1. Overture
2. Weight of the World
So many times I have been thinking of the weight of the world.
And through it all she told me, I would find forever.
I've taken off time, though a memory reveals an empty dream.
And still we walk together, side by side forever?
I found days and nights only swirling around.
Inside my head
So take time it'll last forever
It's only the weight of the world.
Diffusing the dream we surrender to the world beyond the night.
Reality, it tells me I can't last forever.
Reading emotions never justified the pain of written words.
Just take my hand, together, hand on heart surrender.
I found days and nights only swirling around.
Inside my head
So take time it'll last forever
It's only the weight of the world.
And with life...forever.
Until death...Forever.
I found days and nights only swirling around.
Inside my head
So take time it'll last forever
It's only the weight of the world.
3. Under Lunar Orbit
Sitting by itself,
The distant far horizon I feel your presence there.
Staring at me.
Under the moonlit night
I still hear our voices.
Obscured by man made lights
Whispering to me.
We're dreaming in a world,
Where possibility leads to confusion.
Dreaming of a world...
Sitting worlds apart
The loneliness will travel.
Staring up at the stars
Altruistically.
Sitting here by myself
Under lunar orbit
Is where I find ourselves
Where we'll always "be..."
Dreaming in a world,
Where possibility leads to confusion.
We're dreaming of a world...
And we'll always find ourselves,
With the distant far horizon.
And we'll always find ourselves,
Where the moon guides the sea.
And always by myself,
The loneliness can't hide.
Sunrises give me piece of mind.
We're dreaming in a world,
Where possibility leads to confusion.
Dreaming of a world...
Living in a world, where possibility leads to
"I love you"
Sleeping in a world...
4. A Postwar Requiem
Looks like I've done it again
Burying myself, but far too deep
As each grain of sand, falls on me
Crushing my soul, feeding the dream
Muting my voice, enhancing my screams
I never thought you'd be the one
Temptation called your name
Predicting your every move
Steering your pain
Just take my hand and heart
We will flow out to sea
Never leaving shore
Just leaving old memories
Forced to love, you fool yourself
With lies and deceit
Traffic lights will tell you "go"
Don't look unto me
Take a step outside yourself
And see what you can see
The ink has all been dried
Marked by destiny
For all the tears we've cried
Promised disbelief
Faith won't be compromised
It's sincerity
I sought you
Did you seek me?
Time can shift and play with emotional flaws
A destiny prescribed by no other than God
The TV box, and ticking clocks
The call out your name
Never mind the written words
They lift from the page
Take a step outside yourself
And see what you can see
The pages have all been dried
Marked by destiny
For all the tears we've cried
Promised disbelief
Faith won't be compromised
It's sincerity
I sought you
Did you seek me?
5. Perchance to Dream
So here I stand before you.
Whispering words that have no meaning
And though I know that I face the truth
I know it's me that I'm deceiving
So here I am before you
Guide me, show me the way.
And still I stand before you
Praying for another day
I can only confide in myself
I'm trying hard not to be the stranger
But in the end there's only regret
As I'm headed clear...clear for danger
And here I am searching through streets,
That have no names.
Climbing mountains, to find
That I'm back where I started...
In the end
I lie alone watching the rain hit the ground
Like tears when no one else was around
I've tried to see beyond the clouded skies of gray
But then I turn the other way.
Hoping to pass beyond uncertainty
But who am I to dream?
Wandering through time I searched for destiny,
But who am I to believe victory?
Tears of rage are not enough
And love is not enough!
The trust I set free
Has never come back to me
And this delicate heart awaits to find love.
6. Impulse
7. The Eyes of Ankara
A. Prophecy (Instrumental)
B. The Conception
Shadows glow in the full moon night
A leader is born in absence of light
In years to come he will be king
Ruler of lands, amongst many things
People come, fall to your knees
Pay your heed then you may leave
For he brings peace and sovereignty
Lightning skies the clouds cry
Hoping that he will survive
For he brings peace into our lives
C. Ankara
There's an empty shadow in darkness
In which men recall their lives
In a temple where lost souls wander
There's the dream I've held inside
I walk alone through the deserts of
Egypt
Farther north into Palestine
I shed the tears of its crying fields
And wonder why
Realize, I have the power to heal
The power of dreams
I'll bring peace and serenity
Across the seven seas
D. Vision
There's a hill far north in Sicily
Where I go to escape to peace
My sanctuary
Days and nights go slow
When you're king and fighting alone
Life is but a show
I'll wait for time to pass, and see
As people fall to their knees
I live for fate, and mercy
The poor unfortunate souls
Death took its toll
Wisdom and peace their only goals
Clear the streets we're marching!
Fighting for what's our own
We will own.
E. The Aftermath
The royal status is seen
By the ones who've lived to see
The peace I've brought, serenity
With bloodshed, life, and dreams
I live life
Indecision through my eyes
Will see victory in disguise
Freedom calling me
Leading way to democracy
Life was far from fantasy
Hypocrisy...reality
I feel a tension rise
All I've done
All I've prized
Living life...suicide
I've seen it all
Through my eyes.
8. Balance
9. Still
Wondering why
You are still here with me
I wasn't what I thought I was
But I'm not who I used to be
I was hiding my tears from you
Hiding my tears for you
And when it all comes to end
Would you still say you love me?
And my clouds darkened
And the rain just poured
Washing away the future
And after all things done
And after all things said
Could you still say you love me?
I saw your shadow disappear. As the sun was setting
Hoping the sun will never set on me
In time a promise to return
Just as every morning
But the night obscures you
As I am drifting
Wandering emotionless and scarred
I swore I saw the future
Regretful clouds on top of clouds
My dreams
But I kept struggling to hold on
Despite adversity
And it was you so weak appalled
In our reality
Don't you ever say you love me?
Don't you ever say you care!
I am bleeding for afection
Bare
I will lift your spirits higher
Just enough to bring you down!
Take my hands, I'll keep my heart
My love
Don't you ever say you love me!
I'll be reflected from your stare
Just take my hand
And don't look back again
Just take away all of our dreams
Leaving us with memories
Taking away everything
But you'll never take what you mean to me
And you and I we drifted
And you and I
And you and I we've shifted
And you and I
And you and I restricted
And you and I
And you and I we drifted
And you and I
And you and I
In love
Still I wait
And still I dream
And still I wonder where you are
And where you'll be
Still I find myself replaying the scenes
Still I find myself at the places we've been
Still I find myself knowing the truth
And still my heartaches
I'm still loving you
And after all things done
And after all things said
Could you still say you love me?
