Hyperion

"Through a slow and painfull awakening..." They met on the captain's dining platform, seven pilgrims with different stories but neverless with equal main factor. The mystery of the chrome-bladed creature, the Beast! Each one carrying the hope of being the chosen one to have his wish fulfilled, knowing that the other six must die hoping. All must they tell their story!

"In the blazing sunlight, the priest unveiled his horrid tale..." I travelled on through the swamp-lands, sailed up the river damp to bring back the church from its state of oblivion. A mission to the land of the long gone retired tribe The inbred people on the edge of the cleft. I crossed the lightning horrors of the burning forest to face my unattainable holy task. A Hell alive, Armageddon, a violent energetic eruption of immense proportions. Domine Dirige Nos! Kept alive for eternity by this throbbing parasite Distorting, numbing, mind reducing, eternal life through this horrid growth. Saying mass in my life's work, the awe striking chapel, sweet communion, I'm at inner peace to drive out this parasite by self inflicted non-lethal pain. I am eternal, immortal, I'm swirling in a vortex of the deepest agony offered an eternity of mindless life. I saw the wonder of a giant church carved into the moutain-side, a descending path into the mystery of the labyrinthine worlds. Idolized and worshipped by the tribe of the short retard men I began praying to my God again. We walked into the tunnel mouth, eroded by elements as darkness gave away to light brighter than thousand stars. I was embraced by the legendary avatar, the creature of death, in the illuminated glowing vaults. I'll fight my immortality! Kept alive for eternity by this throbbing parasite Distorting, numbing, mind reducing, eternal life through this horrid growth.

"A long awaited journey,now we're finally on the way. We leave behind the comfort of the poet's town..." Beautiful this broken town even though it's fled by man White doves flying in the sun above desert sands. Where the city stood now ruins stands, sitting in darkness with tales to tell arguing and drinking all night as well. The last fair of pilgrims with answers to gain, to go to the valley and meet with "The One" in vain. Drifting down the river, from the railing we stare. Journey on to the sea of grass, the old barge will take us there. Led along by mysterious crew, bright shiny eyes and skins of blue. The last fair of pilgrims with answers to gain, to go to the valley and meet with "The One" in vain. Drifting down the river, from the railing we stare. Journey on to the sea of grass, the old barge will take us there.

"In love and dreams she comes to me, the keeper of time..." Life as a soldier was all too easy for me, to eradicate and annihilate fit my identity. Raised as a fighting machine to destroy the enemy threat, suddenly and with no sense you came with the bloodshed. Sons and daughters of war, I have witnessed a creature I can't control anymore. Fell in love with a girl of the future, now talk to me, teach me, war-lovers we will be! You made a difference in the chaos I saw, you gave me a reason not to fight anymore. In between rage and sudden death you gave me hope and you stole my breath. Brainwashed in the art of war I've got the will to fight on, and all sense of humanity is a history long gone. Following the orders, no remorse or no fear, you appeared to me like a mad dream here. Then you came from a distance unknown in between dream and reality, fighting together from time to time. Now talk to me, teach me, war-lovers we will be! You made a difference in the chaos I saw, you gave me a reason not to fight anymore. In between rage and sudden death you gave me hope and you stole my breath. I met you in your past but in my future in a meeting still to come and listened to your whispers, you had a voice that made me numb. Your eyes blazed like jewels in the sun as you whispered in my ear. I'll take care of you my love and you've got nothing to fear. When morning came we kept each other perfectly warm in the chilling breeze, constantly sand or snow tore at naked walls. Your voice burred with the hint of an accent unknown, constantly sand or snow tore at naked walls. In a time of passion I close my eyes and see bodies burning in the solid laser light, heat of plasma explosions as I try to survive the night. Fireballs enlarging as I lie among the dead, more dead to come as suns explode in ruby red. The dying worlds! Star systems extinct in spasms of deadly fire, thickened air itself aflame as I can't control my desire. Seas of super-heated air rise in vast pulses of flame. Blazing in mad heat you brought a war from where you came. The dying worlds! You made a difference in the chaos I saw, you gave me a reason not to fight anymore. In between rage and sudden death you gave me hope and you stole my breath.

