1. ANCIEN REGIME

In a time, where enlightenment reigns the day (enlightment reigns)
Seventeenth century France (reigns the day)
With its ideals, laws, reasons and beliefs
Vive la France

(Vive la France)
(Vive la France)

A land in debt, people in fear (land in fear)
The crown, King Louis the Sixteenth's (foolish king)
A fool, such fool of a king
Vive la France

This is the end of your domination
This is the end of tyranny
This is the end of your reign of terror
End of Ancien Régime

(La fin de Ancien Régime)

Libère la France

This is the end of your domination
This is the end of tyranny
This is the end of your reign of terror
End of Ancien Régime

This is the end of your domination

2. VITRUVIAN MAN

Deep inside the hills of Tuscany
The city of Florence
A symphony of life and hope
The throbbing heart of a new world

The universe
A tiny grain of sand
In time and space
A dewdrop in the sea

See the stars,
The sun and moon and all those worlds besides our own
Like the morning, dawns the rebirth of mankind

Can you see, it's a brand new world
Like a distant star, the wonder of the Vitruvian Man

Countless colors come to life and render more than a thousand words
An age of curiosity will light the way

Silhuettes
Humans set in stone
Rinascita
The dark age is no more

Can you see, it's a brand new world
Like a distant star, the wonder of the Vitruvian Man

Rinascita dell'umanità

Can you see, this is a brand new world
Like a distant star, the wonder of the Vitruvian Man

Can you see, it's a brand new world
Like a distant star, the wonder of the Vitruvian Man

Vitruvian Man

Vitruvian Man

Vitruvian Man

Vitruvian Man


3. THE RŌNIN

Through the names of brothers untold
In the mist and fog, he's growing old
Wonders the fields with noble strides
In a time where the empire divides

His reign, lost with honor, lone he dies
Daimyo, the lord of the samurai

Oh the lonely samurai
Left alone, his world reduced to ash
A rōnin now hereby
Oh the lonely samurai

A masqurade of long-forgotten men
At the rite of passage meet again
Guarding his sacred shrine,
Through dark nights, the spirits will lead him
To dragon's fire long-awaiting

His reign, lost with honor, lone he dies
Daimyo, the lord of the samurai

Oh the lonely samurai
Left alone, his world reduced to ash
A rōnin now hereby
Oh the lonely samurai

Flesh without a soul
Songbird without a voice
Silently walks the lonely path
Rōnin, the samurai

Oh the lonely samurai
Left alone, his world reduced to ash
A rōnin now hereby
Oh the lonely samurai

Oh the lonely samurai
Left alone, his world reduced to ash
Oh the lonely samurai
Oh the samurai


4. LAWRENCE OF ARABIA

Far to east, lays an ocean made of sand
O'er dunes, sunlight swallows night
Through holy lands his trusty camel's back he rides
He serves with honor and with pride, pride

More than three thousand miles away
French trenches covered in mud
Brave men fighting in their great war
To end all wars

Lawrence of Arabia
His legacy's written in sand
Travelin' through the Holy Lands
Alone

A secret mission, for land and Queen
Arabia, nineteensixteen
Legend says that no man nor god
Could cross the wasteland alive
And legends don't lie

War's a vicious beast
An empire's rising in the east

Lawrence of Arabia
His legacy's written in sand
Travelin' through the Holy Lands
Where time stands

All men dream: but not equally
Those who dream by night
in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake up in the day
to find that it was vanity
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men
to make it possible
They may act their dreams with open eyes

Eyes open wide

More than three thousand miles away
French trenches covered in mud
Brave men fighting in their great war
To end all wars

Lawrence of Arabia
His legacy's written in sand
Travelin' through the Holy Lands
Alone

Lawrence of Arabia
His legacy's written in sand
Travelin' through the Holy Lands
Where time stands

(Still)


5. PNEUMONIC PLAGUE

Dark the clouds that hover up far above our heads
Dark the day, but darker the future yet
Another one's dead, another one's weeping
Is God deaf?

