[Dream Sequencer]
				

"It is the end of the 21st Century. I have returned to my own childhood. I remember it
all as the Dream Sequencer images mix with my own recollections. This is the day my
sister and I realised that we would never see the planet Earth."

[Johan Edlund, Floor Jansen]

Daddy where are you now
Forgot about your vow?
You promised you'd return and take me to Earth

Did you have to fight that war
What was it all for?
The honor of one's name, what is it worth?

I'm all alone - we're all alone
My future's unknown - our future's unknown
I reach out to the stars out here in my house on Mars

Mother did you hear me cry?
You never told me why
You put me in this world of rock and dust

No friends for playing games
No foes who scorn my name
Computerized machines of steel and rust

Is this my home? - this is our home
This desolate dome - this desolate dome
I call out to the stars: I'm alone in my house on Mars

I'll never smell the ocean breeze
I'll never climb the highest trees
I'll never feel the burning sun
I'll never meet my chosen one... in my house

Daddy I forgive you now
You could not keep your vow
You will never return, I'll never see Earth

My time has come - our time has come
I'm emotionally numb - emotionally numb
I'm headed for the stars, I'm leaving my house on Mars
No friends in my house on Mars
No foes in my house on Mars
I was born in my house on Mars
I will die in my house on Mars
				

TO ENTERTAIN THE COURT,
AYREON MAKES UP A SONG ABOUT THE BRAVE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE
AND THEIR JOURNEY TO THE ISLE OF AVALON IN SEARCH OF THE HOLY GRAIL.

[AYREON:]
noble men in shining armour
knights of the table-round
go out and ride like thunder
cross the sky at the speed of

sound the horn, 'n blow the trumpets
upon the castle wall
now the quest has started
listen to the prophet's call

sail away
sail away to Avalon
the journey has begun
sail away through the night
sail away, never die
the gods are at your side
sail away through the night

ride on the road to glory
find the holy grail
and learn the ancient story
's more than just a fairy-

tale about the key to life
and all its mysteries
you'll find the grail within you
slay the dragon in your dreams
				

Fade out on a theme
Fade out and away
Break down to extreme
Break down in decay

Fade out in the dust of my debris
Fade out and away
Break down in absence of extremes
Break down in decay

Green and cream, selective and pure
Shape my sin to your will
Crystalline, a chemical cure
Dance me down to the kill

Dream now of the frost
Dream now of the grave
Bleed out for the lost
Bleed out for the saved

Dream now of the fiction of the frost
Dream now of the grave
Bleed out for redemption of the lost
Bleed out for the saved

Green and cream, selective and pure
Shape my sin to your will
Crystalline, a chemical cure
Dance me down to the kill

I consume and control
Break your mind on my wheel
I can swallow your soul
Strip away all you feel (strip away all you feel)
I can feed your disease (I can feed your disease)
Close you down from within (close you down from within)
I can be all you need (I can be all you need)
Once I'm under your skin again

No solution for the undefined
No solution inside
Revolution psychoanalyzed
Revolution denied

I'm erratic and bold
Problematic and mean
Enigmatic and cold
Charismatic and clean (charismatic and clean)
I can feed your disease (I can feed your disease)
Close you down from within (close you down from within)
I can be all you need (I can be all you need)
Once I'm under your skin again

No solution for the undefined
No solution inside
Revolution psychoanalyzed
Revolution denied

Pull me out of the dark
Into your stars
Into your sky
Pull me out of the dark
Into your arms
Into your light

Pull me out of the dark
Into your stars
Into your sky
Pull me out of the dark
Into your arms
Into your light

Fade out in the dust of my debris
Fade out and away
Break down in absence of extremes
Break down in decay

Green and cream, selective and pure
Shape my sin to your will
Crystalline, a chemical cure
Dance me down to the kill

Pull me out of the dark
Into your stars
Into your sky
Pull me out of the dark
Into your arms
Into your light

Pull me out of the dark
Into your stars
Into your sky
Pull me out of the dark
Into your arms
Into your light
				

Tears fall from the jester's eyes
No sound as the old man dies
Gather round on scared ground
The king has gone

Trumpets sound from the castle walls
There's no sun, a hard rain falls
Men where killed and blood was spilled
In the days of the knights

Hot steel; burning oil
Brave men defended their soil
Children cried while fathers died
The law of the land

