Kamelot

[Mephisto]
Everyone is here
The feast can soon begin
Vanity we celebrate
My favourite of sins

[Ariel]
Chandeliers so grand
That heaven sees the shine
And my friend declares
Everything I look at could be mine

It's a miracle
Life till now has been a waste
You have proved to me
By your hand I'm truly graced
Unbelievable
Gold and glitter blinding me
So adorable
All these women from my fantasies

[Mephisto]
Come with me my little ones
Let's revel for the free
Raise your glass and praise the fact
How easy life can be

[Ariel]
In the splendour of the night
I've found company
Once again I feel that life's begun
All the wrongs seem to be right
Drowned in ecstasy
Every star is like a newborn sun

In the splendour of the night
I've found company
Once again I feel that life's begun
All the wrongs seem to be right
Drowned in ecstasy
Every star is like a newborn sun

May the life I knew be gone
I accept the deed
But one point we have to modify
If I wish to linger on
In a state of still
Only then I'm yours the day I die

can you hear the sirens resound?
from the coastline of Ireland tonight
it's the song of a promising heart
of the souls that the ocean unite

and she stands by the window alone
staring into the rain
she is trying to guide his way home
from the waters that keep them apart

so she lights up a candle for hope to be found
captive and blind by the darkness around
firm as a mountain, she never will mourn
timeless awaiting the break of dawn

can you hear the sailorman's hymn?
as it comes with the rise of the tide
it is sung where the rainbow begins
as a comfort for tears she has cried

she remains by the window alone
staring into the rain
she is trying to guide his way home
keeps on praying for god to protect him

she lights up a candle for hope to be found
captive and blind by the darkness around
each wave a promise, a new hope reborn
sunrise consoles at the break of dawn

Once my life was plain and clear
I recall
Once my ignorance was bliss
Nightfall came
Like a serpent's kiss
To my troubled mind

Why, oh why my God
Have you abandoned me
In my sobriety
Behind the old facade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me cross the river wide

Binding promises were made
On my soul
Grand illusions lead astray
Ice cold winds swept my heart away
Bring me back to you

Why, oh why my God
Have you abandoned me
In my sobriety
Behind the old facade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me cross the river wide

(Helena)
I remember a song
Like in a dream
Where September was long
And winter unreal

Why, oh why my God above
Have you abandoned me
In my sobriety
Behind the old facade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me cross the river wide

Once my life was plain and clear
I recall
Once my ignorance was bliss
Nightfall came
Like a serpent's kiss
To my troubled mind

Why, oh why my God
Have you abandoned me
In my sobriety
Behind the old facade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me cross the river wide

Binding promises were made
On my soul
Grand illusions lead astray
Ice cold winds swept my heart away
Bring me back to you

Why, oh why my God
Have you abandoned me
In my sobriety
Behind the old facade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me cross the river wide

(Helena)
I remember a song
Like in a dream
Where September was long
And winter unreal

Why, oh why my God above
Have you abandoned me
In my sobriety
Behind the old facade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me cross the river wide

I've been witness to so many wars
that I'm blind to affliction
no ability left to remorse
it's my faith and conviction

wide awake
in this world
full of hate
I unfurl

but I am damned
if life itself is condemnation
I am immortal
thus my freedom is captivity

flying all across the highlands
searching for a way
to finalize my history
rising high above the mountains
reaching for the sky
closer to my sanctuary

all my life I've been trying to die
reach complete segregation
I am ready to open my eyes
to a new revelation

lost in time
there's no place
for my soul
in his embrace

for I am damned
if life itself is condemnation
I am immortal
thus my freedom is captivity
bound to live eternally

far across the sea
a piece of history
in Egypt's land
I'll build a city
beautiful and strong
beyond belief
a new metropolis
to redefine my destiny

rise and shine Alexandria
under protection of my name
pure, divine, and imperial

a place to watch the stars
the center of the earth
I see it all... my worlds converging
and to guide a king's armada through the night
I raise the seventh wonder to delight Poseidon

rise and shine Alexandria
under protection of my name
pure, divine, and imperial

make me the city of a living angel
casting shades all over Babylon
hailing me, a holy son of god
as a monument of time
and the goals that I achieved
make a sculpture of my mind

What's a miracle
If life itself is not?
Who am I to praise its worth
With a hymn
I may stumble
Over words that I forgot,
Just as life itself
May slowly begin.

