I've been searching for an oasis
In the desert for so long In my weakness trying To pretend I'm strong I've been holding on To things that I have left behind I've been scared and lonely I'm crippled inside Bathed my soul in the starlight Healed my wounds in the sun Screamed my pain to the forest Asking the question why? Will there come a time for me when I find peace of mind Will I always have this feeling like I'm last in the line I will climb up the mountain and light up the candle and ask: "Will my soul ever rest in peace?" I've been washed in pain Haunted by the ghosts of years ago They won't leave me be They keep coming back for more Will there come a time for me when I find peace of mind Will I always have this feeling like I'm last in the line I will climb up the mountain and light up the candle and ask: "Will my soul ever rest in peace?" My crippled soul is yearning to be free Will there come a time for me when I find peace of mind Will I always have this feeling like I'm last in the line I will climb up the mountain and light up the candle and ask: "Will my soul ever rest in peace?" 02. Falling Into Fantasy
I'm sitting by the calm lake
And watch the setting sun My feet are in the water The journey's just begun In the mist there is a boat and it's heading towards me On the deck the lady's holding her hand and I agree I'm falling into fantasy The dream goes on We are traveling in the nightfall Until we stop somewhere Descending into water On dark and hazy stairs Now she's leading me to the golden palace that lays ahead She tells me I'm the one in her dreams and on her bed I'm falling into fantasy The dream goes on I'm falling into fantasy Drifting alone 03. The Curtains Are Falling
I'm back in the air, but I've nowhere to go
I nervously glance at the mountains below Two hours of sleep, seven more 'til the show I pray to the goddess of coffee to keep me alive The crew's getting wasted, we're back in the sky I join in the fray, 'coz the rules don't apply "Who cares anyway - when we're all gonna fry!" But somehow we manage to land and we all have survived... And the curtains are falling and the legions are calling tonight And the curtains are falling and the legions are calling tonight Have to fly away, though I'd rather stay That's the price you pay, that's the game we play When roaring to life the engines are loud The memories of you and the sound of the crowd They're fading away as we break through the clouds But I don't complain when we're back on the ground and alive... And the curtains are falling and the legions are calling tonight And the curtains are falling and the legions are calling tonight 04. Requiem
[Instrumental]
05. Bloodstone
I've been trying
There's no denying It's sending me Out of my mind I've seen reason Change to treason It's losing it's sense Of all kind How much longer will it take For the world to see We should learn to live And simply let it be Bloodstone, bloodstone In the night time Wake in fright I'm so scared of the game That's being played Start to wonder What's going under And how many deals Have been made How much longer will it take For the world to see We should learn to live And simply let it be Bloodstone, bloodstone Bloodstone I can't take it You got me living On a bloodstone I don't want that bloodstone 06. Kill The King
Danger, danger the Queen's about to kill
There's a stranger, stranger and life about to spill Oh no move me out of harm I need a spell and a charm Fly like the wind I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on Kill the king Tear him down Kill the king, yeah Strike him down Power, power it happens every day Power, power all along the way Oh no, move me out of harm I need a spell and a charm And fly like the wind I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on Kill the king Treason, treason, the spectre looms again Treason, reason, the realm is safe and then Oh no, move away from harm I need a spell and a charm Fly like the rainbow I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on Kill the king Tear him down Kill the king, yeah Got to take his crown Kill the king He'll rule no more Strike him dead The people roar Kill the king, yeah Take his head Down, down, down, down Oh, kill Oh, kill Oh, oh 07. I Surrender
I surrender to your heart babe
Do anything that you want me to do Please be tender I'm in your hands girl This is a feeling I never knew You know I tried to make it on my own That's not the way it was meant to be Spend my time waiting by the phone Oh darling come back to me I surrender, I surrender I'm giving up the role of pretender Oh be tender, girl be tender Can't you feel the love that I send you I surrender I remember, seems like a lifetime Can't believe it's a matter of days Since you left I'm near to heartbreak I want you so bad don't turn away What does it take to stay by my side You know I'll do what you want me to Don't take away this feeling inside I'm still in love with you I surrender, I surrender I'm giving up the role of pretender Oh be tender, girl be tender Can't you feel the love that I send you I surrender I surrender, I surrender Darling now won't you be tender Surrender, oh surrender Feel the love that I send you I surrender 08. Keep The Flame
The shadow falls on me today
Why can't it fade into the distance? And darkness calls, no other way I rage at the riddle of existence The day's almost gone but you'll carry on Can you keep the flame for me? The day's almost gone but you'll carry on Can you keep the flame for me? A broken plan, a fleeting past How do we always keep on trying? A tired man, is free at last What would the purpose be of lying? My life's almost gone but you'll carry on Can you keep the flame for me? My life's almost gone but please carry on Could you keep the flame for me? Will you keep the flame for me? 09. Why Are We Here?
