Syzygy
WHEN SUN, MOON AND EARTH FALL INTO ALIGNMENT,
THE SUN'S LIGHT CAN VANISH BEHIND THE MOON.
SO TOO CAN THE SUN OF CIVILIZATION - REASON,
HUMANISM, UNDERSTANDING, AND EMPATHY -
BE OBSCURED WHEN SOMETHING MOVES BETWEEN US AND ITS LIGHT.
Eclipse
NOW THE NIGHT HAS COME
THE FIRST BODIES ARE IN
POINT BLANK SHOTS FIRED
PLAIN TRUTH BEING DENIED
ALL THE WONDERS HANG
BY A THIN SILVER THREAD
CRUSHED AND KILLED BY HATE
SUCKED DRY BY COLD GREED
WE HELD FATE IN OUR HANDS
THE PROMISED LANDS
WE HAVE BEEN ON THE WAY
HERE'S THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT
HERE'S THE WAR OF THE TRIBES
ALL THE BEAUTY WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR
HERE THE STORY'S ENDING
IF WE LET THE DARK SIDE WIN THIS WAR
BLACK COAT, SKULLS AND RUNES
BEEN A GHOST FROM THE PAST
RISING FROM THEIR GRAVES
REACHING FOR POWER
WORN IN MANY SHAPES
BUT THE ROTTEN CORE STAYS
RED CAPS OR BLUE HEARTS
AND MASKS OF ORDER
WE HELD FATE IN OUR HANDS
THE PROMISED LANDS
WE HAVE BEEN ON THE WAY
HERE'S THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT
HERE'S THE WAR OF THE TRIBES
ALL THE BEAUTY WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR
HERE THE STORY'S ENDING
IF WE LET THE DARK SIDE WIN THIS WAR
FILTHY RICH CONTROLLING MASS HYPNOSIS
FOR BLOODTHIRSTY SHEEP
WILDEST DREAMS OF DYSTOPIA
LEADING US RIGHT INTO THE ECLIPSE
FOR THIS WORLD WE HAD BUILT
FOR THIS WORLD WE FIGHT BACK
MOON IS MOVING IN FOR THE ECLIPSE
NO, WE WON'T LET THEM WIN THIS WAR
Colours
FROZEN BLOOD
ON THE HANDS OF ICE TONIGHT
EMPATHY WAS CALLED A CRIME
BUT NOT IN OUR NAME
POISONED WORDS
TURNING NEIGHBORS INTO PREY
EVERY LIE, EVERY FEAR THEY WILL SELL
BUT NOT IN OUR NAME
THOUSAND VOICES RISING STRONGER
WE WILL STAND, WE WILL RISE
ALL OUR COLOURS BLAZING
WE WILL STAND, WE WILL RISE
LET THEM SHINE NOW
LET THEM SHINE AND RISE
NOW
WE ARE PROUD
BORN IN COLOURS THEY DENY
LOVE DECLARED A HERESY
BUT NOT IN OUR NAME
BRAVE NEW WORLD
LOOKING RATHER SAD IN GREY
EVERY COLOUR IS TURNING THIS NIGHT INTO A BRIGHTER DAY
WE WILL STAND, WE WILL RISE
ALL OUR COLOURS BLAZING
WE WILL STAND, WE WILL RISE
LET THEM SHINE NOW LET THEM SHINE AND RISE
ALL OUR COLOURS BLAZING
LET THEM SHINE AND RISE
YOU WILL NOT TAKE THIS WORLD FROM US
WHAT WE BUILT IS FOR ALL OF US
MAY THE DAY COME YOU UNDERSTAND
LIGHT IS MADE OF A THOUSAND DIFFERENT COLOUR SHADES
WE WILL STAND, WE WILL RISE ALL
OUR COLOURS BLAZING
