1. Ascension

[Instrumental]

2. Kaleidoscope

I've waited so long to dry the tears from our eyes
Shut the world out, clear my mind
I'm locked inside until the end
and closed the gate to the lion's den
From nowhere, here you are
With me, you'll travel so far

Now we are so lost inside of our own maze
of warmer nights and brighter days
We run through the garden of eternal life
under the bright moonlight
I can hear your voice
calling me not far away
Waiting for your touch
to take away the pain

Now there are no more falling tears
I prayed this day would come
Now there are no more falling tears
You were the only one

When I am miles away, I can still hear you whisper
with your smile, your embrace
Now I know you're safe and warm
Thinking about tomorrow, we dream today away
Together, here we are,
and we have traveled so far

Now there are no more falling tears
away from the world outside
Now there are no more falling tears
in our Eden where we hide

3. Beyond The Horizon

The early morning sky here
is bringing me a new day's light
Taking me away from yesterday
There's so much more that lies ahead for me
Now I see beyond
where the water meets the warm sky
Dreaming awake - I'm staring at the sun!

I used to believe that heaven
were the clouds in the sky
Islands for the angels to fly to
I used to dream and wonder
if there could be a better place
Nothing can touch me there, so far away
Drifting away - beyond the horizon!

Our angels are our heroes
Some say heroes never die
They're surrounding me under my warm summer sky
Guide me and protect me
Spread my wings so I can fly beyond the horizon

What were you hoping for?
What were you waiting for?
Did you think your dream would just find you
and take you away?

What were you hoping for?
What were you waiting for?
Did you think your dream would just find you
and take you away?

Don't tear yourself apart
over things out of your control
Time passes so fast, you'll wonder where your life went
Too much wasted time holding on to yesterday

What were you hoping for?
What were you waiting for?
Did you think your dream would just find you
and take you away?

What were you hoping for?
What were you waiting for?
Did you think your dream would just find you
and take you away?

The sunlight of the spirit lies beyond the horizon

4. To Live Another Day

It's been a long road
getting to where we are today
It's been a hard road,
not as easy as one might say
Living through the winter
Dawn of a new day born from spring
The end of the sorrow and cold
Now life begins again
Another day - To live another day

It's been a long time
since I've seen a brighter day
It's been a hard time,
with a new hope lighting the way
Now is this the real me,
the one I'd lost for so many years?
It seems so hard to believe
I'm alive again, now I'm home
Another day - To live another day again

It's been a long, long road back home
Such a hard, long road back home

It's been a long, lonely road back home
Such a hard, dark road back home
Such a long time did I roam
this road back home
To live another day
To live another day, I'm home again

5. Dream-Catcher

"To see a world in a grain of sand
and a heaven in a wild flower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
and eternity in an hour."
[William Blake]

Time stands still as I hear the cold wind sing
One last passing glimpse in a pool of falling rain
A young bird trying to fly with broken wings
Catch your dream before it slips away

No longer is this a dream
Now I'm starting to believe
that I feel my soul floating on my angel's wings
No longer will I wander
Life's too short to wander
The coming of age always comes too soon
Catch your dream before it dies today

Heaven sent a miracle
Your destiny lies in your hand
Don't let it slip away
Heaven sent the world to you
Passion lies within your soul
Don't throw it all away
Heaven sent love to you
Open your heart, don't pass it by
This could be the last time
Heaven sent life for you,
but you can't seem to find your peace of mind
You live in...

A dream from the day that you were born
Your whole life you were scared to face the storm
A dream you refuse to believe
You'll never be in heaven without going through hell

A dream from the day that you were born
Your whole life you were scared to face the storm
A dream you refuse to believe
You'll never be in heaven without going through hell

I drift away out to sea
to dream and wonder what will be
I am a mariner of my own imagination
The horizon is my destination
Since I found a new way when I awoke one day,
a seed of hope was planted in the soil of disarray

Tomorrow lies another side of life
Catch your dream before it dies tonight

6. A Midsummer Night's Dream

Love surrounds us
Passion embraces us from all directions
Sharing our treasure in this harem of pleasure
Adrenaline rising, hearts are pounding
In a world filled with so much more than I can believe

Passionate visions turn my water into wine
Smoke blends with perfume in the air
The smell of sweat and the warm color of flesh
fills the night again and again
Now I can feel you so much closer to me

All so intoxicating in this ethereal paradise
with hungers of love and lust
In your mouth tasting many different fruits
Nothing is sacred, nothing is taboo
In a world filled with so much more than I can believe
Now I can feel you so much closer - So close to me

Once were two, many more so soon
We're just cherubs shooting arrows at the moon
I taste your fruit and you drink my wine
This way of life is so divine

This is our endless night,
filled with satin and white lace
Our endless delight
This menagerie we consummate
I know you won't pretend
this fantasy will ever end

This is our endless night
The dogma we so disbelieve
Our endless delight
in our midsummer night's dream

I know you won't pretend
this fantasy will ever end
Remember: Shakespeare is dead
You'll never see the fall again - Oh, never!
Now I know you can't pretend
this fantasy will ever end
Remember: Shakespeare is dead
and autumn will never come again

7. Aladdin

What is this? You've read my mind
How could you know what I was thinking?
Heart beating fast, now we're going in
I know what tonight is going to bring
Show it all off, show it off for me
Show it all off, beyond what the eye can see

Hardly believing what I'm really seeing
Now all are watching, but it's only for me
This exhibition brings submission
Visions of you, visions of two
I know what they know
Our world's surrounding you
I have what they want
They all want you now
Come play our game, take our hand

This brings us closer to forever
Hypnotically enhanced, erotic, in trance
This taste of blood you gave to me today
One I'd dream for again and relive another day
Now I'm home!

