01. Leviathans....... ...
A thousand stories, they can never tell
The history of those waters deep
More than 40 million years ago
Ancestors of the whale adapt into the deep
They have flourished here, but retaining a dependence
On the sunlit world above
Mysterious strandings, we still can not explain
What drives them to such an aimless end
Pursuit by whalers over hundreds of years
The leviathans are condemned by extinction
How many died in captivity
Condemned by extinction
They are the biggest race on earth
Creatures of mystery
Like man they are mammals
Warmblooded creatures
Who must breathe to live
To live, breathe to live
They are the biggest race on earth
Masters of a dark and shadowed world
That human eyes have seldom seen
Mysterious contacts with planets for away
Their sonic senders reach beyond the sky
They send a message from the deepest of seas
Can, someone hear those calling for help
…those cries from the deep
They are the biggest race on earth
Creatures of mystery
Like man they are mammals
Warmblooded creatures
Who must breathe to live
To live, breathe to live
They are the biggest race on earth
Masters of a dark and shadowed world
That human eyes have seldom seen
Rulers of the waters deep, keepers of the balance
Swirling oceans, ebb and flood, the turning of the wheel
Legends of the ancient race, Ancestors of the breed
Giant creatures, causing fear, to animal and man
Polluted waters, the plankton will die
The biorythm is drastically disturbed
This disturbance in the chain of food
It will be the downfall of this giant race
Threatened to die out, they're building a resistance
They will fight to survive
They are the biggest race on earth
Creatures of mystery
Like man they are mammals
Warmblooded creatures
Who must breathe to live
To live, breathe to live
They are the biggest race on earth
Masters of a dark and shadowed world
That human eyes have seldom seen

02. The Watching Eye...... ...
Encaged by this power
The council of the wise
The keepers of my soul
The shadows of the night
Roaming through the city
Searching a place to hide
Trying to escape
The watching eye
Reigning the entire nation
Ruling with the iron hand
They will brainwash the masses
Programmed to act at command
Guarding the gates of the land
You can't break away
No one will escape the watching eye
You can't break away
Computerized is the centre of control
The medium of this society
You are the slave in this world of machines
No one escapes the watching eye
Captured in this world of chaos
A prisoner within those walls
I can feel this desire
This is my freedom that calls
Guarding the gates of the and
You can't break away
No one will escape the watching eye
You can't break away
Computerized is the centre of control
The medium of this society
You are the slave in this world of machines
No one escapes the watching eye
Searching for the exit
It's hidden in this place
The secret of the pattern
The way out of this maze
I can feel the power
My energy will rise
Screaming out in anger
Call of the wild
Discover this higher form of reason
Oblivion, it is the key
Deny the orders of the rulers
My spirit will set me free
Open the gates of the land
I could break away
Now you can deny the watching eye
You can break away
Computerized is the centre of control
The medium of this society
I am the ruler in this world of machines
I deceived the watching eye

03. Lady of the Lines..........
Attracted by this foreign land
She left everything behind
In search of the mystery
She walks the path, not tread before
Looking for the signs
In the desert sand
A message from the Gods?
The key of astrology?
Related to the sun?
Created by the ancestry?
The shape of things to come?
Only time will tell
What this message means
The riddle will be unfold
Written down on the cards
Hidden in the desert sand
The treasure ... the signs
The origin of everything
can be found, in the lines
Ready to be read
Like an open book
Forgotten history
Only time will tell
What this message means
The riddle will be unfold
Written down on the cards

Lady of the lines. She keeps the secret in her hand
She lived her live in solitude
All she had were the lines
She has the plan inside her head
Will take her secrets, into the grave
Blinded by the sun
Memories will last

In gratitude, she gave her heart
With passion, for the unknown

05. World Within Worlds.... ...
World within world within worlds between worlds,
deformed Worlds within worlds, our worlds...
Defy reflections, crack the mirror
Search the far side of the sun
Kill the snake, take its guts and stir 'em
Follow the lamb on the run...
Once broken the glass of the magic circle
And trapped in the other side
You're chained to rules of alien customs
And dark and frightful rites...
TIME: a certain period of insanity
PLACE: travelling through a neverending maze
Finding that every stage's the same
ADAPT: the name of the game
It just gets harder on the way
Once the hero knows his enemy
It starts to change its looks
The eyes spit claws, fingernails venom
The reaper closes the books...
The pages turned will hide the secret
Of the world that lies within
This chapter is sealed forever
A future that has been...
And the scene takes new looks...
Takes new looks / Change upon change / Shock upon shock
Burns the mind, blinds the sight
Worlds within worlds / words upon words
What's the point, where's the clue...
Live through wars and deceiving dreams
Swallowing swamps in fields of green
The black opposer in visions of love
The soaring eagle that hunts the dove...
Reflections gone, cracks in the mirror
Death has become your loot
This is fate, there's no escaping
Harmonized lies, new truth...

