The Dream

HE

Ruins and heaps surround the valleys
Shadows dancing on the seas
Clouds of smoke drift through the wastelands
As the world begins to freeze

Every soul seems to be gone, forgotten
No more signs of life are seen

As I walk across the ashes
Someone’s watching me from far away
I feel something spinning ´round me
Wraps me in a cloak of grey

Is it real or just imagination
As consciousness just fades away

The Awakening

HE

I can barely open my eyes
How did I get to this unreal place?
How long am I caught in these bad dreams?

A gloomy light surrounds me
Scary faces all around
What do they want from me?

THE SENT ONE

Tell us your secrets
How did you do it?
What is your target, your goal to achieve?
Tell us your reason
Why did you go there?
What if you’re nothing but a god damned thief?

HE

I still cannot remember
What was happening to me
I don’t know where I’m going
My past is hard to see

Are there others held in this place
Or am I the only one?
How can I find out what happened to me?

THE SENT ONE

Tell us your secrets
How did you do it?
What is your target, your goal to achieve?
Tell us your reasons
Why did you go there?
What if you’re nothing but a god damned thief?

HE

I still cannot remember
What was happening to me
I don’t know where I’m going
My past is hard to see

The Confrontation

THE SENT ONE

Look around, what do you see
This land is burned and dead
Nobody will ever recognise
The things we had

Do you know what happened here?
The power you deployed?
The missiles that you sent off
To create the fireball?

HE

I don’t see what you’re telling me
I don’t believe all this is true
All these words sound like lies to me
Can’t you see I’m a victim too

THE SENT ONE

Can’t you see all that you took
From everyone who’ll die
Corrupted by the power of war
Ignored their desperate cries

Without a thought, with no remorse
You sacrificed them all
And in the end you’ll realise
That you yourself must fall

HE

I don’t see what you’re telling me
I don’t believe all this is true
All these words sound like lies to me
Can’t you see I’m a victim too

I can’t believe that I have done
These horrifying deeds
But what if what they say is true
And I have sown the seeds - oh no

THE SENT ONE

Open your eyes
And realize
That you have caused
This endless pain

The world was once
A better place
Now it’s gone
Destruction came

You launched the bomb
Destroyed it all
Just ashes that
You left on earth

The life that’s left
Deformed and sick
This is your work
A disgusting birth

HE

I can’t recall the things that happened here
I have no memories of this time
But all you tell me leads me to believe
That I’m the maker of this crime

THE SENT ONE

I see you learn
And understand
That you have caused
This blood and tears

Just watch them all
No future here
How can you take
Away their fears

HE

My body’s aching and my mind’s a haze
And everything seems so unreal       
I fear the truth is just a breath away
A certainty that I feel - oh

The Release

HE

I’m walking the shadows not seeing what lies ‘fore me
A journey to nowhere, fraught with uncertainty
Is there a way to escape from this destiny
A place we can live in harmonious unity

Through this empty desert I feel I don’t walk alone
Each step that I take I believe I’m not on my own
They want me to find a new home for them all to stay
This long winding path is now how I have to pay

The future fades
Like lines in the sand
Will this path ever lead
To the promised land

I travel the wastelands left by catastrophe
Still don’t understand what caused all this misery
What was my part in this? Why did they send me here?
I look to the future not sure what it holds for me

The future fades
Like lines in the sand
Will this path ever lead
To the promised land

Remembrance

HE

Than I arrive
In what must have been a village
Dead leaves on trees, cracks in the concrete   
Greet me here

These houses I’m passing seem familiar to me
Some strange emotion wakes memories in me

Forgotten voices, children laughing
Playing games of hide and seek
A mother’s call to gain attention
I think I’ve heard that voice before   

Theses shades in my memories mean something to me
Some strange emotion makes me feel they’re family

A shiver runs through me
Is this all real or a bad and twisted dream

The Seeress

SEERESS

Beneath all these ashes I find rotten lands
Wandered by people, their blood on your hands
Their dreams have been taken, their hopes all destroyed
Who’ll find them a future, who will give them a cause

I see ghastly faces, no life in their eyes
Shadows and nightmares, from far away I hear their cries
Can you see how they’re struggling, can you feel their pain
I know you can save them, the key is in your hand

You are not alone although I see you suffer
In the face of doom you will find the path ahead

Awakened in shadows, ruins and heaps
Torn by confusion, decay and disease
The fears that corrupt you, leave them behind
The way lies before you, take a step into the light

