브라질 출신의 대표적인 멜로딕 스피드 메틀 밴드 앙그라가 98년에 발표했던 네 번째 앨범. 전매특허인 스피디함과 함께 슬로우 템포의 곡들의 유기적인 구성은 앨범 자체를 무척이나 드라마틱하게 이끌고 있다. 앙그라가 지닌 파워와 스피드, 드라마틱한 구성을 모두 경험할 수 있는 명곡 “Mystery Machine"등 앙그라의 일련의 앨범 가운데에서도 손꼽힐만한 연주력과 파워를 지니고 있다.
Day by day Wheels keep turning around And everynight Many restless creatures longing for the dawn To heal away Their eternal pain...
Hope the saints arrive Bringng the signs Of treasures to be found Now we walk alone And we've got to know The secrets all around
Breaking our hearts of stone, Tasting our lives, Setting us free to decide...
"Wings of Reality, Take me higher and higher Show me the way to be Free forever with you... I guess I've found my way Everyday growing stronger So many words to say, So many things to do..."
The ghosts get closer to my fears A beast has awakened here inside... All we don't know, nobody knows!
We're armed and ready to attack To strike the city of all desires Then calm the waves that lead to passion When all reality turns back to ashes
Over the hills, across the sea Into the abyss of a bygone time Lest we forget what really matters And the bewildered look up to the sky Fallen comrades lay on the ground Victors in death they make no sound
Petrify my eyes Behold the sights of battle lost In this unchanging world What does the poor life of a warrior cost?
Oh can't you see Many faces from God's own races are waiting To fight the good fight Even thought the animals of time have passed you by you still don't see Oh, you won't see They've petrified your eyes
Deep desires of mine Dark thoughts tirannize my mind When will this torture end Into the mire, to battle again
You live in a world that is just Way too strange to conceive Angel's dressed in black Most of the people who seem to be Lost in the dark - Are they all too real?
Always a good time, never lonely Suddenly realized the blood red tears from my eyes There was nothing much I could do But watch you die
Time after time Burnt your wings on the sun Metal Icarus
First time I met you I wanted To be by your side And let my hair grow long Those days are gone But I still fly by night Bringing life to the dead
Even through times when I felt lonely Suddenly realized the blood red tears from my eyes There was nothing much I could do But watch you die
Time after time Burnt your wings on the sun Metal Icarus Night after night Upon forces unknown Metal Icarus
Ah! Those were the years I can still feel the windy heights Against my skin And if I close my eyes I'm flying over hills!
The sun rises over the tide Waves breaking over the rocks Again and again like an echo From the mountine tops
This feeling you just can't hide Like an open page revealed for all to see You breathe hard, Like the sea breeze coming in Hold your arms to the sky
Don't let clouds hide the sun Don't runaway cos' you can't hide from thunder Cold sweat glistening on your brow The rains will come crashing down
A million voices sing out loud again tonight As the mysteries of life begin to unfold Master of fate you're the only one who knows Machine of mystery roles on
It's New Year Day; Looking up to the sky We all await for the fireworks to fly And I hold you And I stand by you now...
Over the bay darkness breaks to a glow But still the sands keep on running too slow And I love you And I care for you now...
Green comes after white Night turns to day into the fire Look at our dreams flying away Climbing up higher
Along the shore timeless faces reflect The innocence of childhood never left And I miss you And I cry for you now
Green comes after white Night turns to day into the fire Look at our dreams flying away Climbing up higher
And the ones who we trust And the moments of joy Mirrored there is a glow That will dazzle our eyes
Here is my heart, in my soul Sharing the miracle of Hope In my heart, in my mind, in my soul... Stay hand in hand, stay with me Love is the keys to believe In our hearts, in our minds, in our souls!
...But now no matter what I say, Just look at the fireworks!
Living a dream just for one night Feels like the last day of my life Roaming somewhere just for a while When all the feelings lay dorment inside Here we go, marching on...
Unconsciously far from this world We're knowing foundations of all in such extreme virtuality All we don't need is the proof to believe
Here we go, marching ahead Buried deep in the sand...
I recognize this place, All those faces, all these scenes Though I'm so often there It's somewhere I've never been (Over and over again)
