Requiem Aeternam

Requiem aeternam, requiem aeternam,
Dona eis Domine, requiem aeternam,
Et lux perpetua, luceat eis,
Requiem aeternam, dona eis Domine
Is this Heaven I can see?
Are these feelings of ecstasy?
Or is it agony? I can’t tell.
Could I be on the road to Hell?
All I wanted was to be with you.
Now I wonder if that lie is true.
Where then are you, why aren’t you here?
I feel forsaken and full of fear.
One moment I’m pulsating deep with love,
And the next, I panic as I fly above.
There’s a moment between pleasure and pain,
When being in Heaven or Hell feels just the same.
I long to have you forever until,
We sleep in eternity with no more needs to fill.
I’m going dark now, with cold mist all around.
I’m losing touch with sight and sound.
Keep me with you in your heart.
Never forsake me while we are apart.
My memory’s fading slowly into the light,
And now all is dark, and I have no sight.
Requiem aeternam, requiem aeternam,
Dona eis Domine, requiem aeternam,
Et lux perpetua, luceat eis,
Requiem aeternam, dona eis Domine
Is this Heaven I can’t see?
Where are those feelings of ecstasy?
Oh this is agony, I can tell.
Now I know, I’m on my way to Hell.

Dangerous Obsession
06:19
|
|||
|
I’m watching you, but you cannot see.
She’s not the one for you, it should be me.
She’s just an obstacle to be removed.
I’ll bide my time and then I’ll make my move.
Say “goodbye”, you will no longer need her.
She will be, just a faded and cold memory.
The headlines read that a girl has died.
And there is mention of a suicide.
But theories change and speculations mount.
Her boyfriend’s disappeared and can’t be found.
There can be no other innocent reason.
Why would he have left her to perish alone?
There can be no other innocent reason.
Why would he have left her to perish alone?
Don’t be afraid, I will keep you here.
I wouldn’t harm you, there’s no need to fear,
And just as long as I am satisfied,
You’ll never need another place to hide.
Don’t feel sad this is part of the plan.
Now you’re free just to live out your life here with me.
Don’t feel sad this is part of the plan.
Now you’re free just to live out your life here with me.
Nobody knows of this secret place.
So staying here with me will keep you safe.
They’ll never find you, but they won’t forget.
In time you’ll cherish me with no regret.
So my love we are bound here together.
Knowing you will never be able to leave.
We will live with our strange kind of pleasure.
Knowing you will never be able to leave.

Future Shock
07:16
|
|||
|
I never thought you’d leave me standing.
I never thought I’d be here alone.
I never thought you cared about the glory.
Now you take your place upon the throne.
Where are you when the dream is over?
Will you know how to sleep again?
You never felt so tired and sober.
Will your waking state ever end?
There comes a time when we must face the truth and stop the dreaming,
And look upon the Future Shock.
Not knowing when to do it, how to see it, or when to wake up.
It’s all just part of a Future Shock.
You make the feeble pray to minyans.
Then you make the priests pay you well.
All this power for a madman.
So much greed for a soul to sell.
And now you see that the dream is over.
Do you see that this is the end?
You feel so sick and all hung over.
What would you give to sleep again?
Holding on, you grasp for all that’s sacred.
On an angel’s wing and a serpent’s prayer.
No more freedom for the faithless.
You’ve been cast out, that’s your cross to bear.
You can’t believe that the dream is over.
Did you really think it would never end?
The cost of life couldn’t get much lower.
There’s no more ego to defend.
There comes a time when we must face the truth and stop the dreaming,
And look upon the Future Shock.
Not knowing when to do it, how to see it, or when to wake up.
It’s all just part of a Future Shock.

The Moment
05:18
|
|||
|
I never thought this through before.
But now there’s knocking on my door.
It’s finally here.
It feels so strange, and yet so right.
But as I step into the light,
I see no way clear.
Caught in a time.
Trapped in a moment waiting,
To see my destiny unfold.
To face the past,
Accept the consequences,
In a meeting with my soul.
It seems so real but as I wait,
And from the dream I start to wake.
It’s changing again.
There’s no more worries, no more fear.
But then I start to shed a tear,
For those who remain.
Caught in a time.
Trapped in a moment waiting,
To see my destiny unfold.
To face the past,
Accept the consequences,
In a meeting with my soul.
And so I wait with silent breath.
No more of life, nor yet of death.
Suspended in time.
Is this my future or my past?
Will this transition be my last?
To deliver me home.
I never thought this through before.
But now there’s knocking on my door.
It’s finally here.
It feels so strange, and yet so right.
But as I step into the light,
I see no way clear.
Caught in a time.
Trapped in a moment waiting.
To see my destiny unfold.
To face the past,
Accept the consequences,
In a meeting with my soul.

