WE COME FROM NOWHERE
WELCOME TO THE STRANGE PLACE CALLED "RIGHT HERE AND NOW"
IT'S MAGIC, A MISTERY THAT NO ONE KNOWS WHY AND HOW
THE TRUTH IS PLAIN AND SIMPLE BUT CAN NOT BE DIVULGED
AND EVERY WORD THAT? SPOKEN HERE IS NO MORE THAN A LIE
SO TRY TO HEAR AND TRY TO SEE THE TRUTH BEHIND THESE LIES
WITH THE EARS OF YOUR EARS AND THE EYES OF YOUR EYES
UNSPOKEN
THERE'S NOTHING TO DO
THERE'S ONLY TO BE
THERE'S NOTHING TO SHOW
THERE'S ONLY TO SEE
NOW HERE, NOWHERE
THE TRUTH IS UNSPOKEN
YOU ARE ALONE
YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING TO LOSE
YOU ARE ALONE
YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING TO PROVE
NOW HERE, NOWHERE
THE TRUTH IS UNSPOKEN
THERE'S NOTHING TO DO
THERE'S ONLY TO BE
THERE'S NOTHING TO LOSE
THERE'S ONLY TO FEEL
ALL ONE, ALONE
THE TRUTH IS UNSPOKEN
LIONS IN A CAGE
WISH THAT I HAD BEEN BORN LONG BEFORE
MY BROTHER'S GOT ME UP AGAINST THE WALL
OF MY SIBLINGS I'M THE LUCKY ONE
LEFT ALIVE HERE WHERE THERE IS NO SUN
I WAS PUT HERE AT THE AGE OF FOUR
FIFTY ODD YEARS SPENT BEHIND A DOOR
ONE MORE DAY AND I WILL BE THE KING
PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE IT,
THEY'LL BELIEVE IN ANYTHING
SEE THE LIONS IN THE CAGE,
SEE THE VICTIMS OF THE RAGE
LIONS IN A CAGE,
FIFTY YEARS BEHIND A WALL
LIONS IN A CAGE,
SEE THOSE LIONS IN THE CAGE
THIRTEEN YARDS OF DUSTY DUNGEON FLOOR
IS THE LONGEST PATH I'VE WALKED BEFORE
THEY TOOK ME OUT INTO THE GLARING SUN
AND STILL THEY TELL ME I'M THE LUCKY ONE
SINGLE OUT THE WEAK LINK IN THE CHAIN
A GENERATION DAMAGED IN THE BRAIN
I'LL LIFT MY HEAD UP HIGH AND SEE THE SUN
AND THEN WHEN IT'S MY TURN,
I'LL MAKE SURE THAT I SPARE NO ONE
SEE THE LIONS IN THE CAGE,
SEE THE VICTIMS OF THE RAGE
LIONS IN A CAGE,
FIFTY YEARS BEHIND A WALL
LIONS IN A CAGE,
SEE THOSE LIONS IN THE CAGE
WHOSE HANDS ARE THESE?
THEY REACH IN AND TAKE MY OWN LIFE
WITH MY HANDS...
BUT I'VE KILLED MY BROTHERS, TOO.
WHEN I HAD TO
I HAVE NO DOUBT.
I HAVE NO SOUL.
WHOSE HANDS ARE THESE?
WHO TOOK AWAY THE LIGHT?
WHO HAS THE RIGHT?
WHO GIVES A DAMN!
