Levitation Mindworks - The Map that Showed the Time

An old man sits in front of the mirror
An old man looks in the face of a young
Battered by the years of dreaming and fighting so long

Remembers good times and then disorder
He looked at the shadows run across the border
And then he saw the waters were turning to red

And the world has changed in so many ways
But the thieves in the night they seemed the same
And the soldiers have marched across the town
The fear has been hidden in a black gown
But the blinding lights just cut through the leaves
Brought new day and sent away all the thieves
And the dancing couples swung themselves into oblivion

As the red water flows through your hand
As the wild wind blows over the land
Life disappears like writing in the sand

Where has gone this wonderful grace
Why has the war drawn deep lines on your face
Is this the life what you imagined at this place

And the people has changed in so many ways
But the thieves in the night they seemed the same
And the soldiers have marched across the town
The fear has been hidden in a black gown
But the sun just shone through the leaves
Brought new day and sent away all the thieves
And the dancing couples swung themselves into oblivion

Time fades with all the years, decades, centuries that must pass
Just one thing remains the same: the place where I lived all of my life
The field where I was born to and hopefully die
The only place that means something in this insane world
And you say now I have to go.
Tell me: Where does this hate come from, my friend?

Childhood's end has come and claimed its price
The battle will rage on and demand from you a slice
Waking to a nightmare seeing flesh and bone
Maybe in the end you will be all alone

Tell me where you want to run and want to hide
The life has changed like the map that showed our time

Your friends are gone and you have nowhere to go
Diving into the deep waters you'll be overflown

Tell me where you want to run and want to hide
The life has changed like the map that showed our time

They came one early morning
Without a cause, without a warning
There was greed and hunger in their eyes

They swarmed every place, every corner
They grabbed the hope and the order
And they took away everything from our mind

Then I saw pictures painted in blood
Bodies washed away by the flood
And the children were looking into cold eyes

Here left the pain, the faith, the sorrow
They told us there won't be tomorrow
We had to sleep under thundering skies

Fragments of freedom were buried underground
And we couldn't find any reason
The black paints over the perfect bright white
Everything will turn into grey season
And slowly again we fall into the arms of the revolution

Sometimes we just wonder
Sometimes we are just horrified
Why does this desert look beautiful to their eyes

They came one early morning
Without a cause, without a warning
There was greed and hunger in their mind

They tore down places they may never heard of
They stare into the void of another time
Ruthless raging and pointless craving for the world
And this war shines in its prime
And slowly again we fall into the arms of the revolution

The storm has gone
The crystal clear waters
Washed away the madness
From the bright blue skies

It's all been spoken
Even the untold stories
In the infinite solitude
In the deafening silence
