Anno Domine Lyrics - The Lost Christmas Eve - Trans Siberian Orchestra

(NARRATION) 

Christmas is how In every nation That hope is passed Through generations From old to young And sometimes I'm told It's actually passed From young to old Yes, our angel had been quite impressed With this youth that he had found But then across the street he heard An old familiar sound It was a multitude of voices From the old cathedral's choir Singing out about this night And the hopes that it inspires (ANNO DOMINE) On this night of hope and salvation One child lies embraced in a dream Where each man regardless of station On this night can now be redeemed Where every man regardless of his nation Ancestral relations On this night the past can fly away And that dream we've dreamed most That every child is held close On this night that dream won't be betrayed All as one Raise your voices! Raise your voices! All as one On this christmas day! All rejoice Raise your voices! Raise your voices! All rejoice Anno domine! On this night when no child's forgotten No dream sleeps where he cannot see No man here is misbegotten And this night's dreams are still yet to be Where every man regardless of his nation Ancestral relations On this night the past can fly away And that dream we've dreamed most That every child is held close On this night that dream won't be betrayed All as one Raise your voices! Raise your voices! All as one On this christmas day! All rejoice Raise your voices! Raise your voices! All rejoice Anno domine! 

After the song was over 

Nearly every person there 

Went to the cathedral's basement 

And started setting up tables and chairs 

For that night this church would feed 

Any person in life who had less 

And both those that gave and those that received 

Left that night feeling blessed 

Then the angel remembered something 

That his lord's son had once said 

On how one truly followed him 

When words and acts were wed

Some people claim to follow him 

But themselves they just deceive 

For his lord's son had said, 

"you will know who truly follows me 

Not by what they say, but by their deeds" 

And this church was clearly filled 

With kind people of goodwill 

But the angel had more time left on this night 

And continued to search on still 

So the angel left the parishioners 

With their christmas meal in happy bliss 

And returned once more to the hotel 

To make sure that there was no one there he had missed 

Photos 

And passing by a village square 

He heard a brass quartet 

Whose christmas concerto in the key of g 

He felt lighten his every step
