1. Originem
Nos sumus conjuncti
Fontem nostram quaerentes
Originem sciendi
Nos pleni vigoris
Quo colendo res fiunt
Sic naturam fingimus
Aenigma solventes
Edrediamur
Nil, certum est
2. The Second Stone
O, ne moriar bis
Oro supplex
Sometimes I feel like my reason is weakening
My inner clock's forcing time to stand still
I'm breaching borders between life and sanity
That's when it all starts to shatter in front of me
Liberate me
Why don't you liberate me?
Sometimes I feel I'm betraying my memory
This time it seems that I'm losing the fight
Finding it hard to be consciously part of life
That's when awareness and dreams start to separate
Reunite me
It's time to reunite me
As time goes by I hide the truth
Cannot stand myself with a broken shell
As time goes by I try to choose
Don't know where to roam in this private hell
Give me relief
Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality
My train of thoughts got lost somewhere along the way
I'm chasing shadows that cross on my path
Repeating visions that dance faster than my mind
Can't stop the rain casting shadows on my parade
Can't defeat me
I will not bow to defeat
As time goes by I hide the truth
Cannot stand myself with a broken shell
As time goes by I try to choose
8. Chemical Insomnia
Everlasting nights leave all views behind
Limits will become less clear and
A misty memory played out in a dream
This endeavor is causing fear
That's why I can't explain
This is stabbing pain
Come undone in nightly rhyming
Charity
Can you believe it
How nature's left its trace
Could we foresee it
What skies erased
We all are trying
We all are dying in nature's arms...
In moment of deadly gloom
Youg lives ended way too soon
The facts that are all untrue
Spread lies that were not thought through
Fight off the catastrophes
Find true inner sanctity
In modern society
Nothing to hide, lives to obtain
Welfare is stained, time to come clean again
13. The Quantum Enigma - Kingdom Of Heaven Part II Visum commutamus
Nihil certum
Qui observat, visi
Pars est
The quantum enigma
All your laws and the assumptions
Leave them all behind
There's no grounds for them right here where time can't go
If we can't move on and keep all leaning on the past
We will regret
We can't get what we wish for
New perspective keep us inspired
The quantum enigma
All the shadows and illusions
We tend to believe
Are creations of our own deceiving mind
If we can't let go and keep chasing satisfying needs
We will not get
How to forget our sapience
New perceptions keep us inspired
Ingenuity is required
When we will look around and see
We will affect the energy
When we observe by any means
We will create reality
This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next
All that remains is just a feint of what was meant to be
This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next
And nothing seems in life, in dreams like what was meant to be
5. Illusive Consensus
So sweet caress, never long to last!
You entered my soul and gave hope to my life.
So sweet caress, never hope to last!
You left me behind all alone and aghast
Captured inside such an austere Elysium
Imperfect feelings, futile grief
Love a device against all solitude
As it all went on, the love became
A field in a dream that once had been real
So sweet caress, never long to last!
Destroy this illusion we need a change of fate!
Your frantic thoughts are only a condemned cry
Primo somniare videbamur deinde veritas se praecipitavit
I secretly longed for something which had never existed
First I thought it was a dream but then it smashed into reality
Beautiful on the outside, decayed deeply within
I secretly longed for something which had never existed
Devoted to a body without a soul
Numquam non tibi diffidam
6. Faade Of Reality "The Embrace That Smothers - Part V"
Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit
Macula aeternitatis
Numquam detergenda
Quisnam surget et deteget
Imaginem veritates?
People created religious inventions
To give their lives a glimmer of hope
And to ease their fear of dying
And people created religious intentions
Only to feel superior and to have a license to kill
Our desire to die is stronger
Do you exist?
The Phantom Agony
I can't taste you, I can't think of you,
Do we exist at all?
[II. Between hope and despair]
The future doesn't pass
And the past won't overtake the present
All that remains is an obsolete illusion
We are afraid of all the things that could not be
A phantom agony
Do we dream at night
Or do we share the same old fantasy?