WE WILL STAND, WE WILL RISE
LET THEM SHINE NOW
LET THEM SHINE
WE WILL STAND, WE WILL RISE
ALL OUR COLOURS BLAZING
WE WILL STAND, WE WILL RISE
LET THEM SHINE NOW
LET THEM SHINE AND RISE
NOW
The Shannon's Home
WIDE AND SILENT I DO FLOW
THROUGH THE MEANDERS OF OLD
PASSING MEADOWS
HIDDEN SHADOWS
LADEN WITH THEIR WOE
GONE IS THE FORCE OF WATERS WILD
BRINGING NATURE'S NEWBORN CHILD
OPEN REACHES
GENTLE RIPPLES
CARRYING ME SLOW
TAKE ME HOME, TAKE ME HOME
TO THE GOLDEN FIELDS
TAKE ME DOWN TO THE RIVER
WITH THE FALLEN LEAVES
TAKE ME HOME, ALL THE WAY SO WE'RE
ALWAYS GONNA STAY
A PART OF THE WOVEN STORY
QUIET LITTLE WHISPERS GUIDE ME ON
THROUGH THE STREAMS OF WHAT'S BEGUN
DRIFTING, FLOATING
ECHOES FADING
BEARING ALL I'VE EVER KNOWN
LOST ARE THE SONGS I USED TO SING
THEY ARE DRIFTING ON THE WIND
OCEANS CALLING
I AM GOING
WHERE ALL RIVERS END
TAKING ME BACK WHERE I WILL MEET MY ORIGIN
BRINGING ME BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
ALL OF YOU WATCHING HOW THE SUN SETS, KNOWING
YOU WILL TOO HAVE TO COME
WORDS UNSPOKEN UNDERNEATH
MEELICK RAPIDS' THUNDERING TIDES
PEACE IS BROKEN, TORN FROM SHEATH
WOUNDED SILENCE TWISTS AND DENIES
ALL THAT'S BEEN FLOATING DOWN THE STREAM
ALL THE WATERS COME INTO THE LIGHT
SOON THEY SING OF THE BLISS THEY BRING
WHEN ONCE WE FIND LIFE
TAKE ME HOME
TAKE ME HOME, TAKE ME HOME TO THE GOLDEN FIELDS
TAKE ME DOWN TO THE RIVER WITH THE FALLEN LEAVES
TAKE ME HOME, ALL THE WAY SO WE'RE ALWAYS GONNA STAY
A PART OF THE WOVEN STORY
TAKE ME HOME
COME CARRY ON
BEEN SUCH A LONG WAY
BUT IT'S ALWAYS LEADING HOME
TAKE ME HOME
COME CARRY ON
BEEN SUCH A LONG WAY
BUT I KNOW WE'LL ALL BE COMING HOME
The Grand Delusion
DEEP IN HOLY WATER YOU ARE FEEDING
OUR BEAST WITH BLOOD
CALLING IT REDEMPTION,
AN ILLUSION THAT YOU NEED LIKE A DRUG
ATROCITIES CARVED ON EVERY PAGE
EACH LINE A SPARK FOR NEW WARS OF FAITH
LEAVING THIS MARK, OUR WORLD IN THE DARK
OF THIS TALE UP TO THIS AGE
TRIBAL POISON
JUDGMENT BY DEAD MEN
STOLEN VOICES
OUR SACRED DIVIDE
PEACEFUL ONLY WHEN NOT IN POWER
JUST ONE MORE...
STONING EVERY FREEDOM, FOR IT'S LEAVING YOU TERRIFIED
HIDING BEHIND VEILS, DEHUMANIZED, MISOGYNIST PARADISE
THIS OLD DEFENCE:
MORALITY NEEDS HEAVEN'S HAND AND HELL REVEALED
BUT ALL I SEE YOUR HUNGRY BEAST ON A LEASH
TRIBAL POISON
JUDGMENT BY DEAD MEN
STOLEN VOICES
OUR SACRED DIVIDE
PEACEFUL ONLY WHEN NOT IN POWER
JUST ONE MORE...
JUST ONE MORE LIE!
