1. Take Off

(Instrumental)

2. The Mission

Oh, oh…

“Move along it takes too long, you’re holding back the line!”
I tell you, we’ve been waiting here forever
“Go ahead, don’t worry yet ’cause everything is fine”
A brand new world for us – it’s now or never

It could be strange and will need a change
Hail intervention – we’re under one flag
‘Cause we are on the mission and we’ll never go back

Now we’re on the mission – the average man
Is down on his knees, so he won’t understand
Above the suspicion and fear of the law
We do what we do what it takes to continue the war

“Hurry up and check the map, there must be something left”
Nobody’s getting rich by moving slower, moving slower
“Torch their towns – forget the clowns accusing us in theft”
Remember how it works – we’re taking over!
Taking over!

We’ll change the rules for those native fools
Hail intervention – we’re under one flag
‘Cause we are on the mission and we’ll never go back

Now we’re on the mission – the average man
Is down on his knees, so he won’t understand
Above the suspicion and fear of the law
We do what we do what it takes to continue the war

The mission’s right over your head
“It’s not what you think” as it’s always been said
No visible victims – we’re very discrete
There’s no turning back ‘til the day when the mission’s complete

Oh, oh…

Now we’re on the mission – the average man
Is down on his knees, so he won’t understand
Above the suspicion and fear of the law
We do what we do what it takes to continue the war

3. Exit Gravity

(Instrumental)

4. Surrender

“Open up the window”, said the light
“See into another world”
Is it only a dream?
Voices sound familiar in the night…
Could this be reality?
Or is it all in my mind?

Why? (Oh why?) me? (Why me?)
Could I (could I) just be (just be) “the One” (the One)?
Or have I come undone?

Head in through the door and start to run straight into another life
Dear old friends beside me
Never had a dream that’s so surreal
Could this be the end for me?
Am I losing my mind?

Still… (I’m still) I (still I) just stay (just stay) can’t run (can’t run) away (away)
There’s a price to pay…

Look into the sky through the naked eye, in a flash of light – surrender
Losing everything, soldiers march and sing
Distant bells will ring – surrender
Let the children cry, earth will breathe a sigh
In a blaze of light – surrender
They’re taking everything
Demons dance and sing when the chimes will ring – the end is here

“Open up the window”, said the light
“Welcome to another world”
Dear old friends beside me
Voices so familiar every night
Could this be reality?
Am I losing my mind?

Why? (Oh why?) me? (Why me?)
Could I (could I) just be (just be) “the One” (the One)?
Or have I come undone?

5. Clean Sweep

Scratch the surface of your fear – take a look inside it
Books on fire everywhere – our work? – You got it right
We’d never missed a chance – to destroy – whatever – comes our way
So day by day – it goes on – forever
Burning the age (burning the age) page after page (page after page) leaving the stage (leaving) to you

No excuses, no regrets – wiping out – the magic
Things we’d never understand – dying through – the tragic, final point of no return
You can see it – coming – in the dark behind your back
Step by step – it’s climbing up to the top of your world…

I’m waiting

6. Judgement Day

I don’t need a reason, being who I am
I don’t need a reason to try to understand
Why we even bother, in the no one’s land, killing one another
(For what?) Some rocks and sand?

(Should I) stop that flow?
And I (should I) let it go

Everybody’s losing for a little gain”
Everybody’s choosing to walk away in pain
(Wake me up, I’m dreaming) world’s gone insane
I would give my life away, but who can stop the rain?

(Should I) stop that flow?
And I (should I) let it go!

(I swear, I swear) I’ll stop these bullets in the air
(I swear, I swear) I won’t walk away, no, no
(My share, my share) to be a tougher man to scare
(My share, my share) right to the dawn of Judgment Day

I know this day will come and count the score…

Waiting for tomorrow I’d close my eyes and pray:
“Take my load of sorrow and all my fears away”
In a scary fashion (nightmare reappears)
(I can feel it coming) and waking up in tears

(But I) stop that flow
And I (no way) let it go

(I swear, I swear) I’ll stop these bullets in the air
(I swear, I swear) I won’t walk away, no
(My share, my share) to be a tougher man to scare
(My share, my share) right to the dawn of Judgment Day
(I know, I know) it’s hard to move against the flow
(I know, I know) but I won’t hide away, no, no
(I’ll go, I’ll go) cross the desert through the snow
(I’ll go, I’ll go) into the light of Judgment Day…

Oh…

Don’t tell me lies, ’cause everybody knows what’s going on
We’re almost proud that our race is bad right to the bone
Can’t you see? (Can’t you see?)
We’re looking again, high and low (we’re looking)
For the world (for the world) to destroy – like our own?

7. Metamorphosis

(Instrumental)

8. World Wide War

Oh!