HE

I am not alone although I see them suffer
In the face of doom I’ll find the path ahead to life

The Findings

HE

So it seems their words were truthful
I alone have made them fall
Into chaos and destruction
Brought upon by these cold hands

I think they're finally unfolding
The findings I must face

Has my destiny betrayed me?
Who’s this man that I've become?
Murderous freak, cold blooded killer
Crimson red smeared on my hands

See, tonight they're unfolding
The findings I must face

I can tell it's time to turn a new page
A prelude to their new and prosperous life
But I can't seem to shake all these feelings
The burden of guilt drags me down to the ground
Someone help me now

SEERESS

I see your tainted soul collecting the pieces
Lost in a myriad of their broken dreams
But deep inside you know you can lead them
And take  them back to familiar lives

HE

It's hard to stand up again
But perhaps there's truth in your words
The weight of the world lays on my shoulders
So tell me please - tell me please
Will I ever be free of my sins

A Place to be

HE

So I carry on
Push away my fear and my dread
I leave the shadows behind me
To create a new life instead

Hope prevails
As we step out onto the plains
Before us we see
A new place for them to be

The Journey

THE SENT ONE

Pensive
Doubtful
In disbelief I stand here
Not knowing
What awaits us
My duty to preserve all their lives out here

I see them
They’re anxious
They’re longing for freedom
Exhausted
And hopeless
They’re almost about to give up on their faith

A place which is said to be the prosperous land
So is this meant to be our fate
Shall we set out to follow this path
Can we believe in the promises he made, oh

HE

Pensive
Doubtful
There is no need to worry
I’ve seen
What awaits you
My duty to preserve all your lives out here

I see you
You’re anxious
You’re longing for freedom
Exhausted
And hopeless
So trust me, you must not to give up on your faith

THE SENT ONE

A place which is said to be the prosperous land
So is this meant to be our fate
Shall we set out to follow this path
Can we believe in the promises he made

There’s no going back to the past
We trust this new world will last

HE

I took heed of the words that you said
A strong believe in the way that’s ahead
I did all that was expected from me on and on

SEERESS

I can see you succeed on your quest to lead them home

HE

No more things left for me in this place
Too many sorrows that I had to face
I don‘t see where I’m meant to go

SEERESS

The way lies before your eyes just look and see
Just be patient the future takes time to be

HE

Desperation fills my heart
Grieve and pain tear me apart
I cannot carry this load for long

SEERESS

Don‘t give up, look ahead, you will find your peace in time
Rest your head, your quest does not end here

A New World

HE

This place is so different
From all I have seen
No trace of destruction
The land is all green

I look in their faces
How lucky they seem
I found them the places
Where they want to be

So I did my duty
They came here to stay
To go on in freedom
And live out their days

THE SENT ONE

The nightmare is over
They found a new home
For the old and the young ones
Their worries are gone

This will be a new start
The future begins
The rivers and valleys
Will cover their needs

So you did your duty
They came here to stay
To go on in freedom
And live out their days

Choir

Finally we found a home
None of us will walk alone

HE

I thought it was done now
I‘m not as relieved as I should be
The past is still painful
All this guilt won’t set me free

THE SENT ONE

So you did your duty
They came here to stay
To go on in freedom
And live out their days

Choir

Finally we found a home
None of us will walk alone

The Black Hole

THE SENT ONE

Now its done, their journey‘s ending here
He reached his goal, there’s no more fear.
This might be the start, it‘s good to stay
They’ll settle down and they will be okay

But does he know about his former life
Does he know who sent him, who planned his strive?
I don‘t think that he is aware of this
That we did not reach the expected bliss

A disappointment, the mission failed
Dispite all efforts, his strength prevailed
How could this happen, the chance is gone
There is no doubt that he‘s the one

What went wrong, we lost control
No connection to his will at all
Don’t know what he is gonna do
A desasterous mess, now it is up you

I could have stopped him right in his dreams
Your plans where different as it seems
Now I am no longer in the game
This is your fault, it is such a shame

A disappointment, the mission failed
Dispite all efforts, his strength prevailed
How could this happen, the chance is gone
There is no doubt that he‘s the one … don‘t you see, he‘s the one?

HE

My task‘s fulfilled and done
Their future seems secured
But what becomes of me
I wish that I could see

The pain still torments me
My life was just a lie
I don‘t want to live with this
I wish that I could die
