Nos sumus conjuncti
Fontem nostram quaerentes
Originem sciendi
Nos pleni vigoris
Quo colendo res fiunt
Sic naturam fingimus
Aenigma solventes
Edrediamur
Nil, certum est
2. The Second Stone
O, ne moriar bis
Oro supplex
Sometimes I feel like my reason is weakinning
My inner clock's forcing time stand till
I'm breaching borders between life and sanity
That's when it all starts to shatter in front of me
Liberate me
Why don't you liberate me?
Sometimes I feel I'm betraying my memory
This time it seems that I'm losing the fight
Finding it hard to be consciously part of life
That's when awareness and dreams start to separate
Reunite me
It's time to reunite me
As time goes by I hide the truth
Cannot stand myself with a broken shell
As time goes by I try to choose
Don't know where to roam in this private hell
Give me relief

Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality

My train thoughts got lost somewhere along the way
I'm chasing shadows that cross on my path
Repeating visions that dance faster than my mind
Can't stop the rain casting shadows on my parade
Can't defeat me
I will not bot to defeat
As time goes by I hide the truth
Cannot stand myself with a broken shell
As time goes by I try to choose
Don't know where to roam in this private hell
Give me relief
Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality
My train thoughts got lost somewhere along the way
I'm chasing shadows that cross on my path
Repeating visions that dance faster than my mind
Can't stop the rain casting shadows on my parade
Ne moriar bis
Another
Another
All the
A cruse

life, anothe mind close to insanity

road, a cryptic code the second stone
is left is a cross that's mine to bear
with no ending drenched in anxiety

O, ne discedam bis
Oro supplex
As time goes by I hide the truth
Cannot stand myself with a broken shell
Give me relief
Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality
As time goes by I try to choose
Don't know where to roam in this private hell
Give me relief
Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality
Ne moriar bis
3. The Essence Of Silence
Something is wrong
My strength has gone
Thoughts are corrupting my mind
I can see I perceive this ain t me
Something so strong
My mood has swung
I can t get it out of my head
I believe that my mind misleads me
(We confuse)
Is it a doubt you try to hide
(Tangle and abuse)

Just have an open look inside

(We appear)
It s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
(Memory stuck in your mind)
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Search for essence
Find the silence within you
(The essence is )
You re searching and bursting
There seems to be no cure
When tension endures
Delusions corrupting my mind
I can see I perceive this ain t me
There seems to be no way
When light fades to grey
To get them all out my head
I believe that my mind misleads me
(We confuse)
Is it a doubt you try to hide
(Tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside
(We appear)
It s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
(Memory stuck in your mind)
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Search for your essence
Find the silence within you
(The essence is )
Make a start
Explore your heart
When a persistent memory
Penetrates deep in your mind
Allow the silence to destroy
Your thoughts in every kind
(We confuse)
Is it a doubt you try to hide
(Tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside
(We appear)
It s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
(Memory stuck in your mind)
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Allow the silence

To wipe your thoughts away

Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Search for essence
Find the silence within you
(The essence lies IN SILENCE)
4. Victims Of Contingency
Your words are meaningless, as pain fills the void
Hollow words won't hurt no longer
You will regret every life you've destroyed
Blaming the whole world will never make you stronger
Be prepared for the righteous self
If you blame all your failures on someone else
Without any remorse
Without your remorse
If you don't face the weakness of your own self
You will take the same course
You'll take the same course
Your deeds are reasonless, you adore yourself
Empty deeds impress no longer
You will regret everyone you've envied
Blaming it on life will never make you stronger
Be prepared for the confrontation
If you blame all your failures on someone else
Without any remorse
Without your remorse
If you don't face the weakness of your own self
You will take the same course
You'll take the same course
If you blame all your failures on someone else
You avoid every chance
You've lost your last chance
To learn from yourself
If you blame all your failures on someone else
Without any remorse
Without your remorse
If you don't face the weakness of your own self
You will take the same course
You'll take the same course
We can't blame all our failures on someone else
For our own protection
So much to protect
We can't learn from decisions in our own lives
Without self-reflection
We will never flee from contingency
We will never flee from contingency

