Scene I - Intro
Just tired
Of being torn
Between light and darkness
Simply tired
Of this growing feeling of emptiness
I still can’t find myself
I feel I’m living the life of somebody else
Do I make the calls
Or are they made for me
Are you even there
For all that I see
I search for you
Outside and in
But anything I do feels like a sin
There’s a growing pain inside
I feel I’m going out of my mind
I know you like things
Done at your pace
But I feel I’ve fallen out of grace
Scene II - Meaningless words
Every fibre in my bone
Tells me the words are wrong
And words mean nothing
I’ve always known
What matters is
How you feel inside
The love sublime
The presence divine
So, where are you?
What do you want me to do?
If words are meaningless and you are silent
There’s nothing!
Every day I walk alone
I’m searching for the truth
And words are written
As if your own
I sail away in a sea of lies
Where by that same word
Someone dies
So, am I wrong?
Why do I feel so alone?
And here we are!
Don’t you think this has gone too far?
If words are meaningless and you are silent
There’s nothing!
Scene III - Innocence
There was a time when I looked at the world
With a simpler view
But now I find
There’s so much more than I knew…
Innocence lost
Are you ready to pay the cost?
Innocence gone
Another world is born
Everything was so simple
All in black and white
And the colours of the rainbow
But the world caught up
And showed me all shades of sorrow
Innocence faded
All dreams degraded
Innocence away
All colours are shades of grey
So, tell me, was it my choice or fate?
And you ask what happened to my faith?
Scene IV - Conformity
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui sancto.
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper
et in saecula saeculorum, Amen
Rules are meant to be followed
Laws obeyed
You are meant to be in your place
Don’t think
Just do what you’re told
What’s sacred
Has to hallowed
Aren’t we the ones who seek justice?
Aren’t we the meek?
Aren’t we the ones who shall inherit the Earth?
We are the ones who seek peace
We are the ones who mourn
We are the ones who shall inherit the Earth
Power must be respected
Don’t raise your head
You just have to do what we say
Don’t question
Remember what is written
We are the enlightened
Aren’t we the ones who seek justice?
Aren’t we the meek?
Aren’t we the ones who shall inherit the Earth?
We are the ones who seek peace
We are the ones who mourn
We are the ones who shall inherit the Earth
Scene V –First Love Pt.I
It was a midsummer’s day
When she passed on by in blue
And right there I knew
There was something different in me
I went out of my way
To cross her path every single day
Just to get a glance
And imagine what it could be…
Scene VI – Lust
Blood boils
Takes your reason away
It dominates you
Makes you go astray
Feel the lust
Feel the push
Make it harder
Play the game
Go insane
Doesn’t matter
Get right up
Never stop
Adrenalize
World gone
Only pleasure is the higher one
So awake
I never felt so free
Floating on feelings
That come crushing down on me
New sensation
Intoxication
More, more,
Feel the skin
And deep within
Getting stronger
Just relax
Ride the wave
Is there share?
Feels like heaven
But it seems like a nightmare
Cut me open
Rip me apart
Just drive a stake
Through my heart
I’m filled with daemons
And shades on my soul
I realise now
The world is cold
Scene VII - First Love pt.II
I finaly met her
When she came and sat by me that day
I swear she could see
The passion in my eyes
It was with no surprise
I saw a shade of pain
But I hanged on to hope
It was all that remained
How many sleepless nights Thinking of what to
Dreaming awake How it might feel to be with you
I have to say
You were my sunshine everyday
And I had to tell you
How I felt inside
I’ve put away my pride
And opened up my heart
I knew nothing had changed inside you
I was back to the start
How could something so pure Became such a pain?
How many times I prayed in vain?
Life went on
She is nothing but a memory
But there was a time
She meant the world to me
There are lessons in life
You only learn the hard way
Things never change
No matter how much you pray
How many sleepless nights Lost in the shadows
Dreaming awake Reliving all my sorrows
How could something so pure Weight so heavy on my soul?
How many times I felt the cold?

Scene I – Heaven can wait
Time
Was not on our side
You knew
Life draining day by day
A need to live for today
A constant wait
A long awayt for a known end
Uncertainty
I don’t know if I’ll break or bend
I told you “Heaven can wait”
You said it was all just fate
I saw you
Fading away
And all I could do
Was wait day by day
I told you “Heaven can wait”
You said “God wants what He wants”
I said I needed you more than He did
You said it was all just fate
Injustice
The way of the world
Why is death
So cold?
I told you “Heaven can wait”
You said it was all just fate
Scene II – The Great Divide
I try
To understand
But the logic fails
By Your own hand
A test of faith?
How can I find my way out of this rat maze
Is this a nightmare?
Don’t you think it’s fair to ask
If You are really there?
Shouldn’t a simple mention of you
Serve to unite?
Shouldn’t we accept that
Nobody’s right?
So how come Your name is
The Great Divide?
I fake being strong
So nobody can see me
Come undone
It’s hard to keep faith
When all the world seems
To explode
In everybody’s face
So, if You’re really there
How come you made this world
So unfair?