Rejoice now the battle is won
All rise for the king his son
Times were rough but the men were tough
In the days of knights

She's charmed by a magic smell
In a place where the spirits dwell
The knight will ride and the stars will guide
To the princess bride

On his quest for the demon land
The wizards dies by the hero's hand
Evil rules in the eyes of the fools
In the days of the knights
				

[Agony] You're alone in your bedroom
Hiding from the world, staring at the ceiling

[Me] Mother said ?he?ll be home soon?
But he never was, and I knew how she was feeling

[Fear] You always let him down; ?you'd never be like him?
He'd always break you, never let you win
No matter what you said, he'd always disagree
You swore that one day you would be
?better then him?one day you'd win

[Agony] You're hiding out in the cellar
Aching and ashamed, covering up the bruises

[Me] And then he would tell her
How I tripped and hurt my head, how I'd always be a loser

(Chorus - Fear)

[Agony] You're all alone in your bedroom
How could you learn to care, when nobody cares for you

[Me] Mother said he'd be home soon
But he never came, as for me?he didn't have to?
				

"It is the 16th century. I am Queen Elizabeth sending out the brave Sir Francis Drake to
defend the English realm against the invading armada."

[Lana Lane]

Times are dark now, our empire's gone astray
Forces from down south, armada on the way
So we call our greatest men to run the barricade
Shine your light where shadows fall and wash the night away

Sail on for your queen
Sail into history
You will never be the same
Sail on for country
Into our memory
Time will remember your name
Dragon on the sea

Fires burn now in once our tranquil bays
Tall ships that rain down thunderbolts and flames
Go and raise your pirate flag, cast the lines away
Take your fleet where darkness falls and turn the night to day

The sun never sets on the empire won
But wise men say never say never
It slips through our hands just like sand in sun
We thought it would go on forever

Dragon ships they keep on sailing, on to Nova Albion
While the waking world is sleeping, dragon ships are sailing on
				

[Love] Faith has come to warn
That you far to long forsaken her heart

Move to the truth
Breath the sunlight burning in her open arms

Break the chains that
Bind you to a past that feeds this bitter days

Seize your only chance
Follow the stars that beckon you through blackened skies

[Wife] Can you feel me touch your aching heart
I can sense how much you're missing me?

Give me a sign, show me you're there
I am sure you'll find a way back to me

[Me] I can't believe I turned so vile
How could I've ignored her smile?
She was always there to easy my pain
I am so ashamed

I wonder why she stayed with me
How she endured my vanity
I wish I could go back and mend my ways
Is it too late?

[Wife] Can you see, I swear it's true, a teardrop trickling down his cheek?
[Best Friend] Yes, indeed, I see it too, could it be he's hurting inside?
[Wife] Don't you think we should be glad he feels anything at all?
[Best Friend] It could well be he cries because of us
[Wife] Does it matter why he cries?
[Best Friend] What's going on in his mind?
[Wife] Has he's given us a sign?

[Wife] Can you see, I swear it's true, him clenching his right hand into a fist?
[Best Friend] Yes, indeed, I see it too, could it be that he's raging inside?
[Wife] Don't you think we should be glad he has any thoughts at all?
[Best Friend] It could well be he angry because of us
[Wife] Does it matter if he is?
[Best Friend] What's going on in his mind?
[Wife] Has he's given us a sign?
				

[The Chemist:]
The 'Frame is running all our systems, no way to shut it down
Outcries of panic in the distance, fear... all around

[The Diplomat:]
No satellites, no radio, no TV, I can't even use my phone
We need to wake up from this bad dream, we're not alone!

[The Prophet:]
I've seen the future in a dream
I've seen a sea of machines
I've seen a realm beneath the waves
Another time, another space

[The Chemist:]
The 'Frame is closing all the channels, isolated from the world

[The Diplomat:]
But there's still time to heal the damage and lift this curse

[The Counselor:]
You need to reach beyond your fear
You need to stand your ground and fight
If we're to make it out of here
If we're to leave Alpha alive

[The Captain:]
I can sail us to the skies 
I can fly us to the stars
I won't allow our race to die
I'll never leave you in the dark

[The President:]
I'll find a way to save our kind 
After all I am to blame
Just follow me, and I will guide
And I'll release us from the 'Frame

[The Chemist:]
The 'Frame is cutting off the power, we're stranded in the dark

[The Diplomat:]
It won't help to hide away like cowards, make a brand new start!

