All the things that are on his mind, he leaves them far behind
Everything's so tranquil now, everything seems right somehow
There always seems to be a place, where words turn into rage
Here comes the Utopian, here comes the Utopian
He wants to put an end to war, what on earth we're fighting for
Useless bloodshed in the sun, mankind has signed his own destruction
Revolution has its way, to try to save the day
Here comes the Utopian, here comes the Utopian
The things that he fears, lead him on through the years
To a time where he will know for sure: That fear is no more
Than a speechless face, that just silently will smile and gaze
To what's far beyond, in a better future
His heart will beat just like a drum, and visions will echo its sound
Rhythms fill the air, oh, rhythms fill the air, here comes the Utopian
Suddenly, there's a voice screaming out of the distance:
The dreams are alive, with hearts beating,
Hopes trying, colours flying, crying
They gathered for the feast
They came here just to listen
To prophets of peace
The ones that we've been missin'
Behind these castle-walls
The knights bow their heads
While they count their souls
And the wars they have led
Then a voice from the past says:
How do you do?
If you want to survive
It's all up to you
Ready to defend
Their own imaginations
Go towards the end
Of wars between the nations
Behind the iron masks
Lies the need for a truce
Even the kings and the queens
Know the right way to choose
And as tough as they seem
They come to shake hands
Spread the message around
All over this land
"Listen": Said the voice
of all imaginations
We've come so far
We've grown so strong
The future and the past
Are all the implications
Of a knowledge gained
For a peace to last
Behind the iron masks
Lies the need for a truce
Even the kings and the queens
Know the right way to choose
And as tough as they seem
They come to shake hands
Spread the message around
All over this land
I try to control my imagination
Things get out of hand,
Each time I fall in love
Each time I fall for my own creations
Kill your darlings
Kill your darlings
Kill your darlings
They say: Kill them all!
They force their company on me,
Every time they count on my mercy,
They point out their beauty
And have me on my knees
But this time I won't just give in
I'll scratch half of them to begin with...?
Which ones will drop out?
I try to control my imaginations
Things get out of hand,
Each time I fall in love
Each time I fall for my own creations
Kill your darlings
Kill your darlings
Kill your darlings
They say: Kill them all!
You light a candle in the dark, and it's only for me
From the lighter flows a spark, from you right through me
It's been a long time since we've been together
We were so young I can hardly remember
Good things last forever, try to understand
It really doesn't matter, for if we need a friend
There are no obligations, not a sense of pride
There are no strings attached, it's not a waste of time
You sit beside me, look my way, and it was meant to be
This love is only for one day, in the morning you'll leave
It feels so good and we both will taste the wine
I'm so relieved that it's only a good time
Good things last forever, try to understand
It really doesn't matter, for if you need a friend
There are no obligations, not a sense of pride
There are no strings attached, it's not a waste of time
On the wall the picture will stay
We hold each other's hands, waiting for the end, of the night
In the bedroom, your smell, fills the air
Even when you're not around, I still can hear the sound, of your voice
Good things last forever, try to understand
It really doesn't matter, for if you need a friend
There are no obligations, not a sense of pride
There are no strings attached, it's not a waste of time
Constant desperation
Makes you wonder what you want to believe
What you want to conceive
Time is going by, leave it all behind, touch the sky
Some things don't work out, regain your strength, look around
In this competition
No room, no place for you
To shelter and hide
Your pride will grow, if you take the chance, you can show
Music lasts forever, the darkest days, will erase
Lies reflect the truth of what you want to see
Possessed by greedy needs, addicted to defeat
Fake dreams, play scenes
Tumbling, rumbling
In an empty space, losing all control
Logic turns to rage, perspective is too small
Omens, moments
Faking, awaking
Constant desperation
Makes you wonder just why
You cry
Right ahead, iron threats,
Sail the deep blue sea
Navigate, going straight
Following their leads
Quite a sight, scares the light
They're heading each other's way
Cold steel turn its wheel,
Trying to save the day
Side by side, against the tide
Ready to attack
Fully armed, and alarmed
There is no turning back
4 grey corpses, they seem to come alive
The mist colours their skin
Targets locked, hulls are shocked
The guns commit their sin
Side by side, against the tide
Ready to attack
Fully armed, and alarmed
There is no turning back
Now one's the leader, he's the one in charge
The others will serve his right
Cold steel, turns its wheel,
To commence another fight.
In darkness I awake
Is this a dream?
Last thing I remember:
I was walking on the shore
I was trying to bide the time
I was trying to ease my mind
Find some peace within my heart
Find a brand-new way to start,
All over again
And then suddenly the sky is turning green
The sea becomes restless
You won't believe what I've seen
The colossus rising right before my eyes
With all his might
Against the light
A fading sun
I feel reborn
In a magic trance I stepped into the water
I was paralysed and struck by beauty
Why do we care so much?
How can I explain?
I want to step inside you
Feel your hunger,
For freedom thet will guide you
Through days of thunder
In this sea of dangers
There are so may strangers,
Trying to hunt you down
I will guard your body
Wake beside you
So no one else can harm you
Or surprise you
They shoot to kill
They hunt you still
You're so big but fragile
No mean machine
The water is your castle,
But liberty is a dream
They hunt you still
They shoot to kill!
We together
We are one
I need to protect you for you have become:
The colossus hiding far out at sea
The chase is on
Your time has come
The whales just cry:
Please change the tide!
And so we've become warriors of the sea
Wearing a thin disguise so no one else can see us
Go away!
And then suddenly the water feels cold
Lost its will to fight
He has become too old
The colossus dying right here in my arms
His time has come
The spirit's gone
He shuts his eyes
The whales just cry!
Please stay
Don't go away
No time left to live, left to give
No time to make up for the things we've done wrong
All the whales gather round and they mourn
They mourn
Little child in the dark lonely night
Now you've gone, look at what you have become
Too scared to face the daylight
Too scared to make them pay.
Sentimental dreams, leading me to extremes
I want to be with you, I want to embrace you
In the dungeons of my heart, there is no way that we can part
I want to stay with you, I want to play with you
I'm drowning, within your eyes, I'm loosing control
I'm melting, just by one look, I'm burning up inside
Longing just to be, together you and me
I want to undress you, I want to mess with you
Embrace me, embrace me, won't you embrace me?
Now why won't you embrace me?
Although I try to speak, you act, as I'm not here, I'm not here
Nothing is all I hear from you, that I hear from you
Embrace me, embrace me, won't you embrace me?
Now why won't you embrace me?
You seem so far away, so far beyond my reach, my reach
Rejection is all, I feel, unreal, I feel so unreal
I ride on the waves, I might count the days,
I've tried to get you home, to where you belong, you belong
Is my hope in vain, in vain? Is it useless?