Sing me a song for the mountains to move,
Sing me the anthem of life,
Sing me the anthem of life.

I am skeptical
I like my glass of wine,
I don't know your name
Or what I am to do.
One day you'll wonder why
Try read between the lines,
And you will sing for me
The way I sang for you.

Sing me a song for the ocean to part,
Sing me the anthem of life,
Sing me the anthem of life,
Sing me the anthem of life.

So another page is turned,
I pray I understand what's happening,
But if anything
I do know this,
I'll be the best I can.

Sing me a song like the angels rejoice,
Sing me an anthem of life,
Sing me the anthem,
Sing me the anthem of life.

He Was A Young Boy
About To Be A Man
She Loved Him So
Oh Please Don't Go
Down On His Knees
The Blade Passed With Ease
Shoulder To Shoulder
As It Pierces Her Heart
Out In The Fields
The Boy Becomes A Man
Taste Of Blood In His Throat
Feel Of Death On His Hands
He Shall Fall On This Dark, Misty Night
As He Falls He Hears His Loved One Cry
Birth Of A Hero
Death Of A Man
She'll Never Understand
Why He Left Her Hand
He Was A Young Boy
She Loved Him So
She Watched The Sun Set
And Longed For His Journey Home
Flags Fly Low
The Blade Cut Deep
Now She Must Bear The Wounds
That Bleed Memories

Oh black tower, what is your power,
What makes men run and hide,
i have seen evil, in the dead of the night,
as the demons they dance in my mind.

Telling tales of horror,
in the splendour of their torture,
burning flames reach for the sky,
and the gates of hell are open,

whoaa, AAAH, AAAH, oh black tower,
oh-ohoh, black tower.

(mini-solo) blacktower

oh black tower,
why do you devour,
the souls asleep in the night,
casting your shadows, signs of no tomorrows,
why must i fear for my life,

telling tales of horror, in the splendour of their torture,
burning flames reach for the sky,
and the gates of hell are open.

whoaa, AAAHH, AAHHHH oh black tower,
oh-ohoh black tower

(beast solo) black tower

Now i know its the truth,
all the evil endoured,
they shall pay their dues,
nightmares tell the truth,

oh black tower, whoaa blacktower

(mini-solo)blacktower.

why must i take the chance, in my mind.

endless alone lost at sea
it's a never ending chore to
keep my head above these waters
I've never feared before

the sun has taken its toll
the salt runs in my veins
I've never feared before these
waters I've grown to hate
will I live to see tomorrow?
or will I die in this watery depth?
the sea is calling me
my will to live is stronger than
these tides could ever be
the sea is calling me
why won't I let these waters
claim me victory?

I long for the place where the
winds and the tide tear at the shore
but in the twilights of my dreams
the fire rages on

"Hey! Woo! Thank you! OK, we're gonna slow it down for a bit now.
This is a song about a girl that might have forgotten me by now.
But I hope we will meet again some time in the future."

A flame within my heart has died
This a song, it's song with no reprise
Today I just don't know why
What we had and what we shared, so divine

Sunrise in Osaka, but I'm cold tonight
The northern lights are shining, and my dreams take flight

Can you remember? Tell me how far I have to go
Can you remember lust in the eastern skies?
Can you remember when you told me sayonara?
Can you remember me? 'Cause I will never say goodbye

A flame within my heart has died
Too far away, it's too far for me to say
I wish I could turn back time
Is there anyone to blame? Show me the way

Sunrise in Osaka, but I'm cold tonight
The northern lights are shining, and my dreams take flight
Memories are forever, and I see your face
Crying in the distance, 'til we fall from grace

Can you remember? Tell me how far I have to go?
Can you remember lust in the eastern skies?
Can you remember when you told me sayonara?
Can you remember me? 'Cause I will never say goodbye

Can you remember? Tell me how far I have to go
Can you remember lust in the eastern skies?
Can you remember when you told me sayonara?
Can you remember me? 'Cause I will never say goodbye

"Thank you."

