III: Tragic Symphony

Tiger! Tiger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire? And what shoulder, and what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when the heart begins to beat, What dread hand? and what dread feet? What the hammer? what the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp Dare its deadly terror clasp? When the stars threw down their spears, And watered heaven with their tears Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the lamb make thee? Tiger! Tiger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

If you listen to the wind you'll hear the song of the birds Listen pure and simple, hear the wisdom in their words... To fight or flee, you must be free, your hero is yourself You'll find you have the courage and the strength to put down hell's fires! If you cast out the doubt inside... Stand up tall and walk with pride... Take on an inner revolution... Change your heart and constitution... But don't let anger or fear set your course or guide your actions. Dare stand where no one can stand in the light... Seek the Power and the Passion The truth has a way of shining through And as you lie in the night it weighs heavy on your mind Searching for the answers and running out of time Yet if you lead them they will follow Stand up tall and show us all the way Mistakes mean nothing! If you cast out the doubt inside A frantic search for redirection... A suitable cause for insurrection... And does the sorrow of your day wilt the flowers of compassion. Dare go where no one has gone through the night... Seek the Power and the Passion The truth has it's way of shining through And when you've past through the night, taste the sweet wine of satisfaction. Dare stand where no one can stand in the light... Seize the Power and live with Passion The truth has it's way of shining through

Now the storm has passed and the winds have died As it blows all out to sea. Through it all I thought that we could last, but it was not meant to be... And all the king's horses and all the king's men They cannot put our lives back together again Goodbye... Goodbye... Now the lighthouse beacon that shown me the way is a light that shines no more. Will my ship be dashed upon the rocks that lie in my path? Or can I make it safely to the shore? It's as if you thrust a dagger right through my heart It's red hot blade, it tore me apart. Was it arrogance? Vanity? Like a fool up high on the wall... Who never thought he'd fall And all the king's horses and all the king's men They cannot put our love back together again So I turn out the lights as I close the door Cause I know that you won't be coming home anymore Goodbye... I wish you well Goodbye... From the depths of Hell Goodbye... You've broken my heart Goodbye... Can't believe we're apart And all the king's horses and all the king's men They cannot heal a broken heart, I pray that I can Not all the king's horses and all the king's men Not all the king's horses and all the king's men

One ship set sail today, with it went my heart Silhouette disappears on the horizon Now and forever... worlds apart. Each breath grows harder to draw as bitter tears run through my hands. God's truth I find in solitude that no heart can understand Without a Word... Without a sound The curtain fell, no story left to tell The fruit of love has withered on the vine The shifting sands of time Have eroded through the years Your ship set sail that day upon a Sea of Tears Each day that passes is one less day to be Each breath brings us closer To where our souls are free. But God in heaven... Has never promised the sun without rain A thousand hopes have been shattered A thousand dreams have slipped away One ship sailed... across the sea On that ship my love took my heart from me Two ships pass... in the night They never saw each other They're gone by morning light The shifting sands of time Have eroded through the years My ship set sail today upon a Sea of Tears

They say it's better to love and to lose But I can't imagine a worse fate to choose Perhaps it is better... Never to have known love at all The game was played and everyone lost The stakes were too high, can't measure the cost It might have been better... Never to have played it at all But fate has decided - it's over and done The battles were fought - but nobody won Like an unfinished symphony no one will play Empty hearts have nothing left to say... They say it's better to love and to lose But I can't imagine a worse fate to choose Perhaps it is better... Never to have known love at all But fate has decided - it's over and done The battles were fought - and nobody won Like an unfinished symphony no one can play Empty hearts have nothing left to say... Nothing left to say... Empty hearts have turned and walked away...
