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

Don't know where to roam in this private hell


Give me relief
Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality
Ne moriar bis
Another life, another mind close to insanity
Another road, a cryptic code the second stone
All that is left is a cross that's mine to bear
A curse with no ending drenched in anxiety
O, ne discedam bis
Oro supplex
As time goes by I hide the truth
Cannot stand myself with a broken shell
Give me relief
Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality
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
Ne moriar bis
3. The Essence Of Silence
Something is wrong
My strength has gone
Thoughts are corrupting my mind
I can see I perceive this aint me
Something so strong
My mood has swung
I cant get it out of my head
I believe that my mind misleads me
(We confuse)
Is it a doubt you try to hide
(Tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside
(We appear)
Its just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
(Memory stuck in your mind)
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Search for essence
Find the silence within you
(The essence is)

Youre searching and bursting


There seems to be no cure
When tension endures
Delusions corrupting my mind
I can see I perceive this aint me
There seems to be no way
When light fades to grey
To get them all out my head
I believe that my mind misleads me
(We confuse)
Is it a doubt you try to hide
(Tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside
(We appear)
Its just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
(Memory stuck in your mind)
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Search for your essence
Find the silence within you
(The essence is)
Make a start
Explore your heart
When a persistent memory
Penetrates deep in your mind
Allow the silence to destroy
Your thoughts in every kind
(We confuse)
Is it a doubt you try to hide
(Tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside
(We appear)
Its just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
(Memory stuck in your mind)
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Allow the silence
To wipe your thoughts away
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe

(The essence of silence)


Search for essence
Find the silence within you
(The essence lies IN SILENCE)
4. Victims Of Contingency
Your words are meaningless, as pain fills the void
Hollow words won't hurt no longer
You will regret every life you've destroyed
Blaming the whole world will never make you stronger
Be prepared for the righteous self
If you blame all your failures on someone else
Without any remorse
Without your remorse
If you don't face the weakness of your own self
You will take the same course
You'll take the same course
Your deeds are reasonless, you adore yourself
Empty deeds impress no longer
You will regret everyone you've envied
Blaming it on life will never make you stronger
Be prepared for the confrontation
If you blame all your failures on someone else
Without any remorse
Without your remorse
If you don't face the weakness of your own self
You will take the same course
You'll take the same course
If you blame all your failures on someone else
You avoid every chance
You've lost your last chance
To learn from yourself
If you blame all your failures on someone else
Without any remorse
Without your remorse
If you don't face the weakness of your own self
You will take the same course
You'll take the same course
We can't blame all our failures on someone else
For our own protection
So much to protect
We can't learn from decisions in our own lives
Without self-reflection
We will never flee from contingency

We will never flee from contingency


5. Sense Without Sanity - The Impervious Code See through the veil
Our perspective on life
Defines everything we reach
Most of us will aim for
All the certainties
Beyond the veil
Our perspective on death
Can manifest in many ways
Some of us stay fearful
Til the end of days
As we believe in what we see
We all assume that this is real
Our experience will just hamper us
Sense without your sanity
We've tried to conceive and intertwine circles
Circles of your life
Our knowledge will only hinder us
Sense without your sanity
We've tried to conceive and interweave the cycles of life
Cycles of your life
Death will ease us
See through the veil
Our perspective on birth
Defines how we honor life
An esthetic wonder
Blessed with splendid eyes
As we believe in what we see
We all assume that this is real
Sense without your sanity
Perceive a new reality
Your heart is guiding you into
Blessedness, we will pull through
The longer you wait for the future the shorter it will be
We're searching for the origin
Dig deeper, where we've never been
Carry the light, we should cherish the night
The questions that we cannot solve
We don't know how we should evolve

Carry the light, we should cherish the night


Bring us all to new heights
Our feelings are ready to warm us, to finally heat us up
Our mind will betray us and leave us in coldness, undefined
Our vision of life says what we will experience
Our vision of death defines what we will see
Beyond the veil
Our persperctive on life
Defines everything we see
As we all could aim for
A sense of unity
Se through the veil
Our perspective on death
Defines how we spend our days
Everyone interprets
Things in different ways
As we believe in what we see
We all assume that this is real
Sense without your sanity
Perceive a new reality
Your heart is guiding you into
Blessedness, we will pull through
Sense without your sanity
A changed mentality
Perceive a new reality
Don not sppress
Your heart is guiding you into
Moments of pure blessedness
6. Unchain Utopia
We're in a time where all enterprises fall
We should beware of the wolves that haunt us
They are not all the same, cannot take the blame
Await the time to unchain utopia
Am I the only one who sees the troubled lines?
Reading illusive writings on the mirror
Is there a way that we can all erase mistakes and start anew?
Don't mislead us and stop stabbing with blunt knives
Liberty unchained
We're in a time where all enterprises fall
We should beware of the wolves that haunt us
They are not all the same, cannot take the blame
Await the time to unchain utopia

What is a reason to wreck hopes and all our dreams?


You're leaving endless riddles for the masses
Does it make sense to mend the cracks that you hide behind our backs?
It's afflicted by a virus of the brain
Liberty unchained
Recite the insane
We're in a time where all enterprises fall
We should beware of the wolves that haunt us
They are not all the same, cannot take the blame
We should beware of the lives that are at stake
Before it's all too late
Can we believe it all?
Should we all take the fall?
Our backs against the wall
United we stand tall
Why should we all believe you?
Carry your own burden
We won't succumb to
Your delusion now
We're in a time where all enterprises fall
We should beware of the wolves that haunt us
They are not all the same, cannot take the blame
Await the time to unchain utopia
Why should we all believe you?
Carry your own burden
We won't succumb to
Your deceiving games
Conquer the insane
United we stand tall
Time to free ourselves once more from the ball and chain
7. The Fifth Guardian - Interlude [Instrumental]

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

It's time for me to roll the dice


Absent sanctity is shifting gravity
Addiction's growing faster, making you go insane
Ivory fangs are smiling, you'll have to break the habit
Imprisonment's approaching, catching the savages
The mirror's magic showing chemical insomnia
Don't give in to all of this
Dive into ecstatic bliss
Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free
Waking sunset finds, making restless minds
Wistful moments need enclosure
A new hysteria is fading gravity
Which is slowly taking over
That's why I can't unwind
All thoughts aligned
Floating on rivers that are drying
I fear the beast is rising high
Your intuition's fading, a thumping sound impedes
The daybreak is awaking chemical insomnia
Don't give in to all of this
Dive into ecstatic bliss
Don't you believe what the sands of time see
Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free
And the monsters that consume your energy
Your barbaric puppets live between the cracks of lies from hate revived
Silver secrets shining through the night
An enslaved fool in search of burning light from medicine contrived
Golden treasures turning off the lights
Forbidden fruit tastes better when it can numb the brain
The outcome of the future is looking quite insane
White bricks and darkened stones are building the fundament
The silence's calling out for chemical insomnia
Don't give in to all of this
Dive into ecstatic bliss
Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free
And you should not believe what the sands of time see
Free the lion that's hiding your identity
Fight the monsters that consume your entity
9. Reverence - Living In The Heart An overactive mind where a thousand thoughts come floating by
Will not be able to slow down at time

