[Beyond The Gates]



Time - passing as the world changed it's face

Past - all that used to be not a trace

Now - all that was is gone can't you see



Always questions



What - happened to our world different now

Why - answers can't be found tell me how

Now - dissolution is all I see



As I meandered this world I saw strange faces

I've seen some gastly bizarre phenomenon

Such desolation and pain I can't describe it

But always something was there that led me on



Never saw place like this

How can such a place exist

Brotherhood of happiness

Inviting me I can't resist

How can such a thing exist

Inviting me I can't resist

Brotherhood of happiness

Never saw place like this

Never saw a...



The priests gave us reason

Brought hope to our season

They gave us the will to servive

It's healthy and clean here

It's just like a dream here

Just thank the priests you're alive



I had a vision - then it was gone

Something there I just can't put my finger on



Crys - from the other side calling me

Lies - message from beyond curse the priests

Why - I don't understand

Share the feast



Cataclismic



Dark - figures in the midst help denied

Death - tightening it's fist no reply

Rage - tell me what is this paradox



And as the people all dance in celebration

They seem so happy and so preoccupied

Somehow I don't understand this fascination

I think it all will be clear when I'm inside



Where did all these priests come from

What kind of men have you become

Serve and never question why

Worship Talons from the sky

What lies beyong the golden gate

A journey of uncertain fate

Serve and never question why

Serve and never question why

Question why



It's nicer that nice here

A real paradise here

It's really too good to believe

There's growing in knowing

And that's where I'm going

The gates are prepared to receive,

Receive - me

[Days Of Betrayal]



Gates far behind

Priests out of mind

Endless the night

Nocturnal flight

Eyes in the dark,

Wait for the spark

Waste everywhere...



Peril in sight

Pray for the light

Phantoms in black

Mutants attack

Bareskin and bone

Hunger the hone

No apathy

For what I see



The tunnel in the mountainside

Looks like a place to hide

Descending into darkness now

A chamber deep inside



Days of betrayal



Automation

Screen coming on

Ancient machines

What does it mean

Bio chip here

Message of fear

Shocking the view

Morbid and true



A chance to save the human race

Chaos we can avoid

A mighty power out of place

That has to be destroyed



Days of betrayal



The end of the begining of

What is but never really was

Now press on and go beyond

I could try a million times

And cry until the end of time,

But it won't change a thing



[Restless]

[instrumental]



[Sanctuary]



Don't believe all that you see

'Cause it can never be

Truth could be there in disguise

So never trust your eyes

Wandering aimless through time

Wondering what I will find

So many years on my own

No place I can call home



A dome upon the hill - stare

What can that building be - sound

I hear a melody - look

That's my philosophy - wait

The truth is for the brave -

And it's like a tidal wave now



Entities all dressed in white

No end in sight

Some giants, some little ones

Where are they from

Packed inside this mega - dome

Why have they come

Where are all these giants from

Why have they come



My eyes are playing tricks on me

These things I really can't believe

They've got thhe heads of human men

And the bodies of machines

Who are these anroid masterminds

And what will all this mean for me

Possessing knoledge so incredible

I know They speak the truth indeed



Can this be a fantasy

Mirage of what I want to see

A sanctuary can it really be

Just follow me - I've got the key

So follow me - You will see



Just follow me - I've got the key - So follow me

You will see - So follow me - I've got the key

You will agree - I guarantee - Sanctuary

Just follow me - And you will find

Safe inside - Out of sight - And out of mind



Each of us cell inside

All satisfied

A body of perfection

And we are one

Entities dressed in white

No end in sight

The plase I long to be Sanctuary



The giants paid a high price

For their artificial life

They guard the truths of all mankind you see

So intellect can thrive

Condemned to be the slaves of time they are

They can never touch or feel

Things are never what they seem to be

Eternity to them is real
