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 ain’t me Something so strong My mood has swung I can’t 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) It’s 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…)

You’re searching and bursting There seems to be no cure When tension endures Delusions corrupting my mind I can see I perceive this ain’t 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) It’s 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) It’s 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: Ariën 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. Façade 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...

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

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.

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

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!

1. Karma [Music by Mark Jansen, Coen Janssen, Simone Simons] [Lyrics by Mark Jansen] Dominus Sum Rerum Gestarum Mearum Heresque Sum Rerum Omnium A Me Gestarum Ortus Ex Natus Ex Meis Factis Sum Coniunctus Cum Meis Gestis Meis Gestis Sum Affirmatus Tale Monacho Revolvendum est Adiutus his vivo 2. Monopoly On Truth [Music by Isaac Delahaye, Mark Jansen, Simone Simons] [Lyrics by Mark Jansen, Simone Simons] Nos docti, pensantes Sed non semper veridici At the Zenith of wisdom No defying myself Defying myself To the point of reaction You propose and I dispose I see what you mean It's clear, what you say The truth isn't just a derivative of your views Truth is a fiction of your views These are my thoughts No discussion My righteous plan Just think it over now Another point of view It's time we realize our errs Where it is leading to if nobody sees it There's never an absolute Nos docti Sed non semper veridici I can be so enchanting With words beset in gold Beset in gold

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 façade 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, I’ve 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 It’s not that complicated You’re 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 I’m 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 can’t deny Whatever’s hurting me Won’t 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, I’m 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 don’t 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 tragedy’s not far behind Kneeling in disaster Through all the doubt I can’t allay Hold on, move on Now As it was meant to be Suffering’s 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 don’t 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. I’ve flown a far beyond the sea, To find the other side of me. I’ve 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. I’ve flown a far beyond the sea, To find the other side of me. I’ve waited long and patiently, To live without dubiety This is my covenant to thee My belief. My one belief. You’re all I need, my one belief. The winds of time will carry me. To live without dubiety Don’t let this ever end [Chorus:] We flown a far beyond the sea, To find each other finally. We’ve waited long and patiently To build a bridge between dualities