5. Sense Without Sanity - The Impervious Code See through the veil
Our perspective on life
Defines everything we reach
Most of us will aim for
All the certainties
Beyond the veil
Our perspective on death
Can manifest in many ways
Some of us stay fearful
Til the end of days
As we believe in what we see
We all assume that this is real
Our experience will just hamper us
Sense without your sanity
We've tried to conceive and intertwine circles
Circles of your life
Our knowledge will only hinder us
Sense without your sanity
We've tried to conceive and interweave the cycles of life
Cycles of your life
Death will ease us
See through the veil
Our perspective on birth
Defines how we honor life
An esthetic wonder
Blessed with splendid eyes
As we believe in what we see
We all assume that this is real
Sense without your sanity
Perceive a new reality
Your heart is guiding you into
Blessedness, we will pull through
The longer you wait for the future the shorter it will be
We're searching for the origin
Dig deeper, where we've never been
Carry the light, we should cherish the night
The questions that we cannot solve
We don't know how we should evolve
Carry the light, we should cherish the night
Bring us all to new heights
Our feelings are ready to warm us, to finally heat us up
Our mind will betray us and leave us in coldness, undefined
Our vision of life says what we will experience
Our vision of death defines what we will see

Beyond the veil

Our persperctive on life
Defines everything we see
As we all could aim for
A sense of unity
Se through the veil
Our perspective on death
Defines how we spend our days
Everyone interprets
Things in different ways
As we believe in what we see
We all assume that this is real
Sense without your sanity
Perceive a new reality
Your heart is guiding you into
Blessedness, we will pull through
Sense without your sanity
A changed mentality
Perceive a new reality
Don not sppress
Your heart is guiding you into
Moments of pure blessedness
6. Unchain Utopia
We're in a time where all enterprises fall
We should beware of the wolves that haunt us
They are not all the same, cannot take the blame
Await the time to unchain utopia
Am I the only one who sees the troubled lines?
Reading illusive writings on the mirror
Is there a way that we can all erase mistakes and start anew?
Don't mislead us and stop stabbing with blunt knives
Liberty unchained
We're in a time where all enterprises fall
We should beware of the wolves that haunt us
They are not all the same, cannot take the blame
Await the time to unchain utopia
What is a reason to wreck hopes and all our dreams?
You're leaving endless riddles for the masses
Does it make sense to mend the cracks that you hide behind our backs?
It's afflicted by a virus of the brain
Liberty unchained
Recite the insane
We're in a time where all enterprises fall
We should beware of the wolves that haunt us
They are not all the same, cannot take the blame

We should beware of the lives that are at stake

Before it's all too late
Can we believe it all?
Should we all take the fall?
Our backs against the wall
United we stand tall
Why should we all believe you?
Carry your own burden
We won't succumb to
Your delusion now
We're in a time where all enterprises fall
We should beware of the wolves that haunt us
They are not all the same, cannot take the blame
Await the time to unchain utopia
Why should we all believe you?
Carry your own burden
We won't succumb to
Your deceiving games
Conquer the insane
United we stand tall
Time to free ourselves once more from the ball and chain
7. The Fifth Guardian - Interlude [Instrumental]

8. Chemical Insomnia
Everlasting nights leave all views behind
Limits will become less clear and
A misty memory played out in a dream
This endeavor is causing fear
That's why I can't explain
This is stabbing pain
Come undone in nightly rhyming
It's time for me to roll the dice
Absent sanctity is shifting gravity
Addiction's growing faster, making you go insane
Ivory fangs are smiling, you'll have to break the habit
Imprisonment's appraoching, catching the savages
The mirror's magic showing chemical insomnia
Don't give in to all of this
Dive into ecstatic bliss
Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free
Waking sunset finds, making restless minds
Wistful moments need enclosure

