Buildings of dark crumbling stone
A presence of malice and horrors unknown Vast endless stairways and halls From black yawning portals insanity calls In ruins aeons old Beneath the sea The Ancients long to be free They lie dead and dreaming at this fallen site Waiting for their soon coming reign When their slaves start dreaming and the stars are right They'll awake again and reclaim the Earth Nightmares cause mind-numbing fear To poets and artists all over the world Strange visions are haunting their sleep A city of madness that lurks in the deep In ruins aeons old Beneath the sea The Ancients long to be free They lie dead and dreaming at this fallen site Waiting for their soon coming reign When their slaves start dreaming and the stars are right They'll awake again and reclaim the Earth Timeless terrors rise Insanity Awaits for all humanity They lie dead and dreaming at this fallen site Waiting for their soon coming reign When their slaves start dreaming and the stars are right They'll awake again and reclaim the Earth The Great Old Ones shall reign again 02. Into The Light
When the morning has broken
Can you see the great open sky Or are you afraid to enter life From your world's obligations I have struggled to get away And now I'm finally free From the land of order I'm hiding In the hand of shelter I roam There's a light beyond the mountains And there's where I go When the Maker rock the boat The unbelievers dive together Tonight we celebrate our never-ending flight And together side by side we run into the light I'm a needle in your eye I'm the one you can never be You're a dutiful drudge lost in time There is no use denying Labour and guilt will always rule Your predictable realm From the land of order I'm hiding In the hand of shelter I roam There's a light beyond the mountains And there's where I go When the Maker rock the boat The unbelievers dive together Tonight we celebrate our never-ending flight And together side by side we run into the light There are preachers among the fools Spinning tales of laws and rules It's a language spoken in vain I will never learn to take the blame When the Maker rock the boat The unbelievers dive together Tonight we celebrate our never-ending flight And together side by side we run into the light 03. The Narrow Mind
Anywhere where the word is told
Speculations steal the show It's a never ending ignorance Any rumour they believe Any secret they reveal They are blinded by their arrogance Vultures of lies stain my dignity With their eternal insanity I stand before the narrow mind A victim of opinions All has the right to judge my life Here in the fools' dominion An invention in the wind Or a guess of what could be Is enough to draw an inference What is wrong and what is right What is black and what is white Will they ever learn the difference Vultures of lies stain my dignity With their eternal insanity I stand before the narrow mind A victim of opinions All has the right to judge my life Here in the fools' dominion I stand before the narrow mind A victim of opinions All has the right to judge my life Here in the fools' dominion 04. Wall Of Stars
In the forest of silver and haze
Where the children of yesterday play We sail away on a river of dreams Bound to carry the night side by side No tomorrow, no clouds in the sky Just the echo of time passing by We hold the moment and glide with the wind To wherever the stars may decide Eyes of thousands are shining in the night For the power of sound in the neon lights Smoke and thunder, excitement and delight The show has begun and the waves on the sea never end We all come alive in the land of memories Where our destinies unite in harmony Shadows of the night, young and old, stranger or not There's a room for everyone who come to the wall of stars See the beauty embracing the beast To the magic of song in the breeze In the eye of the storm they are lost Gazing over the field where spirits fly Eyes of thousands are shining in the night For the power of sound in the neon lights Smoke and thunder, excitement and delight The show has begun and the waves on the sea never end We all come alive in the land of memories Where our destinies unite in harmony Shadows of the night, young and old, stranger or not There's a room for everyone who come to the wall of stars I recall another day I recall another place No matter how far you go You'll always be heading home Immortal words in the wind Sung by the stars will guide your way 05. Battlefield
Now I stand here alone
Watching over shadows On this field of death I slowly raise my head I can't escape or deny The pain I carry inside But I will rise again Before the night descends Armed to prevail and eager to slay I can't rest until I get my revenge Raise your banners Raise your banners high Into battle - Into war we'll ride Rumbling under the sky The brave are waiting to fight Laughing at your gods I'll crush your filthy hearts Let the wind of war whine As the chaos arise What will be, will be This is my destiny You'll taste my blade in one final breath I can't rest until you're wiped off this earth Raise your banners Raise your banners high Into battle - Into war we'll ride Warriors! Sight your preys Victory lies ahead Warriors! Sight your preys Victory lies ahead Raise your banners Raise your sword and shield Die with honour on the battlefield 06. The Quest Remains
I see a face in the mirror
