This world set in your ways A choice is brought to you Between the paths of reason and faith This game's always the same Accepting your rule Destroying that crystal clear path to truth The ministry of lies Living on borrowed time I wanna be a scholar I wanna break down the walls I want to know Why do we follow Such old and ancient rules Why don't we go Out into the world now And prove before we die That all is wrong Now is the time To find the truth unknown Expel the lie! With cautionary tales They cry out to remind Us of the blindfolds over our eyes But fantasies beyond Are calling me by name Or are they really blasphemous truths? Who could walk away, As I'm drawn to my fate I wanna be a scholar I wanna break down the walls I want to know Why do we follow Such old and ancient rules Why don't we go Out into the world now And prove before we die That all is wrong Now is the time To find the truth unknown Expel the lie! The time has come to decide The truth must no longer hide We witness this great lie Its time has come to die The ministry of lies Living on borrowed time I wanna be a scholar I wanna break down the walls I want to know Why do we follow Such old and ancient rules Why don't we go Out into the world now And prove before we die That all is wrong Now is the time To find the truth unknown Expel the lie!

I've found the key It was written in the stars, for me In every ray from on high It's time that we expelled this great lie I've never felt this way before Never even knew that There was so much to life If I share my knowledge I could open their eyes To what I've found This could be the turning point For all that we've learned Forget about the past We must embrace this new world And I will Let the truth be known! I see it all Now it's clear to me The truth has been revealed With my destiny found I know I must tell All who will believe I've never felt this way before Never even knew that There was so much to life If I share my knowledge I could open their eyes To what I've found This could be the turning point For all that we've learned Forget about the past We must embrace this new world And I will Let the truth be known! Now I know the way I must go I cannot falter With the journey beyond me I know That the truth guides me onward Long is the road ahead But it's the way of reason Difficult is the path that I tread But I know that I'll find freedom I've never felt this way before Never even knew that There was so much to life If I share my knowledge I could open their eyes To what I've found This could be the turning point For all that we've learned Forget about the past We must embrace this new world Never even knew that There was so much to life If I share my knowledge I could open their eyes To what I've found This could be the turning point For all that we've learned Forget about the past We must embrace this new world And I will Let the truth be known!

What you have suggested Will make us leave behind All that we've accepted As the scientific way of mind Questioning All we know To find the truth Could there be more to our lives? You all look but you do not see What I bring to you holds the key I can provide everything you seek Listen closely, follow my words We must all redefine the truth The old ways are dead! Enter the new You lost your way many years ago I can lead you, I've found the way! Trapped inside your way of mind You cannot see the light Come, embrace my new reality And fight for what is right You all look but you do not see What I bring to you holds the key I can provide everything you seek Listen closely, follow my words We must all redefine the truth The old ways are dead! Enter the new You lost your way many years ago I can lead you, I've found the way!

The Heretic 08:00
How dare you renounce your faith And abandon the syndicate We pronounce you a heretic For spreading tales of doubt and hate You chose your forbidden ways This is a blasphemous disgrace We can't allow this sacrilege We cast you out, this is your fate You were the one Who chose his destiny What have you done But proclaim heresy Cast out the heretic You cannot try to test The order that is established We shall not tolerate The heinous crimes you have conveyed We demand recompense You must now make amends There must be a consequence For proclaiming lies, you shall repent You were the one Who chose his destiny What have you done But proclaim heresy Cast out the heretic I was the one Who chose my destiny What have I done But proclaim heresy I must carry on For I know that they are wrong I've tried with all my might To bring everything to light But still they demand I abandon all I've found Yet I won't rest until I've shown Them I've discovered the truth unknown You were the one Who chose his destiny What have you done But proclaim heresy Cast out the heretic

This is the night I knew they would come To take me and judge If what I have done Is wrong Now I must face my fears For my time is near And I will be taken in chains Vile! You'll stay confined Await your trial And venture to your reckoning Now You realise There's no denial That we will do what must be done Nowhere left to go For spreading lies You will pay the ultimate Price For you are sin Now we shall bring You and secure your place in hell Fear for my life Has my pride come Before my downfall I cannot hide Or try to run I can't escape the Wrath of the divine Reason denied I angered them They demand my silence They will decide If what I've done Is treason above all Lead me to my trial

