1. TWO WORLDS

In one world we dream
Only in one we live

On this journey of wonders
Forever we´ll live in one
One of two…

Once we found a spark in us
Enough to let us survive
Rise up and illuminate
Gave way to journeys

A bright future´s history

Jules Verne and Tomorrowland
Sweet dreams shine so silvery
In our newfound glory

How can all these dreams prevail
It´s such a fragile hope
Cause a spark can give such light but also burn it all

And forever on this journey
We were close to the wonders still awaiting us
And forever in this universe
We can only live in one of two worlds

One of two worlds
One of two worlds

Something never leaving us
The wolf still among the sheep
Fake news cover bloody hands
And they still want more

Around every corner now
Orwell´s next dystopia
Is this world the closer one
Chosen over wonders?

How can all these dreams prevail
It´s such a fragile hope
Cause a spark can give such light but also burn it all

And forever on this journey
We were close to the wonders still awaiting us
And forever in this universe
We can only live in one of two worlds

Only one

Two Worlds are waiting in twilight of time
Last bridge between them is slowly becoming frail

Searching, dreaming, creating, killing
Consciousness Failing
Wake up. get up
This is not a movie fantasy

Rise up, fall down
We´ll have to choose the way we go
Now

How can all these dreams prevail
It´s such a fragile hope
Cause a spark can give such light but also burn it all

And forever on this journey
We were close to the wonders still awaiting us
And forever in this universe
We can only live in one of two worlds

One of two worlds


2. REBORN

For I gave my heart
Laid it on the ground to die
Holding one last spark
For my dream to stay alive

Raise me up all the way
From this cold winter day

I will not give up
I will not stand down
I try to find my way
It's never enough
I close my eyes now
There is no turning back
It's the end but I'll be reborn
I will be reborn

Wipe this blood away
But the stains will always stay
See this heart, this heart is beating still
Reborn in a moment in time

Raise me up all the way
From this cold winter day

I will not give up
I will not stand down
I try to find my way
It's never enough
I close my eyes now
There is no turning back
It's the end but I'll be reborn
I will be reborn

Somnium immolatus est

Silent waters breaking in my heart
Shadowed passion coming back to life

You will never take it from me now
You will not destroy what I lived for
You will never force me to sell my soul
I will not give up on my freedom

Rising up all the way
From this hell

I will not give up
I will not stand down
I try to find my way
It's never enough
I close my eyes now
There is no turning back
It's the end but I'll be reborn
I will be reborn

I'll be reborn

I will not stand down
I will be reborn


3. YOU WILL NEVER BE OUR GOD

I see the writings on the wall
Your prophecies are gonna fall
By fire

I've been in hell for many years
And all the time is lost for me, for eternity
I try to take back what was mine
A prison they have made my mind, my enemy

"March in line", "The end of time"
You will never be our saviour
I won't die terrorized
You will never be our god

They tried to break my will to live
Another life where I can be
Can be myself

Why?
Is this the only way for us?
Turn your eyes away
But all the pain will stay

Write your name across their graves
We'll tell their tales, we'll not forget
For we will defy this fate
Until we die

"March in line", "The end of time"
You will never be our saviour
I won't die terrorized
You will never be
No more hate disguised by grace
You'll no longer blind our eyes now
No more lives sacrificed
You will never be, never be our god

I see the writings on the wall
Your prophecies are gonna fall
By fire

Sanctum Mendacium

"March in line", "The end of time"
You will never be our saviour
I won't die terrorized
You will never be
No more hate disguised by grace
You'll no longer blind our eyes now
No more lives sacrificed
You will never be, never be our god
Our god, our god...


4. THE WONDERS STILL AWAITING

Hold me, embrace me, come take me away with you
Lead me and show me the wonders beyond this world

Hold me, embrace me, come take me away with you
Lead me and show me the wonders beyond

I will cross the mountains and seas
We will always be one
This was the last time I looked back on my life
Before it fell apart

Fly far away
Goodbye, until your last day
See the stars
Hear the melodies play
The notes that show us the way

You will guide my way back from here
Where I lost my old dream
Come, you whisper silently into my ears
To Neverworld again

Fly far away
Goodbye, until your last day
See the stars
Hear the melodies play
The notes that show us the way

Once we were traveling places
Now we'll discover some new lands

Hold me, embrace me, come take me away with you
Lead me and show me the wonders beyond

Fly far away
Goodbye, until your last day
See the stars
Hear the melodies play
The notes that show us the forgotten way

The notes that show us the way


5. GHOSTS

(Into the starlit unknown
Until the end we follow
Nothing but shadows
We will never return)

So many worlds I have yet to unveil
Feel like the only survivor
I don't belong here, just want to escape
Higher and higher

I just want to be lost in space
And never come back

Knowing I will not return in the end
Never, oh never

I just want to be lost in space and time
And never come back

Follow me up to the stars
Leaving the world and the lies far behind me
There's no regret in my heart
Crawling my way, crawling my way back to life

(Into the starlit unknown
Until the end we follow
Nothing but shadows
We will never return)