Move slowly
Beyond the colors of my eyes
Move slowly
Into the corners of my mind
Rising like the Pegasus
Each and every one of us
Released
Islands in the sea of dreams
Always searching harmony
And peace

All we find
Reject our mind
Don't you wonder why

If the war by heavens gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone

Show me sign of paradise
A place we all would like to go to
Tell me what to sacrifice
So there's a chance for me to want you

All I find
Reject my mind
And I wonder why

If the war by heavens gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone

I have a tale to be told won't you listen tonight
Follow me into the core of the fountain of light
Try to imagine that hope is our ship for the soul
(Over the ocean the quest of your life lies ahead)
Maybe together we'll find there's a place for us all
(Follow the star in your mind, sail along sail along)

Crossing Two Rivers
And Fields In The Dark
He Is In Love Enslaved By The Heart
She Waits By The Window For
The First Sight Of Her Love
She Hopes And Prays
That Nothing Will Keep Their Love Apart
Two Separate Kingdoms
Two Separate Lives Thrown Apart
By The Hate And Lies
She Waits By The Window
For The Love That Left Her Arms
She Hopes And Prays
That One Day Their Hearts Will Beat As One
Even Though Their World's At War
Love Grows Stronger Than Before
The Moats Between Their Love Grow Shallow

"Dear Editor,
This is the Zodiac speaking. I am back with you. Tell Herb Caen I am here. I have always been here. That city pig, Toschi, is good, but I am both smarter and better. He will get tired then leave me alone. I am waiting for a good movie about me. Who will play me? I am now in control of all things. Yours truly..."

Mephisto:
Speak my friend
You look surprised
I thought you knew
I'd come disguised
On angel wings... in white
I can make
Your dreams come true
What a couple...
Me and you
On journey through the night

I will show you everything so vividly
You can't deny me

Bathed in moonlight
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
Will be mine the day you die

Name a pleasure
One... a few
Any form
Of lust in you
Will tremble at my touch
I come down from heaven's light
I have all the perfect alibis
There's so much...

I will show you everything so vividly
You won't deny me

Bathed in moonlight
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
Will be mine the day you die

Call my name or carry on
Till that last resistance gone
I'm sure we'll meet again

I'm your true disciple
When the flesh desires
You won't deny me

Bathed in moonlight
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
will be mine the day you die

Bathed in moonlight
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
will be mine the day you die

Take your time...

Came across the waters
A kingdom in the sands
Unfaithful to the sultan
A killing was at hand
Challenged to survival
A legacy of fear
Eternal mystic legends
One for every tear

Nights of Arabia
The queen has lost her right to life
Nights of Arabia
Her destiny in story lines
Nights of Arabia
A thousand tales and one for life
These are nights of Arabia

Whispers in the moonlight
A gathering of vales
Circled round the fire
To hear this evenings tale
Standing on the threshold
The crest of darkened nights
Seduction of the hunter
The slave regains her might

"lost inside a shadow
Erase the sins I've made
Heavenly reward me
With mercy on my fate"

Nights of Arabia
The queen has lost her right to life
Nights of Arabia
Her destiny in story lines
Nights of Arabia
A thousand tales and one for life
These are nights of Arabia
Sheherazade will never die

The sultan relents his feeble heart
His love for the queen is greater than he'll ever know
"it's easy to let you feed my nights
Someone to touch, someone to hold,
Someone to feel, someone to love"

"here I am to die alone
Voices from heaven above
Hear my call awaken my soul
Forgive me for what I have done"

Challenged to survival
A legacy of fear
Eternal mystic legends
One for every tear

little by little
I've come to this point
on my own I've been searching my way
I lost you so early
the days went so fast
you don't know I prayed every day

a song to remember
a song to forget
you'll never know how I tried
to make you proud
and to honor your name but
you never told me goodbye

now that your are gone
casting shadows from the past
you and all the memories will last

don't you cry
or suffer over me
I will be waiting for you
don't you cry
angels never fade away
I'll be watching over you
see you through

now I'm a man and
I'm feeling you still
could it be you were there all along
a time to surrender
a time to forgive
with solace I give you this song

now that you are gone
casting shadows from the past
in my dreams I hear your voice at last

don't you cry
or suffer over me
I will be waiting for you
don't you cry
angels never fade away
I'll be watching over you

