It's all perpetual dreams,
this hidden life ain't what it seems Walking dead we are Victims of misfortune and lies, and tortured bringers of demise Circling above like vultures They reap the harvest that we sew and take, like trusting fools Promising charade All days now disappear from weeks to months, from months to years Forever bound, shackled to the wall The night falls, I've seen 1000 moons rising in the sky The night calls, I feel the midnight as it slowly cloaks my eyes Touched by the kiss of the sunrise Live with shadows and fears -behind smoke and mirrors Try to turn back the years -living inside smoke and mirrors Sacred and serpentine, a hypnotizing twisted theme Weaves our souls to roar Like candles in the wind, our echoed cries above the din Fade into this faceless sculpture In the wheel of chance and fate, spinning as we watch and wait A mystery to us all On the edge of sanity, we tread the seas of destiny Forever bound, silent voices call The night falls, I've seen 1000 moons rising in the sky The night calls, I feel the midnight as it slowly cloaks my eyes Touched by the kiss of the sunrise Live with shadows and fears -behind smoke and mirrors Try to turn back the years -living inside smoke and mirrors Live with shadows and fears -behind smoke and mirrors Try to turn back the years -living inside smoke and mirrors Ohh.....the night calls |

Bow down in the platinum maze
Twilight cathedrals spread the system plague Forging sacred thrones in the void unseen Merciless judgement in the church of the machine I'm the master, looking down from the edge of space and time Flesh and steel intertwined I am the future, sacrifice your soul and succumb to me Nailed to your faith, you'll believe Scream-and no one hears my pleas Faceless masses falling to their knees Bow down in the platinum maze Twilight cathedrals spread the system plague Forging sacred thrones in the void unseen Merciless judgement in the church of the machine Pyramids in the sky, playing out their cosmic games Rulers of us all, forever cursed we live in pain Cursed-we live in pain... The creator, 'Neath the darkened sun, my empires rise Artificially devised The destroyer, fierce intentions flow from a virtual rage Forever lost and enslaved Total mesh of soul and steel Life-force force under my command Twisted baptism of fire Between machine and man Scream-and no one hears my pleas Faceless masses falling to their knees Bow down in the platinum maze Twilight cathedrals spread the system plague Forging sacred thrones in the void unseen Merciless judgement in the church of the machine Bow down in the platinum maze Twilight cathedrals spread the system plague Forging sacred thrones in the void unseen Merciless judgement in the church of the machine |

Placid skies, through crystal gazing eyes
Slaves to our desire, in a ring of smoke and fire The dungeons call, two faces on the wall Candles light the way, for a moonlight serenade Through the nights and days, we will find a way A way to carry on what we believe An empty door, ashes on the floor Hypnotic array of lights, dragons calling throughout the night Omen in black, chained down to the rack The end never in sight, soaring through an endless plight Through the nights and days, we will find a way Silence fills the shrine, giving us the sign Forever lost, forever in the dragon's den Born with second sight, essence burning bright Forever lost, forever in the dragon's den Silence fills the shrine, giving us the sign Forever lost, forever in the dragon's den Born with second sight, essence burning bright Forever lost, forever in the dragon's den |

Look to the other side, reach the undefined
Curious to what she doesn't know Step through the empty air, reveal what wasn't there A fantasy-her looking glass world Is it as it seems? Or just a dream within a dream (dream within, dream within a dream) Like she's been here before, locked behind the door Held within the grasp of mystic hands Everything's so strange, the same but rearranged Through a bird's eye view-Can it all be true? The final answer she seeks, with the three to be crowned Queen Essence of rule divides the land-YEAH! Dark shape, above in the sky, captures her prismatic eye Again she walks in wonder, With no, with no tearful good-byes Part II Alice...Alice...Run Alice...Run And there she stood, in misery Searching for the final ring within A dream, (dream within a dream) Dream within a dream "I'm not afraid..." Part III Scepter in hand-all the numbers so deceiving The small dreaming child who wears the crown Watches the pieces falling down Like knights in the game-her next move is so unsure 'Waken the Queen of Nevermore Hidden behind the royal doors White on her right, Red on her left Talking in riddles, on ears fallen deaf "Stop with all the lies", all the questions so confusing Answer the riddles they deny, losing hope, the child cries Dream on... Do you believe...all the things that you're seeing are true? The start's where the end's leading you Do you believe...all's as twisted as one would perceive? Seek the answers...and soon you'll believe The royal child, in a rage of desperate fury Shattering all that lies before, screaming dolls fall to the floor Now remove the masque, that's obscuring this dimension Illusions so clear to me now, her invention is unwound Escape the dream- like an unwritten book There at my feet-lies the knight, the queen and the rook Dream on... Do you believe...all the things that you're seeing are true? The start's where the end's leading you Do you believe...all's as twisted as one would perceive? Seek the answers...and soon you'll believe Dream on... Do you believe...all the things that you're seeing are true? The start's where the end's leading you Do you believe...all's as twisted as one would perceive? Seek the answers...and soon you'll believe |

