What is your band´s connection to Beto Vazquez ?
Tarja: I sang on the album and Nightwish´s guitar player made a melody line for one song. We used the same studio and engineer for the recordings and a couple of labels are releasing both bands´ material. Beto Vazquez Infinity was a support act for Nightwish when we toured Argentina.
How was this project presented to you
Tarja: Marcelo sent a demo tape to my label in Finland and asked me to take part in the project. I wasn´t interested at the time because I was very busy with my studies and work and didn´t have any time for it. Then they insisted and finally when Nightwish was touring in South America, I accepted to take part.
Were the tracks composed exclusively for you ?
Tarja: The songs were composed with somebody in mind. Beto and the producer chose the singer for each song once it was written.
Did you do any of the songwriting, arranging or writing lyrics for the album or was it all prepared for you already ? Can you tell us about the story of the lyrics ?
Tarja: I made only some arrangements in the vocal parts of the songs I took part. The album tells us a story from the Middle Age that includes Kings and Queens, Wizards, Battles, but it was not intended to be a concept album in the beginning. When you have all the songs together , in the running order of the album you can discover the story I told you.
Did you get together in the studio or was it all recorded seperately with each one of you ? Please tell us about the experience.
Tarja: It was recorded all around the world in different studios. In America, Austria, Finland and Argentina. I recorded everything in one day at Finvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland. For me this project was a nice experience, it was the first project ever for me to do. I got free hands to do my own arrangements, so I felt pretty good with my singing process.

Lyrics
Here are the lyrics of the two songs Tarja sang solo:
Until Dawn
[Lyrics: Mic - Music: Beto Vazquez - Vocal melody: Emppu Vuorinen]
Lonely nights I think of you,
My life, my king and my land.
Land of war will turn into light
Divine light will give us strength
Sunlight divine cover my land
Angels of light take care of us
Still darkness surrounds myself
Among the trees I saw the gates of hell
I hear that someone screams my name
Devil claims for my life
Sunlight divine give me the strength
Angels of light show me the way
Flying up in the sky, riding through the wind
Until dawn things won't change at all
Strange sensations, fighting the evil in my heart
Angels of light help me save my land
Stars guide me in this night
Light my way to fight the dark
God, I pray to you one more time
With your help I'll save my land
Sunlight divine cover my land
Angels of light take care of us
Flying up in the sky, riding through the wind
Until dawn things won't change at all
Strange sensations, fighting the evil in my heart
Angels of light help me save my land.
Sadness in the Night
[Lyrics: Max Ditamo - Music: Beto Vazquez, Danilo Moschen]
In the night I feel the cold of my loneliness
Cold that embraces my heart
Draining my strength to fight
Only to breathe this suffering
Tell me why?
Why must I bear this cross
So heavy for my soul?
Please hold me in your love
I am the keeper of his heart
I was sent to take care of his sweetness
Never I'll forget his love
Never I'll forget the light
That shone in his eyes
Let me fly, let me be free
To stay with him beyond this life
Run across the sky
Let me see the sun again
Let me die
Give me the light
I'm waiting for death to knock on my door to release my pain
My sadness in the night
Let me die
Give me the light
I'm waiting for death to knock on my door, to release my pain
My sadness in the night, forevermore
Every day I dream of sunlight in my dark room
I want to find a reason why
Justify my reason to stay alive
Within this pain
Tell me why?
Why must I bear this cross
So heavy for my soul?
Please hold me in your love
Let me die
Give me the light
I'm waiting for death to knock on my door, to release my pain
My sadness in the night
Let me die
Give me the light
I'm waiting for death to knock on my door, to release my pain
My sadness in the night
Let me ight
Let me die
Give me the light
I'm waiting for death to knock on my door, to release my pain
My sadness in the night
Let me die
Give me the light
I'm waiting for death to knock on my door, to release my pain
My sadness in the night