I can see you tonight
in the pale winter light
father and son again
the bond of blood will never end

First you said that you would never leave me
Merry were my days
Then you told me life is never easy
And left without a trace

But how come I want you
Like the soil yearns for the rain

Won't you light up
Won't you light up my life
Let my soul breathe
Tell me wrong, tell me right
You're my mind cage
Like a mountain far away
You were always there
Dressed in summer white

You will never know how much I miss you
Or open to my fear
Find the maze I made my way through
And enter if you dare
How, how come I want you
Like the soil yearns for the rain

Won't you light up
Won't you light up my life
Let my soul breathe
Tell me wrong, tell me right
You're my mind cage
Like a mountain far away
You were always there
Dressed in summer white

Remember my name
And paint the darkness with your light
Go sing your song for all the broken hearted
Like Eden echoes in my head
The unforgiven gave you all

Won't you light up
Won't you light up my life
Let my soul breathe
Tell me wrong, tell me right
You're my mind cage
Like a mountain far away
You were always there
Dressed in summer white

Mirror can you tell me
How to stay forever young
Let me know the secret
I will hold my twisted tongue
Please protect my beauty
Velvet skin so pure and white
Hear my name resounding
Like a hymn at dead of night

Once I struck a servant
She's a virgin free from sin
Drops of blood caressed me
And refined my aging skin

Could this be the answer
Uncorrupted carmine red
Voices keep resounding
In my dazed bewildered head

Have I found myself eternity
Someone has heard my prayers
Now I'll become divine

Have I found myself divinity
I'm no longer a slave
To the vicious hands of time

"Elizabeth, wake up.
Elizabeth, wake up."

breathe in deep
smell these halls of hate
carve your name into these walls
before it is too late

cold and twisted
they resisted
what was I to do
all I ever wanted was
a fraction of the truth

walking in the shadows
of my blackened mind
lost inside this shallow
vanity of time

what if there's a God a hell and heaven
fire is the torment I must face
dying by the souls I have forsaken
no one's going to catch my fall from grace

[bleed on me]
watch me from your cage
as I rejoin my painful prime
[suffer and exhale]
you and I are relics
we provoke and we recline

walking in the shadows
of my blackened mind
angels crave my sorrow
sorrow they will find

what if there's a God a hell and heaven
fire is the torment I must face
dying by the souls I have forsaken
no one's going to catch my fall from grace

mirror can you tell me
how to stay forever young
let me know the secret
I will hold my twisted tongue

please protect my beauty
velvet skin so pure and white
hear my name resounding
like a hymn at dead of night

once I struck a servant
she's a virgin free from sin
drops of blood caressed me
and refined my aging skin

could this be the answer
uncorrupted carmine red
voices keep resounding
in my dazed bewildered head

have I found myself eternity
someone has heard my prayers
now I'll become divine

have I found myself divinity
I'm no longer a slave
to the vicious hands of time

mother can you hold me
one more time again
whisper "I still love you" in my ear
mother did you lie
would you tell me why
there is something deeper that I fear

justify the evil I portray
daggers in the darkness find your way
when the moon is full and piercing bright
drench me with your innocence tonight

don't you want to die
walk beside me evermore
don't you feel alive
like you've never felt before

visions of the future
unprofound and blurred
I have passed the point of no return

justify the evil I portray
let me keep my beauty one more day
when the moon is full and piercing bright
drench me with your innocence tonight

don't you want to die
walk beside me evermore
don't you feel alive
like you've never felt before

don't you want to die
souls transcending, silver shine
don't you feel alive
your blood preserves my place in time

One other year has left my life
One year bygone so soon
These were the days I sacrificed
These days were lived for you

Some came with winter in white
Some days were blown away
Some came with sultry summer nights
Some with October rain

