Winter Is Coming - Beyond The Black

I see it flying high upon the evening skies
The wings as dark as night, a demon in disguise
Already now, before it reaches us down here
It fills our worried hearts with fear

Whoever hungers won't see many days to come
Whoever has no roof won't be with us for long
Bring in the last few crops that wither in the fields
Before the frost, we count our meals

Watch out, winter is coming
Pray to the mother for mercy on our souls
Watch out, winter is coming
Watch as the ice starves the wilting autumn rose
Winter is coming close

Some only know it by the tales the elders told
The blooming years already vanished with the cold
The nights grow longer and hold terrors for the young
And death will sing the winter song

Watch out, winter is coming
Pray to the mother for mercy on our souls
Watch out, winter is coming
Watch as the ice starves the wilting autumn rose
Who knows what follows with the ever endless night
Spare us in these days from the curse of winters blight
Watch out, winter is coming
Pray to the mother for mercy on our souls
Winter is coming close

Watch out, winter is coming
Pray to the mother for mercy on our souls
Watch out, winter is coming
Watch as the ice starves the wilting autumn rose
Who knows what follows with the ever endless night
Spare us in these days from the curse of winters blight
Watch out, winter is coming
Pray to the mother for mercy on our souls
Winter is coming close

Beyond The Black

The Phantom of the Opera - Matláry Miklós

Christine:

In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
And speaks my name
And do I dream again
For now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind

Phantom:

Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me
To glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your mind

Christine:

Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear

Phantom:

It's me they hear

Both:

My/your spirit and your/my voice
In one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your/my mind

Offstage:

He's there the Phantom of the Opera!

Phantom:

In all your fantasies
You always knew
That man and mystery

Christine:

Were both in you

Both:

And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your/my mind

Christine:

He's there, the Phantom of the Opera!

(Vocalizing)

Phantom:

Sing, my angel of music!

Christine:

(Vocalizing higher)

Phantom:

Sing for me!

Christine:

(Vocalizing higher)

Phantom:

Sing my angel of music!

Christine:

(Sings higher)

Phantom:

SING FOR ME!

I have brought you
To the seat of sweet music's throne
To this kingdom where all must pay homage to music
Music.
You have come here
For one purpose and one alone
Since the moment I first heard you sing
I have needed you with me to serve me
To sing for my music

Egy eszme indul...

Egy Eszme jő, robogva, tűzszekéren,
Egy Eszme indul messze, valahol;
Tavaszi füzek szélingatta ága
És őszi lombok tarka hervadása
Vassal kivert útjára ráhajol.
Egy Eszme indul messze, valahol.

Egy Eszme jő robogva, tűzszekéren;
Valahol messze indul egy vonat
És maga előtt megkondítja sorra
Az őrházakban a harangokat;
Egy vonat indul messziről az éjnek,
És elibe, a rozzant házikókból
Tisztelegni kilép az őr, a lélek.
S a vassal kivert pálya végtelenjén
Zöld lángok, piros lángok égnek:
Egy vonat indul messziről az éjnek.

És néha jönnek fényes állomások:
Kupolái az eszmék vonatjának.
És néha jönnek elhagyott vidékek,
Ahol a váltók mind tilosra állnak.
És jönnek megrögzött gonosztevők,
Akik a sínre lopják köveik'.
És rajongók, kik a mozdony elébe
Önnön veszendő testüket vetik.

Az Eszme jő, robogva, tűzszekéren,
A mozdony nő, de amíg testet ölt,
Csak fojtott, tompa dübörgése hallik,
Mit a ráhajtott fülbe súg a föld.

Reményik Sándor
