1. NOW ARRIVING

(Intro)

2. TIME MARCHES ON

You know
We go
Through life and all its wonders like a race that's to be won
Slow down, care for the moments remaining
In time
Our lives, they seem a moment in time
We'll see the truth and nothing more
As time marches on....

We should
Cherish
The time we have together, 'cause we won't be back again!
You know,
Love is the only forever
In time.
Our lives, they seem a moment in time
We'll see the truth and nothing more
As time marches on....

What is life except a stage?
You spend the years rehearsing for another time that's yet to come
And all your works and all your dreams and all your thoughts are
Just a mote in the eye of eternity
Yet there's a reason for it all
There is a place for us if we don't give into the hand time
This portion of the dream that we can see is not the real world --

Time to awaken!

3. LLIUSION

In time outtakes of silken pleasure ever lost
Slight focal points of crossing threads that never seem to get it all across
That fiber haunts you
And yet each meeting takes you further in
Each sharing subtle shades of

Light...Joy...the blinding of your eyes
The passion that relinquishes all being

Sharp...Flow...and nothing more to know
Perception is the essence of our seeing

Touch topographic tales inconsequential tones
Wrapped up in tragic triviality
The farce of fleeting copulation

The death we live by

And still each day the tick tock lilies bloom
And still each day I feel the

Time...Stream....dance tendrils of your mind
Caress my soul and call it forth to seeing

Fall...Fast...to emptiness at last
Deception is the essence of our being

Two touch and three are made
Animal's grunt and human beings come forth from dust
You can't trust your own eyes
You can't trust your own sighs
You can't trust your own wise musings....
but you do anyway...
Confusion is reality!

Slight angel dancer bamboo razor drawing blood
Give birth to butterflies of deepening maturity so radiant...
or did I blink?
You know it's carpe diem laissez-faire
We grow immortal through the

(repeat both choruses)

4. THE WAY TO HER HEART

She walks the wind, she rides on the light
Out of the darkness and into my night
If I could find the right words to say
Her touch is so near, and yet a world away

There's a long road between us
But I can't turn away
God if you're listening, give me a sign,
And show me the way... to her heart.

Every time she's near, I feel alive
Her visage haunts me each time I close my eyes
Can she feel the pain in my heart?
Does she understand?

There's a long road between us
But I can't turn away
God if you're listening, give me a sign,
And show me the way... to her heart.

8. LE DANSE FINAL

Sleepy head upon the pillow
The light of day, a memory...
In the dream he stood before her
It nearly chills me to the bone
she did not know

She was more than he had hoped for
And now he'd never let her go
she did not know

Sometimes life is full of mystery
It seems she never had a chance
When her innocence betrayed her

And she began the final dance...

9. THAT HIDEOUS STRENGTH

The Lion speaks:

Look into these eyes of fire my child
They have watched you all these years
I have kept you from the enemy
Lliusion is the King of Fear
I cannot save you now

Lliusion replies:
Don't listen to the fool on His bloody cross
Upon your ears his words be lost
His teeth will rend, His eyes will burn
From the Lion there's naught to learn!

Can you tell me, can you tell me 'bout the face of fire?

The king of empty promises calls me a liar?
With a Hideous Strength I steal from you,
I spit at you, I laugh at you!!

The Lion speaks:
Now we've reached the point of no return
And where you go I cannot be...

10. ENDA THE LION

(Interlude)

11. INTO THE NIGHT

Captive of silence, the echoes of time
Lured you to doom with the sorcery rhyme
Lying on stone in the vault of your tears
Silent, unmoving through passage of years
Into the night, as still as can be
Never to wake up, nor ever be free
Into the night, into the night
Lying in silence
Forevermore
Passing time beyond measure
and fading away
Into the darkness, into the night
Into the darkness, into the night
Forevermore.
Love beyond love in the cavern you wait
Far beyond light, far beyond fate
Crimson the eyes of the Lion in your dreams
He is so much more than he seems
Wake now My child, time to come home!
Passing time beyond measure,
And fading away
Into the darkness, into the night
Into the darkness, into the night
Into the darkness, into the night
Forevermore....

12. HEAVEN

Now she peers into the eyes of the Lion
And as she does a mystery is revealed
Something hidden, just beyond the tears
Power no mere mortal yet can wield

The mask is stripped away
And night time turns to day
A lion yet a lamb before her stands
The eyes you stare into
And looking back at you
He is revealed the Son of Man

Heaven lies beyond the next curve of the road
And with a simple smile He turns to lead her away
The tears are wiped away,the pain of years is taken
and forever she is freed
If you could see her face
as she comes to the place she will forever remain
Free to be a child free as the wind as wild
She resides in glory evermore
Nevermore to die, the sweetest by and by
Grace unbounded forevermore

Now the end of the dream is before you
Now the glory, the martyr is coming home!

Time beyond time, the color of all we do
Now the space beyond reason for me and you
Run as the child to the wind of the season
Free as the wind in the space beyond time!
Crimson the eyes of the echoes of reason
Enter the realm of the truth of the rhyme
Lay down her head in the field of the flowers
Reaching to heaven will bring forth the day!

Throw off the chains for the mortal is done away
Her heart is breaking for joy unknown
All is as one and forever in all we do!
Radiant angel, Forgiven and crying love
Residing in rapture the life from above
All is as one and forever in all we do!
Radiant angel, Forgiven and crying love
Residing in rapture, the life that exists above!
