1. The Perfect Machine

"...therefore, I confirm you a new era for humankind is about to begin.
A new era, where illness and most of all death will be no more.
Hail this new dawn, all of you! Finally we turned Man...
into The Perfect Machine!"

Welcome to a new dawn
A new era begins today
Now new future calls
And we are the ones, yes
It's calling our names

Welcome to your new world
We can build it together... Day by day
Now we have all the time
And no need to rush, we won't be late

We're taking down our heavens
Here, where it was supposed to be
Here on Earth, where humans will live forever free

Days will be Months, Months will be years
We'll be together, standing here
Waiting for another day
(Waiting for another day)
Tonight we will forget our fears, we'll turn'em into pride
I made it true, I made it real
The Perfect Machine's here

Ever since my first breath
I felt like a dying butterfly
In the space of a day
Livin' it's full satisfying new life

In the space of our years
We cheat ourselves to escape our fate
'Till the moment arrives
Showing our lives last no longer than a day

Old days are gone forever
I wanna freeze my life so that
Through this whole new age my existence can go on...

Days will be Months, Months will be years
We'll be together, standing here
Waiting for another day
(Waiting for another day...)
Tonight we will forget our fears, we'll turn'em into pride
I made it true, I made it real
The Perfect Machine's here

Let's go my friends, I came just for you
The days gone by... Let's turn this page of doom
It's time to try... Time for you to set it right
(Time for you to set it right...)
To take our dreams and don't let'em go, never let'em go

Open your windows of fantasy
And welcome this new vibe coming on right for you
Like a whole new life... Like a whole new life
Now we're coming here to stay

Days will be Months, Months will be years
We'll be together, standing here
Waiting for another day
(Waiting for another day...)
Tonight we will forget our fears, we'll turn'em into pride
I made it true, I made it real
The Perfect Machine's here

Days will be Months, Months will be years
We'll be together, standing here
Waiting for another day
(Waiting for another day...)
Tonight we will forget our fears, we'll turn'em into pride
I made it true, I made it real
The Perfect Machine's here


2. First Day Of A Never-Ending Day

Come on here with me
Listen to my words...
You don't have to close your eyes
There's a cry coming from a new world

A new age I have dreamt before is our destiny
Everything you ever wanted won't die, end or fall

Take your life in your hands, my son
Now it's time that you take control
Live it just like it is...
Don't let it wait too long

Right here, right now
Your first day of a never-ending day
Right here reach out in this never-ending life
No complains or regrets in your head

Just to save your life
I fought against time
I can tell God's never cared
Never listened to my cries and my prayers

Someone said that I lost my soul
We're all partners in crime
Just to be part of a Sin
Death won't waltz to our side

Take your life in your hands, my son
Now it's time that you gain control
Live it just like it is...
Don't let it wait too long

Right here, right now
Your first day of a never-ending day
Right here reach out in this never-ending life
All complains and regrets right behind
Right here, right now
Your first day of a never-ending day
Right here reach out in this never-ending life
Your first day on a brand new world in front of you

When dreams are too distant from our real life
You have to try harder
Believe in yourself
No one else can grab your tomorrow
Where are you God?
The stars are shining on and on

Where have you been?
That night that I called for your sign?
(I called for your sign...)
I was crying, I was bleeding
Remember my crying... "Just save him, save his life tonight"
You won't take the blame
But now I take his life back
I'm taking it back...
I'm taking it back...
I'm taking it back...

Right here, right now
Your first day of a never-ending day
Right here reach out in this never-ending life
No complains or regrets in your head

Right here, right now
Your first day of a never-ending day
Right here reach out in this never-ending life
Your first day on a brand new world in front of you...
...In front of you...


3. The Ancestor's Blood

God, powerful God
Are your sons getting free?
God, uh... Powerful Lord
Don't you hear their screams?

Screams, for what they achieved
The final frontier
Where, at the end of the run
We'll all have our prize

We've run through the waves of the Centuries
Repeating the story itself
To give our existence a future
To give others time to succeed

(In my Blood)
And now I'm the last of the sequence that started
How many million years ago? Who knows...
(In my Blood)
Gathering the teaching of masters who shared their knowledge
With all the children 'round the world
In our veins still flows a part of our ancestors' blood

God, powerful God
Don't you see it's time to
Go, uh... For all of your sons?
We just want to walk alone

We've run through the waves of the Centuries
Repeating the story itself
To give our existence a future
To give others time to succeed

(In my Blood)
And now I'm the last of the sequence that started
How many million years ago? Who knows...
(In my Blood)
Gathering the teaching of masters who shared their knowledge
With all the children 'round the world
In our veins still flows a part of our ancestors' blood

We've run through the waves of the Centuries
Repeating the story itself
To give our existence a future
To give others time to succeed

(In my Blood)
And now I'm the last of the sequence that started
How many million years ago? Who knows...
(In my Blood)
Gathering the teaching of masters who shared their knowledge
With all the children 'round the world
In our veins still flows a part of our ancestors' blood
...Your blood...


