Dances of Death - Mekong Delta

B) Eruption

C) Beyond The Gates

Time — passing as the world

changed its face

Past — all that used to be not a trace

Now — all that was is gone

can’t you see

Always questions

What — happened to our world

different now

Why — answers can’t be found

tell me now

Now — dissolution is all I see

As I meandered this world I saw strange faces

I’ve seen some gastly bizarre phenomenon

Such desolation and pain I can’t describe it

But always something was there that led me on

Never saw a place like this

How can such a place exist

Brotherhood of happiness

Inviting me I can’t resist

How can such a thing exist

Inviting me I can’t resist

Never saw a place like this

Never saw a …

The priests gave us reason

Brought hope to our season

They gave us the will to survive

It’s healthy and clean here

It’s just like a dream here

Just thank the priests you’re alive

I had a vision — then it was gone

Something there I just can’t put my finger on

Crys — from the other side

calling me

Lies — message from beyond

curse the priests

Why — I don’t understand

Share the feast

Cataclysmic

Dark — figures in the midst

help denied

Death — tightening it’s fist

no reply

Rage — tell me what is this

paradox

And as the people all dance in celebration

They seem so happy and so preoccupied

Somehow I don’t understand this fascination

I think it all will be clear when I’m inside

Where did all these priests come from

What kind of men have you become

Serve and never question why

Worship Talons from the sky

What lies beyond the golden gate

A journey of uncertain fate

Serve and never question why

Serve and never question why

Question why

It’s nicer than nice here

A real paradise here

It’s really too good to believe

There’s growing in knowing

And that’s where I’m going

The gates are prepared to receive,

receive … me

D) Outburst

E) Days Of Betrayal

Gates far behind

Priests out of mind

Endless the night

Nocturnal flight

Eyes in the dark

Wait for the spark

Waste everywhere…

Peril in sight

Pray for the light

Phantoms in black

Mutants attack

Bareskin and bone

Hunger the hone

No apathy

For what I see

The tunnel in the mountainside

Looks like a place to hide

Descending into darkness now

A chamber deep inside

Days of betrayal

Days of betrayal

Days of betrayal

Days of

Automaton

Screen coming on

Ancient machines

What does it mean

Bio chip here

Message of fear

Shocking the view

Morbid and true

A chance to save the human race

Chaos we can avoid

A mighty power out of place

That has to be destroyed

Days of betrayal

Days of betrayal

Days of betrayal

The end of the begining of,

What is but never really was

Now press on and go beyond

I could try a million times,

And cry until the end of time

But it won’t cange a thing

F) Restless

G) Sanctuary

Don’t believe all that you see

'Cause it can never be

Truth could be there in disguise

So never trust your eyes

Wandering aimless through time

Wondering what I will find

So many years on my own

No place I can call home

A dome upon the hill — stare

What can that builing be — sound

I hear a melody — look

That’s my philosophy — wait

The truth is for the brave — and

It’s like a tidal wave now

Entities all dressed in white

No end in sight

Some giants, some little ones

Where are they from

Packed inside this mega-dome

Why have they come

Where are all these giants from

Why have they come

My eyes are playing tricks on me

These things I really can’t believe

They’ve got the heads of human men

And the bodies of machines
