Lyrics


1. THEME FROM ANTARCTICA

In my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean
Finally lovers know no shame

Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say

"Take my breath away
Take my breath away"

Watching I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones

Turning and returning
To some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion
As you turn to me and say

"Take my breath away"

Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
"If only for today I am unafraid"

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching every motion
In this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion
Somewhere there's a love in flames

Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn my way and say

"Take my breath away
Take my breath away"

6. MEMORY OF ANTARCTICA

For the last time

Another picture frame
Broken and thrown away
But the memory of you
Never fades

When your timing isn't right
You can feel it every time
From the words you couldn't say
To the stupid games we play

Do we dare to cross that line
Just to do it one more time
Is it worth the pain to get lost again
If we know that it's not right

Hung up the phone with you
And from that moment I knew
Things would never be the same
As they used to

Remember when we used to lay
Together in our bed all day
All I want is what we had
Yesterday

When your timing isn't right
You can feel it every time
From the words you couldn't say
To the stupid games we play

Do we dare to cross that line
Just to do it one more time
Is it worth the pain to get lost again
When we know that it's not right

If I could change just one thing
I know what I'd do
All I took for granted
I'd make it up to you

These days I am living
With nothing left of you
Just broken hard and empty
And the memory of you

When your timing isn't right
You can feel it every time
From the words you couldn't say
To the stupid games we play

Do we dare to cross that line
Just to do it one more time
Is it worth the pain to get lost again
When we know that it's not right

I feel so cold inside
As I call out your name


7. OTHER SIDE OF ANTARTICA

Not even moving
Don't really know if it's mine or yours
But you ain't moving

Eyes are wide as you grin at me
You know there's a place where you rather would be
If you should die and I survive
How could I go on knowing that I'm still alive?
Yeah, here breathing

There's a beast that's living deep within me
Forcing me to feed all my needs, yeah he's in me

And he brought us here to end our fears
To wave goodbye to all of the tears
To start a new life on the other side of the river, yeah

Well, my world would be over
My world would be over
My world would be over
My world would be over, yeah

Hold on, hold on, I won't be long
Wait for me, man, I won't be long, ooh, ooh

You were such in a rush to reach the other side
Look at yourself with that look in your eye
Smiling wide, preoccupied with that river

Well, my world would be over
My world would be over
My world would be over
My world would be over

World would be over
World would be over
World would be over
World would be over, yeah, over

Not even moving
Don't really know if it's mine or yours


8. DELIVERANCE

Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Teste David cum Sibylla
Quantus tremor ...

English translation:
Day of wrath and doom impending
David's word with Sibyl's blending
Heaven and earth in ashes ending
Oh, what fear...
