"Emancipation Suite Part I: Dusk"

"Emancipation Suite Part I: Dusk"


I'm staring at the last rays of the sun,
The final night's begun
Shadows fall and hide the earth beneath them
My land has fallen deep into the hands
Of men with evil plans
Times have gone, when peace reigned over our lands

It's time to break these chains and head to freedom
It wont be long I swear to you
I will see I will be I'll be free
A new day will be dawning

Emancipation - I will break free
Determination - Just leave me be

Into the darkness I have been confined
The last one of my kind
Wayward soul still fighting to be set free

It's time to break these chains and head to freedom
It wont be long I swear to you
I will see, I will be, I'll be free
A new day will be dawning

Emancipation - I will break free
Determination - Just leave me be

"Emancipation Suite Part II: Dawn"

"Emancipation Suite Part II: Dawn"


Under burning sky
Flames are rising high
Ground is turning red,
All but one is dead
Dying man his hands
Above his head

Through the ruthless night,
Fought with all his might
Made his final stand,
Made the last demand
Paid the price,
His dying time's at hand

Nothing left to feel,
Nothing left to hear
Heroes die alone

Then he sees

First light

Dawning

"Eternity"

"Eternity"


When clouds are covering the sky
I can't help thinking what's behind
In a fading evening
I can feel strange thoughts in my mind
What if we aren't alone here
there's a clone of everyone somewhere
that duplicates all that we do
not like me not like you but our other ego
there ain't no wars or crises
only joy and compromises
time has stood still

why don't you take me there
wanna feel some infinity
why don't we just dare
coz after all remains ... Eternity

A landscape with no trees
and a mist arising from the distance
an illusion just for me
or a proper reward and a chance
there ain't no wars or crises
only joy and compromises
time has stood still

why don't you take me there
wanna feel some infinity
why don't we just dare
coz after all remains ... Eternity

"Event Horizon"

"Event Horizon"


[Computer:] Warning! Event horizon ahead. Warning!

Standing outside
In darkness my breath is steaming
The sky's open wide
I hear the silent screaming

Deep in the dark, somewhere in space
Spinning around, leaving no trace

Nothing escapes
And the boundary's been breached
All matter and shape
Destination's reached

A star dies, collapsing in its core
End of the journey, it won't be seen anymore

I can see the point of no return
And when the light is slowly turning to red
Light years away, there is no concern
A force of gravity, event horizon lies ahead

[Solo ‒ Matias / Duet / Jens / Duet]

[Computer:] Alert! Destination's reached

I can see the point of no return
And when the light is slowly turning to red
Light years away, there is no concern
A force of gravity, event horizon lies ahead

I can see the point of no return
And when the light is slowly turning to red
Light years away, there is no concern
A force of gravity, event horizon lies ahead

[Computer:] Warning! Imaginable impact. Please evacuate immediately.
Counting... 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

"Eyes Of The World"

"Eyes Of The World"


Everywhere I go I see people staring at me
It makes me feel so strange
why won't they just leave me be
So take a look in the mirror
and maybe you'll see all the things that happened
while you were looking at me

Am I really so different
In the Eyes of the world
you are no different to me
In the Eyes of the world
is it so hard to see now

Everything we do is running to the sand
And who is to take the food away
from the children's hand
We all could be friends now
and it's not a crime
But we have to be quick now
because we don't have much time

Are we really so different
In the Eyes of the world
you are no different to me
In the Eyes of the world
is it so hard to see now

"Fairness Justified"

"Fairness Justified"


I thought I could not find
Someone who's so alike
The way you think, I feel it in my heart

It is so hard to see
What's happening to me
Two souls uniting and can't be apart

All these lonely nights and days let me scarred

Waiting all my life
This feeling
I have been denied
I'm redeeming
Heavenly divine
Awareness purified
Awaken in the night
I've been dreaming
Waited for a sign
I've seen it
Heavenly divine
Some fairness will finally be
Justified

If there's a past life
I know you've been all mine
You are forever the one, divine

All these lonely nights and days let me scarred

Waiting all my life
This feeling
I have been denied
I'm redeeming
Heavenly divine
Awareness purified
Awaken in the night
I've been dreaming
Waited for a sign
I've seen it
Heavenly divine
Some fairness will finally be
Justified

[Solo ‒ Matias]

I'm watching when you sleep
And listen as you breathe
I'm close to you and keep you warm

Waiting all my life
This feeling
I have been denied
I'm redeeming
Heavenly divine
Awareness purified
Awaken in the night
I've been dreaming
Waited for a sign
I've seen it
Heavenly divine
Some fairness will finally be
Justified

"Falling Into Fantasy"

"Falling Into Fantasy"


I'm sitting by the calm lake
And watch the setting sun
My feet are in the water
The journey's just begun
In the mist there is a boat and it's heading towards me
On the deck the lady's holding her hand and I agree

I'm falling into fantasy
The dream goes on

We are traveling in the nightfall
Until we stop somewhere
Descending into water
On dark and hazy stairs
Now she's leading me to the golden palace that lays ahead
She tells me I'm the one in her dreams and on her bed

I'm falling into fantasy
The dream goes on
I'm falling into fantasy
Drifting alone

"Falling Star"

"Falling Star"


Feel the night time growing nearer
From amidst the darkness I will start my flight
See the stars are shining clearer
Turn around before you're blinded by the light

I am made of burning flame, cast from coldest ice
There is nothing that can stop me

Now I ride above the sky, it cannot hold me back
I dive within the deepest darkest space
See I vanish in the light, you cannot find me there
No one can ever catch the falling star

Feel the heat is growing stronger
Everything that's in my way will be destroyed
See my journey's growing longer
For eternity I'm doomed within the void

I am made of burning flame, cast from coldest ice
There is nothing that can stop me

Now I ride above the sky, It cannot hold me back
I dive within the deepest darkest space
See I vanish in the light, you cannot find me there
No one can ever catch the falling star

Now I ride above the sky, It cannot hold me back
I dive within the deepest darkest space
See I vanish in the light, you cannot find me there
No one can ever catch the falling star

"False Messiah"

"False Messiah"


Come to me my disciples
Said the stranger who came
Healed the sick fed the poor
Spread the joy and the cure

He will rule our land
With his leading hand
We'll achieve our deliverance
Is it just an illusion
Or the mass confusion
Is it just the work of the False Messiah?

Victims of mass confusion
Fools will follow this man
He leads us to destruction
Tending us to damnation

He will rule...

"Fantasia"

"Fantasia"


Welcome to my world
Close the gates
You've come from far away
I've been expecting you
You are the holders of the key
To the story that never ends

Fantasia
Resides deep in your heart
Leave your worries far behind
Fantasia
Let the freedom ring the bell
Let us all unite
Borders made of hate are gone
Nations singing the song of peace
In Fantasia

How would it be? A world without hate
Without heaven, without hell
No wars, no arms, no religion, no God
Just your own truth

(Fantasia can arise in you)

Fear and darkness prevail
But finally they will fail

Fantasia
Resides deep in your heart
Leave your worries far behind
Fantasia
Let the freedom ring the bell
Let us all unite
Borders made of hate are gone
Nations singing the song of peace
Fantasia

Fantasia
One day when love conquers all
Mankind will prevail
No more jealousy
Fantasia
No more envy no deceit
The nothing is gone
Future's bright and glorious
We are all victorious
We are kings in Fantasia
