Born from the light - journey into the moment, delivered from thought and sky He will be one, one with the land - Lord of wind and the sea and the sands The one, the bringer of life "All will bear a part of me Let this hollow shell set your free to live as one" Here we are - Children of Sun and Stars the first to know and to understand Living by the Law of the Ages prophets and sages - forging Utopia Great Ptah-Khnemu - sacred priest of the Temple of Ra and the keeper of truth Crystalline spheres, the power of light, grant us keys to the stars and the secrets of flight 'Five shall be as One' "We unlock the mysteries of knowledge and technology" Here we are - Children of Sun and Stars the first to know and to understand Living by the Law of the Ages prophets and sages - forging Utopia 'We shall live forever, and cast out those less divine Gods we will be - rulers of the sea - in our Grand design' Here we are - Children of Sun and Stars The first to know and to understand Living by the Law of the Ages Prophets and sages - forging Utopia Here we are (here we are) –Children of Sun and Stars The first to know and to understand (the first to understand) Living by the Law of the Ages Prophets and sages (prophets and sages) – forging Utopia

Alone I walk, among the twisting shadows Tempted by the ancient magic, the Power of Five My desire to mirror my own image And I will offer you no soul, offer you no soul Tonight Darkness will shadow the Light Symmetry divine, there’s no force greater dividing the Fathers of Time Feel my hate, I’m banished to this wasteland My Serpents plot the overthrow of your temples and shrines In the night, my army’s rage and fury burning My shadow into the land – vengeance by my hand Tonight Darkness will shadow the Light Symmetry divine, there’s no force greater dividing the Fathers of Time Tonight Darkness will shadow the Light Paradise denied – the balance of ages forever lost in time Was I sure of my fateful wish to evoke the night from the day? Thousands now join as one – be afraid, oh What have I done? Clouds are dimming the Sun with his wrath of disease and decay This masque of vengeance leads my death parade What have I done? “My shadow burning – my shadow burns across the land...” Tonight Darkness will shadow the Light Symmetry divine, there’s no force greater dividing the Fathers of Time Tonight Darkness will shadow the Light Paradise denied – the balance of ages forever lost in time

All we know, now has come undone Balance lost between the Moon and Sun Hear out prayers – Keepers of the Skies Divine Upon us all – let your wisdom shine Losing faith as the madness prevails In us all we are searching for a reason, a need to calm the storm In our sails – let your winds be strong Breathe the air around you The oceans fill your veins and winds embrace your heart Feel the change within you The Sun and Moon align The Grand Design awaits a new start From the skies, looking down on you Through the clouds tainted crystal blue “Such advancement, yet lacking the control So unaware of your earthly roles” Praise this child and the words of her rhyme A sacred gift – magic of the Five will bring you tranquility A new order of equality... Five senses come alive Five reasons thrive Five nations unite, unite as one Night and Day will find a way to keep the Balance true Let the Sky and Stars be your guide – the destination is up to you Raise our heads up to the Skies Feel the essence of Time Changing ways like the shifting tides In the waves hear the Rhyme

Mocking the ways of Justice – The Serpent’s Dragon – Vultures ride Storming the Gates of Seven – no mortal man shall break our stride Our flames engulf your good works and our terror reigns supreme Dark beasts that do my bidding by thrashing, tearing down your dreams “Gather ‘round chosen people of the Grand Design Scorn the prophet’s words – ‘the device of our demise’...” Oh... The crumbling earth beneath the weapon’s roar – raining fire from shore to shore Neptune’s might – the storming waves rise to make the Kingdom’s grave All the Atlantis cried (a million souls crying out) Save the child from the Sea (she must carry on) The secrets and technology shrouded deep in mystery (only one will carry on) Carry on...

Endless sands of Alnantees – etched in gold, a city lost in time And from the Sea – a child speaks of things unseen, before the King – a teller of the Rhyme (Five align... hidden in the word a message locked in time) (Find the Key... it draws the final line between what is and what should never be) Gaze in these eyes my child and see – here by my side, you’re destined to be Fears in the night flee with the Sun – if we are One Kingdom of Gold I lay at your feet – ruler of Time and Space you will be Rivers of Truth forever will run – if we are One From the ruins of Atlantis, the Lord of Night rises from the sands He seeks the one – his serpent’s tail and twisted tongue A bringer of War – destroyer of the land (Five align... hidden in the word a message locked in time) (Find the Key... it draws the final line between what is and what should never be) “Raise my minions – from within the deep abyss My disciples – thunder this necropolis” Gaze in these eyes my child and see – here by my side, you’re destined to be Fears in the night chasing the Sun – now we are One Kingdom of Gold now lay at my feet – ruler of Time and Space I will be Rivers of Lies forever will run – now we are One

