EXLIBRIS LYRICS

1. The Continuum

[Instrumental]

2. Escape Velocity

Now's the highest time
Nothing to wait for
Better don't look back
Go and leave the earth
The world is turning faster every single day
Raising up the glasses, drinking yesterday
It is hard to follow, hard to find your way
Walking down a forthright alley you may go astray

Looking in the mirror you can't see your face
You are just a copy of somebody else

No!

Selling soul like everybody you are breaking through
It is not so easy now to stand and face the truth

Run away from the faceless place
We are waiting for you
Far away, somewhere out in space
We are waiting for you

3. The Day Of Burning

Standing in the fire
It's just you and I at the edge of the world
In the final hour
We're the light that won't shine anymore

One last time
We're here to right all the wrong
Celestial crime
We have been waiting so long

From smoke and dust
To death and rust
Nothing could have saved you

There is no time to waste, pick up the pace
It's only getting worse

Back on the run
The end's begun
Your maker has betrayed you

The dusk of human race, the end of days, the lifting of the curse

In a time of madness
We have come to seize what's beyond your control
It's an act of kindness
You will welcome the end as foretold

One last time
We're here to right all the wrong
Celestial crime
We have been waiting so long

From smoke and dust
To death and rust
Nothing could have saved you

There is no time to waste, pick up the pace
It's only getting worse

Back on the run
The end's begun
Your maker has betrayed you

The dusk of human race, the end of days, the lifting of the curse

The final day
You are the prey
We're here to watch you burning

There is no time to waste, pick up the pace
It's only getting worse

You can't undo
It's all on you

The dusk of human race, the end of days, the lifting of the curse

4. In The Darkest Hour

Don't you see the star that is glowing?
See you're trying to hide now
Don't you see the day that is dawning?
Still your eyes don't want to see the light

Don't you see the eyes that are crying?
As they see you fading
Don't you see the ones that are smiling?
They believe you're gonna find the way

But there's no one who could bring the answers
Do I need to try?
When I'm drowning in the sea of darkness
Can you hear me cry?
When I'm closed inside a shell of silence
What's the reason why?

'Cause I don't wanna be your light
And I don't wanna be the darkness
I wanna face it all just on my own
I'm not afraid of the unknown
Don't need your help or any guidance
I'm gonna find a place where I belong
Gonna bring it home because I feel
I need to be free

You know there's a man that is falling
And his pride's the burden
You know that the man will be soaring
If he lets the morning give him wings

But there's no one who could bring the answers
What's the reason why?

'Cause I don't wanna be your light
And I don't wanna be the darkness
I wanna face it all just on my own
I'm not afraid of the unknown
Don't need your help or any guidance
I'm gonna find a place where I belong
Gonna bring it home because I feel
I need to be free

5. Omega Point

It's time to let the bridges burn (no way back)
Have no regrets as we go down with the sun
We've reached the point of no return (can't turn back)
All becomes clear when the damage is done

Take me higher
Let's watch heaven burn
Before it falls down from the sky
Time will tell
If all that we knew was just lies

Take me deeper
Let's make pages turn
Bring light to the world of the blind
In the end
This will be a home to our kind

No way to bring back what is lost (it's all gone)
There's no applause at the end of this play
Of all the rivers we have crossed (we move on)
This is the one that will wash us away

Take me higher
Let's watch heaven burn
Before it falls down from the sky
Time will tell
If all that we knew was just lies

Take me deeper
Let's make pages turn
Bring light to the world of the blind
In the end
This will be a home to our kind

It's time to learn from our mistakes (no regrets)
Be our own saviours, change the rules of the game
What doesn't bend can only break (no weakness)
That is not how they'll remember our names

Take me higher
Let's watch heaven burn
Before it falls down from the sky
Time will tell
If all that we knew was just lies

Take me deeper
Let's make pages turn
Bring light to the world of the blind
In the end
This will be a home to our kind

6. Before The Storm

Rise up and stand together
Or choose to dream forever
But when the thunder's rolling
You'll know that he's been calling you

7. King Of The Pit

Fire (fire!) over the fields of sorrow
Burning up their twisted minds
A melody they are sure to follow
Bow down and crawl when the piper calls

I've seen him rise from ashes
I've seen him turn to dust
A preacher of the darkness
The morning star that's forever lost

Thunder (thunder!) far on the dark horizon
Screaming through the darkest night
A eulogy for stars that won't be shining
A child is born under the cross of thorns

I've seen him rule the masses
I've seen him challenge gods
And as the vision flashes
I see a way to shit the dire odds

