01. Victoriam Speramus

When all the lights go down and when the final curtain falls
When there is nothing left to say
Eternity eventually will linger through abandoned halls
Will leave us struck in disarray

The time has come for us to earn ourselves a new day
Go down on bended knees and pray

Victoriam speramus, damnate timiditam
Concordiam optamus, iuvate libertatem
Victoriam speramus, negate subversorem
Concordiam optamus nunc

One man's peace of mind might be another man's despair
In these our enigmatic times
While some pray for redemption
Some hope they'll redeem themselves through prayer
To each his own, this is your life

The time has come for us to earn ourselves a new day
Go down on bended knees and pray

Victoriam speramus, damnate timiditam
Concordiam optamus, iuvate libertatem
Victoriam speramus, negate subversorem
Concordiam optamus nunc

Victoriam speramus, damnate timiditam
Concordiam optamus, iuvate libertatem
Victoriam speramus, negate subversorem
Concordiam optamus, victoriam speramus
Negate subversorem, concordiam optamus nunc

02. Will You Be There For Me

Will you be by my side or are you gonna leave when it all falls down
Will you stay with me all the way or will I find that you're nowhere to be found
Would you rescue my life or would you break the promise that you once made
Say would you carry me all the way or would you leave me out there in the rain

Everything's been swell so far but one thing I need to know

Quo vadimus?
Will you be there for me, will you be near to save me and dry my tears
Quo vadimus?
Will you be there for me, will you be here, I need you to be sincere
Quo vadimus?
You may never know how much this means to me
Will you be there for me
Quo vadimus?

Would you lift me back up or would you shove my face
In the drift for good
Would you stick to the things you said
Or would you tell me "baby, you misunderstood"
Will you be there for me or don't you give me a damn about what I feel
Say would you carry me all the way or could you care less about my needs

Everything's been swell so far but one thing I need to know

Quo vadimus?
Will you be there for me, will you be near to save me and dry my tears
Quo vadimus?
Will you be there for me, will you be here, I need you to be sincere
Quo vadimus?
You may never know how much this means to me
Will you be there for me
Quo vadimus?

Everything's been swell so far but one thing I need to know

Quo vadimus?
Will you be there for me, will you be near to save me and dry my tears
Quo vadimus?
Will you be there for me, will you be here, I need you to be sincere
Quo vadimus?
You may never know how much this means to me
Will you be there for me
Quo vadimus?
You may never know how much this means to me
Will you be there for me

03. Why

Questions questions intertwined, a secret to be told
I need some answers to ease my mind, I need them to unfold
Pages turned under pallid light, my confidence out cold
The truth a lie, but why, tell me

Why do you leave me in the cold
Why did you break this heart of gold
Why did you lie to me, tell me why
Respondate confestim
Why do you leave me in the cold
Why did you break this heart of gold
Why did you lie to me, tell me why
Respondate confestim

Answers answers you've been found, the secret stripped and bare
Reality turned upside down, the truth has left me scared
I need to break away right now instead I'm trapped in here
The truth a lie, but why, tell me

Why do you leave me in the cold
Why did you break this heart of gold
Why did you lie to me, tell me why
Respondate confestim
Why do you leave me in the cold
Why did you break this heart of gold
Why did you lie to me, tell me why
Respondate confestim

Why do you leave me in the cold
Why did you break this heart of gold
Why did you lie to me, tell me why
Respondate confestim
Why do you leave me in the cold
Why did you break this heart of gold
Why did you lie to me, tell me why
Respondate confestim

04. No More Lies

How, how do I know what's real, tell me how, tell me now

How, how do I know what's real or what a girl supposed to feel
When all around me seems so weird, tell me now

No more lies - veritas tecum
The pries I have to pay is way too high
No more lies - veritas tecum
No I don't want to make this sacrifice
I never will cause I don't want to live with all your lies
No more lies - veritas tecum, veritas

And how, how do I know what's true or what a girl's supposed to do
Will all the lies you put me through, tell me now

No more lies - veritas tecum
The pries I have to pay is way too high
No more lies - veritas tecum
No I don't want to make this sacrifice
I never will cause I don't want to live with all your lies
No more lies - veritas tecum, veritas