Shouldn’t a simple mention of you
Serve to unite?
Shouldn’t we accept that
Nobody’s right?
Tell me, why is Your name
The Great Divide?
Scene III – Passion
Passion
Was like a river in your eyes
Flowing like a fire
That arouse desire
Whenever you walked by
I lost my soul
In you sweet but wicked smile
And so we danced
In a romance
Had on borrowed time
Days and nights
When Pleasure was supreme
But everyday
Something fade away
Inside of our dreams
Never knew
If it was worth the tears I’ve cried
But, all in all,
We had done it all
It was time to say goodbye
These flames
Are never meant to be
They are to burn bright
Shine they’re light
And leave a memory
Nights of passion
That made me concede
That somewhere in the world
Love was not so cold
There’s reason to believe
Scene IV – Miracle
Do you know how long I prayed for a miracle?
She came to me in light
As she had come in my dreams
She took me away from the night
And filled my soul with screams
Of joy
Those eyes of jade
That see through my soul
Tell me I will never be alone
Those harms that hold me
In the night
Show me how my soul shines bright
I’ve been waiting for so long
I finally know to whom I belong
You gotta pray for a miracle
Everyday
You gotta pray for a miracle
Whatever comes your way
You gotta pray for a miracle
Every single day
Just pray for a miracle
You know I prayed for a miracle everyday
For a long time
And nothing ever
Felt right
You know I prayed for a miracle everyday
For a long time
And then one came and opened this heart of mine
Whatever comes your way
Every single day
Just pray for a miracle...

Scn. I - Vain gods
Look at what has changed
Since you’ve been gone…
A golden calf is sat upon your throne
All worshiping a lie
They don’t know
How much they die inside
The vein gods of our times
Who bathe in gold and pride,
They die in search of fame
And the world just stays the same
Masters of illusion,
Afraid of oblivion
All Idols with clay feet,
Empty inside and selling you their meat!
The vein gods of our times
Who bathe in gold and pride,
They die in search of fame
And the world just stays the same
Scn. II - 9/11
I watched in disbelief
The crumbling down of our dream
The conquest of sanity by madness
Live on the media screens
All seen on live TV
In broad daylight for the world to see
Conclusions drawn, we must react
Attack, Attack, attack
Blinded by faith in deceivers
All wanted revenge
And ended up buying a war
With no quarter nor trench
So you feel nothing’s right
Is this all just a quiz?
You’ve been long in a search
And don’t know what the truth is?
There’s a voice inside your head
Why don’t you listen to it instead?
So what is the fight for,
Your life or the interests of few?
You must discern what’s right!
Do you believe the news?
So you start on your path
And you’re blinded by light,
So many false truths
You don’t know what is right…
Well, there’s a voice inside your head
You don’t you listen to it instead
There’s a conscience in your head
Why don’t you listen to it instead!
Scn. III - Wolves
So is this it
Will indifference make us fall?
Are there any heroes left to save us all?
We are the ones who allow
So few to so much that we don’t know
It’s not as if they are wolves in disguise,
So why do we keep upholding their lies?
They’ll hide the truth with a thick cover
So you don’t leave before the show is over,
But think and you’ll discover
That you are just fresh meat
And they are about to eat
It’s not as if they are wolves in disguise,
So why do we keep upholding their lies?
We see them, we talk to them, we even vote
And that’s just before they go down
On our throats
Scn. IV - Consumption
Drowning in a sea of information,
Cut out from the source of creation,
Driven to the edge of insanity,
Meaninglessness for eternity
They want to control what you say or not,
They want to control thought
Their plan is deceive, want you to believe
Life is what you bought
So you sit in front of your TV,
So much going on but can’t you see,
You are just a number, just a thing,
A small pin in a big machine
They want to control what you say or not,
They want to control thought
Their plan is deceive, want you to believe
Life is what you bought
Scn. V - Masks
How many versions are there of oneself?
Are you sure you are you or are you someone else?
Why is it a choice not to care?
Is it so hard to look at? Do you even dare?
Is it alright
To stand by the side
And watch the world blow?
Why refuse to choose
When our choices make us grow?
All that is known
Is what is seen
In a media screen
And we’re laughing at the clown
While the circus burns down
Lives obscured by clouds of fantasy,
Masking away the ugliness of reality
Streaming endless days of apathy
With facts turned into lies by ideology
Is it alright
To stand by the side
And watch the world blow?
Why refuse to choose
When our choices make us grow?
All that is known
Is what is seen
In a media screen
And we’re laughing at the clown
While the circus burns down
Scn. VI - Meaning
The air’s seems so loaded
Electricfied,
A relative quiet before the storm
Life seems encoded
Fate seems to be tied
To things without shape nor form
Life has to be more
Than days without end
There has to be meaning
Something to transcend
It all seems more
Than we all can cope
Will someone please
Deliver us hope
A strange woken sleep
Falls over so deep
That seems to kill the soul
Just shells left behind
All broken inside
Simply waiting to grow old
There are no more prophets
There are no more truths
It seems we were left all alone
Now money is power
And power is law
And life just weights like a stone