Don't be afraid, live in the now, enjoy simplicity


Avoid incentives that will make you blind
Don't let it burn you down
Live in the heart
Experience the now
To really know yourself, ignore your mind and find yourself again
Life is always challenging
To really find yourself, you can't be blind to signals you obtain and gain
Thoughts are slowly changing here
Here in the now if you identify with your own heart
Will change your views and make you feel at home
You're not your thoughts, observe how the can be duplicity
Don't follow those that make you drift away
Don't let them pull you down
Live in the heart
Experience the now
To really know yourself, ignore your mind and find yourself again
Life is always challenging
To really find yourself, ignore your mind and find yourself again
Life is always challenging
To really find yourself, you can't be blind to signals you obtain and gain
Thoughts are slowly changing
Reward yourself
To really know yourself, ignore your mind and find yourself again
Life is always challenging
To really find yourself, you can't be blind to signals you obtain and gain
Thoughts are slowly changing
To really know yourself, ignore your mind and find yourself
Life is always challenging
To really know yourself, you can't be blind to signs you gain
Thoughts are always ranging now
10. Omen - The Ghoulish Malady This omen
Deceive us
Misfortune unites us all
When it seems like the world is shattering
Remember that you set your course
When it feels like no one is answering
Revert to your deep inner force
As the bell begins to chime
Together we'll be strong

To defy all that can't bring us down


United standing strong
You will not fight alone
This omen
Deceive us
Misfortune unites us all
When it seems like you're always giving in
Make sure that you take back control
When you can't stand the world we're living in
Remember that you're not alone
As your words are carved in stone
Together we'll be strong
To defy all that can't bring us down
United standing strong
You will not fight alone
Don't drown in a sea full of sorrow and pain
United standing strong, here is where you belong
Your angels will whisper
Nothing is what it seems to be
Search with your heart and you'll find the key
You'll see
Together we'll be strong
To defy all that can't bring us down
United standing strong
You will not fight alone
Don't drown in a sea full of sorrow and pain
United stanting strong, here is where you belong
This omen
Deceive us
Misfortune unites us all
Disaster
Nothing can bring us down
Can't beat us
Together we stand strong
Misfortune
You will not fight alone
Can't bring us down
As one we'll overcome
It unites us all in life
All misery we face in life
11. Canvas Of Life
A thousand signs declined
That traveled through light
Translate this mystery

That covered my eyes


Accept approaching fear
And courage appears
Death is a certainty
It's growing near
Letting go is fateful
Uniting broken rhymes
That visions divide
Painting my memories
That colored my life
Somewhere safe and sheltered
Saved forever
Stuck in the light of day
Waiting for answers
A seed that grew into branches
Another page has turned, ended a letter
Come on home and return to the canvas of life
Shapes and boundaries
Will not disappear
Detangle the misery
And enter new spheres
Facing right and wrong
While waiting for life
Can't change this destiny
The curtain's close by
While your leaves descended
Earth starts to unfold
Stuck in the light of day
Waiting for answers
A seed that grew into branches
Another page has turned, ended a letter
Come on home and return to the canvas of life
You're falling down
While my fortune's alive
We're safe and sound on the ground
Time to found new memories
The stains come alive where the paint has gone dry
You float above looking down reaching out to me
Depicting a beautiful scene that shapes divinity
Stuck in the light of day
Waiting for answers
A seed that grew into branches

Another page has turned, ended a letter


I'll come on home
I'm in the light of day
Questions were answered
A new life's arms are extending
The final page has turned, sending the letter
Come on home
And I'll sing you the song has painted your canvas of life
12. Natural Corruption
Natural corruption
Another day passed by in ruined paradise
Another night will pass until we're sheltered
We're aiming for a life that won't be compromised
And when we say goodbye it's devastating
Now that we have finally realized
Realized, petrified
That profit's made from innocent demise
Profit's made from tragic demise
Another day goes by where money won't suffice
A massive gift was meant as contribution
Our conscience comes to aid that ends up in wrong hands
And once the truth's revealed, intent is fading
Now that we have come to realize
Realized, sanctified
Our hearts subdued by all those thousand cries
Hearts subdued by all those fierce cries
In moments of deadly gloom
Young lives ended way too soon
The facts that are all untrue
Spread lies that wew not thought through
Fight off the catastrophes
Find true inned sanctity
In modern society
Welfare is stained, time to come clean again
Feast on sheer agone
Lean on generosity
Pay in full, it all will vanish without care
Grant us higher proceeds
We'll ease your mind, guaranteed
We should all be reaching out to the despaired
Natural corruption

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

We will not find if we don't seek


We will not know if we don't peek
We cannot do if we don't be
Facing our deadlock now
This is our quantum enigma
We'll ignite the fire
That burns under the rain
All that we desire
Is to find our source again
The meaning of life
All dreamscapes and inventions
We tend to believe
Are creations of our own deceiving mind
If we can't let go and keep chasing satisfying needs
We will forget
How to retrieve true wisdom
New perceptions keep us inspired
Ingenuity is required
The quantum enigma
When will look around and see
We will affect the energy
When we observe by any means
We will create reality
We will not find if we don't seek
We will not know if we don't peek
We cannot do if we don't be
Facing our deadlock now
This is our quantum enigma
[SPOKEN]
"Without a voice the soul is invisible in time and space"
Omne est vigor
Sentimus eum
Sicit concretum
Vigor concrescit
Observatione
Vita est mare
Infinitarum facultatum
Si quae emergant opperiens
Quod inspicimus
Adipiscemur
Each new discovery
That we acclaim

