1. THE ABYSS

And so we leave our mighty dreams
Still hard to cover
World don't mean a thing
When life's one darkest hour
Forgotten promises fall without reason...

Maybe we seem strong
with mask torn down all lose their power
Stars won't shine so bright
Courting death - our last lover
All's lost and wasted in forsaken vision...

On quest for joy pretending's the art
See the actor die in his best part
Is anguish that we feel the greatest attraction
How death is charming our poor lives

[Bridge]
His days are nearly over
but still he tries to understand
Every tear he had to bury
Every grave in no man's land

[Chorus]
Old man dies [is dying]
Alone in bed where all his life [denying]
He used to cry, he used to hide
Fears of tomorrow, gray shades of old sorrow
Believe me my friend, life's not fair
When everything you cling to
Every dream that seems true
Is just a castle in the air

Forgotten promises fall without reasons
All feelings cast away on the island of treason

Storm in his mind he can't find the decision
All's lost and wasted in forsaken vision

[Bridge]

[Chorus]


2. WINGS WE BURNT IN SILENCE

Forgive me all poets of sadness
Crying prophets of black days
I thought your laments were so empty
Till I was lost in endless haze

Come to join the world
The world of the insane
All tickets have been sold
Though show remains the same

Here inside my mind
this mind that needs no blame
I've turned the planet upside - down
I am fool in wisdom's name

[Bridge]
And so we pretend this all was meant to be
denying imagination of the past
But if we create our own destiny
why do we cut its wings burning 'em so fast

[Chorus]
Behold the scars we hide inside us
That no one ever dares to show
Remains of wings we burnt in silence
Then buried 'neath the coldest snow
And when the heat of circumstances
Dissolves these headstones into tears
All ancient wounds are resurrected
They weep out loud but no one hears

Somehow it returns in my sleep
It comes to dig my grave so deep
And I can not close an eye
As the morning's getting near
Nightmares are crawling look how their mean
In twilight of hypnotic scene
Be careful what you fear of
It may become so real

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

So welcome to my world
Yes, I'm your lord my friend
Whole story has been told
Who wants to hear it once again
Deep inside this mind
The hall of foolish flame
See the smile of the dying clown
This rainbow falls - no gold to claim


3. ...AND RAINBOWS FALL UNSEEN

Some people fly too high
Up to rainbows in the sky
They pretend it's not so far
In the eye of the storm

And when the heaven's getting near
There's a call that you must hear
As you're rising to the sun
It's melting wax on your wings
I see you fall...

[...And sometimes it feels really bad
It's like losing things that we've never had
All those words we can't leave behind
Like magic found but left unsaid]

Look there is nothing to do for my world
You say there's nothing more your world can give me
Against all this time I'm fighting the years
I'm calling your name but I know you can't hear me
When sleep comes I see it before my eyes
I once had it all
I wonder if so lost we'll ever find
what we are looking for

[Bridge]
If this moment was a lifetime
And this rhyme was my last breath
I would know that thought of dying
Is not the reason of this sad
And what good's a rainbow without the pot of gold
What good is a dream I can not hold

[Chorus]
Standing here I'm trying to save
Memories we can't escape
Take me to all the places that we have been
Where no rainbow falls unseen

[Bridge]

[Chorus]


4. THE ONCOMING TIDE

Step with me into a dream
Where nightmares are too real
And the moon will send its shadows
On everything you feel

The burden of our lives -
Dreams and wisdom pay the price
The cost of going on...

I caught the tears of nevermore
I heard all prayers you never dared to say
I'm pain that will arrive
The dawn of your final day

[Bridge]
I'm your pride
I'm your rage and war
I'm the reason of your fall
Your end after all

[Chorus]
Those who died to find a clue
Deep in the ground they're trapped in their silence
As they know that I am you

I know you're waiting me
Don't need a prophet to see I'm the only way
No flood or tragedy
I'm your madness and world's my prey

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

When the skies will be falling
In the cry of last child born
You'll be cloning all gods waiting
They shall quiet the storm
My tide is coming on -
A wicked way of telling you
That man has gone too far

[Chorus]


5. FAIT ACCOMPLI

Nearness of death hangs like the storm clouds
Over my head, the blood on my hands

Wrong time at wrong place
Why am I here ?
I can't explain what happened
Can it be real ?

See what I don't have to see
It changes my plans
One senseless accident
No fall from grace

My destiny is kind of strange to me / Alea jacta est
Murder or witness, blind eyes to see
New crown of thorns adorns my head / I'm innocent
Blood runs cold and sky is burning red

[Bridge]
Where is my truth, where is the justice
I ask in my mind, God tell me why
Reflection of my past life
Do I have much time ?

[Chorus]
I see the light in the end of the line
beyond the border of night
Hope's still alive
I trust forever till the final moment of my life

Cold of this cell takes my breath away
Have I right to live for one more day
Who'll give the helping hand and give me strength to survive
Is here a chance to win this useless fight

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

No one will bow before my throne of pain
Desperation surrounds me again
Laughing of death I still hear in my ears
Fait Accompli, who'll return all these wasted years


6. THE LAST CANDLE (BLIND GUARDIAN COVER)

Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Have you forgotten him

Far from the land
Where the sun is born
Down in the wood "Caladon"
Do you know that place
Where the light is never seen
And all hopes are turned
By the final cry
Turned to Stone

Whispering tunes in the wind
All hopes are gone with the night
When the old man will never come back
Remembre his words and his songs
And we see the raven flying in the distance
But no wizard's singing his song

Somebodies out in the night
I fly in time
The last candle will burn
There's hope for everyone
When the last candle burns high
Oh it's time for life

The elves and gnoms have to hide
When the moon is showing it's face
And raging orcs will set their traps
And all forests will burn
They hate green trees
And love the dark
They don't understand
That they're caught and left alone
They feel the magic in the wind
They just fear the old man's song

Corrupted old gnom
Betrayer of all
You know so much about all
What is your price ?

"Too much, too much
You cannot pay with your silver and your gold
There's just a little chance to save the wizard's life
There's just a little chance for all you fools
Now pay"

And so I walk across the land
And hope to hear the wizard's song

Somebodies out there
I feel there's somebody
Somebodies out there
I feel there's somebody
