1. Passage To Hope

(Intro)

2. Seas Of Madness

Well the children of tomorrow
are knocking down your door
and screaming out
the words you heard before
we are living with the sorrow
the pain will be no more
the tide can drag you down
or back to shore

i took a ride into the future
it pulled me under
and it took my breath away

seas of madness
the night will guide the way
you're breaking out
from this masquerade
seas of madness
when will they understand?
you've washed away
circles in the sand
circles in the sand

now your pulling back the curtains
that once concealed your mind
face the truth you've lived and wasted time
things are very certain
look and you will find
years have passed you by cause you were blind

i took a ride into the future
it pulled me under
and it took my breath away

seas of madness
the night will guide the way
you're breaking out
from this masquerade
seas of madness
when will they understand
you've washed away
circles in the sand
in the sand

and now they've taken all your wisdom
and left you now with indecision
don't let them steal the air you're breathing
your gonna' sail away forever

i took a ride into the future
and what it showed me was my past
the ocean waits for my surrender
it pulls me under
and it takes my breath away

seas of madness
the night will guide the way
you're breaking out
from this masquerade
seas of madness
when will they understand
you' ve washed away
circles in the sand
circles in the sand
will you ever understand?
circles in the sand
will you ever understand?
circles in the sand

3. Followed By The Moon

You should have listened
to the masters of your mind
they tell you stories
that can twist you up inside
the only circumstance
that keeps it moving on
has taken all your strength
how could you be so wrong

there's a longing,
and deep inside it's justified
and you're close enough,
so hold out your hand

all the stars above your head
driving you to be mislead
followed by the the moon to guide the way
walk beneath a painted sky
tears and raindrops flood your eyes
followed by the the moon to guide the way
to guide the way

like all the stages of the childish masquerade
like all the seasons
they can never be the same
let it take you back
to the place you new before
a lot of pain inside but it shouldn't hurt no more

there's a longing,
and deep inside it's justified
and you're close enough,
so hold out your hand

all the stars above your head
driving you to be mislead
followed by the the moon to guide the way
walk beneath a painted sky
tears and raindrops flood your eyes
followed by the the moon to guide the way

you should have listened
now you're mislead
into submission
it's all in your head
it's all in your head

all the stars above your head
driving you to be mislead
followed by the the moon to guide the way
walk beneath a painted sky
tears and raindrops flood your eyes
followed by the the moon to guide the way
to guide the way

4. Sonic Dynamite

Listen and you will believe
echoes of screaming to give you glory
more than you'll ever conceive
thundering walls gonna tell the story
shut down the lights
release the might
tension hangs thick in the air
we got the means
so break at the seams
feeling the power you bear

stand up, the moment is right
we're gonna tear through those walls
hold on, there's no end in sight
let the music bite
the sonic dynamite
let's light it
the sonic dynamite

like a fire we can rise and fall
through the madness we can take it all
powered by the force you give to me
got the makings for a unity

now that i know that i
ain't got no time left to waste
come on and witness the final fury
you are the new founded race
surrender your mind when
you face the jury
open your eyes
see no disguise
mystical magic will rise
now you can fly
so, lets have a try
knowing there'll be no suprise

stand up, the moment is right
we're gonna tear through those walls
hold on, there's no end in sight
let the music bite

the sonic dynamite
let's light it
the sonic dynamite
don't fight it
the sonic dynamite
the sonic dynamite
the sonic dynamite

5. The Spirit

I never had a reason
to regret the path i chose
i'm driven by changing seasons
the one thing that nobody knows

there were some compromises
too late to reprimand
see through this worn disguise
i'll be wearing until the end

look at the smile they painted on my face
hiding the truth you know i'm far from grace
turning the pages of the words i've said
but the passion will never be gone
the spirit goes on

i hope this will last forever
to be in this paradise
subconsiously holds me together
i don't need no cold advice

there were some compromises
too late to reprimand
see through this worn disguise
i'll be wearing until the end

look at the smile they painted on my face
hiding the truth you know i'm far from grace
turning the pages of the words i've said
but the passion will never be gone
the spirit goes on

by the firelight i stare into the night
that looks down on me
and it's calling me to carry on this plight
let the spirit fly away
i never had a reason
to regret the path i chose
i'm driven by changing seasons
the one thing that nobody knows

too many compromises
i dont want to reprimand
more than a thin disguise
i'll be holding on till the end

look at the smile they painted on my face
hiding the truth you know i'm far from grace
turning the pages of the words i've said
but the passion will never be gone no
look at the smile they painted on my face
hiding the truth you know i'm far from grace
turning the pages of the words i've said
but the passion will never be gone
the spirit goes on
the spirit goes on
my spirit goes on