I, I decided long ago that I won't take this anymore
I just can't this anymore, no more

No more lies - veritas tecum
The pries I have to pay is way too high
No more lies - veritas tecum
No I don't want to make this sacrifice
I never will cause I don't want to live with all your lies
No more lies - veritas tecum, veritas

05. Quae Laetitia

Let me show you my world
See through the eyes of the girl
Break this chains, wash away the stains
Until nothing but a free mind remains

Maybe then you will see
What the beauty of life truly means
Take my hand for the time we'll spend
On this journey through a new wonderland

Quae laetitia!
Quae magnanimitas eximia!
Quae laetitia!
Quae magnitudo et psalmodia!
Celebrate, iubilate
Celebrate vitam et libertatem
Celebrate, iubilate
Ecce vita!

There's no place around
Where the beauty of life can't be found
Hear the wind whisper tales and hymns
Of a new dawn about to begin

Quae laetitia!
Quae magnanimitas eximia!
Quae laetitia!
Quae magnitudo et psalmodia!
Celebrate, iubilate
Celebrate vitam et libertatem
Celebrate, iubilate
Ecce vita!

Leave your past behind
Let go of the doubts in your mind
Change your ways here's the chance you craved
For a new start with the cleanest of slates

Quae laetitia!
Quae magnanimitas eximia!
Quae laetitia!
Quae magnitudo et psalmodia!
Celebrate, iubilate
Celebrate vitam et libertatem
Celebrate, iubilate
Ecce vita!

06. Always & Forever

Will the sun rise again, will the morning come
Will there be another day before we come undone
Will we set sail again or is this our last stand
Will tomorrow smile on us or have we reached the end

Who knows?
But this I know for sure
They can't take that away from me
My memories of you will live

Always and forever
Aeternitas veniat
Aeternitas coniunctionis
Always and forever
Aeternitas veniat
Aeternitas sponsionis
Amor vero sicut est anulus, finem non habet
Always

Will the moon shine on us, will she be our guide
Will we find a way to slow the floating sands of time
Will we see the light of day or must we say farewell
Will tomorrow smile on us or are we bound to fail

Who knows?
But this I know for sure
They can't take that away from me
My memories of you will live

Always and forever
Aeternitas veniat
Aeternitas coniunctionis
Always and forever
Aeternitas veniat
Aeternitas sponsionis
Amor vero sicut est anulus, finem non habet
Always

Always and forever
Aeternitas veniat
Aeternitas coniunctionis
Always and forever
Aeternitas veniat
Aeternitas sponsionis
Amor vero sicut est anulus, finem non habet
Always and forever
Aeternitas veniat
Aeternitas coniunctionis
Always and forever
Aeternitas veniat
Aeternitas sponsionis
Amor vero sicut est anulus, finem non habet
Always

08. Save Me

Oh how sweet that the thoughts and dreams are free
My emotions flying high, imagination running wild
Just the thought of you makes me giggle like a little fool
How I wish that you were near to quickly get me out of here

Won't you save me, set me free, unbreak me
Save me, get me out of here and take me home
Cogita rationabilis, carpe vitam honorabilis
Save me, set me free, unbreak me
Save me, I'm waiting here please take me home

Thanks to you I saw places that I never knew
That one moment in time made all difference in my life
Being away from you makes me feel the darkest shade of blue
How I hope that you are near so you can get me out of here

Won't you save me, set me free, unbreak me
Save me, get me out of here and take me home
Cogita rationabilis, carpe vitam honorabilis
Save me, set me free, unbreak me
Save me, I'm waiting here please take me home

Say you'll be here, say you'll be here, say you'll be here

Won't you save me, set me free, unbreak me
Save me, get me out of here and take me home
Cogita rationabilis, carpe vitam honorabilis
Save me, set me free, unbreak me
Save me, I'm waiting here please take me home

09. Animus Liber

Carry me away to a brighter day
Carry me away, spread those wings for me

At the end of the day everyone falters
No time to waste with sands running low
So I capture the wind, I will shed my skin
I won't consider what might have been
Embracing the sky, the ultimate high
My heart and my mind and my soul will fly

Animus liber - carry me away
Animus liber - to a brighter day
Animus liber - carry me away
Spread those wings for me