Now at my feet, the dying voice of Balance Nevermore shall there be a way to fly, a way to fly on wings of Divinity, as words of wisdom fade away The Law of One will fade and die The rising Moon will crush the Sky (So falls the Night, the darkest hour) Seek and find all the secrets left for you (Absence of Light, unbalanced power) Only then will you know, oh... The hidden words – a piece of the puzzle Time will tell what will be Between the lines, the past and future you will find The ones and zeros are the key to unlock what’s sealed The Law of One will fade and die The rising Moon will crush the Sky (So falls the Night, the darkest hour) Justice lost – a travesty we must undo (Absence of Light, unbalanced power) Only then will you know “Awaken all from Set-Amentet – worship all that I represent” (So falls the Night, the darkest hour) Destruction, death and war are in the air (Absence of Light, unbalanced power) Ruling all that we know (So falls the Night, the darkest hour) Unbound – what once was lost – now is found (Absence of Light, unbalanced power) Only then will we... know!

What’s become of the world – the colors unfurl revealing a blackened haze Conditioned to fear the voice that we hear – calling an end of days Millions of souls under control like pawns to a king, led by a string, to the final hour Oh... Empire of the Sea, Lords of technology that fell into the void Oh shall it be (oh shall it be) as it was before – a tragedy on every shore? Is this the end of all we know – innocence lost so long ago Woven in dreams – the darkest of schemes now takes hold of our destiny Decades of greed, plague, famine and war – we can’t go on like this anymore Living like fools – chaos will rule this eternal paradise Death by design, altering birth – trends of the modern age The wisdom of life erased from the Earth – in a reckless rampage Oh... Empire of the Sea, Lords of technology that fell into the void Oh shall it be (oh shall it be) as it was before – a tragedy on every shore? Is this the end of all we know – innocence lost so long ago Woven in dreams – the darkest of schemes now takes hold of our destiny Decades of greed, plague, famine and war – we can’t go on like this anymore Living like fools – chaos will rule this eternal paradise (Dies Irae, Dies Illa, Solvet Saeclum in favilla) (Decades of greed, plague, famine and war – we can’t go on like this anymore) (Living like fools – chaos will rule this eternal paradise) Is this the end of all we know – innocence lost so long ago Woven in dreams – the darkest of schemes now takes hold of our destiny Decades of greed, plague, famine and war – we can’t go on like this anymore Lost in the Night, fading from sight – is this the final setting sun? Oh...

A voice from the past echoes the fate A tale of all things yet to come As it once was, so it shall be again Modern day Children of the Sun Seek the hidden rhyme and there you’ll find a new world order Feel the mystery – so much to see through the eyes of hope The thoughts of Ma’at, forever secured, locked in the Ages Goddess of Truth speaks eternally from the depths of the pages Seek the hidden words as time unfolds You’ll find the answers Feel the mystery – look to the Sea, under Skies of Hope What have we done? Can we right all the wrongs The evils and fears, for thousands of years, that forever drain our vitality? Can this go on without dyer consequence? Our tragic ways, the end of days that shadow the dawn of eternity... He’s taken form in human-likeness And manifests himself in all our darkest dreams Preying upon centuries of weakness Feasting on despair and our own selfish greed Bow down to me (we will never understand) Then take my hand and you will see (we’ll see) You will see paradise (a paradise?) of pain and death Awaiting for you all (we’ll decide the future) Lost evermore the essence of truth Although she tried in vein to bring us peace It will ever rest in our hands We’ve cried a thousand tears for all we had And all the things we could have been We must find our way again, oh Fools who looks for answers in a rhyme, seeking out a lie, an illusion I am the future, the ageless mutation Five beyond the skies align, Zeus to Ra – the final sign My opposition’s drawing near, feeding on his fear, tasting anguish I have the power, the ageless invasion Five beyond the skies align, Zeus to Ra – the final sign From the Messenger on Wings, Peace and War – a line of Kings Again the Titans clash on the edge of this earthen plane Now from the depths they speak, echoing from the waves Oh... from the Waves... Choose the way, five paths there for you to find Turn the page, the question lies between the lines Will me? Will you? Oh... Can we? Can you? Can we change? (Oh...)
