1. My Angel Died
My angel died He passed away tonight… His feathers turned from white to a withered black Then he turned his face and finally slept in grace While a shiny light got his body leaving me abandoned in disgrace…
2. The 25th Hour
Alone in the dark of a blue cage I struggled against my fears My sanity broke through an unstable Sudden lucidity
I saw my life as a circle Like I never did before A grandfather clock: It was ticking Over and over…
Life: We perceived it straight like a line Heading to the future Life is turning around and around
A "Merry go round” Where every new day’s just the same day 24 hours to be lived Before everything rewinds Oh,"Merry go round” Way far beyond your perception The 25th hour came for me tonight, yeah!
And breaking the time’ sly deceptions I sailed through its wrinkled fold Where spirits bound to rejection Fumble and rove
Lies: Our lives are nothing but lies So now I’m pretending Time to find out who I am, where to go
A "Merry go round” Where every new day’s just the same day 24 hours to be lived Before everything rewind... Oh,"Merry go round” Way far beyond your perception The 25th hour came for me tonight, yeah!
I want to break free And open up my soul When the hour comes I will let it in And my doubts will be finally gone, gone…
All these voices talking inside of me Every spirit whispering to my ears "You’ve been her, she will be you I’ve been you, you will be me Together we will be them…”
A "Merry go round” Where every new day’s just the same day 24 hours to be lived Before everything rewind... Oh,"Merry go round” Way far beyond your perception The 25th hour came for me tonight, yeah!
3. Out Of A Distant Night (Voices)
Cold as inhuman light… Tell me why are you calling my name How do you know… Who I am and where I come from?
Can’t see your faces, can’t see your eyes By the light of a pale moon Weaving a magic row to my head I can hear all the voices inside
Voices out of a distant night Haunting my deepest thoughts from inside to aside Voices… Let me hear what you got for me Let me know… Give me the reason why you have called And the reason why you hide
Steps on the floor I hear I can feel your breath upon me A flower scent Don’t tell me I’m raving again
Can’t see your faces, can’t see your eyes By the light of a pale moon Weaving a magic row to my head I can hear all the voices inside
Voices out of a distant night Haunting my deepest thoughts from inside to aside Voices… Let me hear what you got for me Let me know… Give me the reason why you have called And the reason why you hide
Voices (Voices…) Turning inside my head (Turning inside my head…) Voices (Voices…) Voices around my head… (Voices around my head…)
All these voices out of a distant night Hunting my deepest thoughts from inside to aside…
Can’t see your faces, can’t see your eyes By the light of a pale moon Weaving a magic row to my head I can hear all the voices inside
Voices out of a distant night Haunting my deepest thoughts from inside to aside Voices… Let me hear what you got for me Let me know… Give me the reason why you have called And the reason why you hide
Voices (Voices…) Turning inside my head (Turning inside my head…) Voices (Voices…) Voices around my head… (Voices around my head…)
4. Alpha & Omega
In a very distant time I was made of flesh and blood I was feeling puissant So strong and so brave
There was nothing I could fear My years were passing by And the silent dust of time Alights on me
I did not realize How short our lives are Into dark we jump Once angels call our names
Distant faces of a rolling dice Parts of the same game we leave far behind Stop your trudging, making questions now You’ll get the answers when alpha & omega combine
Let your senses fall Don’t fear your growing haze Listen to my secret words And try to understand
All the Spirits you can sense They come to give you a sign All united here we are To warn you now
We were what you are You are what we were You are what they’ll be Still Angels call your name
Distant faces of a rolling dice Parts of the same game we leave far behind Stop your trudging, making questions now You’ll get the answers when alpha & omega combine
Distant faces of a rolling dice Parts of the same game we leave far behind Stop your trudging, making questions now You’ll get the answers when alpha & omega combine
5. Eyes of a Child
You man, tell me why you are so dour Won’t you smile at me? Look at where you’re fallen, look at what you are…
Listen, I have come with a mission To remind you There has been a time when you were not like this
Close your eyes… Close your eyes and remember ‘cause I came from the past I’m a painting that shows what you’ve been Years have gone by Lost in your mind Turn at the mirror and see with the eyes… With the eyes of a child…
You man through my eyes you can go back To your childhood When the colors of your future were so bright
I see you forgot all the passion You’re so distant From the child you were before the twilight came
Close your eyes… Close your eyes and remember ‘cause I came from the past I’m a painting that shows what you’ve been Years have gone by Lost in your mind Turn at the mirror and see with the eyes… With the eyes of a child…
Hey man, you’re so old Can’t you see that? In your soul now All your fields of passions have become so bright
Close your eyes… Close your eyes and remember ‘cause I came from the past I’m a painting that shows what you’ve been Years have gone by Lost in your mind Turn at the mirror and see with the eyes… With the eyes of a child… (Close your eyes…) (Close your eyes…) Whoa… Child!!! …With the eyes of a child…
6. The Daemon You Hide
My name was Marielle but you can call me Mary You see, like the others I can’t fade away Half life (half now)…I’m a spirit now… I have no home, no place where I can rest in peace
I feel an empathy with your soul I see you’re fallen deep down with Your fears… Have your dreams been killed by the pain? Your tears are digging your own grave
And the daemon you hide killed the angel you got He tried to bring you light but you fell into darkness All the blood that you sweat, every drop that he dried Everything is lost… You just let him cry… You just let him die…
