Music of the Night..

Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation...
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination..
Silently the sense abandon their defences...

Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour...
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender...
Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night...

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before...

Softly, deftly, music shall surround you...
Feel it, hear it, closing in around you...
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of the music of the night...

Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me...

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
to the power of the music that I write -
the power of the music of the night...

You alone can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night...

*how i loved this song.. makes the night so calm.. and gentle.. yet so strong.. and powerful..

Masquerade
Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade...
Masquerade!
Hide your face, so the world will never find you!

Masquerade!
Every face a different shade...
Masquerade!
Look around - there's another mask behind you!

Flash of mauve...
Splash of puce...
Fool and king...
Ghoul and goose...
Green and black...
Queen and priest...
Trace of rouge...
Face of beast...

Faces...
Take your turn, take a ride on the merry-round...
in an inhuman race...

Eye of gold...
Thigh of blue...
True is false...
Who is who...?
Curl of lip...
Swirl of gown...
Ace of hearts...
Face of clown...

Faces...
Drink it in, drink it up,
till you've drowned in the light...
in the sound...
But who can name the face...?

Masquerade!
Grinning yellows, spinning reds...
Masquerade!
Take your fill - let the spectacle astound you!

Masquerade!
Burning glances, turning heads...
Masquerade!
Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you!

Masquerade!
Seething shadows, breathing lies...
Masquerade!
You can fool any friend who ever knew you!

Masquerade!
Leering satyrs, peering eyes...
Masquerade!
Run and hide - but a face will still pursue you!

*and everyone wears a mask. you can fool any friend who ever knew you..

Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again
You were once my one companion...
you were all that mattered...
You were once a friend and father -
then my world was shattered..

Wishing you were somehow here again...
wishing you were somehow near...
Sometimes it seemed, if I just dreamed,
somehow you would be here...

Wishing I could hear your voice again...
knowing that I never would...
Dreaming of you wont help me to do
all that you dreamed I could...

Passing bells and sculpted angels,
cold and monumental,
seem, for you, the wrong companions -
you were warm and gentle...

Too many years fighting back tears...
Why cant the past just die...?

Wishing you were somehow here again...
knowing we must say goodbye...
Try to forgive...
teach me to live...
give me the strength to try...

No more memories, no more silent tears...
No more gazing across the wasted years...
Help me say goodbye.

*reminds me of my dad..
