    The story begins here...

    CHAPTER I:


    STEALTH

    This morning dawns after a long rain
    Trees still drip drops of water on warm ground
    Green leaves of an April spring are blooming
    Clouds fade away, into a void... no more gray

    Dove's singing at my window sill as I wonder and think
    The cold wind calms the bright sunlight
    It's 12 o'clock, high noon, I'm sitting in my room
    Feeling serene, daydreaming in my bliss
    ... On this bright afternoon

    What will I do today?
    There's no more disarray
    I'm finally at peace now that I've won

    What will I do today?
    There's no more disarray
    Through the eyes of God I've set the sun

    Now I'm home again
    And I know I'll never be along again...No

    Live for today and every day
    But be careful, you might be the one
    Addicted to fate, not knowing at all
    Ignorance can put you under the gun



    TIED TO A WISH

    Another day is over, another night has just begun
    So lonely and cold but your heart always warms my soul
    I'm here all alone wondering where you are
    ...I'm in the dark

    Another morning, a new day to dream
    Wth you in my heart, a feeling so serene
    I try but just can't find the right words to say how I feel
    And I'm wondering where you are
    ... Again today

    Tell me who you dream of when you sleep
    Tell me who you cry for when you weep
    Tell me all your lifelong hopes and dreams
    Tell me, show me how love can be true

    Rainy mornings bring me peace
    They wash away all my bad dreams
    With you I can find all the love I've left behind
    It's the pursuit of my reason to live
    My heart sees I cannot lie

    Together again, I pray this will never end
    The angel next to me, so beautiful and fast asleep
    One last kiss goodnight, I wait for the morning light
    I want to share my life with you
    I'm tied to a wish come true



    RETURN TO TWILIGHT

    Awake as I enter into a dream
    The sunrise of a deep warm midnight
    In bliss I'll rise into the Dawn
    And penetrate the dusk of light

    This is what brings me to life
    This is my return to twilight

    I'm the one who will set the sun
    And fill your midnight with delight
    Longing, yearning, you lie before me
    Living out your fantasy

    This is what keeps me alive
    Now I return to twilight

    Surrounded by images of Eden
    Dreaming at the edge of Heaven
    Make this last forever
    Now I've found bliss, don't ever let it end

    You are the only one for me, I know you can see
    You're a dream come true, I cry for you
    I took my chances and gave my heart
    Now I pray we'll never be apart

    Don't take away my bliss



    SEPTEMBER

    I'm not alone anymore... remember
    I'm not afraid anymore... remember
    But I am still the same this September
    And the dream still remains... September

    Sometimes we find that our bad times seem to happen for a reason
    At the time, why, we might not know
    But later we learn that they helped us grow

    Each day brings a new adventure
    Try to forget the burdens in your life
    Just remember the glory and the pleasure
    Then you have discovered life's treasure

    You gave me rebirth under your sign
    By the grace of God you brought me back to life
    You gave me the world I only hoped for
    I've waited so many years to feel alive again

    You are my fantasy... remember
    You're my life without grief... remember
    You're my soul complete... remember
    I'll love you eternally... I'll always remember

    The next day is dawning



    BRAVE HORSE

    Why is it that all I do only benefits someone else in the end?
    Am I a martyr or cursed with good intentions?
    Some may need to help me through this crying secrecy
    But a state depndency is what the truth might be

    Brave Horse... There's love around you, just look, you'll see
    Brave Horse... Always seeing you in their every dream
    Brave Horse... All will want you, they're in ecstasy
    Brave Horse... All have found you, no more fantasy

    Please another and curse the other
    Fulfill yourself but accuse one another
    For their so-called "wrongful convictions"
    But a contribution to you "stealth" addiction

    Living in your callous world
    No one cared when I cried
    For everyone who lied, judged me or criticized...
    Now it's my time to shine

    Now I'm alive
    Now I'm alive
    Now it's my time to shine
    Now I'm alive



    JADE'S DREAM

    It's getting late, are you still awake?
    Lay your head down, rest your soul soon I'll be home
    Listen to me, don't be afraid
    That all will fall apart and I won't be there for you

