[L] :
Today is the day I will show my creatures to the world
colors and shades, reflecting time and space
harmony, beauty you’ll see
[V] :
Today is just another day
they’re all the same to me
Life gave you everything
Will I ever find a way to be like you?
[M] :
Check the date, you’re messing with time
today, you’re wrong again
check what day is today
[V]:
No, I don’t understand what’s happening to me, is this all real?
Am I living the past, the taste, the smell of a new chance?
Is this all just a game I’ve already played
A way to repair all of my mistakes?
It feels like I’m back, I’m living my past, today, I’m back in time!
[M] [L] :
Today it’s a new day, Today, Today

[V] :
I see the same things happening
Lost in the river of time
But this isn’t happening
[M] : It’s not reality
It must be a dream…
[M] : It’s a dream
[L] : A dream
[V] :
Such a strange dream so close to my reality
[M] : Is it real?
[M] [L] : Or a dream?
Deceives my senses,
I’ve never felt so alive as I feel now
[M] : Maybe it’s not a dream, Maybe it’s real
[L] : Maybe it’s not a dream, Maybe it’s real
Why is this happening?
It’s all just a dream...
[M] :
You look confused
But I know a way you can go through
All you need is the courage to leave all of your fears behind
[V] :
Could this be my chance to try
[M] [L] : Don’t be afraid to try
To live my life again?
What’s this? A curse? A gift?
[V] :
Where do I start?
Is this is a brand-new life?
[M] : Here’s a pill
[M] [L] : Try the pill
Where do I start?
I have a lot of things to try
[V] :
I’ll break free of all this chains
[M] : Don’t be scared, take the pill
You won’t regret
[L] : Why not? Why don’t you try?
Don’t be afraid, take the pill
[V] :
Obsessions, regrets
I’ll change the past
[M] :
You won’t regret, come and take the pill
You’ll make all your wishes true
You’ll feel the power, you won’t be the same anymore
[V] :
This time I can be self-assured
[M] [L] : Don’t be afraid to try
I’m stronger than you thought I was!
I’m not scared anymore…
...and for the first time
I will finally taste how life is like

Come inside…
[L] :
It doesn’t matter where you go
it doesn’t matter where you’re coming from
Your path is a maze you’re not able to see
Carry on this life, give up on your will
a mere blinding light you cannot withstand
Oh, wandering soul, rejoin and ascend!
(For) Only in shades you’ll find the truth
Only in shades you’ll find who you are
Come inside the shades...
[M] :
Flesh or chemistry whatever you’re made of,
wherever you started from you can be the master,
you can be the master of it all

[V] :
What happened to me? I’m lost
How did I get here?
Flares and echoes in my head
A strange state of consciousness never felt before
[L] : Wake up! Look at me, see what you’ve done!
[V] : Confusion, refusal
[L] [V] : Illusions
[M] :
Tell me does it make you stronger
To feel the whole world Locked inside your hands?
And tell me have you enjoyed your rise from
the ordinary man you used to be?
Tell me!
[L] :
I still cannot believe it. Who are you?
I can hardly recognize the man I thought I knew
You let me down in front of my own world
And I’ve never felt the shame that I feel now
No I’ve never felt so abused before today!
[V] :
Please can you stop, I’m sick of screaming
I can be your guide in crafting this reality
I’ll heal your wounds while they’re still bleeding
I’ll make everything work the way I want to
I know you might not understand
the way I changed my life still shocks me,
let me show you how!
Can you believe what I’ve just done?
I tore your idols down!
I see through all your lives,
and your time is passing by,
your time is passing by.
Casting shadows on your souls ripping you apart,
filling your life with emptiness,
your time is passing by, time is on my side.
[M] :
You must repair all the things
you have broken, ruined or torn.
[V] :
I’m sick and tired, I am leaving,
tomorrow will be the same old day,
this time I will not fail again.
|

5. |

|
[V] :
Light, subsides
I’ll close my eyes
And the night will fade
unveiling just the same old day, again
Lost inside this place I used to call my home
My mind flies by lost in a dream
or lost in what’s real?
I walk at night lost in a dream that I made real
It’s all real!
[L] :
Headed home,
please think ‘bout what you have been told
And fix, and heal all that you broke
[V] :
I walk at night lost in a dream that I made real
Is it real?
These shadows haunt me in the night
As I walk home alone
{Interlude - Conjunction}
[V] :
Talk to me, oh night and give me some rest
How do I make things right?
I’m so confused and I’m not sure
if dawn will rise again today
goodnight
[L, M] :
Speak to him, oh night and give him some rest
‘cause dawn will rise soon
The sun will rise soon to unveil
another day, another life
Goodnight
[V] :
Goodbye

