lyrics

« In Space astronauts see the Earth and the deluge that has fallen on it Hundreds of billions of galaxies, planets and stars around 

In Cosmic silence, that reigns around
Resound the crash of men
On their devient ground » 


Max Enix:
And from afar they see
A species incomplete
A broken animal
That cannot take its toll

Jon Pyres: Dark matter still expends

Dan Swano: Darkness seems without end

Jon Pyres: But see, here comes the glow

Dan Swano: Of our sun's halo

Max Enix:
How much time can be left
Before the final break
Of joy we are bereft
But there's a path to take
Remnants of love
Look like they're heaven-sent
But in these skies above
Venus seems so distant


Toby Driver:

Feels like the eyes were made
To bear witness
To the hidden beauty
In this mess
Every rock hides a crack
Every thorn has its flower
The plenty holds a lack
A desert in a river

« The Earth is doomed to vanish Of this, now, I am sure »


Kobi Farhi:
Humankind is vanquished
Our playground is no more

Kobi Farhi:
This rock will crush us all
Our lives will turn to dust
The rise and then the fall
Disappear now we must


Dan Swano:
A lightening light
A sparkling spark
Brightness so bright
Darkness so dark
All is in place
As it must be


Carsten Schulz:
For Human race
Exit only

Max Enix:
Forgive the ones who have destroyed
Thank you to all that you have brought
I am now old
How can I be more bold?


Carsten Schulz:
Thinking of past and future lives
But of remorses I'm deprived
Memories of beautiful moments
The unfolding of existence


Dan Swano:
Nostalgia...

Chorus: 

Max Enix and Carsten Schulz:
Eyes to the future
Eyes to see the light
Eyes made to light up
And shine into the night
Harmony in heart
The cell is in our mind
Witness the new start
It flows from blood and stars x2

« In the corner of this life
Through this corridor, ajar
Punishment sent from the stars
Now awaiting in the skies »


Dan Swano:
A fatal outcome
A fate we cannot hide


David Fremberg:
Again the colors change
The shadow of the end 


David Fremberg:
Take my flesh, crucify me
Just spill my blood and drink it
Dan Swano: Oh Lord, in these dark hours

David Fremberg: Take my flesh, crucify me
Just spill my blood and drink it
Dan Swano: Can you still be a saviour?


Jon Pyres and David Fremberg:
 Your flesh, your body, your blood
The sombre blinding light

« This story is our own Carved in the stones of time
Pictures of burried Earth
Paintings of new born child »
 


Carsten Schulz:
This story is so long
And brief at the same time
Eternity is now for you
Vestiges were once new
Abandoned places
Echoing with our sighs
But when tomorrow comes
It takes over all lives


Elise wachbar:
Reflection of time
Perfume of Love
Reflection of Joy
Perfume of these flavors
 


Max Enix:
Reflection of lights
Perfume of Peace
Reflection of respect
Scent of Freedom
Reflection of enjoyment
Fragrance of Madness
Reflection of passion
Scent of Happiness
Reflection of Goodness
Perfume of Truth
Reflection of Justice
Scent of Innocence

Toby Driver:
And yet I love this Earth
Its animality
Emotions are rebirths

Max Enix:
The dreams and memories
The rivers and the trees
Languages and silences
All so soft to my ears
Nostalgia, it seems
Is always the price to pay
For living in this realm
There's nothing left to say

Jon Pyres:
Behold the mountains high
Behold the tiny worms
Innocence is not mine
It takes several forms

David Fremberg:
A cosmic energy
Is pumping through all hearts
In our lethargy
We have fallen apart

Max Enix:

The horizons show
How reason is to grow
Tomorrow, it shall come
But will you still be there?
The dead and the new born
This cycle so unfair

Max Enix:
Eyes to see... Reality
To fight... For Love
Eyes to follow...
His Freedom To fight... oppression
To create... A better world


David Fremberg:
Just tell me what you see
With Evil all around
And do you understand
What makes me stand my ground?
 

Solo made by Shad Mae

Elise wachbar:
It's all a question of mind
Openness is the only choice we have
Are you so innate?
You are to seal your fate


Max Enix:
Through all the paths that you take
Through all the words you utter
Through all the good that you make
And through the Evil under

Michael Onetwenty:
Vibrations...
Why don't you see no further
Expectations...
To bring life is to murder
One day...
What was and is, is over
Some day...
We could all start it over
Conditions...
Condition all the people
Restrictions...
Restrict the real to behold
A fraction...
Of life's stream is what you are
A Instant...
And then it's soon "au revoir"...
So keep on carrying
Your burden and your pain
It's nothing
And everything, all the same...
The hatred
Explodes, and hell will follow
Then in the end:
A bitter pill to swallow

« On other planets
We hope that we will find Some other plans to set
Some brains better than ours » 


David Fremberg:

But we know not a thing
About this mad projections
But This Earth, the only thing
For our protection


Max Enix:
So point your finger
Accuse the Other
The perpetrator
Is in the mirror


Laurene Telennaria:
As I walked down the aisles
I looked at living hell
Erected by strong men
Controlled by mad men


Laurene Telennaria:
And saved and doomed, then,
 On and on, the same x2

"The meteor is approaching...
The windows are blown out but during the penetra- tion of the earth atmosphere it miraculously disintegrates due to a bad inclination... Explosion/Deflagration
An unheard of and unexpected chance (1 chance on 1 billion)
Fragments are scattered everywhere
Pieces crash in other places "

Max Enix:
Amazed... A luminous Eclipse appears in the sky...


