"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) |

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 |

Sleepless
Not really quite awake Where the soul conforms To deeper needs Free within frames of custody I revolve my spirit and exhale On the edge of paradise Poison burning In my veins Unavailing...compromised My dreams remain the same Soothing but yet so violent In this world within the other world Moonlight...in visions...heaven sent I see demon eyes and wings unfurled On the edge of paradise Poison burning In my veins Unavailing...compromised My dreams remain the same On the edge of paradise Powerless I sail on by Undermining life itself My will to wonder why |

I recall one summer's night
Within the month of June Flowers in mahogany hair And smell of earth in bloom Only such a melody Comes without a sound More than faintly heard by those Who know what they have found Now it's just a memory Silently we wander Into this void of consequence My shade will always haunt her But she will be My guiding light Silently we wander In search of truth and confidence So many hopes were lost here Along the way From morning to night Meet me by the wishing well In cover of the moon Whisper to me tenderly That I will see you soon Sing that song from long ago So I remember you Flowers in mahogany hair And mellow days in June Only for the memory Silently we wander Into this void of consequence My shade will always haunt her But she will be My guiding light Silently we wander In search of truth and confidence So many hopes were lost here Along the way From morning to night From ashes we were born In silence we unite Silently we wander Into this void of consequence My shade will always haunt her But she will be My guiding light Silently we wander In search of truth and confidence So many hopes were lost here Along the way From morning to night Silently we wander Into this void of consequence My shade will always haunt her But she will be My guiding light Silently we wander In search of truth and confidence So many hopes were lost here Along the way |

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...

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 |

Need I say How could you find me here You, of all have crossed my way Unexpectedly... from where I feel like I am dreaming Hold me close Tomorrow may be gone This is a moment Of belief This is a moment Made of dreams You found me here today On the coldest winter night This moment is our right Now, Helena tell me all For years we've been apart Did you hear the mountain fall ...my broken heart Don't wake me if I'm dreaming Hush my dear Because tomorrow may be gone Lost in the present I'm sure This is the moment Say no more You found me here today On the coldest winter night This moment is our right This is a moment Of belief This is a moment Made of dreams You found me here today On the coldest winter night This moment is our right |

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 |

I just had a dream
She was by the riverside Alone and dressed in white Paling in the cold Walking on the icy face On memories of glory days Carry on Carry on Meet me on the other side Once the mourning after turns to day Carry on Carry on Keep on to the other side The mourning after slowly fades How could I have known Just the thought is simply wild In her womb...a little child I am left to roam On the surface of a dream In a world that can't be seen Carry on Carry on Meet me on the other side Once the mourning after turns to day Carry on Carry on Keep on to the other side The mourning after slowly fades Carry on Carry on Just you carry on Till the mourning is over Carry on Carry on Just you carry on Till the mourning after leaves Carry on Carry on Meet me on the other side Once the mourning after turns to day Carry on Carry on Keep on to the other side The mourning after slowly fades Carry on Carry on Maybe in another life Once the mourning after turns to day Carry on Carry on Cross the water, cross the tide The mourning after... |

Rules without exceptions last eternally
Every move you make creates your destiny I've come to soak my sorrow in halo black As black as the seal on my soul (Cause when the lights are down there's no more to say) Love is the real pain An internal revolution in our minds (And when the lights are down you're so far away) Tell me your real name In the silence of the darkness we unite (Rules without exceptions last eternally Every move you make creates your destiny) What can protect me from the past And all the things that I have done She told me and then she was gone (But when the lights are down there's no more to say) Deep in the shadows Where the last of my delusions made a stand (Cause when the lights are down she'll take me away) Tell me her real name And in death we'll live the love we never had Come all ye faithful beneath the moon Into the void as one Marching on (Cause when the lights are down there's no more to say) Love is the real pain An internal revolution in our minds (Cause when the lights are down she'll take me away) Tell me her real name And in death we'll live the love we never had |

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 |

Pushing for the limit of sanity
Pushing for the surface So I can breathe Dark is the night for us all, but some days I feel the light crawling down these jagged walls Blessed sunlight Some of this pain is sole subjected But what was I to do Some of this pain will always stay Deep and true I left her with a warning, without protection Cause the human nature has its ways, with lust With her back against the wall, she crumbled Just a minute more would save her life And even so, part of me Blessed sunlight Some of this pain is sole subjected But what was I to do Some of this pain will always stay Deep and true Some of this pain is sole subjected But what was I to do Some of this pain will always stay Deep and true I see her shame in my desire It all took place too soon Some of these wounds will always bleed Over you Over you |

