1. Ascend To The Throne

Here comes another chance from fate
A new beginning
The price we must embrace
Like lambs to the slaughter
We couldn't deal
But now we have the method
To turn this inside out

A red light blinks intensely
Is warning
A bleeding
The thoughts that break the harmony
Must be modified
We have to design
A better way to live

[Chorus:]
Hear my yell
We gotta ascend to the throne
Nothing to lose by trying

We've got the key to open the vault
Just look inside and make
The sparkle burn

A red light blinks intensely
Is warning
A bleeding
Approaching fast

[Chorus:]
Hear my yell
We gotta ascend to the throne
Nothing to lose by trying
We gotta ascend to the throne
Nothing to lose by trying

Suddenly something
Which you can't explain makes you burst out
Your whole being adjusts to a new frequency
The new sun is about to shine
The shadows will be left behind

[Chorus:]
Hear my yell
We gotta ascend to the throne
Nothing to lose by trying

[Chorus:]
Hear my yell
We gotta ascend to the throne
Nothing to lose by trying

Hear my yell
The new kings knock at the door
Wear the suit of the victory

Hear my yell
The new kings knock at the door
Wear the suit of the victory

2. The Compass

Running from the dark
Dry in a dustbowl
I was captivated by a dazzling glance
Almost like a sudden blast
You rose from the gutter
To illuminate the night

You taught me how to turn invisible
How to blend in with the scene

Everything's alive and conscious
(Conscious, conscious)
Listen to the sheer breathing
The image of all that's pure
Hide beyond the obvious
It's the reflections of the real laws

You taught me how to turn invisible
How to blend in with the scene
To maintain balance we must go unnoticed
(Unnoticed)
Never alter the atmosphere

[Chorus:]
Feel the shine inside the core
Emotions come back to live
Let's resurrect intuition
Once burnt out

Sharp your limited perception
Try to feel the things
That you can't see

The precious gift you are
A compass in the dark
Syntonized we can never get lost

[Chorus:]
Feel the shine inside the core
Emotions come back to live
Let's resurrect intuition
Once burnt out

Total disconnection from the natural world
Never will we reach full growth
You gave me the drop that shakes
Every feeling inside

[Solo]

[Chorus:]
Feel the shine inside the core
Emotions come back to live
Let's resurrect intuition
Once burnt out

Eee-aaww

3. Whispers Of Hope

Make me believe I'm not just a pawn
I don't belong to their greedy game
Tell me I'm the one who controls this
The dice don't take me to the next square

Whispers of hope
Invade my home
Make me wiser in this epoque
Whispers of hope
Now light the room
Make me wiser in this uncertain epoque

[Chorus:]
You are the one
The true self will help you find
A way to break the spiral
The wind of chance
Sweeps the leaves to let you find
The hidden path

With fury your steps are predictable
Learn how to control the power
Which makes you carry on to a final death

Whispers of hope
Invade my home
Make me wiser in this epoque
Whispers of hope
Now light the room
Make me wiser in this uncertain epoque

[Chorus:]
You are the one
The true self will help you find
A way to break the spiral
The wind of chance
Sweeps the leaves to let you find
The hidden path

[Solo]

I lead my life
Alternatives come out
I lead my life
I won't know defeat

[Chorus:]
You are the one
The true self will help you find
A way to break the spiral
The wind of chance
Sweeps the leaves to let you find
The hidden path

4. Reject The Mould

Below the surface I find what is real
A painful truth to reveal
We are all standing like automatons in life
Don't you see that we all share the same pathetic style?

Reject the mould
Unclose the riddle
That never lets you grow
We need to molt
And push the wheel
That never seems to roll

We are simple puppets
With no individual viewpoint
Take your place-card and sit down

Reject the mould
Unclose the riddle
That never lets you grow

[Chorus:]
Delete the way and now turn yourself
Into a mystic soul
Delete the way and now be the weird
Be their denial

We walk following a stranger's footsteps
That will always take us to conquered lands

Reject the mould
Unclose the riddle
That never lets you grow
We need to molt
And push the wheel
That never seems to roll

[Chorus:]
Delete the way and now turn yourself
Into a mystic soul
Delete the way and now be the weird
Be their denial

What would you sacrifice
What would you exchange
For a piece of authenticity?