Oh, how I long for utter silence
But who am I to know
When rain will turn to snow?
If life brings another day

As I sit upon these rocks above
I feel the waves crash upon the shore
As the sea sprays on my glowing face
I wish I could embrace the sea
for evermore
As I lay my head to sleep at night
I dream the sea and me we flow as one
But I'm a prisoner of the sands and
no one understands these childish dreams

An old man approaches me
His feeble mind confusing to thee
He speaks in riddles and rhymes
Tales of an old witch that cast him
from the sea
But wait my eyes full of splendor
or could this be some crazy old tale
I look to his eyes for the answer

I will my soul to the sea
for Eternity
I will my soul to the sea
for Eternity

And so the journey begins
The pain and suffering
Are your dreams worth this torment?
You can deal Another hand
But the light in the distance
promises this the journeys end
Great gods of olympus
Great god Poseidon
Accept this mortal never let
Him return, For He's willed
His soul to the sea
For Eternity

I will my soul to the sea
for Eternity
I will my soul to the sea
for Eternity

freedom fires burning
mighty kingdoms shall rise
crystal ships have returned
like pawns on a distant shore

there's a cold empty place inside
where you know there's no end

mighty storm mighty storm
stirs from the skies above
like a cold chill rushed upon my face

searching - for what awaits us
set a course for a new shore
for what tomorrow will bring

plunging the northern seas
winds fill the sails
as we approach another world
that time has forgotten me
the sun blinds and circles me

no man is an island
no footsteps have walked these shores
discoveries on virgin soil
let the Expedition begin

Winter's close and the mountain high
I'll start my journey now
On this planet we call Earth we belong
I want to know
Why did god make me feel there is more to be answered
Maybe god cannot remedy our souls if he tried

I seek peace of mind at least and to know I did my best
I will pray for those I have loved

I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey

I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
Lead me an ocean away

No one holds the only truth in his hands
So who am I
To defy even god in quest for a reason
There's no time to waste I'm afraid

I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey

I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
Lead me an ocean away
So far away

When the tide is high
I won't dwell or wait no longer

There's no time to waste I'm afraid

I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey
(I must take your farewell)

I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
(Ooh)

I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey
(Bound to obey)

I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
Lead me an ocean away

Winter's close and the mountain high
I'll start my journey now
On this planet we call Earth we belong
I want to know

(Ooh)

I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey
(Bound to obey)

I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
Lead me an ocean away

Take a look into the crystal
Take a look at what the
Future may bring
All around you is darkness
As your shattered soul screams
As I stand before the crystal
See my life pass before me
Stand up straight look into my
Eyes tell me what do you see?

Is there no gold at the end
Of this rainbow?
Is there no hope at the end
Of the road?
Will there be strength for
The dreams that I've lived for
Or will I just let go?

Many years have passed me by
Many trials of life i've survived
stills the head wind blows my way
It's getting harder everyday

Is there no gold at the end
Of this rainbow?
Is there no hope at the end
Of the road?
Will there be strength for
The dreams that I've lived for
Or will I just let go?

The fire within is smoldering
The waters of life are raging In
Once there was passion
Desire to win

there's a pain within
that I can't define
there's an empty space
where your love used to shine
from the night we met
till the day you died
do you think I wished
do you still believe I tried

all too soon we were divided
and life had just begun

will you revive
from the chaos in my mind
where we still are bound together
will you be there
waiting by the gates of dawn
when I close my eyes forever

I belong to you
you belong to me
it's the way things are
always meant to be
like the morning star
and the rising sun
you convey my life
and forgive me what I've done

all too soon we were divided
in darkness and light

will you revive
from the chaos in my mind
where we still are bound together
will you be there
waiting by the gates of dawn
when I close my eyes forever

save me
reverse how I'm thinking of you
every breath I take
brings me closer
closer to forever, to you
I'm waiting for the day that I'm gone

There's a pain within
That I can't define
There's an empty space
Where your love used to shine
From the night we met
Till the day you died
Do you think I wished
Do you still believe I tried

All too soon we were divided
And life had just begun

Will you revive from the chaos in my mind
Where we still are bound together
Will you be there waiting by the gates of dawn
When I close my eyes forever

