(A letter catches up with Mr. Nightmist on his travels. Considering the inherent danger of the business described within, he resolves to travels to Caldwell Town.) I have buried my father's son Under stone-covered, hallowed ground So many times, and my life goes on With the work of the many Always feeding the few Receiving your letter I knew, I just knew As legend you know me Beware! It's either black or white It's either true or false It's either on or off It's binary magic It's either black or white It's either true or false Life or death I've been walking these dusty roads I've been walking though rain But the drought and storms they all pale To the memory of magic The wind in her hair The sound of her laughter as light as the air As legend you know me Beware! It's either black or white It's either true or false It's either on or off It's binary magic It's either black or white It's either true or false Life or death As our wanderer is along his path There's an awakening of sorts Somehow the children learn the secrets of his craft And in the darkness they resort when Leibniz calls It's either black or white It's either true or false It's either on or off It's binary magic It's either black or white It's either true or false Life or death

In times of trouble When times are hard That's when ambition makes its move Plays out like clockwork One simple rule A simple trick Just take your pick The majority's all fools And soon to lose their souls Yes, soon they'll lose it all Burn! Witches burn! She's innocent Burn! Witches burn! When fear turns cruel Burn! Witches burn! But she's done nothing wrong Burn! Witches burn! You're all just fools Tend to your own affairs Stay out of this! Burn! Witches burn! Burn! Witches burn! Tonight spells trouble Tonight spells gloom This rabble-rousing mayor speaks And Caldwell town is doomed Fear turned to frenzy With torches held on high I couldn't save her There's no way she could hide That night I lost my soul That night I left it all I left it all behind I left to save my... I left to wipe my... Burn! Witches burn! She's innocent Burn! Witches burn! When fear turns cruel Burn! Witches burn! But she's done nothing wrong Burn! Witches burn! You're all just fools Tend to your own affairs Stay out of this! Burn! Witches burn! Burn! Witches burn! Burn! Witches burn! I am and have always been innocent of that which you accuse me. Until now! A curse upon you, Mr. Leibniz, sir. Your children, your children's children and every child henceforth born in this town will be guilty of serious black magic. Burn! Witches burn! She's innocent Burn! Witches burn! When fear turns cruel Burn! Witches burn! But she's done nothing wrong Burn! Witches burn! You're all just fools Tend to your own affairs Stay out of this! Burn! Witches burn! Burn! Witches burn! Burn! Witches burn! Burn! Witches burn!

Describe the situation: Unbridled, senseless greed Plain truth, the enemy Denial by decree Born out of desperation This plan to set us free No time for moderation Reaction: Time to bleed When your life doesn't matter When your voice can't be heard When your life doesn't matter Lone Gunman Rule Lone Gunman Rule Complete evaluation: "All hail!" the leader screams Last chance, the remedy The last thing that you need Derail the conversation No hope for honesty Its final destination The bottom of the sea When your life doesn't matter When your voice can't be heard When your life doesn't matter Lone Gunman Rule Lone Gunman Rule Take away our rights Our civil liberties Point your finger Let accusations fly We'll take you on One by one Lone gunman rule: Don't let them pin you down You better run You better run Lone gunman rule: You better up and run They'll do what they always do They will place the smoking gun on you

She never hurt a soul Kept all her secrets to herself She lived on the outskirts of this town It's better you don't know ‘Cause people here are scared Now you'll never know How beautiful How beautiful she was Now you'll never know How beautiful How beautiful she was She saw the best in me I never fully understood she told me I owed it to myself And it's better you don't know ‘Cause people here are scared Now you'll never know How beautiful How beautiful she was Now you'll never know How beautiful How beautiful she was Now you'll never know Now you'll never know Oh I remember when The night that they burned my whole life down The locket she gave me burst into flames And you know She never hurt a soul She'd save your life She'd spare you all But the cut goes far too deep Now this curse is yours to keep Now you'll never know How beautiful How beautiful she was Now you'll never know How beautiful How beautiful she was Now you'll never know

