1. THE DAWNING

Beyond the walls the world has swallowed its revenge
We're safe at dark and fate has given us a chance
We're sleeping for now, - who knows if we'll wake up at dawn
And i've seen with my eyes
The sorrow of who wore a crown of thorns
The world explodes and shows the tragedy of fools - who chose the war and turned to ashes and ruins
No might or command to obey in the poisoned land
And i keep death inside - just sleeping with corpses at night
At night...
Before the dawn we'll cross the line
We're living to be free - and behold an ancient time The soldier now, he stands around - and all that has been written on the path has some meaning
Unchained and bold we walk towards the sun - down there we'll set the time and meaning
Unchained and bold we walk towards the sun - down there we'll set the time and find a place, for it's too late.


2. OUTSIDERS

The only ones taht i remember, - the outsiders - they called me on a winterday
And told me they just had been wandering, - the outsiders, - and claiming for a change
Once we had the right
To spend the days and fight
Showing photographs. Now - we will need another train
Once we were the night - and watched in black and white - showing hurricanes, now - we will creep across the street
And all of our thoughts in the water
And the outsiders - are lost in the ignorance
And all the seasons always changing
For the outsiders - it all remains unchanged.


3. OIONOS

Here we hear - over our silence - "remember if you sleep - nightmare will end"
Pray for me You'lle be remembered - for what you've been revealed - and all has been done
Erase your shadows, - the black is there
A storm of vultures coming closer for the end
Remind your sorrow - back through the light
The night that follows is our promise to be in the night Down the hill - over the barren land
I hear you call my name - begging for death
The underworld is shaterring our silence - and scattering the vultures taht revealed - the morning tide, the secure hide for the sleepers - and drifting in the air we'll meet the great warlord



4. FALLEN REIGN

"One day you'll see the light" - the old man said to me.
"In a faceless life, - light of hypocrisy"
I'll see the darkness brighter, - life will not succeed my memories
And in the mortal past
I've seen an holocaust
A fallen reign in the distance
A fallen reign in your eyes
We're never satisfied and the world disappeared
What's the world with this light - that you guarantee ?
What remains of this life, is it life ?
And i remember - a crowd of voices out the range - and stranger faces - with no expressions to exchange
The pool of silver - prepared us to some promised land
And deep the water - the light brought us farther
Strangled land - we'll never stop and wondering why
Sacred fire - you'll never stop to burn
What's the world with this light - that you guarantee ?
What remains of this life, is it life ?

6. LOST HUMANITY

I'll be back at sunrise - even farther tonight - waiting for them - to put up a fight
I hope i won't be afraid - when they will come forward - someone will hide - someone will not...
One again i am - waiting here for them - hoping, showing them humanity - that once they were
Everyday i wait
Everyday i live - to meet another man.
I've never felt so alone - it would be enought a word
Winning a war - to convert a soul
Once again I'm - waiting for them
Once again to show humanity - that once they were
Every day i pray
I want to be free for them - just another man
I do not have mercy on me
I do not want to admit
I should swallow - and all of this hate - and become the very prey
Once again i am - here in front of them - trying to show the enemy
I am it's just a man
Everyday i wait
Everyday i live - to meet another friend - or meet another enemy
Once again i wait
Once again i see the failure - in their hunger,
In their blood, over my hopes
Every day i'm wrong (everyday i lose)
Everyday taht i get - just another dead.


7. SURVIVORS SLEEP

Here we are soldiers of fortune and glory
Saw the earth breaking in two, - wondering what could we get from this half life
Will we damn the day we set our way ?
Our souls of unbelievers will call the rage of Christ
Disturb survivors sleep and - the desert world will wry
Here we are walking the red and grey district
Saw a man is able to shout
The secrets of unholy will prevent us from praying
Survivors for the glory - here where the orphans play
Our souls of unbelievers will call the rage of Christ
Disturb sleep and
The entire world will cry.


8. CHANT OF WIDOWS

Burning sun, if you hear me - burn those roses in the sand
They can sing their litany
They can suffer in my tears
Land of communion burn inside
Rushing blood into my eyes, - chant of widowson the streets
Warriors coming right on their way, - but no enemies to fight
Land of confusion cast me aside
Out in the garden, sleeping, pleading
Behind the dorrway, begging, starving
Around the corner mourners, murders
We're just survivors in the city
Thoughts of death in words and knives
Chant of widows in my mind
They can sing my revenge - and evoke the Lord of fire
Land of communion burn inside
Land of confusion cast me aside.


9. HOPE. SHE'S IN THE WATER

My hope.
She's in the water.
I swear - i saw at night - when she left me, my hope.
I read her lines, then left me drown as guilty. My hope.
And trhought the window sped on me
My hope
My hope
And she possessed me, she laid down the law
I worked - and she refused me
I swear - the more i worked - the more i felt she'd leave me. My hope.
I've thrown my mind and future makes me worry. I know.
Now please, just let me mesmerize the world...
I don't know what time will be when light will break the silence
I just know the sound is near when knives will stab our hearts
I don't know my dynasty and fear will keep the distance
I just know me tragedy but i'm a man of war.


10. RUSSIANS (STING COVER)

In Europe and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mister Krushchev said, 'We will bury you'
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It'd be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too

How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent to put
Words in the mouth of the president
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mister Reagan says 'We will protect you'
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too
