See them talk insistently You don't get a word While you pretend Keep your stance despairingly And lock your world away Here we go Oh yeah (Hide away) Come with me, come with me, oh A carol from the edge of the world resounds Don't be ashamed now as it carries your name In the streets of indifference, they're asleep anyway There be dragons There be magic, there be shadow, there be rain A glimmer in the veil of haze It calls you down the rabbit hole Step in from Amusia Town For how long have they been abusing you You will not believe your eyes Marvel at the other side Hideaway Neath an illusion You believe You're deceived 'Til your eyes will agree: Here be dragons Hideaway Poise in confusion What a night What a show What a diablerie Here be dragons Now you feel like a soul in a plaything A hoop in the street beneath a dowel to beat And you ain't got no choice 'Cause you know you ain't free I know what it's like 'Cause you're just like me Looking around: isolation! Not a woman, not a man Just the scorn of town again Tried to face the sun just like everyone You shared your dreams and promises Come right through the door For you'll pine no more aimlessly Running from the devil you've been taught to know We reach out through your mind Await you inside Hideaway Delve into dreams unknown Make yourself at home There'll be dragons You won't be alone Hideaway Where the wild rose will turn its bloom To the light of the moon Be unheard-of wonder A spell on you Here be dragons Be astoundment and wonder It's a world over yonder Here be not known Here be souls that abide you Here be tender just like you, oh Here be dragons Here be magic Here be just you and I There'll be confusion When astounding illusion And the straight old world pother Flow into one another In the Moonflower Garden You see logic unpardoned Here you're freak Dare it! To be! The crazy and lonely And you're turning the key You've been tucking away When they told you to hand Everything to allay your dreams Your longing on your way She felt that she's just a boy like others Nestled in a cozy small-town life Kept it up until she'd leave for good When she ceased to try You could never really see his burden Who would tell just by an off-beat stance? You would ask, but you'd await that moment Missed the final chance He'd meander down an old-town pavement On a lonely bleak October night Why would anybody pour their poison Without keen insight? She saw the world through eyes of innocent simplicity A pristine soul dragged in a dark world play Thereafter never spoke a word no more But eyes revealed why she'd float away Here be a world you hold inside Here be rebirth, here be unwind Here be unknown, or likes of you Here be the wharf, the ship of fools Afraid you might wake up there Estranged, out of your mind And you won't even know what's left behind Hideaway Neath an illusion You believe You're deceived 'Til your eyes will agree: Here be dragons Hideaway Gape in confusion What a night What a show What a diablerie (Here be dragons) Hideaway Neath an illusion You believe You're deceived 'Til your eyes will agree: Here be dragons Hideaway Gape in confusion What a night What a show What a diablerie Here be dragons (Here be dragons)

Twilight caresses the moorlands A breeze kisses the heath and the pines awake Branches dance They whisper and creak Skeletal shadows Eternities lying in wait For mortals they'll take No man nor beast would fear just a whim of illusions But how tell nothing is there when it's not unveiled Alone, this place: alive Abandoned by angels A cordon of grim silhouettes Watching the gateway Way too profound to conceit Crack in the now! When did I fall from grace? Frightful yet astounding: a fairy play? Crack in the now! How could I fall from grace? Gloom that houses beauty Twilight on the moor Afraid to remember, yet scared of the brume Swallowing instant and afterglow It beggars belief, bearing tangible proof The magic arresting A twist in what you ought to know Astonishing show No man nor beast would fear just a whim of illusions But how tell something is not when it's not unveiled Alone, this place: alive Abandoned by angels A cordon of grim silhouettes Watching the gateway Way too profound to conceit A crack in the now! When did I fall from grace? Frightful yet astounding: a fairy play? Crack in the now! How could I fall from grace? A gloom that houses beauty Twilight on the moor Crack in the now! When did I fall from grace? Frightful yet astounding: a fairy play? Crack in the now! How could I fall from grace? A gloom that houses beauty Twilight on the moor

My old master knows his game Demonstrating feats insane Decapitation of your senses - in dim light You may wonder, you may faint Witness magic in a frame In this world you see all fences dislimn tonight Like a dream, into the fire Wanna scream, but gaze in awe You chalk it up as a nightmare It's just a show, albeit a dire One too real to not be right Oh, what do you see? Out of the dark, see them guises fly As they twine around your soul And reach inside Out of the dark, we seize your mind In this luminate phantasmagoria Madness lurking in between What you've known and what you'll see It's apparently profane It's the abyss you stare into Till it's staring back at you I'm the terror you can't name My parade is running deep Come to plague you when you sleep And you will say I'm a nightmare Then you'll slowly disappear From over there to over here You are welcome, anytime! Out of the dark, see them guises fly As they twine around your soul And reach inside Out of the dark, we seize your mind In this luminate phantasmagoria You're in for a thrill In this theatre of dreams Just open your eyes Blood-curdling chills From what you will see The dark will arise To take you away Out of the dark, see them guises fly As they twine around your soul And reach inside Out of the dark, we seize your mind In this luminate phantasmagoria

