[02:08.02]
[02:31.51] Part 1 (0:00-4:20)
[02:46.29] (instrumental)
[02:53.13]
[03:54.57] Part 2 (4:21-8:44)
[04:18.95]
[05:32.77] I never wanted to become
[05:39.28] Someone like him
[05:43.77] So secure
[05:45.44] Content to live each day
[05:53.80] Just like the last
[05:58.65] I was sure I knew that
[06:03.64] this was not for me
[06:08.77] And I wanted so much more
[06:16.09] Far beyond what I could see
[06:23.31] So I swore that I'd
[06:29.34] never be someone like him
[06:33.57]
[06:40.74] So many years have passed since I proclaimed
[06:51.53] my independance
[06:56.61] my mission
[07:00.17] my aim
[07:03.26] and my vision
[07:06.40] So secure
[07:08.21] Content to live each day
[07:20.18] Like it's my last
[07:21.75] It's wonderful to know
[07:27.41] That I could be
[07:31.54] Something more than what I dreamed
[07:39.71] Far beyond what I could see
[07:46.95] Still I swear that I'm
[07:52.99] missing out this time
[07:57.55]
[07:58.50] As far as I could tell
[08:03.02] There's nothing more I need
[08:08.81] But still I ask myself
[08:14.99] Could this be everything?
[08:20.50] That all I swore
[08:24.54] That I would never be was now
[08:30.33] so suddenly
[08:33.09] The only thing
[08:36.18] I wanted
[08:37.75] To become
[08:39.41] To be someone just like him
[08:46.82]
[08:55.99] Part 3 (8:45-12:15)
[09:00.60]
[09:17.12] A doctor sitting next to me
[09:21.82] He asked me how I feel
[09:25.01] Not sure I understand his questioning
[09:31.09] He says I've been away a while
[09:36.31] But thinks he has cured me
[09:40.11] From a state of catatonic sleep
[09:47.24]
[09:47.53] For 30 years where have I been?
[10:01.22] Eyes open
[10:04.31] But not getting through to me
[10:09.86]
[10:11.24] Medicate me
[10:12.53] Infiltrate me
[10:15.85] Side effects appear
[10:20.89] As my conscience slips away
[10:24.12] Medicate me
[10:25.79] Science failing
[10:30.54] Conscience fading fast
[10:36.14] Can't you stop what's happening?
[10:40.04]
[10:54.48] A higher dosage he prescribes
[10:58.59] But there's no guarantee
[11:02.49] I feel it starting to take over me
[11:09.47] I tell them not to be ashamed
[11:13.75] There's no-one who's to blame
[11:17.50] A second shot a brief awakening
[11:24.43]
[11:24.86] I feel the relapse can't break free
[11:38.65] Eyes open
[11:41.74] But not getting through to me
[11:47.48]
[11:48.15] Medicate me
[11:49.39] Infiltrate me
[11:53.09] Side effects appear
[11:56.75] As my conscience slips away
[12:01.62] Medicate me
[12:04.18] Science failing
[12:08.31] Conscience fading fast
[12:13.30] Can't you stop what's happening?
[12:23.18]
[12:26.84] Part 4 (12:16-15:59)
[12:32.40]
[14:02.41] Sailing on the
[14:03.79] Seven seize the
[14:05.41] Day tripper
[14:06.67] Diem's ready
[14:09.38]
[14:09.67] Jack the ripper
[14:10.86] Owens Wilson
[14:11.90] Phillips and my
[14:13.33] Supper's ready
[14:14.99]
[14:15.38] Lucy in the
[14:16.57] Sky with diamond
[14:18.25] Dave's not here
[14:21.01] I come to save the
[14:21.30]
[14:21.90] Day for nightmare
[14:23.37] Cinema show
[14:24.54] Me the way to
[14:26.11] Get back home again
[14:28.10]
[14:28.34] Running forward
[14:29.25] Falling back
[14:33.10] Spinning round and round
[14:35.90] Looking outward
[14:37.28] Reaching in
[14:38.18] Scream without a sound
[14:41.11]
[14:41.54] Leaning over
[14:42.02] Crawling up
[14:43.72] Stumbling all around
[14:46.10] Losing my place
[14:49.71] Only to find I've come full circle
[14:50.95]
[14:59.26] Flying
[15:00.35] Off the
[15:01.54] Handle
[15:02.49] With careful with
[15:03.63]
[15:03.83] That axe

[15:15.96] Gener-
[15:17.05] -ation's home again
[15:18.48]
[15:19.05] Running forward
[15:20.24] Falling back
[15:21.38] Spinning round and round
[15:24.28] Looking outward
[15:25.52] Reaching in
[15:26.75] Scream without a sound
[15:29.22]
[15:29.51] Leaning over
[15:30.75] Crawling up
[15:31.75] Stumbling all around
[15:34.22] Losing my place
[15:36.45] Only to find I've come full circle
[15:39.30]
[16:47.10] Part 5 (16:00-18:27)
[16:50.09] (instrumental)
[16:56.69]
[17:12.98] Part 6 (18:28-19:58)
[18:40.00] (First)
[18:41.33] Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath
[18:44.80] Remove all obstacles from our paths
[18:47.65]
[18:47.99] (Second)
[18:48.27] Asking questions, search for clues
[18:51.03] The answer's been right in front of you
[18:53.60]
[18:53.93] (Third)
[18:54.34] We try to break through, long to connect
[18:57.88] We fall on deaf ears and failed muted breath
[19:00.92]
[19:01.26] (Fourth)
[19:01.62] Loyalty, trust, faith and desire
[19:03.95] Carries love through each darkest fire
[19:06.56]
[19:06.89] (Fifth)
[19:07.23] Tortured insanity, smothering hell
[19:10.60] Try to escape but to no avail
[19:13.64]
[19:13.93] (sixth)
[19:14.22] The call of admirers, who claim they adore
[19:17.12] Drain all your lifeblood but begging for more
[19:19.87]
[19:20.16] (Seventh)
[19:20.59] Innocent victims of merciless crimes
[19:23.01] Fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs
[19:26.01]
[19:26.34] Step after step we try controlling our fate
[19:29.43] When we finally start living it's become too late
[19:32.52]
[19:32.85] Trapped inside this octavarium
[19:34.51] Trapped inside this octavarium
[19:36.23] Trapped inside this octavarium
[19:38.53] Trapped inside this octavarium
[19:39.96]
[20:27.24] Part 7 (19:59-21:26)
[20:31.00]
[20:39.30] We move in circles
[20:45.10] Balanced all the while
[20:50.89] On a gleaming razor's edge
[20:57.35]
[21:02.00] A perfect sphere
[21:06.27] Colliding with our fate
[21:14.20] This story ends where it began
[21:28.00]
[21:36.45] Part 8 (21:27-24:00)
[21:39.30] (instrumental)
[21:43.29]
