Les paroles


1. DYING STAR

Hidden in the shadows, drifting slowly
In the night sky, the velvet sky
Searching for a purpose, lurking silently
Her every move is her last chance to
Shine over the world, burst into flames
Destruction and light, a duo of pain
Brighter than any star
A blaze that will bur all down!

Where are you hiding?
Lost, frightned and wandering day and night
Right on the edge
Where are you hiding?
Lost, frightened and wandering day and night...
You are the end of my world!

Tha gme is over, the last card, played
She buried all her doubts and fears
Darkness covers every move, every breath
The plot is set, the first spark bursts

How long have you waited to be free
To have more than... just a simple dream?

Die, and you will live again
Fade... 'cause you will shine again
Brighter than before
No fear... just hope!


2. RISE

Breathing once, breathing twice
Hoping for another chance
To prove I'm right and you're wrong
You have to understand
I've had my share of broken dreams
You don't have to make that clear...
I'm falling apart in my silence

Cast away all the fears
Fate is in my own hands
Burn the bridge of deceit
Take another land
"Conquer all, show them all
That you worth much more
Stronger than them...
You will rise above all!"

Cut me up and throw me on the ground
Because I will rise... and you will run for your life
I'll break your bones and cause you pain
There is no escape... once you crossed the line!

Curtains fall... a thousand masks
Each for a different day
Your endless crimes marked my past
But I found my way
Faking strength, faking pride
Ashore at last
Building a false image, locking the past

Eye for eye and tooth for tooth
Listen to me, I speak the truth
The time will come, I'll bring you down
As you did, it's my turn now!


3. AWAY

A spark in the cold winter night...
A thought of escaping and leave all behing
The chains held me here for too long
Shackled and hurt, I will find my way out!

Take me away, far across the oceans
Where hope blooms in the garden of endless peace
Take me away, far from any burden
Leaving all the pain and sorrow
Heading to a new place... a new dawn!

Weightless and trusting I feel... for the first time
An owl whispers a charm of good luck
The dream may come true after all
I'll hold on tight to my thoughts, to my mind!

None of you understand that I don't need a friend,
I'm just a broken soul
Beyond redemption, beyond repair
No healing hand, no smile could fill the emptiness inside
I'm on my own now!


4. DARE

Sadness crawling in my soul
Doubts that make themselves at home...
I gave it all, but it's still wrong
Will I ever deserve more?

Dare to shine, open your eyes wide
There's no fear, there's no pain
In your hopes I will wait
Dare to shine, open your eyes wide
Trust yourself, live your dream
Faith is all that you need

Brick by brick, the walls go down
All the anguish is now gone...
A new horizon built on dreams
Wings of silve with gold seams

Like Icarus I tried to fly
Built my wooden wings and
Dived into the blue sky...
Just to fall again
True wings will grow if you give time
Unbreakable and wide... wide


5. REQUIEM

From beyond I hear...
The voices of forgotten souls
A never-ending circle of fear

The veil's too thin to hold them in
The pain has made them strong,
Their song is heard...
Louder and louder... their choir of undead souls!

The memories flashing before
Their blackened eyes... they must suffer no more...

Requiem aeternam
Done eis domine
Et lux perpetua, luceat eis
Requieascat in pace

Rex tremendae majestatus
Qui salvandos salvas gratis
Sale me, fons pietatis

Oro supplex et acclinis,
Cor contritum quasi cinis,
Gere curam mei finis


6. DIES IRAE

The sunis setting... the dawn of us has come
Dies Irae is here
There's nowhere to run...
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

The sins are heavy, burdening all
Truth will be revealed, there's no place to run
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
The judgment starts its final trial!

Dies irae, dies illa
The day of eternal damnation has come
Dies irae, dies illa
Beware... the wrath of your God!

A million angels...
Darkening the skies
A final prayer for salvation, for the redemption of all souls

Are you ready? The verdict draws near!
The bells are ringing, the answer's there
Is it more than you could bear?


7. THE FALL

I stand alone on the edge
Just waiting for the moment to... fall
Like a broken melody
The pain echoes inside my soul

Should I jump,
Or should I wait to see if I could find another way?
The wounds are deep, the game is lost...
My role was played

I close my eyes and hear
The wind talking to me, it's saying
"Hey, little girl, why don't you
Take a step, and dance with me?"

Falling out of existence
Diving into nothingness...
I'm falling out of life,
Out of all the things that
Tortured my soul and my mind
The suffering is over
The time has come to take the leap... and to be free

The air is cold
Blood rushes throught my veins
I feel I'm burning
The chill of death sends shivers down my spine...
The time has come!

I'm on the edge, I close my eyes again
And take the last breath of air...
Stepping forward, I ride the wind
Approaching to my end!

