Go! Now we have to face another day You won't be alone This life is forcing us to stay - For how long? Cold is the wind and thunder struck on a stormy night But can't you see, I'm by your side We are marching on! Chorus 1: Follow your steps and you will find The unknown ways are in your mind Need nothing else than just your pride to get there... Chorus 2: So, carry on, There's a meaning to life Which someday we may find Carry on, it's time to forget The remains from the past, to carry on Solo: Kiko / Rafael Chorus 1 & 2 So, carry on, There's a meaning to life Which someday we may find Carry on, it's time to forget The remains from the past Carry on, it's time to forget The remains from the past, to carry on (2) The remains from the past... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Time (Matos, Bittencourt) 5:54 This time I wanna know what life means... To live it again I'm looking forward, feel the light shine in my eyes And now I know, my instincts were not wrong, And many things can be done I don't believe now, That I'm dreaming alone Oh, we're searching for the love That everyone's got, but can't see - yeah Oh, beyond the flesh and blood There's so much hidden behind As so much more we've gotta give... Sanity brings up the sadness that keeps your illusions locked In a little box Fright comes, you find yourself lonely in a cage of conclusions Crowding your mind You sit back bowing your head, every answer - yes Why don't you trust me And shed out your fears, running over The tears you've contained now cover up your eyes, - Is it good for you? I will be here when fire burns! Welcome on board over here is the ship of your life So rotten that will cast away I'll be your sweet lullaby all the night And if you get lost you can hold my hand Chorus 1: And I'll be here when fire burns Inside your heart Climb up the hills and mountains, Don't forget what you've learned! Chorus 2: Life make us feel the time we cannot hold Time make us live a tale already told Time make us heal a feeling inside A feeling that lies in your heart that we stole ... away Solo: Kiko Chorus 1 & 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Angels Cry (Matos, Bittencourt) 6:47 Cry in the night of the angel For their light will never shine With their hearts so full of sorrow Muddy waters all around The curtain falls for helpless souls How they suffer swept aside And the raging streams are flowing with so little hope inside Chorus 1: It's like Angels crying Can't take no more Angels dying Capture their fall Chorus 2: Try to see this misery Your future is not what you wished it to be So try to fly, the answer lies In the angry darkened skies - angry darkened skies Chorus 3: You just keep on standing in these fields all your life You sow the seeds that never grow No harvest comes such a strain to feed the few Still you're waiting, it's in vain... The change must come right now! Solo: Kiko Oh, see the sun in the sky - from the dawn of destruction Free, free this chain from my heart - chain, chain, chain Hear the cry of angels From this life you cannot hide The change may come tomorrow for the solemn weeping eyes Chorus 1, 2, 3 Angels are crying and dying There must be some way Endless you stray, still you pray for a better life Nobody sees when a glimpse of your target lies behind you Like steps of the pilgrims unshined! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Stand Away (Bittencourt) 4:55 Stand away the dreaded burning fire Will leave its mark for those with no desire Stand in front of the whole creation Face the people starved like worms Still I'm begging for comprehension From the ones who rules us all Chorus 1: In this field the dying embers soil All around we mourn Oh, here they come again Now they're coming more aggressive tearing down our only chances The stars can't find the purple sky Loneliness will find its reason treasured seed for every season Long for the day be back someday And the church Church is selling consolation killing Jesus for salvation Don't let us die Let me rest in peace Away, a while Our smile taken from The hearts of broken souls Stand away from the fire Destined by the fate Let those sinners pay how they steal For on the judgement day How they yield Stand in front of the whole creation Face the people starved like worms Still I'm begging for comprehension From the ones who rules us all Chorus 1 & 2 Oh, here they come again Now they're coming more aggressive tearing down our only chances The stars can't find the purple sky Loneliness will find its reason treasured seed for every season Long for the day be back someday And the church Church is selling consolation killing Jesus for salvation Don't let us die Taking all in desperation leave me now to rest in peace Rest in peace Let me rest in peace... