FREEDOM (Track #1)
|
| Abelard |
I fly where the winds kiss the blue sky,
To find places scented and lush.
I whisper my dreams to the noon thrush
And never let sweet freedom die.
I've fled from my tomb of contentment.
I've cut through the teeth of their chains.
I've broken my bonds of resentment,
Loosened the grip on their reins.
Openly she teaches,
Goddess of all seasons.
Silently she speaks my name.
Cast your cares upon her,
Goddess of all reasons,
And you'll never be the same.
I play in her courtyard at night-fall,
Worship her song without shame.
Like water on fire near the sea-wall
Freedom sets my world aflame.
Light up all the heavens.
Soar up to the summit.
And you'll never plummet down.
|
Abelard &
Chorus |
Fantasy so wondrous,
Ecstasy so luminous,
Freedom's her eternal name.
Freedom. Freedom. |
| Abelard |
Freedom's her eternal name. |
SONG OF MY SOUL (Track #2)
|
| Héloïse |
For every song I sing,
For every melody I write
You bring the words,
You make them rhyme.
You hold the beat
And wake the time.
|
| Abelard |
I yearn to sing your songs,
Learn to play your melody,
And hear how sweet the tunes repeat,
The song of my soul. |
| Héloïse |
I seek your face in everyone I meet. |
| Abelard |
I hear your song from eve to morn. |
| Both |
I open my arms and I dance to the beat,
but you're gone. |
| Héloïse |
Someday the dance will last.
I will be there until the end.
And we'll hear, we'll understand
How right is our song. |
| Both |
Then we'll see
A magic that will set us free, |
| Abelard |
A magic that will always last,
|
| Héloïse |
A wonder that will hold us fast, |
| Both |
A song that never ends. |
| Héloïse |
You are my voice. |
| Abelard |
You are my song, |
| Both |
Song of my soul. |
THE WORLD'S GREATEST LOVER (Track #3)
|
| Guibert |
Lovely Blanche,
Sweet fleur de France,
Born again Blanche,
Please give me a second chance.
I am the world's greatest lover.
The greatest lover in the world
I know the game much better than the rest.
If you give me a chance
You'll go down with the best.
Through history they'll sing of your name.
The world's greatest lover
will bring you fame. |
| Blanche |
You'll find I require a villa by the sea,
With lavender skies
making love near a tree. |
| Guibert |
You'll have that villa,
you'll have that sea.
You'll have that tree,
if you love me. |
| Blanche |
You'll find I require a bejewelled bed.
With jasmine and lilacs,
and silk for my head. |
| Guibert |
You'll have that jasmine,
you'll have those lilacs,
You'll have that bed, if you love me. |
| Blanche |
You'll find I demand a phallus of flame,
Eternally rising
that never goes lame. |
| Guibert |
You'll have that phallus,
you'll have that rising,
You'll have that flame,
if you love me. |
| Blanche |
I know the game much better than the rest.
If you give me a chance
you'll go down with the best. |
| Both |
Through history they'll sing of your name.
The world's greatest lover,
Will bring you fame. |
| Guibert |
I am the world's greatest lover,
The greatest lover in the world. |
| Both |
I know the game much better than the rest.
If you give me a chance
You'll go down with the best.
Through history they'll sing of your name.
The world's greatest lover,
The world's greatest lover,
Will bring you fame! |
FIRE (Track #4)
|
| Abelard |
When the day is dark and empty,
When the jealous sun has gone astray,
I seek out what's deep inside me
To find that fire that lights my way:
Fire that clarifies my vision,
Fire that strengthens and makes new,
Purifying my decision,
To do what only I can do.
Where the bridge is broken I'll put new stone.
Where the truth is hidden I'll make it known.
Where the metal's tarnished I'll make it glow.
Where the fountain's stopped I'll make it flow.
Where the candle's out I'll find new light.
Where the wise are blind I'll be their sight.
Where the grape is sour I'll bring new wine.
Where the task is hopeless I'll make it mine:
To find that rose without a thorn.
To shape new worlds yet to be born,
To feed my passion with desire,
And show the world I'm made of fire.
Where the king fears war we'll work for peace.
Where injustice prevails I'll make it cease.
Where the stranger’s homeless he'll be my guest.
Where the merchant's weary I'll find him rest.
If the world stands still I'll make it dance.
If the dream seems hopeless I'll take a chance.
If the orphans hurt I'll right his wrong.
If the music dies I'll sing my song.
After all that must be given,
I know I will never tire
Of sharing dreams for which I've striven,
And show the world I'm made of fire,
Of fire, Of fire. |
DO I HOLD YOU (Track #5)
|
| Abelard |
Do I hold you?
Do I ask you to go, do I touch you?
If I dare what I dream would I frighten you?
Would I make a scene and cause you to turn away? |
| Héloïse |
Do I hold you?
Do I ask you to stay? Do I kiss you?
If I dare what I mean I would find a way
To hold you and make you stay in my arms. |
| Abelard |
I can't dream at night without seeing you.
I can't see you standing there and not touch you.
I can't touch you and not want you.
I can't forget you no matter what I do. |
| Héloïse |
I'm not worried
That the dark of the night will deceive us.
For the light of your love |
| Abelard |
And the truth in your touch |
| Both |
Will protect us. |
| Abelard |
I must hold you.
