Kingdom of Heaven (”A New Age Dawns - Part V”)

[I. Hold in Derision]

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Mark Jansen]
Pioneering, big breakthroughs
Proceeded by the opposition
Hold in derision all that's new
Afraid to lose their own esteem

[Pre-Chorus: Simone Simons]
Scorn shall be directed at the genius
Represses subtle theories of the light
To the questions of life

[Chorus]
Quantum physics lead us to
Answers to the great taboos
We create the world around us
God is every living soul

[Verse 2: Mark Jansen]
Science, spirituality
Will have to meet along the way and
We need new drifts, another view
Expand our grip on the cryptic soul

[Pre-Chorus: Simone Simons]
Scorn shall be directed at the genius
Represses subtle theories of the light
To the questions of life

[Chorus]
Quantum physics lead us to
Answers to the great taboos
We create the world around us
God is every living soul

[Spoken Interlude]
"Hope is more than a postponed disappointment."

Non intellegens nil explicas
Videre nolens nil capies
Non intellegens nil explicas
Incognita non vides

Open your Sahasrara

[II. Children of the Light]

[Simone Simons]
Light creates us all
Pride will make us fall
Life is meaningful
Life delights us all

Light creates us all
Pride divides us all
Life is meaningful
The soul survives us all

Misled by science
Our wake up call
Conditioning cannot fool us 'till the end

Light creates us all
Pride will make us fall
Life is meaningful
Life delights us all

Light creates us all
Pride divides us all
Life is meaningful
The soul survives us all

[III. Bardo Thödol]

[Simone Simons]
Guide us safely through the gates of death

[Instrumental Break]

[IV. Paragons of Perfection]

[Simone Simons]
Nothing here will be the same
I'll see the world through different eyes and
I was given clarity
And the wisdom I can't deny

All that we can never see
Until we leave this frail existence
It's just a shadow of reality
Death is not the final instance

[Spoken Interlude]
"It's not your time
You have to go back. Back!
Now!"

"No, no, I-I don't want to return!
Please, let me stay here, don't-don't make me go back!"

"Go back! You've got work to do."

[Mark Jansen]
We're not alone, we are all one

[Guitar Solo]

[Simone Simons]
Nothing here will be the same
The smallest bit is as big as nature
Our limited capacities
Give us trouble to comprehend

We are linked in every way
And we're strong as our weakest fragment
Every word that we convey
Is an act with consequences

[V. The Harsh Return]

[Outro: Simone Simons]
Misled by science
Our wake up call
Conditioning cannot fool us 'till the end

Light creates us all
Pride will make us fall
Life is meaningful
Life delights us all

Light creates us all
Pride divides us all
Life is meaningful
The soul survives us all

Greed will make us fall
Light will bind us all!