FACE OF MANKIND
MASK OF HEAVEN
FACE OF MANKIND
CROWN OF TERROR
AGENDAS TURNED INTO STORIES
GASLIGHTING FOR CENTURIES
BY-PRODUCT OF CHILDREN'S PRIMAL TRUST
ABUSED AND TWISTED TO HORRORS
WHILE FEW KEPT REASON BURNING BRIGHT
TO OVERCOME
THIS GRAND DELUSION
Wave Of Tanis
FIRE IN THE SKY
NOW THE KINGS ARE GONE FOREVER
GIANTS OF THEIR TIME
BUT WE WILL SURVIVE
WE ARE THE NEW KIND
HERE, LYING SILENT IN GREY STONE
STORIES WRITTEN IN THEIR BONES
CROWN OF FIRE FELL FROM BLOODRED SKIES
THEIR ROAR RUNS DEEP IN THE ROOTS OF MANKIND
COLLECTIVE MEMORIES OF VANITY
MAJESTIES OF THE WORLD
BEFORE THE BIG WAVE WASHED THEM AWAY
WASHED THEM ALL AWAY
FIRE IN THE SKY
NOW THE KINGS ARE GONE FOREVER
GIANTS OF THEIR TIME
BUT WE WILL SURVIVE
WE ARE THE NEW KIND
HERE WE ARE FIGHTING OVER GOLD
PREY HAS CHANGED, THE GAME IS OLD
THE NEXT CARD HAS TURNED, A NEW ROUND STARTS
WATERS RISING, A NEW STORM COMING
WE FORGE IT OURSELVES, THE FALLING HAMMER
TIME WILL TELL IF WE'LL VANISH
AND DISAPPEAR ALL THE SAME
VANISH ALL THE SAME
FIRE IN THE SKY
NOW THE KINGS ARE GONE FOREVER
GIANTS OF THEIR TIME
BUT WE WILL SURVIVE
WE ARE THE NEW KIND
NO SECOND CHANCE IN THIS GAME
NO CHEATS WILL LET YOU ESCAPE
IF WE VANISH ALL THE SAME
A NEW KIND SINGS:
FIRE IN THE SKY
NOW THE KINGS ARE GONE FOREVER
GIANTS OF THEIR TIME
BUT WE WILL SURVIVE
WE ARE THE NEW KIND
FIRE IN THE SKY
NOW THE KINGS ARE GONE FOREVER
GIANTS OF THEIR TIME
BUT WE WILL SURVIVE
WE ARE THE NEW KIND
WE ARE THE NEW KIND
Northstar
ON THIS PATH THAT LEADS THROUGH THE NIGHT
SCARS OF A THOUSAND STORMS
WE'VE JUST BEGUN TO REACH FOR THE LIGHT
WAR HAS BEEN CAST ON OUR SHORES
IN THE DARKEST OF TIMES
WE DO HOLD EACH OTHER'S HANDS
A TYRANT WE SEE, A TSAR IN HIS DREAMS
KILLING FOR VANITY
OLD BONDS DISDAINED, WITH FIRE THAT RAINS
DOWN ON THE JEWELS OF EAST
WE WILL STAND LIKE THE MOUNTAINS
WE'LL DEFY UNTIL THE END
THERE'S NOTHING I'LL FEAR, WE STAND SIDE BY SIDE
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN'T ENDURE WITH GUIDING LIGHTS
ONCE WE'RE FREE AGAIN, WE WILL OVERCOME
WE WILL BURY THE PAST AND BELONG, WE WILL BE ONE
WITH THE STARS
ACROSS THE OCEAN A KING WANTS HIS CROWN
HIDING HIS SINFUL PAST
"FURY" OF LIES, BLACK GOLD OVER LIVES
OUR FREEDOM IS NOT WHAT HE ASKS
WE WILL STAND LIKE THE MOUNTAINS
WE'LL DEFY UNTIL THE END
RISE AGAIN
HOPE IS YOUR FORGOTTEN NAME
HUMANKIND
LOST ON YOUR WAY TO THE LIGHT
ALL THIS TIME
STARS GUIDING THE WAY FOR YOU
THROUGH THE DARK OF YOUR MIND
BUT YOU CLOSED YOUR EYES
RISE AGAIN
FROM THE COLD THAT'S IN YOUR HEART
RISE ABOVE
YOU CAN FORGE YOUR OWN PATH
ON THIS PATH OUR STORY WE WRITE
SCARS OF A THOUSAND GRAVES
WE'VE JUST BEGUN TO REACH FOR THE LIGHT
THE NORTHSTAR SHOWS THE WAY
NORTHSTAR - A SYMBOL OF GUIDANCE IN A WORLD SHAPED BY REASON,
HUMANISM, UNDERSTANDING, AND EMPATHY
Masquerade
KISSING THE SKY
WE'RE BACK FROM THE DEAD
THE WORLD HAS TURNED INTO A MASQUERADE
THEATRICAL PLAY
ALL THE BARDS DRESSED AS KNIGHTS
WHILE SINGING A BOUGHT SERENADE
HEROES ON STAGE
BUT NO WAVING FLAGS
WHEN THE REAL WORLD IS CALLING FOR KNIGHTS
IN TIMES OF THE DARK
THEY'RE CHASING FOR GOLD
IT MAY NOT FOREVER BE SHINING
ON AND ON, A DANCE ON THE GRAVES
FALLEN LEAVES ON DREAMS WE ONCE SHARED
WHERE ARE THE WONDERS
OF FIRES AND DARK STARRY NIGHTS?
