Someone decided Once we collided Our two worlds Should merge and intertwine Winter was breaking Hunger creating Reasons to stop And draw the line Above the treetops rising high New hopes for silencing the cry A stroke of magic Changed the world around us A world this tragic Seemed so superfluous But magic turned the tide enchanted Every aspect of this dying breed Deep in the shadows We strive to compose Dissonant and troubled elegies On how to exploit These new found abilities Mastering ancient recipes Behind the hilltop rising high A flawless army standing by A stroke of magic Changed the world around us A world this tragic Seemed so superfluous But magic turned the tide corrupted Every member of this dying breed A stroke of magic Changed the world around us A world so tragic Came to life again Magic awakens possessive madness It's driving humankind insane

Am I Broken shattered alone In the crowd Am I Lost without the sweet silence of you Cause I Been chasing all the ghosts inside my head Feeling all the pain thought I was dead Better find a way through the tense bitterness Do I stay here Do I stay here Can I break here Can I break here Pushing me against the wall Am I your broken pieces that you want to crawl Just say you want to steal my crown Just say you're gonna let me down Show me - a way to get myself outta this Show me - a reason why to stay in your mess Cause I Been chasing all the ghosts inside my head Feeling all the pain thought I was dead Better find a way through the tense bitterness Do I stay here Do I stay here Lost my way as I'm going down Felt the pain as I'm straying 'round I've been in, when you're out. I've been torn apart No need to run for you

Now the word is out The solution is, no doubt, To crack down on this treason Our long term desire To put out the fire It's finally in the open So it must be handled discretely Or blood may run from our own veins, a bleak destiny Knights in shining armour On a quest for power Taking charge of things you'll never know To raise the name of glory Is bloody mandatory If you want to end this puppet show Knights in shining armour Embittered by the hour Taking charge of things you'll never see But the road is long and torturous Paved with steady progress To bring this villain to his knees Trespass on grounds, But no treasures found On Maycan Islands The hand is hidden well, And no one can tell He's the king of diamonds But when the heads start a-rolling He'll know that the grim reaper's waiting somewhere in the wings "When man is surrounded he will fight to survive" Born and raised Way underground A boy was groomed To be crowned

There's no more rails to lay No more games to play You've found your all time low No more gold will galvanize your dream Or heighten your esteem You're back to where you started off long ago Just waiting here for the unknown to show When the bird of prey took hold of your heart And it ate the centerpiece part by part Every vein froze in icy silence And when the bird of prey was done picking holes In the body that still hosted your soul There's only you and your false pretense Your days of youth have gone You lived the dream for so long And never cared for lives beyond your own No tears were ever shed When the world around you bled You just watered the devastating seeds you'd sown Suddenly perspectives had changed Your mind evolved from set to deranged The bitter taste of your own medicine What a sin

Out of sight, out of mind With nothing left to say Loner in a foreign place A careless runaway My perception of the world Grew different from the rest Something's wrong within the maze As everybody else transgressed No more pretending to be fine No more feeling last in line Always the center of disgrace Always afraid to show my face I was lost in the dream of salvation You held the reins to your own decreation Progressive thoughts always were Dangerous and bold The narrow-minded shook their heads And truths remained untold One day you'll acknowledge what I once tried to prove That this old west community Is nothing more than flesh to you No more pretending to be fine No more disciple of the sun I won't be part of your regime I'm not a victim of mainstream I am lost in the dream of salvation You hold the reins to your own decreation It's out of my reach, it's out of my hands Your whole kingdom stands to fall It's out of my reach, it's out of my hands Your last call

Tell me something that I don't know Torn up pictures of broken walls Show me life after you Is it worth trying to Are we dead as we're going on Do we know where we're coming from Am I out here alone? Loss of breath, on my own Pulling me back once more I know you know that I'm following every move you make But you let me down I can be someone else for you I guess I know it is true Do you? I'm chasing every particle of you I don't wanna fight no more But I can't believe it I'm following your shadow's out the door Calling out your name, but I know I'm easily deceived and alone Show me faces of those I know Lead me into the great unknown You left me out here alone Losing life on my own Loss of breath As I’m torn in two Still I’m hunting The loss of you Am I out here alone Loss of breath on my own Pulling me back once more I know you know that I'm following every move you make But you let me down I can be someone else for you I guess I know it is true Do you? I am the fallen Hear me calling on But I don't believe it no more I am the fallen Hear me calling on... I don't wanna fight no more I'll follow every particle of you!

