I don't know how
But it's starting now
And I am falling;
The sky is falling
I want something more
And I can't ignore
My heart is calling
I can hear you calling
I wish on the stars above
And in my dreams, I see you
You're in the air, I breathe you
And so I wait, impatiently await
The day when the love in my heart awakes
I wanna feel
Something real
I'm tired of living
In a world that's empty
And if stars collide
Then why am I denied
That puzzle piece
To make me feel connected...
Like constellations in the night sky
And in my dreams, I see you
You're in the air, I breathe you
And so I wait, impatiently await
The day when the love in my heart awakes
Stars
Maybe like a dream I will find you
Ripping through the seams just to hold you now
A supernova erupts and the love in my hearts awakes
And in my dreams, I see you
You're in the air, I breathe you
And so I wait, impatiently await
the day when the love in my heart awakes

Cleansing Through Fire
03:38
|
|||
I'm waiting on the day
When I won't have to walk away
Out that door anymore
And I never will forget
The moment when our lips first met
I dream of you, always you...
You're a part of me
It's cold outside without you
I'm not alive without you
I'll never be free
Never free, never we
When you're away
Now you're in my mind
A love that I cannot defy
Suddenly, you're all I see
And I don't care if they know
Because I will never let you go
You are mine, for all time
You're a part of me
It's cold outside without you
I'm not alive without you
I'll never be free
Never free, never we
When you're away
I'd give up everything
To see your face again

The Storm Cometh
04:20
|
|||
You came to stay
Just when I had lost my way
Only night; no more day
And I've learned to burn
In the wake of what I had earned
What a bitter taste
I'm gone
Tear it out of me
Take it
Take everything
Now inside the hearth of my soul
A beast was birthed
From my depths unearthed
And inside it stirs
And it's voice can still be heard
I won't say a word
I'm gone
Tear it out of me
Take it
Take everything

Alhena's Ashes
05:00
|

Ashes falling through my hands
Nothing left of us but the ashes
Falling through my hands
Rain flooded out my dreams
It tore me away from you
It brought me to my knees
You told me, you told me
You'd never let me go
But what they've done can't be undone
Now I'm gone, I'm gone
Just hold me, please hold me
Hold me in your thoughts
And as the night clutches the stars
Look to them remember us
Remember Us
I will never forget our love
I will always love you
Will you remember me? Will you forgive me?
I will always love you

Six Feet Under Me
04:09
|
|||
What I considered an easy way to stay
An open door, a safe way
And I knew the choices that I made
Would bury my soul six feet under me
And how dare you walk right through me?
With a smile and beautiful face
Tear my heart out all over this place
'Cause I can't change I'm six feet under me
I'm six feet under me
I can feel it
Can you feel it?
I can feel it
Can you feel it?
Now it's too late I can't turn away
Pushing you back just pulls you closer
And I can feel the bonds around me break
It all unravels, you're pulling at the strings
You're pulling at the strings
I can feel it
Can you feel it?
I can feel it
Can you feel it?

Tonight, Tonight
06:49
|
|||
I loved you when the sky was young
From the darkling void where light first sprung
Tonight, tonight
And I've chased my dreams along your tongue
And writhed in wait with bottled lungs
Tonight, tonight
And I won't rest
And I can't sleep
And I won't leave
Until you're with me
There's a symphony of sighs
Etched in the swirls of your burning eyes
I see a melody painted in front of me
With inks and dream-kissed moans and the air it sings
(There's a crack in the world tonight)
(Can you hear it? I can)
From behind a lonely cloud
Moonlight accents our tangled limbs
Our bodies on this bed a passioned fresco
(There's a chance in this world tonight)
(Can you feel it? I can)
Coming up from the ground below
A wellspring unveils these bones
You shatter me when you batter me with your loving screams
Losing ourselves in this oblivion
Losing ourselves in this landscapeless void
Losing ourselves in this forever
(Ich habe das nie geplant...)
(Es ist jetzt egal)
Falling up through my toes I find
I found sight where they are blind
Eyes fed with clarity;
A yearning to be complete
I feel you move, you crumble to create me
(There's a crack in the world tonight)
(Can you hear it? I can)
This once hollow form is more than mass
Burn our fears, burn our past
I've become more than man,
two doses, twice the human
There's a chance in this world tonight
Can you feel it? I can
I can free you from him
Take my hand
Losing ourselves in this oblivion
Losing ourselves in this landscapeless void
Losing ourselves in this forever
Meet me tomorrow and we'll escape
So this pact we'll make in the gaining light
To claim our hopes now, we'll take flight...
Tonight, tonight

