Peril in sight Pray for the light Phantoms in black Mutants attack Bareskin and bone Hunger the hone No apathy For what I see The tunnel in the mountainside Looks like a place to hide Descending into darkness now A chamber deep inside Days of betrayal Automation Screen coming on Ancient machines What does it mean Bio chip here Message of fear Shocking the view Morbid and true A chance to save the human race Chaos we can avoid A mighty power out of place That has to be destroyed Days of betrayal The end of the begining of What is but never really was Now press on and go beyond I could try a million times And cry until the end of time, But it won't change a thing [Restless] [instrumental] [Sanctuary] Don't believe all that you see 'Cause it can never be Truth could be there in disguise So never trust your eyes Wandering aimless through time Wondering what I will find So many years on my own No place I can call home A dome upon the hill - stare What can that building be - sound I hear a melody - look That's my philosophy - wait The truth is for the brave - And it's like a tidal wave now Entities all dressed in white No end in sight Some giants, some little ones Where are they from Packed inside this mega - dome Why have they come Where are all these giants from Why have they come My eyes are playing tricks on me These things I really can't believe They've got thhe heads of human men And the bodies of machines Who are these anroid masterminds And what will all this mean for me Possessing knoledge so incredible I know They speak the truth indeed Can this be a fantasy Mirage of what I want to see A sanctuary can it really be Just follow me - I've got the key So follow me - You will see Just follow me - I've got the key - So follow me You will see - So follow me - I've got the key You will agree - I guarantee - Sanctuary Just follow me - And you will find Safe inside - Out of sight - And out of mind Each of us cell inside All satisfied A body of perfection And we are one Entities dressed in white No end in sight The plase I long to be Sanctuary The giants paid a high price For their artificial life They guard the truths of all mankind you see So intellect can thrive Condemned to be the slaves of time they are They can never touch or feel Things are never what they seem to be Eternity to them is real [Finale] [instrumental]

You dirty bastard I still hear your laughter In my mind You torturing demon Your victoms are screaming At your crimes Like creatures in cages We wait for the slaughter To begin So hungry and thirsty We're all at your mercy Not again We won't bow before you Instead we'll ignore your Oversight You beat us and doubt us You can live without us Parasite Wounded and weak But the truth I speak And I know what it means To be a true believer Bodies piled high Against a blood red sky I'm not afraid to die 'Cause I'm a true believer Late in the night You sneak in out of sight An incubus White pieces of bodies Lay putred and rotting Around us In a prison of doubt But you can't figure out How we indure My minds extremes have been ripped at the seams But I know what it means To be a true believer Bodies piled high Against a blood red sky I'm not afraid to die 'Cause I'm a true believer Living and pain become one in the same You've got ice in your veins I don't believe you I don't believe parasites In the pain of the day Seems you can't get away From your cold stare As the evening begins I find my only friend Is a nightmare Like creatures in cages We wait for the slaughter To begin So hungry and thirsty We're all at your mercy Not again Just faces with no names It's always the same game Endeavor What will you do when We come back to haunt you Forever When your minds extremes Have been ripped at the seams Then you'll know what it means To be a true believer Bodies piled high Against a blood red sky I'm not afraid to die 'Cause I'm a true believer Living and pain become one in the same You've got ice in your veins
