Standing tall, we worship the night We cry the tears, the questions unspoken The sacred form, a bronze reflected light In soil we search for this greed to be broken Upon this day, a god forsaken right The passing dawn, the heart of the sunrise We build the dream, stay true to the fight We light the fire, keep the power till this world dies When the spirit joins the afterglow And when the demons dance their fantasies below The guardian leads the path to kingdom come The true religion face the dagger run We are the night, we are the day, we are the dream We are the secret of the miracle Love, we are the right, we are the way We are the children of the circle Truth, we are the life, we are the right We are the masters of all evil Earth, the air you breathe, we are the fire We are the children of the circle The golden wings, the brothers of the earth The rivers tied, the silence is broken We seal the truth, the sister-hooded birth We light the heavens till the new dawn has woken Let's give the freedom for an angel's flight So many centuries, the secrets hold the night And if the power breaks, the system falls Come forth you holy men and heed the call We are the night, we are the day, we are the dream We are the secret of the miracle Love, we are the right, we are the way We are the children of the circle Truth, we are the life, we are the right We are the masters of all evil Earth, the air you breathe, we are the fire We are the children of the circle We are the night, we are the day, we are the dream We are the secret of the miracle Love, we are the right, we are the way We are the children of the circle Truth, we are the life, we are the right We are the masters of all evil Earth, the air you breathe, we are the fire We are the children of the circle

We knew it would be like this, a tainted eden lie From now the serpents gather as they sentence men to die They welcome fallen paradise while haunting every breath But the broken, cold and desolate soul defies a righteous death For men in arms are soldiers, they fight for their belief The struggle never ending to find the prince of peace Come the time, the only crime is letting truth be heard When a stone inspires a castle, the meek forever feared My angel, be my guardian now Sweet angel, may the song be a sweet forgiving sound Grant us now, the prophecy, the right to carry on Forgive us now, the truth, the battle for the rising sun Give us now, the prophecy, the gift of purity and show us now Show the door to set the sinner free We had to find a way to make the serpent shine The reaper sighs the fall of a man in a gilded temple shrine Then rise a golden future from the gold distorted past We say a prayer for the innocent in a dream too good to last My angel, fight to foe for me now Sweet, sweet angel, may the word be a sweet forgiving sound Grant us now, the prophecy, the right to carry on Forgive us now, the truth, the battle for the rising sun Give us now, the prophecy, the gift of purity and show us now Show the door to set the sinner free Grant us now, the prophecy, the right to carry on Forgive us now, the truth, the battle for the rising sun Give us now, the prophecy, the gift of purity and show us now Show the door to set the sinner free Grant us now, the prophecy, the right to carry on Forgive us now, the truth, the battle for the rising sun Give us now, the prophecy, the gift of purity and show us now Show the door to set the sinner free Grant us now, the prophecy, the right to carry on Forgive us now, the truth, the battle for the rising sun Give us now, the prophecy, the gift of purity and show us now Show the door to set the sinner free

Everybody needs a special love A raging heart, a dream for a dreamer The strongest light in the stars above A precious touch to turn a believer To see a smile in a lover's eyes Burning strong, the heat of desire To hold a special love that never dies I’ll be the one, the flame to your fire But if the fire grows cold You need someone to hold through tears and sadness To break the chains and set you free I’ll be your fool, I’ll be the sunshine on a rainy day I’ll be the rock that stands, the shelter through the storm I’ll be your fool, I’ll be the blue sky when the clouds are grey I’ll be your light, your love, the fire to keeps you warm I’ll be your fool for you Everybody needs someone to hold No lonely nights, the flame still keeps burning Someone to turn to when love grows cold You call my name and you know I’ll come running And when you can't go on I’ll be the one to hold through tears and sadness To break the chains and set love free I’ll be your fool, I’ll be the sunshine on a rainy day I’ll be the rock that stands, the shelter through the storm I’ll be your fool, I’ll be the blue sky when the clouds are grey I’ll be your light, your love, the fire to keeps you warm I’ll be your fool for you I’ll be your fool, I’ll be the sunshine on a rainy day I’ll be the rock that stands, the shelter through the storm I’ll be your fool, I’ll be the blue sky when the clouds are grey I’ll be your light, your love, the fire to keeps you warm I’ll be your fool for you

