lyrics

Phase 1:


Calmness surrounds me
as I go,
attacks me every day

All this silence
makes me run away
find shelter in my head

But I know
I won't be leaving soon
yeah, I know
I'm stuck here

Will I remember
this moment
for the rest
of my life?

But I know
I won't be leaving soon
yeah, I know
I'm stuck here


No clouds in the sky
I'll make my own

will I ever miss this moment?

Waiting for the day
days never go by
waiting for the days
when everything starts

will I ever miss this moment?


Flying in purple skies
backed up with my allies

I don't know
when I'll make this come true
But I know
It's my truth


Phase 2:

Open your eyes child
open your eyes now
open your eyes and see
everything around you

No no no
don't show me
No no no
don't show me what you have

Open your eyes and see
It was only a dream

No no no
don't show me
No no no
don't show me what you have
No no no
don't show me
No no no
don't show me what you have




Phase 3:

The world
has let
me down
and I have become

Awake
and full
of hate and rage
I have become


I find
myself
surrounded by
faces with no eyes
nor ears
nor brain
just empty
smiles

Will I always be
all by myself?
Will I fight alone
on this cruzade?

I know
what I
will Do
the rest of my life

I must
I must
wake up
everyone around

Like sheep
they follow
the one
in front
I'm trapped by faces
with no head
no eyes
no ears
no brain
at all


Will I always be
all by myself?
Will I fight alone
on this cruzade?



Phase 4

(instrumental)



Phase 5


Year after year
I fought
to get my message through
Oh

I find myself
completely drained
oh

To perfect myself
I have run away
completely isolated

Do you know how it feels
to face betrayal?

Do you know how it feels
to admit you're wrong?

To perfect myself
I have run away
completely isolated

Have I wasted all this time?
nothing left but giving up
what would you do?

Do I want to be
like everybody else?
Oh

To perfect myself
I have run away
complete isolation


Have I wasted all this time?
nothing left but giving up
what should I do?


What I am
is what I do
Oh

To perfect myself
I have run away
Complete isolation


Have I wasted all this time?
nothing left but giving up
what will I do?

(even) If I wasted all my life
I would never give it(you) up



Phase 6

Can you believe I waited all my life
to see you, to hold you in my hands?


She refuses to see
the world as they paint it blank

All of my creations
do look obsolete
when I see her smile
for the first time

She refuses to accept
what others take for granted
She refuses to see
her world torn apart

She refuses to let
her world torn apart


Phase 7

A life ends
and proves
your efforts were in vain

No mercy just shame
your fate shall be the same

You've told me
that I
would be able to take the pain

You've let me
in charge
but I don't feel I can go on




I regret
the distance
I chose to take

Your ghost
will haunt me 'till the end of days

You opened
my eyes
and taught me how to see

You've let me
in charge
but I don't think I can go on



Let me out (x4)
Let me out (x4)



A life ends
you know
you'll never be the same

You absorb
the pressure
the way you alwads did

But somehow
time shows
the thing you always knew

Each second
is precious
and you're already on your countdown

Let me out (x4)





Phase 8

Do you remember
what you wanted to be?

I miss that moment

What are you waiting
to be the one
who stops the rain
as it goes by?

I'll live that moment




I refuse to let
the world torn apart
