Narnia - The Great Fall lyrics



Tracks



01. War Preludium

"The world is constantly changing...
Every second a new life is born, and a dream is fulfilled
I'm gazing to the starlight, overwhelmed by the smallness of my actions...
Forever I've stumble as I desperately sought the wisdom of ages...
Tomorrow....I will change the world"

02. The Countdown Has Begun

I leave today
Into the eyes of death I smile
No turning back now
For power and glory and justice for all

Fight for the truth (so vague, so strong)
Bend every rule (so pure, so wrong)
Pray for the soldier, in this cause we stand
Blinded we aim (denying history)
We shall proclaim (our sweet victory)
Every nation bows at our feet

We fight to find a meaning, to see them falling down
Tear down the walls and build them higher and higher

I won't go back
Never again will I betray
My land or my people
Lift my eyes to the horizon
Borders to conquer and banners to burn

Fight for the truth (so vague, so strong)
Bend every rule (so pure, so wrong)
Pray for the soldier, in this cause we stand
Blinded we aim (denying history)
We shall proclaim (our sweet victory)
Every nation bows at our feet

We fight to find a meaning, to see them falling down
Tear down the walls and build them higher and higher
We've fought trough endless battles, but now we're falling down
Tear down our minds and make them sronger and colder

Don't run from the pain
Drowning in a memory of the times we miss the most
One day this will all be gone
Anybody smells my fear, a heart that's turned to ice
Who could tell that this would be the end that's in their lies
Hide...for the countdown has begun...

We fight to find a meaning, to see them falling down
Tear down the walls and build them higher and higher
We've fought trough endless battles, but now we're falling down
Tear down our minds and make them stronger and colder

03. Back From Hell

Where can I run? and where can I hide?
I'm trapped inside, can't find my way out
No place to call home and no one here to carry me
I am a lonely soldier, I fight my own war
Everyone's caught up in themselves
My wounded soul is tearing me down

Into the fire I run
Someone out there, help me to escape
I hear voices from hell so loud and clear
Laughing at me

I'm back
I'm back from hell again
But hell is everywhere
Back
I'm back from hell again
But hell is everywhere

If there's a god in heaven
Have mercy on my fallen soul
My demons are haunting me
They never seem to leave me alone
Insomnia, delusions, I'm dreaming awake
Afraid to fall asleep
Bad memories are haunting me
If you see me come and rescue me

Into the fire I run
Someone out there, help me to escape
I hear voices from hell so loud and clear
Laughing at me

I'm back
I'm back from hell again
But hell is everywhere
Back
I'm back from hell again
But hell is everywhere

Everything is so dark and cold
Death is all I'm longing for
I've killed so many in the name of pride
Can someone hear a suicidal hero's cry?

Into the fire I run
Someone out there, help me to escape
I hear voices from hell so loud and clear
Laughing at me

I'm back
I'm back from hell again
But hell is everywhere
Back
I'm back from hell again
But hell is everywhere

"My soul's been deeply wounded...
So many lives I've sacrificed
So many dreams I've crushed
That keep hunting me every night...
The memories...the soldiers...the mothers and their children...
I need to find peace of mind
So I'm heading on pilgrimage to the ancient city
To restore my sanity"

04. No Time To Lose

How long will I carry on?
I'm searching for the answer
Seems like I'm running inside of my head
No ends and no horizons
Is this the way it's got to be?
I need to find the answer
Is this a dream or is it reality?

Inside my head I hear a voice
You can't get rid of the blood on your hands
The time is here, you have to choose
Seek redemption, set your soul free

My way to go is hard to find
I'm caught in the middle
There's something far beyond the distant sky
Lead me to the bringer of life
They told me he's here inside my house
Where can I find him?
The sands of time are running, I need to go

Inside my head I hear a voice
You can't get rid of the blood on your hands
The time is here, you have to choose
Seek redemption, set your soul free

No time to lose,
Bring me to the holy cross
No time to lose,
I can't take the pain no more
No time to lose,
Bring me to the holy city
No time to lose,
Salvation's all I need

No time to lose,
Bring me to the holy cross
No time to lose,
I can't take the pain no more
No time to lose,
Bring me to the holy city
No time to lose,
Salvation's all I need