[V] :
I just woke up and I want to see
if this is still a dream or I’m back
where I left real life
I can’t understand why the streets are empty
Where am I?
Space is just the same but nobody’s here
weather is changing wind is beating on my face
and I hear thunders
[L] :
Hard to understand,
yesterday the sun, today a storm
My only chance has gone
Now I’m here alone with my frustration
Stuck in this time-lapse I’m doomed to live in
and I will never hijack.
Yesterday won’t come back
Yesterday won’t come back
[V] [L] : My day won’t come back...
[M] :
I can understand how confused you might feel now
but I can’t understand why you still
accept to live like this
He never cared about you and threw your life away
[L] : He does not regret
[M] : He won’t understand
[L] : He speaks like a mad man
[M] : Must see what’s the truth
[L] :
He has become too self-assured
Lost inside his super-ego
Fate has given, fate will take
I’ll make him see it my way!
Since the first time I met you
I tried to make you see love and beauty
but you didn’t see at all
You lived your life alone and Never cared ‘bout no one but you
While I’ve been giving you all my best
Yes, and in the end what did I get?
[V] :
Your lies can’t hide the truth from my eyes.
Kneel before me and I’ll spare your life,
from being lost in the river of time!
[M] :
Time hasn’t got any master
Time goes straight, passing by
[V] : You lie! I rose to a whole new life
[M] : But see where has brought you your try!
[M] [L] : How can you manage to live like this?
You’re just a fool
[L] : Your charade is over
[V] : I can’t hide anymore
[L] : With all your powers lost
[V] : I can’t go anywhere
[L] : And nothing is left by your side
Prepare to meet your downfall!

[V] :
Is this how a man falls down?
My dreams are nowhere to be found.
My kingdom shattered, my destiny bound.
[V] [L] :
Is this how a man falls down?
Now only pain I see around
No way to escape, it will hunt me like a hound.
Will I ever?
[V] :
Will I ever find a way out?
Will I ever get out from this cage?
Where have my powers gone?
Tell me, where did I go wrong?
Where have my powers gone?
Tell me, how could I get lost?
[L] :
Is this how you fell from the tower you built?
Did you expect ending up like this?
You thought you were making the rules
and now it turns out it’s you who’s being ruled
And the truth when you say you feel changed is that
nobody noticed it except for me
You had everything
look now what you have got
[M] :
There’s no use in feeling sad
even if you could turn back time
you still won’t know
what your fate does have in store for you
[V] :
Why? Why? Why?
[V] :
Where have my powers gone?
Tell me, where did I go wrong?
Where have my powers gone?
Tell me, how could I get lost
in this one way journey that is life?
Was it all planned for me?
[V] :
I don’t understand, I can’t understand
I feel so alone
What have I done to you?
|

|
[V] :
Talk to me, my friend
I think I’ve lost myself again
Talk to me, my only one
I didn’t mean to hurt you so
I wish I could turn back time
just to see your smiles again
[L] :
Time could heal but won’t delete
the words that you said, you said to me
[M] :
New mistakes, broken smiles again
You’ll find on your path with no way to prevent
[L] :
They won’t be deleted but I will forgive you
‘cause life still goes on and time
is flying away and there’s nothing left to do but strive
and keep fallin’, and crawlin’,
and rise again until you realise
Will you ever realise?
New realities you will see but not foresee
A vagrant you’ll be, not in space but in time
You’ve got to realise!
[L] : They won’t be deleted but I will forgive you ‘cause
[V] [L] :
Life still goes on and your time is flying away
and there’s nothing left to do but strive
and keep fallin’, and crawlin’, and rise again
keep falling and crawling and rise again
again, again and again…

[V] :
Look, how can a man be supposed to live like this?
Once you feel you’ve arrived somewhere
then you realise way’s still long road is up again
How did I end up like this?
I wasn’t ready for all this
I need a break to reflect take a little breath
I wish time didn’t exist just for a while
I wish this world could disappear
[L] [M]:
See colors and shades, (colors and shades)
see both time and space (time and space)
they’re changing,
they are not the same anymore
Wherever you look,
you see something new (all is new)
[V] :
I see time bending while space
is twisting around all is fading away
[L] [M] : See, your world’s fading away
I’m moving standing still and a warm breeze has raised,
[Everyone] : All is wrapped in a strange white light
I don’t know who you are for real,
nor where we’re headed but...
I trust in you
Come and lead me where you belong
Make me feel complete
Make me transcend reality
‘Cause I know and I feel
that I’m ready now, I’m ready now
|
||||
10. |

|
[V] :
I don’t know where you’re coming from
For sure you’re not from my world
All this time, along my path
you have been mentoring me
But now time has come for me
to choose by myself
Should I live my life
as if nothing had happened
or should I craft a new one
Wake me up to my life again!
You have been deciding for me for all this time
leading me down my path
Why do you two look as one?
Had it all been nothing but a game
that you planned and played?
Who are you?
[M] [L] :
What you see (Come to me)
is reality. This world is a (Let me in)
projection of my will, (Don’t resist)
a shadow on the wall.
Choose your fate, complete the circle
Come to us, craft your world around your will
Fulfill your purpose, return to the stars.
[V] :
Reality is a shadow on a wall
Looking for a light that never comes
[Everyone] :
Inhale me, let me in
Gather our souls as one
Inhale me, embrace me
Let’s go back to the start
Rejoin. Shape our world

[V] :
Was that just a dream beyond time and space
or was it real? Am I even awake?
There's no white light, there's no cold sensation
Maybe it's just another day…
