Mytra - Exogen

What lies in the depth of seas and oceans
In untouched valleys and gorges
Where deep blue waters fade into black
And the raging whim of flooding destroys everything

Where snow and frost dominate the horizon
In the arid lands of ice, home of the polar light
Would we find anything that puts a rift in our dogma
A living entity or encased in ice

It is wrong to believe
In the hall of the cosmos
We read this tiny place
As an open book
It is wrong to believe
We can see hidden wonders
With our head buried in the sand

After the birth of macrocosm
From a place unknown
The cradles of double helix
Embarked on their eternal journey

It is the triumph of our life
It is the holy existence
It is darkness ground into dust
It is the banishment of death

Encased in stone and ice
Hidden from cold and radiation
Waiting for the start
Of a new beginning

It is the triumph of our life
It is the holy existence
It is darkness ground into dust
It is the banishment of death

A tiny point amongst prometheans
Filled with thousands of souls
Who were persecuted by the terrible end
And trust in (the) protection of a new system

Existence is often a narrow escape
Silent emptiness, too bleak for the living
Where destroying stars sprinkle their light
Only the sinister infinity that surrounds

Hundred light years of doubt
Million moments of hope
Search and find
Through time and space

Migrating from world to world
Intently flying forward
Conquered by
The human race

What's waiting for the awakened dreamers?
What will their long-closed eyes see?

A new day, shining, giving space for life
Fertile lands for grass and trees
Giving home, where they will die and be born
Again, like long ago, those from the old Earth

Hundred light years of doubt
Million moments of hope
Search and find
Through time and space

Migrating from world to world
Intently flying forward
Conquered by
The human race

Where the voice of intellect is smothered by insanity
Where destruction is equivalent to progress
Where there is no tomorrow, only "now" exists
Where war is fought for drinking water
There's no reason to stay

No need for tears
No need for wailing
This was predestined
Not worth complaining

No need for compassion
And no need for sorrow
Who forgives all our sins
Chooses extinction

Where the greatest glory is being an idiot
Where living like slaves in an accepted norm
Where less is always more, where the law is only to be
Abided by the oppressed
There's no reason to stay

No need for tears
No need for wailing
This was predestined
Not worth complaining

No need for compassion
And no need for sorrow
Who forgives all our sins
Chooses extinction

Our time is over

This process irreversible
To remedy is impossible
The countdown's been going on
Been going on for a while already

And there are those
Who shackle humanity
With their own
Petty ambitions

We wanna break the silence
We wanna give you guidance
We wanna show a nicer future
To mankind
We wanna conquer the distance
We wanna find more new lands
We have got one more chance
Redemption draweth nigh

The biosphere is decaying
What's alive will be replaced
Will be replaced by death
Decay will consume everything

Bloodshed and greed obscure facts
Leaving a collapsed world
Only just bitter prospects
Are left behind

We wanna break the silence
We wanna give you guidance
We wanna show a nicer future
To mankind
We wanna conquer the distance
We wanna find more new lands
We have got one more chance
Redemption draweth nigh

Look around and see
You're at the wrong place
Look around and see
There's no longer grace

We wanna break the silence
We wanna give you guidance
We wanna show a nicer future
To mankind
We wanna conquer the distance
We wanna find more new lands
We have got one more chance
Redemption draweth nigh

You, who gave meaning to substance
Who filled the dark void with wonders
The one who created a complex
Living system from nothing

Creator, please rest now
Put your problems aside for a while
And stop time for a moment
Pay attention to your mortal creatures

You can see, I'm walking on the road of clarity
You can see, I'm very close to reality
You can see, I'm walking on the road of clarity
I ask you one more time, please teach me everything
And help me figure out, who I am

When you planted the seed
In the whole universe
Gave life to the lifeless
Purpose to the meaningless

Your patience is endless
Your plans are a riddle to us
But we live in hope that
One day we will see clearly

Make me free, I want to see the perfect infinity
Make me free, I'm waiting for divine anonymity
Make me free, I want to see the perfect infinity
Since I was born I've been looking for equilibrium
I want to feel, I want to feel my senses

Make me free
I want to see
The perfect
Infinity

All existing fragments of our knowledge
I guard and share with you anytime
Revealing everything that has been unknown so far
From the beginning of existence up until right now

Beautiful landscape to you
Fragments of light to me
Heavenly music to you
Vibrant particles to me

Beautiful landscape to you
Fragments of light to me
Heavenly music to you
Vibrant particles to me

Two souls in one body
I see your face as mine
Two minds are trapped in me
From your mouth through my voice words come out

I know you dread mortality
Endless silence and empty solitude
Worry not, it's fine, however you may feel
You'll end up as a program code by my side

Beautiful landscape to you
Fragments of light to me
Heavenly music to you
Vibrant particles to me

Beautiful landscape to you
Fragments of light to me
Heavenly music to you
Vibrant particles to me

Two souls in one body
I see your face as mine
Two minds are trapped in me
From your mouth through my voice words come out

You serve me faithfully
Help to oversee and construe
I heal the injuries
What the real world has caused you

David and Goliath meet again
But the final outcome is now different
No, there is no place for miracles
The smaller one has become the victim

(It) all happened in a flash
(It's) just a coincidence
No one there to witness
There is no real evidence
The phoenix will never unfold its wings again
And Adonis remains a prisoner of (the) depths

"Everlasting" and "immortality"
Concepts are no longer known

(It) all happened in a flash
(It's) just a coincidence
No one there to witness
There is no real evidence

(It) all happened in a flash
And everything is lost
Eternal faith has (been) crashed
A dream turned into the dust

Although their role could be irrelevant
Had they not been there amongst us
Our story of survival avoiding extinction
No one could tell

They fought day and night
With everlasting intent, strong as a rock
To save that could be saved against the ticking time
The henchman of inevitable death

They were all heroes, steadfast and wise
They lived in a decaying world
The results of their actions are forever
Just as their names chiseled into stones on the new colonies

While the naive herd was obliviously floundering
In the sea of false pleasures
Looking for grace of false idols
Their hazy eyes didn't see that
The sword of Damocles was casting a shadow

They were all heroes, steadfast and wise
They lived in a decaying world
The results of their actions are forever
Just as their names chiseled into stones on the new colonies

You came from the cold and deep space
Your home is the Twelfth, a strange and unkind cradle
Searching (for) salve against devastation
Salve, that has been found on this planet

We don't know, if you're still amongst us
We don't know, if you're still meddling in our lives

Series of disasters and chaos surrounded your coming
You found your home between two rivers
Been reigning over our tribe like a god for thousands of years

Created us to serve your vital needs
Produced us in your image
But left us weak and frail
So your fears don't eventuate
This conception was unmoved and stern
Lacking all emotion

We don't know, if you're still amongst us
We don't know, if you're still meddling in our lives
As the Twelfth gets close to us again
Perhaps we'll receive answers to all our questions