Under the same old sun All alone yet somehow bound and unified Dust to dust Ashes to ashes won't take long We search for a harbour Somewhere to belong They say that faith is all you need To stay forever young What you've sown is what you reap Our sins can't be undone There is a god in each society So right is wrong where wrong is right No one could be sure Still we are certain That what we know is truth The only truth We're building our temples taller They say that faith is all you need To stay forever young What you've sown is what you reap Our sins can't be undone How can we trust them once again They used to tell us lies And their voices will sustain Cause nothing ever dies Love, love is the only truth Pure as the well of youth Until it breaks your heart You took me higher Than the mountains I have climbed You, you waited all your life for me You left me all alone behind But we'll meet again We will meet again All alone They say that faith is all you need To stay forever young What you've sown is what you reap Our sins can't be undone How can we trust them once again They used to tell us lies And their voices will sustain Cause nothing ever dies |

Songs of happiness and some that make us cry One song we share The cross we all bear One that segregates One that unifies All we wonder No one ever denies If once given life we must die So bow down with me Where summer fades into fall And leave your hatchets of hate Bow down with me And sing the saddest of all The song we all serenade The more we know The less we understand Life... eternity The savagery of man We want it all Aimed at the fall What is destiny with the masterplan All we wonder No one ever denies If once given life we must die So bow down with me Where summer fades into fall And leave your hatchets of hate Bow down with me And sing the saddest of all The song we all serenade Hold on now Don't leave don't let it go Dance away the waltz of life Right or wrong The seed we never sow That's our loss Our sacrifice What does the winter bring If not yet another spring |

See the cemetery sky
Carmine red and deep Watch the oceans rising high It's the human stain Talk about the growing hunger Ask why with deep concern Don't you think the human race is ceaselessly vain But it hurts to be alive, my friend In this silent tide we're driftwood passing by Don't you wish you were a child again Just for a minute Just for a minute more Hear the ticking of a clock The sound of life itself No one really wants to die To save the world Tell me that you're torn asunder From how we fail to learn And tell me as the earth goes under Where's your anger now So it hurts to be alive, my friend In this masquerade where all one day must die Don't you wish you were unborn again Just for a minute Just for a minute more Tick tock The ticking that could tear asunder The beating from a heart of stone The lust of your divine prosperity Cause it costs to be alive, my friend And this life that someone merely gave to you That's the price you pay Minute by minute You beg for a minute more |

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..." |

They claim with conviction You got a crowd So what's your appeal Your voice Your predictions They're getting loud Well if I let you die You must forgive me Raise me up Up through the ashes [Welcome the paradise you made] Take me on Into the light You want to die Create a sensation Be making the news An eye for an eye My king of creation King of the jews Before I let you die You must forgive me Raise me up Up through the ashes [Welcome the paradise you made] Take me on Into the light Give me sign of remorse I don't need your blood You will hang on the cross For playing god You the people must decide The self proclaimed prophet Or the malice murderer The king or the convict It's up to you So tell me Who's free to go (Barabbas, Barabbas, Barabbas!) Raise me up Up through the ashes [Forgive my every sin] Take me on Into the light |

Under fears you restore your beliefs,
Like an old man in church on a Sunday. Crawl the dirt on your elbows and knees, Any minute you know you could die. So come save us, turn water to wine, Give me words of unfathomable wisdom As I'm crossing the enemy's line, Where the wounded and dead show the way. (Show me the way) Tell me when the night is gone, Like washed away, Make a wish Beneath the mourning star. How can there be a reason for war For the life of a human that suffers I remember, I heard it before, Tell me all when a new day begins. (The new day begins) Tell me when the night is gone, Like washed away, Make a wish beneath the mourning star. When the victory is won, The old cliche, Underneath the same old mourning star. [Rest in peace all that be good] Why please tell me why [Rest in peace thy fatherhood] You gave the world all this pain Tell me when the night is gone, Like washed away, Make a wish Beneath the mourning star. When the victory is won, The old cliche, Underneath the same old mourning star. |

I don't dare to take it slowly,
Cause time may pass me by. Restless like a newborn morning, I am hard to satisfy. Will you take me away? In the silence of the darkness, I can't pretend I'm wide awake Afraid I could go under. In the silence of the darkness, I stumble for the light of day, But the journey never ends. I can paint the world with flowers, Grown by heaven's gate. And reckless like a stormy ocean, I could cover them with hate. But it all sounds the same. In the silence of the darkness, I can't pretend I'm wide awake, Afraid I could go under. In the silence of the darkness, I stumble for the light of day, But the journey never ends. In the silence of the darkness, I can't pretend I'm wide awake, Afraid I could go under. In the silence of the darkness, I stumble for the light of day, But the journey never ends. |

