5. Journey In Time
6. Gaia
1. The Majestic
Gathering in silence, wisdom ages old
Rule from the hiding, rumours will be told
Masters of the unknown, forever they evade
No matter where you seek, no evidence remains
Believe what you will
In this world confused
Whatever brings you peace
Or takes it away
Scheming and plotting, work behind the scenes
Architects of confusion, nothing's what it seems
Shaping what we know, rewriting history
Bringing hate and sorrow, controlling destiny
Blame what you will
In this world confused
Whatever brings you peace
Or makes you insane
Could it be
They are the Majestic
Eye at the top shows the way
Centuries
They rule as the Majestic
You never know, but yet you obey
Or do you look at the wrong
way the true tyrants might be in
Plain view we each make choices
That affect the world around us
2. Create & Destroy
Tearing down the structures
Following the path unseen
Waking to a nightmare
Nothing's what it has been
Now it's the time
To take your stand
Hundreds of lives
In your hand
Create, Create & Destroy
The new path is there for them to see
Create, Create & Destroy
Way of the future, way it's meant to be
(Solo: Manne)
The Hero, the Saviour
But what is it that you offer?
A better tomorrow
But first many have to suffer
Heaven's gate opens
Blown to nothingness
The aftermath, the terror
You're not here to witness
3. Hail The King
Everything you see, the part of the truth
The Earth and the sky, the stars and the moon
Why do we find ourselves here
Is there a greater plan?
How did it all begin
And how will it end?
Tremendous forces, freely at play
Creating galaxies, moulding like clay
Planting the seed of life
From distance watch it grow
Freedom of choice was given
So where will we go?
We shall go paths of glory
In what we do the praise we sing
Through the pain and the madness
We're gonna hail the King
Hail, Hail the King
Hail, Hail the King
(Solos: Manne, Rape)
Why are we here? Maybe to learn
Whatever you will do, to you it returns
Balance is hard to find
Let's hope it isn't too late
Forces of madness growing
It's time to fight our fate
4. Losing Control
If you never question, if you live by the rules
We'll see that you get rewarded
There are certain limits, never meant to be crossed
They were put there for your own good
If you only knew
What we had to do
To get where we are
Maybe it would blow your mind
Maybe you'd still never
Understand
Losing control of your own life
For a system you cannot comprehend
Small price to pay for your well-being
You'd never make it on your own
(Solo: Rape)
Why, must we go on faster
What happens to those who cannot last
Bodies are chewed out, sucking all the lifeforce
For the common good that you define
You will need the pain, to appreciate pleasure
A simple question of balance
All carefully measured, things are under control
And it will go on forever
If you only knew
What we had to do
To get where we are
5. Journey In Time
What if there was a chance
To return to the past
Or look into future
Through wormholes rotating fast
Conflicts arising, possibilities unseen
Bend the flow of time
Too hard to believe?
An unreal journey, the ultimate quest
Enormous the power in your hands
But what would you find and what could you change
Playing with unknown, time in your command
Knowing now your mistakes
But would you do them just the same
Knowing what will happen
Would you break under the strain
Only a theory, perhaps never realized
Who'd have the privilege
To cross the bounds of time
Would you wish to undo
Would you wish to never have lived
To create this invention
And the possibilities it will give
(Solos: Rape, Manne)
Fate in your hands
Sinking into quicksand
With every change that you make?
6. Gaia
Staring into a blackness vast from inside
It's frightening to realize
Standing on the edge of abyss open wide
One way to go - decision time
Can you tell me what did go wrong
Away from the light for so long
Please forgive us Mother Gaia
All the deeds we have done
Places of power and wisdom buried now
Forgotten, the link has broken down
Hatred, negative thoughts, an all consuming force
What will it take to turn around
How and when will this era end
Changes coming there's no defense
Please forgive us Mother Gaia
All the deeds we have done
Give us one moment to see
How far we have gone
Before all is lost
