1. MY QUEEN OF WINTER

When the darkness has grown strong,
And the night it feels so long.
Like the sun has left too long just waiting,
And the winter's waining.

Blow out the candle and unleash the night,
Open the door, let the cold inside.
My heart you have captured, your shadow,
You ruptured, to leave all my fears to decay.

[Chorus]
All of my life I've been waiting for someone,
To share all my kingdom with me.
The silence unbroken, words left unspoken,
Sign across my heart your name.
The Queen of Winter; this is where you reign!

You are the daughter of the wolves and the breeze,
I am the beast of the winter.
Chill in your spine and the howl in the night,
I have the frost in your heart.

Get up! Get up!
Get up! Get up!
You're never gonna give up!

How would you feel,
If ya' can't hurt me.
How would you feel,
Going without pain?

[Chorus]

Sleep can be eternal,
Underneath the veil of stars,
The caress of a person,
Can be so soothing on our scars.

Stay forever, here beside me.
Slumber peacefully.
Through the years, my heart will belong to you,
And you'll belong to me.

[Chorus]

Where you reign!


2. MORE THAN FRIENDS

We're more than friends
We are like lovers
Two souls in one
Forever entwined
I feel with your skin
You live off my heart's beat
Warm me within
While tending my wound

Miles still divide
The distance between us
Keeps growing still
And hope is a lie
And every night
We share the same dream
That's where we hide
You and I

You have always been
Much more than friend to me
And I could never hope
To find another one
Now the time is right
Just tell me what to sacrifice
For you tonight

Wake me
With the sound of your heart's beats in silence
If I'm an offering good enough for you
Or let me slumber deeper and deeper
Forever awaiting for you

Would you hate me
If I crossed that line
From wanting to why
Alone until night
Tell me if I'm alive
Or just breathing
For I cast my shadow
and I'm alone

You have always been much more than a friend to me
You were always so more than a friend should be

Wake me
With the sound of your heartbeats in silence
If I'm an offering good enough for you
Or let me slumber deeper and deeper
Forever awaiting for you
Just call my name and I'll be there
Forever awaiting for you

You have always been much more than a friend to me
You were always so much more than a friend should be

Wake me
With the sound of your heart's beats in silence
If I'm an offering good enough for you
Or let me slumber deeper and deeper
Forever awaiting for you

Wake me
With the sound of your heart's beats in silence
If I'm an offering good enough for you
Just call my name and I'll be there
Forever awaiting for you


3. OCEANS OF REGRET

Resistance of irony,
In the way, don't stop.
Lack of sin for me,
It tares me so hopeless, so heartless
Say my name, its over for me.

Tonight, I pray for the last time.
For you and for me.
And our ordinary lives, ordinary lies.

My pain, re-defined,
Like an unwelcomed guest,
Her eyes, just to remind me.

I'm there for you,
If you still want me, to fall afterall.
I'm yours to keep, just come to me,
I'm waiting with my wounds wide open.

[Chorus]
Pour your salt, into these wounds,
And watch me crawl.
Tell me to take it like a man.
Show me my place, hurt me just because you can.

Though now it hurts like hell,
It is better to keep that something.
Instantly, being that I'm sad, in tears.

So tell me now, how was he?
And tell me, was he worth it?
And the space is all I want,
Solid payment for the torn and tired one,
Down cast, wayward son.

Can't grow out of my hope,
So I'm making my hole,
Though I'm wise enough to dig no more.

Trying to wash off the pain stain,
Don't fill my heart with your disdain.
Why can't you see, and live with it,
Face what you ask of me?

[Chorus]

Take me in and tell me you hate me,
Breathe with me, make love with me,
Until I bleed. How does it feel,
To know that you can break me?

And I guess I'd forgive,
If I would not go weak,
and I knew you'd give yourself to me.

Though the wound is too deep,
I would give everything,
if I could just be the object of your desire.

Silently, you stood there before me.
Violently, unveiling your sin and your deceit.
You said to me:
"Love is only beautiful when it bleeds."

[Chorus]

4. GATHER THE FAITHFUL

(Instrumental)


5. INTO THE BLUE

Once long ago I was young and naive
I dared to hope and I dared to dream
Once long ago lights were brighter for me
this world was mine to keep

I traveled so far defying the dawn
just to see where this road leads
my foolish hunt, unbroken *unscarred* was whole
...and then there was you.

