Otherland
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They rule the land
They are in command
They hold all strings in hand
They are invisible
Out of sight
They´ve designed
A secret place
To play their games
A world, they´re in control
Divine law (x2)
Be aware
Now
Mind your steps
We are uninvited guests,
They may find and catch us
Don´t forget
Do what I say
Now connect
Don't even ask
Until we're out of it
Everything's at highest stake
Come take a look,
We are in,
Take a breath but don´t forget,
It isn't real, It isn't true,
An illusion nothing more
You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind
Oblivion
Is your key to the Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
By now you understand
You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind
Oblivion
You're welcome to the
Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
By now you understand
We get closer
There´s no better way
Lullaby Lane
Fate is on its way
The inner district
Is the place you need to know
It´s overwhelming
So let´s rest here for a while
Someone else appears
Silently
Watch me when I fall down
Everything seems real
Suddenly
A perfect simulation
Come take a look,
breathe it in,
Artificial wonderlands,
We are wandering around,
Things shall vanish,
They won´t last
Now I know
You understand
This world is not true
Nothing is real
Nothing at all
It´s bits an pieces
We walk through
You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind
Oblivion
Is your key to the Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
By now you understand
You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind
Oblivion
You've reached the promised land
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
Welcome to the Otherland
Solo
Wait
I can feel things are not right,
Do not breathe
Don´t look behind,
There´s someone else,
The observer
A trick of light,
A fading line,
The entrance gone,
We can´t get out of it,
We are slightly losing ground
Quick
It is time,
We shall go,
We better leave
And don´t come back,
No way to run,
Nowhere to hide,
We're walking aimlessly
You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind
Oblivion
Welcome to the Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
You've reached
The promised land
You've crossed the line
You've reached the end
You've crossed the line
You've reached the end