"DO WHAT YOU WILL SHALL BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW”
PAIN
EYES ON THIS FLESH THE WINDOWS OF MY SOUL
FROM THESE I LOOK INSIDE AND SEE IT ALL
THORNS IN MY HEART AND NEEDLES IN MY BRAIN
IS PAIN INFECTIOUS OR IS IT FROM THE CORE
MY FATE IS HIDING IN THE DARK
OR IT'S MY MIND THAT STEALS THE LIGHT
HEAVY CONSCIENCE ON MY SHOULDER
CAN'T HOLD ON ANY LONGER
COLD ICE NOW
DARKNESS, KILL MY PAIN
I ASKED MY FATHER WHY HE PASSED ME BY
HE SAID I'M ALWAYS HERE AND WATCHING YOU
DON'T BE AFRAID WHEN YOU HAVE LOST YOUR WAY
FOLLOW THE SIGNS AND THEY'LL BE LEADING YOU
WHY DO I FEAR TO LEAVE THE LIE
WHEN TIME HAS COME TO SAY GOODBYE
HEAVY CONSCIENCE ON MY SHOULDER
CAN'T HOLD ON ANY LONGER
COLD ICE NOW
DARKNESS, KILL MY PAIN
"WE ARE THE ANCIENT SAGES, FOR WHOM THE SIGN IS SHOWN
FORGOTTEN ONES FROM THE REALM OF THE UNKNOWN
WITHOUT A NAME OR TRACE, IN DEATH WE SANK
AND IN THE BOOK OF TIME OUR NAMES ARE BLANK"
THIS TOO WILL PASS
I BELIEVE IN ALL THE VISIONS THAT YOU'VE MADE UP IN YOUR MIND
I BELIEVE IN THE POINT OF HERE AND NOW YOU READ THESE LINES
GOT A WORD TO SAY; JUST SAVE THE DAY
IN THE GAME YOU TAKE YOUR PART
THE EVIL GAME LIVES FOREVER MORE
WHILE EVERY PLAYER SHALL DIE
DON'T HIDE AND FEAR THE DARK
DON'T GO ASTRAY FOR LIGHT
JUST TAKE YOUR TIME TONIGHT
THIS TOO WILL PASS
FLY AWAY ON THE WINGS OF MOMENTS THAT YOU'RE BREATHING OUT
FLY AWAY, DON'T RELY ON THE WORLD IT'S TURNING ROUND AND ROUND
IT'S THE WAY WE CHOOSE AND GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
IN THE GAME WE CALL "OUR LIVES"
ALL THAT APPEARS WILL TURN TO DUST
LIKE EVERY SOUL SHALL RISE
DON'T HIDE AND FEAR THE DARK
DON'T GO ASTRAY FOR LIGHT
JUST TAKE YOUR TIME TONIGHT
THIS TOO WILL PASS
IN ESIR LIKE AN EAGLE
LONG IS THE NIGHT YOU SLEEP WITH DREAMS OF DESPERATION
POOR IS THE MIND YOU HAVE WHEN USED IN CALCULATION
AND WORSE THE LIFE YOU'LL GET WHEN CHEATED BY DESIRES
IT'S HARD TO LEAVE YOUR CHAINS OF SHINING GOLD AND ARTFUL DIAMONDS
I'VE SEEN THIS CHILD INSIDE YOU
HIDING AND FEARING THE COLD
I FEEL YOUR PAIN INSIDE ME
AND BRING YOU CURE FROM THE OLD
NO MIND NO DEVOTION, IN LIFE NO POSSESSION
INSIDE NO RELIGION, LIKE A LION IN THE JUNGLE
NOW IS THE ONLY TIME, HERE IS THE ONLY PLACE
MEANT TO BE FLYING IN ESÎR LIKE AN EAGLE
STRONG IS THE ARMOUR THAT YOU'VE BUILT TO SAVE YOU FROM YOUR PAST
AND COOL IS THE MASK YOU WEAR THAT SERVES YOU TO FULFIL YOUR LUST
BUT KNOW THE GAMES YOU PLAY ARE MADE OF LIES AND FALSE ILLUSIONS
YOU BETTER LEAVE THEM NOW 'CAUSE ALL WILL TURN TO DUST IN YOUR HANDS
I'VE SEEN THIS CHILD INSIDE YOU
HIDING AND FEARING THE COLD
I FEEL YOUR PAIN INSIDE ME
