Night Enchanted

In the seventh year of her life, a young girl was nearing the end of her seventh summer, at a beach house that her grandfather had built on the Pacific Ocean, long before she was born. It was a beautiful but simple house, constructed high atop the dunes, overlooking a seemingly endless stretch of pristine, sandy beach. She believed that her grandfather must have been the wisest of men to have procured such a perfect spot. It was far enough away from the water to be perfectly safe from the crashing waves of the largest storms, when the ocean was at its most mischievous, but close enough that she could still hear the quietest of breakers, on the calmest of nights as they gently lulled her to sleep.

Night Enchanted

(Greek Chorus)

HERE
BELIEVE
A NIGHT
ENCHANTED
SEEN

HERE
THE HOPES OF GODS ARE PLANTED
DREAM
REMEMBER
REMEMBER
ALL WE DO NOT SEE

SURRENDERED
SURRENDERED
ALL WE WISHED TO BE
LOST AND FORGOTTEN
OUR AKHENATEN

BODY AND SPIRIT
NO-ONE CAN HEAR IT
LOST
IN
ETERNITY

FOREVER
HEAR US
FOREVER
HEAR US
FOREVER
HEAR US
FOREVER
WHERE OUR HOPES HAVE NEVER CEASED TO BE

DEATH WILL EMBRACE US
HOLD AND ENCASE US
TIME MAY DEFACE US
WILL GOD RETRACE US
TIME SPEAKS THROUGH SEASONS
GOD SPEAKS THROUGH REASON
KINDNESS COMPASSION
NOT RANDOM FASHIONS

HEAR
YET TO BE
HEAR
YET TO BE
HEAR
YET TO

(Cassandra)

CHILD OF THE NIGHT
DREAMS DARE ALIGHT
ANYWHERE YOUR HEART DOES WANDER
KNOW THAT THEY WILL WALK WITH THEE
EACH GRAIN OF SAND

FALLS AS WAS PLANNED
AND WITHIN EACH PRECIOUS MOMENT
ARE THE THINGS STILL YET TO BE

NIGHT IN ITS VESPERS
DREAMS ARE ITS GESTURES
STARS FEAR NO DISTANCE
FEAR NO DISTANCE

FOR THEY WILL ALWAYS GUARD YOU
THROUGHOUT ETERNITY
(Greek Chorus)