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. |

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 |

In a garden in a hand
Lies a key to shadowland You're far from feeling strong (The worst begins) In the sediments of life In the comfort of a knife You hold your breath And pray to god it won't take long And you wonder where the rainbow ends With its autumn setting sun There's a way from it all Though the chances are small We'll come back again Won't you think it over Life is a pendulous fall But maybe worth the pain And soon enough we'll go Where nobody can touch us Like a mother you were aimed And you gave her what she claimed Just like a good old friend In the abyss of the mind You found all there is to find But we all have broken hearts to mend So you wonder where the rainbow ends Where the world must have begun There's a way from it all Though the chances are small We'll come back again Won't you think it over Life is a pendulous fall But maybe worth the pain And soon enough we'll go Where nobody can touch us There's a way from it all Though the chances are small We'll come back again Won't you think it over Life is a pendulous fall But maybe worth the pain And soon enough we'll go Life is a pendulous fall But maybe worth the pain (So you wonder where the rainbow ends) Where nobody can touch us |

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 |

Come wind, come snow, come winterland
I have resigned myself to death Come will to show the hidden hand So I can draw my final breath You could take me higher So you said, I trusted you I may be a liar But betrayal lies on you I can feel when the journey ends Final call for a last defence Darkness come tonight I have no fear of what you hold Darkness come alive You are the stories I've been told I possess the power Of survival in the cold Life is like a flower As it stumbles out of fall We all know when our time has come This is where I will linger on Darkness come tonight I have no fear of what you hold Darkness come alive You are the stories I've been told Darkness come tonight Nothing can take my faith away Darkness come alive Life fades to black from silver grey Darkness come tonight I have no fear of what you hold Darkness come alive You are the stories I've been told Darkness come tonight Nothing can take my faith away Darkness come alive Life fades to black from silver grey |

If my soul could revive from my carnal remains
What does it matter to me If it all fades to black, if I'm born once again Then no one really is free How could I be condemned for the things that I've done If my intentions were good I guess I'll never know some things under the sun Can never be understood How can we believe in heaven Human reason counters all Ideas of soul society My life is just a fragment Of the universe and all There must be more than I can see In the dark we're the same, in the concept of time We're like a grain in the sand And we strive for the flame as if death was our aim Cause we cannot understand How I wish there was a heaven All for one and one for all A flawless strong society Our lives are just a fragment Of the universe and all There may be more than we can see How could I be condemned for the things that I've done If my intentions were good I guess I'll never know, some things under the sun Can never be understood How can we believe in heaven All for one and one for all Ideas of soul society Our lives are just a fragment Of the universe and all There may be more than we can see |

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 |

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 |

Made me believe that, that you were her Just like the river disturbs My inner peace Once I believed I could find Just a trace of her beloved soul Once I believed she was all Then she smothered my beliefs One cold winter's night I may follow her voice to the river Leave me for now and forever Leave what you can Somewhere in time I will find you and haunt you again Like the wind sweeps the earth Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend You've fallen deep I was a liar in every debate I rule the forces that fuelled your hate When the cold in my heart leaves it comes to an end Quietly I'll go to sleep How could that first time recur When memories linger on and on What made me think you were her Helena is dead to all, dead to all Nothing can bring her to life Don't pretend that I'll be loving you Once I believed she was gone I corrupted from within Leave, leave me for now and forever Leave what you can Somewhere in time I will find you and haunt you again Like the wind sweeps the earth Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend You've fallen deep I was a liar in every debate I rule the forces that fuelled your hate When the cold in my heart leaves it comes to an end Quietly I'll go to sleep [ARIEL] Follow me into the light [Marguerite] Like ice on a lake of tears I'll take you through [ARIEL] Leave me tonight [ARIEL / Marguerite] I've gone too far to begin all anew / Life fades in [ARIEL & Marguerite] With someone like you Somewhere in time I will find you and love you again Like the wind sweeps the earth Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend You've fallen deep I was a liar in every debate I rule the forces that fuelled your hate When the cold in my heart leaves it comes to an end Quietly I'll go to sleep Sleep |

I get restless over pity smiles Some precaution wouldn't harm my history If I had the will to wait a little while You cut the silence like a knife You know I can't repent for all Moonlight falling over me Sail on where the shadows hide Moonlight crawling down on me Just like you could not compete with my pride Compensation for a misconducted life Is it way too much to ask Hard to wake up With your heart and soul deprived When the morning comes The second to your last You cut the silence like a knife At the edge of my last defenses You cut the silence like a knife You know I won't repent for all Moonlight falling over me Sail on where the shadows hide Moonlight crawling down on me Just like you could not compete with my pride Shine on silver from the sky into the night Gaia shivers and I need your leading light Moonlight falling over me Sail on where the shadows hide Moonlight crawling down on me Just like you could not compete with my pride |

