We Stand Alone - Covenant



stand before the gates and watch metropolis
empires come and go we live forever
and eternity is in your hidden eyes
take my broken wings teach me to fly again

I stand alone
we stand alone

down the empty streets head for the seven hills
vestal virgins dance we steal the fire
battered columns stand as silent monuments
deep inside their dreams I see your memories

I stand alone

we share the last champagne and watch necropolis
still and so let's leave her to her silent walks
the sun of Rome is set and our day is gone
a kiss a taste of red from your open lips

I stand alone

Love Over Six Centuries - Eloy

I'll tell you who I am and whence I came, It's not going to be easy to explain My body has returned, my mind is all at sea Will you tell me who you are and where we're meant to be? She answers in a gentle, lilting style, Says little but speaks volumes with a smile With a sparkle in her eye, she takes me by the hand 'Let us take a walk, I'll answer all I can.' Jamie: April, 1358...Paris...I don't understand any more... my name is Jamie...and mine is a strange story... one which even I don't fully understand...my father is a scientist... and he has been experimenting with time-eroding drugs... I was sitting in his workroom..it was late at night...and I was thinking... you know, about me and my future...I've just left school...and I don't know what I want to do...I must have somehow have taken the drug... and landed up here.   Jeanne: My name is Jeanne . . and let me tell you my story . . my father owns many acres around here ... which are fa...

Harvest Moon - Neil Young

Come a little bit closer Hear what I have to say Just like children sleeping We could dream this night away But there's a full moon rising Let's go dancing in the light We know where the music's playing Let's go out and feel the night Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon When we were strangers I watched you from afar When we were lovers I loved you with all my heart But now it's getting late And the moon is climbing high I want to celebrate See it shining in your eye Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon

Wake Me Up - Avicii

Feeling my way through the darkness Guided by a beating heart I can't tell where the journey will end But I know where to start They tell me I'm too young to understand They say I'm caught up in a dream Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes Well that's fine by me So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost I tried carrying the weight of the world But I only have two hands Hope I get the chance to travel the world But I don't have any plans Wish that I could stay forever this young Not afraid to close my eyes Life's a game made for everyone And love is the prize So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost Didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost I didn't know
