1. The Cure

Before the night is over, you'll be initiated too.
You are elected for the world, you must be prepared when the time will come
Listen to the prophecy now
You're given from the great old ones
The music in your hands is a bastion
Why me? Tell me, out there.
Isn't it deceit, man? Pay the price.
Believe me, I'm too weak.
You've got inner strength, man. Ability's your might
Deceive me! Take my doubts away.
You've got no choice, man. It's the only way!
What should I think of this?
'cause much too many have failed this way
Maybe it's just another paralogism
and my mind fools me now
I listen to the prophecy now
that I'm given from the great old ones
The music in my hands could be a bastion
Why me? Tell me, out there.
Isn't it deceit, man? Pay the price.
Believe me, I'm too weak.
You've got inner strength, man. Ability's your might
Deceive me! Take my doubts away.
You've got no choice, man. It's the only way!
Listen to the prophecy!

2. Shades Of Doom

When you'll come back home again
Weary from the fight
I will nurse your wounds and I'll
release you from your weights
You must be hungry and
There's blood upon your hands
So please come in and I will cure your fever
Why don't you rest your head
You long for warmth I bet
You needn't worry of a thing when I'm near
(He's the cure)
I'm the cure
I'm the cure
What can just light up your heart
When you're in the dark
What just makes privation worth
What's dearer to a man
To see this face again
To touch this body and
To feel the blood pulsating in your veins
Your hunger will be fed
For every tear you've shed
You'll get the threefold pay in just one long night
(He's the cure)
I'm the cure
I'm the cure

3. Sphere Eclipse

All alone, I feel cold inside
Loneliness, I'm the only one to know
I am one with my armchair
All night I'm playing for you
Though I know you won't thank me
What else is left now to do?
It is here (I will defend you)
Near and nearer (fight it back)
One foot in the grave, I've seen this all before
Memories, memories of tomorrow
One foot in the grave, I've seen this all before
Dear me, memories of tomorrow
Once I was dead, I know I'll be
I've diffracted it all on myself
Oh, can't this chalice pass by me
Why can't it be someone else
I've got to pay for the world now
If not, there's no one to do
It is here (I will defend you)
Near and nearer (fight it back)
One foot in the grave, I've seen this all before
Memories, memories of tomorrow
One foot in the grave, I've seen this all before
Dear me, memories of tomorrow

4. The Healer

Hear them sing the tales of glory
About a man so brave and wise
He subdued the hated tyrant
But he's unlucky, hear his cries
Why, why, why
All of mine are dead and gone (why, why)
Oh, my absence was too long (why, why, why)
Bloody vengeance's what I swear (why, why)
Heroes grief, it makes me strong!
In the world's most darkest hour
When he prevents the fall of man
He shakes off the yoke of evil
He is the saviour of all land
Why, why, why
These betrayers killed my love (why, why)
But there soon will come the day (why, why, why)
For their treason they must pay (why, why)
Heroes grief, it makes me strong!
"After Karlaak had fall he went through the forest of Troos
where he met Zarozinia, daughter of the fallen king of the Dreaming City.
He tried to part himself from his two glorious swords "Stormbringer" and "Blade of Sorrow",
and was punished by the gods with the knowledge about his destiny.
He had to face the bitter truth of being an immortal hero
in the endless war between good and bad........"

5. Innocent

Can't control
My hands and feet
Conditioned to be a human machine
Can't control
My thoughts and needs
Memories erased...
My brain won't work
Without that chip – inside my head
The things I see – I can't define
Responsibility seems strange to me

Shock – I'm a victim of the latest
Fear – Gene technology
Shock – I'm trained to be a robot
Fear – To serve society
Shock – I never ask no questions
Fear – I never cause a doubt
Shock – I don't know what's going on and what it's about all

I gotta know
The reason why
I can't receive no signals anymore
Seems like I'm
Left alone
In a dying world
I did my job – all night and day
Now everything – has gone astray
There's emptiness – inside my head
I realize I've been long gone dead

Shock – Foreign determination
Fear – And the happiness I've known
Shock – Have faded with the signals
Fear – From my master's room
Shock – All wires disconnected
Fear – I see the shades of doom
Shock – Standing by the ruins fills my heart with gloom

