1. HEARTBEAT AMPLIFIER

The poet's eyes seem to cry, but his heart
Does his heart do the same?
The jester appears to laugh
But he will never smile within

The sheep they come for me in sleep
As I wander through the fields
Deep into my heart we'll run
Where fool and dreamer are as one

Hearts resound as the sound
Of silence surrounds us

The wolves, they come when I'm awake
Driving the flock apart
The shepherd stands alone again
With the beating of his heart

Hearts resound as the sound
Of silence surrounds us


2. HER LAST FLIGHT

Hello blue sky
I'm back again
It's been such a long time
Since I was here, so lonely years

There she is again, talking to the sky
Laughing as the wind plays with her hair
It seems she isn't here anymore
Yet I see her breath in the mist
Her arms, her heart is open
As she embraces and old friend

Can't you see the rain is coming down to us
Can you see the clouds, they're forming figures just for us
And Alexandria I'm afraid

When I whispered her name she just stared
Looked up, closed her eyes and said
"I not here and never was"

And she flies again
Alexandria...
So far away


3. ON A WAVE

On a wave we'll ride, searching
For an Eden that could be mine
Desire for what's attracting the sea

In oceans our tears collide
It would drown my love
If only my hopes would hold me on this wave

Above the waves we'll fly, knowing
The show's not here to find
With wings on fire by our desire

In love our fears unite
It would give me hope
If only the ocean won't drown me in this wave


4. THE ILLUSIONIST

(Instrumental)


5. PASSAGE TO DESIRE

Once upon my lifetime I'll turn away from your side
A chance to escape the rails I've made before the last station arrives
A time to cry, so much time to cry, little time to say goodbye
But our tears will be our guide in our passage to desire

And the king must fall for his pawns...

What choices have been left for us
When all the bridges burn
Step on my island and you'll see
There's nowhere else to turn

Breathing barely audible
Breath turns to whispers
Whispers turn to words
As tomorrow calls my name
Walking right beside you
Watch as you sleep
Close the window, turn my head
Never looking back again

And the king must fall for his pawns...

Should we envy the stranger
Because no one knows his name
Or should we accept the act
That we'll never know the same?


6. OF PAVILLIONS AND FOUNTAINS

Tender will be the night
Or the day I'll die
A bird's song in the morning
Sooths the raven's cry

The secrets that I hide
Never will see the day
Even the sunlight in the morning
Can't chase the shadows away

Take me to the pavilions
The foundations of our past
In a world made of memories
Nothing seems to last
Obilivion isn't hard to find
The shortest straw was mine

Build me a thousand fountains
And none of them will last
For no one will remember
What they were used for in the past
As quick as the water flows
The memory of me will fade

Out of the shadows, into the sun
No more shelter, I'm too tired to run
Out of the silence, into the sound
Too scared to care I may never be found
