| 1. I Can See
[Music : S.Lill/ Lyrics: A. Kuntz]
The voices of the nature
the voices of a beast
the voices of the children
are the voices of a priest
this can all belong together
these are fragments of the one
and then soon will fuse forever
sentenced to creation
better if you hear |

Один из лучших прогрессив-металлических альбомов 1999 года. Отлично сыгранный и записанный альбом, сочетающий в себе все лучшие черты данного стиля: тяжелые гитары, чей саунд на некоторых песнях подходит даже к границам дет-металла, частые смены ритма по ходу исполнения песен, сложные аранжировки, некоторый налет джаза в отдельных песнях, блестящие гитарные и клавишные соло. По сравнению с предыдущим альбомом The God Thing группа стала звучать заметно тяжелее и менее сыро (давно пора, так как средний возраст участников данной команды довольно большой), больше появилось запоминающихся мелодий, меньше невнятных, проходных песен (которые составляли половину альбома 97 года). Очень оригинально звучащий вокал (который, правда, очень многим по каким-то причинам не нравится). После выпуска данного альбома группа по праву может считаться одним из грандов европейского прогрессива.

Великолепное сочетание прогрессивной мелодики и драйвовой трэшевой тяжести с атмосферными клавишами и потрясающим вокалом, в сопровождении минорной соло гитары. В альбоме встречается немалая доля романтики и поэтичности, вдумчивые рояльные проигрыши, аккустические гитары и частые цепляющие припевы. Материал можно представить, как смесь из Threshold и Dream Theater, но лучше СЛУШАТЬ "Far Off Grace", чем представлять. |

