Over the rippling waters

lyrics

- The Middle of Nowhere

It's a damn long way to go
in the middle of nowhere
many crossroads passing by

And I turn the radio on
to remind me I was wrong
"And I choose her, come what may"

I feel lost within this sight
And I cannot see the edge
between dusk and dawn

All my senses seem to fade
and the heart is beating strong
like a hammer to the anvil of despair

trying to run away
from this crystal cage
say, can you spot the end?
It's growing smaller now
and getting harder to breath
I feel I'm falling off again

And I hear angels singing:
“Is this your way to paradise?”
A fly tangled on the web
Our hopes and fantasies
Are thrown in pieces on the floor
in this never-ending rise and fall

- Unconscious Trek (Instrumental)

- The Faceless Army

When I'm back in
I found myself surrounded by a strange mob
they don't have a face, it's being replaced
by a never-ending smile
they turn to me and slowly start to move
into a freaky march

Hey you! We cannot find you in our registers
Tell us: what did you eat? where did you sleep?
And.. Oh, are you still virgin?
Come on, son! Hand us some of your privacy
We have big plans for you boy, you know?
You'll be just as everybody else!

Help! I'm feeling suffocated by this madness
Legions of hollow men in suit-and-tie
Please, don't ask me why
I know, I've got to escape this trap
oh Lord, help me coming back

But suddenly all of them are bursting into flames
Twisting with pain, screaming in agony

Ashes are dancing in a frozen reality
yet with their blaming fingers still pointing at me

And I’ll never know why
the weak and fools now stand in high places
They are sanctified
The ones who crucified

- Interstellar mayhem

And in a flash, all is swallowed by darkness
Broken lands light by a pale white sky
We laugh in joy as planets start to collide

- Clear as a bell

Bell tolls from a distant square
Sailors waving their goodbyes
We try to see
The meaning of it all
But dices still will roll

Still I hear angels singing:
“Is this your way to paradise?”
A fly tangled on the web
Our hopes and fantasies
Are thrown in pieces on the floor
in this never-ending rise and fall

Out of the darkness
I’ve found my way to paradise
Oh boys, I have news for you!
Our hopes and fantasies
We hang to them to carry on
In this never-ending rise and fall
