1. In the Beginning

Human: "What are you...?"

Gaia : "I am the beginning and the end,
The Night, the day...
Life an death."

Human: "So you know why...why we are ?"

Gaia : "Because "I" am "

Human: "And you created me ?"

Gaia : "You created yourself.
I only set the divine spark free
And gave it a real form.
But the urge to progress
Made you what you are."

Human: "I..I don't understand...?"

Gaia : "Let me show you."
---------------------------------

Gaia: "Look around and realize!"

Human: "What is this? What is this all about?"

Gaia : "The answers are inside you
I can only show you the way
But you have to walk alone."
---------------------------------

Gaia : "You see?"

Human: "Yes, but it's all so confusing."

Gaia : "When the right time has come
You will understand.
When your body returns to me
Your soul will be free and ready to know."

Human: "But...but...when? Why?"

Gaia : "Shhh...just feel!"

---------------------------------

Human: "Wait! Who are you?"

Gaia : "I am Gaia!"

2. State of me

Why are we here where do we go in the end?

All these questions fill my mind
I try to understand
When will I exceed
The state of just "I am"

Make me see
And open my eyes
To realize myself
Guide my way
Through the unknown
To release inner strength

Living is a lie do we really die
Or will we transcend?
Why are we here where do we go in the end?

Crawling in the darkness
Searching for the light
Lift the shadow over me
That's covering my sight

Blinded by temptation
A veil inside my brain
Waiting for salvation
To take away the pain

Life without fears
Crying without tears
Feel

Time without pressure
Weight without measure
Unreal

Feel the origin of your soul
Deep inside the core
Clear you view to recognize the whole
And to learn so much more

What if there�s
No meaning at all
Nothingness
Instead of sense

Is there a place
Behind our thoughts
Where we belong

Life without fears
Crying without tears
Feel

Time without pressure
Weight without measure
Unreal

Living is a lie do we really die
Or will we transcend?
Why are we here where do we go in the end?

3. World's Requiem

Time passed by
Still it flows
Shadows hide
What nature shows

The only hope
Has been sold
To a world
So dark an cold

What will remain
This world is crying
It won't be the same
This world is dying

(The world is crying
It�s slowly dying)

Time passed by
It always flows
Shadows hide
What no one knows

The only hope
Has been sold
For a hand
Of bloody gold

What will remain
This world is crying
It won't be the same
This world is dying

(The world is crying
It�s slowly dying)

Time passed by
it always flows
Shadows hide
What no one knows

The only hope
Has been sold
For a hand
Of bloody gold

4. Mystery and Fear

The last thing I remember
Was the beauty of her face
Pictures from another time
Just a notion of embrace

The ghostly touch of innocence
Reflected in her eyes
The secret that she holds for me
Is buried under lies

and fear...
it's all here

No one cared what happened in that night
And how or why the young girl died

Reveal the secrets of the past to me
I must find out to set her free

I came into a store
Saw the picture of a young girl
On the wall
Who is she, what is her name
I wanted to know more
And asked a man
But he did not say a thing

Reveal the secrets of the past to me
Who is the girl on the photography

I went out of that store
Met an older woman who
Took me to her house
We talked a while, then she asked:
�You want to know more?�
And she told me everything that she knew:

�Men in the dark
A fire burned bright
Terrific laughter
Echoes at night
An innocent girl
She was so young
Judged by the crowd
The mob was too strong
Screams an despair
Flames burning high
Scapegoat for all
�The witch has to die�
Still I awake
Night after night
And remember�

All I hear is terrifying
You were near when she was dying
Why did you not give her a hand
Please help me to understand

How could I
I did try
I was alone and could not help

Help me, save me
Save me from the flames

Reveal the secrets of the past to me
What lies beyond this mystery

Mystery and fear - The answers are now clear
Vanished in the past - Memories do last

5. Gaia

I see her face in front of me
Day by day
Pearl white skin, the eyes so green
Crimson lips and ebony hair

She holds me tight in her arms
Day by day
She gave me birth and takes my life
Watching every step we make

Let me see right through you eyes
And show me what you are
Take me there beyond the skies
Anytime, anywhere

I see her face in front of me
But how long
Bleeding skin pale green eyes
The lips are rough and the hair is gray

Let me see right through your eyes
And show me what you are
Take me there beyond the skies
Anytime, anywhere

Let me see right through your eyes
And show me what you are
Take me there beyond the skies
Anytime, anywhere

7. Remember me

Drifting far away
With the clouds from yesterday
To a life already gone
Into tomorrow

Faces in the sky
Always asking why
Forgotten thoughts and memories
No one could foresee

A daydream is not real
The wounds too deep to heal
So much pain for a heart
Like candles in the storm

Drifting far away
Leaving here and today
To a world already gone
Into tomorrow

Will you remember me
The Hands of time do not forgive
Tomorrow is yesterday
I had to go that I could live again

Free from the strings that bound me
To this life and this world
But I will be there when you need me
Send a thought and I�ll be there

Will you remember me
The Hands of time do not forgive
Tomorrow is yesterday
I had to go that I could live again

I will remember you
All the time forevermore
My strength will pull you through
I�ll be there like I�ve been there before

Like I�ve been there before...

8. Checkmate

I know where you have been
What you did and what you've seen
Darkened secrets in your mind
Fool the rest but I'm not blind

Waiting now for your next action
Every move forces a reaction
Silently watching, expecting all
No one's there to stop your fall

I can�t believe that you did
What your heart always forbid
Pay the prize for ignorance
Draw the line, accept the consequence

Make your move I am prepared
Facing the queen
I see you through and I'm not scared
Kill the king

Not over yet it has just begun
Touched and moved it can�t be undone
Step by step and eye to eye
Regret the faults you can�t deny

On the edge you don�t change the course
It�s too late to show remorse
Watch the mirror, see you face
You have fallen far from grace

Make your move I am prepared
Facing the queen
I see you through so I'm not scared
Kill the king

The battle�s won
But war will never end
It rages on
So try to understand

Keep in mind
You decide your fate
One wrong move: Checkmate
