Visions of Atlantis
Album • 2007
Your rigid eyes stare into gloom I’m pouring out my grief to you Should I escape? Nothing but silence where I stand Just a slight light at the end to pretend I could escape White walls coming closer and closer Absorb my words without response I am your guide out of the dark At the back of beyond I hear your cries although they’re gone, they are gone Strain to scream my heart to you From my lips no sound escapes Just light from the moon... a twilit cry... Trying to pick the better side Stay in darkness, chase the light Am I wrong, or am I right? Painful sun is touching your face A single ray may recall you to life! I am your guide out of the dark At the back of beyond I hear your cries although they’re gone Through the night, out of the dawn I am by your side, but you are still alone I am your guide out of the dark At the back of beyond I hear your cries although they’re gone Through the night, out of the dawn At the back of beyond I am by your side, but you are still alone

I seek the earth, these timeless tranquil waves That have since turned to dust, an endless phase I carry with me a heavy heart of stone That belongs deep inside the place for which I mourn Beyond love, beyond lust, beyond art This constant yearning beats inside More than my own craving heart This muse of passion stealing my restless soul Senses intoxicated take its toll... Heaven meets Earth with dusk’s dark kiss Taste my love within this chalice It torments the inner artist Devoted reverence for the most beautiful dream Becomes reality out of the faintest gleam Worlds come closer with the touch of your fire Winding into towers of wordless choirs Beyond love, beyond lust, beyond art This constant yearning beats inside More than my own craving heart This muse of passion stealing my restless soul Senses intoxicated take its toll... Heaven meets Earth with dusk’s dark kiss Taste my love within this chalice It torments the inner artist Beyond love, far above! Beyond art, you’re the blood of my heart! Heaven meets Earth with dusk’s dark kiss Taste my love within this chalice It torments the inner artist It torments the inner artist

Trying to tell you what I can't explain, It's a place, an emotion, a lie. The loss in your eyes slowly drives me insane, So upon you I have to rely. I show you truth as it's meant to be, Falling to the bottomless, winding sea. Nothing's as bright as the light At the end of reality, Passing dead end. Feel the absorption of light, Unlocked with the darkest key, Still I don't know, What lies beyond my dream. I've never seen anything shine so bright, Never been to that place before. There is no time and no space left inside, What I fear is what I do adore. Now I am what I failed to see Flying through the bottomless white and see. Nothing's as bright as the light At the end of reality, Passing dead end. Feel the absorption of light, Unlocked with the darkest key, Still I don't know... Nothing's as bright as the light At the end of reality, Passing dead end. Feel the absorption of light, Unlocked with the darkest key, Still I don't know...

I’m sitting here in an empty room I’m writing a poem now to you It’s time to think about what we had And when the sun is going down All my feelings come around I’m so sorry, ‘cause you’re dead If I could tell you all the pain I feel And all the sorrow grows tonight Why did you leave me here alone? Why did you leave me on my own? Was it time we just had borrowed? Was it our destiny or just my final fantasy? And I’m left behind in sorrow, and pain... Smoke and gloom are in the air And your shades are everywhere Now I’ve learned the world called dying I’ll put a rope around my neck And at last I’m looking back To give up life is my defense Do you know another way? Please come back and tell me how to stay And... why did you leave me here alone? Why did you leave me on my own? Was it time we just had borrowed? Was it our destiny or just my final fantasy? And I’m left behind in sorrow, and pain... These final cries I write for you All my pain cries out for you These final tears are shed for you All my pain cries out for you And... why did you leave me here alone? Why did you leave me on my own? Was it time we just had borrowed? Was it our destiny or just my final fantasy? And I’m left behind in sorrow, and pain... Why did you leave me here alone? Why did you leave me on my own? Was it time we just had borrowed? Was it our destiny or just my final fantasy? And I’m left behind in sorrow...

Words in my head infest my mind Things you said, but not defined Every moment on the run Up a second, down next one Your far away reality Dry your tears, don’t blame it on me Inside me there’s nothing left for you Don’t say it’s raining When there’s no cloud in the sky Don’t you see sun reflecting in my eyes? No more pain, no disguise Drive away the serpents in my paradise Never care of what you rake Always praying for your sake See just what you want to see Dry your tears, don’t blame it on me Inside me there’s nothing left for you Don’t say it’s raining When there’s no cloud in the sky Don’t you see in my eyes? Don’t say it’s raining When there’s no cloud in the sky Don’t you see sun reflecting in my eyes? When you’re away To end the torment, which you caused Life dawns in me Life dawns in me Don’t waste your tears, don’t follow me Every moment on the run Up a second, down next one Your far away reality Dry your tears... Don’t say it’s raining When there’s no cloud in the sky Don’t you see in my eyes? Don’t say it’s raining When there’s no cloud in the sky Don’t you see sun reflecting in my eyes?
Blinded by the tears I shed While pricking my soul with needles from out your eyes Can’t imagine it’s too late, I could have seen it coming, now I realize It’s not what it should be Drowning in my memories I’m drowning... I’m living in my darkside My darkside home Light is painting shadows where I used to go, where I used to go My darkside home Paper boats on water carrying all my hope, carrying all my hope What is it you want, what is it you need? Your steps through my door won’t tell me indeed Out in the porch I see the path you take is fading in front of me It’s not what it should be Blurred edges all around me I’m drowning... I’m living in my darkside My darkside home Light is painting shadows where I used to go, where I used to go My darkside home Paper boats on water carrying all my hope, carrying all my hope It’s not what it should be Drowning in my memories It’s not what it should be Drowning in my memories My darkside home Light is painting shadows where I used to go, where I used to go My darkside home Paper boats on water carrying all my hope, carrying all my hope My... dark... side... home!

