Tracks



01. We Shall Se The Light

Oh... oh...

Angel who came from the sky.
Remember why you've been sent here.
Trapped in this mortal shell.
Aware that your mission is near.

But you'll have to make this journey all alone.
To fight the evil down here on your own.

They will hide from you.
You'll never see their real faces.
Never turn your back on anyone.
In whatever places.

They were just like you,
Angels, but they have fallen.
Time has come to make them pay the price.
It's your burden.

Use your faith, trust your heart.
And you will succeed where we have failed.
So we shall see the light again.
In this world torn apart
You'll have to bring love where hate prevailed.
So we shall see the light forever again.

A place where angels dare never go.
Where even light cannot see behind.
Races divided by sorrow.
Whose leaders are those you must find.

Tell me, Angel.
That you will not give up the fight
Never break the oath you have sworn
And do what is right

It's a world of death
Where dark angels are kings.
Time has come for you to end this war
And spread your wings...

02. Guardian Angel

It happens every day.
In every place I go.
And before I realize,
You swiftly disappear.

You seem so close today.
Is it me you follow?
Are you here before my eyes?
I know you are near.

While I step toward you,
I suddenly lose your trace.
All I need is to see your face.

Have our souls met before?
In this life, or another.
Our destinies are bound.
Like so many here.

I wonder what you're here for.
There could be no answer.
What you hide must be found.
Then all things will be clear

While I step toward you,
I suddenly lose your trace.
All I need is to see your face.

You give me hope, when I am lost.
You hold my soul.
You're my guardian angel.
You give me hope, when I am lost.
You guard my soul.
You're my guardian angel.

I heard your song in the night,
Breaking through the silence.
These words comfort me.
Like a whisper in my ear.

I saw your face in the light.
Watching from a distance.
This force surrounding me,
Has eased away my fear.

03. Keepers Of The Field

So many gave their blood.
But all have died in the mud.
For what they call their nation.
Or sometimes for their own salvation.

This soil where we passed away.
Remains since that sad day.
The place where us, forsaken.
Will always stand for the fallen.

Our swords pointing to the sky.
We're the ones that none dare defy.
Our songs leading the heroes.
From the first to the last blows.

This soil where we passed away.
Remains since that sad day.
The place where us, forsaken.
Will always stand for the fallen.

Here we came, here we died.
Here we are keepers of the field.
Here we fought, here we have fallen.
Here we are keepers of the field.
Keepers of the field.
Keepers of the field.

No matter for whom they fight.
We are side by side day and night.
And all the brave men who will fall.
Will finally join us all.

On this ground some have survived.
Destinies not yet arrived.
On their path so many battles.
So far away from their castles.

04. The Reaper

There is no rest for me to take.
Since I am your humble servant.
There is so much work for me to make.
And give respite is what I can't.

On my list, growing on and on.
A name appears then fades away.
Until my duty here is finally done.
Like the hunter I'm on my prey.

Written by the ones above us.
Destinies, engraved carefully.
Forever drawn, none shall discuss.
The path is set, just come with me.

My world you can't see... forever will be.
Its gates open wide, for everyone here.
My world you can't touch is setting you free.
Come inside, now the path is clear.

I am no friend, I am no enemy.
I do not wear any mask.
Call me the reaper, call me bitter death.
I'm here to fulfill my task.

One day I liberate... the other I take.
Forever surrounding, prowling.
Always around, asleep or awake.
For the ultimate sign I'm waiting

On my list, growing on and on.
A name appears then fades away.
Until my duty here is finally done.
Like the hunter I'm on my prey

Many men challenged me in duels.
Astray souls... Ignoring their own fates
Wasting time trying to change the rules.
I always win when death awaits.

My world you can't see... forever will be.
Its gates open wide, for everyone here.
My world you can't touch is setting you free.
Come inside... the path is clear.
My world you can't see... forever will be.
Its gates open wide, for everyone here.
My world you can't touch is setting you free.
Come inside, now the path is clear.

05. Diviner

The words I'm about to say.
You might not be ready for.
All you thought you had forever.
Will never be yours anymore.

No... Oh no...

This life in a golden castle.
Far away from any trouble.
Was the start, start of a journey.
Where fate is predictable.

