Change Of Ages 1. Resounding footsteps of fallen illusions Expected end of the symbols of the day Fired rounds are rolling around us And Nobody cares... The small window of thoughts is glowing This doubtful light shows only our retreats It`s time for change, for new beginning But we are afraid... Only hope remainin' Is this the way... RF: Now is the time, when the past and present are crossin' A Thousand souls were born and waiting, waiting for this day! Here is the place, Where kingdoms are rising up and fallin' and leaving legends through the ages- Springs of human's faith. 2. The trusting crowd is screaming out, ready and equipped to dethrone again yesterday's idols are powerless now vacate their posts to the future chosen men This substitution is only the next cycle A new beginning with the well-known end Everything repeats with a different title But how many changes... Until the Heaven’s coming down to the Earth RF: Now I can see The burned down temple of Old Glory it's only a smoking heap of stones left to History... A new Age was born From under relics of the recent past Will the life be in a clover or again in misery...

Behind the veil of oblivion 1.Restless soul Something worries my night dreams Something dipped in my memory Scattered pieces from the past Like birds spinning ‘round my head My restless soul, sunk in darkness Is still searching for the final peace Exile to the end of the days And even on knees it can find the power Even under the weight of a curse it knows... But, all those years of doubts have endowed it with life… Decayed love is wilting in the increasing passion’s will The human faith and honor are rotting now in the vanity. I live among goggle souls, breathing timidly from the sin My broken wings are bleeding wounds, thirsting for flight above the sea. Rf…Even the dust of a thousand nightmares wrapping in mist the Light. Roaming in desert skies, my soul will endure the storms of time. In the dirty hole of our blind trust we put the dreams for our way, Deaf for the wails of our soul, burdened with the games we play. With sly smile of pleasure, we are calling for a future flood, Mucking up our wicked hands with an innocent pure blood. Rf… 2.In front of the gateway – instrumental 3.The dreammakers Slinking in your mind like stealers, killing silence, without fear Undisturbed from the senses Like painters from nowhere, using pictures from your past They create a new reality. You are flying in the sky, you are running - they decide And now you are a part of the game. Like a toy in their hands, you are weak, without defense, I can hear your scream In your dreams. Rf. The dreammakers – expect all your trust The dreammakers – they build up a new world unreal but bright… The dreammakers – are creatures divine The dreammakers – It’s hard to get that out of your mind, when you sleep. Labyrinths of stones I see, screaming forest comes to me Sea of thousands, evil, gazing eyes. Awakened spell - my thoughts are chained, echoes of enchanted pain a faceless ghost is digging my grave. It seems to me I’ve been here, I know this place, but something reveals À premonition makes me think How can I fly without wings, How I jump from dream to dream… Someone kills me but I am still alive… Rf. The dreammakers – adventures at night The dreammakers – they build up a new world unreal but bright… The dreammakers – they knock on your door The dreammakers – It’s hard to get that out of your mind, when you sleep.

Timeline 04:13
Timeline We run, we fight against each other, we live in our wrong ways One day we’ll try to pray to God to give us one more chance The darkness fills our empty souls and we become slaves But the blind defense just makes us weak We cannot just escape, because the battle is inside And the only way to live is just to fight. The naked truth is crying out and shows the way to live But we are so afraid to see it, the eyes cannot believe. This fear of reality’s confusing our minds Our inner world is just a dirty mirror full of lies… But the battle is inside And the only way to live is just to fight. We think that all we see is everything There is Somebody inside whispering This inner enemy is the strongest one ‘Cause we created it, it will break us down How many centuries do we have to live How many fights do we have to lose and win То take a turn and wake up from this dream Don't wait! Try out! Don't waste your time!

Listen 05:50
Listen to the silence Now I am here quiet and try to hear the silence Feelings slowly go away as if they don’t belong to me Only my peace of mind is left and now I know what is to be one Everythig is looking so clear when the thoughts are gone It seems like I’ve returned again Returned, after a long, long jorney My life from now will never be the same. Quiet...listen... Now is your chance to hear... Listen, listen to the silence... Restlessness fills our daily round in our town Everything tries to steаl our attention So many lights, so much noise around Oh Lord, please take me to another dimension RF: You`ll try to run away from all this madness But the chains of the visible world want you back When you wake up, you will be able to see All the things, all your life, the reasons to be… The peace of a mountain is sharpening your senses A gentle wind blows away your concerns Only sunk into the silence we remember That now our life is only one of the many returns. RF: And maybe now you think that you are going crazy Will you believe that the things will be the same Now you are awake, and you are able to see All the things, all your life, the reasons to be… RF: It’s time to leave the past; it’s time to rise higher Is it so much harder to find who we are? If we are asleep we won’t be able to see All the things, all our lives, the reasons to be…

