Forces Of Salvation
06:12
|
|||
So now you're ready to conquer the world
But in this mission you're on your own
Around the stars you'll steal the sun
And in a Black Hole your journey will start
My little one...
Beyond the ages and through space and time
Beyond perception and the pillars of mind
These are the powers you can reclaim
The only fear you must destroy is your own
And yours alone...
You were subconciously reorganising your own fate
You have been living a life that was out of place
So you were made to withstand every test you face
And in your cells there is power to live again
You may look back and search for love...
Search for the future and the change
Inside the Void... the void... the void...
Head straight into the light
be the one we know you can be
Head straight into the light
take us with you on your forces of salvation
He was supposed to be your other half but he failed
to bring happiness and a higher,
higher sense of respect
Look at yourself and decide what to do
cos' nothing else
nothing else will last like the stars up above
-and stars we are not-
You must leave at once
our dearest hope...
Our dearest Hope!
Head straight into the light
be the one we know you can be
Head straight into the light
take us with you on your forces of salvation

Rogue
03:49

Give me just one smile, I will prove you wrong
I will disappear, my words will linger on
I'm a singled-out demon
I'm a preacher going rogue
Your shiny eyes look old through my Van-Gogh's eyes
We want different things, our worlds collide
I'm a twisted brain mirror
of a good soul going rogue
And if you practice what I'm preaching,
I'll be a preacher on the run
A preacher on the run.
See me fly through the misty skies of fake, luscious dreams
See me fly through my lonesome skies
See me fly through my lonesome skies
Give your heart away, and I will make it mine
I will disappear - you will not survive
I'm a singled-out demon
I'm a preacher going rogue
I'm a twisted brain mirror
of a good soul going rogue
of a good soul going rogue
I'm a singled-out demon
I'm a preacher going rogue
I'm a twisted brain mirror
I;m a good soul going rogue
See me fly through my lonesome skies.

Screw the Oath
03:45
|
|
||
We were born into the dark
castaways and cursed by fate
Our mothers bled to death
strapped upon a bed for tests
We were tortured, put aside,
freaks of nature we were called
We were treated like the outlaws
they would so much love to hate!
Let's break the chains
We're the best of our kind
Let's break free
cos' we're proud of who we are
We were made to kill
Now it's time we've learned to live
We're the first to breathe the air of freedom we deserve
So screw the Oath! So screw them all!
You say we are some kind of traitors
We say you are this kind of traitor
You are mislead, a voice coming out of the past
So now we can take what we deserve
And you- you must get out of our way
I don't care what you believe
We've all had our bitter share
I've seen what their loyalty means
and I lost my sense of faith
Am I coward? Am I brave?
Am I traitor? Am I saint?
Let's claim the world
make them see what they've done
We wont be the ones
to serve a useless cause
We were made to kill
now it's time we've learned to live
We're the first to break the chains that kept us in the dark
So screw the Oath, let's claim our lives!

Wasted Memory
06:16
|
|
||
Now you can say I lied
but never lied to you
You can say I'm blind
but I've always watched for you
The reasons that I hide from you
were the reasons I had found you
You know you're not the only one
to be lost without this feeling
And I may not be here tomorrow
And you may fly away forever
And you may think I've done something wrong
And you may think I've found a world I fit better in
And you may feel so angry and so low
But never say I've been
a wasted memory...
You may guess I tried
but never tried enough for you
You may ask- you may ask me why, why, why
I didn't try to hold you
Those nights we seemed to waste
tenderness over anger
So what about our love?
Well- it doesn't matter much.
But you will think about it later
when you'll sleep naked with a stranger
And never hear those words you'll always long for
Only a cold smile, a fake touch-
You'll cry because we've had it all.
So never say I've been
a wasted memory.

When you came onto this earth
you were nothing but a stranger to everyone
A wild flower painted grey
And the courage that was guiding you
it fell apart
-you fell apart too.
It almost put your light away.
I saw deep into your soul and found an unbroken spirit
And I felt love, no matter how hard your aching
Be not afraid!
You're the wildest beauty alive
An inspiration for bravery and desire
Fought hard to earn the right to be free
Been where angels and demons
they would not be.
And when hope has been all but lost
it was you that I trusted
You are strong, no matter how hard you're crying
Be not afraid!
You're the wildest beauty alive
Break all the chains that confine you
and fly for the sky!
The stars are your dominion, your one and only love
Please be that creature who binds our hearts-
Please!

