Under brooding skies and watchful eyes On convulsive seas of false urgency We walk empty corridors in vain |

(J.M. / F.A.) Enter young man Welcome Cast your dreams, I'll show you what you feel Walk but keep the road I've paved Know of nothing else I, the one to guide your mind I breed in stealth (J.M.) I am master, soon you'll see Shape your world what you'll be Follow me Or choose to bleed Read my book memorize Disregard your mind You may see only through my eyes Save me someone's come to change me Misled, delusions color real Black and white, they'll never paint me Never see until you feel (F.A.) I will keep my own time What's yours is really mine I won't let you swallow me your doctrines will not shine Rebellion is your pestilence I'll never be confined Forever you shall yield to me ANARCHY DIVINE! Save me someone's come to change me Misled, delusions color real Black and white, they'll never paint me Never see until you feel |

|
Born to an air of apathy indifference shapes a fragile mind. Questions formed at an early age beg answers unasked. Silent cries behind curious eyes resides a child who cannot speak. Silent cries Years find a mind alone whose questions flow too deep for words. Covered in a shroud of silence watching the world go by. Silent cries behind outcast eyes, hides a child who cannot speak. Silent cries (J.M. / F.A.) Time blindly races on towards the autumn years Seasons unheeded pass while we all drown in tears. Questions unanswered remain alone they mourn a fragile mind Silent cries behind lifeless eyes lies a child who cannot speak. Silent cries Silent cries |

We were born to brave good weather Stormy seas in search for treasure Light you wield must blind another Doomed to run forevermore How much more, can I take And how much more, 'till I break (F.A.) Rain will poor again today Neverending daze cascades Torn inside is there a way To be freed before I fade How much longer, can I hold I live no longer, in this cold (J.M.) Close your eyes what do you see Dreams in rhyme with reality Or life to die in black scenery Empty shells and what could be (J.M.) How much more, can I take And how much more, 'till I break How much longer, can I hold I live no longer, in this cold In this cold I live no longer, in this, this cold |

By black we ride, or so they say Our need for reason, their greed is paid Powers rumble for spiritual sway Paths are laid then leaders stray It's right then left, which way to turn Follow me or forever burn We evil blessed, bring your soul to sell All wish away into empty wells Fortunes found in holy halls Redeem your every fault When dogmas given are blindly held And treasures given caught Any wish can only last Until the spell's descried While subtle, wicked ways They fracture weakened minds (F.A. / J.M.) Slaves of a different kind march to broken bells Freedom in a bind and make it all sound well Blackened blue etched in glass forming outer walls Tell clearly of the emptiness and mute distressful calls Lines lead to dead ends where Plays seen are never clear And those who ride never fare Crowned voids forever rule In worlds lived and learned of fools Conformity's the teachers' tool |

I. Innocence (instrumental) II. Cold Daze The coldness of confusion It hangs in the morning air as Brazen bells ring reality To announce the conquerer dawn. (F.A.) Removed from nights fleeting trance Plunged headlong into cold days Where in a circle we wander The barren wastes of our pasts. III. Daylight Dreamers Daylight dreamers awaken on Deserts of desperation Lonely lives learn to live on islands of isolation. Surrounded by violent oceans of hate and hopeless sorrows Daylight dreamers envision tranquil seas in safe tomorrows. Dreaming through the darkened day Along tempest torn strands Desperately grasping the grains of hope that flit through our hands As they fall we tighten our hold While the waves claim the final few taken without ceremony They drift out of view. Washed away with the tides of time Slipped through our fingers as dreams do. IV. Quietus From sleeping visions Daily we're torn In waking hours Hopes are forlorn. Is all we do and all we dream doomed to drown in a hopeless stream? Wishing life were made of lasting visions in eternal sleep And if that rest were filled with sorrow still we'd sleep. In the madness of a silent eternity We'd find solace in False visions that protect us from reality. Enter ivory gates through midnite skies Daylight dreamers in private parades Perform before perpetual dawn As dusk engulfs the gate of horn. Ivory towers appear beyond the gate Invisible fortresses of escape Traversed by ramparts made of hopes and fears Impervious to reality. V. Ivory Tower Behind sullen doors Untouched within Safe from summer storms and winter winds Relentless tempests Can weaken walls Towers falter when reality calls. (J.M. / F.A) Untouchable by all without Lost in the silken web youth may weave Tangled threads seem a stronghold But illusions can deceive. A cold daze plagues the air Driven by aging winds. The walls give way to the rush and let reality in. (J.M.) VI. Whispers on the wind Misty morning on a windswept plain Embers of a fortress all that remain. (J.M.) The seeds of life that burned within have flown like whispers on the wind. From the sleepers world I look towards darkening skies Through the violet haze of summer storms The sun leaves tired eyes. VII.Acquiescence Betrayed by innocence Deceived by delusions Plagiarized promises Pale into empty hopes. Ivory towers bow down In reverence to daylight As dreamers awaken In sleepers somber shade. (J.M / F.A.) Ocean waves shift leaving only memories. Final traces of hope are swallowed in the deep. Despair sends a certain calm A vague sense of relief Released from all our longings Silently we'll sleep. Hope leads to quiet desperation When reality obscures the dream Makes the mind a grave of memories That wander like the lonely breeze Whose whispers echo through ruins rust of towers torn and dreams turned to dust. VIII. Retrospect (instrumental) |
