Morning comes and I wake up Feeling like I was here before The same dream, different door Wondering how it all began All these dreams that never end Can you help me understand? A circle of events starts Trapped inside Near and far Can you tell me “when” we are? Deprive our freedom Free will no more CHORUS: The time I lost The time you found Dust from misery on the ground Life will try to bring you down And a lifetime of mistakes Broken dreams reveal the pain Can I save my life again? Our mind was set to realize A linear time Have our decisions Always been predefined? The waves of time Cannot rearrange The tides of life Through time and space I wish to fly CHORUS: The time I lost The time you found Dust from misery on the ground Life will try to bring you down And a lifetime of mistakes Broken dreams reveal the waves Can I save my life again? CHORUS: And a lifetime of mistakes Broken dreams reveal the pain Can I save my life again? Wondering how it all began All these dreams that never end Can you help me understand? And a lifetime of mistakes Broken dreams reveal the waves Can I save my life again?

We are so connected Connected by this kingdom And all I can see Is a cold humanity Living in one direction Surprised by disconnection Heart, mind and soul Oh, mind and soul CHORUS: The Jester is now dancing This Waltz of Death Dancing by the rules of this kingdom Automatic living Writing on the screen In this circumstance I fear the jester and his dance Heart, mind and soul What will remain? The perception Of affection Is not fashion Anymore CHORUS: The Jester is now dancing This Waltz of Death Dancing by the rules of this kingdom Heart, mind and soul What will remain? Digital love Digital rain Bring the waltz of death Solos Children Choir: Now you and I will dance The Waltz of Death Dancing by the rules of this kingdom

Burn To Rise 06:25
A fascinating mystery, A man and his beliefs, Strange sounds in my head Should I go back And reset the path? Sometimes we must be strong And hold on Chorus: I just have to go, I know, I'm so far away But we have to learn, We burn, We burn to rise again At this point of no return Burning bridges everyday This game we all have to learn We’ll try and we’ll fail Grey clouds in the sky Blow away the shadows Bring the sun Chorus: Now I want to go, I know, I'm so far away But we have to learn, We burn, We burn to rise again Burn! Burn all the bridges Stand your ground Don’t aim for the common sound Renunciation Can lead to pain, The right choices Will turn the game I"ll find the answers Beyond the flames I realize We die to live again Embrace the challenge It can make us one. We die to live again. Chorus: We just have to go, I know, We’re so far away But now we have learn, We burn, We burn to rise again And now we have learn We burn to rise again

Rhode 04:51
Rhode was a boy so wild He grew up and became wise Not so much open at his home, His home? Rhode was the foster child He said: I do not belong here How did I get here? Can you help me understand? Chorus: You’ve been left on your own now Like a king who needs the crown You have no right to make mistakes All this guilt on your mind It’s a chance to make you find Find all the answers That are left behind Chorus: You’ve been left on your own now Like a king who needs the crown You have no right to make mistakes Find all the answers That are left behind (Older, Younger, fragments, consciousness, you are out, you’re out of your mind) Instrumental Choirs: Older Time You are out... Out of Out of your... Mind! Consciousness Fragments Out of mind? Chorus: You’ve been left on your own now Like a king who needs the crown You have no right to make mistakes Fragments of another life Can implode your wicked mind This is your chance to get away Look at yourself and Tell me who we are...

Fire They said I was there Smoke and water Everywhere I hear cries of pain and despair Inside me Chorus: Far from home I am alone Look inside We are here To take care of you Anesthetized Paralyzed Echo inside my head, I hear many voices That seem to diverge Blue and red Purple, green, black Shades of grey Am I Insane? Chorus: This eternal Prison of the damned My weak mind Out of control Far from home I am alone Look inside We are here To take care of you And control you...
8.
I am here You are not alone You’re my son I’m in control I’m not alone I need to stay You are not sane Don’t be ashamed Guilt and pain (Am I dreaming? Everything is so confused) Chorus: Home - come back home Where are you? We don’t belong here Run from this place Come back home I don’t belong here I am the voice Commanding you Respect your father Now take me home Chorus: Home - come back home Where are you? We don’t belong here Run from this place Come back home I don’t belong here

Should I go back? Beyond the flames I just have to go I am so far away Strange sounds in my head Burning bridges every day Chorus: I’m Dead inside Losing all my ground These scars will never mend Pain inside When you lose someone you love Do you burn to rise again? We try We fail Fragments prevail Now we are here At this point of no return Contaminated Chorus: I’m Dead inside Losing all my ground These scars will never mend Pain inside When losing someone you love Do you burn to rise again? We live inside your weakened mind These scars will never mend Pain inside For losing everyone I love I dream of you back again

Mother: I’m in charge now Rhode, my son, your father wants to imprison you forever in that house. Don’t go back there. You will find nothing but ruin there. Rhode: But mom, I don’t belong here. They think I’m crazy. I can’t take this anymore! I need you and dad. Mother: I know, my son. He loves you as much as you love him. But I assure you none of that will bring us back into the real world. We will always be fragments in your mind. Rhode: No! I’m not mad! I had a terrible dream (/nightmare) and woke up in this hell. I need to go back home. You need me! Mother: No, Rhode. You have to let us go. This is killing you, little by little Please, forget any of this happened. We forgive you. We love you. But we have to go. Rhode: If you don’t miss me, my father does. He needs me! Mother: It was not a nightmare. We died in the house fire. The responders arrived in time to save you, but we didn’t have the same luck. Chorus: This is your new home (This is my new home) Rhode: Noooooooooo

It's the only way to go home (I will burn this evil place) All I need is just another day (I believe we can rise again)

about

Split Mind is a concept album in wich the main character, Rhode, lost his parents in a housefire. With each track – seven in total – the listener gets to know a little more about the protagonist's personality and the facts behind the tragedy that took his parents' lives. The result is a sound that presents, at different times, some feelings experienced by the protagonist: sadness, fear, loneliness, joy and anger. The album's title track, nearly 20 minutes long, is an epic divided into six acts. Split Mind chronicles all the moments of Rhode's life after the fire and the challenges he faces without his mother and father around, such as insecurity, difficulty in facing the new reality and the doubts that plague the young man's head. All this packed by instrumental melodies with cinematic air and featuring renowned singers, from various rock and heavy metal strands, playing characters and his feelings.
