Before anything let me tell you some about myself
My name will not be disclosed at this time
I used to work for major powers that use to rule all of your life
Some time ago I was involved in a very special program
I cannot explain why or how everything happened the way it did
You may have heard something about them
you might want to find out more about
There are some entities among us
instructed to decide what is worth of attention
telling you it's all under control
nothing to worry about you must carry on
So many things
have been told about the sequence of facts that bring us here
I can assure all of you
those events really happened but not quite the way you have heard
My purpose is to bring light to darkness
bring order to the chaos of ignorance and conspiracy

It was an ordinary date
being so immerse in the ocean of existence
buried by the ultimate responsibility
as my eyes made my brain believe
Not imagining what I was listening when they came for me
Well I was driven to a different facility
Expecting to see the most unexpected stories
fantasy, legends turned into reality
There wasn't any artifact worth mentioning to you in here at all
That was before they brought this curious device
Our goal was clear and simple to understand, to comprehend
Since many years ago we've tried to understand the reason why
everything just happens in the way they intend to be
But sometimes wisdom costs lives of brothers unnecessarily
Some ones are lost, burying everything before the incident
and after all was said and done
we're still some children playing in a very ancient park
unable to explain, unable to fully comprehend
just looking mesmerized to the universe
Just looking mesmerized up to the stars
CASCADE OF CHANGES
- Words and music by Claudio Momberg
- Paula Vilches: Vocals
- Claudio Momberg: Keyboards, Guitars.
A loud sound coming from all moving fates
a call we heard to go to a new place away from here
parting from our land, a place so full of memories
take your five stones and your remembering of things to come
Cascade of changes leading to uncertain stories and roads
go from here fulfill your quest
How can you convince your peers
how can you express your truth
countless ways to manifest
the urgency to take this seriously
deaf minds around you are listening
they will discard consequences coming from such ignorance
Cascade of changes you must lead them to uncertain roads
you must fulfill your quest away from home
The system stated this changing face cannot go on
our people seem they just can't see
where they're going to be
Blind people are ruled by completely deaf leaders
they are too scared to change the dark to bright, the power
Cascade of changes must have to fade
DIVINE DECISION

- Juan Ricardo Weiler: Drums.
A small piece of this tangible intelligence
it was needed for the call, it was waiting for its turn
long ago this ever-pulsating entity
began to become conscious, the moment it was born
This unique fragment of carbon demanded conciousness
to evolve, to reason
the resources became limited, the necesity to grow
it found resistance, it found an endless battle
it's a long long time to come, the path from dust to air
There was a vision, a slight moment of sanity
it turned us over, and made us see reality
this conscious being, you could not see
aware of his surroundings, aware of his own existance
it was simply shut down, it was easily forgotten
it never had a real fair choice
There was no vision, no slight moment of sanity
his path was over, there was simply no reality

I've worked with them for many years
I've seen most everything
I've been to many places touched what you should think is fantasy
it was just some ordinary day I received the call of duty
a misplaced visitor was our mission
We spread throughout the complex
I walked towards the closest gate and kept my eyes wide open
Then saw an open vault door, and the guard was missing from his post
I walked inside and the shock...
the blood was splattered gate inside
that’s never a good sign
There were only small pieces of human body parts around
it's only a good reason to get my fire gun ready for the action
I stared around and he was laying down his mind was being consumed
he was ordered to give up, but chose to run away
just fired some warning shots then I saw him pointing something back at me
I was forced to fire to kill
THEM

- Juan Ricardo Weiler: Drums.
They've been coming here for so long
even before we even think about it
They've been watching us for some time they seem to care
They contacted us A small group of us
were we listening to the sky?
We decided to go
the most unbelievable journey
the biggest undertaking
Could we find the end of our chapter?
Could we find a whole new book
There should be impossible
To understand how or why
We were offered such a wonderful gift
and most of us are blind to what really matters
We stayed there for a significant amount of time
we watched them
We lived among them, and I tried to understand our purpose
our destiny
As the years gone one by one
I just made my mind
I won't return

The Sceneplay of the universal stage these days
it comes with well known faces everywhere we see
They walk through a path with many twists and turns
There is a structure supporting what they see
Spending money, Deciding for you
making rules
living your life
before we can approach the wisdom
they will change the plan
We are very sorry to inform about a change within this
Things have gone bad and you must adjust your life in order to survive
so that we can keep living ours
We are going to ask you to exchange comfort for our unfitness
That's the only way we claim to leave where our incompetence has lead
Remember who decided to bring us here
Why this must be like this
is this what trust implies?
is it a reflection of my true self being
or my true dark side?
I let this to happen I could have said no
you laugh at my face you see me do nothing
you chose this to happen you should have said no
I tend to forget so often
and then I will protest again
If you're going to do whatever you want and rule my life above me
I must not forget I have the right and duty to decide what's best
In my hands lies my destiny
