Les paroles

1. THE SEER

I cut my heart - a gift to you
You leave salt in my wound
You are inside my wall of thoughts
But in yours I'm unknown

My desperation finds a look of hero's gone
Legends tell about a saviour wise and strong
I'm burning at the stake of love, the flames get tall
And when I'm angry she's the last resort to call

And suddenly my seer is on my side
Bringing love while forgetting his pride
In his eyes I see there'll be better times along my way

Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear

Why is it called illusion fields
When love builds only grief
All your agony and pain stays the same
Till you see

That destination shows you legends long extinct
Rumours are told about a hero kind and skilled
I'm burning at love's stake and that's the end I feel

But suddenly my seer is on my side
Bringing love while forgetting his pride
In his eyes I see there'll be better times along my way

As he longs to speak to me
I realise the reflection while listening
His words mend on my wounds cause he's me
My seer lives inside of me

When suddenly my seer is on my side
Bringing love while forgetting his pride
In his eyes I see there'll be better times along my way

Nothing to fear
My seer is here
There's nothing to fear
My seer is here
My seer is here


2. LOST NORTHEN STAR

Legend says that when grief overpowers happiness
the northern star loses its light and falls down on earth
where thee become a man.
One person alone can help.
I'm the one who leaves shadows in you room at night:
I'm the reason you're listening enlightening you eyes.
When Pan meets Apollo down with the sin
they will send tears of angels though kindness won't win.

Lost northern star
Buried in sorrow, I'll guard your mind.
Let demons howl outside.

Where the calm fields of snow become one with the sky
I am there; I am waiting as time passes by
I set up the weather to suit how you feel
Drop rain down with wishes, build grace out of steel

Lost northern star
Buried in sorrow, I'll guard your mind.
Let demons howl outside.

My soul burns.

Sending dream flakes your way.
painting pictures to help you each day.
Yet you don't know I'm there.

Lost northern star
Buried in sorrow, I'll guard your mind.
Let demons howl outside.
My soul burns.


3. THE REIGN

I see the waves of sand
Big free
Another land
Dreams within dreams
You are alive
They gave me their wings
I spread them wide

I'll move on
to another place
from my memories
unmade
I'll hold on
and my heart will find you there
love will shine free
Forever

Sun flames
And moons glow
Timeless the tides will flow
What will I face what will be mine
Fortune and fate
The other side


4. DIE ALIVE

Open up the night
Led by just a feeling
All around is light
Everything is healing

No more fate and no more mystery
Even as time falls away I live my days
Every moment and its memory
Not only to survive to die alive

Overwhelming love
Heaven's just a feeling
Singing in my blood
Keeping me from kneeling

No more fate and no more mystery
Even as time falls away I live my days
Every moment and its memory
Not only to survive to die alive

Die alive

No more fate and no more mystery
Even as time falls away I live my days
Every moment and its memory
Not only to survive to die alive


5. BOY AND THE GHOST

The streets are empty
Inside it's warm
His hands are shaking
They locked the door

A voice is calling
Asking to get in

All he wanted was a toy
All he needed was a gentle heart
To lead him through the dark
When his dreams are running wild

Boy and the ghost
Fire's not burning
The lights went out
The lights went out

Big family dinner
The untold pain
Their eyes are sparkling on his frozen face
Angel's calling, asking to get in

All he wanted was a toy
All he needed was a gentle heart
To lead him through the dark
When there's nowhere left to fall

Boy and the ghost
His eyes are burning
The lights went out
The dream is on

Wake up, wake up :
There's an angel in the snow
Look up, look up :
It's a frightened dead boy
With so much hate, such bad dreams
He could have seen
The toy's the key, but no one saw, no one saw

All he wanted was a toy
All he needed was a beating heart
To lead him through the dark


6. CALLING GRACE

In the dark,
Captured in his fozen heart
Colours fade into grey.

She tried so hard,
Every word was torn apart.
Shot her down with poison darts.

Her tears made her swim beneath the sea.
She's free.

Calling grace.
She'll never fall again.
Love remains in her.

Softly, her inner voice
has learned to speak
following her dreams.

Her tears made her swim beneath the sea.
She's free.

Calling grace.
She'll never fall again.
Love remains in her.
Calling grace.
She will rise again.
Sacrifice the saints.
Still love remains...

(Instrumental)


8. DAMNED AND DIVINE

I Won't help if you wait for me.
I'm a slave to the dark.
I Know I'm not saint, you see.
The Dawn is when it starts.
Feel the shadow of my oblivion hoping
Mary would show her face
on the road to your own perdition
in the coal-blackened rain.

Frozen in time yearning forbidden wishes.
Damned and divine.
Scars of my broken kisses.
What will follow if tomorrow's blind?
My eternal night.


As the wind takes me away from you before the morning light.
My sins are fading into view I'm so weary deep inside
Feel the shadow of my oblivion hoping Mary would show her face
on the road to your own perdition I may see you again.

Frozen in time yearning forbidden wishes.
Damned and divine.
Scars of my broken kisses.
What will follow if tomorrow's blind?

My eternal night.
Every single dawn I die again


9. YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED THIS

The winter left her blanket
Here this morning
A soft and gentle coverlet of white
Unfolded in the shadows of the dawn
It Sparked in the early morning light
You would have loved this
You would have loved this
This was your favorite time of day
The greenery is laid across the mantle
And ornaments are hanging on the tree
And cradled in the windowsill's a candle
A beacon in the night
to call you back to me
You would have loved this
You always loved this
I know you loved this time of year
And though I understand
One day again I'll see you
I long to touch your hand,
hear your voice, feel you
You would have loved this
You always loved this
Oh, how you loved.


10. OUR GREAT DIVIDE

Dark blue sea, calling me.
Songs of waves, keep me safe.
Sky's so deep, there's no end
the moon still asleep, the bed of stars for me

How can I see through your eyes my destiny?
I fall apart.
You bleed for me.
How can I see through your eyes our worlds collide?
Open your heart, to close our great divide.

Distant prayers, carved in stone.
The silent words they will still be heard.

How can I see through your eyes my destiny?
I fall apart.
You bleed for me.
How can I see through your eyes our worlds collide?
Open your heart, to close our great divide.

How can I see through your eyes my destiny?
I fall apart.
You bleed for me.
So I just float with the tide through the night I pass you by.
Open my heart, to close our great divide.


11. CIARAN'S WELL

Misty cold nights
You'll hear her sigh
And sing bitter
sweet lullabies

For years she prayed
The saints would cast
a spell for the
forest to let her go

She sings...
She dreams...
She prays...

She sings...
she plays...
she stays...

The black old well
Holds ancient tales
And makes all wishes come true
So throw your dream
Into the dark
And Blue will come for you