I sit and wonder I fall apart and cry You're pulling me under Holding me down a while No one is telling me why No one is trying to fight This time I tell you I'm gonna hunt through the night I don't know what we're fighting for Why we try to die so young When we are indestructible in life Tell me Are we changing faces Hiding in our Pleasant places No one is telling me why No one is trying to fight This time I tell you I'm gonna hunt through the night I don't know what we're fighting for Why we try to die so young When we are indestructible

I've seen the world That you long to explore and I know what's behind those walls of admiration The greater display A free life today Be it as it may, if you're gonna jump it could be forever Leave or stay, whatever you choose defines who you are Out on the ledge, testing the ground, awaiting disclosure Close to the edge, soon this plight is over You've been filled with stories Someone else's memories Planted to entertain the filthy rich in Your world, it's not what it seems You're living their dreams Nevertheless, if you're gonna jump it will be forever Time to progress, whatever you choose defines who you are Out on the ledge, imploring for your full independence Close to the edge, ready for transcendence This is your chance, if you're gonna jump it will be forever The fatal dance to show all the world who you really are Out on the ledge, imploring for your full independence Close to the edge, ready for transcendence

Eventually the conversation turned into A fatal supplication, and how, To keep this crash from happening, We had to make decisions Volunteers are needed for what seems to be A lethal expedition Look beyond yourselves In the final hour When the times are rough We must hold together Last chance, now or never In the final hour For the greater good One man or 50 million innocent civilians Clear your mind so you can see what lies behind your juvenile appearance And for once let go of that selfishness When you can make a difference Raise your hand and join Well underway on a suicide mission Your mind is retreating from what's going on Heroic action's replaced by confusion As crucial decisions are made one by one Scared, but determined to stop this machine While the whole world is watching along You'll be decorated for your bravery

Tick tock, the moving hands Tell a tale we understand Ever since the dawn of time We've been working on the perfect crime How long, how long Can we go on, go on It will be the end Thus all we know Will cease And this world's foregone Hired manpowers sent to war Was this really what we came here for? Harvesting forests will save the day Eventually there will be hell to pay Our time is nigh If we keep on passing by Save a breath for one last goodbye How long, how long Can we go on, go on It will be the end Thus all we know Will cease And this world's foregone What to do when the seas are killed By hunger, greed and waste What to do when pollution Fills every mouthful with distaste Sad to see our way of life mirrored And we still pretend That the world we've used and drained Will last until the end We're out of time Stand back and watch it burn So long, so long We can't go on, go on This is the end of all we know It's time, this world's foregone (How long, how long) So long, so long (Can we go on, go on) So wrong, so wrong It will be the end of all we know It's done, this world's foregone (How long, how long) (Can we go on, go on) (It will be the end) (Thus all we know) (Will cease) (This world's foregone)

At 1 a.m., it all began The ripples in time were broken Poetry and alchemy, machinery Enchantments were spoken Through time and space I shall bring my rage They won't see me coming The hammer of god, the chosen one Master of destiny in the times bygone I reflect and collect the black souls of those who deserve no define Burn the seeds of darkness before they become part of the timeline With every breath and every beat of my bountiful heart With a blade forged in rage, like a vengeful ghost I shall strike and discard You have stayed too far This is not your domain Child of the third dimension All things shall remain I'm the guardian of time To allow this is divine treason You mortal fool, weaver of dreams Things happen for a reason Theology, means nothing to me Destiny, is all you can see I care not for your reason How can this be a treason If you say, this is all that we can be Then your rules mean nothing to me Will you do nothing to make things right Then get out of my way, I choose this fight I reflect and collect the black souls of those who deserve no define Burn the seeds of darkness before they become part of the timeline With every breath and every beat of your bountiful heart With a blade forged in rage you shall pay with your own soul if you strike and discard I hear the voices of those who have none The spirit of what could have been I guard the empty realms of the undone The endless wonders that no one's ever seen We shall give them wings to fly I hear the voices of those who have none The spirit of what could have been I guard the empty realms of the undone The endless wonders that no one's ever seen Let us give them wings to fly We are the unity that was meant to be No time for false divinity The masters of our destiny Human and keeper brave enough to see The truth You have strayed too far This is not your domain Child of the third dimension I warn you again So what of all that could have been Repercussions of the unforeseen Who are you to question time Who are you to steal what's mine I reflect and collect the black souls of those who deserve no define Burn the seeds of darkness before they become part of the timeline With every breath and every beat of my bountiful heart With a blade forged in rage, like a vengeful ghost I shall strike and discard Eons come and eons go Ever have I watched the show Tell me mortal, tell me spirit One good reason not to stop it Tell me mortal, one good reason Tell me spirit Hearts are broken, with no remedy Music playing, with no melody Demons dancing - wars are raging Laughter turned to agony Never more! Never more! What more reason do you need Question not a noble deed The keeper, the spirit and the unholy ghost We can change what matters most At the gates of time Understanding was made Watchers of the timeline Changers of fate