Silver cross in ancient halls,
deep inside the castle walls Bound to sleep, forever locked in chains Evil carved into the stone, ancient words they've never known A serpent's silent shroud still remains Come with me and I'll make all your wishes come true Lifting the chains of oppression from you Wiping away the lines carved in your face Take the Relic from this place... Carry on, into the horizon, wielding courage, staff in hand Journey on, through shadows and dreams, and what lies beyond the guardian's keep Prey and siege in voiceless woe, who's dust was scattered long ago Awaken from this dark and endless sleep Man's desires-now mortal wounds, believing tales and shallow truths Hardened hearts now tremble in the keep Trust in me and I'll lay all your nightmares to waste Take the Relic from this place Carry on, into the horizon, wielding courage, staff in hand Journey on, through shadows and dreams, and what lies beyond the guardian's keep |

Child of the oceans I am, walking on the waves
Stirring the pools, I silence and calm the tides to a glaze Touched by a vision of love, her beauty recognized Elusive to me, progressions are now violence in disguise On a quest for light, and braving the seas Chasing the morning star, wait for me... Now I'm blinded, this vision I cannot see I cannot see my future destiny Ohh...the hunter looks at you with eyes to kill Praying for your life-the mighty rage against the still For whom the God's destroy, they first make mad Receiving the sun, and falling like hourglass sand Child of the sea I am, in starlight I reside Glow silver and white, eternal and bright in the sky On a quest for light, and braving the seas Chasing the morning star, wait for me... Now I'm blinded, this vision I cannot see I cannot see my future destiny Ohh...the hunter looks at you with eyes to kill Praying for your life-the mighty rage against the still Ohh...the hunter looks at you with eyes to kill Praying for your life-the mighty rage against the still Ohh...the hunter Ohh...the hunter Ohh...the hunter I'm the hunter |

Garden of ice, ivory trees dimly glow
Maiden in white, led by lanterns of stone Captured-by the light of moon Diamonds and Jade-dressed in ashen blue From the North, a mistress dressed in silvery blaze The feel of her kiss steals my breath away In the night, shadows dance through lucid doors With a pale and frigid gaze Lady of the snow, calling me Her silhouette awaits in the cold A kiss of stone, tempting me Radiant lady in white, Maiden of the Snow A winter's stare through veils that still my sight In the night...she calls Bound by this passion, I'm begging you please let me go There is no escaping the feeling, I can't fight anymore My desire echoes from a tale of ancient lore As before, mystery fills my eyes Beauty and bliss, I feel the hands that hold me now I surrender myself to the night Lady of the snow, calling me Her silhouette awaits in the cold A kiss of stone, tempting me Radiant lady in white, Maiden of the Snow A winter's stare through veils that still my sight In the night...she calls Lady of the snow, holding me Her silhouette awaits in the cold I can't fight anymore |

In the cold misty morning
Gleaming rays awake the dawn Here I stand - a stranger in this land Does your conscience betray you? Falling from grace - feel the Sun on my face Does desire still hold true? Mystified by her beauty - does the hunter pity his prey? Under starless skies all Love must die, and fade away Take my hand - Divine or Damned - Make a stand Seize the day Yours or mine - Damned or Divine Draw the line - come what may... Looking down from Ethereal Skies Silent crystalline tears I cry For all must say their last goodbye - to Paradise My yearning is silenced by angelic skin of white? Love conquers all, though heavens fall this fateful night Yours or mine - Damned or Divine Draw the line - serpentine... Love is a tragedy All that I have, all that I'll ever need is right here inside Let the winds of freedom be my guide Looking down from Ethereal Skies Silent crystalline tears I cry For all must say their last goodbye - to Paradise Looking down from Ethereal Skies Silent crystalline tears I cry For all must say their last goodbye - to Paradise Say goodbye, goodbye ...so I've cheated and I've lied Been the victim of foolish pride And I've begged and I've crawled And I've battled it and bled for it all So I'll savor the downfall.... of Paradise Looking down from Ethereal Skies Silent crystalline tears I cry For all must say their last goodbye - to Paradise Looking down from Ethereal Skies Silent crystalline tears I cry For all must say their last goodbye - to Paradise Looking down from Ethereal Skies Silent crystalline tears I cry For all must say their last goodbye - to Paradise |

