Can we get the lyrics posted on-line?

I love this storyline, and it is almost manditory to read along with the CD when you have the chance... but the letters in the CD insert booklet are so small and my eyes aren't getting any better!

It would be nice to get the lyrics up on-line (of course, with the symbols of who sings which lines) so that I (and others who are interested) could print it out, instead of having to squwint and strain our eyes!

Nikolo, any chance of this happening in the near future?

PLEASE!

Drew

Hi , Drew
I am sorry , but we are not planning to post the lyrics online as this is the only
way for me to prevent piracy.

Best regards:

Nikolo

Darn it.... I was hoping you weren't going to say something like that, Nikolo!!
Guess I'm going to have to go to the eye doctor for a new eyeglass prescription!!

I do think if others out there saw some of the lyrics & storyline to this, they'd be more inclined to buy it. I know I really enjoy a great rock opera, and the lyrics/storyline on NOSTRADAMUS are highly compelling! Your new CD is the MOTHER OF ALL ROCK OPERAS!!!

thanks for your reply, Nikolo!

Hi,Drew
I understand what you mean.I would like also to post the lyrics online as I am
proud of them.
However , if did that it would take no more than 10 minutes to make a copy of the whole thing , which I want to avoid ofcourse.
As you've noticed too , the lyrics are absolutely necessary in order to get the whole story , so people who want to understand it must have the booklet.
Chosen Man is a killer song.

Nikolo

Nikolo,

I think it's very wise not to put the story line and lyrics on your site. There are lots of a*sh*les out there who might just print out the story and not have to buy the original CD after all.

People are going to make pirate copies regardless of whether they have the lyrics or not.

Nikolo,
I agree with Drew - I also have problems in reading the lyrics.
The letters are too small and are hard to read on the dark background. They should have been printed bold.

But nevertheless I watched (and recorded it on cassette) the World Wide Rockshow Special presented by the radio channel BFBS in Gemany on August 4th. A speaker - I suppose Donald Sutherland - as a storyteller presented the story which is written in the booklet between each single track. This was brillant and a good way for better understanding the story. Next day I bought the CD which is my favorite now. I hope you will performe this opera one day on stage.
Thank you for this outstanding CD.
Vera

I can agree with penny. The piracy will be anyhow. But many musicians don't care about this. For example, Tobias Sammet who created marvellous metal opera Avantasia. Avantasia lyrics are posted on every metal lyrics site.
The other point for you, Nikolo - i think that people will never give up a possibility to by a normal CD with beauty layout etc.

Nikolo is free to do whatever he wants with his site. It is as simple as that!
