Xandria, Joost van der Broek, Henning Basse - A Theater of Dimensions lyrics

Father, oh father you told me to see
The world with my eyes and not just believe
So I was learning from the old books
The wisdom of a time that no-one know

I’ve seen our freedom in the mist of time
The old signs I’ll follow for the day
Of relief will be yours and mine

Mother, oh mother you told me to go
Where the sun will lead me away from the snow
I have turned for a last goodbye
Now I do know it’s my fate to try

I’ve seen our freedom in the mist of time
The old signs I’ll follow and the day
Of relief will be yours and mine

For years I have been searching
To find the missing blueprint
In corners of my mindscape
Deep inside those shades

The answers are a secret
Forbidden by the black kings
They keep us in this prison
Slavery is our fate in the dark I can see
What nobody else can see
Oh this world is a cage
How can we all ever be saved?

I’m making my contraption
A strange machine construction
Einstein to Hawking see me
Watch me build your dream

This device makes me go
Where nobody else could go
To the past, to warn you all
So the sword can never fall

(Fly! Fly away, fly away
Fly away to the days)
(To the days, to the days, to
The days in the haze
To the days – in the haze of time)
(We all will be together again)
(Fly! Fly away, fly away
Fly away to the days)
(To the days, to the days, to
The days in the haze
To the days – in the haze of time)
(Laying our hands on the uncertain)

()

I’ll change the world for you
(We all will be together again)
Flying through space and time
(Laying my hands on the uncertain)
"How fragile were your childish dreams
Ignorance, ha! It suit's you well
No ray of light shall accompany you
For it is darkness, in which you dwell"

All stars falling down

Such gold, such green, gleeful they gather
Stirring the sky like I’ve never seen
An emerald bee tingles my brow
Until it dissolves into a puny sea
Hear the hollow willow, hear!
Like a miser weep like leviathan shrieks
I fear – my delirium’s here
– it’s here and now!

Are there monsters out to get me?
Who will tame or heed their growls?
Who is mocking me, who dares to?
Show your face, come forth now!

This new world you found might seem unreal
Who is mocking me, who dares to?
Mirror to your mind and to your soul
Show your face, come forth now!
(We will abduct your senses forever)
(We will lead you into your dark night)
(You will give in to all
The drugs served here)
(You will feel like you are dreaming)

Slowly you’ll forget where you came from
No power left to stay strong

"Yes, it’s true now you are my creature
A puppet in my theater of dimensions
The key that will unlock the
Entire universe to me!
Soon you will do all my bidding
And you will be unable to
Escape this waking nightmare! Ha ha ha ha-"

I’ll take you down with me
And I will steal your memories
You’ll never be released
And you will never live in peace

You came here you fool
And now you will serve as my tool
My demons will haunt you
And I will use your powers soon

Laughters rises from the darkness
Whispers from a smiling carcass
Creatures of your childish nightmares
Grab you with their rotten fingers

Monsters and ghosts dance with
You in a labyrinth
Demons and clowns laughing loud
While you’re suffering
Witches delude you with their dark sorcery
Taking you down into hell’s fiery kitchen

Fear, only fear fear is everywhere

We can see your strength is fading
In your mind, a last chance waiting
You will turn your demons back on him

I can see my strength is fading
In my mind, a last chance waiting
I will turn my demons back on you

So you want to fight
Yes, I will free my mind no, you cannot win
Ha ha ha! I’m not going to give in

What is happening?
Now your creatures are with me
Oh what have you done?
Now it’s you has to run!

Oh world, bright abyss, let us reminisce
Come dawn’s warm embrace, all hearts will be
Sanctified, saved and whole
Turned away from evil’s toll
To free the world from it's cage
Lay me down into my grave

(Fly! Fly away, fly away
Fly away to the days)
(To the days, to the days
To the days in the haze)
(To the days – in the haze of time)
(Wish we could be together again)

(Fly! Fly away, fly away
Fly away to the days)
(To the days, to the days
To the days in the haze)
(To the days – in the haze of time)
(Caged in this parallel dimension)

I changed the world for you
(Wish we could be together again)
Flying through space and time
(Caged in this parallel dimension)

Who dared to mock me? Oh!
I stood my ground, fierce and proud!
Oh let me living die!
The dark’s defied, the time is nigh!
Till death does come, till death does come!

Children, oh children, when you’ll be born
Your world will be no longer torn
I will watch you from afar
Down on our little blue star

And you’ll see your freedom in
The mist of time the old signs you’ll follow
For the day of relief will be yours and mine
Finally it’s yours and mine
