Something is not right here Is racking my mind It’s all around me, I feel it inside Like I’m locked in some prison And my world is a lie Chills my emotions, blinding in my eyes Let go of your anger, empty your mind Return to your senses, accept what you find You are here for a reason Cut through these lies Lives are in danger, open up your eyes! Reach for the answer – digital rain Take your chances and taste the pain Open up your mind Don’t trust your senses You have been blind – digital rain Awaken the sleeper – digital rain Dig down deeper and break the chain Let the truth flood in Tear down your fences The search begins – digital rain I’ve entered the real world, I know what to do The search is over, the prediction is true Many millions of people exploited like slaves But you can release them from their digital graves Reach for the answer – digital rain Take your chances and taste the pain Open up your mind Don’t trust your senses You have been blind – digital rain Awaken the sleeper – digital rain Dig down deeper and break the chain Let the truth flood in Tear down your fences The search begins – digital rain Reach for the answer – digital rain Take your chances and taste the pain Open up your mind Don’t trust your senses You have been blind – digital rain Awaken the sleeper – digital rain Dig down deeper and break the chain Let the truth flood in Tear down your fences The search begins – digital rain Let go of your anger Empty your mind Return to your senses Accept what you find You are here for a reason Open up your mind Cut through these lies Don’t trust your senses Lives are in danger You have been blind Open up your eyes Digital rain I’ve entered the real world Awaken the sleeper I know what to do Digital rain The search is over Dig down deeper The prediction is true And break the chain Many millions of people Let the truth flood in Exploited like slaves Tear down your fences Can release them The search begins From their digital graves Digital rain!

[Damian Wilson:] Mother Earth couldn’t take no more Sucked dry by humanity In the end she lost a fight She was never going to win We set out for distant shores Far across our galaxy We’re taking flight into the night to the planets on the rim A fire in the darkness (Far away from the Earth that was) A quest for freedom in the “Verse” Seeking refuge from the earth A fire in the darkness (A bright light on the edge of space) A desperate need to find our place In the emptiness of space, oh... I’ve seen the fire, oh... Out here on the fringe of space The outskirts of society We’re suffering the aftermath of a cataclysmic war Cast out by the human race Nine outlaw pioneers Making life in the outer worlds Running from the law A fire in the darkness (Far away from the Earth that was) A quest for freedom in the “Verse” Seeking refuge from the earth A fire in the darkness (A bright light on the edge of space) A desperate need to find our place In the emptiness of space I see a fire in the darkness A ray of hope in a black forbidding night I see a fire in the darkness A spark of life in a cold and empty sky A fire in the darkness (Far away from the Earth that was) A quest for freedom in the “Verse” Seeking refuge from the earth A fire in the darkness (A bright light on the edge of space) A desperate need to find our place In the emptiness of space A fire in the darkness (Far away from the Earth that was) A quest for freedom in the “Verse” Seeking refuge from the earth... A fire in the darkness (A bright light on the edge of space) A desperate need to find our place In the emptiness of space

Prowling ‘round the city slums, hungry for distraction Lashings of violence fire me up inside A dose of nasty, some “social interaction’ Cry out, have a laugh, never, ever holding back Ripping through the countryside, dying for some danger The sound of symphonies sends shivers up my spine Beat up some loser, harass some random stranger Fly high, feel no pain, I’m singing, singing in the rain You’re just a child who’s lost his way A wandering soul led astray But we all know what’s right for you! You’re just a child consumed by rage A victim of a modern age... You’re just a child who had no choice A mindless pawn without a voice But we all know what’s right for you! A restless mind trapped in this cage A victim of a modern age I am not an evil man, I swear to you, my brothers I’ve learned my lesson now, I have changed my ways I was merely blinded by the treachery of others Hell yeah, now I’m sure, I survived, I am cured! You’re just a child who’s lost his way A wandering soul led astray But we all know what’s right for you! You’re just a child consumed by rage A victim of a modern age... You’re just a child who had no choice A mindless pawn without a voice But we all know what’s right for you! A restless mind trapped in this cage A victim of a modern age Violence makes violence Makes violence Makes violence Makes violence Makes violence Makes (violence) (Makes violence) You’re just a child who’s lost his way A wandering soul led astray But we all know what’s right for you! You’re just a child consumed by rage A victim of a modern age... You’re just a child who had no choice A mindless pawn without a voice But we all know what’s right for you! A restless mind trapped in this cage A victim of a modern age Oh... oh... No, I am not an evil man I swear to you my brothers I’m still singing in the rain And I’m singing in the rain I’m still singing in the rain I’m still singing in the rain And I’m singing in the rain And I’m singing in the rain