Can you see beneath the surface？ Don't ever let it show Can you feel the way it ripples at your touch？ Can you hear the children whisper？ He'll never let them go But you never know I can do magic! Yeah-year! I can do magic! I can I can do magic! It's true I can do magic! With you As you learn my long-kept secret I've kept it long enough I can see the trepidation in your touch As if you know too much I can do magic! Yeah-year! I can do magic! I can I can do magic! It's true I can do magic! With you Bearing this in mind Mr. Nightmist mustn't know We must find him you and I He might never let them go Throwing caution to the wind As we challenge space and time So our journey must begin With a brand new paradigm Cast your net too wide you fail So we ponder what we know Upon ships of death we sail O-oh! I can do magic! Yeah-year! I can do magic! I can I can do magic! It's true I can do magic! With you

It's a biting, bitter, cold September night You'd be wise to stay in bed The market square is dead The wind dies down and we know that it's midnight The moon lights the streets we walk The air comes alive For tonight is our time and it's magic For tonight is our time We've come to settle the score We're making serious black magic We tingle with the power of the night You'd be wise to lock your door The call rings out once more Come children! Heed your mistress it is midnight! There's blood on the streets that we walk and nothing seems real anymore For tonight is our time and it's magic For tonight is our time We've come to settle the score We're making serious black magic For fifty years of torture Five and five score more For all those years in torment Let my vengeance lift your soul We're making serious black magic

(The witch grows stronger with every young soul devoted to the magic she offers. Soon, no one will be able to avoid her vengeance.)

Mr. Nightmist, we'd be honored if you'd deign to grace this town Times are dire And we sure could use a man of your renown Mr. Nightmist, There is nothing we won't give, that we won't do And with you I am sure we'll see this through But the witch's curse holds strong As her spirit lingers on Like a rhyme long lost in long lost in song Mr. Nightmist I've been told Can erase this plague of souls He can raise the dead He's cheated hell A thousand times and more He makes demons fall in line Saved an angel trapped in time When the devil says "you're mine" Mr. Nightmist Mr. Nightmist, ancient wanderer and mystic reads the cards Scries the fire and the visions all strike terror in his heart Mr. Nightmist, sees the children swayed by evil at his door And be sure Mr. Nightmist sees no more And the witch's curse holds strong As her spirit lingers on Like a rhyme long lost in long lost in song Mr. Nightmist I've been told Can erase this plague of souls He can raise the dead He's cheated hell A thousand times and more He makes demons fall in line Saved an angel trapped in time When the devil says "you're mine"

Mr. Nightmist prepares to lift the curse by crossing over into the realm between life and death. Can he do what is required？ Have you ever thought to raise the dead？ You might find it's murky waters There is nothing like that dread Mark yourself lamb to slaughter But you reach out with your mind And protect yourself just time Spreading ashes to divine Let the angels know you're mine Even now thought I hold you in my arms and as beautiful you are And as real as any love can be Tell me now, am I taking it too far？ Can't help but wonder Am I saving you？ The witch of Caldwell Town When the time is right I'll bow my head Pour her ashes in the water As I call her by her name Place your torch upon my shoulder As I reach out with my mind And protect myself just fine Spread your ashes to divine Let the devil know you're mine Even now thought I hold you in my arms and as beautiful you are And as real as any love can be Tell me now, am I taking it too far？ Can't help but wonder Am I saving you？ The witch of Caldwell Town Even now thought I hold you in my arms and as beautiful you are And as real as any love can be Tell me now, am I taking it too far？ Am I saving you？ Are you saving me？ Could we ever let it go that far my loves Though I hold you in my arms and as beautiful you are And as real as any love can be Tell me now, am I taking it too far？ Can't help but wonder Am I saving you？ Or everyone？ Let me burn with you, my love

