"The Neverending Embrace -
Prelude"
Музыка: M. Jansen - Слова: S. Simons
O nate vulnerate
Cito veni ad
me
Te amplectar et vulnera tua lingam
Utinam
te haberem, mi amor caelestis
Sensorium
Музыка: M. Jansen / A. Sluijter / C. Janssen / S. Simons - Слова: M. Jansen
Chance doesn't exist
But the path of
life is totally so predestined
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
Every answer contains a new quest
A
quest to non existence, a journey with no end
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 relativize remains
unclear
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
Our
future has already been wasted by us alone
And we
just let it happen and do not worry at all
We
only fear what comes
And smell death every
day
Search for the answers that lie
beyond
Cry For The Moon
"The Embrace that Smothers - Part IV"
Музыка: M. Jansen / A. Sluijter / S. Simons - Слова: 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
Virginity has been stolen at very
young ages
And the extinguisher loses it's
immunity
Morbid abuse of power in the garden of
eden
Where the apple gets a youthful face
You
can't go on hiding yourself
Behind old fashioned
fairytales
And keep washing your hands in
innocence
Feint
Музыка: M. Jansen / A. Sluijter / C. Janssen / S. Simons - Слова: 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
An untuched
snow turns red
Innocence dies
This black page
in history is not colourfast,
will stain the
next
All that remains is just a feint of what was
meant to be
This black page in history is not
colourfast,
will stain the next
And nothing seems
in life,
in dreams like what was meant to
be
Illusive
Consensus
Музыка: M. Jansen / A. Sluijter / C. Janssen / S. Simons - Слова: S. Simons
So sweet caress, never long to
last!
You entered my soul and gave hope to my
life.
So sweet caress, never hope to last!
You
left me behind all alone and aghast
Capured inside
such an austere Elysium
Imperfect feelings,
futile greef
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
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
which
had never existed
Devoted to a body without a
soul
Numquam non tibi
diffidam
Facade Of
Reality
"The Embrace that Smothers - Part V"
Музыка: M. Jansen / A. Sluijter / S. Simons - Слова: 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 thet you cry
We'll take you with
us
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
diasdaon
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 ondone
Deceive yourself by yielding to
soft words
Enrich yourself by making up your own
mind
Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus
sit
Run For A
Fall
Музыка: M. Jansen / A. Sluijter / C. Janssen / S. Simons - Слова: 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 vunnerable
to slander made by you
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 it's fall at
last
Her eyes fell while the shame was written on
her face
When she realised 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
Seif Al Din
"The
Embrace that Smothers - Part VI"
Музыка: M. Jansen / A. Sluijter - Слова: 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 th 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
The Phantom Agony
Музыка: M. Jansen / A. Sluijter / Y. Huts - Слова: 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 persen wandering in my
dreams
Tears of unprecedented beauty
Reveal
the truth of existence
We're all sadists
The
age-old development of conciousness
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 learsn 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
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-realisation
This is the way to escape from
our agitation
And develop ourselves
Use your
illusion and enter my
dream...
Veniality
Searching for what she can't find
For her own peace of mind
She can't forgive, nor forget the past
These ineffable feelings and hurt that last evermore
Bewail the truth, the face of fate, and conquer all the past
Don't enthrall yourself, let the penance begin
You've got to open your heart
to see the confinement
Bewail the truth, the face of fate, and conquer all the past
It seems so futile, forgiveness, your freedom
the present state of veniality
Bewail the truth, the face of fate, and conquer all the past
Search for the light, and then you'll find
your own peace of mind
