This is your world
These are your people
You can live for yourself today,
or help build tomorrow for everyone

Das ist deine Welt
Das sind deine Mitmenschen
Du kannst heute für dich leben,
Oder für alle die Zukunft von morgen aufbauen

C'est ton monde
Ce sont tes gens
Aujourd'hui tu pourrais penser qu'à toi,
ou aider à construire un lendemain pour tous

I asked myself was I content,
with the world that I once cherished?
Did it bring me to this darkened place
to contemplate my perfect future?
I will not stand nor utter words against this tide of hate
Losing sight of what and who I was again

I'm so sorry if these seething words I say
Impress on you
That I've become the anathema of my soul

I can't say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world,
But I know where this is leading me
Please
No tears
No sympathy

I can't say that you're losing me
But I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears
No sympathy

Gracefully
Respectfully
Facing conflict deep inside myself
But here confined
Losing control of what I could not change

Gracefully
Respectfully
I ask you "Please don't worry"
Not for me
Don't turn your back
Don't turn away

I can't say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
But I know where this is leading
Please
No tears
No sympathy

I can't say that you're losing me
But I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears
No sympathy

No tears for me, no sympathy
No tears for me, no sympathy

I thought the future held
a perfect place for us
That together we would learn to be
the best that we could be
In my naivety I ran
I fell and lost my way
Somehow I always end up falling over me

And one day
I woke to find
The future had no place
for me
I was unwanted in a world
that with my hands I helped build
Where once was honesty and pride
I now stand broken and alone
Just a shadow
of what I was meant to be

They say that "Time will heal"
"The truth shall set us free"
Well that depends
on what it is
that you choose to believe
In this prison made of lies
We see what it is we want to see
And find comfort in this
broken hall of dreams

Does anybody feel
the way I do?
Is there anybody out there?
Are you hearing me?

If I believe in you
Will you believe in me?
Or am I alone
in this hall of dreams?

I'll believe in you,
if you believe in me
But I have no trust
in anything
Somehow I'm always
always falling over me

Somehow I'm always
I'm always falling over me

A million points of light
Ascending to the sky
Monuments in darkness
Standing watch until the sun will rise

Screaming to an emptiness
How we deified ourselves
With our hands over our eyes
Claiming all of creation

What inspires in us this madness
That our existence should be defined
By a light that can't be seen by anyone?

What inspires in us this madness
That our existence should be defined
By a light that we can't see
The light that can't be seen

A million points of light
Ascending to the sky
Monuments in darkness
Standing watch until the sun will rise

I can't see this all as progress
How did we come this far?
When we see ourselves as deities
Claim nature for ourselves

By our actions we betray
The instincts in our race
By our blindness and stupidity
We kill everything, we kill everything

Can someone see our self destruction?
Are we reminding ourselves
That our existence is so delicate
That without this light we are no more
That without this light we've made we are no more

A million points of light
Ascending to the sky
Monuments in darkness
Standing watch until the sun will rise

We torch the earth until it bleeds
Rain ashes from the sky
Just to make a light that no one can see

We cut the earth until it bleeds
Rain ashes from the sky
Just to make a light that no-one can see
Just to make a light, just to make a light
We kill everything
By our blindness and stupidity
We kill everything

In ten thousand years, what will be our legacy?
A million lights that no one can see
A million points of light

"We are now approaching lunar sunrise, and, uh, for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you
God created the heaven and the earth
And God said,
And God said, Let there be light

God saw the light, that it was good
God saw the light, that it was good
And God said, Let there be light"

Breathing an air
Permeated, soaked in darkness
Emanating from within
Resonating like a scream no one can hear

I wear this chaos well
Though none should save me
Desperation keeps me here
My need for innocence
The place where I began
The abyss becomes me
I wear this chaos well

Are these not words of heresy,
A venom on my lips, a poison?
My spirit impurified
In everything I choose to say

"And God said, Let there be light"

With you, I stand in hope
That God will save us from ourselves
Every cry a wasted moment
Until another day is lost
Even lands we once called home
Lie undiscovered and unknown
Only Heaven's silence for an answer
And did our laughter, did our tears
Have some purpose after all?
Did we toil in vain, in hope
That wisdom came from what we'd done?
Even lands we once called home
Lie undiscovered and unknown
Only Heaven's silence for an answer

