ODESSA & LILLIAN:
Magnetic whispers circling, surrounding the void
-Dancing, listening. hearing the compelling-
Standing by the trench, balancing and paranoid
-Sound and drawn to the unavoidable...-
Be careful not to fall over the edge into
-Falling deeper into the madness-
The grandeur of stillness, unbearable lightness calls,
-Following further, soon to be pushed over-
CHOIR:
And as we are staring down into the abyss,
Shattering in front of the grandness
Only moments before we crumble down
From ashes we have risen,
ashes we become - to dust
ODESSA & LILLIAN:
Sailing on the seas of fears, troubles and turmoil
-With these waves we keep on riding-
Feeling the burden, the weight, we're weeping, all torn
-by guilt, suffocate with the lies we're fed-
Till the day when we will shuffle off this mortal coil
-Battling against each other and ourselves-
And become one with the emptiness, sleep that we can't avoid
-Belong together with the eternal stream-
PATRICK, ODESSA & LILLIAN:
Helpless, suppressed, in such distress
Ascared, apart, so unsure of the path
The march goes on towards the wide - void.
March on! Whereas we should be
fighting the monsters, liars, impostors,
And finding a way that all of us may learn to
know thy enemy, finding the remedy,
Forgiveness, awareness, the goodness and the light
CHOIR:
Staring down into the abyss,
Shattering in front of the grandness
only moments before we crumble down
From ashes we have risen,
ashes we become - to dust
THE AVIATOR:
When they have removed the veils of illusion and deception,
they think they have done enough
But this negative audacity leaves us still faced by an enigma,
for the truth itself is ambiguity, abyss, mystery:
Once stated, it must be thoughtfully reconsidered, recreated. ...
We are still too preoccupied with clearly seeing the facts to try to penetrate the shadows beyond that illuminated circle.
CHOIR:
In times of fear and uncertainty,
When all is lost on the battlefield
Caught in the fight, the multiple lies,
Holding on for dear life
Lost in that stare, complete despair
Keep on gasping for some air
Hold on very tight to the last ray of light
Until fear will be all gone (be gone, all gone)
- until all will be gone
LILLIAN:
Until all is gone