Brings us much closer


To reach our aim
So we will finally see
All of the universe
Exists by being observed
Expanding every day
As we reach further
Let's take this chance to carry on
(We will unravel mysteries)
And take the challenge as it comes
(We will exceed our boundaries)
Let's use this chance to end this strife
(Obliterate anomalies)
Reveal the myths surrounding life
(We will decipher secrecies)
New perceptions keep us inspired
Ingenuity is required
The quantum enigma
When we will look around and see
We will affect the energy
When we observe by any means
We will create reality
We will not find (we will not find)
If we don't seek (if we don't seek)
We will not know (We will not know)
If we don't peek (if we don't peek)
We cannot do (We cannot do)
If we don't be (if we don't be)
Facing our deadlock now
This is our quantum enigma
We cannot find if we do not seek
With our confined capacity
Reveal all mysteries
Quantum enigma
14. In All Conscience
[Digipack Additional Track]
Allow me to write my final words
I can't stand this anymore
Hold me when the time has come
'Cause I don't want to be alone

In my heart you're still here


It's the bond that we share
I can feel you're around everywhere
Even though you are gone
Our spirit is strong
We're honouring all the work that you've done
When there's no chance for a defense
I'll have to bend and give it all
All that I've been standing for
Was an illusion after all
In my heart you're still here
It's the bond that we share
I can feel you're around everywhere
Even though you are gone
Our spirit is strong
We're honouring all the work that you've done
I'll see you somewhere again, away from all insanity
We can't beat injustice, now and for all
I'll see you somewhere again, away from humanity
We can't beat unfairness now on our own
Even though you are gone
Our spirit is strong
I've felt you around all along
In my heart you're still here
It's the bond that we share
I can feel you're around everywhere
Even though you are gone
Our spirit is strong
We're honouring all the work that you've done
I'll see you somewhere again, away from all insanity
We can't beat injustice, now and for all
I'll see you somewhere again, away from humanity
We can't beat unfairness now on our own
15. Dreamscape
[Earbook Additional Track]
Try and define eternity
No beginning and no end
A world upside down
Countless clouds on the ground
I'm a figment of my imagination
Hunt for tricks of light
Thoughts painting colourful dimensions

If we could roam through fantasies


No more dusk and no more dawn
Every little grain of sand shapes the endless land
Mirrors showing limitless reflections
Hunt for tricks of light
Thoughts painting new dimensions
You can make our time stand still
Come and read the sky
Fly with the wings of true emotion
And this time again
It won't be the same
Silent symphonies playing eternally
Every step I take, every bone I break
Every memory shares a symphony
Hunt for tricks of light
Thoughts painting new dimensions
You can make our time stand still
Come and read the sky
Fly with the wings of true emotion
16. Memento
[Vinyl Additional Track]
[Music: Arin Van Weesenbeek & Epica, Lyrics: Simone Simons]
A soul in flames inventing crime
A soul at pace against new times
Her face in red outrules the law
The eyes got caught in devil's claws
Entice me, beguile me
Lost track of my own sanity
Behind me a souvenir
My conscience will show no remorse
(Keep on losing intrinsic battles)
You'll be suffering
(Your atonement will keep you captive)
I will feed the beast
(Losing battles, poisoned apples
Did you find what you're looking for?)
In secret silence
Practiced violence
Name the damned
Gravitating around the fire that burns the sand

A soul in flames invents the hunt


Ignite me
What's left of me
I relish your sweet innocence
Their graces enlighten me
Detaining the sins of our past
(Keep on losing intrinsic battles)
I'll come back for more
(Did you find what you're aiming for?)
In secret silence
Practiced violence
Name the damned
Gravitating around the fire that burns the sand
The secret shining keeps on turning
Imprisons me
A soul in flames inventing crime
A soul at pace against new times
See
Horrid nights
Turn down their lights
Sacrificed
(Losing battles
Poisoned apples
Did you find what you're asking for?)
In secret silence
Practiced violence
Name the damned
Gravitating around the fire that burns the sand
The secret shining keeps on turning
Imprisons me
Chasing hunger, a demon's thunder
Is wounding lambs
17. Banish Your Illusion
[iTunes Additional Track]
When all hope is gone
Our world will fall to pieces
Visions are defeated and beaten
All our dreams will come to an end
Cannot pretend
Another chance for this dominion
A rose reborn through new opinions
Show progress with firm deeds

Fulfill our wishes and needs


A sovereign came forth from ashes
A savior who would lead the masses
Entrance us with wise words
And shine your light upon us
Show progress with firm deeds
Grant us our wishes
Can you save us now our world will end
Crave us now 'cause no one's daring
Liberate the promised land
The tables will be turning
The time has come to free ourselves
Can't you banish your illusion now?
Another chance, a prophecy told
A bliss arose, the sound of new hope
Entrance us with wise words
And shine your light upon us
Show progress with firm deeds
Grant us our wishes
Can you save us now our world will end
Crave us now 'cause no one's daring
Liberate the promised land
The tables will be turning
The time has come to free ourselves
Won't you banish your illusion now?
When all hope is gone
Our world will fall to pieces
Visions are defeated and beaten
All our dreams will come to an end
Cannot pretend
Dropped in a field of enemies
Fear won't get another chance
Can you sense how provoked sly snake conspire?
Beware of the stab
Your back will be the target
This fierce retribution won't expire
Be prepared!
Can you save us now our world will end
Crave us now 'cause no one's daring
Liberate our promised land
The tables will be turning

Save us now there won't be peace


Waive your hope 'cause no one's caring
Sail away across the seas
The promise will be burning
The time has come to face the facts
We're on the edge of a relapse
Will you banish your illusion now?
When all hope is gone
Our world will fall to pieces
Visions are defeated and beaten
All our dreams will come to an end
Emancipate all of this reprobate land
18. Mirage Of Verity
[Japanese Additional Track]
Hate me as I am
For what I stand for and achieve
Hate me as I am
For all the lies that you believe
Break the spell
Defeat the silence
We can't lose ourselves in reticence
Can't feel my heart
Can't feel my soul
All I have done has been controlled
It's time to break free
Can't live my life
Like this no more
All I have done has been ignored
It's time to break free
Hate me as I am
For all the wounds that I can't heal
Bring me down to justice
For the truth that I've revealed
Break the spell
Defeat the silence
We can't lose ourselves in retinence
Can't feel my heart
Can't feel my soul
All I have done has been controlled
It's time to break free

Can't live my life


Like this no more
All I have done has been ignored
It's time to break free
We cannot free ourselves
As long as
The truth won't get a chance
To break through pseudo-omniniscence
Can't feel my heart no more
Can't feel my soul
All I have ever done was mind controlled
Break out, be free
Can't live my life this way
I can't, no more
All I have ever done has been ignored
Break out, be free
Can't feel my heart
Can't feel my soul
All I have done has been controlled
It's time to break free
Can't live my life
Like this no more
All I have done has been ignored
It's time to break free

