1. The Witness

Kyrie, kyrie eleison.
Kyrie, kyrie eleison.
Kyrie eleison.
Kyrie eleison.

I had a dream last night,
The same old dream I've had every night since I was a child:
There's a little girl lost in the middle of an immense battlefield.
There is fire and rage everywhere.
She has a sword and a feather in her hands.

Close your eyes, don't leave me here alone.
Do you hear the angels crying?
Helpless they're waiting for me in the dark.

Come with me, there's no way out.
I cannot escape the rage and the fire.
I'm lost with a sword and a feather in my hands.

I shall be the silent witness in the dark.
The time has come, I can see Death walking all around.

Now tell me why I'm here with a feather in my hand.
Tell me why I'm here with a sword in my hand.
I'm cold inside, I am just a little girl in a game I don't understand.
Don't leave me here alone.

Now look at these men in shining uniforms,
Carrying their guns like a scepter of joy and glory.
They fall with fear and madness in their eyes.

Deep inside your heart, deep inside your mind,
There is blood on this blade, there is blood on your face.
Deep inside your heart, deep inside your mind,
There is fear in your eyes, there is blood in your hands.
Deep inside your heart, deep inside your soul,
There is war outside and you don't even know why.
There is no way out, there's nowhere to hide,
Now's the time for you to get on your knees and pray.

Look at them, there's madness in their eyes
And fear on their face, the fear for losing their lives.
Randomly they shoot in the dark,
Surrounded by the tears, the cries and the fire
While I'm lost with a sword and a feather in my hands.

I shall be the silent witness in the dark.
On the brink of tears, I can see death walking all around.

Now look at the suffering, listen to the cries:
Too late for you to open their eyes!
The core of the problem in their natures lies:
There's war in their hearts, they don't even know why!

Now tell me why I'm here with a feather in my hand.
Tell me why I'm here with a sword in my hand.
O Mothers, how long will you have to cry
With your children dying in your arms?

2. The Train

There are shadows around me
And a void inside my mind.
There's a black sky through the window
And no star to guide me through the night.

I am sitting in this howling train
And we're diving in the dark,
And my own voice won't be heard
When I try to ask where it is leading us all.

Is there someone around here?
Tell me, are these souls alive
Or only faint ghosts of an ancient past?
Tell me, am I just another one?

O please, someone now tell me
Are we all just the same?
Are we just all lost here in this train,
In a tunnel with no end?

My heart is strong,
Much stronger than theirs.
Can't you hear it?
My heart is strong,
Much stronger than theirs.

I am running through this crowed train,
Trying to find reason and rhyme.
No, I won't give up tonight.
No, I won't let my life slip through my fingers.

Can you hear a distant call in the night?
It just awakened all my senses.
It's my own voice celebrating
All the gods, the devils, the spirits I've been denying.

Is there someone around here?
Tell me, are these souls alive
Or only faint ghosts of an ancient past?
Tell me, am I just another one?

O please, someone now tell me
Are we all just the same?
Are we just all lost here in this train,
In a tunnel with no end?

My heart is strong,
Much stronger than theirs.
Can't you hear it?
My heart is strong,
Much stronger than theirs.

Give me back the light of the sky.
Give me back the warmth of my heart.
Wake me up from this nightmare.

In the cold I will rise,
I will draw tears from your eyes.
Myself, myself, will shiver and thrive.
Myself, myself, slyly warped in the mist of the night

Not now, it's too early!
Don't tell me I already reached my destination!
I want to stay here! I want to stay here!

Gloria, gloria in Excelsis Deo!
Gloria, gloria in Excelsis Deo!
Gloria, gloria in Excelsis Deo!
Gloria, gloria in Excelsis Deo!

3. Everlasting Child

You left me in and endless garden
With blossoming flowers and the wind
Singing through the leaves
And the trees and the branches.

You gave me my heart,
You gave me my senses,
The laughter, the joy and the love.

I turned them to black,
I turned myself to darkness.

I am your blood,
I am your flesh, your spirit,
Your everlasting child.
God, why have you left me here?
Why did you turn your back on me?

I saw through lies,
I learned to read between the lines.
I reached the other side of the sea,
I touched the moon, the starts,
The skies and the mystery of life.

You gave us a life
Growing up in my belly,
My heart and my soul.
Now don't pretend he's yours!

I am your blood,
I am your flesh, your spirit,
Your everlasting child.
God, why have you left me here?
Why did you turn your back on me?

You gave us a child
Growing up in my belly,
Growing up in my heart and my soul.
He's forever mine and I am his
Till the end of time.

I am your blood,
I am your flesh, your spirit,
Your everlasting child.
God, why have you left me here?
Why did you turn your back on me?

I am your blood,
I am your flesh, your spirit,
Your everlasting child.
God, why have you left me here?
Why did you turn your back on me?

4. The Power And The Glory

I've seen the wonders of this world,
I've heard the music, the choirs
That even angels could not even have thought of,
Born in the soul and the tears and the essence of our lives,
Destined to be forgotten when the time has come.

Haven't you seen these men
Waging war on their brothers?
Haven't you seen these men
Dying for the glory and the power?

