The Heart of the Matter
Is it real What I feel Bleed from my heart Tearing all apart Was it I who cut my soul Believing I'd be free Free from my mind If my heart is telling the truth Oh - now wth would it lie? But I just can see How long have I been asleep in your desperate arms? How long has this all around me been dreams? How long have I been trying to survive Knowing I'll die With you in my arms Is it blood Running through these veins I feel I'm burning Turning back again Was it you who cut my soul Believing you'd be free Free forevermore My heart is telling the truth (There's no such thing as the truth) No! It can never lie And now I see [Solo: Silver] [Pre-Chorus Solo: Byberg]

Rushing through the woods again I hope this night will never end Never mind the shouts and screams They cannot break into our dreams I was not prepared to move this fast A race against the light Running to you again Why? I don't understand 'Cuz my heart's never missed A single beat for love Oh but I - I still try to steal away the light In the shadows with a desperate glare I felt a thousand heartbeats pierce the air I have made a choice to have no fear But now it feels like more than I can bear If i burn all the bridges down If I turn all waters to sand I'll still find a way Running to you again Why? I don't understand 'Cuz my heart's never missed A single beat for love Oh but I - I still try to steal away the light Burn the bridge to the ground Cast your fears away Turn the waters to sand Let night swallow the day And so I - I will try to steal away the light [Solo: Silver] [Pre-Chorus Solo: Byberg]

Darkness came in persuasive ways All safe and clam beneath the thick Laughing sound On shifting ground Oh - the stars have deceived me I can't go back We're past point of reason Can you still see me? You're the one who always hear me when I call You're the one who always catch me where I fall Blinded and bound - I'm still awaiting to be found Darkness came and turned (all) colors pale Caught me in a soothing veil Until I broke In one final choke Oh - I can see a new dawn But no one's ahead We're past point of reason The stars have deceived me You're the one who always hear me when I call You're the one who always catch me where I fall When darkness descends - can you still see me? You're the strength when the worlds are colliding You're the scream when my breaking heart's crying Blinded and bound - I'm still awaiting to be found [Solo 1: Silver] [Solo 2: S. Mularoni]

Calm Like the deepest sea Gently rolling An anthem to the lost, a message to believers But it's always hard To see lights slowly fading Where your sound once ruled, a whispered memory lasts I know you feel that it's not fair That I'm the one who got left here Nothing will change, but nothing will stay just the same I know you think You know the name Of this game we are playing We'll meet again but thing's won't be the same So I ask of you to Forgive me But I can't remember How I used to love you How I used to care Believe me I wish I could take your tears Cast away the heartache Start over new Strange How everything I know Suddenly change This mirror to my soul Have lost all its reflection Time will change the wounds Like waves across the shoreline A never-ending trial between the heart and (the) mind I know you feel that it's not fair That I'm the one who got left here Nothing will change, but nothing will stay just the same I know you think You know the name Of this game we are playing We'll meet again but thing's won't be the same So I ask of you to Forgive me But I can't remember How I used to love you How I used to care Believe me I wish I could take your tears Cast away the heartache Start over new [Solo: Silver]

Her story was strong But when she let go There was no sound, nothing was changed But in the farthest distance Where night falls to day One star could but linger To make sure not all would forget The world will turn a thousand times more Waves will rise but not all will reach (the) shore Forever in your heart You'll hear the beating sound of dreams The echo in your sleep That keeps you on your feet Falling skies or shooting stars Can never take from you All you know as true It always will shine through Hours turned into the past But for the stars time stopped The echo of her Gave the fairest sound The richest of souls in (the) weakest of hosts Or the strongest of hearts who still fall apart Will always find love among the brightest of stars And never be gone When they let go The world will turn a thousand times more Waves will rise but not all will reach (the) shore Forever in your heart You'll hear the beating sound of dreams The echo in your sleep That keeps you on your feet Falling skies or shooting stars Can never take from you All you know as true It always will shine through [Solo: Silver]

Burn - all that used to be The memories of me Crawling through fields of thorns Flames - the mercy of the flames That merciless will change This rotten hand I've been dealt In my heart there's no doubt There's only one way out I remember, bold pretender Wrestling in the dark The fuel of life cuts like a knife To all but you So I surrender to my Contender And (I) leave this field When there no rules we'll all be fools Left on our own Lights - brighter than the sun Always made me run From demons not of my mind Falling to my knees again 'Cuz I cannot pretend That I do not see the thief Who claims this wealth Prove to me your lies And justify the cries But in my mind there's no doubt There's only one way out I remember, bold pretender Wrestling in the dark The fuel of life cuts like a knife To all but you So I surrender to my Contender And (I) leave this field When there no rules we'll all be fools Left on our own [Solo 1: Silver] [Solo 2: Byberg]

