Horizons

If nothing else will come of this than a crazed experience I might tell you something I think you know that you’re keeping out of sight Lost, but not erased Time will show Don’t stray, you’re destined to remember ‘Cause you can’t stop thinking ‘bout the day I pray you’ll find what you endeavour and make peace on the way You must dig into your underworld There’s secrets waiting there to be found But brace yourself for a vicious past So unsafe and so unsound It’s time to face yourself Don’t stray, you’re destined to remember ‘Cause you can’t stop thinking ‘bout the day I pray you’ll find what you endeavour and make peace on the way Living with a troubled mind Defined life and left you in a bind You took the only road you knew Been wasting your time, wasting your time Only you can change your ways And reluctance will bring you hell to pay Clear your mind and you’ll be free, yeah Don’t be wasting your time, wasting your time Don’t stray, you’re destined to remember ‘cause you can’t stop thinking ‘bout the day I pray you’ll find what you endeavour and make peace on the way

This is a dream that I have A glimpse of a world more real The night is young, my mind is strong And I walk of paths so unreal Maybe there’s more than meets the eye More to this world than we see And what if what’s true is a lie? What if this time I’ll be free? Oh no! It’s just an illusion It’s never been like this, been like this Where do I go from here? Caged in a moment’s reflection It’s never been like this, been like this Been like this, been like this, been like this, like this Help me, I’m in search of something new And something escapes my sight And maybe I’ve got answers to question Questions that lead me to light Oh no! It’s just an illusion It’s never been like this, been like this Where do I go from here? Caged in a moment’s reflection It’s never been like this, been like this Been like this, been like this, been like this, like this I know, it’s just an assertion It’s always been like this, been like this And there's no way out of here I know, beyond my conception I've always begged for this, searched for this Longed for this, strived for this, wanted this (like this)

Running through the wilderness Determined to succeed Improving myself by the seconds Relentless ‘til I’m beat My whole life is repetition I don’t know how to end The dominant obsession that I’m Destined to amend Step by step through burning hell One man’s wasteland, hours to kill Next thing I remember is the rock against my head The devastating heat wave’s gone There’s a cold night sky instead Both my legs are paralyzed, my throat is sore an dry I can’t help but thinking: My time’s up, this is goodbye Forward crawling, arms in pain My strong determination remains Can you hear my call? Who’s coming to my rescue? I’m losing the light in my eyes Into an endless sky I stare And my life just passed in review Hope descends every devastating hour I spend Heaven knows when it will end Hear my Call! Hear my call? Who’s coming to my rescue? I’m losing the light in my eyes Into the break of dawn I stare Now there’s someone out there calling my name That’s when I realize I’m already hanging in the air Hope descends every devastating hour I spent Will the gods decide to make amends? Heaven knows whenever this’ll end I’m running out of time And hope descends every devastating hour I spent Will the gods decide to make amends Heaven knows whenever this’ll end

Inhale, exhale, stay awake Keep talking, don’t give in The arms of death are reaching out to decompose your skin Hold tight and the wings of faith will take you higher Hold on tight and you’ll be all right Patched up, enfeebled and disqualified From the everyday I had before My independence cut down to the bone They told me I’d live, but life is a bore There’s a will but there’s no way There’s an idea but no clay I’m reduced to observing The life work of others with no voice to sing Save me from the fate that I’ve been given, save me My doorway disappeared and everything turned passé I see the worldly life through different eyes Now I’ve discerned what lies ahead Once so important’s suddenly trivial Time drags when life’s confined to a bed There’s a fortune but no door There’s an island but no oar I’m reduced to creating Vast illusions, daydreaming Airways I’m running up the steps to catch my airways It’s child’s play once you get the hang of it It’s my way Back to freedom All night I live the life I once believed in All this time I’m close to fine All night I live the dream I once imagined Hold on tight Airways I’m running up the steps to catch my airways It’s child’s play once you get the hang of it It’s too late To be saved in a world that let you down It’s too late

Come wake up, be serious You don’t have a clue? The world is turning upside down and it might affect you too! Tonight there will be miracles, but nothing left to see 'Cause every alteration made is forged in memory Turn your pages, you’ve waited for ages A whole new story, brand new display Wars have come and gone No one cares who won Generation next Fighting other battles Where survivors rule There’s always a fool To ridicule and scorn Revolution come undone Hidden from the untrained eye But right beneath your thought A higher state of consciousness The open mind’s resort And if you’d only dare to search Your deeper inner space You might find there’s more to life Than the reflection of your face Turn your pages, we’ve waited for ages A whole new story, brand new display Wars have come and gone No one cares who won Generation next Fighting other battles Where survivors rule There’s always a fool To ridicule and scorn Revolution undone Do you feel this world has come to cease? Like a worn and battered masterpiece Could be blessed, but you won’t see Wars have come and gone No one cares who won Generation next Fighting other battles Where survivors rule There’s always a fool To ridicule and scorn Revolution come undone

Come on home, son! Part from where you are There’s nothing left to you to be there for Faithful soldier, you made your mark by far The time has come, step out of the spot We’ll find you a place where the heroes of war take up the lives they used to lead before We’ll respect you We’ll perfect you We’ll protect you For nothing We’ll neglect you We’ll deject you We’ll reject you For nothing Dreadful memories haunt me all the time How fierce we were in the fields of battle Stand up straight, soldier, this is not a crime Don’t be afraid, you must carry on The peacemaking warrior serving his country It could be the end if you opened your eyes and turned to disagree We’ll respect you (You promised to help me) We’ll perfect you (A breach of faith) We’ll protect you For nothing ('Cause these days I’m nothing to you) We’ll neglect you (I was a fool to believe you) We’ll deject you (Why did you lie?) We’ll reject you For nothing The damages I saw spread chaos in my dreams When I can’t tell right from wrong, my actions go to the extremes Every now and then I tend to disappear I lock the world away, I feel there’s no room for me here I used to be the guy with strength enough for two Affectionate and kind, whatever you might ask I would do Now I’m feeling odd, no spark of life, no gun The fight against injustice only just begun You promised to help me But why did you lie? You’ll respect me You’ll protect me for nothing We’ll respect you (I was a fool to believe you) We’ll perfect you (A breach of faith) We’ll protect you For nothing (I’m nothing to you) We’ll neglect you (I was a fool to believe you) We’ll deject you (A breach of faith) We’ll reject you For nothing Every now and then I tend to disappear I lock the world away, I feel there’s no room for me here Long forgotten vet, a soldier with no gun The fight against injustice only just begun

