1. Prologue

I'm still here
Against any logic
There are no gates closed for me
Now I will tell you my story
Of a dream that made me free
People, I address you
Listen to my story
Around the world it shall fly
It's a song of doubts and fears,
Song of love and glory
The sheet is clean
So, let us begin




2. Words Of Ashes

Surrounded by battle - death is everywhere -
I'm struck and I'm clenching my sword
I know - it's impossible, but it seems so real,
it's shattering my inner world

It ain't easy part
No light on my way

The vision is fading, the feelings get dim, expelled by the pressure of dawn
But my eyelids close, and I hear the voice - the voice I have already known
Hear us calling! Open your mind! You must understand what you are.
But words are ashes, their meaning's just dust - fading but leaving a scar

It ain't easy part
No light on my way
These dreams burn my heart
Real World's gone astray

Strange voice breaks through the dark
And lures up high
Mercy! I lose control
So die!

Leave me alone!

Strange voice breaks through the dark
And lures up high
Mercy! I lose control
My world's turning upside down

Your voice breaks through the dark
And lures up high
Mercy! I lose control
So die!

Hear us! Trust us! Open the gate!


The Elder: Reject your doubt and fear, you must no longer be shackled with "where" and "when". See your purpose, Child Of Two Worlds. Just believe and the wall will fall, and the gate will open




3. Walk On The Edge

Music: Andrey "Archont"/Vyacheslav Molchanov

Keep inciting me
Unchain my heart
One who lives in dark
Needs a spark

Keep inciting me,
Insanity
You live in my mind
Only life in dreams
Can make me free
And dirt stays behind

Dirt is oppresing me
Save me, Dark
I'm almost home
But they call me back

No!

Deep inside in me
I feel your breath
My true only love
I walk on the edge
About to fall
Cause I've got enough

Oh God, please help me

I close my eyes
And regain my soul
My life's in my hands...
It's just a dream
I'm just a passion
Shadow

Outro:
I walk on the edge
I'm free
And my path lies across the line
But I must return
No!




4. All This Time (The Balancer's Song)

Music: Andrey "Archont"



Balancer: -- Are you lost? I will show you the way, trust me!
-- Who are you?

So many years ago
I have chosen my path
Without fear and doubt
I keep on believing

Every day I've lived
Is burned with iron in my mind
Age by age goes by
And I feel old pain
When I close again my eyes
Pain of days I've lived

So many years have passed
I've been waiting for your birth
A child with tainted blood
Blood of the ancients
That has slept through centuries
Child of two worlds
Child who is the key
So I'm
The guardian of light
Keeping the spark of faith
So bright

Your way's
The ancient line
I close my eyes and see
The sign

All this time




5. My Noteless Blues

Music: Andrey "Archont"

Yesterday it was so clear
Usual routine of life
In vino veritas
Who's gonna loose?
Blood counts the time
Of my noteless blues

Tomorrow it has to be different
It's obvious but so sudden...
Head's getting heavy
It's good news
Heart beats the rhythm
Of my noteless blues

Marionette is who I am
Driven by hand as if i'm blind
Predestination is term of real question
They've set figures and chosen the side
for me

"Oh chosen one come with me,
And you fulfil your destiny"
But I'm scared 'cause I can't see
Blindfolded like sheep before the slaughter

Dreams of the past are now coming true
They are so close touch them by hand
I don't know anything about this battle
Who is my enemy who's friend

"Chosen one come with me"
It smells like a trap
They promised to set me free
But can i trust them
The stakes are too high

Chorus:
It is so close and real - my land of the free
I believe my heart will be there
The doors are closed
My purpose is the key
Can I go back - I don't care
Walking though dreams
Where the freedom lives
How I wished to be there
But now I'm afraid to be wrong
Who am I in this game
A Queen or a pawn?




