1. Future Kings
long time ago
the seed was sown
a child born in Uther's name
concieved in sin
the future king
a new realm of truth proclaimed
they came from far
to meet this man
they saw he was just and wise
the flags unfold
the fires rise
reflecting the force in his eyes
fighting for the crown
pride and honor to be found
born from sin
into Merlin's hand
once and future king
vomed to return again
in moonlit haze
among the hills
sir Mordred,Morgana's shade
would slay his king
forever cling
to darkness his powers fade
fighting for the crown
pride and honor to be found
born from sin
into Merlin's hand
once and future king
vomed to return again
Bedivere,my best of knight
this sword i beg you take
to the place where it belong
and thow it in the lake
into the war
forever more
the people shall follow the chosen one
as when alive
his will survives
to rest on the island of Avalon
2. 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
[Chorus]
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
[Repeat Chorus]
3. Ne Pleure Pas
si lentement
arriv� � ce point
sans personne
j'ai trac� mon chemin
toi sorti de ma vie
le temps passe si vite
tu n'sais pas mes pri�res chaque jour
chanson aux m�moires
chanson � l'oubli
sans adieu tu partais
tous mes efforts
pour te rendre si fier
jamais tu ne les voyais
toi parti d'ici
oh, les ombres du pass�
ton souvenir me consolait
ne pleure pas
ni souffre pour moi
un jour on se trouvera
ne pleure pas
les anges nous prot�geront
je te garde dans mon coeur
� jamais
homme maintenant
je te sens pr�s de moi
�tais-tu avec moi malgr� tout
le temps de se rendre
le temps du pardon
consol� je te donne ma chanson
toi parti d'ici
oh, les ombres du pass�
dans mes r�ves enfin il y a ta voix
ne pleure pas
ni souffre pour moi
un jour on se trouvera
ne pleure pas
les anges nous prot�geront
je te garde dans mon coeur
je te revois ce soir
dans la p�leur d'hiver
p�re et fils ensemble
les liens du sang
tiendront toujours
4. Soul Society (radio edit)
If my soul could revive
From my carnal remains
What does it matter to me
If it all fades to black
If I'm born once again
Then no one really is free
How could I be condemned
For the things that I've done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know
Some things under the sun
Can never be understood
How can we believe in heaven
Human reason counters all
Ideas of a soul society
My life is just a fragment
Of the universe and all
There must be more than I can see
In the dark we're the same
In the concept of time
We're like a grain of sand
And we strive for the flame
As if death was our aim
Cause we cannot understand
How I wish there was heaven
All for one and one for all
A flawless soul society
Our lives are just a fragment
Of the universe and all
There may be more than we can see
5. Epilogue
One other year has left my life
One year bygone so soon
These were the days I sacrificed
These days were lived for you
Some came with winter in white
Some days were blown away
Some came with sultry summer nights
Some with October rain
Oh, how I long for utter silence
But who am I to know
When rain will turn to snow?
If life brings another day
6. We Are Not Seperate
launch the silver spear
the world will cry a tear
in the heavens will appear
another angel
hear the elders cry
waiting for their time
as they look towards the heavens
why won't they answer?
we are playing with nature
splitting the atom
confusing religions
killing the masses
we are not separate
from what we destroy
time has com for us
to make the only choice
we are not separate
from what we destroy
time has come for us
to make the only choice
we rape for our power
not caring for life
we tarnish our waters
'til they are as black as night
we visualize the future
with the eyes of the blind
we hear nature calling
but we still deny
we are not separate
from what we destroy
time has come for us
to make the only choice
7. We Three Kings
=Instrumental=
8. One Day
Can you remember the morning
I told you goodbye
a piece of me died
somehow I have to try to
getting used to being alone
If I could only hold you once again
I'd never let go
save me a prayer
when day turns to night
lord won't you
show me the light
one day - I'll find back to my heart and soul again
one day - I swear swear by your name
memories keep me awake
and you're there by my side
I wonder if its only in my mind
that I am alive
save me a prayer
when day turns to night
lord won't you
tell me I'm right
one day - I'll find back to my heart and soul again
one day - I swear swear by your name
9. The Haunting (Somewhere in Time) (radio edit)
Merely the sound of your voice
Made me believe that
that you were her
Just like the river disturbs
...my inner peace
One I believed I could find
Just a trace of her beloved soul
Once I believed she was all
Then she smothered my beliefs
One cold winter's night
I may follow her voice to the river
Leave me for now and forever
Leave while you can
[Chorus:]
Somewhere in time
I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time
When no virtues are left to defend
You fall in deep
[Post chorus:]
I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves
It comes to an end
And quietly I'll go to sleep
How could that first time recur
When memories linger on and on
What made me think you were her
Helena is dead to all
dead to all
Nothing can bring her to life
Don't pretend that I'll be loving you
Once I believed she was gone
I'm corrupted from within
Leave me for now and forever
Leave while you can
[Chorus]
[Post chorus]
[Ariel]
Follow me into the light
Leave me tonight
I've gone too far to begin all anew
With someone like you
[Marguerite]
Like ice on a lake of tears
I'll take you through
Life fades in anew
With someone like you
[Chorus]
[Post chorus]
10. March of Mephisto (radio edit)
ASPIRAT PRIMO FORTUNA LABORI
ME DUCE TUTUS ERIS
VOX POPULI VOX DEI
AD MAIOREM DEI GLORIAM...