His resolve weakens and finally dissolves completely as the desire to remain with his beloved is far too strong. Can you see it in my eyes？ My life lost to this madness We're both alone So lost without our love Will you tell sweet little lies？ to cover up our sadness To free us both be the mirror to my soul True love is blind Is it love, do you know？ True love is blind If it's love, does it show？ True love is blind Here we go! Now you dance with me forever True love is blind When it's love you know True love is blind You're in love O-oh! True love is blind And for love now you dance with me forever And my love is blind My love is blind Whenever death seems real Whenever life misleads you You know that I believe You do I walked the Earth for you Uncovering the truth I stood alone undying for your love True love is blind Is it love, do you know？ True love is blind If it's love, does it show？ True love is blind Here we go! Now you dance with me forever True love is blind When it's love you know True love is blind You're in love O-oh! True love is blind And for love now you dance with me forever Can you see what has been done？ Can you see what we've become？ For a million years and one We dance When you see what we have done Then the rain beats down The rain beats down forever True love is blind Is it love, do you know？ True love is blind If it's love, does it show？ True love is blind Here we go! Now you dance with me forever True love is blind When it's love you know True love is blind You're in love O-oh! True love is blind And for love now you dance with me forever And my love is blind

A sense of unease creeps up on Mr. Nightmist. He comes-again-to the conclusion that her curse must be broken. There once was a time and a place Where time held a place in a maze Without map or key Venture in with me Now we're lost in time There once was a time I was sure This power would open the door I realize now I was wrong I was far too young and headstrong Real magic grows inside your heart Now I'm old enough This magic tears your soul apart To know what it does If it's love –Kill me True love – Just kill me If it's love –Kill me Cast your spell ‘Cause this love Will kill me I used to be fair but strong I used to be strong but just I used to use just enough To be fair, it's been tough You reach out with your iron will Reach out to silence that chill Taking stabs at the beast Making real make-believe To be fair, life's unreal Real magic grows inside your heart And I'm old enough This magic tears your soul apart To now what it does If it's love –Kill me True love – Just kill me If it's love –Kill me Cast your spell ‘Cause this love Will kill me And when at last the day has come You know it comes for everyone You measure up or you fall Hold your ground! Stand up tall! There is magic inside you Magic inside you, I know If it's love –Kill me True love – Just kill me If it's love –Kill me Cast your spell ‘Cause this love Will kill me

Breaking the curse and letting go of the past(both being much the same thing), Mr. Nightmist finds a new lease on life. This has been quite some day The kind of day you never thought you'd have Some day! That one fine day that never happens Yet you stand here living proof Living proof that fine day sure can come And you give it everything you've got This is you with your newfound freedom You with a different sound This is you as you turn your life around This is you down a road unknown Just you standing on your own This is you turning all our lives around There's just one way One way to realize your hopes and dreams One way through sacrifice And if it's my way now May it all come true for you Promise me you'll give it all you've got I promise you I'll give it all Promise you I give it all This is you with your newfound freedom You with a different sound This is you as you turn your life around This is you down a road unknown Just you standing on your own This is you turning all our lives around This is you with your newfound freedom You with a different sound This is you as you turn your life around This is you down a road unknown Just you standing on your own This is you turning all our lives around

Having achieved near immortality, Mr. Nightmist continues his journey and the lesson he learns as generations come and go is… that the story stays the same. I'm standing here with tears in my eyes Somehow I made it after all And I remember Every kindness I was shown But I remember, all alone Life ain't fair That much is clear No life ain't fair my dear Life ain't fair We're summoned here To see beauty in sacrifice Now I'm confused Is this the end or not？ What happens next？ Is there a shred of light？ No! There is no end in sight No! We can't allay your doubts But where there's love There's always hope for life And in that hope You make your sacrifice Love can be a lonely place Life devours all There is no end to all this suffering my friend No resolution There is no way I could evade this bitter end No true catharsis So here I am facing eternity again I am but night mist Cross over! Cross over so I can dream Silent custodian of dawn I had my dreams I lost them all I paid the price I took the fall I set you free I gave my life To mend the weave of destiny So when you're down And you feel lost Remember me And now the time has come To say goodbye And in this moment Let me tell you why I'm burdened by his memory I'm burdened by his tragedy once more I'm sad I always have to say farewell I'm sad our story never quite ends well But, wait, there's still the final page One final line before we take our bow Image this: The final act There is still one final song We will meet again

