"Holy was the star from which you were born,
To a world where darkness and fear take form A lonely soul with a heart of light to find Beyond reality, forgotten in time Seek the heart, seek in your dreams Visit your nightmares and realms yet unseen You are alone, the last one to be A representative of mankind to decide the final destiny Will you be saved or will you stay blind Deep in your soul the answer you'll find" The words were spoken, I cried in my hands The bringer of wisdom, or the one who condemns Can I succeed where the mighty have failed And re-create the harmony from where salvation hails 02. Dark Reflections
A black star fell down the night I was reborn
a last chance to save us, a last chance to turn dusk to dawn The vultures they cried out Their welcome to greet my arrival The shadows they danced for my death At the nightmare's trial The demons of fear tearing my sad soul apart A horned winged creature laughed out its scorn to the dawn The sun wasn't able to send down its light, swallowed by thoughts in my mind Dark was my conscience, I was the last of my kind [Chorus] I was dead Awake in hell A lonely corpse To break the spell A soul in flames A heart in chains Can't you see You must believe... The witchbrew was drained, I couldn't escape my fate Wrong was this place full with awful disgrace and hate Sweet ancient memories, fragments of times that have passed Came to my mind like a blessing with grace for my eyes [Chorus] 03. Voices In The Wind
"North is cold, summer is late
South is sorrow, surrounded by hate West is far, a dream you are creating East is here, and your fate is awaiting" 04. Under The Oak
Deep was my anguish for those words
they froze my blood and chained my soul the master had spoken, the truth, not any lies The devil gives and evil takes The things in life that man forsakes A throne in hell, a price or a sacrifice? Still the wind was blowing soft And gentle here under the oak Which gave me shelter and rest for my trial "I'm not strong, weak is my mind A new beginning, where to find? I'm the last one on earth, please forgive us our crime" It was a time, when love was mine Now it's time, to sacrifice My heart, bleeding for my race The traces of mankind swept out by the hands of our lord I cried, for the ones I had lost Midnight in paradise, grief, away goes my hope I cried for, the ones I had lost "Hear my prayers, climbing on the clouds above Silent cry, reach the inner halls of truth Give me a sign! A crimson sky, bless my eyes Up goes the sun, my time has come (It has come)" 05. Tears
My tears were flowing down to the ground
A sad stream of silver is a mournin' man's gold And where the seeds of sorrow soon were found A flower of light, the omen saw the world [Chorus] Step into the dreams of wonder Open up the gates of wonder Stare into the face of wonder Free yourself from the spell you're under now!!! I blessed the sign yes my prayers were heard I laughed as I watched that tiny thing grow Over the rainbow and up to the stars A tower of dreams, waiting to come true [Chorus] I saw this divine gate between the worlds Waiting for me to take away my soul I was no longer what I was before A chosen one that opened up the door [Chorus] 06. Into The Unfathomed Tower
[I. Dance Of The Fay]
[II. Magic / Entering The Tower] [III. Dance Of The Fay (Reprise)] [IV. Soulsflight] [V. Towards The Unknown] [VI. Choir Of Angels] [VII. Outside The Gates Of Heaven] 07. The Edge Of Heaven
A shapeless form
A mindless soul Senseless with no control Eyes so closed A heart that sleeps A memory, a thought that is gone I am born Still I'm no more A dying illusion In the dream I am fading "Oh Lord! This must be heaven" Tears in my eyes A sweet dream bathing in sunlight Never to end Shapes of angels Visions of grace Promised love and delight Let me be There at the edge of heaven Where darkness begins Twilight was calling my name A cry in the night I felt a chill in my heart Come to me Somebody danced on my grave Let me be At the edge of Heaven [x 2] A faceless shadow A blinded fool Lost in the twilight zone Dream or madness Heaven or hell A riddle the key to the spell I am born Still I'm no more A dying illusion In the dream I am fading [Repeat 5th Verse] [Repeat 6th Verse] At the edge of Heaven [x 4] 08. Somewhere In Nowhere
Here I am
In this strange world A different universe Nowhere in time I'm captured in my dreams On this lonely journey To find the morning light To be me Eternal life Beyond the death we know A restless soul But am I dead? (Lost in nowhere, timeless prison Will I ever find the reason I wish that I could escape this dream Can I ever return to reality) This labyrinth Of my own feelings A misty ocean But where's the shore? I know that I exist But somehow I don't Can't find the morning light Can't be me Here I am In this strange world A different universe Nowhere in time Lost in nowhere, timeless prison 09. Through The Infinitive Halls Of Death
I know that my old life is ending
Very soon I'll lose my breath But raise up high or slow descending (Is the question after death) Death is a forecourt to hell, Where the lost of humanity dwell [x 2] In the realm of the other side I saw some spirits a force of might Black and white and side by side They will take me beyond the light Death is a forecourt to hell, Where the lost of humanity dwell [x 2] Through the shadows of my soul Walking in an endless cave searching for a deep black hole To find my destiny or grave Death is a forecourt to hell, Where the lost of humanity dwell [x 2] Doomed to hell Misery and death, pain and sorrow The air was poisoned by the smell of burning flesh I saw the beast A great shadow surrounded by black demons Satan he laughed as he saw me burn 10. Dawn
"Suddenly I awoke. I must have fallen asleep under the oak,
Where I used to sit and dream as a child The dawn was soon to come, and the air was crisp and cold Yet I felt warm I remembered my strange dreams and knew I had the strength And love in my heart to create something in my life. The world was waiting I was reborn" 11. A Tale Of Creation
On that day, that day of birth
in the morning, the dawn of time it down to rest a moment when a song came to my mind As I sat there I could feel it from within the magic came With my voice the mountains rose with my breath came lovely air With my tears the rain fell down with the rain came the sea With my blessing the first rose spread out with my feelings innocence (In solitude, a song was born By magic our dreams were living on A heart of light was found, it brought delight to my soul. My faith had made me whole... again) With my song the sun was born Out of darkness giving light From my heart came love and joy And all the beauty you could find With my tears the rain fell down With the rain came the sea Blessing the first rose spread out Feelings innocence In solitude, a song was born By magic our dreams were living on A heart of light was found, it brought delight To my soul. My faith had made me whole... again In passion I saw the light A soul filled with harmony The creation of a new world My anthem my symphony I sat there to watch the dawn All the birds began to sing I left my song to rise and grow It was time for me to go |
