1. Intro - The Dreamsower
I still remember when I was young.. Everything used to be beautiful... The trees were green, the sky was blue and the sun hot and cozy... we used to be hopeful, I used to be hopeful... It is good to remember those distant and remote times.. Now I'm just and old dreamsower...
2. The Dreamsower
One day the sun was
above my head,
and it had pointed
a way in my path,
that had flowers,
it had trees, it had colors
I still remeber
that smell,
feeling the wind
on my face,
sowing some dreams,
see them grow...
Become hot like a fire
or icy like snow
But only God knows...
And Now I pray... For destiny to end...
And my life... To see some hope again...
In every turn I feel,
you've caught me...
To see that you have all your
life... Written down in a paper...
And that someone is reading...
Nothing can be done or be
changed...
All your dreams... Vanish away...
And doesn't matter if you are
hopefull... Am I a dreamsower?
All I've ever wanted to have
was a good luck, a good fortune
But I saw them drip
off my hands...
Am I a dreamsower?
But before you sink
and start crying,
remember you
still have a
destiny...
3. Intro - Morning Shade
Years have passed by until i could see that everything had changed... the nature was silent the wind was scattering whispers at the wind, as something was trying to tell me that i would be ravaged by one of the worsts feelings of this land... And it came with the fog, as a morning shade, and no one could notice it...
4. Morning Shade
Was my inner voice?
Was my indecence?
I had been forlorned,
mirrors surround me
A drop of honey falls
and I can't make one
Do you see the path?
All you see and I don't
Now I'm not but a morning shade
Where you step life borns
I step and the soil cleaves
You walk in a straight line
but I can't follow you
You sing and everyone listens,
and I paint but no one sees
Why can't I be you?
Why can't be like a you?
Now I'm not but a morning shade
Now I'm not more than you became
I stood in front of the light
and I couldn't even form a shadow
Like a crown falling from my head,
now all the eyes look to me
and I can read upon them
False
Liar
Loser
May God helps me...
By trying to offuscate you
I've destroyed myself and
now I carry a sign,
as a scar within me
So much inspiration inside me
turned a sunshine into a rainy day
All that you did... I'll make it
lesser than me
5. Intro - Tortuous Loneliness
But I had the strenght to believe... and to love... as no one could ever before. Everything took color again... but it didn't last. ah if i only knew how would be tortuous my loneliness... Maybe I could have had strenght to fight.. 'Coz time is the better master but it always kill it's students...
6. Tortuous Loneliness
Your shadow... Precedes me...
The anger... Makes me feel that way...
The angel... Who hunts me...
You may kill me... But please take this pain away...
Why... Can't you love me the way I love you?
Why don't you dare trying?
So finish it all...
And tell me...
You will never feel remorse...
For ever gust of wind you've moved...
I saw my eyes drop tears of blood...
For ever trust you put on me...
For ever gesture I couldn't see...
But everytime I was so lone...
There was no second I didn't tought of you...
Lord... Please guide me...
I feel so weak... I cannot walk...
The hope... Which finds me...
Came in other night just to take me down...
You left me... Incomplete...
You pretend to be so blind...
So finish it all...
And tell me...
You will never love me...
When I remember you at looking me...
My heart was slain by you and me...
And everytime you tought of me...
Be sure I've felt it anywhere I was...
And everytime... You fall asleep...
I search for your dreams...
So finish it all...
And tell me...
You will never feel remorse...
So finish it all...
And tell me...
You will never love me...
So finish it all...
And look to me...
And let me look to you...
Or come to me...
And gimme a kiss...
And listen I say a I love you...
So please... Look by your side...
Everything I was still remains...
Crucified for no sins...
I can't live off the past...
So finish it all...
I should have cried...
And tooked away some pains...
So finish it all...
And take my hand...
Belong to me at last...
You left me...
Incomplete...
You left me...
Without a trace of my heart...
You left me...
Crying alone...
You left me...
Petrified as you walked away...
You left me...
Forever...
You left me...
This love will end in a rage...
You left me...
Behind you...
You left me...
Feeling myself fading away...
Your shadow... Precedes me...
A broken heart... Feels that way...
7. Intro - Wrinkles of the Oak
I don't know if there was till life around me... I was blazing, wanting back what have been taken away from me... I could not accept what had happened.. And when I saw myself reflected i could see how old I was.. Wriggly... As the wrinkles of the oak...
8. Wrinkles of the Oak
Our life is like an old oak,
we have roots, dug in the soil
Roots in the middle of soft ground
and other around rocks
But sometimes they're cutted down or rot,
'cause they can't survive
in those environment
We have trunk, strong, hard,
but that bleeds, blaze,
and leave on us marks, forcing us to remember
We have branches, long,
that reach remote distances
Some are beautiful and loaded,
other twisted and sickned
Some strong and trusty,
other not much
We have fruit, sweety, balmy
Some are bitter and poisonous,
some will rot, some will fall,
some will mark it deeply those
who taste them
We have leaves
that get lost if the wind is too strong,
or if some part of the tree has been hurt
That feel and fall
for having no more life,
choking and drying little by little...
