1. The Gift
Original Theme & Lyrics: Heusmenn, Violet
Performed by: Gregorian


Forgive is a word I am learning
If only to pass the time
I love you for all of your weakness
I love you for all your lies
Will you grow
Will you understand
The damage you caused in time
The past is behind we are facing
A punishment for the crime

[Chorus: (Amelia Brightman and chorus)]
The gift you gave me
Our sweet encounter
Became so fragile and flew with the night
I will be witness
I will not falter
Till we are risen again to the light

Would you forgive me
My heart was broken
But I will mend I will be as before
Just give me one chance
To make it better
Uhh let me be yours

Without you I´m weak and I´m listless
Without you I find I´m blind
I watch you alone, are you dreaming
Of happiness left behind
Do you drift in your heart at night
Walk through the rooms of your mind
Open the door I´ll be waiting
Remember this is your life

[Chorus: (Amelia Brightman and chorus)]
The gift you gave me
Our sweet encounter
Became so fragile and flew with the night
I will be witness
I will not falter
Till we are risen again to the light

Would you forgive me
My heart was broken
But I will mend I will be as before
Just give me one chance
To make it better
Uhh let me be yours

The gift you gave me
Our sweet encounter
Became so fragile and flew with the night
I will be witness
I will not falter
Till we are risen again to the light

Would you forgive me
My heart was broken
But I will mend I will be as before
Just give me one chance
To make it better
Uhh let me be yours

2. Bridge over troubled water
Original Theme & Lyrics: P. Simon
Performed by: Simon & Garfunkel


When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I'm on your side
Ohh when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

I'll take your part
Ohh when darkness comes
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine
Ohh if you need a friend
I’m standing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

3. With Or Without You
Original Theme & Lyrics: U2
Performed by: U2


See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you

4. Maid of Orleans
Original Theme & Lyrics: McCluskey
Performed by: OMD


If Joan of Arc
Had a heart
Would she give it as a gift

To such as me
Who longs to see
How a legend oughta be

Had dream's to give
Her heart away
Like an orphan on a way

She cared so much
She offered up
Her body to the grave

5. Angels
Original Theme & Lyrics: R. Williams
Performed by: Robbie Williams


I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'Cos I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

6. Evening Falls
Original Theme & Lyrics: Enya
Performed by: Enya


When the evening falls and the daylight is fading,
From within me calls - could it be I am sleeping?
For a moment I stray, then it holds me completely.
Close to home - I cannot say.
Close to home feeling so far away.

As I walk the room, there before me a shadow
From another world, where no other can follow.
Carry me to my own, to where I can cross over...
Close to home - I cannot say.
Close to home feeling so far away.

Forever searching; never right, I am lost
In oceans of night. Forever
Hoping I can find memories.
Those memories I left behind.

Even though I leave, will I go on believing
That this time is real - am I lost in this feeling?
Like a child passing through, never knowing the reason.
I am home - I know the way.
I am home feeling oh, so far away.

7. I’ll Find My Way Home
Original Theme & Lyrics: Vangelis
Performed by: Jon & Vangelis


You ask me where to begin
Am I so lost in my sin
You ask me where did I fall
I'll say I can't tell you when
But if my spirit is lost
How will I find what is near
Don't question I'm not alone
Somehow I'll find my way home
My sun shall rise in the east
So shall my heart be at peace
And if you're asking me when
I'll say it starts at the end
You know your will to be free
Is matched with secretly
And talk will alter your prayer
Somehow you'll find you are there.
Your friend is close by your side
And speaks in far ancient tongue
A seasons wish will come true
All seasons begin with you
A world we all come from
A world we melt into one
Just hold my hand and we're there
Somehow we're going somewhere
Somehow we're going somewhere
(Instrumental break)
You ask me where to begin
Am I so lost in my sin
You ask me where did I fall
I'll say I can't tell you when
But if my spirit is strong
I know it can't be long
No questions I'm not alone
Sometime I'll find my way home, Someow I'll find my way home
Sometime I'll find my way home, Someow I'll find my way home
Sometime I'll find my way home, Someow I'll find my way home

8. Imagine
Original Theme & Lyrics: J. Lennon
Performed by: John Lennon


Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

9. For No One
Original Theme & Lyrics: J. Lennon
Performed by: The Beatles


Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all the words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you

She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years!

You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead
You think she needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years!

You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him

Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be time when all the things she said will fil your head
You won't forget her

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years!