AD INFINITUM
[English translation:]
[The fortune is smiling at our first effort,
let me lead you and you will be safe,
the voice of people, voice of god
for bigger glory of the god
to the infinity.]
You know just who I am
Don't be so distant
Cause when you're lost
I am solely there to share your grief
Wailing for your sorrow
Is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow you're lonely
I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth
Now tell me all about your pain
Down to the detail
Don't say it's love
Your fragile heart feeds my contempt
Wailing for your sorrow
Is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow you're lonely
I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth
Chase the heathen call
We belong... you and I
Unison in all you deny
I am the thorn in your side
That seeks accomplishment
Reminding the mortal of death
I am the spore of your pride
An angel heaven sent
The master of all
I am the urge of the flesh
11. Can You Remember
"Hey! Woo! Thank you! Okay, we're gonna slow it down for a bit now.
This is a song about a girl that might have forgotten me by now.
But I hope we will meet again some time in the future."
A flame within my heart has died
This a song, it's song with no reprise
Today I just don't know why
What we had and what we shared, so divine
Sunrise in Osaka, but I'm cold tonight
The northern lights are shining, and my dreams take flight
Can you remember? Tell me how far I have to go
Can you remember lust in the eastern skies?
Can you remember when you told me sayonara?
Can you remember me? 'Cause I will never say goodbye
A flame within my heart has died
Too far away, it's too far for me to say
I wish I could turn back time
Is there anyone to blame? Show me the way
Sunrise in Osaka, but I'm cold tonight
The northern lights are shining, and my dreams take flight
Memories are forever, and I see your face
Crying in the distance, 'til we fall from grace
Can you remember? Tell me how far I have to go?
Can you remember lust in the eastern skies?
Can you remember when you told me sayonara?
Can you remember me? 'Cause I will never say goodbye
Can you remember? Tell me how far I have to go
Can you remember lust in the eastern skies?
Can you remember when you told me sayonara?
Can you remember me? 'Cause I will never say goodbye
"Thank you."
12. 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
Moments 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
Moments 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 may not exist
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
Moments disappear like shame...like snow
13. Season's End
Once in my life
A second of eternity
Seems long in my mind
What used to be
Keep changing over time
Don't go
Please don't say it's over 'til it is
Don't say goodbye
Like we'd never meet again
Leave me a lie
At the season's end
Moments in time
Seems to be so long
In my old mind
My images of may
You gave me a sign
I took the chance
Of never looking back
I hope you understand
Don't say goodbye
Like we'd never meet again
Leave me a lie
At the season's end
Come lift the light
Into heaven with a song
Don't say goodbye
'Cause it's been so long
It's been so long
It's been so long
You gave me a sign
I took a chance
By never looking back
I hope you understand
I hope you don't say goodbye
Like we'd never meet again (Say goodbye...)
Leave me a lie
At the season's end (Season's end)
Come lift the light
Into heaven with a song (With a song...)
Don't say goodbye
'Cause it's been so long
It's been so long
So long
14. The Pendulous Fall
In a garden in a hand
Lies a key to shadow land
You're far from feeling strong
The worst begins
In the sediments of life
In the comfort of a knife
You hold your breath
And pray to god it won't take long
And you wonder where the rainbow ends
With its autumn setting sun
[Chorus]
There's a way from it all
Though the chances are small
We'll come back again
Won't you think it over
Life is a pendulous fall
But maybe worth the pain
And soon enough we'll go
Where nobody can touch us
Like a mother you were aimed
And you gave her what she claimed
Just like a good old friend
In the abyss of the wind
You found all there is to find
Bet we all have broken hearts to mend
So you wonder where the rainbow ends
Where the world must have begun
[Chorus]
There's a way from it all
Though the chances are small
We'll come back again
Won't you think it over
Life is a pendulous fall
But maybe worth the pain
And soon enough we'll go
Where nobody can touch us
[Solo]
[Chorus]
There's a way from it all
Though the chances are small
We'll come back again
Won't you think it over
Life is a pendulous fall
But maybe worth the pain
And soon enough we'll go
Life is a pendulous fall
But maybe worth the pain
(So you wonder where the rainbow ends)
Where nobody can touch us
15. Epilogue (live)
One other year has left my life
One year bygone so soon
These were the days I sacrificed
These days were lived for you
Some came with winter in white
Some days were blown away
Some came with sultry summer nights
Some with October rain
Oh, how I long for utter silence
But who am I to know
When rain will turn to snow?
If life brings another day