It's much too late
To hear the prophet's cry in our heart.
It's much too late
To prove that we were right from the start.
It's much too late
To save what we've been fighting for.

We feed the hope of our lives
With the same old ephemeral quests
And glorious dreams and ordinary lies.
Now tell me, what are your glory and your power worth
When a child is dreaming in your arms?

I've seen so many people landing their hand to me,
Trying to help as much as they can the child that I used to be.
How can it be that someone dies under our eyes
While we move on pretending to be blind,
Living in our own paradise?

How can it be that people are dying right under our eyes?
Haven't you seen these men dying so far away from our heart?

It's much too late
To hear the prophet's cry in our heart.
It's much too late
To prove that we were right from the start.
It's much too late
To save what we've been fighting for,
What we've all been fighting for.

We feed the hope of our lives
With the same old ephemeral quests
And glorious dreams and ordinary lies.

We feed the hope of our lives
With the same old ephemeral quests
And glorious dreams and ordinary lies.
Now tell me, what are your glory and your power worth
When a child is dreaming in your arms?

5. Freedom

Freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom, freedom.
Freedom, freedom.
Can't you hear our call?
Freedom...
Such a hopeless word
Turning in our soul.

Improbable freedom.
The words that are turning in your head,
Are they yours or theirs?
Impossible freedom.
The hope that we buried in our heart
Will survive our soul.

6. Escaping The Ghosts Of Reality

Just saved when you were lost,
Waving the world goodbye.
Just lost when you were saved,
You've got to face their eyes now.

You've got to find a better way,
You've got to hold on and face the devil's eyes.

I've run for so long now
For so many years.
Even remembering my own name
Is so hard to me.
I've run for a thousand years
And I can't even remember
Where I'm heading to.

And though my footprints in the sand
Are now the only proof that I am alive,
Unconsciously I try to leave as many as I can.

Just saved when you were lost.

I'll find a way, I'll find a way
To reach out through the dark.
I'll find a way, I'll find a way,
I'll find a way
To break the silence through the night.

Just saved when you were lost
Inside the maze of your mind.
Just lost when you were saved,
At last finding your way back.

You've got to find another way,
You've got to hold on and thwart the devil's plans.

No one seems to really look into my eyes.
How can they be fooled by my disguise?
It's like a weird theater where I'm surrounded by mannequins.

Every word that I say sounds so meaningless to me.
Every blink that I make has its own purpose.
It's like a huge theater and I am surrounded by mannequins.

Just saved when you were lost,
Don't let the years go by.
Just lost when you were saved,
It's not too late to come back.

You've got to find another way,
You've got to fight and exorcise the pain

I'll find a way, I'll find a way
To reach out through the dark.
I'll find a way, I'll find a way,
I'll find a way
To break the silence through the night.

I'm so alone.
I feel so cold.
I've lost my hope.
I'm so afraid
Of you.
Escaping from the land of my dreams.

Back again in my home,
Far away from the chains
That I'll leave behind:
That's where I want to be.

I am escaping from my ghosts and illusions,
The wind of freedom in my face.
Escaping the ghosts of old friends and enemies.
Wait for me, I'll be there with you!

Escaping the bonds of all my childhood fears.
Wait for me I'll be there with you!

7. Atlantis

I was born too soon, eager to enter the world.
I grew up too fast, I forgot to be a child.

This is a race against time I have to win,
Don't stand in my way tonight.
Whatever the price to pay
I am the runaway, runaway.

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings.
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breath.
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burnt.
I tried to win the race against time but forgot the one I loved.

I was thirsty for freedom, thirsty for love and passion.
I ran away trying to find the answers to riddles torturing my mind.

Appearances and attractive colors
Don't try to deceive my eyes.
Now I need to cut off the strings
That are tying, tying me down!

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings.
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breath.
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burnt.
I tried to win the race against time but forgot the one I loved.

This is your way, this is your life,
This is your voice, this is your choice.
This is your way, this is your life,
This is your voice, this is your choice.
This is your way, this is your life,
This is your voice, this is your choice.
This is your way, this is your life,
This is your voice, this is your choice.
Haven't you heard the deadly sirens call?
Haven't you heard the warning sings at all?
O Mother, please, forgive me!

I can still hear my father, unable to see the light in my eyes.
O Mother, forgive me,
How could I be blind to your own tears?

This is my choice, my fight, my struggle for life,
I will hold on against all the winds.
Whatever the price to pay
I am the runaway, runaway.

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings.
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breath.
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burnt.
I tried to win the race against time but forgot the one I loved.

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings.
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breath.
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burnt.
I tried to win the race against time but forgot the one I loved.

I tried to fly away, to reach Atlantis
(To reach Atlantis).
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burnt.
I tried to win the race against time but forgot the one I loved.

This is a race against time I have to win,
Don't stand in my way tonight.
Whatever the price to pay
I am the runaway, runaway.

8. The Old Man In The Park

Every morning there's an old man in the park
Sitting on the same old wooden bench,
And all the birds are flying around his head,
Singing again and again.

He's gathered all the breadcrumbs he could find
In his bag to throw them all away
To his only friends.

