1. To Travel Within
I've sailed on crimson seas
I've wondered endless planes
I've seen beyond the stars
I'm there but still I'm here
Free your imagination
And all secrets within
Use your imagination
And you'll travel within
I've chased the rainbow's end
I've touched it's hidden gold
I've tasted the serpent's kiss
It's sour but still so sweet
Free your imagination
And all secrets within
Use your imagination
And you'll travel within
Open up your mind
To see what lies within
Close your eyes and fly
Our journey will begin
You fly above the clouds
You grace an angel's wing
You fly like Peter Pan
Like a bird but still a man
Free your imagination
And all secrets within
Use your imagination
And you'll travel within
Free your imagination
And all secrets within
Use your imagination
And you'll travel within
Free your imagination
And all secrets within
Use your imagination
And you'll travel within
Free your imagination
And all secrets within
Use your imagination
And you'll travel within
[repeat and fade]
2. The Passage...
Lost in labyrinths
Trapped on threshold to reality
An invisible twin
A shortcut to insanity
The loyal best friend that I dreamed up
Took advantage of my vastness of weak spots
I had no nobody and neither did he
So I let him share my body - weird idea
Dethroned it's master wore a cloth of confusion
This disembodied body thing has grown out of propotion
We've come too far to stop now, I got everything to gain
And some say insane is sane.
3. A Passenger On Psycho's Path
Is this for real?
What is this thing that I feel?
I'm so confused
Control I lose
I'm beeing abused
Save me from myself
Upon the psycho's path [4x]
Some say sane is insane
It may damage your brain
I say nothingness reign
Am I myself?
If not I'm me, who am I?
Behold, I change
Before your eyes
I'm changing shape
Save me from myself
Upon the psycho's path [4x]
Some say nothingness reign
It may damage your brain
I say sane is insane
Did you hear the voice that whispered?
As I elbowed through the crowd
That's my disembodied spirit
Even silence is too loud, loud, loud, loud
I realize I'm stuck on psycho's path
4. I Am
Lost and lonely, fed on fears
Silent crying, 'cause no one hears
I'm abandoned, I lost my faith
A bitter taste of my tears
I am lost, forever lost
Can't you heal me?
I am burning, I can not hide
I am nothing, I lost my pride
Stumbling further on the path
Where my last hope slowly died
I am lost, forever lost
Can't you heal me?
I have struggled far too long
Now I'm weaker, I'm not so strong
Give me guidance, give me strength
Take my hand 'cause we belong
Am I lost, forever lost?
You can heal me
I have struggled too long
You can heal me
I am nothing but lost
You can heal me
I have struggled too long
You can heal me
I am nothing byt lost
You can heal me
5. Misery Song
Look in my eyes, tell me what you see
A glimpse of life's misery
Left in the dark like a little boy
No more mom and dad's pride and joy
Don't let me live in solitude
Don't let me die in solitude
Listen to me as I sing my song
Tell me what I have done wrong
Left in the sandpit, a broken toy
No more anyone's pride and joy
Don't let me live in solitude
Don't let me die in solitude
Wayward and cold, there's no place for me
No one to grant me, my plea
Left in despair, I'm a little boy
No more will I feel pride or joy
Don't let me live in solitude
Don't let me die in solitude
You let me live in solitude
You let me die in solitude
6. Just Another Morbid Tune
A rainy morning, another day
The shadows dancing their weird ballet
Their waltz surrounds me, they're closing in
My thoughts are drifting, delivering
Another morbid tune
Their fast cadenza bewitches me
My world is fading, how can this be?
I hear myself, it's a strange ordeal
The tune I play, what can it conceal?
Another morbid tune
Sweetly whispering it takes control
Of my body and my soul
Trying so hard to entice my mind
To leave my sanity behind
Drifting deeper in to depths unknown
I work my fingers to the bone
I try to play with passion, grace and style
To hit the note that I'm beguile
The veils of concience will gade to grey
Enchanting notes, they lead me astray
The room is spinning, it's turning fast
The demons of my mind, free at last
Another morbid tune
7. My Secret Garden
There's a place in my heart
You will never see
A cold and lifeless garden
The graveyard of my soul
Black clouds kill the light
A twisted soul's delight
Eternal darkness
My secret garden
The seasons they might change
But cold winds blowing still
Nursing seeds of hatred
The only thing that spring
Black clouds kill the sun
The twisted soul has won
Eternal winter
My secret garden
A bible black deceivers
The Judas of our time
Blinded eyes can't see
The twisted soul in me
Eternal darkness
My secret garden
Eternal winter
My secret garden
Eternal darkness
My secret garden
Eternal winter
My secret garden
8. Crown Of Thorns
9. Heathendom
Damn of darkness' unbroken beams
Blinds their eyes and steals their dreams
Torch -lit figures against the black
Nuns berzek the way thay've planned the attack
Close your eyes so you can see
Heathendom, only sinners bleed, Heathemdom
Brace your selves, embrace your sense
Heathendom, be no infidels, Heathendom
Shield your ears so you can hear
Heathemdom, Armageddon't near, Heathendom
Heathendom
They are many but they are weak
We are few but we are strong
Heathendom
Dark deceivers by lightnings struck
Spineless creatures runs amock
Odin's punishment when betrayed
I can see in darkness, I'm not afraid
Close your eyes so you can see
Heathendom, only sinners bleed, Heathendom
Brace your selves, embrace your sense
Heathendom, be no infidels, Heathendom
Shield your ears so you can hear
Heathemdom, armageddon't near, Heathendom
My kinsemen were no sinners until
They began to follow someone elses will
Who are those who knows what is best for me
Evangels or angels, spreading their gospel
From Heaven sent by the king of kings
To save us from ourselves and mortal sins
God knows forgiveness, it's human to fail
In life, death and other morbid tales
Tales of wonders and walks upon water
Nothing but sorrow is what they've brought here
Weather with or against the new Messiah
Foes shall be cleansed in the lake of fire
Grant me strength to carry it's weight
A pagan's yoke of bondage
Inherited faith in unison with hate
Hear my heathen prayer
If magic mist shall vanish it must
Be over my dead body
Faithful breath, the breath that I breathe
Must go on from father to son, I'll bequeath
Bequeath, bequeath
Heathendom, Heathendom
Heathendom, Heathendom...
