Radiant light of the countryside
Sold to a man, soon to be his bride
Caught by a witch at the end of day
A rider she met on the way
Thrown by love into the flames of passion
Under the demon moon
Susan
The road is long and the Tower lies beyond
Susan
We'll ride the beam until the Tower falls
She fought in a war she had no part in
Tasted love in hiding
In jalousy her fate was written
Dicted by the lust of men
Finally, he failed her, as the mob closed in
Into the pyre they threw her and his anger was too late
Thrown by love into the flames of passion
Under the demon moon
Susan
The road is long and the Tower lies beyond
Susan
We'll ride the beam until the Tower falls

Permanent Heartbreak

Rain doesn't wash anything down
It burns
Flow the water, flow the water,
Calm and soothing
Some may say that the weather had naught to do about it
But you and I know better
Nobody said to me how easy it would be
To miss a beat with my permanently broken heart
So long, I'll see ya
You won't be the one to mend my permanent heartbreak
So it seems it's a secret to everyone
But I've trodden on, scoured every road of this island so I'd find it
Some may say that the weather had naught to do about it
But you and I know better
Nobody said to me how easy it would be
To miss a beat with my permanently broken heart
So long, I'll see ya
You won't be the one to mend my permanent heartbreak

Broken-hearted
Stuck at the edge
Of a city made of gold
I pray
I have paid my debt
But, still, I hurt my nails on the door
Every drop of rain I sustained and
Every blow of wind I made my own
Breathed in the air
The road was paved with lying faces
But the light still burns my eyes

Once on a summer night
I saw a slender figure
Her eyes were green as the grass where she was standing
She bends time to her will
Our lady of light
She's a thorn stuck in my side
Lady of Limbo
Clad in a veil of stars
Lady, may I write
A line in your memoirs ?
Lady of Limbo
Will never tell me why
Lady let me go
With you into the sky
I saw her braid her hair
Into a ray of moonlight
She turned to me and said:
"You were born without a sight"
Lady of Limbo
Clad in a veil of stars
Lady, may I write
A line in your memoirs ?
Lady of Limbo
Will never tell me why
Lady let me go
With you into the sky

Gabrielle

I have been caught red handed
Despite the words I've said
Forever I will bear
This weight, the stain
My mouth, full of lies
Living in d isguise
Day by day, way after way
Keep it all dull
Keep the pain at bay
Aren't we all made of light ?
Come comala, let fall the night
Lovely Gabrielle
I cry for you
I killed you with my own two hands
Gabrielle
I cry for you
We will meet again in the clearing at the end
Let me have revenge
I won't clear my name but I'll have him
I will have his head on a spike.

Alette

It's been such a long time
Since I saw you like I used to see
Gone are the days
The pasture of plenty
In a realm beside the sea
Do still the wind blow in your hair
Like it always did ?
And as the memory fades
And I haven't catched your gaze
In a year or so
All I've had
All I've said
Goes
« It's a cold and icy road, Alete »
So I used to say but did you hear me or the song of the rain ?
Flow the water
Blow the gale
So the winter came and has frozen me away
And time and time again the voices of the lost I heard. They said :
« Don't you go ! This way is closed now ! It's locked now, sullied and forsaken ! »
All who built it are gone
Left us out here alone
In the ruins of today
From so high I fell
I haven't touched the ground yet
Falling down
All you see
Are the lights of the byway
From so high I fell
I haven't touched the ground yet

Sunshine

Once every animal used to add its voice to the choir
And the trees would waver in the wind to the rythm
Now I find myself again
Lost in the darkest of all places
Longing for one I have never even met
It’s a shame, oh for sure it’s a crying shame
Was it all in vain ? Or should I do it all again ?
I trample the water with my trembling feet of clay
I if turn for a gaze
You’ll never get away
Sun won’t shine on us forever
Rain won’t pass me by, my love
Of course I’ve heard’em all and the words that they said
« Listen boy we’ve seen and heard and felt it all before ! »
Is this all I get ? Well for sure it’s a crying shame
If it’s all in vain why should I do it all again ?
It’s too little, it’s too late
It’s too little, it’s too late
If I turn for a gaze I know you’ll never get away
Sun won’t shine on us forever
Rain won’t pass me by, my love

In Vain
04:00

So help me God
For I have sinned
So help me Lord
With all I wasted
And time and time I tried and failed
It’s all the wind
Indifferent and pale
It’s all the wind
So help me God
For all the hurt I gave and all that I received
For all time that I spent just waiting on you
And I can’t help but wonder :
If it’s all the wind
What difference did I make ?
It all the wind…
In vain
Was it all in vain ?
Did I use all my chances for naught ?
Afraid forever
So help me undo
My old bag of tricks
Nooks and crannies
Somewhere on the other side of the sea
Lies a land that’s blue and…
… free as the wind
Indifferent and pale

Flycatcher

All around
The stars are grains of sand
I have spent my life
Grasping at flies
Maybe the light
Will hold me in its hands
And take me there
Where the flies do not fly yet
I've been stranded in the heart of an ocean
With my back against the wall
I've known madness when the day came down
And the fire went out
And the demons from before they came and slept with me
I forfeited my life
I knelt down and prayed
I burned out my eyes
I'll be catcher of the flies
Hunter of the worthiest prey
I've become a creature
A monster I was made
In my mouth I will take you with me
Deep in the woods I lived
In a cave I have laid
Cause I was pushed away
Over and over again
All I did or said I’d do, I’d say again

Raise your hands for the boys of summer
Round, and round, and round the money goes
Everything must pass
Everything must come and go