Sometimes I can see there's a tear in his eye
And then I can feel the burden
He's been carrying for so long within his heart.

The old man in the park did not come this morning.
I wonder where he's gone now.
Will I ever see him again?
And now I'm missing him
Like a wise old friend gone without farewell.

And when the rain is falling down in the park
I still can see his shadow through the dark
Proudly standing in the wind.

Sometimes he seems to be smiling at me
Watching over me throughout my life,
And it's been soothing me,
Like the touch of an angel.

The old man in the park did not come this morning.
I wonder where he's gone now.
Will I ever see him again?
And now I'm missing him
Like a wise old friend.

The old man in the park did not come this morning.
I wonder where he's gone now.
Will I ever see him again?
He used to shine so bright
In his daughter's eyes.

The old man in the park was my father,
He died so many years ago
Leaving nothing
But sadness in my heart.
And I'll be mourning him
Until my dying day.

9. The Seeds Of Chaos

We, the people, we've been so proud
Of our cherished freedom.
We, the people, we claim our right
To spoil the riches of this world.
We, the people, we are so sure
Of our convictions
While the Earth is bleeding.

But anger is roaring in Mother Nature's heart,
Chaos is just waiting to spread over the land.
The time has come to reap what has been sown
By humankind.

We, the people, we've been hiding
Behind a wall of lies.
We burn candles
To ease our conscience blind.

Why are you closing your eyes?

Is there a god watching us
Spoiling the beauty of his Earth?
Can you hear him crying?

The Devil's laughters are filling up the skies.
A whirlwind is howling to celebrate the rise
Of Mother Earth's righteous wrath
And the fall of God.

Blood! Anger!
Blood! Anger!
Chaos!

10. Daughter Of The Night – Part I (A Glimpse Of Eternity)

(инструментал)

11. Daughter Of The Night – Part II

Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna.
In die illa tremenda,
Quando coeli movendi sunt et terra,
Tremens factum sum.
Dum discussio venerit atque ventura ira
Ego et timeo.

Dies irae! Dies illa!
Dies irae!
Calamitatis et miseriae!
Dies magna et amara valde!

Take my hand and dance with me.
Let us now defy the shadows that we used to be.
Let us now ignore the turns of fate
Together again.

Tell me about your life, your sorrows.
I want to know your deepest thoughts
And your wildest fantasies.
Now it's time to share your burden
With me tonight.

The spirits of the night are welcoming us.
The spirits of the night are sheltering us
From the crude, cold light,
They will dim the colors of reality.

I'm the Daughter of the Night,
There's no way out of my grasp.
I'm the Daughter of the Night,
Just come and rest in my arms.
Sweet dreams and nightmares are my realm,
Nothing seems impossible
If you give me your hand.

Dies irae! Dies illa!

Shapes and shadows and distant voices,
Way too far from you
To hear your desperate silent call.
Faces you can't even remember
Are just want I want you to see.

It's not a game, there's no prize to fight for,
It's just a choice
And I am of no help in guiding you.
You must cling to a hope
Or join us in the abyss,

Where the spirits of the night are welcoming us.
The spirits of the night are sheltering us
From the crude cold light.
They will dim the colors of reality.

I'm the Daughter of the Night,
There's no way out of my grasp.
I'm the Daughter of the Night,
Just come and rest in my arms.
Sweet dreams and nightmares are my realm,
Nothing seems impossible
If you give me your hand.

I'm the Daughter of the Night,
Sweet dreams and nightmares are mine.
I'm the Daughter of the Night
And I'm holding you in my hand.
I'm the Daughter of the Night,
The sweetest confessor you will ever find.
Now tell me about your pain,
Your sorrows, your life
Before I read them myself from your eyes.

12. On The Wings Of Time

Never look into the mirror
Unless you're ready to face the crude reality:
Just close your eyes and let it be.

Years are lingering across my cheeks,
The fear of time slowly passing by
Hidden in my eyes.

Tears are falling upon my hands,
As dry as the desert under the burning sun,
The left on my lips, the taste of sorrow and pain.

Time will spread its wings and fly
Like an eagle through the winds.
The tide will wait for me until I'm ready to be free,
To be free (to be free), to be free.

Through your fingers
Time is flowing like a river to the sea,
Just like those tears from your eyes.
Through your fingers
Your life is flowing like a river to the sea,
Just like the lines of your hands.

I can see a young girl that I will not ever be again.
So hard to think that she was me,
So fragile and innocent,
Looking for shelter in the wrong arms,
Breaking the bonds that helped me not to stumble and fall.

Time will spread its wings and fly
Like an eagle through the winds.
The tide will wait for me until I'm ready to be free,
To be free (to be free), to be free.

Through your fingers
Time is flowing like a river to the sea,
Just like those tears from your eyes.

Through your fingers
Your life is flowing like a river to the sea,
Just like the lines of your hands.

Your youth will fade away
Like the echoes of singing bells in the dark.
Your memories will turn as pale
As old photographs loosing this colors
As time passes by.
How long will it last?
Only a fool would say.
Never look into the mirror
And listen to the bells of oblivion.