We’re here to simplify your life forever man
You just don’t know how good your life is gonna be
Take every aspect of your day
Computerize the place you stay
Just leave the thinking up to me

Technology within the walls around you
You never knew how much you needed our protection

(1) too many reasons
(2) the changing seasons
(3) the time has come to realize
(3) so sad and lonely
(2) you are the only
(1) countdown to World Wide War
(World Wide War)

“We’ve come to take away your brain – and put computers in its place”
You’ll never hear these words from me
Just smile and sign away your life – and kiss your holographic wife
You never dreamed it’d be so good

Technology will wrap its arms around you
Just let our mainframe show you love and affection

(1) too many reasons
(2) the changing seasons
(3) the time has come to realize
(3) so sad and lonely
(2) you are the only
(1) countdown to World Wide War
(1) too many reasons
(2) the changing seasons
(3) the time has come to realize
(3) so sad and lonely
(2) you are the only
(1) countdown to war…

“Oh no, you’re never gonna change the way I live my life”
(We’ll insert a chip in the place where your heart used to be)
“Oh no, you’re never gonna take my heart ,my soul”
Tell your soul – we control these things…

Oh!

We’re here to simplify your life forever man
You just don’t know how good your life is gonna be
Just smile and sign away your life – and kiss your holographic wife
You never dreamed it’d be so good!

Technology will wrap its arms around you
Just let our mainframe show you love and surround you

9. Dreamline

(Instrumental)

10. Out of Reach

On the road of disillusions, in the land of broken dreams
From the city of confusions (scared to death I’m running) or so it seems
In the sun my heart is freezing
Mind is boiling in the shade
(And a mean mirage is teasing) ‘cross the endless desert – that’s due to fade
By now, but still around (makes me wonder why we’re here)
On this unholy ground…

(I feel you’re near, I hear your call) I see your shadow on the wall
(I know you’re here day after day) but every time one step away
(Divided only in our mind) why can’t we see another’s side?
(Out of my fear I’ll build the bridge) you are so close but out of reach… (out of reach)

I can’t tell you where I’m going
I can’t tell you where I’ve been
I just run without knowing (what I did)
You know what – just what I mean?
I gave up on understanding
I let go the foolish pride
Won’t expect a happy ending (not this time)
I know it – but it’s alright
‘Cause me and you’re the same (even 1000 years apart)
I got someone to blame…!

We were looking at each other (while the ones we’ll never see)
Only few have slowly passed you… and me…

11. Fourth Dimension

12. Days of No Trust

Oh…

Oh, oh…

Dark and silent world just felt asleep
Moon is staring from the deep
Wise and quiet sky above my head
Stars are fading – do they regret?
Hopes and fears that they reflected back to us through all those years?

Time is standing still until the dawn
Living daylights will force it on the run – game is over
No more peace of mind ‘til the night comes crawling so I could find you
And then I could dive into the darkness full of memories again

If I’m closing my eyes to remember the day – when the wind of eternity took you away
Many colors of pain in my heart I can see – it’s all coming back to me
As the merciless sun melts the rest of the night – chasing vision of you through the ocean of light
Slowly passing me by – turning wishes to dust
I’m living the days of no trust…

When the wind of eternity took you away
It’s all coming back to me
Ocean of light
Living the days of no trust

13. Total Recall

Oh…

Oh!

We gave this pain to the world which we can’t understand (ah…)
Blood disappears like the raindrops when hitting the sand (ah…)
Eye on the Bible and hand on the gun, wandering comes to an end
Fight in the name of your God and his Son, wait for the final command:

(Total Recall…) we saw it all, we took it all protected by the law
(Total Recall…) we torched another life we’ll never know
(Total Recall…)

Wish for redemption and peace’s never crossing our mind
(Blood on the bricks) that’s all that we’re leaving behind (ah…)
Pictures of home disappearing in flames
Mission’s complete in the end…
(There’s nothing to lose) we’re ready to go
Wait for the final command

(Total Recall…) we saw it all, we took it all protected by the law
(Total Recall…) we torched another life we’ll never know
(Total Recall…) we shot it all, we burned it all and now it’s time to go
(Total Recall…) oh…
(Total Recall…)
(Total Recall…)
(Total Recall…)
(Total Recall…)

(Total Recall…) we saw it all, we took it all protected by the law
(Total Recall…) we torched another life we’ll never know
(Total Recall…) we shot it all, we burned it all and now it’s time to go!
(Total Recall…) oh!
(Total Recall…)
(Total Recall…)
(Total Recall…)
(Total Recall…)
(Total Recall…)
(Total Recall…)
(Total Recall…)
(Total Recall…)

Father… where do we go from here?
Oh!

Where do we go from here?
