Intermission lyrics

I've been searching for an oasis
In the desert for so long
In my weakness trying
To pretend I'm strong

I've been holding on
To things that I have left behind
I've been scared and lonely
I'm crippled inside.

Bathing my soul in the starlight
Healed my wounds in the sun
Screamed my pain to the forest
Asking the question why?

Will there come a time for me when I find peace of mind

I'm sitting by the calm lake
And watch the setting sun
My feet are in the water
The journey's just begun
In the mist there is a boat and it's heading towards me
On the deck the lady's holding her hand and I agree
I'm falling into fantasy
The dream goes on

We are traveling in the nightfall
Until we stop somewhere
Descending into water
On dark and hazy stairs

I'm back in the air, but I've nowhere to go
I nervously glance at the mountains below
Two hours of sleep, seven more 'til the show
I pray to the goddess of coffee to keep me alive

The crew's getting wasted, we're back in the sky
I join in the fray, 'coz the rules don't apply
"Who cares anyway - when we're all gonna fry!"
But somehow we manage to land and we all have survived...

[Instrumental]

I've been trying
There's no denying
It's sending me
Out of my mind
I've seen reason
Change to treason
It's losing it's sense
Of all kind

How much longer will it take
For the world to see
We should learn to live
And simply let it be
Bloodstone, bloodstone

In the night time
Wake in fright
I'm so scared of the game
That's being played

Start to wonder
What's going under

Danger, danger the Queen's about to kill
There's a stranger, stranger and life about to spill
Oh no move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king
Tear him down

Kill the king, yeah
Strike him down

Power, power it happens every day
Power, power all along the way
Oh no, move me out of harm

[Rainbow cover]

I surrender to your heart babe

Do anything that you want me to do
Please be tender I'm in your hands girl

This is a feeling I never knew

You know I tried to make it on my own

That's not the way it was meant to be

Spend my time waiting by the phone

Oh darling come back to me

I surrender, I surrender

I'm giving up the role of pretender

The shadow falls on me today
Why can't it fade into the distance?
And darkness calls, no other way
I rage at the riddle of existence

The day's almost gone but you'll carry on
Can you keep the flame for me?
The day's almost gone but you'll carry on
Can you keep the flame for me?

A broken plan, a fleeting past
How do we always keep on trying?

A tired man, is free at last

When the stars are gone forever and plantes are turned into dust
It's a good to escape to lie in the haze
In the past I found the answer in music and drinking and lust
Waiting for the end and counting the days

But I want to find the answer, so what if my terror dies
And I want to find the answer, I look in your eyes

Why are we here? Maybe you hold the answer

Sometimes it's not that easy finding all the words
For how I feel when you are near
The more we are together makes me realize
All I ever wanted is you

What can I say?
You make all my dreams come true
And every day I want you right here by my side
To take my hand and hold me tight
I never want to be alone again

Now it is thome for you to close your eyes
They've seen much pain it's slowly filling your mind
Pretty as they are but now so pale
You better leave all your worries far behind
Not long ago when you had the Fire
Burning inside of you brighter than any flame
You were the one that I believed in
Keeping our hopes up high where are you now?
Where do you aim?

Let mr take you there

Look around there´s no time to waste
life goes on nothing´s gonna change
Feel the winds of life blowing cold
it won´t take so long you are growing old
there is no answer to be found
it is so easy to fall without a sound

Days of loving and gold
kept me from feeling so old
times I´ll always recall
when the night meets the day
Gates of heaven I saw

In the middle of the jungle
There are ruins of temples built along ago
Stone by stone
They were made by the Mayas
A tribe that is not so well-known
Each pictures on the wall
Recorded history
They were gazing at the sky
Seeing stars telling them the days
On the year
Monuments marked time
But altars meant death and fear
Worshipping gods now gone long time ago

Summer's gone a while ago
The daylight dims away
I'm watching here how the snow begins to fall
Yesterday's like a dream
A memory in my head
Like the life's gone behind the winter wall
I'm lighting up the candles and lock the door
Sitting by the fire
It's time to dream some more

I have to find a way how to survive
I am surrounded by the starlight
I have to find the path

I feel the wind in my hair
And it's whispering, telling me things
Of the storm that is gathering near
Full of power I'm spreading my wings
Now I'm leaving my worries behind
Feel the freedom of body and mind
I am starting my journey, I'm drifting away with the wind
I go

I am Hunting High and Low
Diving from the sky above
Looking for, more and more, once again
I'm Hunting High and Low

I live on the street, it is my home
All my life I've been alone
I see people passing by
And they lower their eyes

It's been like this for so many years
I had my share on lonely tears
My parents left me long ago
They did not want to know

(Chorus:)
Tell me how can I stand the pain?
Is there any hope for me at all?
Hear me cry in the cold rain
I never wanted to become
A Neon Light Child

Summer's gone a while ago
The daylight dims away
I'm watching here how the snow begins to fall
Yesterday's like a dream
A memory in my head
Like the life's gone behind the winter wall

I'm lighting up the candles and lock the door
Sitting by the fire
It's time to dream some more

I have to find a way how to survive
I am surrounded by the starlight
I have to find the path

Now it is time for you to close your eyes
They've seen much pain it's slowly filling your mind
Pretty as they are but now so pale
You better leave all your worries far behind

Not long ago when you had the Fire
Burning inside of you brighter than any flame
You were the one that I believed in
Keeping our hopes up high where are you now?
Where do you aim?

Let me take you there

Look around there's no time to waste
Life goes on nothing's gonna change
Feel the winds of life blowing cold
It won't take so long you are growing old
There is no answer to be found
It is so easy to fall without a sound

Days of loving and gold
Kept me from feeling so old
Times I'll always recall
When the night meets the day
Gates of heaven I saw
While flying through the misty dawn