Rules without exceptions last eternally
Every move you make creates your destiny I've come to soak my sorrow in halo black As black as the seal on my soul (Cause when the lights are down there's no more to say) Love is the real pain An internal revolution in our minds (And when the lights are down you're so far away) Tell me your real name In the silence of the darkness we unite (Rules without exceptions last eternally Every move you make creates your destiny) What can protect me from the past And all the things that I have done She told me and then she was gone (But when the lights are down there's no more to say) Deep in the shadows Where the last of my delusions made a stand (Cause when the lights are down she'll take me away) Tell me her real name And in death we'll live the love we never had Come all ye faithful beneath the moon Into the void as one Marching on (Cause when the lights are down there's no more to say) Love is the real pain An internal revolution in our minds (Cause when the lights are down she'll take me away) Tell me her real name And in death we'll live the love we never had |

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.

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 |

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 |

She was so kind to me
She sang her little shadow song And I could not resist it Bitter blood, come sing along With your hand upon the bible Would you swear that is the truth? (The whole truth and the truth alone) If she had only shut her mouth Shattered memories Of quiet cold rejection A careful devil's irony In pure perfection In pure deceit You ask me Was it all I had to tell? Was it all I could recall? No.. then I broke her neck A twisted china white facade I may seem unaffected But don’t we all want to be God? Is it all you can remember? Would you swear it on your life? You will never really know my name Without reflection A careful devil's irony In pure perfection In pure deceit But in the moment it’s so beautiful Flow along with the hunger With the nature of the beast These are shattered memories Of quiet cold rejection A careful devil's irony In pure perfection You will never really know my name Without reflection A careful devil's irony In pure perfection In pure deceit |

This life is dust on naked walls In the ruins of defeat The spotlights fade There's a clown without a crowd His sorrow smiles relentlessly Welcome winter bittersweet Of final fall My train of thoughts Keep on hauling me over a low again Easy to see for a someone Whose soul can bleed Who am I to overrule Believers at the wonder wall Some illusions come undone And violently My train of thoughts Keep on hauling me over a low again Easy to see for a someone Whose soul can bleed My train of thoughts Keep on hauling me over a low again Easy to see for a someone Whose soul can bleed So far astray When all comes to all You'll never be satisfied You might as well let go My train of thoughts Keep on hauling me over a low again Easy to see for a someone Whose soul can bleed My train of thoughts Keep on hauling me over a low again Easy to see for a someone Whose soul can bleed |

If you're craving a hero Or say life after death Was it you or was it me Who had to fake Implementation Of a lonely heart So warm and oh so weak My fractured eyes In the mold below The fattest lies Hold your needs Wait for the morning Come a different day Carry the weight of all You say is wrong We both would deny There is a secret fate A seal of woven years Of waiting flying by Rush my head Into your wall of complaints And crush me softly Like you crushed yourself asunder You better leave me be Now go For my soul was sold For a rainy day But it's not too late For a full retreat Wait for the morning Come a different day Carry the weight of all You say is wrong We both would deny There is a secret fate A seal of woven years Of waiting flying by [Instrumental part] Wait for the morning Come a different day Carry the weight of all You say is wrong We both would deny There is a secret fate A seal of woven years Of waiting flying by |

I am scorn in this heavenly scheme
With a stench of destruction I'm a reaper of beautiful dreams And she knows I'm on the edge, sacrilege! [Whispers] Push, please push me over Tell me once upon a time I close my eyes and see myself reborn [Choir] Righting the wrong I won't stay to stand in line Or wait for God to shine all over me I wait for the storm I am you and I know that you heard You and I are the last at the end of the world then we talk and we run and we hide then so what the human race suffocates [Whispers] Leave me breathless Tell me once upon a time I close my eyes and see myself reborn [Choir] Righting the wrong I won't stay to stand in line Or wait for God to shine all over me I wait for the storm I wait for the storm I wait for the storm Move along Through the ashes of a dream Move along I see myself anew again Tell me once upon a time I close my eyes and see myself reborn [Choir] Righting the wrong I won't stay to stand in line Or wait for God to shine all over me I wait for the storm |

