Hour of Trial
08:52
|
|||
Drifting, onto a still sea of silver
Moved only by one desire
Willing to look up and reach higher,
Taking a black sky as our protector
Let’s go!
Waves crash under the moonlight
Inside me, a fire burns so bright [it burns so bright]
Yet it leaves my throat so tight
(and) eyes starring in the night [starring in the night]
Thunderstorms in the distance
Threatening my very existence
But I shall put up resistance
Far beyond reminiscence
An ascending lark
Guides me in the dark
To the colors of yore
That await on the shore
Hour! Of! Trial! We shall not wail
Hour! Of! Triumph! We rise again
Hour! Of! Denial! Nothing’s final
Hour! Of! Trial! But fate’s reprisal
Hour! Of! Trial! We shall not wail
Hour! Of! Triumph! We rise again
Hour! Of! Denial! Nothing’s final
Hour! Of! Trial! But fate’s reprisal
Hour of trial we shall not wail
Hour of triumph we rise again
Our hope to see the light never
DIES. It never dies. We strive
To see the light once more in our night
Our hope to see the light never dies

The Long Goodbye
08:51
|

Time is running out
And we must say goodbye
As I look in your eyes
I see my other lives
Father! Why must you leave us now?
In the coldness of this midnight sun
Fire! Please shine on your bright light
And protect us from this night
The rivers of fate flow so fast!
How long will my trial last? I don’t know!
Time has now run out
And we have said goodbye
On my bleaker path for tomorrow
I make out the shore, it’s so narrow
The rivers of fate flow so fast
But I turn backwards, and yearn for the past
Struck with fear, a face aghast
I still hope for solace, at last
Darkness and frost now feel so cold
As I seek the sun, and its radiant gold
Oh time, how I wish that you could fold
To let me chase once more… the shadows of old

The nighttime of my lifetime is upon me
No stars in the night sky to guide me
Darkness, silence, such familiar friends
Solitude, sorrow, my only ends
With ashes of dead empires behind
With memories of a bright past fading in my mind
I long for those quiet times of frivolity
and I prepare myself to fight for my sanity
Oh glorious starlight…
Can you see our plight…
Once a kingdom so lush and green
Now a barren and desolate land
I look around in search of a sign
And wonder if I am part of a grand design
Rivers of fate flow once again
I wonder how you can feel my pain
The hour of trial is not all in vein
This sorrow cannot be my bane
Light and darkness
I have seen it all
And I will live to tell the tale
Once a kingdom so lush and green
Now a barren and desolate land
I look around in search of a sign
And wonder if I am part of a grand design
Oh glorious starlight!
Can you see our plight!
Rivers of fate flow once again
I wonder if you can feel my pain
The hour of trial is not all in vein
This sorrow cannot be my bane

I’ve sailed onto an ocean of sorrow
To see you one last time before you go
Destroyed my visions for tomorrow
To now see my world become so hollow
Dim light in the night I must follow…
Time will find the end of the night
I know I soon shall see your light
Again…
Shadows and ice embracing the tree
Sadness and wrath now consuming me
Crimson red leaves are all I can see
But I know somehow you must be free
We walk in a tunnel of darkness
Far beyond the dead sun’s last caress
Time will find the end of the night
I know I soon shall see your light
Again…someday...
Oh now I don’t know what you would say
Oh now you seem long faded away
Our nostalgia leading us astray
To fall in the traps of yesterday (leading us astray)
We walk in a tunnel of darkness
Far beyond the dead sun’s last caress
