01. We Brought The Angels Down

Maker of time where did you run to
Inside the wheel i cry for you..you
Sore form the sins that make me burn
Circle of fate will keep turning

Is it far...I've got to know
Fading faster soon my journey will be over
There's a place beyond the sun
We must find the reason
Why we can't stop running

We brought the angels down
And made them evil
There's no religion without crime...no
Are we the last in time, the darkest flower
I spread my leaves into the night sky

Warrior of death who do you turn to
Inside you feel it scream for you...they knew
Haunted by pain it makes you burn
The ghost of your mind will return...ooh

Is it far?.. I've got to know
Fading faster soon my journey will be over
There's a place beyond the sun
We must find the reason
Why we can't stop running

We brought the angels down
And made them evil
There's no religion without crime...no
Are we the last in time, the darkest flower
I grow my leaves into the night sky

Take me far...I've got to go
Moving faster as my heart is getting older
There's a place beyond the sun
We must find the reason
Why we can't stop running

We brought the angels down....

We brought the angels down
And made them evil
There's no religion without crime...no
Are we the last in time, the darkest flower
I grow my leaves into the night sky
Oh..and it's perfect dark...
In my lonely heart... oh yeah

02. Blacksong

I'm gonna fight
Even though my life is burning
Everything's gonna be all right
Even if there's no returning

In silence I'm watching
I feel the world around
So restless staring deeper in the night

Like a far away sun when the fire is low
Like a fading star I'm burning out in the cold
Crying in my blacksong

I'm lonely Aging fast down the road
Only in my dreams I'm hiding
Till I'm buried naked and old

I'm waiting... watching
I see the world around
Forever reaching deeper for the light

Like a faraway sun when the fire is low
I'm a fading star burning out in the cold
And I'm crying out my blacksong

Distant kingdoms like sparks on the sky
So many visions they come to you and I
The shine of the future gives no hint of peace
For this torn world there can be no release
Hold on... and all that is beautiful dies
Hold on... I'm standing here asking you why
Hold on... I must believe to rise in the blaze
But I'm tired in me running blind in the haze
Hold on... and everything powerful fades
Hold on... all that is young will age
Hold on... touched by evil darker than coil
No salvation for the warrior soul
But I'll keep on fighting... coming home... oh yeah
Crying in my blacksong

In a faraway sun when the fire is low
Just a glowing star fading out in the cold
Dying with my blacksong

Black... black... turning black
Crying in my blacksong
Crying in my blacksong

03. Stormcrow

I'm coming out at sundown
Casting shadows in this town...
Breathing the night
Holy times are over and I'm a pagan soldier
Looking for love

Stormcrow - I ride the wind
Stormcrow - Into the rain again
I'm a creature of the night you hear me call
Stormcrow

Just a 70's child
I like that rock'n roll style... so hungry for fame
I'm a beggar and a stealer
Always searching for a healer... oh

Stormcrow I ride the wind
Stormcrow Feeling the pain again
Stormcrow So black with sin
Like a phantom in the night
I am hiding from the light before I fall

I'll be waiting for the day
When my breath fades away...
It's the price to pay yeah
But I'll give all my power
Racing the hour and live life my way

Stormcrow I ride the wind
Stormcrow Into the rain again
Stormcrow So dark within
Like a devil in the night
I am leaping from the light and I must fall
Stormcrow... Stormcrow
I glide the wind - I'm never giving in

04. End Of Time

I have a dream to start over again
In silence bleeding - is the heartbroken man
Turning the pages I'm longing for grace
I'm fading picture of a human in rage

Out in the day I am finding my way
People are dreaming, they've got so much to say
Darker and cold in the core of my soul
I'm fire bleeding burning out of control

Tell me who we are
Coming from the far
See the distant star
In a flying car
It's a future world
Go and get your girl thumbs up
Reach for the sky to the end of time

Sun's going black, It's the eclipse of my heart
My wounds are open from the life torn apart
Keep up the pace in this digital race
This time machine has got me trapped in the haze

And the wind must blow
As the rivers flow
Will we ever know
If the truth will show
In another world
Just a boy and girl
Holding on to the end of the line

I hear footsteps in the hall, my friend
But no one's there
I look again
Feeling ice cold as I walk the stairs
Oh, suddenly she's there
I see her floating through the air

We all fade to begin again thumbs up
In silence dreaming everyone woman and man

Tell me what she did
Tell me who she was
Show me how she loved
Here before
Did she run around
With the boys in town
Living fast at the end of the line
Of time

Oh,
I'm like a jet thumbs up
I'm like the speed
Coming faster
I'm holding on to the end of time
Of time

05. Duke Of Love

I've been running with demons
From the day I was born
Burned my soul in the fire
It turned my heart to stone
But I came out of the shadows
And stood my ground through the storm
I stole desire from the devil
And power from the Lord above

I'm the Duke.. the Duke of Love
No King can love a woman like the Duke of Love
The Duke can't get enough
Your soul belongs forever to the Duke of Love

