1. The Czarina Of Vermillion
[music by Unicorn, lyrics by Dan Swan�]
Calling for the warlock that will lead us through the sparks.
Heading for the landscape where the otter never barks.
Creatures from the lost world they were playing hide and seek.
Look at all the crickets who's reflecting in the creek.
Then I saw the sky beneath all the trees,
bedazzled with mica, mesmerized by red,
who's baffling with my head?
The Czarina of vermillion.
She lives with the platypus who is a friend of Ghazh
The Czarina of vermillion.
Just by a sleight of hand, she holds the veil so grand I sigh.
Friendly is the beauty, she is talking like a dream.
Holding back the secrets, Ghahz is lying by the beam.
I talk so nice, about weather and rice but she is ignoring the fact.
Then I got mad, the ferrets are sad.
Czarina she opened the riddle.
Then I saw thing it shone colour bright.
Red as the dawn. Cut as the lawn.
The star is out of sight.
The Czarina of vermillion...
I have seen the entity
The crimson and the clown
Waiting for my turn to see the mica burn.
And tears have filled my yellow ice,
the mistery's been found, no more
mystery only history for all.
2. Messenger
[music by Unicorn, lyrics by Dan Swan�]
Deep in the dead of the night,
silhouettoes on my window, why?
I guess I will never know.
The themes will always come and go.
And I'm never gonna be the same.
Never gonna be the same again.
I know, you show the mage coming from a distant age.
Messenger of fear and pain, messenger of love.
Messenger of fear and pain, messenger of time.
Messenger of fear and pain, messenger of love.
Messenger of fear and pain, messenger.
I stand on a wave in time,
always searching for the clouded space.
I guess it will never show,
The theme will always be the glow.
And I'm never gonna be the same again,
Never gonna be the same again.
I show, you throw the page stolen from the human race.
Messenger of fear and pain...
Face the face of heaven (Face the face)
Caught within a spell.
Dreaming dreams if heaven (Dreaming dreams)
Dreaming dreams of hell.
Messenger of fear and pain...
3. The Likes of No One
[Music by Unicorn, lyrics by Peter Edwinzon/Unicorn]
Have you ever tried to count the stars?
Do they remind you of how small we are?
We the people of the planet earth,
we cannot rule the universe.
But my love is bigger than all those things.
It makes me feel like I'm the king of kings.
When I see your hair blowing in the wind.
I close my eyes and I can hear you sing:
My heart belongs to you, my soul if you want it too.
But when I open up my eyes, it's like a
big black hole in my heart that cries.
Because in every word you say
and every time I pray there is a wire bursting deep inside of me.
And everytime I read the words that you have seed
there is a fire burning deep inside of me.
Have you ever felt that you need someone
and you cannot breathe without her around.
I need her now so I can breathe again, it's
been a lack of air for so long my friend.
In my dreams I see how she comes to me.
Oh, how I wish they were reality.
No other girl in the whole wide world can
fill up the hole that she's made in me.
I can see the rain hit the window.
Outside I can hear the wind blow.
There's more water in my eyes, than
the rain that falls from the clouded sky.
Because in every word you say...
I, the king of kings, I fly with broken wings.
And I can feel and I can hear, what the future brings.
4. Ever Since
[Music by Unicorn, Lyrics by Dan Swan�/Unicorn]
Sitting here alone, waiting for someone to take me away from loneliness
And I wonder for how long do I have to wait for someone to caress?
And though I dream of love it's so hard to define.
And there's noone around that I want to be mine, to be mine.
And Ever Since the rain fell on my lonely heart
I realize that there's no cure for love.
And ever since the wind blew through my tiny soul I wonder who will
I be dreaming of?
Be dreaming of.
Just another day, feeling just the same
because someone put out my only flame.
And I know by now that all clich�s,
they have a meaning in this empty space.
I try to concentrate and sort out who I need.
But noone's there to fill the heart that I must feed.
That I must feed.
Ever since the rain fell from the skies
of hope my eyes are filled with tears that
soon will flow.
And ever since the wind blew thru my tiny soul.
I realize the way that I must go.
And I found a way to follow.
It led me to another view.
Love had found a clue.
Somewhere down the lonely road she came passing by.
I no longer feel the rain falling from the sky.
Now I'm king and she's my queen.
We have gained the throne.
Now the fields are evergreen.
My heart is not alone.
Now the rain has gone away and the sky is clear and blue.
The sun's been shining since the day, the day that I found you.
You're the meaning of my life, the one that makes me sign.
Since the day you dried my heart.
You are everything!
5. When The World Came Watching
[Music and lyrics by Unicorn]
I can still remember how it used to be when we were younger and life just
went so easily.
Never cared of anything or what the future could bring.
Locked up in the oak we learned to sing.
And soon I'll see you run away into the world they say is where we all
belong.
I hope you listen to this song, we gonna play it on and on.
When the world came watching, the stork just want away.
There were oh so many things I wanted him to say.
And when the world came watching the stork just went away.
And I am just waiting for that day.
When the world came watching [repeat 4 times]
Moving to a place so far beyond the sun.
We will maybe follow if we can.
Now we've realized you were the the only one.
I guess I'll always remember how you ran.
The soul is running, the shell is standing here.
We will always loose things we hold dear.
Maybe we can stay but will you come back?
And help us to put our visions down the track.
When the world came watching, the stork...