With weary eyes and far from a smile Who is he? Where is he going Is he a man or is he a child What's the point trying to be a star When you can't figure out who you are It's a shame fighting for a dream That you can't live in reality The road to nowhere will never end The mask you wear is your only friend You may survive on the desert plains But always find that the quest remains Are you a saint or a sinner Do you belong in Heaven or Hell Are you a loser or a winner I guess only time will tell There's no use counting tears in the rain Or denying the sorrow and pain It's too late when you realise That the mirror is your very eyes The road to nowhere will never end The mask you wear is your only friend You may survive on the desert plains But always find that the quest remains The road to nowhere will never end The mask you wear is your only friend You may survive on the desert plains But always find that the quest remains 07. Dawn Dancer
Beyond the doors of the living
Where imagination fades The eyes of ancient ages Gazing over a crimson shade Future unfolds with the rising sun Unspoken words where nothing yet's been done Where the book of life paints the sky Dawn dancer share your mind Tell me the story of tomorrow Dawn dancer let me know The one way I must follow Dawn dancer turn the page Where do I go and what is my fate Dawn dancer tell me all Now before it is too late A warning from the unknown A prophecy for the wise The coming lies before you But can you see your own demise A distant sight visualize our doom Destiny calls and the future looms Where the book of life paint the sky Dawn dancer share your mind Tell me the story of tomorrow Dawn dancer let me know The one way I must follow Dawn dancer turn the page Where do I go and what is my fate Dawn dancer tell me all Now before it is too late I'm ready for the end Let us find it together I'm ready for knowledge I've been waiting forever Dawn dancer Dawn dancer share your mind Tell me the story of tomorrow Dawn dancer let me know The one way I must follow Dawn dancer turn the page Where do I go and what is my fate Dawn dancer tell me all Now before it is too late 08. Roads Of Loneliness
Behold the eternal loner
Escaping his troubled mind A stranger caught in the wheel of time The lost traveller is fighting To hold back the passing days But there're no breaks on the train of life Can I forgive Can I forget I don't know Maybe the wind of death will solve it all Somewhere I went astray In labyrinths of my soul I try to find my way Walking along endless roads of loneliness The eyes of the solitary Are nailed to the empty view Of everlasting uncertainty How long do I have to struggle When no battle's to be won It's all a perpetual insanity Can I forgive Can I forget I don't know Maybe the wind of death will solve it all Somewhere I went astray In labyrinths of my soul I try to find my way walking along endless roads of loneliness Somewhere I went astray In labyrinths of my soul I try to find my way walking along endless roads of loneliness 09. Temple Of Immortal Shame
Jaws of devastation
Breathing fire in my face Words of oppression bite me with disgust Eyes of condemnation Piercing my forsaken soul Another sacrifice has to be done In the altar's shadow I confess my heresy I'm a perfect sinner Unbound and free All my demons come alive Inside the temple of immortal shame Lord, have mercy on me now I have no other choice but to lie Straight in the face of Death Claws of frozen hatred Wrapping tight around my neck As I'm allowed to answer the foul beast Can I cheat to be spared From the hand of slavery Or will my true intentions be revealed In the altar's shadow I confess my heresy I'm a perfect sinner Unbound and free All my demons come alive Inside the temple of immortal shame Lord, have mercy on me now I have no other choice but to lie Straight in the face of Death Life, only for the brave Whips and chains, only for the slaves I am no slave! All my demons come alive Inside the temple of immortal shame Lord, have mercy on me now I have no other choice but to lie Straight in the face of Death 10. The Hall Of Valhalla
Night falls on the battlefield
Where the blood of heroes lie Still dying with sword in hand I await the northern lights Born on the wings of fate they'll come To grant my final ride To the land of the glorious dead, up high Where I shall be given eternal life With the bravest warriors I'll unite On the plain of consecration I'll fight In the home of the slain There is only room for the chosen ones Let me die bold and brave To deserve my place in the Halls of Valhalla All my life I have been yearning For this battle to come Night and day I have been fighting For my prize to be won Death calls in the chilling wind How I yearn to bid farewell To the Earth and mortality And the sky I know too well Born on the wings of fate they'll come To grant my final ride To the land of the glorious dead, up high Where I shall be given eternal life With the bravest warriors I'll unite On the plain of consecration I'll fight In the home of the slain There is only room for the chosen ones Let me die bold and brave To deserve my place in the Halls of Valhalla Odin! Expose your kingdom in the sky Embrace my soul, now as I die Nothing remains between me and the stars So now I'm claiming my reward Asgard awaits, Asgard awaits Let me come home Don't forget me, don't forsake me Let me come home Home to my father where I was meant to be To the land of the glorious dead, up high Where I shall be given eternal life With the bravest warriors I'll unite On the plain of consecration I'll fight In the home of the slain There is only room for the chosen ones Let me die bold and brave To deserve my place in the Halls of Valhalla Valhalla |