(Undiscovered and unknown)

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light
And God saw the light, that it was good:
And God divided the light from the darkness

God created the heaven and the earth
And God saw the light, that it was good:
And God said, Let there be light"

Are these not words of heresy,
A venom on my lips, a poison?
My spirit impurified
In everything I choose to say

If I would shed my skin, the layers left
But not the lessons learned
It would not undo what I have done
Or grant forgiveness in some better days

With you, I stand in hope
That God will save us from ourselves
Every cry a wasted moment
Until another day is lost
Even lands we once called home
Lie undiscovered and unknown
Only Heaven's silence for an answer
And did our laughter, did our tears
Have some purpose after all?
Did we toil in vain, in hope
That wisdom came from what we'd done?
Even lands we once called home
Lie undiscovered and unknown
Only Heaven's silence for an answer

So many little things followed me
So many little things that bothered me But I found my answer
From all the chaos that followed me I have found my answer
I've told you before don't follow me because I am not your answer

I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
These are the words I say to myself everyday
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
Tell me what ritual I should have today
But I'm not alone. I've resolved so many things and set myself free

I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
The words I say to myself every day
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
Such a stupid ritual to have to say to myself everyday
I'm not alone but I found my answer and set myself free. I'm not unhappy

I'm not alone and I'm not unhappy
Not alone and I'm not unhappy
I'm not afraid and I'm not unhappy

I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid
I am not alone. I am not afraid. I am not unhappy
These are the words I say to myself everyday
I am not alone. I am not afraid. I am not unhappy. I'm not afraid

I am not alone. I am not afraid. I'm not unhappy
The words I say to myself everyday
I am not alone. I am not afraid. I am not unhappy
Such a stupid ritual to have to say to myself everyday
I'm not alone but I found my answer and set myself free. I'm not unhappy

It's colder than before
The seasons took all they had come for
Now winter dances here
It seems so fitting, don't you think?
To dress the ground in white and grey

It's so quiet I can hear
My thoughts touching every second
That I spent waiting for you
Circumstances afford me
No second chance to tell you
How much I've missed you

My beloved, do you know
When the warm wind comes again
Another year will start to pass
And please don't ask me why I'm here
Something deeper brought me
Than a need to remember

We were once young and blessed with wings
No heights could keep us from their reach
No sacred place we did not soar
Still greater things burned within us
I don't regret the choices that I've made
I know you feel the same

My beloved, do you know
How many times I stared at clouds
Thinking that I saw you there
These are feelings that do not pass so easily
I can't forget what we claimed was ours

Moments lost, though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits

I pressed my face against the glass,
smiled as my breath made some pattern or other
The world beneath unfurled before me like a sail,
glinted in gold from this rich dawn sky
Awaiting the ship they had told me would come,
quietly anticipating that which was to come

I couldn't yet see you. Still obscured by the city
A towers of glass reflected your coming
Silhouetted on the sunrise
Did I blink as I watched? Did I close my eyes?

I was not alone, I think it was the first time
Watching you rise splendid and graceful,
I cheered as you sailed, a greatness unknown
I laughed as I waved and imagined you saw me
In the streets of the city, the windows of buildings,
a million faces gazing upwards in wonder
A million faces together and cheering and smiling
You were the warmth of their hearts, you were the sum of their dreams
In the coldness of morning you brought warmth to their lives
giving this feeling of wonder I could not imagine
You unlocking these thoughts no book and no picture could ever convey
This feeling and morning had opened a door
I stepped into a new world I watched you fly
Saw you as a friend, the spirit of dreams
I imagined a new world, lands far away,
imagined those faces as you hung in their sky

I'm leaving ground stepping into a new world
I'm leaving ground, a new world. And watching you fly
I stepped into, I stepped into a new world
I was not alone, I think it was the first time

I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
Now I'm leaving home, leaving everything
I step into this new world leaving everything

I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
Now I'm leaving home, leaving everything that I have ever known
I step into this new world leaving everything

Leaving everything, leaving everything
