No one else can see the thing that I have seen
Watching from the mountains over an endless sea
Offering my future
Giving up my soul
To be forever floating is my final goal
I'll be free, with myself and me
Amazing graze, that they can't replace
Nature calls in her mystical ways
It's all around and I feel its breath in my face
In my face
All I've seen
All I've done
All I feel
All is one
Every face
Every trace
Every place
Lost in space
Nature calls in her mystical ways
It's all around and I feel its breath in my face
Chilly white impressions make my body cold
I want to know what's out there before I get too old
Visit foreign landscapes and admiring all the views
Maybe in some other life they might come to use
I'll be free, with myself and me
Amazing grace, that they can't replace
Nature calls in het mystical ways
It's all around and I feel its breath in my face.
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!
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.
I don't have time for you
Just sitting here waiting in my room
Solitary environments
And I'm not getting younger
All the nights before I was down on my knees
No reason and no rhymes
Forever lost in my needs,
Until the end of time
Remember that it's hard to see
Whenm all becomes blank
Remember that it's hard
When no one lends you a hand, I...
Heart stops beating I crawl
Lungs stop breathing I fall
It is too late, my senses start to fall,
And they wash away like the sand
I become mellow,
And words will turn into stone
I have got no time just to stand in line
It doesn't make much sense when I am past tense
All the nights before I was down on my knees
No reasons and no rhymes
Forever lost in my needs,
Until the end of time
I see a bright light leading me on
Inviting strongly
A tunnel with no end
Passing through I see there's no one else but,
A mirror watching me, looking at myself
I...
I...
I...
I...
I feel cold I feel so cold
Is this time to say, goodbye?
Is this time to make them cry?
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.
Scared
Too scared
You're just too scared
All their eyes are watching, are watching your way
They'll tear your body and they'll rape your soul
Don't let them get you
Regain control
It's time for you to come out of your shell
It's time for you to escape from your hell!
Get away, get to somewhere
To where the power is yours
Get away, get to anywhere
Forget your psychic remorse
Get away, get to somewhere
Get away, get to anywhere
See the light that's in your eyes
Over the hills you can see them coming
Skeletons, bones without faces
Try to catch you in your sleep
An outrage of the deep
Throwing their body parts at you
Their flesh, their skin
It's an army of the dead
A conspiracy in your head
An unspecific outrage of your mind
In the distance you can see your brain
Floating in a bowl of mental fears
And above it is a giant screen
Playing visions of forgotten scenes
Spinning around at incredible speed
Faster
Faster!
I know you, so well
Better than you can tell
Don't break this spell
Read my thuoghts well
I identify myself with you
And you too
Spinning ageless around
Study parts on the charts
Draw a line, to confine
Expose yourself to the wealth of dreamscapes far away
And what stands in your way
Keep on track
Don't look back
Use a thread to find your way back home
Find someone so you are not alone
Walking on thin ice
Steady she goes then aimless she knows:
Got to get there
Walking along bright eyes
Head for your goal and then capture your soul
Don't forget that!
And now you see, it's only me, fighting, fighting to be free
And now you see, it's only me, fighting, fighting to be free
And now you see, it's only me, fighting, fighting to be free
And now you see, it's only me, fighting, fighting to be free
To be free
To be free, to be free
Scared
Too scared
You're just too scared
All their eyes are watching, are watching your way
Buckle up, take a hike, and fasten your seat belts!
Get away, get away
See the man dragging you down
His face is changing
Alone you're doing all right
You're doing fine
The posession is yours but you are still mine!
