On another world they live and breathe Carry out their lives in peace and prosperity On another world they work and dream The live their lives for what might be But lights in the night sky grow closer Illuminating the world in an eerie glow Their blood red skies show a new future Dreading a life they don't want to know Fear and frustration A hopeless situation Panic and terror Seem to fill the air On Another world On another world - In another space A coming conflict from another race On another world - In another time A peaceful people reach the end of the line On another world - In another day The invaders look for a place to stay And now they pray for a way out And not they pray for no end On another world Where humans are coming To take the world From those succumbing

We saw it in the night sky like a beacon of hope This small planet seemed too good to be true We've left our own planet at the end of its rope So we were sent here, the proud and the few With all our guns blazing we came in hot And killed everything that moved This planet's life just an afterthought The end of their lives pre-approved The children of destiny have come to live This planet has so much that it can give The children of destiny have claimed this land Even now these people will die by our hand The orders we have are to send back home All that can be used by our own people But we really like this new world we roam So we will stay here, away from their evil The children of destiny are never going back To the planet where so much we lacked The children of destiny are here forever And here we will stay, come whatever may With so few among us we will live in comfort With the red skies above and the ground below We don't need any of their support We will help make life on this planet grow

The ones in charge, selected by profession From the people that sent them on this journey Soon made ruling their new obsession Among their people who were still learning The chemist, with his knowledge of all building The scholar, in his chair he would teach The planter, to bring familiar to the surroundings The musician, and artist, this culture would need The new saviors of the world Would their decisions become final? The new saviors of the world To these people, they'd be idols Restoring the Citadel to it's former glory The Chemist creates a system for weather And as the years passed, becoming wiser Nurtured by the love of his Soulfire The new saviors of the world They would rule so fair The new saviors of the world All of this land is theirs

She is to me, every little thing The more I see, the more I dream Her very soul I do admire For her, I think my soul's on fire She makes me smile, she makes me feel new When I see her face, I imagine her embrace And she's the only thing that I desire For her my soul's on fire I can face almost anything Knowing that she's by my side I can face the haunted screams I've got nothing left to hide I could be happy all of my life As long as I know that she's here I will release my pain and strife With her there's nothing I can fear She makes my heart want to beat The more I know, the more I believe She's the only thing that I desire Because for her my soul's on fire She is to me, every little thing The more she shows, the more I know That she's my every loving dream And for her I can feel my soul on fire

The Artist 05:39
She stands upon her balcony Gazing out at the world they stole To her, these children of destiny She will play her starring role She will teach them art and keep them whole If she is to redeem her damned soul She will share with them her chosen gift And they'll come to love The Artist The look on her face may be one of love But the darkness she hides inside The smile that never reaches her eyes She may carry herself with warmth and grace But the hate deep in her heart Is the fuel that feeds her art The Artist appears above them all And asks that they work, and sacrifice She will see them rise, and make them fall And work away their too short lives She has no use for the music man And the scholar is just a waste of space The planter, at her side he'll stand But the Chemist is her hidden ace

Time marches on like a soldier on parade We all grow older with each passing day Sorrow in our hearts for those left behind And still we made the choice to stay This too small planet has become our home But there's something missing in our life It's all we can do, to do as we're told And we pray to the spirit in the night Because after all is said and done And the blood that we spilled has dried We'll always be the chosen ones Who set all of our fears aside Long ago we were the Children of Destiny But those olden days have passed us by And though we feel so lost and alone We have offered our souls up to the light Because after all is said and done And the working day rises with the sun We'll always be the chosen ones Who chose to fight and not to run We may be judged for our choices But we've made peace with our fate And none can silence screaming voices We live with our consuming hate
9.
To live and breathe we take the chance To die another day To be part of some old cosmic dance Before we pass away But if we don't have to die To transcend to another state of mind We won't face utopia in the sky Or leave the hell far behind With the light of immortality We could live forever Bathed in the light of immortality Its shine could be our savior To pave the way for our forever I could find the final cure To forget the concept of never We could live forever-more And if we don't have to die And see our lives fly by Just think of all we could do The differences we could make With the light of immortality We could be anything And on this brave new world We could live to be so free With the light of immortality

about

"The Children of Destiny" is the beginning of the story that we started with our last album, "The Price of Immortality". It is a story about how terrible the human race can be.
