02. Ghost In The Black

We are heading out on the land
Raising our swords in the air
We'll fight for glory 'till the very end
Strong with no fear and despair

We followed the sign
Leaving our world behind

Oh, Ghost in the Black
Running and leaving, we're under attack
Oh, Ghost in the Black
Hiding our souls, we might not come back

Should we go on into the dark
Even if we will be crucified
Expect no mercy, disastrously spark
The battle goes on in the night

We followed the sign
Leaving our world behind

Oh, Ghost in the Black
Running and leaving, we're under attack
Oh, Ghost in the Black
Hiding our souls, we might not come back

Oh, Ghost in the Black
Running and leaving, we're under attack
Oh, Ghost in the Black
Hiding our souls, we might not come back

Oh, Ghost in the Black
Running and leaving, we're under attack
Oh, Ghost in the Black
Hiding our souls, we might not come back

Oh, there's a Ghost in the Black
Oh, there's a Ghost in the Black
Ghost in the Black
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ghost in the Black
Yeah

03. Run With The Wind

Your life was filled with anger, agony and pain
Continuing problems, always the same
The government is not your friend, all words full of lies
Collateral damages, no big surprise

On and on to a brighter future
Moving on to another strain

Run with the Wind
And leave it all behind
Run with the Wind
And find your right destiny
Run with the Wind
And get rid of it all
Run with the Wind
And try to free your souls
Free your soul, hm

On with the action, enough of broken dreams
Never surrender, by no means
No wonder why there were always fights out on the streets
Inequitable conceptions we don't need

On and on to a brighter future
Moving on to another strain

Run with the Wind
And leave it all behind
Run with the Wind
And find your right destiny
Run with the Wind
And get rid of it all
Run with the Wind
And try to free your soul

When will we find a solution
When will it come to an end

Run with the Wind
And leave it all behind
Run with the Wind
And find your right destiny
Run with the Wind
And get rid of it all
Run with the Wind
And try to free your soul

Run with the Wind
And leave it all behind
Run with the Wind
And find your right destiny
Run with the Wind
And get rid of it all
Run with the Wind
And try to free your soul
Free your soul
And run with the Wind
Run with the Wind

04. Before I Die

All of your life you worked hard for your money
But when you got old you realized it wasn't funny
You're shouting out "Who's to blame?"
A one way cry that drives you insane

But when your life is over, when it's coming to an end

You'll say I was born to love you
I don't wanna cry
I just wanna hold you in my arms
Before I die

Life's a bitch, I ain't no loser
Reaper'call is coming closer
Party all night in the heart of the city
Can't join no more and that ain't pretty

But when your life is over, when it's coming to an end

You'll say I was born to love you
I don't wanna cry
I just wanna hold you in my arms
Before I die
Yeah

But when your life is over, when it's coming to an end

You'll say I was born to love you
I don't wanna cry
I just wanna hold you in my arms
Before I die

I was born to love you
I don't wanna cry
I just wanna hold you in my arms again
Before I die
Before I die
Before I die

05. Circle Of The Oath

When I was young I saw the birds of prey
Leaving all behind and had nothing more to say

I walked through sunshine and was singing in the rain
Before judgement day

Wandering around in search of fool's gold
But all I found were stories left untold

I walked through sunshine and was singing in the rain
Before judgement day
I heard birds crying, crying out their pain
On judgement day
Judgement day

I can see through pouring rain
Changing fortunes on their way
From the cradle to their grave
That's what life's about
Stumbling in, fading out

Circle of the Oath
Circle of the Oath

There's only one life could be blowing in the wind
But we will find out on the day of reckoning

I walked through sunshine and was singing in the rain
Before judgement day
I heard birds crying, crying out their pain
Before judgement day
Judgement day, hey

I can see through pouring rain
Changing fortunes on their way
From the cradle to their grave
That's what life's about
Stumbling in, fading out

Circle of the Oath
Circle of the Oath

I can see through pouring rain
Changing fortunes on their way
From the cradle to their grave
That's what life's about
Stumbling in, fading out

Circle of the Oath
Circle of the Oath

Circle of the Oath
Circle of the Oath

06. Fortunes Of War

In a scary night we left all behind
Soldiers are following blind
Politics, religion, the truth we'll never find
Revenge is coming to our mind

Longing for fame and for glory
But hoping for peace on earth
Earth

Running and hiding and ready to fight
Scenes that we'd been through before
Losing and riding all day and all night
We follow the Fortunes of War
Fortunes of War

Wounded or fallen, much to our regret
Slaves of the Empire we are
Praying 'till the morning, for some it is too late
The victory seems to be far

Longing for fame and for glory
But hoping for peace on earth
Earth

Running and hiding and ready to fight
Scenes that we'd been through before
Losing and riding all day and all night
We follow the Fortunes of War
Fortunes of War

Longing for fame and for glory
But hoping for peace on earth
On earth

Running and hiding and ready to fight
Scenes that we'd been through before
Losing and riding all day and all night
We follow the Fortunes of War

Running and hiding and ready to fight
Scenes that we'd been through before
Losing and riding all day and all night
We follow the Fortunes of War

Fortunes of War
Fortunes of War
Fortunes of War
Yeah

07. Bridges To Nowhere

Walking around all the day, we're on our way
Heard a misleading spell, from heaven or from hell

