Lyrics...

#1 Love of Message (w-inds)

Your words keep me awake, pain flowing through my heart
I quietly left the room and felt the sea breeze on my cheeks
I hope I never forget the way my heart leapt when I met you…

Your tears overflowed, penetrating my heart deeply
I’ll thow away my old selfish self into the night sea
Tell me why, and how long
Love sight, I failed to notice
The flowers growing at my feet

As time goes by, keep in my heart
There will be all kinds of trials thrown at me
But there is something I can’t let go of

Love is...special
Love is...precious
Message...I want to tell you, so
Love is…it may be fragile
Love is...and it may be fleeting
But don't ever stop believin'

Love is...longing
Love is...support
Message...it’s something you can’t do alone, so
Love is...your
Love is...unchanging voice
Heals me no matter how bad a state I’m in, one is love

We don’t know what’s waiting for us at our destination
But you’ll notice that love
Is always by your side
I want to laugh all the time
In the sunrise
Reflected in your eyes

I think up beautiful words
Flowin’ my heart
But I can’t say them properly, and my love is clumsy
But you understand even that

Love is...fulfilling
Love is...giving
Message...I want to show you a dream, so
Love is...even if
Love is...history changes
What’s in my heart will never fade, one is love

Yo!! In this town with its starless sky
One light, I found someone
I think so, I’m sending you more emails than I thought
I wanna send you this love as it is
Countless scenes, it’s mean
Are born there, you gotta faith in me
Do it!! do it!! Sinking into my dream, your heart
Everytime I do, lonely day, lonely night
I want to be strong, I want to have faith
The moon…the wind…everything is bringing us together just bringin' now
Never ever let you go (Never let your love go)
This love refrain will never fade (I don't wanna pain)

As time goes by, keep in my heart
There will be all kinds of trials thrown at me
But there is something I can’t let go of

Love is...special
Love is...precious
Message...I want to tell you, so
Love is…you may
Love is...get hurt sometimes
But don't ever stop believin'

Love is...longing
Love is...support
Message...it’s something you can’t do alone, so
Love is...your
Love is...unchanging voice
Heals me no matter how bad a state I’m in, one is love

#2 Colors of the Heart (UVERworld)

That day, my heart crumbled without a sound
Memories that won’t go away no matter how much I break, no matter how much I scream
Come flowing into my eyes along with a darkness
And I sink into a tomorrow where I can’t even see any colour anymore

I searched nonstop for a day when I’d understand
Now I’m just living to lose
Even when I’m alone, holding my loneliness inside, thinking “It’s all over”
If you turn on the lights...
Light shines on me

“Someday the love I keep praying for will come to colour”
You told me that, and you live on in my heart
Everything is made of colours that are born by fate
Now I can paint my future with this hand

In no time at all I get used to loss
And even the things I have slip through my fingers
The words I wanted to hear before my tears dried
Are words that can save someone
It's all your fate. You gonna do that
“When the light grows stronger, the darkness grows deeper”
I’m not afraid to learn that
Everything is made of colours born at the edge of our hearts
When we open our eyes, we can look at them

A sad breath
That blurs the colours I’ve been searching for
Without a sound

“Someday the love I keep praying for will come to colour”
You told me that, and you live on in my heart
Everything is made of colours that are born by fate
Now I can paint my future with this hand
The tendrils of light have illuminated it once again

Just drawing... Colours in light and darkness
And take it... Colours in light and darkness
Now I can repaint it all with this hand
Even the comforting colours that lay out of my reach

#3 Wind of Gold (L'arc~en~Ciel)

The familiar street shines in the twilight
I hope my whistle reaches you on the wind

In the distance, smoke rises high and black
The flames burn out; the sun takes you away

My heart throbs on the long walk home
Wind of gold, it caresses my cheeks
I hope tomorrow comes soon

Lit by the setting sun, I cast a long shadow
It overlaps and night descends
I want to make the clock go faster, til I can see you
I wish the earth would turn a little faster

I relive that summer day
Crying, I watched your shadow forever
As it grew longer and further away
I want to make the clock go faster, til I can see you
I wish the earth would turn a little faster

...The flames burn out
The familiar street shines

Wind of gold...wind of gold

*#4 Castles in the Sky (DDR)

Do you ever question your life
Do you ever wonder why
Do you ever see in your dreams...
All the castles in the sky

Oh tell me why...
Do we build castles in the sky
Oh tell me why...
All the castles way up high.
Please tell me why...
Do we build castles in the sky
Oh tell me why...
All the castles way up high.

(repeat)

#5 Fields of Despair (DragonForce)

Can you feel the pain inside sometimes in my mind?
In the land of loneliness the seas of blood run cold
Is the feeling lost inside within the sins of all mankind?
Time after time we stood united on we go

Fly far away don't let the world pass you by
Live for the day when we must stand and survive
Now we face the judgment day our souls will feel the pain
Hear the screams of my world through the rain

Silent fields of despair my tears in the rain
Pain in my heart bleeding through
One day we'll be back for one moment in time
Endlessly searching for you...