1. Adyta "The Neverending Embrace - Prelude"


O nate vulnerate
Cito veni ad me
Te amplectar et vulnera tua lingam
Utinam te haberem, mi amor caelestis
2. Sensorium
Chance doesn't exist
But the path of life is not totally so predestined
And time and chronology show us how all should be
In the ways of existence
To find out why we are here
Being consciousness is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get
Every answer contains a new quest
A quest to non existence, a journey with no end
No one surveys the whole, focus on things so small
But life's objective is to make it meaningful
Only searching for this
That which doesn't exist
Although our ability to relativize remains unclear
I'm not afraid to die
I'm afraid to be alive without being aware of it
I'm so afraid to, I couldn't stand to
Waste all my energy on things
That do not matter anymore
Our future has already been written by us alone
But we don't grasp the meaning
Of our programmed course of life
Our future has already been wasted by us alone
And we just let it happen and do not worry at all
We only fear what comes
And smell death every day
Search for the answers that lie beyond
3. Cry For The Moon "The Embrace That Smothers - Part IV"
Follow your common sense
You cannot hide yourself behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the hole truth can we disclose
The soul of this sick bulwark forever and ever
Forever and ever
Indoctrinated minds so very often

Contain sick thoughts


And commit most of the evil they preach against
Don't try to convince me with messages from God
You accuse us of sins committed by yourselves
It's easy to condemn without looking in the mirror
Behind the scenes opens reality
Eternal silence cries loud for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale
Nor is the will to forget
Follow your common sense
You cannot hide yourself behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the hole truth can we disclose
The soul of this sick bulwark forever and ever
Forever and ever
Virginity has been stolen at very young ages
And the extinguisher loses it's immunity
Morbid abuse of power in the garden of Eden
Where the apple gets a youthful face
Eternal silence cries loud for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale
Nor is the will to forget
Follow your common sense
You cannot hide yourself behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this sick bulwark forever and ever
Forever and ever
You can't go on hiding yourself
Behind old fashioned fairytales
And keep washing your hands in innocence
4. Feint
The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished
Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
Made foundations quiver
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
And I shiver...
The leftover tallow just doesn't contain
All the right answers
Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom
An untouched snow turns red
Innocence dies

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

Than all your desire for life


There is no getting away from it now
Only true faith survives
People created religious inventions
To give their lives a glimmer of hope
And to ease their fear of dying
And people created religious ascensions
To subject the others and to enslave, just to further enrich themselves
It doesn't matter where we die
It doesn't matter that you cry
We'll take you with us
A disgrace on the beyond
O servator, sempiterne
Te grati coluimus, Odor atrox quo nons superfundis intolerabilis est
Deceive yourself by yielding
to soft words that cause no pain
Enrich yourself with different views
Learned without diasdaon
A disgrace on the beyond
That can never be undone
Who shall rise and unveil
The Facade of Reality?
Is there still room for new dents in old wrecks?
A disgrace on the beyond that can never be undone
Deceive yourself by yielding to soft words
Enrich yourself by making up your own mind
Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit
7. Run For A Fall
Do not use the pas as an alibi
For all of your deficiencies always standing by
Face your negligence, do not fool yourself
Shortcomings will soon appear
For weakness shows itself
Blind from your success and all of the excess
Deaf from the praise you had
Don't cry out of self pity in forcing your way through
For I will not be vulnerable to slander made by you
In a misty veil, misplaced
Where castles in the air will be no longer seen
As something out of reach

In time the dream will be erased


So many things will never be the way they seemed
And pride will have it's fall at last
Her eyes fell while the shame was written on her face
When she realised that her failures could never be undone again
You did not notice the manipulated hand
That overshadowed your thoughts all those years
That made you insecure
You did not notice the ancient shifting sand
That pulls you down into an everlasting sham
You will never be able to fight
Never be able to hide
Run for a fall, you'd better run
8. Seif Al Din "The Embrace That Smothers - Part VI"
The origin of a dogma
Placed in a new millennium
Vilified demons have been embraced
And given a warm welcome
The Seif al Din
Hasn't got the ghost of a chance to rust
Because it has always been kept in shape
In serving the one Almighty
The rudiments have always been misinterpreted during history,
despite the good intentions of many disciples who's faithful believe was strong and unswayed.
Most leaders interpret the old words to their
advantage in the attempt of gaining leadership and power
over those unfortunate enough to fall under their maliciousness and manipulative ways.
This misuse of trust will forever stain the pages of history,
echoing the exploitation and the frailty of decent
men carried away by nurtured rancour...
Perpetual distrust fed by a belief
In the malevolence of the others
When the beautiful unreality holds out its hand
It's better not to lose yourself in blind faith
La Illah Illallah, Mohammed rasul Allah
9. The Phantom Agony
[I. Impasse of Thoughts]
I can't see you, I can't hear you
Do you still exist?
I can't feel you, I can't touch you,

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

Et mendacem memorem esse oportet


Adoratio permanebit
Quotiens me eges, adero
I prefer to be unhappy with you,
rather than being depressed without you.
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
Nothing lasts forever but you, you do...
I prefer to be a lair just like you
To fulfill my deepest desires
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
But all that I desire is you
One thoughtless moment passes in slow motion
As I lie down, I realise that...
All I wish is to get rid of this Obsessive Devotion
Venia ad vitam aeternam
Non mibi, non tibi, sed nobis
Hit me as you can
Beat me as you wish
Liar
Fortuna mutual coniuncti
Per tota saecula futura
I have raised myself for you
But now I regret
Venia ad vitam aeternam
This is the end
3. Menace Of Vanity
Comprehensive expressions of your social weakness
Vented on your countless made up enemies
I cannot know how you feel
When you don't say anything
We don't care what you say
We'll never join the games you play
We won't bleed for all your sins
We never followed your way now so
We don't care anymore
How you'll perform your last encore
Your misplaced sense of superiority
The result of your unbearable form of Vanity

I cannot know what you see


When you don't show anything;
We don't care what you say
We'll never join the games you play
We won't bleed for all your sins
We never followed your way now so
We don't care anymore
How you'll perform your last encore
I cannot know how you feel
When you don't say anything
I cannot know what you see
When you don't show anything
We don't care what you say
We'll never join the games you play
We won't bleed for all your sins
We never followed your way now so
We don't care anymore
How you'll perform your last encore
4. Chasing The Dragon
Free my mind
Heal my scars
Erase the past
Dark days to forget
And memories to last
In my heart
Free me now
Make me forget
And forgive
There's no use
To go on and live
Show me a way
To the sun
Heal my scars
Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don't deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here
Let my eyes take in
The beauty that's here
That's left on this earth

