
Certain we can thrive

Fortune knows no pain, rapture unexplained
The future now foretold
Satisfied and fed, destiny we've tread
Uncertainty has been sold

To the end of the galaxy we fly
Now we feel alive

At the end of innocence we reach
For the light that shines but won't be seen
Calling to hear the voice buried deep within
Feeling that moment of flight

Voices calling me knowing what will be
Blood rushes to my soul
They penetrate my mind, ties that won't unbind
Taking total control

To the end of the galaxy we ride
No we have survived

At the end of innocence we reach
For the light that shines but won't be seen
Calling to hear the voice buried deep within
Feeling that moment of flight, yeah
Feeling that moment of flight


4. DREAMWALKER

Living in a world that was your wall
Something feels strange
Though what, you can't recall
Letting go of ties that will bind
Submission makes you numb
And will overtake your mind

Oh all the way to the mystery
Basking in the fantasy we're waiting

Line by line, hold the key
More than what you appear to be
Here you are, Dreamwalker
One by one, to the end
Let your fragile mind transcend
Know you're home, Dreamwalker, oh...

Riding through the shadows and the fire
Something feels right
Though you're walking on a wire

Oh all the way to the mystery
Basking in the fantasy, we're waiting

Line by line, hold the key
More than what you appear to be
Here you are, Dreamwalker
One by one, to the end
Let your fragile mind transcend
Know you're home, Dreamwalker

Oh what you think you can't become
Oh but you cannot see, you already are...

Line by line, hold the key
More than what you appear to be
Here you are, Dreamwalker
Oh, one by one, to the end
Let your fragile mind transcend
Know you're home, Dreamwalker, oh...

Dreamwalker, oh...


5. THE MACHINE STOPS

She sits alone amid a radiant room
Melodious and tranquil, she's let remoteness bloom
All she will envision the machine has done
She stares into the image she knows as her son

What's there to seek? What's there to know?
The machine will show us the answers

How can we break down this soulless contradiction?
How can we feel what can't be felt through emotion?

He longs to walk into the earth's crisp air
Breaking down the boundaries without a care
All he will envision is to escape the machine
He stares into the stars, freedom he as seen

Nothing is real, I have to go
The machine will be our destruction

How can we break down this soulless contradiction?
How can we feel what can't be felt through emotion?
It's clear, we're through
Behind your touch is truth

It's clear to see we've lost our place
Stumbling through transition of a race
Reliant minds too advanced to see the light
Communication breakdown, a final disaster in sight yeah

And in the end we knew the way
Humanity rediscovered

How can we break down this soulless contradiction?
How can we feel what can't be felt through emotion?

How can we break down this soulless contradiction?
How can we feel what can't be felt through emotion?
It's clear we're through
Behind our touched holds truth


6. CONSEQUENCE OF CHOICE

Look at your hands, they're trembling, shaking
Reaching for keys, your conscience awaking
Look in your eyes, Now the picture is blurry
Searching for signs, now it's time to worry

Knowing that you're wrong
Still you drift along...

Taking an innocent life
Twisting and turning the knife
How could you know? (How could you know?)
How could you see? (How could you see?)
You would owe it all, all to the consequences of choice

Look up ahead, see the straight lines waver
No time to react, now you need a savior
Look at the ground, all the glass is shattered
Feel the regret, the one choice that mattered

Knowing you can't go back
An accidental attack...

Taking an innocent life
Twisting and turning the knife
How could you know? (How could you know?)
How could you see? (How could you see?)
You would owe it all, all to the consequences of choice

Knowing that this is the end
Your guilt will never mend...

Taking an innocent life
Twisting and turning the knife
How could you know? (How could you know?)
How could you see? (How could you see?)
You would owe it all, all to the consequences of choice

(How could you know?)


7. END OF ETERNITY

Steps that need retracing, asking us to see
Hours that need replacing, so much more could be
If time could only borrow more minutes for each day
If life could only augment there'd be so much more to say

What if there's nothing to be waiting for?
What if this moment's just an unlocked door

To the other side, path to another life
Knowing how we've tried
To see the end in sight
The end of eternity

Temporary placement on a platform we must tour
Momentary distance til we reach a distant shore
If in twist and turn we vanish, we appear reborn
No fear or doubt could banish what destiny has sworn

What if there's nothing to be waiting for?
What if this moment's just an unlocked door

To the other side, path to another life
Knowing how we've tried
To see the end in sight
The end of eternity

Door to the other side, path to another life
Knowing how we've tried to see the end in sight
Door to the other side, path to another life
Knowing how we've tried to see the end in sight

The end of insanity, the end of doubt and vanity
I know it's time to see we've reached the end


8. ONWARD

We sailed to distant oceans beyond what eyes can see
We grasped at distant treasures no man gets for free
We never took advice nor did what we were told
The final sacrifice that only destiny controlled

Searching and begging but finding no hope
Wishing and pleading with no way to cope
One more defeat, one more loss to grieve
We search for an end til we feel reprieve

Onward we go, seeking that distant shore
Ending the strife, cast all fear aside
Onward once more, reaching the end of our tour
Searching for the life on the other side

We took another hit, another strike too strong
The bleak and dismal fit of a conquest gone too long
The fateful annexation should've made us widely known
The past's determination was gone, our luck was sown

Feeling and writhing, knowing what must be done
Praying and bracing to reach for the sun
When hope is denied, we set a new goal
The end is implied, assume a role

Onward we go, seeking that distant shore
Ending the strife, cast all fear aside
Onward once more, reaching the end of our tour
Searching for life on the other side

Onward we go, seeking that distant shore
Ending the strife, cast all fear aside
Onward once more, reaching the end of our tour
Searching for life on the other side

This is our duty and this is our task
Fight ‘til the end and forget all the rest
Destiny calls
Now we must answer on the other side!