Rave

|

Oh, I wish I could tell you how I feel
And I wish you could shake your insecurity
It's been quite a long time
since we played this stupid game
Hide behind a veil of reason
we forgot to touch the sky
Let's pretend there's only you and I
Come and love me
let's forget about the world
Let me love you now
We've known each other
for so long
Our lives became entwined
through the thick of it all
And I am so tired of waiting
And you are so tired too
There's a miracle about to happen now
Come and love me
I'm the one you cherished in your soul
Love me, love me now
Let me love you
You're the one that makes me feel alive
Love me, love me now
If it's only a dream
let's dream together
If we make it through
it's a dream come true
Yeah!

The Chant
06:28
|
|
||
We were banished far away from home
We were left with nothing but our own
But we kept the faith and waited
for the turning of the time
We are beautiful and fair and strong
Walked in battle for our brethren's cause
We would always stand by them
in all the good and bad
We all trust in our supreme god
Mother Nature and Her wisdom's might
Holy Fields are where we all unite
under one ancestral mandate
We are children of a proud mankind
Side by side we're made to stand and fight
Pure and strong wielders of cosmic force
unbreakable by guns
We are children of a proud mankind
We were once their faithful allies
We will keep the dream alive
until we are ascended to the Light
First in battle, and the last to die
First in life and the chance to shine
Born for war and raised for peace
with brave men by our side
Death for duty is what we are made for
Life in peace is what we struggled for
Life and Death will always be our laws
and we shall so obey
We were banished far away from home
We were left with nothing but our own
But we kept the faith and waited
for the turning of the time
We are children of a proud mankind
Side by side we're made to stand and fight
Pure and strong wielders of cosmic force
unbreakable by guns
We are beautiful and fair and strong
Walked in battle for our brethren's cause
We would always stand by them
in all the good and bad
Death for duty is what we are made for
Life in peace is what we struggled for
Life and Death will always be our laws
and we shall so obey
Life and Death will always be our laws
and we shall so obey
Life and Death will always be our laws
and we shall so obey

Moving On
03:05
|
|
||
Far away you've gone into the night
Left me here to wander all alone
I hear your words, the last words of your soul
telling me "don't worry my love about me, be in peace".
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
How can I forget my days by your side?
How can I forget about my feelings?
How are we to stop the tide from changing?
How are we to steal away the sun and live?
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
High now, you've flown into the sky
a wingless angel, a blind all-seeing eye
And may this heart of mine be your companion
And may you live your dreams the way you need them
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
I'm moving on

Trusting The Enemy
05:45
|
|
||
This dire and complex situation
as fragile as it seems
needs to be dealt decisively
or it may turn into a war
Don't feel stranded my dear X.O.
we got power on our hands
We must force them to come face us
we must stand our ground
I'm the captain of this Flagship
responsible for many thousand souls
I swore I would serve the people
and keep our freedom in outer space
It's a dire situation, no doubt
and the challenge is quite big
We've had casualties, I know that
But sacrifice for freedom is a noble thing
The enemy is waiting for us
hoping for our next mistake
but we're brave enough to smash them
and smart enough
to lure them into a trap!
And if you think we were abandoned
it is conspiracy what I sense
In space when friends cannot be trusted
it's the enemy you trust instead
In space when friends cannot be trusted
It's the enemy you trust instead

Million Feelings
05:41
|
|
||
Staring at my bedroom wall
laying naked on floor
I don't care about what will it be
soon enough they'll be taking me
Ain't nobody'll ever hear
'bout my story, 'bout my fear
Ain't got time enough to spare
million feelings, none to share
Million feelings, none to share...
I was foolish, I was young
In a crossfire I was strung
I was chewed up, thrown aside
Now I'm older
Still unwise.
Ain't nobody gonna see
What is justice, what is me
Time is over, it's only fair
million feelings, none to share
Million feelings, none to share...
Ain't nobody gonna know
Glory soared, but life was low
And I hope I... I could just spare
million feelings I would share
Million feelings I would share
Million feelings
None to share