Rising in the desert a temple of the sun I am forgiving so come to me City in the sun Dancing shadows stir the night Powers move and shift And I'll rise again With the passing of time Like the ever-breathing Nile I shall rise again Like the stars, the moon, the sun When all seasons come undone I shall rise again Lift your eyes and see I hold the blackened sky To wake the sun and welcome morning And when you see the magic light brings to your eyes You know I was - I am and, oh, I shall become I shall become With the passing of time Like the ever-breathing Nile I shall rise again Like the stars, the moon, the sun When all seasons come undone I shall rise again Tell me you're the son of the sun Tell me you're the son of the sun Tell me you're the son of the sun Akhenaton

[Verse1:] In our near distant future Can you see such a thing? I could dream of a dream Filled with such wondrous things. Well, it's surely imagined: I'm a light to the moon, And the Earth starts to roll Lights out too soon. [Pre-chorus:] Where are you now? Living your life on a sun-punished ground, Tilling the land with the knocks of the plough? Tell me, I'm dying to know. [Chorus:] Reaching out for Castor skies We might ever never die. Be the first ones out alive, Don't you wonder? What it's like to roam at night? Endless wander, endless flight, Be the first ones out tonight, Don't you wonder? [Verse2:] So we gather our fortunes Out of many machines, And the day is to go For these things I've seen. Well, it's surely imagined When the Sun burns the Moon. Well, once leaving Earth But a second too soon. [Pre-chorus] [Chorus] [Bridge:] Starlight, shadows, Paint your face so everyone (is) broadcasting dreams you have found. [Chorus]

Don't like society? Then you can't help but see You've rabid dogs upon your heels Not feeling like the rest? Just take another test Gauge each emotion that you feel Keep in mind 9 out of 10 ain't bad Trapped in bureaucracy Or lost in ecstasy? No matter which I'm sure you'll yearn To learn that heresy And acts of god and me Are machinations of this world Keep in mind 9 out of 10 ain't bad What do you do when all that's coming down on you Says that you're older - you're older And every day you see the lines on every face And you feel older but none the wiser Enraged by apathy cold hearts in atrophy A generation quite disturbed The iron curtain fell now life's a private hell Perpetually unperturbed Keep in mind 9 out of 10 ain't bad What do you do when all that's coming down on you Says that you're older - you're older And every day you see the lines on every face And you feel older but none the wiser Tell me it's true - why don't you Tell me it's true as we grow older We should grow bolder Tell me it's true 'cause I would love to be like you Older and wiser, too

So many roads So many choices in this life So many wishes And this hope that never dies I never hesitate I know it can be mine And if I choose to be A master of disguise So many give their life Without a second doubt Too many die alone Don't die without a fight So many towers But no wizards ride the skies I'll take my chances with this ride As long as I'm alive As long as I'm alive So many mean so well But always do you harm Too many die in vain Why some will take up arms I never hesitate I know this life is mine I'll tell you what I need Without you I'll be fine Too many grains of sand And snakes hide in the grass So many hours And the walls are made of glass I never hesitate Don't care about the prize I'll take my chances with this ride As long as I'm alive As long as I'm alive And when the night comes down It makes no difference And when the night comes down I stand my ground As long as I'm alive If you're still standing now I guess you've got it made Out of this camouflage Out of this old charade You've built your paradise I've seen it so I know Too many lives are lost And plenty more to go Don't sell me paradise I know this heart of stone Hell-bent on sacrifice Leave me the hell alone Too many hearts Too many minds, too many doors Too many question And you've heard them all before Too many broken wheels Revolving ever more Some never will decide Some always seek control I'll take my chances with this ride As long as I'm alive As long as I'm alive
