The Closing Chronicles

Surrounded by silence, no one is here with me I am alone, lost and solitaire And I have heard all the stories of heaven But where is the one I should meet? No heartbeat, nor breath, only darkness everywhere Why am I here, I’m lost to this world, when innocence is my only excuse And I saw no light, no replay of life, I felt neither joy or pain I wish to open my eyes and realize I’m not in paradise... Chosen to be in the world of the blind But why torture me with the presence of mind... I want your body dead so that I can be reborn It’s my turn to live now I’ve been here in this place that turns hell into heaven for too long now I will have access to your mind and I will get what I want I still have some memories and an image of who I was I remember the tree and the shadow and her eyes Am I alive or is this a dream, a dream that never ever will end? I don’t want to know... Deep inside of nowhere – trapped in a world that fears the light Deep inside of nowhere – now it feels like I’m fading, now it feels like I’m fading away Suddenly the darkness awakened and it feels like it’s clearing my mind My vision is gone, erasing the one I am Depraved of myself, now it’s taking my thoughts away I feel it’s enclosing me now but I don’t want to go! Deep inside of nowhere – leaving this world that feeds the night Deep inside of nowhere – and it feels like I’m falling, it feels like I’m falling asleep... Waking up from my dreamless sleep It feels like I travel with the speed of light Somehow I feel a glimpse of hope inside But I guess it’s far too early to tell I can’t remember where I am, I can’t remember where I used to be But I can remember what I think right now Am I closing in on heaven or am I closer to hell? Still no light around but I feel what’s lost have been found Deep inside of nowhere – still trapped in a world that fears the light Deep inside of nowhere – I’m lost to a world that feeds the night Deep inside of nowhere – I’m trapped in a world that feeds the night Deep inside of nowhere – maybe I’m returning, maybe I’m returning to life...

No longer a shadow, once again I walk the face of the earth I’m in his body, I’m free to live And now I will make sure that he will see no rebirth He’ll never find the answer He’ll never know the way I’ll never ever forgive him for what he did to me that day... I don’t know how to be in this world, I left so long ago Now I’m back in the shape of another But that is something that no one ever will know I’ll never tell the secret No one would believe it anyway Well nothing’s going to take me away, no I have decided to stay... I see the horizon through the eyes of a stranger, the one that I’m living inside For seventeen years I’ve been held in the darkness My life is no longer denied... I wonder where he is right now Probably trapped in the parallel sky I’ve been there, I have felt all this darkness Though I was reprieved, I was far too young to die I regained the power I was strong, I returned Like a breathing shadow, I will receive what I’ve earned I see the horizon through the eyes of a stranger, the one that I’m living inside For seventeen years I’ve been held in the darkness My life is no longer denied (Even though I pretend I’m someone else) I have finally had my revenge I see the horizon through the eyes of a stranger, the one that I’m living inside For seventeen years I’ve been held in the darkness My life is no longer denied

Suddenly something changed inside as like the darkness turn to light And I saw reflections from the past flashing by like a starfall in the night It feels like I’m turn into someone else It’s like my past life said goodbye Reincarnation of our souls, well now I know it’s not a lie I wonder what I will be or when I’ll arrive The magic moment my body comes alive But who am I to say all this, I may not even remember what I miss I can come to a different part of the earth, maybe to another world, who can tell? I know he is out there pretending he’s me I guess it’s a sight I will never see I still remember a few things from my past But only things in relation to aghast Here in this waiting room for one’s to be I guess there’s nothing more to do Than to realize I might be reborn and the whole of me will be new Oh how I wish I could dream again so I could dream of you... But it took the last of my soul, it took the last of my soul... But I remember you I wonder if she can remember, or maybe the world doesn’t even exist To me it feels like yesterday, but I might have been lost I might have been lost for ages Wishing I could be more human, though I know I still have a soul With a few sad memories, without any sentences structure, I may be lost forever And the darkness turns black again And now the journey will begin Am I moving to another stage, in the process of clearing my thoughts? It seems like my mind is harder to erase I may remember too much from the past The darkness’ no longer carrying me And it feels like I’m back at square one The pressure is driving me insane And maybe there is no sanity left This stage of cleansing is twisting my thoughts I can think no more, and once again I’m falling asleep... Unintelligent life is born, our friend is no longer here He’s replaced, he’s initialized and no one shed a tear He was so eager to live again, but now he’s gone for all time It took the last of his soul It took the last of his soul... It took the last of his soul It took the last of his soul...

