"The Archive Of Lost Dreams"

"The Archive Of Lost Dreams"

Far from the light to reach beneath a veil of mist
Countless stories were left to rest in peace
Darkened and calm
The grave uncared
Once a haven filled with hope
The archive of lost dreams
We send our inner fears for the ocean to score
Waiting it takes them all away from the shore
Deepest beliefs from billions of souls
Longing for our wishes to find a way back home
Aah...Naiad
The last one in the unknown
The keeper of our written dreams
Aah...Promises
None of them were left behind
She blessed them with her kiss
See.
Hear and feel
The miracle of life
Believe the signs and trust you'll stay alive
Descend to find the depth of your heart
Mysterious Naiad
Now the circle's closed forever
Aah...Naiad
The archive is gone
We are on our own

"Crimson Deep"

"Crimson Deep"

Sometimes I see the pulse
numb I feel,
so unreal.
Blood on my lips I taste the heavy lead.
What can I find behind the mirror?
I'll never know.
Who's the reflection within?

Should I frame for you the other world?

Another world?
I've heard the voices of Elysium.
The scent of a sudden wish,
never there, everywhere.
Read me the space in-between.

Come to me
I cried
I need you.
I am seeking
the gates unfold inside
my lost soul
in the dark.

Far beneath my breath
I'm burning
at my core.
Show me how
let me see beyond
I will find
my Crimson Deep.

Sharp is the edge of all discovery,
now I see.
A scar without suffering, impossible.
I'll wait until my last day
with no shame.
Who's to blame?
Shaping the signs left for me.

Come to me
I cried
I need you.
I am seeking
the gates unfold inside
my lost soul
in the dark.

Far beneath my breath
I'm burning
at my core.
Show me how
let me see beyond
I will find
my crimson deep

Come to me
I cried
I need you.
I am seeking
the gates unfold inside
my lost soul
in the dark.

Come to me
I cried
I need you.
I am seeking
the gates unfold inside
my lost soul
in the dark.

"Montañas De Silencio"

"Montañas De Silencio"
Vuela tan alto
Como puedas
Nadie debajo
Nadie está detrás
Siempre comienza
Cuando estás sólo

Amor
Temor

Siente y encuéntrate en la soledad

Viento

Tú y nadie más

[English translation:]

Fly as high
As you can.
Nobody below,
Nobody is behind.
It always begins
when you are alone.

Love, fear,

feel and find yourself in loneliness.

Yours and no one's else.

"We Are"

"We Are"

How cold is the heart
My world is on fire
How deep is the mark
When you leave and your dream turn to water
I let myself feel
I'm wishing for something real

We are
We are
Chasing a shadow
We are
We are
Lost in the shame
You try to hide only to reach out
It's too late

With a smile you move on
Every fear left unspoken
There was hope
Now it's gone
So believe there is love in the open
You just have to let go and turn into something real

We are
We are
Chasing a shadow
We are
We are
Lost in the shame
You try to hide only to reach out
It's too late

Break the shade
See your hate
Black flames
No names
Who are you?
Janette said.

We are
We are
Chasing a shadow
We are
We are
Lost in the shame
You try to hide only to reach out
It's too late

"Naiad"

"Naiad"

She hears the distant soft caress
there in the gloom.
Colors surround with tenderness
guiding her through.

In the forgotten sweet abyss
another sound
twilight floating memories
always without.

Gloaming
there above the surface
an illusion
reaching down for me.

What lies beneath
beyond the ocean s door
tranquil is the kiss
of the azure rising deep
sleeping ever more
Naiad s mystery
what lies beneath.

Guarding their immorality
saints in the sand.
Stranger than beautiful eerie
an ancient land

Circle of sixteen turned to stone
and still they keep
shimmering crystal promises
one space between.

Gloaming there above the surface, an illusion reaching down for me.

