Raging Storm
Album The Storyman / Raging StormBy Chris de BurghWritten by Chris de Burgh

Silently dawn comes in with the rain, and I feel the world is crying,
The moment is here, and it's time to say goodbye;

Words cannot tell of all you have done, and the love that you have shown me,
You're more than a friend, you have helped me to find myself;

There is a dream that you must follow,
And always listen to your heart - you'll be forever in my life -
And if you need me in some new tomorrow,
Reach out, wherever you are;

And I will fly through the raging storm,
I will rise where others fall,
I will be there where the eagles fly,
I will hear you when you call - and I hate to see you go;

You gave me a life from ashes and dust, from a place where hope was dying,
The girl that you found has become a woman now;

There is a dream that you must follow,
I'll try to listen to my heart,
We'll meet again in some new tomorrow,
I'll find you wherever you are!

And I will fly through the raging storm,
I will rise where others fall,
I will be there where the eagles fly,
I will hear you when you call;

It's time to go - I want to stay - I'll miss you so -
But I believe that we'll meet again someday;

We will be there where the eagles fly, I will hear you when you call,
'Cos I love you.

The Mirror Of The Soul

The Mirror Of The Soul Part I

Brother, there's a man at the gate, he has something in his hand;
He says it fell down from the sky, should I let him in?
Maybe it's an omen, maybe it will take away our sin, our sin...

'Tis a diamond that he has, the biggest one I've ever seen,
And when he holds it in his hand, it's shining like the sun,
He says it's from another world, he calls it the mirror of the soul;

We must place it on the altar high, send the Devil to the fire,
Power over men we'll have when they see it shine, when they see it shine;

Brother, fetch the Abbot now, tell him of this wondrous thing,
Tell him that we'll have control of all the riches it will bring;
When people come to see it, for money we will purify their souls, their souls;

With my knife I'll kill this man, I'll send him to the Promised Land,
And when we take the diamond, we will have the future in our hands,
In our hands;

When we place it on the altar high, send the Devil to the fire,
Power over men we'll have when they see it shine, when they see it shine!

The Mirror Of The Soul Part II

That's how it started, that whole new religion, and people everywhere,
Had to give up all their possessions at the Abbé St. Pierre,
But with their gold they could buy a redemption, and the promise of
Eternal life,
And the centre of it all was a diamond divine,
It was up there on the altar high but for the monks it would not shine,
So with subterfuge they used the light of the sun, fooling everyone;

It was late at night when a young boy was in there with his friends,
And they dared him up to the altar, to touch the famous gem,
And when he did, the whole place exploded with a great and wonderful light,
And people came from everywhere to see it,
When he took it from the altar high, everyone could make it shine,
Except the Abbot and his men, for them, no light,
They could not make it shine.

The Mirror Of The Soul Part III

And in the end, many heard the brothers, making confession of the
Things they had done,
And the Abbot led that sad procession, as they went through the
Gate past the place where it had begun;

And all their dreams of glory, all their schemes and stories,
Would come to nothing after all,
Because a power greater from the world's creator
Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul,
Only love can light the mirror of the soul;

All through the world, there are many others, who always follow
Everything they are told,
By men with rules and regulations, using old superstitions and
Tales to assume control;

But all their dreams of glory, all their schemes and stories,
Will come to nothing after all,
Because a power greater from the world's creator
Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul,
Only love can light the mirror of the soul;

They come to nothing after all;
Because a power greater from the world's creator
Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul,
Only love can light the mirror of the soul.

   

The Seduction Of Lady Jane Seymour
Album Raging StormBy Chris de BurghWritten by Chris de Burgh

Sweet lady Jane, there is a place in my heart,
that is made for a woman like you.
I have seen you go by,,with your ladies-in-waiting
And I dream of the things we will do.
For all that I am, there've been times in my life
I have tasted of love's bitter wine.

So give me your hand, let there be no hesitation,
for tonight it is with me you will dine.
A rose cannot hope to resemble a blush,
you betray when you look in my eyes.
So sweet lady Jane, I defy you to tell me
That you will not give in to my love.

Say you will. Say you will.
Say that you will be my queen.
Say you will. Say you will.
Say that you will be my queen.

A king needs a bride, who can bear him a son,
A boy to be leader of men.
And deep in my heart, I believe you’ve been waiting
For the day that you will be with me

Say you will. Say you will.
Say that you will be my queen.
Say you will. Say you will.
Say that you will be my queen.

Riches and jewels and all of my kingdom
Will be yours, if you give me a son,
But if you deny me, there will come another,
And I will do with you what must be done.

So say you will. Say you will.
Say that you will be my queen.
Say you will. Say you will.
Say that you will be my queen.

Yes.
