Bo from the light - jou ey into the moment, delivered from thought and sky He will be one, one with the land - Lord of wind and the sea and the sands The one - The bringer of life

Alone I walk Among the twisting shadows Tempted by the ancient magic The power of five My desire to mirror my own image And I will offer you no soul Offer you no soul
Tonight Darkness will shadow the light Symmetry divine There's no force greater Dividing the fathers of time
Feel my hate I'm banished to this wasteland My serpents plot The overthrow of your temples and shrines In the night My army's rage and fury Burning my shadow into the land Vengeance by my hand
Tonight Darkness will shadow the light Symmetry divine There's no force greater Dividing the fathers of time
Tonight Darkness will shadow the light Paradise denied The balance of ages Forever lost in time
Was I sure of my fateful wish to evoke the night from the day? Thousands now join as one, be afraid What have I done? Clouds are dimming the sun with his wrath of disease and decay This masque of vengeance leads my death parade
What have I done? My shadow burning My shadow burns across the land
Tonight Darkness will shadow the light Symmetry divine There's no force greater Dividing the fathers of time
Tonight Darkness will shadow the light Paradise denied The balance of ages Forever lost in time
'...and there was a need for balance, The coming of Ma'at...'
All we know, now has come undone Balance lost 'tween the moon and sun Hear our prayer, keeper of the sky divine Upon us all, let your wisdom shine
Losing faith as the madness prevails In us all we are searching for a reason A need to calm the storm In our sails let your winds be strong
Breathe the air around you The oceans fill your veins and winds embrace your heart Feel the change within you The Sun and Moon align The Grand Design awaits a new start
From the skies, looking down on you Through the clouds tainted crystal blue Such advancement, yet lacking the control Unaware of your earthly role
Praise this child and the words of her rhyme A sacred gift, magic of the five will bring you tranquillity A new order of equality
Five senses come alive Five reasons thrive Five nations unite Unite as one
Night and day will find a way To keep the balance true Let the sky and stars be your guide The destination is up to you
Raise our heads up to the skies Feel the essence of time Changing ways like the shifting tides In the waves hear the rhyme
'..unfortunately, not all were interested in the Ways of Justice, and those of the Night gathered to plot the elimination of the great Law of One and the death of Ma'at. The Atlantens harnessed the energy of the great Crystals to create a weapon of immense power, unaware that the power they possessed would ultimately lead to their downfall...'
Endless sands of Atlantis - etched in gold, a city lost in time and from the sea - A Child speaks of things unseen, before the King - a teller of the Rhyme
Five align - hidden in the word a message locked in time find the Key - it draws the final line between what is and what should never be
Gaze in these eyes my child and see - here by my side, your destined to be Fears in the night flee with the Sun - if we are One Kingdom of Gold I lay at your feet - Ruler of Time and Space you will be Rivers of Truth forever will run - if we are One
From the ruins of Atlantis, the Lord of Night rises from the sands He seeks the one - his serpent's tail and twisted tongue - a bringer of War - Destroyer of the Land
Five align - hidden in the word a message locked in time find the Key - it draws the final line between what is and what should never be
Rise my minions - from within the deep abyss my disciples - thunder this necropolis
Gaze in these eyes my child and see - here by my side, your destined to be Fears in the night chasing the Sun - now we are One Kingdom of Gold now lay at my feet - Ruler of Time and Space I will be Rivers of lies forever will run - now we are One
Now at my feet, the dying voice of Balance - nevermore shall there be a way to fly, a way to fly on wings of Divinity, as words of wisdom fade away
The Law of One will fade and die The rising Moon will crush the Sky
So falls the Night - the darkest hour Seek and find all the secrets left for you Absence of Light - unbalanced power Only then will you know
The hidden words - a piece of the puzzle - Time will tell what will be Between the lines, the past and future you will find - the ones and zeros are the key to unlock what's sealed
The Law of One will fade and die The rising Moon will crush the Sky
So falls the Night - the darkest hour Justice lost - a travesty we must undo Absence of Light - unbalanced power Only then will you know
Awaken all from Set - Amentet - Worship all that I represent
So falls the Night - the darkest hour Destruction, death and war are in the air Absence of Light - unbalanced power ruling all that we know
So falls the Night - the darkest hour Unbound - what once was lost - now is found Absence of Light - unbalanced power Only then will we know
'...curse the fools who look for answers in a rhyme ...I am the future, I am Montu Sekhmet'
A voice from the past echoes the fate - A tale of all things yet to come As it once was, so it shall be again Modern day Children of the Sun Seek the hidden rhyme and there you'll find A new world order Feel the mystery - so much to see through the Eyes of hope The Thoughts of Ma'at, forever secured - Locked in the Ages Goddess of Truth speaks eternally From the depths of the pages Seek the hidden words - as time unfolds You'll find the answers Feel the mystery - look to the Sea, under Skies of Hope What have we done? Can we right all the Wrongs - the evils and fears, for thousands of Years, that forever drain our vitality? Can this go on without dyer consequence? Our tragic ways, the end of days that shadow The dawn of eternity... He's taken form in human - likeness And manifests himself in all our darkest Dreams Preying upon centuries of weakness Feasting on despair and our own selfish Greed Bow down to me - (we will never understand) Then take my hand and you will See - (we'll see...) You will see paradise - (a paradise?) - of Pain and death Awaiting for you all - (we'll decide the future) Lost evermore the essence of truth, although She tried in vein to bring us peace, it will Ever rest in our hands We've cried a thousand tears for all we had, And all the things we could have been, We must find our way again Fools who looks for answers in a rhyme, Seeking out a lie, an illusion I am the future, the ageless mutation Five beyond the skies align, Zeus to Ra - the Final sign My opposition's drawing near, feeding on his Fear - tasting anguish I have the power - the ageless invasion Five beyond the skies align, Zeus to Ra - the Final sign From the Messenger on Wings, Peace and War - a line of Kings... Again the Titans clash on the edge of this Earthen plane Now from the depths they speak - echoing From the wave - From the Waves... ""Choose the way, five paths There for you to find Turn the page, the question lies Between the lines can We change?""