    You made no mistake with me, I know it's true
    Words can only say so much so let me prove it to you

    Have no fear, I'll be here to save you from the dark
    And protect you while you sleep
    Stay close to me and you'll see me
    Wash away your bad dreams and all that you fear

    I'm going to make you mine... forever
    I want to watch you shine
    And save you from the pain of the world
    Cleanse you with my morning light

    I want to watch you shine
    Let go of your past, believe in me
    Together we'll drift away in our dreams

    A full life to live with so much to give
    Take the good with the bad, a long road lies ahead
    If I should die before you don't cry
    When you close your eyes and fall asleep
    I'll see you in your dreams



    DAWN (Another Sunrise)

    I pray and hope that we'll see the sun
    Who do you seek to lie beside you?
    Smoke circulates your reason
    I wish for the morning to blanket me and cover you
    A meer wish can no longer keep me from praying
    A meer wish can no longer keep me here

    Yesterday and days before
    Faces I don't see anymore
    I can't stop the way we change
    But I'm not sorry... anymore

    Has her heart been broken?
    She needs the shelter of her shroud
    A pulse, the cradle and the salt to trickle down
    The moon to guide her within the hall
    The morning to awaken her
    I'm not her miracle anymore

    What would you do if you only lived in the dark
    With no one to kiss you and tell you goodnight?
    When will I realize that I can't relive yesterday?
    When will I remember... memories last forever?

    I'm not sorry
    The sun will rise again



    EDGE OF THE OCEAN

    Early sunrise... Genesis
    It's what we call morning... A new beginning
    Forever in sight... The horizon
    Here, I'm the only one... Under the sun

    Blue sky, white clouds, cold water at my feet
    Waves breaking, seagulls singing
    Wind on the water, to the heavens I'm reaching
    For the sight of forever, please give it to me

    Sunlight on the ocean seems to be
    A reflection of what we see in our dreams
    It's a sight of forever... a fantasy
    But a feeling to me... serenity

    A beginning with no end at the edge of the ocean
    A renaissance we see at the edge of the sea

    We can't see beyond the horizon but we can...
    Just keep dreaming
    Just keep reaching
    Just keep dreaming
    Just keep believing



    IMAGES OF EDEN

    (Instrumental)



    ONLY IN MY WORLD

    I've grown so tired from listening to the world
    Tell who I should be, how I should live and what I should feel
    I'm sick of all judgmental politics and hypocrites
    Saying, "Do what I teach you. Believe what I preach to you."

    No, stay out of my world

    In your world there is no truth, we're force fed your lies
    You wonder why your children murder and commit suicide
    Take a look into young troubled eyes, lend your heart, don't build a wall
    Did you ever stop to think, maybe you're the problem after all

    Only in my world... Eden filled with serenity
    Only in my world... If I open the door and you will see

    You can't take this away from me
    I can dream and make believe
    I know it's not reality
    But it helps, coping, living in your world

    All the words I hear are lies... promises broken
    Give me your trust, put faith in me, rely on me... I'll give you the world
    In my world of self expression, I'm the sole creator
    Have no faith for he or she who gives can also take away

    For all your worthless lies
    For all your moral demise
    You don't know how I feel inside
    Stay out of my world, leave me alone

    For all your plastic faith
    For all your symbols of hate
    For you and your world it's too late
    I have my own God, go sin for your own
    ... And stay out of my world

    Who have you really saved with your lies?
    How can you really be saved... Gemini?
    I'm not your savior anymore
    There's no more world when there are no more words



    ONE LAST HERO

    Questions and confusion fill my mind, the dilemma always remains
    How could I go on if I made this great mistake
    I could never live with it but I could never get rid of it
    There's only one solution... go under the knife, no more confusion

    Alter my life, alter my fate
    Never too soon, not a minute too late

    I could never bear to see the pain of a life that I created
    Go unwanted, falling down in this cynical world of hate
    I took the necessary extreme and altered my fate
    I know I'm only a mortal man but playing God just the same

    Don't rip me off my cross
    My faith will not be lost

    You came to me, you took my hand
    Gave your love to me, may the past be damned
    You swear to me I'm the only one
    My love is divine... now we set the sun

    My wounds have been mended, my soul is finally at peace
    Now that my scars have healed, I've waited so long to release
    I'm free to live, free to love without regret, worry or fear
    There's no more confusion, now everything is clear

    Where were you when I was falling down?
    It doesn't matter anymore
    Where were you when I was falling down?
    It doesn't matter...

