1 In the name of
New born child, monument of innocence Tabula Rasa, no trace of any god Soon it will learn all the myths of its people Soon it will learn who to love and who to hate (Who to hate)
Growing up, learns to kneel and pray Baptized and raised in the name of the lord Soon it will learn how to fight for its people Soon it will learn how to fight and how to hate (How to hate)
Go retrieve the promised land once lost Crusaders cross all borders, spread the word (The holy word) A holy god destroys their temples, steals their fate Cause they’ve listened to the wrong gods for too long (Way too long)
Allah is the mighty god and we are the chosen ones This is our promised land, so go! God bless my country and my war, that is what we’re fighting for You know we are the chosen ones, so go! Allah is the mighty god and we are the chosen ones Bless my country and my war, that’s what we are fighting for
Let me go, take a breath, your truth not mine Wanting love, need no lies, let me speak out and be like a child Let us all, live in peace, and set aside, the years of pain Real love, start us to praise, all one on earth, let’s keep that in mind Ohh oh ohhhh ohh ohhhh oh ohhhhh
-- Narration --- There’s a football game on the tele. Little men in uniform sinking on their knees to pray to their god. The shirts are red, the trousers white. On the other side of the same field, same sort little man with long socks, blue shirts and black shorts are kneeling for their lord. All 22 men are praying to the same god to help them win this game. If this god exists, if this god cares about football and if this god has nothing better to do with his time. If indeed he has nothing better to do than to watch this game and make some legs run a little faster, make some feet kick a little harder and make the goalkeeper’s arms stretch a little longer so he can get a hold of more balls, than I ask you this question: How does this god decide? Which team to unite? How does he choose? The ones who pray loudest? The ones that pray more in this example? The ones who are ready to die for their god? Silly, isn’t it? People walk and talk and play football in the name of their god. People suffer and kill in the name of their god. People live and die in the name of their god…
People are good at ignoring first to take blame It's hard to believe it is not justice of faith Don't keep on playing pretend, no You pretend in the name of Hide and seek in the name of your God
(Lyrics: Mirella van Leeuwen) | 2 Flashback
Is this an illusion? A fantasy? Or is my mind just playing tricks with me? It seems this happened to me before An image in my head I can’t ignore
The mayhem around me, the closing gate Frustrations growing as I am too late So why have my instincts abandoned me I’m not as sharp as I am used to be
Bridge: Be with me, I wish you’d hear my cry (Will you be here, How do you feel What do you need, Can't see you bleed) I'm afraid, can I just close my eyes? (Don't break your vow, don't close your eyes now)
Chorus: As the dusk is arriving, can’t fight my memory (Dusk arriving, can’t fight my memory) With the darkness surrounding, too dark to see (Dark surroundings, too dark to see) Untill dawn we’ll be struggling as with a felony (Dawn, be struggling, as with a felony) Master plan, as it comes out, it’s killing me (Plan, it comes out, it’s killing me)
I’m out in the open, fully exposed This vulnerability I hate the most Got nothing to worry, nothing to hide It’s as if you can see me from inside
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus

Repeat Bridge
So is this a nightmare, is it my life? I guess there’s no one there to tell me why I am a stranger, I feel alone Don't leave me here as I don't know what's going on
Repeat Chorus Repeat Chorus
(Lyrics: Maarten Heeringa) | 3 Clockwise
Plenty of time Got time on my side Now is the moment, I am ready for my ride The first in line Last of Mohicans The fastest of furies cut the magic of time
Always too early Never late Hours can wait Always too early Never late Why make me wait
(Tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc) - Keep on ticking (Tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc) - Time is running out
Time paves the road The road to get closer A quantity shifts towards the next tomorrow
What is the use To live in the future Hours to come may pass me by forever The first in line The last of Mohicans The fastest of furies cut the magic of time
(Tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc) - Keep on ticking (Tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc) - Time is running out
Where should I go? What is my purpose? Is that called my destiny?
---- Instrumental break ----
Where do I go? What is my purpose? Is that what they call your destiny or something?
Time paves the road The road to get closer Is it just a blueprint of my past or is it my present that reflects my future that can’t stop me wondering what I’ve become!
