01. Adyta "The Neverending Embrace"
(Music: M.Jansen/Lyrics: S.Simons)
O nate vulnerate
Cito veni ad me
Te amplectar et vulnera tua lingam
Utinam te haberem, mi amor caelestis
02. Sensorium
(Music: M.Jansen, A.Sluijter, C.Janssen, S.Simons/Lyrics: M.Jansen)
Chance doesn't exist
But the path of life is not totally so predestined
And time and chronology show us how all should be
In the ways of existence
To find out why we are here
Being consciousness is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get
No one surveys the whole, focus on things so small
But life's objective is to make it meaningful
Only searching for this
That which doesn't exist
Although our ability to relativism remains unclear
Being consciousness is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get
Every answer contains a new quest
A quest to non existence, a journey with no end
I'm not afraid to die
I'm afraid to be alive without being aware of it
I'm so afraid to, I couldn't stand to
Waste all my energy on things
That do not matter anymore
Our future has already been written by us alone
But we don't grasp the meaning
Of our programmed course of life
We only fear what comes
And smell death every day
(Search for the answers that lie beyond)
Our future has already been wasted by us alone
And we just let it happen and do not worry at all
Being consciousness is a torment…
03. Cry for the Moon "The Embrace that Smothers - Part IV"
(Music: M.Jansen, A.Sluijter, S.Simons/Lyrics: M.Jansen)
Follow your common sense
You cannot hide yourself
behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this sick bulwark forever and ever
Forever and ever
Indoctrinated minds so very often
Contain sick thoughts
And commit most of the evil they preach against
Don't try to convince me with messages from God
You accuse us of sins committed by yourselves
It's easy to condemn without looking in the mirror
Behind the scenes opens reality
Eternal silence cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale
Nor is the will to forget
Follow your common sense…
Virginity has been stolen at very young ages
And the extinguisher loses its immunity
Morbid abuse of power in the garden of Eden
Where the apple gets a youthful face
Eternal silence…
Follow your common sense…
Eternal silence…
You can't go on hiding yourself
Behind old fashioned fairytales
And keep washing your hands in innocence
04. Feint
(Music: M.Jansen, A.Sluijter, C.Janssen, S.Simons/Lyrics: M.Jansen)
The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished
Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
Made foundations quiver
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
And I shiver...
The leftover tallow just doesn't contain
All the right answers
Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom
As untouched snow turns red
Innocence dies
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart…
This black page in history is not colorfast,
will stain the next
All what remains is just a feint of what was meant to be
This black page in history is not colorfast,
will stain the next
And nothing seems in life,
in dreams like what was meant to be
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart…
05. Illusive Consensus
(Music: M.Jansen, A.Sluijter, C.Janssen, S.Simons/Lyrics: S.Simons)
So sweet caress, never long to last!
You entered my soul and gave hope to my life.
So sweet caress, never long to last!
You left me behind all alone and aghast
Captured inside such an austere Elysium
Imperfect feelings, futile grief
Love a device against all solitude
As it all went on, the love became
A field in a dream that once had been real
So sweet caress, never long to last!
Destroy this illusion we need a change of fate!
Your frantic thoughts are only a condemned cry
Imperfect feelings, futile grief…
Primo somniare videbamur
deinde veritas se praecipitavit
I secretly longed for something
which had never existed
First I thought it was a dream,
but then it smashed into reality
Beautiful on the outside, decayed deeply within
I secretly longed for something…
Devoted to a body without a soul
Numquam non tibi diffidam
06. Façade of Reality "The Embrace that Smothers - Part V"
(Music: M.Jansen, A.Sluijter, S.Simons/Lyrics: M.Jansen)
Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit
Macula aeterintatis
Numquam detergenda
Quisnam surget et deteget
Imaginem veritates ?