[Solo]

[Chorus:]
Delete the way and now turn yourself
Into a mystic soul
Delete the way and now be the weird
Be their denial

To be a mystic soul
Inside this world
Delete the way and
Be their denial

5. Inflexible Kingdom

In search of perfection I built my own...
Inflexible kingdom
I am so exigent with all that comes
I can hardly taste the new day

Stuck in a sole thought
I never change direction
Afraid that everything I've fought for
Will turn into dust

It's bleeding
(It's bleeding)
Not healing
(Not healing)
An inner wound is born
Untie the strap that fastens
You to this immobile state

So protected in my armored suit
Is it worth it hiding behind the mask?
Disappointed not to find anything to be satisfied with
Am I mental or is it that I don't wanna stop the search?

[Chorus:]
You say I waste too much time
With the small details
But there's where I really find
My own perfection code

There's nothing blinder
Than the eyes that don't want to see

[Chorus:]
You say I waste too much time
With the small details
But there's where I really find
My own perfection code

6. Instruction Cycle

I demand every single treasure
All that's being desired
Fearless to the unexplored
I'll find unsuspected routs

I'm gaining a new insight into this...
Instruction cycle
I've been patient long enough
Now it's time to blaze a trail

[Chorus:]
I'll do it my way
Stay behind the fence and learn
Now do it your way
Show me off your best talents

Brace yourself
Decadence comes again
Don't let it win

You have it within
Don't let the force slip out of your hands
In this starless twilight
Will you be up to the task?

[Solo]

All you've been craving for
Comes into sight just in front...
Of your eyes
No place for the diffidence
All the progress must be shown...
Self restyling

[Chorus:]
I'll do it my way
Stay behind the fence and learn
Now do it your way
Show me off your best talents

[Chorus:]
I'll do it my way
Stay behind the fence and learn
Now do it your way
Show me off your best talents

7. Lost In Oblivion

When you first found me
I was a grub
Suffocated in silk
A bud that couldn't blossom
A poor snail trapped in its shell

Your innocence
And purity
Were wiser than all my experience
And when I tried your elixir
I thought to myself
That was the only way I could subsist

[Chorus:]
I feel I'm lost in oblivion
The thought of you and me
I fear it could be
A simple shard inside your trunk
My aura stars to wilt
And now I'm alone
Could I fly on my own?

Obliged to be the commander
Nothing to justify the absence

[Chorus:]
I feel I'm lost in oblivion
The thought of you and me
I fear it could be
A simple shard inside your trunk
My aura stars to wilt
And now I'm alone
Could I fly on my own?

You saw the worst in me
And then you vanished without trace
I've been chasing you
I hope next time I'll be wiser
I feel I'm lost in oblivion!

[Chorus:]
I feel I'm lost in oblivion
The thought of you and me
I fear it could be
A simple shard inside your trunk
My aura starts to wilt
And now I'm alone
I can fly on my own!

8. Decoding Reality

(Anchored to a state...)
(... Of existential stagnation)
(Liberty shut in a strong box)
(It's time to enter the code!)

Let's go back to the starting point
When it all had a meaning
Are we really a chosen breed or just
An accident that only brings dust?

Our conscience's so numb
Inside a programmed mind
Mysteries should be felt
Without the mind's veil

[Chorus:]
I got a feeling
That something's gonna be found out
Disclose the secrets
Isolated for so long

Our existence has been filled up with
Unnatural codes and beliefs
Have we really forgotten who we are?
Don't give a chance to the fake mask

Our conscience's so numb
Inside a programmed mind
Mysteries should be felt
Without the mind's veil

[Chorus:]
I got a feeling
That something's gonna be found out
Disclose the secrets
Isolated for so long

Achored to a state of existential stagnation
Liberty shut in a strong box
Enter the code

[Chorus:]
I got a feeling
I got a feeling
That something's gonna be found out
Disclose the secrets
Isolated for so long

Disclose the secrets
Isolated for so long

9. Dare To Cross

Dejected I walked through this
Eternal row
Now I know the answer
How to climb to the top
Limited by my insecurities
I couldn't take control
Consumed in silence
My ego checked me so
When I was on the edge
I always show doubt

[Chorus:]
Yesterday I was trembling
Behind an opened door
Today I leap at the chances one by one
I grab them one by one

Negation is not gonna be
A part of me anymore
Disaffiliating from what delays me
To get the correct role

[Chorus:]
Yesterday I was trembling
Behind an opened door
Today I leap at the chances one by one
I grab them one by one

Believe me
It's time to break the stone
That doesn't let you react

Believe me
It's time to break the stone
That doesn't let you react

Believe me
It's time to break the stone...