WHERE IS THE MAGIC, THE HEART OF A CHILD?
WE KEEP ON CHASING AND WE KEEP IT BURNING
THE DREAM THAT WILL NEVER DIE
HERE WE ARE NOW
NO TRICKS AND NO SPELLS
ONLY THE SCARS WE ARE EARNING
ALMOST FEEL CURSED
LIKE STRANGERS OUTCAST
BUT WE STAND AT THE HELM OF OUR JOURNEY
ON AND ON WITH WINDS IN OUR FACE
SIDE BY SIDE THROUGH RAGING WAVES
WHERE ARE THE WONDERS
OF FIRES AND DARK STARRY NIGHTS?
WHERE IS THE MAGIC, THE HEART OF A CHILD?
WE KEEP ON CHASING AND WE KEEP IT BURNING
THE DREAM THAT WILL NEVER DIE
WHO IS THE MASTER OF FAME
WHO IS THE KING IN THIS STRANGE CARNIVAL
CARNIVAL
WHERE ARE THE WONDERS TONIGHT?
WHERE IS THE MAGIC, MY CHILD?
WE KEEP ON CHASING AND WE KEEP ON HOLDING
THE DREAM THAT WILL NEVER DIE
WHERE ARE THE WONDERS
OF FIRES AND DARK STARRY NIGHTS?
WHERE IS THE MAGIC, THE HEART OF A CHILD?
WE KEEP ON CHASING AND WE KEEP IT BURNING
THE DREAM THAT WILL NEVER DIE
THE DREAM THAT WILL NEVER DIE
WHO WILL BE KING IN THIS STRANGE CARNIVAL?
The Last Generation
ONCE WE WONDERED
WHAT WE WOULD BECOME
IN A BRIGHT, BOLD WORLD WE'D ALL BELONG
SIXTY-EIGHT WAS A SILVER LINING
BREAKING THROUGH THE CRUST OF TIME
ONLY FOR THE DARK RETURNING
AND WE HAVE SEEN ALL THE SIGNS
HOW CAN WE LOOK INTO CHILDREN'S EYES
(WHAT ARE YOU LEAVING FOR US?)
WHAT DO WE TEACH IF WE NEVER LEARN?
(WHAT FUTURE?)
THE FIGHT TO BE ENDING ALL THE FIGHTS
IT NEVER FEELS RIGHT
CAN WE LEAVE BEHIND THIS ENDLESS NIGHT
FRIDAY'S CHILDREN
SHOW US WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE BRAVE, RAISE YOUR VOICE AGAINST MACHINES
WARRIORS CARRIED FROM THE STREETS
HEROES BRANDED TERRORISTS
PLAYING FUTURE'S LOTTERY
AND NO ONE'S STOPPING THE WHEEL
HOW CAN WE LOOK INTO CHILDREN'S EYES
(WHAT ARE YOU LEAVING FOR US?)
WHAT DO WE TEACH IF WE NEVER LEARN?
(WHAT FUTURE?)
THE FIGHT TO BE ENDING ALL THE FIGHTS
IT NEVER FEELS RIGHT
CAN WE LEAVE BEHIND THIS ENDLESS NIGHT
WE ARE HERE - IT'S OUR WORLD
WE ARE HERE - IT'S OUR TIME
HOW CAN WE SACRIFICE
HOW CAN WE GIVE IT UP
HOW CAN WE VICTIMIZE
THE ONES TO BE OUR FUTURE
NO MORE LIES
ALL THE HYPOCRISY
THE PROFIT POLITICS
FM GETTING SICK OF IT, SICK OF IT
NO MORE SONGS
WITHOUT A VOICE THAT COUNTS
THERE IS NO TIME TO LOSE
TO LET THEM HAVE A FUTURE
ONE MORE CHANCE
IS IT STILL IN OUR HANDS?
