Prologue
introduction
Open Lines
a) appearance
two-headed creature renumbers the masterpiece
it dazzles in frantic absorbing the energy
resistant to all our inventions
an unforeseen birthday surprise
see the sign appear to us
find yourself within yourself now
recent adaptions have centralized masterminds
the audience suffers reflecting the burning lines
remembering all the infections
acquired behind the disguise of hate
see the sign appear to us
find yourself within yourself now
b) remember the colours
we entered a world that no one knows
itīs far beyond the flowers and purple clouds
here we see the colours of reality
and we portray the illusions we are to see
open your eyes and donīt be afraid to see
for you always will remember the colours of reality
and we stare as colours melt and roam
and every flower seems to unfold like a throne
a golden light renews the dream to open lines
merging together the whole miracle unites you and me
open your eyes and donīt be afraid to see
for you always will remember the colours of reality
and we created horizons
horizons of hope of inspiration
we left the way and we changed our lives
revealing a distant aim creating a different path
a path to lead us everywhere
but there we found a lie a lie that would blind us all
would leave us so unhappy would repell us to the stones
and destroy what we created
so we returned once again we rebuilt all the frames
for the light to regain
the illusion remained
c) through ages
he was a master a master of fire
the ages have rendered his name
he was the last the last of his line
waiting for enemies to release the game
he was a seer a seer of blindness
for blindness had surrounded his court
and he looked out out to the north
he hoped for a distant support
feel the misfortune and call out the names of the gods
hold on to your dreams and take care of what you love
donīt get lost
it was late he was cutting the wire
leaving them all by themselves
he was flying flying so high
seeing and reaching himself
feel the misfortune and call out the names of the gods
hold on to your dreams and take care of what you love
donīt get lost
in the arc a bird left the string
creating its sound with its wings
after the flood the arc had caught fire
with a strutting bird captured within
feel the misfortune and call out the names of the gods
hold on to your dreams and take care of what you love
donīt get lost
we live through the memory
tell me a tale of distant times
let those relive through me
she was still faster still faster than any machine
she was a princess a princess in mind
bearing a child to a dream
she didnīt start but she wouldnīt stop
she didnīt change she wouldnīt drop
the child that had taken her name to her fate
running fast but nothing would change
and would help to escape now for it was too late
feel the misfortune and call out the names of the gods
hold on to your dreams and take care of what you love
donīt get lost
we give the memory
wonīt you capture me in your hidden cage
listen wonīt you please listen
listen and set me free
to be an illusion in the stream
in the creation the creation of your dream
d) after the final
see weīre hammered in plastic
no marble used for our memory
no itīs cheap not fantastic
thatīs what weīre gonna be
listen they talk as they pass
they say itīs a shame
a shame that we stayed on Earth
but how how could we be thrown from our place
did we fail did we lie
did we live did we die without hope
for those who are saying
weīve always known how itīs gonna end
be sure that itīs not different in your eyes
in reality nothing is ever the same
for those who are thinking
weīll never know how itīs gonna end
be sure that itīs different in your eyes
but in reality itīs all the same
for you who are saying
why should I care let me live my life
for you who are telling us your lies
you who are hiding behind your disguise
for you who will live in this dream
who live or have lived or somewhere between
be sure that weīll meet again in a different shape
in a distant place again
e) re-appearance
carry me home to where I belong
and show me to those who know where to go
two-folded faces arrange the discovery of all lines
The Sun, part 1
light arrives in never-fading waves
silver sparkle star black in full range
streaming down from centres in the sun
reaching gleaming entering just begun
into fading fields
feel the sun rising high
no-one knows velocity
turn the world into the sky
will we meet will we be free
feel the sun rising high
no-one knows velocity
turn the world into the sky
will we meet will we be free
surely you know that the powers that be
will be lost to your insanity
surely you see that the sun is eclipsed
by a shadow between you and me
yeah
feel the sun rising high
no-one knows velocity
turn the world into the sky
will we meet will we be free
you may hope that a golden light touches the eye
you will find that itīs just a dream passing by
sun sun high
weīll reach the final aim
weīll offer ways that never fail
weīll end the final game
and start once more to sing it again
feel the sun rising high feel the sun
light arrives in full range feel the sun
streaming down just begun feel the sun
sparkle black in the sun feel the sun
Gear-wheels
the ties are open you are not so sure
the lies you have spread turn to you
in memoryīs caves you have raged them to none
a trace will be found in the light yeah
and I see you bleeding with a face that you donīt know
they mesmerize you make you shatter
afterwards they throw you away
they told you if life was a little box
you could put all inside
emotions reactions and plans a place to hide
put all inside your very life
they told you if your box was just the first
the first to reach the shore
weīd open and take you out with all your souvenirs
so take what you get so take what you get
donīt look back take the last step
the gear-wheels keep turning
and they will remind you so soon
lifeīs in the garden and death is in the hall
a little valley will die in the sand
and so will you yeah
open your mind let your knowledge fly free
lose your religion youīll turn into me
open your heart let your feelings fly free
enter the machinery and switch on to the least
