lyrics

Part I – Enlightenment
Extracts from the Declaration of Independence (USA), The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights and Voltaire.

Part II – The Scope of all possibilities
All over this great land we own. We spread hope like a whisper, whisper...
We colonized a brand new world. Let's build a better future.
All over this great land we own. We spread hope like a whisper.
It's time to cross the threshold. Try and see what will occur ?

Part III – A trial by fire
Black... Sweat! Blood... Shed!
And then the time has finally come to show what we've learned from the past.
We hold a great chance to go on and we believe that it will last.
A blank page to write on, long straight lines through the horizon: look at why and how this dream was born.
Hot ink full of black sweat, the embers of our crimes still red.
Liberty cost us so much bloodshed. Let our ideals spread!

A trial by fire... A trial by fire...

Black... Sweat! Blood... Shed !
We're big on talk, it's time to act. Good or evil, seal the pact.
That will ensure this feeble spark of hopeful light won't turn too dark.
A blank page to write on, long straight lines through the horizon: look at why and how this dream was born.
Hot ink full of black sweat, the embers of our crimes still red.
Liberty cost us so much bloodshed. Let our worthy ideals... spread.

Part IV – Written statements and broken promises
Promises, written in blood, made for securing peace , to give justice for all...
Promises, betrayed for gold. ‘Cause when the serpents hiss, you break them one by one.

A chance for mankind. A treasure to find. This straight path leads to redemption.
A dream for the blind. With unquiet minds, we can't all alone keep holding on !

Part V – The seven deadly sins
The tragedy of unfulfilled hopes. Wild flames of new crimes we make.
No more justice, more bloodshed.
The tragedy of unfulfilled hopes. We have been corrupted since our primary seed.
The end justifies the means.