(Lyrics: Maarten Heeringa) |
4 Just a man
'I'm just a man' That's what you say, oh when you lie to me But you're half of it That's the part that I can see
How can you wake up With that weight you carry on your back? You say “It's okey, no worries” Then another heart attack
You know me well, it's not a lie So why are you running away from my side?
Why, oh why this selfishness? Show me mercy, please, show me regret You’d better keep your mouth shut, block that twisted mind You should know that you’re a psychopath
Excuse me sir: are we over now? You look so sweet but you drag me down
What is it you see each day? When you look into the mirror’s face? Why is it I see a different side of you, Images I wish I could erase?
You say you're just a man – just a simple man Wondering what to do with life – oh You wrote a song where you say you're selfish, cold as ice – cold as ice and that's the easiest way to not face reality as it is – uh So why is it that bad to love? – love You've got the proof: i'm still into you...
--- Instrumental break ---
What is it you see each day When you look into the mirror’s face? Nothing fancy’s ever coming back to you Cannot wait to meet the one to take my place
Excuse me sir: are we over now? Should I give up or freak you out?
(Lyrics: Laura Martìnez & Maarten Heeringa) | 5 Flight from Terra
All races finally united A few of each: men, women, child On our way to some place new These new chances, a new life
We’re leaving, destroyed homelands Empty dead oceans, polluted seas The earth survived millennia, millennia without mankind But mankind took a minute and ruined it all We went and left no life behind Doesn’t she seem small?
Chorus: Now we’re on a Flight from Terra On a search for fertile land The future’s in our captain's hands Brutal sun burns down the sky The water raced above our heads
Hope, faith, new earth
Search between the stars, between planets The world’s children sought under the sun Another world, another chance to Live your life and make the same mistakes again
Repeat chorus
--- instrumental break ---
Off voice: The brutal sun burns down our sky The water raised way above our heads Do you really expect someone else to make it right Are you ready for take-off, now?
We’re leaving destroyed home lands Empty dead oceans and polluted seas The earth survived millennia, millennia without mankind But mankind took a minute and ruined it all We went and left no life behind Doesn’t she seem small?
Now we’re on a Flight from Terra On a search for fertile land The future’s in our captain's hands
(Lyrics: Mirella van Leeuwen) | 6 Final chaos
What - what are you thinking Or - have you been drinking While - spewing your filthy stuff How – did you acquire Your – status as a liar Now - now you're a big hot shot
What's in your head Are you braindead How did you get that
Chaos - In your head Chaos - Schizophrenic
Mind - mind over matter Thoughts - that have been shattered Think - you are the messiah Don't - see your narcistic Or - plain egoistic Sure - megalomania
What's in your head - Are you braindead How did you get that sad What's in your head - Are you braindead How did you get that
Chaos – Final Chaos In your head – Chaos Schizophrenic mind, wasting my time With verbal crime, can't stand to look at
(Your face - disgrace – replace) (Erase) - the tacit borders of (Of grace) - take advantage of the rat (Rat race) - no one is awaiting your (Embrace) - subvert events that will take (Take place) - things you say are just a dis (Disgrace) - want to tell it to your (Your face) - pollutes the image of the world
--- Instrumental break ---
Chaos, in your head it's A final chaos, in your braindead mind A schizophrenic psycho
Chaos - final chaos - final chaos - final chaos - final Chaos in your twisted head Spreading the words you once said Pretending you are Jesus Christ
Words that come out with your breath Wishing you were living death That can't be much of a surprise
What's in your head - Are you braindead Why is it you are that bad What's in your head - Are you braindead Did you inherit that
Chaos - In your Mind, wasting my Time, with verbal Crime, can't stand Retorical speeches that Sprout from your Mind, with verbal Crime, wasting my Time, I’m not that blind

7 Puppet on a string
I come to you in the middle of the night You toss and turn, you feel I’m there I slowly enter, look around, I’m hiding in your mind Awaiting my time
Beware of your dreams Watch your mind, who you are and what you are thinking of They say all thoughts are save and free But I’m a great guesser, you see
I whisper in your ear with softly voices, need you to do these special things You’ve lost your will, you have no choices You’re a puppet on my string
--- Instrumental break ---
You’re down below and fighting, paralysed and scared to death In the dungeons of your soul I am up here, I’m very frightening You are under my control
Beware of your dreams, for they might one day come true Watch your mind, who you are thinking of They say all thoughts are save and free But I’m a great guesser, you see
Take care of all my dreams, my dear, so one day they’ll come true Please, read my mind and sense my soul, take control To my inner self, my mind , you hold the key My thoughts, my love, all for free
(Lyrics: Mirella van Leeuwen) | 8 Odd to get even
Friend: Did you like what you did today? Could it be wrong or is it OK? Did he cheat on you? Were you honest too? Have you been untrue?
