1. Redeemer

I'm working hard to make it all happen

I want to get it all

I've collected all the stars in the sky

I'm at the point of no return

I need to make my choice

I'm caught between the dark and light

Did you ever reach for a shining star?

Will you return to me

Redeemer of all life

Embrace me now and take me home

Will you answer me

Redeemer of all life

Reach to us your nail scarred hand

I'm climbing higher up the ladder

I wanna see all the world

With open arms I greet the sun

I'm not afraid to fall anymore

I will raid the wings of this story

With open eyes I face all the glory

Do you always wait for it to fall in your hand?

Will you return to me

Redeemer of all life

Embrace me now and take me home

Will you answer me

Redeemer of all life

Reach to us your nail scarred hand

Why have you brought me to this place?

Why am I here if you're not with me?

Lost in this desert of despair

One time long ago you came to me

When I was lone and scared

You made me take a stand

Still I make mistakes

And give you the blame

There's nothing I could do,

That you don't already know

Will you return to me

Redeemer of all life

Embrace me now and take me home

Will you answer me

Redeemer of all life

Reach to us your nail-scarred hand

2. Confession

My soul is clouded, shallow

I need to cry, I need to die

My heart is feeble, aching

I need to breath new life

Give me a sign of the truth

I need to know and to believe

My heart is feeble, aching

I need to breath new life

Forgive me

Please ease my mind

Forgive me

Please wipe away these tears

Oh, be my guide and make me understand your ways

Oh, be my guide and take me to the way that you have made

How can I make you stay

Is there a way, to feed this fire

When will it go away?

Will it always haunt my mind

Tears of relief leave my chest

Like rain grim heavy clouds above

Never have I felt such freedom

Like in this silent prayer

Forgive me

Please ease my mind

Forgive me

Please wipe away these tears

Oh, be my guide and make me understand your ways

Oh, be my guide and take me to the way that you have made

How can I make you stay

Is there a way, to feed this fire

When will it go away?

Will it always haunt my mind

3. The Darkest Winter

I remember those days

When we used to laugh and cry

They're now more like a dream

I remember the rain

Like a picture in my mind

In a room very far away

I am trapped in darkness

The cold breeze is calling me

Am I forever caught in this winter?

Help me find a way out

I'm crying

Don't let it get to me

This coldness

It haunts my every move

This silence

There's so much life in me

Don't let me die

Long to see a new day

I feel I'm growing old

I am left all alone

My heart is pounding so weak

My spirit broken down

I'm left here with no choice

I am trapped in darkness

The cold breeze is calling me

Am I forever caught in this winter?

Help me find a way out

I'm crying

Don't let it get to me

This coldness

It haunts my every move

This silence

There's so much life in me

Don't let me die

Silence, don't say a word

There's a trace of blood on the ground that

I'm treading

Help me find a way out

Don't let it get to me

It haunts my every move

There's so much life in me

All my life I never saw that there's a way

To walk forever more

All my life I never filled the hole that was

Left in my weary soul

4. Fall Again

I walk in the light of a saviour

And my heart is pure, (the) truth is burning within me

I confess in the blood of remission

Unrighteousness is leaving me again

Time is slipping away, you're waling in the dark.

You're roaming round in fear

Oh, yes I will fall again,

But I will never fear this darkness

Oh, 'cause you are my tourniquet,

And in your name I'll pierce the darkness

I look towards the future

An earth that's calm, free from the raging sea

Our time's not remembered, not in our minds.

Even hidden from your eyes

Time is slipping away, you're walking in the dark.

You're roaming round in fear

No, I will not fall again

I won't have to face this darkness

No, I will not fall again

The voice of weeping will be no more

5. Where Are You

Always seen what I can be

Always known how to be free

Never dared o be the one

Who takes the lead to carry on

And I just cannot let go

Even though I know so well

If I dwell the depths of the sea

Your light would still reach me

Where are you?

Where are you now?

Leaving me be

You reign I can't see

Where are you?

Where are you now?

Forgive me this once

But I cannot see

And so we close our eyes

Cause we don't want to see anymore

All the pain that we bring

It's time now to heed the call

And we just cannot let go

Even though we know so well

If we dwell the depths of the sea

Your light would still reach us

Where are you?

Where are you now?

Leaving me be

Your reign I can't see

Where are you?

Where are you now?