The fruit...
The branches...
The trunk...
The roots...
Leaving the tree dryed and dead
Sometimes we can see our leaves falling,
our fruit rotting, our branches wriggling,
our trunk marked and our root torn to pieces
But we still have seeds, and if
our tree hasn't been planted,
it's fall will fertilize the soil,
where another tree can live...
9. Intro - Rose For Thorns
For a long time I learned to appreciate what i judge to be true... For a long time I choosed to live a fairy tale, without noticing that there was a gargoyle by the gate... watching... but then I save it, and I felt that everything had disapeared, that i gave roses for thorns.
10. Rose For Thorns
Oh ancient spirits of the wind
Give me the strenght to unsummon,
those thoughts
All the ghosts go to past now
One day before the rain,
I still remember,
like a sculpture before me,
but it disappeared in a trail of light
I gave you roses by the night,
and now I bleed for its thorns
For each petal, that now falls,
I scream a strong and scary wail
Another day is coming on,
and the sun... Singing low
Whispering of what is gone
But only for a moment,
then my eyes open again
Emotions whiter and die
as time passes by
I've seen a sculpture before me,
but it had no face
I've seen illusions of the real,
as candles in the wind
For each drop of blood that falls,
it paints my truth behind this seal
Another day is coming on,
and the sun... Singing low
Whispering of what is gone
But only for a moment,
then my eyes open again
11. Intro - Scars Unseen
And now you ask me way? By your fault I don't know what path I should take, to what side I must look, if I should listen or ignore you... Everything is now dark and decaying around of me, yeah I know... As myself now.. See, look with your own eyes the scars unseen you left inside of me...
12. Scars Unseen
Like a book longer written
which you still can understand
Each page tells me secrets
which don't want to remember
Wounds never closed
Eyes never opened
Images are stronger than words are
See the past grow stronger
And a bleeding heart
feels the scars which had never been seen at all
And now you dare asking me why?
I don't know what path I take
In all my faith you won't believe
Weaving pain and wave goodbie
Scars unseen
Turn the page and read the lines,
I bear this weight on my back
Each rune hides a story,
that you know... For Godsake you know
Wounds never closed
Eyes wide open
Memories are stronger than images are
See the pain grow stronger
13. Intro - Essence of Darkness
I still remember your voice saying.. Wake up my son... wake up... But everything I wanted was seeing the land around of me burning... as the sun was... Everything dryied and dying... As I was... Everything petrified or frozen... as my heart was.. All 'coz I've tasted the essence of darkness..
14. Essence of Darkness
Like no other one...
I've tasted the darkness...
And now it's thorns remain on me...
Listen to the silence and hear what is says,
it brings the seeds of what lives inside me
Anger... and all that sorrow...
My walls can't take these winds
If that's the way... turn back or stay...
My watch had stopped...Now you'll writhe from pain...
Everything dries and dies as I pass by...
And for those who stood... Be sure I'll be back...
Burn for what you've done to me...
All I want is to see you withering away...
I see... An angel falling at my feet...
For me you are the demon who bid me farewell...
Everything and nothing,
both carves a sore in my soul,
but you won't see me begging...
All I've seen was dark and blank
All I have felt was emptiness
And all I've done was nothing
'Cause I've been tempted by your...
Essence of darkness
Now, stare at the sun... And burn your eyes...
You looked at the abyss... Now it gazes back to you...
Like a dead poem... Written where you can't see it...
I'm a child with an evil mark
You closed your eyes but you still can see
There's no blood but venom in my veins,
not a drop of honey but poison in my foul heart
Poison in my rotting heart
15. Intro - Vengeful Angel
I felt myself so weak, but so weak and sad that I didn't had strenght even to cry anymore... I was empty and I only realized it when I saw the last leaf falling from the oak... But not 'coz of me but because of the coming autumn... I asked myself and the dark skies all I could... but there was no answer... As I had been forlorn... There was someone watching over me?... Am I here to suffer?... It's my fault?... no answer.. of that vengeful angel.
16. Vengeful Angel
Do you think that you know...?
The true about those thorns...?
Do ghosts appear behind the walls?
And the sky...
Turns black in the morning sun?
The doubt... The question... The unknown...
Just answer me...
My angel...
Vengeful angel
What have I done...
to that angel?
Do you lose when the game was almost won?
Do your eyes see?
Do you fear what you don't know?
You walk...
But just can't see where you're going?
The question is... Everything? Or nothing?
Light? Or Darkness?
My angel
Vengeful angel
My soul if fading 'cause of that Angel
Hummmmmm Oh God... Father... Where are you now?
