Power And The Passion ELOY Journey into 1358 In this lonely room Where my father plays with science On some hair-brained scheme He lives in a dream But he can't do much for me now I've spent all my life Eating knowledge at school Driven hard to pass exams like a fool But now they're all behind me Success has come to remind me Where do I go from here? Hey, what's this, I'm disappearing Seeing strange things, hey, what's happening? I don't understand what it's meant to be Is it something in my drink or is it me? What are all these things around me I'm coming down, I'm coming down Surrealistic sights surround me I'm coming down, I'm coming down And who's that smart chick over there? But they're old-fashioned clothes to wear! Love Over Six Centuries I'll tell you who I am and whence I came It's not going to be easy to explain My body has returned, my mind is all at sea Will you tell me who you are And where we're meant to be? She answers in a gentle lilting style Says little but speaks volumes with a smile With a sparkle in her eye, she takes me by the hand 'Come with me, I'll answer all I can'. Dialogue: Jamie: April, 1358...Paris...I don't understand any more... my name is Jamie...and mine is a strange story... one which even I don't fully understand...my father is a scientist... and he has been experimenting with time-eroding drugs... well, I was sitting in his work-room... it was late at night... and I was thinking...you know, about me and my future... 'cause I've just left school...and I don't know what I want to do... I must have somehow taken the drug... and landed up here. Jeanne: My name is Jeanne....let me tell you my story... my father owns many acres around here... which are farmed by peasants...whom he rules with an iron hand... the neighbouring landlord's even worse... and I'm supposed to marry his son... that's not my choice... you know the saying: 'Like father, like son'. Jamie: Well, I see we've both got our problems... perhaps we can help each other... I've got something here....lots of my friends smoke it... I don't suppose you know it... try it, it helps at times like these... Jeanne: Oh, what a beautiful feeling... everything's shimmering in the twilight... look at that sunset...I've never seen such colours before... it all seems suspended in eternity... I wish moments like these would last forever... I'm not worried any more... what are you thinking? Jamie: I can't think at the moment...let's just enjoy it. Somehow we must stay together Lifelong friend, my lifelong friend Love like ours will last forever Never end, and never end We'll somehow wipe away our fears And find a way to bridge the years. Mutiny Your father told me I can stay But he mistrusts my unfamiliar ways: He wants to use the things I've learnt Six hundred years of knowledge sorely earned But if we can stay together, I don't mind the things he tells me: Of defending him in mutiny, I don't care, if you're there, I don't care On the farms they've made a stand Against the hated iron hands, they're uniting They're backed by everyone in town And I must ride to beat them down, how they're fighting: But I understand their cause To fight against the laws, they're right I promised to the end and fight The hatred's there in their eyes, They'll break his might it's no surprise if they do it: But I must take the other side And somehow learn to stand and fight and come through it: Though there's little chance That I beat bow and lance, I must Our love drives me on For you're the only one I can trust. Imprisonment I'm sitting here in my empty cell, it's dark and drab and damp. They throw me crusts to eat Drink water from the well. I was playing my part in this dreadful war when someone ran me through: They bound me up in chains, and that's the last I knew. The guards are watching day and night and they observe each move I make I wonder if they'll let me out alive - I know there's no way to escape I know the feeling of dejection: To be imprisoned for no crime So God please take me out of here You are my one hope at this time. Why are those people shouting? Is the battle lost or won? Now the footsteps of the guards - will my chains be tightened or undone? Daylight Daylight, back to daylight, see the sun break through the trees Daylight, back to daylight, turning darkness into peace Daylight, daylight, freedom once again Daylight, daylight, farewell to the chains Living can be easy if you take life in your stride I see new horizons push my loneliness aside. Thoughts Of Home Though I don't want to play with magic There's nothing else to do I wish that I was home again, sitting there with you I've heard that there across the valley lives a weird old man possessed with devilry in secrecy The wise magician he alone Can find a way to take us both back home. The Zany Magician HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA Welcome to my catacomb, pull up a tomb, sit down This is the brew, try it, it's new I've been waiting for you, just you drink this... The wings of a bat, the blood of a cat, the skin of a rat, it does taste nice... You'll forget where you've been, forget what you've seen, you won't feel a thing, you just Drink it all down, your heart will pound, see you around, HAVE A PLEASANT JOURNEY! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA Back Into The Present Back into the present, it's different since I've been away: War and desolation, it's getting worse with every day Even back in 1358, people had to fight to keep things straight. Waiting in the disco, tell my friends just what I've seen They won't believe my story when I tell them where I've been Smoke and lights and music blow my mind Must go somewhere quiet to unwind. The Bells Of Notre Dame It seems like a dream that's come to an end But it still carries on, I don't know what to think, it's unreal The world seems to start outside of my body I don't know what I feel. In these four hallowed walls the peal of the bells remind me of my journey through time but Jeanne still remains in my memory I wish she were with me, I need her here.