In a chalice of gold
There's the blood of the old
Keeps the flame in your soul
Burning higher

When the darkness foretold
Shall arise to take hold
Reach inside, take control
Of the fire

8. Darker Than Black

There is no way to make this right
You've gone to deep into the night
Now there is nothing you can do (they're onto you)

It's time to settle all the scores
There is no coming back for more
You will be paying all your dues

No turning back
There will be no tomorrow
Your soul will burn down in the fire
Darker than black
Nothing but pain and sorrow
No angel wings to take you higher

Nowhere to run but you can't stay
You now this is the only way
What goes around will come around (they'll make you drown)

You thought you'd win without a fight
Lord for a day, king for a night
But in the end you're going down

No turning back
There will be no tomorrow
Your soul will burn down in the fire
Darker than black
Nothing but pain and sorrow
No angel wings to take you higher

There is no calm before the storm
You will be nothing when it's done

9. Closer

I wake up to the sounds of the footsteps walking out the door
Not knowing what the time is or where I've been the night before
Surrounded by darkness
Feels like I've been running for so long

If anything's not ever what it seems
Never ever what it seems
This could be a dream within a dream
Right now...

It's time to break out
From a dream that never came
Time to step back
'Cause it's not a losing game
I'm not afraid of falling
So take me closer to the edge

I turn around, see my shadow fading from the wall
Is this a road to freedom - or am I heading for a fall
Beyond the veil of silence
I am here now and feel so strong

But it never ends, it never fades and it will never pass
The final step towards the end, back through the looking glass
But now...

It's time to break out
From a dream that never came
Take a step back
'Cause it's not a losing game
I'm not afraid of falling
So take me closer to the edge

10. False Messiah

Welcome to our race
You cannot win and there's no second place, no!
You think you live the dream
But in the end we'll always make you scream, yeah!

Your hunger for power
Devours the core of your world
Your ivory tower
Will fall
(It's more than you can afford)

On step to have it all
Your journey to become the false messiah
One step to lose control
That's what you get for running with the liar

Welcome to your own hell
Your cries won't be enough to break the spell, no!
Please try to understand
This is what you are now - forever damned, yeah!

Your hunger for power
Devours the core of your world
Your ivory tower
Will fall
(It's more than you can afford)

On step to have it all
Your journey to become the false messiah
One step to lose control
That's what you get for running with the liar

11. The Mental Crusade

Our eyes are closed, we're waiting
The time is still yet to come
The land of ours we're forsaking
Some things just need to be done

We're waking up as the twilight is near
It knocks out the window, it's calling our name
We hear the voice and everything's clear
Now we can break it away

So we came and we saw
We were searching for glory
Looking at you, with no doubts in our heads
So we came and we saw
With no time to say sorry
Hearing the screams all over again
There in the shadows where your eyes were all ablaze
So we came and we saw
We were searching for glory
They tell the tale of the riders that came in the night
Who could win every soul with no fight

We're coming back as the night fades away
The yellings and screams, they still ring in our minds
The mist's falling down, unveiling the day
Away from the light we will hide
Sleep and wait
The time's still yet to come
We're on our way
Some things just need to be done

So we came and we saw
We were searching for glory
Looking at you, with no doubts in our heads
So we came and we saw
With no time to say sorry
Hearing the screams all over again
There in the shadows where your eyes were all ablaze
So we came and we saw
We were searching for glory
They tell the tale of the riders that came in the night
Who could win every soul with no fight

12. Suspended Animation

Winter days
Come and go away
I've been waiting for the sun
For the end that's now begun

Through the years
Lifeless in my dreams
Never found the reason why
All that's real had passed me by

So bring us down, make us forget
But give us an answer
Don't try to hide, don't try to lie
We know your game
We've been blinded by the promise of salvation
(The) time has come for one final revelation

With eyes open wide
I see a new morning
I'm coming alive once again
We dream and we die
We're gone without warning
And only the songs will remain

A dreamer's fate
Challenged to create
A reality with rhymes
That will matter in their time

Caught inside
Between black and white
Staring into starless skies
Drifting in a sea of lies

So bring us down, make us forget
But give us an answer
Don't try to hide, don't try to lie
We know your game
We've been blinded by the promise of salvation
(The) time has come for one final revelation

With eyes open wide
I see a new morning
I'm coming alive once again
We dream and we die
We're gone without warning
And only the songs will remain

Somewhere, waiting to be found
There's a spark of hope
For a life unbound
Somewhere, waking from a dream
To a world unseen
I'm alive