What lies beneath beyond the ocean's door
Tranquil is the kiss of the azure rising deep, sleeping ever more
Naiad's mystery what lies beneath beyond the ocean's door
Tranquil is the kiss of the azure rising deep, sleeping ever more
Naiad's mystery what lies beneath.

Aah...

Breathing the newborn waves.
Kneeling for the sea she became.

"Still Of The Night"
(originally by Whitesnake)

"Still Of The Night"
(originally by Whitesnake)
In the still of the night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the still of the night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more

In the shadow of night
I see the full moon rise
Telling me what's in store
My heart start aching
My body starts shaking
An' I can't take no more

Now I just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
An' I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat

In the still of the night
In the still of the night

In the heat of the day
I hang my head down low
An' hide my face from the sun
Through the light of the day
Until the evening time
I'm waiting for the night to come

In the still of the night
In the cool moonlight
I feel my heart is aching
In the still of the night

In the still of the night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the still of the night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more

Now I just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
An' I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat

In the still of the night

"If You Believe"

"If You Believe"

Drifting... words without meaning
Twisting... through the dark concealing
Search again, your reflection lives within.

Shades of the labyrinth
The path lies ahead

If you believe
Truth her name is honesty
Let her shine through your darkest temptation
Hidden deep
In sincerity
With your painted smile
So revealing
Tarnished yet there’s no fear in me
Feeding the flower that dies
Is a ray of light
Is a ray of light

Roaming... colours they were sleeping
Senses... they are never-ending
Find again the beauty in the suffering

Shades of labyrinth
The path lies ahead

If you believe
Truth her name is honesty
Let her shine through your darkest temptation
Hidden deep
In sincerity
With your painted smile
So revealing
Tarnished yet there’s no fear in me
Feeding the flower that dies
Is a ray of light
Is a ray of light

"The Crying Moon"

"The Crying Moon"
Take all your black arrows
They can not harm no more
Take all your black arrows
They can not harm no more
Fantasies locked up
In your dungeon
Take all your black arrows
They can not harm no more

The universe is watching her
An evil curse lies on her heart
A chariot, pulled by crows
Trying to tear her hope apart.
Confined in sin

[Chorus:]
I can hear the moon is crying
As it spells out your name
(spells out your name)
All the stars are up there sighing
Saying you come back again

Behind the darkest lullaby
They kept their wishes hidden well
The moon had tied a secret bond
Where they could be one again
Confined in sin

[Chorus]

Love, stronger than hatred,
Stronger than anyone
Her heart is gone
Take all your black arrows
They can not harm no more

Take all your black arrows
They can not harm no more

"Victim Of Ritual"

"Victim Of Ritual"

Black Eyes and hardly breathing
When there's no light
You sacrifice
Alone amongst the living
You lost the fight before the fall

How did you end up in hell?

Hysterical, tragical
Victim of Ritual
Cynical, critical
Victim of ritual
She's a killer, killer
She's a killer, killer

Cold eyes for every sin
They tried to hide in thin disguise
Denied your soul from singing
Her darkest night, the night you died

How did you end up in hell?

Hysterical, tragical
Victim of Ritual
Cynical, critical
Victim of ritual
She's a killer, killer
She's a killer, killer

Pandemonium, where's your heart from?
Pandemonium, where's your heart from?

"500 Letters"

"500 Letters"

500 letters from a stranger at my door
500 letters, words like scars no one can see

It felt so innocent, a childish game
lines of poetry without a name
waves of paranoia washed upon the page
and soon obsession turned to rage

why do you love me?
why do you want to hurt me?

500 letters from a stranger at my door
500 weapons I can't take it anymore
500 letters, words like scars no one can see
500 secrets, slowly killing me

At the mercy of a violent hand
drawing images in my head
I can't escape the way I feel inside
in every shadow just a breath behind

why do you love me?
why do you want to hurt me?

They found the final letter lying by his side
A smile was on his face, cold as ice
One last message written only for me
Now you won't forget
"I'll see you in your dreams"
