Chapter 1 - Prologue
Please Sit Down (Intro) - Narrator
(Rafael Maced music and lyrics/Jeremy Villucci Music)
Reality is just a tangible mantle that separates these two worlds.
Please sit down...
Have you ever felt so small that you
didn't want to know the truth?
That perhaps, if you even caught
a trace of it
All the cosmic energy in the Universe would collapse?
Perhaps it's easier to just avoid it
To drift through life unconscious
Unaware with an evasive mind
Don't ask me why I'm able to answer
these questions
Because this is my crusade
Just remember
All that we are will remain intact
for eternity
Until the universe decides to change the rules...

Chapter II - Presenting Jared
Narrowing Part I
(Music Rafael Macedo – Lyrics Thomas Marin)
Jared
My vision is narrowing
No wide expectation
I can’t see where I’m going
I’m lost in desperation
All the paths converging
Into a single-lane road
Somehow I keep pushing
And faith is my only load
I can’t miss what I’m leaving
(Behind)
Narrowing… again
Narrowing… ahead
Narrowing… for us
My choices are blurring
But I don’t need an option
Now that I’m not planning
I can run without caution
Narrowing… according to my dreams
Narrowing… the way I thought it would
Narrowing… you know what it means
Narrowing… so my fate comes through
No leashes on time
No fears to tie me down
The control isn’t mine
So I can free my mind
If my sight is narrowed
“I’ll see much far ahead”
I’m no longer chasing
I’m taken by good intention
I’m not leading or escaping
I’m guided by perception

Chapter III – Jared’s recurring Dream
Lady In The Seashore
(Music Rafael Macedo/ Lyrics Thomas Marin)
Jared
“The lady in the seashore has a strange tattoo,
She came to me and said: “I had it made for you,
So come on, my poet, sing a song of yours,
Sing to me a song that will save the poor.”
She lives by the road, right upon the hill.
She cares about the ones who are in love or ill.
That place is called:
The White Palace Of Dreams,
But it's not exactly the way that it seems.”
Every time you go until that dark door,
You don’t have to say what you came for,
Just tell her your name before you get in
And you won't need to say what you're feeling.
In the night, if you see that the evil’s near,
You are not allowed to feel any fear,
'Cos they know that the Lady In The Seashore
Won't let them take you away anymore.
She's the first daughter of the strong King Crow,
Who lives with the Queen Dove and a sweet vow;
Living in love until the bitter end,
Something many humans can't understand.
The palace is hidden in a fortress of green,
That's why just a few have ever seen
The sweet lady has a weird ancient name,
Just the King Crow knows from whom it came.
Maybe it was written in the skin of a goddess
Or it's just another word that's meaningless.
The lady is flying away with her silver wings,
She left in the wind the words the poet sings.
She knows it's always too late to hate,
Even if we are alone, 'cos this is our fate.

Chapter IV – The Love Act
She's Made From Sand
(Music Rafael Macedo/ Lyrics Thomas Marin)
Jared
I'm like God's original man:
Mud waiting for your touch.
“I'm nothing”,
Still cast aside from the
Paradise scene.
Like the clearest crystal
She's made from sand
And breaks so easily
My clumsy simian fingers
Let her escape with the rain
Spin the world to start again
Like the time in the hourglass
Fallin' pieces … lost sand grains…
If the sun comes to mold her on
My weak cold skin “can't hold on”
And, again, she's too far gone
Like the building in the desert
She's made from sand

Shine Shy Shine
(Music Rafael Macedo/ Lyrics Thomas Marin/Mitch Stewart)
Narrator
Now she should cry in the same familiar rhythm
Then she must fall to keep the beat
At heart, this is her melody
Anne
I cannot be a light to hearts without a sun
I don't wanna be the one to say you're not alone
I can't be the lamplight in your darkened path
Smile like daylight, and shine...Shine shy shine
Narrator
"Same Rhythm then she must fall to keep the beat"
And now she sings along with someone else's song
And with rare confidence she acts as though
This is her melody
She sings alone
With someone else's song
She knows it by heart
She looks up at me as she lies right by my side
And clouds, they blow away
Another day passes by
A vivid memory, she sings again
This is her melody
She lies awake in the moonlight
Open window, curtains blow
And she can't help but think
That somewhere out there lies the answer to her dreams......
She knows... She won’t hear
The sweet words… that she needs...
This is just another day
She knows it by heart
I cannot be "Shine my Anne"
A light to hearts without a sun
I cannot be the lamplight in your darkened path
Shine

Chapter VI - She leaves
Hope Departed
(Music Rafael Macedo/Lyrics Thomas Marin)
Jared
Softly but hurting me
Hope departed
What should be for us
Isn’t mine anymore
That's all departed
I wish was wise enough to listen
Wasted with the breeze
A stream against my jaw
I just don’t wanna kneel again
Meaning always nothing
When it’s all departed

Chapter VII – The Endless Search
Promises (At Least One Sunny Day)
(Music Mitch Stewart/ Lyrics Thomas Marin/Mitch Stewart)
Jared
Another day gone
Another one closer to death
Sitting here, waiting,
Impatiently wondering
What lies ahead?
Anne
Calm down my darling
Hush my dear
Promises…
She should keep
Promises...
Are lies we seek
Every mile gone
Seems to lead me astray
With every sunrise I hope
Find my way
Anne
Calm down my darling
Hush my dear
Promises…
She should keep
Promises...
Are lies we seek
Promises… Promises…
Ah! Morning promises.
Ah!
Promises…
She should keep
Promises...
Are lies we seek
At least one sunny day…
At least one sunny day…

Chapter VIII – Lullaby
The Curtains Of My Eyes
(Music Jeremy Villucci/Lyrics Jeremy Villucci/Rafael Macedo)
Narrator
A boat made from sand
Leaving wakes in your eyes
As it drifts away
Wind spurs fear
Leaving the sense of unknown behind
The curtains of my eyes
Will they dance again?
The waltz steps of love
It's all so Natural…