I have lost my faith not my soul
Did you, at least, felt the tears I've cried?
I've never felt so lone before
Now I got used to it
Where were you by the time
I needed you most?
Did you forget me? Your son? Alone without someone?
Oh please
I had just wanted you to give me a sign,
to show me a way,
to show me life does make sense
and not only life is wothwhile,
but that I am whortwhile in life
I don't matter if I had been suffering,
'cause I thought, You'd choosen,
and that It had some meaning
But now I see... You've given your back to me...
All I wanted was a father not a God...
The same way you feel there's nothing you can do?
Why I'm still asking if I get no response?
You turn your back... But what for?
Will I turn...
Into something? Or nothing?
My angel
Vengeful angel
My soul is fading 'cause of this angel
My angel
What have I done...
to this Angel?
17. Intro - Ridden by the Storm
I still ask myself if it was fair... but it's not up to me judging.. however, it was only at the end... surrounded by all that dry and dead land that realized that I... was still alive... and I realized that it wasn't needed you to answer my questions... I already had the answers.. I had been ridden by the storm... and survived...
18. Ridden by the Storm
Turning figures twist my past...
My worst enemy is the inside of me...
Dark times won't allow me resting...
This storm is trying to blind me...
I forgot everything I was...
Even memories I don't know if I had...
I saw this tree... But now it's gone...
Now I see...
...You've let me alone...
Now... All I sustain won't last...
Why... why you put me in test...?
I've buried deep in my soul...
Things I couldn't even control...
If envy is the seed you sow...
Reap you will... And then you'll know...
It was your storm that made me...
Trasmuting me...
To whom I never dared to set free...
Now I wage a war against myself...
I hear your voice... But my eyes can't see you...
I was lost when you offered your hand...
Now I see...
...I Wasn't alone...
Now... All I sustain won't last...
Why... Why you put me in test...?
I've buried deep in my soul...
Things I couldn't even control...
If envy is the seed you sow...
Reap you will... And then you'll know...
It was your storm that made me...
Trasmuting me...
To whom you ever wanted to see...

Intro
20. Moviment I: The Revelation
21. Moviment II: The Creation
Oh great, son of God
Oh great, path to light,
hi enegies waged battles
and made you alive
You'll uphold the law,
justice by One
You gather all feelings
well, You can't be forlorn
And now that You had
seen all the truth,
start teaching what once
should be held by the men
And God will live again...
"My son, my brethren"
"my brother, your son"
"Your son, your brethren"
"your brother, my son"
22. Moviment III: The Work
I'm going to endure your obscure side
I loved you enought to become one of yours
I have redeemed you, and I'll sustain you
I won't forsake you
I can turn your tragedy into triumph
"I forgive you"
"I'll talk to you on your own language"
"The choice is yours"
"I'm gonna give you my tunic"
"I invite you to enter at my presence"
"I understand your pain"
"Forever I'll love you"
"I won"
23. Moviment IV: The Love & The Hatred
"For each love... there's a hate"
"for every rose... there's a thorn"
"for the inspiration... there's the envy"
"for the holy... there's the damned"
"For a friend... there's an enemy"
"for the sureness... there's the question"
"for the peace... there's the conflict..."
24. Moviment V: Radamés's Betrayal
With all my wisdom
and all my knowledge
I haven't seen this could happen
I had trusted you
and for every castle
I've built another one has been destroyed
But now I know
what means the sin
And I'll understand your thoughts
The temptation that led you
The desire that led you
An the end will lead onto Me
The sin that led you
The envy that led you
Atn the end will lead onto Me
Don't be affraid
or feel guilty
I know... And I'll forgive you
Now kiss me and do what you came for,
in your sin I shall live and you
will understand the love
25. Moviment VI: The Ressurrection
The diadem of pain
that slashed His kind face
Three nails thrust His flesh in the timber
to hold Him in that place
I understand the need of blood,
His sacrifice I embrace
But the bitter sponge? The pierced lance?
The spit in his face?
It had to be a cross?
It could not have had a more amiable death
than stand six hours hanging between life
and death? This all moistened by a
treacherous kiss?
- Oh Father - say you with a calm heart,
- Sorry asking, but I need to know,
Have You done this all for me?
26. Moviment VII: The Friendship
It is only now... At the end of my days
that my eyes and heart have openned again
I've written this sad truth hoping it can
be read in time for you to remake your love
For understanding His message and a true love
I had to sacrifice my best friend
All He teached and did are
now written in my heart for the eternity
Behold... what had to be done
and believe... I had to be the chosen one
I hope all my tears can now be yours,
and that this humble and poor Radamés
may redeem his pain by awaking
something good that were sleeping inside of you
I know my sin can't be paid off,
or even forgotten... But I wish that with it
you who reads my story can take the
right paths and not be fooled by your hearts
Behold... what had to be done
and believe... I had to be the chosen one
