(Spoken Word) As I walk these familiar streets but one cold winter’s night so often I think to myself whatever happened to an innocent child’s dream? I ask this of myself, of the midnight sky, of the moon, the stars, and the heavens but alas not one single answer comes back to me. They used to say to me when I was just a child you grow up, get what education you should but wish, you marry, have a family, get a steady job to bring them up, you grow old and you die peacefully one night as you sleep and that was it... Growing up that is what I thought life was. So simple so black and white but now I see just how wrong I was and this I spent but each waking hour trying to re-imagine and return to that lost...childhood...dream... Verse 1 Redeem me, lost soul condemned to hell Conceal from me, the shadows of the night Everything I thought I knew But one dream I’d wish come true And I need someone to hold me now Chorus Am I looking for an answer One fairytale a midnight dancer When all I have my heart to hold A symphony of souls Verse 2 Hate me, lest hate oneself you cannot break me Forsake me, I do not dare to dream once more Darkened prayer one angel down A world trying to make me drown Was I just one beautiful young fool Chorus Bridge Fantasy Reality Two different tales to me Sleeping Weeping But the same ideals to me Solo Chorus (Spoken Word) I guess no one explained to me darkness, sickness, inner emotions, inner demons or the awful pain of being forced to say goodbye to a loved one. Who knows? Maybe they were only trying to protect me and yes it is true that every fairytale and story we are told and perhaps later tell to our own children... You remember that beginning, once upon a time... But as every story begins every story must end. Remember the ending ...Happily ever after. Every dream ends but then so does every nightmare Sometimes it’s hard to let the demons go...They held us when no one else would...

Verse 1 One for the torture of his soul Two for the tragedy a story told Forever a prisoner of the past Nightmare hell memories last Chorus Holmfirth kid, won’t say what you did Ride the wind, live in sin Hold the tears, until the end of time And ride the lightning, down the devil’s line Verse 2 Three for a well known melody Four a sick twisted harmony Lost voice of a crying symphony A vision he’s trying not to see Chorus Bridge There was a time when I thought I understood She wouldn’t say because she didn’t think I would I gave them more than I thought I ever could I kept it all inside I thought I should Solo Chorus

Dou Lapriyè 03:54
Verse 1 In a misty distance, where the horizon meets the sky The wind is the fluttering heart, of a soldier born to die Lord I have served my time, so take me to the stars This is not the dream, I have chased so very far Verse 2 Oh darling don’t you weep Over words our kids will never speak If the world should ever be as one Look for my spirit in the shadow of the sun Verse 3 The whistle of silver bullets, the rivers of the tears The dreams turned to nightmares, the freedom turned to fear I wearily look up, with my final breath This is not the world, that I’m dying to protect Verse 4 Can’t you see the mothers crying Can’t you see the children dying Can’t you hear the fathers praying That they’ll fight no more, can’t you hear them saying Verse 5 A contract signed in blood What happened to the love Was it all just empty words A story never heard Bloodshed built in stages A book with missing pages Graveyard growing through the ages Please take me home tonight Solo

Verse 1 In search of glory they strode Away from the homeland that they owed In search of glory none was found Only shadows dancing over snowy mounds They fell asleep their backs were turned And then the snow with blood was churned Through foreign wastelands blasted with ice Entrusted fates to loaded dice Chorus As midnight struck, the screaming started Trapped souls of, the dead departed Death’s cruel servants, had them trapped That tundra’s light, held them rapt Verse 2 Released from flesh the soldiers floated Heavy burden that had controlled them But in the distance shadows wailed And they realised they had failed Bright lights held them rapt On that tundra they were trapped A spectral voice could be heard singing This purgatory is just the beginning Chorus Verse 3 Millennia later when flesh had faded No trace left on that frozen wasteland Massacre of mortals the struggle within No fading screams except on the wind Heart of battle those cries won’t die Souls of lost just left behind For those who bled laid down their lives Forever cursed white mountain side Chorus

Verse 1 I look out, out of my window And I see the gloomy sky Night has not yet fallen But the time has come to fly Out towards the forest and That lantern on the hill Glow between the beauty of trees I feel I must fulfil Chorus Shoot for the stars and you might reach the sky Pray to the gods that the myths never die Search for the dragon and you’ll learn to fly Are you finding that your life’s been a lie Soulless Coldness Verse 2 Finally I reach the forest And the sun is almost gone Running between those trees Realizing that I was a pawn Oath I had taken and I Had sworn beneath the trees I made the forest A tale in the breeze Chorus