When the stars are gone forever and planets are turned into dust
It's a good escape to lie in the haze In the past I found the answer in music and drinking and lust Waiting for the end and counting the days But I want to find an answer, so what if my terror dies And I want to find an answer, I look in your eyes Why are we here? Maybe you hold the answer Why are we here? Maybe you hold the answer When the sky is dark and winter has hidden the city in snow I remember summer's not far away And it seems the days are shorter and hours are passing so slow It's a nice escape to roll in the hay But I want to find an answer, so what if my terror dies And I want to find an answer, I look in your eyes Why are we here? Maybe you hold the answer Why are we here? Maybe you hold the answer 10. What Can I Say
Sometimes it's not that easy finding all the words
For how I feel when you are near The more we are together makes me realize All I ever wanted is you What can I say? You make all my dreams come true And every day I want you right here by my side To take my hand and hold me tight I never want to be alone again Oh my love The days are shorter now I'm reaching for some light And I find it in your eyes Brighter than the sun it filled me up with love Don't ever close them for me What can I say? You make all my dreams come true And every day I want you right here by my side To take my hand and hold me tight I never want to be alone again Oh my love Yes I know baby It takes a world to keep what we have And not let go I was lonely Before I met you But you wiped away all the sorrow What can I say? You make all my dreams come true And every day I want you right here by my side To take my hand and hold me tight I never want to be alone again What can I say? You make all my dreams come true And every day I want you right here by my side To take my hand and hold me tight I never want to be alone again Oh my love 11. Dream With Me
Now it is time for you to close your eyes
They've seen much pain it's slowly filling your mind Pretty as they are but now so pale You better leave all your worries far behind Not long ago when you had the Fire Burning inside of you brighter than any flame You were the one that I believed in Keeping our hopes up high where are you now? Where do you aim? Let me take you there To the place you know Why don't you Dream With Me The answers will be found Now it is time to open your eyes again See how all the sorrows have disappeared faded away I am right here waiting for your call If you still need me to guide your pace Through the day Let me take you there To the place you know Why don't you Dream With Me The answers will be found 12. When The Night Meets The Day
Look around there's no time to waste
Life goes on nothing's gonna change Feel the winds of life blowing cold It won't take so long you are growing old There is no answer to be found It is so easy to fall without a sound Days of loving and gold Kept me from feeling so old Times I'll always recall When the night meets the day Gates of heaven I saw While flying through the misty dawn Those days I'll always recall When the night meets the day I don't wanna let you out of my sight But here I'm lost and alone in the night 13. It's A Mystery
In the middle of the jungle
There are ruins of temples built along ago Stone by stone They were made by the Mayas A tribe that is not so well-known Each pictures on the wall Recorded history They were gazing at the sky Seeing stars telling them the days On the year Monuments marked time But altars meant death and fear Worshiping gods now gone long time ago The population grew, new cities were found What happened then? Was it a strange decease that wiped away almost everyone? Or it might have been starvation caused by drought and A scorching sun It's a mystery The way they disappeared It's now history We will never know 14. Cold Winter Nights
Summer's gone a while ago
The daylight dims away I'm watching here how the snow begins to fall Yesterday's like a dream A memory in my head Like the life's gone behind the winter wall I'm lighting up the candles and lock the door Sitting by the fire It's time to dream some more I have to find a way how to survive I am surrounded by the starlight I have to find the path How to escape from the Cold Winter Nights And in the morning there's no trace of the sun Just gray fog hanging above my head All the birds are quiet hiding in the woods Can't see no movement are they all dead? 15. Hunting High & Low
I feel the wind in my hair
And it's whispering, telling me things Of the storm that is gathering near Full of power I'm spreading my wings Now I'm leaving my worries behind Feel the freedom of body and mind I am starting my journey, I'm drifting away with the wind I go I am Hunting High and Low Diving from the sky above Looking for, more and more, once again I'm Hunting High and Low Sometimes I may win sometimes I'll lose It's just a game that I play After the storm there's a calm Through the clouds shines a ray of the sun I am carried from all of my harm There is no one that I can't outrun Now I'm leaving my worries behind Feel the freedom of body and mind I am starting my journey, I'm drifting away with the wind I go I am Hunting High and Low Diving from the sky above Looking for, more and more, once again I'm Hunting High and Low Sometimes I may win sometimes I'll lose It's just a game that I play That would be all... Be sure to hear from me again 16. Freedom
I set my goals higher everyday
I make my own rules that I will obey As long as I live This is the life I was born to lead Unique chance for me to express myself And fulfill my dreams I'm in control of this ship of mine And everything will be just fine Like the wind I'm free to go anywhere I got my song, it dances in the air Now I know what to do with my life So you will hear my freedom call All those bad things I once went through Changed into blessings when I changed the point of view I needed them to grow I've changed so much, I'm finally free To do what I want without feeling of guilt or fear It's so amazing I'm in control of this ship of mine And everything will be just fine Like the wind I'm free to go anywhere I got my song, it dances in the air Now I know what to do with my life So you will hear my freedom call 17. Neonlight Child
I live on the street, it is my home
All my life I've been alone I see people passing by And they lower their eyes It's been like this for so many years I had my share on lonely tears My parents left me long ago They did not want to know Tell me how can I stand the pain? Is there any hope for me at all? Hear me cry in the cold rain I never wanted to become A Neon Light Child There'll come a day when I'll be free I will make people look at me I'll leave everything behind There are good things for me to find [chorus] I'll be the rain I'll be alone Alone in the rain You left me here |
