1. FACING THE DREAM

[Instrumental]


2. AWAY

Memories fade
Oh I just try to scream
Noone may hear my cries
It's so quiet in here
But if my memories fade...
memories fade... away...

Away... Away...
won't you take my pain away?

Away... Away...
won't you take my pain away?

Oh if I try to scream
don't leave me aching here!
come to release me!

Oh if I try to scream
so loud you'd even hear
Oh if I try to scream away!

Tears I cannot save
when I fall into the silence
with its freezing voiceless songs
(whispering) lower than a sigh

Darling don't be afraid
of this dreadful scary darkness
it just tries to take your pain away

Away... away...
won't you take my pain away?

Away... Away... to forget
the grief that I once felt

Oh if I try to scream
don't leave me aching here!
come to release me!

Oh if I try to scream
so loud you'd even hear
Oh if I try to scream away!

I wish I were safe
back in my shell
out beyond the furthest end
far away


3. ANCIENT SHADOWS

Ancient shadow, come!
I feel your spirit is around,
I feel your cold breath on my cheeks!
I am hopeless, in despair
lift my head and see you're not there
Once I saw your radiant face,
I fell in love and lost my head
Please, don't let me think you don't care
Oh Ancient shadow, come to me!
Whisper love words in my ears

Sigh and sing and let me feel.
Take away this hollow fear away from me
Ancient shadow, come!
Light this darkness, Come!
Soar through the night on spectral wings!.
Here's where my journey begins.
Give to me the gift of light.
Oh, Dream-weaver from the past,
Heal my broken heart with your love.
Once I saw your sparkling eyes,
Freezing flames shining inside
Trapped my soul within your sight
Ancient shadow, come to me.
Knock on my door. I'll let you in.
Hold my hands, please don't leave me.
Scratch my walls and let me know
You're standing very close... to me

Ancient shadow, come to me!
Whisper love words in my ears.
Oh, come back. Oh please don't leave me.
Sigh and sing and let me feel.
Take away this hollow fear away from me
Ancient shadow, come!
I'm still waiting, come!
I'm still waiting! Ancient shadow come!


4. BUT IF YOU GO

You've become my sweet obsession
sometimes a gift, sometimes a curse
I hear no other voice than yours
why do I feel so weak and so unsure...
if I can ask for more?

We both know certain feelings have no name
but do we fight? or do we pray?
oh fate may bring another chance again!
my heart explodes in joy then hesitates
feels like beating to death

I won't question how long it may last
but I wonder if you still care for me
Let me worship all the time we have
and remember you're always free to leave
But if you go away from me
please let me think at least
that if I lose all faith in myself
you're there to believe in me
if I lose all faith in myself
you're there to believe in me


5. I STEAL THE LEAVES

I steal the leaves
But I'll bring them back in spring

I bring the daylight with my spells
That light will fade where my shadow dwells
My voice arises in this song
that brings a silence deeper than a tomb

And I could grant any wish you dream
for all the promises I shall not keep
this way we're linked in each other's chains
and thus the cycle runs again

I am the chaos that brings the order back
Rush every second and then stop the time
As dead and breathless as any newborn life
Can be both shapeless or graceful like swans are

I... I... I steal the leaves
But I'll bring them back in spring

And I could grant any wish you dream
For all the promises I shall not keep
This way we're linked in each other's chains
And thus the cycle runs again

I'm the open window. I am the closed door
When I say maybe. I state not anymore I am your courage/ I am your inner doubt
When I push forward I make you step back

I... I... steal the leaves
But I'll bring them back in spring
I steal the leaves


6. THE CALL OF THE NYMPH

Down here I hardly see the world through water lilies
rounded and edged distorted silhouettes
Under the waters my graceful being suspended
by a rope of weeds bound so tightly to my waist

It's so silent down here I can only hear
the hissing murmur of the distant river
It's so freezing so cold come to me my dear, my dear...
Won't you dare to break the glassy surface
of this shady pond?
there's no reason to feel fear if your heart is wise and pure
Are you afraid it is not?

Where do you hide?
Where do you go?
Why do you run away?

It seems it was ages ago
I last saw the shining sky
how many souls I may devour
to become a dragonfly?
And fly high
Down here I hardly see the world through water lilies


7. THE WILLOW'S LULLABY

Beware ...
Beware ...
go to find a safer place to rest
When you hear the willow's hiss
beware if you dare dream neath its leaves
beware, go to find a safer place

It mourns the forest that it once dwelt
It mourns the birds that had left their nests
and flew away ...