Forgive me this once

But I cannot see

Help us to face the truth

Show us the secret of your reign

Open our eyes

Let us understand the mystery of your kingdom

6. The Weight Of The World

You cannot see what I can see

So deep within a reflection of sin

You will not be the one to see

And be in a place in judgment of me

The bringer of lies

Always beside me

You tell me to go all the way

Deceit in your eyes

How I defy you

I'm telling you to keep your distance

Dreaming

In darkness weeping

I see him reaching

I'm losing the grip

Forgetting

The hand that guides me

The world will die

If I let go of his hand

I tread your ground 'cause you tread mine

And you will pay 'cause that is what my God says

You tell me lies you bring me sorrow

Now I defy what you justify

Dreaming

In darkness weeping

I see him reaching

I'm losing the grip

Forgetting

The hand that guides me

The world will die

If I let go of his hand

What is this dream

That is haunting my sleep at night

What's this feeling,

The weight of the world

Help me to move forward

Reaching the other side

What's this feeling,

The weight of the world

7. Save Me

Alone I walk through an alley at night

Like a whisper I hear deceiving lies

The shadows are telling me to stop

There is no other way to go

Don't want to hear it

Don't want to see it

Don't want to know it

Don't want to be here

I hide my face now

I will deny it

I can not fight now

I can't believe

The pain

In this damnation game

Eternal fears

Throughout all the world

Endless tears

For thousands of years

We fear the old

The ancient dragon

I couldn't believe what he had done

And now I'm doing just the same

I feel the burden in my heart

I wish I could have it all undone

I want to hear it

I want to see it

I want to know it

I want to be there

I show my face now

I won't deny it

I will fight forever

I believe

Save me

Bleed for me

Breathe in me

I know you can hear me

Save me

Take my pain

Pray for me

I know you can see me

When darkness falls

All over me again

I will be there

I won't deny his name

Save me

Bleed for me

Breathe in me

I know you can hear me

Save me

Take my pain

Pray for me

I know you can see me

8. With You Forever

I've tried to run away from you

I've tried to hide my face from you

I've tried to be what I am not

But now I see that I am lost

I've tried to walk that extra mile

I've tried to reach above the sun

But I always look at what I have

Don't want to lose it all again

See me as I am

No, not more

Take me for what I am

Call my name and save me

Wanna be with you forever

Wake me up, console me

Wanna be with you forever

Wanna be with you forever

Go ahead break me one more time

Go ahead and kill me one more time

Go ahead and drown me one more time

Don't want to lose it all again

See me as I am

No, not more

Take me for what I am

Call my name and save me

Wanna be with you forever

Wake me up, console me

Wanna be with you forever

Wanna be with you forever

I wanna be with you forever

Call ma name and save me

Wanna be with you forever

Wake me up, console me

Wanna be with you forever

9. Wisdom Calls

[originally by Veni Domine]

Wisdom calls aloud in the streets

Hear her raising her voice in the squares

How long will you simple ones

Love your evil ways

Turn around and listen to my rebuke

And I will pour out my spirit on you

Turn around and listen to my rebuke

And I will let you hear my words

As the moon turns to blood

So many will understand

As the seals are breaking one by one

Hear my words - hear the wisdom call

For you wouldn't hear when I cried

And you didn't react when I reached out my hand to you

As you let my advice drain away

And you didn't accept my rebuke

Therefore shall I smile when your day has come

And despise you when things that you fear are near

When your fear comes like a storm

There will be anguish and pain

Then they will call to me but I shall not answer

They will look for me but nothing will be found

Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the lord

They would not accept my advice and spurred my rebuke

They will eat the fruit of their ways

And be filled with the wine of their schemes

But the one who listens to me

He will live in security

And be sheltered against the curse of death

Wisdom calling me

1. Through Dark And Light

Instrumental

2. Into Forever

I call your name

When I turn off the light,

I say your name

When we enter the night

No I won't pretend

That I don't have my doubts

No I'll face the end

With fear in my eyes

What should I do

to find you?

I see pitfalls everywhere

Where is the path

That holds you

And that I'm searching for?

From my fate I cannot flee

Through dark and light

I've always strayed

Oh it has been said

The truth shall set you free

But we lie and we pray

Into the dark we flee

What should I do

to find you?

I see pitfalls everywhere

Where is the path

That holds you

And that I'm searching for?

In solitude I make my way

Through dark and light

Into forever

What is your goal?

What is your purpose?

Blindly you follow for promised land...

