Prologue Lyrics by Edgar Allan Poe
All that you see or seem, is but a dream within a dream
02. Center Of The Universe
Move slowly
Beyond the colours 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) 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 03. Farewell
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 hand So who am I To defy even God In quest for a reason There's no time to waist 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 waist I'm afraid I must take your farewell Trails of discovery Lead me an ocean away I must take your farewell Trails of discovery I must take your farewell Carried by destiny Bound to obey I must take your farewell Trails of discovery Lead me an ocean away 04. Interlude I (Opiate Soul)
Dolcissimae... oh Fortuna... Venit Deos..
05. The Edge Of Paradise
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 scent I see demons' 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 Dolcissimae... oh Fortuna... Venit Deos.. 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 06. Wander
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 From morning to night 07. Interlude II (Omen)
[Instrumental]
08. Descent Of The Archangel
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 I will show so 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 Call my name or carry on Till that last resistance gone I'm sure we'll meet again 'Cause I'm your true disciple When the flesh desires You won'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 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 09. Interlude III (At The Banquet)
His invitation was clear
I shut my eyes...and now I'm here Please make way, Our host is making his entree. 10. A Feast For The Vain
Everyone is here
The feast can soon begin Vanity we celebrate My favourite of sins 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 Come with me my little ones Let's revel for the free Raise your glass and praise the fact How easy life can be In the splendour of the night I've found company Once again I feel that life 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 begun All the songs seem to be right Drowned in ecstasy Every star is like a newborn sun May the life I knew be gone I accept the deal 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 11. On The Coldest Winter Night
I am breathless
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 The 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 assured 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 12. Lost & Damned
Helena you came to me
When seemingly life had begun Little did I know then Where this would go When this begun Once I was free to fly... I never promised anything This may well be goodbye Don't ask why Don't be sad Sometimes we all Must alter paths we planned Only try understand I want to save you From the lost and damned Although you hold me close I feel retention arise Just as a hint of fear Like subtle clouds In summer skies Once in the moonlight... I can't explain And I don't know Somehow we may reunite Don't ask why Don't be sad Sometimes we all Must alter paths we planned Don't forget what we had But let me save you From the lost and damned Love means nothing to me If there is a higher place to be Helena don't you cry Believe me; I do this for you Heed my decision now I will be gone tomorrow noon My tale has just begun Nothing can take my faith away In my quest for the sun Don't ask why Don't be sad Sometimes we all Must alter paths we planned Only try understand I want to save you From the lost and damned Don't ask why Don't be sad Sometimes we all Must alter paths we planned Leave me behind Don't look back Because deep within you know I'm lost and damned 13. Helena's Theme
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 14. Interlude IV (Dawn)
Hear ye hear ye! The lady
Helena has committed a sin. Now death lies on her, like an Untimely frost upon the Sweetest flower of all the fields... 15. The Mourning After
I just had a dream
She was by the riverside Alone and dressed in white Paling in the cold Walking on the icy face 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 morning is over Carry on Carry on Just you carry on Till the morning 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 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.... 16. III Ways To Epica
When you play with fire
You must anticipate some burns Chasing for desire... It's just a different way to learn I am defected from God (God has seized my soul) So low redemptions too far (I am heavens sheen) She's the one that I loved (Love is all around) And she tore me apart (The dark can never win) All that I require Is some trust as the pages turn I can take you higher Cause your will is my concern I am defected from God (God has seized my soul) So low redemptions too far (I am heavens sheen) She's the one that I loved (Love is all around) And she tore me apart (The dark can never win) So long... maybe forever I must carry on Why did God take away The one thing I wanted Maybe God is the melody We all serenade You would not feel sadness If you never tasted joy That's the curse of humans; Born is passion you destroy I am defected from God (God has seized my soul) So low redemptions too far (I am heavens sheen) She's the one that I loved (Love is all around) And she tore me apart (The dark can never win) 17. Like The Shadows
Like the shadows cover me
Rising from my ecstasy... In a glimpse from a quiet childhood I recall a mother's smile Nothing needs to be understood, I am free In the deep of a distant forest I'll lose my sense of time Where the words of the wind is honest, I can breathe Someone told me there's a higher mountain But I'll wait here for a while Only led by the deepest hunger, I'll flee from exile Like the shadows cover me You're behind me once again Rising from my ecstasy Rising from my pain Like the shadows follow me You can wash my steps away Not the one I want to be But still somehow the same 18. Snow
I never count on yesterday
Because the past can also change I'll never give myself away Life is worthwhile on the edge Words sound so hollow in the cold Maybe she's forgotten all I don't remember how I felt the night she came Memories spin around They flow Don't want to let her down Memories disappear like shame... like snow Signs never told me anything Nothing I could know for sure I never knew what she would bring Or what I am to her today My words... Almost swallowed by the snow Maybe she's forgotten all I don't remember how I felt the night she came Memories spin around They flow Don't want to let her down Memories disappear like shame... like snow She is the poison in my mind The thorns in my head She has no mountain to be climbed No faults to regret I never count on yesterday Because the past can also change I'll never give myself away When there's reason to resist Words draped in crystals melt away I don't remember how I felt the night she came Memories spin around They flow Don't want to let her down Memories disappear like shame... like snow She is the poison in my mind The thorns in my head She has no mountain to be climbed No faults to regret I never count on yesterday Because the past can also change I'll never give myself away When there's reason to resist Words draped in crystals melt away I don't remember how I felt the night she came Memories spin around They flow Don't want to let her down Memories disappear like shame... like snow |