[The Prophet:]
I see a comet cleave the sky
In a time beyond time
I see a realm beneath the waves
I see a castle, a castle deep in space
On the edge of time!
				

Lightning strikes as we sail toward the light
Then the day turns to night
A storm is raging, waves are crashing down
Fear and chaos all around

The sound of thunder, pounding in our ears
The world around us disappears
Tensions high, a portal in the sky
As we all vanish in the light

[Chorus]
Restore the past, derail the future
(What will the future hold)
Are we to change the course of history?
(This story yet untold)
This is the year of '41
And the war has just begun
(But can we change the path of time)
We must defy the laws of nature
(Let's see what lies ahead)
We are the masters of our destiny
(What will we find instead)
This the reason we were cast
40 years into the past
(Now we can change it)

Are we but players inside a game
Some crazy simulation
An army toy, a military ploy
Some other means to destroy

Or did we really travel back in time
To a world undefined
A twist of fate, an ancient date
An altered state, a cosmic gate

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Vocalization]

"It is 50000 B.C. The world is almost empty; nature is still untouched by man. Off in the
distance, a clan of ape-like creatures gather near a cliff side. But I am the first to
stand. I must be..."

[Neil Morse, Mark McCrite]

In fields of green, vast as the oceans
Is this a dream, is it evermore?
A million years, fast as a notion
I stand alone here on the silent shore

I'm after prey in the fields
Shelter in a cave from the cold and lonely nights
And now it all seems so real
Warming at the fireside beneath the pale moonlight

This is the dawn of time
I am the first to stand
Looking through the eyes of the primal man
This is the dawn of time
Witnessing the birth
I am the first man on earth

The skies of blue reach to the heavens
They go on and on forevermore
No avenues, no city sidewalks
Planet Mars is but ancient lore

This place has all that I need
No computers glowing screens, no industrial machines
Somehow it all seems surreal
Memories of days gone by, a slowly fading scene

No one here to blame me
No one here to hurt
So much space here to occupy my mind
I can breathe the breath of virgin land

The firefly at nighttime
The sounds of nothing known
And I belong here like I never have before
The wandering child returning home

When twilight falls, red is the sunset
Planets appear across the colored sky
No prison walls, no war, no bloodshed
Hard to believe this new world will die

I wish that I could stay for a while
In the dream world that the sequencer creates
And though it all seems so real
Now I fear the time is gone, I feel its heavy weight

Hold on to this moment in time
Savor a life how it used to be
Hold on to the world in its prime
Breathe in the air, feel the energy
				

[Teacher]
It's time
To put things
In perspective
Find your way again

Let me take you
To a lighthouse
Where you can hide away

[Prodigy]
I only want to be alone
To work the numbers on my own
I need to show my father
I need to show them all
I am the one
To unlock the equation
The theory of everything

[Teacher] In counterpoint
The time has come
The theory of everything

If you're troubled
By the visions
The chaos in your mind

If the voices start to whisper
Call me day and night

[Prodigy]
Don't worry
I'll be fine

[Teacher]
Don't underestimate
The danger

[Prodigy]
I'm gonna make the theory shine

[Teacher]
You'll regret it sooner or later

I need to show my father
I need to show them all
I am the one
I'll find the equation
The theory of everything

[Teacher] In counterpoint
The time has come
The theory of everything 
					

[Father]
Now it's all over
I've got to see him again

[Mother]
He doesn't want to see you
You're too that through your head?

[Father]
But you can make him listen
All I need is one more chance

[Mother]
No! I can't take anymore
You never gave a damn! 
					

[Mother]
And so it ends
It's time to let go
My spirit is crushed
Forsaken and cold

I'm leaving you
No tears left to cry
You'll never change
I made up my mind

This is goodbye

[Father]
So this is the end
How can I go on?
My dreams unfulfilled
Now I'm alone

I let them down
I pushed them away
No reason to live
I'm ending this pain

There's no other way!
Only one thing left to do! 
					

"It is the 6th century. This is where it all began. My tired body has passed away, but my
once-tortured spirit is finally free now. My name is ... Ayreon."