6. Speed Of Light

Darkness fades to white
through the light fantastic
never day or night
in this false illusion
lose all your fears
that have held back the years
chasing shadows
chasing shadows
tonight

you're on the info highway
change of personality
turn yourself into someone
that you just pretend to be
no trace of where you come from
been heard but never seen
you don't know where you're going
along with the machine
braking out through the line
now you're

chasing shadows in the night
faster than the speed of light
let the darkness fade to white
faster than the speed of light

been cruising off into this
virtual collective soul
no time is waisted with a password
you can take control
i know you're one of many
that knows the time is right
could this be self destruction
electric dynamite
breaking out through the line
now you're

chasing shadows in the night
faster than the speed of light
let the darkness fade to white
faster than the speed of light
with the new technology
faster than the eye can see
chasing shadows in the night
faster than the speed of light

run for your life in this paradise
roll of the dice and you don't think twice
take what you need and you prove your greed
so run for your life in this paradise

you're on the info highway
change of personality
turn yourself into someone
you could never be..

now you're
chasing shadows in the night
faster than the speed of light
let the darkness fade to white
faster than the speed of light
with the new technology
faster than the eye can see
chasing shadows in the night
faster than the speed of light

7. Waiting For The Dawn

Throw away the key
nothing else can set me free
chain me to my soul
accomplish of the crimes they've told
the day will never come
when i see the rising sun
on a rotting bed
forgotten sins run through my head

if i could be part of that
world outside my window
if i could be forgiven

forever in a rusty cage
forever i conceal this rage
although the dusk will soon be gone
alone in silence waiting for the dawn

step into my mind
tell me of the things you find
i need to understand
i'm no longer in command
forgiven i won't be
a guilty man that's all they see
shaddows on the wall
count the seconds till they fall

if i could be part of that
world outside my window
if i could be forgiven

forever in a rusty cage
forever i conceal this rage
although the dusk will soon be gone
my only choice is to go on
forever in a rusty cage
forever i conceal this rage
although the dusk will soon be gone
alone in silence waiting for the dawn

no escape
binded by the force
my heart aces
won't you set me free

if i could be part of that
world outside my window
if i could be forgiven
but i'm just livin..

forever in a rusty cage
forever i conceal this rage
although the dusk will soon be gone
my only choice is to go on
forever in a rusty cage
forever i conceal this rage
although the dusk will soon be gone
alone in silence waiting for the dawn

i'm waiting for the dawn
i'm waiting for the dawn

8. Let The Thunder Reside

Close my eyes and fall to sleep beneath the sky
in the stillness of my dreams i will confide
every day i'm loosing faith to carry on
but the instinct of a man is much too strong

we are pawns of the games
making history
and the sound makes you crumble
to your knees

why does it have to be
that everything i see
is tearing up my soul
let the thunder reside

the ringing in my ears
awakens all my fears
nowhere left to hide
let the thunder reside

i awake with hopes the game had reached an end
no more hurting of a world on which we depend
yes, we know the truth can hurt us so we're blind
but does the justice have the right to be unkind?

we are pawns of the games
making history
and the sound makes you crumble
to your knees

why does it have to be
that everything i see
is tearing up my soul
let the thunder reside

the ringing in my ears
awakens all my fears
nowhere left to hide
let the thunder reside

theres a reason to live
theres a reason to die
theres a reason for change
let the thunder fade away into forgotten yesterday
let the silence bring us peace for which we pray
the time has come to make another start
and to answer all the questions in my heart

why does it have to be
that everything i see
is tearing up my soul
let the thunder reside

the ringing in my ears
awakens all my fears
nowhere left to hide
let the thunder reside

theres a reason to live
theres a reason to die
theres a reason to give
let the thunder reside
theres a reason to live
theres a reason to die
theres a reason to give
let the thunder reside
let the thunder reside

