01 - Initiation
As a new age dawns
We once again come together
And we once again hear a story
This is the story of a man
Who at a young age
Was visited by a divine being
He spent his entire life
Locating the place
This being told him of
And now, he has finally arrived at his destination
Only one obstacle stands in his way
Stands in the way of the First Acolyte
02 - First Acolyte
Twice I set off to find it
And twice I failed in the end
Inaccurate calculations
Parts I did not understand
Through trials and tribulations
I determined a new location since
This time it is the right one
I'm convinced
Yet another journey
In yet another dangerous land
There is no returning
I hold the answer in my hand
Ever since the voice spoke to me
I've known my mission, known my role
Nobody can stand up to the power I control
It's the end of the road
As I have arrived at the gate
The defenders take note of my sign
But react way too late
There is no room for diplomacy
It's the place where I ought to be
The reason I've been blessed twice
I need to get inside
I'm the First Acolyte
Hopelessly outnumbered
But I've come prepared
I know their minds are encumbered
Their fortitude impaired
They are guarding these doors
They are righteous, of course
But they cannot fathom this force
Feel the might
Of the first acolyte
It's the end of the road
As I have arrived at the gate
The defenders take note of my sign
But react way too late
There is no room for diplomacy
It's the place where I ought to be
The reason I've been blessed twice
I need to get inside
I'm the First Acolyte
There was no place for diplomacy
The place I had to be
And the reason I've been blessed twice
I'm the First Acolyte
03 - Siren In Disguise
Another prayer planted
In a garden long forgotten
Near a castle by the sea
The night comes wearing secrets
And you still don’t know what the truth is
As you make your way back home
Everything you left behind
For a truth you could not find
Oh, can you hear the voice inside
Do you know what she’s looking for
Are you asleep with open eyes
Remember you’ve been here before
Remember the true nature and the song
Of the voice inside
The siren in disguise
The dust kisses your feet
As you wander empty hallways
Always attuned to the song
Everything you left behind
For a truth you can not find
Oh, can you hear the voice inside
Do you know what she’s looking for
Are you asleep with open eyes
Remember you’ve been here before
Remember the true nature and the song
Of the voice inside
The siren in disguise
Oh, can you hear the voice inside
Do you know what she’s looking for
Are you asleep with open eyes
Remember you’ve been here before
Remember the true nature and the song
Of the voice inside
The siren in disguise
04 - A Little More
You once again realize
Something went wrong
Energy's gone
Cut your loss and move on
Restart the device
It's the end of the night
All progress is lost
Imagine the cost
Of the bounds you have crossed
And it's still not quite right
But there is still time
Keep trying
You have been here before
But the problem remains
A flaw in the core
Not enough, you need more
Disregard the constraints
Should the contract be breached
He's not one to forgive
The conclusion you've reached
Is if you want to live
You have got to submit
There might still be time
keep trying
Just a little more
Just a little more
Just a little more
More, more
A little more
You might have to decide
Which path you will take
You could turn in a fake
Admit your mistake
Or pack up and ride
You'll make one last attempt
At noon he'll arrive
One last time you attend
To this cursed device
Which judges your life
There is no more time
Keep trying
Just a little more
Just a little more
Just a little more
More, more
A little more
The penultimate town
Your senses distort
Still you're not slowing down
You're making more ground
As you head for the port
There's salvation at sea
It's the only way out
The one place where to flee
From this dark turnabout
That your actions allowed
There is no more time, keep riding
Just a little more
Just a little more
Just a little more
Just a little more
Just a little more
More, more
A little more
05 - Long Way From Neverland
One more night
One more curtain
And she bows
To the silent hall
From the back
She can hear a tired voice
Is it time to go
In her sigh
There’s a question
In her walk
There’s a prayer to the stage
No applause
And no flowers in her arms
It is time to go
But tomorrow she’ll be here again
With the light in her eyes
She’s a long way from Neverland
Searching for a better end
Fortune and dreams on the go
She still believes in her Neverland
The journey that never ends
Where she is the star of the show
She recalls
Silver moments
In these very halls
She was beautiful
No remorse
Only flowers in her arms
So much time to go
Yes tomorrow she’ll be here again
With the light in her eyes
She’s a long way from Neverland
Searching for a better end
Fortune and dreams on the go
She still believes in her Neverland
The journey that never ends
Where she is the star of the show
Yes tomorrow she’ll be here again
With the light in her eyes
She’s a long way from Neverland
Searching for a better end
Fortune and dreams on the go
She still believes in her Neverland
The journey that never ends
Where she is the star of the show
06 - To War
The die had been cast
When the truth came to light
The call was made
Orders are here at last
We deploy tonight
It's time to strike back
We will settle this score
Decisive attack
Soon we ride to war
To War
To War
To War
To War
Instructions are clear
Route the enemy, advance
Break through all fortifications
They won't stand a chance
This is our fate
We have done this before
This is our mandate
Now we ride to war
To War
To War
To War
To War
Approach is secured
Go ahead, give ‘em hell
There is war all around
We are duty-bound
As they fall to the ground
We are advancing
Give up and die
We are too strong to defy
The way you live is misguided
We are in the right here
Why resist
Why do you even exist
What are you fighting for
Why did you go
To War
To War
To War
To War
Advance
