Where there is light there is a chance left, Through this land we have lost our way, The darkness in the east is spreading, Fields and homes all burned to grey,

I’m afraid for the dark, let my life be the spark,

I am a warrior for my namesake, There is no one I call my friend, The roads lead me ever onwards, Flow like rivers I'll cross in the end,

I look down on white water suffering, Chosen I stand above, to care for the frail, But my wings are tainted,  after being dragged through the rain,

Fade away my friend, Gone is the innocence of youth,  Is truly nothing sacred to you.  Tell me the truth.

Chasing through the woods, Is but never should, We chased them all away, Lost in treetops high, Staring at the sky, Crying we are truly free,

Take the hope, my love, Shade them from the enemy, Show old souls the way, And give meaning to the mystery,

There is a path, A way I know is true, I must continue on, Though I’ll be bleeding before it is through,

I reach out in the dark, Though I know there is no one to touch, Can you make the choice, Before the need gets too much,

Take the hope, my love, Shade them from the enemy, Show old souls the way, And give meaning to the mystery,

You choose glory, my friend, But darkness rules the walled city, Don’t set the prisoner free, But let your own freedom be,

Changes have come, Too soon for most to ignore, We all lose time, Recalling how it was before,

Lines are drawn, In the stones I have thrown, Lost to the winds, They grow weary of being alone,

Take the hope, my love, Shade them from the enemy, Show old souls the way, And give meaning to the mystery,

Let me choose my fate,

And let me lie awake, 

Through dreams I have made,

I have let my flowers grow, 

but the seeds of my own ambitions have caught wind.

Forgotten who I am and let me loose of my sins,

  Reluctance to follow myself to sorrow,

And a violin plays my last tune as I leave the stage,

  Inside the dark, 

There is light in my eyes,

Dreamer you say, 

There is hope for the wise,

  There in the night, 

There is a lantern ablaze,

Follow the stream, 

Through the forest showing our ways,

  So the path that leads me on,

It leads me to my home,

But the wolf in my soul has gone hunting once again, 

The pack I call my own is waiting there for me, 

  But have I been alone too long on my own,

The lonesome wolf howls on the mountain in my mind,

  Inside the dark, 

There is light in my eyes,

Dreamer you say, 

There is hope for the wise,

There in the night, 

There is a lantern ablaze,

Follow the stream, 

Through the forest showing our ways,

(Dreamer comes, has his fun, then is done,) 

(Change my life, stilled with love, in the night)   

Inside the dark, 

There is light in my eyes,

Dreamer you say, 

There is hope for the wise,

There in the night, 

There is a lantern ablaze,

Follow the stream, 

On the day I was born they were told to remember,

This child will bring the fire and make nations surrender,

The wise women told my mother,

He is Stormborn and there is no other,

There was a cold wind over the moor,

With torches burning they found what they were looking for,

A figure of peace, a cross of forgiveness,

To banish doubt and welcome selfishness,   

Bring forth the lightning,

Let the rain pour down on me,

Let them know that I am here,

A child of the storm come to set you all free,

I have faith in the good in you she says with a smile,

You can see the belief in her eyes, she almost believes it herself,

Call's to the sky like the is someone to hear her, 

But she leaves a wake of lost hearts of anyone near her, 

Darkness follows me like a cloak of sin,

But you ask me find the truth in him?

Change your ways, your forgiveness is a lie,

I can see the doubt grow like a blight in your eyes, 

Bring forth the lightning,

Let the rain pour down on me,

Let them know that I am here,

A child of the storm come to set you all free,

I challenge your lord, let him show himself today,

Lightning shows the truth and burns all else away,

Bring forth the lightning,

Let the rain pour down on me,

Let them know that I am here,

A child of the storm come to set you all free,

He is stormborn and there is no other,

Colours are my doorway,

As I am leaving this town,

The 5 o’clock planes waitin’

And the snow is falling down,

I see my breath rising, 

as a dove to the sky,

I shiver in the warmth of memories,

If I tell you I won't miss you,

It would be a lie,  

There isn't a night when I don't hear her words,

I run, now the winter is here, 

Stark in the crowded utopia,

The friends I’ve made will remain.