Glimmer in the night relight the emptiness Too bright to hide my inner mess I take what I deserve I have nothing more to lose This is my rebirth I search for you My heart is pulsating like it never was before I breathe in so deeply Arouse the wick in me Leave my crowded chest, soar up into the air Never come to rest until you find the one who cares Wing-shaped heart, awake wherever you may sleep Hidden in my dreams, lose my tongue and let me scream Roar out my lungs and my soul I’m back to life and I... will never fall again I keep my head up high I take what I deserve I have nothing more to lose This is my rebirth I search for you My heart is pulsating like it never was before. I breathe in so deeply Arouse the wick in me Leave my crowded chest, soar up into the air Never come to rest until you find the one who cares Wing-shaped heart, awake wherever you may sleep Hidden in my dreams, lose my tongue and let me scream Break the silence of my being Out of my chest into the air No time to rest, I am aware Of what to do and how to take An endless ride without a break Leave my crowded chest, soar up into the air Never come to rest until you find the one who cares Leave my crowded chest, soar up into the air Never come to rest until you find the one who cares Wing-shaped heart, awake wherever you may sleep Hidden in my dreams, lose my tongue and let me scream Break the silence of my being

I know not the words to make you stay, Yet they are engraved on your face. This secret language, I cannot speak, Only whisper on the breeze. My breath, these tears, my cries, all curled up inside. Haunting apparitions that are hidden to the dark light of day. Our destiny shall arrive, someday Angel, I will come to you. Our fates shall coincide, one day, dear child, I will come for you. Cruel means took you far away from here, Yet your ghost has inspired me. I shall walk in shadows under the sun, Awaiting your faithful call. My breath, these tears, my cries, all caught up inside. Celestial apparitions that are shaded in the dark light of day. Our destiny shall arrive, someday Angel, I will come to you. Our fates shall coincide, one day, dear child, I will come for you. What once was lost is now found deep inside of your soul Cry out for me and I will return to you. Our destiny shall arrive, someday Angel, I will come to you. Our fates shall coincide, one day, dear child, I will come for you. I return to you...

Don’t confine what is mine, do you hear me? Never break what I take or you’ll feel me I’ll come for you tonight when your eyes are shut The last ride on the wings of your dreams I’ll clip them on your flight And you’ll drown in blackness not able to fight Feeble screams faint with fear Evil beings – time to sear Look through my eyes, what do you see? (Look through my eyes, what do you see?) A heart that dies, a soul is free (A heart that dies, a soul is free) That’s the answer to my plea (That’s the answer to my plea) You’ll pay for what you’ve done to me... Oh... Don’t burn what I built, flames awash in smoke My feelings once enchained by your embrace Never mess what I cleaned You’re always poisoning my mind My memories unrevealed Feeble screams faint with fear Evil beings – time to sear Look through my eyes, what do you see? (Look through my eyes, what do you see?) A heart that dies, a soul is free (A heart that dies, a soul is free) That’s the answer to my plea (That’s the answer to my plea) You’ll pay for what you’ve done to me... Ties lie broken since I died for you Ties lie broken now die for me too Forgotten Forsaken Awoken Dissipated, raging mind I can’t ease the first for freedom from this answer My world is full of disbelief and pain Feeble screams faint with fear Evil beings – time to sear Look through my eyes, what do you see? (Look through my eyes, what do you see?) A heart that dies, a soul is free (A heart that dies, a soul is free) That’s the answer to my plea (That’s the answer to my plea) You’ll pay for what you’ve done to me... (You’ll pay for what you’ve done to me! Yeah!)

I got used to the void inside me Abused by life I’ll fight the emotions used To tear me down, and lose my ground, I call for something, someone else, Something somehow burst my spell. Crests of waves shall carry me Far beyond my mind to see Not yet to fail Try to prevail... Flow this desert Everything grows underneath my feet Wash away the dust that lies beneath Can’t remember when or why I left The desert wipes away my steps On those dreary, dusty paths – my trial I’m freezing in the night, expecting morning light To sear again while waiting for The shiver washes me away And now I’m drifting astray But my way is my destination Not yet to fail Try to prevail... Flow this desert Everything grows underneath my feet Wash away the dust that lies beneath Under full sail to the light Straight horizon, out of sight Wash ashore, what I will leave behind Things I buried in my mind Drifting astray, but my way is my destination Illuminate, horizons gate, my path turns red

I try to reach you through this fog of ancient fear And I’ll return to you one day again, my dear I made this journey over seven seas for you And now I found the place And now, I’ve found the truth This is the last step to my illumination now So long just waiting, searching, hoping and finding the way how On the water in this realm I see your face A revelation’s done, right moment, right place Once in a lifetime your dream is your destiny’s way (your dream is your destiny’s way) And here on the water, this water forever you’ll stay... Dark waters now await my branded soul So much done to reach this deep dark hole... The execution of all gains in my life before Is now, is then, and will be finally forevermore No more waiting, searching, hoping, and finding how As I’ve been told, I will reach your kingdom now Once in a lifetime your dream is your destiny’s way (your dream is your destiny’s way) And here on the water, this water forever you’ll stay... Now I invite you to come to my kingdom with me (to my kingdom with me) No foretelling futures, through the eyes of the world you will see...
