Visions of Atlantis
Album • 2011
I spread false news Never on the way to my perfection I won’t leave this world alone Why do I accelerate? Why do I believe in lies that I have used before? So trust in what I gave to you Follow me and I will follow you Everything’s different since I was alive My tainted soul is now washed clean No need to cry Black river delta will consign me to the sea Riding with strong current into our fate (into our fate) Passengers unable to navigate (navigate) I watch the moon guiding my remains Tiding away Nothing to regret I am long since dead Let the ocean be my permanent site My bed for eternity Why did I take this divergence? Tiding me into the wrong direction? Why am I still caught in this earthly me While the water gets gluey and thick? I am now a part of conscience Greater than anything I knew before Everything’s different since I was alive My tainted soul is now washed clean No need to cry Black river delta will consign me to the sea

To shed all this pain in me This distant reality! Memento is forcing thee to return to a point too dark to flee Tied, addicted to the past Remembrances to cast Not waking from your self-extinction Soaked in acid or in vain No reasons to detain Those twinges just remaining the past Remaining the last goodbye of just time off... But all those memories hurting cane Forever banned a futile gain Below the crown it’s not the same Just a stain... Now betrayals cloud your sight A tunnel with no light Not waken from your self-deception Then just try to face the truth I guess you missed the move When they told you not to read more Not to ask for an answer This shrouded answer But all those memories hurting cane Forever banned a futile gain Below the crown it’s not the same Just a stain... (Tempus hic est ut veritatem dicere) (Tempus hic est ut mendacia finire) (Tempus hic est us animam intendere) (Tempus rationis veridice hic est) Time has come to face the truth Time has come to make the move Time is here to feel the rage Power of the suppressed page And all is said and done And all are gone Follow me, follow me, follow me Into the dark of doom And when night falls you’ll know where you belong Hollow me, hollow me, hollow me ‘Til you reach the loom, oh... (After the dark there’s a light we see) (Towards the dawn of eternity) Don’t dare to fail Or you’ll never prevail (Prevail over lies over jealousy) (Walk in to the light of eternity) Don’t dare to fail Or you’ll never prevail...

Nights before I thought about all the days we made it out But today I face tomorrow Yes there’s bigger fear than before And lonely nights are getting more But there won’t be lies and sorrow Again I have been told to let you go, oh no I am sorry, ‘cause my head won’t so Burn my heart, burn it out ‘Cause without you there’s no doubt That I won’t need all those feelings for a new dawn Take my soul Carry down all those memories to your ground But the water in your eyes, but the water in your eyes says Forever we are bound Blackened times I hoped in pain But all attempts where in vain That you would change your destination No there are no feelings left Little needles bigger shaft In my head just my fixation Again I have been told to let you go, oh no But otherwise my blood would stop to flow Burn my heart, burn it out ‘Cause without you there’s no doubt That I won’t need all those feelings for a new dawn Take my soul Carry down all those memories to your ground But the water in your eyes, but the water in your eyes says Forever we are bound...

Curtains of the world Pulled by the weak Made by the strong Fear is to keep you where you belong You fall apart while they grow strong Regret and despair No longer to care for what you used to live Your dreams are turning into nightmares you can’t control Your minds landscape turned reality Forms and shapes disappear Where daylight fails (oh...) There is no sorrow No hope No life No tomorrow It’s a frozen situation The final score There is no imagination of anything Fight for a life you’ll never ever reach A life like it is on TV Drown your confidence in alcohol To feel strong To feel save To be free Work for the man you’ve never ever seen Pay for what is yours anyway A wheel in the machine of society Reliable Just how you should be Your minds landscape turned reality Forms and shapes disappear Where daylight fails (oh...) There is no sorrow No hope No life No tomorrow It’s a frozen situation The final score There is no imagination of anything Stand up (stand tall) Stand up (stand tall) Cry out (cry out) You will not fall (you will not fall) Believe in you Let your desires come true... Where daylight fails (oh...) There is no sorrow No hope No life No tomorrow It’s a frozen situation The final score There is no imagination of anything A forward-looking revelation Forevermore In a fictional global nation under control... We will be part of it...