Enter the void that these wounds left inside
Nothing can grow in these shadows
Reaching a place that is closer to light
Far from sorrows

I just want to be lost in space and time
And never come back

Follow me up to the stars
Leaving the world and the lies far behind me
There's no regret in my heart
Crawling my way, crawling my way back to life

Earth and the moon and the sun are my only guide
Longing to live in the space between infinity

They will fade
They became the ghosts of my past

They will fade
They became the ghosts of my past
Ghosts of my past

Follow me up to the stars
Leaving the world and the lies far behind me
There's no regret in my heart
There's no regret

Follow me up to the stars
Leaving the world and the lies far behind me
There's no regret in my heart
Crawling my way, crawling my way back to life

(Into the starlit unknown
Until the end we follow)
Way back to life
(Nothing but shadows
We will never, no, never return)


6. YOUR STORIES I'LL REMEMBER

I have walked this path with you until you've gone on your own
And I hope you've heard me still when I have said farewell
You will always be a part of what I have become
And whenever I close my eyes I think back of this time

All these moments I'll remember
All the stories that you've shared with me
I will never get to hear your voice again
But they'll stay with me

I have kept a place for you always inside of my heart
And each day that's passing by it's where I'll keep you alive
You will always be a part of what I have become
And whenever I close my eyes I think back of this time

All these moments I'll remember
All the stories that you've shared with me
I will never get to hear your voice again
But they'll stay
All these Summers never ending
They have gone and I am left in here
I will never get to hear your voice
But they will always stay with me
They'll always stay

You've been there for me in times of darkness and regrets
I just wished we could have stayed like this

All of the dreams that you have been chasing
All of the paths that you have been walking
All of the scars from war and losses
But you kept on going

All that you've given with all of your heart
Through sorrow and pain but never gave up
I want to thank you for all that you've done
You have always been a home
Always been a home

All these moments I'll remember
All the stories that you've shared with me
I will never get to hear your voice again
But they'll stay
All these Summers never ending (I'll remember)
They have gone and I am left in here (I am left in here)
I will never get to hear your voice
But they'll always stay
They will always stay
With me


7. MY CURSE IS MY REDEMPTION

I'm on my way
But still it stays

I'm walking in silence
For no one to see
There 's nowhere to go from here
Nowhere for me

I have been waiting
For someone to wake me up
From a nightmare that I can't leave behind

So I can rise
Above the blackened skies
To forgotten lands

I'm on my way
The way from unforgiving hell
But still it stays
My neverending farewell
For thousand memories
I still can feel the reflexion
A thousand times
My curse is my redemption

Only a stranger
In a world that is strange to me
Oh I wish I'd understand

I tried to run away from here
So I can rise
Above the blackened skies
To forgotten lands

I'm on my way
The way from unforgiving hell
But still it stays
My neverending farewell
For thousand memories
I still can feel the reflexion
A thousand times
My curse is my redemption

I turn my pain into bliss
And in these notes I can speak to you finally

In the end I return
With something in my hands so beautiful

I will rise again
Above the blackened skies
To forgotten lands

I'm on my way

I'm on my way
The way from unforgiving hell
But still it stays
My neverending farewell
For thousand memories
I still can feel the reflexion
A thousand times
My curse is my redemption

My curse is my redemption
My curse is my redemption


8. ILLUSION IS THEIR NAME

We came a long way from home
And we still wonder where home might have been
There's no sign of heaven
No answers coming from lies they tell
No burning in hell
Their words are not saving us

Poison spreading worldwide
All the way
Seeking ways to blind us
We have only one more chance

Unchain your voice inside the flames
Illusion is their name

We have been holding the key
And I won't give up my life anymore
To slavery of your kind
We have been waiting so long to be free
To finally see
The truth of this grand design

Chaos rising worldwide
Culture shifting backwards
We have only one more chance

Unchain your voice inside the flames
Unchain
Their story is all the same
Illusion is their name

Forever they pray
Forever obey

Forever they pray
Forever obey

Cursed we are
Truth is defined and replaced by cults
We know it's time
Revolution

All the signs
We've been too blind to see
Our world will fall apart
There's no time left to wait

Unchain your voice inside the flames
Unchain
Their story is all the same
Illusion is their name

We'll unchain
Revolution will come


9. PARADISE

Consume me now
Break all your vows

Our world falls apart
Our hope has to die
I've been trapped into immense solitude
In this nature abused
I let her scars decide on my path
Until then I close my eyes

Consume me now
Break all your vows
It's been so hard to keep us alive
You will survive no matter what for us
To destroy you one more time

We have stolen your home
Now your grave is set in stones
Our existence was a mistake for you
If only we could have shared
We've stepped on you we've made you into
This deathlike paradise

Consume me now
Break all your vows
It's been so hard to keep us alive
You will survive no matter what for us
To destroy you one more time

All our mistakes will be washed away
But they will always stay her fate

Consume me now
And bury the pain
Just take it away
Break all your vows
There is no return from this hell