    ...Now I've set the sun



    AUTUMN'S END (The Last Sunset)

    Another short summer has faded again
    The longer nights now await
    The years drift away into a distant shade of gray
    Through cold winds of a new frost and morning dew

    Obscure memories of a year passing by
    Ending at midnight, celestial starlight
    Fast asleep we lie, but not for very long
    For winter is near, soon arriving at dawn

    Another truth is silent kept away in secrecy
    Another world divided, who will protect and shelter me?
    Show me my life and the warm feeling again
    The one of a kind I remember as I watch the last sunset

    I gaze at your falling leaves painted vividly clear
    The days grow colder, in December I'll surrender
    To your cold fall breeze, bringing nostalgic peace
    casting no shadows, the raven sings me to sleep

    Dusk is approaching, twilight is so near
    Now I'm reflecting on another long year
    Now the sun is setting, what will Autumn's end bring...
    Another winter of pain to crush my heart once again?

    As I close my eyes one last time for this final transition
    I'll know that I've lived my life with no regrets, nothing left undone
    It's time for me to say goodbye
    Now it's time to watch... the last sunset

    Can you remember a time when you were young?
    Can you remember the one and only one?
    Can you remember a time without worry?
    Can you remember when you still believed?

    SUNLIGHT OF THE SPIRIT:


    ASCENSION (Intro)



    KALEIDOSCOPE

    I've waited so long to dry the tears from our eyes
    Shut the world out and free our minds
    We'll stay locked inside until the end
    We closed the gate to the lion's den

    And from nowhere, here you are
    With me you'll travel so far

    Now we are so lost inside our own maze
    Of warmer nights and brighter days
    (We run) in the garden of eternal life
    Under the bright silver moonlight

    I can hear your voice calling me when I'm so far away
    Waiting for your touch to take away all the pain…

    Now there are no more falling tears
    I prayed this day would come
    Now there are no more falling tears
    You are the only one

    When I am miles away I can still hear you whisper
    I see your smile and feel your embrace
    Now I know you are safe and warm
    Thinking about tomorrow we dream today away

    After so long here we are
    And we have traveled so far

    Now there are no more falling tears
    Away from the world outside
    Now there are no more falling tears
    In our EDEN where we hide



    BEYOND THE HORIZON

    The early morning sky is bringing me a new day’s light
    Taking me away from yesterday
    There's so much more that lies ahead for me
    Now I see beyond where the water meets the warm sky

    Dreaming awake… I'm staring at the sun

    I used to believe Heaven were the clouds in the sky
    … Islands for the angels to fly to
    I used to dream and wonder if there could be a better place
    Nothing can touch me there so far away…

    Drifting away' beyond the horizon

    Our angels are our heroes' some say heroes never die
    They're surrounding me under my warm summer sky
    Guide me and protect me spread my wings so I can fly'
    Beyond the horizon

    What were you hoping for?
    What were you waiting for?
    Did you think your dreams would just find you
    And take you away?

    Don't tear yourself apart over things out of your control
    Time passes so fast you'll wonder where your life went
    Too much wasted time holding on to yesterday

    The sunlight of the spirit lies beyond the horizon



    TO LIVE ANOTHER DAY

    Now it's been a long road getting to where we are today
    It's been a hard road, not as easy as one may say

    Living through the winter
    Dawn of a new day born from spring
    The end of the sorrow and cold
    Now life begins again

    …Another day, to live another day

    Now it's been a long time since I've seen a brighter day
    It's been a hard time, with a new hope lighting the way

    Now is this the real me...
    The one I'd lost for so many years?
    It is so hard to believe
    I'm alive again, now I'm home...

