OUVERTURE
JILLIAN (I'D GIVE MY HEART)
I've been dreaming for so long,
to find a meaning to understand.
The secret of life,
why am I here to try again?
Will I always, will you always
see the truth when it stares
you in the face?
Will I ever, will I never free myself
by breaking these chains?
I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back, it's my fault.
Your destiny is forlorn,
have to live till it's undone.
I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back and then at last
I'll be on my way.
I've been living for so long,
many seasons have passed me by.
I've seen kingdoms through ages
rise and fall, I've seen it all.
I've seen the horror,
I've seen the wonders
happening just in front of my eyes.
Will I ever, will I never free
myself by making it right?
I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back, it's my fault.
Your destiny is forlorn,
have to live till it's undone.
I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back and then at last
I'll be on my way.
Jillian our dream ended long ago.
All our stories and all our glory
I held so dear.
We won't be together
for ever and ever, no more tears.
I'll always be here until the end.
Jillian, no more tears
Jillian...
I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back, it's my fault.
Your destiny is forlorn,
have to live till it's undone.
I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back and then at last
I'll be on my way.
THE HOWLING
We've been seeing what you wanted,
Got us cornered right now
Falling asleep from our vanity
May cost us our lives
I hear them getting closer
Their howls are sending chills down my spine
And time is running out now,
They're coming down the hills from behind
When we start killing
It's all coming down right now
From the nightmare we've created
I want to be awakened somehow
(Wanna be awakened right now)
When we start killing
It all will be falling down
From the hell that we're in
All we are is fading away
When we start killing
We've been searching on and on
But there's no trace to be found
It's like they all have just vanished
But I know they're around
I feel them getting closer
Their howls are sending chills down my spine
And time is running out now
They're coming down the hills from behind
When we start killing
It's all coming down right now
From the nightmare we've created
I want to be awakened somehow
(Wanna be awakened right now)
When we start killing
It all will be falling down
From the hell that we're in
All we are is fading away
When we start killing
When we start killing!
I feel them getting closer
Their howls are sending chills down my spine
And time is running out now,
They're coming down the hills from behind
The sun is rising
The screams have gone
Too many have fallen
Few still stand tall
Is this the ending
Of what we've begun?
Will we remember
What we've done wrong?
When we start killing
It's all coming down right now
From the nightmare we've created
I want to be awakened somehow
(Wanna be awakened right now)
When we start killing
It all will be falling down
From the hell that we're in
All we are is fading away
When we start killing
When we start killing
When we start killing!
STAND MY GROUND
I can see
when you stay low nothing happens
Does it feel right?
Late at night
things I thought I'd put behind me
haunt my mind
I just know there's no escape now
once it's set its eyes on you
but I won't run, have to stare it in the eye
Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I gotta face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand My Ground
It's all around
getting stronger, coming closer
into my world
I can feel
that it's time for me to face it
can I take it?
Though this might just be the ending
of the life I held so dear
but I won't run, there's no turning back from here
Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I gotta face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand My Ground
All I know for sure is I'm trying
I will always stand my ground
Stand my ground, I won't give in (I won't give in)
I won't give up (I won't give up)
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I gotta face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand My Ground.
THE CROSS
Nothings ever changed,
you still turn away
Youve washed your hands,
youve made that all too clear
You just keep on living this lie
You refuse to see, youre denying me
the cross I bear but you
dont seem to care
Even Judas knew he had lied
I keep wondering why
Im still calling your name
through my tears
Why have you waited to
embrace me my dear?
Cold is your silence,
denying what is real
Im still wondering why
Im still calling your name my dear
Im sorry if you cant stand
the naked truth
All you see is how you want it to be
So you keep on living your life
Release me from this cross after
all these years
Oh call my name and help me
with this weight
Even though it comes far too late
I keep wondering why
Im still calling your name
through my tears
Why have you waited to
embrace me my dear
Cold is your silence,
denying what is real
Im still wondering why
Im still calling your name
and I wonder, oh I wonder ...
In my heart I still hope you
will open the door
You can purify it all, answer my call
Why? Why?
Why have you waited to
embrace me my dear?
Cold is your silence,
denying what is real
Im still wondering why
Im still calling your name
and I wonder, oh I wonder ...
In my heart I still hope
you will open the door
You can purify it all, answer my call
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to
Wish that I had other choices
than to harm the one I love
What have you done now!
I know Id better stop trying
You know that theres no denying
I wont show mercy on you now
I know, should stop believing
I know, theres no retrieving
Its over now, what have you done?
What have you done now!
I , Ive been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away ...oh
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
Theres a curse between us,
between me and you
What have you done!
What have you done!
What have you done now!
Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to?
