(Come on a voyage with us)
(Our quest is calling) (All hear the oceans howling) (Voices of the Fallen) Under a black moon rising We set our sails again Our hearts are filled with sorrow Living our curse Oh, how long must we sail until we're released? Oh, set us free! (Come on a voyage with us) (Our quest is calling) (All hear the oceans howling) (Voices of the Fallen) (Too long we've roamed these waters) (We've blown our hearts down) (Our homeland we've forgotten) (All we know is gone now) (Come along with us!) It was a long time ago We found the hidden gold A treasure so exciting We lost our souls Oh, now we have to sail until we've released Oh, set us free! (Come on a voyage with us) (Our quest is calling) (All hear the oceans howling) (Voices of the Fallen) (Too long we've roamed these waters) (We've blown our hearts down) (Our homeland we've forgotten) (All we know is gone now) (...) When we may go home, we'll take one final life This blood alone will pay our price (Our hunger's never-ending) (Cannot be satisfied) (Our thirst is everlasting) (Within our mouths it all runs dry) Oh, we're lost! (Ghosts in the shadows) Oh no! (Creatures unhallowed) Someday in a final storm We will get back our mortal lives again! (Come on a voyage with us) (Our quest is calling) (All hear the oceans howling) (Voices of the Fallen) (Too long we've roamed these waters) (We've blown our hearts down) (Our homeland we've forgotten) (All we know is gone now) (Come on a voyage with us) (Our quest is calling) (All hear the oceans howling) (Voices of the Fallen) (Too long we've roamed these waters) (We've blown our hearts down) (Our homeland we've forgotten) (All we know is gone now) When we may go home, we'll take one final life This blood alone will, will pay our, will pay our price 02. Unembraced Music by Marco Heubaum, Joost van den Broek Lyrics by Marco Heubaum
I see the beauty in the miracles revealed
I need the golden sparkles just to climb the tree But sometimes I get scared and find it hard to stand When all the violence is coming down on me Sometimes I wonder How can we ever be strong in this world Without a hand that can lead us unhurt? How can we look into this empty face? All of us unembraced I taste the bitter truth that makes me understand There are some questions that might never be answered And all their poison sweet, the prayers and belief Just let them gently sleep while I must stay awake How can we ever be strong in this world Without a hand that can lead us unhurt? (lead us unhurt?) How can we look into this empty face? All of us unembraced I'll stay awake (I'll stay awake) I'll stay awake [solo] Oh can we try to be strong in this world? We are the hand that can lead us unhurt Beauty lies deep in the wonders unveiled Love is the mirror for us to be free Now take a look into our universe Are you still unembraced? 03. In Remembrance Music by Dianne van Giersbergen, Joost van den Broek, Marco Heubaum Lyrics by Dianne van Giersbergen
My child, my fleeting hour has come,
There's no mercy for me, no pardon Close my eyes, I know you're overcome and I have failed to guard you Over mountains, through the meadows, You travelled far from home By the hand of your father I'm left, abandoned, alone Hear my voice, remember who cradled you Who loved and swore to guide you, through the darkest hours of your life, Return to me, if only tonight My child, let your kisses console my heart, Revive me with your smile All is gone now, now all is lost Hear me plead for one last goodbye Over mountains, through the meadows He carried you far from home By his hand, the hand of your father We're left, abandoned, alone Hear my voice, remember who cradled you Who loved and swore to guide you, Through the darkest hours of your live, Return to me, if only tonight [solo] Hear my voice, remember who cradled you Who loved and swore to guide you, Through the darkest hours of your live, Return to me, my child Let us reunite 04. I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) Music & lyrics by Jim Steinman
And I would do anything for love
I'd run right into hell and back I would do anything for love I'd never lie to you and that's a fact But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, oh no, no way I would do anything for love I would do anything for love I would do anything for love, but I won't do that No, I won't do that And some days it don't come easy And some days it don't come hard Some days it don't come at all, And these are the days that never end And some nights you're breathing fire And some nights you're carved in ice Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again Maybe I'm crazy, But it's crazy and it's true I know you can save me, No one else can save me now but you As long as the planets are turning As long as the stars are burning As long dreams are coming true You'd better believe it, that I would do anything for love And I'll be there until the final act (oh...) I would do anything for love, and I'll take a vow and seal a pact (oh...) But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way, tonight And I would do anything for love, but I won't do that No, I won't do that (I would do anything for love) (Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that) (I would do anything for love) (Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do) And some days I pray for silence And some days I pray for a soul Some days I just pray to the god of sex and drums and rock 'n' roll Maybe I'm lonely, That's all I'm qualified to be That's just one and only, The one and only promise I can keep As long as the wheels are turning As long as the fires are burning As long as your prayers are coming true You'd better believe it, that I would do anything for love And you know it's true and that's a fact I would do anything for love, and there'll never be no turning back But I'll never do it better than I do it with you So long, so long I would do anything for love I would do anything for love I would do anything for love, but I won't do that No, no, no, I won't do that (I would do anything for love) (Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that) (I would do anything for love) (Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that) (I would do anything for love) (Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that) But I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life, no way I would do anything for love, but I won't do that No, no, no, I won't do that [Boy:] Will you raise me up? Will you help me down? Will you get me right out of this godforsaken town? Will you make it all a little less cold? [Girl:] I can't do that, oh no I can't do that [Boy:] Will you cater to every fantasy I got? Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot? (Hot!) Will you take me places I've never known? [Girl:] No, I can't do that, oh no I can't do that [Boy:] After a while you'll forget everything It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling And you'll see that it's time to move on [Girl:] I won't do that I won't do that [Boy:] I know the territory, I've been around It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down Sooner or later you'll be screwing around [Girl:] I won't do that No, I won't do anything for love Oh, I would do anything for love I would do anything for love, but I won't do that No, I won't do that 05. Ravenheart Music by Marco Heubaum, Lisa Middelhauve Lyrics by Lisa Middelhauve
Come to me, Ravenheart
Messenger of evil Come to me. What's the news? Here I'm still left lonely You shadow of forgotten dreams You come to take away My hope on your black wings Come on, come to me, Ravenheart Messenger of evil Come to me What's the news? Here I'm still left lonely Of love and hate the singers tell But I feel more, more of both, more than heaven and hell I take a bow to destiny Now I have really learnt my part Once loving him, now hating love I've made mistakes, my Ravenheart So come on, come to me, Ravenheart Messenger of evil Come to me What's the news? Here I'm still left lonely Will I get back who I adore? Thus spoke the raven: nevermore Come on, come to me, Ravenheart Messenger of evil Come to me What's the news? Here I'm still left lonely Come to me, Ravenheart Messenger of evil Come to me What's the news? Here I'm still left lonely 06. Now & Forever Music & lyrics by Marco Heubaum
Millions of songs all these years in my soul
And when we met I just knew they're for you Now your voice is singing them all Your wings at mine we will never fall On and on We will fly... now and forever Side to side now and forever my love Thousands of miles through the cold stormy air There's really nothing that I wouldn't dare I climb the eye of the hurricane When the winds are whispering your name On and on We will fly... now and forever Side to side now and forever my love (Oh...) (Now and forever...) (Now and forever...) (Fly! Fly!) (Now and forever...) (Now and forever...) We will fly... now and forever Side to side now and forever Side to side now and forever my love Fly with you... now and forever Be with you... now and forever my love 07. Don't Say A Word Music by Tony Kakko
I am your poison candygram
The love that's meant to fade away (Vade retro, alter ego) Move aside, I'm choking on this life I think I tolerate your hate, as long as you're afraid All I wanted was to be with you (And suffer every day...) Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn Mortally wounded (feelings sheltered me) Once again my shadow will enter your life Time to walk with me the last mile... I read a book about a man, a love, a woman, how they died (How I was waved aside) listen how the headless doves cry I truly see a madman in the mirror when I'm weak I spent a year in love (...before I realized it's me...) Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore Make me believe it, ah I know you're lying Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why... Could I let you wait out the night? Mother always said "My love, do the noble thing..." You have to finish what you started, no matter what Now, sit, watch and learn... "It's not how long you live, but what your morals say" Cannot keep your part of the deal So don't say a word... don't say a word (...It won't be long now, love, like mist I slowly fill the room...) I place a black candle on your chest The path of night is manifest I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase It wasn't me who ran away, you made me stray... Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me (...whore...) Make me believe it, oh I know you're lying Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why... Settling the score, we pass the twilight... Mother always said "My love, do the noble thing..." You have to finish what you started, no matter what Now, sit, watch and learn... "It's not how long you live, but what your morals say" Cannot keep your part of the deal So don't say a word... don't say a word Strawberry blonde, your stranglehold on my heart is bound to end (I suppose, life sometimes, it doesn't go the way it was meant) Though you never were a believer, I assure you: I won't die before you (You read the book now - the part "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust") [solo] Short is the fight of this little starling Love sounds familiar too, we had it all so sweet [?] the truth is real... No word you choose to speak tonight can make this be alright No, don't cry for me, oh, argentite The wounds are too deep, I need to keep the scars To prove there was a time when I loved you more than life Unlike the last time here I now am most sincere [?] the king is dead but the queen is alive Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, whore You never meant a word, I know you lied When there is life, there is despair, indulge me now And stay alive this night... I promise you the end before the first light arrives... [solo] Mother always said "My love, do the noble thing..." You have to finish what you started, no matter what Now, sit, watch and learn... "It's not how long you live, but what your morals say" Cannot keep your part of the deal So don't say a word... don't say a word Mother always said "My son, do the noble thing..." You have to finish what you started, no matter what Now, sit, watch and learn... "It's not how long you live, but what your morals say" Cannot keep your part of the deal So don't say a word! |
