deep within my heart    I've been searching my way through    as the river is spreading the hue    from green to blue       carry on the flame    try to rule the lion's den    storm the fortress of standstill again    and again       the powers that be    shall try to break free    don't ever try them to deny    they all could have wings    and then become kings    holding the one the emerald eye       (chorus)    velvet eyes of dawn I see    the miracle within    velvet eyes of dawn in me    outside looking in    the times are gone    while the clock ticks on and on    by the years we're holding on    for the velvet eyes of dawn       color the pale sky    try to find the holy grail    and the guardians of time will stand by    and praise your tale       the time to begin    the battle to win    before the night obscures the sky    the shadows of eve    will come to deceive    before the well of life runs dry       one growing blossoms' smile    in moonlight for a while    announcing one new spring    dreaming to be king    come joining the parade    turn down your masquerade    free as a bird of prey    sail your ships off the bay       (chorus)
