a winter's dream - prelude (part i)

[music: michael romeo, michael pinnela, thomas miller, jason rullo and russel allen]

although your words are empty,
i can hear now, what you feel inside

the night is drawing closer,
you fell you have to hide.

your fears are never wrong or right
everything is either black or white.

it's time to close your eyes now,
begin your fantasy - what does it mean?
wake your dreams (commence now...)
into reality.

your fears are never wrong or right
everything is either black or white.

in a winter's dream - i'll be there for you
in a winter's dream - i'll be there for you

a winter's dream - the ascension (part ii)

[music: michael romeo, michael pinnela, thomas miller, jason rullo and russel allen]

still in bed an hour past,
i'm drifting through the night.
as fallen star divides the sky of divinity.

taken on a journey,
and enlightened to the past.
and if i wake, if i wake, will it embrace me?

awoke at dawn to calm the stor inside of me.
take my last breath as i fall into eternity...

risen to an astral flight, i wander through
the serene with you.
answers to the voices i hear,
in a winter's dream, a dream.

empty minds still wait, i'm here.
captured by light - my spirit rides through the
night.
and if i dream to wake - will it embrace me?

when the story fades and all is said done,
i can not wait - pray for daybreak -
will it escape me?

awoke at dawn to calm the storm inside of me.
take my last breath as i fall into eternity...

risen to an astral flight, i wander through
the serene with you.
answers to the voices i hear,
in a winter's dream, a dream.

[solo]

in a winter's dream - i'll be there for you
in a winter's dream - i'll be there for you

risen to an astral flight, i wander through
the serene with.
answers to the voices i hear,
in a winter's dream, a dream.