Cause you have turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate that I dont feel
Its over now
What have you done?
What have you done now!
I , Ive been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away...
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
Theres a curse between us,
between me and you
What have you done!
What have you done!
What have you done now!
What have you done!
What have you done!
I will not fall, wont let it go
We will be free when it ends
I, Ive been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away ...
Why, why does fate make us suffer
Theres a curse between us, between me and you
I, Ive been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away ...
Why, why does fate make us suffer
Theres a curse between us, between me and you
HAND OF SORROW
The child without a name grew up to be the hand
To watch you, to shield you, or kill on demand
The choice he'd made he could not comprehend
His blood a grim secret they had to commend
He's torn between his honor and the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied
So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind
So many years have passed, who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?
The curse of his powers tormented his life
Obeying the crown was a sinister crime
His soul was tortured by love and by pain
He surely would flee, but the oath made him stay
He's torn between his honor and the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied
So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind
So many years have passed, who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?
Please forgive me for the sorrow
For leaving you in fear
For the dreams we had to silence
That's all they'll ever be
Still I'll be the hand that serves you
Though you'll not see that it is me
So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind
So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?
THE HEART OF EVERYTHING
For the pain and the sorrow
caused by my mistakes
When we're back to immortal
humans are to blame
Now I know I will make it
there will be a time
We'll get back our freedom
they can't fake what's inside
I'll face it
cause it's the heart of everything
Open up your eyes
save yourself from fading away now
Don't let it go
Open up your eyes
see what you've become, don't sacrifice
it's truely heart of everything
Open up your eyes
Stay with me, now I'll face it
by the solemn hour
very soon i'll embrace you
On the other side
hear the crowd in the distance
screaming out my faith
Now the voice's are fading
I can feel no more pain
I'll face it
cause it's the heart of everything
open up your eyes
save yourself, from fading away now
don't let it go
open up your eyes
see what you've become, don't sacrifice
it's truly heart of everything
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
save yourself, from fading away now
don't let it go
Open up your eyes
see what you've become, don't sacrifice
it's truly heart of everything
FORGIVEN
Couldn't save you from the start
Love you so it hurts my soul
Can you forgive me for trying again
Your silence makes me hold my breath
All the time has passed you by
Ooh, for so long I've tried to
Shield you from the world
Ooh, you couldn't face the
Freedom on your own
Here I am left in silence
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that stands forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that stands forgiven
Watch the clouds drifting away
Still the sun can't warm my face
I know it was destined to go wrong
You were looking for the great escape
To chase your demons away
Ooh, for so long I've tried to
Shield you from the world
Ooh, you couldn't face the
Freedom on your own
Here I am left in silence
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that stands forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that stands forgiven
Oh it's been so long since you've gone
Why not me before you
Why does fate decieve me
Everything's happened so wrong
Why did you leave me in silence
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that stands forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that stands forgiven
SOMEWHERE
(with Anneke van Giersbergen)
Lost in the darkness,
hoping for a sign
Instead there is only silence,
Can't you hear my screams?
Never stop hoping,
Need to know where you are
But one thing's for sure,
You're always in my heart
I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever
has happened,
The truth will free my soul
Lost in the darkness,
try to find your way home
I want to embrace you and
never let you go
Almost hope you're in heaven
so no one can hurt your soul
Living in agony 'cause I just do not know
Where you are
I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever's happened,
The truth will free my soul
Wherever you are,
I won't stop searching
Whatever it takes me to go
I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever's happened,
The truth will free my soul
THE SWAN SONG
Winter Has Come For Me, Can't Carry On
The Chains To My Life Are Strong But Soon They'll Be gone
I'll Spread My Wings One More Time
Is It A Dream?
All The Ones I Have Loved Calling Out My Name
The Sun Warms My Face
All The Days Of My Life, I See Them Passing Me By
In My Heart I know I Can Let Go
In The End I Will Find Some Peace Inside
New Wings Are Growing Tonight
Is It A Dream?
All The Ones I Have Loved Calling Out My Name
The Sun Warms My Face
All The Days Of My Life, I See Them Passing Me By
As I Am Soaring I'm One With The Wind
I Am Longing To See You Again, It's Been So Long
We Will Be Together Again
Is It A Dream?
All The Ones I Have Loved Calling Out My Name
The Sun Warms My Face
All The Days Of My Life, I See Them Passing Me By
MEMORIES
In this world you tried,
Not leaving me alone behind.
There's no other way,
I pray to the gods let him stay.
The memories ease the pain inside,
And now I know why.
All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments,
Imagining you here.
All of my memories keep you near,
In silent whispers, silent tears
Made me promise I'd try,
To find my way back in this life.