When the willow sings half alive
it releases all the pain it hides inside
if you hear its song alone
You fall sleep and your soul is gone

This willow has bitter heart
This willow has bitter soul
so...
Beware...


8. NOTHING

There, if you're there
you may be out there
Oh There may be a way
Please, be back to me!
I wish, I wish I could die right now
cos I cannot feel anything at all
I wish, I wish I could die right now
lay my back and rest
now i sink so deep
and I would sell my soul
if you're back
Oh I am nothing
nothing but grief
nothing you care about
Oh there is nothing
nothing but ghosts
nothing but aching thoughts
Oh I am nothing
now that I am nothing for you
Nothing
nothing you miss
nothing but silence
nothing but me
and there is nothing
nothing but void
nothing but anger
and my lost hopes
and there is nothing left
now that I am nothing for you
Oh I am nothing
Now that I am nothing for you
but you know...
moths fly to light
when they're blind in delight
But you don't know...
...I feel like nothing... nothing

13. THE VOICE OF THE NIGHT

I swear I've heard…
the voice of the night

It's a gloomy place
But I need to rest
I've roamed away my entire life
At the very end my old aching eyes
Desert the day, can't stand the light
And now I think I hear
The voice of a thousand million stars
The night… the voice of the night

Night, Oh Night
If I find at last my shelter in your arms
Will you let me in and stay?
Do you swear you'll take me there?
Oh I'm not afraid and I'm still alive
Night, Oh Night
There's a riddle to be solved within the dark
And there's a miracle in each sound
That heals my scars now that I'm hurt
And Now I can hear the sweet owl's lullaby
The night, the voice of the night

Will you let me find my song among those notes?
Golden sun is hidden and moon caress is cold
Will you let me find my song among those notes?
My heart needs to get warmer and it can't wait for dawn
It can't wait for dawn
The voice of the night…


14. LAMENT

I moved the moon to grow the tides
just to leave myself drifting in the waves
And I devoured the light of sun
made it black to blind my eyes
and see what eyes can't see
I'll break the root of every tree
and spoil the life from seeds
and curse lands to decay....
I'll make the rivers run back dry
I can't find what I lost
just pebbles, bones and dust
No one stays...
Nothing lasts...
It aches, how deep it aches
It hurts, how deep it hurts
aches…

Now that you're gone, may all that's done becomes undone
How deep it aches!

17. I'M RIGHT HERE

I imagine I lay quietly in your bed
I see you're sleeping, but you cannot sense my gaze
How could you see me invisible as I am?
Then I nestle, try to clasp you round the waist
and feel you're breathing resting my lips upon your neck
How could you feel it... (feel me, feel me now!)
intangible as I am?
But I'm right here and I'm so brave
I dare to love you. I dare!
I imagine...
Oh my mind just flies so wild!
The words I utter seems to get dry in my mouth
How could you listen inaudible as I am?
Are you deaf not to hear my words?
Are you blind not to see me around?
Are you just heartless?
But if you're scared, dare open your eyes
If you're slept, let me wake you up
You may curse your soul if you deny me
Just imagine I'm right here


18. SUEÑO MUERTO

En la tierra donde el aire encadena
Ahí yazco iluminada por la etérea luna llena
y su rostro fantasmal me invita a descansar
pero me advierte que no voy a despertar
pero ¿a quién le importa ya?
¿Quién ha reclamado mi alma de piedra?
Mi corazón no late y las manos se me cierran
atrapando en vano el tiempo...
Y es mi sueño el que roe mi alma
el que apaga las estrellas
Es mi sueño el que sufre y se calla
cuando se hiela en mis venas
Mi sueño muerto...
dentro de mi...
Lo oigo gritar ...
...olvidado entre tinieblas
Es mi sueño el que hiere y desgarra
y se aferra a la existencia
Lo he perdido en el abismo y no lo encuentro
Ha sucumbido en el silencio y no lo tengo
y es que sólo ha de salvarme ya
encontrar un sueño nuevo
Ah, mi lamento
ha volado lejos, se lo llevó el viento
y ahora vuelve susurrando ¡niña en pie!
aquí está tu nuevo sueño
Ahora vuelve susurrando... ¡Niña, en pie!
Aquí está tu nuevo sueño
