Tracks



01. Lady Of Winter

Her wraith rides the crystal sky
Of changing colors
The glowing clouds are moving through
The winter night
Snow is falling silver shining
Through the shadows deep blue dreaming
Eyes of diamond shine
Lady of winter, turning to rain
White world of wonder, fading away
Bright beams of violent light
Break the silence
Melting colors crushed beneath the waves
Of rolling flames
Seasons turning, burning burning
Lady of winter, song in the wind
Melody whispers, seasons will change
Lady of winter, turning to rain
White world of wonder, fading away
Lady of winter, song in the wind
Melody whispers, seasons will change

02. Red Sharks

Trapped in their world no free passage to leave
You accept their tyrannical dream
You pray to their gods not to your chosen ones
Freedom's clutched in the jaw of red kings
Give us your freedom, we'll give you hell
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil
Give us your freedom, we'll give you hell
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil
Glory to red sharks
Answer to your red dictators
Feeding from your dreams
Cast into a sea of red sharks
Holding the power a hand that grips fate
Stripping from you all but fear
Hovering vultures like demons feed
On all who bow to their communist scheme
Give us your freedom, we'll give you hell
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil
Give us your freedom, we'll give you hell
Hear no freedom, see no freedom, speak no freedom
Glory to red sharks
Answer to your red dictators
Feeding from your dreams
Cast into a sea of red sharks
Bloody red sharks

03. Painted Skies

When she's sad the world is lonely
Silver clouds are crying only
For the pain she feels
So deep inside
The love she thought would save her
Has somehow now enslaved her
To a dream she though she wanted
To come true
Spread your wings you can fly
But the dove is never free
In painted skies that shade the color
Of your dream
Only nightmares are real
Confusion conceals the only reason
For the feelings you can't hide
When she smiles the world it shines
But the silver clouds are only there
To hide the distant storm
That's coming soon
The love she let surround her
Has become the waves that drown her
In the sea of everchaning
Warmth and cold
Spread your wings you can fly
But the dove is never free
In painted skies that shade the color
Of your dream
Only nightmares are real
Confusion conceals the only reason
For the feelings you can't hide
You can fly
Spread your wings you can fly
But the dove is never free
In painted skies that shade the color
Of your dream
Only nightmares are real
Confusion conceals the only reason
For the feelings you can't hide
When the nightmares ensue
All that you can do is paint your sky
Another brighter shade of blue
Spread your wings you can glide
Above the violent storms
That plague your life
You paint the picture blue or grey
Fly away

04. Masque Of The Red Death

The pain lingers on beyond these castle walls
The red death is taking them all
While the king and his court dance the night away
At the masquerade
The hour of midnight grows near
Masque of the red death
No one is safe from the poisonous plague
That you breed
Dance while you may in the dark of the room
With the stranger
Laugh while you may, laugh at the danger
Is the a message from god
Or fate guiding hideous hands?
Won't you show us your face
Masque of the red death
No one is safe from the poisonous plague
That you breed
Masque of the red death
No one is saved, no one remembers your name
On and on, one by one we fall
Into the bleeding arms of the stranger
Ripping the masque from your face
I feel your disease running
Through my veins
A new king of death threatens us all
Masque of the red death
No one is safe from the poisonous plague
That you breed
Masque of the red death
The price that you pay for your lust
May be your life

05. In Dark Places

Waves pound the gloomy shores, I watch them roll
Across my feet so warm
I know she's waiting there for me
In ancient rhymes she whispers in the wind
A strange and haunting melody
As it fills the silence, I feel the shivers cold
Embrace my soul
From the deep she beckons me
Promising eternity
In a world where nothing's real
Beyond this realm of light and dreams
You, mystic moon it's you who rules the night
Breathing life into my dreams
I see your face in nightmares shining bright
So, it's fare to you my sunlit world
So full of hate and misery
You see I can't take it anymore
From my sleep you beckon me
Promising eternity
In your world of mystery
To your realm of harmony
In dark places
In dark places we will be
Forever beyond the light
In dark places we will be free
From the pain that fills our lives
Through arching moonbeams of light we glide
In bending shadows of warm starlight
Angels of colors light the night as they fly
Transcending into the electric sky
In dark places
In dark places we will be
Forever beyond the light
In dark places we will be free
From the pain that fills our lives
In dark places we will be
Forever beyond the light
In dark places we will see
Worlds we've always dreamed

06. Where Dragons Rule

The dragons rise from the sea of flames
Through the night you can hear them marching
Breathing fire, wings of steel
By the thousands they take to the sky
Shadow us all
In a world
Where dragons rule
All across the sky they soar
Burning trails into the night
Laser eyes gleaming death seek and destroy
Like shooting stars they fall from the sky
Death from above
In a world between myth and strange reality
In a world where dragons rule
Mission: Kill
We kill for the dragon~ We have no reason
Mission: Kill
We die for the dragon~ Is there a reason?
March!
Where dragons rule

07. Lonely

She awakens from a dream to a silent room
Where shadows speak of memories
Another sleepless night,
Afraid to face the day
It seems so long ago she shared the love
She feels so deep inside
Her love will never die
But still she feels so lonely...
Lonely in Love
She wakes up to another day
With everything going wrong
She wonders where she would be
If she had ever seen his face
She turns on the radio,
But it's playing that same old song
She's pouring another drink
To drown away the memory of it all
She can't wait another night
Take another day
She doesn't want to be
Lonely in Love
There's a feeling she can't explain
That no one can understand
She just needs to get away
But there's nowhere that she can go
Tomorrow's so far away
She's longing for yesterday
If she could just turn back time
She wants to leave the world behind
She can't wait another night
Take another day
She doesn't want to be
Lonely in Love
The night will fade, the sun will shine
A new day
And light the way for you to find
New Love

08. Burning Bridges

We've all been hurt before
You know the pain
And just to love is not enough
So many times I've had to turn away
From love I know could be so true to me
Now I stand alone in my dark and lonely world
Surrounded by this cold embrace of jealousy
No feeling remains, like a restless heart
Naked in the frozen winds of sorrow
Now I feel the bridges burning
Flames reflecting in my eyes
The feeling much too cold to share
Another broken heart to spare
Smoke clouds dreams I've left behind
I never meant to bring you sorrow
I never meant to cause you pain
I know how much it burns so deep inside
It's burning me too
Leave me silent in the morning light
Hold me close until the morning comes again
I need you so bad
Tell me lies if truth reveals your love
Feel the flames are rising
The bridge is falling, the bridge is burning
I never knew that I would need you
I always thought you would be there
Now I feel the bridges burning
Flames reflecting in my eyes
I never meant to bring you sorrow
I never meant to cause you pain
Still thinking of you
You know I love you... still

09. Eternal World

Down through the valley of shadows we go
into the canyon of moonlight below
Stairs of stone descending
Down where the magic river's bending
Down the river we go
To the sea of gold
(Where?) things are not as they seem
(Why?) you are not as you were
Behold eternal world
where time has no meaning
reality is dreaming
Feel your flesh is melting
Feel you spirit twisting
Feel it ripping at your mind
There's no time for praying
Feel your soul is pleading
Welcome to eternal world

10. Transcendence

The snow was gently falling
A white mist filled the air
I hear the cold wind calling
Something's waiting there
I stand alone in silence
Upon the mountain high
I'm waiting for the spirits
Eyes upon the sky
They whisper in my visions
They haunt me in my dreams
They've shown me worlds that shimmer
And peaceful fields of green
Try to find you sky
Your world within yourself
In death I've found the answer
In death I've found the answer
In death I live again
Fear not the reaper's blade
It does not mean the end
It never really ends
