REDEMPTION

Mysterious song Lyrics

Ancre 1

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

The Journey is fierce

They’ve been marching for days

Through countless miles and cold nights

All was left behind

Lost and weary eyes

Among our sons and daughters

Peaceful dreams at night time

If they find their home

Shinning afar

Silver lining of old dreams

The promise for a new life

For the brave at heart

Run

Before the spirit is locked away

Hold on to your freedom

And walk behind the mirror

Rise

And build the home of the brave

We are all together

Breaking down the mirrors

Sailing away

Across the stormy sea

Safer than ruins and homeland

Lost dreams they chose to flee

What’s left of their hope?

When God leads their hearts

To rule over the free land

The battlefield of greed

Run

Before the spirit is locked away

Hold on to your freedom

And walk behind the mirror

Rise

And build the home of the brave

We are all together

Breaking down the mirrors

The sound of waves dancing around you

Appeases children’s cries

This sudden silence forever haunts you

A good heart never loses its hope

The moon reflecting on the water

Like mirrors on the shores

Guiding destinies from a distance

As Angel choirs rock the boat

No fanfares nor cheers

Await along the shore

Greeted like thieves, you’ve become like

The enemy within

Freedom is near

But real is the fear

What if mirrors shine on both sides

From this trail of tears

Walking among us

In broken mirrors appears

Reflection of a young child

Born with a heart of steel

Run

Before the spirit is locked away

Hold on to your freedom

And walk behind the mirror

Rise

And build the home of the brave

We are all together

Breaking down the mirrors

All together breaking down the mirrors

Redemption

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

I’m sorry

Did I make you cry?

Forgive me

I’ve tried with all my might

I’m so sorry

This is just my life

I’d do anything

to see a glimmer of hope

There are shadows

Following me at night

Beat me hollow

Then take me to the light

I’d give all I have

to see a ray of light

When I saw her, she was there

Standing in the rain

Silver moon shined through her hair

Then she gently reached her hand

Sowing seeds deep my heart

And washed away my pain

This is my Redemption

I’m lonely

Been lonely all my life

So lonely

Will I ever see the light?

Should I be sorry?

Until the end of times

Please forgive me

But I’ve tried with all my might

I’d give all I have

to see a ray of light

When I saw her, she was there

Standing in the rain

Silver moon shined through her hair

Then she gently reached her hand

Sowing seeds deep my heart

And washed away my pain

This is my Redemption

I’d give all I have and all I had

to see a ray of light

to see a ray of light

and washed away my pain

This is my Redemption

I’m lonely

This is just my life

So Lonely

The Beauty and the Least

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

She locks the door behind him

In her hand she holds the pay

That ends another day

She puts her hands in water

As if to wash the blame away

She does that everyday

Then she closes her eyes

And she tries to pray

Before the guilt comes her way

She takes the time to light a candle

That she brings beside her bed

And starts writing on a paper

She’s got a little brother back home

She loves him very much, she says

She thinks about him every day

There’s a place she goes

Where she can hide away

From the guilt and the blame

She smiles as she holds the night

But tomorrow is another day

She cries

Deep inside she knows

She will find a way

And soon she’ll call this “Yesterday”

