d 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
