Once a world, endless and free Horizons unbroken Now a world of bounded frontiers The elders have spoken (our home)
Once a world, eternal and blue Floating, escaping Now a world that′s blinding my view Shadows shaping (our home)
[Chorus:] Liquid eternity crosses through our veins Liquid eternity nourishes our brains Liquid eternity, a world that does not live Liquid eternity, a life that does not yield
Once a world of fear and dismay Of fleeing and hiding Now a world that′s peaceful and safe So caring and providing, our home...
[Chorus]
Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead Would you prefer to live the life we′ve learned to dread Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead (our home)
I′m losing my reason to live The essence of life
But the system′s got so much to give Or would you rather die...
I′m losing my pride and my joy My will to believe
Why would you come back and destroy What we have achieved
[Chorus]
Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead Would you prefer to live the life we′ve loved to play Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead
[Chorus]
Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead Would you prefer to live the life we′ve loved to play Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead (our home)
Looking at a picture of you in my hands Wondering if I′m ever gonna see you again
Without you I don′t know how my life will be But I believe It′s not goodbye Cause I will remember you And I will see you again When I rise Cause I know and I believe I will see you in eternity
So close yet so far But in my heart you′re here with me You did not leave You just went to live in eternity
Without you I dont know how my life will be But I believe It′s not goodbye Cause I will remember you And I will see you again When I rise Cause I know and I believe I will see you in eternity
You will live in the light of the sun again Dancing in the river of life and Knowing that′ll never end and forever by my side I′ll never have to say goodbye
Cause I will remember you And I will see you again When I rise Cause I know and I believe I will see you in eternity
It′s not goodbye Cause I will remember you And I will see you again When I rise Cause I know and I believe I will see you in eternity I will see you in eternity
Emptiness running through me Taking all that i am Leaving me this blinding mask Grasping for the wind Everything I′ve done Everything I′ve gained It all means nothing A mere breath has passed away Sadness I embrace Left with empty promises I look at myself and see the scars That are brought to me by this life Then I ask myself Is that all this world has to give The chase is over I am finished Stripped of every reason I cry out to You From my knees I scream
Winter ice - terminal frost Closing eyes of equinox Dimensional change - darkening skies The sphere is shackled till dusk
Prophet dreams - ride the winds As black holes open for devouring Universal chaos in the realm of time Surface of earth - covered in rime
From beyond enter the horror Of a dark and hideous nature The fall of man is now at hand Awakened from an ancient slumber The immortal ones return The earth is theirs ones again
Stricken, cursed - frozen damnation Man′s fall to perpetual domination Time trapped in between stages Frigid return to the chamber of ages
black theatre of love violet dancers cast their blood the moon gave me flowers for funerals to come 12 shapes bow before her i am still one of them 12 morbid ways to die her beauty scares me i′m falling deeper no more pain to feel noe touch the silence afraid of hell black theatre violet dancers drink my blood the moon gave me flowers for funerals to come i cannot breathe i am losing life the moon paint the skyline blue she died so beautiful
I realize I missed a day, but I′m too wrecked to care anyway I look around and see this face, what the hell have I lost my taste Don′t want to find out, just want to cut out My head explodes, my ears ring, I can′t remember just where I′ve been The last thing that I recall, I got lost in a deep black hole Don′t want to find out, just want to cut out Blackout, I really had a blackout Blackout, I really had a blackout Blackout, I really had a blackout Blackout, I really had a blackout I grab my things and make my run, on my way out, another one Would like to know before I stop, did I make it or did I flop Don′t want to find out, just want to get out Blackout, I really had a blackout Blackout, I really had a blackout Blackout, I really had a blackout Blackout, I really had a blackout Oh, ah, I really had a blackout, baby Don′t want to find out, just want to get out Blackout, I really had a blackout Blackout, I really had a blackout Blackout, I really had a blackout Blackout, I really had a blackout
To come inside bring me the key I can′t find the way to be free with you Forever moments in time I′m commencing thought this time
