1. Nightfall Overture
Just another midnight hour
Enjoying the cold of a dark winter night
I see the darkness devour
Everything that once was light
And the stars in the sky
are so lifeless and so grey
Walking in the light of the moon
When the night repairs the day
From the trees comes a mournful tune
I am not alone
I can hear them say
The moon is your guide
There is no place you can hide
Oh, when the night comes down
And all the colours turn black & white
Oh, when the night comes down
The dark is conducting the nightfall overture
Who am I in the eyes of the world
What have I done that will remain
Who am I? Will I ever know?
But right now I am king of this winterlane
is there anybody out there?
In the middle of the mist in the field
The air doesn't relieve me anymore
Something is here that I have never felt before
And it's closing in on me
I am lost in the maze of the night
Surrounded by light so dark
I am losing all track of time
I'm trying to come out of this endless park
And the air is so dry
I can hear the daylight cry
repeat chorus
Is there anybody out there?
2. Dreamreader
I fly away to another dimension
Far beyond reality
I fly away from these evil voices
Is it time to meet my destiny?
It brings me back to my childhood
And the hateful memories
The show is rolling before my eyes
And once again I see the tragedies
Dreamland is calling I am drifting away
Far from the shadows that's haunting my day
Now I can see the old wood hillside
That's the place where we used to play
I brings me closer to the place I fear
The place where my best friend passed away
I didn't mean it, I couldn't know
But what I did made him fall dead to the ground
I get to see the scene repeated
And then I hear the voices call
Dreamland is showing the dark of my past
One with the shadows, the die has been cast
...And I lost...
...I lost...
Let me wake, let me open up my eyes
Back to reality
This nightmare seems so real
There is no way to be free
I must return to my body
I will die if I don't wake up
The voices say that I should stay
I wish that I could make them stop
Dreamland is hell and I know it for sure
I need to stay alive and this ain't no cure
I feel that I am fading away
The shadow come closer and it forces to stay
I'm falling apart with every beat of my heart
The frost in my soul is so cold
And in the haze I see a hand to hold
I try to reach out but it's moving away
And the voices are laughing
Laughing as I pray...
3. Revival
No longer a shadow, once again I walk the face of the earth.
I'm in his body, I'm free to live,
And I will make sure that he will see no rebirth.
He'll never find the answer, he'll never know the way
I'll never ever forgive him for what he did to me that day.
I don't know how to be in this world, I left so long ago.
Now I'm back in the shape of another,
But that is something that noone ever will know.
I'll never tell the secret. Noone would believe it anyway.
Well nothing's going to take me away, no. I have decided to stay.
I see the horizon through the eyes of a stranger,
the one that I'm living inside.
For seventeen years I've been held in the darkness,
My life is no longer denied.
I wonder where he is right now'
Probably trapped in the parallel sky.
I've been there, I have felt all this darkness.
Though I was reprieved,
I was far too young to die.
I regained the power. I was strong, I returned
Like a breathing shadow, I will receive what I've earned.
Even though I pretend I'm someone else, I have finally had my revenge.
4. Steal The Moon
Now he's here inside her ocean sky.
He's dreaming again, he's released from all his fears.
I'm standing here watching the world through his eyes,
There's no reason to leave since I know no time never dies.
But I can fell the rain upon your cheek
'Cause you don't know that I could steal the moon for you.
You don't know I'd sing an endless croon for you.
It's strange in here, knowing I'll have your name.
I'll never be me, I'm like art in a stolen frame.
And if I would die, would I be reborn like you,
And start all over again, with a life so fresh and new
A combination of love hate and jealousy.
I'm stuck in here but you will soon be free
You don't know I could steal the moon for you,
You don't know I could steal the moon for you
5. Alonely
I'm all alone
Waiting for no one
I see the daylight fade away
I'm so afraid
I know you're around me
I hear you crying in the wind
If I could bring you back
If I had the power, I'd give you my world
And my life, you'd have it all
But life is not a game
And I know the rules and I know I must follow
them every single day
I feel that I'm loosing it all
There's nothing left to live for
I'm ending it all in my dreams
It always seems so easy in my sleep
I'm all alone
Waiting for darkness
I wish the sun would slip away
I still believe that you didn't leave me
I see your shadow in the haze
If I could have some peace
Ending the nightmare, closing the chapter
And join you in your sleep
But life is not a game
And I know the rules and I know I must follow
them every single day
I feel that I'm loosing it all
There's nothing left to live for
I'm ending it all in my dreams
And deep inside I knew
That there was one part of me
That tried to save you from yourself
The other let you go and I will
Never deny I was walking on the line of
Here and nevermore in selfish pride
6. I Return
Day and night just come and go
I hate that life is so deceiving
I feel this urge to turn away
From all the sadness and grieving
I find my way back to the place where we parted
All I hear is my heart pounding inside
I'm so afraid of what I'll see when I return
There's a part of me that needs to say goodbye
Until we meet again
Now and then he reappears
In my dreams
In my illusions
Pointing out the chosen path
It feels so real
Am I really dreaming?
Soon I'll see what time has done to my creation
Hell on Earth is just a few steps away
The Sun is hiding
I am in the heart of darkness
I'm closing in on the godforsaken tree
The moment I defy the pain
Is here again, in another way
All the fear in my life
Is erased from my soul
I never knew that my fantasies
Could be oh so close to reality
And what I see here right now
Is so hard to believe
I see the rope, my friend is gone
His body's nowhere to be found
I hear him whisper in the wind
I hear him calling out my name
Am I going insane?
