Hiding in shadows, darkness approaching
I'm longing for the night to comfort me
I am the phoenix, burning my bridges
I'm forged in fire, cleansed by flames
A voice from within keeps telling me I should run
Where do I begin, I hide myself from the sun
From the sun – I have to run
Is there someone who will guide me
Who will help me find the answers
I need someone to appease my aching heart
Ancient and ageless, I am relentless
The scourge of time cannot take hold of me
My desolation, fear and frustration
I must take shelter in the dark
The voices inside keep telling me I must leave
My fate is to hide, to sneak away and retreat
I'll retreat – hiding indeed
Is there someone who will guide me
Who will help me find the answers
I need someone to appease my aching heart
Disillusion, sadness and fear
I am lost in the dark – I’m forever burning
Like a phoenix, burning again
But will I rise from the ash
Will I survive the flames
And live again, I'm born again
Flames all around me, magic has bound me
There's no escape and yet I still have hope
Slowly I'm burning, forever yearning
But soon I will be born again
The voice of my heart is crying out in despair
I'm falling apart and no one seems to take care
No one cares – it isn’t fair
Is there someone who will guide me
Who will help me find the answers
I need someone to appease my aching heart
Disillusion, sadness and fear
I am lost in the dark – I’m forever burning
Like a phoenix, burning again
But I will rise from the ash
I will survive the flames
Alive again, I'm born again
Oh, yes, I've been in love before
And I must admit it's been quite serious sometimes
But now I've met a man I adore
I can't stop thinking about him
He's on my mind all the time
Cannot imagine living without him
I'm lost in love again
When I see him tonight it will feel so right
Oh, I'm lost in love again
From his head to his feet he's the only boy I need
I'm lost in love
Oh, no, I'll never let him go
You must understand I've slept around for far too long
So now I really want you to know
I'm ready for this relation
Even if something goes wrong
I'd try to rescue the situation
I'm lost in love again
Just to see him tonight it will be so right
Oh, I'm lost in love again
Oh, his body's divine and tonight he will be mine
I'm lost in love
I need him with me forever
He is so gentle and kind
He is so tender and he's so clever
I'm lost in love again
When I see him tonight it will feel so right
Oh, I'm lost in love again
From his head to his feet he's the only boy I need
Oh, I'm lost in love again
Just to see him tonight it will be so right
Oh, I'm lost in love again
Oh, his body's divine and tonight he will be mine
I'm lost in love
Some time ago you left me here
On my own, all alone
Tomorrow you'll be back
Just for the night but that's alright
Baby, your voice so far away
On the phone turns me on
I need you here with me
My body yearns, this longing burns
Thinking of you, yes, I love you
Pretty baby, I am waiting
Will you hold me like you told me
Tomorrow night you will be mine
Waiting for you just drives me mad
Every day fades away
But when you're coming back
When you arrive I'm high on life
Thinking of you, yes, I love you
Pretty baby, I am waiting
Will you hold me like you told me
Tomorrow night you will be mine
Sometimes it seems the dream is real
Your handsome face is on my mind
Constantly, 'cause, you see
We share a perfect love
It's you and me eternally
Thinking of you, yes, I love you
Pretty baby, I am waiting
Will you hold me like you told me
Tomorrow night you will be mine
They say she's only growing older
But I just know they are wrong
Sometimes she cries and doesn't know why
She knows she's fading away a little each day
Fading away, away
They say she gets a little slower
That vacant look in her eyes
Tells me they're wrong
She used to be strong
But now she's fading away a little each day
She used to know their names
But now they're all the same
They come and they go
And she doesn't know who they were
The present means nothing to her
She's fading away, a little each day, away
They say she’s only growing older
The twilight hour of her life
Clear is the past, today doesn't last
She knows she's fading away a little each day
Fading away, away
Voices in the air, whispers in the night
Remnants of the past, the mystery of light
Light a candle in the church, light a light for me
I am broken, I am cursed, longing to be free
Ancient melodies drifting through my brain
Fill my memory, a history of pain
Painful searching for the truth, try to find a way
Somehow I have lost my youth and my life turned grey
Silently crying each time you go
No more denying: I need you so
Captured by a thought, fragments of delight
Sailing without aim, got no more strength to fight
Fight my fear of emptiness, chilling me inside
It gets harder to confess, every haunted night
Silently crying each time you go
No more denying: I need you so
I can't accept it's over, recalling every fight
Life is an endless night
Voices in the air, whispers in the night
Haunted by the dark, the promises of light
Light a candle in the church,light a light for me
I am broken, I am cursed, longing to be free
Silently crying each time you go
No more denying: I need you so
Life without you is cold and hard
Feels so useless now we're apart
So confusing, I am losing
Silent are my tears
Feels like something deep down inside
Was assaulted, then slowly died
All the suffering and the anguish
I can't take no more
So insecure
Don't pretend we're still friends
You should know by now it's not enough
Losing once again
I am the loser in the end
Never wanted to cause you pain
Seems my efforts have been in vane
I'm pretending, still defending
Distant you remain
I lose again
Don't pretend we're still friends