Spreading through the air
Filling up our lungs
Darkness comes

Almighty God, absolve our sins
Burried by the plague, my offspring and myself
Black our flesh burns, but save our souls
Forever we shall live, Lord, take us home

Black the boils that cover the sailors laid to rest
Their sailing coffin, rats did infest
A cargo of death
Grim Reaper in plain sight
We breathe our end

Spreading through the air
Filling up our lungs
Darkness comes

Almighty God, absolve our sins
Burried by the plague, my offspring and myself
Black our flesh burns, but save our souls
Forever we shall live, Lord, take us home

We are all bound tighter
We are hastening to the same
The foul merciless clutches of Black Death
That calls all things breathing
Under the sway of its vile laws
We're all being dragged screaming to the abyss
Through the gates of despair and agony
Welcome!
To the underworld
The purgatory
The realms of darkness itself

Almighty God, absolve our sins
Burried by the plague, my offspring and myself
Black our flesh burns, but save our souls
Forever we shall live, Lord, take us home

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti:
Amen.


6. WAR IN THE NORTH

In the northern realms of snow and ice
A blizzard rages on
Fought together side by side
Brothers but no more
The union falls apart in an endless winter storm
Across two realms the battle carries on

March over the land and sea
The war in the north will go on and on
March over the mountain peak
The war in the north will go on and on

March of the Danish belts
Their forces robbed from them
Can't see through the storm
The Swedes one step ahead
Strike with a fist of will
The sea, covered in ice

March over the land and sea
The war in the north will go on and on
March over the mountain peak
The war in the north will go on and on

The union falls apart in an endless winter storm
Across two realms the battle carries on

March over the land and sea
The war in the north will go on and on
March over the mountain peak
The war in the north will go on and on
(The war in the north will go on)


7. SEVEN HILLS OF ROME

A boy barely turned into a man
Has lead his soldiers through rival lands
His courage and loyalty seen
Avē Imperātor

Divi filius
Imperātor
Avē Imperātor

Rome lays divided into three
An alliance through south, west and east
But falsehood and jealousy creep
Can peace last?

Seven hills of Rome
Seven hills of Rome

My family torn apart
My soul lingers from my heart
Oh my bleeding heart

I am off to my fathers
They aplaud me now, as I fall
I found this place of clay
I leave it of marble stone

I am off to my fathers
They aplaud me now, as I fall
I turned this place from bricks of clay
To gold and marble stone

A man swore to take his sister's hand,
But broke his vows for the queen of sand
For honor he fought at the sea
And avenged his sisters tears

Seven hills of Rome
Seven hills of Rome

My family torn apart
My soul lingers from my heart
Oh my bleeding heart

I am off to my fathers
They aplaud me now, as I fall
I found this place of clay
I leave it of marble stone

I am off to my fathers
They aplaud me now, as I fall
I turned this place from bricks of clay
To gold and marble stone

At last now alone he stands
The ruler of seas and lands
All of Rome adores him

Victorious
Hail Augustus
All of Rome exalts thee

Avē Caesar
Imperātor

Divi filius
Imperātor

Divi filius
Imperātor

As the ships drown into the depths of sea
To Augustus our emperor glory be

Seven hills of Rome
Seven hills of Rome

Pax Romana
An era of glory
With streets of gold

As the ships drown into the depths of sea
To Augustus our emperor glory be
Father of the republic, long may he live
To Augustus our emperor glory be

As the ships drown into the depths of sea
To Augustus our emperor glory be
Father of the republic, long may he live
To Augustus our emperor glory be


8. OPERA OF THE MAGIC FLUTE, ACT 1

Run, be quick, if you wish to live
For the serpent's kiss
Oh it's closing in

Saved by three maidens dressed in white
And brought before the Queen of Night
Will you save my child