4. Land Of Fear

If I try to realize the great time we're living in
To forget the fear I've been hiding
In a broken theater I'm playing my last act

I fall shaking and start to recall
If it's a dream don't take me back
Don't wake me up back to my sorrow
Where the grim gray melts with pain

All this time, every day
Afraid to face my latest day
Then you came, and you said
"No, I won't let you fall away"

We're leaving from a land of Fear
Looking for more
We're just leaving from this old world
We're leaving from a land of Fear
Admire this new dawn
We're heading for a new horizon
We're leaving from a land of Fear
Tell me... How do you feel?
Take my hand I won't let you go away
We're leaving from a land of Fear
Where your dreams were so dark
Leave this old world apart...

Take me away from the dark, it slowly surrounds me
Where the sun rays will blaze on me
Take me away from this earth rejecting me

Down here my body weakens and falls
Withering slowly, heart and soul
I need you now, now and tomorrow
Let me dream a little more...

Let me breathe, let me cry
Don't let go this heart of mine
Let me feel, let me hear
Yeah, your voice hushing my despair

We're leaving from a land of Fear
Looking for more
We're just leaving from this old world
We're leaving from a land of Fear
Admire this new dawn
We're heading for a new horizon
We're leaving from a land of Fear
Tell me... How do you feel?
Take my hand I won't let you go away
We're leaving from a land of Fear
Where your dreams were so dark
Leave this old world apart...

All this time, every day
Afraid to face my latest day
Then you came, and you said
"No, I won't let you fall away"

We're leaving from a land of Fear
Looking for more
We're just leaving from this old world
We're leaving from a land of Fear
Admire this new dawn
We're heading for a new horizon
I'm leaving from a land of Fear
Tell me... How do you feel?
Take my hand I won't let you go away
I'm leaving from a land of Fear
Where your dreams were so dark
Leave this old world apart...

I'm leaving from a land of Fear
Tell me... How do you feel?
I won't let you go away from me
I'm leaving from a land of Fear
Where your dreams were so dark
Leave this old world apart...


5. God Is Dead

I assume I'll disappear...

How dare you to drive me away?
So you think you can live without me...
I may not deserve your love...
Alright then, you got it

Come to me, my faithful sons
Angels, close the gates of Heaven
Seal them "Seven Seven Seven"
Let 'em get just what they want

Don't you call my name, I won't answer
You won't find me right there by your side
From now on you're just left on your own
Take your freedom, now I'm done
Don't look for my presence in Churches
They're no longer my home anymore
Just take your new life, and live on your own
Yeah, here's the news for you... God is dead!

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Like it was meant to be
So you think you found the key
And own all the answers

Come to me, my faithful sons
Angels, close the gates of Heaven
Seal them "seven seven seven"
Let 'em get just what they want

Don't you call my name, I won't answer
You won't find me right there by your side
From now on you're just left on your own
Take your freedom, now I'm done
Don't look for my presence in Churches
They're no longer my home anymore
Just take your new life, and live on your own
Yeah, here's the news for you... God is dead!

Don't you call my name, I won't answer
You won't find me right there by your side
From now on you're just left on your own
Take your freedom, now I'm done
Don't look for my presence in Churches
They're no longer my home anymore
Just take your new life, and live on your own
(On your own...)
Yeah, here's the news for you... God is dead!
Yeah!!!


6. Rising Sun

Father tell me, you still there, or not?
I seem like a clown, I know
I didn't ever know if I could trust in you
And now I'm looking for you

But the world is unfold to dark
And future stops, hidden by a mysterious veil
Everybody looks so unreal
All those faces with no smiles
Only hopes rolling deeper in the night

And nothing can give me enough just to make me feel
Like a hunger that's burning deep inside
I thought I got everything
But everything went away from me

Maybe we feel we own something
Maybe... And new emotions come
Only when they come from nothing, out of rules
Maybe we feel we lost something
And maybe... How can we feel the joy
Of a rising sun announcing the new day?

It's so hard to say I'm sorry, sometimes,
Still don't see the reason why
But this apathy is running on, you see
Where have I lead this World?

Now tell me... Where has all of my science gone?
We're returning to the Golden Age but the honey is bad
Why don't we invest our time just to get to eternity?
Our needs and promises we've lost...

And nothing can give me enough just to make me feel
Like a hunger that's burning deep inside
I thought I got everything
But everything went away from me

Maybe we feel we own something
Maybe... And new emotions come
Only when they come from nothing, out of rules
Maybe we feel we lost something
And maybe... How can we feel the joy
Of a rising sun announcing the new day?
Maybe we feel we own something
Maybe... And new emotions come
Only when they come from nothing, out of rules
Maybe we feel we lost something
Oh, maybe... How can we feel the joy
Of a rising sun announcing the new day?

Maybe we feel we own something
And maybe... And a new emotion comes
Only when it comes from nothing, out of rules

Maybe we feel we lost something...