Hope there is a way,
To give me a sign you're okay.
The memories ease the pain inside,
And now I know why.
All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments,
Imagining you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
In silent whispers, silent tears.
Together in all these memories,
I see your smile.
All of the memories I hold dear.
Darling you know I'll love you,
Til the end of time.
All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments,
Imagining you here.
All of my memories keep you near,
In silent whispers, silent tears.
All of my memories...
OUR SOLEMN HOUR
Sanctus, espiritus
Redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus, espiritus
Insanity is all around us
Sanctus, espiritus
In my darkest hours
I could not forsee
That the time could turn so fast to this degree
Can't believe my eyes
How can you be so blind
Is the heart of stone no empathy inside
Time keeps on slipping away and we haven't learned
So in the end now what have we gained?
Sanctus, espiritus
Redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus, espiritus
Insanity is all around us
Sanctus, espiritus
Is this what we deserved can we break free
From chains of never-ending agony
Are they themselves to blame
The misery the pain
Didn't we let go
Allowed it let grow
If we can't restrain the beast which dwells inside
It will find it's ways
Somehow somwhere in time
Will we remember all of the suffering
Cause if we fail
It will be in vain
Sanctus, espiritus
Redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus, espiritus
Insanity is all around us
Sanctus, espiritus
Is this what we deserved can we break free
From chains of never-ending agony
Sanctus, espiritus
Sanctus, espiritus
Sanctus, espiritus
Redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus, espiritus
Insanity is all around us
Sanctus, espiritus
Is this what we deserved can we break free
From chains of never-ending agony
Sanctus, espiritus
Redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus, espiritus
Insanity is all around us
Sanctus, espiritus
Is this what we deserved can we break free
From chains of never-ending agony
THE OTHER HALF (OF ME)
Over the hills lies a new beginning
Over the hills
Over the hills there is a way I know it
Over the hills
You can't brighten at the gloom
-Your heart is afraid and so empty
You glorify the future
-Living in a different world than me
This journey ends in death
-You are giving up so easily
You are the other half of me
Over the hills
Over the hills
Over the hills
Over the hills
We are drifting apart
- Chilled to the marrow 'cause you don't want to go
We've got a different wish at heart
- The Amulet guides us to other side
When I go down, it's you who'll bleed
- I'm not scared to die, as long as I'm with you
You are the other half of me
Over the hills lies a new beginning
Over the hills
Over the hills there is a way I know it
Over the hills
The hills
FROZEN
I can't feel my senses
I just feel the cold
All colours seem to fade away
I can't reach my soul
I would stop running
If I knew there was a chance
It tears me apart to sacrifice it all
But I'm forced to let go
Tell me I'm frozen
But what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons
I did it for you
When lies turn into truth
I sacrifice for you
You say that I am frozen
But what can I do?
I can feel your sorrow
(I sacrifice)
You won't forgive me
But I know you'll be alright
It tears me apart that you will never know
But I have to let go
Tell me I'm frozen
But what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons
I did it for you
When lies turn into truth
I sacrifice for you
You say that I am frozen
But what can I do?
Everything will slip away
Shattered pieces will remain
When memories fade into emptiness
Only time will tell its tale
If it all has been in vain
I can't feel my senses
I just feel the cold
Frozen
But what can I do?
Frozen
Tell me I'm frozen
But what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons
I did it for you
When lies turn into truth
I sacrifice for you
You say that I am frozen
Frozen
THE PROMISE
On behalf of her love
She no longer sleeps
Life had no longer meaning
Nothing to make her stay
She sold her soul away
I held you tight to me
You slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed, I believed
After the night he died
I wept my tears until they dried
But the pain stayed the same
I didn't want him to die all in vain
I made a promise to revenge his soul in time
I'll make them bleed down at my feet
I held you tight to me
But you slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed
Sometimes I wonder
Could I have known about their true intentions?
As the pain stayed the same
I'm going to haunt them down all the way
I made a promise to revenge his soul in time
One by one they were surprised
I held you tight to me
But you slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed
I held you tight to me
But you slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed
ANGELS
Sparkling angel I believe
You were my savior in my time of need.
Blinded by faith I couldn't hear
All the whispers, the warnings so clear.
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door.
There's no escape now,
No mercy no more.
No remorse cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they'd turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.
Sparkling angel, I couldn't see
Your dark intentions, your feelings for me.
Fallen angel, tell me why?
What is the reason, the thorn in your eye?
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they'd turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end.
This world may have failed you,
It doesn't give you reason why.
You could have chosen a different path in life.
The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they'd turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end.