better when you care
better when you listen
are we all aware
I can see
where all soon will be
I'll be there and I know
where we all have to go
in poems of the martyr
the childhood of a thought
for freedom of a nation
all these things out of a part
dark essential dreams of jesters
feed my ideology
cause when all belongs together
then it all belongs to me
better if you hear me
better when you care
better when you listen
I can be aware
I can see
where we all soon will be
I'll be there and I know
where we all have to go
2. Far Off Grace
[Music: S. Lill / Lyrics: A. Kuntz]
On the way you start to go
where the morning meets the light
all the reasons washed ashore
to foreign lands
where you want to go
where you want to rise
innovation see the coexistent world
now you are sailing
to the edge yonder the waves
to the place he'd left behind
and you're speaking
to the voices of the sea
why he had to leave
still you have to stay
what do you know
where do we go
we are born to stay
here far off grace
and a crayfish is the lord
of the characters I meet
in the deep and healing oceans
so divine
all the essences I face
they were singing me the song
about the meaning
and the reasons that he's gone
full of wisdom are the images they told
and salvation saves the soul
everyday we are searching
for this foreign place
where I have to go
and where you want to stay
what do you know
where do we go
we are born to stay
here far off grace
waiting for the dawn
morning meets the light
whas me to the shore
into a land I left behind
sailing to the edge
leaving with the tide
searching for a place
where you will never be left alone
hear the serenade
makes you understand
why you had to stay and I fade away
3. Into the Sun
[Music: G.Werno / Lyrics: A.Kuntz]
Walking - dreaming - flying
over patterns of time
searching - lying - burning
for a paper of ancient signs
of the script from a stranger
had a long tercentenial delay
the novels he wrote
are a treasure
a meander down from the dark
into the sun
we are falling from the silence
into the sun
we are waiting for illumination
the deeper you come to the inside
words built up a new universe
imagine these rhymes
are the key to a door
each term is a pathway
erased in the end without you
walking - flying - searching
inside of these lines
dreaming - burning - lying
for a paper of signs
into the sun
we are falling from the silence
into the sun
we are waiting for illumination
a view to the source of the mission
we read is AcCult
to the fiction of dreams
the runes of a pagan deceit
will guide you to mandala cages
on the spiral inside
into the sun
we are falling from the silence
into the sun
where we all are leaving
4. Where Is the Man
[Music : S.Lill / Lyrics: A.Kuntz]
Like a storm in your head
rose the vision of a man
far away long ago
we are crossways under sands
and the robe like a crow
flies on shadows through the night
gemination of his blood
finds a way into the light
show me your face - somewhere
say who you are - beware
tell me your name - I hear you
and shine down your light anywhere
where is the man
kind of a stranger
a dual experiment
where - where is the man
under this "rosary cirus"
you cover the "eden" with hands
all the lines in your hand
from the burdons of your prayers
saw the murder on the face
of the paperfront today
his grand illusion was a charade
you'd better not believe in him
out of your salt - was made
deep in your blood - I wait
I am a part of you
and I need to inhale all your fears
where is the man
I am savior
over the land
where - where is the man
under this "rosary cirus"
you cover the "eden" with hands
and the ransom of paradise
is the oldest dreams
can the feathered associate lie to all the souls
how can we try to escape
5. Iodic Rain
[Music: S.Lill / Lyrics: A. Kuntz]
A shattered lamp imbrues the night
projecting sharp figures in his face
ten thousand days to paint your wings
and rise with the phoenix for a day
I know that you will betray yourself
to some things
we'll never get closer to
I know that we always surrender
I know that we must be aware
the scissors cut a shape of a man
betrays jaring sciences he rose
magnetic suns and star machines
to yield the submission of the gods
I know that you will betray yourself
to some things
we'll never get closer to
why do you thing we have all the rights
to unite all the sciences we should
not compare
you're loosing everything
nothings about to heal you
you fly into the unforgiven sunlight
to heal your pain
pour down Iodic rain
I know that we always surrender
I know that must be aware
you turn the pinions down
fly to the stars around
you're loosing everyting
nothings about to heal you
you're loosing everyone
that ever tried to heal you
you fly into the unforgiven sunlight
to heal your pain
pour down Iodic rain
6. I Don't Miss You
[Music: A. Kuntz, G. Werno / Lyrics: A.Kuntz]
I can't cry away all the tears
I can't lie away all the fears
I have inside
all my sails are torn by the wind
the scars that you incise
will never go away
I don't miss you
I don't even love you
I want you to die in my arms
I'm a storm the air that you breath
learn to fly away
on the wings you wear inside
you see me dying down in the fields
the way over the bridge
a fire guides the way
and winds that let you soar
will blow away my flame
I don't miss you
I don't even love you
I want you to die in my arms
I don't miss you
I don't even love you
I wish you would die in my arms
I don't love you
I don't hear you
I won't cry for you
I don't miss you
7. Inside Of Your Head
[Music : S.Lill / Lyrics : A.Kuntz]
We live in a world today
to burn our sun away
free all the ghosts
enslaving our rainbow
how can we lay
a part of a scientific frame
found a gathering the sea of games
yearning to see in what you believe
they want to know words to combine
clean our minds - detune our waves
and write us a chip inside
Inside of your head
Inside of your mind - Inside of me
beware of the morning side
the key to a system on the line
we are divine - parapoetic symbol
password defined
we are the gods
of the stages we've loaded
they take you away
all of your dreams
spread our will
rase our seals
paint us a new crack in the sky
blind us to analyse your mind
Inside of your head
Inside of your mind - Inside of me
the parapoetic symbol
a bridge to the other side
where we are the gods of pages we raise
8. Fields Of Hope
[Music : G. Werno, S.Lill / Lyrics: A. Kuntz]
Better wash away
land into the sea
when faith is broken
all the barricades
a potion for the waves
let us feed the flood
I know there's a way
I can see visions and dreams
I know there's a way
I can delineate any new empire
the colors I'm crying to secrets
they're drying
and now that I see
the fields of hope
descended from the tears
they always show
the meadows of the seers
none of the shields will hold me
never swords will break me
I create another world on the other side
to show you the way
to lands of visions and dreams
I show you the way
welcome to the dominion
of coloured fields
the colors I'm crying
to secrets they're drying
and now that I see
the fields of hope
descended from the tears
they always show the meadow
of the seers
I can be the hand
a medium to scan any mind delusion
I am just a passenger in a patient flood
on my paper walls
old pigmentations of dreams
and my feather will
delineate any new empire
the fields of hope are painted
by the tears
they always show the garden
of the seers
9. I'm In You
[Music: S.Lill / Lyrics: A. Kuntz]
Why are you calling
we have to hide this time
while you adjure the secret winds
can you imagine
now we are coming back
to free the things
that follow our chain
let it shine let it light the way
let it shine the way
down a million lives go
can you believe the things I do
can you believe that I'm in you
can you believe the sun
can you believe the rain
can you believe the same way too
then I'm in you
why are we changing
on our endless road
how can we wear this ring of fate
all that we're searching for
is the kabbala
and this one collective soul
we need to know
let it shine
let it light the way
let it shine
a hundred million lives ago
can you believe the things I do
can you believe that I'm in you
can you believe the sun
can you believe the rain
can you believe the same way too
then I'm in you
one collective soul we need to know