I have reached the final door At the end of this hall I'll turn the key and hope to see New horizons To leave behind a lifelong song To search again where I belong Can I have it all if I stay strong In silent waters? The more I scream into darkness The more I must realize The safety of your embrace I must leave behind As I call your name All I hear is the sound of my voice And nothing can save me from myself If I never yield Will I find my own grace And will I (will I) find the strength to save myself? The road will lead a million ways And the truth (will) take million shapes The perfect fate's but mine to make Through darkest hour Charted lands have crashed and burned Uncharted paths have made you learn To never trust, but keep the faith In silver linings The more I scream into darkness The more I must realize The safety of your embrace I must leave behind As I call your name All I hear is the sound of my voice And nothing can save me from myself If I never yield Will I find my own grace And will I (will I) find the strength to save myself?

The air felt like razor-sharp blades The ground white with shards of glass A fire within flared through my skin Opened (up) my eyes to find you With my soul aflame I searched you A fever beyond control A fortress pf rage - Emotional cage Infernal reason No one waits ahead No one walks behind Though my throat is dry I know I'll find The echoed light Relentless is my fight for you My only cause that is true Let the Spark inside ignite Always changing through time But always burns in this heart of mine The echoed light No trust was ever broken No promise was ever made Contempt and demise the Pure Heart defied So I could feel you Inside the corrupted heartbeat I got convinced to break And so I released the one hope I'd seized And set my soul in limbo No ghost of (the) past No future crown to claim Through the fires I know I will find The echoed light Relentless is my fight for you My only cause that is true Let the Spark inside ignite Always changing through time But always burns in this heart of mine The echoed light [Solo: J.

A twisted soul in endless search Navigates by echoed star maps Deep within he knows the words A twisted heart in need of love Don't understand where the truth lies Deep within she knows the words One heartbeat - (will) show you which way to go To reach what your soul already knows Can you feel me - like I feel you A heartbeat where the sound of my soul shines through There is no right - there is no wrong In this sphere where the sound of my soul is born A twisted mind, lost and blind Never asks but always wonder Death changes everything Grace your heart with thousand songs Make sure they are all to remember Is there still hope for us? One heartbeat - (will) show you which way to go To reach what your soul already knows Can you feel me - like I feel you A heartbeat where the sound of my soul shines through There is no right - there is no wrong In this sphere where the sound of my soul is born [Solo: Silver]

Slowly She let him tear her heart a million ways Would there be a remedy? At some point They would agree to leave the past behind She would forgive, he would forget The words will slowly fade But not the damage done Though darkness leaves you blind What you search can be found Building walls to challenge fate But if that's all that you make No one will hear you when you try to break through Look at me - say I'm alright Tell me I was right to fight I swear to you there was no other way I keep searching for that spark Alone I'm stumbling in the dark Though the ground feels weak it will carry you the same And so She kept repeating: "It's for the greater good. It's just all misunderstood" One day In silent words she could not understand She would find Her remedy The words will slowly fade But not the damage done Though darkness leaves you blind What you search can be found Building walls to challenge fate But if that's all that you make No one will hear you when you try to break through Look at me - say I'm alright Tell me I was right to fight I swear to you there was no other way I keep searching for that spark Alone I'm stumbling in the dark Though the ground feels weak it will carry you the same [Solo: Silver]

Please won't you tell a story? About something extraordinary I won't interrupt, I'll pay close attention But make sure it is exciting With passion and rivals fighting But most of all; make a happy ending I need to believe in Something transcending Daydreams - when the lights go out Hold my hand as my heart burst in the night Blessed are the believers In the dark she gathered pieces of her heart In the light she kept them out of sight All along she asked why she wasn't worth a fight And the truth she knew still could not be proved So the lies still reigned in disguise And all along she asked why Love wasn't worth a fight Was it worth her fight? Can I close my eyes now? So I can perfectly see how The magic appears and takes darkness from this place Maybe then I can learn How to make them all burn These stories of old, so I can write new ones I need to believe in Something transcending Daydreams - when the lights go out Hold my hand as my heart burst in the night Blessed are the believers In the dark she gathered pieces of her heart In the light she kept them out of sight All along she asked why she wasn't worth a fight And the truth she knew still could not be proved So the lies still reigned in disguise And all along she asked why Love wasn't worth a fight Was it worth her fight?

The air is not the same Somehow more quiet now The colors have no flare A feeling I can't compare Like flames without heat One moment That stole us Like children we believed Always the pure of heart Always the strongest part Always hope will be found Reclaim our virgin ground Stronger day by day Questions that we feared to ask Our hearts cut wide open Lost in the deepest ocean Do we dare remain brave?