I belong to you
You belong to me
It's the way things are
Always meant to be
Like the morning star
And the rising sun
You convey my life
And forgive me what I've done

All too soon we were divided
Into darkness and light

Will you revive from the chaos in my mind
Where we still are bound together
Will you be there waiting by the gates of dawn
When I close my eyes forever

Save me
Reverse how I'm thinking of you
Every breath I take
Brings me closer
Closer to forever, to you
I'm waiting for the day that I'm gone

All too soon we were divided
And life had just begun

Will you revive from the chaos in my mind
Where we still are bound together
Will you be there waiting by the gates of dawn
When I close my eyes forever
Will you be there waiting by the gates of dawn
When I close my eyes forever

Once a while
When your sorrows have a name
And day is dark as night
There's no remorse and no redemption
Close the door, can you hear the crowd is waiting
For the last encore
Screaming out for my attention

Chanting my name

Welcome all
To curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra
Like a crescendo of gratitude
This is my song

Like the dead
I am on the other side
They're howling in my head
There's no remorse and no redemption
Hush my dear
Let the music fill the night
And soon it's all we hear
Screaming out for my attention

Chanting my name
Chanting my name

Welcome all
To curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra
Like a crescendo of gratitude

Don't wake me until it's over
I, I may be dreaming away

Chanting my name
Chanting my name

Welcome all
To curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra

Welcome all
To curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra

Once a while
When your sorrows have a name
And day is dark as night
There's no remorse and no redemption
Close the door, can you hear the crowd is waiting
For the last encore
Screaming out for my attention

Welcome all
To curtain call

Raging voices in my mind

sworn by the crown
I lead a crusade
fight for belief to be one

out in the field
fearless and cold
building the road to my Calvary

strong is my steel
dark is my mind
carmine the ground that I tread

faith in my god
keeps me alive
but when does my faith turn to doubt

silently watching the rain
carving the earth on my grave
lord you know that I prayed
one for the glory
and one for the souls that I've slain

how will I know
how could I tell
where would I find some serenity

sowing the seed
unwounded I bleed
lord won't you show me the way

christ is the cross that I bear
god is the will of my war
faint are the voices I hear
whispers of glory...

christ is the cry of despair
cursing the day I was born
this is the faith that we share
left with the glory
and suffering of souls that we've torn

look towards the sea tell me,
what do you see?
will you know what it is when you have found it?
you searched high above and you searched far below
but it still seems so far and you know it
time - it dwindles away
there's a clock on the wall
and it seems to be calling your name
you hide, but you can't run away
he'll be right there behind you
reminding you it's not a game
i will conquer the beast and i'll swim the seven seas
and my heart will still beat and i'll never give up
i will walk desert plains and endure gruelling pain
and my heart will still beat and i never give up
heaven is a heartbeat away for your dreams of
tomorrow could very well end today
heaven is a heartbeat away for your dreams of
tomorrow could very well end today

(HELENA:)
I remember a song
From long ago
Some of the pieces
They remind me of you
How could I know
You were to leave me
I thought that I was that melody
Oh so wrong
I'm but a whisper tonight

And if this is goodbye
I will leave
But I'll love you
Until the end

(RIVER SPIRIT:)
If the grace of God is real
And the word of Christ can heal
Bring their souls to heaven's light
Bless the unborn child tonight

[Roy]
Call me a liar, a king or a fool,
But sing me a song of prosperity
Higher and higher, the farther we fall
Hard to remember

[Simone]
I will surrender and I'll always wait
Wait as in all of eternity
Hard to remember
And hard to forget this shadow
That hangs over me

[Roy, Simone]
Take me home to a house on a hill, in oblivion
And take away this shadow over me

[Roy]
Cry me a river, but once you run dry
Say there's a reason you do
[Simone]
Godless endeavors, smothered and broken
All that I wanted was you

[Roy, Simone]
Take me home to a house on a hill, in oblivion
Where souls ever die all alone
You're longing for love, not for sympathy
So take away this shadow over me

[Roy] Under the starlight you shine your solitude
[Simone] Eyes on the ocean and far beyond west of the moon

