They came for him one winter's night Arrested he was bound They said there'd been a robbery his pistol had been found
They marched him to the station house he waited till the dawn And as they led him to the dock he knew that he'd been wronged You stand accused of robbery he heard the bailiff say He knew without an alibi tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom Over the hills and far away for ten long years he'll count the days Over the mountains and the seas a prisoner's life for him there'll be He knew that it would cost him dear but yet he dare not say Just where he had been that fateful night a secret it must stay He had to fight back tears of rage His heart beat like a drum For with the wife of his best friend he'd spent his final night of freedom Over the hills and far away he swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and the seas back in her arms again he'll be Over the hills and far away
Each night within his prison cell he looks out through the bars He reads the letters that she wrote One day he'll know the taste of freedom Over the hills and far away she prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas back in his arms again she'll be Over the hills and far away he swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and the seas back in her arms again he'll be Over the hills and far away she prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas back in his arms again she'll be
Today I killed, he was just a boy Eight before him I knew them all In the fields of dying oath: I'd kill them all to save my own
Cut me free Bleed with me Oh, no One by one We will fall Down down Pull the plug End the pain Run'n fight for life Hold on tight This ain't my fight
Deliver me from this war It's not for me it's because of You Devil's instant my eternity Obey to kill to save yourself
Cut me free...
"I envy the 9 lives that gave me hell. My path made up by their torn bodies. Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust... Call me a coward but I can't take it anymore"
They wait for me back home They live with eyes turned away They were the first ones to see They are the last ones to bleed
"The ultimate high as all beautiful dies. A ruler's tool, priest's excuse, tyrant's delight... I alone, Great White Hunter. I'll march till the dawn brings me rest. 10th patriot at the gallow's pole!"
The days were brighter Gardens more blooming The nights had more hope In their silence The wild was calling Wishes were whispering The time was there But without a meaning
Away, away in time Every dreamas a journey away Away to a home away from care Everywhereas just a journey away
The days departed Gardens deserted This frail world My only rest ?
The wild calls no more Wishes so hollow The Barefoot Boy Weeping in an empty night
Away...
Cherish the moment Tower the skies Donat let the dreamer Fade to grey like grass
No falling for life A gain for every loss Time gathered me But kept me flying
"For this gift of dream I must pay the price With the loss of lifeas pleasures"
A nocturnal concerto 밤의 협주곡 Candlelight whispers me where to go 촛불이 내게 어디로 가는지를 귓속말해 주었죠 Hymn of gathering stars as my guide 나의 가이드인 별을 모으는 것에 대한 찬가 As I wander on this path of the night 내가 이 밤의 길 위를 헤맨 것과 같이.
Embroidery of the stars 별들의 자수 Undress my feelings for this earth 이 지구를 향한 내 감정들을 벗겨내고 Send me your salva to heal my scars 내 상처를 치료하기 위해 내게 당신의 구조를 보내고 And let this nakedness me my birth 그리고 이 무방비 상태의 나를 탄생시켜 주었죠 Macrocosm poured its powers on me 대우주는 그것의 힘을 나에게 부어주었죠 And the hopes of this world I now must leave 그리고 이 세계의 희망들인 나는 이제 떠나야만 하죠 The nightwish I sent you centuries ago 내가 몇 세기 전에 당신에게 보낸 소원의 밤 Has been heard by those Who dwelled in a woe 고뇌 속에서 살았던 저들이 불러왔던.