Disaffiliating from what delays me
To get the correct role

[Chorus:]
Yesterday I was trembling
Behind an opened door
Today I leap at the chances one by one
I grab them one by one

[Chorus:]
Yesterday I was trembling
Behind an opened door
Today I leap at the chances...

10. Fall To Drama

I'm going downhill again
Growing weaker
And everything turns against me
Don't pile on the agony
Breathe once again
(Breathe Once again)
Slow down the beating

Just leave me, I need to get rid of
This greedy monster by myself
Please try to understand this
You're sorely wounded
And you may need some help

[Chorus:]
Unified we won't fall again
Let's blend our strengths as a single blow
Concentrate on a thought
With a clear shape
As one we'll strike gold

The hand that feeds you
Holds up the whip that punishes you
The order becomes blurred
You are disconcerted
This faintness
This searing pain
Is killing me
Is drying me
Like a wasting disease

Now feed your mind with conviction
Revive the illusion that holds you up
How can I trust? Everything's decaying
Nothing expected seems to come

[Chorus:]
Unified we won't fall again
Let's blend our strengths as a single blow
Concentrate on a thought
With a clear shape
As one we'll strike gold

Tame the egoistic mind
Know your own darkness
Then you'll deal with anything

We need to renew our old silver crown
What is that you lack?
We must be swift to act

[Solo]

I cast in my lot with you
I took the auguries
I saw us triumph
Let's form a chain right now, right here
Let's modify what fate had in store for us

[Chorus:]
Unified we won't fall again
Let's blend our strengths as a single blow
Concentrate on a thought
With a clear shape
As one we'll strike gold

Suffused with light
We will refine this world
With the old forgotten wisdom

11. Defying The Gods

I can count the grains
In the top of the sandglass
Your game is about to be over
I have learnt to read the signs
Now I'm capable to decode the message

New voices will command
Your portrait will be burnt
We need to shed skin
You've been riding for a fall
Rotten to the core
Your vanity knows no bounds

You show no scruples always devastate
Without counting the cost
You provoke us to action
And actions speak louder than words!

[Chorus:]
Staring at the distance
See bright lights again
Come to built a different end
And then trail away

The picture of...
A new horizon needs...
Needs still to be drawn

Blustery days of faith
Charged with the energy of the storm
We will modify the new land
Fighting till we shot our bolt
Your old rotten roots won't last...
Another winter

[Chorus:]
Staring at the distance
See bright lights again
Come to built a different end
And then trail away

[Chorus:]
Staring at the distance
See bright lights again
Come to built a different end
And then trail away

12. Admire The Clouds

[Bonus Track for Japan Edition]

Always complaining
Whether things are fair or no
Turns you a victim
You've got the excuse
For not participating
For not taking charge
Please make sure you choose well

I rise, I fall
I just keep struggling
Admire the clouds of the storm
With no reproach
I just can't blame them
Cause without them
Our sun wouldn't be a recompense

[Chorus:]
When you banish the deadly sins
You'll be approaching
The sacred flame

Why does the fog
Never seem to drive away?
Maybe it's you that doesn't walk
Step by step
The light will show up the first rays
Patiently you'll realize
The very essential things

I rise, I fall
I just keep struggling
Admire the clouds of the storm
With no reproach
I just can't blame them
Cause without them
Our sun wouldn't be a recompense

[Chorus:]
When you banish the deadly sins
You'll be approaching
The sacred flame
The new vision
Sets you on the right road
Tells you the way to go

Watch your steps
There's no light
You are entering a tunnel
The walls will try to get you
Don't let them middle in your way
The ground is full of cracks
At the end there is a gallery
That can make your mind
Be a torture chamber
Judging your ghosts will set you free

[Chorus:]
When you banish the deadly sins
You'll be approaching
The sacred flame
The new vision
Sets you on the right road
Tells you the way to go

RISE TO FALL page
