​
Verse 1
Into the ends of the earth I sail
Like mortal men before
Journey far beyond the stars
Past the edge of evermore
Over years I’ve beared this world
Its suffering, despair
Searing pain inside my soul
Every time I seem to care
Pre-Chorus
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh my God he waits for me
I make this ride, I take the time for this odyssey
I sit in judgement as I wait my final destiny
Chorus
Fly, far beyond the stars
Lights fade like the faces of the past
Time dies as I contemplate the odds
I rise as I walk beside the Gods
Verse 2
Into the fields of hope I stand
By blessed I’ve been led
All alone out in this land
All inhabitants are dead
Righteous heroes in their place
Men of valour and descent
Honoured greatly with this grace
From the heavens they’ve been sent
Pre-Chorus
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh my God has come for me
I’ve been found, I’ve been crowned like the prodigy
I take this moment now I realise my ecstasy
Chorus
Fly far beyond the stars
Lights fade like the faces of the past
Time dies as I contemplate the odds
I rise as I walk beside the Gods
Interlude
Whoa-oh-oh enter a state of delirium
Whoa-oh-oh-oh into the fields of Elysium
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
​
Guitar Lead - Aaron
Chorus
Fly, far beyond the stars
Lights fade like the faces of the past
Time dies as I contemplate the odds
I rise as I walk beside the Gods
BREATHING MURDER FEAT. DEREK SHERINIAN
Verse 1
[My mind is in the past
The way it used to be
And how I felt all those years
Are just a distant memory]
​
In my head it’s fading
All around, descending down
As if nothing is real
Only pain I can feel
I never wanna leave
Or be so far from home
​
Chorus
Don’t you tell me, it’s all in my mind
You can’t help me, haven’t got that time
Time won’t change me, I’m not here to stay
Nothing tames me, when I’m in this mind
I’m breathing murder
Verse 2
When I’ve lost my mind, I can hear them say
Something’s gone inside, better stay away
​
Chorus 2
Don’t you tell me, it’s all in my mind
You can’t help me, haven’t got that time
Time won’t change me, I’m not here to stay
Nothing tames me, when I’m in this mind
I’m breathing murder

Middle
Another road ahead that’s laid with all I left behind
Again I close my eyes and fight the demons in my mind
It’s been so long I almost turned away from what was there
But something deep inside me drove away the thoughts of what I couldn’t bear
Don’t you tell me, you can’t help me
Don’t you help me, you can’t change me
Time won’t change me, nothing tames me
Time won’t tame me, nothing saves me
And if you ever feel it slip away
Just remember there’s a place for you
Take control and make it your own way
Just believe and trust in all you do
PARADISE LOST FEAT. GÖRAN EDMAN
Verse 1
(Göran) In the midst of earth and man
To where our world began
Lies the garden of creation
Full of purity and faith
The hope for our salvation
A tale of mystery and fate
(André) Angelic rebel banned from heaven
Beware the holy lord of flies
And though his face remains forever
I see the devil in his eyes
Chorus
War will reign on Heaven, Earth and Hell
(Göran) The fall of man begins
Pandemonium will rise again
(Göran) As Satan spreads his wings
​
Guitar Lead - Aaron
Keyboard Lead - Gary
Verse 2
(André) A wile of temptation and lust
Misguided certainty of trust
He preyed on our vanity
And made us take the bait
Though shame took hold inside
He knew it was too late
(Göran) A band of faithful angels
So beautiful and wise
Couldn’t stop the lord from straying
As he plotted our demise
Chorus
War will reign on Heaven, Earth and Hell
(Göran) The fall of man begins
Pandemonium will rise again
(Göran) As Satan spreads his wings
​
Keyboard Lead - Gary
​
Middle (Spoken)
(André) So, with the rebels by his side
He headed through the abyss
There awaited Adam and Eve
Both of whom were pure and naive
He impelled them to eat from the tree of knowledge of Good and of Evil
Then he said unto God as he’s cast out forever
(André) Better reigning in hell than to serve you in heaven
Guitar Lead - Aaron
​
Outro Chorus (Spoken)
(André) To the depths of hell, the devil returns
Blindness of man no longer concerns
Where Mankind in Eden no longer reside
Through shame and from guilt are now cast aside
With eyes open wide to the power of sin
To the end of ever life let now it begin
Paradise lost
Paradise lost
Paradise lost
Paradise lost
CHAINS OF SANITY
Verse 1
I take my time
But it runs away with me
Every day I feel the fire burn inside
Senses cry
They wanna break away
But I keep them down with chains of sanity
​
Guitar Lead - André
Bridge
I can feel the pain inside
Don’t you ever realise
This is everything to me. Yeah
Chorus
Fly away
On wings of broken dreams, I ride the sky
Where fortune hides, and sorrow comes to die
The darkest place I keep within my soul
A treasure chest of stories never told
Verse 2
I quell my mind
But it turns away from me
Every time I try to ease the flame inside
Thoughts subside
Never will break away
I keep them locked inside, forever they will stay
Bridge
I can feel the pain inside
Don’t you ever realise
This is everything to me
Chorus
Fly away
On wings of broken dreams, I ride the sky
Where fortune hides, and sorrow comes to die
The darkest place I keep within my soul
A treasure chest of stories never told

