1. Intro
2. The Undiscovered Land
by a long way we came there
and we kept our eyes peeled
we believed in our blueprint
drawn by the slipstream of time without end
not once we saw the falcon rising
not once we saw horizons clear
and again we hear the ocean rushing
with all the questions at hand without end
[chorus]
heavenward we keep on flying
in the lap of the gods where we are
the legend, the key
the solar sea
binds you forever
once in a blue moon this moment
on these boundless traces we move
the cosmic array
won`t lead us astray
and we still demand
the undiscovered land
we felt the narrow bounds within us
the lurking unknown in the dark
still we`re searching for the purple passage
pink of perfection in hearts still so pure
[chorus]
here and now
by our sacred vow
we will prevail
[chorus]
3. Skyward
the challenge to raise
made our hearts all ablaze
cleared our daring ideas moved our will
the prime mover in us all
will force us that we recall
believing in powers of dreams
[pre-chorus]
astral skies
follow your ardent eyes
and leave your earthborn presence
to your paradise
[chorus]
skyward i stare
and i am aware
your dreams will lead you to aphelion
loud as a whisper leaving infinity behind
the journey will start in your mind
the ghost of a chance
this alluring romance
the refulgance of light near at hand
weigh your memories in gold
and hidden powers will unfold
igniting the fire inside
[pre-chorus]
[chorus]
[bridge]
skyward rising
so revel in brightest remembrance and see
skyward we go i can see
a fragrant surprise
a sight for sore eyes
hold on to your dreams and rise
skyward i stare...
[chorus]
4. Holy Fire
I remember a past life, a life long ago
Memories are reveries
And visions fading into grey
I behold the paleness with the glimpse of an eye
There's no friend in no man's land
Streets leading to wild frontiers
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the torchlight shine above you
Scan a flashlight of a dream
Take the spell and hold the spirit of the flame
And rise up with the light
[Chorus]
Holy fire glimmering eve
Follow traces until you believe
Light a candle for the magical ring
And wait until the night's breaking in
Am I walking the false path the one of no return
Counting strides the mind divides
The ever-turning wheel of time
Then I'm crossing the border beyond the no man's land
Lizard eyes and painted skies
The turning point right on my way
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
5. Fly on a Rainbow Dream
(intro-chorus)
fly, forever fly along
let your wings just breathe the air tonight
to foreign skies fly on a rainbow dream
she's straying from reality
her imagination leaves her mind
like a falcon she is passing her old home
she's calling the spirits up there
she's freeing herself from clandestine eyes
awaiting brightened skies
(pre-chorus)
I will bring this dream to you believe
I will lead you everywhere
(chorus)
fly, fly on a rainbow dream
just glide into the gleaming sky
eternally away from staring eyes
fly, forever fly along
let your wings just breathe the air tonight
to foreign skies fly on a rainbow dream
she enters horizons unseen
away from the whispers of the night
in a reverie she's heading on and on
she's passing elysian fields
ascending on wings of a glorious ride
she feels the falcon's pride
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
is it stardust of time
in these pictures of infinity?
all the memories appearing one by one
are reflections in me
(b-chorus)
fly, fly, fly
spread your wings and touch the sky
(high), high, high
one more time I face the falcon eye to eye
before the rainbow's fading
then gold is at the end
right on your dream through time
forevermore, fly on a rainbow dream
6. Forever Shine On
In my darkest hour I pray
For a life seemed gone astray
See a flower grow
In a never ending night
Far away a colored light
I can see a rainbow rise
[Chorus]
I could believe
In the love I found so long
You're the air that I breathe
Let us dream a dream
Forever shine on
In the heaven of delight
Where love will shine a light
Let your beauty flow
Forever shine on
In the distance I behold
Existing seems so cold
I hear an angel sing
In the evening glow I seek
For a glimmering mountain's peak
Imagining I was free
[Chorus]
Like a candle in the wind
We are fragile and we suffer
From within our deepest hearts
Let the wind breeze through your hair
And let your spirit fly
Forever shine on
[Chorus]
7. Starlight Reverie
facing the constellations high above the sky
if I could fly along and sway the milky way
when venus has its row, great bear and polar star
I see them dimming from afar, is's so bizarre
(pre-chorus)
starry sky
so come by
forgotten traces so nigh
your beauty repeals the laws of time
(chorus)
my stralight reverie
in my sparkling eyes
just take me through the grand bright moonlight night
your eyes can only see
what your heart truely feels
then it is time to turn and flee
into my starlight reverie
see tails of comets glowing in the outer sphere
red giants in their spectral light, tonight
the solar system of orion there appears
lightyears away from mother earth, a star's birth
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
(bridge)
8. Perennial Dreams
how could i ever see
this blueprint of reality
spoiling for a fight i left no stone unturned
for ever and one day
the gale force in my heart will stay
and i don`t care a straw about the lessons learned
[pre-chorus]
free i can hear this haunting melody
ever since the spirits rose in me
[chorus]
the shadows of darkness
or the light of the world
leaving those energetic streams
a soldier of fortune
or a fancier at all
keeping on for perennial dreams
will this tide ever turn
before my restless heart will burn
the elfstruck time elapses to the eventide
it is a game of skill
and it is playing with your will
the floatlight marks the harbour there it is my guide
[pre-chorus]
[chorus]
[bridge]
the spangled heaven`s gleam
a neverending stream
will arise in my perennial dream
[chorus]
9. The Final Curtain
an outcast of victorian society
a crying jag since long-gone childhood days
the dream to be an albatross
with alabaster wings
to be flying
before the last bell rings
the crushing arms of loneliness embracing still
the sear and yellow leaf is drawing near
this jaded heart escaping from the shadowplay
what is the measure of a man ?