Wish I could find the words I’ve wanted to say It's such a crime, but words mean nothing If you could see inside my heart then you'd find That affairs of the heart and like the first day of spring A brand new day but look behind the veiled disguise There lies a paradise where we can stay I’ll stop the world revolving for you And anything else you want me to I’d fly you high and never let you fall We'll leave the echoes of the night until the daybreak calls With every beat of my heart I’ll be the one to show you that love still survives With every beat of my heart I’ll be the spirit to lead you on, the glow of the setting sun With every beat of my heart Beyond the rainbow There lies a pot of gold for you and I But nothing lasts forever Said the joker to the fool, it's such a lie I’ll be the key to eden for you And do anything you want me to I’ll be your love, your light The biggest, brightest star I’ll be your guide to emotion, the bridge to your heart With every beat of my heart I’ll be the one to show you that love still survives With every beat of my heart I’ll be the smile in your sadness, the truth in your lies With every beat of my heart I’ll be the spirit to lead you on, the glow of the setting sun With every beat of my heart With every beat of my heart With every beat of my heart I’ll be the one to show you that love still survives With every beat of my heart I’ll be the smile in your sadness, the truth in your lies With every beat of my heart I’ll be the spirit to lead you on, the glow of the setting sun With every beat of my heart

When empires burn When empires burn A raging heart, a second hand emotion The flowers of freedom, turn to cold heartless skies The feint refrain of songs of dreams and wonder The nightmare visions wait behind closing eyes The winds of change, the words of hope and splendour A slowly fading star in circles belief But then it came, a sound that rocked a nation We only suffer fools when fools we believe But only dreamers get lost in cold perfection Love changes temples when banners unfurl The blind man leads the blind to find a new direction Whatever it takes love survives When empires burn and the hammer it must fall The innocent finally find the truth behind it all When empires burn, the last curtain call The children will dream in their hearts, a new world tonight When empires burn and freedom is the sound The pages of history see the world tumbling down When empires burn, a new brighter day The children will shine in their eyes, a new world tonight When empires burn The blackened night, the sound of heavy thunder The wheels keep turning as we fight to the fall The last embrace across the seas and oceans As one in spirit but united the cause The burning bridges gives light to new horizons The milk of human kind as white as the day The cup of kindness gives a bittersweet emotion Whatever it takes love survives When empires burn and the hammer it must fall The innocent finally find the truth behind it all When empires burn, the last curtain call The children will dream in their hearts, a new world tonight When empires burn and freedom is the sound The pages of history see the world tumbling down When empires burn, a new brighter day The children will shine in their eyes, a new world tonight When empires burn When empires burn When empires burn and the hammer it must fall The innocent finally find the truth behind it all When empires burn, the last curtain call The children will dream in their hearts, a new world tonight When empires burn and freedom is the sound The pages of history see the world tumbling down When empires burn, a new brighter day The children will shine in their eyes, a new world tonight When empires burn

With your dreams I could climb every mountain With your love I could tear down the walls With your heart I could fly like an eagle Break these chains when you call You feed the fire that burns deep inside I feel you love growing higher and higher You are the light, the dark and the reason You are the flame to my fire When the wind cries your name I’m on the wings of an angel I’m caught in a moment in time In your arms I’m on the golden wings of romance with you You're the meaning of love You touched my heart and now I can't let you go When the words don't say enough You give it all, you're the meaning of love In your eyes I see the light and the wonder In your voice I hear love You are the dream, the life in the springtime You are the starlight above Like a shadow in the daylight I’ll be there by your side And I’m never going to let you go In your arms I’m on the golden wings of romance with you You're the meaning of love You touched my heart and now I can't let you go When the words don't say enough You give it all, you're the meaning of love And if the stars refuse to shine I’ll feel you holding me close to you You're the meaning of love You touched my heart and now I can't let you go When the words don't say enough You give it all, you're the meaning of love You're the meaning of love You touched my heart and now I can't let you go When the words don't say enough You give it all, you're the meaning of love

