The Stage Is Waiting

When you feel bewildered
By the silence of the world
From far away, a distant rustle
Bloody songs of dying hearts

And red turns black, and black grows hungry
Hunting for the sun
You run away, but can't go further
It's the edge: temptation calls
No!

And then you feel the smashing, crushing
Burden of the void
You look away, a sudden lightning
Cuts the dark, and black bleeds gold

But time blows cold and hope lies frozen
Flesh is crying out
The flame fades out, you must hold on
The stage is waiting for

Silence!
It has grown and gone too far
Blackout!
I still hear the sound of life
Hold on!

Some gate's about to open
On this walled reality
From the world's entrails the man is shouting
And far beyond arises the Deep

You, burning heart, nowhere man
Hunger for the absolute
You've been away an entire life
And now the time... the time has come
The world's behind, the curtain's falling
The countdown has begun
Let there be light! Let there be sound!
The show begins! The stage is waiting for...!