and the price that we all pay
[chorus]
the final curtain falls
none of the orchestra will play
the stageplay life will hold
the freakshow at the fair
is there a straw in bursting dalles
will someone care ?
the looking glass, deceiver of reality
the try of make-believe in who we are
and the hiding in the mists of night will never end
but a graceful heart prevails
and the meaning of a friend
[chorus]
[bridge]
mesmerized, hypnotized
the audience touched to tears
pay a visit, take a look
so that the conscience clears
[chorus]
the final curtain falls
none of the orchestra will play
the stageplay life will hold
the freakshow at the fair
there is a straw in bursting dalles
someone will care?
10. Suspiria
in the shades of night this phalanx is our home
we're hanging on a string we're waiting
below electric skies in times of need we call
she is taking care she loves us all
do dark horses dream of cybertronic sheep?
do we fear she's laying back to sleep?
(chorus)
ancient suspiria
save our prayers give us a sign tonight
illusions can deceive
but we're dying when you leave
lead us into the light
in a night like this it all seems so obscure
between the walls of dust and velvet dreams
behind this plastic moon reality can be
the sweetest moment of our lone damned colony
(chorus)
(chorus)
(b-chorus)
where is the final end?
save our holy land
your appearance is a mystery
suspiria
shining in energy
suspiria
guide our colony
suspiria
our virgin godess of a thousand souls
suspiria
where is the final end?
suspiria
save our holy land
suspiria
your appearance is a mystery
11. Arcana
here where the dream of eden waits
the rivers running easy
in their valleys they are slumbering
there the mysteries reveal
by the clearness I can feel
and an island in the stream appears before my eyes
I am hunting lonesome traces in the sand
and someone speaks my name from far away
the ruins of yesterday will disappear
I will reach for the sources of light
as we are all finding our new hemisphere
I am turning just yearning to feel
feel your dreams, don't toss them away
(chorus)
ancient myth arcana, elysian seas of time
the stones of wisdom shine again, the moonlight hides the rhyme
in long gone days of yore, one thousand years before
the odyssey was in our dreams, arcana we explore
here I can feel the inner flame
could forget what we became
and the false mirages can't deceive, deceive me no more
I am facing countless shadows in despair
but I won't follow them into the gloomy calm aside of light
(chorus)
thorns of roses that I feel, secrecy under the seal
hear the tolling of the bell, bring me under your spell
see the mysteries in twilight they're turning away
from darkness to light (into infinity)
here where the dreams of eden's near
leaving to a distant sphere
to elysian seas of time we ride
I am longing for infinity
arcana, arcana
tonight this journey seals my fate
far beyond the open gate
to the secret places never seen before
for this final odyssey into
arcana, arcana
12. Medley Sunrise in Eden / My Last Step Beyond
13. Cheyenne Spirit
Out in the prairie the bison dared to roam
The crying of a lone shot claimed they're forever gone
High in the breezing winds an eagle dared to fly
For the white man's sake the covenant was just a lie
Out in the flowing streams the beaver dared to build
The never ending ignorance the paleface's guilt
A single tent was left lonesome in the woods
When the cannons spoke the words
Murderers took off the hoods
[Chorus]
For all times rise
Cheyenne spirit rise
By the grace of all your wisdom
In the hunting grounds it flies
Chase the track and ride free
Eternal unity
Let the flutes play for a last time
Ban the white man's tyranny
And they came riding with their hate
And marching with their greed
External territories
Served their senseless need
But they stood tall in their own fate
They knew their bloody way
Along the line of fire
Into the grand decay
[Chorus]