MOTHER EARTH
Birds and butterflies
Rivers and mountains she creates
But you'll never know
The next move she'll make
You can try
But it is useless to ask why
Cannot control her
She goes her own way
She rules until the end of time
She gives and she takes
She rules until the end of time
She goes her way
With every breath
And all the choices that we make
We are only passing through on her way
I find my strength
Believing that their soul lives on
Until the end of time
I'll carry them with me
she rules until the end of time
she gives and she takes
she rules until the end of time
she goes her way
Once you will know my dear
You dont have to fear
A new beginning
Always starts at the end
Once you will know my dear
You dont have to fear ...
Until the end of time
Until the end of time
Until the end of time
She goes her way
she rules until the end of time
she gives and she takes
she rules until the end of time
until the end of time
until the end of time
she goes her way.
THE TRUTH BENEATH THE ROSE
Give me strength to face the truth
The doubt within my soul
No longer I can justify
The bloodshed in his name
Is it a sin to seek the truth, the truth beneath the rose?
Pray with me so I will find the gate to Heaven's door
I believed it would justify the means
It had a hold over me
Blinded to see
The cruelty of the beast
Here is the darkest side of me
(Forgive me my sins)
The veil of my dreams
Deceived all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
(Forgive me my sins)
Pray for me 'cause I have lost my faith in holy wars
Is paradise denied to me 'cause I can't take no more?
Has darkness taken over me
Consumed my mortal soul?
All my virtues sacrificed
Can Heaven be so cruel?
I believed it would justify the means
It had a hold over me
(Forgive me my sins)
Blinded to see
The cruelty of the beast
Here is the darkest side of me
(Forgive me my sins)
The veil of my dreams
Deceived all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
(Forgive me my sins)
I'm hoping, I'm praying
I won't get lost between two worlds
For all I've seen,
The truth lies in between
Give me the strength to face the wrong that I have done
Now that I know
The darkest side of me
How can blood be your salvation
And justify the pain
That we have caused throughout the times
Will I learn what's truly sacred
Will I redeem my soul
Will truth set me free
(Forgive me my sins)
Blinded to see
The cruelty of the beast
Here is the darkest side of me
(Forgive me my sins)
The veil of my dreams
Deceived all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
(Forgive me my sins)
DECEIVER OF FOOLS
He feeds on fear
He feeds on pain
He rules again
With growing hate
He will guide
Their faith again
No light in the darkness
Is too small to see
There's always a sparkle of hope
If you just believe
He told the tale so many times
About the dream not meant to be
In a world of the free
Plays with your mind
He'll sell your soul to the grave
Without a hesitation to make
He belongs to the dark
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hopes
Deceiver of fools
He rules again
He feeds on fear
Poisons the truth
To gain their faith
To lead the way
To a world of decay
Rules your heart
He'll sell your soul to the grave
Without a hesitation to make
He belongs to the dark
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hopes
Deceiver of fools
He rules again
Please awake
And see the truth
He can only be
If you believe what he tells you
Remember who you are
What you stand for
And there will always be a way
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hopes
Deceiver of fools
He rules again
In my heart there is a place
In my heart there is a trace
Of a small fire burning
A sheltering ray shines through this night
Although it's small, it's bright
But darkness is lurking
He will sell your soul
To bitterness and cold
Oh fear him
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hopes
Deceiver of fools
Shall he rule again?
ALL I NEED
I'm dying to catch my breath
Oh why don't i ever learn
I've lost all my trust though i've surely tried to
Turn it around
Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace
Don't tear me down
For all i need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear me down
You've opened the door now
Don't let it close
I'm here on the edge again
I wish I could let it go
I know that I'm only one step away
From turning around
Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace
Don't tear me down
For all i need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear it down
What's left of me
Make my heart a better place
I've tried many times but nothing was real
Make it fade away
Don't tear me down
I want to believe that this is for real
Save me from my fear
Don't tear me down
Don't tear me down
For all i need
Make my heart a better place
Don't tear me down
For all i need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something i can believe
Don't tear it down
What's left of me
Make my heart a better place
Make my heart a better place
ICE QUEEN
When leaves have fallen and skies turned to grey
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You'd better hide from her freezing hell
On cold wings she's coming
You'd better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Any day
Come on, just feel it?
Don't you see it?
You'd better believe
When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you're all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You'd better hide before she finds you
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen
Haven't you seen
The ruins of her world
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen
Haven't you seen
The ruins of her world
She covers the Earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of a new day
On cold wings she's coming
You'd better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Any day
Come on you feel it
Don't you see it
You'd better believe
Whenever she is raging
She takes life away
Haven't you seen
Haven't you seen
The ruins of her world
Whenever she is raging
She takes life away
Haven't you seen
Haven't you seen
The ruins of her world