it will kill all the angels
and return you to the beast yeah
keep turning you run the machine
keep turning keep turning
youīre lost in between wheels
After The Truth Before
after taking down the envelope he tried to compromise
he stared with frozen eyes into the night
burning questions overtook the fear
he felt the end was coming near
like a tree that had lost all his leaves
and even if his little world will fall apart
he knows the truth is never so hard
remembering days and feelings of the past
he hopes the truth is never so hard
but it is
the kind of show you hesitate
and you remember what youīve wanted
when itīs already too late
to go on like before to open every door
for now itīs closed and itīs cold here outside
and even if his little world will fall apart
he hopes the truth is never so hard
remembering days and feelings of the past
he begs the truth is never so hard
he hates the truth
itīs quite at hand he never felt so bad
he was a man but now heīs far beyond truth
The Sun, part 2
feel the sun rising high
touch the light - community
reach up to the endless sky
in regard of our lives
there are men who need forces
men who wear guns
men who wear uniforms
but unicorns stay here under the sun and
feel the sun rising high
touch the light - community
reach up to the endless sky
in regard of their lives
they will be true
truth is a changeable good
changeable as the moon
history is dull and dark
like the future unknown
but soon will rise forces
soon will rise guns
all crowded with uniforms
will unicorns stay here under the sun
and die
feel
is there still life in the sun
feel
I wanna know
I wanna know
where they all have gone
feel
look at those eruptions
look at those lights
look at them sights
feel
where is it
where is our brightly coloured fantasy
give it back
set it free
Gnihton's Promise
this is the new way
this is the real way
this is your free way out
city looks strange
people in cages
life in a frame made of stone
hiding in spaces
follow any trace
open for promise
you listen to the lies
no one told you
bout the golden dreams
so you believe now for
this is the new way
this is the real way
this is your free way out
growing and growing and
growing and growing
growing fatser and bigger and richer
and more to take into bags
and to build and to drag and
empty minds empty shells
empty hands empty heads
we raise the curtain
here stands a Goldenv
Neon Intelligent Holy Timeless
One-way Neverdie
gnihtoneous lie
say
this is the new way
this is the real way
this is your free way out
nothing
nothing
five six seven
donīt use the new way
itīs not a real way
leave to your own way through
Something In You
tell me you just want to fly
well letīs try then
tell me you want to reveal the answers
first you should ask then and see
something in the moon seems so new to you
anything may fit today if thatīs all you want to say
choose then lose then
round and round until itīs found
up and down until you touch the ground
you wait here and you think youīre safe
want to be nobodyīs slave you are
dreaming of a holy man dying and relive again
letīs try then now
something in the sun seems so new to you
the message is so clear for all to see
canīt you see
you still go
round and round until itīs found
up and down until you touch the ground
this is not your last delay
time in space
this is not your first wrong way
space in time
donīt you think you should return
one embrace
for you already know the answer
end of line
out on the ocean you touch the seasons
deep blue sea waves and water
up on the mountain you touch the heavens
clear blue sky clouds and silence
down in the desert sand dancing in the air
will you find what you came here for
suddenly you grow
suddenly you change
tell me you donīt want to stay
well letīs start then
tell me you have found the answer
you found the question then now
something in your heart seems so new to you
youīve come so far right on your own
now itīs time to carry on
letīs leave then leave now
round and round until itīs found
up and down until you touch the ground
The Four Reasons
a) true sonic lies
into the lie
into the lie will we fly
the more we try to deny
there is a truth in this land
born on the roots of the end
into a scale sounds will merge
they form a tale of the Earth
two sonic lines through all times
divide the verses and rhymes
inside a cage future waits
the present age leaves no trace
inside a hole in the cold
without a hope lies the soul
b) two sides
inside inside inside
many years have come but she still waits
the beauty of the lake begins to fade
reflected in her gloomy eyes a fading memory
she is the keeper of our lies
she
a lady we once used to know
she feels the triumph of the lake
a lady soft like the snow
although her memory seems to fade
a feeling seems to start the love
she feels the growing lies and hate
but there is no hope to change her fate
and the hopeless fate
and outside
should we try to get along today
we ought to buy a little present
for the spring queen
summer dance autumn glance
we can choose the way to go
and the price to pay
a life outside responsibility
is quite amusing and gay
listen to the spring queen
water clear and mountain green
listen to the melody
that tickles in your head
let us sing and dance to the music
to the rhythm of life
we behold the sun as we taste the rain
love me love you love anyone
until youīre on
inside a heart itīs mellow and warm
letīs try again
listen to the spring queen
as beautiful as sheīs never been
donīt care these questions remain
whatīs inside
is it pain
is it pain
is it pain
c) angels
a golden angel has returned to life
to reassure the folks beneath the skies
on a cloud we would be seen that day
in a golden light with fire in our eyes
to burn in the light of return
as the time has retained our resolution
a silver angel has returned to Earth
to heal the sick and raise the dead beyond
now it seems like itīs the day thatīs to come
like we were told so many times before
like they said before
like they said before
like they said before
d) in the post-holy sink
who will survive after all
who will be left when we fall
who was the first in the past
who is the least and the last
light
