Lyrics of the songs in the album
(all lyrics except "Transiencies" written by DRAG

LAST DAY OF THE WORLD

The sky is dark and the air is still
The world is silent no birds to fill
The air with song no sound to hear
But the pounding of my heart with fear

I look around at the empty streets
No cars or people, no life to meet
The buildings stand but they are all alone
As if they're waiting someone to come home

This is the last day, the end of time
No second chances no more rewinds
The world is dying, the end is near
And I am here to face my fear

I close my eyes and take a breath
And try to find some peace in death
I know I'm not alone in this
For everyone to feel the kiss

This is the last day, the end of time
No second chances no more rewinds
The world is dying, the end is near
And I am here to face my fear

This is the last day, the end of time
No second chances no more rewinds
The world is dying, the end is near
And I am here to face my fear

REALITY SHOW

In a world of spin where facts don't win
Post-truth's the game it's all within
A narrative of fake it's hard to break
The echo chamber, you've all made a mistake

Deception is a dangerous road
Leading you far from what you know
Where lies are facts and you're on track
To a future bleak there's no going back

From social media feeds to the news you read
Deception is a cancer you must wean and feed
On truth and facts leave no cracks
You must rebuild and find a path that's stacked
That's stacked, that's stacked, that's stacked

In a world of spin where facts don't win
Post-truth's the game, it's all within
A narrative of fake and it's hard to break
The echo chamber, you've all made a mistake

Deception is a dangerous road
Leading you far from what you know
Where lies are facts and you're on track
To a future bleak, there's no going back

From social media feeds to the news you read
Deception is a cancer you must wean and feed
On truth and facts leave no cracks
You must rebuild and find a path that's stacked
That's stacked, that's stacked, that's stacked

Facts are lost in a sea of fake
Leading you astray, what's the next step to take?
Where lies are sold as the gospel truth
A future bleak, what's the proof

FLY TO THE STARS

Beyond the realms of time and space
We will find a new way, a new grace
With every step we take, we will know
That this journey is just begun to grow

Yes we can reach the stars
With our hearts open wide
We'll find the strength within
To be true, to be true and to abide
We will know, we will grow

Through the darkness and the night
We'll find the light to make things right
With every step we make we will see
The beauty of our destiny

With every breath we take
We'll find the path to make
With every step we take
We'll find the love to make it real

Yes we can fly to the stars 
With our hearts open wide
We'll find the strength within
To be true to be true and to abide
We will know, we will know

HOMELAND

This is the land of human hearts
Where love and sorrow both have parts
Where life is lived with toil and pain
But hope still shines like morning rain

This is the land where we belong
Where we sing our songs of right and wrong
Where we stand up for what we believe
This is the land we must never leave

This is the land of the oppressed
Where freedom is a dream unguessed 
Where the poor struggle for a piece of bread
But still we keep our spirits fed

We'll build a world where justice reigns
Where war and hate are things of the past
Where all men and women are equal
This is the dream that forever lasts
Dream that forever lasts
Dream that forever lasts

​

IT'S OVER

I've been through it all seen it all
Fulfilled my missions had my fall
Now I'm just sitting here waiting to die
Feeling like my time has passed me by
Feeling like my time has passed me by

I've climbed the highest mountains
And swam the deepest seas
I've loved and crossed and won and lost
But now I'm ready to rest in peace
But now I'm ready to rest in peace

All my friends have moved on
All my dreams have turned to dust
As I sit and watch the world go down
Until my final breath of life

​

GUARDIAN OF THE LIGHT

In the shadows of the night
Where the spirits come alive
I see the secrets of the world
Unfolding before my eyes

I am the keeper of the flame
I am the weaver of the veil
The one who knows the ancient names
The one who holds the sacred tale

I am the guardian of the light
I am the keeper of the keys
The one who sees beyond the sight
The one who knows the mysteries
I am the keeper of the flame
The one who knows the ancient names

I walk the path of the arcane
Where the mysteries are plain
I seek the truth that lies within
Hidden knowledge of the trees

I am the guardian of the light
I am the keeper of the keys
The one who sees beyond the sight
The one who knows the mysteries
I am the keeper of the flame
The one who knows the ancient names

TRANSIENCIES

(excerpt from Rupert Brooke's poem "Dining-Room Tea")

Till suddenly, and otherwhence
I looked upon your innocence

Till suddenly, and otherwhence
I looked upon your innocence

Till suddenly, and otherwhence
I looked upon your innocence

For lifted clear and still and strange
From the dark woven flow of change
Under a vast and starless sky
I saw the immortal moment lie
Lie, lie, lie

I saw the stillness and the light
And you, august, immortal, white
Holy and strange and every glint
Posture and jest and thought and tint
Freed from the mask of transiency
Triumphant in eternity
Immote, immortal

ELEGY FOR A CITY

Once proud and strong, the city so alive
Now reduced to rubble, nothing left to thrive

The earth shook beneath, the damage is done
City's heart now broken, its soul at unease

An elegy for the city, mourning in its pain
The memories lost forever, the future filled with rain

No laughter on the streets, no music in the air
Only silence echoes, a sorrow beyond repair

Buildings crumble down, streets filled with debris
People search for loved ones, their loss all so deep
The cries of the wounded, the sound of despair 
A city in ruins, the sight beyond repair

An elegy for the city, mourning in its pain
The memories lost forever, the future filled with rain

No laughter on the streets, no music in the air
Only silence echoes, a sorrow beyond repair

But from the ashes, a glimmer of hope
The people unite to help each other cope
With strength and courage they rise once again
Building a new city where love and life remain

An elegy for the city, mourning in its pain
The memories lost forever, the future filled with rain

No laughter on the streets no music in the air
Only silence echoes, a sorrow beyond repair

From the ashes we'll rise like a bird taking flight
With courage in our hearts and hope our guiding light
We'll stand as one and face the unknown
With love in our hearts and the courage to grow