The sun on the wane On this side of the dawn A thousand join the trail without ado In search of their place They came from afar Await the night to rain its soothing gloom You walk the streets and you pray And you don't understand What's this about? They say the dream is over Been next in line for a lot that was not in your hands Your head is bowed They say that it's all over Lonely in a crowd of dreams Strangled by reality You stride Wait for someone Bring on the night Laying over the world Bring the stars to shine We are the others We're taking flight From a world that has thrown us away to here We are the others Oh An ethereal hum from a sheltering sky In the midnight blue, the clamour's slowly fading See them darken the door Weighed down and shy Run from a world that's always been evading Those heeding the melody Celestial rhapsody We keep the night light burning Bring on the night Laying over the world Bring the stars to shine We are the others We're taking flight From a world that has thrown us away to here We are the others Oh Yeah Bring on the night Laying over the world Bring the stars to shine We are the others We're taking flight From a world that has thrown us away to here We are the others Bring on the night Laying over the world Bring the stars to shine We are the others We're taking flight From a world that has thrown us away to here We are the others Oh yeah

Oh yeah... Oh you've never felt this way before Never thought you'd be that overcome with What is slowly taking hold of you Oh arousal, heat and fire There's excitement you would never feel In the rut they call the way things go A wind-up toy they won't release It will go perpetually until it's broke When days are cold and lonely And you feel like the only one Divining the sound in the air We're calling for you We're gonna turn on the night Red is the moon Strange captivation Lucifugous sensation Unleash the kraken Unleash the kraken A promise: knightly accolades Contenders falling one by one A trophy in a no-win game? Now the sky is spilling fire Lightning strikes, I am thunderbolt, the mercury I am the tentacle divinely ordained Time and again, for way too long you've been in misery We'll make you whole again When days are cold and lonely And you are the one and only Divining the sound in the air We're calling for you We're gonna turn on the night Red is the moon Strange captivation Lucifugous sensation Unleash the kraken Oh yeah... When days are cold and lonely And you feel like the only one Divining the sound in the air We're calling for you We're gonna turn on the night Red is the moon Strange captivation We are calling for you We're gonna turn on the night Red is the moon Strange captivation Omnifugous sensation Unleash the kraken

You feel a draught crawl up the cliff From a frayed sea of haze You look down at the waves As they dance and devour the stones Pastures in emerald as you're turning around Swaying leaves in the wind Hear it whisper your name And the dreams and the chains and the woe Been born down too long In a wheel you must turn You blink, you breathe, you wake, you feel There in the distance a spire is dividing the night Calling you into the dawn light Carried by spectres: A shape! What a show! What a sight! Calling you into the dawn light They say no mortal has ever returned From the realms in the mist From across over there If it's true, will you care in your place? You - you may find the answer To denial of return You may trade in your mind Lose your senses inside And the chains You've tried to make sense in a place you don't understand You're done, you breathe, you shout, you're free There in the distance a spire is dividing the night Calling you into the dawn light Carried by spectres a shape: Avalon! What a sight! Calling you into the dawn light Oh there on the waves It's only one decision away Forth to the isle in the mist where no man's ever been Oh yeah... There in the distance a spire is dividing the night Calling you into the dawn light Carried by spectres a shape! What a show! What a sight! Calling you into the dawn light There in the distance a spire is dividing the night Calling you into the dawn light Carried by spectres a shape: Avalon! What a sight! Calling you into the dawn light Oh there on the waves It's only one decision away Forth to the isle in the mist where no man's ever been Calling you into the dawn light

A strangeness in this chamber I set foot in on my own I hear the stillness whisper That I am not alone The dark is gently stroking Over keepsakes in a dream I wonder if sometimes I've done you, silence, proud of me There's a star that always guides me Reason has it's burned away But still I see it flare my way Beacon me on through the pain Everybody's here until the end Till the end of something that cannot cease I can feel you watching over me on through the end Till the end of something that cannot cease I believe, oh All I know is you're without an end If growing up is showing I'm insusceptible to hurt I'm afraid the growing bit's what I'm doomed to advert And yet I'm gonna stand to waft the light of you And care for those I'm trusted with the way you'll always do I will light another candle You're the flame to never die I'll lead us through another night Through the dark, into the light Everybody's here until the end Till the end of something that cannot cease I can feel you watching over me on through the end Till the end of something that cannot cease, I believe, oh All I know is you're without an end The circle stays unbroken though it moans When we don't know where we're supposed to go You're the storm to shake me up You're the roll to wake me from bad dreams The guiding theme It fades away The end of an act, not the end of the play And when the song is sung and I Take my bow in a fading light Anybody here until the end? Until the end of always Oh, everybody's here until the end Till the end of something that cannot cease I can feel you Watching over me on through the end Till the end of something That cannot cease, I believe, oh All I know is you're without an end Everybody's here until the end Till the end of something that cannot cease I can feel you Watching over me on through the end Till the end of something That cannot cease, I believe, oh All I know is you're without an end A strangeness in this chamber I set foot in on my own Somehow I know that I am not alone

It's 9 PM on the tenth of October The deadline approaching I'm drinking a bottle of wine, maybe two It haunts me again: demand!