My ears long to hear


A melody
Give me sight
Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don't deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here
Poison is slowly seeping through my veins
Stealing the only dignity in me
I pick them up and let them fall
To cause your pain and hit them all
[grunts]
One more life to live is what I want
I'll take the joy away from them
See to it, they will all be damned
One more chance to heal what I have harmed
The dragon is wreak havoc in my brain
Plays my emotion, a never ending game
Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don't deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here
One more life to live for me
I want the night just to colour the day
The morning to chase all my nightmares away
Don't you deny that we're all human beings
We all have our flaws that can make ourself obscene
Obscene...
Give me what I want
Give me what I need right now
That's what I want
That's what I need, get it!
Dolendo novit mortalis vitam
Tell me what I want

Tell me what I need right now


That's what I want
That's all I need, cure me
Dolendo discit mori mortalis
Losers
Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don't deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here
5. Never Enough
Can't you hear me screaming, once again?
Voices you can't hear
Because you are consumed and incontent
With everlasting greed
Don't you see me on my hands and knees?
Begging and bleeding
You're smiling as you bite the hand that feeds
But will you never see?
Always wanting what your eyes can't see
needing what your arms can't reach
Thinking you are in need
Always hearing what your ears can't hear
feeling what your hands can't touch
Thinking you're incomplete
(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
Sacrificed my life to be with you
Why did you leave me?
There's nothing more from me you can consume
Cause you are incomplete
Always wanting what your eyes can't see
needing what your arms can't reach
Thinking you are in need
Always hearing what your ears can't hear
feeling what your hands can't touch
Thinking you're incomplete

(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

Creating new spins on ancient creed to fit your views


Denying us
You created this world
Where honesty is not allowed
You created this world
Where ignorance is being taught
You created this world
Where I am all, you'll never be
You've been drilling these
Such falsely-based philosophies
...in me
The curtain has fallen
There's no one behind
Corrected one mistake
But I am still around
Our fight is over
My scars will leave a stain
You thought that it was all easy
But I will still remain
You created yourself
Based on nothing else but lies
You created yourself
Where all your aspiration died
You created yourself
Where I am all, you'll never be
You're deceiving me
Now I am forcing you to see
...this
The curtain has fallen
There's no one behind
Corrected one mistake
But I am still around
Our fight is over
My scars will leave a stain
You thought that it was all easy
But I will still remain
Take my hand, I'm sinking, I'm reaching out for you
Can't you see what you've done to all of us?
Torturing me has no use here anymore
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
Creating new spins on ancient creed to fit your views
Denying us
The curtain has fallen
There's no one behind
Corrected one mistake
But I am still around
Our fight is over
My scars will leave a stain
You thought that it was all easy
But I will still remain
Your time is over
I'm taking what's mine
You thought that you could keep me
Under your thumb and mind
Take my hand, I'm sinking, I'm reaching out for you
In my dying dream
8. Living A Lie - The Embrace That Smothers Part VIII
Don't believe what you see
Believe in me
In my reality
I am a man of God
God, can't you hear that I'm begging you?
Don't believe what you hear
Believe in me
And I will reappear
Salvation here at last
At last someone to answers all my prayers
Hope is a desert running dry
Deep inside
You refuse to face the facts
But pray for life

Find salvations in distress


We will wait
For the day you'll break out and
Re-awake
Lies
Don't believe what you see
Believe in me
And my reality
Eternity indeed
Indeed i'ts the end all and be all there's
Hope is a desert running dry
Deep inside
You refuse to face the facts
But pray for life
Find salvations in distress
We will wait
For the day you'll break out and
Re-awake
Lies
Domine lesu, demitte nobis debita nostra,
salva nos ab igne inferiori,
perduc in caelum omnes animas
praesertim eas, quae misericordiae tuae
maxime indigent.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
Amen
Living a lie
Human power
Will devour
Our senses
Bring us to forget
Human sources will not save
The power of faith
Heals us all
Hope is a desert running dry
Deep inside
You refuse to face the facts
But pray for life
Find salvations in distress
We will wait
For the day you'll break out and
Re-awake
And we wait for the day

To discover there's no way


I can't wait at this rate
It's too little and too late
To live this lie
Living a lie
9. Fools Of Damnation - The Embrace That Smothers Part IX
Go for it
Bow to the supremacy
Go for it at last
You do believe, so I can say
That you are owned by me
Go for it
Bow to the supremacy
Go for it at last
You do believe, so let us pray
For all those fools that be
Fool
Dance with me again
I am your destiny
Mark my words, don't you ever disagree
Fool
Kneel for me again
I am your agony
Walk my way, I will never set you free
Kneel for me unknowing fool
Bow to the supremacy
Kneel for me unworthy pig
Die for the divinity
Go for it
Bow to the supremacy
Go for it at last
You do believe, so you display
All that we want to see
Fool
Dance with me again
I am your destiny
Mark my words, don't you ever disagree
Fool
Kneel for me again
I am your agony

Walk my way, I will never set you free


Go for it
Just do it
Walk my way just to serve me
Go for it
Just do it
Kneel for me and obey me
A humble genuflection for the onrushing ascendancy
Not able to turn back anymore
Bow to me
Bow to the supremacy
Kneel for me
Die for the divinity
Bow to me
Go for it
Just do it
Die for the divinity
Believing is the cure
Religion is like opium
You'd better feed them all
Before they start eating you
Et fictum fit factum
Ne timeas obscurum
Id autem cognoscas
Ne timeas obscurum
Primum id cognosce
Deinde iudica
Post iudicandum demum age
[x2]
Fool
Dance with me again
I am your destiny
Mark my words, don't you ever disagree
Fool
Kneel for me again
I am your agony
Walk my way, I will never set you free
[x4]
Go for it

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

This is the final end


Thirteen moons
The path to walk
Thirteen moons
The path to talk
Restore all that belongs to us
Thirteen moons
The way to speak
Thirteen moons
Is what we seek
Restore all that was left behind
The Future is as certain
As life will come to an end
When time feels like a burden
We struggle with our certain death
[solo]
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
This is the final end
11. Safeguard To Paradise
Memories that fade away
Have not left their mark
But you live on, every single day
In many different ways
It's the truth between his cunning lies
That hands him his suspicious alibis
Persuading with your force will never be the way
To our destiny
Suddenly we've lost the force
To close our cursed doors
No one seems to realise
That wolves are in disguise