From my fate I cannot flee

Through dark and light

I've always strayed

In solitude I make my way

Through dark and light

Into forever

From my fate I cannot flee

Through dark and light

I've always strayed

In solitude I make my way

Through dark and light

Into forever

3. The Innocence In Me

Hope is fading away

A storm is coming to stay

Where have you gone?

A new place to stay

A chance to break free

It's not the end of our days

Won't you come back to me?

Have you found your way

Out of this maze

Why can't I find it?

Across the sea and beyond

With white wings I can see you fly

You search to be free

Wherever you go

I need what you see

You wander through green pastures

Walk through the valley of the shadow of death

You have found the way

You fear nothing more

Is this not for me?

Now let me see what you have found this time

Show me the way how to be glory bound

Now let me feel what you can feel inside

And let me near all that you hold so dear

Help me know no fear

What is it that you hold so dear

Can you give me more

To help me endure

And restore my soul

You wander through green pastures

Walk through the valley of the shadow of death

You have found the way

You fear nothing more

Is this not for me?

Now let me see what you have found this time

Show me the way how to be glory bound

Now let me feel what you can feel inside

And let me near all that you hold so dear

Now let me fall through time

Let me fall through sorrow

Now let me fall when no one can hear my call

Away from pain and greed

Away from hate and sin

Now let me fall one step for every tear I've cried...

For every tear I've cried!!!

Will we ever see what our lives could be

Will we ever find our meaning in life... Oh!

I have found in you the innocence in me

The innocence in me is you...

Will we ever see what our lives could be

Will we ever find our meaning in life

Will we ever see what our lives could be

Will we ever find our meaning in life

I have found in you the innocence in me

The innocence in me is you...

Will we ever see what our lives could be

Will we ever find our meaning in life

Will we ever see what our lives could be

Will we ever find our meaning in life

4. You Hold The Key

Dark, dark is your mind

Fear, fear holds your name

Running through a life that's clear

Hearing stories that don't seem to mean a thing

We hold the key to every door

And at the end

Will we see that there was so much more

You hold the key

To open all doors

Obscure, obscure are your thoughts

Cold, cold is your mind

Claiming that nothing you fear

Giving in in pain and you're free again

We hold the key to every door

And at the end

Will we see that there was so much more

You hold the key

To open all doors

Miracles, they never come your way

Miracles, won't happen by themselves

We hold the key to every door

And at the end

Will we see that there was so much more

We hold the key to every door

And at the end

Will we see that there was so much more

We hold the key...

5. Enter A Dream

Necessary evil and necessary pain

Sold every day

In the name of justice

They will seek to drain

Their will by God

The scale of balance

Will never be even

Justice was never there

Like in an illusion

We play truth or dare

Winning is all

In the eyes of the world

Tear down all fences to see my aim

Bring this dying world into oblivion

Within a dream of another world

Where all I live for still remain

Why would I want to be just like you?

Dressed in false ideals

Your spell now's broken

Now that you are gone

Your voice unheard

The scale of balance

Not an illusion

Winning is all

In the eyes of the world

Tear down all fences to see my aim

Bring this dying world into oblivion

Within a dream of another world

Where all I live for still remain

And as the pain grows

Your true identity comes clear

Through lands of decay you run

And the passion has you released

Tear down all fences to see my aim

Bring this dying world into oblivion

Within a dream of another world

Where all I live for still remain

6. Crossing

Instrumental

7. We Cry No More

You, you ride the winds of fury

You, you steal and kill for glory

You search your crown

Stealing mercy is really your doom

No we cry no more

No we stray no more

No we cry no more

No more wasted tears

You, you ride your dreams so far

You, you hate in the name of your god

You search your crown

Stealing mercy is really your doom

No we cry no more

No we stray no more

No we cry no more

No more wasted tears

In times of need

In times of need

You always run and hide, oh

Yeah...

Into your creed

Into your creed

You never will be free

You never will be free

No you will never be saved by your deeds

No we cry no more

No we stray no more

No we cry no more

No more wasted tears, yeah

8. Under The Sun

Why do we feed on sin?

Made out of clay

To end up in fire

Our human kind

Destined to find

Of all things how can we

In this ocean of lies

Give up the true meaning

For our ego

I accept that some things

Under the sun

Are not meant to be understood

But why, why do we feed on sin?

