Lanterns of Twilight; soft version

{soft piano, distant music-box,

gentle harp harmonics, ambient pads,

reversed textures, solo violin

fragile melody}

Underneath the starlit dome

Silent libraries of stone

Secrets carved in ancient clay

Waiting for the break of day {soft intimate female vocal,

subtle acoustic cello accompaniment}

We wear the mask to find the key

To unlock the sleeping destiny

Written in the stars above

A quiet hope, a timeless love (ooh-ahhh) {vocal harmonies bloom,

warm French horns, clarinet,

soft orchestral percussion}

Time is but a fragile glass

Through the darkened streets we pass

To the place where lanterns glow

And the hidden rivers flow {orchestral intensity builds,

soft choir pads, deeper percussion,

cello solo} Behold the truth that sleeps in stone

We walk this path but not alone

{breathtaking emotional peak, united orchestra,

choir, piano, electronic textures}

Lost inside the midnight glow...

(ooh) {fading piano, solo violin,

music-box, dying reverb, wind-like

textures}
