Pt. I “The Embrace of Folly” (Lyrics: Jaime Torres) Men, they tend to sleep If to awaken is worthless When the world is in a haze A landscape in black and white And above of all the noise The siren song of unreason is heard The rise of the charlatans And the sword hung above our heads This light I bring To those who sleep The poison that came with a kiss A light that dims The dreadful sight of the abyss We dance to melodies of clash and discord With lifeless eyes Fostering the great divide Putting our fate in mouths full of vermin We will eternally sing “long live the chains” This light I bring For those who tend to sleep This light I bring A folly to vindicate The call is in us all The longing to fall in the abyss And not a question asked We fade in silence Pt. II “The Fall” (Lyrics: Daniel R. Flys) I fade in silence A spectator of my own world A giant figure of doubt Whispering my downfall As I am beckoned to this realm of disconnect I feel the soothing caress of the wicked Lest I drown in loneliness I put my faith on trial To prove what it can say and what it can do My empty hand will no longer grasp For the time has come to leave this agony behind See as the lines and rifts become one See as the abyss becomes eternal See as the sky becomes immortal See as the stars appear emmantled I’ve crossed the line My final design A kingdom refined As reason ends I come alive I’ve crossed the line No longer divine At long last aligned I’ve made the abyss my home
2.
(Lyrics: Daniel R. Flys) We had too much to bear When held down to our knees Waves of misinformation washed away our dignity Their finger strings were as thin as the air we’re breathing Our sense of free will was banished into eternity Like moths to flames we attend to scarcity We fight a war of quantity over quality Confined inside the acts of our own delusion We live in the era of knowledge of our own destruction The fog dimming the sight of the ocean Has made me question my solitude They made us think that we were different Yet we all feel the same [Solo: Jaime Torres] Look through my eyes and see the disconnect Look through these eyes and feel the bitterness Of this new world Oh, brave new world And we were born again Into this brave new earth We ate and bred until our senses choked To nurture ourselves from our undying greed Some might say it was destiny But how could I have felt so alone With all these faces gazing back at me? I’ve lost sight of the things that matter most All in favor of this brave new world We had too much to bear When we did as they pleased A wave of fear obscured our sense of community Their finger strings were as sly as the colors running Our rationale was banished into eternity [Solo: Jaime Torres]
3.
(Lyrics: Jaime Torres) There was a road In which we walked alone and sore There was a maze Where we put our minds to rest There was a chasm between us And a fragile bridge we left to rot There was a wall A wall of blinding light [Solo 1: Jaime Torres] [Solo 2: Daniel R. Flys] With eyes turned within And sounds drowned in noise We were all there Stuck in the desert of the Same
4.
Last Refuge 10:00
(Lyrics: Daniel R. Flys) I’m done Building statues to deceive my inner child What I have grown to know is not what I seek What will I take to the grave if not an array of misbeliefs? All I have grown to show is not what’s at the core of me Shed away the skin Peel back all the layers of uncertainty Was it my view that changed? As I made my way through the fog I could see it as clear as day A collective vision turned to dust Shed away the skin Peel back all the layers of uncertainty And I look within A new face emerging back from the ashes All of my pillars have fallen But to rebuild I must first be broken And as I tear myself open I feel the walls crashing down How does one detach from this delusion? I move away from the silence A new awakening for the dormant mind The day meets the eye of the wanderer (Place your freedom inside a broken glass) As they hunt down the refugee (Leave your integrity hanging by a thread) The trails left by an entity Follow a different form of me And when I am to follow The motion of the wind I will scatter in pieces A conflict of destiny I gave my undivided attention To fulfill this dream But I realize after all this time It’s like holding on to smoke [Solo 1: Jaime Torres] [Solo 2: Daniel Maganto] Searching the way to the sea Seeking the way to inner peace I’ve been too blind to see

Eclipse 04:06
6.
(Lyrics: Jaime Torres) The day couldn’t find a semblance of respite Nor the mantle of light could bring the colors back The sight that met the eye, what the gaze revealed A lingering vastness, a land with no sound And amid this barren land, a tree Tall and proud, yet incomplete Its branches scratching aimlessly A shell hardened by time Roots that no longer know their ground Oblivious to the life that lies around When was then, the time it lost its grip? The moment when the eyes were turned within So deep, they never found their way out? The moment when the Other was cast out, To become a still life Yet left to die Now its domain is fading, It’s sinking in the grey No wind blows No breeze to feel The Silence. The Void. Memories that wither as they dwindle with the leaves Senses that are crippled as if trapped beneath the stones Memories that wither from an age left in the white Senses that are crippled as the soil enfolds all life The will to forget The will to dissolve The will to lift the weight of the world The quicksand below The graceless fall The embrace of the abyss The call of the void Upon the timeless hill it waits Engulfed in muteness and decay “Lightly, lightly a wind starts to blow. Lightly still, the wind goes away. And I don’t know what I think and have no wish to know”* *Adapted from Fernando Pessoa’s The Keeper of Sheep
7.
The Sleepers 06:27
(Lyrics: Daniel R. Flys) Sleep, sleep no more Fill the void I was in a dream The moment I saw everything in place I’ve been lingering to fiction To soothe the torment Amongst this noise If I could only listen To my inner voices For they’re not long gone I’ve only sent them to sleep And so I try to remain still To feel the breeze Once again against my skin To pierce the flesh I’ve conformed to evade my senses In the hope of a better guide So long it has been hidden inside Forlorn, the owl at night They say that we have gone astray The sleepers of our age Will I ever escape the dormant mind? So long it has been hidden inside Forlorn is the owl at night
8.
The Void 06:27
(Lyrics: Jaime Torres) We’re disengaged Struck by a deafening distance A sound that fades As we’re marching into the void And we long to reach one another But maybe it’s ourselves who we call Listening to the fine-tuned verses That ring true to us all Islands, scattered, Islands with no sea in between Too tired to awake, too vigilant to dream This apparent closeness is but an illusion This gapless distance, disguised as a lie Between us there still is The invisible mouth of the abyss And the dust left from our doubts keeps lingering In the air we breathe Tell me, if we could hear one another What we’d hear, would it be real? In the mind a mirror’s bending And dancing shades are traces for us to see And still we feel we’ve gone astray The sleepers of our age If we could ever escape the dormant mind And till we feel we’ve gone astray The sleepers of our age If we could ever escape the dorms of our minds
9.
(Lyrics: Jaime Torres) " And so the question, Where should we live? And how? Where to find a place to rest a while? And how bring even short-lived peace to our hearts?"* *Extract from “HOJOKI” Time spins the wheel The throbbing sound of history Insignificant or divine? Thoughts that we can barely grasp In a world that heals and maims Subtle and faint is the road we pave Raise a glass to a giant proud and strong Taste the wine as the walls crumble down Say a toast to the wavering passing light Raise a glass to a giant bound to fall.