    (For) another day… to live another day… again

    It's been a long, long road back home
    Such a hard road back home

    Is this the real me coming back again?
    This is the real me, I'm home again… again

    It's been a long, lonely road back home
    Such a hard, dark road back home
    Such a long time did I roam
    This road back home

    To live another day
    To live another day
    back home again



    DREAM CATCHER

    “To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower,
    Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour..”
    - William Blake

    Time stands still as I hear the autumn wind sing
    One last passing glimpse in a pool of falling rain
    A young bird trying to fly with broken wings
    Catch your dream before it slips away…

    No longer is this a dream, now I'm starting to believe
    That I feel my soul floating on my angel's wings
    No longer will I wonder, life's too short to wander
    The coming of age always comes too soon
    Catch your dream before it dies today…

    Heaven sent a miracle, your destiny lies in your hand
    Don't let it slip away
    Heaven sent the world to you, passion lies within your soul
    Don't throw it all away
    Heaven sent love to you, open your heart, don't pass it by
    It could be the last time
    Heaven sent life for you, but you can't seem to find
    Your peace of mind. You live in…

    A Dream... From the day you were born
    Your whole life you were scared to face the storm
    A Dream... You refuse to believe
    You'll never be in Heaven without going through Hell

    I drift away out to sea, to dream and wonder what will be
    I am a mariner of my own imagination
    The horizon is my destination
    Since I found a new way when I awoke one day
    A seed of hope was planted in my soil of disarray

    Tomorrow lies another side of life
    Catch your dream before it dies tonight



    A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

    Love surrounds us, passion embraces us from all directions
    Sharing our treasure in this harem of pleasure
    Adrenaline rising, hearts are pounding

    In a world filled with so much more than I can believe
    Now I can feel you so much closer to me

    Passionate visions turn my water into wine
    Smoke blends with perfume in the air
    The smell of sweat and the warm color of flesh
    Fills the night again and again

    All so intoxicating- this ethereal paradise
    With hungers of love and lust
    In your mouth tasting many different fruits
    Nothing is sacred, nothing is taboo

    Once were two, many more so soon
    We’re just cherubs shooting arrows at the moon
    I taste your fruit and you drink my wine
    This way of life is so divine

    (This is) our endless night...
    filled with satin and white lace
    Our endless delight...
    This menagerie we consummate

    I know you won't pretend this fantasy will ever end...

    (This is) our endless night...
    The dogma we so disbelieve
    Our endless delight...
    In our midsummer night's dream

    Now I know you won’t pretend this fantasy will ever end
    Remember… Shakespeare is dead
    You'll never see the fall again

    Now I know you can't pretend this fantasy will ever end
    Remember… Shakespeare is dead
    And autumn will never come again



    ALADDIN

    What is this? You've read my mind
    How could you know what I was thinking?
    Heart beating fast, Now we're going in
    I know what tonight is going to bring

    Show it all off… show it off for me
    Show it all off… beyond what the eye can see

    I hardly believe what I'm really seeing
    Now all are watching, but it's only for me
    This exhibition brings submission
    Visions of you, Visions of two

    I know what they know
    our worlds surrounding you
    I have what they want
    they all want you now

    Come play our game, take our hand

    This brings us closer to forever
    Hypnotically enhanced, Erotic, in trance
    This taste of blood you gave me today
    One I'm dream for again and relive another day

    Now I'm home

    I love watching you (x4)

    Here she comes, you know what I want
    So stimulating, our worlds embracing
    Another beautiful scene, it's so serene
    Three wishes coming true for me
    Come play our game, take our hand



    EMERALD RAIN (Sunlight of the Spirit Part I)

    I remember what once was and what cannot be again
    It's so hard daydreaming, knowing you can't go back
    Trying and trying, reaching to relive our yesterdays
    But now they only live within our minds

    Memories of long ago never seem to wash away
    Alone I feel the falling rain, dreaming of what used to be
    So much older now but with so much yet to come
    Still I find myself remembering...