While you lie there in submission Forbidden desire Alone in the moonlight hearts of fire Burn away our inhibitions When the stars lose their fire And night steals the morning away Forever and a day I will stay, I will stay here with you my love Sacrifice a heart beat away from paradise All my reasons given way to temptation Fear and shame Looking for someone else to blame We're devoured by these foolish accusations With every fleeting breath I take Maybe our love was a mistake Eternal life I traded for one moment beside you When the stars lose their fire And night steals the morning away Forever and a day I will stay, I will stay here with you my love When the stars lose their fire And night steals the morning away Forever and a day When the stars lose their fire And night takes the morning away Forever and a day I will stay, I will stay here with you my love |

On the edge of paradise
Tears of woe fall, cold as ice Hear my cry Renounce, have you, thy name Eternal is my pain Eternal is the pain that leads me to the thrones of temptation Eternal is the pain that leads me to the thrones of temptation ... [Part II - In the Room of Thrones] [Instrumental] [Part III - A Gathering of Angels] [Lyrics: Michael Romeo] There was a time ... When nine choirs sang the endless melody of light Music of the spheres Threre was a place ... Where mortals embraced thunder and majesty Their fate lay in our hands Feel my wings slowly fading - forever lost in time - I cry [Part IV - The Wrath Divine] [Lyrics: Michael Romeo, Thomas Miller] The burning conflict I'm feeling It summons me to descend into the other side And just beyond the stars blazing A beam light from a red, velvet moon illuminates me I will devise, from perfect skies A dark and vengeful day Faith and mercy gone astray With strength of infinite measure The mighty sword divides order from chaos in the kingdom below And from the mansions of glory, This empty soul cries out one final plea ... The end has begun Our worlds collide, now in disguise, You'll feel the Wrath Divine Tears of woe fall from the sky ... [Part V - The Prophet's Cry] [Lyrics: Michael Romeo] The prophet cries Vast battalions rage on in the sky Rising rom the north - the bringer of war Eve of destruction Summon all who have 'power over fire' Impending doom from shore to shore Standing on the edge of paradise I sacrifice my truth and loyalty Seven deadly sins consume you all, a dance with death I taste the victory (Eternal is the pain that leads me to temptation) Rising from the north - the warrior prince Judgement without compassion eyes of fear Like the river styx, the gates of hell - "Abandon hope all ye who enter here" The prophets cry As armies fall from the edge of the sky The Prince of truth, now the bringer of war The day of wrath Banish all kings from the face of the land Dominion for strength is my name [Part VI - Bringer of the Apocalypse] [Instrumental] Eve of Sacrifice/Armies in the Sky/Dies trae [Part VII - Paradise Regained] [Lyrics: Russel Allen, Michael Pinnella] Looking out on a blue sky I can see a new world arising Like a prisoner unbound I feel the power and the majesty again Looking up to the heavens I can see what I left behind Beneath the stars, moon and warm sun And all I know, is my paradise has begun ... |

One more score Another question in my mind, can't take no more Kissing the tears form my face as they fall To the ground in silence in twilight and faded time Spirits cold, with no love Bells ring a lonely chime Candle fires These lit dreams can't burn alone Winds of change bring songs upon my memory An empty heart and soul intoxicates me This darkened page orchestrates my final destiny Not knowing what, what tomorrow will bring [Chorus] From within the mirrors eyes I'm forced to run away and hide I feel those mystic eyes subside And leave my blind Through passages in time A prisoner locked beind the door Lonely roses slowly wither and die I can't escape this captive misery Heart stone cold, under supremacy Thrown into a raging sea of tyranny Lifes vile walls have tangled me in threads Eternally caught in my futures threads Play the violent strings of my symphony [SOLO] Transcend the absence of this fantasy Just another vision Washed away with the tide No place for forgotten ones I cannot deny What lies beyond, beyond this fantasy [Chorus] From within the mirrors eyes I'm forced to run away and hide I feel those mystic eyes subside And leave my blind Through passages in time A prisoner locked beind the door Lonely roses slowly wither and die |

