Kama sutra (instrumental)
Join me
My imagination
Don't give up
Forbidden colours
The smile
Pay no mind
A question of honour (extended version; 8:45)
Voyage voyage -- [1]
Colours of the rainbow
The secret still remains
I've seen it all
Watermark (instrumental)

Notes:
[1] -- still needs corrections, e.g. accents on letters, and a translation

2. Join Me

Will you join me, join me, join me
Will you join me, join me, join me
Will you join me, join me, join me

We are so young
our lives have just begun
but already we are considering
escape from this world
and we've waited for so long
for this moment to come
was so anxious to be together
together in death

Won't you die tonight for love
Will you join me in death
Won't you die
Will you join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Will you join me in death
Join me in death

This world is a cruel place
and we're here only to lose
so before life tears us apart let
death bless me with you

Won't you die tonight for love
Will you join me in death
Won't you die
Will you join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Will you join me in death
Join me in death

This live ain't worth living
This live ain't worth living
This live ain't worth living
Join me, join me
This live ain't worth living

Won't you die tonight for love
Will you join me in death
Won't you die
Will you join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Will you join me in death
Join me in death

3. My Imagination

Don't keep me waiting with my imagination

As the darkness turns to light I wake from dreaming,
I can see you won't be here with me for much too long.
Every day I tell myself that I'm with a healer,
so I put my trust in you, but how can I be sure?

Don't keep me waiting with my imagination,
don't keep me fighting with my imagination.
My heart is aching; I'll need an explanation.
Don't keep me waiting with my imagination.

When you're lost and all alone I share your feeling,
when you're on the outside and you think you can't get in.
Every night I'm reaching out imagine[ing] you'll hear me,
so I hold my breath for you, but how can I be sure?

Don't keep me waiting with my imagination,
don't keep me fighting with my imagination.
My heart is aching; I'll need an explanation.
Don't keep me waiting with my imagination.

Don't keep me waiting
Don't keep me fighting

Don't keep me waiting with my imagination,
don't keep me fighting with my imagination.
My heart is aching; I'll need an explanation.
Don't keep me waiting with my imagination.

Don't keep me waiting
Don't keep me waiting with my imagination

4. Don't Give Up

Choir:: In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
: No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no-one wants you when you lose

Sarah:: Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good

Choir:: Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
: Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

Sarah:: Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'Cause somewhere there's a place
Where we belong
: Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up

Choir:: Got to walk out of here
I can't take any more
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing
: Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs

Sarah:: Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
: Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know its never been easy
Don't give up
'Cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong

5. Forbidden Colours

The wounds on your hands never seem to heal
I thought all I needed was to believe
Here am I, a lifetime away from you
The blood of Christ, or the beat of my heart
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
Senseless years thunder by
Millions are willing to give their lives for you
Does nothing live on?
Learning to cope with feelings aroused in me
My hands in the soil, buried inside of myself
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again
I'll go walking in circles
While doubting the very ground beneath me
Trying to show unquestioning faith in everything
Here am I, a lifetime away from you
The blood of Christ, or a change of heart
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again

6. The Smile

There is a smile
A smile upon your face
I wonder why
Why you're full of grace

There was a time
My feeling was replaced
I wanna hide
Hide in your embrace...

7. Pay No Mind

I used to believe in something
I thought it was me and you
that we could fulfill a lifetime
and live as lovers do
I was wrong

I'll pay no mind
I'm leaving it all behind
I won't ask you what you feel no more
I won't ask you what you feel no more
I'll just pay no mind
I'm letting it go this time
'cause I realize I've come so far
if I start to wonder where you are
I'll just pay no mind

The first couple steps were fragile
till I got on my feet
felt I was walking sideways
looking for my release
lovers come and they go
when they leave
you'll all ever know

Lovers come and they go
when they leave
you'll all ever know
instead of a review
tell you what I'll do

I'm still writing love songs
'bout something that's passed me by
I know that I'm stronger
you think that's a lie
but you're wrong

8. A Question of Honour (extended version)

(Sarah)
Ebbene? ... N'andrò lontana,
Come va l'eco della pia campana,
Là, fra la neve bianca;
Là, fra le nubi d'or;
Là, dov'è la speranza, la speranza
Il rimpianto, il rimpianto, e il dolor!

Ebbene? ... N'andrò lontana,
Là, dov'è la speranza, la speranza
Il rimpianto
Sola e lontana!

(male choir)
Two men collide
When two men collide, when two men collide
Two men collide
When two men collide, when two men collide
(Sarah)
It's a question of honour
(male choir)
Two men collide
When two men collide, when two men collide
Two men collide
When two men collide, when two men collide
Two men collide
When two men collide, when two men collide
(Sarah)
It's a question of honour
It's a question of honour

(full choir)
If you win or you lose,
It's a question of honour
And the way that you choose,
It's a question of honour

(Sarah)
I can't tell what's wrong or right
If black is white or day is night
But I know when two men collide
It's a question of honour

(full choir)
If you win or you lose,
It's a question of honour
And the way that you choose,
It's a question of honour
If you win or you lose,
It's a question of honour
And the way that you choose,
It's a question of honour

If you win or you lose,
It's a question of honour
And the way that you choose,
It's a question of honour
If you win or you lose,
It's a question of honour
And the way that you choose,
It's a question of honour

(Sarah)
I can't tell what's wrong or right
If black is white or day is night
I know when two men collide
It's a question of honour

Ebbene? ... N'andrò lontana,
Come l'eco della pia campana,
Là, fra la neve bianca;
Là, fra le nubi d'or;
N'andrò, n'andrò sola e lontana!
E fra le nubi d'or!