AND BRÄ°NG YOU CURE FROM THE OLD
NO MIND NO DEVOTION, IN LIFE NO POSSESSION
INSIDE NO RELIGION, LIKE A LION IN THE JUNGLE
NOW IS THE ONLY TIME, HERE IS THE ONLY PLACE
MEANT TO BE FLYING IN ESIR LIKE AN EAGLE
FOR THE ONE UNCHANGING
IN THE LIGHTS OF EDEN, IT'S ME YOU'RE FEELING
IN THE COLD DECEMBER, STILL IT'S ME YOU'LL FACE
IN ALL THE LIES I'VE TOLD YOU, IT'S TRUTH YOU SHALL FIND
IN ALL THE NAMES I'VE GIVEN YOU, IT'S ME YOU'LL UNDERSTAND
NOW THE WAITING IS OVER AND IT'S VAIN TO DENY
BE RELIEVED FROM DESIRES, BE AWAKE, OPEN YOUR EYES
TIME IS FLOWING AND THE WORLD IS TURNING
WORDS NOW SPOKEN FOR THE ONE UNCHANGING
IN ALL THE PAIN I'VE SHOWN YOU, THERE'S HOPE YOU SHALL SEE
WITH ALL THE FEAR I'VE GÄ°VEN YOU, IT'S LOVE YOU'LL UNDERSTAND
NOW THE WAITING IS OVER AND IT'S VAIN TO DENY
BE RELIEVED FROM DESIRES, WAKE UP! OPEN YOUR SLEEPLESS EYES
DARK THOUGHTS IN YOUR MIND WILL BRING YOU TEARS
LIKE THE DARK CLOUDS IN THE SKY BRINGING RAIN
ANGER IN YOUR HEART WILL MAKE YOUR FEARS GROW
LIKE THE THUNDER IN THE SKY SCREAMS IN PAIN
TAKE MY TIME
POOR VICTIMS OF DELUSION
POOR MINDS TO QUESTION WHO WE ARE
OR AMPLIFIED IGNORANCE
PRAYERS TO BE SAVED FROM THE DARK
I'VE BUILT THE WALLS AROUND ME,
NOW I'M TO BE ALONE INSIDE
IT'S NO COMPLAINT AT ALL,
I TAKE MY TIME
AND LIFE GOES ON AND ON WITH NO DECISION
CRAVEN SOULS OF DESPERATION
BREED LIES TO TRUST IN WHO WE ARE
OR MINDLESS GAZE OF THE APE MAN
REFLECTING WHAT'S BEEN AUTOMIZED
I VIEW A LITTLE SKY HERE,
AND TRYING NOT TO LOSE IT ALL
CONTENT WITH MY OWN,
I TAKE MY TIME
AND LIFE GOES ON AND ON WITH NO DECISION
I KNOW THE WORLD IS CONFUSING,
I NEED SOME TIME TO BE ALONE
AND EVERYTHING I FEAR LOSING,
TORTURES MY SOUL ALL ALONG
ISOLATION, ISOLATION...
BLAZING MY TRAIL
RIGHT HERE WAITING IN SILENCE
NO PLACE TO RUN TOO DARK TO SEE
LIES OF THE PAST AND DREAMS OF THE FUTURE
ARE NOT ENOUGH HERE TO DEFINE ME
ISOLATION, ISOLATION...
DRIVES ME INSANE
I'VE BUILT THE WALLS AROUND ME,
NOW I’M TO BE ALONE INSIDE
IT'S NO COMPLAINT AT ALL,
I TAKE MY TIME
AND LIFE GOES ON AND ON WITH NO DECISION
PURATU
OUT FROM THE MOUNTAIN,
TO REACH THE OCEAN
I NEED NO REASON,
ONLY THE MOTION
FLOW INTO NOWHERE
AND WASH AWAY THE LIES
I'VE NO FEAR OF LOSING
WHAT YOU SEE IS NOT MINE
FOR I LEAVE NO FOOTPRINTS
ON THE SANDS OF TIME
I ONLY WITNESS
AND TRUST IN MY OWN SOURCE
LIKE ALL RIVERS DO,
RUNNING THE COURSE
BLEEDING IN DEEPER
TO REACH THE LOWEST GROUND
I'VE NO FEAR OF LOSING
WHAT YOU SEE IS NOT MINE
FOR I LEAVE NO FOOTPRINTS
ON THE SANDS OF TIME
OUT FROM THE MOUNTAIN,
REACHING THE OCEAN
KNOW THAT YOU'LL MEET ME
FROM ALL DIRECTIONS
AS THE FINAL CURTAIN
FALLS BEFORE YOUR EYES
