Torchlight

You who ride the midnight sky on golden wings above Shine down on me your silver beams and grace me with your love Take my hand, my child of light, we'll sail the cosmic seas And travel through the galaxies of possibilities Utopian dreamer, I want to believe Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow’s dream You who climb the mountains high in purpled majesty I'll follow you over the snowcapped peaks, for I desire to see Through your eyes, my child of light, I'll chase the setting sun And travel through the centuries; it's only just begun Stargazing seer, make me a believer Futurist leaning, grand architect of dreams And after traveling so far I stepped into the sun and opened up my eyes Mourning worn by the poor, through centuries of war I wonder, will it ever end? Ever end? Ever end? Ever end?

She turned away one April day And left the world behind An enigmatic mystery Twisted inward and reborn Yet on the longest night, she returns to me again As empty branches reach toward And touch the purple sky And in the midnight hour, she calls to me by name Hidden in her words, the message and the key All light is lost; she’s stained my stained-glass window white Why dream in color, in a world so crystalline? Wrapped in her cold embrace Queen of wintеr Queen of night What lies behind your Frozen еyes? Snow like sand, my drifting fate I fall under her spell Time speeds up and then detains As the colors burn and fade And on that longest night, I leave the world behind As empty branches bend to earth And the purple sky turns black And in the midnight hour, she calls to me by name Hidden in her words, the message and the key All light is lost; she’s stained my stained-glass window white Why dream in color, in a world so crystalline? Wrapped in her dark embrace Queen of winter Queen of night What lies behind your Frozen eyes? And so we wander out into the snow As the north wind ever blows All is nothing, into nothing we become Everything and all Before the winter begins Before the winter begins Before the winter begins Before her winter begins

Feathers fell from golden wings Crimson streams in twilight sheen He's searching for something Ever lamenting the lost one Seven rays of golden light Radiate from his crown in the night He's hunting for something; Never-returning someone Eager eyes seeking for the light of the sun Ever scanning the horizon From the ashes below The firebird reborn With furious flames of the end Ashen rebirth on the shores of time Ascendancy beyond all reason and rhyme He’s hunting for something Now eclipsing the lost one Seven rays are rekindled this night Illuminated crown ever burning bright No longer searching for something; He has relinquished the only one Exultant eyes burning with the light of the sun Ever scanning the horizon Further into the red The firebird ascends Eternal flames of the end Deeper into the red The firebird ascends - Eternal flames of the end From infernos below A bolt of blazing gold Borne by the flames of the end Firebird ascend! Forever hunting the sun From the forges below Beyond the flames of the end Deep into the red The firebird eternally ascends

You who wander beyond the seven gates And ride the wind that leads to elsewhere There burns a fire, an ever-burning flame That will lead you to the other Hear the thunder Crack the sky; Electric lightning right in time! Burning rainbows Arc the sky And write the oaths that never die Storm clouds gather, borne upon the wind Wheels of fire ever spin The earth, it trembles; the mountains move and quake; The trees bend to kiss the meadow Feel the power Of the night Fire coursing through your veins! In the torchlight The way revealed An opening into forever Midnight dreamer lost in the realm of sleep Awaken now - the longest night retreats One by one, the stars they disappear Into magenta sky, as the dawn draws near Golden rays of morning fill the sky Mysteries unfold and reveal Let us wander beyond the seven gates We’ll ride the wind that leads us elsewhere Ablaze in torchlight, the ever-burning flame That will lead us, that will lead us to the other That will lead us to the other That will lead us to the other

From the leaves, down through the roots Into the soil, deep underground; Over and over, retracing our lines Into the heart of the earth, aflame Ancient Earth Metal Crystallized, our vision refined Boundaries dissolve, circuits align Cycles repeating, returning to find Answers and meaning beyond space and time Arcane Earth Metal Now all the stars are out, shining down for all of us to see The beauty around us, before the morning, before thе sunrise I've heard it said bеfore, night is but another door We open it wide, and let in the morning, let in the sunrise Distant voices calling Beckoning us beyond So we begin again We begin again We begin again

Purple sunset The final light Closed my eyes and remembered the night She said to me: “How far we have come But the road it leads on, and we've only begun.” Over and over, she follows the flame Which keeps her from seeing the light Always and ever, she calls out my name As the night is falling, chasing the sun away Nobody told her She’d need a friend To help her see it through to the end Nobody told her Thе burden she’d bear Thе weight of the golden ring she wears The golden ring Glistening black Black of the wild; To see the world through the eyes of a child To straighten the way Make narrow and right; We wait in the dark for our dreams to take flight Always and ever, we follow the flame Which keeps us from seeing the light Always and ever, I call out her name As the night advances, chasing the sun away Nobody told me I need a friend To help me see it through to the end Nobody told me The burden I bear The weight of the golden ring I wear The golden ring Midnight hour The final flight She closes her eyes, and she summons her power The moon ‘round her waist, as she flies from the depths With stars ’round her wrists, and the wind in her fists Always and forever Let it fall into the flame Into the flame

Steeped in the shade in the valley below A figure appeared by the river alone Cloaked in the twilight, my beautiful friend One night in late May, it came to an end

For years, we have wandered Deep in this grove Of poplar and cedar Maple and oak And now the wind’s whispering So sinister cold: Delusion, duplicity Dark is the season preceding the spring What future awaits us remains to be seen From the cold grasp of winter We fight to be free! Our years spent defended Beneath silent starless skies No song rings in sympathy Nor echoes cross time; Yet now the wind whispers Of sweetness, new light Wakе up from oblivion! Dark is the season precеding the spring What future’s created remains to be seen From the cold grasp of winter Rise up And be free!

Midnight hour falls upon the world asleep below As silver beams of starlight stream on lovers lost in dream And in the space between our worlds, where day and night collide From cold and dim to roar and din, a spark of light ignites The fire burning All is forgiven In the golden glow Stardust and torchlight Our lives unfold Full moon is rising, gunmetal gray the sky Blackest rider, hoofs are razing, rend asunder night Between the space beyond our worlds, the day erupts from dark Midnight dancer, you’re the answer, summon forth the dawn And bring the light All is forgiven In the golden glow Stardust and torchlight Our stories told All is forgiven In the golden glow Stardust and torchlight Life begins anew
