KAMELOT – On The Coldest Winter Night

I am breathless,
Need I say
How could you find me here?
You, of all, have crossed my way
Unexpectedly…from where?
I feel like I am dreaming
Hold me close,
Tomorrow may be gone

This is a moment of belief
This is a moment made of dreams
You found me here today
On the coldest winter night
This moment is our right

Now, Helena tell me all
The years we’ve been apart…
Did you hear the mountain fall?
…my broken heart
Don’t wake me if I’m dreaming
Hush, my dear
Because tomorrow may be gone

Lost in the present, I am sure
This is the moment, say no more
You found me here today
On the coldest winter night
This moment is our right

This is a moment of belief
This is a moment made of dreams
You found me here today
On the coldest winter night
This moment is our right

KAMELOT – One Of The Hunted

I feel the distant stare
Of a watching eye
Watching eyes of THE woodsman
Quivers of death await me here
I’m blind to their illusion – confusion

Fletching of fowl Slips
Through the wind
Releasing their death with
Their fingers
My fate lies on a tensel line
I must escape but there’s
Nowhere to hide

The now exchanging roles
In this theater of ill HUMOR
The understudy steals
The stage with an encore performance

One of the hunted
The tables have turned
One of the hunted
There’s nowhere to run
One of the hun ted
The tables have turned
One of the hunted
There’s nowhere to run

In the temples of nature
I hear the laughter
Just another victim on
This lonely trail
They show no emotion for
This loss of life
It reminds me of myself not long ago
And the cries for life that
I’d seem to ignore
The cries for life are now
My very own

One of the hunted
The tables have turned
One of the hunted
There’s nowhere to run
One of the hunted
The tables have turned
One of the hunted
There’s nowhere to run

KAMELOT – One Day I’ll Win

One day I’ll win
One day I’ll win
One day you will see
One day I’ll win
One day I’ll win
For I wish it to be
And then you will see
One day I’ll win
Look in my eyes
You’ll see a different part of me
Hear my words speak
You’ll hear a different part of me
Yes I know I’m a simple man
Yes I know it’s a complex land
If I tell myself I can if I dream
Therefore I am
Oh lord, please hear me oh lord,
Please hear my song
It’s all I own, it’s all I own
Look in my eyes
You’ll see a different part of me
Hear my words speak
You’ll hear a different part of me

KAMELOT – Nights Of Arabia

Came across
The waters
A kingdom in the sands
Unfaithful to the sultan
A killing was at hand
Challenged to survival
A legacy of fear
Eternal mystic legends
One for every tear

Nights of Arabia
The queen has lost her right to life
Nights of Arabia
Her destiny in story lines
Nights of Arabia
A thousand tales and one for life
These are nights of Arabia

Whispers in the moonlight
A gathering of vales
Circled round the fire
To hear this evenings tale
Standing on the threshold
The crest of darkened nights
Seduction of the hunter
The slave regains her might

“Lost inside a shadow
Erase the sins I’ve made
Heavenly reward me
With mercy on my fate”

Nights of Arabia
The queen has lost her right to life
Nights of Arabia
Her destiny in story lines
Nights of Arabia
A thousand tales and one for life
These are nights of Arabia
Scheherazade will never die

The sultan relents his feeble heart
His love for the queen is greater than he’ll ever know
“It’s easy to let you feed my nights
Someone to touch, someone to hold,
Someone to feel, someone to love”

“Here I am to die alone
Voices from heaven above
Hear my call awaken my soul
Forgive me for what I have done”

Challenged to survival
A legacy of fear
Eternal mystic legends
One for every tear

KAMELOT – Moonlight

I have never craved the system’s sympathy
I get restless over pity smiles
Some precaution wouldn’t harm my history
If I had the will to wait a little while

You cut the silence like a knife
You know I can’t repent for all

Moonlight falling over me
Sail on where the shadows hide
Moonlight crawling down on me
Just like you could not compete with my pride