9. Lost In Illusions

How many times can you understand?
how many times can you make amends?
how many ways can you hide your pain?
standing in the rain
running away from your sanity
open the door that makes your mind believe
shying away from a loaded gun
aiming for the sun

lost in illusions
it's your reality
how does it feel when you face the confusion?
lost in illusions
what do you wanna be
they will declare you a threat to society

how many ways can you live those lies?
playing the big shot in a blindman's eyes
spilling the blood to mark the grounds you rule
don't you play the fool
dressing yourself for your dignity
walking the streets that make you think you're free
what will you do when the well runs dry
kiss your ass goodbye

lost in illusions
it's your reality
how does it feel when you face the confusion?
lost in illusions
what do you wanna be
they will declare you a threat
a threat to society, a threat to society
a threat to society, a threat to society

your out of control
so watch what your doing
and open your eyes
the danger is in disguise

lost in illusions
it's your reality
how does it feel when you face the confusion?
lost in illusions
what do you wanna be
they will declare you a threat
a threat to society, a threat to society
a threat to society, a threat to society

10. Face Of An Angel

Looking for the answer
to get you through the day
looking for forgiveness
for the games you've played
never new the reason
for doing what you've done
honesty betrays you
and the truth is overrun

how can you lie into the face of an angel?
and now you're hiding all the cards on the table
how can you look in those eyes?
and never even realize
your going down, down, down
i guess the world is going down

feeling like a stranger
left you so alone
still not out of danger
stories have been told
there's no use denying
you should take the blame
all these years of lying
will she ever be the same?

how can you lie into the face of an angel?
and now you're hiding all the cards on the table
how can you look in those eyes
and never even realize
your going down, down, down
i guess the world is going down

just woke up, from my dream
i heard her cry
i heard her scream
does she have to suffer?
to make you understand
there can be no other
and that's the way she stands
take a good hard look
before you walk away
what a chance you took
now she's gone,gone,gone
now she's gone,gone,gone
got you on your knees

how can you lie into the face of an angel?
and now you're hiding all the cards on the table
how can you look in those eyes
and never even realize
your going down, down, down
how can you lie into the face of an angel?
and now you're hiding all the cards on the table
how can you look in those eyes
and never even realize
your going down, down, down
i guess the world is going down

11. Shattered Prophecy

Can you hear the voices
giving all the choices
writing scriptures of tomorrow
drawing pictures filled with sorrow

will there be denial
when we face the trial

shattered prophecy
on the rock of ages
shattered prophecy
now you're learning
by turning away

using more than wisdom
could you make us listen
drivin' into absolution
waiting for a contribution

will there be denial
when we face the trial

shattered prophecy
on the rock of ages
shattered prophecy
going through the stages
broken dignity
like a falling angel
shattered prophecy
now your learning
by searching turning the pages of life

will there be denial
as we face the trial
do you hear the voices
distant, long gone noises
into absolution
for the contribution
shaping new confusion

shattered prophecy
on the rock of ages
shattered prophecy
going through the stages
broken dignity
like a falling angel
shattered prophecy
now your learning
by searching turning the pages of life

12. Spread Your Wings

Off into a place where every spirit has to go
see the lines upon their faces troubled by the flow
listen to the distant thunder
claiming all the sky
now we all should realize
no one answer
no one reason why

spread your wings
and leave your worries behind
light the flame
that guides the way through your mind
show your will
that write the stories untold
spread your wings
leave the past behind
nothing more, you will find

once you were a prisoner
but now your free at last
binded by the darkness and the demons of your past
feel the magic rise within the deepness of your heart
stone for stone you built your fortress
now they've come,to tear it all apart

spread your wings
and leave your worries behind
light the flame
that guides the way through your mind
show your will
that write the stories untold
spread your wings
leave the past behind
nothing more, you will find

blinded by the circumstance's
shadowing the light
reminded by the unforgiven
lost upon the flight
destiny is long in making
some have been so shy
now we all should realize
no one answer, no one reason why

spread your wings
and leave your worries behind
light the flame
that guides the way through your mind
show your will
that write the stories untold
spread your wings
leave the past behind
nothing more, you will find
so leave your worries behind
spread your wings