You Lied
03:30
|
|||
I waited for you by the fountain
I waited, and waited, and waited
Nut you never came, you never came
I guess I'm the one to blame
Did you notice when the lights were off
All the things that were wrong with me?
I guess you couldn't see
Did we move too fast?
Did I scare you away?
It wasn't meant to last
Only here for a day
And now I'm alone
The rising moon, it mirrored our affair
One half shined bright, the other half wasn't there
But any woman looking through my eyes
Could realize the same
You Lied
First impressions are the easiest to fake
I knew you were too good to be true
I knew you were too good to be true
A terrible lie
I escaped to turn away from all that I knew
Reaching out for salvation
I thought that was you
But all it seemed
That I could glean
Was a White Knight shadow
Just lost in a dream, and...
You Lied
I waited here in the dark
Where are you?
My world is torn apart
I need you now
In time you'll fade away
This pain will fade away
But tell me why
You Lied

Inescapable
03:35
|
|||
Un, Deux, Trois, Go!
Across a crowded room
Filled with so many empty eyes
Trading secrets for sins
Trading truths for lies
But when you look at me
I feel something move inside
How can I get you alone
To show you what's on my mind?
You know there's just no use
There's no getting away from you
But the king is watching
So tell me what you wanna do
'Cause if I have my way
We'll be one by the end of the night
It may be wrong or impulsive
But right now wrong is feeling right
The lights dim, oh!
We're skin to skin, oh!
Let's play to win, oh!
'Cause we're losing our minds tonight
You're inescapable
It's inescapable
And when the morning comes
I'll be holding you close to me
And if we're blind to move forward
Then I don't ever wanna see
And though we've had our fill
We'll be coming back for more
You're inescapable
It's inescapable

Choices
03:29
|

He loves her too much to keep her
But it's not safe in the light
So he lets her go
And in the time it takes to say goodbye
The lights in her eyes die
He loves her too much to tell her
The thought of living
In a world without her smile
It eats him up
It turns his warm heart cold
But she'll never know
Whoa oh!
And everyday
It just feels so far away
Whoa oh!
She's gone away
No oh!
No way to change
To change the choices that we've made
Whoa oh!
She's gone away
She thinks this one might kill her
How can you settle for shadows
after breathing in the light?
And as he turns to walk away:
She cries out "Stay!"
But he can't stay
Whoa oh!
And everyday
It just feels so far away
Whoa oh!
She's gone away
No oh!
No way to change
To change the choices that we've made
Whoa oh!
She's gone away

Kyrie
04:33
|
|||
In darkness I can find a path without sight
I know I'm better blind
Through all of this I see the forest for the trees
As insects crawl on leaves
And in their wings and shallow beings
Reflections in the streams of things I shudder to see
But why can't I see in your eyes,
The strangeness of your sight?
I see no reason why that color should change at night
Whose choice was it, why can't I...
Break out of these cold walls, become the second sun
Undo the catalyst for once
And I feel it on me, the cool falling leaves
The change circles me
But why can't I see in your eyes,
The strangeness of your sight?
And why can't I live in your eyes?
I see the possibility
Save me from the smiles of bastard sons
They glare of your chagrin
And save me from your judgment when I'm gone
You know that I've done wrong

(Italian)
Resistete! Resistete! La morte del corpo non è la morte dell'anima!
Resistete! Resistete! Quello che ci è stato dato, ci rifiutiamo di essere presi!
Da un lato: Il Donatore.
Fa in modo incautamente, perché sa che suo fratello invertirà le sue azioni
Dall'altra parte: Il Taker
La sua gelosia regna. Vuole quello che prende, ma si dissolve con il suo tocco
Un'oscurità che circonda, come una tenda
Dietro c'è il Watcher, che guarda con un occhio perverso
Il suo sorriso è pieno di malignità
Resistete! Resistete! La morte del corpo non è la morte dell'anima.
Resistete! Resistete! Quello che ci è stato dato, ci rifiutiamo di essere presi!
Resistete! Resistete! Resistete! Resistete! Resistete! Resistete!
(English translation)
Resist! Resist! The death of the body is not the death of the soul
Resist! Resist! What was given, shall not be taken!
On one side: The Giver
He provides recklessly, for he knows his brother will reverse his deeds
On the other side: The Taker.
His jealousy reigns. He wants what he takes, but it dissolves with his touch.
An encompassing darkness, like a curtain
Behind it is The Watcher, who peers with his perverted eye
His smile is filled with wickedness
Resist! Resist! The death of the body is not the death of the soul!
Resist! Resist! What was given, shall not be taken!
Resist! Resist! Resist! Resist! Resist! Resist!

