1.	Nova (EpsyloN) 07:06	lyrics
NOVA (EpsyloN) It all began as a teen And I started playing guitar Through the sky of my brain These melodies popped up like stars Was it Death? Was it Black? I didn't set for one style "I guess I will just play whatever the fuck I want" Gothic? Symphonic? Power? Progressive? Why not all of them? Watch it hatching My new son A new Sun A new song "They should sound like That band Nightwish She should sing like Sonya Scarlet We always need to classify And force our labels On all these new starlets" Listen kid I wrote these as I pleased To make happy no other than me Watch me write this With a Hammond! Chorus: Will these songs ever see the light of day? I've never been this sad EpsyloN you're this dream of mine Fall and rise But never die Will we ever play songs live again? If not I'd be so bad EpsyloN's what I cling on to in life Fall and rise But never die Now that I'm leaving The whole thing is in danger I promise I'll be back Don't be a stranger Now that I'm back This shit's so hard No love for bards My dream is ending Before I even tried My dream is ending I can’t just let it die This time I'll get it right This time I'll fight I wrote songs about manga Or about history I wrote even for assholes Who don't deserve to breathe So I'm reusing this riff To say "FUCK YOU PRICK!" Chorus: Will these songs ever see the light of day? I've never been this sad EpsyloN you're this dream of mine Fall and rise But never die Chorus: Will these songs ever see the light of day? I've never been this sad EpsyloN you're this dream of mine Fall and rise But never die Will we ever play songs live again? If not I'd be so bad EpsyloN's what I cling on to in life Fall and rise But never die
2.	I F.L.Y. 2 04:45	lyrics
I F.L.Y 2 Free for a change of seasons I have my reasons Not sure if we should Pain is at the end Black and white Dark and bright How to combine two different poles Two different worlds Assured collision Shy phone calls and translations That's how I heard it for the first time: Chorus: And I F.L.Y. tonight And I will until we die Everything's fine by your side I F.L.Y. One kiss It's all like a dream Ten days so charming Their end distress me Will we meet again? Truth and lies Seer and blind We roam the streets of the unknown A city full of contradictions God, I know this won't work and I won't let this chance pass by Chorus: 'Cause I F.L.Y. tonight And I will until we die Everything's fine by your side I F.L.Y. Chorus: And I F.L.Y. tonight And I will until we die Everything's fine by your side And I... And I F.L.Y. tonight And I will until we die I will survive if you are mine I F.L.Y. I Fucking L. Y. too...
3.	Dreams Falling 04:34	lyrics
DREAMS FALLING Is this New Tomorrow? It does not quite feel or look like I thought it would by now This is all I wanted And still I cannot stop this feeling of being a failure somehow I thought I had something That I was getting somewhere Just a matter of when ‘Cause I knew the how Now I see it crumbling As it slips right through my hands Taken over by thoughts Of giving up Chorus: All dreams are falling apart I want to keep them together For some more time All good things in my life Are eventually pushed away By me 'til they go bye-bye EpsyloN is fading-out And seems like I am going to Let it die without even trying This void is demanding Never ending hunger Always dissatisfied No matter what If there's a single chance Of ruining what I have built Be sure I'll find a way To fuck it up Chorus: All dreams are falling apart I want to keep them together For some more time More time
4.	Unspecial 04:14	lyrics
UNSPECIAL You’re unspecial, oh yeah Just like the others are as well Drop the weights That’s right, you’re not perfect Is there something wrong with me? WHAT DID GO WRONG? I did all the things I thought needed to be done I don’t like the way things are CAN’T MAKE IT STOP! I guess I just should not give a shit anymore This harsh truth hurts making all thoughts race in my head Why did I think this way? I’m some sheep in wolf skin A full time fake Chorus: You’re unspecial, oh yeah Just like the others are as well Drop the weights That’s right, you’re not perfect You’re unspecial, oh yeah Not worse nor better than the rest We’re the same, don’t care for what they expect You don’t like the things I do? “Play? Sing? Write? Draw?” Doesn’t mean you can ruin them for me SO FUCK YOU Fifth stage of grief What a relief Acceptance reigns Nothing great about my brain Mediocre A joker That’s my terrain Chorus: You’re unspecial, oh yeah Just like the others are as well Drop the weights That’s right, you’re not perfect You’re unspecial, oh yeah Not worse nor better than the rest We’re the same, don’t care for what they expect That’s right! You’re not perfect! Don’t care for what they expect! Don’t you care for what they expect! Don’t you care for what they expect!