"I'll write the story of the world..." In cryogenic sleep I lost my sense, I lost my soul, experiencing and craziness has made my heart turn cold. For centuries and more I've searched my head for perfect words, I'll take my chance or live forever in a world of hurt. Impalement on a tree of thorns is definitely an option. I need the Beast to write my cantos without interruption. The trinity is split and parts roaming back through time and space and empathy is to be lured out of its hiding place. I'll face the pain with open mind because otherwise I'd die inside, the perfect irony in life. I know the answer to the future and now it is to be solved by us. The seven pilgrims of mankind! On the verge of suicide the butchery began and writting capabilities came back to me again. The disappearance of my muse had ceased with all the killing. The cantos only lived through all the blood the beast was spilling. My poem burned, destroyed in desperate screams of misery. And so I'll find my inspiration on the shining tree. I'll face the pain with open mind because otherwise I'd die inside, the perfect irony in life. I know the answer to the future and now it is to be solved by us. The seven pilgrims of mankind! With ashes flying to the sky I realize the reason why!

"Infinitely picturesque..." Night fell upon the pilgrims while sailing on the sea of grass. Through the infinite horizon the wooden ship sails by the wind to the pass. They'll journey on awaiting doom, talling their stories in the gloom. Disrupted by his baby's cries panting The old jew carries on telling.

"The loss of a day, through the length of a night..." Come child join me, now that the whiskey has turned me into another man. We'll talk and we'll laugh like old times and we'll try to understand. As I see your face, pale and terrified, it's a nightmare coming true. And believe me daughter, everyday it's a new you I'm talking to. "Everyday you have to watch me come down the stairs confused, waking up with yesterday's memories but hearing my own voice telling me that yesterday was years ago!" Old scholar, man of wisdom, take your daughter to Hyperion. Now, don't hesitate to come! Put a dagger into her heart, let her spirit fly to the sun. Let her spirit fly to the sun! How my God can this be true and why did it happen to you, why do I have to stand helpless by to relive your life too? I come to find you upright in bed to remenber all the tears we have shed, don't tell me because I already know. I'll let you cry for the twentieth night in a row! "I mean knowing that I'm getting younger everyday, losing the memories of people I have'nt even met yet. What happens next? I just keep getting younger and smaller unescapable until I just disappear some day!" Old scholar, man of wisdom, take your daughter to Hyperion. Now, don't hesitate to come! Put a dagger into her heart, let her spirit fly to the sun. Let her spirit fly to the sun! I remember you smiling in the sun, I recall everything you and I have done. To relive it everyday is too hard for me, welcome back little one. I won't hold you back, I won't stand between your and destiny. There were times when I ignored all the signs I was given. But now I have to let go and set you free! "Considering that, all hatred driven hence, the soul recovers radical innocence and learns at last that it is self-delighting, self-appeasing, self-affrighting. And that its own sweet will is Heaven's will she can, though every face should scowl, and every windy quarter howl or every bellows burst, be happy still."

"Approaching the storm..." And on they sail without water, overwhelmed by sudden emotions. Looking at the sky they'll see luminescence from vast explosions. So we're finally leaving the ship, haunted by the stench of death. Watching destruction sweep the sky, everyone will lose their breath. And on they search for the Templar, lost from sight in a frenzied bloodbath. Setting out watch, controlling weapons, invisible monster on a killing path. So we're finally leaving the ship, haunted by the stench of death. Watching destruction sweep the sky, everyone will lose their breath.

