1. Introduction
(music: W. Braam)
Welcome to my world...
2. My World
(music: Annatar, lyrics: M. v.d. Hout)
The guardian of the final door
swallows the lies…
‘till truth dies, and rain pours down, forevermore
Am I just a figure in
a chess game…
What will remain? Where will I go?
I introduce you to my world…
Welcome to my mind…
Doubts inside are rising, am I
a fallen one?
What is the answer to it all?
Far away, at the other side,
will my spirit prevail?
Will it lose, will it win or will it fail?
I introduce you to my world…
My thoughts invite you in…
Once you’ve found your promised land, don’t forget what you left.
The world is crying out in these evil times…
Waiting for a new day to come…
No one asked if I wanted, or
if I liked it….
laughtering surrounds me…
God knows how hard I tried to change faith
but it is all misunderstood,
I never took the right lane.
I introduce you to my world…
Welcome to my mind…
No one is by my side, no one remains…
Evil eyes are tearing down my world…
But something is waiting, is it my promised destiny?
Or am I fooled by just another?
Who really cares?
Throw down the walls, tear down this world
full of lies…
Wake up from this circus, look around and see…
I will remain like the early breeze
in the morning.
My fairytale will start, I will prevail.
I introduce you to my world…
My thoughts invite you in…
Once you’ve found your promised land, don’t forget what you left.
The world is crying out in these evil times…
Waiting for a new day to come…
3. In Nomine
(music: Annatar, lyrics: M. Konings)
Farewell my son
take care, it won't be long
till the end of your crusade.
embrace your god, ignore your fate
marching through the street
of sin and make believe
in the name of the media
tell me which god is in your heart
that wants mankind to fall apart
new found lies, the truth is bent
we are not heaven-sent
marching through the street
of sin and make believe
in the name of the media
I'll be here, wondering what’s worse
that they expect you to die, or me awaiting your hearse
till the end of your crusade.
Embrace your god, ignore your fate.
4. Quest for Reality
(music: Annatar, lyrics: M. v.d. Hout)
The mists rise from the deep,
A memory fades to black.
The past I am trying to keep
Alive, I want it back.
There won’t be a turning back.
Just this journey through my inner thoughts
I will be lost in an endless sea…
I’m drifting away from the world.
Lost in my fantasy,
I’m on a quest for reality.
I walk again in the dark moonlight,
My spirit is failing me.
All the things I now see,
They drift away by night.
There’s still a turning back.
From this journey through my inner thoughts
I won’t get lost in this endless sea…
I’m drifting away from the world.
Lost in my fantasy,
I’m on a quest for reality.
All what’s in my head are lies,
I want to go back to ancient times.
Fill the holes, clear my mind,
A final answer I will find!
5. Perception
(music: Annatar, lyrics: M. de Vries, H.P. van Braam, M. v.d. Hout)
Cold and alone, empty inside
the sad story of her petty life.
Nothing was worth fighting for.
Se seemed to live a lucid dream,
if only you could have seen,
her gliding through velvet skies with butterflies.
A young woman trapped in her own world.
Holding her breath, while she was waiting
for her pretty future to arrive.
Her eyes could not see far in the distance,
the darkness surrounding her sight.
Dreamland right in front of her,
she could not find her way.
If only her hearth would lead her,
she should find her way there.
Far away, at the end of the world
there is a dreamland waiting for you.
High above, at the edge of the world
there is a dreamland calling to you.
(Still) Cold and alone, empty inside
the sad ending of her petty life.
Nothing was worth fighting for.
Se seemed to live a lucid dream,
if only you could have seen,
her gliding through velvet skies with butterflies.
A young woman trapped in her own world.
6. Echoes from the past
(music: Annatar, lyrics: M. v.d. Hout)
Our love would last forever and ever.
I tell you now…
Forever seems to have passed by.
Nothing would take us apart, never…
still it came, somehow…
(I) cannot say how, (I) cannot see why.
Our fate was sealed by an unknown force.
Our love was meant to be.
Although we were driven apart,
we’ll always be together in my mind.
And all is lost, it can’t be undone.
now I find myself in a dark hole of despair.
But as I fall, a new hope shines on me…
Was it really me, or could we never be…
Sometimes I feel,
like an echo from the past, slowly passing by…
As I look inside my memories,
and what do I see?
Echoes coming back for me…
7. Our Embrace
(music: Annatar, lyrics: M. v.d. Hout, M. de Vries)
Every night we say goodbye,
(feels every time as if I die.)
Through my pain and through my tears,
I wish away all my fears.
I want to know what we have done,
do we deserve a fate like this?
All I know is that we will fight
for our embrace for evermore.
And the tears covered your face
as the light went away,
the night ended our embrace
and marked the end of the day.
I opened my heart and let my feelings go
These emotions, perfectly,
deeply hidden within my soul.
I want to know what we have done,
is there an answer and where is it?
Through our pain and through our tears,
we wish away all our fears.
And the tears covered your face
as the light went away,
the night ended our embrace
and marked the end of the day.
My tears will dry someday…
I will fly towards the light,
and this light will warm my face…
So, the sun will dry the tears I have shed and I have made...
I’ve come to the conclusion:
There is no other way,
although we both want it to be otherwise.
Today will be the day that we’ll both die…
But we must be strong,
our ways will part, but our hearths will not.
You will be protecting me from far away,
For our lust we will burn in hell,
salvation comes after damnation.
On one day we will fly away,
freedom will come after this damnation.
And our light will warm your face
as the light will stay that day.
The night will mark our embrace
and the end will stay away.
