Aftermath:
The story is pretty clear: she had a chance to be next to greatness, but she blew it - what a pity.
Lyrics:
snakes in your mouth
their tongues whisper a venomous lie
so well disguised
they deceive even you
they're not to blame
they're just part of this game
where egos makes the moves
and hearts always lose
anger grows in me
twisting my sense of reality
this sweet dream shattered
beauty and bliss that could have been
now - as you're weak and bleeding
dwelling in your tomb of misery
I - still undefeated
enjoy the spoils of my victories
too late to see my divinity
with blood and with sweat
I've paid for my success
even more dedication
I would've offered you
but you're a disease
a parasite I do not need
gladly I leave you
on the withered killing field
anger grows in me
twisting my sense of reality
this sweet dream shattered
beauty and bliss that could have been
now - as you're weak and bleeding
ditching your soul in a rotten tomb
sick, alone and needing
you hope I'd be there to comfort you
your time for pity is overdue
anger burns in me
releasing me from this misery
one sweet dream shattered
but now I know who I'm meant to be
force - it gathers in us
leading us on to our destiny
with might now handed to us
we shine with joy, grace and unity
you just did not want to follow me
you - alone and needing
I - still undefeated
you lie weak, cold, alone and needing
I move on forever undefeated
The Visionary:
Visionaries are exceptional people who have the power to mould the world. Yet their visions can and have been used throughout history for both creation and destruction. Depending on their success, these people have been later regarded either as heroes or villains. And yes, the song is also somewhat autobiographical!
Lyrics:
VERSE 1
to dreams of might
in his minds blinding light
securely the dreamer is bound
building his empire in the clouds
that will come to exist through sound
in his dreams he would show them all
declaring in hard, silent words:
- false prophets and witches will burn
my judgement now be heard!?
PRECHORUS 1
immersed in arcane secrets so ghastly to the common man
limitless is the power of will as it yields to his command
CHORUS
now - as my vision will come alive
to my kingdom I will arrive
soon - it won't be long
until all of the world hears my song
hear - ye of little faith now be warned
'cause infidels won't be mourned
this day you can't avoid
my vision cannot be destroyed
VERSE 2
facing a cold reality
is where I now must make my stand
for that is the way, the only way
that makes the overman
brick by brick
and with endless sweat
dreams turn from air to stone
my vision holds and I surely know
the stones will turn to gold
PRECHORUS 2
I am passionate in my pursuits with a temper to match
there is no choice opposition must be wiped away from my path
CHORUS
I cry out to the skies the wind shall carry my name
I'm wild, free and pure and I can't be tamed
the dreamer's nature restlessly feeds its desire
a curse and a blessing it is that no force can put out my relentless fire