[Roy, Simone]
Take me home to a house on a hill, in oblivion
Where souls ever die all alone
You're longing for love, not for sympathy
Over the hills
Home, to your house on a hill, to oblivion
Where souls ever die all alone
You're longing for love, not for sympathy
So take away this shadow over me

I'm not sure if she could ease your pain
You've been gone for a while
Crushed your heart and soul and teased your bane
Hush your mouth
Here she, here she comes, here she comes
Watch out

She can see you like the hounds of hell
Smells your fear when you flee
Here she comes, velvet ocean paradise
The power sorceress at your finger tips
God made flesh perfect alibi

You saw her walking over poison ivy leaves,
Nobody knows her name
But something must have opened your eyes, it seems
Cause nothing is quite the same

I'm not sure about a thing you know
Days are long in the haze
Here she comes, velvet ocean paradise
The power sorceress get a glimpse of God
Here she comes with her good advice

You wanted every single moment you've resigned
Knowing there's none to blame
You might as well I swear on my life you tried
As if tomorrow came

Searching in the deepest forest
Merging with belief you saw her
All you've seen and all you've known
Tells you that she kept you warm

You saw her walking over poison ivy leaves
Nobody knows her name
And something must have opened your eyes, it seems
Cause nothing is quite the same

You've wanted every single moment you've resigned
Knowing there's none to blame
You might as well have swear on the life I try
As if tomorrow came

(Mephisto:)
When you play with fire
You must anticipate some burns
Chasing for desire...
It's just a different way to learn

(Ariel:)
I am defected from God
(God had seized my soul)
So low redemptions too far
(I am heaven's sheen)
She's the one that I loved
(Love is all around)
And she tore me apart
(The dark can never win)

(Mephisto:)
All that I require
Is some trust as the pages turn
I can take you higher
Cause your will is my concern

(Ariel:)
I am defected from God
(God had seized my soul)
So low redemptions too far
(I am heaven's sheen)
She's the one that I loved
(Love is all around)
And she tore me apart
(The dark can never win)

So long, maybe forever
I must carry on

Why did God take away
That one thing I wanted
Maybe God is the melody
We all serenade

(Mephisto:)
You would not feel sadness
If you never tasted joy
That's the curse of humans
Born in passion you destroy

(Ariel:)
I am defected from God
(God had seized my soul)
So low redemptions too far
(I am heaven's sheen)
She's the one that I loved
(Love is all around)
And she tore me apart
(The dark can never win)

C'era una volta un uomo
Con gli occhi verso la luna
E si chiedeva:
"Verro presto l'amore?"
E che altro esiste
In un cuore gelato?
Tranne il pensiero
Di un assassinio molto silenzioso

I had to climb the highest mountain
I was on my own
And i had to walk through fire and rain
In my search for you
I will search for you
I had to sail the seven seas
Into no mans land
And I found my place in history
Found out who I am
Who am i?
Irea
I close my eyes and call your name
Irea
I pretend you're mine again
I fall into you once again
Chasing memories
And i will live in Cardinal Sin
when you set me free
Wont you set me free?
Irea
I close my eyes and call your name
Irea
I pretend you're mine again
Irea
I need you here
Irea
Once you are gone I go insane

I am a king of honor
gold and glory
but every king must also die
have I been just and righteous
what is glory
I know I've torn and taken life

and here I stand
a small and simple man

who will trade his karma for my kingdom
a sacrificial rite to render truth
the fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
cause all you do in life comes back to you

I am a king in crisis
counting minutes
there is an ending to my reign
my sins have come to face me
I can feel it
that I have lived my life in vain

and now I know I'll reap
the seeds I've sown

who will trade his karma for my kingdom
a sacrificial rite to render truth
the fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
cause all you do in life comes back to you

am I mad
I feel so void and cold
who can tell
who holds the stories untold
tired and trembling
I am descending
will I have to stay here
and live this life again

I am a king of honor
Gold and glory
But every king must also die
Have I been just and righteous
What is glory
I know I've torn and taken life