Ashes to ashes

And dust back to dust

A human mind

Destined to find

Of all things how can we

In this ocean of lies

Give up the true meaning

For our ego

I accept that some things

Under the sun

Are not meant to be understood

I accept that some things

Under the sun

Are not meant to be understood

I accept that some things

Under the sun

Are not meant to be understood

9. Scattered Mind

I will not be the one

You will not see me run

For cover away from you

But I will find the way

What brings them the right

To tell us what is wrong

What brings them the right

To be offended by those words

You're casting your pearls before the swine

Where do you find

Time and the strength to pull it through?

No, I will not be the one

You will not see me run

For cover away from you

But I will find the way

I cling to what you said

Somehow I feel it's true

No matter what they say,

I refuse to run no more

You're casting your pearls before the swine

Where do you find

Time and the strength to make it through?

No, I will not be the one

You will not see me run

For cover away from you

But I will find the way

I have found myself

Now that you are gone

I am not grieving for you

I have opened the door

No, I will not be the one

You will not see me run

For cover away from you

But I will find the way

No, I will not be the one...

10. Final Wisdom

Dead of the night

Only emptiness

Surrounds us there

Cry into the light

Longing for the mystery

That we one knew

Now so far away

From my childhood longing

Where is the embrace

That I once knew?

Now so far away

A conflict grown within

Where is the embrace

My faith on the edge

The light is fading

A dark desire

And with it my faith

Like raging fire

Dividing powers

In ancient riddles

Bringing balance

Of good and evil

Why, why are you so afraid?

You wish you could turn back time

We all see the final wisdom

We all will kneel in fear of freedom

We all will reach the final frontier

We all will see a new dawn rising

Echoes from the past

Fools your future

Enter the gate

Of a dead empire

You're cast out

Your crown has been taken

You don't belong

Among the sacred

You're cast out

Your crown has been taken

You don't belong

Among the sacred

Now traded places

We carry on

Misled by the lies

Into new dimensions

Again I fail you

I am so tired

Give me the strength

To hold the fire

Why, why am I so afraid

To do what my heart desire

We all see the final wisdom

We all will kneel in fear of freedom

We all will reach the final frontier

We all will see a new dawn rising

I, I am the hunter and you, so obvious my prey

You, you better see me, you

You better kneel before me

I am waiting, I am waiting for a blood-red sky

I am waiting, I am waiting for a sign to come

Oh, I must take my place in the crowd

Oh, I must leave my past far behind

I am waiting, I am waiting for a blood-red sky

I am waiting, I am waiting for a sign to come

Will you watch over me at night?

Will you follow my steps tomorrow?

(I've opened the gate to your realm,

You will be the lord of my dreams)

I feel the winter come

It brings me down in despair

I wish the spring would come

So I could meet you there

I feel the winter come

It brings me down in despair

Yeah, I wish the spring would come

So I could meet you there

We all see the final wisdom

We all will kneel in fear of freedom

We all will reach the final frontier

We all will see a new dawn rising

We all see...

We all will kneel...

We all will reach...

We all will see...

Storms and disasters will come my way

But I will never give up on the path that I aim

Time will move on but I am heading the right way

I wait for spring and then a bright summer day

Storms and disasters will come my way

I will never give up on the path that I aim

Storms and disasters will come my way... come my way...

I will never give up on the path that I aim

11. What Matters

When I am by myself

I feel sceptic to the word

When you are by my side

I feel a doubt grow in my heart

And when I think of you

I feel a sorrow in my soul

And when I talk to you

The voice inside is gone

Angel of sorrow

My lonely ghost of grief

Your pain I borrow

You bring me no relief

What matters in the end?

My faith?

Oh what is true?

I hear destructive words

Bringing me creative thoughts

A book of history

Contradictive ideals

It feeds upon my soul

It bleeds me from within

And in the end what matters

What is true, is true

Angel of sorrow

My lonely ghost of grief

Your pain I borrow

You bring me no relief

Angel of sorrow

My lonely ghost of grief

Your pain I borrow

You bring me no relief

What matters in the end?

My faith?

Oh what is true?

Break me down, set me free

What you think is best for me

Break new ground and walk away

My belief is now astray

Oh, the silence

Oh, this silence kills me

Oh, the fire

Oh, this fire burns me

Angel of sorrow

My lonely ghost of grief

Your pain I borrow

You bring me no relief

Angel of sorrow

My lonely ghost of grief

Your pain I borrow

You bring me no relief

What matters in the end?

My faith?

Oh what is true?

What matters in the end?

My faith?

Oh what is true?

What matters in the end?

My faith?

Oh what is true?

What matters in the end?

My faith?

Oh what is true?