AND OUR TIME IS RUNNING, TIME IS RUNNING FASTER
TIME IS RUNNING, TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR US
The Poetry Of The Real World
THROUGH THE AEONS BLEAK
OF STARDUST TAKING SHAPE
SILENT LAWS BEGAN TO WEAVE
THE FRAGILE THREAD OF LIFE NOW
A MILLION CROSSROADS TRAVELLED
FOR A CONSCIOUS MIND
GAZING AT THIS COSMIC POETRY
AND WONDERING HOW
BEAUTY LIES IN EVERY SINGLE VERSE LINE
SO PERFECT WITHOUT AN AUTHOR'S GRAND DESIGN
NO HOLIES
NO SINNERS
ALL WE ARE IS A STORY'S WINNERS
THE TALE OF THE WONDER OF LIFE
NO HEAVEN
NO HELLFIRE
ALL IS WAVES IN A SPARKLING UNIVERSE
THIS IS SO MUCH MORE - A POEM OF THE WORLD
A POEM OF THE WORLD
ONCE WE LEARNED TO QUESTION,
POISON FILLED OUR VOID
EVERY SEEKER ENDED BURNING
ON THE STAKE OF TRUE FAITH
STARLIGHT TELLS A FAR MORE WONDROUS TALE
IT'S WAITING RIGHT BEYOND THE SERMON'S VEIL
NO HOLIES
NO SINNERS
ALL WE ARE IS A STORY'S WINNERS
THE TALE OF THE WONDER OF LIFE
NO HEAVEN
NO HELLFIRE
ALL IS WAVES IN A SPARKLING UNIVERSE
THIS IS SO MUCH MORE - A POEM OF THE WORLD
WE'RE ALL MADE OF DUST
DUST OF THE STARS
Lore
STORM IS RAGING IN DISTANT STARLIGHT
THE EMPEROR'S REACHING FOR THE THRONE
IN SECRET HE'S PLAYING EVERY SIDE
VERY SOON THE REPUBLIC FALLS
THE REIGN OF THE DARK SIDE HAS COME
BUT THERE ARE GOOD HEARTS AND A NEW HOPE
REBELS BESIDE A NEWFOUND SON
WHO WITHSTANDS THE TEMPTATION
OF FEAR, HATE, LEADING TO SUFFERING
LIGHT WINS AT LAST - BUT WOULD WE RESIST THE SAME?
SING WITH THE WIND BUT HEED ITS WARNING
WORDS OF OLD WISDOM FOR YOUR WORLD
CHEER TO THE HEROES NOT FOR GLORY
BOW TO THE TRUTH THEIR STORIES TELL
RUN WITH THE HUNTED THROUGH THE SHADOWS
MOURN WHEN THE LIGHT SEEMS LOST AND BARE
IN THE END, LAST PAGE TURNED
BOW TO THE TRUTH THEIR STORIES SHARE
LORE, WE'RE WATCHING IT ALL UNFOLDING
ON SILVERY SCREENS, FROM ANCIENT TIMES
A MIRROR OF DANGERS YET TO COME FOR US
AND WHO WILL BE WITH THE REBELS
AND WHO WILL BE ON THE EASY WAY
TO JOINING THE DARK SIDE DESPITE
ALL THE WISE WORDS THAT ONCE HAVE BEEN PRAISED
HATE, MISTAKEN FOR JUSTICE AND RIGHT
DARK WINS AT LAST - WHEN THE STORY'S TRUTH'S DEFIED
WHAT A TWISTED WORLD
WITH A TWISTED MEMORY
WILL WE EVER LEARN
ALL THE STORIES TOLD
ALL OF HISTORY REPEATS
WILL WE EVER LEARN
THRONES FOR EMPERORS
NO FANTASY TALE-THIS IS OUR WORLD
WHAT A WONDROUS LIFE
WHAT A WONDROUS MIND WE HOLD
CAN WE CHERISH IT
OUR BETTER SIDE
ALL THE GOOD THAT WE COULD DO
CAN WE CHERISH IT
ONE DAY OUR OWN STORY WILL BE TOLD
OUR STORY WILL BE TOLD
OUR STORY WILL BE TOLD
OUR STORY WILL BE TOLD
WILL BE TOLD