You came to hear the diviner.
To know what you should ignore.
You gave your gold to the diviner.
For the truth you are searching for.

The future I saw in your eyes.
Was not the one expected.
But only you can tell us why.
This curse has been inflicted.

Worst to come is there beyond.
Where life has no more to say.
You have all the reasons to fear.
The unknown that's on your way.

But what I saw on that day.
In the dark eyes of destiny.
Is nothing you can compare.
To what your choice could make you see.

Oh...oh...oh...

Once you'll finally find the doors.
Where none have seen behind.
Your heart will show you the path.
Which leads deep into your mind.

06. The Calling

Whispers from times that have passed.
Deadly pain that forever lasts.
Prayers merely misunderstood.
Unheard voices that someone should.

This message however so clear.
Softly roaming at my ear.
Tells the story long concealed.
Of souls whose fate is sealed.

Their eyes forever open wide.
Witnesses to their death denied.
All the memories of hopeless living.
For help they're waiting.

Hear, hear the calling of those who once have lived.
Oh hear, hear the calling of these wandering souls.
For whom the bell tolls.

Helpless cries, forgotten song.
Breaks the silence they are among.
Feeling helpless, awfully blind,
Us who cannot... cannot glance behind.

Eternal sleep is their last wish.
To put an end to the anguish.
Since their death, living in pain.
And now they call in vain.

07. Howling At The Moon

Silent moon, high above.
Witness of the night to come.
Under your charm I succumb.

Sudden rage, from within.
Burning fire in my veins.
Need for blood, only remains.

Are you friend, are you foe.
Behind your soft glow?
Only you and me now know.
How far pain will grow.

Beast of prey, I've become.
Lurking at all that's passing by.
No mercy tonight, the moon is my ally.

Gruesome duty, deadly night.
Just like many in the past.
I can't resist, will pain forever last?

Are you friend, are you foe.
Behind your soft glow?
Only you and me now know.
How far pain will grow.

I am howling at the moon.
Hoping for dawn, crying in despair.
I am howling at the moon.
Until someone finds my lair.
(Howling at the moon...)

Long ago, from a curse I was born.
Living from innocent's death.
On my fate I mourn.
And suffer 'til my last breath.

08. Broken Wings

This side you have chosen
Is one of darkness.
Where no light can reach
And no breeze caress.
All those who believed,
You've left in distress.
I'm here watching you falling, helpless.

The work you've accomplished
Remains now useless.
Temptations around
Have turned you mindless.
I know the way out
But here I confess.
I'm just watching you falling, helpless.

With broken wings.
How could you reach heaven?
Where the angels sing.
And where leads your passion.

With broken wings.
You can't carry the burden.
And the pain it brings.
Broken wings...

Once you'll reach the bottom
Of this empty well.
Won't you see the truth,
There, out from your shell?
Always have in mind
The place where you dwell.
Before you'll have to say, farewell.

Point of no return,
Tempting gates of hell.
Sitting there waiting
In your holding cell.
Won't you fight again
And ring the holy bell.
Or just give up and say, farewell.

09. Angel Eyes

From the place where I stand,
I wished I'd be with you.
But life was already planned
For both me and you.
I now understand
There's nothing we can do.
That's why I kissed your hand
And I just flew...

(Ostende mihi vestros angeli oculos)
...so far away
I know I broke your heart.
Believe me there was no other way
I still can feel your pain
We're from two worlds apart
I had to break the chain.

From the dark where I wait
I wish I'd hear your voice
You know I don't believe in fate.
So what's my other choice?
I can't understand
The things I feel inside
That's why I left the land
So now I hide...

(Ostende mihi vestros angeli oculos)
...so far away
I know I broke your heart
Believe me there was no other way
I'm still searching in vain
A place for a new start
Where I'll forget my pain

Show me your angel eyes
And I'll follow you blind to heaven skies.
Take me by surprise,
Tell me sweet little lies
Show me your eyes.
Your angel eyes...

I never thought I would love.
A soldier of the light.
When I saw you rise above.
You were shining so bright.
I now understand.
How I feel about you.
That's why I kissed your hand
And I just flew...