Under The Sun
07:12
|
|||
|
There’s a voice I can hear.
As it moves ever closer, I am near.
His face is the face of a friend.
There’s no need to pretend.
No more struggle to bear.
No more needing to care.
He has the face of a friend.
There’s no need to pretend.
Come and capture me and take me away.
We fly on over the sea.
The wind is rushing with no words to be said.
With only a new land to see.
With wild horses and fields made of grain.
Gentle elders escape from the rain.
While children all dance and they run.
Over the moon and under the sun.
Under the sun.
Under the sun.
Under the sun.
Under the sun.

Who Can Say
05:31
|
|||
|
I lie awake at night.
And while I’m waiting for my dreams to come and take me,
I wouldn’t be surprised, to see you by my side.
I drift into the night,
With the knowledge and the comfort of your presence.
But something isn’t right. I can see it in your eyes.
Who can say these dreams are not real?
And who can say, that in these dreams I can’t feel?
The look upon your face,
Is transforming into something unfamiliar.
The caress of your warm breath is burning me instead.
A chill is in the air.
With something sinister and strange about to happen,
And pleasure turns to pain, I’m feeling it again.
Who can say these dreams are not real?
And who can say, that in these dreams I can’t feel?
Who can say these dreams are not real?
And who can say, that in these dreams I can’t feel?
The Nightmare has begun.
The blood’s pulsating through my veins now.
I don’t want to suffer this torment,
Again and again.
Who can say these dreams are not real?
And who can say, that in these dreams I can’t feel?

At The Crossing
05:39
|
|||
|
I only travel alone, so as to keep them away.
And if I never fear, I will keep the wolves at bay.
And if they strike me again, I will fight with all I can,
To meet my maker now, in a strange new land.
There is a time for me. There is a time for you.
We’ll meet at the crossing, and see who is who.
Is this really the end, or am I starting again?
My faith’s final test, or my fate’s final pain?
Don’t close those shackles yet. Don’t make me walk my last steps.
The noose is getting tighter, as I take my last breath.
There is a time for me. There is a time for you.
We’ll meet at the crossing, and see who is who.
There’s a place you go when you take your last breath.
It no longer looks of life, and smells of death.
I only travel alone, so as to keep them away.
And if I never fear, I will keep the wolves at bay.
And if they strike me again, I will fight with all I can,
To meet my maker now, in a strange new land.
There is a time for me. There is a time for you.
We’ll meet at the crossing, and see who is who.

Symphonic Dreams
07:32
|
|||
|
Open your eyes, the dream is nearly over.
There’s no disguising it, everything’s real.
This is my dream. This is my fantasy.
But is reality part of the plan?
This is my life. This is my make believe.
Without this sanctuary I can’t survive.
Symphonic dreams.
Symphonic dreams.
Day after day, event turns into nightmare.
With just the darkness to ease the despair.
Then comes the night with all it’s promises,
Of hope and prophecies no-one can change.
This is my life. This is my make believe.
Without this sanctuary I can’t survive.
Open your eyes, the dream is nearly over.
There’s no disguising it, everything’s real.
This is my dream. This is my fantasy.
But is reality part of the plan?
This is my life. This is my make believe.
Without this sanctuary I can’t survive.
Symphonic dreams. Symphonic dreams.
Symphonic dreams. Symphonic dreams.
Symphonic dreams.

Deadly Sin
04:25
|
|||
|
Holding on, you seek to resist its every whim.
You ask for forgiveness and yet you lie to him.
Born from the fruit, to a game that you can't win.
You try to hide from choosing deadly sin.
Why can’t I choose just to hold you?
With every breath I fall away from the truth.
Why can’t I choose not to hurt you?
With every breath I ignore all virtue.
Every grimace you see makes you want to lash about.
You know that it’s not you, it’s not what you’re about.
Were you born damned for now, or were you born saved?
Perhaps the answer lies in a life that’s so depraved.
Why can’t I choose just to hold you?
With every breath I fall away from the truth.
Why can’t I choose not to hurt you?
With every breath I ignore all virtue.
Be it envy, anger or pride, greed or despair.
You try to do it right, but the feeling's just aren’t there.
With virtue you suffer and with vice you play the game.
You feel your life turned upside down while you go insane.
Why can’t I choose just to hold you?
With every breath I fall away from the truth.
Why can’t I choose not to hurt you?
With every breath I ignore all virtue.

Temptation
12:05
|
|||
|
I am temptation, my purpose is quite clear.
To test your resistance whenever I am near.
I draw you in beyond control.
A fiendish friend you’ll never quite know.
And when you least expect me to.
I’ll take away your innocence from you.
I won’t surrender to your demands.
You must remember, I have the power to resist your charms.
I take away commitments made.
Destroying trust along the way.
And if you think that you’re immune.
I’ll prove my strength without a care for you.
I am temptation, I’m always by your side.
You can’t ignore me, there’s no place to hide.
Do not pass judgement, no one is free.
I cannot fight this dark side of temptation inside me.
I am temptation, my purpose is quite clear.
To test your resistance whenever I am near.
