As Time Turns to Dust

Monde en colère, armées en guerre Dañs le sang et dans la poussière Seule sur la grève tu marches en rêve Baignée de larmes, larmes amères Où est ton père? Tombé sans haine. Colère et folie Armour of Dust Protect me from the madness of warriors Give me the strength to stand In this world of folly and of tears Armour of Dust so strong and so weak Where is the rose you promised me yesterday? Where are the knights to kneel before their princess and pray? Where the horses The Kings horses and Kings men pride? Where are the heroes To save the little girl from the fire? O Dad I feel so alone in the night O I wish I could have you by my side All that remains of you in my mind Are the fairy tales we used to read together before the night Armour of Dust Protect me from the madness of warriors Give me the strength to stand In this world of folly and of tears Armour of Dust so strong and so wear Where is the wand you promised me yesterday? Where are the fairies To lean over the cradles and pray? Where are the butterflies With their pretty colours in the light? Where is the dragon To save the little girl from the mad? Armour of Dust Protect me from the madness of warriors Give me the strength to stand In this world of folly and of tears Armour of Dust so strong and so weak How could you justify The rapes the killings and the crimes How could we let the mad Become the leaders of the flock of lambs I feel just like a doll in the devil's hands Surrounded by atrocities and pain There is no magic anymore since you left Only fading memories of your tales Armour of Dust Protect me from the madness of warriors Give me the strength to stand In this world of folly and of tears Armour of Dust so strong and so weak

Armageddon Apocalypse upon us We live and we die Hoping for salvation We crawl and we fight Blood on our hands But what is the purpose of it all? What cause are we supposed to defend? Wealth of the few who are feeding on the blood of your child? Power of the preachers spreading all their lies? Money is their only grail their only god The day the stars fell down The day the moon turned into blood Our hope turned into eternal night Ashes and blood are raining on us now Too late to beg forgiveness for our crimes Armageddon We run and we hide Frightened by the shadows We weep and we cry Shredded by the night Still bound to our flesh of mortal men All damned of the Garden of Eden What sin could justify the disgrace and the divine wrath of God? What crime was perpetrated by our kind? What fault is our burden till the end of time? The day the stars fell down The day the light changed into dark Our hope turned into eternal night Ashes and blood are raining on us now Too late to beg forgiveness for our crimes The day the stars will fall down This day the mountains will cry Blood rivers will flow from their eyes And darkness will devour the light Too late to beg forgiveness for our crimes But until then don’t let hope vanish in the wind The day the stars fell down The day the light changed into dark Our hope turned into eternal night We have to face the sentence for our crimes The Judgment day has come upon our lives Armageddon Face the sentence for our crimes Armageddon Judgment day has come upon us Armageddon Face the prosecutors of Hell Armageddon The executioners are none but ourselves

Anges, dépouillés de vos ailes, condamnés à ramper Loin des nuages loin des étoiles loind du ciel Oubliez les promesses de vos dieux infidèles La liberté n'est quà quelques pensées de vos ailes Déploeyz les sans peur irréelles en vos cœurs Elles valent bien mieux que leus promesses Homme, envolve toi vers le ciel bien plus haut que les statues Des dieux figés de marbre et les cathédrales de pierre There's a crossroad right in front of you And paths that you can't see the end This time the hour of choice won't be delayed Too late to fathom mysteries of life and death Freedom seldom seems to be the easy way Can't pretend there is not a price to pay While chaos has arisen plunging all your world into the dark Where the love we were supposed to be made of We were doomed by the hand of god Destined to succumb to His temptations Punished for trying to take His hand Forbidden, the questions burning your lips Forgotten, the evil rising in his name Enslaved by rhetoric of all his priests Now it's time to reject all the chains Just fly away, spread out the wings of your heart Don't be afraid, that soul of yours was made to fly Just fly away, and feel the wind in your feathers Don't be afraid, freedom is just a few thoughts away Hommes perdus dans la poussière Condamnés à errer Sans fin dans l'ignorance La souffrance et la peine Oubliez les prières Les cantiques et l'enfer La liberté ne se gagne jamais Dans la haine Jusquoù te guideront Tes anges et tes diables? Délivre-toi enfin des thes chaines Homme, envolve toi vers le ciel Bien plus hait que les statues Des dieux figés de marbre Et lest cathédrales de pierre Did you really think it was the truth They were trying to explain? Did you really think it was about God About the creation, about heaven or hell? Did you think you ever could pretend You couldn't hear their chants and lullabies? Echoing in your heart Their greed for power is their only guide Gods are only puppets in the hands of men Dancing to the beat of their war drums Feeding on your weakness and on your soul Stirring up the fear of the unknown Open up the eyes of your mind Leave the comfort of their lies behind Free yourself from the leash around your neck Now it's time for you to break their spell Just fly away, spread out the wings of your heart Don't be afraid, that soul of yours was made to fly Just fly away, and feel the wind in your feathers Don't be afraid, freedom is just a few thoughts away

