Dances of Death: h) Finale Songtext
von Mekong Delta

Time passing as the world changed its face
Past all that used to be not a trace
Now all that was is gone, can′t you see?

Always questions
What happened to our world, different now?
Why answers can't be found? Tell me how
Now dissolution is all I see

As I meandered this world, I saw strange faces
I′ve seen some ghastly bizarre phenomenon
Such desolation and pain, I can't describe it
But always something was there that led me on

Never saw a place like this
How can such a thing exist?
Brotherhood of happiness inviting me, I can't resist
How can such a thing exist? Inviting me, I can′t resist
Brotherhood of happiness, never saw place like this
Never saw-


The priests gave us reason
Brought hope to our season
They gave us the will to survive
It′s healthy and clean here
It's just like a dream here
Just thank the priests you′re alive, alive, alive

I had a vision and it was gone
Something there I just can't put my finger on

Cries from the other side calling me
Lies message from beyond curse the priests
Why? I don′t understand
Share the feast

Cry out! Cry out! Cry out!

When the dark figures in the midst help denied
Death tightening its fist, no reply
Rage, tell me, what is this paradox?

As the people all dance in celebration now
They seem so happy and so preoccupied
Somehow I don't understand this fascination
I think it all will be clear when I′m inside


Where did all these priests come from?
What kind of men have you become?
Serve and never question why
Worship talons from the sky
What lies beyond the golden gate
A journey of uncertain fate
Serve and never question why
Serve and never question why
Question why

It's nicer that nice here
A real paradise here
It's really too good to believe
There′s growing in knowing
And that′s where I'm going
The gates are prepared to receive, receive me

Gates far behind
Priests out of mind
Endless the night
Nocturnal flight
Eyes in the dark
Wait for the spark
Waste everywhere

Peril in sight
Pray for the light
Phantoms in black
Mutants attack
Bare skin and bone
Hunger the hone
No apathy
For what I see

The tunnel in the mountainside
Looks like a place to hide
Descending into darkness now
A chamber deep inside

Days of betrayal
Days of betrayal
Days of betrayal
Days of-

Automation
Screen coming on
Ancient machines
What does it mean?
Bio chip here
Message of fear
Shocking the view
Morbid and true

A chance to save the human race
Chaos we can′t avoid
A mighty power out of place
That has to be destroyed

Days of betrayal
Days of betrayal
Days of betrayal

The end of the beginning of
What is but never really was
Now press on and go beyond
I could try a million times
And cry until the end of time
But it won't change a thing!

Don′t believe all that you see
'Cause it can never be
Truth could be there in disguise
Never trust your eyes
Wandering aimless through time
Wondering what I will find
So many years on my own
But no place I can call home

A dome upon the hill
Stare, that can that building be?
Sound, I hear a melody
Look, that′s my philosophy
Wait, the truth is for the brave
And it's like a tidal wave now

Entities all dressed in white
No end in sight
Some giants, some little ones
Where are they from?
Packed inside this mega dome
Why have they come?
Where are all these giants from?
Why have they come?

My eyes are playing tricks on me
These things I really can't believe
They′ve got the heads of human men
And the bodies of machines
Who are these aneroid masterminds?
And what will all this mean for me?
Possessing knowledge so incredible
I know we speak the truth indeed

Can this be a fantasy?
Mirage of what I want to see
A sanctuary, can it really be?

Just follow me, I′ve got the key
So follow me, you will see

Just follow me, I've got the key
So follow me, you will see
So come alone, I′ve got the key
You will agree, I guarantee
Sanctuary, just follow me
And you will find safe inside
Out of sight and out of mind

Each of us cell inside
All satisfied, a body of perfection
And we are one
Entities dressed in white
No end in sight
The place I long to be
Sanctuary

The giants paid a high price
For their artificial life
They guard the truths of all mankind, you see
So intellect can thrive
Condemned to be the slaves of time, they are
They can never touch or feel
Things are never what they seem to be
Eternity to them is real
