1. THE AWAKENING

(Instrumental)


2. HOLD BACK THE NIGHT

Something, moving in the shadows
There′s something hiding out of sight
There's something waiting for the moment
The moment when you turn out the light

Hold back the night, you′ve got to find a way
Don't fall asleep, open your eyes
You've got to fight, fight to stay awake
It′s not a dream, as the nightmare arrives

Close your eyes, only for a moment
So peaceful, tranquil and serene
You wake up, wake up somewhere different
You wake up, awake within your dream

Hold back the night, you′ve got to find a way
Don't fall asleep, open your eyes
You′ve got to fight, fight to stay awake
It's not a dream, as the nightmare arrives

Falling, falling into darkness
Your nightmare slowly comes alive
Your demons coming out to get you
Forever trapped here in the night

Hold back the night, you′ve got to find a way
Don't fall asleep, open your eyes
You′ve got to fight, fight to stay awake
It's not a dream, as the nightmare arrives

Hold back, hold back, hold back the night


3. THE DAMES OF DARKNESS

High up on a mountain lives the realm of the witch
A Queendom undiscovered for countless centuries
Judge us not, things are not what they seem
Are we the reason you hear the children scream
Oh, we hear you crying, howling like the wind, like the wind

When your world has ended we′ll be there
We are the dames of darkness
When your soul is a black void we bring light
We are the dames of darkness
When the battles rage, we'll fight by your side
We are the dames of darkness
A victory for you and for us all
We are the dames of darkness

Living in secret from here we observe
Our quest for your protection so join us on this path
Threat? we are not! This is not a bad dream
We hear your every call and will catch you when you fall
Oh, we hear you crying, howling like the wind, like the wind

When your world has ended we′ll be there
We are the dames of darkness
When your soul is a black void we bring light
We are the dames of darkness
When the battles rage, we'll fight by your side
We are the dames of darkness
A victory for you and for us all
We are the dames of darkness

Debemus dominae tenebrarum
De medio umbrae

Whilst the battle raged, we fought by your side
We are the dames of darkness
Now the world is ending for you all
We are the dames of darkness
Brave the night and we'll take you to the light
We are the dames of darkness
We heed your call and we′ll never let you fall
We are the dames of darkness

Here in the darkness, we bleed for you, heed to our call
And we′ll be here for you as you fall


4. THE OTHER SIDE

Spirits drifting through the night
Always there just out of sight
The distant echoes of the past
A fleeting touch that never lasts
Close your eyes and see them there
The souls that never died
Search and you will find them there
On the other side

Spirits drifting through the night
Can you sense them
Always there just out of sight
Have you seen them
The distant echoes of the past
Have you heard them
A fleeting touch that never lasts
Have you felt them
Close your eyes and see them there
The souls that never died
Search and you will find them there
On the other side

Those you loved and those you lost they never went away
Your destiny to join them there and meet again one day
One day, one day

Spirits drifting through the night
Can you sense them
Always there just out of sight
Have you seen them
The distant echoes of the past
Have you heard them
A fleeting touch that never lasts
Have you felt them
Close your eyes and see them there
The souls that never died
Search and you will find them there
On the other side


5. RESONANCE

Resonance
You are within me
Como me largo para ti
You are within me
Como te espero

Across the miles I return to thoughts of you
You capture me with your smile
Can you feel me too
A longing deep within a lucid dream
I reach for your heart
I live within your embrace although we are apart

Como te espero
You are within me
Como me largo para ti
You are within me
Como te espero

Years pass by, I still hope
I′ll meet you once again
So close yet so far away
But I'll never give in
I′ll never stop searching for you
I can feel your tears
I'll sacrifice and abandon all
To chase away your fears

Dispel our lost years as I trust
A fated bond removes a shadow of dust
As I wait here for you in our resonance
Remembering our last dance
I pray we will meet again
This is not our elegy
It's resonance of us
Resonance, and we′ll meet again one day
I will wait here for you

You are within me
Como me largo para ti
You are within me
Como te espero
You are within me
Como me largo para ti
You are within me
Como te espero


6. THE NIGHT AN ANGEL DIED

Sitting in the shadows
Her hands are bound and tied
Shackled and imprisoned
Condemned but never tried
The bleakest of midwinter nights
The like of never known
The cold chills through this chamber
And the frost bites to the bone
Accused of spells and witchcraft
She healed a dying child
She gave a magic potion
From the essence of the wild
A cure of leaf and bramble
Gathered from the land
Now they sentence her to burn
For what they cannot understand

Once an ancient prophecy
Was written in the sky
That a phoenix from the flames
Would spread its wings and fly
And then the non-believers
Would witness with their eyes
That foretold becomes reality
On the night an angel dies

They pushed her through the narrow streets
Beyond the city gates
And dragged her to the summit
And tied her to the stake
A towering mass of timber
Oil to fuel the fire
They light the spark
And watch the flames reach higher, ever higher

Standing, waiting they watch the fire burn
Her final cries of pain one last time return
Remorseful signs of guilt sweeping through the crowd
As deathly silence falls upon this hallowed ground

Tonight witness your destiny
Once written in the sky
Watch the phoenix rise the flames
Spread its wings and fly
And as it breaths upon you
Feel it burn and blind your eyes
And tell the world what happens
On the night an angel dies

And as it breaths upon you
Feel it burn and blind your eyes
And tell the world what happens
On the night an angel dies


7. ETERNITY

Touch me, embrace me
Hold me in your memory
Love me then bury me
Release me into eternity

