Haken - Visions lyrics

"What is life? An illusion, a shadow
A story and the greatest
Good is little enough, for all
Life is a dream
And dreams themselves are only dreams"

"We all have some experience of a
Feeling, that comes over us occasionally, of
What we are saying and doing having
Been said and done before, in a remote
Time - of our having been surrounded, dim
Ages ago, by the same faces
Objects and circumstances - of our knowing
Perfectly what will be said next
As if we suddenly remembered it"

Oh, spirit's of the night
Communicate with me
Their visions of a future
Of what is yet to be

As I see the way I die
And I try to change it
I am running short of time
I'll just sit here waiting

'Til the moment comes around
Like I've been here once before
And I'm questioning the truth
No escaping déjà vu

"There is a drowsy state
Between sleeping and waking, when you
Dream more in five minutes with
Your eyes half open, and
Yourself half conscious of everything that
Is passing around you, than
You would in five nights with
Your eyes fast closed, and your senses wrapt
In perfect unconsciousness"

"Dreams are real
While they last can we say more of life?"

If I could harness this power
Assume absolute control
Of my visions from a future
No one will ever know

That I've seen the day you die
And I tried to change it
You are running short of time
You'll just sit there waiting

'Til the moment comes around
Like you've been there once before
And you're questioning the truth
No escaping déjà vu

'Til the moment comes around
Like you've been there once before
And there's nothing left to lose
No escaping déjà vu

Faces become strangely familiar
Stumbling upon traces of my visions

Now I see a shadow of a man
In my silhouette he stands
The wisdom of my premonition comes to life!
I was just a kid back then
But now I'm back to take revenge!
I sternly look my killer in the eye

I'm out for satisfaction
When I'm suddenly distracted
By the silent cries that echo in the streets
My finger pulls the trigger
With my whole life left to figure
If the boy I accidentally killed was me

Voices become strangely deceiving
Gravity's pull has zero effect on me

Now the moment's finally here
And it feels just like before
Only now I face the truth
I will have to wait no more

Will this never end?
I've been through enough
This is the part where I wake up
With blood on my hands
Traveling back to where it all began

As for the boy it please, d me to know
That he'll just wake up nine years old
Alone and afraid he'll live for the day this
Moment comes around again

Now the moment's finally here
And it feels just like before
Even now I know the truth
I accept my fate no more

I bet you don't remember me
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
When there is nowhere left to roam

I bet you don't remember me
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
When there is nowhere left to roam (Ha ha)

I bet you don't remember me
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
When there is nowhere left to roam (Ah)

I bet you don't remember me
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
When there is nowhere left to roam

I bet you don't remember me
(Scenes from someone else's lifetime)
From the beginning
I never dreamt I was the killer
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
(Flash like bright lights before my eyes)
When there is nowhere left to roam

I bet you don't remember me
(Scenes from someone else's lifetime)
From the beginning
I never dreamt I was the killer
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
(Flash like bright lights before my eyes)
When there is nowhere left to roam

Over the edge i bet you don't remember me
(Scenes from someone else's lifetime)
From the beginning
I never dreamt I was the killer
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
(Flash like bright lights before my eyes)
When there is nowhere left to roam

Falling in and out of time
I bet you don't remember me
(Scenes from someone else's lifetime)
From the beginning
I never dreamt I was the killer
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
(Flash like bright lights in my eyes)
When there is nowhere left to roam

Yeah, the moment passed us by
And it felt just like before
As I leave this world behind
I know I'll come back for more
