You really rocked this world With all those diamonds and pearls. You got the eyes of the child Who you believed to be wild. But wait, it all seems the same ‘Cause you’re going to... See yourself in the mirrors of hell. Who can you trust with this, All your friends you dismiss. You got to wait, wait to decide..... Stabbed in the back Without looking back. You’re under attack. You’re stabbed in the back. Stabbed in the back. You feel no physical pain but then you always abstain. We had to look to you, to ignore was Taboo. Wait, it all seems the same ‘Cause you’re going to... Be yourself When the mask it does fall. With your guards held up high you must be bleeding deep inside. You got to wait, wait to decide..... Stabbed in the back Without looking back. You’re under attack. Stabbed in the back. You’re stabbed in the back. You’re under attack. There’s no turning back. Stabbed in the back Stabbed in the back.

Seven years searching for the truth, Seven years I’ve not come near. Seven years exploring alchemy. Seven years of dark and fear. Evil empires rise and fall again. Evil minds coveting trust. Evil thoughts exchanged for sanity. Evil deeds exchanged for lust. Now, it’s fear I see, my clue, insanity. Now it’s clear i see, the world is here for me. Split the veil so now the night appears. I feel a shadow cross my heart. Cold and lonely sinking to despair, Nightmares crowding in the dark. Clutching fingers tugging at my fear. Biting jaws slavered with hate. Bitter anger fear and loathing, Leave me twitching to my fate. Now, it’s fear I see, my clue, insanity. Now it’s clear i see, the world is here for me. In the dream it’s glorious, Standing tall, victorious. Now outside of Morpheus, Cowed and shamed notorious. Now, it’s fear I see, my clue, insanity. Now it’s clear i see, the world is here for me. Now, it’s fear I see, my clue, insanity. Now it’s clear i see, the world is here for me.

As time goes by we sit and wait For something to happen, let’s not hesitate. Well, it goes so fast this thing called life. Could be this precious gift within our sights. Our hearts will fly and soar. It’s all in your mind. Your spirit will rise once more. It’s all in your mind. It’s all in your mind. So from the dark into the light. Then with the speed of sound into the fight. You can change the course of history. Be proud, it’s yours to take for all to see. Your hearts will fly and soar. It’s all in your mind. Your spirit will rise once more. It’s all in your mind. It’s all in your mind. Our hearts will fly and soar. It’s all in your mind. Your spirit will rise once more. It’s all in your mind. It’s all in your mind. Our hearts will fly and soar. It’s all in your mind. Your spirit will rise once more. It’s all in your mind. It’s all in your mind.

See... It’s written in the stars. See... It in the crystal ball. See... The lines on your hand. See... The shadows on the wall. Future threads of mystery Converge before they enter me, They weave into my destiny And leave behind me history. Turn... The tarot card. Blow... And roll the die. Shake... And throw the bones. Stare... Into the fire. Future threads of mystery Converge before they enter me, They weave into my destiny And leave behind me history. Bring the Shaman or the Seer, They must read the atmosphere. The Zodiac, the phantom scrawl, Shadows dancing in the crystal ball. The necromancy must be clear For the future to appear. The dreams and visions start to fall. Destiny is clear to all. Feel... The spirits in the air. Fear... The prophets of despair. Feel... The aura dissipate. See... The icy breath of fate. Future threads of mystery Converge before they enter me, They weave into my destiny And leave behind me history. Fear... All knowing prophecy. Fear... A future without doubt. Fear... Know every how and when. Fear... A clear vision of the end. Future threads of mystery Converge before they enter me, They weave into my destiny And leave behind me history.

Prophecy 03:43
Look at the night, Look at the day. How can you see it if they move away. Seeing it now, seeing it then. It’ll come true but you never know when. The message is clear. The message is loud. Whenever it comes it appeals to the crowd. Teachings of time, teachings of old Came from prophets, or so we’ve been told. Nobody knows if it’s time. Somehow believe in this crime. Something inside of you stares. Nobody cares. Now you have been told time after time This is your prophecy. Now you have been bold, time after time This is your prophecy. Created in stone, created in mind. Wherever the truth is will alter mankind. Discovering man, Discovering land. Telling the future was always the plan. Tell how it is and how it will be? How do they know and how can they see. Revealing a truth, revealing a lie. The deity told us he never would die. Nobody knows if it’s time. Somehow believe in this crime. Something inside of you stares. Nobody cares. Now you have been told time after time This is your prophecy. Now you have been bold, time after time This is your prophecy. How do we live with this? How do we deal with this? Have to get on with our lives. How do we fight with it? How do we even survive? Nobody knows if it’s time. Somehow believe in this crime. Something inside of you stares. Nobody cares. Now you have been told time after time This is your prophecy. Now you have been bold, time after time This is your prophecy. Now you have been told time after time This is your prophecy. Now you have been bold, time after time This is your prophecy.

Tired of thinking for yourself Indecision or too much wealth. Bring your problems here to me Temple of madness will set you free. There is safety in the herd, Join us, help us spread the word. Timid mediocrity, Temple of Madness will set you free. Lost causes gather like black clouds, Secure and safe within the crowd. We’ll take your loyalty with stealth And lie your weakness into strength. There is no meaning to transcend, There’s nothing waiting at the end. You suffer only to be freed, The only life, the life you lead Gonna look through the evil eye, Gonna feel every curse. Gonna taste every alibi, Gonna touch every nerve. Nasty secrets, deeds to hide, Controlling quest to civilize. Rules to follow, Rules to guide, Laws, Commandments, Priests & Lies. Feel the life running through my veins. Feel my thoughts running free. Feel the questions. Break my chains. My Life, My Choice, My Energy. Nasty secrets, deeds to hide, Controlling quest to civilize. Rules to follow, Rules to guide, Laws, Commandments, Priests & Lies. My eyes are open, I’ve broke my chains......

