1. Monolith of Doubt (single version)
The ordeal has begun
To oblige the unknown, within me
As I drown
Cannot remember, cannot think
As I sink, deep...
Near the monolith of doubt creeps the fear
The fear to lose yourself
In the severe reflection
I don’t know
A flashing moment that has frozen me
My whole existence passed by
Through the trusted eyes of a mirror
But it wasn’t me I could see
This monolith of everything that I have been
Is vacillated and aghast
The inexorable time has taught me once again
That my features will change and macerate me
See, it’s me, my monolith of doubt
2. For the Time Being *
Once he was someone whose honesty made me believe
that we could rely on him
Don't adhere to much to people who have no worth
and parts of life which don't last forever
He is branded as a hypocrite,
promted by the provoked will of his father
For the Time Being
Be yourself, don't conform to the opinion of others
Life is too short to fall into prudence
You needed lies to save your skin
You'd better take your own responsibilities
Desipio
Incogitabilis
I don't feel compassion anymore
You're old enough to stand up for yourself
3. Forlorn Hope
An old man is proud
but behind his modest smile lies the grief
Only one picture of his brave son remains
It seems that the vicious circle
Can never be broken through
The hopeful ones gathered their strength
To achieve the apparent impossible
But all plans seem to be in vain
As a soldier of Allah
He's an example for the others
On his bloody way to immortality
It seems that the vicious circle
Can never be broken through
Because old wounds are reopened every time
This Intifada as a device
To thwart the peace negotiations
He can rely on a reward in the hereafter
Eternal paradise awaits him
Pugnacity
With our blood
Show no mercy
With our soul
Die for heaven
An eye for an eye
Burn to let them...
Suffer for all their actions
We will not move an inch
They won't play in our hands
We will not tolerate those who defy
We will not hesitate
To start an attack
If you undermine the agreement
Let them suffer!
4. Imperfect Tenses (orchestral version) *
Why can't they see?
They're to blame, I can't forgive
It left a permanent mark behind,
My weakness, my strength
I'm waiting for the perfect sign
To reveal what lies inside
There's no lie in trying,
Why do you fear me?
Why can't you see?
There's neither blame nor forgiveness
Be strong by being susceptible,
And don't quail; your frankness is your strength
And shows their weakness
I'm / Your waiting for the perfect sign
To reveal what lies inside
There's no lie in trying
Why do you fear me?
Why should I fear you?
An open heart is just as confronting as honesty!
Why can't I forgive?
You must stop to condemn the past
Why can't this fear be my guide?
It will be your strength if you dare
There's no blame in my life
Nor forgiveness for the pain
I will show them!
Let them know who you are!
This is my/your perfect revelation