[Arjen Lucassen]

I've crossed the edge where time disappears
My life has been taken by the charm of the seer
My conscience is clear, I committed no sin
My spirit roams free now, carried by the wind

My mission has failed, the spell has been cast
I wasn't the first one and I won't be the last
This can't be the end, so let it begin
My message will reach you, carried by the wind

Out here on Mars I now realize
Mankind has vanished, tears fill my eyes
There must be a world I can live in
My spirit will find it, carried by the wind
				

[Dream Sequencer]
				

[Father]
I'm so close
To the answer
A dazzling symphony of cosmic strings

I feel the pulse vibrating
Just out of reach
The music of space

One single master equation
Unification of the great and small

And I hit the notes
But the arrangements is wrong
And I'm starting to doubt
Though I can't give up now
I'm so near

[Mother]
Can't you see we need you right here?
And what about our boy?
I think he's got something to give
What secrets lie beyond these hollow eyes?

[Father]
I'm sorry you feel neglected
But it's clear
That you don't understand
I'm aware and I want to be there
I just need some more time
For the answer is blindingly near

[Mother]
Are you trying to drive us away
Just when we need you most
You might find he's got something to give
What secrets lie beyond these eyes? 
				

Sit back and relax
Crawl into the maze
Within your mind
Leave it all behind
Now allow yourself to
Slide into a world
As real as you want it to be
Actual fantasy
				

"We have reached our first destination: the black hole in the Virgo cluster of galaxies.
But what will we find inside? Its power is immeasurable. Our hopes and fears intermingle
as we stand at the event horizon. Will its
doorway transport us to our faraway planet Earth, or will its fury mercilessly tear us
apart?"

[Bruce Dickinson, Lana Lane]

[A. THE EYE OF THE UNIVERSE]

A dark sphere surrounds us
Surreal...oblivious...
In the centre of the galaxy
A hidden force has found us
Powerful...mysterious...
At the boundary of eternity

Nothing escapes, not even light
Beyond the mystical horizon
We surrender to its might
Gazing into the eye of the universe

A deep roar is sounding
Deafening...thunderous...
As if the universe were crying
My heart is pounding
Frantic...delirious...
My every nerve is dying

[B. HALO OF DARKNESS]

I hear screams of fallen souls, sad cries of agony
Within the void of this evil hole, deep inside the black

Could it be my imagination, the mirror of my fantasy?
A fear-induced hallucination
Or is there no way back from the halo of darkness?

Spirits - apparitions - misery - suffering
Horrid dreams and dire visions rising up from the black

Look away in disbelief, this cannot be happening
The end has come, I bow in grief
There is no way back from the halo of darkness

[C. THE FINAL DOOR]

Now silence devours us
Massive...suffocating...
The calm before the storm
Gravity overpowers us
Invincible...dominating...
And leads us through the final door

Feed me light, I'm the halo of darkness
Feel my might, I'm the eye of the universe
				

SUDDENLY A VISION EMERGES IN AYREON'S EVER-BLACK WORLD
AND HE FINDS HIMSELF SINGING ABOUT THE HORRID PROJECTIONS
ETCHED INTO HIS BRAIN.

[AYREON:]
a cry in the silence
a shine in the dark
like a rising star
the dream is coming
images of violence a flight through time and pace
it's such a lonely place
the dream has started

the smoke is rising
the vision's getting clearer
and words become a song
in the dreamtime

I've lost control
marooned and cold
I suffer the fears
of a future untold
I cannot change
the shape of things to come

the smoke is rising
the vision's getting clearer
the hands of time are whirling around
I'm realising
the future's getting nearer
and words become a song
				

"The Big Bang has created one soul, the Universal Migrator. The Universal Migrator
divides itself, and each Migrator flies off independently in search of a habitable planet
in order to breathe life into it. I follow the migrator that will eventually reach our
planet Earth."

[Russel Allen, Damian Wilson]

At the birth of time, the beginning of beginnings
One cosmic soul was created
A bringer of life, a universal migrator
Born to sow its seeds in all the galaxies

Like a cell dividing, it spreads in all directions
Creating life among the stars
I'm struck with awe as I join the great migrator
Now it takes flight to the brightest star of all

On a quest for life, through the sable skies
What a show! behold!
The dawn of a million souls

On a bold crusade, in the realm of shade
What a show! behold!
The dawn of a million souls

Through the glowing mist, like a fog of radiation
I can see the forming of new planets
I've been struck by thunder as I witness all the splendor
And I realize how small we really are

Ooh, I can see forever
On the wings of dreams I fly
Is this real or is it just a fantasy?
What awaits me now at the end of this ride?
				