I've spent my life searching for answers Searching for the truth unknown Yet as I sit here in the darkness I feel regret in my bones This was never meant to be The way I lived my life I'm broken, shackled, beaten down It cuts me like a knife Might I never see the sunrise Upon the dusty plain Might I never see the star light within the milky way This is my plea now for forgiveness If you are up there listening As my life falls down around me I feel dark clouds are gathering I am a scientist of reason I must record what I observe This is my plea now for forgiveness Or is it justice I deserve? All I've done, for what it's worth Is meaningless design Without a cause to spread my words A message lost in time Will I stay here for evermore? If it should end this way Will no-one ever hear my call? I'll see no break of day Might I never see the sunrise Upon the dusty plain Might I never see the star light Within the milky way This is my plea now for forgiveness If you are up there listening As my life falls down around me I feel dark clouds are gathering I am a scientist of reason I must record what I observe This is my plea now for forgiveness Or is it justice I deserve? The end of the line For tomorrow they decide If the way I've lived my life Is a blessing or a crime? Might I never see the sunrise Upon the dusty plain Might I never see the star light within the milky way This is my plea now for forgiveness If you are up there listening As my life falls down around me I feel dark clouds are gathering I am a scientist of reason I must record what I observe This is my plea now for forgiveness Or is it justice I deserve?

I. Here I stand accused Is this the way It ends? All those hopeful dreams Gone in flames Now they found Their own reason for blaming me Everything I've seen The things I have believed A consequence of sin All of this has brought me here You must let me explain A reason for this change Before you judge my crimes I know my fate awaits me I have gone against the grain And now I stand before the saints I hope that they will see the same way As through my eyes Here I stand accused Alone and confused How did it come to this This was not my wish Can't you see That I never wanted you To save my soul Fantasy Will never prevail against The truth that you Refuse to behold II. A price that must be paid We will bring you justice There's nowhere left to hide You have spun your web of lies And faithfulness defiled We can now take action And account for all you've done We bring to you a sanction To make right All that you have wronged Now the time has come For the penitent man How could you be so proud Of the choices you have made Know that we Come to stop you now With a price that must be paid All of your Deeds have paved your way You shall atone for your mistakes Come and recount Your lies today For now it is too late for you! III. Glimmer of hope Listen to my words and hear what I have to say I played my part uncovering the mystery Can't you see this world is not for you to control, no Even through the darkness there's a glimmer of hope I only ever wanted to do what I thought right Even though my world has now been turned on its side The journey to discover everything I have shown now This has been the greatest thing that I've ever known For I am now a scholar I tried to break down the walls Who could have known That forever we must follow Such old and ancient rules But my words will go Out into the world now, To prove before I die That all is wrong Now is the time I've found the truth unknown Now expel the lie! IV. In the balance (Instrumental) V. Judgement day Justice shall be done To a verdict we have come Found guilty in your trial! Now you shall be sanctified! There's nowhere left to run From the crimes you have done Your sins have been condemned! This time you've reached the end! This is where my journey ends My final judgement day I am leaving my world behind Now I accept my fate

I followed the great mystery I have answered the call By searching for the answer The key to know it all This is where it's led me Imprisoned and condemned Now knowledge has abandoned me This journey's at an end I am the one Who chose my destiny I've overcome Those who rejected me And now, I leave my legacy They think they have won But they yet do not know That the truth shall not succumb It's seed shall start to grow My soul is now complete For I have found my peace They've tried their best to stop me But the truth has been set free! Through this storm I have finally come And I have found The truth This is all That I've left behind The truth can now shine through One day I know Despite all they have done That all shall be Revealed The syndicate Will have no hold over me With my legacy Believed My wisdom shall carry on No shadows from the past For the future shall remember My legacy at last Although the way's been difficult I have managed to surpass I've stood the test of time And my legacy shall last Now I've found the truth unknown!

about

Intricately imagined in both music and storytelling, this album follows an individual burdened with great knowledge and curiosity, destined to enlighten their contemporaries. However the revelation of understanding is not well received by all, with an onslaught of stubbornness threatening to consume a great discovery in its infancy.