Pictures of what used to be,
Lie in pieces on the floor Finds himself in an empty room, Her voice calls out to him He opens the door, but there's no one there No one there Draped in a silken glow of moonlight through the mist I see, A lucid cathedral appears to me. Pray for a glimpse of touch of sunlight chain our shadow down, Night settles in, my love, You never make a sound. You never make... a sound Love is flowing from my fingertips Never in control of this domain. All around me, my essence lay Watch the vultures circle through the pouring rain. Close your eyes and try to remember Discordant lullabies of days gone by. Close your eyes on the edge of forever A chance to dream, fast asleep your nightmare ends. As the walls converge around me. Castles crumbling down, Everything is not as it seems to be. Once more, I feel I must return No more Will my soul burn. Dawn breaks the ground, my love, And with it you fade away... Close your eyes and try to remember Discordant lullabies of days gone by. Close your eyes on the edge of forever A chance to dream, fast asleep your nightmare ends. Close your eyes and try to remember Discordant lullabies of days gone by. Close your eyes on the edge of forever A chance to dream, fast asleep your nightmare ends. Oh My love, Live Again! |

a man with intent in the Devil's den for I know not what to believe yet mad I am not in trust I deceive Radical alterations in my temper grows worse day by day I will offer you extreme opposition Savage curtain closes in on you but I do grieve the evident behind this illusion The fury of demons possessing me my fiendish corruption will fill my need every reason to fulfill my deed. Have we not a perpetual inclination to violate that witch is law merely because we know it is to be?

When all the angels cry
sadness reigns upon us all white doves fade to black With the absence of the heart we could never smile we can feel the bitter tears Whispers from you - calling out from above visions I can't see, like the wind and your love whispers to you - calling out through the night words I can't hear, graceful figure in white And when you watch over me please guide me all the way you're my judge and my jury As I lay my head to rest your absence will surround me and I'll die another death Whispers from you - calling out from above visions I can't see, like the wind and your love Whispers to you - calling out through the night words I can't hear, graceful figure in white [Solo] Whispers from you - calling out from above visions I can't see, like the wind and your love Whispers to you - calling out through the night words I can't hear, graceful figure in white |

Lightning flashes across the sky
the hands of time keep falling like the pouring rain Soft voice call my name; I've seen this place before This whole thing is mad and still I can see that he awaits for me As the knife cuts to the vein am I going insane? Have I lost my mind? Ten years gone by, my friend, haunting me scars will fade but never die Prisoner waiting out my time looking back through years gone by My mind is always wondering what can I do to seal a different fate, can I undo the things I've done? I lie on the ground without making a sound and cry for my life again As the knife cuts to the vein am I going insane? Have I lost my mind? Ten years gone by, my friend, haunting me scars will fade but never die Staring down at me through my eyes I can see al the terror and pain still live on I can't leave silver strand is pulling me back to mortality (Solo) As the knife cuts to the vein am I going insane? Have I lost my mind? Ten years gone by, my friend, haunting me scars will fade but never die |

Deep within a tiny box, shadowed truth under the locks
Burns inside your heart - then it starts Your soul stretched on the rack the straw that breaks the back Watch the make-up crack... Got no peace of mind, now you're going blind Secrets within, living in sin. No one needs to know, watch the cancer grow Feel it eating - Secrets within Secrets hurt if they are told, someone's trust you will have sold - Don't tell a soul. Hear the cry inside of you, live the lie or speak the truth - when will it end? Your soul stretched on the rack the straw that breaks the back Watch the make - up crack... Got no peace of mind, now you're going blind Secrets within, living in sin. No one better know, feel the cancer grow Feel it eating - Secrets within your mind [Solo] Got no peace of mind, now you're going blind Secrets within, living in sin.