By the end of the night lightness takes over
New sights ahead, places to go
So I capture the wind, I will shed my skin
I won't consider what might have been
So I'll walk through that door unlike before
My heart and my mind and my soul will soar

Animus liber - carry me away
Animus liber - to a brighter day
Animus liber - carry me away
Spread those wings for me

Animus liber - carry me away
Animus liber - to a brighter day
Animus liber - carry me away
Spread those wings for me

Carry me away to a brighter day
Carry me away, spread those wings for me

10. You And I

You gave me oh so much that I never wanted
You gave me everything I can't stand
You're like a ton of dust when I'm lost in the desert
A bag of bricks when I'm stuck in quicksand

You're a pool of fuel when my house is on fire
You're like a blindfold in the dark
You're like a glass of water when I'm drowning in the ocean
A bag of tricks when all I want is straight play

Vade retro inimice vade retro nunc - make my day say byebye
Vade retro inimice - there's one more bridge to burn

You and I were like angels in the sky
Till we both came crashing down
This you-and-I thing's over now
You and I were like angels in the sky
Till we set our wings on fire
This you-and-I thing's bound to die

Tell me whatever happened to our bed of roses
And why it turned into a bed of thorns
I'm the bird on the beach too bad that you to me
Are like the oilpollution coming to kill me

To me you're just as lovely as a nasty train-wreck
I'll miss you like a hole in my head
So do us both a favor go and hit the road jack
Please get lost cause I'm sick off fighting

Vade retro inimice vade retro nunc - make my day say byebye
Vade retro inimice - there's one more bridge to burn

You and I were like angels in the sky
Till we both came crashing down
This you-and-I thing's over now
You and I were like angels in the sky
Till we set our wings on fire
This you-and-I thing's bound to die

Thanks for absolutely nothing, thanks for absolutely nothing

Vade retro inimice vade retro nunc - make my day say byebye
Vade retro inimice - there's one more bridge to burn

You and I were like angels in the sky
Till we both came crashing down
This you-and-I thing's over now
You and I were like angels in the sky
Till we set our wings on fire
This you-and-I thing's bound to die

11. Going My Way

You promised that we'd stick together like glue
With me you'd even take a trip to the moon
I can't understand how a man makes such plans
Then dances the dance to a totally different tune

I'm out on my own now but I'll make it somehow
You just can't keep me down

I'm going my way, no matter what you say
It's about me baby come what may I'm going my way
Oh I'm going my way, better listen what I say
It's all about me baby come what may I'm going my way

Well I might have fallen but I tell you darling
That soon I'll be back on my feet
I sorted you out boy the bail's in your court now
Go find a way to make it up to me

I'm out on my own now but I'll make it somehow
You just can't keep me down

I'm going my way, no matter what you say
It's about me baby come what may I'm going my way
Oh I'm going my way, better listen what I say
It's all about me baby come what may I'm going my way
I'm out on my own now but I'll make it somehow
I'll go my own way, you can't keep me down
I might be wrong but I'll keep holding on
Oh and try all my best, baby, I'm here to stay
Cause I'm going my way

I'm going my way, no matter what you say
It's about me baby come what may I'm going my way
Oh I'm going my way, better listen what I say
It's all about me baby come what may I'm going my way
I'm out on my own now but I'll make it somehow
I'll go my own way, you can't keep me down
I might be wrong but I'll keep holding on
Oh and try all my best, baby, I'm here to stay
Cause I'm going my way

12. The Tears I Cry

As I awoke this morning and realized you were gone
I wondered what life would be like if we were over and gone

And I know that
I can't replace your face, your touch, your smile
I miss you like crazy, I'm lost inside
I promise I'll wait for you wasting my time
Trying to count all the tears I cry

When I'll rest my head tonight this house just won't feel like home
And I'll lay there helplessly yearning, staring all night at the phone

And I know that
I can't replace your face, your touch, your smile
I miss you like crazy, I'm lost inside
I promise I'll wait for you wasting my time
Trying to count all the tears I cry
The tears I cry

No, I can't replace your face, your touch, your smile
I miss you like crazy, I'm lost inside
I promise I'll wait for you wasting my time
Trying to count all the tears I cry
The tears I cry