A crime-ridden city Confined within these walls A place without pity, a place of sin... No rules apply here Among this desperate crowd Once you go in you are never coming out You’ve got 24 hours to change the course of history Just 24 hours, your time is running out! You’ve got 24 hours to trace our man and set him free Our very last chance Our fate is in your hands! You’re trapped on this island Your life ticking away This hotbed of violence could be your grave... You’re on your own here No one to save your skin You better give up ‘Cause there is no way you can win! You’ve got 24 hours to change the course of history Just 24 hours, your time is running out! You’ve got 24 hours to trace our man and set him free It’s our very last chance Our fate is in your hands! Too many died for an empty cause Too many died all in vain Too many died for your senseless laws Count me out, I will never be a part of this game Too many died for an empty cause Too many died all in vain Too many died for your senseless laws Count me out, I will never be a part of this game A crime-ridden city Confined within these walls A place without pity, a place of sin... No rules apply here Among this desperate crowd Once you go in you are never coming out You’ve got 24 hours to change the course of history Just 24 hours, your time is running out! You’ve got 24 hours to trace our man and set him free It’s our very last chance Our fate is in your hands! Too many died for an empty cause Too many died all in vain Too many died for your senseless laws Count me out, I will never be a part of this game

Time stopped that morning, the world started shaking It struck without warning, a blinding flare of light Now the sun is fading, the moon is but a shadow The land is changing to a cold and barren waste Try to remember her smile framed by sunlight Never forget her, the gift she gave to us Somehow I failed her, she could not face this future I could not save her from this dark and desperate life As the crow flies As the child softly cries The final trial of man As the crow dies As the ashes cloud the skies Will it ever fly again? I'm here to lead you on this road to your salvation I'm here to shield you from the horrors of this world You know I'm dying, I won't be there to guide you Don't lose that fire glowing deep inside

[Rodney Blaze:] You are deranged, you don't exist Reality's all in your mind Give it up, you'll never resist You'll confess, then you die We are the law, we control your pain Telling you how to behave We are the voice inside your brain You're nothing but a lifeless slave [Dan Swanö:] Black is white and white is black The fact's a lie and the lie's a fact You are the dead and the dead are alive Two plus two equals five [Rodney Blaze:] You are alone, you cannot hide We see every move that you make You are the last, your dreams have died Even your past is a fake We are the cure, we'll make you sane And purge every sin from your life Break you down, erase your name Not even your shadow survives Peace means war, rich means poor and perfect flawed Less means more, five means four and hate adore Love means law, true means false and break restore Dusk means dawn, here means gone, unbend deform Die means born, admire means scorn, to know ignore Won means lost, calm means storm, forget recall Stand means fall, run means crawl, attack withdraw Weak means strong, right means wrong, diverge conform

[Arjen Lucassen] No cold or hunger No need to suffer But you're just a number In a human shell Your every desire And all you require Still you grow tired Of this earthly hell A perfect balance in what seems a perfect home A shadow looms over this crystal dome The death of freedom is too high a price to pay Enjoy your last day You live for the moment (Carousel's a lie) Your time is stolen (everybody dies) The system is broken (now you realize) There's no way out (dystopian utopia on Earth) A perfect balance in what seems a perfect life A shadow looms over this paradise The death of freedom is too high a price to pay Enjoy your last day

[Tony Martin:] I was born with no future Born to die without a chance Well, I refuse to play the hand that life has dealt I'm as good as anyone, maybe better than most All they see is imperfections, not the strength I hold inside I challenge all who reject the force of will Cause If I'm not good enough, if I'm not real enough Then I will lie! I am a child of the stars And you can't keep me here in a world I don't belong I need to fly among the stars We are all children of the stars Don't feel I'm leaving, no, I feel I'm going home I'm one step closer to the stars They say I don't have a future It wasn't mine from the start I don't believe that man can live without fault I'm as good as anyone, much better than them I accept my imperfections, at least I have a perfect soul I am the last to be born with free will I've been luckier than most, not as lucky as some But I will survive! Oh, children of the stars, gotta fly, gotta fly Feels like going home, I'm going home If they take away my future, and deny me any chance My imperfection is the demon here inside I'm badder than anyone, more evil than them...

[Damian Wilson:] Just a step cried the sad man Take a look down at the madman Hear the king's son Silver wings fly beyond reason From the plight of the seagull [Damian Wilson and Arjen Lucassen:] Come the spread claws of the eagle [Damian Wilson:] Only fear breaks the silence As we all kneel pray for guidance [Damian Wilson:] Thread the rope cross the abyss Take a look down at the madness On the streets of the city Only specters still have pity Patient queues for the gallows [Damian Wilson and Arjen Lucassen:] Sing the praises of the hallowed [Damian Wilson:] Our machines feed the furnace If they take us they will burn us [Floor Jansen:] Will you still know who you are When you come to who you are? [Russell Allen:] When the flames have their season Will you hold to your reason? Loaded down with your talents Can you still keep your balance? Can you live on a knife-edge?
