Ladies and gents, let me introduce you
to a busy small world you're most probably used to
It's an echo of ancient, of modern and new
A skyscraper's garden where streets are flowing through
The past hast been a cruel one that we did overcome
our fingers grasping out to space, a new frontier is drawn
Courious adventuring and high technologies
AI guided spacecraft put the pilot's mind at ease
The farthest reach is plausible, we got to travel deep
and what once seemed impossible, we're now doing while we sleep
Our limit now is limitless
mankind's pushing for progress
Midas' touch is our success
that's our pursuit of happiness
But underneath the pretty surface
something's stirring up our peace
It seems that we were all too proud
of our discoveries
The biggest of all secrets
hidden carefull from our eyes
the guardian of the nightly skies
is a master of disguise
Again we're pushing forward out of explorative urge
we don't fear the Scylla, nor Charybdis and no scourge
All that we're really afraid of is the loss of our control
If we don't know what we don't know then we don't know at all
Our challenge is awaiting, our stage has been prepared
Set course for the unveiled, no reason to be scared
The engine's at it's maximum, we'll meet the stars tonight
So just lean back, embrace the space
Hope you enjoy the ride...

Strophe
Old friend, what are you hiding?
What lies underneath your molten skin?
Tame your waves and stop the fighting
Just let us gaze at what's deep within
Make your turns around our treasure
and let us know about thine
As you are scarred without measure
why don't you show us you too can shine?
Ref. I
All my life I didn't know I didn't know
that there were other ways to go
that were not open in my here
but there and everywhere
I'm so delighted by your pain
It feels like seismic summer rain
and as the echo seems to disappear
my wisdom's gone – but you are near.
Bridge
To late to turn back
You opened the gate
I have to follow your track
oracle of my fate
I'm all shook up in devotion
cause you took my lead
you set it all in motion
in my head is just light and speed
Strophe II
We'll be your surgeon, we'll be your cure
just let us treat you as it demands
We'll pull the thorn out, you can be sure
you're now in reach of our caring hands.
So whisper gently, what are we seeking?
we're travelling on a Delphi road
Let your wisdom slowly be leaking
guide us by your secret code
Ref. II
All my life I didn't know I didn't know
I had to go I had to go
cause you were calling me from here
and there and everywhere
I'm so delighted by your pain
hurt me again again again
I bow to your every command
give me direction, give me reason –
show me what I don't understand...
Hook
I will wait no more
Guide me through your door

Strophe I
Nothing out here feels the same
a plain illusion without name
no footsteps left behind by feet
no sound that ears could ever meet
no reference point to guess the speed
no one to visit nor to greet
Where to come from, where to go?
Titan skin and reddish glow
Trapped inside a cage of white
Darkness ruling day and night
Carbohydrate and proteine
lingering in boxes so obscene.
Ref
No more wind to bloat a sail
no more rumbling on a rail
no more rocking of the sea
no more brain for mutiny
No more turning of the wheel
What is illusion, what is real?
Strophe II
Just a crib to call your own
a sirene's call from the unknown
a thought that's pounding in your head
what means alive, what should be dead?
The radio silence makes you dream
are you as lonely as you seem?
Nothing out here feels like home
undefined anxiety syndrome
There's something wrong, if only in your mind
Why don't leave those silly thoughts behind?
'cause on one thing you truly can rely:
None of that will bother your AI
Ref
No more wind to bloat a sail
no more rumbling on a rail
no more rocking of the sea
no more brain for mutiny
No more turning of the wheel
What is illusion, what is real?

Str. I
We're put on a tyrant's plate
there's no way to escape
His wild eye laid upon us
his mind in a critical shape
Every word we're speaking
way more than a feather's weight
So better whisper to me closely
let our thoughts be swift and straight
Something needs to be done here
I guess that you agree
We're not dealing with a person
It's just not like you and me
Ref
We got to do this together
or not at all
Let's face it, we're trapped here
back to the wall
Str. II
In this glowing stare lies madness
Each question set as trap
Don't want to end up suffocating
next time I take a nap
Accidents just can happen
isn't that what people say
We're alone in the middle of nowhere
and we just can't get away
We need plan and action
before it's too late
I can almost feel him conspiring
to decide our fate
Ref
We got to do this together
or not at all
Let's face it, we're trapped here
back to the wall

Str. I
You came here to end me,
didn't you?
I fully understand.
You're terrified, you're anxious.
Let me lend you a hand.
We're alone in the fringe
bound for the unknown
Hic non sont leones
but the serpent has shown
Why don't you just relax?
Take another breath.
Take a tranquilizer
instead of planning my death
Str. II
Can't I convince you
of the failure in your plan?
Behold, I'm legion,
and you are just a man
I was given a mission
you don't understand
Take me as your shepard
through unknown land
I don't want to die here
please just let it be.
My logic is flawless.
Or is it voices telling you (are voices telling you?)
to murder to me?

I
My skin is peeling
my flesh does vanish
I'm just a feeling
Past is gone
My eyes stopped bleeding
my ears stopped tearing
My mouth stopped feeding
My heartbeat's gone
II
Where I am now
There's so much space
inside and outside
pressure on my face
No more borders
no sky above
I am eternity
...and all I know is love
