Album Lyrics
1. Prologue
(Instrumental)
“All that you see or seem,
is but a dream without a dream…”
-Edgar Allan Poe
2. Center of the Universe
Ariel:
Move slowly beyond
the colors of my eyes,
move slowly into the
corners of my mind.
Rising like the Pegasus,
each and everyone 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 Heaven’s 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 Heaven’s 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.
Helena & Ariel:
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.
Ariel:
If the war by Heaven’s 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.
3. Farewell
Ariel:
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 no 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 hand,
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!
Trails of discovery
lead me an ocean away.
4. Interlude I (Opiate Soul)
Dolcissimae, Oh Fortuna, Venit Meos…
5. The Edge of Paradise
Ariel:
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.
Dolcissimae, Oh Fortuna, Venit Meos…
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.
6. Wander
Ariel:
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.
7. Interlude II (Omen)
(Instrumental)
8. Descent of the Archangel
Mephisto:
I’m proclaimed by angels cry!
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 a 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 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.
Call my name or carry on
until 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.
9. Interlude III (At the Banquet)
Ariel:
His invitation was clear,
I shut my eyes and now I’m here.
Master of Ceremonies:
Please make way,
our host is making his entree!
10. A Feast for the Vain
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.
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.
11. On the Coldest Winter Night
Ariel:
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,
the 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 assure.
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…
12. Lost & Damned
Ariel:
Helena you came to me
when seemingly life had begun.
Little did I know then
where this would go,
when this begun.
Once I was free to fly,
I never promised anything.
This may well be goodbye!
Don’t ask why, don’t be sad,
sometimes we all must
alter paths we planned.
Only try to understand,
I try to save you from
the lost and damned.
Although you hold me close
I feel retention arise.
Just as a hint of fear,
like subtle clouds
In summer skies.
Once in the moonlight
I can’t explain.
And I don’t know,
somehow we may reunite.
Don’t ask why, don’t be sad,
sometimes we all must
alter paths we planned.
Don’t forget what we had,
but let me save you
from the lost and damned.
Love means nothing to me
if there is a higher place to be!
Helena don’t you cry!
Believe me, I do this for you.
Heed my decision now,
I will be gone tomorrow noon.
My tale has just begun,
nothing can take my faith away
in my quest for the sun.
Don’t ask why, don’t be sad,
sometimes we all must
alter paths we planned.
Only try to understand,
I try to save you from
the lost and damned.
Don’t ask why, don’t be sad,
sometimes we all must
alter paths we planned.
Leave me behind, don’t look back,
because deep within you know
I’m lost and damned.
13. Helena’s Theme
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.
14. Interlude IV (Dawn)
Town Crier:
Hear ye, hear ye!
The Lady Helena has committed a sin.
Now death lies on her, like an
untimely frost upon the sweetest
flower of all the field…
15. The Mourning After (Carry On)
Ariel:
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
until the mourning is over.
Carry on, carry on,
just you carry on
until 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.
16. III Ways to Epica
Mephisto:
When you play with fire
you must anticipate some burns.
Chasing for desire is just
a different way to learn.
Ariel:
I am defected from God,
so low redemptions too far!
She’s the one that I loved
and she tore me apart!
Helena:
God had seized my soul,
I am Heaven’s sheen.
Love is all around,
the dark can never win.
Mephisto:
All that I require
is some trust as the pages turn.
I can take you higher,
because your will is my concern.
Ariel:
I am defected from God,
so low redemptions too far!
She’s the one that I loved
and she tore me apart!
Helena:
God had seized my soul,
I am Heaven’s sheen.
Love is all around,
the dark can never win.
Ariel:
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,
so low redemptions too far!
She’s the one that I loved
and she tore me apart!
Helena:
God had seized my soul,
I am Heaven’s sheen.
Love is all around,
the dark can never win.
