Arjen Anthony Lucassen - The New Real скачать mp3

"Just a few ancient questions left. Mr. L. What the hell is real? Who am i and why not? Why don’t we smell the roses anymore? When do we get another shot? Truly. Madly. Magic sun and moon and from sand to dust and dust to earth. Mama. Yours… Voight-Kampff." [A. GHOSTS] Drifting In a world I don’t belong I miss her, how can i face this life alone? I do remember Like it was yesterday You and me together Back in a different age Reaching for the ghosts haunting my mind Dreaming of the ones I left behind Hopeless… there is nothing I can do Knowing I can never be with you again [B. DEAD OR ALIVE] Why did you bring me back? Like a lab rat in a maze Am i dead or alive? With all these wires stuck in my brain Why did you wake me up? Locked in this virtual jail Why was I revived? Is this all some game? Lost in this maze Locked in this brain So this is the end… Why did you bring me back? Like a lab rat in a maze Or maybe a start Am I dead or alive? With all these wires tuck in my brain So what happens now… Why did you wake me up? Locked in this virual jail Can’t find a way out… Why was i revived? Is this all some game? [C. SYNTHETIC STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS] I could decide to stay here And dream on forevermore To live without the danger And the fear I felt before A life devoid of sadness. No more suffering and pain In a realm of make-believe Within the limts of my brain But can I really fool myself (could I thrive inside this lucid dream?) Into believing I’m still me (in this mind-machine technology) A synthetic state of consciousness (could I be a part of this New Real?) I am therefore I think Could I dream forevermore Without the fear I felt before There’ll be no suffering and pain Within the confines of my brain [D. BLISSFUL IGNORANCE] [Instrumental] [E. A SECOND CHANCE?] I remember dying Fading into black I remember dreaming Of a second chance The New Real – a paradise? Inviting – exciting – a new home The New Real – a web of lies? Confusion – delusion – I am alone The New Real – a golden dream? Serenity – my destiny – a new home The New Real – a cold machine? Mistaken – forsaken – I am alone [F. SWITCH ME OFF] Please switch me off I am sure now I don’t belong In this New Real Please shut me down I am fine now Thanks for the dream You can switch me off Now I know this is not real I can’t trust the way I feel I’m alive… but in a dream Am I only… a machine?