Here I stand at the banks where the river of time feeds the sea Oh, I delve into the vault Of my mind, a memory When a heart full of trust had not yet waned to a weak Paling crescent in the sky Pouring down its fading beam I stand here all alone I came here on my own To light the inner blaze Against the wind, against the grain Open visor - arrows rain I'm me and I do it my way Don't you tell me what to be Through my eyes you cannot see I'm me and I'm going my way Against the wind I'm going my way I've been out for the grail they contest with hubris and hate I've seen scarily faceless things Where they scream, but never hear Scraggy fingers they scratch over maps with all kingdoms displayed The enticer never sleeps Breathing doubt into your ear I stand here all alone I came here on my own And you will not take hold on my creed Against the wind, against the grain Open visor - arrows rain I'm me and I do it my way Don't you tell me what to be Through my eyes you cannot see I am me and I do it my way Against the wind I'm going my way Against the wind, against the grain Open visor - arrows rain I'm me and I do it my way Don't you tell me what to be Through my eyes you cannot see I am me and I'm going my way Against the wind I'm going my way

Is it a trial of paradise? Is Anna a witch or do they stick to an error? What's the book and the seal inside? Am I a cleric or maybe a sinner? Unbeliever? Renegade? Was it the devil who led me to "seven"? Oh redeemer is it all too late? Oh what have I done? I have been led by the smelling one Lucifer, fallen light Tell me stranger, what have I done? Oh what's going on? Yeah -We should bring salvation Not give in to his temptation - no!

Another star has fallen without a sound Another spark has burned out in the cold Another door to barrens standing open And who is there to tell me not to give and not to go How could I know? how could I know? That I'll get lost in space to roam forever How could I know? how could I see? feeling like lost in space to roam forever I'm crawling down The doorway to the badlands And kicking down Are you heard: it's to the black and all the damage fading in the oblivion mirror When the demons are calling me, they’re dragging me away How could I know?, how could I know? That I'll get lost in space to roam forever How could I know?, how could I see? feeling like lost in space to roam forever Lost in space lost in time Lost in space Lost in Time Lost in Space How could I know, how could I know How could I know, How could I know That I'll get lost in space to roam for ever How could I now, how could I see feeling like lost in space to roam forever Forever...

Hey redeemer Now what's become on me taken in by promise awakening in grief Collecting us like puppets you instrumentalize A frigid trepidation in a million puppet eyes God gave his word just to let us down Where is he now? You ve been facing heaven You were lost to left alone You re welcome to my home and Found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land You scracht my back and I scracht yours It s you who makes decisions I just open up the doors Whining in the gutter They forget their sanctity Welcome to my clockwork Vanity machinery You gave your word You let me down What am I now You ve been facing heaven You were lost to left alone You re welcome to my home and Found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land Oh as far as the eye can see They re bent in submission Empty inside An army of scarecrows like me Thousands of brokens dreams Thousands of tradegies Tried to run from their destiny Like moths to a flame Driven by vanity They been off to Jerusalem Chasing a dream Calling on me We re just trading in needs You ve been facing heaven You were lost to left alone You re welcome to my home and Found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land

[Gabriel:] Days had come, winters had gone, and we gamboled like siblings in Paradise. I was your knight, holding you tight as a brother when I saw your crying eyes. Time went by and we had to say goodbye. Staring up to the clouds above Children - so little and sad. Hoping the saints could help one day Lead us together again. Holding the key to the alley of dreams still in hands. Time telling me to say farewell but I knew that I would fight hell and I knew: We will go for another time we can see, for another time we'll be free, for no more farewell. Time telling me to say farewell but I knew that I would fight hell and I knew: We will go for another time we can see, for another time we'll be free, for no more farewell. [Anna:] Stepbrother tell me where have you been when they brought me to this godforsaken place. Sign of the cross - they took me away for healing with herbs by the way of grace. Now I wait for the day to feed the flames. [Gabriel:] I have been caught in a cage of despair. My heart as a monk's cell so empty and bare. But no holy water can make me forget you again... Time telling me to say farewell but I knew that I would fight hell and I knew: We will go for another time we can see, for another time we'll be free, for no more farewell. Time telling me to say farewell but I knew that I would fight hell and I knew: We will go for another time we can see, for another time we'll be free, for no more farewell. [Solo - Henjo] Time telling me to say farewell but I knew that I would fight hell and I knew: We will go for another time we can see, for another time we'll be free, for no more farewell. Time telling me to say farewell but I knew that I would fight hell and I knew: We will go for another time we can see, for another time we'll be free, for no more farewell. [Lugaid:] No farewell could be the last one. If you long to meet again... No farewell could be the last one. If you long to meet again... No farewell could be the last one. If you long to meet again... No farewell could be the last one. If you long to meet again...
