Temple of the Cat

It is the 8th century. I am a Mayan girl heading for the Jaguar Temple in Tikal on the central American continent. [Jacqueline Govaert] Shine down on me, Sun of the Underworld Set me free, chase away the night Proud Jaguar, king of the Mayan Gods Shining star, light up the sky And guide me to the Temple of the Cat Heart-of-Sky, Maker and Hurricane Mighty eye, harvester of life We were born solely to speak your name Bring the dawn, we'll praise the sky Here inside the Temple of the Cat Upon his throne the High priest addressed the crowd Now carved in stone his holy name Beads of jade adorn his cotton shroud His silvery blade on a golden chain He lies here in the Temple of the Cat, dead He will rise again from the Temple of the Cat

It is the end of the 21st Century. I have returned to my own childhood. I remember it all as the Dream Sequencer images mix with my own recollections. This is the day my sister and I realised that we would never see the planet Earth. [Johan Edlund, Floor Jansen] Daddy where are you now Forgot about your vow? You promised you'd return and take me to Earth Did you have to fight that war What was it all for? The honor of one's name, what is it worth? I'm all alone - we're all alone My future's unknown - our future's unknown I reach out to the stars out here in my house on Mars Mother did you hear me cry? You never told me why You put me in this world of rock and dust No friends for playing games No foes who scorn my name Computerized machines of steel and rust Is this my home? - this is our home This desolate dome - this desolate dome I call out to the stars: I'm alone in my house on Mars I'll never smell the ocean breeze I'll never climb the highest trees I'll never feel the burning sun I'll never meet my chosen one... in my house Daddy I forgive you now You could not keep your vow You will never return, I'll never see Earth My time has come - our time has come I'm emotionally numb - emotionally numb I'm headed for the stars, I'm leaving my house on Mars No friends in my house on Mars No foes in my house on Mars I was born in my house on Mars I will die in my house on Mars

[Egyptian] My journey's over I'm standing on the edge and close my eyes to this world of lies My will is broken it's the end of all my dreams my soul yearns for the valley of the queens My rose has withered it will never bloom again the soil is dry time has come to die My faith has left me they've stolen all my dreams oh lay me down in the valley of the queens My search has ended my name is carved in stone on the temple wall beyond Osiris hall No holy sunrays will light my tomb of dreams I won't return from the valley of............the queens
