1. DOORWAY OF NIGHT

Day’s golden hue yields to the moon
Soft and silver light will shine with the memory

Tree of light
Silver leaves
Dew of life
Count of Time
Beginning
Darkening

Elder light’s
Requiem
Set in time
Up on high
In Ilmen
Heavens’ crystal crown will gleam
While the sun sleeps

Doorway of Night
Warden on high
Welcome the moon’s ride
On pathways of light

As I behold the open doorway
Night’s glory ascending to reign
Painting silver on all my eyes see
Treasuring this legend of light
Remembering the song that is mine
A secret held in the moon’s memory

Doorway of Night
Warden on high
Welcome the moon’s ride
On pathways of light


2. VITA NOVA

Freedom, new life, awakened empty eyes
Voices forgotten with time whispering again

Voyaging across the sea, the way unknown
Known now the purity of renewed hope
Hope is the music of the song the wind sings to me

Summoning me far out to sea
Voices of the wind reaching within
Calling, “Leave all behind; seek and you’ll find the dark edge of the map gathering light”
Finally waking from long sorrowful dreams
Set free from deadened sleep
Reclaiming lost viridity of youth and spring
Voices of the wind guiding me into the fountain of new life that I have found

Voices forgotten with time whispering again
Whispering again

This time the way less traveled by now is mine

Life is redeemed, finally free
A new song awakes, piercing the grey
No more longing for dreams far out of reach, singing with the wind, let life begin

Summoning me far out to sea
Voices of the wind reaching within
Calling, “Leave all behind; seek and you’ll find the dark edge of the map gathering light”
Finally waking from long sorrowful dreams
Set free from deadened sleep
Reclaiming lost viridity of youth and spring
Voices of the wind guiding me into the fountain of new life that I have found

Vita nova awakened my empty eyes


3. THE HOMESONG’S CALL

Gazing across the centuries
Home is a distant memory
Beneath these trees deep shadows roam
Dark are my dreams in the stars’ ever-fading glow

So long ago I believed
I would return one day back to those shores
To remain evermore

Awaiting love to let me go
Wandering star-dusk shadow
Songbirds sing of long lost light
All I left behind

My heart it longs to escape
This dark wonderland
My heart it bears all the weight
Of my mistakes

I am she who yearns to retrace the steps of memories

My prayer to return erelong
My heart’s evensong

Longing for what was dear to me
Weary of this captivity
Moonlight unveils weeping paths of stone
O’er mountains steep, dare I try to climb my way home?

So long ago I believed
I would return one day back to those shores
To remain evermore

Growing pale as a spirit’s flame
Slumbering souls beneath this place
Deafened to the homesong’s call
I’ve heard all along

My heart it longs to escape
This dark wonderland
My heart it bears all the weight
Of my mistakes

I am she who has walked this lonely world for centuries


4. UNDER THE GREY SKY

Under the dark grey sky
We dream in a world that is our own as we roam
Through this world and hold tight to our glow

Midnight dance in the sun
Can you believe?
Shadow dance, blackest light
Under the trees
In the dark we can hardly see
Though not all is as we dream

Dream in colors all aglow

Under the bleak grey sky
We search for a light as guiding fire to follow
Through this world of pathless mist and cold

Midnight dance in the sun
Can you believe?
Shadow dance, blackest light
Under the trees
In the dark we can hardly see
Though not all is as we dream

Dream of fire all aglow

With broken hope
Colors stained
Dreams will perish, slowly fade
Wayworn souls, seek the flame
Or under grey rainbows we’ll wither away

Midnight dance in the sun
Can you believe?
Shadow dance, blackest light
Under the trees
In the dark we can hardly see
Though not all is as we dream


5. THE BELL

The bell tolls

Hidden from noise and the cruel wind
A place of solace now I have found
My weary mind rests to the toll
Of the bell of time to which we’re bound

The bell keeps on tolling
On graves snow keeps falling

None can escape the hand of time always pushing on, not on this side of (life)
Life is a river without banks always flowing on, no way to get out and back (in)
In this place of remembrance, the silent graves tell the tale of how we used our (time)
Time in this place of deliverance, a memory marked by the tolling of the bell

Time will keep on turning
While our candle’s burning

Time is a wind gaining speed and always rushing on, driving us forward like (snow)
Snow will keep falling on these stones oh so quietly, whispering of all that lies (within)
Within this place of remembrance, the silent graves tell the tale of how we used our (time)
Time in this place of deliverance, a memory marked by the tolling of the bell

Life is a river without banks always flowing on
Life is a clock without a key always ticking on


6. EVERSTRONG

Do you want to follow me to the line, my time has come
You know you must wait and stay behind; don’t turn to stone
I do not forsake you, no
Where I go you’ll one day follow

Please remember at the end of the fight hope is not gone
As you walk this world in shadow and light, you’ll overcome
Let me rest behind rising suns
Seek me when your work here is done

Mourn me not here in this world, for soon the battle’s done
In the land of no return is where the war is won
Returning to where I belong, a new dawn
Go, my love, and sing your song,
Everstrong

Valor is not gained by avoiding the night, but facing all
All that weighs us down and haunts the dark nights of our souls
Speak my name when stars hide their light
Strength is found in the darkest night

Mourn me not here in this world, for soon the battle’s done
In the land of no return is where the war is won
Returning to where I belong, a new dawn
Go, my love, and sing your song,
Everstrong

Farewell, my love, freedom’s song grows
Farewell, my love, it calls me home
For soon the rending of this night…and severance will be made right
Farewell, my love, now I must go
Farewell, my love, you're not alone
Hidden in dreams we'll sing our song…the song of life now
Everstrong