Once long a go I felt lost without you
and life had lift me high and *dry*
Once long ago didn't know what to do
Alone inside my mind

So far away, from where I'm today
no one can reach my heart
Until the day my darkness freed away
and into the blue

[Chorus]
Out of the darkness and into the blue
still broken and scarred but I'm over you
for every scar and every tear that falls
means I'm healing

Where are you now, are you thinking of me?
when you look in the mirror, what do you see
the burden you bear and the secret you keep
reminding you endlessly

I'm being broken for a while
but I'm not missing you

[Chorus]

Out of the darkness; into the blue
where you don't want me and I don't need you
Thou I'm down and thou I'm torn apart
I'm still breathing

[Chorus]

Out of the darkness; into the blue
where you don't want me and I don't need you
Thou I'm down and thou I'm torn apart
I'm still breathing

Out of the darkness and into the blue
where you don't want me and I don't need you
Thou I'm down and thou I'm torn apart
My heart's beating


6. DAWN OF SOLACE

Call me when the fire,
From the preacher's burning.
Guilt's in your eyes,
And you need someone to take the blame,
Once more, like you've done before.

So when you need a scape goat,
Just place the blame on me.
I never asked be anyone's hero,
I never asked to carry the torch.

I'm here for you to crucify,
Waiting for your lies,
To save me once more.

So let me take that cross from you,
I'll bury it like I always do.

Out of the night and into the light.
Where I swear my allegiance.
I'll stand by your side,
And I will ease your sorrow and greed.

Your burden, I will bare,
Your pain, I will share.
To you I will surrender.

But in the end,
I know I'll have the last laugh,
And smile at the dawn of solace,
And laugh on the reckoning day.

Once more, the fool's will return,
To parade you and mock you,
Until they hate you for what you've become.
And you call me.

But I am overburdened,
And I can take no more.
I am what I am, but never before,
And no matter what, it'll settle the score.

Deep in the night, I'll hide from the light.
Where I swore my allegiance.
I'll stand by your side,
And I won't ease your sorrow or pain.

No burden to bare,
I've suffered my share,
Now gone, this feels so tender.

And in the end,
I know I'll have the last laugh,
And smile at the dawn of solace,
And laugh on the reckoning day.

And dream, if only for a moment.
For we are of a dying kind.

You! You disparate me, rape me, hate me.
'Till there is nothing left worth saving.
My heart is cold and growing colder.
Now be a man, just wake me when it's over.

Deep in the night, I'll hide from the light.
Where I swore my allegiance.
I'll stand by your side,
And I won't ease your sorrow or pain.

No burden to bare,
I've suffered my share,
Now gone, this feels so tender.

And in the end,
I know I'll have the last laugh,
And smile at the dawn of solace,
And laugh on the reckoning day.

And dream, if only for a moment.
For we are of a dying kind.


7. THORN IN MY SIDE

I did not hear the warning,
I did not see the signs.
You're the master of illusion,
You're the devil in disguise.

Temptress in lace and leather,
You make me loose control.
One sinful night,
And I just lost my heart and lost my soul.

I was the one to hold you,
But not the only one.
I hear you say you're sorry,
But some things can not be undone!

I tried so hard to forget,
Tried so hard to fuck it.
I tried to understand,
But it's too late to make amends.

Don't come here asking for forgiveness,
For the things you've done.
Don't point your finger at me,
Because you are the fallen one.

[Chorus]
Thorn in my side.
Forever hurting me.
You're for my first,
Stay for the night.

Please stay here,
Close to me.
I'll play the clown,
Just strike me down,
Again.

Still searching for my pieces,
So still out of control.
One piece is always missing,
And I don't know how to fill that hole.

Still I don't know the answer,
Or what the question is.
Don't know how weak I feel,
But I don't want it to end like this.

[Chorus]

Please stay here,
Close to me.
I'll play the clown,
Just strike me down,
Again.

Still I want to touch you,
Still I long to hold you,
Still I need you to be here,
Right here by my side.

And still I cannot have you,
Still you are too wild and free.
And still I cannot accept,
That you are not meant for me.

[Chorus]

Please stay here, close to me.

Still I want to touch you,
Still I long to hold you,
Still I need you to be here,
Right here by my side.

Still I want to touch you,
Still I long to hold you,
Still I need you to be here,
Right here by my side.


8. MORPHEUS IN A MASQUERADE

One more night,
One more before I shall whither and die.
Grant me just one more life.
One more I'm needed to make this thing right.

The more that I gave,
The less I received.
It's all for them,
And none for me.

I am unworthy to be sacrificed,
I'm such a tragic coming.

Doing the dance, and singing the songs,
I'm Morpheus in a Masquerade.
Your just sins, I have held deep-within.
I will burn down for you.

One more night,
For me to turn into what I portrayed.
Call me by my true name.
One more time, one more before it's too late

It's not the ovations that I so adore,
It's your shrine I kneel before.
You were my beginning and you'll be my end,
My lover and my friend.

There in the dark you have always been waiting,
Waiting for me to return back home.
Hold onto me when the ballroom has ended,
Masquerade has faded.

