Fly with me on a starlit sky
I'll set you free... Yes, it can be
A dream unchased is a life at waste
Never let them conquer your pride
Our love is warm here
Like the image of a distant sun
This star will always shine
And never, ever fade away
Fly on... Silverwing
Fly with me... Stay free... Silverwing
Seeking truths in spirit skies
Which one of you will guide me tonight?
The milky way tastes sour,
Has heaven lost its power?
So let us set sail on this sea of dreams
The moon gets lost in the morning sun
Just let the spinning wheel spin
And let your life begin
From the womb, to the tomb
An eternal struggle for the holy truth
We are not the first, nor shall we be the last
We shall be followed by thousands more
Study the scriptures - Intensify the faith
The works of men much greater than you or I
From the cradle to the grave
Thousands of immortal souls just waiting to be saved!
Pilgrim man - What are you searching for?
Believe the tales when everything else fails
Pilgrim man - Deep in your heart you know
Your faith is already bought and sold
All my life I served the cross
Always believing my God was a just one
I maimed for you - I killed for you
But looking back at my life
I just don't know anymore...
An eternal struggle for the holy truth
We are not the first, nor shall we be the last
We shall be followed by thousands more
Study the scriptures - Intensify the faith
The works of men much greater than you or I
From the cradle to the grave
Thousands of immortal souls just waiting to be saved!
Pilgrim man - What are you searching for?
Believe the tales when everything else fails
Pilgrim man - Deep in your heart you know
Your faith is already bought and sold
All my life I served the cross
Always believing my God was a just one
I maimed for you - I killed for you
But looking back at my life
I just don't know anymore...
Spiritual Isolation - The ultimate frustration
Scratch the surface, tuurn another page
The ugly truth or another pretty lie
You deceived me, I believed you
Why did everything go...
So wrong...
For so long...
So the truth comes out at last
I'm dead inside
(I'm burning up)
A hollow shell
(My private hell)
In my own misery
You leave me to dwell
Then we were young and strong
Now everything is wrong
Did you want me, did you need me
Could you not say you believed me?
Everything we had is gone...
Like an old forgotten song
The deceiver and believer
Now everything is...
So wrong... for so long.

This liquid vision of euphoria
Living a life on borrowed time
Paying the price of immortality
Desperately avoiding our fate
Lead me through the halls of tortured souls
Alone, forlorn... human dignity dethroned
Forevermore - A life never ending
Time stands still as the immortals keep on breeding
The future is locked within us
All we need is the key
Crying at the fountain of youth
Eternal life is killing me
Triumphant in chariots they ride
On this arena of the undead
Anoher lap of honour for the...
Vacant galleries
Lead me through the halls of tortured souls
Alone, forlorn... human dignity dethroned
Forevermore - A life never ending
Time stands still as the immortals keep on breeding
Living a life on borrowed time
Paying the price of immortality
Desperately avoiding our fate
Lead me through the halls of tortured souls
Alone, forlorn... human dignity dethroned

Trapped in a downward spiral of pain
Horrific memories, your life flashing by
There is no life left for you to live
You've had your share and more
Act of transfusion - blood child!
Transmigrate into the future or the past
Eternal damnation awaits you my love
In the kingdom of the sick and the rotting dead
You will suffer excruciating pain
You shall now reap the twisted fruit
Of what you once sowed
Transparent - revealing the lies
Transmutation - What you have become
Act of transfusion - blood child!
Transmigrate into the future or the past
[Chorus:] Transmigration macabre
[1st Lead - Michael]

Dark shadows from above
Ravens fly, obliterate the sun
It's a sign of the devil.
He will come for his servant tonight
These are dark times
Suspicious minds breed like rats
Guardians of corrupt morality
Spread their filthy lies
Am I to burn
I have not sinned!
Burnt at the stake.
Innocent blood that can never be washed clean
The flames of ignorance
Grow higher and higher
Licking my flesh - burning my soul
The raven laughing in the moon
These are dark times
Suspicious minds breed like rats.
Guardians of corrupt morality
Spread their filthy lies again...
Ravens fly, obliterate the sun
It's a sign of the devil.
He will come for his servant tonight
These are dark times
Suspicious minds breed like rats
Guardians of corrupt morality
Spread their filthy lies
Am I to burn
I have not sinned!
Burnt at the stake.
Innocent blood that can never be washed clean
The flames of ignorance
Grow higher and higher
Licking my flesh - burning my soul
The raven laughing in the moon
These are dark times
Suspicious minds breed like rats.
Guardians of corrupt morality
Spread their filthy lies again...
welcome to the circus
leave your brain outside
sit back - relax
as we feed you lies
spoon fed stimulation
glittering fashion fascination
you are lost in the game
media corruption
you'll be amused
by the things we do to you
but in the bitter end
the clown is you
end of the line
you sold your soul
for a better life
you are better off dead
you had one life
you had one shot
you blew it
and you knew it
the rot sets in
no self control
at the end of the line
you play the fool
leave your brain outside
sit back - relax
as we feed you lies
spoon fed stimulation
glittering fashion fascination
you are lost in the game
media corruption
you'll be amused
by the things we do to you
but in the bitter end
the clown is you
end of the line
you sold your soul
for a better life
you are better off dead
you had one life
you had one shot
you blew it
and you knew it
the rot sets in
no self control
at the end of the line
you play the fool
