It is the year 2134. 24 years ago mankind and Calderans defeated the Iron Savior. The ancient machine left the solar system and vanished into deep space. Today mankind and Calderans live unified on Earth and Caldaria growing together more and more. The Calderans shared their knowledge and technical development, so deep space traveling has become quite normal for man. It was also this year that a small vessel on it's way to Earth disappeared mysteriously without any trace. A bigger "starbird class" cruiser was sent out to investigate on this matter. The crew detected a small but yet fast growing abnormity in a 6.8 lightyears distance from the solar system. Two weeks later the distortion was as big as the planet Jupiter and a stationary research center was established. It seemed that inside the abnormity space and even time itself was somehow contorted, not following any known laws of physics of our continuum any more. A theory, that the abnormity might be something like a gate to multiple strings of time or even multiple continuums, was developed.
But suddenly a huge fleet of alien vessels emerged from the phenomena. Without any attempt of communication they opened fire on the research center and destroyed it completely and the "gateway theory" became a cold and hard fact. A violent species of predators with the ability to manipulate time and the continuum burst into the hemisphere of man and Calderans sending out their greetings with deadly fire. They call themselves the masters of time (to be continued)

Out of the cold you've been
given birth
made out of steel to protect
and serve
build for eternity you're
indestructable
free of emotions a robot miracle
Now you're up there above the
clouds
reading your sensors trace
programmed to correct the
errors
of the human race
Iron Iron Savior -Godness in
the sky
we can't hide from your cold,
staring eye
Iron Iron Savior - Godness
in the sky
deadly and dangerous you'll
never die
You gave us hope the Savior
machine
you were supposed to be a
millions dream
Circuits, chips and bits and
bytes
detecting the failure
result of analyses
the human behavior
(I must get control)
Iron Iron Savior - Godness
in the sky
Solo Kai
The Savior knows what's wrong
or right
he made up his artificial
mind
Now mankind's fate is in his
hand
will he ever understand
Iron Iron Savior - Godness in the sky
Iron Iron Savior - look what
you have done
cant you see your assesment
might be wrong Iron Iron Savior - robot of
the law
end this illfated devestating
war
Just like a machine programmed
and build to obey serving the system
in devotion
faithfully day after day
Feels you do not know an unpolluted
mind
In a world free of distress
disturbing emotions of any
kind
The perfect system to maintain
mankind
the department of thoughts
it watches your mind
Brave, brave new world
of biogenetic design
where the perfect people live
perfect lifes
and individuals get pulverized
Brave, brave new world
where mankind is down on its
knees
to the masterplan of insanity
slaves of science in agony
Brave, brave new world
Genetic engineering created
your DNA
codes and patterns lay down
your life
define you to obey
Escape the nightmare you can't
even dream your nature is human - you
ain't no machine
Brave, brave new world
Solo Piet
Break the chains and free your
spirit
start to be alive
Be an individual and rise
And rise!
Brave, brave new world
Brave new world
of biogenetic design
in this brave new world
no emotions of any kind
brave new world
you're down to your knees
in this brave new world
the masterplan of insanity
Brave, brave new world
(Kai)
I'm watching the mountains
I'm watchig the sea
observing the creatures
I am lost - set me free!
Across the heavens I made my
way
I' ve seen empires rise and
blown away
I have arrived my destiny
but after all there's just
emptiness in me
Out in the darkness - I am
going mad
Where are the others - there's
silence in my head
'Cause I'm a watcher in the
sky
I've seen universes die
Out in the cold my systems
overload
I'm here and lost in time
Watcher in the sky - sky
I am trapped in this nightmare
endless tortures and pain
millenniums have gone by
Uhhh, it drives me insane!
Who am I now?
I'm not a man - I'm not machine
I gave my life for it for
the Iron Savior dream
'Cause I'm a watcher in the sky
Solo Kai
(Piet)
Hooked - hooked to the circuits
of a lifeless, cold machine
Lost in a world of artificial
means
Ripped - ripped out of my
body
I'll stand the test of time
Am I perpetual - Am I devine?