a darkened day you'll see it clear your shadows call while you stand tall watch before me while you fall Times are changing, rearranging where's the answer we've all been looking for transient dreaming do you believe in I am the answer to it all where are you heading to time will tell to a destiny that fate knows well so fly away Victim of the silence - wipe the cobwebs from your eyes beware the season - the lies, the treason, the pain You're running in reverse now - while struggling to break free the path you strayed from can only lead to dismay Living a timeless tale Behold the truth unveiled Passion and glory fill my heart Knowing my fate Nightmare of fantasy Untrue reality Learning the lesson as we fight to stay alive Awakened by the thunder - crashing conscience through your mind persistent voices - all evils call out your name Tears can break the silence - let your doubts and fears be heard You're releasing inned peace from your soul Marching on staff in hand falling into darkness carry on through the endless nights calling Living a timeless tale Behold the truth unveiled Passion and glory fill my heart Knowing my fate Nightmare of fantasy Untrue reality Learning the lesson as we fight to stay alive Crying downs your doubts and fears they say that time just might heal the wounds of love it replaces shattered traces of despair looking out through all the years they say that time just might heal the wounds of love it replaces Love will light the darkness there bringing some hope into view it replaces the nameless faces of loneliness that you once knew Marching on staff in hand falling into darkness carry on through the endless nights calling Living a timeless tale Behold the truth unveiled Passion and glory fill my heart Knowing my fate Nightmare of fantasy Untrue reality Learning the lesson as we fight to stay alive |

I. AT THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH (lyrics: Romeo, Pinnela)
On the edge of paradise Tears of woe fall, cold as ice Hear my cry Renounce, have you, thy name Eternal is my pain Eternal is the pain that leads me to the thrones of temptation Eternal is the pain that leads me to the thrones of temptation Eternal is my pain that leads me to the thrones of temptation II, IN THE ROOM OF THRONES (instrumental) III. A GATHERING OF ANGELS (lyrics: Michael Romeo) There was a time When nine choirs sang the endless melody of light Music of the spheres Threre was a place Where mortals embraced thunder and majesty Their fate lay in our hands Feel my wings slowly fading (ooh) Forever lost in time (ooh) I cry (ooh) IV. THE WRATH DIVINE (lyrics: Michael Romeo, Thomas Miller) The burning conflict I'm feeling It summons me to descend into the other side And just beyond the stars blazing A beam light from a red, velvet moon illuminates me I will devise From perfect skies, a dark and vengeful day Faith and mercy gone astray With strength of infinite measure The mighty sword divides order from chaos in the kingdom below And from the mansions of glory This empty soul cries out one final plea ? the end has begun Our worlds collide Now in disguise you'll feel the Wrath Divine Tears of woe fall from the sky V, THE PROPHET'S CRY (lyrics: Michael Romeo) The prophet cries Vast battalions rage on in the sky Rising from the north ? the bringer of war Eve of destruction Summon all who have power over fire Impending doom from shore to shore Standing on the edge of paradise I sacrifice my truth and loyalty Seven deadly sins consume you all, a dance with death I taste the victory Rising from the north ? the warrior prince (Eternal is the pain that leads me to temptation) Judgement without compassion eyes of fear Like the river styx, the gates of hell (Eternal is the pain that leads me to temptation) “Abandon hope all ye who enter here” The prophets cry As armies fall from the edge of the sky The Prince of truth, now the bringer of war The day of wrath Banish all kings from the face of the land Dominion for strength is my name VI. BRINGER OF THE APOCALYPSE (instrumental) i. Eve of Sacrifice ii. Armies in the Sky iii. Dies trae VII. PARADISE REGAINED (lyrics: Russel Allen, Michael Pinnella) Looking out on a blue sky I can see a new world arising Like a prisoner unbound I feel the power and the majesty again Looking up to the heavens I can see what I've left behind Beneath the stars, moon and warm sun And all I know is my paradise has begun |

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...' |

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?"" |

Rise of the One -
The Dark Iconoclast Forging a cult of fear, With legions unsurpassed Shouting the word - With vicious tongues of fire Born of illusion and deceit, Fiendish soul of a liar. The chaos unseen rips The midnight sky Infernal machines arise - Flesh and steel collide CHORUS We are strong We will stand and fight We are strong We will stand and fight With rage we ride into the flames Striking with Spears of Hate, At the heart where evil reigns Holding the line from the charge Of armored steeds Gather around this deadly ground, Come watch the War God bleed. The chaos unseen rips The midnight sky Infernal machines arise - Flesh and steel collide REPEAT CHORUS Victory or death, only time will tell Synthetic resurrection, From the heart of hell Slowly they fall, as we watch The daylight die We spit and curse this hallowed earth With our final Battle Cry. The chaos unseen rips The midnight sky Infernal machines arise - Flesh and steel collide REPEAT CHORUS |