Long before you realized (Ex: Took some time for me to realize) Did he get you hypnotized (That this woman got me hypnotized) Was his love that made your head (She was clearly getting in my head) Running over, make you mad (Tryin' to run me over, make me mad)
In that magic night, did you feel alright Set your soul alight Promised paradise, you paid a heavy price Left you just with lies
Never thought he could be so mean Evil has a face now you’ve seen Sad to say he won't regret his sheer
Lies, prevaricate, deceit (Tell your fuckin' lies don't let me drown in your deceit) Waste, bereavement and defeat (I won't waste my time because I notice when you cheat) Lies, prevaricate, deceit (Tell your fuckin' lies don't make me drown in your deceit) Waste, bereavement and defeat (Tired of all your stories and your greed)
Me: Let me get this sorted out Payback time away from the crowd Making plans nobody knows Fierce revenge, anything goes Quentin style, over the top Rocking hard, until you drop Making up, just like before Compromise, not anymore
Sense the hurt, what does it take Feel the pain, everything's fake Then why should you bother When you run into another guy Revenge is soon forgotten You will be the same girl as before
---- Instrumental break ----
Friend: In that magic night, did you feel alright Set your soul alight
Long before you realize (Took some time for me to – I won’t waste my time because I notice when you cheat) He won’t get you hypnotized (That this woman got me - Tired of all your stories and of all your fantasies) None will make you lose your head (Tell your fuckin' lies don't make me drown in your deceit - in my head) Doing things you might regret (Tired of all your stories, all your fantasies and greed - Might regret)
Me: Compromise, ready to score Sensitive, just like before No more pain, what does it take Do you care whether it's fake Why on earth would you bother He is just like any other guy you've ever met Guy you'll ever get Guy out of your head A guy you will forget Guy that has managed to get in your bed
(Lyrics: Maarten Heeringa) | 9 Fragile (bonus track*)
Clouds sprinkle their juice on the highlands The ostrich fights his rivals to death Caves have been hiding their secrets for ages Visiting Ayers Rock must be contagious
(Aaaah)
Snow turns what you see into magic Sand dunes slowly crawling ahead Clouds of locusts are causing an eclipse Dropping their contents as seasons greetings
(Fragile) - it's a sensitive balance (Fragile) - has the decay begun (Fragile) - let us take some precautions (Fragile) - as there is only one (Fragile) - to assure the survival (Fragile) - of our delicate Earth How long should you keep sticking your head in the sand?
Mountains rise as majestic giants Dry land guzzles the river beds Leopards that search for food at an oasis Kalahari shows her rugged faces
Milford Sound revealing its beauty Endless salty deserts unfold Ozone protecting us from radiation Amazon forests the river behold
(Aaaah) (Fragile) - it's a sensitive balance (Fragile) - as there is only one (Fragile) - to assure the survival (Fragile) - has the decay begun (Fragile - Fragile - Fragile – Fragile)
(Fragile) - let us take some precautions (Fragile) - for our delicate Earth How long should you keep sticking your head in the sand?

(Fragile) - it's a sensitive balance (Fragile) - has the decay begun (Fragile) - let us take some precautions (Fragile) - as there is only one (Fragile) - to assure the survival (Fragile) - of our delicate Earth
Crocs will search for food in the city Leaving foxes ready to die The Mariana Trench pierces the ocean Deeper than Everest reaches the sky
Hanging curtains from the Aurora Tiny plankton feed giant whales Comets come barging in though not invited Lava erupts on a major scale
(Fragile) - it's a sensitive balance (Fragile) - has the decay begun (Fragile) - let us take some precautions (Fragile) - as there is only one (Fragile) - while the climate is changing (Fragile) - and the science moves on (Fragile) - such a specific problem (Fragile) - with a simple approach (Fragile) - to assure the survival (Fragile) - of our delicate Earth How long should it take to open up your eyes and see what’s going on?