5.	Matter 05:25	lyrics
MATTER Think of us as single small atoms Attracted and repulsed bits: electrons and protons So how come all these things just Don't fall apart? Somehow we manage to remain whole Whole... How did these atoms come from so far? Each was made in very different stars Then this crushing gravity starts to fuse us and Chorus: I can’t believe what I’m seeing This can’t be right I was a fool Time after time Why would you give me Chance after chance It doesn’t make sense And I let my hurt self Fall down your odds Here’s my New Tomorrow Cleansing my sorrows Things fall into place I'm no longer just star fuel I transcended hydrogen Helium, lithium, nitrogen... An organic polycule An elemental hard-on We form life as we gather Far more than just some hadrons I'm Father I'm Mother Once highly energized photons Massless, went ever-further God's touch, enter Higgs Boson I'm matter I matter "E is equal to M by C squared" "E is equal to M by C squared" Hard to believe I deserve this life Is it all just chemistry? 'Cause... Chorus: I can’t believe what I’m seeing This can’t be right I was a fool Time after time Why would you give me Chance after chance It doesn’t make sense And I let my hurt self Fall down your odds Here’s my New Tomorrow Cleansing my sorrows Things fall into place Oh... As I’m becoming matter Unscattered and whole Nucleosynthesis We fuse to become Some One I’m No One no more My New Tomorrow’s here
6.	Sun 05:15	lyrics
SUN Every time you receive me Seems like the very first day Dressed in colored fur And just as I open the door I find love like dreams tell us it should be You got it forevermore Chorus: Now it is Sunday We're playing in the garden Laughing and smiling The past has come to an end You’re like the Sun bringing light rays every morning I'd go to Mars for you By your side I will be Someone... I know you'd never leave me So I let you lead the way Along the riverside I look into your eyes And I find this life Like dreams tell us it should be That never ends Like fantasies made true, yes All the grief and this pain are no more here You erase them Cleansing me Chorus: Now it is Sunday We're playing in the garden Laughing and smiling The past has come to an end You’re like the Sun brings light rays every morning I'd go to Mars for you By your side I will be Someone...
7.	The Last Waltz 05:39	lyrics
THE LAST WALTZ What was the date we started this Ball? I can't remember Most things are blurred or not there at all But you won't surrender There I go Not alone nor on my own But I don't think I can do this Anymore Chorus: Please hold my hand once again 'cause I know that I'm draining away So let's dance the last waltz Grief in my head Tears like rain I can't hold them You're fading away So let's dance the last waltz I'm in the hands of this mind-theft Broken-in, plundered I'm holding to the few things left That are still there And in those thoughts we are still young Blessed in the love we had I wonder what more could I've done for you I wonder what have I done in life Words never said Words I wanted you to hear Words I wanted to say There I go All alone On my own Then it sinks... It’s the end of us Forevermore Chorus: Please hold my hand once again 'cause I know that I'm draining away So let's dance the last waltz Grief in my head Tears like rain I can't hold them You're fading away So let's dance the last waltz The last remains of what I was float in the darkness An empty shell without a cause I beg you, make it stop "And as the power turns off everything is emptiness There is no tunnel, no light It feels like the vastness of space that I gazed as a child" So I rise to the sky Like a star... This is how I die...
8.	Testament: For the Dying Earth 08:05	lyrics
TESTAMENT: FOR THE DYING EARTH "If you read these words It means that I've already left this world A place I can't recognize" "And I leave behind nothing but tears and ash A waste of time... A waste of time... To live To die To make this Earth a living hell and still much less than what you'll find" "That's the way of mankind We take and take even when we die" "Our Mother is dying Oceans drowning in the filth and trash we dump A climate crisis And we did nothing wondering how much it'd cost" "Hate and fascism Rising as the ignorant didn't care at all We were selfish when we needed to take care of each other most" "The 1% owns and hoards almost a half of all there is with our consent When we should be rolling their heads down the street But all we do is to just look away So the blame is in our hands I... I... I was just as guilty as the rest" "And you? What will you do while the Earth needs your help? Will you listen to this song and do nothing Nothing more?" Chorus: "Will the Sun shine there? Will life be a nightmare? Or will our children smile again? Will you hear this, my song? Last song, last chance to save the world For the dying Earth" "The seas are lost The trees are gone The animals won't exist for long The world we know was built with blood of those who can't dream of a home Those cool shirts of your band Sure made by little children hands As were the shoes you wear How can we sleep? How can we eat? How can we live when not far from here Less than three hours by plane our neighbors live in hell? And then commotion when they cross the ocean in a quest for hope A deadly road They're risking their lives Their children's and their wives' We really deserve to be punished for our crimes one of these days" Chorus: "Will the Sun shine there? Will life be a nightmare? Or will our children smile again? Will you hear this, my song? Last song, last chance to save the world For the dying Earth Lovely Earth" Guitar solo: Feat. Darío Peña Chorus: "Will the Sun shine there? Will life be a nightmare? Or will our children smile again? Will you hear this, my song? Last song, last chance to save the world For the dying Earth" "No One at birth And I was still No One at the end This is my last will: Feed my body to the Earth" As No One lived No One sang No One whined No One died Now you're free Rest in peace Because this is the end of The Story of No One