We're saints and sinners bound to live and breathe as one Where love and hate are brothers we just dance to different drums And angels fear to tread this world that has become Where mothers mourn their daughters and fathers grieve their sons Between a rock and a hard place No rhyme or reason is living this way Just like a lover's first heartache We change the rule to our fool's game This is the day and time like the tide is slipping slowly away The colour of rainbow eyes, have drifted bright to grey This is the day, take the moment, change the world, a new better way Lets find the truth behind the lies, where hearts can beat as one The calm before the storm, this is the day We curse the candlelight, the drifting of the sands The venom and the hatred for the distant foreign lands We gaze with eyes, with cold despise, and clench the helping hand To the beggar and the blind man, you and me the common man We fight the fire with salvation We quest creation with wonder and pain We starve with fear and the hunger We kiss the flames and the thunder This is the day and time like the tide is slipping slowly away The colour of rainbow eyes, have drifted bright to grey This is the day, take the moment, change the world, a new better way Lets find the truth behind the lies, where hearts can beat as one The calm before the storm, this is the day Before the madness grows colder The dream grows older as time ticks away We'll greet the birth of a new day This is the day This is the day and time like the tide is slipping slowly away The colour of rainbow eyes, have drifted bright to grey This is the day, take the moment, change the world, a new better way Lets find the truth behind the lies, where hearts can beat as one The calm before the storm, this is the day

They spawned desolate places Cold as steel with iron faces The citadel gates I fear are no more Gave rise to metal messiahs Electric eyes breathing fire Machines for destruction born for war But men fight, kill for the saviour Silent like the wind, fast as a laser They wait and pray for judgement day Finding light, deep in the darkness Seeking for forgiveness the see through the madness The iron cross will guide the way One day our sanctuary will deliver us once more The creatures end is drawing near The fabled stories will preach, love has found its way For men and women will never, ever live in fear The world, it ain't made for you and I In the setting sun, the loaded gun waits for you We cried the tears of a thousand eyes Someday utopia, someday utopia, tomorrow we'll be gone Cold as night, hides in shadow Fight for today, live for tomorrow Call of distant thunder pounds the air Terror breaths, driving white lightning God of salvation strike to the fighting The dawn of anger, cold despair One day in harmony, we'll live as one again The judgement day is drawing near The fabled stories will preach deliverance once more For men and women will never, ever, ever live in fear The world, it ain't made for you and I In the setting sun, the loaded gun waits for you We cried the tears of a ten thousand eyes Someday utopia, someday utopia, tomorrow we'll be gone One day our sanctuary will deliver us once more The creatures end is drawing near The fabled stories will preach, love has found its way For men and women will never, ever live in fear The world, it ain't made for you and I In the setting sun, the loaded gun waits for you We cried the tears of a million eyes Someday utopia, someday utopia, tomorrow we'll be gone

I heard the drums On the day the moon chased Shadows from the dawn, my love And I heard your voice When I kissed the words you write And I wondered what has become of you When the earth lies still When this crazy world stops revolving There'll be just you and I When the earth lies still Above the blood red skies we'll fly And be together again once more When the earth lies still I saw your face In a dreamless day The vision burns my eyes, my love And I'm still here To the oceans far and wide I cannot hide my love for you When the earth lies still When this crazy world stops revolving There'll be just you and I When the earth lies still Above the blood red skies we'll fly And be together again once more When the earth lies still When the earth lies still When this crazy world stops revolving There'll be just you and I When the earth lies still Above the blood red skies we'll fly And be together again once more When the earth lies still When the earth lies still
