thus is the story
told by two dreams
that became a lamentation
and a song...



[the queen]
we were down by the isle when you showed me your grave
you took my hand and led me there
it was all alone in a tall grass meadow
it laid there lonely and scared

and you raised your eyes and showed me a smile
you kept on walking that road
with heart cold as ice and burning eyes
I knew you would finally say

[the beast]
all hail the winter queen
loving eyes but shivers within
you were right to cover us all
in your cold heart's winter fall

all hail the shivering queen
drug us all in your winter's dream
in the storm no one heard my scream
you were cold all the way from within

[the queen]
I remember that snow so beauty and grace
heard a tear drop in your soul
and those meadows kept singing
flutes in the wind

no heartbeat braking the sound of the streams
no sunbeams to color, world as dark as it seems
and I sat there and cried
with you by my side
I never told you I lied

[the beast]
all hail the coming storm
now it's bright but soon it begun
in my sleep I saw you smiling at me
I just thought I was free...

shadow world what's left of my life
all's been hope and painful insights
now I'm crying and dying inside
you were telling a lie
and still you are right

[voices]
we are the night we know it all
we are the eyes behind your back
we know it all
we are the watchers watching as you fall
we were that night
we saw it all

[the beast]
do I hear my thoughts
speaking at me
hearing the truth
but still cannot see

[the queen]
if they could only tell you
tell you how I feel
no winter ever going to comfort me now
no flutes nor meadows will bring back the sound
of your laughter and words
in this cruel lonely world
if you could only see
how I loved you