You should know by now
It's not enough
Losing once again
I am the loser in the end
It breaks my heart
Don't pretend we're still friends
You should know by now
It's not enough
Never enough
No, no, no
I sit in my room
As I drift away in a dream of December
I see what's to come
I long for the magical month
Of December
And I see the snowflakes fall from the sky
With my mind's eye
And I hear the jingle bells ringing clear
With my mind's ear - December is near
Christmas trees, magic breeze
Blowing through the land
Christmas bells, magic spells
All at my command
The friends, relatives
I give all the love that I have in December
The presents, the joy
I share all the warmth of my heart
In December
And I see the snowflakes fall from the sky
With my mind's eye
And I hear the Christmas bells ringing clear
With my mind's ear - December is near
Christmas trees, magic breeze
Blowing through the land
Christmas bells, magic spells
All at my command
And I see the snowflakes fall from the sky
With my mind's eye
And I hear the jingle bells ringing clear
With my mind's ear - December is near
Thought I was tough, thought I was cold
I could control my emotions
I built a fence around my heart
You tore it down in a moment
I wish that I could hold you tonight
It hurts me inside now it's over
'Cause there is someone else in your heart
It tears me apart, I can't take it
You're the only one that I want
You broke down the barricades I erected around my heart
I thought I was incapable of feeling anything
But now you have gone away and I'm crying all of the time
It seems so useless to throw away all we shared
You, you're all I really want
You're all I really need, I feel it in my heart
He, he's no good for you, boy
He'll never change inside, it's tearing me apart
Now you are gone I'm so alone
I realize how I miss you
Can't let it go, want you to know
How much it hurts here without you
They say there’s someone else that you love
He forced you to choose between us
I understand he's part of your heart
But he'll never change and I love you
You're the only one that I want
You broke down the barricades I erected around my heart
I thought I was incapable of feeling anything
But now you have gone away and I'm crying all of the time
It seems so useless to throw away all we shared
You, you're all I really want
You're all I really need, I feel it in my heart
He, he's no good for you, boy
He'll never change inside, it's tearing me apart
You're the only one that I want
You broke down the barricades I erected around my heart
I thought I was incapable of feeling anything
But now you have gone away and I'm crying all of the time
It seems so useless to throw away all we shared
Being with you, it feels so good, talking to you
Being your friend, it feels so right, it's all I need
I've never ever met a man like you before
I've never ever been so open-hearted
When you're around I feel so safe and so secure
When you're not here I think of you every hour
I'll never ever let someone tear this apart
I'll never ever try to hurt your feelings
Just eighteen days I was by your side
Just eighteen days, I never knew
how much I cared until somebody told you
You shouldn't see me anymore - it broke my heart
Just eighteen days I was by your side
Just eighteen days, you'll never know
How much I cried because somebody told you
You shouldn't see me anymore - it broke my heart
Because all I really wanted was to be your friend
But your lover didn't see it, couldn't understand
And I never got to show you
Just how right it felt to be with you
Each time we meet, each time we talk I learn a lot
Everything seems to make sense when you are near
I'd never ever make you choose
Against yourself
I'd never ever force my will upon you
Just eighteen days I was by your side
Just eighteen days, I never knew
how much I cared until somebody told you
You shouldn't see me anymore - it broke my heart
Just eighteen days I was by your side
Just eighteen days, you'll never know
How much I cried because somebody told you
You shouldn't see me anymore - it broke my heart
And I don't think I can take it
If you can't make up your mind
Summer night, glass of wine
Then I saw you arrive
Looking good, feeling fine
Now I'm glad I'm alive
Azure eyes look at me and drive me wild
I admire everything that you say or do
My desire’s breaking free just like a fire
Every night you are mine
And my love for you is true
Walking through the park
Birds lead us into the dawn with a song
Magic all around
This mystic sunrise, so pure - now I'm sure
We are as one, beautiful friend
This will not end, this lasts forever
Azure eyes Look at me and drive me wild
I admire everything that you say or do
My desire’s breaking free just like a fire
Every night you are mine…
Summer night, perfect sky
You and me in the moonshine
Each time you take me high
I am yours and you're all mine
Azure eyes Look at me and drive me wild
I admire everything that you say or do
My desire’s breaking free just like a fire
Every night you are mine
And my love for you is true
Lying on the beach
You look so good with a tan - I'm your man
So much love inside
All my emotions break free - stay with me
I am so sure you'll never leave
And I believe this lasts forever
Azure eyes look at me and drive me wild
I admire everything that you say or do
My desire’s breaking free just like a fire
Every night you are mine
And my love for you is true
So tell me, what were your intentions some time ago
When you spent the night with me
And tell me, did it make you feel good
I need to know if it felt alright with me
I shied away again and again
When I couldn't cope with pain
I thought we'd be forever friends
Have my efforts been in vain
Desperately trying not to fall into the void
It seems our love has been destroyed