I am a silhouette of the person wandering in my dreams
Tears of unprecedented beauty
Reveal the truth of existence
We're all sadists
The age-old development of consciousness
Drives us away from the essence of life
We meditate too much, so that our instincts will fade away
They fade away
What's the point of life
And what's the meaning if we all die in the end?
Does it make sense to learn or do we forget everything?
Tears of unprecedented beauty
Reveal the truth of existence
We're all pessimists
Teach me how to see and free the disbelief in me
What we get is what we see, the Phantom Agony
A te spiritus noster devoratur et nostra anima capitur
[III. Nevermore]
The lucidity of my mind has been revealed in new dreams
I am able to travel where my heart goes
In search of self-realization
This is the way to escape from our agitation
And develop ourselves
Use your illusion and enter my dream...
1. Indigo - Prologue
Quaestio nostra est aeterna
Ultima requies fons vitae
Sed nos eam novam existimemus
2. The Obsessive Devotion
Don't you ever blind me
Don't be a foolish thief
-Am I?
Don't you ever bring yourself to grief
Don't you ever blind me
Don't ever trick my mind
-Did I?
Don't you think that you can lie to me
-Did I lie?
Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet
If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured.
I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else
Don't you choke and bind me
Don't be a bleeding heart
-Am I?
Fold then walk away or play your cards
-Let us play!
Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet
If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured.
I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else
I can't even recognize the path which has to be
Taken to enter infinity.
-Don't you dare me
I dare you
-You don't care about me
I care about you
-Don't you touch me
-Liar
Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
(Enough)
It was,
Never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror that you've put me through
(Never enough)
How can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line
Everlasting need
Would you please?
Answer me and
Make me complete
Everlasting greed
Would you please?
Set me free
Fulfill all my needs and make complete
(Enough)
It was,
Never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror that you've put me through
(Never enough)
How can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line
Never again will I be with you
No promise eternal carrying us through
I finally made up my mind this time
This is the end, I've drawn the line
Never enough to devour your greed
6. La'petach Chatat Rovetz - The Final Embrace
[Instrumental]
7. Death Of A Dream - The Embrace That Smothers Part VII
I followed your rules
A willing fool
Branded by shame
My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I bear so many scars, hit me hard
Time to change we have to rearrange
For this has gone too far, way too far
Creating new laws and living by unwritten rules
Restricting us
My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I can't let go
Just do it
10. Beyond Belief
Wisdom, knowledge, science
Develops, always, better, faster
This is the final end
A voice in the wilderness
Fights a futile war
Because the strong are deaf
More so then before
Massive disregard
Shows what to expect
Scars on top of scars
Racing toward a future we don't have
Fear is taking over me, there is nothing I can see
The Future is as certain
As life will come to an end
When time feels like a burden
We struggle with our certain death
Wisdom, knowledge, science
Develops, always, better, faster
We have to guide ourselves
For we cannot stand
One more false pretence getting out of hand
Now fear is the driving force
Taking over us Aad finding out this source
May turn out to be too much to bear
Fear is taking over me, there is nothing I can see
How could this have come to be
The Future is as certain
As life will come to an end
When time feels like a burden
We struggle with our certain death
Wisdom, knowledge, science
Develops, always, better, faster
Defeats us
Science, knowledge, wisdom
Destroys us, always, ever, faster
I am safe in here
I'm where I want to be
It's a place where a wish will be granted
Come, you'll see I'm right
It's a force that will live on within you
Dark as day is light
It's a place where your dreams will be slanted