Dark is the road that now lies before me,
Twisting the path to that empty house,
Where evil lurks in every darkened room.
Just waiting for you.

Liars and the martyrs,
I've got dreams to auction.
Devil can you hear me?
I've got souls to sell.

Sinner or a saint,
For me it's all the same.
I have grown so tired,
Of this Masquerade.

My ray of hope, where are you now,
When I need you the most?
You are the child of love,
And you are all I've been longing for.

Let your morning fall upon me,
Let the night time fade away.
Bestow on me forgiveness,
And let me live for another day!

And I've gone and made my bed,
And in it I will lay.
Bored of evil, for now,
I'm old and gray.

I'm Morpheus, please dance with me.
As always can take the lead,
And guide me through the walls of light,
Sailing through the seas of night.

I'm Morpheus, please caress me.
Hold my heart, too weak to beat.
For I'm not sure I want to see,
What you've come to show to me.

Tonight, see the weight of a broken man,
Standing by the shore-line.
He turns around,
And I can see it's me.

Standing where the ocean touch the sand,
This little boy,
Has grown to be a man.
Let me be the best I can.

Take me where the clouds caress the horizon.
Where all I hear is whisper of the wind.
And mothers rule must move things on, once more.
Where is the star I used to wish upon, so long ago?

One moment, I'm broken.
My heart will be wide open.
For someone, for no one.
Cast to the wind, my ashes.

Here I stand, naked and ashamed.
I've been stripped down to the bone.
The Emperor's new clothes,
And no one here can see.

And no one can say,
But it's good enough for me.
I'm undone and forsaken,
By my imaginary friends.

You'll all leave me alone,
So I can down my existence.
For in the end,
I don't even know who I am.

I've shifted shapes so many times.
I've forgotten which ones mine.
So sick and tired,
Of been sick and tired.

My quest for immortality,
Has made me so much more human,
Than I ever wished to be.
My love, save me!


9. STOLEN WATERS

My lady of pain,
Always come without a warning.
And tear a little heart apart.

Every mistake, and every tear,
That's set on falling.
Each and every one wears my name.

Don't place your hopes on me,
For I'm gonna let you down.
I am better left alone,
Please leave my loneliness unbroken.

The charm of stolen waters,
Revenge is hard and upon my hand.
My only true redeemer,
The only thing I still can feel.

Keep your distance.
Don't come to close,
Or I will hurt you.
Even though don't want to.

(Just run)

So hard to make a stand,
When all I ever asked,
Still leaves this hunger,
Unsatisfied.

Still I miss the morning dues,
Still I crave for the warming sun.
Temptation to power through.
It breaks my will and leaves me pain.

The charm of stolen waters,
Revenge is hard and upon my hand.
One fragile passing moment.
Just one more dream that did not last.

Her angel wings, now broken.
I've become the face of misery.
Go to her heart, to open.
In silence archers watch her bleed.

It doesn't stand. Young heart fool on her way.
And though every lie, you will be mine tonight.
Naked and tied, stripped of her pain.
Betrayer of our dreams, pale moonlight.

Hold me, closer.
Pray that the night's never over.
Be me, so meanly.
I am so close, yet so far away.

Don't place your hopes on me,
For I'm gonna let you down.
I am better left alone,
Please leave my loneliness unbroken.

The charm of stolen waters.
Revenge is hard and upon my hand.
One fragile passing moment.
Just one more dream that did not last.

Her angel wings, now broken.
I've become the face of misery.
Go to her heart, to open.
In silence archers watch her bleed.

(The charm of stolen waters)
Revenge is hard and upon my hand.
(My only true redeemer)
The only thing I still can feel.


10. TALE UNTOLD

(No lyrics available)


11. ELEGANTLY BROKEN

Silence is broken.
Empty words are licking,
The layers of sin,
From our skin.

We realise happenings,
and not for everyone.
They're not for us.

Break of dawn,
Let us lay down our arms.
In the end of the day,
We can savour our loss.

But I never stopped trying.
And I never said,
I was not for...

[Chorus]
A little bit of pain,
A little bit of longing,
A little bit of love,
To come our way.
A little bit of fear,
A little bit of hate,
Little hope,
For the hopeless.
A little bit of rain,
A little bit of thunder,
Little broken smile,
At the end of our day.
A little stormy cloud,
A little bit of winter,
Breath life,
Into lifeless.

You were always so much stronger than me.
Now our pain has made you beautiful.
But inside your armor, is your heart still open?
For here I stand, still trapped in my solitary shell.

Reaching out to you, with my aching thorns.
Hear me now, please don't tell me,
You are too proud for...

[Chorus]

Just give yourself to me,
Together we can will be,
So elegantly broken.
