Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) is an American progressive rock band founded in 1993 by producer, composer, and lyricist Paul O'Neill, who brought together Jon Oliva and Al Pitrelli (both members of Savatage) and keyboardist and co-producer Robert Kinkel to form the core of the creative team. Since then, TSO has sold more than 9 million concert tickets and over 8 million albums. The band's musical style incorporates classical, orchestral, symphonic, and progressive elements into hard rock and heavy metal. The band has released a series of rock operas: Christmas Eve and Other Stories, The Christmas Attic, Beethoven's Last Night, The Lost Christmas Eve (the final installment of their Christmas trilogy), and their two-disc Night Castle.

In the night 
Was the dark
In the dark 
Was the dream
In the dream
Was the Child
And myself
There unseen 

In the book was the word
In the word there was truth
In the truth there was age
In the age there was youth 

And I said to the Child 
Do your hands they still bleed
After all of this time
Do you think there's still need
But the Child only smiled 

And said not a word
And the snow it came down 
As if it hadn't heard 

And all that night the snow came down
To heal the scars our lives had found
And the years that lay broken 

And there upon that bridge of dreams
Across the night we walked unseen
With no words ever spoken 

And then on through that night
We did walk for a while
And our steps turned to blocks
And the blocks turned to miles 

Then we followed a path
For as far as we could
Till we found ourselves there
In an evergreen woods 

There were thousands of candles 
Upon every tree 
It was beautiful 
But there was one mystery
For with all of those candles
You must understand
That the only one lit 
Was now in that His hand 

And there upon that Christmas scene
The candle wax of melted dreams
And the years they had taken 

And there's that snow did gently fall
We one by one relit them all
Till each dream was awakened 

And then there to that light
This young Child showed to me
All the things that he dreamt
All the things that might be
How for everything given
That something is gained
Strike one match in the dark
And all the world's not the same 

And then I asked that Child
Why this night has a star
And he said, "So we'd know 
That we could see that far"
And these candles are wed 
To that star's distant light
And it all came to be
Upon that long winter's night
That long winter's night
That long winter's night

And when I awoke, well the Child he was gone
But somewhere in my mind
I believe he lives on
And somewhere in my life 
Between here and the end
On a long winter's night
I will dream him again
