1.

Turn From Heaven

[Female citizens:]
Morning...
Birth of the sun
And all therein has been reclaimed

[Male citizens:]
We're all as one

[Female and male citizens:]


Turn from heaven
Turn from heaven

2. Where Will You Go?

[Seth:]
Woe to you, earth and sea
Who may hold the lock and key?
Lift from me infant smiles
Chase the sleep from my newborn eyes

[Parish members:]
Eyes with the light of true disciples
Turn to behold your new way
Where will you go, beloved brother
Into the judgement day?

[Seth:]
Lamb of God, names divine
Rise but soon shall decline
Stars of old raise their spears
Crack my shield, pierce my tears

[Parish members:]
Dark is the night that leads from heaven
Floating on light - a true hell
Hear, can you hear a choir of angels
Bid you a last farewell

3. Through Dust Through Rain

[Sophia:]
Dear child of mine, pain turns to destiny...
Down from the mountains, in the form of a rose
The thunder of oceans shall bring forth the ghost
Of an infinite star that will rest in my tree
Like the full moon of night
Descending like me
Such is my journey
No matter where my spirit shall travel
You will be there...

[Helena:]
Winter sheds its grief in snow
Summer weeps
It must be so
Thus let thee live
Unseen, unknown
Light is the body and no more than a shell
Releasing our spirits to heaven or hell
While embracing my love to let go of your hand
And to reach for a kingdom forgotten by man
Forgive my sister, she would not come
This travel, she said, you must do alone...

[Sophia:]
Bring to heart Johanna's name
Through my blood you share the same
To hold, to keep through dust, through rain

[Helena:]
Say you knew
Yes only you could grow the seeds of time
Run and flow through silver snow
Of mountains spring must climb
From this hill, to waters still
My heart will guide your way
Love and wrath, my epitaph before your name I lay

4. Signs Are Here

[All:]
In the grace of God we trust
In the grace of God we trust
In the grace of God we trust
In the grace of God we trust
Watching the sign of the Capricorn
Daughters and sons of Adam
Darkness, Johanna
No longer sworn to cross the path of heaven

[Agnes:]
Enter night, enter night fallen angel Satan
Praised Master Jesus, enter thy dawn
Hallelujah

[Johanna:]
I am
...still your Johanna

[Johanna:]
Stand, dearest Agnes by my side
And Mare join her in the light
Come, let our prayer rise and shine
The flame of holy war ignite

[All:]
Jesus, save us, children of God!

[Johanna:]
Signs are here to tell of Antichrist

[All:]
Jesus, save us, children of God!

[Johanna:]
Stars align to form the end of time

[Men:]
Two paths diverge in time
Choose the one light travels by

[All:]
Free thy soul and unchain thy heart
Free thy soul and unchain thy heart
In the grace of God we trust
In the grace of God we trust
In the grace of God we trust
In the grace of God we trust

5. Never Again

[President:]
Leader of all, elected I am by you, people
Leader of all, this I have risen to be, people

[People:]
Ever, ever my friends, we stand together
Never, never again to fall from heaven

[President:]
Leader of all that is me
Leader of all the U.S.E.

[People:]
People - we are as one, heading for glory
People sing to the dawn, sing to the morning
Ever, ever my friends, we stand together
Never, never again to fall from heaven
People - we are as one, heading for glory
People sing to the dawn, sing to the morning

6. Bring Her Home

[Helena:]
Hear my prayer, thee almighty God
For my mother - bring her home
Like an angel heaven-bound
So that she may find thy side

[Priest:]
Don't sound so sad my child
No sorrow will prevail
Sophia knows every word
Be sure of this my child
I have to leave you now
No wish will be left unheard

[Seth:]
What of darkness, Nazarene
Did it haunt your heart?

[Helena:]
Who may he be?
Hope in doubt and fear
Golden atmosphere
And a cry so divine

[Seth:]
I am the real Messiah, born where Christ did fall
Soon bringing eyes to the blind
Humanity refined, I will unite them all
Become to the truth for all mankind

[Johanna:]
Sister of mine - prophets may be false
Beware what you hear and see
Tolling bells I find no singing in the chimes

[Helena:]
Join me sister as I pray:
Hear my prayer thee almighty God
For our mother - bring her home
7. The Solid Black Beyond

[Seth:]
I am climbing and searching for the words of truth
'Cause I don't know what to say
Where are you - the new tomorrow
Deep in the maze of yesterday?

