Lyrics:

[Opening: Ensemble]
In the realm where dreams and reality blend
A story of courage comes to its end
Through shadows and light, we've found our way
To the Symphony of Dreams, where night turns to day

[Lyra]
Once I felt lost, my dreams out of tune
Now I stand tall beneath the dream-lit moon
With friends by my side and magic within
I'm ready for this symphony to begin

[Oneiro]
I've learned to weave dreams with care and with pride
No longer letting my doubts override
Together we've grown, our powers combined
A harmony of dreamers, one of a kind

[All]
In the Symphony of Dreams, we stand united
Our hopes ignited, our fears no longer blighted
From Dreamland to reality, we bridge the divide
In this magical melody, we'll turn the tide

[Reverie]
Practical dreams and fantasy too
Both have their place, this much is true
Balance we've found between earth and sky
In this symphony, all dreams can fly

[Queen Insomnia]
You think you've won, that dreams conquer all
But nightmares and fear still heed my call
In sleepless nights, I'll find my way
To turn your symphony into disarray

[The Confrontation]
Lyra: Your shadows no longer hold any power
Oneiro: We've learned to bloom in the darkest hour
Reverie: Together we stand, our dreams intertwined
All: In our symphony, hope is redefined!

[Queen Insomnia]
No, this can't be! My darkness, my reign!
(Her power diminishes)
I'm fading... fading...

[All, triumphant]
In the Symphony of Dreams, we've risen higher
Our spirits brighter, fueled by inner fire
From Dreamland to reality, we've bridged the divide
In this magical melody, we've turned the tide

Dreams big and small, all play their part
In the symphony that sings in every heart
Fear and doubt, we've learned to face
With imagination, wonder, and grace

In the Symphony of Dreams, we are one voice
Singing out loud, making a choice
To believe in the power of what we can be
In dreams and in life, we've found the key

As our story ends, a new one begins
Where every dreamer, in their own way, wins
So close your eyes, but open your mind
In the Symphony of Dreams, yourself you'll find

Lyrics:

[Reverie] 
Feet on the ground, head in the clouds 
Dreams are nice, but reality surrounds 
Practical magic, that's what I see 
In the simple dreams that set us free

[Lyra] 
But what if we soar beyond the sky? 
Where colors dance and logic doesn't apply
In my dreams, I've seen wonders untold 
Worlds of beauty that I long to unfold

[Oneiro] 
Between earth and sky, that's where I stand 
Weaving dreams with an unsteady hand 
Imagination and reality entwine 
In the tapestry of dreams I design

[All] 
In the harmony of dreams, we find our way 
Where night and day begin to sway 
Your vision, my wonder, their steady grace 
Together we'll create a magical place

[Reverie] 
Lyra, your dreams seem so wild and free 
But there's beauty in simplicity 
Oneiro, your magic sparkles and gleams 
But sometimes we need more down-to-earth dreams

[Lyra] 
Reverie, I see the warmth in your light 
The comfort of dreams that don't take flight 
But can't you feel the thrill of the unknown? 
The joy of a dream world all our own?

[Oneiro] 
Friends, your dreams are threads of gold 
Some bold and bright, some subtle and old 
Let me show you how they intertwine 
To create a vision truly divine

[All] 
In the harmony of dreams, we find our way 
Where night and day begin to sway 
Your vision, my wonder, their steady grace 
Together we'll create a magical place

[Reverie] A storm is brewing! 
[Lyra] The dreams are fading! 
[Oneiro] Quick, join hands with me!

[Sung together] 
In the chaos of the night 
We'll stand together, hold on tight 
Our different strengths now unified 
Will see us through this wild ride

[All, with growing confidence] 
In the harmony of dreams, we've found our way 
Where night and day have learned to play 
My vision, your wonder, our steady grace 
Together we've created a magical place

Three voices, three dreamers, one song 
In harmony, we are strong 
Practical, wild, and in-between 
Together, we're living the perfect dream

Lyrics:

[Lyra] 
All my life, I've felt out of place 
Dreams too vivid, too hard to face 
But now I'm here in this wondrous land 
Where imagination runs hand in hand

[Oneiro] 
Welcome, dreamer, to my domain 
Where the impossible breaks its chain 
Though my powers may sometimes go astray 
Together we'll find a better way

[Both] 
We're on a journey to the Dream Loom 
Where fantasies bloom and nightmares consume 
Hand in hand, we'll brave the unknown 
Weaving dreams we've never shown

[Lyra] 
Your world's so strange, yet it feels like home 
Colors so bright, they light up the chrome 
I never knew I could feel so free 
Is this the place I'm meant to be?

[Oneiro] 
Your eyes shine bright with a dreamer's light 
Together we'll set this whole world right 
Though challenges loom, we'll see them through 
There's magic in me, and magic in you

[Both] 
We're on a journey to the Dream Loom 
Where fantasies bloom and nightmares consume 
Hand in hand, we'll brave the unknown 
Weaving dreams we've never shown

Lyra: The path grows dark, I can barely see 
Oneiro: Hold my hand, trust in me 
Lyra: What's that sound? It chills me to the bone 
Oneiro: Face your fear, you're not alone 
Both: Together we're stronger, we'll find our way 
Through the night and into a brighter day

[Both] 
We're on a journey to the Dream Loom 
Where fantasies bloom and shadows we'll consume 
Side by side, we'll reshape the unknown 
Weaving dreams more vivid than we've ever known

In this realm where imagination soars 
We'll open up a thousand doors 
To a future bright, where dreams take flight 
At the Dream Loom, everything's alright

Step right up, don't be shy 
I'm Oneiro, dream weaver extraordinaire 
With a flick of my wrist, I'll take you high 
To realms beyond your wildest flair

Dreams are my canvas, thoughts are my paint 
I'll craft you a world that's uniquely quaint 
From flying high to diving deep
 I'm the architect of your sleep

I'm weaving dreams, spinning tales 
Crafting worlds where wonder prevails 
Sometimes they twist, sometimes they turn 
But that's how dreamers live and learn 
The Weaver's Melody, it plays all night 
Guiding dreams 'til morning light

Now, I'll admit, I'm still learning the trade 
Sometimes my dreams go slightly astray 
A rabbit might roar, a lion might fade 
But hey, that's just part of the play

Dreams are the key to unlock your mind 
To leave the mundane world far behind 
So close your eyes and trust in me 
I'll set your imagination free

I'm weaving dreams, spinning tales 
Crafting worlds where wonder prevails 
Sometimes they twist, sometimes they turn 
But that's how dreamers live and learn 
The Weaver's Melody, it plays all night 
Guiding dreams 'til morning light

There's magic in the air, can you feel it flow?
 Dreams have the power to help you grow 
I may not be perfect, but I'll never stop 
Weaving dreams from bottom to top

I'm weaving dreams, spinning tales 
Crafting worlds where wonder prevails
Sometimes they twist, sometimes they turn 
But that's how dreamers live and learn 
The Weaver's Melody, it plays all night 
Guiding dreams 'til morning light

So dream on, dreamer, let your mind take flight 
With Oneiro as your guide, everything's alright!

“The Monologue of the Stone Tower” is a dramatic musical fragment from the original musical “The Chess Kingdom”. Sung in Ukrainian, this slow rock opera explores the awakening of a former war fortress to the quiet beauty of peace. A husky male voice and cinematic instrumentation evoke deep emotion, while battle sounds dissolve into birdsong — as spring finally arrives not with swords, but with light.
