Prelude
In articulus sic aeturnus
Spiritus donec dies fas
Dies Irae, Dies Illa
Solvet Saeclum in Favilla
Born unto the moment that is forever
To breathe until that fateful day
Day of Wrath, Day of Burning
All the World to Ashes Turning
Evolution (The Grand Design)
Born from the light
Journey into the moment
Delivered from thought and sky
He will be one, one with the land
Lord of wind and the sea and the sand
The one, the bringer of life
"All will bear a part of me
Let this hollow shell set you free
To live as one"
Here we are, children of sun and stars
The first to know and to understand
Living by the law of the ages
Prophets and sages...Forging Utopia
Great Ptah-Khenemu...
Sacred priest of the temple of Ra
And the keeper of truth
Crystalline spheres, the power of light
Grant us keys to the stars and the secrets of flight
Five shall be as One
"We unlock the mysteries
Of knowledge and technology"
Here we are, children of sun and stars
The first to know and to understand
Living by the law of the ages
Prophets and sages...Forging Utopia
We shall live forever
And cast out those less divine
Gods we will be, rulers of the sea
In our Grand Design
Here we are, children of sun and stars
The first to know and to understand
Living by the law of the ages
Prophets and sages...Forging Utopia
Fallen
Alone I walk, among the twisting shadows
Tempted by an ancient magic, the power of Five
My desire - to mirror my own image
And I will offer you no soul...Offer you no soul
Tonight, darkness will shadow the light
Symmetry divine, there's no force greater
Dividing the fathers of time
Feel my hate - I'm banished in this wasteland
My serpents plot the overthrow of your temples and shrines
In the night - my armies rage and fury
Burning my shadow into the land - Vengeance by my hand
Tonight, darkness will shadow the light
Symmetry divine, there's no force greater
Dividing the fathers of time
Tonight, darkness will shadow the light
Paradise denied, the balance of ages
Forever lost in time
Was I sure of my fateful wish to evoke the night from the day?
Thousands now join as one, be afraid
What have I done? Clouds are dimming the sun with his wrath of disease and decay
This mask of vengeance leads my death parade
What have I done?...My shadow burning
My shadow burns across the land!
Tonight, darkness will shadow the light
Symmetry divine, there's no force greater
Dividing the fathers of time
Tonight, darkness will shadow the light
Paradise denied, the balance of ages
Forever lost in time
Communion and the Oracle
All we know now has come undone
Balance lost 'tween the moon and sun
Hear our prayers, keeper of the skies divine
Upon us all let your wisdom shine
Losing faith as the madness prevails
In us all we are searching for a reason
A need to calm the storm
In our sails, let your wind be strong
Breathe the air around you
The ocean fills your veins and winds embrace your heart
Feel the change within you
The sun and moon align - the Grand Design awaits a new start
From the skies, looking down on you
Through the clouds, tainted crystal blue
Such advancement, yet lacking the control
So unaware of your earthly roles
Praise the child and the words of her rhyme
A sacred gift, magic of the Five
Will bring you tranquility
A new order of equality
Five senses come alive
Five reasons thrive
Five nations unite
Unite as one
Raise our heads up to the sky
Feel the essence of time
Changing ways like the shifting tides
In the waves, hear the rhyme
The Bird-Serpent War/Cataclysm
Mocking the ways of justice
The serpent's dragon, vultures ride
Storming the gates of seven
No mortal man shall break our stride
Our flames engulf your good works
And our terror reigns supreme
Dark beasts that do my bidding
By thrashing, tearing down your dreams
"Gather 'round, chosen people of the Grand Design
Scorn the prophet's words - 'The device of our demise'..."
The crumbling earth beneath the weapon's roar
Raining fire from shore to shore
Neptune's might - the storming waves
Rise to make the kingdom's grave
And all Atlantis cried - a million souls crying out
Save the child from the sea - she must carry on
The secrets and technology shrouded deep in mystery
Only one will carry on
Carry on...
