THE GREAT UNKNOWN Finally we are on our way Where no man's gone, launching deep into the great unknown Space and time passing by, but the world outside is swallowed whole by the starless sky I turned the key in the door It's been a long time a-coming I've been a long time gone I can't believe this is happening to me We have passed the sun and something tells me this has just begun I turned the key in the door It's been a long time a-coming I've been a long time gone All the forces of the cosmos lead me on as we shoot through the galaxy I'm coming home!

30 Pieces 07:13
30 Pieces Did you see me? Did you bother when my head was under water? When the road was hard and winding Where were you? Where were you hiding? You were nowhere to be found When I searched the heavens and the ground Or was I too blind to see That was what you kept on telling me So the truth shall set me free? Well, I'm cold and I am hungry Tell me why I should believe I see death and I see you and me Darkness falling down on me The betrayal burned a mark so deep Thirty pieces at my feet No lord above my soul to keep The silver coins lay on the ground - they blind my eyes What would it take to make all my dreams come to life? Only a word Give me just a sign Just a tiny lie
3.
KING OBLIVION The seven trumpets call Locusts fall Darkening the sky and sun The serpent's head will rise from the depths From the corners of your mind Ever wondered why? What's another lie In a dark forest of denial? What's another drop In a deep and diluted sea of compromise? The horsemen gather 'round Line by line Waiting for the chosen one No heads hang in shame All as one Bow to King Oblivion Oh, it makes me cry What's another lie In a forest of denial? What's another drop In a deep and diluted sea of compromise?
4.
A SKY ABOUT TO RAIN How did it ever come to this? I can't pretend that nothing's changed any longer I've drowned the doubts and chewed the lies Ignored the space between the lines Don't act so surprised when you knew it all along Each and every lie burns a hole into my soul Then you asked me how this came to be... A quite selective memory... In what dirty river did you find the water that would make you lose your reflection? Heard you say we're both to blame... It's just a lame attempt to ease your pain... Don't act so surprised when you knew it all along Each and every lie burns a hole into my soul A Sky About To Rain

STARDUST AND SAND All was dark in the deep Traces few, faint and weak Worried whispers from below No-one here to bless my soul I can't see what you see Where you are or where you've been Who are you? Friend or foe? Where's the secret yet untold? Saw you in the distance Damn these feet of clay Tried to raise myself up But even failed to call your name Slept with one eye open Dream held tight in hand Woke and found it broken Amidst the stardust and the sand
7.
IN FOR A RIDE How long 'til I'm set free Until I find a tie that binds? How long until I see The words that rhyme? But when the blinding lights have all gone down You are in for a ride How long until we meet Until our lines will intertwine? How far until we hit The other side? But when we've passed the point of no return You are in for a ride Fate came by and leaned in close to me I skipped a heartbeat What if this is what I've waited for? Then what will come of me? Maybe the timing is more wrong than right? Signs of panic But I've bought that ticket and I'll take that ride There's no way back to sleep When you've woken up the beast Suddenly the dice were cast The bones were dancing madly on the table Don't think about tomorrow Don't dwell on the mistakes that you have made This is the time, this is the place And when the blinding lights have all gone down You are in for a ride

PRINCE OF THE OCEAN Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden Am I too late? Are you gone now forever? So many things I never did tell you So many things, but still not much getting done Examining memories, dissecting dreams Looking for visions and great, long lost schemes Half-baked ideas were all that I found No guide to my future, no key to what I've become I am an island, a ship on a sea I drift with the winds Where the currents will lead I am an island, a star in the night I scan the horizons for beacons of light Long are the hours Still is the sea When you had gone through the lost and the found What were the things that stuck in your mind? When you were tossing and turning in bed What were the thoughts that went through your head I know that you're longing for some greater plan A welcoming harbour, a safe place to land Abandon the anchor, go set the sail Lashed to the mast, follow the nail!