My starless night may never come to fruit


I will not kneel or plead forgiveness
You turn away, gone from my heart
So - why God, should you pity me my lord
As I'm bound for darkness
You're not risen from your grave
The solid black beyond
To go where light cannot
Nazarene, that shall be my fate

[Satan:]
I am your father and you are my beloved son
Why do you seek the other one?
The crucified one?
He's not you
Receive my power; I ask nothing in return

[Seth:]
My lord - I will open up the gate
I'm the one and only now who can save us
I come in my father's name for peace

8. The Crowning Of Splendour

[Seth:]
Resolve and descent

[Satan:]
On your tongue - taste starless passion
May its nectar flow through the heart of mankind
Path of reason will take you away
Shine on my son and glow just like an ember

[Seth:]
I fall into night
I turn in a spiral
And still in my eyes - the crowning of splendour

[Seth & Satan:]


Words inflaming seeds of power
Build a temple to the dawn of man
9. Morning Has Broken

[President:]
Wisdom of insight in bloom I thought I knew
And still these pages portray it is not true
The fruit of Eden grows ripe between my hands
New age of mankind born within this man

[Wife:]
What troubles you my love?
Why are you not with me?
The dawn is soon to come
Please tell me what you see
Will we still make patterns leading to heaven's gate?

[President:]
Oh these words fly, roaming the old sky
And search high through the speechless clouds
They cross the oceans where knowledge roams the waters
Their echoes guide us to sail the hunger we long to feel
Visions of shadows, the past drowns in the dark
I hope to be there when light fulfill its spark
The tales of future shall hope soon provide
Only the truth in his words shall purify

[Wife:]
Our leader still you are, through the heavens dreams soon shall be carried far across the world
again
And my heart will stay closer to the pain

[President:]
Dearest, now hear me, you do not understand
Voices already sing throughout the land
Join me in silence and listen to the wind
In the break of dawn this morning it will begin

[Both:]
Morning has broken
A new day has begun

10. Garden Of Peace

[Helena:]
Greet the sun, bright and beautiful
What better day to be king?

[Seth:]
Such it may be - dawning of Eden
I'm here to answer its call
But in darkness I tremble in fear of tomorrow
Fate - let me go, let me fall

[Both:]
In the garden of peace, beneath ancient trees
Here is a wisdom

[Helena:]
I wish for you to share with me

[Both:]
Deep in the slumber of answers to be

[Helena:]
Sir, behold garden of delight

[Seth:]
Yes I have heard of your art

[Helena:]
Such is my life, simple but always true
I wish to share this with you

[Seth:]
When in darkness I tremble in fear of tomorrow
I will remember this day

[Helena:]
Open your heart

[Both:]
For to drown in silent rivers cold
Means that we are soon floating
On the green - forever we behold - surface

[Seth:]
Of dreams

[Both:]
In the garden of peace
We'll lay down our deeds to make them blossom unseen
To make them blossom like dreams

[Helena:]
Deep...

[Both:]
Deep in the slumber of answers to be our dreams
11. Our Destiny

[Seth:]
Buried under veils of failure from the past
Dreams are fading slowly on the ground
We search for the seeds of pride
That once used to flourish inside

People hear me - our destiny


It used to be the ghost of mirrors
Our destiny, today we see reborn amongst us
Nothing reaches heaven but the human soul
Every earthly kingdom has to fall
We stand on our own with time
Still bound for the eternal tide

People join me - our destiny


Now rest with thee, rejoice together
Our destiny shall never fail to shine forever
Now rest with thee, our destiny

12. Anthem

[Seth:]
Blessed now be all friends in faith
Placing trust deep where future burns
Peace is rising from this day on
So will all of us return

For where mornings used to bring no hope


A new form of light shall reign
The source of this left a spark in my heart
Glowing to form a tone of ending pain
Out of the darkness to rise side by side
Let's join forever to the sound of pride

[Voters:]
We will follow you Caesar Seth
You are sacred, from heaven sent
Nevermore shall we turn and flee
Truth in us shall fight for thee
In the future we will leave behind
Ceasing things we cannot find
Deep in our minds we will place hand on heart
Calling on angels you keep from the dark
Follow your light will we all, Caesar Seth
Until our savior brings the end

[Female voter:]
Trace the bloodline of ancient kings
It will tell us what future brings

[Male voter:]
Hope of lanterns within our souls
Will soon be glowing to behold

[Seth:]
Lead lost ages to your open hand
They will fall into your heart again

[Voters:]
Tomorrow we'll forge no chains for ourselves
Of peace and plenty we will live to tell
Our names take flight and this day will live on
Wingless its riding circles of the sun

13. The Palace Ball

[Guests:]
Light of moon is falling through the evening curtains
Glittering when finding jewels, gold and all
Strolling in excesses, fancy suits and dresses
Raising our glasses to the palace ball

[Helena:]
Follow me Johanna
Join me in a toast

[Johanna:]
Not so fast, Helena
Where is our host?

