Part 1: The Last Survivors

music: Marek Arnold, Martin Schnella

lyrics: Martin Schnella

The Human:

We're all endangerd

Hiding from the daylight

What is their intention?

Never mentioned

Led by illusions The Psyche: help me out

Evil devolution fear and doubt

Backed by our memories

We are the last survivors

We hold the line until the end

Part 2: No Way Out

music: Martin Schnella

lyrics: Anja Hampe, Martin Schnella, Anne Trautmann

Piper: There's no time to lose

John: Try to escape

Piper: This place is worse to choose

John: Don't be afraid we will find a way out

The Sleeper:

Beware of the sleeper

Scared of the keeper

Sent by the magistrate to collect your souls

Piper: Do you hear the noise?

What does this mean?

John: We have to make a choice

Open The Door

Piper: What have they done

To you my friend?

Ethan:

Now, it's too late

There is no chance to keep me from fate

Sleeper:

Remind the warning

Last chapter's closing

There is no chance

You won't find a way out

Ethan:

I brought their aim to light

Piper/John:

Tell us the truth!

John:

Danger's deep inside

Ethan:

As long as you can you should find the way out

Part 3: Captured

music: Marek Arnold, Martin Schnella

lyrics: Martin Schnella, Anja Hampe, Anne Trautmann

The Psyche

Loneley and painful

He is losing his soul

Taken by the sleeper

Dreadful Keeper

Lonley and painful

He's losing his soul

Taken by the sleeper

Dreadful Keeper

Longing for daylight

(kurze Pause) Captured inside

We have to seek shelter

Before they take posession of our souls

Part 4: Confused

music: Martin Schnella

lyrics: Martin Schnella, Anja Hampe, Anne Trautmann

Guitar Solos: Martin Schnella

The Eye

Lasting for hours they get lost in this maze

Surrounded by illiusions created by the magistrate

Being exhausted they are taking a break

And when John closes his eyes, the sleeper awakes

The Sleeper

Are you surprised? Things ain't always what they seem

They will never let you go, you'd better rot in hell

The Eye

As the sleeper turns away, lordly, without esteem

John's wearing him down with a rebell yell

John:

Is it me? What's happening here?

The Clairvoyant:

The sleeper is passing away

But John realizes he's starting to change

Staring afraid face to face at this sinister place

A young and a frightened man

His own ego appears of former days

Is it the truth or just a mad game to play?

John:

My fears, emotions, sorrows and pain

Ha! All right! Who knows them better than me?

But did I kill myself or am I going insane?

Now I have to revoke to fulfill my need

Piper:

John what's the problem? We've got to get out

Your illusions mislead you, without any doubt!

The Eye

With a kick in his face she knocks him out

Piper:

I'm so sorry but I have no choice!

Piper:

Sunlight and wind on my skin

There's no time to lose, we have to move on

The Uprising District, our aim, within our reach

I'm sorry, but I had no choice

To save you from worse, so now hear my voice

Escaping the solar storm! Let's get in the fort!

Guitar Solo: Gary Wehrkamp

The Sleeper :

You made a dash for freedom but you won't go very far

I will hunt and catch you! We will win this war!

I will penetrate your mind to capture your soul

While you're breaking down I will reach my goal

The Eye:

You have to fight for freedom only a few survived

They won't spare no effort to take control of your mind

The division of powers, the virtual sovereign

The minders, the confidants and the mighty magistrate

The Sleeper

Do you think you will make it? I know you will fail!

The illusions are stronger there's no chance to prevail

You make me laugh!I am deeply impressed

In this world of betrayers, whom do you trust?

The Eye:

Beware of the sleeper he puts on human shape

Do not be deterred, they try to manage the human race

All you can do is to relieve you from pain

Don't fall for the mirage – Don't play their game!

Part 5: Noone Home Pt. 1

music: Marek Arnold, Martin Schnella

lyrics: Martin Schnella, Anja Hampe, Anne Trautmann

The Psyche

Lorn and deserted

...so uncertain

Where are all the people?

Come and spread the truth to warn them all

The Psyche & The Eye:

Reckless and painful

They will take all our souls

Hunted by the sleeper

Dreadful keeper

Lorn and deserted

...so uncertain

Where are all the people?

Come and spread the truth to warn them all

Colonel Abraham:

Piper, John …. You're back

I've been expecting you!