10. Hide & Seek
Original Theme & Lyrics: H. Jones
Performed by: Howard Jones


There was a time when there was nothing at all
Nothing at all, just a distant hum
There was a being and he lived on his own
He had no one to talk to, and nothing to do
He drew up the plans, learned to work with his hands
A million years passed by and his work was done
And his words were these...

Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see
Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see
Hope you find it, hope you find it
Hope you find me in you

So she had built her elaborate home
With it's ups and it’s downs, it’s rains and it’s sun
She decided that her work was done, time to have fun
And she found a game to play

Then as part of the game
She completely forgot where she’d hidden herself
And she spent the rest of her time
Trying to find the parts

Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see
Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see
Hope you find it, hope you find it
Hope you find me in you

There was a time when there was nothing at all, nothing at all
Just a distant hum

11. World
Original Theme & Lyrics: B, R & M
Performed by: Bee Gees


Now I found that the world is round
And of course it rains every day.

Living tomorrow, where in the world will I be?
Tomorrow, how far am I able to see?
Or am I needed here?

Now I found that the world is round
And of course it rains every day.

If I remember all of the things I have done,
I'd remember, all of the times I've gone wrong.
Why do they keep me here?

Now I found that the world is round
And of course it rains every day.

And now I found that the world is round
And of course it rains every day.

12. High Hopes
Original Theme & Lyrics: D. Gilmour
Performed by: Pink Floyd


Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut

There was a ragged band that followed our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist growing
The water flowing
The endless river

13. Clocks
Original Theme & Lyrics: Berryman, Buckland, Champion, Martin
Performed by: Coldplay


Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
You've put me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead (singing)
Come out of things unsaid, shoot an apple of my head (and a)
Trouble that can't be named, tigers waiting to be tamed (singing)
You are, you are

Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks (gonna)
Come back and take you home, I could not stop, that you now know (singing)
Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities (am I)
A part of the cure, or am I part of the disease (singing)

You are [6x]
And nothing else compares
Oh no nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

You are [continues in background]
Home, home, where I wanted to go [4x]

14. The End of Days
Original Theme & Lyrics: J.-E. Kohrs, Violet
Performed by: Gregorian
The track is accessible on Limited Edition version of the album!

Our vulgar pleasures are laid bare
Our gods grow weak and disappear
Our vivid nights our silent days
Relinquished to a wintery haze

The emblems of our toil lie still
Abandoned to the misty air
The dusty silence where we stood
Our empty space given back to earth

Don't forget about us
Our living was not in vain

Now that the night has fallen
Now that the spirit sleeps
If time is to end
We stand alone and unprotected then
Will we praise
This is the end of our days

Are heathen temples laid to rest
Our glory fades to emptiness
What once was bright returns to sand
Our complex lifes to barren land

Don't forget about us
Our living was not in vain

Now that the night has fallen
Now that the spirit sleeps
If time is to end
We stand alone and unprotected then
Will we praise
This is the end of our days

15. Heaven Is A Place On Earth
Original Theme & Lyrics: R. Nowells & E. Shipley
Performed by: Belinda Carlisle
The track is accessible on Limited Edition version of the album!

When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside

When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we're spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love...

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me

In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

-. Le Temps Des Cathedrals
From a musical "Notre dame de Paris"
The author: Bruno Pelletier
The track is accessible only on the French version of the album!

C'est une histoire qui a pour lieu
Paris la belle en l'an de Dieu
Mil quatre cent quatre-vingt-deux
Histoire d'amour et de desir

Nous les artistes anonymes
De la sculpture ou de la rime
Tenterons de vous la transcrire
Pour les siecles a venir

Il est venu le temps des cathedrales
Le monde est entre
Dans un nouveau millenaire
L'homme a voulu monter vers les etoiles
Ecrire son histoire
Dans le verre ou dans la pierre

Pierre apres pierre, jour apres jour
De siecle en siecle avec amour
Il a vu s'elever les tours
Qu'il avait baties de ses mains

Les poetes et les troubadours
Ont chante des chansons d'amour
Qui promettaient au genre humain
De meilleurs lendemains

Il est venu le temps des cathedrales
Le monde est entre
Dans un nouveau millenaire
L'homme a voulu monter vers les etoiles
Ecrire son histoire
Dans le verre ou dans la pierre

Il est venu le temps des cathedrales
Le monde est entre
Dans un nouveau millenaire
L'homme a voulu monter vers les etoiles
Ecrire son histoire
Dans le verre ou dans la pierre

Il est foutu le temps des cathedrales
La foule des barbares
Est aux portes de la ville
Laissez entrer ces paiens, ces vandales
La fin de ce monde
Est prevue pour l'an deux mille
Est prevue pour l'an deux mille