6. Memories Of Tomorrow

It was the time we cried for justice loud
We did and felt so proud
Then they start to cut the moral out
Allright, we have allowed
And they start to sort the people out
We looked away and had no doubt
See, when he first came it looked like a sign
He promised to save us from crime
So we thought everything would be fine
And he heals all our wounds – but...
Then he starts saying
doubters are waiting
He talked about
the only one
he had become
the only thing
that we could win
and pray to him – so pray to him
And it seems to be
that hear now, fear now
We, we didn't see
the tears now, tears now
And could it really be that we
we're never free or meant to be – see
We called him healer, see what we got
We were believers, see what we got
And now we cry for freedom loud
They laugh and felt so proud
Then we tried to turn the wheel around
Too late, we're not allowed
See, when he first came it looked like a sign
He promised to save us from crime
So we thought everything would be fine
He heals all our wounds – but...
Then he starts saying
doubters are waiting
He talked about
the only one
he had become
the only thing
that we could win
and pray to him – so pray to him
And it seems to be
that here now, fear now
We, we didn't see
the tears now, tears now
And could it really be that we
we're never free or meant to be – see
We called him healer, see what we got
We were believers, see what we got
Too late...

7. Heroes Grief

Transgressor I am
The one
Force of the future
Control
The new ways are stronger
Obey
(your) Weakness is (my) power
Downfall

I'm the transgressor – Predecessor
Overstepper – Strong aggressor
Put your ways behind you
They only have confined you
They are the chains that bind you
Needn't I remind you
I am the tempter
Extravagant my ways
The worid is my
Menagerie

Freedom the dream of
The weak
Knowledge the scheme of
The meek
Boundaries of this world
Behind
Apes walking upright
Mankind

Transgressor born to lead
I will satisfy your greed
Soon you'll understand
The power I command

Transgressor the one
The process has begun
Soon you'll understand
The power I command

Reality is gone
The new ways are strong
(Transgress)

8. Heartbeat

Blind by science, stained by blood
You look down to this global cage
filled up with misery and pain
(presented as) a coffin for your punishment
While the religion gives the sense
in praying to an imperfect might
Accepting the mutilated
bodies of little babies
as payment for the luxury of
a so called real and poor church
Somewhere they lost the meaning
twisted it never seeing
there's no justification
for this runaway creation
Nothing is true and nothing is false
while no one can build or destroy
worlds in less than seven days
Nothing is gained and nothing is lost
It's all a game that has no rules
Reality is insepted by
reality so all we see is
created by electron waves
that flow out of a living screen
The truth is portrayted just like a show
where hate rules all the winners take nothing
While a hypocritical humanity
sends frozen kisses to a
tortured people lawn-mowing
the endless mind of
different thoughts projected
by clean white coats in a
castle of science no one
can control and what's more
Nothing is true and nothing is false
while one can build or destroy
worlds in less than seven days
Nothing is gained and nothing is lost
It's all a game that has no rules
played by men and won by fools

9. Transgressor

In the shadow of our industry
we constructed all these big machines
symbolizing what we want to be
superpowers of insanity
Accepting all of this bureaucracy
content to be another wannabe
obscured by all of this complexity
consumed as fuel for even bigger dreams
Little voices saying please sign here
you know these children are too young my dear
and the endless sound of moving parts
replaced the rhythm of their strained hearts
While the wheels continue turning
We still believe in sold out learning
in the center are these blinded eyes
masked by a melted fire out of ice
Answers finally came to me
inside a plastic strawberry
Creeping through your cancered skin
Remember that your life is a sin
Lost like a heartbeat
we will never hear
Caught by the house of coldness
we all fear
And in our blindness we can't see
the ghost of all we used to be
In the daylight of our destiny
Swimming in reflected vanity
So you smoke another cigarette
One more thing in life that you'll regret
While the wheels continue turning
we still believe in sold out learning
in the center are these blinded eyes
masked by a melted fire out of ice
Lost like a heartbeat
we will never hear
Caught by the house of coldness
we all fear
and in our blindness we can't see
the ghost of all we used to be

10. Prophecy

Wading through the oceans of minced dreams
while they puke some little pieces of
surreal truth to feed the stupid crowd
The endless kiss of him that made them proud
so the rigid lens gives you
the perfect view
into the heated
heart of bloody polished steel
and
as they started dancing (on mutilated humanity)
you can hear them paying homage to their
unknown fear
See what we have given you
See what we can do for you
We just do what we are told
We must do what we are told
for religion we are sold
We just do what we are told
for religion we are sold
all we touch is dead and cold
And while they exorcise what they believe
always flagging honour and justice
vindication for their blinded greed
so that you can play the innocent
'cause you learned how to behave
in a
virtuell world that's
full of mutilated dreams
and
as they started dancing (on mutilated humanity)
you can hear them paying homage to their
unknown fear
See what we can give for you
See what we have done for you
all we have is here before you
accept our lives, we must implore you
