Twilight in Olympus
It's all perpetual dreams, this hidden life ain't what it seems Walking dead we are Victims of misfortune and lies, and tortured bringers of demise Circling above like vultures They reap the harvest that we sew and take, like trusting fools Promising charade All days now disappear from weeks to months, from months to years Forever bound, shackled to the wall The night falls, I've seen 1000 moons rising in the sky The night calls, I feel the midnight as it slowly cloaks my eyes Touched by the kiss of the sunrise Live with shadows and fears--behind smoke and mirrors Try to turn back the years--living inside smoke and mirrors Sacred and serpentine, a hypnotizing twisted theme Weaves our souls to roar Like candles in the wind, our echoed cries above the din Fade into this faceless sculpture In the wheel of chance and fate, spinning as we watch and wait A mystery to us all On the edge of sanity, we tread the seas of destiny Forever bound, silent voices call The night falls, I've seen 1000 moons rising in the sky The night calls, I feel the midnight as it slowly cloaks my eyes Touched by the kiss of the sunrise Live with shadows and fears--behind smoke and mirrors Try to turn back the years--living inside smoke and mirrors Live with shadows and fears--behind smoke and mirrors Try to turn back the years--living inside smoke and mirrors Ohh.....the night calls

Bow down in the platinum maze Twilight cathedrals spread the system plague Forging sacred thrones in the void unseen Merciless judgement in the church of the machine I'm the master, looking down from the edge of space and time Flesh and steel intertwined I am the future, sacrifice your soul and succumb to me Nailed to your faith, you'll believe Scream-and no one hears my pleas Faceless masses falling to their knees Bow down in the platinum maze Twilight cathedrals spread the system plague Forging sacred thrones in the void unseen Merciless judgement in the church of the machine Pyramids in the sky, playing out their cosmic games Rulers of us all, forever cursed we live in pain Cursed-we live in pain... The creator, 'Neath the darkened sun, my empires rise Artificially devised The destroyer, fierce intentions flow from a virtual rage Forever lost and enslaved Total mesh of soul and steel Life-force force under my command Twisted baptism of fire Between machine and man Scream-and no one hears my pleas Faceless masses falling to their knees Bow down in the platinum maze Twilight cathedrals spread the system plague Forging sacred thrones in the void unseen Merciless judgement in the church of the machine Bow down in the platinum maze Twilight cathedrals spread the system plague Forging sacred thrones in the void unseen Merciless judgement in the church of the machine

This track is instrumental.
Placid skies, through crystal gazing eyes Slaves to our desire, in a ring of smoke and fire The dungeons call, two faces on the wall Candles light the way, for a moonlight serenade Through the nights and days, we will find a way A way to carry on what we believe An empty door, ashes on the floor Hypnotic array of lights, dragons calling throughout the night Omen in black, chained down to the rack The end never in sight, soaring through an endless plight Through the nights and days, we will find a way Silence fills the shrine, giving us the sign Forever lost, forever in the dragon's den Born with second sight, essence burning bright Forever lost, forever in the dragon's den Silence fills the shrine, giving us the sign Forever lost, forever in the dragon's den Born with second sight, essence burning bright Forever lost, forever in the dragon's den