SEA OF DREAMS
Keyboard Intro Theme - Gary
Low Whistle Lead - Zachariah Gidney
​
Verse 1
I sat beside her in the night
Under the moonlit sky
And as I gazed into her eyes
I promised we would never die
We were young, we were full of life
Had the world laid at our feet
But in the darkness lies our fate
And pulled us in too deep
Chorus
I’ll rise up to the sky
And lay beside the stars
I let my spirit fly
Consuming all these scars
​
Guitar Lead - Aaron
​
Verse 2
So many lives I’ve led before
Surrounded by a sea of dreams
But when I found that open door
It brought me to my knees
If I can’t make this life with you
Don’t know what I’m living for
Looking back, I never knew
If I should be here anymore
Chorus
I’ll rise up to the sky
And lay beside the stars
I let my spirit fly
Consuming all these scars
​
Acoustic Lead - Aaron
Guitar Lead - Aaron
​
Chorus

Consuming all these scars

And lay beside the stars
I let my spirit fly
Consuming all these scars

A WARRIOR'S TALE FEAT MARK BOALS
Intro Guitar Lead - Aaron
​
Verse 1
(André) In a distant foreign land
A hero of our time
A warrior stands alone
Into battle he has led
Protector to our clan
Defender of the throne
Chorus 1
(Mark) Now he shows his tears where blood once shed
Reflecting on the life that he has led
His will is strong he’s no longer for sale
There’s never happy endings in a warrior’s tale
Verse 2
(André) Now the king has sent his men
Soldiers of the realm
They’ve come to take his head
But our warrior is strong
His spirit is unmatched
Now they lay here dead
Chorus 2
(Mark) He throws his sword in anger to the ground
He looks for help but nobody’s around
Hunted by the people he once saved
There’s never endings in a warrior’s tale
Keyboard Lead - Gary
​
Battle Speech (Spoken)
(Mark) Throw all your men at me now
I will take them one by one
And if I cannot be victorious in life
(André) I will come for you in death
​
Guitar Lead - Aaron
Chorus 3
(André) He can’t forsake the calling of a knight
Damned to spend a lifetime in this fight
Looks towards the kingdom as he stands
There’s no more happy endings
​
(Mark) Heads towards the castle with his sword
Rides on into battle with the hoard
His only chance to subjugate the Lord
Prepares another ending
For this warrior’s tale
EYES OF THE SEER
Guitar/Keyboard Theme - Aaron
​
Verse 1
Of ancient days gone by
A gift bestowed upon him
With eyes as blue as sky
He sees the darkness coming
Pre-Chorus
Just take a look inside the twisted mind
Beyond your wildest dreams that lie beyond your fantasy
Beware the horror of the visions in your nightmare
Chorus 1
Eyes that see
The image of a broken future
Misery
Can’t escape the premonition
Born to be
Guidance for the people’s calling
Never free
Servant to the prophet’s warning
Slap Bass Lead - Tim
Guitar Lead - Aaron
​
Verse 2
The chance to view his fate
He spent his life avoiding
Don’t know if it’s too late
To stop the end from calling
Chorus 2
Eyes that see
The image of a broken future
Misery
Can’t escape the premonition
Born to be
Guidance for the people’s calling
Never free
Servant to the prophet’s warning
​
Guitar Lead and Outro Lead - Aaron
Outro
He’s got the eyes upon him
He’s got the power to make them see
No wars or death depart him
He’s got the curse that holds the key
Reprise
Oh, there’s no time for me (Repeats)

THE GREAT DIVIDE PART I (INSTRUMENTAL)
Guitar Lead - Aaron
THE GREAT DIVIDE PART II
Intro Piano Theme - Aaron
​
Verse 1
If I were to have my time again
No one would ever hurt me
I’d see through the face of their facade
And all of the lie that tempt me
But I have seen it all my life
The vanity’s never ending
The class of elitist sycophants
When will they stop pretending?
Pre-Chorus 1
My time is coming now
Who will remember me?
Chorus
I only wanted to find
A place that treasures inside
But still the struggle goes on
Where do I belong?
Verse 2
I thought the divide between us all
Of status and caste had ended
A time we could open up our hearts
We had in the past defended
But behind the scenes of their soiree
Where all the in-vogue are welcome
They form an aristocratic race
And build up a wall around them
Pre-Chorus 2
My time is coming now
You will remember me!
Chorus
I only wanted to find
A place that treasures inside
But still the struggle goes on
Where do I belong?

Verse 3
So, me and my friends have grown apart
And now they don’t want to know me
The sacrifice made for our art
They don’t understand this journey
I’ve got this will inside of me
A vision I’m never yielding
So, while they all laugh into their gin
They can’t see the path I’m building
This is the Great Divide
This is the Great Divide
This is the Great Divide
Outro
Choosing friends based on their worth
With gracious charm they’re so refined
And even those that once were true
Without a thought are left behind
​
Whoa-oh (repeats)