Who can cure my emptiness inside for this time?
Suffering from loneliness my dreams and hopes will die
No more feelings left inside my blackened heart I cannot hide
Time after time our souls divided on we cry

Fly far away don't leave your own past behind
Live for the day another year passes by
Now we turn to face our fear there's nothing more to say
Still your dreams and my nightmares remain

Silent fields of despair my tears in the rain...

#6 Dante's Prayer (Loreena McKennit)

When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone

I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and the fire

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Please remember me
Please remember me, ...

#7 Afterlife (Dream Theater)

I touched with one
Who made me run
Away from my own soul...
In this world with its
Many illusions
We are moving like mice through a maze

And now I find
What's left behind
Has served to make me whole
Full of doubt, deception, and delusion
Seeking purpose to all earthly days

I search within
Beneath a skin
That bears both pleasure and pain
In a world full of constant confusion
I will not be a par to the craze

in the afterlife
will dark be bright?
will cold be warm?
will the day have no night?
in the afterlife?
will the blind have sight?
in the afterlife.

Behind closed eyes
Some comfort lies
In knowing the truth never spoken
Through this world with its
Hidden conclusion
We'll keep moving like mice through a maze

in the afterlife
will dark be bright?
will cold be warm?
will the day have no night?
in the afterlife?
will the blind have sight?
in the afterlife.

in the afterlife
will dark be bright?
will cold be warm?
will the day have no night?
in the afterlife?
will the blind have sight?
in the afterlife.

#8 The Wall (Kansas)

I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
And with each passing day I feel a little
more like something dear was lost
It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between,
All I am, and all that I would ever want be
It's just a travesty, towering, marking
off the boundaries my spirit would erase

To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side,
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air
It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see

Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me I know it well
The treasures that I seek are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find
And though it's always been with me, I must tear down the Wall and let it be
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
THERE IS NO LOSS

#9 Run, Wolf Warrior, Run (Yoko Kanno)

Run, wolf warrior, to ends eternal
Through the wreckage of the death of the day
Scent of silence under starlight spinning
A captured beast within a human skin

Are you searching for long lost landscapes
Lit by flowers and crystal cascades?
Where the lamb lies down with the lion
Where the wolf is one with the wild

Run, wolf warrior, through kingdoms' chaos
Senseless cities and ghost towns towering
Howl, O hunter, though few know you're crying
Face upturned into that midnight moon

Are you hunting for mystic mountains
Where the air is like liquid laughter?
Where the beasts inherit the earth
Where the last again will be first

Run, wolf warrior, to hide your hunger
The rain will wash away the pains of the day
In your eyes there are cold fires burning
Tongues of flame that can never be tamed

Are you running from Man's delusion
Majestic madness and your exclusion
To where the lamb lies down with the lion?

Are you running down ancient pathways
Through this dark and deserted land
To where man is once more a child?

Are you running to freedom's fortress
By the side of wide open seas
Where the wolf is one with the wild?

Run, run, run...

Run, run, run, run, run, run on, run on through the rain...

#10 Ash Rose (Helen Trevillion)

Sweet, sweet like the rain drowning my heart
Come kiss me again.
Deep, deep like the sea
An ocean so warm, surrounding me

Oh ride the winds over the skies
To the bounds of time
Open the door
To find something more
More than a beautiful dream.

High over the sea
Watching the waters crawl beneath me
And the air claws at my eyes
Driving me wild into the skies

Oh follow me into the blue
Leave your world behind
And open the door
To find something more
More than an innocent dream.

How sweet the voice of reverie
'neath the moon it sang to me
Fragile words to lull my trust
Rose to ash and ash to dust.

How cold the touch of falling snow
Still my tears I shall not show
For I know that joy was mine
Frozen memories ever shine.

#1 Excerpt from "Dreamland" by Edgar Allen Poe

"...Bottomless vales and boundless floods,
And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods,
With forms that no man can discover
For the tears that drip all over;
Mountains toppling evermore
Into seas without a shore;
Seas that restlessly aspire,
Surging, unto skies of fire;
Lakes that endlessly outspread
Their lone waters- lone and dead,-
Their still waters- still and chilly
With the snows of the lolling lily.

By the lakes that thus outspread
Their lone waters, lone and dead,-
Their sad waters, sad and chilly
With the snows of the lolling lily,-
By the mountains- near the river
Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever,-
By the grey woods,- by the swamp..."

*#2 Section from "Hands Held High" by Linkin Park
"Hands held high into a sky so blue,
As the ocean opens up to swallow you..."

#3 Section from "The Glass Prison" by Dream Theater
"Enter the door
Desperate
Fighting no more
Help me restore
To my sanity
At this temple of hope

I need to learn
Teach me how
Sorrow to burn
Help me return
To humanity
I'll be fearless and thorough
To enter this temple of hope

Believe
Transcend the pain
Living the life
Humility
Opened my eyes
This new odyssey
Of rigorous honesty

Serenity
That I never knew
Soundness of mind
Helped me to find
Courage to change
All the things that I can"