If I had a million.
I would throw it in a wishing well.
You are the world of worlds why don't you stay with us and play.
And play.
Please sing with us our world.
My life is falling down.
My home has gone away.
The oak in tears will drown, what more is there to say?
Alone I'm standing tall. My back is straight but why?
I am waiting for you to fall but inside I wanna cry, cry for you.
Crying for you.
Crying for you.
I'm crying for, I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying for you.
6. Hide
[Music by Unicorn, lyrics by Dan Swan�/Peter Edwinzon]
I wonder who will see this ship without a sailor on an open sea?
I ride upon the wawes, I'm following the wind to where a shore will be.
Upen the ocean I sail with pride.
See the horizon where my dreams all died.
Still I can see the,.
You can hide your heart
But you can't deny your love.
You can hide your heart
But you can't deny your love.
An ocean of my tears
I sail upon my sorrows and my hull still sleeps
I breathe and drift away
Destination; harbour where my heart can weep.
Never believe that my love will show
just like the sunrise, a neverending glow.
Burning forever.
You can hide your heart...
Here I am on the waters of broken hearts.
I know the rules and when the game is lost.
Still I ride on the memories of all the years.
My veins have dried because it's blood I've cried.
7. Times of Change
[Music by Unicorn, lyrics by Dan Swan�]
Father, are you leaving us this way?
Oh, I hope that you will come back one day.
Mother, tell him to stay, 'cause I don't want him to go away.
Just like a knife taking someone's life, pull the trigger to your gun.
Just like a knife taking someone's life, then the deed is done.
Times of change my friend, you know we got a land to defend.
And your father will return.
Until then the candle of hope will burn, it will burn.
Sister, can you believe the things that our father achieves.
Brother, can you understand, father is sent to save the land.
Just like a knife taking someone's life, pull the trigger to your gun.
Just like a knife taking someone's life, then the deed is done.
Times of change my friend, you know we got a land to defend.
And your father will return.
Until then the candle of hope will burn, it will burn.
8. Drew
[Music by Unicorn, lyrics by Dan Swano]
Once again he's got the feeling.
But his dreams are always drained by the ceiling.
He keep on seeing this reflection and all he wants to do is
to follow its direction.
Nowadays he watches the sunrise.
Because it reminds him of her clear eyes.
If only he could feel her might.
It would help him through the night.
It would helphim find delight.
His mind is always set on her turning his mind into a blur.
The natural beauty he claims that she is cna never rebuild his departed
bliss.
When will he see her draw pictures of all they never saw?
When will he see her eyes closer them a dream away?
Everytime he sees the nightfall.
He believes that he can hear the wind call.
Winter came and time grew older.
And all he wanted to do was to hold her.
Never to run away again.
His mind is always set on her turning his mind into a blur.
The natural beauty he claims that she is cna never rebuild his departed
bliss.
When will he see her draw pictures of all they never saw?
When will he see her eyes closer them a dream away?
9. Liquefy
[Music by Unicorn, lyrics by Dan Swan�/Peter Edwinzon]
I was crying in my dream one night, why I wish I knew.
You can be a pretty sight but I always feel black and blue.
I was dying in my dream one night.
I'm afraid that it will come true.
You were putting out my light but I guess I'm pulling through.
You.
I remember these words you said.
You.
I remember when you wore red.
The neverending cry.
Soon to liquefy into the sea of tears.
Don't you confirm my fears.
The neverending cry.
Soon to liquefy into sea of tears.
Don't you confirm my fears.
You were sighing in my ears those days.
I still remember lines.
I've been trying to rebuild a phrase, your words, were they the sign?
Cry, I'm dreaming away.
Why? A winter day in May.
You, I remember the words you said.
I've been looking for a place to go.
Where I can cleanse my fluid.
Looking for the place you showed.
Where I am stripped completely nude.
You...
The neverending cry...
10. Zoetrope (The Weirdest Of Tales)
[Music by Unicorn, lyrics by Dan Swan�]
I am walking in the silent rain,
where the young one's free,
the old man's sane,
I am waliking it alone, this magic lane.
The sap of those who shall remain,
regain the throne of redulence, unify the
leprechauns and go.
Renew the sapid sward
Welcome. They return.
The turbid mere will quail.
Zoetrope.
Turning around in circles as we live.
The gyration has made it turn.
The tot that touches the tottery turf
He's wishing it would be a birch
so that he could taste the cosy bark.
I am dreaming of a branch of lime.
Knowning it would heal his maul, trying
hard to misgive his chief.
The minx a jinx with whisk??
And it is waiting to reform.
The torsive hedgehog won't!!
Zoetrope...
Watch how it burns!
Oh, for how long?
Do we have to wait for infinity?
Oh, for how long?
Do we have to wait for infinity now?
Now you've heard the weirdest tale.
Phrases that's unentaled.
Now fold your rod and come along
to where those tales began...Go!
You have taken all what you are!
11. Afterglow
[Genesis' cover]
[Music and lyrics by Tony Banks]
Like the dust that settles all around me,
I must find a new home.
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter,
Are all as one to me now.
But I, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
I miss you more.
Than the sun reflecting off my pillow,
Bringing the warmth of new life.
And the sounds that echoed all around me,
I caught a glimpse of in the night.
But now, now I've lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one.
And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
For now I've lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none,
I miss you more.
