Dispelling the Veil of Illusions

Is this song not instrumental?

Far from home I chase a dream The child inside awakens New perspectives lay one step ahead... All the sudden turns in life sometimes They blind all hope and leave you broken Shifting winds brought union here... The road laid before us runs for endless miles The pull's ever-stronger, it ain't that away Voices and cheers blend with the call of my heart We are just what we are... We're a circle in the ice... Long-awaited days they fade The past is cast into oblivion Places, faces fill my memories... I knew every day the dream would call Now every night it shapes around me A thousands hearts that beat as they were one Like a circle in the ice... As I stand alone, my inmost thoughts coil back home Sanctuary of strength, I feel your embrace... Voices and cheers drown the beat of my heart Tonight our flame's alive... We're a circle in the ice...

Another dawn tolls the hour I'm still a prey on my mind Within this empty kingdom I'll drown... Dancing imps, magic tricks, seducing my eyes Mindless charade parades in the dark... (Courage...) Trust a pure heart (Borders...) And choose you path ((Naiads...) Through springs born of honest tears Find question marks and answers... Worlds of shadows and colliding Night/Day twisting my real anew Kingdom, entropic work of sadness High Fate lies subdued... Tick-tack tick-tack The sublime hour has gone Feasting on memories, lone I'll atone... Wandering shades, harlequins, stray fragments of life Sweetly torment a bleeding heart... Worlds of shadows and colliding Night/Day twisting my real anew Kingdom, entropic work of sadness High Fate lies subdued... Textures warped amid past and future Hours frozen in timeless stream Kingdom, gate to my real illusions Life/Death, Coin's perpetual turn... (Courage...) Trust a pure heart (Borders...) And choose you path Walk on through it all Until your kingdom falls...

Not far there lies a future, we're reaching an end A breakthrough in culture, religion and self... Don't fall to the illusion, the world's about to change Behind the curtain, light is flooding the stage Crossing the gates of our minds Spreading towards all the Suns... Light, awaken inside us Breath of mankind's mind's I Tide of love overwhelming Chord of blessed truth divine At the dawn of the new morn We'll shed our fears Open our hearts and dance... Collective awareness means identity A new order's beginning, abandon yourself and be free... Trust, road's been paved for us all Feel, love is stirring our souls Energy's building inside, matter and spirit unite... Light, awaken inside us Breath of mankind's mind's I Tide of love overwhelming Chord of blessed truth divine At the dawn of the new morn We'll shed our fears Open our hearts and dance... Join in the dance of infinite wisdom Leap to a new age and rejoice...

A million lights being shaded on our lives Only a dream, but far in time I've seen An ancient secret lost to man's recall Spilled the sands of time, there comes release... A great deceiving, spreading our disease Born of shadows, veiling truth, watching Deepest feelings trapped and torn apart Luminous sparks waiting to be free... Soul surrender to the eternal flow Celebration of Becoming Blooming flowers bathing in the glory Of the New Dawn... (Into the ExtraWorld) Close your eyes, perceive the world inside Let it be the real thing White the silence all about, ripe of chance Leave the past, trust the holy Word Present calls, just let it be and free your soul... ExtraWorld, always known Without time, without space We'll be free... Long;s the journey to the golden spring, Lore supreme, there we shall know perfection Bringing balance to our wounded lives Colors we'll shed on our lives... Roots run deep, we're alive Make infinite bright, love eternal... Time has come, rejoice and join the dance Celebration of Becoming Grain of sand united on the shores Of Universe... (Into the ExtraWorld) Close your eyes, perceive the world inside Let it be the real thing White the silence all about, ripe of chance Leave the past, trust the holy Word Present calls, just let it be and free your soul... ExtraWorld, always known Without time, without space We'll be free... Close your eyes, perceive the world inside Let it be the real thing White the silence all about, ripe of chance Leave the past, trust the holy Word Present calls, just let it be and free your soul... ExtraWorld, always known Without time, without space We'll be free...

