lyrics

Max Enix:
Alone up the river
Pure air fueling my senses
Hair shining in the sun
Skin moistened by the water
Afar, the birds sing
A universal hymn
A place, a waking dream
In this enchanted world I see
A life of smile appears to me
On this path full of fantasy

Elise Wachbar: I breathe
I look at
The earth Trembling

Max Enix:
Behind this facade,
tell me what you see
Your soul preserved,
under the brown trees
Through these woods,
the smell of pines
Dreaming of a better world,
lost in time

Chorus:
Max Enix:
Dream of a peaceful world
Vibrating, carrying you away
A heaven on Earth
A return to the source,
Before the decay
Free from violence and murder
A world of color
And what do you see?

Max Enix and Farhad Hossain: I
llumination and dreams that spread
Through a world
Where all is born, then grown, then dead

Farhad Hossain:
Hidden in this path
Under the spring dew
Rose buttons,
a place in my heart
Where my mind finds it's way to you
Beings filled with love
Under the setting sun
Look at each other
Drowned in bliss
Lighting all these green hills
I sweat I am restless
I think And lie down

Elise wachbar: I sweat
I am restless
I think
And lie down

Farhad Hossain:
How sad to see a world destroyed
Consequences of this... carelessness around
Tell me what you hear
In this lost place of wonder
As I sit on the ground...
I surrender

Chorus:
Farhad Hossain:
Dream of a peaceful world
Vibrating, carrying you away
A heaven on Earth
A return to the source,
Before the decay
Free from violence and murder
A world of color
And what do you see?

Max Enix and Farhad Hossain:
Illumination and dreams that spread
Through a world
Where all is born, then grown, then dead

« At the origin of light
Innocence appeared in silence
They had no price, no particular form
No care for profit or money
No need to pretend
No need to fight for power
Surviving's all that mattered
No thoughts about the future
Living with one another
Harmony perfect
They fed their souls with what they felt
In this silence...
In this silence... »

Ethan: « Counting stars
All at one with them
Fragile souls around
With fear surrounding them
Counting stars
Watching them fall
Innocent souls around
The city heard their calls"
« In the distance
I hover like a plane, disjointed
The childhood toy I've found
People that love each other
Tenderness and smiles
Look at the moon's reflection
Entwined in sleeping woods
Memories, Imagination
Life as good as it could
In their dreams they fly like birds
All lost and twisted by the wind
Lanterns that burn and light
The same path at the same time
Kingdom beyond the clouds
The one I've always dreamed of Animals that shout out loud
And begging for protection Lights... »

Elise Wachbar:
And the fight inside goes on
A preserved nature still alive
Through the winds, still, on and on
The tranquil course of time
And I enter this forest
Daylight still not at rest
The moon widens its domain
Like an enchanted fountain

Max Enix:
While tears are rolling free
Tell me everything you see
The tremors of the past
Imerge again under my feet
Believe in destiny

Farhad Hossain:
And follow your own instincts
Grasshoppers jumping on the grass

Max Enix:
And land on your limbs

Farhad Hossain:
Fish jumping out of the rivers
Distant thoughts on your lips

Elise Wachbar: I feel
I breathe
And discover
Constellations

Max Enix and Farhad Hossain:
They live for good, on their own
Children's eyes to the future
Sincere hearts beating as one
Golden spangles fall from the sky

Chorus:
Max Enix and Farhad Hossain: Dream of a peaceful world
Vibrating, carrying you away
A heaven on Earth
A return to the source,
Before the decay
Free from violence and murder
A world of color
And what do you see?

Max Enix and Farhad Hossain: Illumination and dreams that spread Through a world
Where all is born, then grown, then dead

« Eyes closed
For the last time
Before you see the true light »

Max Enix:
Baby don't cry, your parents are watching over you
Baby don't cry, They will never leave you
For the sake of generations

Farhad Hossain:
And the ones that come ahead

« Forget your name for a while Guide them to consciousness »
« And the river flows into the ocean at the end of the road
Walking towards the cliff, he leaned against a tree to get a better view
And gazed down at the city below with a look of wonder
The crackling lights and the smoke from a chimney
The buildings were huge and threatening like a monster
Some streetlights seemed to akwardly move
The childhood demons still there
The very ones he once fought, rising his fist in clamour
He kept on looking, to the light emerging
The need to breathe strangled him
The inner joy saddened him
This beauty everywhere...
What are these humans doing? »
« Remembering his parents Dead in some car accident
This moment never fades away And him cry anyway
Your absence is a scar
But makes my whole life vibrate I think of you
You're here with me and I'm here too... »

Farhad Hossain:
Father... I see you through the stars
And Mother... The cosmos is your palace

Max Enix and Farhad Hossain:
Father... I see you through the stars
Mother... The cosmos is your palace