The distance of our bridal bed 우리 혼례의 침대까지의 거리 Await for me to be dead 내가 죽을 때까지 기다리는 Dust of the galaxies take my hand 우주의 먼지가 나의 손을 잡고 Lead me to my beloved's land 나를 가장 사랑했던 땅으로 이끌어요
Departed by the guillotine of death 죽음의 길로틴에서 죽었고 I received a letter from the depth 나는 심연에서 온 편지를 받았죠 The dream of my lover it carried inside 내가 사랑하는 이의 꿈이 그것을 내 마음속으로 가져왔어요
Caressed by the sharpest knife 가장 날카로운 칼을 껴안은 I asked you to be my wife 당신에게 나는 내 아내가 되어달라 했죠 Rays of the setting sun 지는 태양의 빛이 Were my tears wept upon promises undone 이루어지지 않은 약속 때문에 내 눈물은 흘렀죠
Come to me 내게 와요 Make me believe to you and your love again 내게 당신과 당신의 사랑을 다시 믿도록 해 봐요
Above the universe 우주 위에서 Beneath the Great Eye 위대한 눈 아래에서 I shall desire you forevermore 나는 당신을 영원히 바랄 겁니다...
For whom the gun tolls For whom the prey weeps Bow before a war Call it religion
Some wounds never heal Some tears never will Dry for the unkind Cry for mankind
Even the dead cry - Their only comfort Kill your friend, I don`t care Orchid kids, blinded stare
Need to understand No need to forgive No truth no sense left to be followed
"Facing this unbearable fear like meeting an old friend" "Time to die, poor mates, You made me what I am!"
"In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way" "Your praying is in vain It`ll all be over soon" "Father help me, save me a place by your side!" "There is no god Our creed is but for ourselves"
"Not a hero unless you die Our species eat the wounded ones"
"Drunk with the blood of your victims I do feel your pity-wanting pain, Lust for fame, a deadly game"
"Run away with your impeccable kin!"
"- Good wombs hath borne bad sons..." Cursing, God, why? Falling for every lie Survivors` guilt In us forevermore
15 candles Redeemers of this world Dwell in hypocrisy: "How were we supposed to know?"
Naked in midwinter magic Lies an angel in the snow The frozen figure crossed by tracks of wolves An encounter symbolic yet truthful With a hungry choir of wolves An agreement immemorial to be born
Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest Accompany wall the charming tunes Of a sacrament by a campfire A promise between the tameless And the one with a tool Tonight the journey from a cave begins
I want to hunt with the tameless heart I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar We will honor the angel in the snow We will make the streams for our children flow
Wrapped in furs beneath the northern lights From my cave I watch the land untamed And wonder if some becoming season Will make the angel melt in shame
We're walking in the air We're floating in the moonlit sky The people far below are sleeping as we fly I'm holding very tight I'm riding in the midnight blue I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the world The villages go by like trees The rI'vers and the hills The forests and the streams Children gaze open mouth Taken by surprise Nobody down below believes their eyes We're surfing in the air We're swimming in the frozen sky We're drifting over icy Mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep Arousing of a mighty monster from it's sleep
We're walking in the air We're floating in the midnight sky And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly I'm holding very holding very tight I'm riding in the midnight blue I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Beauty and the Beast Remember the first dance we shared? Recall the night you melted my ugliness away? The night you left with a kiss so kind Only a send of beauty left behind
Ah dear friend I remember the night The moon and the dreams we shared Your trembling paw in my hand Dreaming of that northern land Touching me with a kiss of a beast
I know my dreams are made of you Of you and only for you Your ocean pulls me under Your voice tears me asunder Love me before the last petal falls
As a world without a glance Of the ocean's fair expanse Such the world would be If no love did flow in thee But as my heart is occupied Your love for me now has to die Forgive me I need more than you can offer me
Didn't you read the tale Where happily ever after was to kiss a frog? Don't you know this tale In which all I ever wanted I'll never have For who could ever learn to love a beast?
However cold the wind and rain I'll be there to ease your pain However cruel the mirrors of sin Remember beauty is found within
...Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you...

At the grove I met the rest - the folk of my fantasies Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies Snowman, Willow, trolls and the seven dwarves The path goes forever on
The way to the lands...
As I return to my room And as sleep takes me by my hand Madrigals from the woods Carry me to neverland In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight
