Romantic Classics is a heartfelt collection of timeless melodies that celebrate love, hope, and human spirit across centuries and cultures. From the sacred beauty of Ave Maria and the soaring devotion of You Raise Me Up, to the cinematic poignancy of Schindler’s List and the grandeur of Nessun Dorma, each piece carries deep emotional resonance. Beloved folk songs like Danny Boy and Santa Lucia stand beside masterworks of Bach, Vivaldi, and Pachelbel, weaving together threads of classical elegance, sacred reflection, and popular balladry. With Titanic and Hero bringing modern romantic drama, and Jerusalem and Love Changes Everything lifting the heart with anthem-like power, this album is both a tribute to eternal classics and an invitation to feel every shade of romance—tender, triumphant, and timeless.

Schindler's List

Constant Moderato (dankan remix)

A whisper in the storm, a song beyond the veil,
A fire in the dark that will never fail.
Through the howling wind, through the endless tide,
A voice still sings, though the world divides.

Soft as a shadow, yet stronger than stone,
A melody drifts where the lost have roamed.
No words are spoken, yet hearts understand,
A song of the fearless, a guiding hand.

Through the storm, through the rain,
Through the loss, through the pain,
Still it calls, soft and free,
Like a flame inside of me.

Hope is a bird on wings of fire,
Rising through the ashes, climbing higher.
Never bends, never fades,
Still it sings, still it slays.
Through the echoes of the ages,
Through the coldest, darkest cages,
Never asks for anything,
But still it sings, oh, still it sings!

I have heard it where the silence drowns,
On shattered shores and battle grounds.
Through frozen nights, through raging flames,
The voice remains, it calls my name!

Through the storm, through the rain,
Through the loss, through the pain,
Still it calls, soft and free,
Like a flame inside of me.

Hope is a bird on wings of fire,
Rising through the ashes, climbing higher.
Never bends, never fades,
Still it sings, still it slays.
Through the echoes of the ages,
Through the coldest, darkest cages,
Never asks for anything,
But still it sings, oh, still it sings!

It needs no gold, no crown, no chain,
Only faith to rise again.
A feather caught upon the breeze,
A voice that sings eternally.

Hope is a bird on wings of fire,
Rising through the ashes, climbing higher.
Never bends, never fades,
Still it sings, still it slays.
Through the echoes of the ages,
Through the coldest, darkest cages,
Never asks for anything,
But still it sings, oh, still it sings!

No matter where, no matter when,
I hear it call again, and again…
A song of fire, a song of flight,
Forever burning through the night.

Wings of Fire (Symphonic Metal Duet)

Lyrics:
[Intro]

“Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris”
(I sing of arms and the man, who first from the shores of Troy…)

[Verse 1]

From burning walls, through fire and dust,
A city lost, a fate unjust.
The gods have spoken, the pyres rise,
Troy is gone, beneath darkened skies.

Through raging seas and Tempest’s wail,
The wrath of Juno on my sail.
A world in ruin, a path untold,
Yet fate decrees my heart stays bold.

[Pre-Chorus]

“Fata viam invenient” (Fate will find a way)
Through every storm, through every flame.
A kingdom forged in gods’ decree,
A promised land beyond the sea.

[Chorus]

O gods of war, O winds of fate!
Guide me through fire, through sorrow and hate.
Though shadows rise, though love must fall,
By sword and storm, I heed the call!

[Verse 2]

Carthage blooms where love once shone,
A queen forsaken, left alone.
Aeneas, torn by duty’s claim,
The gods decree, but love burns in vain.

Her bitter cry, the torches flare,
A dagger’s kiss, a last despair.
“Per caecos erramus amores!”

[Pre-Chorus]

“Fata viam invenient”(Fate will find a way)
Through burning love, through storm and flame.
The dream still calls, the path is set,
A crown awaits where dawn has met.

[Chorus]

O gods of war, O winds of fate!
Guide me through fire, through sorrow and hate.
Though shadows rise, though love must fall,
By sword and storm, I heed the call!

[Bridge]

“Fuimus Troes, fuit Ilium!”
(We were Trojans, Ilium was!)
Steel meets steel, the blood is spilled,
The gods have willed, the fates fulfilled.
Turnus falls, the war is won,
Aeneas reigns, the dawn begun!

[Final Chorus]

O gods of war, O winds of fate!
Guide me through fire, through sorrow and hate.
Though shadows rise, though love must fall,
By sword and storm, I heed the call!

O fields of Rome, O golden throne!
The stars have carved the path I’ve known.
By gods’ decree, by fire’s might,
Eternal reign, eternal...

[Outro]

“Arma virumque cano…”
(I sing of arms and the man…)

About: The Aeneid was my grandma's favorite epic poem. She could recite it from memory.