A new hysteria is fading gravity

Which is slowly taking over
That's why I can't unwind
All thoughts aligned
Floating on rivers that are drying
I fear the beast is rising high
Your intuition's fading, a thumping sound impedes
The daybreak is awaking chemical insomnia
Don't give in to all of this
Dive into ecstatic bliss
Don't you believe what the sands of time see
Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free
And the monsters that consume your energy
Your barbaric puppets live between the cracks of lies from hate revived
Silver secrets shining through the night
An enslaved fool in search of burning light from medicine contrived
Golden treasures turning off the lights
Forbidden fruit tastes better when it can numb the bran
The outcome of the future is looking quite insane
White bricks and darkened stones are building the fundament
The silence's calling out for chemical insomnia
Don't give in to all of this
Dive into ecstatic bliss
Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free
And you should not believe what the sands of time see
Free the lion that's hiding your identity
Fight the monsters that consume your entity
9. Reverence - Living In The Heart An overactive mind where a thousand thoughts come floating by
Will not be able to slow down at time
Don't be afraid, live in the now, enjoy simplicity
Avoid incentives that will make you blind
Don't let it bur you down
Live in the heart
Experience the now
To really know yourself, ignore your mind and find yourself again
Life is always challenging
To really find yourself, you can't be blind to signals you obtain and gain
Thoughts are slowly changing here
Here in the now if you identify with your own heart
Will change your views and make you feel at home
You're not your thoughts, observe how the can be duplicity
Don't follow those that make you drift away
Don't let them pull you down
Live in the heart
Experience the now

To really know yourself, ignore your mind and find yourself again
Life is always challenging
To really find yourself, ignore your mind and find yourself again
Life is always challenging
To really find yourself, you can't be blind to signals you obtain and gain
Thoughts are slowly changing
Reward yourself
To really know yourself, ignore your mind and find yourself again
Life is always challenging
To really find yourself, you can't be blind to signals you obtain and gain
Thoughts are slowly chaging
To really know yourself, ignore your mind and find yourself
Life is always challenging
To really know yourself, you can't be blind to signs you gain
Thoughts are always ranging now
10. Omen - The Ghoulish Malady This omen
Deceive us
Misfortune unites us all
When it seems like the world is shattering
Remember that you set your course
When it feels like no one is answering
Revert to your deep inner force
As the bell begins to chime
Together we'll be strong
To defy all that can't bring us down
United standing strong
You will not fight alone
This omen
Deceive us
Misfortune unites us all
When it seems like you're always giving in
Make sure that you take back control
When you can't stand the world we're living in
Remember that you're not alone
As your words are carved in stone
Together we'll be strong
To defy all that can't bring us down
United standing strong
You will not fight alone
Don't drown in a sea full of sorrow and pain
United standing strong, here is where you belong
Your angels will whisper
Nothing is what it seems to be
Search with your heart and you'll find the key

You'll see
Together we'll be strong
To defy all that can't bring us down
United standing strong
You will not fight alone
Don't drown in a sea full of sorrow and pain
United stanting strong, here is where you belong
This omen
Deceive us
Misfortune unites us all
Disaster
Nothing can bring us down
Can't beat us
Together we stand strong
Misfortune
You will not fight alone
Can't bring us down
As one we'll overcome
It unites us all in life
All misery we face in life
11. Canvas Of Life
A thousand signs declined
That traveled through light
Translate this mystery
That covered my eyes
Accept approaching fear
And courage appears
Death is a certainty
It's growing near
Letting go is fateful
uniting broken rhymes
That visions divide
Painting my memories
That colored my life
Somewhere safe and sheltered
Saved forever
Stuck in the light of day
Waiting for answers
A seed that grew into branches
Another page has turned, ended a letter
Come on home and return to the canvas of life
Shapes and boundaries
Will not disappear
Detangle the misery
And enter new spheres
Facing right and wrong
While waiting for life
Can't change this destiny