Despite... is what I teach Is what I fear Is what I preach War... is what I bring Is what I do I do for you Hate... is what I learned Is what I leave when I return! Crush down all you fear ‘Cause you don’t understand Eliminate the opposite Make enemies and friends your slaves A border is just a line on the cards of the weak A crime is just a crime if you get sentenced for it The world is my audience on screens I dictate Its actors my puppets Slaves of the state Despite... is what I teach Is what I fear Is what I preach War... is what I bring Is what I do I do for you Hate... is what I learned Is what I leave when I return! Crush down all you fear ‘Cause you don’t understand Eliminate the opposite Make enemies and friends your slaves On my own stage I pull the strings I write the tragedy Everybody obeys my will I write the tragedy Nobody wins Sorrow is my profit Finally death is what I sell Hate is my business and I create your hell Do you know who I am? Crush down all you fear ‘Cause you don’t understand Eliminate the opposite Make enemies and friends I am the illusionist Satan and God (Satan and God) The world is my playground And freedom is my... fraud!

Don’t you feel better now?

Would you call me the Lord of the bad world? Would you blame it on me for being hurt? Would it change anything if I said yes? It’s your own life, your own bloody game of chess All the tears through the years, all the sorrow Just dismiss and there won’t be tomorrow But keep in mind only life is for living There is no fate but the fate you will give in When there’s no time for me now Without rhyme or reason how Should I ever keep my vow and not fail? At the crossroads between hate and glory (Reaching pass-fail-point for now) Ruling clear-cut not my kind of story (Reaching pass-fail-point for now) As we die there’s just one way to choose It’s the numen hot the soul you lose To be in charge is my declared intention Fortune no starry-eyed invention If they slow you accelerate In their glare hidden sham and hate To arise from the blank ones – no big thing In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king Recollect only live is for living There’s no fate but the fate you will give in When there’s no time for me now Without rhyme or reason how Should I ever keep my vow and not fail? At the crossroads between hate and glory (Reaching pass-fail-point for now) Ruling clear-cut not my kind of story (Reaching pass-fail-point for now) As we die there’s just one way to choose It’s the numen hot the soul you lose (At the crossroads between) At the crossroads between hate and glory (...Reaching pass-fail-point for now...) Ruling clear-cut not my kind of story (...Reaching pass-fail-point for now...) As we die there’s just one way to choose Now for a little while Now for a little time (There’s no fate no evil) Now and forevermore Then at the raging shore You will be here!

Like waiting for a dawn of... An inner confidence, like ignorance Don’t miss the chance tonight And when occlusion’s drawn up... All the lights won’t stop To put you on the display of this shop The time after rising... From the ashes is so cold Between the world and you the icing And you know you have been told But it’s too late to cancel, points of no return No time to learn until you burn tonight Forecasts of our ration, of the crowd alone And all those acting things you call the tide But when the curtain’s falling... Waiting forlorn for the day Remaining just those memories Afraid they will not stay Stay tonight, never bail and you will prevail Inner sight, former gale, now the storm won’t fail Wasted years, wasted tears bringing back your fears But anything caused everything and now you got the wing Expressions on a window (expressions on a window), would you call it stage (call it stage) Better call it sage to be the hub tonight Whenever it may end up (whenever it may end up), never think to stop (think to stop) Never lead those days out from the light Like leaves over a loom gale We’re carried through the world And after years on this assumed trail You realize the aim would hurt Hurt your heart, take your soul, never find this hole To rise again to fill the air, for you there’s no spare Wasted years, wasted tears bringing back your fears But anything caused everything and now you got the wing...

This track is instrumental.
The long lost link Once drowned in the sea Sentenced forever in darkness to be Searching since I can think Fiction for the most Passion for me No doubt what I have found Forget your obsession (your obsession) It is not worth a thought (it is not worth a thought) Look at your life (look at) and the sorrow it brought A dreamer and a fool, that’s what you are calling me Unreal like a ghost and damned to lethargy Come closer stranger Don’t be scared Come closer stranger There is nothing to care I will make your dream come true And now I gravitate towards fatality Don’t hesitate, I will come for you Something great is inviting me and it forces me to come down There is no light above you anymore... Your only salvation lies deep in the core of your soul... Everything is here for you! And now I gravitate towards fatality It’s never too late for a wish come true It’s the end of my dream and the core of my living A pure sense of love And the goal, for my longing it’s everything but it’s also my end Come closer stranger Don’t be scared Come closer stranger There is nothing to care No chance to return Water is surrounding me I can feel the pressure Part of a secret, part of the sea Now you see the price See what it takes I will make your dream come true And now I gravitate towards fatality Don’t hesitate I will come for you Something great is inviting me and it forces me to come down There is no light above you anymore... Your only salvation lies deep in the core of your soul... Everything is here for you! And now I gravitate towards fatality It’s never too late for a wish come true All the lights are shining just for me and force me to go!