It’s morning again I wish all the emptiness would end and my friend would return Though I know that you’re still alive, I’m scared, I’m almost paralyzed Of the emotions that’s growing inside And something is missing And when I take a look around me, it’s like I see you everywhere, anywhere So long, still I wonder why... So long, and my river runs dry... Though I know all the secrets you know, but I don’t know where to go Life must go on, though it is hard not to end it all I wish I had known what you knew I’m blaming myself The shadow is oh, so strong – its power distorted my view And something is missing And when I take a look around me, it’s like I see you everywhere, everywhere So long, still I wonder why... So long, and my river runs dry... Though I know all the secrets you know, but I don’t know where to go And something is missing here And when I take a look around me, it’s like I see you everywhere, everywhere, oh So long, still I wonder why... So long, and my river runs dry... Though I know all the secrets you know, but I don’t know where to go So long, still I wonder why... So long, and my river runs dry... Though I know all the secrets you know, but I don’t know where to go!

Now he’s here inside her ocean sky He’s dreaming again, he’s released from all his fears I’m standing here watching the world through his eyes There’s no reason to leave since I know no time never dies But I can fell the rain upon your cheek ‘Cause you don’t know that I could steal the moon for you You don’t know I’d sing an endless croon for you, oh... It’s strange in here, knowing I’ll have your name I’ll never be me, I’m like art in a stolen frame And I can fell the rain upon your cheek You don’t know that I could steal the moon for you You don’t know I’d sing an endless croon for you And if I would die, would I be reborn like you And start all over again, with a life so fresh and new A combination of love, hate and jealousy I’m stuck in here but you will soon be free You don’t know I could steal the moon for you You don’t know I could steal the moon for you You don’t know I could steal the moon for you You don’t know I’d sing an endless croon for you You don’t know I could steal the moon for you You don’t know I’d sing an endless croon for you I’d steal the moon for you

I woke up with a feeling of emptiness inside Suddenly felt so lonely like a part of me had died, oh... I could sacrifice the knowledge and the powers I possess To relive the moment when my hand caressed your frozen soul Nevermore, never ever, here beside me You and I alone when daylight is falling I’ll never see you again Deafened by the silence, present in this room Waiting for my maker to save me from this gloom, oh... And then I had this sight inside me – I had never seen before And suddenly the one I missed came in through my door... Finally, you’re here beside me, in the darkness Something about you has changed, I don’t seem to know you I see in your eyes you’re not here ...It’s not you... Stricken by illusion, vision in my mind A victim of confusion, all sense is left behind, oh... I felt that deep inside him was still a part of you So I seduced a shadow and what might be you came through into my womb Oh I feel, you’re here inside me, and I will give you shelter now I will always be here I know that I’ve found you again

[The Release] I can feel your heart inside me –you are alive like the wind And soon your soul will be free again I know that I have saved you from the other side It’s like the evil around me’s scared because of my pride All my life I have wished for this moment to come When my body would put a newborn light upon the earth I can feel it inside, I can feel that it’s you And you will never believe that you will been alive before I know your soul is erased, the whole of you is defaced Even though your body’s here it’s not my friend inside... I know that your soul will be alive again I know it will be around like the wind and the rain and the stars And I know that your soul will be alive again I’ll light a candle to remember who you were and who you will be The time has come I can feel the ache inside You have decided to leave the ocean sky tonight No one is here to bring you into this world I’ll try to deny my pain and help you out alone And then the shadow arise, I can see in his eyes He no longer denies the fact that you will be reborn... I feel the pleasure and pain, like my heart is in vain But you finally came and now you are here with me [Shadowland Revisited] I’m lost I have to go He’s my son, but he will never know I will return to the shadows and wait for rebirth as well Life on Earth is so bizarre – I prefer the world beyond Farewell [Breathless] [instrumental]