6. Goodbye, New World

Music: Andrey "Archont"

Through the shadow comes another day
Time's up - no one can ever play
with fate
It's nice to feel you near - insanity

Just one step - I've got my faith but I'm blind
But the lights are out - curtain's down
No turn around

Goodbye, New World!
Time to go
My heart does not belong to you
Goodbye, New World!
I promise I do not turn back
Your soul is dead, vain glory rules the ball

You think my dreams are insanity
My tears make you laugh and watch me with hostility
Well I'm just a joker my share is misery

Farewell! I will not wake you in your sleep
Enjoy your routine - deep within - you're living machine

Goodbye, New World!
Time to go
My heart is not a part of you
Goodbye, New World!
Some day you must look back and see
What you have built
You'll see just shattered souls

Just one step - But I'm blind
But the lights are out - curtain's down
No turn around

Goodbye, New World!
Time to go
My heart does not belong to you
Goodbye, New World!
I promise I do not turn back
Your soul is dead, vain glory rules the ball




7. Return To Inner Self

Music: Andrey "Archont"

I return to inner self
I've got power, I've gained sight
I've forgotten my fear
It was a ghost of lies

I lived in a fake world
And I was flying so high
The dream dried my tears
Living in my eyes

Prechorus
But hope and love just cannot die so young
They've got to live forever
You have to rise up and fight
To break away and fly
fly so high


Life dictates it's own rules
If not agreed you can leave the game
Maybe it's just an excuse
Not to explore your inner self

What is this freedom?
What is personality?
Using stranger's rules you'll never know it

Prechorus
But hope and love can also die so young
They've not to live forever
Whose will has written this play
Who's pressed that damned lie
into my mind

Chorus
Where do you go?
What is your freedom here?
Do you know?
You know...
Hear the voice of soul
It's the sign of hope
Why do you go?
Is freedom worth this price
You win!
And so?..
Just retreat
Cause you cross the social law
But dice is thrown
It's my solution
Too early for execution
Mind revolution changes all.




8. The Escapist Hymn (author's notes)

Music: Andrey "Archont"

Intro:
This wonderful world is full of treats
Wait for your tomorrow
But our share is fantasies and we live
Walking through dreams

We believe there are things in the world
Worth fighting for again and again
And does it really matter so much
What other people say

Down to the ground, fall from stars
But this grey world is not for us
We keep the faith and know
That our souls live
in the books we read
again and again



Chorus
Wind of past
Impales like cold steel
We believe
There is some place Unreal
Place where honor's not just lies
Where love has no sale price
Where sun's shining!
Look with your heart, not just the eyes

Verse 1:
When words of love are only just a cause
When friendship is convenience and nothing more
Can we respect advices and moral admonitions
Of such Reality?
Where days're dancing at the music of The Money
Just one look back - and your life is through
The grey machine wants another portion
Are you sure it fits you?

Bridge:
This is your life and your mind
You're the owner of your fate
Disperse the shadows
Choose your path
Nothing else can stop you from creating your own reality


Verse 2:
I don't have answers for all questions
And solutions to change this crazy world
My story is just an attempt to show
That you are not alone
I believe that dirt is not everywhere
And harmony is somewhere very near
And I don't care if they think I'm a madman
I still believe

Bridge:
This door's so close
Reach out your hand
This book has no end
Key's in your soul
You are not alone
Water grinds the stone
Just believe




9. Epilogue (My Yellow Brick Road)

Music: Andrey "Archont"

Now I have finished this book
It's time to turn the page
But my story's just begun
So I believe, so I hope

No need to look back
But fear of deception's chilling my civilized heart
It tempts me with promises, drives me insane
My Yellow Brick Road
Like shine of gold
Tempts greedy souls

A step - it's harder as it gets clear
It makes me feel alone
Why do I still keep daydreaming
Forget, restrain...

But dreams come again
It's hard to tell what's black or white, who's enemy or friend
So let it be, there's no way back - I've crossed the line
Now I see the long awaited sign
No need to wait anymore - it's time
Goodbye.