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 |

sometimes my visions
are distant and vague down at the base of the mountain once in a while I am weak and afraid tired and sick of it all I don't believe that my story is set nothing is destined or blatant bound to this body a world full of hate no one will heed if I fall no one can see it but you know that it's there guiding the steps of your soul holding the truth in the cross that you bear die with a heart that is bold fly on the wings of despair no one is holding you back the call of the wild is internal conquer the silence you fear tomorrow will not fade to black a new day is dawning remember no one's controlling your fate the questions are more than the answers I know that doesn't mean you are lonely searching for more consecutive goal's making it worth to go on no one can see it but you know that it's there guiding the steps of your soul holding the truth in the cross that you bear die with a heart that is bold fly on the wings of despair no one is holding you back the call of the wild is internal conquer the silence you fear tomorrow will not fade to black a new day is dawning remember no one's controlling your fate you, and you alone is forging the path leave your sorrows with the past never believe that the story is set nothing is destined or blatant bound to this body a world full of hate no one will heed if you fall |

where has all the magic gone
lost behind or lost along a victim of the pulse of our society don't you miss the ancient times the riddles and the subtle signs a relative perspective on reality I get stronger in the splendor of a lucid moon I'm a creature of the night all my demons cast a spell the souls of dusk rising from the ashes so the book of shadows tell the weak will always obey the master heading for the dragons lair another time and a different sphere I leave the nothingness behind and when the sense of logic yields I'll escape the outer shields into the universal mind I get stronger in the splendor of a lucid moon only creatures of the night can heal my wounds |

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 |

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 |

yet a day is dawning
I am sad but also strong this gift that I've been given tells me where I do belong falling I'm falling down and you recall my strength time will slowly pull me under but you will catch my breath this is a praise to all of you cause the light I shine on you is what you gave to me I'm a crystal clear and true I'm your cairn and creed you think that I'm a mountain but there's a price I have to pay for the love I have forsaken can never be replaced crying I'm crying out be careful with my soul unbounded I'm like water but so fragile in the cold and this is a praise to all of you cause the light I shine on you is what you gave to me I'm a crystal clear and true I'm your cairn and creed the mysteries of life take us high and low the road can be long it seems someone is lost but no one is free falling I'm falling down into your open arms each and every gathered glow maintains my shining star this is a praise to all of you... |

I see you when it snows
in crystals dancing down from a sultry sky when silence is pure and unbreakable I can see you smiling in every frozen tear I can hear you whisper "You and I" little did we know that they were life itself the days passing by we both had our share in the sacrifice once upon a time we had something beautiful once upon a time I thought "you and I" take me wherever the answer lingers in the sand show me the way as the story unfolds love is remote in this wailing winter wonderland show me the way to the temples of gold bless me with a kiss across the universe when day and night converge and whisper my name till I fall asleep tell me tales from days bygone tell me little lies tell me once again it's just "you and I" |

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 |

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 |

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 |

long time ago
the seed was sown a child born in Uther's name concieved in sin the future King a new realm of truth proclaimed they came from far to meet this man they saw he was just and wise the flags unfold the fires rise reflecting the force in his eyes fighting for the crown pride and honor to be found born from sin into Merlin's hand once and future king vowed to return again in moonlit haze among the hills Sir Mordred, Morgana's shade would slay his king forever cling to darkness his powers fade fighting for the crown pride and honor to be found born from sin into Merlin's hand once and future king vowed to return again Bedivere, my best of knights this sword I beg you take to the place where it belongs and throw it in the lake into the war forever more the people shall follow the chosen one as when alive his will survives to rest on the island of Avalon fighting for the crown pride and honor to be found born from sin into Merlin's hand once and future king vowed to return again born from sin into Merlin's hand once and future king vowed to return again |

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 |

heat from the ground feeds the fire
my desire to live with this rage with thoughts of you filling my nights and my days sounds of the speaking of tongues visions of circles undone keeps this heart of mine beating for the time of our meeting will come and now i turn to the gods whichever will listen from below or above hear my cry, feel my pain if i should fall, i'll start over again hear my cry, feel my pain if i should die, i will rise again i scream to the sky full of anger my body increasingly weaker i won't die for you - i won't die for you heaven is a heartbeat away hear my cry, feel my pain if i should fall, i'll start over again hear my cry, feel my pain if i should die, i will rise again |

launch the silver spear
the world will cry a tear in the heavens will appear another angel hear the elders cry waiting for their time as they look towards the heavens why won't they answer? we are playing with nature splitting the atom confusing religions killing the masses we are not separate from what we destroy time has com for us to make the only choice we are not separate from what we destroy time has come for us to make the only choice we rape for our power not caring for life we tarnish our waters 'til they are as black as night we visualize the future with the eyes of the blind we hear nature calling but we still deny we are not separate from what we destroy time has come for us to make the only choice |
