A long long time ago, a dream of a dream, dreaming to be.
A dream within a dream, reality yearning to be.
Please dream of dreams, come to me.
I long to die, I long to cry.
I long to do nothing and feel alive.
I long to be.
I long to be free, I long to be me.
I long to be ten thousand times who I used to be.
I long to be you, yet I long to be true.
Forever in madness I long not to be, but which side is madness and which side is me?
A long long time ago, a dream of a dream, dreaming to be.
A dream within a dream, reality yearning to be.
Please dream of dreams, come to me.
I long to be you, yet I long to be true.
Forever in madness I long not to be, but which side is madness and which side is me?

The Whisperer's Dream
04:40
|

|
The land of Everwinter, only mentioned in a whisper.
Misty water coloured memories, destroyed by all my duties.
Free of judgement, free of crime.
In my dreams I float through time.
Always free but never me.
He was the one with whom I thought all destruction could be fought
These waves of darkest night my heart consume.
Only in dreams is there no doom.
In the place of rules and discipline, all men can see is my deepest sin.
Free of judgement, free of crime.
In my dreams I float through time.
Always free but never...never...never ever me.
These waves of brightest light my soul consume.
Only in life eternal doom.
Sorrow in my eyes does gleam, I must return to the Whisperer's Dream

Deep Roads
03:57
|

|
Our spirits are crushed once more.
Every day comes the sorrow from before.
If only we could just once be free, maybe we'd go where we're meant to be.
The ancient deep roads I call my home.
No living souls here, I'm on my own.
Far away from all pain.
Our spirits are trapped once more.
Every day comes the battle from before.
If only, if only we could just once be free, maybe we'd be who we're meant to be.
The ancient deep roads I call my home.
No living souls here, I'm on my own.
Far away from all pain.

Musicbox

What is the secret of this world?
When all this time only darkness has unfurled.
Musicbox, Musicbox sing with me,
Musicbox,Musicbox paint for me,
I see the world through Musicbox eyes,
and now I’m free from my own lies.
A lonely waste of endless cruelty,
alone it seemed that’s all it would be.
Shed this armour from my skin,
With mere secrets we cannot win
We need no longer fear the wall,
We have climbed and seen it all.
Musicbox, Musicbox, dance with me,
Musicbox, Musicbox, teach me to be free.
I see the world through Musicbox eyes,
and now I’m free from all the lies.

Erased
03:18
|

|
Erased from all existence, my face cannot be found.
So happy you can’t see me, though I am all around.
Hiding in the jungle, you run from failure.
Anything to avoid this, so replace me now, replace me with your saviour.
Trapped in my body, trapped in my mind.
Erased from the universe, forgotten through time.
Sweet dreams in your illusion my love, preferring always to be numb.
To my great confusion my love, preferring never to succumb
Trapped in my body, trapped in my mind.
Erased from the universe, forgotten through time
Trapped in my memory, trapped in my crimes.
Erased from the universe, erased from mankind.
Begging, begging for mercy but no.
Harsh and wild and free, you always go.
Trapped in my memory, trapped in my crimes.
Erased from the universe, erased from mankind.
Begging, begging for mercy but no.
Harsh and wild and free, you always go.
Trapped in my memory, trapped in my crimes.
Erased from the universe, erased from mankind.
Begging, begging for mercy but no.
Harsh and wild and free, I must let go.

Escape
03:41
|
|||
|
I live in my dream world, escape every day.
It's black, but I think that's better than many shades of grey.
No, I don't miss the sun.
I'd rather just stay where I am.
Nothing is real, nothing is true.
All I can do is run from you but I know that warriors don't run.
My world isn't real, but even in there I don't need to lie like you.
Nothing is real, nothing is true.
I will never ever run from you.
I live in my dream world, escape every day.
It's black, but I think that's better than many shades of grey.
No, I don't miss the sun.
I'd rather just stay where I am.
Nothing is real, nothing is true.
All I can do is run from you but I know that warriors dont run.
I will never ever, never ever run from you.
Nothing is real, nothing is true.
I will never ever run from you.

Witch Hunt
04:15
|
|||
|
I wake up and the world turns black.
On the day I was born, they prepared my plaque.
Scheming whispers slowly creep,
and now of the darkness I do reek.
When did I become the monster that I am?
Forever and ever or am I the lamb?
Was I a witch before they burned me, or did I submit to be free?
When did I become the monster that I am?
Forever and ever or am I the lamb?
Was I a witch before they burned me, or did I submit to be free?
I can't recall the origin of my accursed heart.
Too much time spent fighting not to fall apart.
So hard I try to save myself yet somehow I know,
I need your help.

Tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I’ll be someone else.
I can’t help myself.
I’m lost again.
I’ll try again.
Promise.
Promise that you’ll love me now.
Even if you know I’m foul.
Forevermore.
That’s all I’ve ever wanted.
Someday.
Someday, I might try to leave again.
I can’t help myself.
Don’t let me go.
I can’t say goodbye.

O Mar

Eu não sou você, nem ninguém.
Eu sou do além.
Nesse mundo, em qualquer lugar, eu sou a estranha que não tem lar.
Essas baratas, todas iguais, nunca me deixam em paz.
Graças a deus! Um bom trabalho para mim.
Porque tanto sol? Porque tanta luz?
Eu vou espalhar a escuridão.
Eu sinto um nojo profundo de todos vocês.
É o mar, o mar mais escuro.
Um dia as ondas vão levar você.