Egypt
Endless sands of Alnantees
Etched in gold, a city lost in time
And from the sea, a child speaks of things unseen
Before the king, a teller of the rhyme
Five align - hidden in the word
A message locked in time
Find the key - it draws the final line
Between what is and what should never be
Gaze in these eyes, my child and see
Here by my side, you're destined to be
Fears in the night flee with the sun
If we are one
Kingdom of gold I lay at your feet
Ruler of time and space you will be
Rivers of truth forever will run
If we are one
From the ruins of Atlantis
The lord of night rises from the sands
He seeks the one - his serpent's tail and twisted tongue
A bringer of war - destroyer of the land
Five align - hidden in the word
A message locked in time
Find the key - it draws the final line
Between what is and what should never be
"Rise, my minions - from within the deep abyss
My disciples - thunder this necropolis"
Gaze in these eyes, my child and see
Here by my side, you're destined to be
Fears in the night chasing the sun
Now we are one
Kingdom of gold now lay at my feet
Ruler of time and space I will be
Rivers of lies forever will run
Now we are one
Absence of Light
Now at my feet, the dying voice of balance
Nevermore shall there be a way to fly
A way to fly on wings of Divinity
As words of wisdom fade away
The Law of One will fade and die
The rising moon will crush the sky
So falls the night - the darkest hour
Seek and find all the secrets left for you
Absence of light - unbalanced power
Only then will you know
The hidden words, a piece of the puzzle
Time will tell what will be
Between the lines, the past and future you will find
The ones and zeroes are the key to unlock what's sealed
The Law of One will fade and die
The rising moon will crush the sky
So falls the night - the darkest hour
Justice lost, a travesty we must undo
Absence of light - unbalanced power
Only then will you know
"Awaken all from Set-Amentet
Worship all that I represent"
So falls the night - the darkest hour
Destruction, death and war are in the air
Absence of light - unbalanced power
Ruling all that we know
So falls the night - the darkest hour
Unbound - what once was lost, now is found
Absence of light - unbalanced power
Only then will we know
A Fool's Paradise
What's become of the world?
The colors unfurl, revealing a blackened haze
Conditioned to fear the voice that we hear
Calling the end of days
Millions of souls under control
Like pawns to a king, led by a string
To the final hour
Empire of the sea, lords of technology
Who fell into the void
Oh shall it be as it was before?
A tragedy on every shore?
Is this the end of all we know?
Innocence lost so long ago
Woven in dreams, the darkest of schemes
Now takes hold of our destiny
Decades of greed, plague, famine and war
We can't go on like this anymore
Living like fools - chaos will rule
This eternal paradise
Death by design, altering births
Trends of the modern age
The wisdom of life erased from the earth
In a reckless rampage
Empire of the sea, lords of technology
Who fell into the void
Oh shall it be as it was before?
A tragedy on every shore?
Is this the end of all we know?
Innocence lost so long ago
Woven in dreams, the darkest of schemes
Now takes hold of our destiny
Decades of greed, plague, famine and war
We can't go on like this anymore
Living like fools - chaos will rule
This eternal paradise
Dies Irae, Dies Illa
Solvet Saeclum in Favilla
Is this the end of all we know?
Innocence lost so long ago
Woven in dreams, the darkest of schemes
Now takes hold of our destiny
Decades of greed, plague, famine and war
We can't go on like this anymore
Lost in the night, fading from sight
Is this the final setting sun?...
Rediscovery
A voice from the past echoes the fate
A tale of all things yet to come
As it once was, so it shall be again
Modern day children of the sun
Seek the hidden lines and there you'll find a new world order
Feel the mystery - so much to see through the eyes of hope
The thoughts of Ma'at, forever secured
Locked in the ages
Goddess of truth speaks eternally
From the depth of the pages
Seek the hidden words - as time unfolds you'll find the answer
Feel the mystery - look to the sea, under skies of hope
What have we done? Can we right all the wrongs?
The evils and fears, for thousands of years
That forever drain our vitality
Can this go on without dire consequence?
Our tragic ways, the end of days
That shadows the dawn of eternity
He's taken form in human nightmares
And manifests himself in all our darkest dreams
Preying upon centuries of weakness
Feasting on despair and our own selfish greed
Bow down to me - (We will never understand)
Then take my hand and you will see
You will see a paradise (A paradise?)
Of pain and death - awaiting for you all
(We'll decide the future...)
Lost evermore, the essence of truth
Although she tried in vain to bring us peace
It will ever rest in our hands
We've cried a thousand tears for all we had
And all the things we could have been
We must find our way again
Fools who look for answers in the rhyme
Seeking out a lie, an illusion
I am the future, the ageless mutation
Five beyond the skies align
Zeus to Ra - the final sign
My opposition's drawing near
Feeding on his fear - tasting anguish
I have the power - the ageless invasion
Five beyond the skies align
Zeus to Ra - the final sign
From the messenger on wings
Peace and war - a line of kings
Again the titans clash on the edge of the earthen plane
Now from the depths they speak, echoing from the waves
From the waves...
"Choose the way - five paths there for you to find
Turn the page - the question lies between the lines
Will we?...Will you?...
Can we?...Can you?...
Can we change?..."
