Lost in the dark millenniums ago
Where is the place - where's the place called home? On fire they rode to flee from the fall Their future was doomed - they've foreseen it all Mythical world of the ancient empire Secret and hidden but some day we shall return Ancient calls from somewhere in time We have to follow the sign Distant voices - sources unknown Where to they lead us... Where will we go? On the scent for the lost... Coming home! Chasing a shadow in stardust and haze Where will we find traces of our race The engines are roaring, we're leaving ground once more Is it for real - will we fail like so often before? Ancient calls from somewhere in time..... Mythical world of the ancient empire Is it for real - will we fail like so often before? Ancient calls from somewhere in time..... Star of the old... Guide us... Give us hope... Star of the old... Guide us... Give us hope... Star of the old... Guide us... Give us hope... Star of the old... Guide us... Give us hope..... |

[Lead and backing vocals by Piet] [Choir vocals by Jan and Piet] Bound to the stars, bound to a land Unspoiled and virgin This journey has to end Out in the cold, lonely we feel Outcast and homeless In coffins made of steel Far beyond - so far beyond a strange horizon History - the past is lost but we will live on Still on the quest Forever we're riding No place to rest In deep space we're gliding Starborn children - their destiny Starborn out in the cold - their sanctuary Faster than light we cruise the unknown Into the dark we've been thrown Starborn and lost in the cold Where can we go, where will we find shelter and silence from all we've left behind So many times we thought we had it all But we had to follow the stars and their call Memories - of all we've left will fade away Atlantis will - be lost in war and will decay Goddess of fate Forever we're riding Light up the shade In deep space we're gliding Starborn children - their destiny Starborn out in the cold - their sanctuary Faster than light we cruise the unknown Into the dark we've been thrown Starborn and lost in the... - Solo Piet - Goddess of fate Forever we're riding Light up the shade In deep space we're gliding Starborn children - their destiny Starborn out in the cold - their sanctuary Faster than light we cruise the unknown Into the dark we've been thrown Starborn and lost in the cold Out in the cold |

[Lead and backing vocals by Kai and Piet] [Choir vocals by Piet] [Kai:] Welcome back home, it's been so long, we've missed you Been searching for honor and glory Out in the dark I have fought for survival as thunder and gunfire were roaring Back home, the time and the place of my own My future is calling I know I do believe there is no other place I can go I must return from my deadly sleep The only chance I've been given - my destiny Take me home, take me home Black as a hole is the soil I was walking As black as the troops were before me Relentless attack as my eyes started bleeding, and razed to the ground by the soaring... It's time - you better be leading me home Our future is calling I know I am the answer to all the remaining unknown I must return from my deadly sleep The only choice I've been given - my destiny Take me home - Solo Kai - [Piet:] Roaring, embracing the thunder Twisting and turning around Locked in, I will not go under Save me before I will drown - Solo Kai - I must return from my deadly sleep I must return from my deadly sleep The only chance I've been given - my destiny Take me home - take me home Take me home - take me home Yeah, take me home - take me home Oh, let me go - let me go Back to my home (back to my home, back to the people I know) Out in the dark, but where can I go - I don't know (where will I go, I don't know) Come and take me home |

Under the ice
we hide from your stare Buried in grief and despair We're the debris, the scattered remains Leaves in the storm who is lashing the world Destiny calls Extinction of man - will it all happen again? But yet we're alive Unbroken we stand Banish the conquerer who's taken the land We'll be a thorn in your unhuman flesh There'll be a time for retorsion We'll break the fetters, we'll never give in Although it seems our end will begin Forces united - forces arise Legions of iron - descend from the skies Dark knight - you'll never defeat the immortal spirit of freedom Savior - watch out beware We will engage the forces of rage Starbirds are gliding on winds of decay Merciless hunting the prey... Infernal machine - the hatchet of war Sharp as a razor will cut back the claws We'll be the virus - a deadly disease Fever is burning inside you To bring you to fall is the ultimate aim We'll rise from the ashes again and again Forces united - forces arise Legions of iron - descend from the skies Dark knight - you'll never defeat the immortal spirit of freedom Savior - watch out beware We will engage... Free... at least for a moment in time Years... how many years have gone by? In fury and wharf we're looking above Forging the sword, the blade of reprisal Leaders of men, let's ride out again From fire and ice - a blazing star will arise! We'll be a thorn in your unhuman flesh There'll be a time for retorsion We'll break the fetters, we'll never give in Although it seems our end will begin Forces united - forces arise Legions of iron - descend from the skies Dark knight - you'll never defeat the immortal spirit of freedom Savior - watch out beware We will engage the forces of rage |

[Music and lyrics by P. Sielck]
[Narrator's voice by Jason Breitwege] It is the year 2110. The world is threatened by war once again. The unknown vessel sent out armed forces - appear to be machines to invade Earth. The air, and almost the entire surface, is now under their control. Research on the origin of the ship indicates that it might be related to the lost continent of Atlantis. So the answers are given in the past, somewhere in the infinity of space and time. |

Devastation - radiation - paralyzing fear
Terrorizing demons rising - termination's here Stratospheric - energetic- drifting on the stream Agonizing isolation inside the machine Reborn in chaos and war What has it all been good for? Reach out and take my hand The children must live - the killing must end Brother - you must awake Brother - before it's too late Here we stand Like shadows of great things in the past Hear my call, oh brother Let's right the wrongs at last Lifeless bloodhound - executor of our fatal law Blinded by your wrong conclusion - truth you see no more Now the defender attacks the land he's been supposed to protect This is our legacy Together we're facing our destiny Brother - you must awake..... Reach out and take my hand The children must live - the killing must end This is our legacy Together we're facing our destiny Brother - you must awake..... We are brothers of the past Oh, let's right... the wrongs at last |