Solo Piet / Solo Kai
(Kai)
I'm the watcher in the sky
My soul has drowned
in the tears I cannot cry
I'm the watcher the chosen
one
but I am lost in time
I'm the watcher in the sky
I've seen the years gone by
I am the choosen one
out in the cold my systems
overload
I'm here and lost in time
Watcher in the sky - sky
watching the mountains
watching the sea
watching the creatures
You'll never be free
Watcher in the sky - sky
Dream the dream of a distant
place
sheltered and hidden from
the human race Long ago leaving everything
behind
out in the coldness to find
peace of mind
Leaving ground destination
is unknown
into the darkness and far
away from home
Will your dream come true
and what will you find when fate is your guide
Riding on fire - touching the
sky
Riding on fire - take you
up so high
Riding on fire - with tears
in your eyes
Riding on fire - and your
heart it dies
Holy wars and tyrannies
Death and destruction but
no one can see
Up to the stars to escape this
living hell
Pain and oppression you're
wishing all farewell
Riding on fire
Solo 1 Piet
Dreams where did they go
reflections of thousand lightyears
ago
Sadness and fear
seems the end is near
Up to the stars to escape this
living hell
pain and oppression you're
wishing all farewell
The tyrant will die on the
day that I'll return he will burn
Riding on fire
Solo 2 Piet
Riding on fire - riding
(Hansi)
We're the defenders, we are
the ones
Bleeding
For all the creatures, the
land and the seas give us peace
And with the courage born
in despair
Hopeless
we will resist your banners
of pain
break the chain
(Piet)
Holy machine - creator of
sorrows
Awake - wake from your dream
and redeem
Rise from the ocean of darkness
where you've been so long
Cosmic insanity
regain your clarity
For the freedom
and for the world
Hope is our guiding light
it will shine
united we stand to fight
for the freedom
and for the world
For all - and for the world
(Hansi)
Sacred messiah, prophet in
arms
Liar
blasphemious saint lost in
the dark
Brave at heart
(Piet)
We will oppose, stand up against
you
Return - and let your soul
take control
Come back to life
drive the demons of madness
away
Cosmic insanity
Solo Kai / Piet / Kai / Piet
We will oppose, stand up against
you
Return - and let your soul
take control
Come back to life
drive the demons of madness
away
Cosmic insanity
Forever we'll be
United and free
For the freedom
and for the world
Vers 1
Watching the stars
as they pass by
an ocean of light
in the sky
So peaceful they look
but out in the black
the unknown prepares to attack
From nowhere they came
they broke through a gate
now they are here
to invade
They swallow up worlds
and spit out the bones
grinded to dust
and to stones
Bridge 1
Seems we never will rest
we must fight - for eternity
Seems that fate has been writing
in blood - our destiny
Chorus 1
Contortions -contortions of
time
Contortions - a rip in the
sky
Once again we have to stand
to defend
Raiders of time
you'll face your decline
Vers 2
Defiant we battle
the alien assault
their thrust has to come
to a halt
Just like an agent
the enemies
infected the entity
like a disease
Bridge 2
We will never give in
we must fight - for our liberty
Oh beware 'cause we'll pay
back
in blood - of the enemy
Chorus 2
Contortions
C Part
In layering dimensions
reality shifts
Continuums are merging
A fracture
in the line of the time
Solo Piet
Bridge 3
Seems we never will rest
Chorus 3
Contortions
Fade out
In layering dimensions
reality shifts
They're bending the line
They're the masters of time
Continuums are merging
They roke through a gate
Creating a fracture
in the line of the time
Vers 1
Nowhere to run
you're out of control
The darkness came over you
it has blackened your soul
your eyes 're burning red
as bright as the rising sun
seems there is nothing
no way to overcome
your grief!
Lost in a world
of misery and despair
try to deny it
but the pain is always there
Bridge 1
Inside your walls of sorrow
you cannot see tomorrow
Chorus 1
Touching the rainbow
fly up and away
Escape from the shadow
the night's always followed
by day
Nothing's forever - forever
in life
Raise your head - look up
to the sky
Your wings have been burned
but still you can learn how
to fly
fly again
Vers 2
You say you can't stand it
you can't take it anymore
Do not surrender
it's yourself you're fighting
for
Broken and wounded
in the grip of agony
Stand up - and make a change
or is this what you wanna
be
Bridge 2
Break through your walls of
sorrow
and you will see tomorrow
Chorus 2
Touching the rainbow
C Part
Within the walls
the walls of sorrow
you cannot see tomorrow
Tear down the walls
the walls of sorrow
and you will see tomorrow
Solo Piet/Kai/Piet
Chorus 3
Touching the rainbow
fly up and away
Escape from the shadow
the night's always followed
by day
Come with me
and you will see
spread your wings and fly
Touching the rainbow
fly up and away
Escape from the shadow
the night's always followed
by day
There's a land up in the sky
take my hand and fly
Fly again
Vers 1
I'm drifting away my systems
are failing
I will not return back to
my home
to ones I love
I'm fading away
my hopes and my dreams
they will never come true
silent the stars
are gleaming above
Chorus 1
I'm feeling cold
stonecold
out in the vast
I will not outlast
stonecold
lost without trace
I'm loosing the race
I want to be near you
I just want to feel you
My heart turns cold
cold as a stone
Vers 2
So many years
thinking of you I can't hold
back the tears
I'm all alone with a million
of fears
Uhh, I want you so bad and
it hurts
I can't stand the pain anymore
please, godess of fate
I'm down on my knees
Chorus 2
I'm feeling cold
stonecold
Vers 3
This is the end
and I will close my eyes forever
I won't return to you my love
I will see you again
somewhere in space and in
time
there's a place
I wrote my farewell
in the stars above
Chorus 3
I'm feeling cold
stonecold
Vers 1
A species of violence
has landed ashore our hemisphere
They're crossing the borders
their mercyless killers are
everywhere
But we're not defenseless
our ancient brothers will
stand
to head off the slaughter
from our common land
Bridge 1
The alien assailants
are pounding the world
The war will begin
Throughout the years
of the savior we've learned
We'll never give in
Chorus 1
This is the hatchet of war
and we have used it before
You may try to break us
you may try to take us
fear the hatchet of war
die or withdraw
Vers 2
Starbirds are launching
the thrust of their engines
roars into thunder and rain
They break through the clouds
Oh, will they come back again
Fingers of light in unholy
gleam
a blast of energy
The battle is on
alien or man
we shall all meet our destiny
Bridge 1
The alien assailants
are pounding the world
The war will begin
Throughout the years
of the savior we've learned
We'll never give in
Chorus 2
This is the hatchet of war
Solo Piet
C Part
United we will stand
together we'll fight 'til
the end
We raise our banners high
defiant we'll break through
the sky
This is the hatched of war
and we have used it before
Chorus 3
This is the hatched of war
Fear our hatched of war
