1. Reflections (In Death's Vourt)
Reflections (In death `s court)
(the judge to the accused) :
Now the time has come to rise or descend
Pain or glory
Be aware of yourself – sharpen your spirit!
One in your mind, all in your hand
+ (white creature speaking to the accused) :
all of your sins are forgiven, if you forgive yourself!
all compromises unveiling, you have to clear yourself!
open a door to a new world and then accept the past!
no longer blind and misleaded if you`ll regret at last!
- (black creature) :
his greed will be his downfall
hate and envy will seal his fate
his life was ruled by jealousy
selfish lying, now it`s too late
+ :
he still can bury his anger, he can give up his hate
pain is always appearing! a future we´ll create
and if he cries for his enemy he can get back his heart
his life was full of delusion but he will pay his part!
- :
(repeat)
his ego cannot rule here
all are equal, can`t buy a chance
send back this poor, weak soul now
one more time, one more dance
(accused) :
Gleaming red my spirit lies in this forge of heaven
An iron staff that can be formed to be reborn
Shall I go down in flesh and blood or transform to heaven?
I realize it`s in my hand – choose right from wrong!
And I will die the way I´ve lived – all in my decision
I`ll be the man I want to be – forgive myself!
2. Selfnegation
Selfnegation
So a spirit screams in anger, a heart explodes
Under overwhelming questions this fear will grow
How can I talk to you in body, mind and soul
When I am just a shadow of this grayish paste?
We flee in fear of dying, grip a blade of straw
So hard to comprehend, to selfnegate ?
(when nothing remains, do we live just for dying ?)
jesus in misery, listening to the burning tree
a prophet lying in defense, no answers to present
where does my spirit go, is it for real?
(under the blade you will find all the answers)
godless in heresy, nothing left for you and me
an ego buried in the mud, all aims are lead astray
what are we fighting for when nothing remains?
Bridge :
Is there a soul deep in this fading mass?
Elusive force in transient flesh
Where is this thing that we are searching for?
Searching forevermore
Chorus :
Frozen tears of degradation, bursting at this revelation
And I can see a fire, religion at a funeral pyre
I don`t want to desecrate you and mankind still awaits you
But some call you a liar and they will hang me higher
I am bound to loose my inner war, need to believe like once before
Can you regret this painful truth? manipulation starts from youth
If there`s a heaven, there`s a hell! this is where we all still dwell
Feary tales of men up in the sky, so silly, it brings tears to my eyes
I will regret to loose control, no one shall rule over my soul
Must I really fade into dust, show me a god I can trust?
Bridge :
So we stand before a crossroad in time
A paradigm can fall
Like always before
Chorus : ( 2 times )
Living in this desolation, drowning in devastation
And I am getting tired of all religious crying
I would always follow you if you could offer me the truth
To end this war forevermore
To be born again, to start again
Just like before, forevermore?
What for?
Religious war , forevermore
What for?
3. On Noah's Ways
On Noah`s Ways
And though we shed a thousand tears her heat was unrelenting
the sling was getting tighter
and though we prayed a thousand prayers her heart was fast distending
The fire was burning brighter
Our leadership had built a plan, consulted every nation
A verdict on mankind's desire
Built a council of authorities, final deliberation
Who is to escape this hellish fire?
So we remained outside these walls, the gates were fast descending
Our last hope was swallowed
And I screamed out loud into the sky, awake of our ending
We knew what would follow…
Their fleet was strong, ships filled the sky and fuel to flee from burning
To save the first of this empire
And we must fall, left here to die. The wheel of life is turning
There`s nothing left but to retire
Bridge I :
From her light we`re born - in her light we die, now the seed of life is fading
To the stars they go, to this ground we fall- into dust we are returning
And the poisened air exhausts me, only wasteland is remaining
In the ashes of a dying star, as a witness I`m here - bound to stay
Bridge II :
Flee from this inferno! sow the seeds of life wherever you may wander
So her wind is now melting the earth, her breath built from fire
And the rivers have gone long before, to find an early death is our desire
This poor world has now come to an end, drifting poisened and dying
The last trees have been scorched into dust, we try to save our breath, let`s now stop trying
We`ll live on in bodies of others who left us behind, they must save this legacy
- we are losing
and a few will reach for the stars while others must fall.
circling on endlessly - eternal now life is leaving this world, to start once again
we pray to god above, damned in this place – we must burn in hell
now the air transforms into fire, it´s burning my skin
every breath like salt in a wound
the stench of death embraces my soul
sow the seeds of life, like once before
wherever you may wander
your origin goes down in fire
and the wheel of life is turning on, a force that’s never ending
the flame of life is seizing (grasping) higher
save our souls