    Emerald Rain… Hear my nostalgic serenade

    Life brings us change, Nothing remains the same
    Tomorrow brings a new while the past fades away
    I still can't help holding on to what was lost
    Only hoping that one day I'll be whole again

    Emerald Rain
    Hear my nostalgic serenade
    Emerald Rain
    Singing the swan song of yesterday

    Our world is drifting so much farther away
    As we mourn the loss of our yesterdays
    Now in this only nostalgia remains
    With the return of the morning rain

    All that I want, All that I had
    …And all that I gave but would never take
    All that I fought, All that I cried
    …And all that I kept deep down inside
    All that I love, All that I hate
    …And all of the things I did create
    All that I was, All that I am
    …Is it all that I will be until the end?



    I REMEMBER WHEN... (Sunlight of the Spirit Part II)

    I remember when...
    I had no worries and life was care free
    I remember when...
    Summer lasted forever (no more)
    I remember when...
    You were there for me
    But now you're long gone
    I remember when...
    I last saw your face
    But nothing lasts forever

    Now I'm serene and I've found peace
    I am whole now and ready to start again

    I remember when...
    You cried for me
    And protected my heart
    I remember when...
    Life was easy
    How did things fall apart?
    I remember when...
    Nothing mattered
    Now everything's changing
    I remember when...
    I was near the end
    But the end is so far away

    Memories no one can ever take away
    Even though time has changed the world around me
    Memories no one can ever take away
    They're not gone
    No, They're not gone

    Memories no one can ever take away
    Even though time has taken you from me
    Memories I'll keep forever so you will live on
    You're not gone
    No, You'll always live on



    THROUGH OCTOBER SKIES (Sunlight of the Spirit Part III)

    In this new day now I'm awake for the first time
    For the first day of the rest of my life

    So strong and able to move on to live again today
    To live another way, now with a clear mind

    Yesterday was the last time before the pain had died
    But today I'm alive, with the past far behind…

    Through October skies, my autumn's sunrise
    It's the first sight of a new light
    Through this survivor's eyes, ethereal moonlight
    The first night of the rest of our lives

    Another firey world of yellow and red
    How could I have seen it again- my beginning and my end
    Autumn I praise your painted sky that I adore
    Celestial winds, filling my soul once more

    In this new life the darkness has turned to light
    The fear has died but the strong has survived
    After so much time now I can to move on…
    To live again today, another way, with the end so far away

    Then one day you came to me, fate waited so many years
    It knew that we were ready now
    The search is over now that I found your spirit
    This is our destiny, the rest will be history



    ETHEREAL (Instrumental)



    MIDNIGHT'S TIDE

    Moonlight on the water, the sound of the ocean
    Sitting by myself, I'm reflecting in the sand
    Remembering the younger days…
    I've gone back to where it all began

    Everything is drifting away
    Throughout midnight's tide

    There I first walked through EDEN
    And saw the painted October sky for the first time
    I knew it was where I wanted to be
    I knew it was where I wanted to stay

    I will never forget what was born by a dream
    I will never let go of what was given to me
    I will never forget when I opened my eyes
    To see what I was destined to be

    Yesterday I returned to EDEN
    I saw myself as a child outside at play
    With a look of content- not a care in the world
    So unprepared for the darkness that would fall down upon him

    I can’t change the past, So why even try?
    The future is drifting through midnight's tide

    As a child he was scared of tomorrow
    Wasting many yesterdays being afraid
    The spark of life never fueled the flame
    Before long, the fire had faded away

    I can't change the past… So why even try?

    Here I am in EDEN today under the October sky again
    Seeing myself face to face at last
    Making my peace after so many years have passed

    He knew who I was but he was so scared
    And so afraid of what I may say
    I remember his sadness and feeling his fear (again)
    With every question, he shed so many more tears

    “I CAN FEEL YOUR PAIN LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY
    BUT DON'T YOU BE AFRAID, IT WILL NOT LAST FOREVER
    I CAN TELL YOU NOTHING MORE FOR I WOULD CHANGE WHAT WILL BE
    JUST KNOW THAT ONE DAY, ALL OF YOUR PAIN WILL END
    AND YOU WILL BE FREE