The moment I defy the fear
Is here again, I can feel he's near
All the fear in my life
Have returned to my soul
I never knew that my fantasies
Could be oh so close to reality
And what I'm hearing right now
Is so hard to believe
7. Shadowland Serenade
I can t believe that this is happening to me
So many years of being young, wild and free
When I m living like a refugee
A plague upon my soul for all eternity?
How come I never knew until the night that she had spoken?
Why did she have to tell me about the way we used to be?
She made a sacrifice for the sake your survival
I m awake in shadowland
Somebody take tome landscape where the dawn awaits
Wide awake in shadowland
Let me unite with my reality in the light of day again
The spirits took me to the valley of the light
Where the rays of dawn prepare for battle with the night
Withering dandelions are scattered in the wind
And right there by a gateway, no! I can t believe the sight
Someone is standing there in a silver blue reflection
You see the one that you were in the life you had before
It s just a memory. They come alive here by the gateway
I m awake in shadowland ..
As a enter the gateway I can see it disappear into the mist
It seems like there is no return from here
I feel so peaceful inside, like my soul is laid to rest
The landscape is so enchanting, I m spellbound by the light
What is happening to me??
The dream is taking to me places unknown
I m not so sure that I wanna be here anymore
I ve lost the power to control my awaking
I m imprisoned in the world of sleep
I can t believe that this is happening to me
A plague upon my soul for all eternity?
Right here in front me I see the angel of illusion
She s just another image from the corners of your mind
She s just a fantasy from your imagination
I am lost in shadowland
Nothing can take me back to where the dawn relights the day
All alone in the shadowland
And I wonder if I ll ever feel alive again
8. Glory Days
All I can feel is the beat of my heart
And I count every breath that I take
The darkness will drain all the pleasure and pain
And delete all emotions inside of me
For better or worse
There s shadow in my soul now
I feel it inside as I am fading away
The replay of my life
I see it running in my mind now
Familiar faces smiling back at me
On the day I was born
Now I am dying all alone
A view from the past will remind me of the good times
That I had in the innocent days
I was one of the young with a spirit so strong
Never knew make believe from reality
The tears that I cry
Through the eyes of the betrayer
It might be the last that I taste in this life
There s no room for the sorrow in this is image of a lifetime
Only delight and the joy life has given me...
Oh, it s a taking me back to the glory days
I smile as I fade in this empty space
The memories awake and this feels like I m alive
In this glory days
I have no regrets; I know there is no return
Awaiting the end it all
But I m walking of air every minute in here
This is a beautiful way to go
It s a taking me back to the glory days..
I know the end will soon be here
And all I am will disappear
I wish I could stay in wonderland
And relive the glory days
9. Losing Myself
Losing time
Counting hours, I'll never see myself again
And even though I'm alone I can't remember what I'm missing
So I leave it be
Closing down
I expect the hopelessness and everything
And even though I'm alone I can't remember what I'm missing
And It's all I need
I am lost, I feel I am sinking now
Like I was made of rain
Like a wave I roll into the endless night
I'm not afraid as the darkness tries to make its way
I breathe as hard as you as I end my day
I sigh in silence as I try to sink that deep
As deep as you and make sure that I won't fall asleep
Losing days
I Need no hours, I'll never be myself again
And even though it's killing me I can't remember what I'm missing
So I leave it be
I'm closing down
I expect the hopelessness again at night
And even though it's killing me I can't remember what I'm missing
But it might be you
I am lost, I feel I am sinking now
Like I was made of rain
Like a wave I roll into the endless night
I'm not afraid as the darkness tries to make its way
I breathe as hard as you as I end my day
I sigh in silence as I try to sink that deep
As deep as you and make sure that I won't fall asleep
I'm not afraid as the darkness tries to make its way
I breathe as hard as you as I end my day
I sigh in silence as I try to sink that deep
As deep as you and make sure that I won't fall asleep
10. Better Safe Than Sorry
When I was young I thought the world around could see the vision through my eyes
Communicating through my melodies I knew the world would help me through
Then I grew up to find that all the dreams I had in mind required more then my gift
More of the pain than the pleasure
Better safe than sorry
And here I am losing everything again
I'll never have to worry about the game
I'll never win I'll never lose
I'm not playing at all
Never gamble at all
Many years ago I met the one, and all my dreams of angels faded away
I opened up and even let her in, to kill the enemy within
And even though she tried to keep her love for me alive
Oh it kills me to say, I let it wither away again
Better safe than sorry
And here I am losing everything again
I'll never have to worry about the game
I'll never win I'll never lose
Better safe than sorry
And here I am losing everything again
I'll never have to worry about the game
I'll never win I'll never lose
I'm not playing at all
Oh, that I'm lonely
Without someone by my side
I long for the only person in this world who's a part of me
I'm taking back of all the things I've been going through
You gave me strength to carry on
I'll do the best I can to make you want to be around
I really need you in my life
And maybe I was born to wander through this world alone
I left a good life behind where my heart beating nigh forever
Better safe than sorry
And here I am losing everything again
I'll never have to worry about the game
I'll never win I'll never lose
Better safe than sorry
And here I am losing everything again
I'll never have to worry about the game
I'll never win I'll never lose
I'm not playing at all