And let the poison flow Torn apart - you're ripping out my heart It's painless, let it go Hit the switch - you son of a bitch I'm devoured, broke in two You take control and resurrect my soul Becoming something new... What's done is done - I'm dead inside I'm what you've all become - mindless and mesmerized Dehumanized I'm dehumanized Don't you realize - I'm Dehumanized Oh, and Victimized You can't break me, You unmake me - Dehumanized Ripped to shreds - the venom spreads Release the system plague Shed your skin - electrified within Complete the final stage I will break my shell and unleash Hell There's nothing you can do Just a cut above - this sacred New Blood Becoming something new...

Or is this life just a lie? 'Cause my eyes are cold and numb, And I don't know what the hell I've become... Dehumanized I'm Dehumanized Don't you realize - We're all dehumanized Enslaved and Victimized You can't break us, No, you can't unmake us We have all become - Dehumanized |

You can be all you desire
An honest man - a vicious liar Seek out the Light or seek the Dark You can honor or desecrate Sympathize or manipulate Carved in your flesh - embrace the Mark Enslaved and hypnotized - Chained to artificial lives You are the Bastards of the Machine The Bastards of the Machine Be a saint for those in need Or spin them webs of lust and greed. Yeah, you've restored my dying faith With a Kiss of Death - a last farewell Hand in hand, through the Gates of Hell You'll pay the price for the choice you make I see your demons rise - Deep within your burning eyes You are the Bastards of the Machine The Bastards of the Machine The Bastards of the Machine The Bastards of the Machine |

Soaring on winds of woe and pestilence Remove imperfection - Parasites with lives of little consequence. Even though we know the sky is falling Still we choose not to believe, On your knees... Heretic - devil in disguise Never quit - tearing down the walls, brick by brick Feeding on the lies - Heretic Counterfeit's the kingdom you devise The flesh breeds corruption - Irradicate the insect prey, exterminate Crawl with the Leeches - you cry Shattered to pieces - you die Here I stand - god of man - the Perfect Beast Even though we know the sky is falling Still we choose not to believe On your knees... Heretic - devil in disguise Never quit - tearing down the walls, brick by brick Feeding on the lies - Heretic Counterfeit's the kingdom you devise Watch me burn - Live and learn As the night surrounds me No escape, no where to hide Feel the sting of severing Become one with Darkness No escape, I'm dead inside Heretic - devil in disguise Never quit - tearing down the walls, Brick by brick Feeding on the lies - Heretic Counterfeit's the kingdom you devise |

Screaming at the walls around me -
Broken and alone Fighting with my inner demons is all I've ever known All I am - I give to you All my dreams and nightmares, too Disconnected life of anguish - The mirror fades to black Feels like I'm sinking deep into illusion. No one's staring back Somewhere unseen - there's something between Is it the truth or a lie... CHORUS Can't you see - You and me We're Children of a Faceless God Misery is our destiny We're Children of a Faceless God Just another faceless shadow - I'm desensitized And I don't feel the pain, am I insane? My nightmare's realized Somewhere unseen - there's something between Is it the truth or a lie... REPEAT CHORUS All I have - I give to you All my dreams, my nightmares, too Wretched promenade - watch the freak parade Celebrate the suffering and affliction Laugh at tragedy - worship sin with me Let us share in selfish addiction Spitting on the shrine - drink the poison wine Leave a life in ruins - tattered and torn Completely interfaced to a God without a Face In his image of darkness... I'm reborn REPEAT CHORUS |