Send them back to their homelands,

but our lives will never be the same,

I’ve touched the shyness of a lover unchained,

I’ve watched how the whispers can flow down the drain,

I’ve seen how your heart breaks with a look from their eye,

I’ve heard herd softest footsteps of of love pass me by,

There isn't a night when I don't hear her words,

I run, now the winter is here, 

I wish I had flown south with the birds,

I fly for a while,

to where I am shown

To the southern reaches of my home,

Where I have been,

There can be no return,

But the choices I made,

Have taught me to learn,

  All my friends are far away,

Scattered amongst the world,

Like seeds to the wind 

Follow me down,

Past barley and hay,

Past hidden lovers,

All fades away,

Do you remember,

In the days long ago,

When the Kingfishers dives,

Showed the truth in your soul,

Caught on the wind,

My feathers may fly.

But forever I lead the light from the sky,

Autumnal sun lays the wheat fields low,

As I sit on a branch by the rivers flow,

The chosen have come to wash sins away,

dressed in white and grateful to pay,

Darkness falls as the moon shines down,

There stands a girl in a silken gown,

Her tears are real,

and water flows on,

from a choiceless love,

he has given her none,

Albion’s calls are written in stone,

From across the sea I dream alone,

I miss the rivers and fields of gold,

I dream in a land of eternal cold,  

All my friends are far away,

Scattered amongst the world,

Like seeds to the wind 

This is my life now,

Dreaming on wing,

All I can write,

And all I can sing,

Do you remember,

In the days long ago,

When the Kingfishers dives,

Showed the truth in your soul,

Caught on the wind,

My feathers may fly.

Faceless is the dawn,

When all there is is darkness,

Colours are the doorway without a handle,

Paint a girls face,

Her dress blows in the non existent wind, 

Wild and free for eternity, caught in the sepia dreamscape, 

Leaden branches cover my face,

And are as grey green eyelids of a face unseen. 

Courted as a lover but comes to be,

nothing less than a changeless fantasy,

Tonight the children sang for freedom but all they receive are lies,

See the need for love in their darkened eyes, 

Learn the truth but to gain new chains,

Born a wolf but seen as a sheep,

I can wait outside forever,

I may wonder why I came,

On the fringes of the world,

I'm the one who takes the blame,

Fading in the darkness,

Throw my candle to the rain,

Sometimes the night goes on forever,

But the dawn comes just the same, 

  Why don't you believe me,

When I say "you're all I need",

Chances are you won't believe me,

Seems I must be leaving,

Save me from the frozen heart,

Wo oh oho oh

Can you hear the wind at your door,

I am here again ,

Left to be the white wolf's friend,  

I know life is always true,

But I don't want to waste away,

I am a dreamer always dreaming,

To where I can escape,

Slowly I will remember,

Of the nights I do regret,

Given love by many strangers,

Who again are never met,

When will I be free,

When you tell me "you're all I need",

Chances are you won't believe me,

Seems I must be leaving,

Save me from the frozen heart,

Wo oh oho oh

Can you hear the wind at your door,

I am here again ,

The year is 1807,

My name is captain James Wallis,

After october the 21st 1805,

I gave chase to one of the surviving ships in the battle,

We reach our journeys end in the ends of the earth, 

Seeking out glory and the odyssey,   

Where is my chance?

With the wind on my shoulder blowing,

I go where the passage leads 

Falling waves in the damp light showing,

Midshipmen cries do you have a bearing,

As the boom catches him on the head,

The foremast is broken in two,

But we must continue true in our stead,

We are the brave,

Highest is our dedication,

Reason to fight,  

King george and home's salvation,

Where are our sails?

