Lana Lane grew up in a very music-oriented family, with the sounds of her mother's voice and the radio constantly filling the air. Naturally, Lana picked this up and started becoming seriously interested in singing in high school. She moved to Los Angeles to further her career where she met future husband, music producer, and synth/keyboardist Erik Norlander. The two eventually founded their own production company/record label Think Tank Media to release their work. She has produced many recordings using a many guest musicians such as Pain of Salvation's Kristoffer Gildenlow.
Arjen Anthony Lucassen, mastermind of Ayreon, Ambeon, Stream of Passion, and Star One, took note of Lana's voice, and the two have collaborated on a few projects together. Arjen took a part in the writing of Tarot, and Lana did guest vocals on Ayreon's Universal Migrator albums, for example.
Lana has produced many albums over the years, though Secrets of Astrology and Queen of the Ocean are the most widely known.
Before You Go
Lana Lane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the edge of the rainbow
A Castle stood shining in the storm
While a new princess was born
By age five
On dragon wings she'd ride
They'd fly from the oceans to the sun
Each new horizon together
Opened their hearts to forever
One last look at what we know
We won't...Before we go
Searching worlds above
The pricess fell in love
An had to return the dragon home
Now he flies alone
Each new horizon together
Facing the thought of forever
One last look
At what you know
One last smile...before you go
Many years rolled by
One day the dragon died
He now lives in the oceans and the sun
Again they fly as one
Each new horizon together
Opened their hearts to forever
One last look
At what we know
One last tear...Before i go

Centuries ago
Long ago
At the edge of the rainbow
In a magical place
A Castle stood shining in the storm
A castle stood strong amidst difficulties
While a new princess was born
A princess was welcomed into the world
By age five
At a young age
On dragon wings she'd ride
She rode on a dragon's back
They'd fly from the oceans to the sun
They travelled across immense distances
For years they flew as one
They shared a deep connection for a long time
Each new horizon together
They faced new challenges together
Opened their hearts to forever
They were willing to love each other forever
One last look at what we know
A final glance at the familiar
We won't...Before we go
We won't forget before we leave
Searching worlds above
Exploring new places beyond our world
The pricess fell in love
The princess found love
An had to return the dragon home
And had to leave her dragon companion and go back home
Now he flies alone
The dragon now travels by himself
Facing the thought of forever
Coming to terms with the idea of eternity
One last look
A final glance
At what you know
At the familiar
One last smile...before you go
One last smile before leaving
Many years rolled by
A lot of time passed
One day the dragon died
One day, the dragon passed away
He now lives in the oceans and the sun
He now rests in the beauty of nature
Again they fly as one
Once again, they are together
One last tear...Before i go
One last tear before leaving