Toby Driver:
It illuminates all the surrounding landscapes

« The planned destruction did not take place
Some buildings are still standing
The nature is again partly luxuriant
Divine miracle, a last chance offered
Vision of ancient civilizations, of the Incas and the Egyptians from the top of their indestructible and rustproof pyramids

Kobi Farhi:
Tell me what you see
Tell me where you are going
Tell me what happened
Tell me what is the reason


Max Enix:
Tell me what this phenomenon is
Tell me it's real


Kobi Farhi :
Tell me where we really are x2
Tell me... Are we... really still alive?


Solo made by Sébastien Dubail:


Dan Swano:
Pinch me x4

OM
« A reason to live that reappears
All the senses, encompassing
The beings all around
As joy explodes again
Are rooted to the ground
With hearts burst into flames
Miracle looks so real
And hope is there again
One song is left to sing
The beauty and the pain »

Chorus: 

Max Enix and Carsten Schulz:
Eyes to the future
Eyes to see the light
Eyes made to light up
And shine into the night
Harmony in heart
The cell is in our mind
Witness the new start
It flows from blood and stars x2

Jon Pyres:
Joy and melancholy intermingled
Some are gone but some are living
As we sing our song, entangled
Some cry and some are smiling
Contemplate the Eclipse
Its not the only one
My lips against your lips
We both shall rise and shine


David Fremberg:
I know you are so tired
And you know, so am I
Of this cycles of hope
And despair, intertwined
They roll and roll endlessly
It seems without an end
Maybe because, you see,
This meaning's what is meant

Toby Driver:
In every story
Since men are the same men
Walking this Earth so lonely
Surrounded by the same

Elise wachbar:
Awareness is to come
Consciousness is to come
New cycles are to come
Weapons and viper's tongues
 


Kobi Farhi:
The loved and the unloved
Reemerging all again 


Max Enix:
For all eternity
We are part of this chain
And this is what we are
And nothing more than...

A little grain of sand
Little drops in the mist
Experimenting pain
Experimenting peace


Chorus x2: 

Max Enix and Carsten Schulz:
Eyes to the future
Eyes to see the light
Eyes made to light up
And shine into the night
Harmony in heart
The cell is in our mind
Witness the new start
It flows from blood and stars x2
 


Dan Swano:

Eyes to the Future x 4 repetition
 


Max Enix and Carsten Schulz:
 Eyes to the Future x 4 repetition

« It's like a breath that whispers
And rushes through time
Enigma from the past,
that lingers
And resound through Infinity now
The lost page of a book, hidden
The last race to a dying sun
As time is slowing down
The rain starts falling down »
 


Dan Swano:
The rain... The rain...

The RAIN... The RAIN

Jon Pyres:
Some will choose to destroy
Some will choose to despise
Some may just look for joy
Some will hide in disguise


Max Enix:
Some will choose to forget
Injuries of past wars
But some will keep reminding
Old mistakes on and on

For those who dare to care


Kobi Farhi:
Options are still opened
For those who care to dare
Same old mistakes has be done
A new ride has begun
Riding the same old horses
With all these renewed senses
May life can be erased
By power, money forces
By him, who not embraces
A hope with many faces 


« We meet around the beach
A few months later...
The children play
The air is clear, people are happy, grateful,
and laugh together,
without malice or ulterior motives... in good mood and warm understanding.
They contemplate the sky and the Horizon, the sunset
We are more and more on Earth,
And we owe it to ourselves
to be united at last.
Let's leave the rest behind »

Laurene Telannaria (+harp):
Contemplating the stars
The castles made of sand
We forget all the scars
On our souls and hands
Children will play again
The old will die again
The rest is history
The rest is Mystery

« Hatred no more
Corruption no more
Respect the nature
Protect the future
Brothers and sisters
Fathers and mothers
Daughters and sons
Moons and suns... »
 


All together: Unite

« Let the children hear your tale
Let them open up their eyes
Know this is no fairytale
Let them know this is no lies
Let them open up their hearts
Take them back now to the start
When there was something to win beyond fear and beyond sin »

« Let the birds follow their course
Let the river and its source
Be a part of who you are
Be a sun among the stars
Be a parent to your kin
Both tender and hard within
In a world that's so unclean
Be the best that they have seen
Be the sunlight in their eyes
Be the truth destroying lies
Be the rock under their feet
Be a circle now complete
Be a shadow in their back
To make yours their share of black
Be their reason to believe
There are strong reasons to live »
« We are alive I am alive
Close to home
Back again
Through the Cosmos we have appeared
Through Water and its different states we are immortal (invulnerable) Through the Water we are united »
« Eyes turned towards this hill
Eyes on that new door
Eyes looking at the river heading to the sea
The eyes that look back at that storm behind us
The eyes of a child waiting
Eyes that see a new beginning »

Max Enix:
Very old now I've done my time
It's time for me to go
To a new stage of my life
To take my leave
My time has come
The world will live on without me that's the main thing


Final solo by Timo Somers


Max Enix:
My strength is dwindling and I'm cold
It's time for me to go through this bright and golden door
It sucks me in and I am only a shadow in the distance

« Elsewhere towards this unknown
My mind is at peace where I am now
My senses are no longer the same 

And I feel light and lively again »


Max Enix:
On the other side of this door 


« I see the world differently

It looks like heaven but it's so familiar at the same time »
 


Max Enix:
On the other side of the door


Ethan: « I see a happy world filled with Love »
 


Elise wachbar:
Vision of a tear running down my cheek


Max Enix:

Through new eyes and a new appearance