And, yes, I am definitely crying
Now the nightmare has come true
But, baby, I want to be with you
So tell me, what about the impact it had on us
We have played a dangerous game
I don't know how to make you happy
I realize things will never be the same
Does it occur to you, my friend
We were trapped inside a cage
For months I have expected the end
Will our love turn into rage
Desperately trying not to fall into the void
It seems our love has been destroyed
And, yes, I am definitely crying
Now the nightmare has come true
But, baby, I want to be with you
So hard to live without you, my love
Zur Mitternacht lausche ich der Stille
Alles ist nun ruhig
Hier in diesem Wohnung, nur eine Kerze
Sehnt sich nach dem Licht
Zur Mitternacht
Zur Mitternacht, nur Erinnerungen
An mein vergeudetes Leben
Hier in meinem Herzen
Sehne mich nach der Dämmerung
Solche Einsamkeit zur Mitternacht
Warte auf jemanden der mich tröstet
Rette mich
Zur Mitternacht flehe ich um Erlösung
Kann ich den Schmerz ertragen
Hier in diesen Worten
Finde ich Vergebung
Hoffe auf Befreiung zur Mitternacht
Warte auf jemanden der mich tröstet
Rette mich
Dis-moi pourquoi est-ce que c’est difficile
Te dire combien je t’aime, te dire comme je me sens
Quand tu me prends dans tes bras
Je suis ce que je suis à toi
Changer à l’autre
Ah bien, je sais ce que je t’aime beaucoup
Te tiens en haute estime et je me sens heureux
Quand je te prends dans mes bras
Tu es ce que tu es à moi
Changer à l’autre
Il y a longtemps
Que j’ai perdu mon innocence
Je me souviens des nuits sauvages
Du vin, de la dance
Mais avec toi j’ai retrouvé la tranquillité
Je suis ce que je suis à toi
Tu es ce que tu es à moi
Changer à l’autre.
Now I am searching
A journey begins
Searching within for the truth
And I am drifting
Conclusion forgone
Still I go on, I believe we will be free
Now I am searching
How could I foresee
You couldn’t flee from your fate
And I am drifting
Now I’m left behind
Losing my mind to the past
While you’re gone
Is there a reason to go on
Nowhere to run, no place to go
Still I love you so
Now I am searching
I gave you my soul
Total control over me
And I am drifting
Forever your friend
I won’t pretend, I believe we will be free
Now I am searching
Someday you’ll return
All my concerns disappear
And I am drifting
We gather at last
Fighting the past once again
While you’re gone
Is there a reason to go on
Nowhere to run, no place to go
Still I love you so
Are we estranged
Amazing how things have changed
Since I told you how I feel
Did I go too far
Did I break your heart, are we apart
Do you feel used, are you confused
Sometimes you say you still love me
But then you change once again
Dearest friend
Are we estranged
My life has been rearranged
When I walked away from you
I’m crying each night
It doesn’t feel right, hurting inside
I’m losing you, what can I do
There’s never enough time
To find a solution for our problems
Does it matter to you how much I care
This is the moment we've dreaded for years
Releasing our fears, moving on
Are we estranged
Fields are covered in snow
Trees have lost their leaves
Here the chilling winds blow
Oh, my emerald isle
Then, in the distance, I hear a sound
A voice cuts through the silence of the night
Immortality sublime
A spirit in the forest summons me
Tears begin to fall as I answer to the call
I hear the wail of the banshee
Announcing death, resurrection
The wail of the Banshee
Immortal spirit of death
Now I roam in a dream
Destiny unknown
She approaches, I scream
Oh, my emerald isle
Then, when she holds me, I fade away
A haze appears and shrouds us both in white
Immortality divine
Eternal light, and then, eternal life
Slowly I ascend, I know death is not the end
Reincarnation
Fear is fading fast, I am free for good at last
I hear the wail of the banshee
Announcing death, resurrection
The wail of the Banshee
Immortal spirit of death
I am tired of fighting you
And I'm fed up with crying
I just want your tenderness tonight
We will talk about it in the morning
I've been trying
Just to find some answers, some replies
But tonight, comfort me
Ease my pain tenderly
If you give me time to think
About the love inside me
I will try to tell you what I feel
Please don't try to rush me, baby
Please don't try to guide me
I just need some space to make it real
So tonight, comfort me
Ease my pain tenderly
Please don't talk, just be still
I love you, always will
Don't hurt me, just be kind
Be my friend, just be mine
Be gentle, hold my hand
Until dawn, understand
Try to understand how hard it is
To show emotion
No one ever taught me to express
But you've known for quite a while
About the true devotion
Deep inside of me, you could have guessed
So don't talk, just be still
I love you, always will
And tonight, comfort me
Ease my pain tenderly
Don't hurt me, just be kind
Be my friend, just be mine
Be gentle, hold my hand
Until dawn, understand
Don't hurt me
Feels like heaven
When I listen to your voice
And realize just how much I love you
I am touched every time
You whisper of our endless love, my love
You whisper of our love
Feels like heaven
Just to look into your eyes
And realize I will never lose you
Now I know we will touch eternity
And finally you’re here with me
You are here with me tonight
Tonight, my love, tonight
I'll hold you in my arms tonight
Beside you 'till the morning light
Tonight
Feels like heaven
For I’ll dedicate my life to you, my love
You're the only person
You will bring happiness into my heart
Let’s make a start tonight
You are here with me tonight
Tonight, my love, tonight
I'll hold you in my arms tonight
Beside you 'till the morning light
Tonight you're mine completely
'Till the morning light
Tonight
SHALL EARTH NO MORE INSPIRE THEE
Shall earth no more inspire thee,
Thou lonely dreamer now?