It's the truth between his cunning lies


That hands him his suspicious alibis
Persuading with your force will never be the way
To our destiny
Your engine was so strong
But the road was just too long
Hope is not the end
So never lose the faith
As long as we can say
They can never take away
Our freedom, the most precious thing we've ever had
The reward from the blood, we've ever shed
His quest for higher truth, life of eternal youth has just begun,
in spite of being on the run
Many virgins wait for him to come
Persuading with your force will never be the way
To our destiny
Our destiny
12. Sancta Terra
A place which I have searched a thousand times
To finally free myself
Forever wasn't ever long enough
I will refrain
I feel a passion washing over me
To shed the skin I'm in
This evolution will empower me
Now truth begins
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
Take one step closer to the borderline
Where night and day unite
This mortal coil I've gone and left behind
On holy soil
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
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

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 deaf enough to live the life we live right now
Reach out, touch infinity
Life is just a memory
Time is not the entity
Like it used to be
The Divine Conspiracy
Opens up the reality
Time is not the entity
Like it claims to be
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 insensitive to live the life and so ignore it all
Who possesses your time also possesses your mind
Who possesses your time
-Mislead us all, we are not in control
Also possesses your mind
-There is no trace that will lead to this place
Reach out, touch infinity
Life is just a memory
Time is not the entity
Like it used to be
The Divine Conspiracy
Opens up the reality
Time is not the entity
Like it claims to be
Desperately we all
Clutch at the last straw
We stumble and fall
Countdown to die
To heal it all

We will never reach


Our capacities, no more
We cannot expand
Our boundaries
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 insensitive to breathe so we can take it all for granted
Reach out, touch infinity
Life is just a memory
Time is not the entity
Like it used to be
The Divine Conspiracy
Opens up the reality
Time is not the entity
Like it claims to be
14. Higher High
[bonus track]
Fireflies are flying higher
They draw their wings up in the sky
Something I cannot read now
For my vision is blurred
We are all ruled by our fears below
Higher high
We are stuck and can't get out again
There's more than we deny
And there's more than meets the eye
Fortune, fairytales; we've all been told
Our pattern, never built, never begins (?)
I can tell you there can't always be
A happy end to every tale
We are all ruled by our fears below
Higher high
We are stuck and can't get out again
There's more than we deny
And there's more than meets the eye

We are all breathing the same air


That we share
We all just have to live
We are all equal
No matter black or white
We are all ruled by our fears below
Higher high
We are stuck and can't get out again
There's more than we deny
And there's more than meets the eye
15. Replica
[Bonus Track]
[Originally By Fear Factory]
There is no love!
No love!
I am a duplication
Innocently
I was conceived
So violently
There was no love
There was no love for me
There was only hatred
I am rape
I am hate
I am rape
I am hate
Every day I feel anonymous hate
Forever in the shadow of disgrace
I am rape
I am hate
I am rape
I am hate
I am so filled with pain
A bruised and darknened soul
Spare me from the
Life that's full of misery
I don't want to live that
Way!
I don't want to live that
Way!
There is no love!

Every day I feel anonymous hate


Forever in the shadow of disgrace
I am rape
I am hate
I am rape
I am hate
I am so filled with pain
A bruised and darknened soul
Spare me from the
Life that's full of misery
I am so filled with pain
A bruised and darknened soul
Spare me from the
Life that's full of misery
I don't want to live that
Way!
[X3]
I am so filled with pain
A bruised and darknened soul
Spare me from the
Life that's full of misery
Spare me from the
Life that's full of pain
Spare me from the
Life that's full of pain
I don't want to live that
Way!

Dominus Sum Rerum Gestarum Mearum
Heresque Sum Rerum Omnium A Me Gestarum
Ortus Ex

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

Your senseless demanding


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
This is the way
No discussion
In my life
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
You're in denial
Can we trust all the facts and believe that the fancied wise are just and needed?
Do we want to rely on the views of the righteous ones who are succeeding?
If you look all around and you see all the
Things that are not meant to be
Then you know it's time to let them go
Your fury can no longer stand
This hauteur will come to an end
Looking for leftover friends is in vain
You'll be alone again
No more refusal
Face it, slow down
It is time for renewal
And expect no miracles
Expect no miracles when you're
In an endless fall
No regrets if you're leaving
You're a true deceiver
Accept the here and now
Or regret will end up...
Mask of justice, shield of menacing strength
Will not bend, only break
Can't we respect, can't we neglect
No respecting so neglecting
Those who are suffering in need of help?
Those who suffer, needing our help
You are the one I wouldn't like to become
You are not one I would like to become
Not at all in the end

Hear our calling


Carry me slowly
In the depths of your life
Fear the thunder
Free me from barren fields
And grey thunder lies
Semblance Falling
Under that grand faade
The truth loves to hide
Can we trust all the facts
And believe that the fancied wise
Are just and needed?
Do we want to rely on the views
Of the righteous ones who are succeeding?
If you look all around and you see
All the things that are not meant to be
Then you know it's time to let them go
Can we trust all the facts
And believe that the fancied wise
Are just and needed?
Do we want to rely on the views
Of the righteous ones who are succeeding?
If you look all around and you see
All the things that are not meant to be
Then you know it's time to let them go
To let them go
Nos docti
Sed plus Scimus
Non spernentes
Quod dicunt alii
3. Storm The Sorrow
[Music by Coen Janssen, Simone Simons]
[Lyrics by Simone Simons]
Along the way I find myself
To be confined within me
No place for any other's mind to interfere,
To grasp the meaning of it all
To overcome my limits
And dance away from any void and empty tones,
Just tell me why
Just tell me how
I can survive this time
Believe yourself and look away
From all that's right within you

Leave all your worries at the door and drift away,


Ive tried to peer into the core
But could not storm the sorrow
My hollow heart has bled me dry, left me to stray
Another time without a trace,
Condemn me now
Send me to hell
For I'm already failing
Intertwine the lines
That swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in
Demonize the need we reel in, no
In my memories I'll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unending
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
No time should ever go to waste
Its not that complicated
Youre free to live your life at ease
No more restraints
No heed for shadows on your way
That try to steal your laughter
Your light will drive them all away
Be confident
Will I refrain?
Can I repent?
Will you be there?
Erase the page
For Im alone and ailing
Intertwine the lines
That swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in
Demonize the need we reel in, no
In my memories I'll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unending
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
So, this is my life
And it can't break me down
Go, I will decide
Who can come in and heal my disease
Burn it in flames
Kill it and maim
Why can't you see that you need to be freed?
Intertwine the lines beneath the dark
Every bit of pain we're feeling
Every other solemn life, no

In the memories you will find somehow


There used to be a dream unending
No more need to be alone
Intertwine the lines
That swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in
Demonize the need we reel in, no
In my memories I'll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unending
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
Someone had betrayed
4. Delirium
[Music by Coen Janssen, Isaac Delahaye, Simone Simons]
[Lyrics by Simone Simons]
Black was the night when I did surrender
I did give in to my weakening sight
Now that I'm empty my dreams once were many
Soul's bitter cry to unleash the divine
When you think there's no way out
And all you see collides
Hope will in the end chase all your fears away
Fighting the source was not recommended
Trails of a wish were the hope to survive
Skins full ablazing release crystal gazing
All of it led to a deeper demise
When you think there's no way out
And no one comprehends
Hope will show your smile again
What I left behind
Another night
Of weary dreams, unravelling
What's been left behind
Another time
Where days of late are far away
Far away
Losing my reasons,
No lies to believe in
Left the obscure to
The means of escape
Core has been shaken,
There is no more pain to break me
Time has commenced and I long to awake

When you think there's no way out


Leave everything behind
You can live your life anew
What I left behind
Another night
Of weary dreams, unravelling
What's been left behind
Another time
Where days of late are far away
Far away
Dark days behind me
Won't ever break me now
All that I left behind
Another night
Of weary dreams, unravelling
What's been left behind
Another time
Where days of late are far away
Far away
Just another night
In another time
5. Internal Warfare
[Music by Mark Jansen, Isaac Delahaye, Coen Janssen]
[Lyrics by Simone Simons]
Would anybody dare to know the answer?
Would anybody dare to face the truth?
We bide the time awaiting our answers
To our kind
We're all in this apocalypse together
The horror we so feared can't be undone
We all remove allegiance to disaster
Tragic crime
Life we used to know
Ends where silence comes to us forever
Night will soon bestow
Justice on a day that never ends
The piercing eyes of bullets' shine run faster
Than peace and understanding can conceive
To use and to deceive to teach a lesson
Cross the line

Life we used to know


Ends where silence comes to us forever
Night will soon bestow
Justice on a day that never ends
I'm a true believer
A soldier with a gun
I shall swipe the earth clean
Won't take long
Te Deplangemus - Haud Resistentes - A Te Vexati - Manebimus
I must trust my instinct
And act on his behalf
My ship is full with water
But won't go down
Life we used to know
Ends where silence comes to us forever
Night will soon bestow
Justice on a day that never ends
Life we used to know
Ends where silence comes to us forever
Night will soon bestow
Justice on a day that never ends
Never ends
6. Requiem For The Indifferent
[Music by Mark Jansen, Isaac Delahaye]
[Lyrics by Mark Jansen]
When silence betrays
We've tried to find a reason
To go on and cross the line
Tell me
How can we justify the act
We've tried to look around and
Search for ways to shift the blame
The escape
From moral sense we drift away
When we can't have it all
We want it all
With money segregating
The centers are degrading
The devastation
We feared we'd befall
But soon we'll realize that
We can get reunited
This could apply to us all, after all

We'll never find our peace of mind


If we don't leave the past behind
Make up your mind
When silence betrays
We spilled the tears for wretches
And for human sacrifice
Look at them
We've pushed them through the tiny holes
Yet still we know we're all responsible
With money segregating
The centers are degrading
The devastation
We feared we'd befall
But soon we'll realize that
We can get reunited
This could apply to us all, after all
We'll never find our peace of mind
If we won't leave the past behind
Make up your mind
Counting down
The road to perdition
Driving fast and without vision
Parva notes circum te
Incorrupta nitidaque
Vide, gusta, senti, bibe
Formam ex eis captes
We're failing we're ailing
Collapse is now drawing nearer
Derailing, the end is nigh
Unravelled, dishevelled
The answer's never been clearer
Unlevelled we're standing by
When we finally find the reason to exist
We will be able to appreciate the fundamental gifts
Drown, bury, erase
All that is dividing us
Down, parry, negate
All that's keeping us from growth
Feel the energy enclosed within us
Try to keep on searching for the meaning of our lives
Find the only values that can help us in our strife
Keep on searching and be ready when the tides are high

Try to find the philosopher deep within you


Trigger and motivate all that matters along your way
Seek and find the answers
With money segregating
The centers are degrading
The devastation
We feared we'd befall
But soon we'll realize that
We can get reunited
This could apply to us all, after all
We'll never find our peace of mind
If we won't leave the past behind
Wake up your troubled mind
7. Anima
[Instrumental]
[Music by Mark Jansen]
8. Guilty Demeanor
[Music & lyrics by Mark Jansen]
Whenever stories are prescribed
That we could never obelise
Then how could anyone supply a doubt?
I take you at your word
But the tale could have a flaw
And if you find yourself in awe
Then you'll only hunger for the truth
Veritas numquam vincitur ipsa
Ne quae dicuntur imprudenter credas
When I'm crucified, taunted and denied
I'll stand strong, with my back against the wall
At times it seems so very hard
All that we learned we must discard
That everyone you'd ever trust
Has lied
Veritas numquam vincitur ipsa
Ne quae dicuntur imprudenter credas
When I'm crucified, taunted and denied
I'll stand strong, with my back against the wall

When I'm crucified, haunted and defied


I belong to the few that died for all
You cannot question or defy
Or you'll find out the hard way why
You'd better run before you walk alone
When I'm crucified, taunted and denied
I'll stand strong, with my back against the wall
When I'm crucified, haunted and defied
I belong to the few that died for all
Veritas numquam vincitur ipsa
Ne quae dicuntur imprudenter credas
Sed tua teneas
9. Deep Water Horizon
[Music by Mark Jansen, Isaac Delahaye, Coen Janssen]
[Lyrics by Simone Simons]
We have to wait
For a dying day
Full of black decay
We'll find a way
To become aware
Breathing tainted air
We change the lanes
In every second of our lives
Lost in our minds
We'll taste the water's brine
All for the silver shine
Can't stay the same
Should end this bloody game
Bare in the venom rain
To fuel the greed to feed the hungered has it's price
There's the feeling once again
The day where black and white began
Await the ending of our everlasting violence
We've all been healing from the pain
From all the misery and constraint
We're inhaling fumes again
So don't deny it
Lies will unwind
The verity you'll find
Upon the moor resigned
Primary gain
Comes with a thousand slain
All for the greater vain