[Helena:]
Over there, I see him
Elegance and pride

[Johanna:]
Let us go to greet him
Look into his eyes

[Seth:]
Enchanting, yes it is to meet Madame again
Allow me now to kiss your tender little hand

[Helena:]
Such an honor, Caesar, to kneel here at your feet
Next to me, my sister, I wish for you to meet

[Seth:]
This must be Johanna
Your eyes do mine entrance
May I have the pleasure to offer you a dance?

Like wings you cross the air of our tune


As night birds do when tides obey the moon

[Johanna:]
Deeper is your soul than a waterfall
Drowning in your memory of God

[Seth:]
To dance among the somber shadows
Pain shall be the drying sun of every rain

[Johanna:]
What have you to show?
Powers from below
Powers that are dangling from a string

[Seth:]
Light and darkness are the chords we play
Two melodies will find a common way

[Johanna:]
Listen I will not to this evil plot, Caesar
So I thank you for this dance

[Guests:]
Light of moon is falling through the evening curtains
Glittering when finding jewels, gold and all
The silence is unbroken, a million words unspoken
By sleeping ghosts awoken at the palace ball

14. Jewels From Afar

[Helena:]
Lovely is this night

[Seth:]
Evening falls - nothing I do behold

[Helena:]
Moments of childhood days come back
A few precious seconds I fly out
Shining beyond the moon, my beloved star always inviting me, born of secrecy - my morning
star
Dear Majesty, oh please look at me
[Seth:]
Speak the truth, my dear
From where come the tears?

[Helena:]
Your soul I hear
It sings in silence, utterly alone

[Seth:]
Riddles in your eyes, jewels from afar
Tell the evening sky who we really are

[Helena:]
Dear Majesty, do not plague yourself
Do not turn your mind to the dark
Silence speaks to us, so sush
Let it be

[Seth:]
Angel of my dawn, take me by the hand
And your morning star will arise again

15. Hail Caesar

[People:]
Oh thee, Caesar Seth, mightiest of men, the chosen one
Light us, Caesar Seth, by your hand, the flame of liberty
Fly us, Caesar Seth, over distant land and over sea
Light us, Caesar Seth, by your hand, the flame of liberty

[Seth:]
People, I serve you for one and for all
By the devotion and hope in my heart
Yes I will bring paradise on earth
Empty of sin, proud to burn

[People:]
Caesar Seth, 'til the end and beyond do us defend
Beautiful will your art shape our world to whom you are

[Agnes:]
See, joy that thrives

[Mare:]
He seems but harmless, so mild yet so strong
Upwards to heaven he will carry us

[Johanna:]
Don't be misled, his angel eyes are dark
Hear what I say
He is false

[People:]
Caesar Seth, 'til the end and beyond do us defend
Beautiful will your art shape our world to whom you are

[Seth:]
Greet Helena, love of mine and remember this:
Never any sweeter lips could I kiss

[People:]
Hail to our Caesar, his beloved wife
And all true believers passing through time
Hail the new born season, all we do behold
Mark the age of reason prophets foretold

16. What Is Wrong?

[Mare:]
Johanna, you do not seem to rejoice
Please tell us what is wrong

[Agnes:]
Helena seems to be happy now

[Johanna:]
This was predestined, sisters
She would find his soul
Our war for salvation must go on

17. Nothing But My Name

[Seth:]
Powerful in mind and soul
Yet little I know of when to reach for the gold
And when to let it go

Through the darkness I did fall


Through the darkness I will rise
But who am I?

Trapped somehow in the silence deep - domain of myself


To my shadow I am calling
Is there anybody there?

Through the darkness I did fall


Through the darkness I will rise
But who am I?
Bearing nothing but my name, every mystery remains in the one face that sees me cry