Oh, I'm losing my mind
Oh, not sure what I'll find
Hoping for peace of mind

We're searching for our destiny
We're on the Bridges to Nowhere
We're the masters of insanity
On the Bridges to Nowhere

Silent cries in the darkness are left unheard
The signs on the walls, all forgotten words

Oh, I'm losing my mind
Oh, not sure what I'll find
Hoping for peace of mind

We're searching for our destiny
We're on the Bridges to Nowhere
We're the masters of insanity
On the Bridges to Nowhere

Oh, I'm losing my mind
Oh, not sure what I'll find
Hoping for peace of mind

We're searching for our destiny
We're on the Bridges to Nowhere
We're the masters of insanity
On the Bridges to Nowhere

We're searching for our destiny
We're on the Bridges to Nowhere
We're the masters of insanity
On the Bridges to Nowhere
On the Bridges to Nowhere
Oh, Bridges to Nowhere

08. Lived Our Lives Before

A long time ago there lived a man
He was searching for an answer
He had seen it all, faces in the mirror
Alone in that room made him shiver

Burning candles, seeing shadows in the night
Bringing back memories in mystical light
Holy spirit in an unholy night
Enlightenments never felt so right

We don't know
If we Lived our Lives Before
Is it a dream or just a fantasy
We don't know
If we Lived our Lives Before
Is it a dream or just a fantasy
Fantasy

On his journey learning all about life
He was dreaming of the past
Praying day and night, looking for a solution
But in the end there's only confusion

Burning candles, seeing shadows in the night
Bringing back memories in mystical light
Holy spirit in an unholy night
Enlightenments never felt so right

We don't know
If we Lived our Lives Before
Is it a dream or just a fantasy
We don't know
If we Lived our Lives Before
Is it a dream or just a fantasy
Fantasy

We don't know
If we Lived our Lives Before
Is it a dream or just a fantasy
We don't know
If we Lived our Lives Before
Is it a dream or just a fantasy

We don't know, oh
Is it a fantasy or just a dream, yeah
We Lived Our Lives Before

09. Hold On To Your Dreams

I heard you calling
I heard you calling out my name
I heard you screaming, yeah
All day to play your game

Your reputation
So bad to ruin your life
No resignation, words or anything
But it's all about time

Surprise in the morning, remember the night before
Many things we are learning, a therapy behind closed doors

Playing with fire, it's not so easy as it seems
Burning desire, but better Hold on to your Dreams
Our love is a liar, but there are always ways and means
Dancing on a wire, but better Hold on to your Dreams
Hold on to your Dreams
Oh yeah

You keep on moving
Living in a world of sin
You think you're grooving, yeah
But there's no chance to win

You got me yearning
Got me yearning for your love
But realizing what a fool I've been
Teared my heart apart

Surprise in the morning, remember the night before
Many things we are learning, a therapy behind closed doors

Playing with fire, it's not so easy as it seems
Burning desire, but better Hold on to your Dreams
Our love is a liar, but there are always ways and means
Dancing on a wire, but better Hold on to your Dreams

My heart's still burning
So is my soul
Sometimes I'm dying
Where it all would go
Yeah

Playing with fire, it's not so easy as it seems
Burning desire, but better Hold on to your Dreams
Our love is a liar, but there are always ways and means
Dancing on a wire, but better Hold on to your Dreams

Hold on to your Dreams
Hold on to your Dreams, yeah
Hold on to your Dreams
To your Dreams
Hold on to your Dreams
Hold on

10. World Of Confusion (The Masquerade Ball Part II)

I kept on crying on the stairway of doom
Saw all the lives fading, ending much too soon
Cries in the darkness from the wizard's chosen few
We're back on the ball, mysterious call

One night to remember, whole life full of sin
We never surrender, but ain't gonna win
We played with some voodoo, our souls turned to stone
If there's no one to fool you, you'll be left on your own

We never saw the wind with our eyes
We'll be leaving tomorrow, the room full of lies

In a World of Confusion, strangers in the night
Stick to your guns, the evil's never right
In a World of Confusion, eagles flying high
Touching the rainbow, hearing angels in the sky
In a World of Confusion

The bell's striking midnight, a crimson coloured sky
The weirdness is calling, is it time to die
Turn round the circle, at the edge of our time
Fools in the night in black covored light, trying to hide

We never saw the wind with our eyes
We'll be leaving tomorrow, the room full of lies

In a World of Confusion, strangers in the night
Stick to your guns, the evil's never right
In a World of Confusion, eagles flying high
Touching the rainbow, hearing angels in the sky
In a World of Confusion

I'll break the silence
And I'll break the rules
And I don't follow the guidance
And I don't wanna be your fool
Don't wanna be your fool

It's the Masquerade Ball, climb up to the stars
Through the winds of wonder, the evil's in despair

It's the Masquerade Ball, see the wizard fly
There is no tomorrow on the other side
It's the Masquerade Ball, climb up to the stars
Through the winds of wonder, evil's in despair

In a World of Confusion, strangers in the night
Stick to your guns, the evil's never right
In a World of Confusion, eagles flying high
Touching the rainbow, hearing angels in the sky

In a World of Confusion
We will leave tomorrow, in the room full of lies
Of Confusion
There is no tomorrow, in the room full of lie
