Goddess: I’ve created all living things equal Without a second chance to live the same moment, or see the moment they’ll live Only I can change the timeline, alter their lives But what if some of them had that power? Let’s see if they can handle a gift like that Let the experiment begin… Dreamwalker: Another troubling night, dreams full of agony Feels like the mistakes of my past are haunting me My dreams are disturbed with sadness and pain Goddess: Remember your mistakes, live your past Dreamwalker / Goddess: I can’t (You can) change what I’ve done before Why do I (Soon you will) have to face them? I’ve made my (There is no) peace and closed that door Never (It's time) to remember them

Dreamwalker: Strange things are happening One by one I’m seeing the faces in my dreams Day by day I’m living the scenes for the second time Maybe this is a gift, a power to see the future. But why those painful memories are haunting all my dreams I see my future and my past Can it be that I can alter them? Goddess: Understand the aim of your power Dreamwalker/Goddess: The chance to see the time ahead Is this gift (This gift's not) all about that? Unlock the past, redeem myself (yourself) Let’s see if I (you) can do that
3.
Beloved: A love that grows every day, but never ages A feeling so deep, it touches my soul Beloved & Dreamwalker: A bond so strong Making me yours once and for all Dreamwalker: I will always be your guide Walking with you on your every path Beloved & Dreamwalker: I will always be your light Shining on your every night Dreamwalker: All is understood at last With this power I can fix my past By correcting all of my mistakes I start each day With a cleaned stain from my life By fixing all the faults I’ve got First with the mistakes I’ve done to her Now it’s all set Goddess: To begin with redemption, it’s a good start Confront the failures, make them right Dreamwalker/Goddess: First with the dearest, purify the faults I (you) got Making my (your) future with her bright. Dreamwalker: Also I can see the future, live the same moment twice A time traveler, only with the limitation of dreams Why do I have this power? Is there a price? Goddess: To question his gift, it’s a natural response If you use it right, there’ll be no price Dreamwalker/Goddess: Enough with the reasons, now’s the time for me (you) to rise In front of me (you), the timeline lies Dreamwalker: How exciting I can shape my destiny A perfect life for her and me I own this power, only I have the key To control my fate and become free I don’t need anyone I can do this on my own
4.
Beloved: All these years, side by side He never hurt me, never lied He always knew what I wanted He loved, he protected, he cared for me But lately he has changed I can see it in his eyes A hint of madness. Why? Day by day, he’s losing his love
5.
Dreamwalker: Where am I? What kind of a dream is this? Goddess: This is a dream you can’t control Dreamwalker: Who are you? How can you haunt my dreams? Goddess: I am the one who gave you your gift. Don't worry my gifted child, I am not haunting you. I am here to show you your mistakes Dreamwalker: I have no mistakes I have corrected them all My past is clean It’s time for perfect future Goddess: To create a life, by yourself This is your biggest mistake Dreamwalker: This gift is given to me I don’t need anybody Goddess: Your selfishness will be your doom It’ll be over for you very soon This power will be your downfall If you don’t realize your faults Dreamwalker: My downfall, my doom, impossible. Nothing bad can come out from this power. Perfect future, mistake? I don’t think so. What is the point of this gift? If I don’t use it for myself I don’t want anybody I still have her with me Goddess: I thought he could handle his gift With these thoughts his fall will be swift Dreamwalker: I healed every single pain That I have caused to her I’ll always know her needs She’ll always be with me… Goddess: His selfishness brought his end near He has failed my experiment

Beloved: Please my love Talk to me, open your heart Lift the mist that surrounds your mind Dreamwalker: Don’t worry my love There is nothing wrong with me My life is perfect, don’t you see? Dreamwalker&Beloved: There’s nothing (something) wrong with me (you), I’m not (you are) different than before, I haven’t (you have) changed Beloved: You deceive yourself Your life is not perfect You have lost all your friends and your family Dreamwalker: I don’t care about neither of them If I have you by my side I have the power to give us perfect future Beloved: Your pride has been cloaking your mind You lost your love, you left your old self behind Our bond is broken without our love I have tried to fix it until now I’m tired now; it’s time for us to part Farewell my love, you will always be in my heart

Dreamwalker: This dream was the worst one I’ve had With her gone, I’m all alone and sad Now I can see, why this is a mistake My pride blinded me, I need to wake It does not matter if my life is perfect If there’s no one to share it, it’s all fake The gift was never the power itself But the happiness it brings If I’ll help only myself It will only bring loneliness upon me. Goddess: At last he understood his duty Dreamwalker: Use this power for everyone’s good Goddess: The healing will begin in reality Dreamwalker: Undo the mistakes I’ve made Goddess: Starting with his most loved one Dreamwalker: First I’ll save my love Goddess: Then all the others he caused pain Dreamwalker&Goddess: My new (his) life starts right now Dreamwalker: Without breaking the bonds I had I didn’t realize my acts are wrong Goddess: (He could not handle the power alone) Goddess: The fear of losing his most beloved Opened the fog that closed his mind Dreamwalker: (To earn this power, great love is needed) Goddess: The experiment is not failed nor succeeded I still have answers I need to find… Dreamwalker:I’ll redeem myself and use this gift For everyone’s sake (An unknown future ahead) Dreamwalker&Goddess: The tale of dreamwalker begins…

Flow 05:21
Setting free my mind, disposing of everything inside my head All my afflictions, all my exultations. Just look at horizon destroying the crimson sun once again They are taking one more day from my life. Why tell me why Are you taking away my moments from me Just tell me is this a revenge But what have I done to you? You know life's a game that everyone has to play, no other choice You can't command to time, so stop complaining and just play the game. Why tell me why Are you taking away my moments from me Just tell me is this a revenge But what have I done to you Time is killing you so softly but you never feel it. Beguiled by tomorrows, it has been a nightmare for you all the time. And the time never forgives you. Stop questioning the time, you must play by its rules. No! This is not a game to play; I just have one life to live This is the rule of nature since from the dawn of life The flow of time is flawless, no change can be applied Life seems so short for humans; they think it’s not enough What they don’t understand is, balance of time and life Why tell me why Are you taking away my moments from me Just tell me is this a revenge But what have I done to you Why tell me why Are you taking away my moments from me Just tell me is this a revenge But what have I done to you (The only thing you need to do is thinking how to live your life You can’t control the flow of life; you’re not a sailor of time)

Is this a trick my mind plays? This darkness in my head, I don't understand. Trapped, between these black walls No such a beam of light At this cold and painful night A chance, I've been waiting for a chance To save me, to take me away To let me out of this hell A voice, a strange voice I hear But I'm all alone in my shell So it's just in my head It must be in my head Just in my head The deepest voice you used to hear sometimes, Just try to understand its call Maybe it's the key to the cell of your soul Maybe that leads to your dreams. Hope, this voice it gives me hope To escape, to free my mind From this void that makes me blind. It's time, it's time for me to wake To return to my old self. The roads that I've made Are just in my head. Just in my head. The deepest voice you used to hear sometimes, Just try to understand its call Maybe it's the key to the cell of your soul Maybe that leads to your dreams You have to reach out and reclaim your life, Embrace all... The deepest voice you used to hear sometimes, Just try to understand its call Maybe it's the key to the cell of your soul Maybe that leads to your dreams.