Close your eyes cast your soul into the darkness
Feel the world around you fall
Your hearts on fire take this power that you harness
Stand your ground and heed the call
Walk the path in the footsteps of the broken
Strip away the flesh from bone
Have no fear just faith and understanding
You can make it on your own

Love me then bury me
Release me into eternity

Reach inside through the layers of emotion
Find the beast that dwells within
Tear it out expel it from the inside
Feel it crawl beneath your skin
Break the chains
Discard the fallen memories
The ruins of your past
Not the first to lose your way in vain
And you′ll never be the last

Leave your mark on the tomb of the nameless
Repent your deadly sins
Draw the blood, release the dying spirit
So the healing can begin

Love me then bury me
Release me into eternity
Love me then bury me
Release me into eternity
Eternity


8. HOME

You have a place called home to call your own
A little blue sphere around a star that holds you near
Do you know how lucky you are to have even got this far
As you float through space on such a small and delicate place

Far away somewhere unknown there′s a world that drifts alone
With no air or atmosphere just a rock for which I shed a tear
It's where I came from forgotten world long dead and gone
It′s the place that I once called home now I drift though space alone

You have a place called home to call your own
A little blue sphere around a star that holds you near
Do you know how lucky you are to have even got this far
As you float through space on such a small and delicate place

Far away somewhere unknown there's a world that drifts alone
With no air or atmosphere just a rock for which I shed a tear
It's where I came from forgotten world long dead and gone
It′s the place that I once called home now I drift though space alone

How can I make you understand you hold your fate within your hand
It could all be gone before you know, respect what you have and don′t let go
Not too late for you to see, you can avoid what's happened to me
What I would give to stand again on the beautiful world from where I came

You have a place called home to call your own
A little blue sphere around a star that holds you near
Do you know how lucky you are to have even got this far
As you float through space on such a small and delicate place


9. BREAK THE CHAINS

See the future and all it could be
Break the chains to find your destiny

Are you living life to the script of the day
Is your world a stage without much to say
Let′s change the rules of this game that we play
Break the chains so we can fly away

Reality, is what you want it to be
Find a moment, imagine and believe
A thought that brightens the darkest day
Change the tune to dance a different way

Ride the wind tonight
Spread your wings and take flight
High into the sky, with wings of angles we fly
Ride the wind tonight
Spread your wings and take flight
High into the sky, with wings of angels we fly
Ride the wind

Enlightened by change, yet often happy the same
Dance the game of life walk without shame

Reality, is what you want it to be
Find a moment, imagine and believe
A smile can brighten my darkest day
Change the tune to dance another way

Ride the wind tonight
Spread your wings and take flight
High into the sky, with wings of angles we fly
Ride the wind tonight
Spread your wings and take flight
High into the sky, with wings of angels we fly
Ride the wind

Reality, is what you want it to be
Find a moment, imagine and believe
A smile can brighten my darkest day
Change the tune and dance another way

Ride the wind tonight
Spread your wings and take flight
High into the sky, with wings of angles we fly
Ride the wind tonight
Spread your wings and take flight
High into the sky, with wings of angels we fly
Ride the wind, fly high
As a new world begins, into the sky
Fly high as we sing

Break the chains and take flight, fly high
Upon the wind tonight, tonight
Into the light, with wings of angels we fly
High upon the wind


10. OUR STORY LIVES ON

Distant shadows of a past I once recall
I close my eyes as I fall
I′m lost in time once again, who was I then
The past calls to me so far from here
In your eyes a tear belies words that remain unspoken
Who were we then

No longer in dissonance
I stand alone with my faith, my own

I stand on the edge of our song,
Now I know where I belong, I belong
As I grasp my lost soul
We become one as our story is told

Once the deep sorrow of our divide
Held me deep within demise
Beside me now my hand you take
As I awake

No longer in dissonance
I stand with you, with faith, our own

I stand on the edge of our song
Now I know where I belong, I belong
As I grasp my lost soul
We become one as our story is told

Truth gives us freedom as we soar high above
A new faith in our hearts through our love
Together at last, we cannot be undone
Our bond to last eternity, forever as one

I stand on the edge of our song
Now I know where I belong, I belong
As I grasp my lost soul
We become one as the story is told

Standing on the edge of our song
And now I know it is with you I belong
Reveries grasp my healing soul, heal me
And now we are one, as our story lives on


11. TWILIGHT

The sun goes down for another day
As I sit here on the edge of the night
The last rays of light slowly fade away
The evening falls and slips out of sight

Don′t let the darkness ever take me
Don't let the twilight let me go

Another day gone just a memory
I look to the heavens and gaze back in time
A wave of emotion that surrounds me
I take this moment and I make it mine

Don′t let the darkness ever take me
Don't let the twilight let me go, let me go

Don't let the darkness ever take me
Don′t let the twilight let me go

Don′t let the darkness ever take me
Don't let the twilight let me go


12. AS SHADOWS PLAY

Here, alone I wander
Through the awakening of truth
Can I forgive, when in sorrow I live
Everafter, haunted
I now stand in the ruins of you
And there as I look in the mirror
I return to the hour
Where I see you as shadows play

Alone, so faded
Now a lost abandoned soul
Through your veil
I saw through the disguise you held
Now I wear the mask throughout the pain
My smile painted once again
Enchained within a silent scream

Hiding in the dark
Whilst I lament through elegy
Reveries lie as they hold me once again
I took your hand but you led me into darkness
Unforgiven years remain... haunted
Haunting me as shadows play

Unravelling false paradise
Frozen inside, inside a soul of ice
Shadows of you play within the darkness
Haunting me
Haunted remnants of promises made
Haunted
And now I stand in the shadow of forgiveness
I drown within a prism of the past
Where my heart burns, as shadows play