You turn your face! Are you somewhat surprised to find all that you were and once believed is now but a lost state of mind? Back in time, when the future felt infinite, you fought like a king to make a change Whatever the cost, no regrets Respectable in all directions Wheedled into false affections The ideal tomorrow was changed all along As you grew older, the fire burned a little colder 'til one day it died out Ideology turned to mindlessness There were times when you could’ve done so much more Than saving yourself, neglectfully Unlike how you were before Your world disbanned And all that mattered was making gold Regardless of how You turned your back on the dogma you had, broke the mold Wrapped up in your selfish dreams The world unfolds in perfect schemes With chaos lurking underneath The air is getting hard to breathe Wrapped up in your selfish dreams The world unfolds in perfect schemes But where’s your lifetime guarantee? The time will come and you will see Respectable in all directions Wheedled into false affections The ideal tomorrow was changed all along As you grew older, the fire burned a little colder 'til one day it died out Ideology turned to mindlessness You turn your face! Are you somewhat ashamed to learn That you’ll never give up your way of life? Just mind your own concern! Respectable in all directions Wheedled into false affections The ideal tomorrow was changed all along As you grew older, the fire burned a little colder 'til one day it died out Ideology turned to mindlessness Mindlessness Total Mindlessness

Cut me out, let me go from these hollow winds that blow Let me go let me go, it’s an outrageous misfortune I wanted to seek, I wanted to find I wanted only things that once were mine “It’s cold and dark As the spirit closes in on him He’s a dreamer in mind Just another believer who wastes no time Searching answers endlessly” Riding on the wave of your hand Over land of symbols that I don’t understand Trying to embrace your new world This journey’s unpredictable, a mystery unfurled Travelled far to see you again But every dream I had of you was dreamed up in vain Now I’m trying hard to break up the ice To free the man I used to call my friend, but it’s no dice It’s crazy, crazy Once in time, far away In the land of white and grey I discovered the truth What I’d missed for so long is the very thing that keeps you going on Countless horizons They once were so fine Call it thievish, call it fate I believe it’s possible to recreate And they all could be mine Newborn horizons They dawn upon me Call it thievish, call it fate I believe it’s possible to recreate Now I’m finally free (newborn horizons) Riding on the wave of your hand Over land of symbols that I don’t understand Trying to embrace your new world This journey’s unpredictable, a mystery unfurled

This is a dream that we share A ball full of thoughts in our minds The night is young, the game is on And all else falls way behind It’s so real, this dreamy invention It’s never been like this, been like this The world is twisted around And we can’t control this creation But it’s never been like this, been like this Been like this, been like this, been like this… This is a dream going on Where we can decide what we are and where We may dissolve the ground if we fall And the dream might turn into a nightmare Maybe we grew tired of living on this narrow path that we walked upon And maybe we could build it somewhere A new world made of dreamers It’s so real, this dreamy invention We know but reality’s outdone by far Now we can be who we are Though we can’t control this creation It’s never been like this, been like this Been like this, been like this, been like this… There’s a magical current of belief in the air as we let ourselves in But when we open our eyelids and step into the dream, a kind of vision presents itself A man with lonely eyes Glazed from all they’ve seen Worn down from forced goodbyes So many has-beens Something’s taken hold of my feelings Something’s taken hold of my soul I try to crack a hole in the ceiling But it grows out of hand I’m losing my self-control Why would you leave me? And why would you give up the world we created? I thought we could make it and now utopia is gone King of the promised land Abundance of luxury With powers to make a stand So handsome I’ll be! This is everything that I dreamed of This is how my life should have been But hidden in the back of this dreamstuff A notion so grim: something is missing Why would you leave me? And why would you give up the world we created? I thought we could make it Now I’ve been abandoned And why, after all we’ve been through? Utopia was you All the fires in side me keep on burning my tears when they should have been shed In the midst of a breakdown, I’m disturbingly calm Am I living or dead? There’s a place I long to see that resembles home Where the sky is dressed in blue and I am citizen unknown And I wish that you’ll be there Awaiting my return To the simple lives we knew I guess you live and learn My kingdom finally fell Crashed by loneliness The wondrous heaven turned to hell Less is more con more is less But it’s a dream within a dream ‘Cause there’s no way back The sleep and I won’t separate So here I am standing One step from landing in time So I may rectify my crime Tossed through the layers Demolishing chaos The dream is gone Maybe it’s a dream within a dream Maybe things are not what they seem Maybe… Maybe it’s a dream within a dream Maybe things are not what they seem Just maybe…

I call your name for the seventh time And when the night sets in, I’ll retrace my crime I put out your flame, and still the smoke keeps coming back for more I recall the sound of your dreams against the floor Erasure Erasure, rewind Your life Not here, no more Wasting I’ve been wasting All this time I tried so hard to figure out my world Wasting I’ve been merely wasting Hours that remain unsung by my voice I call your name for the umpteenth time And when the light sets in, I’ll retain my crime Erasure Erasure, rewind My life Not here, no more