Compensation for a misconducted life
Is it way too much to ask
Hard to wake up
With your heart and soul deprived
When the morning comes
The second to your last

You cut the silence like a knife
At the edge of my last defenses
You cut the silence like a knife
You know I won’t repent for all

Moonlight falling over me
Sail on where the shadows hide
Moonlight crawling down on me
Just like you could not compete with my pride

Shine on silver from the sky into the night
Gaia shivers and I need your leading light

Moonlight falling over me
Sail on where the shadows hide
Moonlight crawling down on me
Just like you could not compete with my pride

KAMELOT – The Great Pandemonium

War, war, war, war, war, war, war…
On a silent shore
I spoke to God
The sun is down
Assemble the great pandemonium
War

One more down by the brook of Babylon
One more down in accordance with my fate
One long drift across the lake of Avalon
One more trip that I must create

And my eyes sweep a shore
that was always there
A blood red line
Through the sonisphere
I can’t resolve where it’s coming from
I sense it’s the great pandemonium

One more, Just one more
Just one, Just one more day
One more day by the pits of hell
Just one more when even yesterday was too late
One more thought that I had to sell
One last trick that you can’t debate

War

On a silent shore
I confronted fear
I spoke to God
But he wasn’t there
The sun is down
And the war begun
Assemble the great pandemonium

[Growls:]
Break down
Got to break down
Break down

And my eyes sweep a shore
That was always there
A blood red line
Through the sonisphere
I can’t resolve where it’s coming from
I sense it’s the great pandemonium

On a silent shore
I confronted fear
I spoke to God
But he wasn’t there
The sun is down
And the war begun
Assemble the great pandemonium

Just one, just one, just one more day
Just one, just one, just one more day
Just one, just one more
War

KAMELOT – Millennium

I look into the black horizon
The more i see the more i know
I try to justify the wars won
But that won’t satisfy my soul

I hold the future in my hand
But I could easily destroy
I see the footprints in the sand
They seem to vanish in the void

Can I walk away
Can I choose to stay
Feel I’m getting near
Voices that I hear

Sail away, follow the sacred heart
Chase the sun, one with the moon and stars
Sail away, You’ll find the promised land
In your hand, there is a New Millennium

I wish wouldn’t have to worry
About the life that lies ahead
But when the present turns tomorrow
I shall remember what they said

Feel I’m getting near
Voices that I hear

Sail away, follow the sacred heart
Chase the sun, one with the moon and stars
Sail away, you’ll find the promised land
In your hand, there is a New Millennium

KAMELOT – Memento Mori

Who wants to separate
The world we know from our beliefs
And who sees only black and white
Distinguish loss from sacrifice
Some day we may come to peace
With the world within ourselves
And I will await you
Until I close my eyes

When your time has come
You know you’ll be lonely once again
And the final winter comes to us all
Life is treacherous
But you’re not the only who must pretend

We’re a second in time
We’re the last in the line
Of the prey that walks the earth
Good and evil combined

I am the god in my own history
The master of the game
I may believe if she would come to me
And whisper out my name
Sometimes I wonder where the wind has gone
If life has ever been
Sometimes I wonder how belief alone
Can cut me free from sin

When you close your eyes
Mementos of summer retrieves your mind
Like a drizzle afternoon cleans the air
When the winter blows
You’re glad you remember you really tried

And it comes to an end
Even winter… life fall
And we all have our beliefs
Pray for mercy for all

I am a man without a mystery
The deal is done within
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze
And pay for every sin

[Helena]
VICTORIA, NON PRAEDA
MEMENTO MORI

[Mephisto]
UNA VOCE… VOLO, NON VALEO
DULCE ET DECORUM EST
PRO PATRIA MORI
MEMENTO MORI

[Ariel]
So subservant in your embrace
No more denial
No run away
This is the final
My last recall
And that’s the price for what we learn
The more we know the more we yearn
Cause we’re so alone

I am a man without a mystery
The deal is done within
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze
The journey can begin
I’m still the god in my own history
I still believe that she will come to me
And whisper out my name

Some day we will come to peace
And reach beyond behind the lies
And I will await you
Until I close my eyes

KAMELOT – March Of Mephisto

ASPIRAT PRIMO FORTUNA LABORI
ME DUCE TUTUS ERIS
VOX POPULI VOX DEI
AD MAIOREM DEI GLORIAM…
AD INFINITUM

[English translation:]

[The fortune is smiling at our first effort,
let me lead you and you will be safe,
the voice of people, voice of god
for bigger glory of the god
to the infinity.]