The curtain's blose by

While your leaves descended
Earth starts to unfold
Stuck in the light of day
Waiting for answers
A seed that grew into branches
Another page has turned, ended a letter
Come on home and return to the canvas of life
You're falling down
While my fortune's alive
We're safe and sound on the ground
Time to found new memories
The stains come alive where the paint has gone dry
You float above looking down reaching out to me
Depicting a beautiful scene that shapes divinity
Stuck in the light of day
Waiting for answers
A seed that grew into branches
Another page has turned, ended a letter
I'll come on home
I'm in the light of day
Questions were answered
A new life's arms are extending
The final page has turned, sending the letter
Come on home
And I'll sing you the song has painted your canvas of life
12. Natural Corruption
Natural corruption
Another day passed by in ruined paradise
Another night will pass until we're sheltered
We're aiming for a life that won't be compromised
And when we say goodbye it's devastating
Now that we have finally realized
Realized, petrified
That profit's made from innocent demise
Profit's made from tragic demise
Another day goes by where money won't suffice
A massive gift was meant as contribution
Our conscience comes to aid that ends up in wrong hands
And once the truth's revealed, intent is fading
Now that we have come to realize
Realized, sanctified
Our hearts subdued by all those thousand cries
Hearts subdued by all those fierce cries
In moments of deadly gloom

Young lives ended way too soon

The facts that are all untrue
Spread lies that wew not thought through
Fight off the catastrophes
Find true inned sanctity
In modern society
Welfare is stained, time to come clean again
Feast on sheer agone
Lean on generosity
Pay in full, it all will vanish without care
Grant us higher proceeds
We'll ease your mind, guaranteed
We should all be reaching out to the despaired
Natural corruption
Charity
Can you believe it
How nature's left its trace
Could we foresee it
What skies erased
We all are trying
We all are dying in nature's arms...
In moment of deadly gloom
Youg lives ended way too soon
The facts that are all untrue
Spread lies that were not thought through
Fight off the catastrophes
Find true inner sanctity
In modern society
Nothing to hide, lives to obtain
Welfare is stained, time to come clean again
13. The Quantum Enigma - Kingdom Of Heaven Part II Visum commutamus
Nihil certum
Qui observat, visi
pars est
The quantum enigma
All your laws and the assumptions
Leave them all behind
There's no grounds for them right here where time can't go
If we can't move on and keep all leaning on the past
We will regret
We can't get what we wish for
New perspective keep us inspired
The quantum enigma
All shadows and illusions

We tend to believe
Are creations of our own deceiving mind
If we can't let go and keep chasing satisfyin needs
We will not get
How to forget our sapience
New perceptions keep us inspired
Ingenuity is required
When we
We will
When we
We will

will look around and see

affect the energy
observe by any means
create reality

We will not find if we don't seek

We will not know if we don't peek
We cannot do if we don't be
Facing our deadlock now
This is our quantum enigma
We'll ignite the fire
That burns under the rain
All that we desire
Is to find our source again
The meaning of life
All dreamscapes and inventions
We tend to believe
Are creations of our own deceiving mind
If we can't let go and keep chasing satisfying needs
We will forget
How to retrieve true wisdom
New perceptions keep us inspired
Ingenuity is required
The quantum enigma
when will look around and see
We will affect the energy
When we observe by any means
We will create reality
We will not find if we don't seek
We will not know if we don't peek
We cannot do if we don't be
Facing our deadlock now
This is our quantum enigma
Without a voice the soul is invisible in time and space
Omne est vigor
Sentimus eum
Sicit concretum
Vigor concrescit
Observatione
Vita est mare
Infinitarum facultatum
Si quae emergant opperiens
Quod inspicimus

Adipiscemur
Each new discovery
That we acclaim
Brings us much closer
To reach our aim
So we will finally see
All of the universe
Exists by being observed
Expanding every day
As we reach further
Let's take this chance to carry on
We will unravel mysteries
And take the challenge as it comes
We will exceed our boundaries
Let's use this chance to end this strife
Obliterate anomalies
Reveal the myths surrounding life
We will decipher secrecies
New perceptions keep us inspired
Ingenuity is required
The quantum enigma
When we will look around and see
We will affect the energy
When we observe by any means
We will create reality
We will not find if we don't seek
We will not know if we don't peek
We cannot do if we don't be
Facing our deadlock now
This is our quantum enigma
We cannot find if we do not seek
With our confined capacity
Reveal all mysteries
Quantum enigma