People created religious inventions
To give their lives a glimmer of hope
And to ease their fear of dying
And people created religious intentions
Only to feel superior and to have a license to kill
Our desire to die is stronger
Than all your desire for life
There is no getting away from it now
Only true faith survives
People created religious inventions
To give their lives a glimmer of hope
And to ease their fear of dying
And people created religious ascensions
To subject the others and to enslave, just to further enrich themselves
“This mass terrorism is a new evil in our world today”
It doesn't matter where we die
It doesn't matter that you cry
We'll take you with us
“For those people who lost their lives on the 11th of September and those that mourn them; now is the time for the strength to build that community. Let that be their memorial”
A disgrace on the beyond
O servator, sempiterne
Te grati coluimus, Odor atrox quo nos superfundis intolerabilis est
Deceive yourself by yielding
to soft words that cause no pain
Enrich yourself with different views
Learned without disdain
A disgrace on the beyond
That can never be undone
Who shall rise and unveil
The Facade of Reality?
Is there still room for new dents in old wrecks?
A disgrace on the beyond that can never be undone
Deceive yourself by yielding to soft words
Enrich yourself by making up your own mind
Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit
07. Run for a fall
(Music: M.Jansen, A.Sluijter, S.Simons/Lyrics: M.Jansen)
Do not use the past as an alibi
For all of your deficiencies always standing by
Face your negligence, do not fool yourself
Shortcomings will soon appear
For weakness shows itself
Blind from your success and all of the excess
Deaf from the praise you had
Don't cry out of self pity in forcing your way through
For I will not be vulnerable to slander made by you
Blind from your success and all of the excess..
In a misty veil, misplaced
Where castles in the air will be no longer seen
As something out of reach
In time the dream will be erased
So many things will never be the way they seemed
And pride will have its fall at last
Her eyes fell while the shame was written on her face
When she realized that her failures
could never be undone again
You did not notice the manipulated hand
That overshadowed your thoughts all those years
That made you insecure
You did not notice the ancient shifting sand
That pulls you down into an everlasting sham
You will never be able to fight
Never be able to hide
Run for a fall, you'd better run
Blind from your success and all of the excess..
In a misty veil, misplaced…
08. Seif al Din "The Embrace that Smothers - Part VI"
(Music: M.Jansen, A.Slujter/Lyrics: M.Jansen)
The origin of a dogma
Placed in a new millennium
Vilified demons have been embraced
And given a warm welcome
The Seif al Din
Hasn't got the ghost of a chance to rust
Because it has always been kept in shape
In serving the one Almighty
The rudiments have always been misinterpreted during history,
despite the good intentions of many disciples who's faithful
believe was strong and unswayed.
Most leaders interpret the old words to their
advantage in the attempt of gaining leadership and power
over those unfortunate enough to fall under their maliciousness and manipulative ways.
This misuse of trust will forever stain the pages of history,
echoing the exploitation and the frailty of decent
men carried away by nurtured rancour...
Perpetual distrust fed by a belief
In the malevolence of the others
When the beautiful unreality holds out its hand
It's better not to lose yourself in blind faith
La Illah Illallah, Mohammed rasul Allah
09. The Phantom Agony
(Music: M.Jansen, A.Sluijter, Y.Huts/Lyrics: M.Jansen)
I. Impasse Of Thoughts
I can't see you, I can't hear you
Do you still exist?
I can't feel you, I can't touch you,
Do you exist?
The Phantom Agony
I can't taste you, I can't think of you,
Do we exist at all?
II. Between Hope and Despair
The future doesn't pass
And the past won't overtake the present
All that remains is an obsolete illusion
We are afraid of all the things that could not be
A phantom agony
Do we dream at night
Or do we share the same old fantasy?
I am a silhouette of the person wandering in my dreams
Tears of unprecedented beauty
Reveal the truth of existence
We're all sadists
The age-old development of consciousness
Drives us away from the essence of life
We meditate too much,
so that our instincts will fade away
They fade away
What's the point of life
And what's the meaning if we all die in the end?
Does it make sense to learn or do we forget everything?
Tears of unprecedented beauty
Reveal the truth of existence
We're all pessimists
Teach me how to see and free the disbelief in me
What we get is what we see, the Phantom Agony…
A te spiritus noster devoratur et nostra anima capitur
I’m afraid of my own exchange of views
What we get is what we see, the Phantom Agony…
III. Nevermore
The lucidity of my mind has been revealed in new dreams
I am able to travel where my heart goes
In search of self-realization
This is the way to escape from our agitation
And develop ourselves
Use your illusion and enter my dream...