Since passion may not fire thee,
Shall nature cease to bow?
Thy mind is ever moving,
In regions dark to thee;
Recall its useless roving,
Come back, and dwell with me.
I know my mountain breezes
Enchant and soothe thee still,
I know my sunshine pleases,
Despite thy wayward will.
When day with evening blending,
Sinks from the summer sky,
I've seen thy spirit bending
In fond idolatry.
I've watched thee every hour;
I know my mighty sway:
I know my magic power
To drive thy griefs away.
Few hearts to mortals given,
On earth so wildly pine;
Yet few would ask a heaven
More like this earth than thine.
Then let my winds caress thee
Thy comrade let me be:
Since nought beside can bless thee,
Return--and dwell with me.
Life and Thought have gone away
Side by side,
Leaving door and windows wide.
Careless tenants they!
All within is dark as night:
In the windows is no light;
And no murmur at the door,
So frequent on its hinge before.
Close the door; the shutters close;
Or through the windows we shall see
The nakedness and vacancy
Of the dark deserted house.
Come away: no more of mirth
Is here or merry-making sound.
The house was builded of the earth,
And shall fall again to ground.
Come away: for Life and Thought
Here no longer dwell;
But in a city glorious -
A great and distant city -have bought
A mansion incorruptible.
Would they could have stayed with us!
Fair tree! for thy delightful shade
'Tis just that some return be made;
Sure some return is due from me
To thy cool shadows, and to thee.
When thou to birds dost shelter give,
Thou music dost from them receive;
If travellers beneath thee stay
Till storms have worn themselves away,
That time in praising thee they spend
And thy protecting pow'r commend.
The shepherd here, from scorching freed,
Tunes to thy dancing leaves his reed;
Whilst his lov'd nymph, in thanks, bestows
Her flow'ry chaplets on thy boughs.
Shall I then only silent be,
And no return be made by me,
No; let this wish upon thee wait,
And still to flourish be thy fate.
To future ages may'st thou stand
Untouch'd by the rash workman's hand,
Till that large stock of sap is spent,
Which gives thy summer's ornament;
Till the fierce winds, that vainly strive
To shock thy greatness whilst alive,
Shall on thy lifeless hour attend,
Prevent the axe, and grace thy end;
Their scatter'd strength together call
And to the clouds proclaim thy fall;
Who then their ev'ning dews may spare
When thou no longer art their care,
But shalt, like ancient heroes, burn,
And some bright hearth be made thy urn.
The lopped tree in time may grow again,
Most naked plants renew both fruit and flower;
The sorest wight may find release of pain,
The driest soil suck in some moist'ning shower;
Times go by turns and chances change by course,
From foul to fair, from better hap to worse.
The sea of Fortune doth not ever flow,
She draws her favours to the lowest ebb;
Her tides hath equal times to come and go,
Her loom doth weave the fine and coarsest web;
No joy so great but runneth to an end,
No hap so hard but may in fine amend.
Not always fall of leaf nor ever spring,
No endless night yet not eternal day;
The saddest birds a season find to sing,
The roughest storm a calm may soon allay:
Thus with succeeding turns God tempereth all,
That man may hope to rise, yet fear to fall.
A chance may win that by mischance was lost;
The net that holds no great, takes little fish;
In some things all, in all things none are crost,
Few all they need, but none have all they wish;
Unmeddled joys here to no man befall:
Who least, hath some; who most, hath never all.
