I'll be gone by the dawn under a tree You will shout my name, like the current of the sea Because... I'll be gone by the dawn under a tree You will shout my name, like the current of the sea Because... I'll be gone by the dawn under a tree You will shout my name, like the current of the... I'll be gone, under a tree like the current of the sea, I'll be gone Of the sea, I'll be gone by the dawn under a tree You will shout my name, I'll be gone by the dawn under a tree You will shout my name like the sea, Oh, Like the current of the sea

I enter the Witch's hut The clouds have parted ways There must be a cure at least To save a child who's clean Mine own heart's root it is 'Tis our quarter day soon, enough - What to do? Sorry to say, but go thy way, thy way

Hello there dear, don't come home alone tonight I've asked before, please don't get lost, alright? How'd it come to be? I'm only tryin' to see, your side of things So I'll state now: don't you wander around in vain Been a while friend, so why d'you look so down? «Because, you see, we fail if we give up mid-way; But now I know there's something else to learn, while I am still around Listen, can you hear? Shh-» Hey, check the time! Will you be here when I am gone? Tell me, child: Who is there to save you now? After all, I'm only tryin' to help you to smile once more This path has led us astray, So please don't forget me again

Deep in the sea Far away from here There's sirens to see Who call heavenly They sing me stories Of old victories And wishes of deathly, Dainty fantasies I dearly wish to just flee where no one could live And I would be free Outside, the plants Will grow and the trees But deep in the sea That's where I will be Take me there, will you? There, I leave all my worries Close to my heart All in good time

Lost in the maze I'm wandering 'round in circles, Looking for a way out of This misty evergreen land of lies and muse «It's but a little further, It's just a little...» Can't help but feeling All the eyes surroundin' Who question, Then pressure: «One day you will see it was worth the battle» Truly? Shallow waters reflecting what you have dreamed of... If there is anything left of me to plead for, will you take it, even if 's been broken? There is always a price to pay Once the day is done, What will be yours? For every choice I made, couldn't there be a last time? Isn't there a way out? 'M sure I've seen it before: a dirty path and along the road Thorns and spikes growing on the sides Oh, why should I be the one to feel shame whence it came? there is nothing to hide but pain and pride at the cost of time Can I go back? Can I go back? I want to I can't take it Please, let me go Back home now

Where're you heading, Knight? To the lonely castle. Is it very far The lonely castle? There's a dragon in the way Keeping my princess at bay, But the King I must to obey So this beast I'm bound to slay! If you wish, do come along For there's plenty treasures there: More than i could ever bare, More than one could ever share... So, where're you headed, ma'am? To the dragon mountain. Must you risk your life In the dragon mountain? There's a dragon in the way Keeping your princess at bay And there's something i must do And that's something i can say; I do wish to go along, More than treasures and old gold I need a scarlet scale And another life i may save «A sad place to venture to The Knight and She followed suit; Three days then the journey took The fellowship almost broke, But the red dragon was slayed And the lonely princess saved The quest did not end in fray And she went along her way that day»

Look outside Look at how the sun is Shining through the tree Branches and seeps in Let it bathe your skin Let it light your path In the darkest hour Wander freely, Dance by the fire, And swig the last hopes Till it be morrow And the skies will golden White petals in the wind Flow like the water in the stream And so spring shall come And good morrow we'll sing Like a spell, Uncovered if needed be, There is in every corner A secret to tell What is it they could not say for themselves? In a time when no one wishes To hear The words I bear

Gone Soul 04:34
The Sun is coming out And the fog is lifting The air around town Appears softly whispering (ooh) I wish to go back home To a place I've been before The one I can't go to Though my heart stays at the door (ooh) The Chapel calls with bells And I know the lie has died Like moving under spells Along with the end of a tide (ooh) «The King they're fighting for Does not have a head at all! He swings his sword And breaks down homes To live and tell some more» One may try to pass by But shall always follow suit On death's path is indeed Where we will all meet too So then she ran, Ran far and wide Looking for missing pieces Of a lost ghost She thought she knew (ooh) «Take my heart, Have it wrapped, Served on a silver platter» But to no avail It was far too late now She did not take heed And must suffer the deed (ooh) So I came back To where i once thought of as mine Now there are no traces Left to hold on to «The one you're looking for Can't be found here anymore; That's why frail, young souls Shouldn't go beyond the shore» That's what the Witch had said Long before I tried anything «Now, let go of misery And shan't feel remorse nor pain» As I opened my eyes I was back at home «Since when?» Apart of stories and fairy tales I'd never see him again.