Without the horror causing hazard, we'll survive


There's the feeling once again
The day where black and white began
Await the ending of our everlasting violence
We've all been healing from the pain
From all the misery and constraint
We're inhaling fumes again
So don't deny it
Whatever lies ahead
We will face tomorrow
When every all delusions end
All of this was foreseen
Give in
Have to break the chain of grief
You
Born to be free
You decide
All are free
Time to change
Nothing, nothing or all
The clock is racing on
The pace is very strong
Our borrowed time is gone
The dawn of sharing all our powers has arrived
There's the feeling once again
The day where black and white began
Await the ending of our everlasting violence
We've all been healing from the pain
From all the misery and constraint
We're inhaling fumes again
So don't deny it
We're all inhaling fumes again
And there the black and white will end
10. Stay The Course
[Music by Mark Jansen, Isaac Delahaye, Simone Simons]
[Lyrics by Mark Jansen]
Stay the course
Unregarded what the others think
Follow through your goals
Stay the course
Be impassive what all the others want
Go your own way
Stand focused, stay strong

Stay the course


And regardless what the critics say
Seek your golden road
Stay the course
Be hard and fast
Reach out, achieve your goals
Chase your own dreams
Stay faithful, prolong
Veils that cover the sacred treasures
That no one dares imbibe
Those proclaiming different views
Were long ago proscribed
I should warn you, it's deadly to abide
Instead I taught you to bow and toe the line
Fear is what you breathe
Disagree
Guidance what you need
For all the chances you will never see
Trust in me
Notice the anomalies
Erase them from your memory
Fight dismay
Deny the disarray
Just keep them far away from you and fight
With all your might
Stay the course
Show no remorse
Terminate all that deters
Veils that cover the sacred treasures
That no one dares imbibe
Those proclaiming different views
Were long ago proscribed
I should warn you, it's deadly to abide
Instead I taught you to bow and toe the line
I should warn you to never compromise
Instead I want you believing the disguise
11. Deter The Tyrant
[Music by Isaac Delahaye, Mark Jansen]
[Lyrics by Mark Jansen]
Shield the monocrat and
Better fulfill his needs and wield his sordid means

Thank you for all torture and maul


Which only keep it running
We condemn disruption
We should fight for liberation now
Liberate us now
Breed the egoist and
Give him then all he needs and feed his vicious greed
Thank you, we call for chaos
And leave us all alone, resigned
We condemn corruption
We should fight for abdication now
Abdicate us now
When an action bids retraction to begin
You will feel what it's like to suffer for your sins
We will commence
Yield the ruffian then
Give him the gall that he needs and field his children now
For they'll recall, once and for all
This farce is everlasting
We condemn suppression
We should fight this aberration now
Fight suppresion now
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
The lies you've spread
For blood you've shed
You'll have to justify
Enslaved to reign
Heartless, insane
You'll have to pay the price
Words fail now
The truth is hard to comprehend
Vile secrets were kept in the dark
Avoiding social unrest
Words fail now
The truth is hard to comprehend
Wild efforts to gag dissidents
Will ever fail in the end

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

For all the stones thrown in my face


Hold on, move on
See me!
Now hide your face while
You carry on till the grief comes
Save your soul from the downfall
Feels like living in a dream from which I cannot wake
I dont wanna hide
They are tearing me apart
You cannot pray for laughter
You cannot wake
Degenerate the love and hate
We should always ever keep in mind
Our tragedys not far behind
Kneeling in disaster
Through all the doubt I cant allay
Hold on, move on
Now
As it was meant to be
Sufferings a travesty
Obliterate our past mistakes
We should never lose sight or we'll find
A travesty renewed in time
Chasing ever faster
Feels like living in a dream from which I cannot wake
I dont wanna hide
They are tearing me apart
You cannot pray for laughter
I cannot decide
I cannot wake
I cannot pray
Feels like living in a dream
From which I cannot wake
Voices leading me astray
Cannot pray

13. Serenade Of Self-Destruction

[Music by Mark Jansen, Isaac Delahaye, Coen Janssen]


[Lyrics by Simone Simons]
Never could we see
What lies deeper
Seeming that our view
Can't be changed

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

I'd rather die


Than breathe in my shame
They'll know my name
All hell in flames
For our faith
We proudly die
For it we would die
For our sovereign
All hell will arise
Hell will surely rise
We'll serve our cause
In earning reward
Earning our reward
Collision of skies
The ocean wept dry
Every ocean dry
Another's desperation flying through the emptiness
As my degradation throws me out of line
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
Take the final flight

14. Nostalgia

[European Bonus Track]


Dying slowly, all alone
Hope is gone, the seeds were sown
Another day without a touch
Another dawn with only dusk
But sometimes it rewinds me
To the bliss of languid dreams
To my precious memories
To the mysteries of all I'd never seen
Dying slowly day by day
And every colour fades to gray
I walk the walls of hell's abyss
With every trail, I will persist

But sometimes it rewinds me


To the bliss of languid dreams
To my precious memories
To the mysteries of all I'd never seen
Why can't you hear me?
Release me
I'm forgotten and buried
And sometimes it rewinds me to
The innocence that pulls me through
But sometimes it rewinds me
To the bliss of languid dreams
To my precious memories
To the mysteries of all I'd never seen
And sometimes it rewinds me
To the place where the fire's burning
And sometimes I can daydream
That I'm free
But it's just a reverie

15. Twin Flames (Soundtrack Version)

[North American Bonus Track]


You're eternal my love.
For me you're all there ever was.
Every limit overcome.
As we are tangled we are one.
Words are left unsaid burning in my head.
Now I only wish I could hold you again.
Being there with you I feel at ease.
Being there with you is all I ever need,
My one belief,
We share a common energy.
Ive flown a far beyond the sea,
To find the other side of me.
Ive waited long and patiently,
To find the one to balance me.
To live without dubiety
This is my covenant to thee
Life feels empty, my love,
It pains me so to give you away.
Sentence untold never to unfold.
Now I only wish I could hold you again.
Being there with you I am whole again.

Being there with you is all I ever need,


My one belief,
We share a common energy.
Ive flown a far beyond the sea,
To find the other side of me.
Ive waited long and patiently,
To live without dubiety
This is my covenant to thee
My belief.
My one belief.
Youre all I need, my one belief.
The winds of time will carry me.
To live without dubiety
Dont let this ever end
[Chorus:]
We flown a far beyond the sea,
To find each other finally.
Weve waited long and patiently
To build a bridge between dualities