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Never Understand (Matos, Bittencourt) 7:48 White gold, a morning came Sunny cold, reflecting light Unknown songs Fresh water gush licks the lime Sprinkling crowns of silence The face wet from the moistened dew Wind takes the sight Around the meadow Playing kindly Silver dropped wine That flows inside a sleeping hand... Desperation fills the air In your heart lies the dust of the anger Madness knocking on my back Chiming bells have announced the new day My courage lies someplace where time forgot to send me Now where are you going? Now where are you going now? Someday they'll mark your sins like torture on your back Chorus 1: I wonder why my mind is tight like stormy weather And so it seems that little steps would take forever Chorus 2: Oh, never understand... We're like mad horses heading for the bend This place I'm standing here Made it on my own Moored my life to never let it go... Solo: Kiko Chorus 1 & 2 All my life I've been away I won't forget All my life is never understand Solo: Sasha Paeth / Kai Hansen / Kiko / Rafael / Dirk Schla:chter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush) 4:38 (from Kate Bush "The Kick Inside" (1981)) Out on the wiley, windy moors We'd roll and fall in green You had a temper, like my jealousy Too hot, too greedy How could you leave me? When I needed to possess you I hated you, I loved you too... Chorus 1: Bad dreams in the night, They told me I was going to loose the fight Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering, wuthering heights Chorus 2: Heathcliff, It's me, Cathy Come home, I'm so cold Let me in-a-your window Chorus 2 Oh, it gets dark, it gets lonely On the other side from you I pine a lot, I find the lot Falls through without you I'm coming back, love Cruel Heathcliff My one dream, my only master... Chorus 1 & 2 Chorus 2 Oh, let me have it, Let me grab away your soul Oh, let me have it, Let me grab away your soul You know it's me You know - yeah Solo: Kiko Chorus 2 (2) Heathcliff, It's me, Cathy Come home, I'm so cold... Heathcliff, It's me, Cathy Come home, I'm so cold - yeah ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Streets Of Tomorrow (Matos) 5:03 Days of pounding emptiness Just so far away, no regret to live beside the danger Running out of carelessness Still unlinked the tips of a bridge that gets no one to nowhere Chorus 1: Let me run away Freed from lies, I won't forget Escaping from this chains I'll meet my love Once again Flying clouds from heaven Chorus 2: So, now? Tell me how to walk the streets of tomorrow Someday, somehow then we'll know how things went wrong And how? Tell me now to live in peace not forever The moment remains and flows... Don't let it go! How do you stay Down and pray Let me know The things that you've done on your own... Tell me right now, baby Solo: Kiko How do you stay Down and pray Let me know The things that you've done on your own... Chorus 1 & 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Evil Warning (Matos, Bittencourt) 6:39 Chorus 1: Time to believe in the dream that you've seen In a world that is broken and mean One day the sun it will shine for us all Take the freedom that you have fore-seen... Miles away you're heading for the unknown And there's no way to get back Time to complain Nobody is telling the truth To live in the crowd, sick of your own vanity Dead scattered petals around Hymns of betrayal Calling you for the attack Chorus 2: Evil warning You're much too fast and much too high, No time to worry! It's over, no more remaining time to cry and feel the pain... In the morning You stagger up to start to fight You get so lonely ... with no fore-sight until another day! Chorus 3: Run, don't wait for the sun, cause it's setting on your hopes Don't look far behind for the shadows, they will stand... Until the end! Solo: Kiko Chorus 1 (2) Chorus 2 & 3 And don't let your pride Make your blood flow cold in vain... Until the end... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Lasting Child (The Parting Words / Renaissance) (Matos) 7:35 a) The Parting Words 4:02 Years gone by - Awake again In a glowing star - That shines so far Lasting child - Remains inside Playing around - A future denied High overhead, dusk is insight... Fumbling the mist Lingering around... Chorus: Blow, Carrying winds Take me high Where I can see The hidden lights That blink far beyond... Chorus And then A painted dream Colours that melt Inside slender frames There I'll stand There I belong... b) Renaissance 3:33 Instrumental ------------------------------------------------------------------------