A Soliloquy
04:42
|
|||
It came on a summer's day
The first time I saw the sun in the rain
In the mist of this war:
Death and darker things;
A gathering storm
That clouds my weary eyes
What can this be?
What do I see?
An angel grounded, wingless
But nonetheless...
She sets my heart aflight
What's this I'm seeing?
Could I be dreaming?
Forever changed now, by the sight of your face
Can you feel the same?
It came on a summer's day
What's this I'm seeing?
Could I be dreaming?
Forever changed now, by the sight of your face
Could you feel the same?
Could you feel the same?

A Night in Messina
04:07
|
|||
I'm moving through you
Weaving inside and past you
Trascend what pull the Earth can do
There's no gravity, no gravity
In fields of green and blue
Stained with moonlight filled with you
Words speak but hands can do
I can't help but be drawn to you
With your gravity, your gravity
How long I've waited
Just to feel you
Centuries anticipated
Now I become you
Your taste: saturated
Our skin: connected now
This night: incinerated
Drowns the moon out
A silver song
Fills our night in Messina
It won't be long
Until the sun rises to greet us
I won't waste a breath
You should do the same
Time is fading
We'll lose sleep tonight
But we'll get much more
The dawn is waiting

A Million Suns
04:28
|

On this precipice we stand
Will you hold me now?
God knows how this will end
Now the dark is closing in
The void is calling out
Don't look, just hold my hand
I can feel the separation of worlds tonight
Without choice of fear to accompany
Hold my hand into this pitch tonight
With you oblivion feels like a finite thing
And I feel it in my soul
A consummation of things insurmountable
How could I have known,
with you I'd be sustainable?
And I find: I'd follow
A million suns may burn,
but not our hearts
And though this world will turn,
we won't be moved
Death is living if it's with you
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
I'm waiting for

[Movement I]
Separatum, Notate
Perdere, Observe
Give to them dreams
You came to me
Like a dream
Left me in two
I wish I knew
From the start
Now I've got these scars
And it goes on and on and on
You left and you took my...
It's not death it's a homicide
You left and you broke my...
Give them dreams everlasting
[Movement II]
(Instrumental)
[Movement III]
In my dreams, I see you
You're in the air, I breathe you
Now I wait, impatiently await
The day when the love in my heart awakes...
Stars
It's cold outside with you
I'm not alive without you
I'll never be free
Never free, never we
When you're away
I will never forget our love
[Movement IV]
You lied
Meet me tomorrow, and we'll escape
[Movement V]
In the mist of this war:
Death and darker things
Tear it out of me
Take it, take everything
And everyday it just feels so far away
Oh, when she's gone away
A million suns may burn,
But not our hearts
And though this world will turn,
We won't be moved
Death is living if it's with you
I won't waste a breath
You should do the same
Time is fading
We'll lose sleep tonight
But we'll get much more
The dawn is waiting
You're inescapable
It's inescapable

The lights
The first time I saw them bright
Without the filter of the sky
And I can see why outside eyes
Would say that we are so small
And I feel so small
And I feel so small
The flight
The fear of the fall
The height
We dare to discover all
And now we delight
And now we ignite
|

23. |

Wake up, wake up
A million suns away
Swept upon a burning gale
All the storms that we've weathered
Through the vast expanse
Misfortunate and circumstance
Who would believe?
We're sailing in the stars
We're never coming down
For so long it seems
Time was our enemy
Now at the start of an era
I hold you close to me
After cold centuries
On a warm new terra
Worn and tattered
But I'm finally here with you
The veil was shattered
Now you're watching me
And all the promises
That we thought were broken came true
Our hearts ignited such a brilliant flame
We're sailing in the stars
We're never coming down
We'll light the sky with our hearts
We'll never run aground
We're sailing in the stars
We're never coming down
We'll light the sky with our hearts
We'll never run aground

Above
Below
All around me
Only water, water, water so cold
I'm all alone
Down below, oh no
Left behind a thousand torn
Imagine your face on everyone, everyone
How many faces affected by my screams?
Waiting here in your dreams
Everything plays at once
Saved and thrown to chaos
Disturbed and far from us
She waits
They wait
How did I get here?
What have I wrought?
Enveloped by unwarranted guilt
My skin swells at the thought
I guess you could say
My mortal life is but a taunt
So while my hunters revel in their kill
I've left behind this earth to haunt
Time is beyond regret
When your soul is torn
I didn't get to say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
(I wanna see you, come through)
Goodbye, goodbye