She smiles as she holds the night

But tomorrow is another day

She cries

In tears she can see a time

When love will find a way

She smiles

Every Note

Words Marc Pageau and Jean Pageau   Music by  Jean Pageau

Mesmerized by the light

From your wondrous eyes

Holding on and fly high

We’ll never be apart

Even when the words won’t come

I hear your heartfelt prayer

I know your heart, your soul, your mind

I give you every breath

I want to hear every note your soul sings

I want to hear every prayer your heart brings

I want to hear every note your soul sings

I want to hear every prayer your heart brings

I long to hear your every word

I need to feel your every note

Your presence in my bones

Allows my soul its freedom

It needs to love and to hope

Sure anchor of the soul

And in the same moment

She sang a note of freedom

I sense within my heart

Serenity pleasing every need

I want to hear every note your soul sings

I want to hear every prayer your heart brings

I want to hear every note your soul sings

I want to hear every prayer your heart brings

I want to feel your every word

I want to hear your every note

Like an artist through song

Touching your soul

I long to hear your every word

I need to feel your every note

Like an artist through song

Touching your soul

I want to hear every note your soul sings

I want to hear every prayer your heart brings

I want to hear every note your soul sings

I want to hear every prayer your heart brings

Pearls and Fire

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

When Leo’s coming back from school

With a tear in his eye

He always ran straight to his room

Rejected by a very cruel

Estranged father

He never played by the rules

His mother always told him

Stand strong cause Boys don’t cry

Soon you’ll be a man

Just make these tears shine like stars in your eyes

Leo made his mother proud

It made him feel better

When the mood was getting loud

A dream can turn into a curse

When family gathers

Long Silence pierced with bitter words

Remember

The Ghosts of War stand behind

Leo left home very young

To live his own life

To prove his father wasn’t right

Working hard for many hours

Just trying to get by

He went abroad and joined the fight

Remember

The Ghosts of War walk behind

Fly, fly to find my way

Higher, now I’m on my way

Even under fire

Our duty is to do or die

Leo is on a mission

Scouting the outskirt,

closing the distance

To recon information

And get in touch with the allied resistance

With Eagle eye precision

The soldiers carry on their mission

Tension is getting higher

And Leo’s squad is caught in the crossfire

In Silence, cease the fire

Shaken but still alive

Down a soldier lies

The Ghosts of war stand near by

There’s a field where angels dance

He whispered before he died

A tear fell as he reached his hand

Holding a pearl of fire

You walk through empty streets

where ruins crush you to tears

No signs of Victory

From those hiding with fear

I’ll see you in the morning

This dream is made of pearls and fire

The deserted alley

Takes you back to the city square

A blind man by the fountain

Whispers into your ears

I’ll see you in the morning

This dream is made of pearls and fire

Your stars will shine within

The heart of this city

From young boy tears once cried

Have found their way to heaven

I’ll see you in the morning

This dream is made of pearls and fire

These young boy tears

now Shine among the Heroes

A new star appears

This young boy’s dreams were made of

Pearls and fire

My Inspiration

Words Music by Michel St-Pere

This road misled many men

Far away from home

Some were never seen again

Some came back for more

Came back for more

Storms may rage in our lives

Still you hold my hand

The dreams we made to keep us alive

Seem so far away

On a distant land

After all that we’ve been through

After all the things we do

Here I am longing to see you

Every day, in every way

You must be my inspiration

They say that gold belong to the man

Who’s not afraid to reach his hands

Digging all that he can

Slowly losing his mind

And selling his soul

It’s a race to climb up this mountain

To feel the sun rays above the clouds

Still you wait there in silence

Ready to catch my heart

Or catch my fall

And after all that we’ve been through

After all the things we do

Here I am still longing to feel you

Every day, in every way

You must be my inspiration

As I wake in the still of the night

As peaceful as you seem

You’re so close yet so far out of sight

Far gone in your dreams

So peacefully

All my worries overshadow your fears

You’re lost in my dreams

In the crowd submerged deep are your tears

Drowned by their screams

So quietly

The Curtain falls

And the last soul has gone

Alone lost in fame

Empty halls

Silence before the dawn

Someone‘s calling my name

If ever you feel

That your world is crumbling down

Just call my name through the crowd

I’ll be there, anytime, anywhere

This road misled many men

Far away from home

Some were never seen again

Some came back for more

And after all that we’ve been through

After all the things we do

Here I am longing to touch you

Every day, in every way

You must be my inspiration

Homecoming

Ancre 7

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

So many times

You think about your past regrets

Beware, you will get lost along the way

And you will find

That life is not about the past

The present is awaiting your return

Goodbye

Through the night

You wander on the streets again

If only you knew why you were so cold

Stuck inside

A mind that keeps you prisoner

If only you could escape and be free

Goodbye

Mesmerized

By the starlit sky above

You finally wake up from your slumber

Purified

Your body merges with the earth

Your spirit is now free to go back home

Goodbye

Is This How the Story Ends?

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

You don’t know me

But I see you every day by the train

You stand in line

While everyone gets in your way

All the time

A Smile or wink that’d make you

hope for better days

Drowned in rain

It’s just another train passing by

Don’t think too much about it

Don’t think too much about it

All these words suppressed in silence

for all these years

Keep pushing out

Running through your veins and

haunting you to tears

Then fading out

It’s just another train passing by

Don’t think too much about it

Don’t think too much about it

Another train passing by

It’s just another train passing by

Don’t think too much about it

Trains may come and go

Steam through stations in a book you know

Scratching lines or tearing pages

Changing the script and ruin the show

You can Smile as you walk on stage

For you know the end has been

written long ago

Dream beyond the Headlines

Don’t let them weave the threads of your life

A child lived in your heart

And the door was left wide open

Free to pursue the art

And all your dreams were stolen

The seal has been broken

And the mission forgotten in time

Protests in the streets

As you lay down under the cover

No shoes on your feet

But it doesn’t really matter

The pathways to your dreams

Will lead them to the tower

When defeat comes,

Accept the defeat

But never surrender power

Under the carpet snakes crawl

They seem to know who you are

It’s the same dream that keeps you

awake until dawn

It’s all over the news

Like reading the same old chapter

Stand up, escape from this room

One cannot hide forever

We all have freedom to choose

Only if we know what we are after

Trains may come and trains may go

Departing every hour

Under the carpet snakes crawl

Pushing you back to the wall

It’s the same dream that keeps you

awake until dawn

You wake up in a world

Where every dream is coming true

Pure design or make belief

It’s all there for you to choose

Strange shadows crawl behind

As you slowly make your move

A distant train staggers your mind

You know this dream was made for you

But you were not invited

Stealing dreams

Stealing dream of a lifetime

You’d pay whatever the price

To cross the bridge over the blue

The cost is soaring high

This Promised Land was never true

Just a few more miles

Hoping to finally get your due

Faceless guests sipping the wine

From a dream that’s made for you

But you were not invited

Stealing dreams

Stealing dreams of a lifetime

You don’t know me still you see me everyday

By the train

I stay behind and let you go on with your day

All the time

A wink or smile and my last dream is washed away

Far away

It’s just another train passing by

It’s just another train passing by

Don’t think too much about it

I hear the sound of old trains gone by

From trees, like ghosts waving goodbye

And steam vanishing through the mountainside

I’m here with one last ticket to ride

Waiting alone, still no lights in sight

Have I missed the train or have I arrived?

Or is this how the story ends?

When the last word’s been sang

And the last note’s been played

When finally the curtain falls

Is this how the story ends?

Wandering souls never die

Travellers from different time

This train is heading straight to the other side

Into the mist tracing the railway lines

Do not insist, you’ll know before your time

This train is just passing through

this dream of mine

And this is how the story ends

Oh this is how the story ends