Part I Look to the other side, reach the undefined Curious to what she doesn't know Step through the empty air, reveal what wasn't there A fantasy-her looking glass world Is it as it seems? Or just a dream within a dream (dream within, dream within a dream) Like she's been here before, locked behind the door Held within the grasp of mystic hands Everything's so strange, the same but rearranged Through a bird's eye view-Can it all be true? The final answer she seeks, with the three to be crowned Queen Essence of rule divides the land-YEAH! Dark shape, above in the sky, captures her prismatic eye Again she walks in wonder, With no, with no tearful good-byes Part II Alice...Alice...Run Alice...Run And there she stood, in misery Searching for the final ring within A dream, (dream within a dream) Dream within a dream "I'm not afraid..." Part III Scepter in hand-all the numbers so deceiving The small dreaming child who wears the crown Watches the pieces falling down Like knights in the game-her next move is so unsure 'Waken the Queen of Nevermore Hidden behind the royal doors White on her right, Red on her left Talking in riddles, on ears fallen deaf "Stop with all the lies", all the questions so confusing Answer the riddles they deny, losing hope, the child cries Dream on... Do you believe...all the things that you're seeing are true? The start's where the end's leading you Do you believe...all's as twisted as one would perceive? Seek the answers...and soon you'll believe The royal child, in a rage of desperate fury Shattering all that lies before, screaming dolls fall to the floor Now remove the masque, that's obscuring this dimension Illusions so clear to me now, her invention is unwound Escape the dream- like an unwritten book There at my feet-lies the knight, the queen and the rook Dream on... Do you believe...all the things that you're seeing are true? The start's where the end's leading you Do you believe...all's as twisted as one would perceive? Seek the answers...and soon you'll believe Dream on... Do you believe...all the things that you're seeing are true? The start's where the end's leading you Do you believe...all's as twisted as one would perceive? Seek the answers...and soon you'll believe

Silver cross in ancient halls, deep inside the castle walls Bound to sleep, forever locked in chains Evil carved into the stone, ancient words they've never known A serpent's silent shroud still remains Come with me and I'll make all your wishes come true Lifting the chains of oppression from you Wiping away the lines carved in your face Take the Relic from this place... Carry on, into the horizon, wielding courage, staff in hand Journey on, through shadows and dreams, and what lies beyond the guardian's keep Prey and siege in voiceless woe, who's dust was scattered long ago Awaken from this dark and endless sleep Man's desires-now mortal wounds, believing tales and shallow truths Hardened hearts now tremble in the keep Trust in me and I'll lay all your nightmares to waste Take the Relic from this place Carry on, into the horizon, wielding courage, staff in hand Journey on, through shadows and dreams, and what lies beyond the guardian's keep

Child of the oceans I am, walking on the waves Stirring the pools, I silence and calm the tides to a glaze Touched by a vision of love, her beauty recognized Elusive to me, progressions are now violence in disguise On a quest for light, and braving the seas Chasing the morning star, wait for me... Now I'm blinded, this vision I cannot see I cannot see my future destiny Ohh...the hunter looks at you with eyes to kill Praying for your life-the mighty rage against the still For whom the God's destroy, they first make mad Receiving the sun, and falling like hourglass sand Child of the sea I am, in starlight I reside Glow silver and white, eternal and bright in the sky On a quest for light, and braving the seas Chasing the morning star, wait for me... Now I'm blinded, this vision I cannot see I cannot see my future destiny Ohh...the hunter looks at you with eyes to kill Praying for your life-the mighty rage against the still Ohh...the hunter looks at you with eyes to kill Praying for your life-the mighty rage against the still Ohh...the hunter Ohh...the hunter Ohh...the hunter I'm the hunter

Garden of ice, ivory trees dimly glow Maiden in white, led by lanterns of stone Captured-by the light of moon Diamonds and Jade-dressed in ashen blue From the North, a mistress dressed in silvery blaze The feel of her kiss steals my breath away In the night, shadows dance through lucid doors With a pale and frigid gaze Lady of the snow, calling me Her silhouette awaits in the cold A kiss of stone, tempting me Radiant lady in white, Maiden of the Snow A winter's stare through veils that still my sight In the night...she calls Bound by this passion, I'm begging you please let me go There is no escaping the feeling, I can't fight anymore My desire echoes from a tale of ancient lore As before, mystery fills my eyes Beauty and bliss, I feel the hands that hold me now I surrender myself to the night Lady of the snow, calling me Her silhouette awaits in the cold A kiss of stone, tempting me Radiant lady in white, Maiden of the Snow A winter's stare through veils that still my sight In the night...she calls Lady of the snow, holding me Her silhouette awaits in the cold I can't fight anymore
