Follow me as I retrace my steps Divine night you will not regret Inviting abyss Warm sweet air, a heightened mood Liquid languid, all is in tune Enchanting mist Moonlight symphony speaks to me Speaks to me Speaks to me It says, "My astronomers, let us study the stars" May the shadows fall and so display a righteous path and show us the way

This track is instrumental.
Here we are so far away, so far from where we began The end Forever and ever The city's walls look high now, but I will get us in without sin With reason - With reason You're all I need to convince them Follow me, manifest our destiny Enter this living hell where I fell into a hole that was made part of me Where I wish to return, to heal and learn The saints and angels they spoke without saying a word Envision a window again and again Never look back over your shoulders, learn to begin again We are part of history now He who's calm is mad and insane Don't ever - Don't ever forget or try to sever This was the source of my power This is the result of my reign for fame With treason - With treason I sought to deny their seasons Follow me, manifest our destiny Enter this living hell where I fell into a hole that was made part of me Where I wish to return, to heal and learn The saints and angels they spoke without saying a word Envision a window again and again Never look back over your shoulders, learn to begin again A humming din greets them as they scale the wall and make their way into a sterile stainless right-angled edged room containing countless scores of domesticated lifeless forms Berated, hated, shunned and scorned A line of people gaunt and deranged enters the chamber, a parade of strange The tribe is astonished, cannot comprehend Porcelain women and mannequin men Those straight and narrow follow a course not by willing, but by force His thoughts soon wander - are they from my past? Foregone and broken his ancient mask I connect and sympathize (Their hearts are dark without a spark Fluorescent lightning blinding and stark) With you, the one with lucid eyes (Coaxial cables joined together A seething mass separate) Never I will wait for you and the key (Tracked and traced and databased Running in circles, inhumane race) For you are the I in me (Innocence lost but they're forgiven Pawns in a game they were given)

Time, it brings us down It hardens and it cracks us Gravity weighs us down We are slaves to the ages It feasts on you and it feasts on me Each of us just a book of yellowing pages An apparition of what could be comes to him from the line and hands to him a key of silver shine The glow reflected on his face catches the eyes of the mindless multitudes marching They break rank and pursue the tribe The gilded guild breaks the stillness and leaps into the fray The tribe runs for cover and are swept up in the melee Wave after wave, the natives who defied nation or name lie down prone - Fear is shown - The passion of slaves The time drips down - Death reaps with sickle and scythe as the tribe is led away tightly tied He falls to his knees and begins to pray and lets out a sigh Please Gods, please help me If I imagine a place, so may it be Now I'm at the door I feel as if I’ve been here before Angels sin for me If beyond lies the answer, I hold the key

Stepping into a hall deep, dark and wide Rows and rows of screens From what I can see, these are metaphors of me Straining, bending my ringing ears to hear Fields and fields of screams From what I understand, this was always meant for me Walking, I find myself right in the middle of an orgy of baseless ecstasy From what I know is real, this I wish I'd never seen They dance out of time in trance pantomimes Romanced, lost in the lie Pyres for those who criticize Chimera shape shifters Shards of jagged bits and broken pieces Prosaic mosaics captured in timeless frozen freezes They worship but are preyed upon More victims of the soft kill Floating down flickering avenues My truth not far Gravity pulls me in Guided by a brilliant star A great window, a tragic display A vast vista, a game in play reveals how they lie to us in many ways These bowed-down docile animals are born limited minimals They deny our humanity every day The dying are smiling in painless peace Euthanized when their time is reached Liberty this will never cease Never cease - Never cease Colossal clusters of man-machines Detached, dispatched from reality With mouths sewn shut, they are straining in vain To shout out loud, out loud A revelation of a predestined plague How they were stricken to prematurely age Do not deny us our sacred freedom Destructive passion will crush this kingdom His fist hits, breaks the screen that showed all those horrific scenes Through shattered glass he will pass Phantasms, meet your iconoclast

Four figures appear before me Four to rule over the innocent One for bondage, one for power, one for greed, and another for fear In your logic, may I cast a spark? Twisted dogma, may I leave a mark? Without pretense or a defense in this moment of relevance So violent in their silence My voice trembles, my query is made Echoing throughout the chamber My words settle and slowly fade And I'm gasping for breath and reaching for depth I search my thoughts, this is all that was left I say, living's not so easy when you disregard all of your own A man cannot exist when burdened by his fatal flaws They say we are the protectors, players and directors These are creeds and solemn vows We dim the lights when certain, hide behind the curtain Submission is all we allow With all I have left in me, I slowly reach out my hand I touch them, tear off their shrouds Each face a state of my being And - And each one falls to the ground

My being takes the helm here before me Transfers into light and it gives me an inner sight and affords me every single nerve to serve and inform thee Altars of myself a deviation The benefit of their annihilation The chaos engulfs the ether A mantra of trust, a true believer This morning I can see the sailing souls yearn for peaceful seas You are one of us You are one of us You are one of us Resign yourself from all the fear and madness Disbelieve the lie of death and sadness Once you're gone, you're gone to the hereafter Embrace the joy and all the laughter Altars to myself, an aberration A benefit of my imagination A wish, a fever, or is it a vision? Maybe illusion or a derision? Rest your mystic ways Do we not share an inner peace? Without justice Without justice There is just us The line was crossed A way was lost, but now is found Break the fallow ground (x3) I am Alpha and Omega I'm the first and last Creation story without glory The present and the past I am human, I am being No longer in the caste The nightmare's over, I am closer The breaking of the fast Who is evil incarnate who mines the substrate? From a prisoner to a prophet As a prophet I return To be scorned, shunned and shut out I welcome the burn I said wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Can't you see it? Come on! Come on! Come on! Don't deny it! Grow out! Grow out! Grow out! Grow outside of it! It's here! It's here! It's here! Everywhere you'll find it! See the ones who bowed to me They can be relieved if they would only see See the ones who bowed to me They can be set free if they wish to be This I created, a fantastic maze A hallowed haloed dayglow masquerade In a moment of unknowing daze A misguided collided inner craze Sweet Septembers, joyous harvest rituals Cold Decembers beholden to the fold Forgotten memories of the sages and the tribe Still all became victims of the paradigm Victims of the paradigm Victims of the paradigm The journey to the sacred is to walk a path of pain If you take the easy road, my friend, then what is there left to gain? The lack of passion is the lack of the divine To seek out death is to find the devil in the design The devil in the design The devil in the design Maybe all that is ever is the choice of love or fear Forgiveness is not weakness Strength is when a grace is near We have won! We are one! We have won! We are one! (It was me - It was always me) (x2)