Falling out of existence
Diving into nothingness...
I'm falling out of life,
Out of all the things that
Tortured my soul and my mind
The suffering is over
The time has come to take the leap... and to be free

Free!
Falling silently...
Falling... falling
Out... of... reach...


8. MAGDALENE

She loved him more than words can tell
Trapped under his spell
She followed live a little lamb
All his dreams and plans
Blinded, deaf and without care
For anything but this...
Strange, forbidden love

Why live a life only for someone else instead of yourself?
Why give up hopes, and let all fade away?

Magdalene, your tears won't bring him back
He's gone, and you are trapped
Living in the shade of your past
Magdalene, he walked off with your heart
The days of love have passed
Leaving you all alone... in the end!

A broken heart can heal with ease
Times goes by, and all that remains is
Just a distant memory
She lives again... she'll love again
After all these years...
She can finally be free!

Magdalene... hear her screams
Hear her cry!

Magdalene, your tears could'nt bring him back
He was gone, and you were trapped
Living in the shade of your past
Magdalene, no love can last for life
You finally realized
That butterflies and shivers... disappear!


9. ABANDONED

1.
I'm gonna tell you a short story
About life, about death... about reality
Would you like to walk a mile in my shoes?
To feel so frightned... and confused

I'm gonna tell you that what's strong never dies
From my own ashes I will rise... and learn to fly
You left, but I don't blame you anymore
Little phoenix... you're on your own!

I'm cold and scared... why have you left me alone?
He took you away from me, he had no right
But you were... not strong enough!

Why have you abandoned me?
I fear I will never be whole again
The pain inside consumed my little
Broken heart, forever torn apart,
There's nothing left, the wounds are gone...
But now I'm dead inside!

2.
First ray of light... my first day
The hurt is now gone, I found out... who I am
She saved me from the hell around
Carefully whispered: it will be alright

I gathered my strength to go on
The dark clouds are gone... I can see some light
Battered and wounded, but sane
Seasons passed me by, but I'll never forget to be

Forever thankful
For your love, for your care,
For your words, my beloved
I owe you all and more
Mother of a broken soul!

3.
Run away, far away, let them drown in their own hate
All the love is now dead
All your games came to an end
Heart of stone, dead and cold
I am finally... reborn!

Run away... far away... let them all meet their fate

4.
Sometimes I wish I could forget
But the scars are still there, reminding me of you
The wheel turned, and now you've changed
But in my soul, the seed of doubt you planted for years still wait to
Grow...

Time always heals the deepest wound
Yet the vivid memories seem to last forever
Where there was hate... it can't be love
Once betrayed, I locked the door but I still hope one day things will
Change...

5.
You stand alone outside my door
Asking for forgiveness
Memories are haunting you... 'cause I'm forever gone

Lost in anger, countles years
I forgave, but can't do more
A stone can't bleed and also... feel anymore

6.
Bye bye, cruel world, I'll be gone... bye bye
The time has come for me... to learn to fly
Bye bye cruel world, I'll be gone... bye bye
The time has come... for you to cry
The story is now over...

Always forgive, but never forget.


10. IN REMEMBRANCE

Sweet memories, a childhoor dream that will never be forgotten
Your care, your love
Were the only thing that mattered...
Until you were taken away
I miss to see your smile...
Forever, you are gone!

Why have you left me without a word?
Just the silence... the heartbraking silence
Boudn to you I am, 'cause I know I was your world
How could a tree grow strong without...
Without your caring hands?
The memory remains, the love's still here
And it will be forever.

The day were calm,
I remember your voice that taught me to trust myself
Now, who could guid me? Those days are long gone
'Cause someone thought your life must end
We cannot change our fate...

Willow tree that cries a river of tears... under its wounded roots
I'll always remember you... your trust, your love
And this will be forever


11. WAY HOME

Walking by the desert hills
Burning feelings of emptiness... and fears
Searching for a place of peace
Feeling so helpless

Silvery rivers, flowing and whispering
Far away, counting endless days
Stopping, listening, looking for safety
Longing... for silnece

Oh, how I wait for my return,
It's been so long, I can hardly remember...

Where the sky shines and where the wind blows
Far from the place that I call... home
From the mountain high
To the deep sea
Searching my place of sanity

Way home...

Climbing through the snowy passage
Crystalline ice, finding the message
Closer and closer... to the sparkling sky
Endless tale

The autumn leaves of endless sorrow
Had stopped their cascading fall
The tears are dried out...
Approaching to the dream!
Could thi be...real?

The peace inside this longing soul...
Invading and warm return
Joyful music!

Where the sky shines, and where the wind blows
Reaching the place that I call... home
From the mountain high, to the deep sea
Finding my place of sanity...

Warming snow and talking silence
Reaching beyond the dream
Shining darkness, joyful sorrow...
Found the eternal peace