Wanderlust 03:20
Verse 1 I long to see the hills of light tonight Homeland is my dream tonight To gaze upon the northern lights And it will be alright To look once more on angel’s wonder light Bewitching smile of the stars tonight To my angel’s wings I’ll hold tight Make everything alright Chorus I long to see a vision that my eyes are not deceived I long to see my horizons and I believe May the black clouds fade away so I might see the sun And satisfy my wander lust may my will be done Verse 2 Flowing rivers and golden sands Clear my head to understand I will walk by hand in hand One angel’s guide to my home land Not a playwrite not an act Sunset golden lights the black Tonight my smiles can’t hold back Angel’s hand to light that black Chorus

Verse 1 Can you cast a vision on the darkness of my soul Through the eye of a needle pictures unfold Painting portraits of dreams running rivers of tears Twisted enchantments princess of fears Chorus Fly To the sky Run To the sun Time Ties that bind Night Midnight star bright Verse 2 A path to the damned a map drawn in blood Lost is the child searching for love Prayer on a wish but one shooting star But once just to wonder who we really are Chorus Verse 3 With her shaking hand last letter she writes Written to be read by last candle’s light She writes of the tale time only forgot As her curtain calls she fades to her thoughts Chorus

(Spoken Word) One night I lay awake was I dreaming? I was none too sure. There was an angel missing from my life thus for me to dream these days was not uncommon. As I sat up slowly turning on the bed side light I picked up the picture I still kept of her and turned it over slowly in my hands but as I did so the glass slipped from the frame and cut into my hand. I felt the blood rush to the surface and for a moment I even relished the pain before I noticed on the back of the photograph itself one hand written word. I’d never seen it before, it simply said...Attic. My heart started to race as my longing for her took over completely I had not been to that attic, the place we had spent many long happy nights together talking, looking at the stars and trading stories, since she had gone but already I was half way there... I turned the key in the lock and gently pushed open the door and I saw it...There on the old table was a burned out candle and one single envelope containing a letter with my name written on the front... The handwriting was her’s and so with shaking hands I began to read her last ever words to me... Chorus Will you hold me if I make a memory And console me if I write a tradgedy Will you smile when I’m where I need to be And show me the way I need to see Verse 1 A letter from heaven’s light When you were but one breath from the end Words that I will read tonight I wish but in my dreams you’ll be here again I cannot carry on This pain is much too strong I see your face and pray that I not wake tonight Chorus Verse 2 I would give my life my dear To free you from your chains of hell As I read your words to me I see your last tears where they once fell I cannot close this door I know our love is so much more I wander every waking moment wishing you were here Chorus

(Spoken Word) The pain was far too real and I didn’t understand why really but I knew I owed it to her to be strong one last time... And so in the pouring rain I stood there as they buried the love of my life... Verse 1 I saw you cry late one night And I’d stay right by your side Until your tears were gone I’d help you hang on It didn’t matter time of night I’d hold you as long as you like Chorus I’d stay by you if you’d want to talk about it I’d lay with you if you’d say nothing at all Why did you have to go The days they pass so slow Now you’re gone Verse 2 I made my mind up long ago Without your love the pain it shows And I miss you now Can you still see me somehow Sometimes I close my eyes at night Think of you and I by candlelight Chorus Bridge I make a promise everynight When I see the bright starlight When I’m called to heaven’s light I’ll hold you tight Once again Solo Chorus (Spoken Word) Until we meet again my love...good night...sleep tight...

(Spoken Word) I tried as hard as I could to console her. After all I was the only friend she had left, maybe thats why she cried so often. But even when she screamed at me to go I always came back to dry her tears Verse 1 Not but one chance for love Regret surrounding us But that’s over now A mirror in your eyes In every tear you cry I see myself Chorus If I could take it all from you The tears the hurt the pain I would And I still believe In visions of peace Forever sleep Verse 2 A struggle to survive And shattered hearts don’t lie But they might guide us home One blood red thin disguise One twisted compromise Please don’t you die Chorus Verse 3 If you ever feel alone And can’t hold on to hope Then hold on to me Sometimes the sweet denial You need to see a smile And I’ll never go Chorus (Spoken Word) I was always caught in two worlds when I was with her, sometimes i understood her sometimes I didn’t but I loved her and so I was always there In the end it wasn’t enough and she had to pass away I tried so hard Now I understand... So with this razor blade my love I will join you ...
