1. The Ark Of Lies

You follow religion
You have to believe
You don't ask for reason
Cause you're just so naive
But what they don't tell you
Is that they're in control
They give out a little
Then take your body and soul

Confusion, delusion, you feel there's no solution
Desire, on fire, don't you think it's time to believe

Why can't you see it's the sign of times
Blind leading the blind, into the ark of lies

The new world uprising
To take out the rats
They run but they can't hide
From the furious wrath
Their unholy mission
Is to sweep up the trash
The days of defiance
Revolt of the mass

Confusion, delusion, you feel there's no solution
Desire, on fire, don't you think it's time to believe

Why can't you see it's the sign of times
Blind leading the blind, into the ark of lies

Why can't you see it's the sign of times
Blind leading the blind, into the ark of lies

Blind leading the blind
Blind leading the blind

Why can't you see it's the sign of times
Blind leading the blind, into the ark of lies

Why can't you see it's the sign of times
Blind leading the blind, into the ark of lies

2. World On Fire

Recreation a man's design
Then destruction to resign
Hear the prayers. Feel the truth
Holy Ghost

Dislocation spirits fall
Suffocation we need control
Were all the same through different life
Holy land

Oh, future is calling us

And I, I'll set the world on fire
I will rise through the wind
And I, I'll set the world on fire
Worlds colliding in me

Set the world on fire
Set the world on fire

Deprivation end this void
Explanation need to avoid
With just one voice, and just an act
We take their place

Oh, future is calling us

And I, I'll set the world on fire
I will rise through the wind
And I, I'll set the world on fire
Worlds colliding in me

Set the world on fire
Set the world on fire
Set the world on fire
Set the world on fire

And I, I'll set the world on fire
I will rise through the wind
And I, I'll set the world on fire
Worlds colliding in me

Set the world on fire

3. Chariot

There are things I should have said
And there are things I shouldn't have
What I kept inside
Has only hurt my pride
This is my only regret

Falling down
Face the demon now
Break the spell

Oh Chariot, I'm made of sun and stars
Oh Chariot, blow up my iron bars
Oh Chariot, black wheels will burn the ground
Oh Chariot, I hear this magic sound

Maybe I am better off alone
And go my own way
Maybe I don't know what I want
But I don't care what they say

Falling down
Face the demon now
Break the spell

Oh Chariot, I'm made of sun and stars
Oh Chariot, blow up my iron bars
Oh Chariot, black wheels will burn the ground
Oh Chariot, I hear this magic sound

Oh Chariot, I'm made of sun and stars
Oh Chariot, blow up my iron bars
Oh Chariot, black wheels will burn the ground
Oh Chariot, I hear this magic sound

Oh Chariot,
Falling down
Break the spell
Oh Chariot,
Bring me the universe
Oh Chariot,
Falling down
Break the spell
Oh Chariot,
My belief will not be cursed

4. Embrace The Sun

Step outside this spinning wheel and you'll see its turning
All the shadows now will disappear and you're burning
You can't change the world, but you can change yourself
Slowly turning dust into a shape

Embrace the sun, you won't get hurt
Don't be afraid, is it so hard to understand?
Embrace the sun, embrace the sun
Inhale the air, there's nothing wrong
Just breathe, caress the flame of life and you'll be strong
Embrace the sun, embrace the sun

At the end of the sea you will find there is no horizon
And don't fantasize but your fortune is here for a reason
You can't change the world, but you can change yourself
Try to turn the dust into a shape

Embrace the sun,you won't get hurt
Don't be afraid, is it so hard to understand?
Embrace the sun, embrace the sun
Inhale the air, there's nothing wrong

Just breathe, caress the flame of life and you'll be strong
Embrace the sun,embrace the sun

Face your life and stop pretending
Now you're caught in the eye of the world
Now it's time for an ending

You won't get hurt
Don't be afraid, is it so hard to understand?
Embrace the sun, embrace the sun
Inhale the air, there's nothing wrong
Just breathe, caress the flame of life and you'll be strong
Embrace the sun, embrace the sun

Don't be afraid
You won't get hurt
Don't be afraid
 

5. The Departure

[Instrumental]

6. Heading For The Dawn

Gazing at the stars
We're flying over million restless souls
A dream that keeps me alive
We're always reaching higher for the skies

Oh we're million miles away
We're far away from home
We're million miles away
Oh we're million miles away
We're heading for the dawn
we're million miles away

We turned the bends
We're crossing all the oceans
For desire and for pain
We come and go, we feel
We're heading for new places that's insane

Oh we're million miles away
Our spirit never dies
We're million miles away
Oh we're million miles away
Our keeper never lies
we're million miles away

Oh we're million miles away
We're far away from home
We're million miles away
Oh we're million miles away
We're heading for the dawn
we're million miles away

7. Broken

Eyes are open wide
You're dying slowly
Lost in space and time
You're feeling lonely
Shadows moving fast
Cluster around you
Whispers in your head
You're left in confusion

It's breaking my heart
To see you walking through the night
It's breaking my heart
To see you fall, no one in sight
It's breaking my heart
You fell, you're giving up the fight
It's breaking my heart
When you can't see what's wrong or right

Walls of shame you see
You're tired and frozen
You ripped yourself apart
You feel like dreaming
You walk on broken glass
There's no reaction
A strange erratic breeze
No introspection

It's breaking my heart
To see you walking through the night
It's breaking my heart
To see you fall and no one in sight
It's breaking my heart
You fell, you're giving up the fight
It's breaking my heart
When you can't see what's wrong or right

So hard to console

It's breaking my heart
To see you walking through the night
It's breaking my heart
To see you fall, no one in sight
It's breaking my heart
You fell, you're giving up the fight
It's breaking my heart
When you can't see what's wrong or right

