Angels & Agony - Unison (2007)

I'm standing outside
Everything is rushing around me
All lights are getting dark
I close my eyes
And feel the being of the people
Oscillating through my hands

We are the watchers of the world
Observing every single move
As long as we wish to make a change
As long as we can feel your pain
We are the watchers of the world
Counting every word we speak

We are the watchers of the world
From the moment we were born
As long as we wish to care
As long as we can feel your love
We are the watchers of the world
Counting every heartbeat

I'm looking inside
Everyone is cold and lonely
Their hearts are getting dark
I close my eyes
And feel the souls of the people
Slipping through my hands

From all nations,
People gather round,
Standing proud,
Against the rage,
That rips our world apart,
Worlds are turning,
Times are changing,
What defines our freedom,
Worlds are turning,
Times are changing,
What gives us direction.

Million voices sing in Unison,
"We were never lost."
Expanding souls will live forever,
Awaken until our turn has come
Million Voice sing in Unison
"There is no one lost"
From today unto forever,
Awaken till the fear is gone

From all nations,
People cry out loud,
We are the me,
We've had enough,
We go no further,
We want no more,
Worlds are shaking,
Life are changing,
What defines as humans,
Worlds are shaking,
Life are changing,
What makes us worth while

Million voices sing in Unison,
"We were never lost."
Expanding souls will live forever,
Awaken until our turn has come
Million Voice sing in Unison
"There is no one lost"
From today unto forever,
Awaken till the fear is gone

Million voices sing in Unison,
"We were never lost."
Expanding souls will live forever,
Awaken until our turn has come
Million Voice sing in Unison
"There is no one lost"
From today unto forever,
Awaken till the fear is gone

Million voices sing in Unison,
"We were never lost."
Expanding souls will live forever,
Awaken until our turn has come
Million Voice sing in Unison
"There is no one lost"
From today unto forever,
Awaken till the fear is gone

Million voices sing in Unison,
"We were never lost."
Expanding souls will live forever,
Awaken until our turn has come
Million Voice sing in Unison
"There is no one lost"
From today unto forever,
Awaken till the fear is gone

Silence is golden
Is what you always told me
Never open up
To anyone unknown
These ever growing secrets
Lay hidden in my soul
Festering and growing
Into boils of secrecy

Silence is sacred
Is what you always taught me
Never speak a word
Of what you really feel
The more they know of you
The more they will betray you
And slowly but surely
They will control your mind

I'm growing tired of secrets
Burning in my heart
I'm longing for disclosure
And a brand new start
No more lies and secrets
Burning in my soul
No more stealth and silence
I am in control

When the lies are gone
And secrets have disappeared
There will be no-one left
Hiding from ourselves

We go forward…

No word is left unspoken
Until we reach the final stage
Where our vision gets more clear
And our thoughts are made real
The point of no return
Has been passed so along ago
All exits have been cancelled
There's just one way to go

We go forward…

Forward, we go forward
To see what lies behind
Our endless dreams of progress
Will be our guiding light
Forward, we go forward
To see what lies behind
The never-ending countless stars
Never seems so bright

We go forward…

No deed is left undone
Until we reach the final goal
Where we create our heaven on earth
By our thoughts that are pure
In time we'll learn to see
What was right and what was wrong
For now we cannot stop
There's just one way to go

We go forward…

Majestic oceans stretch before you
Clouds of grey run through the skies
All hands have abandoned ship
No one left to take the helm
You stand proud in pouring rain
Facing the raging gales
As the ship is making water
You set course to foreign shores

And suddenly, you will let go
What happens if you lose control
Will you go down with your ship?
Must you fight the waves?
Take a deep breath
And close your eyes
Take a deep breath
And close your eyes

No one knows you're still here
On this vessel of impermanence
As it goes into the waves
You shall never falter
The sails ripped apart
Sinking into the water
Damaged beyond repair
And no land in sight

And suddenly, you will let go
What happens if you lose control
Will you go down with your ship?
Must you fight the waves?
Take a deep breath
And close your eyes
Take a deep breath
And close your eyes

I can show you all the colours of the world
Tell you stories of wonder and joy
I'll show you mountains for you to climb
And why people cry and make love

I could tell you how to live your life
Protect you from pain and harm
I want you to decide who and what you are
Create your own world

Heaven and earth and in between
Are yours forever as you will see
Step outside and spread your light

And if you ever go astray
Have no fear and make your way
Live like it's now or never
You'll walk on stars forever

Heaven and earth and in between
Are yours forever as you will see
Step outside and spread your light

And if you ever go astray
Have no fear and make your way
Live like it's now or never
You'll walk on stars forever

When all is said and all is done
I step aside and carry on
Nothing to fear, no feelings left
nothing to prove, silence remains

In the light of darkness I'll find my way
I've shed my sorrow at least for today

I have never felt so strong
Life is rushing through my veins
With my heart and mind aligned
I can stand the test of time
I have never felt so proud
of what I feel and what I am
When life brings me to my knees
nothing will ever get me down

Now I can feel the hurt is gone
New found ground is to be won
I've moved from pain to wonder
I've kissed my scars to infinity

In the light of darkness I'll find my way
I've shed my sorrow at least for today

We're all on our way to something we don't know
We can't see, don't comprehend
We're blind to see the mysteries
That lie behind the unknown things in life

From childhood we grow into a body
We don't really understand
Changed emotions and altered visions
Should make us fit in society

Alone we travel through life
Our destination unknown
Will we ever learn to make it on our own
We reach for distant lights
We're travellers of life

Aware of frustration, we seek for pleasure
Sex and death dwell on the streets
Unable to satisfy our religion
We gaze at the stars, fall on our knees

Happy faces all around us
Senseless smiles are everywhere
We're just travellers of life
But no one really seems to care

When I opened my eyes
As windows to my soul
I saw the grand illusion
That consumed me whole
Awakened with the memory
That everything shall pass
I'm honoured to be here

I have waited for so long
For my mind to be at peace
For my heart to be so strong
I will rise and stand the test of time
I'll never be alone

When I opened my heart
As a compass to my soul
Nevermore I feared
To crash upon the shore
Awakened with the memory
That everything shall pass
I've chosen to be here

Absolute faith in technology
Science, the new religion
Temples filled with hardware
Men in white and no vision
Concrete jungles fill the globe
Economy, the main obsession
Cities turned into ashes
Men in grey and no opinion

Come with me
Escape this reality
Come flee with me
Away from insanity

Passive people in the streets
Indifference, the new disease
Hands covered with blood
Men in green and no compassion
Watchful children skill their mind
Wisdom, the new ambition
Worlds transform into brighter light
Men with full perception

Centuries of wisdom are buried in the sand
And eons of progress lost in time
Books tell the stories of how it began
But we've seen the future arriving

No one remembers
No one remembers who we are

As we stand on the mountains and reach for the stars
We are blinded by our illusions
Whatever we want will not be enough
We've silenced our inner guidance

Do you remember who you are?
Do you remember you and me?
Do you remember what we were?
Do you know why you are here?

The storms never-ending erasing the earth
Cleansing the air of all lies we have told
Structures we've built will be razed overnight
And we've seen history repeating

No one remembers
No one remembers what we have done

As we pray to the heavens, lament our demise
Ignoring the voices within
Telling us this is just what we are
We rise and fall like the seasons
