Dani is bored
There is nothing left to do
Grandma’s house is lame
If only there were boys
There is no art
No music to listen to
She is thirteen and not interested in toys
She walks up the stairs
And to her surprise
Secret door she finds
Hidden from the eyes
Open up open up the door
Open up open up your mind
Open up open up your heart
Open wide and close one eye
The room, secret
Attic, a dark place she finds
So steep, so high inside
Deep inside she climbs
Something different
A square wooden chest she finds
She reached her hand
Inside and felt all around
Letters hand written
Something super strange
Tube like colored green
Pictures of an eye
Open up open up the door
Open up open up your mind
Open up open up your heart
Open wide and closed one eye

Don’t know where I am I think I
Am on a train and I don’t
Know what happened or how I
Even got here I get up
Walk to the front it’s so dark
I can not see suddenly
A voice is heard and it says
And the voice says
Welcome aboard, it’s the Scope Express!
Please have a seat. Relieve all your stress.
Welcome aboard, it’s the Scope Express!
Please have a seat. Just let your eyes rest.
I keep walking on forward
To find the voice at least where
It’s coming from it hits me
Perhaps it comes from the front
Walk to the front keep walking
It never ends there is no
Front of the train I’m tired
And the voice says
Welcome aboard, it’s the Scope Express!
Please have a seat. Relieve all your stress.
Welcome aboard, it’s the Scope Express!
Please have a seat. Just let your eyes rest.

I am now awake
Seems I fell asleep
This is not the train
Where oh where am I?
Where am I?
Where am I?
It seems I’m in a strange new land
An adventure I’ve never had
It seems I’m in a strange new land
An adventure I’ve never had
I explore; I find
Familiar buildings
All modern yet they’re
Ancient, old somehow
Where am I?
Where am I?
It seems I’m in a strange new land
An adventure I’ve never had
It seems I’m in a strange new
An adventure I’ve never had

I have searched
Suddenly
I see something it sees me
Here it comes
So frightening
Dinosaurs
They can speak
I’m so scared
Do not fear
We will not harm you
Please just follow us
And you’ll be amazed
They are called
X-Raptors
Of planet
X-Tolera
“This is not
So frightening”
I try to think
I can’t speak
I’m so scared
Do not fear
We will not harm you
Please just follow us
And you’ll be amazed

Yet again a strange place I find
The X-Raptors are leading me
Violent winds; a cold surrounds
And behold the Fortress!
Doors swing wide
And Behold, And behold the light!
And Behold, And behold the light!
Atrium; I count seven floors
Up several stairs a ways we climb
Violent sounds my heart pounds
And Behold the Throne-room
Doors swing wide
And Behold, And behold the light!
And Behold, And behold the light!

The Tyrant Speaks, "I am X-T-Rex"
He has knowledge and explains the ruins,
"Man is extinct. Dinosaurs rule
A utopia of perfect peace"
He asks me to describe my world
And I cry,
"Pain is all that we know,
Pain is all that we know!"
Television, nations at war
Parents divorce, simply abort
We're molested, sex is fashion
Love is a lie, greed is passion
He asks me to describe my world
And I cry,
"Pain is all that we know,
Pain is all that we know!"

X-T-Rex
Is confused
"What is pain?
What is war?"
And I reply,
"What do you mean?"
What is it like
In your kingdom?
Love, Love
Love it is the only way they know
Oh,
Love it is the only way they know
So different
From our world,
I'm in tears
I don't understand
And I reply,
"What do you mean?"
What is it like
In your kingdom?
Love, Love
Love it is the only way they know
Oh,
Love it is the only way they know

10 - The Surrender
03:36
|

|
In my tears I now flee
Surrender me Free from grief
Rain pours down Upon me
A plea for Forgiveness
Please forgive Me oh God
For all that I have done
I want to Love like that
Please let me Now go home
Why must I Feel so alone?
Give me strength to Stand the tides
If only I were home
Please forgive Me oh God
For all that I have done
I want to Love like that

I found the train And I'm on my way home now
What a journey, Oh and what an adventure
First I was bored So I started Exploring
Looked in the scope and it never was boring
And as I Now Reflect on it all
I think that I don't know what to think
I don’t know What to think I don't know
I don't know How to feel I don't know
All I know Is that I Need to know
All I know Is that I just don't know
X-Tolera Was a real experience
What a journey, Oh and what an adventure
It looked like fun So I started Exploring
Found Dinosaurs and it never was boring
And as I Now Reflect on it all
I think that I don't know what to think
I don’t know What to think I don't know
I don't know How to feel I don't know
All I know Is that I Need to know
All I know Is that I just don't know
