1. FOR THE MOMENT

The darkness
Is creeping over
These lands again

The warmth of the sun
Is pacing far away
Again the sad feelings
Come to me

I feel it coming
My day of doom
When it feels like there wouldn't be
Anything to live or die for

Oh, Lord once again
I'm lost in the twilight
What should I do?
Oh, please tell me now

Live for the moment
Live day by day
Live for the light
Of the day
And for love

Some days are bright
Some of them are gloomy
Until we reach
Our final destiny

'Till that day
We'll pace in dark night
In this world of injustice
We will pace

Can you still hear the children sing?
Can you see the colors?
Just for a while,
Can't you see?

For those little things
That remind me of hope
I want to live
Until my time has come


2. ARCTIC FLOWER

...Under the ice
In the dark and cold night
Under the moon
In the dying sunlight...

You're born here
But you die here every year
Just to defy
The cold winter

You are an arctic flower
So fragile, yet so strong
In the northern realm
You fight for your life
And as the seasons pass by
You live and die

Soon will your time come
We'll watch your bloom
As the winter frost is gone
You are born again
Bring the joy to us
To the land of despair

The sun rises,
The snow begins to melt
And soon we forget
The time of the twilight

This is the springtime
Flower, this is your time
Rise from beyond the ice
And give us delight

And so the spring came
You rejoiced among the others
For a little while
The sorrow was lifted away
For a little while
Life rejoiced again

Inside the human mind
The thoughts were warm
For a little while
Was love abloom
I almost thought that the grief
Was gone forever

...The first snow...
...Your death...
...Icy grave...

Sweet memories
Of the spring gone
Come back to my mind
As I watch you wither
How could I survive without you,
You arctic beauty?

Farewell sweet flower
Remember to be strong
Or on the next spring
I fear my sorrow won't go
And as the snow melts again
I am waiting for you!


3. DREAM OF ETERNITY

The last shadows
Are fading away
On this last day
I feel no pain

I saw the river of life
Sparkling like crystal
And the tree of eternity
In its green leaves

No more pain
No suffering
Oh, never anymore
Just an endless joy
In eternal light

Too many years
Too many tears
On the way
There is

Too many tears
All too many tears
Until I get there

The minutes passing by
I hear people cry
How long
It will take?

One night
I saw a dream
I was walking through a forest
I came to a lake
And in its surface I saw
Faces from my past passing by
Dear friends I saw
And I saw my old enemies
All of them had a place in my life
And all of them had their story to tell

A little later I stood beside a throne
Watching those people come and go
Some of them were singing
While the others were crying
Some of them went upwards
Some went downwards
Cold waves shivered my spine
As I realized where I was

Some time passed by
And one night again
I dreamed I was walking
Through that same forest again
This time the forest was
Filled with supernatural light
All was quiet and all was still
And then I came to a lake

In its surface
I saw a new kingdom
I saw my destination
I saw the river of life
Sparkling like crystal
I saw the Eternal One

Oh, won't you
Oh, won't you
Oh, won't you take me home

Oh, won't you take me home
Oh, won't you
Oh, won't you take me home
