2. Otherland (5:14)
They rule the land,
they're in command,
they hold all strings in hand,
they are invisible.
Out of sight they've designed
a secret place to play their games,
a world they're in control.
Divine law, divine law!
Be aware now, mind your steps,
we are uninvited guests.
They may find and catch us,
don't forget!
Do what I say, now connect,
don't even ask until we're out of it.
Everything's at highest stake!
Come and take a look, we are in,
take a breath but don't forget
it isn't real, it isn't true,
An illusion nothing more.
You're part of the game,
you're slave to the grind.
Oblivion is your key
to the Otherland.
You're part of the game,
you're cursed, you're damned.
By now you understand!
You're part of the game,
you're slave to the grind.
Oblivion is your key
to the Otherland.
You're part of the game,
you're cursed, you're damned.
By now you understand!
We get closer
There's no better way
Lullaby Lane
Fate is on its way
The inner district
Is the place you need to know
It's overwhelming
So let's rest here for a while
Someone else appears
Silently
Watch me when I fall down
Everything seems real
Suddenly
A perfect simulation
Come take a look
Breathe it in
Artificial wonderlands
We are wandering around
Things shall vanish
They won't last
Now I know
You understand
This world is not true
Nothing is real
Nothing at all
It's bits and pieces
We walk through
You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind
Oblivion
Is your key to the Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
By now you understand
You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind
Oblivion
You've reached the promised land
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
Welcome to the Otherland
Wait
I can feel things are not right
Do not breathe
Don't look behind
There's someone else
The observer
A trick of light
A fading line
The entrance is gone
We can't get out of it
We are slightly losing ground
Quick
It is time
We shall go
We better leave
And don't come back
No way to run
Nowhere to hide
I fear
We're walking aimlessly
You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind
Oblivion
Is your key to the Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
By now you understand
You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind
Oblivion
Welcome to the Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
You've reached
The promised land
You've crossed the line
You've reached the end
they're in command,
they hold all strings in hand,
they are invisible.
Out of sight they've designed
a secret place to play their games,
a world they're in control.
Divine law, divine law!
Be aware now, mind your steps,
we are uninvited guests.
They may find and catch us,
don't forget!
Do what I say, now connect,
don't even ask until we're out of it.
Everything's at highest stake!
Come and take a look, we are in,
take a breath but don't forget
it isn't real, it isn't true,
An illusion nothing more.
You're part of the game,
you're slave to the grind.
Oblivion is your key
to the Otherland.
You're part of the game,
you're cursed, you're damned.
By now you understand!
You're part of the game,
you're slave to the grind.
Oblivion is your key
to the Otherland.
You're part of the game,
you're cursed, you're damned.
By now you understand!