I'll suck you dry like a vampire
I'll make you shiver and moan
Oh baby you are the reason
Please let me take you home

I'm the Duke.. the Duke of Love
No King can love a woman like the Duke of Love
The Duke can't get enough
Your body burns forever for the Duke of Love

Oh Baby...
Now listen...
I'm a hound for good loving
Like a dog for a bone
And if it's raining in your heart baby
You need love to keep you warm

I'm the Duke... the Duke of Love
No King can love a woman like the Duke of Love

The Duke can't get enough
Your heart will stay forever
With the Duke of Love
No King can love a woman like the Duke of Love
No King can love a woman like the Duke of Love

Get over here baby... I'm the Duke
The Duke of Love... all right

I'm the Duke... the Duke of Love
I'm the Duke
I'm the Duke
I'm the Duke

06. Burning Chains

Driving the the pouring rain
My heart's heavy filled with pain
I think of you and of what went wrong
I wonder how I can carry on...oh baby

Like a coin in a wishing well
Keeping secrets I can never tell
Passing roads that lead to hell
As love is slowly dying

Tell me why you said goodbye
And left me in the storm
I'll never know the reason why you're so cold
Always just a fool in love, blinded by your smile
But in your eyes I saw the lying

I surrender Surrender to the state of heartache
A love pretender Only you can set me free
You left your burning chains around my soul

Always just a fool in love
Now I pray to the Lord above
Is there a way to stop the crying

I surrender Surrender to the state of heartache
A love pretender Since the day you went away
You left eternal pain inside my heart... oh

Tell me why you said goodbye
And left me in the storm
I'll never know the reason why you're so cold

I surrender... oh

07. After The Dying

From the moment
I came into this world
I have believed
Surrounded by hopes and dreams
Been turning every stone I've seen
To find the key
And soon It's the end for me... yeah

Cast my ashes to the strongest wind
Let the breezes blow through the rain and snow
When it all is over I'll be resting free
Rising soul after cold dying
Oh yeah... No more crying

From the spell of the midnight sun
To the roaring thunder
I found my way... yeah
So many chances I have sacrificed
Passed forgotten roads on my journey home

Cast my ashes to the strongest wind
Let the breezes blow through the rain and snow
When it all is over I'll be resting free
Rising soul after cold dying
Oh yeah... No more crying
After the dying

Cast my ashes to the strongest wind
Let the rivers flow and the trees will grow
When it all is over I'll be resting free
Rising soul from the cold dying
No more... no more... no more crying
Oh lord... there'll be no more lying

08. Midnight Madness

I came here to bring you power
But they all pulled me down
And crushed my tower
Far from heaven fighting the dragon
Blind with anger like devil's spawn

Midnight madness Sore with sadness
Screaming the pain away... away
Night wolf raving Madman waving
Howling my blues here in the shade

Like a wreck my rust goes deep
I play it cool but my inside bleeds... yeah
A falling angel in this evil well
Dying forever in my lonely shell

Moonlight madness Scarred from sadness
Dreaming the shame away... away
Night wolf crying cold and dying
Nothing is new here in the shade
Oh... cold and dying... dying... dying... ahh

Midnight madness Sore with sadness
Burning my rage again... again...
Raving restless soon I'm breathless
Nothing is new here in the shade

Oh... I'll cry my days of hell
Inside this evil well
Oh yeah... I'm near absolute zero
Just a broken zero
Nothing is new... nothing is true...
I'm howling my blues here in the shade

09. Are You Ready

Are you ready to rock
Are you ready to rip it up
Do you know what I'm talking about
Are you ready to get it up
Are you ready to dance
Are you ready to hit the floor
Are you ready
If you're ready I'm ready

Are you ready to rock
Are you ready to shake it up
Do you know what I'm thinking of
Are you ready to tear it up
Are you ready to dance
Are you ready to hit the floor
Are you ready
If you're ready I'm ready

Are you ready to rip it up
Are you ready to take it down
Are you ready to dance about
Am I messing around
Are you ready to rock
Are you ready to hit the floor
Are you ready
If you're ready I'm ready

Are you ready to rock... rock
Oh yeah

10. Starfire

So many faces cold and worn
Stranded in this world
So little time there's no rewinding
Must be strong and carry on

As the light of the moon catches me I live... I live
As the stars shimmer bright for me I live... I live

I am the footprint in the sand
I am the wind that sweeps the land
I am the eyeglass of a blinded man
In the heat of desire I'm a starfire
Falling down from the sky... yeah

So many choices where will they lead us
Don't know where to go
Pray for the children for they are the future
Teach them how to play

As the light of the moon catches me I live... I live
As the stars shimmer bright for me I live... I live

I am the footprint in the sand...

As the light of the moon catches me I live... I live
As the stars shimmer bright for me I live... I live

I am the footprint in the sand...

The sunshine and the rain, I am the hurt I am the pain
I am the soldier without a name
In the heat of desire I'm a starfire
Falling down from the sky I'm a starfire
Burning desire... I'm a starfire I'm on fire