[GOD] Aware of your beauty, You lived liked a silent wraith Treading on fields of sorrow Carving your own path, have you gone astray... Bringer of my light, begot of that same light Giving in to the dark starless night, Godless night... Aware of your beauty, Yet envious of Heaven's Grace You longed for more All-consuming hunger raped your soul... "...He had of me All he could have; I made him just and right, Sufficient to have stood, though free to fall." - John Milton, Paradise Lost (Book III, 97-99) [LUCIFER] Endless love wrought malice, dealt woe to my life Blinding logic white I should have stood and praised Him, basked in his light But my dreams were set too high No place for repentance, no pardon I'll find Blessed be eternal night Crowned in pride I fell, in torment I'd rise All hope's lost, and thus Grace Divine... [GOD] Oblivious to my love. You sowed hearts with your black seeds Tainting the weakest flowers Spreading rebellion, thus me to defy... Oblivious to my love, the gift I bestowed on you, You spit upon Prime among my angels, first to fall... [LUCIFER] "The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n." - John Milton, Paradise Lost (Book I. 254-255) Endless love wrought malice, dealt woe to my life Blinding logic white Better to reign in Hell, forsaken by Light Then to serve God's Heaven's might... Claiming rule supreme, I renounced the Sun I'll yield not, I shall not bow Won't I bend my will Endless love wrought malice, dealt woe to my life Blinding logic white Fields of joy, farewell, we won't be reconciled Hell's gate open wide Sworn to pervert goodness, oh grievous delight... He shall feel my logic Cold white logic Blinding logic white...

Who are you? "The poor son of my mother..." Who are you? "A man of sorrows on his way through life..." How tragic, the vision's sapped into darkness Who are you? Why seek thou wisdom here? In the bowels of the great Stygian Abyss... Despair... We mourned a knight, his dream, our doom On the day he passed away... These halls remember days, days before the fall Days of glorious hope, of unity fulfilled, seemingly so real... Without him, collapse of civilization... Forgotten, our memory sealed within To die with the last of our kind... Long years have been passing by A scattered few survive Though at loss, the old ideals we strive upon Splendor's gone, the dream's no more, our Sun is stone Virtues High, through endless night, cast forth their light... Be welcome... Accept the cup of oblivion... Inspired to the RPG "Ultima Underworld - The Stygian Abyss" by Richard Garriott

Betrayed by my blood Born under northern skies Of love deprived... An unknown fear's in me Voice of the nameless fate I bear within... Crying out into the wind... Black was the day, White the night Thus all did begin... Beyond hate and love Burdened by memories My essence bleeds... Years go by, my brothers ride Their shadow upon my life Sadness, cruel mate to their waste... I dreamed of the Glory knight A sun on my childhood The past shares my grief When tomorrow comes, may death be fulfilled... Through the summer's and winter's reigns Through the gates of time, away... Grapes and earth, the tolling of a bell And that tree of fire Hate... Black and white clash, fear has gone, I'll live... The last veil fell from my eyes I'm my own horizon... Through the summer's and winter's reigns Through the gates of time, away I raised my sword and carved a path to when... A time... Through the summer's and winter's reigns Through the gates of time, away... Evil, goodness, virtues I once praised I've killed, it's my own fate... Inspired to the Spanish novel "La Torre Vigia" by Ana Maria Matute

Out of pitch-black darkness A lonely dove Her silhouette on the horizon Love brings white pale dawn... Red-blood-stained skies mirror Our flame within Oh sweet naivety of youth, we swore Those skies we'd reach... Lost in my lone reverie Many a night I've been waiting Oh Lady, you would come to me... Time let us down, witnessed Our last goodbye There's a price we all pay Our prize, longed piece of mind... Gathering darkness bodes A dark romance When the roar shatters still Hearts will mourn their past chance Lost in my lone reverie Many a night I've been waiting Oh Lady, you would come to me... I talked to the stars, cursed the moon White Deceiver Fair grace haunts my dreams Cruel silence ails me... Lost in my lone reverie Many a night I've been waiting Oh Lady, you would come to me... Waned have the stars, and so the moon White Deceiver Oblivion engulfed Our dissonant hearts...

Celestial vault, clear ocean of starlight Thyne is the knowledge, thyne is my life... Days lost in haze, in thy reckoning shine My essence, secluded, lies treasured in thee... Lo! I do not belong here Empty-handed I pray the distant Cosmos Take me! Lo! I do not belong here Hopelessness in me, what have I become, how? Eternal grief upon my heart... Devoid of substance, fulfillment I seek Though questions of ages bear no release... Pillars of strength crumble, wisdom is denied Ours is the failure, as cold as winter ice... Sunrise is waiting, a promise in his wake Longed-for unveiling of times long gone by... Grey spirits roaming, gathered in Limbo, Thirsting for life we lose ourselves... And I... Lo! Dawn is getting closer A thousand suns ablaze, such is my reflection I'll live! Lo! Dawn is getting closer Rising up in flames, vestige of my sadness A frail memory... Lo! I do not belong here Dubious whispers die, shrinking into darkness Lulled by the breeze I'm away... I'm away...
