MADMAN’S CAPRICCIO The world's a stage We're all just actors in a play Nothing we say or do Will ever change a thing Who even cares anyway It's all just vanity they say So would you like to play A king? I'd rather play a fool I'd play a clown I'd play a madman who Believes that he can fly (Even though he's falling down) I'd rather play a clown Than play a king Only a madman wears a crown That don't mean anything (So would you like to play with me?) A crown's too heavy for my head I'd rather wear a jester's hat A palace is a cage too small To be a prison for my soul The crowd cheers and bows before the father of the kingdom. "Long live the king" they shout and the fool shouts louder than most. Bow before the king he does with all of them. But one look in his eyes and you know - it is not a gesture of respect But one of mockery.

A FAIRY TALE FOR THE WICKED I've heard this tale before The beast, the beauty and the devil I know how it ends But I don't mind it, not at all Come, take my soul And make her mine before the sun ascends Don't do it, not for me I do pretend so very well but My heart is cold My beauty is deceiving Inside I'm just an empty shell My soul I too have sold Take me (A fairy tale for the wicked) Carress me (My fair lady) Love me (A fairy tale for the wicked) I'll still have nothing to give you back (A fairy tale for the weak at heart) To be beautiful for you I proceeded my soul to sell Oh, the folly of my lust and my youth Now I'm only in love with myself Once upon a time there lived a beauty and a beast Once upon a time they burned Then they made a deal with one who never did exist Their love to ashes turned Take me (A fairy tale for the wicked) Caress me (A fair price to pay) Love me (A fairy tale for the wicked) I'll still have nothing to give (A fairy tale for the weak)

WORDS OF PROPHECY Giants walk the Earth Those who walk on water die of thirst The future has been witnessed Prophets raise the dead God forbid the living rise instead The future has been witnessed A story never told A book written in blood A manuscript of drawings Not a single word A science lost to man A story never told The secret of all secrets The art of turning lead to gold The planets will align Time is growing short What will come to be Is that which was before The truth will be revealed The planets will align The secret of all secrets The art of turning water into wine The path we walk is flawed That is plain to see That which was before Once again shall be The pages turn to dust The path we walk is flawed The secret of all secrets The art of turning humans into gods

One Of Them 05:16
ONE OF THEM I came searching for Gods and higher lore I found only men Mad men I'm one of them Couldn't learn the truth No one ever could In a world made of lies One life Can not suffice And when the Abyss stares right back at me I know I'm not blind if myself I can see /2 All I thought I knew My insights - however few With the break of dawn All gone Each single one All I meant to ask And my noble task My quest to save the world So foolish And absurd The meaning of life we are not meant to know Man is too small /2 The meaning of life we are not meant to know Man is too small /4 I came searching for Gods and higher lore Then my mind I lost And all I Thought mattered most Now I'm one of them Those who ones were men Lunatics at best Each one By beasts possessed All we see is just fantasy Man's just too small to understand it all Sanity is blindness that's all it is Once touched by the truth They are both gone for good
