Kamelot

"Hey! Woo! Thank you! OK, we're gonna slow it down for a bit now.
This is a song about a girl that might have forgotten me by now.
But I hope we will meet again some time in the future."

A flame within my heart has died
This a song, it's song with no reprise
Today I just don't know why
What we had and what we shared, so divine

Sunrise in Osaka, but I'm cold tonight
The northern lights are shining, and my dreams take flight

Can you remember? Tell me how far I have to go
Can you remember lust in the eastern skies?
Can you remember when you told me sayonara?
Can you remember me? 'Cause I will never say goodbye

A flame within my heart has died
Too far away, it's too far for me to say
I wish I could turn back time
Is there anyone to blame? Show me the way

Sunrise in Osaka, but I'm cold tonight
The northern lights are shining, and my dreams take flight
Memories are forever, and I see your face
Crying in the distance, 'til we fall from grace

Can you remember? Tell me how far I have to go?
Can you remember lust in the eastern skies?
Can you remember when you told me sayonara?
Can you remember me? 'Cause I will never say goodbye

Can you remember? Tell me how far I have to go
Can you remember lust in the eastern skies?
Can you remember when you told me sayonara?
Can you remember me? 'Cause I will never say goodbye

"Thank you."

"All that you see or seem, is but a dream within a dream"
[Edgar Allan Poe]

Move slowly
Beyond the colors of my eyes
Move slowly
Into the corners of my mind
Rising like the Pegasus
Each and every one of us
Released
Islands in the sea of dreams
Always searching harmony
And peace

All we find
Reject our mind
Don't you wonder why

If the war by heavens gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone

Show me sign of paradise
A place we all would like to go to
Tell me what to sacrifice
So there's a chance for me to want you

All I find
Reject my mind
And I wonder why

If the war by heavens gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone

I have a tale to be told won't you listen tonight
Follow me into the core of the fountain of light
Try to imagine that hope is our ship for the soul
(Over the ocean the quest of your life lies ahead)
Maybe together we'll find there's a place for us all
(Follow the star in your mind, sail along sail along)

Winter's close and the mountain high
I'll start my journey now
On this planet we call Earth we belong
I want to know
Why did god make me feel there is more to be answered
Maybe god cannot remedy our souls if he tried

I seek peace of mind at least and to know I did my best
I will pray for those I have loved

I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey

I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
Lead me an ocean away

No one holds the only truth in his hands
So who am I
To defy even god in quest for a reason
There's no time to waste I'm afraid

I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey

I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
Lead me an ocean away
So far away

When the tide is high
I won't dwell or wait no longer

There's no time to waste I'm afraid

I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey
(I must take your farewell)

I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
(Ooh)

I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey
(Bound to obey)

I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
Lead me an ocean away

Sleepless
Not really quite awake
Where the soul conforms
To deeper needs
Free within frames of custody
I revolve my spirit and exhale

On the edge of paradise
Poison burning
In my veins
Unavailing...compromised
My dreams remain the same

Soothing but yet so violent
In this world within the other world
Moonlight...in visions...heaven sent
I see demon eyes and wings unfurled

On the edge of paradise
Poison burning
In my veins
Unavailing...compromised
My dreams remain the same

On the edge of paradise
Powerless
I sail on by
Undermining life itself
My will to wonder why

I recall one summer's night
Within the month of June
Flowers in mahogany hair
And smell of earth in bloom
Only such a melody
Comes without a sound
More than faintly heard by those
Who know what they have found
Now it's just a memory

Silently we wander
Into this void of consequence
My shade will always haunt her
But she will be
My guiding light

Silently we wander
In search of truth and confidence
So many hopes were lost here
Along the way
From morning to night

Meet me by the wishing well
In cover of the moon
Whisper to me tenderly
That I will see you soon
Sing that song from long ago
So I remember you
Flowers in mahogany hair
And mellow days in June
Only for the memory

Silently we wander
Into this void of consequence
My shade will always haunt her
But she will be
My guiding light

Silently we wander
In search of truth and confidence
So many hopes were lost here
Along the way
From morning to night

From ashes we were born
In silence we unite

Silently we wander
Into this void of consequence
My shade will always haunt her
But she will be
My guiding light

Silently we wander
In search of truth and confidence
So many hopes were lost here
Along the way
From morning to night

Silently we wander
Into this void of consequence
My shade will always haunt her
But she will be
My guiding light

Silently we wander
In search of truth and confidence
So many hopes were lost here
Along the way

Mephisto:
Speak my friend
You look surprised
I thought you knew
I'd come disguised
On angel wings... in white
I can make
Your dreams come true
What a couple...
Me and you
On journey through the night

I will show you everything so vividly
You can't deny me

Bathed in moonlight
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
Will be mine the day you die

Name a pleasure
One... a few
Any form
Of lust in you
Will tremble at my touch
I come down from heaven's light
I have all the perfect alibis
There's so much...

I will show you everything so vividly
You won't deny me

Bathed in moonlight
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
Will be mine the day you die

Call my name or carry on
Till that last resistance gone
I'm sure we'll meet again

I'm your true disciple
When the flesh desires
You won't deny me

Bathed in moonlight
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
will be mine the day you die

Bathed in moonlight
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
will be mine the day you die

Take your time...

[Mephisto]
Everyone is here
The feast can soon begin
Vanity we celebrate
My favourite of sins

[Ariel]
Chandeliers so grand
That heaven sees the shine
And my friend declares
Everything I look at could be mine

It's a miracle
Life till now has been a waste
You have proved to me
By your hand I'm truly graced
Unbelievable
Gold and glitter blinding me
So adorable
All these women from my fantasies

[Mephisto]
Come with me my little ones
Let's revel for the free
Raise your glass and praise the fact
How easy life can be

[Ariel]
In the splendour of the night
I've found company
Once again I feel that life's begun
All the wrongs seem to be right
Drowned in ecstasy
Every star is like a newborn sun

In the splendour of the night
I've found company
Once again I feel that life's begun
All the wrongs seem to be right
Drowned in ecstasy
Every star is like a newborn sun

May the life I knew be gone
I accept the deed
But one point we have to modify
If I wish to linger on
In a state of still
Only then I'm yours the day I die

I am breathless
Need I say
How could you find me here
You, of all have crossed my way
Unexpectedly... from where
I feel like I am dreaming
Hold me close
Tomorrow may be gone

This is a moment
Of belief
This is a moment
Made of dreams
You found me here today
On the coldest winter night
This moment is our right

Now, Helena tell me all
For years we've been apart
Did you hear the mountain fall
...my broken heart
Don't wake me if I'm dreaming
Hush my dear
Because tomorrow may be gone

Lost in the present
I'm sure
This is the moment
Say no more
You found me here today
On the coldest winter night
This moment is our right

This is a moment
Of belief
This is a moment
Made of dreams
You found me here today
On the coldest winter night
This moment is our right

(HELENA:)
I remember a song
From long ago
Some of the pieces
They remind me of you
How could I know
You were to leave me
I thought that I was that melody
Oh so wrong
I'm but a whisper tonight

And if this is goodbye
I will leave
But I'll love you
Until the end

(RIVER SPIRIT:)
If the grace of God is real
And the word of Christ can heal
Bring their souls to heaven's light
Bless the unborn child tonight

I just had a dream
She was by the riverside
Alone and dressed in white
Paling in the cold
Walking on the icy face
On memories of glory days

Carry on
Carry on
Meet me on the other side
Once the mourning after turns to day

Carry on
Carry on
Keep on to the other side
The mourning after slowly fades

How could I have known
Just the thought is simply wild
In her womb...a little child
I am left to roam
On the surface of a dream
In a world that can't be seen

Carry on
Carry on
Meet me on the other side
Once the mourning after turns to day

Carry on
Carry on
Keep on to the other side
The mourning after slowly fades

Carry on
Carry on
Just you carry on
Till the mourning is over

Carry on
Carry on
Just you carry on
Till the mourning after leaves

Carry on
Carry on
Meet me on the other side
Once the mourning after turns to day

Carry on
Carry on
Keep on to the other side
The mourning after slowly fades


Carry on
Carry on
Maybe in another life
Once the mourning after turns to day


Carry on
Carry on
Cross the water, cross the tide
The mourning after...