I am crying alone in the dark with a book in my hand But I cannot read the words, I cannot stand the pain My tears have flown down the ancient pages blurring all the lines Erasing the memories no matter how good or how sad Words and lines intertwine distorting time Opening old scars that I thought were buried in my heart Words are weapons of the mind Sharper than kinves O please stop I am begging you Please stop tearing my heart apart O I want to turn the page And find the words that will heal my soul I want to hide away Erasing the wholes story of my life I am weeping all alone Curled up on the ground And I am covering all the writing from your hand Sotthing my soul Purifying me as I am diving into dark I have lost my faith in legends and fairy tales I have been beaten by hands of ice I've been burnt by the fire Words are hurting me tonight Like a dagger in my heart O please stop I begging you Please stop trying to kill me tonight O I want to turn the page And find the words that will heal my soul I want to hide away Erasing the whole story of my life On n'efface pas l'écrit On ne remonte pas pas les temps Oublie tes regrets Oublie les larmes versées Oublie tes remords passés Il te faut maintenant tourner la page Et écribe l'avenir Tour les pages Saignent les cœurs blessés Tournent les pages Grondent les tempêtes Larmes, cris, rage, défaites Perus, haine, colère, sang Lettres, mots, phrases, silences Plaies, coups, belssures, souffrances Oublie tes larmes Oublie les peurs Tourne la page O tonight I'll turn the page And find the words That will heal my soul I'll never hide away I am starting a new chapter of my life And tomorrow on the page I will wirte words to heal my soul They will never fade I will stand and win my inner war

We see the light and then we fall On this road we were left all alone With no goal We were raosed tp follow Their holy rules We only desire what we don't need Prisoners of theses intangible laws We walk or we die Left scarred, helpless and blind It's time to step aside from the road It's time to decide for ourselves It's time to explore the world around And fight our own way out of hell Oh follow your heart Don't let yourself be haunted By your fears Don't let your wings Be broken by their lies Don't let them close your eyes And reach out to the light We try to speak but hear no sound We try to read each other's lipes But there's no light We try to understand The meaning of our lives We fail to act paralysed by our fear To make a way Out of our familiar ground Afraid of the unknown Afraid to dive into the dark It's time to fight procrastination It's time to take charge of our fate It's time to finally renew the hope That was forgotten in our hearts O follow your heart Don't let yourself be haunted By your fears Don't let your wings Be broken by their lies Don't let them close your eyes And reach out to the light It's time to find your life a purpose It's time to break all your chains It's time to fight the hate of mankind With all your soul and all your mind