I love watching you
I love watching you
I love watching you
I love watching you
I love watching you
Show it all off, show it off for me
Show it all off, beyond what the eye can see

This brings us closer to forever
Hypnotically enhanced, erotic, in trance
This taste of blood you gave to me today
One I'd dream for again and relive another day

Here she comes, you know what I want
So stimulating, our worlds embracing
Another beautiful scene, it's so serene
Three wishes coming true for me
I know what they know
Our world's surrounding you
I have what they want
They all want you now
Come play our game, take our hand

8. Part 1 - Emerald Rain

I remember what once was and what can't be again
It's so hard daydreaming, knowing you can't go back
I've been trying and reaching to relive our yesterdays,
but they only live within our minds

Memories of long ago never seem to wash away
Alone I feel the falling rain, dreaming of what used to be
So much older now with so much yet to come
Still I find myself remembering

Emerald rain, hear my nostalgic serenade

Life brings us change, nothing remains the same
Tomorrow brings a new while the past fades away
I still can't help holding on to what was lost,
hoping one day I'll be whole again

Emerald rain, singing the swan song of yesterday

Our world is drifting so much farther away
as we mourn the loss of our yesterdays
Now only nostalgia remains
with the return of the morning rain

All that I want, all that I had,
and all that I gave but would never take
All that I fought, all that I cried,
and all that I kept deep down inside
All that I love, all that I hate,
and all of the things I did create
All that I was, all that I am
Is it all that I will be until the end?

9. Part 2 - I Remember When

I remember when
I had no worries and life was carefree
I remember when
summer lasted forever - no more
And I remember when
you were there for me, but now you're long gone
And I remember when I last saw your face,
but nothing lasts forever
Now I'm serene and I've found peace
I am whole now and ready to start again

I remember when
you cried for me and protected my heart
I remember when
life was easy, how did things fall apart?
And I remember when
nothing mattered, now everything's changing
And I remember when
I was near the end, but the end is so far away
Now I'm serene and I've found peace
I am whole now and ready to start again

Memories no one can ever take away,
even though time has changed the world around me
Memories no one can ever take away
They're not gone! No, they're not gone!

Memories no one can ever take away,
even though time has taken you from me
Memories I'll keep forever so you will live on
You're not gone! No, you'll always live on!

10. Part 3 - Through October Skies

In this new day, now I'm awake for the first time,
for the first day of the rest of my life
So strong and able to move on to live again today
To live another way now with a clear mind
Yesterday was the last time before the pain had died,
but today I'm alive, with the past far behind

Through October skies, my autumn's sunrise
It's the first sight of a new light
Through my world inside, ethereal moonlight
It's the first sight of the rest of our lives

Another fiery world of yellow and red
How could I have seen it again, our beginning and our end?
Autumn, I praise your painted sky that I adore
Celestial winds filling my soul once more

Through October skies, my autumn's sunrise
It's the first sight of a new light
Through a survivor's eyes, ethereal moonlight
It's the first sight of the rest of our lives

In this new life, the darkness has turned to light
The fear has died and the strong have survived
Now after so much time, I can move on
to live again today, another way,
with the end so far away

Through October skies, my autumn's sunrise
It's the first sight of a new light
Through my world inside, ethereal moonlight
It's the first sight of the rest of our lives

Then one day you came to me
Fate waited so many years
It knew that we were ready now
The search is over now that I found your soul
This is our destiny
The rest will be history

11. Ethereal

[Instrumental]

12. Midnight's Tide

Moonlight on the water, the sound of the ocean
Sitting by myself, I'm reflecting in the sand
Remembering my younger days
Now I'm back to where it all began
Everything is drifting away
throughout midnight's tide

There I first walked through Eden
under the October sky for the first time
I knew it was where I wanted to be
I knew it was where I wanted to stay
I will never forget what was born by a dream
I will never let go of what was given to me
I will never forget when I opened my eyes
to see what I was destined to be

Yesterday I returned to Eden
I saw myself as a child outside at play
With a look of content, not a care in the world
So unprepared for the darkness that would fall down upon him
I can't change the past, so why even try?
The future is drifting through midnight's tide

As a child, he was scared of tomorrow,
wasting many yesterdays being afraid
The spark of life never fueled the flame
Before long, the fire had faded away
I can't change the past, so why even try?

Here I am in Eden today
under the October sky again
Seeing myself face to face at last
Making my peace after so many years have passed

He knew who I was, but he was so scared
and so afraid of what I might say
I remember his sadness and feeling his fear
With every question, he shed so many more tears

"I can feel your pain like it was yesterday
But don't you be afraid, it will not last forever
I can tell you nothing more,
for I would change what will be
Just know that one day
all of your pain will end and you will be free..."