Mourn me not here in this world, for soon the battle’s done
In the land of no return is where the war is won
Returning to where I belong, a new dawn
Go, my love, and sing your song,
Everstrong


7. WINGS OF THE DAWN

Dwindling stars closing their eyes
Night’s hush now ending
Harbinger of the morning light
I hear you singing

“I’ll take the wings of the dawn
Above where wind and sea meet
Hastening to answer the call
Soaring on golden wings
Please wait and watch for me”

The hour has come dispelling night
Shadows receding
Awakening the dreaming skies
I hear you calling

“I’ll take the wings of the dawn
Above where wind and sea meet
Hastening to answer the call
Soaring on golden wings
Please wait and watch for me”

Dancing to the day’s new song, welcoming newborn dawn
Look now to the skies to see the beginning of the light
Rising with the first rays of golden sunrise
I soar into the skies to greet the Harbinger of Light

“I’ll take the wings of the dawn
Above where wind and sea meet
Hastening to answer the call
Soaring on golden wings
Please wait and watch for me”


8. ADRIFT IN ETERNITY

Standing at the river’s end
Here we were tethered
The threshold of this world now seen
Beyond the veil we’re free

Take my hand into the darkness
Soon we’ll find eternal twilight
I’ll take your hand and let go of time
To set adrift in eternity

When starlight will shift and fade
Then we will find the gate
White shores of the ancient ones
Lands far beyond the sun

Take my hand into the darkness
Soon we’ll find eternal twilight
I’ll take your hand and let go of time
To set adrift in eternity

Unmoored by the tides of time
Our love will shine and know true light

Take my hand into the darkness
Soon we’ll find eternal twilight
I’ll take your hand and let go of time
To set adrift in eternity


9. LIGHT (FT. LEAH)

At the edge of the moon
Heady whispers of change
The sea is sleeping calm
In night's dreamy gaze
But in my restless heart
The waves are never still
Pounding on the shore
Horizons beckoning

I'm, I'm sailing on
All fear is gone
I'm sailing on
In dreams
Sage and dark
We become who we are

At the side of the sun
Steady echoes of doubt
Morning skies of red
Sing of woes ahead
Yet no tempest will
Sway me off this course
Beyond the sea or down below
All voyagers are bound to follow

I'm, I'm sailing on
All fear is gone
I'm sailing on
In dreams
Sage and dark
We become who we are


10. RAINFALL

Sun is high
Scorched fields they cry
The song of life…it fades

Remembering
Lush leaves of green
The song in me…is faint

O rainfall
Renew all
O rainfall
Renew all

Waiting for the rain
In this wilderness
Crawling through the endless desert inside of me

Waiting not in vain
Though all is desolate
Weary of the endless desert inside of me

Once tender blooms
The blood of youth
Harsh years will soon…have drained

Clinging to faith
With upturned gaze
I pray for clouds…and wait

O rainfall
Renew all
O rainfall
Renew all

Waiting for the rain
In this wilderness
Crawling through the endless desert inside of me

Waiting not in vain
Though all is desolate
Weary of the endless desert inside of me

O rainfall
Renew all
O rainfall
Renew all

I’m waiting for the rain
In this wilderness
Crawling through the endless desert inside of me

I’m waiting not in vain
Though all is desolate
Weary of the endless desert inside of me

I’m waiting not in vain
Though all is desolate
Looking to the heavens’ ever divine timing


11. AINIAAN (ADRIFT IN ETERNITY - FINNISH VERSION)

Hiljaa joki suojan saa / Quietly the river receives its shelter
Rannalla sydänmaan / By the banks of the heartland
Yhteen meidät liittäen / Binding us together
Vapauteen kutsuen / Inviting us to freedom

Anna mun sua johdattaa / Let me guide you
Siintää jo ikiaikain maa / The land of eternity is looming
Nyt kanssain käy tuonpuolen taa / Journey with me over the beyond
On aika meille siellä ainiaan / Where time for us is forevermore

Kun yö aamun saavuttaa / When the night reaches the morning
Häilyy jo eessäin maa / The land before me is getting clearer
Valkorannat iäisten / White shores of ancient ones
Kutsuu jo näätkö sen? / Summoning us, can you see?

Anna mun sua johdattaa / Let me guide you
Siintää jo ikiaikain maa / The land of eternity is looming
Nyt kanssain käy tuonpuolen taa / Journey with me over the beyond
On aika meille siellä ainiaan / Where time for us is forevermore

Kahleetonna / Unshackled
Vain rakkautemme, se jää / Our love, it stays
Ja kantaa ikuisuutta sylissään / And carries eternity in its embrace

Anna mun sua johdattaa / Let me guide you
Siintää jo ikiaikain maa / The land of eternity is looming
Nyt kanssain käy tuonpuolen taa / Journey with me over the beyond
On aika meille siellä ainiaan / Where time for us is forevermore

Ainiaan / Forevermore


12. LIGHT (ALTERNATE ENDING)

At the edge of the moon
Heady whispers of change
The sea is sleeping calm
In night's dreamy gaze
But in my restless heart
The waves are never still
Pounding on the shore
Horizons beckoning

I'm, I'm sailing on
All fear is gone
I'm sailing on
In dreams
Sage and dark
We become who we are

At the side of the sun
Steady echoes of doubt
Morning skies of red
Sing of woes ahead
Yet no tempest will
Sway me off this course
Beyond the sea or down below
All voyagers are bound to follow

I'm, I'm sailing on
All fear is gone
I'm sailing on
In dreams
Sage and dark
We become who we are