I must ask you to stay I must touch you. |
| Both |
I don't care what they say, what they think, what they do
I must hold you, I must hold you
Hold you. |
NOW AND ALWAYS (Track #6)
|
| Héloïse |
Now and always
Together we'll be.
We’ll turn space upside down,
Call time a clown,
Live faithful and free,
Now, now and always. |
| Abelard |
Wherever you go
I'll be at your side.
No ocean’s too wide.
No horizon's too far, we'll conquer a star. |
| Both |
You're my rainbow of light.
You're my hands, you're my sight.
You're the only way that I know. |
| Abelard |
You're the mountain I seek.
You're the stars at the peak. |
| Both |
You're the water that I'm thirsting for,
Ever more. |
| Héloïse |
Wherever you go
I'll be at your side,
No ocean's too wide.
No horizon's too far.
We'll conquer a star. |
| Both |
Now and always.
Now and always.
Now, now and always.
Now, now and always.
Now and always. |
DON'T TURN AWAY (Track #7)
|
| Abelard |
I've seen the troubled look within your eyes.
I've heard the worried sighs behind the smiles.
We knew the risks right from the start.
What could we do but choose the heart?
Don't turn away from me sadly.
Don't let me hear your goodbye.
Don't turn away from me sadly.
Let's show them how we can fly. |
| Héloïse |
Their jealousy is sad and all too clear.
Why should we let them interfere?
They call us dreamers ever fools,
But they are trapped within their rules.
Don't turn away from me sadly.
Don't let me hear your goodbye.
Don't turn away from me sadly.
Let's show them how we can fly. |
| Abelard |
Don't turn away from me, don't turn away. |
| Both |
Our love will outshine the light of the day. |
| Héloïse |
This fire inside can never never lie.
A thousand oceans cannot make it die.
Our love will last beyond the years.
Our passion sweep away the fears. |
| Both |
Don't turn away from me sadly.
Don't let me hear your goodbye.
Don't turn away from me sadly.
Let's show them how we can fly. |
| Abelard |
Don't turn away from me. |
| Héloïse |
Let's show them. |
| Abelard |
Don't turn away from me. |
| Héloïse |
Let's show them. |
| Abelard |
Don't turn away from me. |
| Héloïse |
Let's show them. |
| Both |
Don't turn away from me
Don't turn away from me
Don't turn away from me
now |
MISERERE (Track #8)
|
| Chorus |
Miserere, miserere nobis.
Miserere nobis, Domine.
Miserere, miserere nobis.
Miserere nobis, Domine.
Agnus dei dona nobis pacem.
Agnus dei dona nobis pacem,
Pacem, pacem.
Miserere, miserere nobis.
Miserer nobis, Domine.
Miserere, miserere nobis.
Miserer nobis, Domine.
Agnus dei,
Agnus dei,
Dona nobis pacem. Agnus dei,
Dona nobis pacem,
Pacem, pacem. |
DEAR HUSBAND, DEAR WIFE (Track #9)
|
| Héloïse |
Oh Peter, I miss you so much,
I'm hardly surviving without you.
My memory is my torturer,
My imagination my punishment.
Dear husband, friend and lover,
My home, my strength, my art,
For me there is no other.
I'm lost when we're apart.
My days are endless winter.
At night I'm filled with fear.
Each dream a sad reminder,
Of when I held you near.
When the wind moves through this empty arid place,
And the seasons start to turn,
I'd demand if I could,
Demand that you return.
Dear soul companion, brother,
Dear teacher, husband, love,
For me there is no other,
Dear husband, friend
Dear love.
|
| Abelard |
Eternal friend and lover,
My home, my strength, my art,
For me there is no other.
I'm lost when we're apart.
We will triumph over all strife.
We will love even to the end.
For together we've found real life.
Dear constant friend,
Dear wife. |
I'LL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU (Track #10)
|
| Héloïse |
I'll always be with you,
I'll always be there.
I'll always be with you,
I'll always care. |
Abelard
Both
|
I'll always be there,
I'll always be with you,
I'll always be there.
I'll always be with you,
I'll always care.
Always, always,
Always care,
Always.
|
RAGE OF THE HEART (Track #11)
|
| Chorus |
Now in the end is a beginning.
Now in the end is a reckoning.
Now in the end is a beginning.
|
| Guibert |
Papa! Papa! Papa!
Teach me what you've learned.
Though our life's work be destroyed,
Though our body and spirit be abused,
Nothing will ever destroy us.
The person who's faithful to the fire of the heart will never be
vanquished.
Fly through the rage,
The desperate rage of the heart.
Soar through the rage,
The triumphant rage of the heart.
Look around. It's where we started from.
Look around and see you're not the same.
Look around and see how far you've come,
Look around. You've learned your name.
Fly through the rage,
The desperate rage of the heart.
Soar through the rage,
The triumphant rage of the heart.
Look around and see how far we've flown.
Look around. We're in a different place.
Look around and see your not alone.
Look around into each other's face
In the mocking laugh of suffering
When our song had seemed to die,
Who could stop us from surrendering
Who could teach us how to fly?
In the empty games of hoping
Where the magic tricks were lies
Who could stop us from embracing,
Who could smother all our cries?
In the moment or the yearning,
In the passion of the dream,
Who could stop us from discearning
Where we've been and what we've seen?
In the madness of the jabbering,
When the word seemed at an end,
Who could stop us from exploring,
There are mountains to ascend?
Fly through the rage,
The desperate rage of the heart.
Soar through the rage,
The triumphant rage of the heart. |