"I instantly knew by the beauty of the young man that I'd experience a special case..." A murder without death, just one minute of complete disconnection. Loss of aeons of time, loss of mass amount of information. Left outside the web, with 5 days unaccouted for a millenium of non-communication. Searching across the galaxy wide for the data lost. Unknown enemies ready to strike, to kill at any cost. Penetrating core periphery, finding the old earth re-creation. Saved in a temple as I received the implant information. Secrets hidden in lost memory and together we'll find it and we'll write history. Beautiful stranger, your life's a mystery powered by human genetics and poetry. Secrets hidden in lost memory and together we'll find it and we'll write history. Beautiful stranger, your life's a mystery powered by human genetics and poetry. "The Secret of the Leaching Network and the U.I." Divided in 3, each fighting their own fight to gain the same purpose, to gain the same might. Solids argue that between core and humanity a certain level of symbiosis is necessary. The non-persistent advocate immediate extinction, humans are a threat to complete prediction. Extremes promote the project with obsession, reconstruction and retrieval for U.I. culmination. Hyperion, the penultimate opposition! Non-subject from laws of physics and computerized prediction. Moving back in time with messages of war, the majestic valley graves so disturbing to the core. The outcome is two futures of war and beast invasion, one's a retroactive strike from core domination. The second is a fist through time sent for core destruction, a final blow from enemies who escaped the non-persistents' extinction. "I carry your child and I carry the memory of all you ever were and all you'd ever be, and as they take your body away, the frantic worshippers are chanting to me!" Bless our saviour, bless the tool to our forgiveness!

"Everything changes tonight..." Finally arriving at the keep, reaching safety, the child asleep. Altars of atonement aqainst the walls whispering echoes in the endless halls. Rough carved corridors painted blood red, sparks of explosion from the distant bloodshed. Illuminates the sky with colours of gold as the last story of the pilgrims unfold. So hear the keep, it shall reveal the traitor. And at the keep, it shall reveal the traitor.

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

"From true love only pain emerges, and yet the universe becomes one..." We floated on the oceans in hazy dreams of love, living life to the full, sun blazing from above. Strangers from different worlds yet oh so much the same. Dearest, I'll never forget your name, I'll always remember your name. Making love under the water and feel the pleasure on my skin. In your eyes I saw the burning flame of passionate vitality to fight a sin. Hologram: "Shipman, my love, to hide your disgrace, that at least I think you could have done for me, see me the way I was in between "our" days. Shipman, the pain shall not leave you, it stays! The pain crushes your heart forever!" Making love under the water and feel the pleasure on my skin. In your eyes I saw the burning flame of passionate vitality to fight a sin. It's time for the people of the sea to meet up with their sharks. You're aging much faster than me, irrevocable time debt separates us Making love under the water and feel the pleasure on my skin. In your eyes I saw the burning flame of passionate vitality to fight a sin. Entering your tomb, your monument of pride On our last reunion I'm there but you have died. Missing your touch and the energy you give, dearest, you're gone but your legend will live on. Your memory will last forever, I'm crying tears that you will never see.

In the distant Far away Trying to figure it out But I can't explain Now we see it Now we don't We're floating around In the unknown zone Watch the starlight Shooting for the sky Reaching out to catch A piece of Paradise Is it true Or just imaginations Visions twist around my mind And brings me shelter from the night Where do we go Where do we go from here When do we finally disappear [Chorus]: Oh future world There's nothing left to save They blew it all away Future world Tonight we're riding on The final escape Is it heaven Is it hell Is it the afterworld Or just something else Are we prisoners in Nowhereland Where darkness is your only friend Kept inside this wall of sleep Have we fallen into a deep freeze Left the wastelands Broke the lines Crossed the border to another time Being drawn by the fates Who run our destinies Stranded in a state of life Where dreams become reality Where do we go Where do we go from here When do we finally disappear [Chorus] Oh future world There's nothing left to save They blew it all away Future world Tonight we're riding on The final escape In troubled times We saw the writing on the wall We heard the fools Who brought the human race to fall We'll build another generation And not destroy the God creation [Chorus] Oh future world There's nothing left to save They blew it all away Future world Tonight we're riding on The final escape Take your chances Turn the key Open up the doors To another history Here's no questions No demands Here's the future This is wonderland
