Haken - Visions lyrics

"What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story. And the greatest good is little enough, for all life is a dream and dreams themselves are only dreams..." "We have all some experience of a feeling, that comes over us occasionally, of what we are saying and doing having been said and done before, in a remote time - of our having been surrounded, dim ages ago, by the same faces, objects, and circumstances - of our knowing perfectly what will be said next, as if we suddenly remember it!" Spirits of the night Communicate with me Their visions of a future Of what is yet to be As I see the way I die And I try to change it I am running short of time I'll just sit here waiting 'Til the moment comes around Like I've been here once before And I'm questioning the truth No escaping déjà vu "There is a drowsy state, between sleeping and waking, when you dream more in five minutes with your eyes half open, and yourself half conscious of everything that is pa**ing around you than you would in five nights with your eyes fast closed, and your senses wrapt in perfect unconsciousness." "Dreams are real as long as they last. Can we say more of life?" If I could harness this power Assume absolute control Of my visions from a future No one will ever know That I've seen the day you die And I tried to change it You are running short of time You'll just sit there waiting 'Til the moment comes around Like you've been there once before And you're questioning the truth No escaping déjà vu 'Til the moment comes around Like you've been there once before And there's nothing left to lose No escaping déjà vu Faces become strangely familiar Stumbling upon traces of my visions Now I see a shadow of a man In my silhouette he stands The wisdom of my premonition comes to life! I was just a kid back then but now I'm back to take revenge I sternly look my k**er in the eye I'm out for satisfaction when I'm suddenly distracted By the silent cries that echo in the streets My finger pulls the trigger With my whole life left to figure if the boy I accidentally k**ed was me Voices become strangely deceiving Gravity's pull has zero effect on me Now the moment's finally here And it feels just like before Only now I face the truth I will have to wait no more Will this ever end? I've been through enough This is the part where I wake up with blood on my hands Traveling back to where it all began As for the boy, it pleased me to know That he'll just wake up nine years old, alone and afraid He'll live for the day this moment comes around again Now the moment's finally here And it feels just like before Even now I know the truth I accept my fate no more I bet you don't remember me I guess you won't forget The only way to go When there is nowhere left to roam Scenes from someone else's lifetime Flash like bright lights before my eyes Scenes from someone else's lifetime Flash like bright lights in my eyes From the beginning I never dreamt I was the k**er Over the edge, falling in and out of time Yeah the moment pa**ed us by And it felt just like before As I leave this world behind I know I'll come back for more