Out there, stars… There are millions in the universe They seem all the same but they are different Their lights and their different colours They stand, they’re still, they die… Melting with infinity
Relieve the sorrow that you keep inside Release what’s left in you tonight Escape from the branch of thorns in your heart Before… Before it’s just too late
And the daemon you hide killed the angel you got He tried to bring you light but you fell into darkness All the blood that you sweat, every drop that he dried Everything is lost… You just let him cry… You just let him die…
I feel the sorrow you’re keeping inside I see what’s left in you tonight Escape from the wild branch of thorns in your heart Before… Before it’s just too late
And the daemon you hide killed the angel you got He tried to bring you light but you fell into darkness All the blood that you sweat, every drop that he dried Everything is lost… You just let him cry… You just let him…
7. Waiting For The Dawn
[Instrumental]
8. Essence Of Time
I shiver ‘cause you took my breath away Unknown strange and beautiful raves of sin Every thought you had became one with my senses My vessel goes brought by the wind of seers
And now that I know the reason why… Why you came to me Part of the same continuous line we are
What is a simple life compared with the essence of time That will never stop? I wanna leave it all behind
Now tell me: is it true or is it just a fake? I’m here to live the same that you’ve got before Just a different life, just a different perception My life was lost, I challenged the fate in vain…
And now that I know the reason why… Why you came to me Part of the same continuous line we are
What is a simple life compared with the essence of time That will never stop? I wanna leave it all behind
And now leave me I need to stay alone Just let me breathe And think about this world father
I wonder why Why is it wrong? I just want to know How can I still stand that
All… All that I suffered inside Could just rewind and restart? No… I’ve had enough
And you, God How can you hurt me so bad? Didn’t I pay fair enough? Please, let me reach the dawn
I don’t want this to be forever I was lost I just felt too much alone I needed to believe in Heaven…
"Welcome to real madness, welcome we’re with you Open your heart, don’t hold back, we came for you Welcome to real madness, welcome we’re with you Open your heart, don’t hold back, we came for you”
And now that I know the reason why… Why you came to me Part of the same continuous line we are
What is a simple life compared with the essence of time That will never stop? I wanna leave it all behind …time…
9. A Perfect Suicide
Two pills: I’ll be free, don’t you think? Is it the only way? One rope for my throat ‘round that pole
One jump through the glass of that door Flying down to the floor One blade for my veins like a kiss
Time to close my eyes Time to say goodbye Time for some of you To shed some hollow, deceitful tears
All my life’s been a joke Plenty of misery I’ve been chasing memories Of the child that I keep in my mind
…A perfect suicide… You’ll never see me crying… That is a fair way to close with my pain …A perfect suicide… There’s only a way to go… Out of this world where my hopes were foreclosed and lost
I can see your eyes full of scorn Have you ever thought I was so afraid and desperate
You hate what you fear, that’s the truth That’s your call: I’m done I’m one step closer to you
Time to close my eyes Time to say goodbye Time for some of you To shed some hollow, deceitful tears
All my life’s been a joke Plenty of misery I’ve been chasing memories Of the child that I keep in my mind
…a perfect suicide… You’ll never see me crying… That is a fair way to close with my pain …a perfect suicide… There’s only a way to go… Out of this world where my hopes were foreclosed and lost …a perfect suicide…
10. Heaven Calling
In the air I can only hear the freedom The night has gone Now I know my sins are forgiven
I stand so still I lay on a mouldy floor One ray, one smile Moon, did you say goodbye?
I tried to be ready, now I’m here There’s an angel waiting Cuddling my dreams, holding my head Smiling at me…
Heaven is calling, the angels are spreading their wings Over the blue horizon they will fade away Heaven is calling and I can’t believe it’s my name My father is there waiting for me
Overwhelmed I surrender to my feelings Once again Ain’t no way to guess your decision
Goodnight my dear I’m ready to leave, I’m done One ray, one smile Oh, Moon, did I tell you ‘bye?
If I ever wake up, it won’t be here ‘Cause my angel’s waiting He’s back to me, holding my head Smiling at me…
Heaven is calling, the angels are spreading their wings Over the blue horizon they will fade away, Heaven is calling and I can’t believe it’s my name My father is there waiting for me, for me, for me, yeah…
Heaven is calling, the angels are spreading their wings Over the blue horizon they will fade away Heaven is calling and I can’t believe it’s my name My father is there…
11. Ascension
"Here I am… Is this the end you always have been searching for? The meaning of what you called life?
12. Another Day
[Bonus Track]
[Dream Theater cover]
Live another day Climb a little higher Find another reason to stay Ashes in your hands Mercy in your eyes If you're searching for a silent sky...
You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So die another day
The coldness of this words The message in his silence, "Face the candle to the wind..." This distance in my voice Isn't leaving you a choice So if you're looking for a time to run away...
You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So try another day
They took pictures of our dreams Ran to hide behind the stairs And said maybe when it's right for you, they'll fall But if they don't come down Resist the need to pull them in And throw them away Better to save the mystery Than surrender to the secret
You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So try another day
