Castle Castle (1994) The 7th Empire I am the Emperor, ruling all known universe I have absolute power and absolute thirst... Thirsty for even more, wasting energy in great haste Eager to learn the Lore, fertilizing psionic waste Conquering my enemies, striking them with all my might Changing all known histories, the winner is always right Watching at my Empire, borders seem without end Greed is burning like a fire, I weep but I don't understand... I have changed a lot, once humble, now God; WHY??? In my youth, long ago, changing all with determination I seem my alter-ego, trying to change my destination Thirty years I've been sleeping, my whole Empire has been weeping I now realize the Empire changed me, instead of me changing the Empire I have become what I once... did despise But instead of hating myself, I enjoy it... Enjoy the power, that's what I hate: I don't hate myself... The game is nothing; the playing of it is everything... The Emperor's Children Children... on their way Travelling... lands of Snow They are... on a mission Five... so they say Exposure... long ago Causing... purple visions Consumed by innocence (?) When clouds of the lords collide, I did collapse too... Swarms of (f)lies, enter our void Rearranging every kind of humanoid There is no one to recreate our lost minds Petrified eyes, perceiving nothing, no one find Walls of Ice, exist no longer, we're exposed Remaining Lies, growin' stronger Heaven's closed... Travelling... lands of Snow They are... on a mission Five... so they say Exposure... long ago Causing... Inner collisions There is no God but Man; he's the Emperor Alter Reality Everything is tied, even God has his strings There's left much pride... Heritage of old kings... Woven with laws, woven with lies Life's the cause, Pain's the prize But I can change, everything around Heaven's in range, with the spice I found I am the Son of morning, destined to try Climbing all my mountains, climb so high Watching the screaming seas... of Eternity I decide to become God, Alter Reality Leave fear behind, alter my fate God must be blind, I hope that it's not too late Feel so alive, making new rules Despair is the drive, I'm joining divine fools... Leaving Reality... Nooo, scorching pain, FIVE voices... going insane Gates of life open wide and scream, knowledge lost Why isn't it a dream... All was in vain, I ain't no God, unbearable pain, faith it Starts to rot Feelings mummified, Voices in my head, at least I have tried Now my mind has fled Leaving Reality... Exposed Since long... been floating... through oceans... alone... Big walls of ice protect me for the outside It's cold inside, a neverending grey night Despite the safety, I dream and moan They're always about the same they're warm But warmth becomes heat, it's growin': a red storm A long time ago, I did, trust a young God He did gave me warmth, he did care a lot! But as true gods do, he faded, disappeared in the air Left me with my solitude, life isn't fair I did shape my wall Wrote my youth on a scroll Gods don't care after all The time consumer ate my life Benefitting from my age of strife Now warmth is kept away And everyday is the same day My eyes they stare through tunnels of glass... Slowly the second sunrise appears It's purple rays, they melt, come near Memories: dripping, I remember how it was But it wasn't worth it for an innocent mermaiden I've lost his feelings and lost his faith I now do have an alternative I have the choice to stay or to live Once I lived, it hurts a lot Where is he? My Son of God? Where is he now, your Son of God Travelling Travelling space and time, swooping down from skies Fourth-dimension crime, fields of hope the prize Inner states of pain, overwhelming memory With an immense strain, I forget the Prophecy Nights are unpredictable, fear or restless nights Staying awake is umbearable, maybe I should enter the light Leaving... When I was Young and believed in Father The world did seem so small and old Sands of time won't go further All my dreams have been sold No one imagines, what I feel clawing fright... Enter light, meet the One, travelling: the first time I will fight, fear is gone, the second time Growing might, all is done, the third time End in sight, nearly won, enter the Fourth Dimension!! Travelling, searching the Light All my efforts were in vain, I can see it plain There will be no reward, death is near, life is short Always heading to the light I am TRAVELLING Castle Billions of years ago, sudden I was there Placed on a rock, around it a lake, the borders that far In the middle of the waste, it rose to the sky The place was warmed by a young, yellow burning star But why??? It had no enemies, until our tribe appeared They filled the waste with science, soon it all was fertilized! They filled the waste with the victims of human GREED!!! Huge, black walls surround the place; the last defence Massive towers, with magic aura, grabbing for the sun Winged guardians on the walls, armed with sorcery The Arch-mage and his son prepared a medusa-stun Mustard-seeds growing on the walls Soon they tumble and they fall The guardians fought at Thermopylae Choosing Hades as the only way Impale them with your lust! Stun them with your GREED!!! Soon they all, they tumbled their fall They fell, bleeding, into an endless night The Virgin was raped, but no one helped her at all The Arch-mage, he wept, his Son was crucified! The Arch-mage scorched the Earth with his magic breath After that he drowned us all, with his endless tears Forty days of bitter sorrow brought the tribe to death Very few survived it all, haunted by their fears Man was scattered over Earth Lost in too many different languages Bridge Of Snow Travelling... lands of Snow I came across a bridge of choice Meeting... The One below Recognizing his unique Voice Doubts on the bridge of Snow Crossing or not is the question All that remains is hiding Seeking for a solution Going to the One I owe a favor Leaving myself until it's over Leaving the bridge... Travelling... everywhere Remembering what's left behind Knowing... every sphere Seeking Light, for my mind (Perseiving life as a Bridge)