And will always be
It's a force that was sent out to win you
Just you wait and see
You will not find me
I am safe in here
I am where I want to be
So leave me now in peace
And you will not find me
I am safe in here
I'm where I want to be
It's a place where a wish will be granted
Come, you'll see I'm right
It's a force that will live on within you
Dark as day is light
It's a place where your dreams will be slanted
And will always be
It's a force that was sent out to win you
Just you wait and see
13. The Divine Conspiracy
Quaestio nostra est aeterna
Ultima requies fons vitae
Sed eam ut novam ducemus
We will never know all possibilities to predict what is to come
And so we have illusions to think freely
Once we had been
Rich from within
Did not try to reach
What we couldn't achieve
Because once we had been
Able to win
From the need to succeed
We need to be innocent to live the life we've lived for so long
We need to be blind enough to live the life we live right now
Who possesses your time also possesses your mind
Once we had been
1. Karma
[Music by Mark Jansen, Coen Janssen, Simone Simons]
[Lyrics by Mark Jansen]
Dominus Sum Rerum Gestarum Mearum
Heresque Sum Rerum Omnium A Me Gestarum
Ortus Ex
Natus Ex
Meis Factis
Sum Coniunctus Cum Meis Gestis
Meis Gestis Sum Affirmatus
Tale Monacho Revolvendum est
Adiutus his vivo
2. Monopoly On Truth
[Music by Isaac Delahaye, Mark Jansen, Simone Simons]
[Lyrics by Mark Jansen, Simone Simons]
Nos docti, pensantes
Sed non semper veridici
At the Zenith of wisdom
No defying myself
Defying myself
To the point of reaction
You propose and I dispose
I see what you mean
It's clear, what you say
The truth isn't just a derivative of your views
Truth is a fiction of your views
These are my thoughts
No discussion
My righteous plan
Just think it over now
Another point of view
It's time we realize our errs
Where it is leading to if nobody sees it
There's never an absolute
Nos docti
Sed non semper veridici
I can be so enchanting
With words beset in gold
Beset in gold
We condemn aggression
We could find our destination now
Find it here somehow
When an action bids retraction to begin
You will feel what it's like to suffer for your sins
Temptation has destroyed so many brilliant minds
Fate pays the deviant with agony in kind
We will commence
Your chance is now
12. Avalanche
[Music by Mark Jansen, Isaac Delahaye, Simone Simons]
[Lyrics by Simone Simons]
Feels like living in a dream
From which I cannot wake
Voices leading me astray
Cannot hide
Feels like I am growing weaker
I cant deny
Whatevers hurting me
Wont leave me
Here at ease
And I can see your secrecy
Has gone away
In another time
You left me
For someone else
Who'd serve your every need
And set your
World apart
The strain is now
Unbearable,
Turned me to stone
For all the hardship in my way
Hold on, move on
Hear me!
Now hide your face while you carry on 'till the grief comes
Save your soul from the downfall
To give and take was not an option
You had to run and sweep it all away
Leave not a heart to mend
That day I cast so far behind, Im moving on
Deciding where to go
And believe in your disaster
Deleting a future untold
This is the final deceiver
This is the devil in me
Expecting deeds in the making
Will show no final relief
Ever would we dance
With the reaper
Seething in a monstrous cage
Ideas meant to placate
When meeting your disaster
Are only for a desperate fool
Destructive thoughts to mislead us
Can come from deep underground
Believing sources unbroken
Will tear the legion apart
Will we be forever free as we unchain our souls
From life forever
You are just a slave to the dust
Another time, where you and me will be freed
With one more last endeavour
You cannot escape your fate now
No
Try me, don't deny me
Please embrace me in your peace
I want to fly into the bright
Would you please guide my last goodbye
Why won't you lie with me, my light's ending
On a night when I find, I'll take my final flight
Now come and see divinity where night turns day
So far away from heaven
You will never earn my trust
Provoke the need, give word to deed,
And dive into another God-like atmosphere
You will never find your way out
No
Try me, don't deny me
Please embrace me in your peace
I want to fly into the bright
Would you please guide my last goodbye
Why won't you lie with me, my light's ending
On a night when I find, I'll take my final flight