This night seems to last forever The void fills my soul Where nothing remains But chaos and pain My feet are leading me nowhere I'm lost in this maze I have no past, no future in sight Why did they fade away from me O Angel of Tears Oh tell me what I am supposed to do Now my fate is in your hands? O Angel of Fears I am just a runaway girl Will you ever take the pounding pain That's beating in my heart And killing my soul Away? Wrong skin co9lour, wrong religion Wrong History, wrong culture There is no place for me In your world There's nowhere I can call my home O Angel of Tears Oh tell me what I am supposed to do Now my fate is in your hands? O Angel of Fears I am just a runaway girl Will you ever take the pounding pain That's beating in my heart And killing my soul Away? I wander in the dark of the night I desperately need to survive For my baby growing inside i'll give him the love I was denied O Angel of Tears Oh tell me what I am supposed to do Now my fate is in your hands? O Angel of Fears I am just a runaway girl Will you ever take the pounding pain That's beating in my heart And killing my soul

Free yourself from the yoke From the chains and the tyranny Of tradition and religion Running through the temples Howling 'I don't believe in God' Climbing into the spires Ringing the bells Of all your foolish lies Laughing at all the signs So childish before my eyes Dancing with shackles of the past We will never give up Never believe in your lies Stop thinking they will ever rule my life Stupid traditions, obscure rules Hiding the weakness of the fools I'm not afraid of you, I don't belong to you Open your ears and your eyes Can't your hears the wails and cries Of girls dying beaten at the hands Of their own fathers Throw off the chains and the veils Throw off the yoke of those men It's time to raise our heads and fight We will never give up Never believe in your lies Stop thinking they will ever rule my life Stupid traditions, obscure rules Hiding the weakness of the fools I'm not afraid of you I don't belong to you Breaking free, as a bird And I don't fear your foolish laws I'll refuse 'till the end of time I'm not alone, we are legion We stand up and fight We will never give up Never believe in your lies Stop thinking they will ever rule my life Stupid traditions, obscure rules Hiding the weakness of the fools I'm not afraid of you I don't belong to you Breaking free, as a bird And I don't fear your foolish laws I'll refuse till the end of time I'm not alone, we are legion We stand up and fight

Look at the mistchild Born in a world he can't understand Look into his eyes Behold the wisdom of human kind Afraid of your smile Images are flooding his mind Afraid of his memories Of chaos, violence and cries Look at the mistchild How fragile is his own existence Look at his face Despair and misery without a name Innocence, when did we leave you behind? I can still see your light Drift away like a dream We forgot the very moment we woke up To a world of utter madness And lies and tears In the realm of the heartless And treacherous kings In the realm of the self-centered Masters of greed In the realm of the vultures And slayer of dreams Look at the mistchild At your own reflection in his eyes Look at the light He radiates all around Afraid of the darkness And of the shadow he can see behind you Afraid of the future He's desperately clinging to you Innocence, when did we leave you behind? I can still see your light Drift away like a dream We forgot the very moment we woke up To a world of utter madness And lies and tears In the realm of the heartless And treacherous kings In the realm of the self-centered Masters of greed In the realm of the vultures And slayer of dreams

Memento homo quia Pulvis es et in pulverem reverteris When the night is falling down on the souls Of men fighting for their rights And there are innocent children enslaved By the mad But still remain ludicrous temples and statues Remnants of ancient folly and pain And their religions as hard as the stone In their shrines But men forgot that even stones Will turn to sand (in the end) And men forgot that their beliefs Will vanish like dust (in the wind) But still they believe there's a god to listen To our prayers and our tears Dust we are, as dust we fall Slaves to the will of the capricious winds Duste we are, as dust we fall Sooner or later we're cast away When the fools think they detain the truth And cast anathemas to each other Waging their wars in the name of the love They denied LOok at their crosses and crescents and stars Childish symbols of faith and of pride Covering the walls of our homes and our hearts Deaf and blind But in the end nothing will remain Of us nor them (in this earth) Nature will take it all, the stars Will follow their path (ignoring us) Our flesh and our bones, our pride and our plots Will vanish in the wind Dust we are, as dust we fall Slaves to the will of the capricious winds Duste we are, as dust we fall Sooner or later we lose the game Dust we are, as dust we fall Slaves to the will of the capricious winds Duste we are, as dust we fall Sooner or later we'll fly away