Go, Tamino play a euphony
A euphony with this flute of magic
Go, Tamino play your euphony

Let me tell you a tale
One of life and peace
Full of birds singing songs
Wondrous creatures, heroes
And dancing trees
But beware of the darkness
Which hides inside of the high priest's eyes
Every word is a lie
Beware the night

Scared and alone she lay
Sly Sarastro, keeps her locked away
A noble quest for maiden fair
To save her from the evil's lair
How will he fair

As tamino plays his euphony
A euphony, with his flute of magic
As Tamino plays his euphony

Let me tell you a tale
One of life and peace
Full of birds singing songs
Wondrous creatures, heroes, and dancing trees
But beware of the darkness
Which hides inside of the high priest's eyes
Every word is a lie
Beware the night

Beware, evil and ominous is Sarastro
Beware, evil and ominous is Sarastro

Let me tell you a tale
One of life and peace
Full of birds singing songs
Wondrous creatures, heroes, and dancing trees
But beware of the darkness
Which hides inside of the Queen mother's eyes
Every tear is a lie
Beware the night

Dark is the night
With dawn comes the light

Dark is the night
With dawn comes the light

Dark is the night
With dawn comes the light


9. ENIGMA

Once again here we have another threat from the east
Once again burning everything down
Whatever it wants it takes by force
The sea and skies
In dominance holds control of the lands

He never saw
the world created by his hands
A man against his time
No word can justify
Oh why, the code must have become
His destiny

Enigma
To save us all

An apple of death, a bite filled with cyanide
Betrayed by his country men, a suicide
In his darkest hour, a choice he could not take
His life lost for love
His death in disgrace

Who will ever solve the Enigma?
Who will ever stop this endless war?

He never saw
the world created by his hands
A man against his time
No word can justify
Oh why, the code must have become
His destiny

A mystery that must be solved
An enigma to save us all
Break the code and we shall win this war

An enigma that must be solved
Break the code and we shall win this war

An enigma that must be solved
Break the code and we shall win this war

An enigma that must be solved
Break the code and we shall win this war


10. MEMOIR SONATA

Moonlight's sweet tune
Here I wander, as time goes by
Look in my eyes
There's nothing, can't tell you why

Like sand
Crumbling through my hands
My life
Can't forget the past

Time seems to fade
And the tide is on its way
Your absence
Would I suffer another day

A withered tree, bent with sorrow and pain
Through a muse's kiss, strength finds me again
Yet I cannot leave, so much more to give
A new melody calls me to live

My memoir
A sonata for my home
Goodbye Vienna
Goodbye forevermore

Deaf and torn but still I hear
The sweetest music playing in my ear
Old and weak and my end is near
But my muse is singing as I disappear
Deaf and torn but still I hear
The sweetest music playing in my ear
One last score before I disappear
My end is near

Cursed by disease
Drops of sleep take my pain
I fall to my knees, alone

Don't you cry when you find out,
that soon I will be gone
My work is done, time to move on
After all those years
My love endures,
Words, amount to none at all
My soul i have immured behind a wall

Deaf and torn but still I hear
The sweetest music playing in my ear
Old and weak and my end is near
But my muse is singing as I disappear
Deaf and torn but still I hear
The sweetest music playing in my ear
One last score before I disappear
My end is near

"Oh you men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn or
misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me.
You do not know the secret cause which makes me seem that way to you.
I would have ended my life - It was only my art that held me back.
It seemed impossible to leave the world until I had brought forth all,
all that I felt was within me."*

All the worlds, I could unseal
To tell her what I feel
In one last score

Deaf and torn but still I hear
the sweetest music playing in my ear
Old and weak and my end is near
But my muse is singing as I disappear
Deaf and torn but still I hear
The sweetest music playing in my ear
One last score before I disappear
My end is near

All the worlds, I could unseal
To tell her what I feel
In one last score
My end is here
