Lyrics


1. FOREVERLAST

You've played this hand, refused to stand
Has dignity dissolved?
How far away I heard you say
In empathy devolved-
You cast your heart two worlds apart
And lost sight of your soul
But the sun will rise with cleaner eyes
That you pretend to know...

I stood here waiting for so long
I stood here praying I was wrong.

You said that we could last forever,
Forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever,
If only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light
Fights trough the rain
But if you promise me forever,
I know that it's in vain.

If silence slips from sacred lips
Shall the world un-become.
The tears of saints in blood you paint
A cowards word is none
And with no voice you forfeit choice
And crucify your thoughts
But see a face in tortured grace
Whose eyes belonged to God

I stood here waiting for so long
I stood here praying I was wrong.

You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights trough the rain
But now a promise of forever, won't take away the pain.

Sangrael,
Sangrael
A lovers cup before a wishing well
Sangrael,
Sangrael
Where all who thirst shall drink
Sangrael,
Sangrael
From heavens height to the depths of hell
Sangrael,
Sangrael
All who thirst shall drink

I stood here waiting for so long
I stood here praying I was wrong.

You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights trough the rain
But if you promise me forever, I know that it's in vain.

You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights through the rain
But now a promise of forever, won't take away the pain.


2. HELEN (NO TROY MIX)

The sounds of yesterday still echo in my head
Distant conflicts unresolved
We were young once,
And in love

Nothing was more real...
More real to feel.

Fools for lovers,
children are
In petty circumstance
Like razors seen

More clearly now
Watching from the outside
Looking down
I feel so helpless

I see angels trapped beneath the ice
And strangers in my bed at night

Cloudy skies to cover up
The feelings buried in the dark
Helen, i think you understand
The night is silent in your hands
I give it everything I have
And when its gone

There's nothing left but me

Sadness whispers her condolences
For the greatest tragedy of all is love lost
But the greatest virtue belongs to those
Who will give everything
To love again...

It is a test

I don't think its fair to blame each other
For the happiness we sought but didn't find
Gibran's words i heard in angel's eyes
Too young to understand
But I pause as we grow between the lines

And if the walls of our communion fall to nothingness
How wrong the dreamers would be
But I won't accept it,
I won't give up
World be damned,
For love is hard

And this time...
This time...
I'm not running away

I see angels trapped beneath the ice
And strangers in my bed at night
Cloudy skies to cover up

The feelings buried in the dark
Helen, i think you understand
The night is silent in your hands
I give it everything I have
And when its gone
There's nothing left

I see angels trapped beneath the ice
And strangers in my bed at night
Cloudy skies to cover up
The feelings buried in the dark
Helen, i think you understand
The night is silent in your hands

I give it everything I have
And when its gone
There's nothing left but me

There is always hope,
And the strongest and the bravest
Will always keep it close to them

For if you surrender hope,
Then love was right to leave you

I see angels trapped beneath the ice
And strangers in my bed at night
Cloudy skies to cover up
The feelings buried in the dark

Helen, i think you understand
The night is silent in your hands
I give it everything I have
And when its gone
There's nothing left

I see angels trapped beneath the ice

And strangers in my bed at night
Cloudy skies to cover up
The feelings buried in the dark
Helen, i think you understand
The night is silent in your hands
I give it everything I have

And when its gone
There's nothing left but me

4. DRAGONFLY (CONJURE ONE REMIX)

"Don't ask me to surrender"
Her voice fell tired and spent

"My hopes and dreams, a silent heart
I carry here within"

Her outstretched wings, left tattered
A sail aged with rust
"A breath in time, that's yours and mine...
It belongs to only us"

And I will write her name and cast it to the sky
Silhouettes recede into a mother's tearful eyes
A host of angels clamor to her side
A light dissolves to kiss the wind
Release the dragonfly

See the rose within the field of white
She's searching for the grail
But the rain descends to snatch the light
From distant dying suns
A faint resounding in the night
Calls angels wings to beat

Singing silent lip-sewn songs
But the distance is too deep ..

And I will write her name and cast it to the sky
Silhouettes recede into a mother's tearful eyes
A host of angels clamor to her side
A night dissolved to kiss the wind

Release the dragonfly

And I will write her name and cast it to the sky
As precious moments will slip away in time
Angels fall from grace, and sometimes heroes die
But tonight, my love, ascend the gates,
Release the dragonfly

"Sometimes angels fall, but love will never die
Tonight my soul is something more" -
Calls the dragonfly.

6. ...ONLY SLEEP

In this fading realm of silent dreams
All falls quiet in front of me
I have to think, I must believe
That this is only sleep

As the day has tread into the night
And memory is painted white
A kiss will carry you away
And find us another place

Still I want again to hold your hand
A moment more to understand
How much it means, these little things
To savor one more smile

But in the silence nothing stirs
Not a rising breath to reassure
So I hang my head and hold you close
For this is only sleep

And that's the way I watch the sky
With a simple prayer to sail her by
I have to think, I must believe
That this is only sleep

Only sleep, only sleep
Only sleep, only sleep

If morning comes and all is quiet
A liftetime dances in my mind
But I have to think, I must believe
That this is only sleep,

And that's the way I watch the sky
With a simple prayer to sail her by
I have to think, I must believe
That this is only sleep

Only sleep, only sleep
Only sleep, only sleep

And that's the way I watch the sky
With a simple prayer to sail her by
I have to think, I must believe
That this is only sleep

I have to think, I must believe
That this is only sleep
Only sleep...

8. EDGE OF THE WORLD (SKINNY PUPPY REMIX)


I walk alone at night,
Raindrops and streetlights
Reflecting flashes
Across the asphalt

In a second's time, I might refrain from breathing
With her hand in mine, something is breaking faster
Through a blackened sky, I see a world unravel
I look into her eyes to see the end
In a second's time, the walls swim cold electric
With a tearful smile, she whispers my undoing
In the hollow night, I find no trace of comfort
I turn just in time to see the end

I walk the edge

Standing on the velvet edge
Looking backwards in the rain
I wonder just how many times
I've watched you walk away
All that fascination bleeds -
Is a piece of infinity
In frustration still believing
What I know will never be

Blurry eyes growing weak
Fading with the light of time
Piercing nothing to redeem
The emptiness with lies
Pride has raped the sorrowed heart
And stolen what I love,
Though the cut is digging still
How much deeper it could go...

Why did you come here,
Just to break my heart again?
I walk the edge ------
Why did you come here,
Just to sever my last remaining thread -
Why did you come here
Just to watch me fall again?
I walk the edge ------
Why did you come here....?
I walk the edge...
