When the moonchild is crying

And silence has broken

The darkest truth

The things she remembered

Had never been her own

Replicant or human

I know the way to show

What do I see

What will I find

Know the answer inside

It's your last step

Ref.:

Time what is time

I wish I knew how to tell You why

It hurts to know

Aren't we machines

Time what is time

Unlock the door

And see the truth

Then time is time again

Whispering

These dreams were never mine

It's cold inside

It's gone forever

The things he saw

Who can say what's wrong or right

The vision of a free life

His eyes had seen it all

For what

He's asking

The vision, vision, vision

I know it's all a lie

I'll remember his past life

And I'll remember time

What did I see

What have I done

God I knew the answers

When he felt so tired

Ref.:

Time what is time

Come lock the door don't let me in

I am the one Your destiny

Time what is time

Reality - It hurts me so

When time is time again

(Solo)

Look into my eyes

Feel the fear just for a while

I'm a replicant and I love to live

Is it all over now

Only these years

I'll leave but I'm singing

Ref.:

Time what is time

He saw it clearly it's too late

It does not heal but it lets us forget

Time what is time

We'll never know

So don't take care

Then time is time again

Should I forget

The way I feel

God he knows how long I tried

Feel there is no reason to cry

I live my life

In fortune dreams forever

Many songs I've written

About the things I saw

My inner soul's a wasteland

I can't run away from here

Try to find them

All the lost thoughts in my mind

I woke up on a hill

So many times before

Yesterday seems like a dream no more

Frozen memories laughing

They don't let me find the truth

Am I born to be a king

Or a jester of the fools

Ref.:

You're the mystical old bard

on your journey through the dark

Mystical old bard

Your journey through the dark

I can't remember my name

I never knew how to find my home

I can't remember my name

come tell me where will it end

I'm the chosen one

To perform all these things

But not for me

In illusions and reality

I'm on my journey through the dark

I'm on my journey through the dark

Ref.

(Solo)

I can't remember

Will I ever find myself

The distance is growing

My hope has gone away

A flash of light but nothing changes

When will it end

Which part of me remains

Soon I'll be back

On my ferryboat of tales

Where oblivion reigns

It will take all of me

Ref.

I am lost in the black chamber

There's no way to turn back

It takes me down forevermore

And death would be so sweet

I'm possessed by the old creature

Who had planned all

To take my soul

Too late for me

In my hands

It liest I thought

But I failed

Now he's in me

My soul is lost

In his black chamber

I'm gone

The giant's lost

And all round him

Destructed for what

They all knew what it meant

But they couldn't change it

Lord they had gone too far

Leave them alone

It's all gone

What is left behind

On a desert we called earth

When the last whale went away

Did they ever see the tears

Don't fear Your last step

From the theatre of pain

And the children will love Your singing

From the sea

The sea is calling

Now we've to leave it

The sea was clear

On the day I was stranded

Answers I'd known

To keep this all alive

But I can't change it

Forever

(Solo)

Now I'm gone

And it seems that life had never existed

So we left the dark and cold

All I left behind are my tears

Don't fear Your last step

From the theatre of pain

And the children will love Your singing

From the sea

The sea is calling

I hear them calling

By the ruins he stands

And he's waiting for me

To enter Tanelorn

His paths seems strange

But they're always planned

Seldom he succeeds

About his own fate

He tries to conquer it

Again and again

But at last he's almost

A ruined man

Not a king or God

Who's searching for

A place called Tanelorn

Far beyond your dreams

Ref.:

On our quest for Tanelorn

We lose our way

On our quest for Tanelorn

He's waiting

He's waiting for me

He's waiting

He's waiting for me

[Spiritus sanctus - vita aeterna]

Darkness falling down on me

Darkness - The eternal battle rises

I know the answers

Although they don't exist

I'm just a mortal illusion

Ref.

(Solo)

So I'm his companion

Through space and through time

His eternal servant

He's calling me

So I must leave

To any life

To another world

Far beyond Your dreams

To know the truth

Just for a while

He's longing for a place

Where he can find himself

Deliverance

It could be everywhere

How can he find

He's waiting for me

And for Your Tanelorn

Ref.:

On our quest for Tanelorn

We lose our way

On our quest for Tanelorn

We lose our way

On our quest for Tanelorn

We lose our way

On our quest for Tanelorn

We're left alone

Taste the poison

Feel that this is life

Hallowed be the game

Of life and innocence

God's waiting for him

Join us at the road to fate

There are no two paths

Feel the pain

Which steps into his life

Agony

He'll be crucified

Death awaits

Knocking at his door

Agony

Leave him

The clock will strike the end

Hell or heaven

Reflect and fade away

Ref.:

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

The life clock strikes and You obey

Like a candle light that fades

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

When the life clock strikes You will obey

Time isn't here to stay

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

the life clock strikes and You obey

A light shows the right way

Morning is whispering in my head

Too late to say goodbye

Too late

The last breath's done

Deliverance at all

he's born to find this end

I am the one

The one who's calling

Obey my call to the cemetary

And don't be afraid

To step into the dark

Be sure that my voice

will take You home

Ref.:

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

The life clock strikes and You obey

Like a candle light that fades

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

When the life clock strikes You will obey

Time isn't here to stay

(Solo)

No hope he'd waited so long

This can't be God's will

He surrendered long ago

There was no real chance

Ashes to ashes and dust will be dust

Ashes to ashes, you all will be dust again

The clock had struck the end

Up to heaven

Reflexions fade away

Ref. (1st)

