| Video Discription | YEHENARA: Is this what eyes were never meant to see? The end of hope and all it meant to me How can I find the strength to carry on another day? Without my pride there’s nothing left to say Is this the way my life was meant to be? Too late for me to say that I was wrong Perhaps the weak believe that they are strong I thought that if I tried, I’d find a way to earn their trust Yet all I’ve known and loved has turned to dust It seems there was no way I could belong The fire that burns within your heart The pain that tears your life apart The rain that falls from broken skies The love I lost beneath the lies And must I face the truth alone? Is this the end of all I’ve known? The years I gave, the tears I cried Why dream of love, when love has died? I know one day the story will be told And in the end the secrets will be sold And will they look at me and say I should have known the end? Perhaps I did but why should I pretend? I only dreamt of love and growing old The fire that burns within your heart The pain that tears your life apart The rain that falls from broken skies The love I lost beneath the lies And must I face the truth alone? Is this the end of all I’ve known? The years I gave, the tears I cried Why dream of love, when love has died? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Empress Dowager Tzu Hsi - adored, revered, feared and hated. The life of one of the most controversial figures in Chinese history is explored in Forbidden City: Portrait of an Empress. Starring the dynamic Singapore singer/actress Kit Chan as Tzu Hsi, this musical features the creative talents of Olivier award-winning lyricist Stephen Clark, London-based director Steven Dexter and Singapore composer Dick Lee. Just who is the real Tzu Hsi? A young concubine scheming for survival and love amidst the political intrigue of the Forbidden City rises to become Empress, only to end her days as an aging Dowager fearing for her safety. What of her relationships with the men in her life? Three Emperors, the powerful head Eunuch and a journalist all feature in her fascinating story as seen through the eyes of an American artist, who was the first Westerner invited to China to paint her portrait. All vividly brought to life with a stirring score and sumptuous costumes designed by London-based Singapore designer Yang Derong. Don't miss the world premiere of this new Singapore musical that promises to be a feast for the senses! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I bought the CD back in 2003 and the songs are always on my playlist! I support Singapore production and I hope this will make more people love this musical and bring it back every now and then! The lyrics is just too good to not share!