I believe... Nothing ever comes to light -
Chasing shadows in the night In a starless sky and I wonder why I believe...We will never find a way - That darkness lights the day We never question why, still I wonder why? I close my eyes lost in a memory Just like a candle in the wind What could have been, with just one kiss goodbye You spread your wings to fly Far away, somehow, someday you will understand I hope you'll understand... someday Silent pictures speak like ghosts in the machine Haunting my reflection in the frame Chasing down the hopeful child inside of me Where'd it all go wrong and who's to blame We pass the time away With empty lives, the laughter dies CHORUS Is this all we have to show? Is this all they'll ever know? Can they find their way? What went wrong? Where have all the heroes gone? Trading futures for a song we gave away Thinking only of myself, I forged ahead No regrets, no apologies Bitter tears reward the life that I have led A world of lies brings me to my knees I took the road with every twist and every turn The words of wisdom is the lesson never learned Lose your fear and free your soul or The mysteries of life you'll truly never know REPEAT CHORUS I close my eyes, lost in that memory Like a candle in the wind What could have been, with just one kiss goodbye You spread your wings to fly far away I hope you'll understand one day REPEAT CHORUS What went wrong? Where have all our heroes gone? Trade our future for a song, We gave it all away... |

Why did you have to go tempting fate? Blinded by your ambitions Why can't you see the chaos you create? Oh - have we gone too far, too fast?

Alone I traveled through the mountains
Led by a star fading west When I came upon an ancient ruined church and there I stopped to rest Then the black and gloomy night that chased my footsteps crashed down on me like a wave Whispering through the trees an eerie breeze carried a voice beckoning me to be her slave In a whisper she said... Burn forever Leave never from my arms Embrace the night From the black and twisting shadows rose a woman beauty alluring to the eye Oh her devilish grin, her moonlit skin and long dark hair flowing down around her thighs As she approached I felt the evil growing stronger I waltzed with the wicked within Frozen in my place, she kissed my face and in a storm of passion bathed me in sin In the madness...she said... Burn forever Leave never from my arms Embrace the night Then she weaved a mist - and cast me into the shadows "Come with me, love eternally, forever mine" "Set me free - in death we'll dance eternally forever and ever..." As so the light, cast down from the heavens, washed over me like a wave I awoke, it seems, from some crazy dream only to find I was standing at her grave In my nightmare...she said Burn forever Leave never from my arms Embrace the night Burn forever Leave never from my arms Don't ever leave me- never leave me Burn forever Leave never from my arms Embrace the night |

Through eerie reach of ancient woods
where lumbering mists arise I journey for nine moons of the year to where a land of legend lies Deep within a stony lamp-lit hall under falling grains of sand Magic eyes glance magic pages turned by magic hands And as he spoke I watched in awe A God's aura in his eyes Master of all Darkness fall - Spirits arise Lord of Storms - Blacken the skies With heavy breath, I break the seal howls echo through the room Blood lettings of a black Raven's heart Conjure up the wraiths of doom I cannot heed my Master's call Lakes of Fire - writhe and swell Foolish eyes - while spying Prophet's pages unleash Barons of Hell And as they rose I watched in awe A God's aura in my eyes Master of all Darkness fall - Spirits arise Lord of Storms - Blacken the skies |

[lyrics - Allen] On a cold and misty night, A ring of torches light the hallowed ground Where his father's laid to rest In the reflection of a sword He sees his destiny and he swears up to the sky - "You will not have died in vain" On the field - with sword and shield Amidst the din of dying man's wails War is waged - and the battle will rage Until only the righteous prevail From the shadows comes a man, Returning to his land - Winds of change Taint the sweet smell of home And all around him, he can see The pain and misery This tyrant's reign is through "I will stand and fight... Will you?" A heart of gold pumps within his metal skin A noble line he carries on On the field - with sword and shield Amidst the din of dying man's wails War is waged - and the battle will rage Until only the righteous prevail I wish to stay...to be here with you You were my strength...How can I go on? On the field - with sword and shield Amidst the din of dying man's wails War is waged - and the battle will rage Until only the righteous prevail |

Needless to say, another day has passed away
Yet everything, and nothing, has changed Awake I lie, my thoughts get lost up in the sky Yet everything, and nothing, has changed... Maybe a mystic - with fortunes to tell... Surrender my coin at the old wishing well... Maybe the stars will align in the night... To show me the path that is right 'Would've been's and 'could've been's they waste my days away the colors of my life dissolve and fade to gray So many paths of promise Indecision poisons my mind If only I had seen the signs - so blind Yet I must journey on - on and on A haunting vision torments me It smothers and steals my dreams I see an old man in the mirror cold and bitter starring back at me Here I am - at the crossing of life I stand On my own - looking down the road Hear my cry - answer me Still I'm searching yet the truth is unknown - though the night is cold I walk the road alone |