[egyptian]
my journey's over
I'm standing on the edge
and close my eyes
to this world of lies

my will is broken
it's the end of all my dreams
my soul yearns
for the valley of the queens

my rose has withered
it will never bloom again
the soil is dry
time has come to die

my faith has left me
they've stolen all my dreams
oh lay me down
in the valley of the queens

my search has ended
my name is carved in stone
on the temple wall
beyond Osiris hall

no holy sunrays
will light my tomb of dreams
I won't return
from the valley of............the queens
				

[Father] Look at you, lying there, defenceless and alone
See I am no fool, I always knew you wouldn?t make it on your own

Cos you?re just like your mother, well, where is she now?
You?ll end up like her soon, 6 feet under ground, loser!

I came here to watch you bleed, oh how I love to gloat
If you had any balls at all, you?d grab me by the throat
You don?t even look like me, ha! Not even close!
You?re an aberration, some freak?I suppose, loser!

I had my fun, I?m going back to the place I don?t call home
There?s no one there who waits for me, but you won?t hear me moan
My ex-wives all sue me, and with half my kids in jail
I?ll still come out laughing, coz me? I never fail, loser!

[Rage] NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!
Killing it from afar, go tell it in a bar
You?re killing it from afar my father!
				

[Band Introduction]
				

At last! you enter the Electric Castle! Here in this vast hall where even shadows fear the
light - here you must confront your past. If you have killed, beware of the Gathering of Spirits
for they do fish for men. Here, the disembodied Astral World becomes flesh once more. I pity the
men of swords.
For here blood runs cold...

[barbarian]
cries from the grave resound in my ears
they hail from beyond my darkest fears
faces of the past are etched in my brain
the women I raped, the men I've slain

shades of the dead are sliding on the wall
demons dance in the castle hall

[knight]
I call upon the sword, the mighty Excalibur
grant me the skill to fulfill my quest

I call upon my king and the knights of the table round
grant me the courage to stand to this test

I call upon the seer, Merlin the sorcerer
grant me the magic to end my pain

I call upon the spirit that lives in a noble heart
grant me the passion that's within my veins

shades of the dead are sliding on the wall
demons dance in the castle hall

[repeat hall]
				

There is danger ahead. But do not be afraid. For I am with you like breath itself. Darkness
will lead to light - colour will bleed into the night. Beautiful colours, the like of which you
have never seen. Let the dream of confusion lead you into the virgin light! Be gone! Be
all-seeing, be brave...Be gone!

[A. AMAZING FLIGHT IN SPACE]

[barbarian]
I'm lookin' 'round bewildered
is this some dark and evil jest?
what brought me to this cursed keep
perchance some crazy quest
god forbid I am no coward!
pitted against monster, man or ghost,
I'd wield my blade with crimson gusto
for I'm the proud barbarian host!

[hippie (chorus:)]
hey dude, you're so uncool
but hey, that's allright
like there's no need to get uptight
my eyes reflect the stars
and a smile lights up my face
we're on an amazing flight in space

[barbarian]
I shook city, walls and towers
wreaking havoc in the streets
burned palaces of cow'rdly kings
not a one stood up to me
bear bloody banners in blazing skies!
brandish battle-axe and broadsword!
let drums of glory sound like thunder!
hail!! barbaric warlord!!

[hippie (chorus)]

[TH1:]
This isn't good
No this is not good at all

Mayday, mayday, mayday

You're all gonna die
Everybody dies! Dies! Dies! Dies!

Danger!
Warning!
Mayday!

Abandon, evacuate, get out of here!

Oh no, you lived like you did and you thought everything would be fine?
Now you scamper and run, but you've already run out of time
It's rotting and deteriorating from the inside
There's no way to stop it
And clearly there's nowhere to hide
Calculation of survival rate 0%

Doom, gloom, the world goes boom
None will be spared so don't assume
Not ragged clothed nor silver spooned
You're all the same when extinction looms

[The Opposition Leader and The Chemist:]
No food supplies, no water supplies
No power supplies or other supplies
No compromise, just say your goodbyes
And everybody dies!

No explanation or clarification
No information or justification
Forget the whys, just cover your eyes
And everybody dies!

