[Intro] [Majestic church organ blends into a fast, galloping heavy metal riff] [Orchestral brass section provides a regal theme]

[Verse 1: The Traveler (Lande style – gritty, powerful)] (I walk the plains where shadows cast a blinding light) (Under the sun that freezes everything in sight) (Ten-meter ants are marching through the silver dust) (While tiny elephants flee from the iron rust) (I drink the warm rain, falling from the velvet ground) (In this cathedral of silence, where the truth is found)

[Verse 2: The Mentor (Sammet style – clean, soaring)] (Don’t trust your eyes, the beauty here is bitter bread) (The sweetest nectar grows where rot and thorns are spread) (The mountain calls you, pull yourself against the fall) (Downhill is agony, uphill is a breeze for all) (We search for wisdom in the dark of midday sun) (The quest for meaning has only just begun!)

[Pre-Chorus: Both] (Gravity is lying, the stars are underneath our feet!) (Where the beginning and the end are destined to meet!)

[Chorus: Grand Choir & Duet] (Oh, Planet of Fantasy, where the madness is the law!) (We seek the hidden key, within the logic's flaw!) (To find the meaning in a world that’s turned around) (Where the lost is finally kept and the king is never crowned!) (Through the bright of midnight, we follow the inner call!)

[Bridge: The Revelation (Deep, raspy, theatrical)] [Music slows to a heavy, pounding rhythm – Manowar meets Savatage] (The warmth of the moon is the only fire we need) (To burn the garden of the old and ancient greed) (Why do we seek the truth in things we understand?) (When the secret's written in the shifting of the sand?) (Wisdom is the fruit that looks so pale and dead!) (Taste the ugly! Feed your soul on what you dread!)

[Guitar Solo: Herman Li style] [Insane speed, chaotic whammy bar effects, "video game" sounds, twin guitar harmonies]

[Bridge 2: Orchestral Breakdown] [Piano and violins only, building up to a massive climax] (Step by step, the climb is effortless and light...) (Into the peak of understanding, out of sight...)

[Final Chorus: Maximum Power] (Oh, Planet of Fantasy, where the madness is the law!) (We seek the hidden key, within the logic's flaw!) (To find the meaning in a world that’s turned around) (Where the lost is finally kept and the king is never crowned!)

[Outro] (It’s all on the other side...) (The truth is a lie...) (Wahoo!) [Grand symphonic finale with a final high-pitched scream] [Ending with a single, echoing chime] [End]
