Into the Night World

Burn, in a universe of nothing, like the sun, I am one of an infinite number, all too lost, too undone I will forge my own world, my own law, and if broken, my dragons will decimate without a single word ever spoken Firelight for as far as heaven is wide Summon the dragon war Twilight of the ones, the Children of God Burning, falling Why — in spite of great abundance — do we suffer? Die? The wise know not to off the light at night, so to watch the lazy waste their lives I will forge … We have allowed you to stake your claim, but you’ll do nothing else, no more This world is not, never was your domain and you have lost this war

Pulled under, I drown in search for meaning in this ocean of self-hating children and blame Why does the story always end the same way? The fire’s fading, I am ~ I will decide and shed forever my frozen image here on earth I’m being pulled Into The Night World Enter a Phantom Universe (This) was not meant for me, and I feel you owe no emotion I hold my head high just the same I will use what I have, what you gave away We play with our words and we play with our tongues And we dream of songs that have yet to be sung while our hearts grow stale I know this ink on my skin forms a link from my sins to my soul I can see, now, sight beyond sight, of a world behind ours, and the truth behind the veil The fire’s fading, I am playing along, it’s all so fake The fire’s fading, I am Enter a new age here on Earth Enter a Phantom Universe

A course was set but with a planet this far gone was there ever any hope at all? I vaguely recollect the ache of our ambition, our brief age of contrition We set out, we had a mission Once our common cause, I would give my all The sun could not outshine me It wasn’t something new, just something real and true There is a fire in my heart and somewhere deep inside a cry for war still overtakes the silence All they ever see is my face, it’s all part of the show, our masquerade, always Dawn is only so near, and our pain and our pride is all we have here, always We are too busy standing tall, caught up, and too afraid what happens if we stumble, if we fall? We build our homes of sticks and weeds and fear the wind too much to risk planting new seeds But that’s just what we need now But you’re still on my mind, in my sights, and if I have to carry on alone, I will conquer on my own I stand outside the world, A Guardian, I will defend it with my life and I am soaring ever higher …all we have

Life is strange sometimes, wouldn’t you say? I know it was for us, but that’s okay You made me smile, I taught you how and you do it too, even just thinking about it now I know it isn’t easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is It was a dream, a perfect image of a life that turned out to be just a moment, lost with me Our time we had together, we thought would last forever You will always know what we said and what we showed Stay with me, in this moment I remain in your arms, in your memories and dreams Will you wake up and still remember? Once you belonged, you had found your way Oh, to feel alive and safe every day Those little things that matter most, you know? We had, and more, it was indescribable I know it isn’t easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is Our love was true, but now the promise of the future calls to you I know you hear it, too Will you wake up and still remember me?

Under attack by an alien race All-out war in the depth of space This may well be our defining moment but I just wanna get away I just wanna get away Come on baby, got a space boat just for two It’s all set, just me and you Brace for escape velocity, now it’s time to go! Come on baby, got a way out, what are we to do? I would have done it all for you But ours is a different destiny, now it’s time to go You know me, I can’t deal with this ’tude Oh, I would totally fight for you but not for this fucking planet I just wanna get away I just wanna get away I will wrap myself in your echo, dream and imagine Do you remember the night we happened? The road underneath and the engine? I just want you to be here or I will be anywhere, I don’t care just as long as you’ll be there Tonight we will disappear

I would have thought to find you somewhere less sinister I know you know the truth but still act the court jester, still That is who we are, from the dust of stars… We fight over ridiculous things while our sun expands to one day kill us all A perfect end for the waste of space that we are How many witches burned, how many drowned that wouldn’t float? How many women killed because we feared they would rock the boat? Still… (It’s) who we are

The ground, torn asunder, foul scent of blood and dirt Shine a light into a darkness otherwise left undisturbed Can you tell who they are by the shadows they cast? Dark souls find ways to pass through the light, hide in plain sight, they hunt and claim the day and the night Are these our final hours just before the fall? One breath and all is lost, once and for all Fate sealed, the ground begins to roar beneath our feet One breath and all is lost, the end revealed (… the end of all) Your souls will fuel the engine No end to punishment Evil must be defeated ‘cause Evil does not relent What if hell isn’t future but part of our past? Some always seek to resurrect old ways, travel back in haste, have the world relive its darkest days I touch the fire and I soar embrace your burning heart, be something more I wear their symbols on my skin, but I am not like them, not deep within I touch the fire and I rise, fly again I touch the fire and I fly I touch the fire and I rise I touch the fire — I’m alive

I disappear as the water comes over me Why is it so hard to keep breathing? Here is our terminus, and a yellow sky above tell me, Who are we? What of us? and Where are you, my love? I feel I… I’m on the edge of a dark world and I’m scared Shadows descend on me — Please wake me up! I know that you’ll find me if I believe, if… If I keep breathing I fear my time is here so would you please, please hurry, I need you I need you here, I need you to rescue me from down where I wander aimlessly Here is our terminus, and a yellow sky above tell me, Who are we? What of us? I don’t know, it’s not enough, I feel I…

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

The things I’ve seen, where I’ve been, if I could tell you, I would But I’ve no words, I have but these scars under my skin I always thought they were dreams, certainly not memories But you are here, what does it mean? Where do we begin? From Heaven sent, or the other thing? I don’t care, I don’t need to know I am awake, I’m remembering, our time is never enough Will you hold on to me? Embrace me if I toss and turn? Tell me, do you believe? Come watch with me, as our world burns Will you pretend with me, (that to) what we once were, we will return? Sky, earth and in-between Come watch with me, as our world burns I was alone, it was okay, I never felt quite right in a crowd anyway My comfort found among selected few, but true to me I act the part (that) you expect I was never sure, but it seemed to be the best disguise, don’t you see? You never really saw me We have come to impasse The universe demands a sacrifice a balance to restore That means you and me, not either or Are you prepared to give everything? I will not let you go for anything Screw balance, I want more, a life worth living for