Taste the poison

Feel that this is life

Hallowed be the game

Now You all know

The bards and their songs

When hours have gone by

I'll close my eyes

In a world far away

We may meet again

But now hear my song

About the dawn of the night

Let's sing the bards' song

Ref.:

Tomorrow will take us away

Far from home

Noone will ever know our names

But the bards' songs will remain

Tomorrow will take it away

The fear of today

It will be gone

Due to our magic songs

There's only one song

Left in my mind

Tales of a brave man

Who lived far from here

Now the bard songs are over

And it's time to leave

Noone should ask You for the name

Of the one

Who tells the story

Ref.:

Tomorrow will take us away

Far from home

Noone will ever know our names

But the bards' songs will remain

Tomorrow all will be known

And You're not alone

So don't be afraid

In the dark and cold

'Cause the bards' songs will remain

They all will remain

In my thoughts and in my dreams

They're always in my mind

These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men

And elves

Come close Your eyes

You can see them, too

Out in the distance

There's so much gold

The treasure that I've found

Is more than enough

Far to be the hill we've to go

Over the mountain and seas

To the old hill

Where the old dragon sleeps

Blind in the dark dungeon's night

So God please take me away from here

And Gollum shows the way right out

(Solo)

I'm alive

The dying dragon brought trouble and pain

And horror to the halls of stone

I'll take the mighty stone

And leave the dwarves behind

Ice and fire and forest we passed

And horror in the halls of stone

Trolls in the dark

The dawn took them all

Caught in the wood

By the wooden kings' men

But now I'm alone

'Cause I've made up my mind

By the spell of gold

The king under the mountain

Will risk the great war

Oh what a fool

He's losing control

So I am trying to find a way

Blind in the dark dungeon's night

Then darkness comes from the northern side

And Thorin clears his mind

I came from far

Beyond Your reality

The ocean of time

It's the odysee of mine

I am the narrator

And now I'll tell You

Where I've been

And what I saw

And how it ends

Welcome to the wasteland

In a world which is turning faster

Where I'm alone for a while

It's turning faster

Away from light straight to the dark

The march of time it has begun

I'm caught in an ancient dream so bright

And then the march of time begins

The man in black he waits

Behind this last task

It's full of pain

To sacrifice the only son

The legions of the lost

Wait in the old mine

They try to stop me

The battle it has begun

So I'm not afraid

To walk down to the wasteland

I'm so alone on my way

And I don't fear that dusty godforsaken path

Somewhere far beyond

Ref.:

Somewhere far beyond

The march of time it has begun

Somewhere far beyond your reality

And then the march of time begins

Look at my soul

And behind

There are some things

I've to hide from You

I'm following the black man

I'm losing control

And I don't care

What's happening to the boy

Welcome to the new world

One more step to the dark tower

And my whole body's in flames

I'm looking for Those healing things to be prepared

The march of time it has begun

I'm caught in a prisoner's dirty life

And then the march of time begins

The prisoner did bring the healing spell

The queen of shadows found herself in pain

And death brings answers to us all

What will I find

When the dark tower appears

Will it be the end

Or just a new quest after all

I am the narrator

And now I'll tell You

Where I'd been

And what I saw

And how it ends

(Solo)

Ref. (2x)

Look around and see

The world is turning fast

Faster day by day

Somewhere far beyond

I'll try to change it

If I can - Somewhere far beyond

There's only one chance

And it lies - Somewhere far beyond

Somewhere far beyond

The march of time it has begun

The march of time it has begun

Queen

Sammy was low,

just watching the show,

over and over again.

He knew it was time,

he'd made up his mind,

to leave his dead life behind.

His boss said to him

boy, you'd better begin

to get those crazy notions

right out of your head

Sammy who do you think that you are?

You should have been sweeping,

at the emerald bar.

spread your wings and fly away,

fly away, far away.

Spread your little wings and fly away

fly away, far away.

Pull yourself together,

'cause you know you should do better,

that's because you're a free man.

He spends his evenings alone,

in his hotelroom.

Keeping his thoughts to himself,

he'd be leaving soon.

Wishing he was miles and miles away,

nothing in this world, nothing,

would make him stay.

Since he was small,

had no luck at all,

nothing came easy to him.

Now it was time,

he'd made up his mind,

this could be my last change

His boss said to him

now listen boy, you're always dreaming,

you got no real ambition,

you won't get worried for.

Sammy, boy don't you know who you are?

why can't you be happy,

at the emerald bar?

(So honey) spread you wings and fly away,

fly away, far away.

spread your little wings and fly away,

fly away, far away.

pull yourself together,

'cause you know you should do better,

that's because your a free man.

come on honey (fly with me)...

In 1945 the year it came to be

Their fate decided

many miles accross the sea

They told them not to fear

they couldn't be prepaired.

Then came the day

that not a single soul was spared.

Too late there's no escape

The Trial has begun

Down they fly

From out of the sky

Feel the radiation burn !

The men of power

had nothing to fear.

When the finger hits the switch

they're far away from here.

Down in their sanctuary

hidding in their lair.

The sorcerers of justice

will be waiting for them there.

Too late there's no escape

The Trial has begun

Down they fly

From out of the sky

Feel the radiation burn !

I saw the people running

through all my dreams.

I heard the soldiers crying,

Mother Nature screams.

I saw destruction falling

from out of the sky.

I heard the Wise Man calling .... WHY ???????
