Mirage – A Portrayal of Figures
Part 1: The Last Survivors music: Marek Arnold, Martin Schnella lyrics: Martin Schnella The Human: We're all endangerd Hiding from the daylight What is their intention? Never mentioned Led by illusions The Psyche: help me out Evil devolution fear and doubt Backed by our memories We are the last survivors We hold the line until the end Part 2: No Way Out music: Martin Schnella lyrics: Anja Hampe, Martin Schnella, Anne Trautmann Piper: There's no time to lose John: Try to escape Piper: This place is worse to choose John: Don't be afraid we will find a way out The Sleeper: Beware of the sleeper Scared of the keeper Sent by the magistrate to collect your souls Piper: Do you hear the noise? What does this mean? John: We have to make a choice Open The Door Piper: What have they done To you my friend? Ethan: Now, it's too late There is no chance to keep me from fate Sleeper: Remind the warning Last chapter's closing There is no chance You won't find a way out Ethan: I brought their aim to light Piper/John: Tell us the truth! John: Danger's deep inside Ethan: As long as you can you should find the way out Part 3: Captured music: Marek Arnold, Martin Schnella lyrics: Martin Schnella, Anja Hampe, Anne Trautmann The Psyche Loneley and painful He is losing his soul Taken by the sleeper Dreadful Keeper Lonley and painful He's losing his soul Taken by the sleeper Dreadful Keeper Longing for daylight (kurze Pause) Captured inside We have to seek shelter Before they take posession of our souls Part 4: Confused music: Martin Schnella lyrics: Martin Schnella, Anja Hampe, Anne Trautmann Guitar Solos: Martin Schnella The Eye Lasting for hours they get lost in this maze Surrounded by illiusions created by the magistrate Being exhausted they are taking a break And when John closes his eyes, the sleeper awakes The Sleeper Are you surprised? Things ain't always what they seem They will never let you go, you'd better rot in hell The Eye As the sleeper turns away, lordly, without esteem John's wearing him down with a rebell yell John: Is it me? What's happening here? The Clairvoyant: The sleeper is passing away But John realizes he's starting to change Staring afraid face to face at this sinister place A young and a frightened man His own ego appears of former days Is it the truth or just a mad game to play? John: My fears, emotions, sorrows and pain Ha! All right! Who knows them better than me? But did I kill myself or am I going insane? Now I have to revoke to fulfill my need Piper: John what's the problem? We've got to get out Your illusions mislead you, without any doubt! The Eye With a kick in his face she knocks him out Piper: I'm so sorry but I have no choice! Piper: Sunlight and wind on my skin There's no time to lose, we have to move on The Uprising District, our aim, within our reach I'm sorry, but I had no choice To save you from worse, so now hear my voice Escaping the solar storm! Let's get in the fort! Guitar Solo: Gary Wehrkamp The Sleeper : You made a dash for freedom but you won't go very far I will hunt and catch you! We will win this war! I will penetrate your mind to capture your soul While you're breaking down I will reach my goal The Eye: You have to fight for freedom only a few survived They won't spare no effort to take control of your mind The division of powers, the virtual sovereign The minders, the confidants and the mighty magistrate The Sleeper Do you think you will make it? I know you will fail! The illusions are stronger there's no chance to prevail You make me laugh!I am deeply impressed In this world of betrayers, whom do you trust? The Eye: Beware of the sleeper he puts on human shape Do not be deterred, they try to manage the human race All you can do is to relieve you from pain Don't fall for the mirage – Don't play their game! Part 5: Noone Home Pt. 1 music: Marek Arnold, Martin Schnella lyrics: Martin Schnella, Anja Hampe, Anne Trautmann The Psyche Lorn and deserted ...so uncertain Where are all the people? Come and spread the truth to warn them all The Psyche & The Eye: Reckless and painful They will take all our souls Hunted by the sleeper Dreadful keeper Lorn and deserted ...so uncertain Where are all the people? Come and spread the truth to warn them all Colonel Abraham: Piper, John …. You're back I've been expecting you!

John: I remember the day we fell in love Your eyes as blue as the sea Nothing could ever come between us I remember the day he was born His tiny little feet Please help, I cannot let them go away The Memory: You live from day to day Don't let your grief prevail Take the chance and start again Esther: You and I - fly through the morning light We're reaching for the sky Even at the coming of night Just You and I Do you remember the day he found his feet for the first time?

Am I still alive? Is there anyone? Just give me a sign! The Sleeper: Would you please come in and please take a seat? I'm the one who came for you to retrieve You have to understand and please don't resist Now you have to trust me and fall asleep The Memory: Follow me to familiar Repress your sentiments and let them fade away You are the holy saviour Just when you fall asleep you'll see the light of day Guitar Solo: Martin Schnella Flute Part: The Memory: See the light Enlightened for you to shine Hear her cries Coming from deep inside In a world you do not know No one can hear you pray Where the truth is left untold Pictured in shades of grey Oh, this world you should not care Even when you regret Only pain for you to bear A delusion you can't protect Esther: In a world you do not know No one can hear you pray Where the truth is left untold Pictured in shades of grey Oh, this world you should not care Even when you regret Only pain for you to bear A delusion you can't protect