[TH1:]
Oh no! It's not like your screaming can somehow elongate your life
You're best off to shut up and calm down and wait for it

[The Opposition Leader and The Chemist:]
The world is black, there's no way back
You're way off the track, no plan of attack
So recognize your pending demise
And everybody dies!

[The President:]
And in the end when all is silent
The core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out

[The Chemist:]
Then ominous skies materialize
And everybody dies!

[TH1:]
Oh no! Now holding your breath isn't going to bide you more time
You're best off to lay down and curl up and wait for it

[The Opposition Leader and The Chemist:]
The ultimate blast will be the last
And when it's passed, so terribly fast
It blinds your eyes, you're paralyzed
And everybody dies!

The soil'll be red where people have bled
The cities all dead, radiation will spread
It's no surprise, we swallowed the lies
And everybody dies

[The Astronomer:]
And in the end when all is silent
The core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out

[The Chemist:]
Then ominous skies materialize
And everybody dies!

[The Diplomat:]
Don't give up, we are still breathing
Don't give in, that's what they want
Don't despair, just keep believing
Don't lose heart, we'll blast our way out of here

[TH1:]
Danger!
Warning!
Mayday!

Abandon! Evacuate!

[The Captain:]
Follow me to a place beyond us
Follow me to another world
Time is short, the hour's upon us
Follow me to the stars

[TH1:]
Oh yes! Not ideal conditions, but stable enough, you could try
The chances are slim but perhaps you could make it alive?

[The Biologist:]
And in the end when all is silent
The core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out

And in the end beyond the violence
No humans will be found
Now a quantum supernova's blasted out

[TH1:]
Then ominous skies materialize
No compromise, just say your goodbyes
It's no surprise, we swallowed the lies
Now everybody dies!

Welcome aboard, let me draw you deep inside
The dark caves of my twisted mind
Welcome aboard, take a seat and dim the light

Break away through the walls of reality
Enter the realm on the other side
Break away from the cold rationality
Now is the time to open up your mind

Set your controls
Enter a date and see what our future holds
What kind of fate awaits us there in the night
As we dissolve into the light

Set your controls

Dangers we'll face as our engines ignite
Blazing our way into the light

Throw the switch, get ready for some turbulence
Brace yourself with all your might
Throw the switch and tempt the laws of providence

[Floor and Russell:]
Empty your mind, sit back and hold on tight

Light years away, far beyond our sun
Turn the dials, into the void we fly
There's no way back once it has begun

[Me] I can't move, I can't feel my body
I don't remember anything
What place is this?how did I get here?
I don't understand, what's happening?

Am I alone?

[Fear] You've been deserted, everyone has left you
You know it's always been that way
Those frantic years, the people you've neglected
Now the time has come to pay

You?re alone
No one here is dancing to your tune

[Me] Is this a dream or is it real?
[Reason] Sometimes the dream becomes reality
[Me] But I don't know what to feel
[Reason] Then I will guide you through this haze
[Me] But who are you, why are you here?
[Reason] I am you and you are all of us
[Me] I can't think, my mind ain't clear
[Reason] Then I will free you from this maze

[Passion] Can't you feel it burn
Deep down inside?
Won?t you ever learn
Don?t try to hide

Can?t you feel that fire?
Scorching you soul?
A wounded man?s desire
Out of control

[Pride] I can't believe you're giving up
That?s not your way
I can't believe you'd pass the chance to make them pay

You always had complete control
Never thinking twice
You always called the shots, a heart as cold as ice

[Me] You are delusions of my mind
[Reason] And so we are, we're all a part of you
[Me] Am I a part of some design?
[Reason] The one design is in your head
[Me] How can it be you look so real?
[Reason] We are as real as you imagine us
[Me] I can touch you, I can feel?
[Reason] Then take my hand and follow me

(Chorus 1 - Passion)

(Chorus 2 - Pride)

[Love] Close your eyes, listen to your heart beat
Surrender to its soothing pulse
Silence the cries, gentle and carefree
Good or bad, true or false?

You're not alone

You'll find me here whenever they oppose you
I am the strongest of them all
No need to fear these feelings that enclose you
I?m here to catch you when you fall

You're not alone
I am here dancing to your tune

(Chorus 1 - Passion)

(Chorus 2 - Pride + ad libs)