Well then? I'll go far away,
As goes the echo from the pious bell
There, amid the white snow;
There, amid the golden clouds;
There, where hope is, hope,
Regret, regret, and sorrow!

Well then? I shall go far away,
There, where hope is, hope,
And regret
Alone and far away!

Well then? I'll go far away,
As goes the echo from the pious bell
There, amid the white snow;
There, amid the golden clouds;
I'll go, I'll go alone and far away!
And amid the golden clouds!

9. Voyage Voyage

The words between brackets are sung by a choir.
The translation still needs to be improved

Au dessus des vieux volcans,
Glisse des ailes
Sous les tapis du vent,
Voyage, voyage,
Éternellement.
De nuages en marécages,
De vent d'Espagne en pluie d'équateur,
Voyage, voyage,
Vole dans les hauteurs
Au dessus des capitales,
Des idées fatales,
Regarde l'océan...

Voyage, voyage
Plus loin que la nuit et le jour,
(Voyage, voyage)
Voyage (voyage)
Dans l'espace inouï de l'amour.
Voyage, voyage
Sur l'eau sacrée d'un fleuve indien,
(Voyage, voyage)
Voyage (voyage)
Et jamais ne revient.

Sur le Gange ou l'Amazone,
Chez les blacks, chez les sikhs,
Chez les jaunes,
Voyage, voyage
Dans tout le royaume.
Sur les dunes du Sahara,
Des îles Fidji au Fujiyama,
Voyage, voyage,
Ne t'arrêtes pas.
Au dessus des barbelés,
Des coeurs bombardés,
Regarde l'océan.

Voyage, voyage
Plus loin que la nuit et le jour,
(Voyage, voyage)
Voyage (voyage)
Dans l'espace inouî de l'amour.
Voyage, voyage
Sur l'eau sacrée d'un fleuve indien,
(Voyage, voyage)
Voyage (voyage)
Et jamais ne revient.

Plus loin que la nuit et le jour
(Voyage, voyage)

On top of the old volcanos,
Slip of the wings
Under the carpets of the wind,
Journey, journey,
Eternally.
Clouds in marshes,
Of wind of Spain in rain of equator,
Journey, journey,
Fly in the heights
On top of the capitals,
Fatal ideas,
Look at the ocean...

Journey, journey
Further that the night and the day,
(Journey, journey)
Journey (journey)
In the space of the love.
Journey, journey
On the crowned water of an Indian river,
(Journey, journey)
Journey (journey)
And never does not return.

On Ganges or the Amazon,
At the blacks, the sikhs,
At the yellows,
Journey, journey
In all the kingdom.
On the dunes of the Sahara,
Fiji islands in Fujiyama,
Journey, journey,
Do not stop you.
With the top of the barbed wires,
Bombarded hearts,
Look at the ocean.

Further that the night and the day
(Journey, journey)

10. Colours of the Rainbow

The colours of the rainbow will show the world to you,
the colours of the rainbow are fading into blue

Losing the future, and the colours of the rainbow
You shouldn't keep it secret, just wear your inside out.
You can trust me, I'll take you to the field of dreams.

The colours of the rainbow will show the world to you,
the colours of the rainbow are fading into blue.
The colours of the rainbow, promise what you want to do,
the colours of the rainbow, they all belong to you.

Lie across the flowers and everybody smiles at you
Drifting past the hours drowning in big blue

You can trust me, it's always gonna feel like this.

The colours of the rainbow will show the world to you,
the colours of the rainbow are fading into blue.
The colours of the rainbow, promise what you want to do,
the colours of the rainbow, they all belong to you.

One world, one life in the colours of the rainbow.
One world, one time in the colours of the rainbow.

The colours of the rainbow will show the world to you,
the colours of the rainbow, they all belong to you.

One world, one life in the colours of the rainbow.
One world, one time in the colours of the rainbow.
One world, one life in the colours of the rainbow.
One world, one time in the colours of the rainbow.

The rainbow
The rainbow
The rainbow
The rainbow
The rainbow
The rainbow

11. The Secret Still Remains

There's a secret about your love
That always keeps me thinking of
How we ease each others' pain

Only when I feel you near
You take away my deepest fear
You put a spell on my heart
But I am not calling for any redemption

And the secret still remains
And I want you not to reveal
How you make me feel
How I have been touched by your love

So you keep the key
And I keep on playing my part
Not knowing the game
And the secret will remain

These thoughts they haunt me every night
Visions covering my mind
Cause I know you can't be far

Just the thought that you are mine
Makes cold wind shiver down my spine
You put a spell on my heart
But I am not calling for any redemption

And the secret still remains
And I want you not to reveal
How you make me feel
How I have been touched by your love

So you keep the key
And I keep on playing my part
Not knowing the game
And the secret will remain

And the secret will remain
And the secret will remain
And the secret will remain
And the secret will remain

12. I've Seen It All

Self fulfilling prophecies
Strangers stealing someone else's dream

I've seen it all

Fighting for my dignity
Running for your life in times like these

I've seen it all

I remember the time
Once in a life, you hold me

Got you here in my head,
Here in my head, here in my hand for safety...

I've seen it all...
seen it all
I've seen it all...
seen it all
I've seen it all...

Waiting on a bed of nails
Time is running slow until it ends
I've seen it all

Fighting for my dignity
Running for your life in times like these

I've seen it all

I remember the time
Once in a life, you hold me

Got you here in my head,
Here in my head, here in my hand for safety...

I've seen it all...
seen it all
I've seen it all...
seen it all
I've seen it all...

Like I've never seen before
Catching up a smile instead of frown

Asking you to never let me down

It will never be the same forever

I've seen it all...