Forever we will be free,

Make our oath never broken,

To catch the burning Odyssey,

Faced with the twilight, 

As the lamps go out one by one,

Dowsing our hopes of tomorrow,

With the fading of the sun,

But cries of huzzah are heard,

As an escutcheon comes to being,

Hark is called from the gangway,

It's the Convertine and the french are fleeing,     

We are the brave,

Highest is our dedication,

Reason to fight,  

King George and home's salvation,

Where are our sails?

Forever we are free,

Make our oath,

To catch the burning Odyssey,

We are the brave,

Highest is our dedication,

We're homeward bound,  

To King George and home's salvation

I hear the calls ?

Forever we will remember,

She lies burning,

the burning of the Odyssey,

Ships log 22nd december 1809,

The French ship "The Odyssey" is but a dilapidated carcass,

Many were lost that will not return to the green shores of home,

All there is,

Lies in front of me,

Calling to my very soul,

Scream to the wind, 

Can you hear me,

Childless as the enemy,

That stole my home,

She stands on a mountain,

With her hands bound to her dreams,

And cries to the sky,

My heart has forsaken me,

Snow topped stones of memory,

So let my spirit fly,

Chance comes in many ways,

To see it is to lose sight of all else,

Something to believe is all I need,

Yet the heavy cross nor the olive branch hold no pleasure or release,

Calls echo through the valley,

Find the dark ones, let them bleed,

As torches burn bright,

Salem have mercy,

We are free, but caught again in misery,

And let my spirit guide,

Chosen we have been,

To set example to our progeny,

As the woods are set alight,

But laughter comes from the earth,

As new life shows its worth,

Back when the days were longer

We'd stand on the cliffs and ponder

Seasons move so fast,

for how long will they last,  

Fleeting our lives have been,

And all is not as it seems,

Like a singer and his song,

We go on and on,

Tales are like a thread,

Dreaming in an empty bed,

Fly away,

Climbing mountains to the stars,

Closer we get, the farther they are away,  

I am the forest in winter,

Hidden yet still alive. 

Here I stand, as reason calls me, 

Forsaken by the world and deprived, 

Listen child my mother used to say, 

These words are my own and will never fade,

Stay true to your heart she said,

But rule your life with the voice in your head, 

Give all you can to those you love,

And let them see the truth is enough,

Weaving through the winded leaves,

Straying from the path it seems,

Fly away,

Her face is fading in the white,

Closer I get, the farther she is away,  

I am the forest in winter,

Hidden yet still alive. 

Here I stand, as reason calls me, 

I stand here as the storm calls my name,

And the reasons for life will be shown,

As the winds from the south blow into my face,

And as hail is mistaken for snow,

Who is the figure I see before me,

who is it shelters my ways,

branches of trees shading the cold light,

as the wolves give up the chase,

Where are the winters I have longed for,

Silver and white in my mind,

Changed they have been by forces unknown,

and left me broken and blind,

Onwards I stray towards the town,

with warm fires and joy to be found,

Blankets of snow cover the world,

But i still hear howls all around, 

Where is the solace of life in frost,

Changes are shaded and grey,

I know the winter holds many hopes, 

as the autumn spirits fade away, 

Where are the winters I have longed for,

Silver and white in my mind,

Changed they have been by forces unknown,

Falling forever,

I shall be free,

Calling to save me,

Lie beneath me,

Seems I must wander forever,

Lonely,

Take me behind the shade,

Of your life,

Off your love, 

And share the light from above,

Take me beyond tranquility

Show me a life, forgotten,

Release me, so the beast can be free,

Let me run in the falling rain,

Love me once, remember,

So I can begin again,

Dreaming together,

Eternally,

Light fades and people change,

But courage still remains,

Let them fall beneath your kind eyes,

Seems I will never call to the,

Sanguine,

Take me behind the rain,

In my life,

In my love, 

And share the light from above,

Take me beyond tranquility

Show me a life, forgotten,

Release me, so the beast can be free,

Let me run,

Love me once, 

In the falling rain,

Take me beyond tranquility

Show me a life, forgotten,

Release me, so the beast can be free,

Let me run in the falling rain,

Love me once, remember,

So I can begin again,