They are no match
We are one unstoppable force
Despite tactical disadvantage
We gain ground, of course
This will be their end
We draw strength from the oath we swore
They refused to surrender
And forced us into war
To War
To War
To War
To War
Stop, stop
Stay put, there, there’s a problem
The offensive slows down
There's still war all around
As we fall to the ground
We're no longer advancing
Yes we are strong
Surely they're wrong, wrong, wrong
They are inferior, defective
We're the ones selected
But why do we die
Why was all this a lie
What were we fighting for
Why did we go
To War
To War
To War
To War
To War
To War
To War
To War
07 - Lies
There is a dark side to everything
There is a winter for every spring
There is a feather for every rock
Something is broken on every clock
Someone is sleeping when you are awake
Someone is weeping for what’s at stake
There is someone in pain while you still run
Something is ending that’s just begun
We’re all caught up in the web of life
We all have stories we try to hide
Like a permanent presence that colors the truth
We reject its essence, we always choose
All these precious lies
All these empty lies
We never live by our own advice
We create the future we say we despise
For all these lies to take root in this world
It takes only a thought and a spoken word
All these precious lies
All these empty lies
There is a dark side to everything
There is a winter for every spring
There is a feather for every rock
Something is broken
All these precious lies
All these empty lies
All these precious lies
All these empty lies
08 - Stay Where You Are
We had selected the retainers
An opportunity to rise
But we did not dare to strike
Those affected would go on and blame us
They would scream and shout
We were driven out
It's been a month since our last encounter
Hostile forces on both sides
We are few but we're alive
Danger rises at the edge of night
When the herald appears
And the reckoning nears
Still we hope they survive
And don't fall prey to its lies
Stay where you are
Don't leave your home tonight
The red moon will indict
Anyone in its sight
And its jurors are never far
So stay where you are
A howl of terror
As it starts unfolding
Periapsis has been achieved
But its full power was not reached
There’s still hope
That they were not deceived
But the night is still young
There’s still much more to come
So we hope they stay at home
Not for their sake but our own
Stay where you are
Don't leave your home tonight
The red moon will indict
Anyone in its sight
And its jurors are never far
So stay where you are
09 - Darling Demigod
She spent a hundred years
Trapped inside the bark
Like a fool she did believe
when you told her there was a spark
You thought she’d stay forever locked inside
But her time is back in bloom
Prepare, she'll break away soon
You better run my darling Demigod
She’s not forgotten what you did
And she’s aching for a fight
So run, oh run, my darling Demigod
Never cross her sight again
Or you’ll pay for all your sins
My darling Demigod
You’re too beautiful to care
About the mess you leave behind
All the gods adore you
All the girls stay by your side
Her wrath will bring all your dark deeds to light
No smile will save you now
Run for your life
You better run my darling Demigod
She’s not forgotten what you did
And she’s aching for a fight
So run, oh run, my darling Demigod
Never cross her sight again
Or you’ll pay for all your sins
My darling Demigod
You better run my darling Demigod
She’s not forgotten what you did
And she’s aching for a fight
So run, oh run, my darling Demigod
Never cross her sight again
Or you’ll pay for all your sins
My darling Demigod
10 - Ship That NEver Sailed
Another sunrise
Just another day
One more loved one
To leave behind
Another mountain
Another climb
One more current of life
You are getting closer
To the shadows in your mind
It’s hard to breathe through the pain
That haunts your life
Falling in circles
Waiting for the final sign
Horizons align
You’re watching the ocean
For a ship that never sailed
You poured your emotion
Into everything and failed
The darkness you called
Whispers in your ear
It speaks in your voice
Feeding you fear
Your life is waning
Before it has begun
You’ve sung the song of their grief
For far too long
Will you keep falling
Or will you make the final climb
Horizons align
You’re watching the ocean
For a ship that never sailed
You poured your emotion
Into everything and failed
The darkness you called
Whispers in your ear
It speaks in your voice
Feeding you fear
Horizons align
Still watching the ocean
For a ship that never sailed
You poured your emotion
Into everything and failed
The darkness you called
Whispers in your ear
It speaks in your voice
Feeding you fear
11 - What Sleeps In This Land
What sleeps in this land
Testament to an age of terror and wonder
Awaiting resurrection
By the hands of its last disciples
Who by now do not understand
What sleeps in this land
What sleeps in this land
Remnant of what was once divinity
A presence eternal
Benevolent origin of kindness
Before the crisis that led to its bitter end
What sleeps in this land
Buried and forgotten
As the world went up in flames
With its body long since rotten
Only anguish remains
Just a specter of a past
That did not treat it kindly
Goodwill didn't last
They tormented it blindly
When it fell on this land
It was seen as an omen
A gift from the gods
The salvation they sent
For the famine ran rampant
There was death at each door
The plague tore through this land
Divided by war
Now we must pay for what they have done
Return the kindness and repent one by one
This is our domain and we make amends
Here and now, if we wake
What sleeps in this land
We're the only ones who know
What sleeps in this land
It is time to reunite with
What sleeps in this land
What sleeps in this land
About to awaken
And see its resurrection
Finally they will understand
What sleeps in this land
We’re the only ones who know
What sleeps in this land
This is our domain and we make amends
Here and now, if we wake
What sleeps in this land
