1. ANDROMEDA RISING

(Instrumental)


2. BEYOND THE BLACK STARS

Keepers of all that is known
I will reclaim what is mine

Beyond the Black Stars
Adromedan structure will arise
We've bided our time

Complete the last piece
In a puzzle of intricate design
Thy've willing and blind

Preserved for a thousand years and crystallized
A temple in the stars

Seekers of all that's true
Oh, what did you find
Lurking in shadows of your ancient minds?

Speak of the crystal
That resides deep below
Guiding us further into the unknown

Create a new wonder
Built without artificial bounds
It will be our throne

An infinite labyrinth
Holding what will and won't be found
Forever our home

Preserved for a thousand years and crystallized
The secrets of divine
(We'll hunt them down!)

Seekers of all that's true
Oh, what did you find
Lurking in shadows of your ancient minds?

Speak of the crystal
That resides deep below
Guiding our people ever further
Into the unknown

[Solo: Farmer]

Seekers of all that's true
Oh, what did you find
Lurking in shadows of your ancient minds?

Speak of the crystal
That resides deep below
Guiding us further into the unknown

Long has it been
Since we were brought to this place
Of seven that travelled only three remain

True is our purpose
And the truth we will serve
Unravel the mysteries of the universe


3. THE ARTIFICE

[Solo: Farmer]

Further into the ether we go,
Under the orders of powers unknown,
Seeking the guidance from those in the council,
No secret is safe,
From the shadows we crawl!

We are the masters of the artifice,
We are defenders of (all that is truth!),
Deliverers of the sacred documents,
This is the world in which we’ve come to rule.

I look out and wonder on this long and lonely night,
For all of the power that knowledge can bring,
Whom does it serve if not I?
Far are the horizons I can see beyond these skies,
Follow the footsteps my ancestors laid,
Free me from this life.

Deeper, forever deeper we go,
Until we sacrificed our flesh and bone,
Binding our minds to core in the centre,
Eternal in youth,
Never betraying our goal!

[Solo: McNeil]

Stronger grows the fire that’s been burning deep inside,
If this is the life that’s been chosen for me,
I won’t back down from this fight.
I have one desire but to see with my own eyes,
All of the wonders my dreams gifted me,
Give to me a sign...


4. WHISPERS IN THE DARK

Cold are these senescent walls
Within these learned halls
A fortress of knowledge and truth
The echoes of my past lives ring louder

It's time now to join their numbers
Uphold the oath my masters swore
Fleeting and fragile beliefs
Cast my soul in to the void of time

Whispers in the dark reach out to me
Unravelling secrets beneath

Hark these ancient ghosts
Speak the words we've bestowed unto thee
Cast your gaze beyond the prize you seek

One will invoked
A thousand minds in an unending sea
Truth has gifted us eternity

Alone tolls the bells in the night
A wondrous age-old rite
Entwined with the core and to be
An arcanist monk that guards these scriptures

But I feel the questions burning
A powerful urge to know the truth
Breaking the shackles of lore
I search for answers in the depth below

Whispers in the dark reach out to me
Calling from my dreams
Answers that have long remind concealed
Shall finally bow be revealed

[Solo: McNeil, Farmer]


5. HORIZON’S EYE

Silent screams pierce my soul
Sending me back through the lives left behind
Have I been here before?
Or am I gradually losing my mind?

Time is a drop in the sea
Sending out waves that pull me down beneath
Into the depths unexplored
What will be was before
In this untold place, the Crystal Temple waits

On the Horizon's Eye
Stars come alive upon an emerald sky
Gleaming wonders pass me by
Is there a future at all?
The crystal calls and I must go...

All my innocence lost
Finding the secrets that hide in these tomes
To the Library's heart
Chased by a shadow that is not my own

On the Horizon's Eye
Stars come alive upon an emerald sky
Gleaming wonders pass me by
Is there a future at all?
The crystal calls from the Horizon's Eye
Stars come alive upon an emerald sky
Gleaming wonders pass me by
Is there a future at all?
The crystal calls and I must go...

[Solo: McNeil]

Speaking to me
The light it si consuming me
Is this the truth that I seek?
Reach out and touch the unknown...

Horizon's Eye!
Stars come alive upon an emerald sky
Gleaming wonders pass me by
Is there a future at all?
The crystal calls from the Horizon's Eye
Stars come alive upon an emerald sky
Gleaming wonders
Is there a future at all?
The crystal calls and I must go...


6. WOUNDS OF DESIGN

Light pierce the veil from afar
Remove this illusion
Soft is the song of the heart
That beats in seclusion
And harsh comes the dawn...

There was a time when you wandered alone
No belief, no way home
Clinging to life
Rising beyond all you dreamed just to fall
Through the weight of it all
The scars of my mind
Slowly unwind
Stars fade away
Turn to dust
That slips through my fingers
Born from this darkness I know
The burden that lingers
And harsh comes the dawn...

No, don't look back
There si no pain
We will forever-born into the void
Don't turn away
This is your time
Just reach out, and take my hand
The scars of my mind
Are wounds of design
Are wound of design

[Solo: McNeill]


7. SHADOW OF A FALLEN STAR

Here in the darkness
The light surrounds me
It's warm embrace all I've ever known
It speaks to me through minds entwined
And tells me I should leave it all

I've seen the hate, I've seen the leis.
I've seen the world I loved through different eyes
The crystal saves me from what I have tom realise

Crying out!
Lonely voices in the night
Death be my bride
Filled with doubt!
From the other side of life
Fear be my guide
Become the last true guardian
The shadow of a fallen star

[Solo: McNeil, Farmer]


8. TRUTH'S BURDEN

Gone are days of old
Claimed by the endless black
Ethereal and cold
I know what I've seen
But now what I'm willing to believe
Reflections in a dream
A broken fantasy

Calm inside
Together we wander
Effigies of life
Far from the halls we were born
Condemned to reform

We will rise the tide
Until it flows over
Beyond the other side
Was away all that remains
Not the vastness of space

Lies! Conspiracies!
Crush my beliefs
Crafted by age-old priest of the truth
Seekers of knowledge so pure
Strange and dangerous wonders show me the cure

[Solo: Farmer]

Thief! Vigilante!
That's what I'll be
Chased by the ones who protected me
Dogs of the Council Divine
Seven families, one design

All this time i was too blind to see
Corruption had spread like disease
Inside these learned chambers tonight
I'll run from the Arecibites
My life filled with perplexity
Corruption has tainted the dream
Inside this graveyard of stars
I will return this astral mind

The burden of the truth is now on me
To the Crystal Temple I must flee
The burden of the truth it weighs on me
To the Fallen Star...