You know just who I am
Don’t be so distant
Cause when you’re lost
I am solely there to share your grief

Wailing for your sorrow
Is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow you’re lonely
I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth

Now tell me all about your pain
Down to the detail
Don’t say it’s love
Your fragile heart feeds my contempt

Wailing for your sorrow
Is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow you’re lonely
I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth

Chase the heathen call
We belong… you and I
Unison in all you deny

Wailing for your sorrow
Is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow you’re lonely
I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth

I am the thorn in your side
That seeks accomplishment
Reminding the mortal of death
I am the spore of your pride
An angel heaven sent
The master of all
I am the urge of the flesh

KAMELOT – Solitaire

On a dank December morning
A glass of I forgot the name
I can’t unwind to water
I won’t come back again

And the minutes turn to hours
Keep spinning cards that look the same
And the slow way the moment
Talk to you

It’s time again all light is spent
My soul is free
And blessed to see

[Chorus:]
Sometimes when I’m out of reach
And sometimes when I’m there
That is when our souls agree and join in solitaire
Sometimes when my will to love has gone away
That is when I hear your name

All the prison light is blinding
It’s here to claim my sanity
I just can’t stand the waiting
To revive ecstasy

It’s time again
All light is spent
My soul is free
And blessed to see

[Chorus]

I won’t sustain another day
My love, my darkness
Daylight reflects my starving soul
And open wounds for everyone to see

[Chorus 2x]

I want to hear your name
Hear your name

KAMELOT – Love You To Death

When they met she was fifteen
Like a black rose blooming wild
And she already knew she was gonna die

“What’s tomorrow without you?
Is this our last goodbye”

She got weaker every day
As the autumn leaves flew by
Until one day, she told him,
“This is when I die”

“What was summer like for you?”
She asked him with a smile
“What’s tomorrow without you?”
He silently replied

She said,

“I will always be with you
I’m the anchor of your sorrow
There’s no end to what I’ll do
‘Cause I love you, I love you to death”

But the sorrow went too deep
The mountain fell too steep
And the wounds would never heal
‘Cause the pain of the loss
was more than he could feel

He said,

“I will always be with you
By the anchor of my sorrow
All I know, or ever knew,
Is I love you, I love you to death”

“What’s tomorrow without you?
Is this our last goodbye?”

[Solo]

“I will always be with you
I’m the anchor of your sorrow
There’s no end to what I’ll do
‘Cause I love you”

KAMELOT – Karma

I am a king of honor
Gold and glory
But every king must also die
Have I been just and righteous
What is glory
I know I’ve torn and taken life
And here I stand
A small and simple man

Who will trade his karma for my kingdom
A sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
Cause all you do in life comes back to you

I am a king in crisis
Counting minutes
There is an ending to my reign
My sins have come to face me
I can feel it
That I have lived my life in vain
And now I know I’ll reap
The seeds I’ve sown

Who will trade his karma for my kingdom
A sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
Cause all you do in life comes back to you

Am I mad
I feel so void and cold
Who can tell
Who holds the stories untold
Tired and trembling
I am descending
Will I have to stay here
and live this life again

KAMELOT – Intro / Until Kingdom Come

In the black of the night she appears
I can see that she’s trying
To relocate the source of my fears
I’ve been searching her high and low

In this dream she will show me the door
To a new revelation
And I know that I’ve seen her before
That she’ll bring me salvation

I remember when she was still alive
Always there by my side
Every day is a fight to survive
Every minute a shattered memory