Secrets 04:46
SECRETS Look around and try to see this beauty The world is full with life and sparkling rays The senses cannot catch even a little part of it The hands are too small to embrace the seas. RF. All the mystics of creation Are hidden deep into the dark, cold space Do you dare, are you brave enough and patient For the hunt of secrets you never face It seem that ancient people know how to live right Always guided by the supernatural lows. But now we are drastically changing things around us, and never change the things in our own souls. RF. All the mystics of creation Are hidden deep in our ancient soul Do you dare, are you brave enough and patient For the hunt of secrets you’ve been never told. We wish the things to be more simple- We search for pleasure every day We try to hide our heads in the sand We put the headphones, we scream: “It’s OK!!!” But the secrets never end (secrets never end) RF. All the mystics of creation The journey starts, there is so much to reveal Do you dare, are you brave enough and patient For the hunt of secrets you ever feel

The way out 06:07
The way out I still have dreams of rising, I still find joy in life Only this time I know, there’s no return. I cross the doorstep and go outside. I’m lost in confusion. My fear screams so loud. I wish this choice could be much easier. I’m holding my future in my hands. I see these walls that close around my passing days, Teaching me to hide behind my fears, But when I beat my head against them I can see My prison is my past, my wasted years. But here I’m protected Outside I will be helpless… I need to get a taste of the spark divine called life, Forget the vapid tales that you call fate. I know the dream to see and feel the world around me Can take me out of my cage. But here I’m protected Outside I will be helpless… I’ve opened the door, tempted by my fancy, A single look outside attracts me. I know the moment I’ve been afraid of At last has come today. Every day, step by step The truth recedes behind our own lies. Only we are allowed to build this cage From the walls of unfulfilled desires. The wheel of fortune is giving me a chance But I just can’t believe that it’s real. Death is always so close behind me Along this road, but I’m guided by the spirit. Since we are born, somebody tells us what the world is We never stop to see it for ourselves. Follow this way, and feel the power of your heart beat. The Force is now your only friend. The beaten track I leave now, I’m strong enough to dream on. My previous life is crying out. At last I found my freedom.

Can't feel 05:15
Can’t feel This violence on the screen This cruelty on the streets The fear’s teeming now on the town When the sun goes down The dark shades are facing me The light is fading My strength is now a slave Of apathy… I wish to fight my laziness I wish to fight delusions But everything I’ve done was to hide away from me… RF: I can’t feel the pain when the blade spears my body I can’t feel the missing of anyone who care I can’t feel the time running through my fingers I can’t feel am I alive or I …just dreaming My angry ME accuses the world For all it’s sins All doing this but that’s the easiest way… I wish to fight my laziness I wish to fight delusions But everything I’ve done was to hide away from me… RF… Choir: Wake up from this endless dreaming Leave the past, the chains will fall. The fading pages of the wisdom Hidden from unready eyes Will sanctify your destiny and the future ways My body‘s still breathing My present life - surrender There is something I lost But I don’t need it now My feelings are so clear now A divine light surrounds me Reborn for the next game, I’m returning back.

about

On this album I wanted to express all my visions and understandings of the contemporary world in a musical way. I think we put into oblivion the real love, friendship, respect for Nature, the environment and etc. We have become more greedy and disrespectful than ever, trying to fill some holes in our souls, but this will not happen with more money and material stuff! We have become blind for those and many other things. So “Behind the Veil of Oblivion” is my small act to “ring a bell” to the audience!
In my opinion we, the contemporary people, forget or don’t have enough time for what is more important for us! Therefore I wanted to remind us all of or accentuate those things! If you read the lyrics of “Secrets”, “Listen (To the Silence)”, “Behind a Veil of Oblivion”, you will get the point. We forgot the beauty of this world and focus more on negativity. We forgot that there are mysteries in the world and begin to think that contemporary science has answers for all of them, as we see in the movies! We prefer to have at least something to “hum” – TV, Radio, or something else instead of having moments of silence and have a look inside us!