06. Decadence Within..... ...
Cut out the eyes
of the those who see
Into the mirror of decay
They see themselves from different sides
The one of truth, the one of lies
The glass reflects the decadence within
They see their innerself
And they will realize
The insignificance
Of the mortal life
... The decadence within
... The decadence within
Forbidden sights
For human eyes
Inside the mirror of decay
They can't catch reality
Don't understand the things they see
When future and past collide
They see their inners elf
And they will realize
The insignificance
Of the mortal life
... The decadence within
... The decadence within
Walls are tumbling down
Fire and Ice, ... Fire and Ice
Colors are fading
To black and white, ... To black and white
Echoing sighs
From left to right, ...From left to right
They keep on falling
Deeper so deep
No beginning, no end, no end, no end
Cut out the eyes
of the those who see
Into the mirror of decay
They see themselves from different sides
The one of truth, the one of lies
The glass reflects the decadence within
They see their innerself
And they will realize
The insignificance

07. Burning Grounds ...... ...
Giant mountains, forests green
Playground of my youth
Pictures of a time long past
When nature was untouched
Fading memories, now destroyed
By nuclear research
Blackened waters, barren plains
Results of the tests
The days to come seem so dark
In this time of decay
The burning grounds is where they have to live forever
They have to breathe the toxic air, feel the danger
The expectation of a decayed world comes near
Burning grounds will start the wrecking
of this Earth, of this Earth
of this Earth, of this Earth
Deformed children, twisted faces
Wild and staring eyes
Misshapen by inheritance
Are they born to die?
Victims of this polluted earth
Infected by disease
Suffering masses die in pain
An estate so wretched
The days to come seem so dark
In this time of decay
The burning grounds is where they have to live forever
They have to breathe the toxic air, feel the danger
The expectation of a decayed world comes near
Burning grounds will start the wrecking
of this Earth, of this Earth
of this Earth, of this Earth
Hidden for the media
Cut of from the world
Suppression of this silent crime
The ultimate mistake
The people of the burning grounds
Will they ever know
Who's to blame for their suffering
They will never know!

08. Forsaken Wisdom...... ...
In a abbey far away from here
In a place unknown
By murders that inflicted fear
Its secret was shown
A wise man searched for seven days
Thinking in a state of grace
Intelligence brought Him his fame
But not the secret of the name
FORSAKEN WISDOM
The ruler of the abbey
He holds every key
FORSAKEN WISDOM
The blind man
Only he can see
The centre of a grand fortress
A library
Holds a necromantic pest
A mystery
Apocalyptic was the scheme
Answers came as in a dream
To find out four days it took
They were looking for a book
FORSAKEN WISDOM
The ruler of the abbey
He holds every key
FORSAKEN WISDOM
The blind man
Only he can see
The answer nears, the end grows nigh
In a labyrinth
Behind the Idol the book lies
A literal sin
The face of the Antichrist is seen
In the faces of the Holy
Their pride is torn by flame
Of the rose remains but the name
FORSAKEN WISDOM
The ruler of the abbey
He held every key
FORSAKEN WISDOM
The blind man
Only he could see
FORSAKEN WISDOM
The ruler of the abbey
He held every key
FORSAKEN WISDOM
The meaning of His Rage
He swallowed every page
In a place unknown
By murders that inflicted fear
Its secret was shown
A wise man searched for seven days
Thinking in a state of grace
Intelligence brought Him his fame
But not the secret of the name

09. Strange Reality...... ...
I live
A dream
It takes me away
Escape the essence
This world of slavery
I pass, the door unlocked, into the light
My blood, freezes in my veins
Strange reality, before my eyes
Extreme torture for my mind
The old man plays the game of death
Will he cut the thread?
I step into this world of madness
What can I do to save my life
I fall into this pit of sadness
I can't stand this pain
I see
This man
The keeper of time
Immortal being
Who has the highest lore
He holds the lines of life of every man
His game is strange reality
Strange reality, before my eyes
Extreme torture for my mind
The old man plays the game of death
Will he cut the thread?
I step into this world of madness
What can I do to save my life
I fall into this pit of sadness
I can't stand this pain
Your future's in my hand
My wish is your command
You're in the hands of fate
No one can change his lot
This place is forbidden
For humans still alive
The darkest of all realms
Reserved for the dying
Listen ... to me
Listen ... to me
This is my decision
Return to your world
Wake up from this dream
And forget what you saw here
Obey ... my wish
Obey ... my wish
No one can change his lot
You're in the hands of fate
My wish is your command
Your future's in my hand
A dream
It takes me away
Escape the essence
