Music by Marco Heubaum/Dianne van Giersbergen/Joost van den Broek Lyrics by Marco Heubaum/Dianne van Giersbergen Guest Vocals by Henning Basse of Firewind [Part 1 - Awakening] Father, oh father you told me to see The world with my eyes and not just believe So I was learning from the old books The wisdom of a time that no-one knows I've seen our freedom In the mist of time The old signs I'll follow For the day of relief will be yours and mine Mother, oh mother you told me to go Where the sun will lead me away from the snow I have turned for a last goodbye Now I do know it's my fate to try I've seen our freedom In the mist of time The old signs I'll follow And the day of relief will be yours and mine [Part 2 - The Machine] For years I have been searching To find the missing blueprint In corners of my mindscape Deep inside those shades The answers are a secret Forbidden by the black kings They keep us in this prison Slavery is our fate In the dark I can see What nobody else can see Oh this world is a cage How can we all ever be saved? I'm making my contraption A strange machine construction Einstein to Hawking see me Watch me build your dream This device makes me go Where nobody else could go To the past, to warn you all So the sword can never fall I'll change (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days) the world (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze) for you (to the days - in the haze of time) We all will be together again Flying (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days) through (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze) space and time (to the days - in the haze of time) Laying our hands on the uncertain I'll change (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days) the world (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze) for you (to the days - in the haze of time) We all will be together again Flying (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days) through (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze) space and time (to the days - in the haze of time) Laying our hands on the uncertain "How fragile your childish dreams Ignorance, ha! It suits you well No ray of light shall accompany you For it is darkness, in which you dwell" [Part 3 - A Parallel Sphere] All stars falling down Such gold, such green, gleeful they gather Stirring the sky like I've never seen An emerald bee tingles my brow Until it dissolves into a puny sea Hear the hollow willow, hear! Like a miser weep Like leviathan shrieks I fear - my delirium's here - it's here and now: Are there monsters out to get me? Who will tame or heed their growls? Who is mocking me, who dares to? Show your face, come forth now! This new world you found might seem unreal Who is mocking me, who dares to? Mirror to your mind and to your soul Show your face, come forth now! We will abduct your senses forever We will lead you into your dark night You will give in to all the drugs served here You will feel like you are dreaming Slowly you'll forget where you came from No power left to stay strong "Yes, it's true... now you are my creature... a puppet in my theater of dimensions The key that will unlock the entire universe to me! Soon you will do all my bidding and you will be unable to escape this waking nightmare! Ha ha ha..." [Part 4 - A battle of Minds] I'll take you down with me And I will steal your memories You'll never be released And you will never live in peace You came here you fool And now you will serve as my tool My demons will haunt you And I will use your powers soon I'll take you down with me (Laughters rises from the darkness) And I will steal your memories (Whispers from a smiling carcass) You'll never be released (Creatures of your childish nightmares) And you will never live in peace (Grab you with their rotten fingers) Fear - You came here you fool (Laughters rises from the darkness) only fear - And now you will serve as my tool (Whispers from a smiling carcass) Fear - My demons will haunt you (Creatures of your childish nightmares) is everywhere - And I will use your powers soon (Grab you with their rotten fingers) Fear - I'll take you down with me (Monsters and ghosts dance with you in a labyrinth) only fear - And I will steal your memories (Demons and clowns laughing loud while you're suffering） Fear - You'll never be released (Witches delude you with their dark sorcey) is everywhere - And you will never live in peace (Taking you down into hell's fiery kitchen) I can see my strength is fading (We can see your strength is fading) In my mind, a last chance waiting (In your mind, a last chance waiting) I will turn my demons back on you (You will turn your demons back on him) So you want to fight Yes, I will free my mind No, you cannot win Hahaha! I'm not going to give in What is happening? Now your creatures are with me Oh what have you done? Now it's you has to run! Oh world, bright abyss Let us reminisce Come dawn's warm embrace all hearts will be... Sanctified, saved and whole Turned away from evil's toll To free the world from its cage Lay me down into my grave I'll change (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days) the world (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze) for you (to the days - in the haze of time) Wish we could be together again Flying (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days) through (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze) space and time (to the days - in the haze of time) Caged in this parallel dimension I'll change (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days) the world (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze) for you (to the days - in the haze of time) Wish we could be together again So fly (Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days) with me (To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze) through space and time (to the days - in the haze of time) Caged in this parallel dimension Who dared to mock me? Oh! I stood my ground fierce and proud! Oh let me living die! The dark's defied the time is nigh! Till death does come till death does come! [Part 5 - Home in a Dream] Children, oh children, when you'll be born Your world will be no longer torn I will watch your from afar Down on our little blue star And you'll see your freedom In the mist of time The old signs you'll follow For the day of relief will be yours and mine Finally it's yours and mine
