§ Orpheus I play poetry. I want this God deceived. And when the sun goes down I will climb into the underworld How did I lose my way in life? Can I start it over again? I want to blind this God with music To bring my loved one home I played along with the boatman's hunger For the coins in my hand He brought me into the darkest of realms For my love I will cross past this dimension door § Hades I will raise the foes of my kingdom There's no fight I am crushing all my enemies Now, there is no heart There's no sympathy There eyes are as cold as the night § Orpheus How did I lose my way in life? Can I start it over again? I want to blind this God with music To bring my loved one home You took her... I want her back tonight! Under these circumstances I'll fight Let us settle this nice Today you picked a flower of innocence § Hades You tremble at my throne in awe My darkness prevails § Orpheus It is my poetry emotions that I share with you tonight I praise thee I intend to commence in the writing of a hymn They'll be chanting your name in the living's realm Writing about thee in poetry § Hades I can see across my whole kingdom I said: "Go, but you don't look at Eurydice!" Now go back and meet your destiny Torment awaits her in the abysses of Hell § Orpheus But in the end he released my love On the terms we agreed: "Walk not to turn, do not look in her eyes" In the end I could not help but to turn around § End game Five birds are flying above one bird's perception the others are ignoring So, two birds part their flock this day All will never play together There is another kind of ball game From this day on, and from now...

With no intention I face a door that hides a chain of reactions Trans-universal eves unite Let's mess around with the God of creation Can I find a way to reach your soul? The clockwork spins; divides the uni-twins Then how can we unify? We are the twins through time Feel my soul through the fibers of space Cosmic events are the soul of the world And gathered int he consciousness of life Am I? Do I exist without a memory of my body? How do I know if I ever lived? What's real? With no intention I face a door that hides a chain of reactions Cross-universal eves unite Let's mess around with the God of creation Can I find a way to reach your side? The clockwork spins; divides the uni-twins Now I sense I am your equation The fool that sought your reflection Sense my soul; unite us as one! Now I can figure out how to break free I have been able to cross time Merge your universe with mine Fare well!

Electric tension will foster an iron scourge Inside the tower of Wardenclyffe The weather's running wild Craving force, power fusion, radiant diffraction A whole production managed by one man The tower of Tesla will stand All the world rejoices Now as science brings the world to light But the electromagnetic field of the Earth Brings all to a wild collision This December something's on the rise There's a sign in a dark horizon Cosmic fusion, sky divine Ash from above Makes an illusion Liquified metal rain down Draping the sky in shades this night There was a place called Iron Cemetery And science made it so Forceful and decisive was the ironizing And when metallic smoke had cleared up The human race resembled robotic remains They met their end in silence Watching his act Turning to chaos Trying to finalize a cure Watching his loved ones turn So the years pass in silence without intrusion Then suddenly a fragile flower blooms Diffusing its life-giving fumes Ash from the sky Made its intrusion Forging its liquified crown Down on the living of this world

He's staring out the window As his mother leaves He opens a door in his own mind To search for the company he'd love to find This is the first time that he's left behind In Christmas time He tries to make food on the floor he lights up the firework his mom brought home Love fails then something breaks down And out of despair when deceived He is strengthening his fantasy faculties Beating in her daily care With a fist that hurts or self-sustaining mind games The cracks in the wall are beginning to show now Drunk in his bedroom she laughs 'til he wakes Then she scares him with faces she makes In a soft stream he travels now The garden and his fairy let him in Into the great unknown... I travel down Beneath the stones and rocks I go It's a lonely, lonely road I had a talk with my angels and demons On my world of true affliction I rolled the dice, what to do, and believe in? Which way is the best to walk? He narrows his consciousness To a state of mind that astral-travels far Now is he asleep or awake? Alone with his sister he's five years of age He doesn't think he can do this alone On a soft bed he lays her down The window of Anubis lets her in He travelled the stars and then back again His mother is waiting this time On the floor lies his one-year-old sister She's lifeless...

I heard a voice whisper: "Transfigure all; You're burning down the city Just to build it up again" I have a dream to stand up tall, immortalized I build a statue that will stand eternity Divine intervention has brought me to the throne The emperor sees through an actors eyes The show goes on A new beginning... let's play All of the world's my stage In my mind there are vast plans impending And when aligned a new world will rise My secret friend has been aiding me, to find a way Through our cosmic intercourse Don't be afraid now! Wake up from confusion! Stay the course thought! I am here, the Gods are not I'm not the one who's in need of protection The gods need aid from me All his work is delayed The funds are running few Employing his last resort He launches a suicide campaign When the dark cloaks a traitor And the "busy bees" employs Then, the vanquish of the senate will begin A foe of the state and an emperor of his dreams And so he prepares his suicide "The world will lose the greatest artist that lived" Echoes his words today Five birds are flying past unfertile soil Then circling by a lifeless emperor They separate their ways; its a sign Like waves are approaching the coastline His life pulls closer to the end The tyrant's reign is at its ending

One artifact has been damaged in Chambery Through fire it held A riddle's found at the 1890's end Much is lost As records begin I take the time to advertise my vision God's earthly bound Technology will set us free Through my mind's Prophecy the visions shows history Plot is acted out, all the world our stage The space-time decipher I sense a man And his fortune is our history A wrap from a white shroud Hides the truth to the year 2004 Mystery solved By science's advance it was a man's acceptance with misfortune A cross to bear Technology will set us free Through my mind's prophecy, the visions shows history Plot is acted out, all the world our stage Space-time decipher As I rest on cavern ground All the world is praying My spirit will be free My sacrifice binds man

The pain that I feel The agony The tribulation Is something I will overcome And I see the swan pond It's hard to imagine a life free of strain I want this life that I am constantly denied They raise their hand in repugnance But I will get through Hey, duck Go and hide inside! You are to foul and ugly to socialize You might even scare them off Complain and cry You are a sucker You are a nasty case Your face should be hidden Your presence forbidden Inside I am a diamond But turning inside out Is painfully complicated Now I will take my life and my leave Looking into the water Too shocked to duck and drown I'm not the one that I used to be The mirror shows a swan Hey swan Play with us tonight Follow the secret path where the river ends We welcome you to our home This way! Come now! Follow the secret path where the river ends You came out of nowhere We want you to live your lfie

The sun unveils a crusaders sword And its reflection: a desert ambush The wind is leading the way for disaster A sultan and a king engage in war A man ensconced in the Holy City is reading the signs And prepares a stronghold for fight Ravens fly through a blood red sky, stars cry Hello there friend and soldier Nice to have in arms a brother Nice to die on such a lovely day We are the front line First in place and long remembered Our end be the start of this song It swallows its prey as the desert digest This day is leading the way for disaster They see the demon in each others eyes Who falls and who's left to rise, only God will know The battle leads on, a vicious & terrible nightmare In the heat of the moment every second my count Roll the dice! Write the history only victors can do And as he bravely ends the death throe from his foe Saladin exclaims in exultation: "Jerusalem is mine. I want to celebrate this day This city is my holy grail. I will control it now" They are lost in a battle. In a blink of an eye In the heat of the moment, you are waiting to die I will not end you We are kings, and kings stand tall You will have your game without your pieces I will return in thousand years And move my kind from east to west We will control you all And if you look out for the signs You remember what I tell you: "Quod sumus - hoc eritis!"