Don't wanna see you fall from grace
Don't wanna see you fall from an empty space
I've lost the best thing that I had in life
Lay your head on my shoulder tonight

8. Cold As Ice

I'm going out to war
I have to face the pain
We're damaged people and we suffer from our own reign
Trapped in my own domain
I wonder who's to blame
We can't pay the prize for this kind of paradise

I'm going out to war
Don't wanna live in vain
I have to meet my enemy
I've had in my dreams
I've lost my empathy
I crashed my harmony
We'll never see the day if we don't role the very dice

I send you my life
I send you my soul
Enlighten me again
I'm awake

I feel cold as ice, I am hypnotized
Always turn away
We are cold as ice in a big device
We'll drown in our own clay
I feel cold as ice, I am paralyzed
Always turn away
We are cold as ice in a big device
Why did we go astray

I walk across the end
And lose my clarity
We're lost children
And we're diving in the blackest sea
Who do we think we are?
Just a grain of sand
But so much power
In this tiny little human hand

I send you my life
I send you my soul
Enlighten me again
I'm awake

I feel cold as ice, I am hypnotized
Always turn away
We are cold as ice in a big device
We'll drown in our own clay
I feel cold as ice, I am paralyzed
Always turn away
We are cold as ice in a big device
Why did we go astray

I'm cold as ice
I'm cold as ice
I'm cold as

I feel cold as ice, I am hypnotized
Always turn away
We are cold as ice in a big device
We'll drown in our own clay
I feel cold as ice, I am paralyzed
Always turn away
We are cold as ice in a big device
Why did we go astray

I'm cold as ice
I'm cold as ice
I'm cold as
I'm cold as ice

9. Kill In The Name Of Love

What would you do?
If someone put a gun to your head
What if someone says?
Kill or in seconds you'll be dead

Would you leave your moral constraints?
Killing all the fools
A bitter sweet vengeance
You break away from rules
You'll disappear in darkness
When all you see is black
Be a broken hero
You're never coming back

Here is your world. Here is your world
You will kill in the name of love
A brand new world, and days of great suffering
Can you kill in the name of love

How will you react?
If someone stabbed your best friend in the back
What will be the price?
Is there justice overriding love, no, no

Would you break away from confines?
To kill the greatest fool
Something's taken over
Searching for a tool
You'll disappear in darkness
When all you see is black
Be a broken hero
Or a walking wounded man

Here is your world. Here is your world
You will kill in the name of love
A brand new world, and days of great suffering
Can you kill in the name of love

Kill in the name of love
When the blood is rising
Kill in the name of love
All you see is black
Kill in the name of love
Need to think about it
Kill in the name of love
Or be a blinded fool with anger

Hold on can't wait 'till tomorrow
Someone will kill in the name of love
Hold on can you take the sorrow
Can you kill in the name of love

Here is your world. Here is your world
You will kill in the name of love
A brand new world, and days of great suffering
Are you the one who will kill in the name of love

Kill in the name of love
Kill in the name of love

11. Losing Faith

I wear the scars on my dirty face
Just because of you
I wear the mist in my darkest day
I can feel the tears from the sun

I feel a rush in my veins
I won't crawl I will breathe

I'm losing faith in you
Whatever you might say
I can't stand to lose myself
These days of no trust
I'm losing faith in you
What you have become
In these days of no trust
Days of no trust

I can't ignore, our faith's bleeding fast
Who will work things out?
Provide yourself from these greedy lies
I can touch my anger from within

I feel a rush in my veins
I won't crawl I will breathe

I'm losing faith in you
Whatever you might say
I can't stand to lose myself
These days of no trust
I'm losing faith in you
What you have become
In these days of no trust

Forever is so far away
We need to see a brand new day
Endless spinning carries on
The unforgiving will be gone
Into eternity
Eternity, eternity

I'm losing faith in you
Whatever you might say
I can't stand to lose myself
These days of no trust
I'm losing faith in you
What you have become
In these days of no trust

12. The Yearning

Now that all my dreams come true
They seem a frozen false reality
And though my hopes have not all gone
It's you to bring me out of all this vanity

But I'm still here to break the ice
I'll never give up the fight

Yearning to remember
That my dream can be reality
Yearning to remember
So I can live another day

Stop this moment and believe
I'm not afraid to show you who I am
I know I'm a passenger of life
I seize the day I try so hard to understand

But I'm still here to break the ice
I'll never give up the fight

Yearning to remember
That my dream can be reality
Yearning to remember
So I can live another day

Yearning to remember

But I'm still here to break the ice
I'll never give up the fight

Yearning to remember
That my dream can be reality
Yearning to remember
So I can live another day

Yearning to remember

13. When All Is Said And Done

Fly away. Fly with broken wings my angel
Never stay leave the cold leave the sorrow
Hold on (hold on) even if your world's colliding
Dream on (dream on) no one can take your breath you're winding

And I know when you're free, you will see
All is gone, when you're drifting away
Take your time everything will be fine
On your own till the end of the day

Oh, oh, when all is said and done
Oh, oh from the day that you begun

When all is said and done

Drift away you feel you don't belong to someone
Never pray don't trust a false messiah
Keep on even when your world is burning
Carry on days of defiance you are yearning

And I know when you're free, you will see
All is gone, when you're drifting away
Take your time everything will be fine
On your own till the end of the day

Oh, oh, when all is said and done
Oh, oh you've only just begun
Oh, oh, when all is said and done
Oh, oh, don't stay just hit and run

Oh, oh, when all is said and done
Oh, oh you've only just begun
Oh, oh, when all is said and done
Oh, oh, don't stay just hit and run

When all is said and done
Hold on, dream on, carry on
