Lost & Damned:

Helena, you came to me
When seemingly life had begun
Little did I know then
Where this would go when this begun

Once I was free to fly
I never promised anything
This may well be goodbye

Don't ask why
Don't be sad
Sometimes we all must alter
Paths we planned

Only try
Understand
I want to save you
From the lost and damned

Although you hold me close
I feel retention arise
Just as a hint of fear
Like subtle clouds in summer skies

Once in the moonlight
I can't explain and I don't know
Somehow we may reunite

Don't ask why
Don't be sad
Sometimes we all must alter
Paths we planned

Only try
Understand
I want to save you
From the lost and damned

[Solo: Youngblood]

Love means nothing to me
If there is a higher place to be

Helena, don't you cry
Believe me I do this for you
Heed my decision now
I will be gone tomorrow noon

My tale has just begun
Nothing can take my faith away
In my quest for the sun

Don't ask why
Don't be sad
Sometimes we all must alter
Paths we planned

Don't forget
What we had
But let me save you
From the lost and damned

Don't ask why
Don't be sad
Sometimes we all must alter
Paths we planned

Leave me behind
Don't look back
Because deep within
You know I'm lost and damned


Helena's Theme:

I remember a song
From long ago
Some of the pieces
They remind me of you

How could I know
You were to leave me?

I thought that I
I was that melody
Oh, so wrong
I'm but a whisper tonight

And if this is goodbye
I will leave
But I'll love you
Until the end

[If the grace of God is real
And the word of Christ can heal
Bring their souls to heaven's light
Bless the unborn child tonight]


Interlude IV (Dawn):
Hear ye, hear ye!
The lady, Helena
Has committed a sin

Now death lies on her
Like an untimely frost
Upon the sweetest flower
Of all the field


The Mourning After (Carry On):
I just had a dream
She was by the riverside
Alone and dressed in white

Paling in the cold
Walking on the icy face
On memories of glory days

Carry on, carry on
Meet me on the other side
Once the mourning after turns to day

Carry on, carry on
Keep unto the other side
The mourning after slowly fades

How could I have known?
Just the thought is simply wild
In her womb a little child

I am left to roam
On the surface of a dream
In a world that can't be seen

Carry on, carry on
Meet me on the other side
Once the mourning after turns to day

Carry on, carry on
Keep unto the other side
The mourning after slowly fades

[Instrumental]

Carry on, carry on
Just you carry on
Till the mourning is over

Carry on, carry on
Just you carry on
Till the mourning after leaves

[Instrumental]

Carry on, carry on
Meet me on the other side
Once the mourning after turns to day

Carry on, carry on
Keep unto the other side
The mourning after slowly fades

Carry on, carry on
Maybe in another life
Once the mourning after turns to day

Carry on, carry on
Cross the water, cross the tide
The mourning after slowly fades