(Mephisto:)
When you play with fire
You must anticipate some burns
Chasing for desire...
It's just a different way to learn

(Ariel:)
I am defected from God
(God had seized my soul)
So low redemptions too far
(I am heaven's sheen)
She's the one that I loved
(Love is all around)
And she tore me apart
(The dark can never win)

(Mephisto:)
All that I require
Is some trust as the pages turn
I can take you higher
Cause your will is my concern

(Ariel:)
I am defected from God
(God had seized my soul)
So low redemptions too far
(I am heaven's sheen)
She's the one that I loved
(Love is all around)
And she tore me apart
(The dark can never win)

So long, maybe forever
I must carry on

Why did God take away
That one thing I wanted
Maybe God is the melody
We all serenade

(Mephisto:)
You would not feel sadness
If you never tasted joy
That's the curse of humans
Born in passion you destroy

(Ariel:)
I am defected from God
(God had seized my soul)
So low redemptions too far
(I am heaven's sheen)
She's the one that I loved
(Love is all around)
And she tore me apart
(The dark can never win)

English translation:
Aspirat primo fortuna labori The fortune is smiling at our first effort
Me duce tutus eris Let me lead you and you will be safe
Vox populi vox dei The voice of people, voice of god
Ad maiorem dei gloriam... For bigger glory of the god
Ad infinitum To the infinity

You know just who I am
Don't be so distant
'Cause when you're lost, I am solely there
To share your grief

Wailing your sorrow is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow, you're lonely, I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth

Now tell me all about your pain
Down to the detail
Don't say it's love
Your fragile heart feeds my contempt

Wailing your sorrow is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow, you're lonely, I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth

Chase the heathen call
We belong, you and I
Unison in all you deny

Wailing your sorrow is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow, you're lonely, I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth

I am the thorn in your side that seeks accomplishment
Reminding the mortal of death
I am the spore of your pride, an angel, Heaven-sent
The master of all
I am the urge of the flesh

Rules without exceptions last eternally
Every move you make creates your destiny
I've come to soak my sorrow in halo black
As black as the seal on my soul

(Cause when the lights are down there's no more to say)
Love is the real pain
An internal revolution in our minds
(And when the lights are down you're so far away)
Tell me your real name
In the silence of the darkness we unite

(Rules without exceptions last eternally
Every move you make creates your destiny)
What can protect me from the past
And all the things that I have done
She told me and then she was gone

(But when the lights are down there's no more to say)
Deep in the shadows
Where the last of my delusions made a stand
(Cause when the lights are down she'll take me away)
Tell me her real name
And in death we'll live the love we never had

Come all ye faithful beneath the moon
Into the void as one
Marching on

(Cause when the lights are down there's no more to say)
Love is the real pain
An internal revolution in our minds
(Cause when the lights are down she'll take me away)
Tell me her real name
And in death we'll live the love we never had

Merely the sound of your voice
Made me believe that, that you were her
Just like the river disturbs
My inner peace
Once I believed I could find
Just a trace of her beloved soul
Once I believed she was all
Then she smothered my beliefs

One cold winter's night
I may follow her voice to the river
Leave me for now and forever
Leave what you can

Somewhere in time I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep

I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fuelled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves it comes to an end
Quietly I'll go to sleep

How could that first time recur
When memories linger on and on
What made me think you were her
Helena is dead to all, dead to all

Nothing can bring her to life
Don't pretend that I'll be loving you
Once I believed she was gone
I corrupted from within

Leave, leave me for now and forever
Leave what you can

Somewhere in time I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep

I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fuelled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves it comes to an end
Quietly I'll go to sleep

[ARIEL]
Follow me into the light
[Marguerite]
Like ice on a lake of tears
I'll take you through
[ARIEL]
Leave me tonight
[ARIEL / Marguerite]
I've gone too far to begin all anew / Life fades in
[ARIEL & Marguerite]
With someone like you

Somewhere in time I will find you and love you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep

I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fuelled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves it comes to an end
Quietly I'll go to sleep
Sleep