Like the sun shining down on me
Like the breeze on the ocean
You’re the path of my destiny
I know you will follow me until Kingdom Come

When I watch from the tower at night
Into fading horizons
I can see her shade in the twilight
Dressed in silver she’s dancing

I recall as if it was today
Always there by my side
You are reason, and relief to my pain
And one day we will reunite

Like the sun shining down on me
Like the breeze on the ocean
You’re the path of my destiny
I know you will follow me until Kingdom Come
Like the sun shining down on me
Like the breeze on the ocean
You’re the path of my destiny
I’ll follow my heart until Kingdom Come

KAMELOT – Intro: Un Assasino Molto Silenzioso

C’era una volta un uomo
Con gli occhi verso la luna
E si chiedeva:
“Verro presto l’amore?”
E che altro esiste
In un cuore gelato?
Tranne il pensiero
Di un assassinio molto silenzioso

KAMELOT – Interlude IV (Dawn)

[TOWN CRIER:]
Hear ye hear ye! The lady
Helena has committed a sin.
Now death lies on her, like an
untimely frost upon the
sweetest flower of all the field…

KAMELOT – Manus Dei

Give me a sign
Sing the words of innocence and broken pride
Make my conclusions fail
Send me a sign
Heal this broken melody
‘Cause each day
A dying Hell

KAMELOT – Interlude III (At The Banquet)

[ARIEL:]
His invitation was clear
I shut my eyes…and now I’m here

[MASTER OF CEREMONIES:]
Please make way,
our host is making his entree

KAMELOT – III Ways To Epica

[MEPHISTO:]
When you play with fire
You must anticipate some burns
Chasing for desire…
It’s just a different way to learn

[ARIEL:]
I am defected from God
[HELENA:]
God had seized my soul
[ARIEL:]
So low redemptions too far
[HELENA:]
I am heaven’s sheen
[ARIEL:]
She’s the one that I loved
[HELENA:]
Love is all around
[ARIEL:]
And she tore me apart
[HELENA:]
The dark can never win

[MEPHISTO:]
All that I require
Is some trust as the pages turn
I can take you higher
Cause your will is my concern

[ARIEL:]
I am defected from God
[HELENA:]
God had seized my soul
[ARIEL:]
So low redemptions too far
[HELENA:]
I am heaven’s sheen
[ARIEL:]
She’s the one that I loved
[HELENA:]
Love is all around
[ARIEL:]
And she tore me apart
[HELENA:]
The dark can never win

[ARIEL:]
So long…maybe forever
I must carry on
Why did God take away
That one thing I wanted
Maybe God is the melody
We all serenade

[MEPHISTO:]
You would not feel sadness
If you never tasted joy
That’s the curse of humans
Born in passion you destroy

KAMELOT – Helena’s Theme

[HELENA:]
I remember a song
From long ago
Some of the pieces
They remind me of you
How could I know
You were to leave me
I thought that I was that melody
Oh so wrong
I’m but a whisper tonight

And if this is goodbye
I will leave
But I’ll love you
Until the end

[RIVER SPIRIT:]
If the grace of God is real
And the word of Christ can heal
Bring their souls to heaven’s light
Bless the unborn child tonight

KAMELOT – Glory

Sworn by the crown
I lead a crusade
Fight for belief to be one

Out in the field
Fearless and cold
Building the road to my Calvary

Strong is my steel
Dark is my mind
Carmine the ground that I tread

Faith in my god
Keeps me alive
But when does my faith turn to doubt

Silently watching the rain
Carving the earth on my grave
Lord you know that I prayed
One for the glory
And one for the souls that I’ve slain

How will I know
How could I tell
Where would I find some serenity

Sowing the seed
Unwounded I bleed
Lord won’t you show me the way

Christ is the cross that I bear
God is the will of my war
Faint are the voices I hear
Whispers of glory…

Christ is the cry of despair
Cursing the day I was born
This is the faith that we share
Left with the glory
And suffering of souls that we’ve torn