And nothing can give me enough just to make me feel
Like a hunger that's burning deep inside
I thought I got everything
But everything went away from me


7. Here In 6048

Here, in 6048
Where the future is so real
Where everything should be so great

No more dying or diseases
There is nothing left to fear
And everything should be so fair

We're looking like fallen heroes, we can't slip away
Eternal life made us forget the reason why we're here

Tell me, tell me, where I've gone
God, you don't need to lie
Look into my eyes
Tell me, tell me what is love
I can't remember
My heart' so weak

Here in 6048
We all have lost our faith
And nothing matters to me, to us...

Joy, Fear, love and hate
Are feelings we can't taste
There ain't nothing left we need to hold

We're looking like fallen heroes, we can't slip away
(We can't slip away...)
Eternal life made us forget the reason why we're here
Just tell me why I'm here...

Tell me, tell me, where I've gone
God, you don't need to lie
Look into my eyes
(Look into my eyes...)
Tell me, tell me what is love
I can't remember
My heart' so weak

Tell me, tell me, where I've gone
(You've gotta tell me...)
God, you don't need to lie
Look into my eyes
Tell me, tell me what is love
I can't remember
My heart' so weak, so weak, so weak, so weak...


8. The River

Into the folds of time, crossing the great river
There is a holy ground hard to be found

This ground is so mellow
That many are the ones who rowed
In search for their own piece to sow
But nobody could know the right way to go

All these people have been searching
For a place with no direction
And no boundaries to be found
For this land is not outside yet
You can find it right beside you
Feel the stream of your consciousness

Now that you rowed
For so long in the wrong river, where there was no land to wait for you all
Well, I hope you understand
Well, that eternal life has no sense with no feelings or goals to reach
Don't ever cross that line

In every love-story
There is a dark page where everything goes wrong and hate takes its place
And dying inside you swear you won't sail for that river of passion
From which fount you drank
You're just fooling yourself

Another week and you'll forget it
Another month and you'll be searching
For that wellspring, again
Can you leave it all behind you?
Can you avoid to sail this river?
Tell me where the fun lies in this game of yours...

Now that you rowed
For so long in the wrong river, where there was no land to wait for you all
Well, I hope you understand
Well, that eternal life has no sense with no feelings or goals to reach
Don't ever cross that line

If you look right deep in your heart
I know you can make it, together we'll cross it tonight my son
I will be there by your side
Call my name, once again...

If you look right deep in your heart
I know you can make it, together we'll cross it tonight my son
I will be there by your side
Call my name, once again...

If you look right deep in your heart
I know you can make it, together we'll cross it tonight my son
I will be there by your side
Call my name, once again...


9. Now That You've Gone

I wonder where we're going and how we'll survive
We all lost our souls
Captives in our golden hive

And now is just too late
We cry and kneel down

Trying to recover our lost faith... We pray
Waiting for a message from you, God... And we wait

We feel so lonely...
Can you ever forgive our shameful sin?
I know that we've gone too far
We're just waiting for you...

Life faded away
To a black pitch nightmare
The World... Rotting inside...

Got no feelings anymore to share with others
We don't even have the need to make new children

Now that you've gone
And Heaven's gates are sealed
We can't breakthrough
Now that you've gone
And you just let us free
To build our new atheist world

World... Where have we gone?
We just sold all of our feelings
To our pride

Just to say we are the rulers of this new earth
Rulers of an empty world, rulers of nothing

Somewhere out there
Someone said a new life is born
If it is true that means you're back to us
Is there a hope? We only just wait and see
Only you can bring us back to life

"A child was born, somewhere out there, after more than 4 thousands years
In his silence, once again, God is answering our calls"

We're not alone
That's what we've learnt from this
Our missions' done
Together we walk
Sure there' something out there
But here's not the right place to find out

We walk the road
Of this life so short and tough
If you walk with us
We'll wait 'til the end
Together we'll melt with the dawn... With the dawn...


10. The Needle Lies

[Bonus track for Japan only]

[Queensryche cover]

[Spoken:]
[Nikki:] "I've had enough and I WANT OUT!"
[Dr. X:] "You can't walk away now."

I looked back once
And all I saw was his face
Smiling, the needle crying
Walking out of his room
With mirrors, afraid I heard him scream
You'll never get away

Cold and shaking
I crawled down alleys to try
And scrape away the tracks that marked me
Slammed my face into walls of concrete
I stared, amazed at the words written on the wall

Don't ever trust
Don't ever trust the needle, it lies
Don't ever trust
Don't ever trust the needle when it cries...
Cries your name

Wet and raving
The needle keeps calling me back
To bloody my hands forever
Carved my cure with the blade
That left me in scars
Now every time I'm weak
Words scream from my arm

Don't ever trust
Don't ever trust the needle, it lies
Don't ever trust
Don't ever trust the needle when it cries...
Cries your name
Don't ever trust
Don't ever trust the needle, it lies
Don't ever trust
Don't ever trust the needle when it cries...
Cries your name