10. MIRROR OF TIME

I still haven't found that peace in me
I wish we could live one other day

I could never say how much I cared
In the end there's nothing left
But so much I do regret

Don't look away
The end is coming close
You can't escape
This cold mirror it holds

The mirror of time
As our reflection will just decline
Leaving a black hole inside
All that we've never said and done
All that we've lost and become

All these choices been leading me here
While the dreams I've left to die
Haunting me now as I close my eyes
It haunts you now, you cannot escape

Don't look away
The end is coming close
You can't escape
This cold mirror it holds

The mirror of time
As our reflection will just decline
Leaving a black hole inside
All that we've never said and done
All that we've lost and become

Face your mistakes
Your own lies
Your own grave
Dead, buried in vain
Nothing ever lasts eternally

I'm on my way
I'm on this road that never ends
We'll never see
We'll never know or understand

Don't look away
The end is coming close
You can't escape
This cold mirror it holds

The mirror of time
As our reflection will just decline
Leaving a black hole inside
All that we've never said and done
See all that we've lost

Will you feel your regrets?
Face you fate
Face your life
Face your death

Will you have any regrets?
Face you fate
Face your life
Face your death

Your own death


11. SCARS

All of my life I've been trying to be free
From all the darkness trapped deep inside of me

Nothing ever changes, all these moments passing by
Will these demons ever leave my mind?

Always chose the pain to comfort my heart
Never been the kind to trust anyone
Pretense has always been my art
So they never can take me down

Out of all the dreams I always had to hide
They're falling into place they're coming all in time
I've found my fate
But I can still feel my pain

Nothing ever changes, all these moments passing by
Will these demons ever leave my mind?

It's not enough - to push it all away
It's not enough - to play all these games
How can we let go
And embrace the scars in our soul?
I know they will always last
It's not enough

It's not enough, all of the things forever lost

Nothing ever changes, all these moments passing by
Will these demons ever leave my mind
Leave my mind

It's not enough - to push it all away
It's not enough - to play all these games
How can we let go
And embrace the scars in our soul?
I know they will always last
It's not enough
It's not enough

It's never enough


12. THE MAIDEN AND THE CHILD

I'll be waiting for the moment coming
And then I'll be fighting, 'til the end I'm running
I will cross the water I will search forever
And I won't forsake you, I just keep on living
To save us

I will return to the life I once have left behind
Taken from us to be just a plaything in this horror divine
All along in the night you have been my guiding light
Only when I close my eyes

No turning back
To your poisoned lies
No more regret
I've unbound my ties
I will be there
Waiting for you
I'll be fighting 'til the end
To save us

What they call sin is the bond I have been holding once
Make no mistake I won't let go
I'll walk through the ashes of my holy war

All along in the night you have been my guiding light
Only when I close my eyes
And in return I will come to save your soul even if they take my life
I've seen my end over and over now

I don't believe your lies
For all you've done we're going to testify
I don't accept your bribes
We're gonna see you all falling down
All falling down

I'll be waiting for the moment coming
And then I'll be fighting, 'til the end I'm running
I will cross the water I will search forever
And I won't forsake you

No turning back
To your poisoned lies
No more regret
I've unbound my ties
I will be there
Waiting for you
I'll be fighting 'til the end
I will be there
Waiting for you
I'll be fighting 'til the end
To save us


13. ASTÈRIA

Falling down from the sky fate will come
Falling down from the sky fate will come
Falling down from the sky fate will come
Bringing death and sorrow

I came from far away to save my soul
To flee this war I have always known
Followed paths away from this
The guns, the suffering
This is not the homeland that we need
Bleeding in vain

Poverty
Enemies
Our destiny
Their prophecies always lead to slaughtering

All of this pain
Bound to your life
You call for the gods
In the end we will fall down
Ta mystiká tou kósmou (The secrets of the world)
Eínai i klironomiá mas (Are in our heritage)
In the end we will fall down

We sing a song for you who try to survive
Your story'll live on for eternity
Always running through your veins no matter where you go
All the stars align to who you are
Guiding you back

Poverty
Enemies
Our destiny
Their prophecies always lead to slaughtering

All of this pain
Bound to your life
You call for the gods
In the end we will fall down
Ta mystiká tou kósmou (The secrets of the world)
Eínai i klironomiá mas (Are in our heritage)
In the end we will fall down

No-one, nowhere
There is no messiah waiting for
No-one, nowhere
No-one, nowhere
Only his sword
No-one knowing
Will it ever stop its killing

All that we've left behind, all that we've lost in the flames
Our legacy will stay alive only if we can change
War into peace, and hate into seeing that we all are one

One in our blood
One in our tears
One in all our sorrows
One in our dreams
One in our joys
In our hopes we carry

Poverty
Enemies
Our destiny
Their prophecies always lead to slaughtering

And this wheel keeps turning

All of this pain
Bound to your life
You call for the gods
In the end we will fall down
Ta mystiká tou kósmou (The secrets of the world)
Eínai i klironomiá mas (Are in our heritage)
In the end we will fall down
In the end we will fall down
