No time for morals, no time for goodbyes We leave it all and take to the skies Never forget the mistakes from our past A future lies ahead now at last Through an unknown system, we must dare To reach the world of our dreams Another try, another chance for life In a distant place A distant place Countless souls have been left behind A sacrifice for all mankind Wipe the tears running down your face We leave our sorrows for a distant place No one should choose who’s to live or to die But fate is cruel and our time was nigh The autopilot will guide our ark As cryosleep leaves us in the dark Through an unknown system, we must dare To reach the world of our dreams Another try, another chance for life In a distant place A distant place Countless souls have been left behind A sacrifice for all mankind Wipe the tears running down your face We leave our sorrows for a distant place Countless souls have been left behind A sacrifice for all mankind Wipe the tears running down your face We leave our sorrows Countless souls have been left behind A sacrifice for all mankind Wipe the tears running down your face We leave our sorrows for a distant place

Wind in our sails, we are on our way Onwards to glory and ecstasy With the speed of sound Cutting through waves of fear Full speed ahead, there's no turning back No return Sailing on through times of pain Sailing on against the tide Sailing on through times of pain Sailing on towards the sun No storm can stop us nor slow us down No siren could lead us astray With fire in our hearts, we carry on Come hell or high water Sailing on through times of pain Sailing on against the tide Sailing on through times of pain Sailing on towards the sun No turning back We are on a quest For eternal life And shall we reach The end of the world We'll take it to the other side Sailing on through times of pain Sailing on against the tide Sailing on through times of pain Sailing on towards the sun

När vinternatten lagt sig över världen Och ulvens klagosång har ebbat ut Då förbereder jag mig inför färden Som tar mig härifrån när allt är slut Stjärnorna och månen lyser klart och avger löften om magi Men miraklens tid är över för den man vars hjärta blöder Mina sista ord förvandlas till ett skrik

I hear the echoes as they’re creeping up on me Slowly they evolve into a screaming symphony I try to tame it, bring it under my control But a tidal wave of music crashes down upon my soul Words on the pages escape from my mind And wisdom is leaving me behind Why can’t I seize all these moments in time? To let them go would be my biggest crime to all of mankind The melodic passages, they flee my mind in haste I have to seize them all, can’t let them go to waste Time is not on my side and I don’t feel in control The clock is ticking swiftly as I’m pouring out my soul Words on the pages escape from my mind And wisdom is leaving me behind Black is the night and my mind is a maze Lord of shadows, save me from this place And so the darkness takes its toll A storm of inspiration haunts my soul Still my requiem must find its end before I meet my fate The opus of my nightmare carries on Voices from the past and future Finding flaws in every move Always preaching to the choir Never trying anything new I can’t distinguish my own voice from all the others Screaming poison through my mind I will carry on creating and try to leave this madness behind Pressured by anxiety, I cannot see the answers Scouring through my dreams to find the meaning of it all What is the limit to the sounds of my creations? What makes the children sing before they learn to crawl? Who will play the final melody? Who will write the final symphony? Who will arrange the finale of my dreams? Glorious sacred guardians Faithful mine own soul and divine thy decree Grant me thy harmony and raiseth thy voices Then I shall giveth mine own final masterpiece to all I’m still not finished, barely a single draft No one can see me suffer, they only want my craft My time is running out but the writing must be done The exposition’s over and the coda has begun Notes on the pages are gone from my mind And wisdom has left me behind I ponder the future with one final sigh Could the opus still be finished if I die? And so the darkness takes its toll Storms of inspiration haunt my soul Still my requiem must find its end, even after I’ve found mine Eternal nightmares taking their toll Storms of inspiration haunting my soul If my requiem comes to its end even after my last night This concerto of my nightmares will never die

Here we are Locked within these concrete walls Bound by the rules We’re confined to this hell Trapped in a maze of despair Fighting for freedom I’m breaking the chains Spread your wings and fly away No fear, we will never fall As long as we keep our dreams alive No pain, guided by the light Ever shining within Follow me; you’ll see an enchanted world Where all dreams come true For both me and you Follow me; you’ll see an enchanted world Where our souls are free For eternity My mind holds the key Now we open the door We’re escaping reality No fear, we will never fall As long as we keep our dreams alive No pain, guided by the light Ever shining within Follow me; you’ll see an enchanted world Where all dreams come true For both me and you Follow me; you’ll see an enchanted world Where our souls are free For eternity