05. Innocent Blood

Waiting for the hour to strike
I've been longing for this journey
To get out of my broken world and
Reacg the land of the holy
Aiming for the goal in my life
I need to clear my mind
Shelter for my bleeding heart
In the presence of my saviour

Jerusalem - here I come
Jerusalem - my live has just begun

Now I'm here at last on holy ground
To see the sacred places
Fot the first time in my life
I'm free without obligations

Smoke and fire block out the sun
Dead bodies all around
Innocent blood
Smoke and fire block out the sun
Dead bodies all around
Innocent blood

Warm blood is pouring down my face
My heavy legs are aching
I survived and what's the cost
I'm back in my living hell

Jerusalem, what have you done?
Jerusalem, you killed the only one

My God I'm asking you now
Why your holy land is falling
What is left and who is right?
I need you now to guide me

Dawn of terror, rise again
Will the killings ever end
Will this broken world be healed
Or an eternal battlefield
People dying, God is crying
Will this evil ever end?
Love your father, hate your brother
One day you all must repent

Smoke and fire block out the sun
Dead bodies all around
Innocent Blood
Smoke and fire block out the sun
Dead bodies all around
Innocent blood

06. Ground Zero

[Instrumental]

07. Judgement Day

I've seen them falling everywhere
Like candles fading unaware
Imprisoned by a world of glass
We fight for freedom, but when will we face it

Sinners and saints living under the same sun
Holding the key to the world in thier hands
Our time on earth's drawing nearer the end
In the light of judgement day

We bow our heads for our pride
Hiding under the dreams that died
What lies beneath might be revealed
So we keep running, from the face of God we turn

Sinners and saints living under the same sun
Holding the key to the world in thier hands
Our time on earth's drawing nearer the end
In the night of judgement day

Sinners and saints living under the same sun
Holding the key to the world in thier hands
Our time on earth's drawing nearer the end
In the light of judgement day

08. Desert Land

[Instrumental]

09. The Great Fall Of Man

We can walk across the desert...sail the seas
We can rule the world and tame our destiny
The price we pay for immortality...is death
In shallow waters we run aground

Move on now, the sun is setting
On all that is left undone
Awaiting the final wake up call
Just to fall asleep again

Live for tomorrow, die today
The lies that feed us are leading you astray
Worshiping the holiness of mankind
Close your eyes and leave it all behind

Power of depravity, killing you within
Leaders lie and children die in this mean machine

Worshiping the hollowness of mankind
Close your eyes and leave them all behind

Time after time...
We keep resisting
Time of redemption...shall come in the end
We'll heed the warning
Lead us from slavery...
We cry

How long can we go on this way? when will we ever be true?
And how can we justify our deeds...
When all we've have accomplished for two thousand years...
is raping and killing, wounding and stealing
The tower of Babel higher we climb
Cloning humanity, blindfolding God
Heaven's on sale now, just pay with ten faithless souls

In the name of religion we slay

Burning the candle, sooner then we think, it's coming to an end
Rush through the moments, do not look behind
You might just feel the need to breathe
Inhale the poison, pumping through your veins indoctrinated
Stay through the dark night, when the morning comes
You'll be rewarded...scarred for life...

Try to rise above it all...again
One more time we crash and burn
One way out is all that's offered here
Trust the machine, hold on to it's promises

Move on now, the sun is setting
On all that is left undone
Awaiting the final wake up call
Just to fall asleep again...

Live for tomorrow and die today
No room for questions on our way...

As long as this moment is not the end, I remain alive
Tomorrow I will pray for the ones who did not survive
Tell me all who made it... and show me all who fell
Upon the clouds of heaven... into the fires of hell
Distant light beyond our vision, yet so beautiful
Inminent night, darker than the depths that evil revealed
Gently picking up the pieces of this shattered dream
I place the broken puzzle into blood stained hands
From the safety in the distance... I watch the great fall of man

Time after time
Time of redemption shall come in the end...
Lead us from slavery
We cry...after time...
Time of redemption shall come in the end...
Lead us from slavery...
We cry.....