The Reaper 03:56
Running free, running scared, Running down this road. Need to see, need to breathe, From this heavy load... Lightning strikes, thunder rolls, Rain falling down, times running out... Deep in your dreams the nightmare takes control. The reaper is hunting down you soul. Deep in your dreams the nightmare takes control. The reaper is hunting down you soul. Blood red moon shining down, Engine glows like fire. Demon screams chill my bones Is this the end of the road? Lightning strikes, thunder rolls, Rain falling down, times running out... Deep in your dreams the nightmare takes control The reaper is hunting down you soul. Deep in your dreams the nightmare takes control. The reaper is hunting down you soul. Deep in your dreams the nightmare takes control The reaper is hunting down you soul. Deep in your dreams the nightmare takes control. The reaper is hunting down you soul. Deep in your dreams the nightmare takes control The reaper is hunting down you soul. Deep in your dreams the nightmare takes control. The reaper is hunting down you soul.

Dangerous 03:37
Colours that change in the sky, When will they ever arrive. Pray to the gods and the stars, Pray for your life and your soul. Now is the time, come on down And see it come alive. Now come on down, it is here, it’s now... They’re here, look and see, it’s splenderous. Now we see we were wrong it’s dangerous. Fight to change what’s in their minds. They will never survive. Hate and killing the course in their lives, From freedom to the slave. Now is the time, come on down And see it come alive. Now come on down, it is here, it’s now... They’re here, look and see, it’s splenderous. Now we see we were wrong it’s dangerous. They’re here, look and see, it’s splenderous. Now we see we were wrong it’s dangerous. Too many years have gone by. No more we look to the skies. Pray to the gods like you’ve never before Because time’s not on your side. Now is the time, come on down And see it come alive. Now come on down, it is here, it’s now... They’re here, look and see, it’s splenderous. Now we see we were wrong it’s dangerous. Now, they’re here, look and see, it’s splenderous. Now we see we were wrong it’s dangerous.

Vertigo 03:58
Flames are licking slowly around the launching pyre. Plasma pulsing steadily, straining at the wire. A lonely life of mystery soaring ever higher. A phoenix from the ashes, destiny of fire. Vertigo Vertigo Icarus is soaring, Babel climbs up to the sky. Dreams the only limit, to seek and reason why. Moon and stars and heavens path. Answers pass us by. Communicate and understand, try or die Vertigo Vertigo Oblivion is calling, dreams aflame, ambition cries. A future of uncertainty unfurls before our eyes. Destination universe before the species dies. Entropy and destiny, chaos in the skies. Dilating time, converting mass, compressing space, Exploding energy, a never ending race. A chain reaction of particles and waves Distorting everything, nothing in its place. Vertigo Vertigo Vertigo Vertigo

His tears have fallen on to the earth And human beings have grown there. These simple things, these simple minds. So evolution is hopeless The god of light shows his might, Surely he cannot be human. Comes in to land, and shows his hand And overpowers the oceans. There’s a light in the sky with a Falcon beside it. We can’t understand why there’s a light in the sky. He makes demands, lines in the sand, Before he makes up his potions. He gave us light, the tree of life, Hides in the Temple of the Sun. The sacred fruit, it’s not for you Its only meant for the Pharaohs. The Phoenix guards the Benben stone For all eternity. There’s a light in the sky with a Falcon beside it. We can’t understand why where’s a light in the sky. Let it rain, all over the land.... There’s a light in the sky with a Falcon beside it. We can’t understand why where’s a light in the sky.

When I need it, your not there. All that’s left is deep despair. Immoral guidance was your path, Hate & poison behind your back. I told you things in confidence Now everybody knows just what I said. Now I see you for what you are. Lies and hatred just leaves a scar. Paranoia starts to rise, coming out of me from deep inside. To play you at your mindless games Just means I’m the same. One day I will have my way And never worry about what you say. Judgement day, your time will come Then you’ll realise just what you’ve done. So, you go, stir, stir the echoes So, you go, stir, stir the echoes Stir the echoes, stir, stir the echoes... Stir the echoes, stir, stir the echoes... Stir the echoes, stir, stir the echoes... Stir the echoes, stir, stir the echoes... So, you go, stir, stir the echoes So, you go, stir, stir the echoes

When I fly you’ll see me tearing up the sky. The wind is streaming through my hair, The air is sweet and dry. You’re not here to clip my wings Or hear me testify. Terrify! You’ll see we’re here to petrify. The blood is surging through my veins, We’re getting ready to die. We’re charging on to victory So fear our battle cry. Free... Wild and free Free... Wild and free I’m on fire, I’m burning up inside. The road is opening up ahead Right before my eyes. It’s gonna take you to a better place You’ll never take me alive. Free... Wild and free Free... Wild and free Free... Wild and free Free... Wild and free When I fly you’ll see me tearing up the sky. The wind is streaming through my hair, The air is sweet and dry. You’re not here to clip my wings Or hear me testify. Free... Wild and free Free... Wild and free Free... Wild and free Free... Wild and free
