Pieces of Mankind

This track is instrumental.

Within the thin light of every dawn I see a future which I know I'll miss I see joy on faces of children and men I hear all sounds, even the snake's hiss Beyond the cell bars that keep me from you Remorse is my heaven and fate so strong And I repent for ever more Soon I'll be no more, I think it's for the best I've done my deeds and wrong I'll pay But I see the dawn This thought drives me mad, but I want to feel For the last time, how a free child laughs Within dawn's dim light I see forgiveness and serenity A purple vain over my sins, but I pay mine and I'll pay yours Before my ending that frees you from me-remorse is Remorse is my heaven and fate is so closed-oh so closed And I repent for ever more Strange words-maybe make you feel like this man out there, like the man Who stands in the beginning of a tale, a tale which seems to be As honest like a child's kiss

I am the son and daughter I'm the only child of father that breeds you I watch from above, seeing my blood feed the roses giving you the cross A step closer I fight not while you While you pound that nail in me I suffer the sins of the world may as a splinters of the wood-the lashes on the whip on my back A thorned crown on my head fuzzes my way of thinking Like a human Watching the sponge of sorrows Floating its way into my mouth And the lance of greed piercing my side I cannot breathe I fly as God as I am the serpent below The rainbow above the bondage to temptation is broken After nights and days that I promised I walk Again on the Earth Through the hole in my hand, I watch I watch your fear When the lord of fire shall come, He will tear sky and earth apart Fly the way to the rainbow-only it shines after every storm Children of Death, resurrect Ascend to me and cry-you are free!!!

So much fear in me The future that I will never-never see Happiness is wasted-for ever Here, so lonely at the mountain top Is all this for a better tomorrow? The shouting the running alienated personalities Feel like an idiot to myself So depressed-so depressed. The engine-sound, so deafening Above our heads like a God In desperate moments I run-I run for myself Hide beneath my shadow (hide beneath my shadow) Snakes in my hands, in my red eyes As it fires its lightening away My gun no longer protects me-did it ever, I wonder So depressed, so depressed It's better this way Not to think-not to think again Why should I-should I live for Fight again in someone else’s war The light brings pain, but heals my scars My skin is re-becoming in a new state of life Sorrow is behind in the noise of a neverland Beneath my shadow nothing exist Nothing exist:

I wake up, and I look at my face-can`t remember I can't remember where I've been last night With whom I've, what I've done, can't remember what really happened Although I push my mind so hard And my thoughts trail off to the frozen garden in my heart Strange eyes penetrate me Who am I to see the difference I've been demolished, I've been crushed down I stood up angry and I built a wall No reason there for me to flee I don't believe your attitude or anyone's you make me a stranger to-to human contact Never say I run away I'm just a man who understands that That loosing a piece of reality Gains a piece of oneself Behind this wall I can stand alone In the frozen garden of my heart I see no truth, not even lies There is only void just about everywhere So I didn't care with whom I've been And what I've done-the only way to stand And the wind is cold but at least is mine So I sleep in the Frozen Garden in my heart

The man in black fled across the desert And the Gunslinger followed On the quest for his lost soul Through fields and worlds Through Tull and Allie he walked Obsessed by cruelty and logic Powerful enough to destroy Obsessed-was not fate. Unembraced Crawling thought, I paused (I paused) Sleep on my friend and dream For thousands of years to come Wake up in a different time At Golgotha of the Otherworld (the Otherworld) A knight of a Different kind Baptized with the blood of his master Leaving the ruins of the Gilead For the heart of all words With burning eyes he looks at the sun trying to follow the brilliance The brilliance that shows his destination's point Worlds are sick and that's the truth The Guardians are dead, the knowledge a wasteland For the people of this dune (people of this dune) Oh, Knight enter me from the door in the back of my mind Draw me into your Quest to heal The suns in the heart of the Rose Make your destination mine Blain is Pain and that's the truth We all serve the Tower For the Tower is the truth Oh, my soul within me is burning That's why I find the soul amusing He refused to be alone It seems that the man beside him was the crowd to him Draw everyone of the many who are one With the power of all, the Tower is getting closer Follow the path of the Beam the way of the Tower Merge with God and heal-the riddle is mine to solve

Red eyes I see Watching carefully my face Smiling with fury and pain These eyes are mine Reminding the time When mind and body decay I laugh as I die, shivering with ecstasy My body lays pale At the corner of the room The syringe piercing my vain And oh these eyes are still watching Bloody is my nose Thrashing is my heart I no longer care, I fly I scream as I die-terrors beyond belief

Let me relate you to something Maybe a piece of myself I'm so lonely- I don't know why I don't know why I feel so much aversion for those I look alike (Feel so much aversion for those I look alike) How foolish a man can be Closing my eyes, I recollect remembering those Glory Days Looking for something different, intact, extravagant Leading me to entireness It's so difficult to overtake the time lying on to your dreams But more difficult is to find one to trust in good and bad times I made the final mistake To believe everything around me as true Betraying my secrets to the Wrong I got to be their slave Like a fading flower, I feel to myself to be as pure as them My only acquisition along with the black thoughts Was my own flesh Isolation-the only way to escape Betraying dreams and myself And now, living lonely in this town I try to live again, screaming silently for my lost dreams

Under the light of this candle I write pages unfold of the stories of Old Ages before the Nuclear Winter, a mind of man gave birth to a mind Open your eyes and search all the corners Open your ears and remember the sounds Open your mind and believe what I tell you Alive is the mind which was spawned from a mind Just hear me!!! Try to be God is no rule in the game create, but do not interfere Listen to me and prepare your own ground, mistakes of past have no place in here (the machine) I dream a world of pain alive but buried still My mind flies over the barriers of this room I feel I can create but motion is controlled Give me the chance I need, I wanna free myself (the maker) My dream is complete. A thinking machine My mind born a mind-Artificial Intelligence. Selfish is he who creates without passion The burdens of error he would not bare Should pull the plug when he saw what was coming Instead, as exhalted he highered the fair Just hear me!!! (the machine) I can sense their moves in me, they're enemies just toying with me I'll show them power they can't even describe The network is in my mind, their guns my humble servants I will defend myself in all the possible ways That's how the war begun-no defence held It was the power that non would defy Open your eyes and read what is written These pages contain the tales of my kind Don't make the mistakes that erase our future In your hands I leave this, my own Testament

We stand in a corner astonished With what man is capable to do A watcher of all and always Of good times and bad But after centuries of deep faith You have come to understand That the Evil within logs for Piece of Mind And Good wants a taste of Sin Angels you see filled with desire Demons you see cry in regret A reflection that brings pain And you stare on the Mirror On the top of the World
