        Em  G

Em
Deep within my heart
                            G
I've been searching my way through
       Bm                      C
As the river is spreading the hue
      Am      Em
From green to blue

Am
Carry on the flame
                       C 
Try to rule the lion's den
           Em                    F
Storm the fortress of standstill again
     Am
And again

G                  Bm
   The powers that be
                    Em
Shall try to break free 
            C       D     G
Don't ever try them to deny
                    Bm
They all could have wings
                Em
And then become kings
            C       D       G
Holding the one the emerald eye

Bb       Dm           C
  Velvet eyes of dawn I see
    Gm          Dm
The miracle within
        F           C
Velvet eyes of dawn in me
D                G
Outside looking in
    B          C
The times are gone
          D                  Em
While the clock ticks on and on
       D                   Em
By the years we're holding on
        Am
For the velvet eyes of dawn

( G  C )

Am
Color the pale sky
                     C
Try to find the holy grail
        Em                           F
And the guardians of time will stand by
              Am
And praise your tale

G             Bm
  The time to begin
              Em
The battle to win
           C     D            G 
Before the night obscures the sky
               Bm
The shadows of eve
              Em
Will come to deceive
           C        D           G
Before the well of life runs dry

G     Bm                Em
  One growing blossoms' smile
   C         D     G
In moonlight for a while
     Bm            Em
Announcing one new spring
C        D     G
Dreaming to be king
     Bm            Em
Come joining the parade
     C      D       G
Turn down your masquerade
     A              C
Free as a bird of prey
         D
Sail your ships off the bay

Bb       Dm           C
