The Experiment Songtext
von Sins of Omission

One step over the edge
Then i fell into the unknown
My life flashed by, about to die,
I should have been scared
But i could only smile
No sorrow in my mind when i thought
Of what i had left behind
The end of the fall would be the answer to it all

So obsessed with my experiment,
I didn′t care, so away i went
Down, there was no turning back
Down find it all turned black
Was this the end or was it the beginning?
Was i losing it all, or was i winning?
When was it going to end, this sleep of insomnia?
I longed to reach the state of euphoria


The black unfolded like the curtains on a stage
I was on my way to the next chapter, page by page
Anxious to discover the unknown, so the journey began
My broken skull and twisted bones
Were all parts of the plan

About to enter the world unknown to living man,
Amazed i stood before the passage
And it was a beautiful experience
This mighty rush of joy

Fearless i now entered the passage,
Without knowing what to expect
Undescribable feelings were... running through my body

At last i was on the other side, beautiful world,
Unfold before my eyes
Golden valleys silver trees,

I kissed the sky and fell to my knees
I broke down in tears, before the sapphire lake so clear
Shivering in ecstasy, kingdom of euphoria... forever free


The crystal clouds, light green skies,
Were floating into each other
The diamond sun lights up the ground
And lies within the atmosphere
The beings here i recognize
From home world planet earth
But not in flesh, in gleaming art
They've gone through the same rebirth

To reveal the mystery of life and death
Was the point of my experiment
Now i was there on the other side,
But what was i supposed to be?

Then it came, the beaming light,
From the mighty sky
Blinded. i closed my eyes

Never to open them again, paralyzed,
Never more to move
Trapped, in my own body,
Under the eye of a ruthless god

Oh blood would flow if i
Would have my vengeance upon him
I could almost hear his laughter
See his smile before me
Angry and alone with crazy thoughts
Running through my mind
Forever i′d regret. i left my world behind
One step from not existing...
I a useless statue of flesh
