That Summer by the Sea
06:32
|

Running along the shores, Papa’s yellow kite swirls and soars
He spins a tale, as the white gulls sail
Splashing all through the waves, exploring the pirate caves
My bucket in hand, fetching pearls from the sand
Red scarf in my hair, came loose in the wild ocean air
Beneath the sunshine, paradise was mine
That summer by the sea
I long to return to that summer by the sea
When life was a dance for papa and me
When he was near, autumn shadows disappeared
All the years he’s been gone, I still hear his song
Down we rode to the fair, a fiddler’s tune to share
He spins a tale, as the white boats sail
Later that silver night, performing in bright moonlight
Life is enchanted, all wishes granted
Violin tucked beneath his chin, the fairy tale begins
The bow in his stride, plays the music he writes
That summer by the sea
I long to return to that summer by the sea
When life was a dance for papa and me
When he was near, autumn shadows disappeared
All the years he’s been gone, I still hear his song
The crowd begins to cheer, they come to the fair to hear
a gypsy melody, to set their hearts free
He tucks me in at night, a story by firelight
The old wicker chair, sea breeze in his hair
Kissing me on the cheek, he sings me fast asleep,
A lullaby, ‘neath the milky-way sky
That summer by the sea
It was snowing, the wind it was blowing
That winter day, when the they carried him away
Come to me again, my angel, my friend
Papa ease my fears, take away my tears
Oh, take me back...take me back...take me back to that summer by the sea

The Bleeding Rose
04:42
|
|||
An angel sent from heaven
Came to a garden fair
Searching for a flower
To wreath her golden hair
A lily grew in splendor
Radiant and white
Dazzling in the sun
Shimmering of light
Then a single blood red rose
Caught the angel’s eye
Dark and mysterious
She could not pass it by
Crimson petals beckoned
Beautiful and rare
The angel chose the red rose
To wreath her golden hair
But when she plucked the blossom
Was pierced by savage thorn
Blood flowed from the flower
The angel’s heart was torn
The garden is bursting with color
Blossoms of every hue
A rose of the heart or a lily of light
Which will the angel choose
Roses like souls need tending
Lest they shrivel and fade on the vine
Neglect a red rose, crimson petals rain down
The flower will wither in time
An angel sent from heaven
Came to a garden fair
Searching for a flower
To wreath her golden hair
She cast it to the ground
And then she did dispose
Choosing the pale lily
Instead of the bleeding rose

In the Mirror
04:25

Mercury, against a sheath of black
Mocks the image the silver echoes back
Half darkness, half light… in the mirror
Glass shatters, and my soul splits apart
No music or lyric in the heart
Half human, half gargoyle…in the mirror
An instrument of cruelty
The mirror’s bitter truth
Reflecting all that I am not
Projecting dying hope, fading youth
But then I saw her...I loved her...in the mirror
Innocence, and a soul purely born
A fragile girl, forsaken and forlorn
Half child, half woman...in the mirror
I need her, and I will not be denied
My passion, I can no longer hide
Half siren, half angel...in the mirror
An instrument of cruelty
The mirror’s bitter truth
Reflecting all that I am not
Projecting dying hope, fading youth
But then I saw her....I loved her in the mirror
The flame is kindled, at last our souls unite
Sparks of glory melt winter blight
Our music soars, the light is in her song
A distant dream where phantoms don’t belong
Her touch, her tears
Half love, half fear
Her sigh, her kiss
Half pain, half bliss
Do I hope, may I dream, should I dare believe
Does the mirror speak the truth, or does the glass deceive
Could she be mine, my love my bride
Or will she turn away, and cast the fool aside
Will she love this broken-hearted angel, will I finally be free
from the beast looking back at me....in the mirror

Hold me in your arms, your spirit shivers on my skin
Caught up in the undertow, I am swept away again
The music, the heart crush, too much but never enough
Rising on the passion tide, I can’t stop craving you
Your love is firelight
Changing and turning me
Blinding and burning me
Firelight through diamonds
Look into my eyes, and we are both the sand and sea
Drifting on your body waves, you’re washing into me
The beauty, the skin flush-crashing into the soul rush
Drowning in your ocean eyes, I can’t stop craving you
I fall and I fly
I live and I die
In the heat of your kiss
In the pain and the bliss
We dance and we melt
In the love that we’ve felt
In the calm and the storm
In the soft and the warm
Your love is firelight
Changing and turning me
Blinding and burning me
Firelight through diamonds
I can’t stop craving you

Chanson de l'Ange
05:21

When I close my eyes, your face is all I see
Your voice and spirit, ever haunting me
Through the mists of time, and in the mirror’s glow
You are all I love, you are all I know
Sing to me again the angel’s song
Fold me in the wings of your embrace
Hold me close until the stars have gone
Then will I behold your beautiful face
When I lift my eyes your shape suddenly appears
Your touch on my skin, still lingers through the years
Sorrows roll away, like the ocean from the shore
My heart entwined with yours
Our love forevermore
Sing to me again the angel’s song
Fold me in the wings of your embrace
Hold me close until the stars have gone
Then will I behold your beautiful face
When I kneel to pray it is your soul I crave
Red roses bloom, in the shadow of your grave
Through the shining gates, of heaven you draw near
I hear you call my name, your angel’s song I hear
Come to me my love let’s fly away
Come, the winter days grow long
Come to me and sing your angel’s song

Worlds Apart
04:36
|

Christine:
You fell from heaven with your wings of black
No one could fasten the dark feathers back
Broken on the sidewalk, forgotten and alone
Angel without a friend or a home
Erik:
You were a doll in a window display
Porcelain beauty, won’t come out to play
Like a perfect delicate flower
Hidden away in your ivory tower
Together:
Worlds apart, standing on the great divide
Desperately we reach out to the other side
To know another soul-to cast all fear aside
To be loved-just to be loved.
Christine:
You broke the window, smashed the glass around me
I never looked back since the moment you found me,
You made me see myself in a different way
I’m not breakable like yesterday
Erik:
You sewed my wounds, bound up my broken wings
Helped me face the darkness I couldn’t see
With you, I know, I’m never alone
You are my refuge, and my home
Bridge:
Erik: With you there’s no need to hide my scars
Christine: To me you’re perfect as you are
Erik: With me all your secrets are safe
Christine: With you I don’t have to be afraid
Erik: And I don’t need black feathers to soar
Christine: And I don’t need to hide anymore
Erik: You gave me wings, set my soul to flight
Christine: You healed my heart with your song in the night
Worlds apart, standing on the great divide
Desperately we reach out to the other side
To know another soul-to cast all fear aside
To be loved-just to be loved.
Erik: I’m loved
Christine: I am loved
Together: I am loved by you!