And here I stand
A small and simple man

Who will trade his karma for my kingdom
A sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
Cause all you do in life comes back to you

I am a king in crisis
Counting minutes
There is an ending to my reign
My sins have come to face me
I can feel it
That I have lived my life in vain

And now I know I'll reap
The seeds I've sown

Who will trade his karma for my kingdom
A sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
Cause all you do in life comes back to you

Am I mad
I feel so void and cold
Who can tell
Who holds the stories untold
Tired and trembling
I am descending
Will I have to stay here
And live this life again

Who will trade his karma for my kingdom
A sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
Cause all you do in life comes back to you

Seize this regal day
Your time has come
Reach for the crown
Take all that you can
Its your time to become the King
Its time to take
All that life has to give to you
Look towards the heavens search you soul
It will tell you the truth that i'm told
Brave men will fight
Weak men will always die
Never to reach the the top of the mountainside
Look through these King's Eyes
What do you see?
Fortune and glory and triumphs to be
Look through these King's Eyes
What do they tell?
Your desire will never be killed
There's a certain feeling you get
At the moment you know you're the one
That sets the course of your own destiny
Controlled by you alone feel it rise
Inside your heart
The winning force at hand reach for the crown
Take all that you can
You can do anything
You can be king
Don't be controlled
Master your own destiny
Brave men will fight
Weak men will always die
Never to reach the the top of the mountainside
Look through these King's Eyes
What do you see?
Fortune and glory and triumphs to be
Look through these King's Eyes
What do they tell?
Your desire will never be killed
Look through these eyes...

When they met she was fifteen
Like a black rose blooming wild
And she already knew
She was gonna die

"What's tomorrow without you?
This is our last goodbye..."

She got weaker every day
As the autumn leaves flew by
Until one day she told him
"This is when I die"

"What was summer like for you?"
She asked him with a smile
"What's tomorrow without you?"
He silently replied

[She said]
"I will always be with you
I'm the anchor of your sorrow
There's no end to what I'll do
Cause I love you
I love you to death"

But the sorrow went too deep
The mountain fell too steep
And the wounds would never heal
Cause the pain of the loss
Was more than he could feel

[He said]
"I will always be with you
By the anchor of my sorrow
All I know or ever knew
Is I love you
I love you to death"

"What's tomorrow without you?
Is this our last goodbye?"

"I will always be with you
I'm the anchor of your sorrow
There's no end to what I'll do
Cause I love you..."

little do I know
little do I care
little would it help
if knew and was aware
aim beyond the stars
catch a glimpse of gold
a planetary chart
where the stories are untold

there's a piece of truth for everyone
give me something to die for
like a sacrifice for days bygone
in my solitude

there's a place where I want to hide
with a view to a shallow moon
there's a star in my cosmic mind
that reminds me of you

a gathering of wolfs
under luna's light
fear of the unknown
make us worshippers at night

there's a compromise for everyone
but I need something to die for
like a sacrifice for days bygone
in my solitude

there's a place where I want to hide
with a view to a shallow moon
there's a star in my cosmic mind
that reminds me of you

tokens of the afterlife
feeding on the blood of christ
chasing for an alibi
searching for the holyland
following the masterplan
does it matter in end?

souls unwoken
hearts unbroken
lunar rites
seize tonight

English translation:
Aspirat primo fortuna labori The fortune is smiling at our first effort
Me duce tutus eris Let me lead you and you will be safe
Vox populi vox dei The voice of people, voice of god
Ad maiorem dei gloriam... For bigger glory of the god
Ad infinitum To the infinity

You know just who I am
Don't be so distant
'Cause when you're lost, I am solely there
To share your grief

Wailing your sorrow is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow, you're lonely, I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth

Now tell me all about your pain
Down to the detail
Don't say it's love
Your fragile heart feeds my contempt

Wailing your sorrow is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow, you're lonely, I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth

Chase the heathen call
We belong, you and I
Unison in all you deny

Wailing your sorrow is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow, you're lonely, I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth

I am the thorn in your side that seeks accomplishment
Reminding the mortal of death
I am the spore of your pride, an angel, Heaven-sent
The master of all
I am the urge of the flesh