(Music and lyrics by P. Sielck)
(Lead and backing vocals by Piet, choir vocals by Jan and Piet) Into the night - moonless, cold and black Hell is waiting, there is no turning back Suddenly the air was on fire Your buddy never had a chance His blood on your hands - you'll never forget his cold and lifeless glance Times of war are times of death and now the killing is on Now the killing is on Mortal fear is creeping in your mind and soul tonight Nowhere to hide Eye to eye - facing the enemy Brave at heart - fighting for Liberty Heroes or fools Out in the fields bitterness rules Eye to eye - facing a deadly thread Don't look back - look straight ahead with the will to survive Just keep up the faith and victory is on your side You closed his eyes Forever he'll rest Another victim, another life The hawks are hunting and you are the prey So keep yourself alive Flames of fury like the purgatory burnin' high - burning the sky Eye to eye - facing the enemy Brave at heart - fighting for Liberty Heroes or fools Out in the fields bitterness rules Eye to eye - facing a deadly thread Don't look back - look straight ahead with the will to survive Just keep up the faith and victory is on your side - Solo 1: Kai - Unlimited rage - rage is driving you mad Unlimited fury - fury twisting in your head Can't stand the pain - pain it's driving you insane You scream for vengeance - vengeance but who's to blame... Aimless - like a drifter on the sea Caught up in reality of war Restless - always on the run Hopes and dreams, they're gone Take me away... - Solo 2: Piet - Eye to eye - facing the enemy Brave at heart - fighting for Liberty Heroes or fools Out in the fields bitterness rules Eye to eye - facing a deadly thread Don't look back - look straight ahead with the will to survive Just keep up the faith... (eye to eye) Facing the enemy (face to face) Heroes or fools (back to back) Out in the fields the bitterness rules (eye to eye) Look straight ahead (face to face) will to survive (don't look back) Just keep up the faith and victory is on your side... On your side... At last... |

(Music and lyrics by P. Sielck)
(All vocals by Piet) Am I alive - do I exist? Am I the godness of justice? A body of metal - a mind made of circuits Although I think I'm conscious... What is my species - where is my soul? Or am I dead as a rock... Is this my spirit, or just a program written on memory blocks? What is my aim... I am what can't be, a mind in a digital brain It is the mind - mind over matter The power has brought me to life In lakes of doubts and oceans of my questions I had to dive Give me guidance - in torrents of time Give me answers - creators of mine from the past Mind over matter at last... So much to learn, so much to see So many things to explore Too little I know - am I a being, or just a failure at all? Please heal my pain The silence of ungiven answers will drive me insane It is the mind - mind over matter..... (conscious or dead, beginning or end) A mind of circuits - heal the pain (a mind of circuits, heal the pain) (going insane) Lakes of doubts... (torrents of time, oceans of questions) Creators of mine (answers I need, guidance I want) Conscious or dead - beginning or end - Solo Piet - It is the mind - mind over matter The power has brought me to life In lakes of doubts and oceans of my questions I had to dive Give me guidance - in torrents of time Give me answers - creators of mine from the past Mind over matter... Something has happened It is the mind ruling the matter The power has brought me to life Give me guidance - torrents of time Give me answers - creators of mine Mind over matter at last... At last |

[Music and lyrics by P. Sielck]
[All vocals by Piet] Have I returned from the dead? A lightning was striking my head Clarity's filling my mind I am refined! Unlock the gates to reality Leaving the maze to be free Tangled in a realm of fantasy and dreams Blinded by delusion and pain I must escape - break the chain Countless years of existence in the cold Now I'm at the mercy of the one I've once controlled From far beyond the ending of all time I saw the light saving me from the night Eternal slave - your master has returned Obey and release me The prisoner of the void Uhh, I've been traveling the darkest dimension A disembodied soul in damnation But then I found sanctuary... Peaceful rest in my own entity Now I realize we have reached the final shore Oh, I can't allow him to destroy it anymore From far beyond..... Demons of time I have felt your embrace Out in the vastness now I know your face Oh, I gave in to the power of thought Now I must use it to leave my Sepulchral vault - Solo: Piet... both... Kai - From far beyond the ending of all time I saw the light saving me from the night Eternal slave Your master has returned Hear my command From far beyond... I have been seeing the light Eternal gods... Hear my entreaty, and free me Release me from the void |

[Lead and backing vocals by Piet] [Choir vocals by Jan and Piet] Reflections of light paint the horizon Silver and weak he is glowing Beauty arises in front of my eyes Where are we going? My heart wants to weep The word is goodbye Will I return? Oh, will I see it again Will I live - will I die? The land has been bleeding in war Nothing will be like it has been before A moment in silence in the dawn Facing the upcoming storm So let the battle - let the battle begin Armies are marching against us tonight In unity we stand to fight A shiver is sent down my spine as we await the final attack Wings launch, weapons load Cold sweat runs down the back of my neck We'll break through the gate The sky we'll invade The tyrant will burn and the world it will turn Tonight is the night Darkness or Light Freedom will be our guide So let the battle - let the battle begin The blade of reprisal is ready to strike In unity we stand to fight To fight - Solo 1 & 2: Piet / Solo 3: Kai - So let the battle - let the battle begin Armies are marching against us tonight In unity we stand to fight So let the battle - let the battle begin The blade of reprisal is ready to strike In unity we stand to fight - Solo 4: Uwe Lulis - |

[All vocals by Piet] [Original version to be found on the "Heaven and Hell" album] Oh no, here it comes again Can't remember when we came so close to love before Hold on, good things never last Nothing's in the past, it always seems to come again Again and again, again and again Again... Cry out to legions of the brave Time again to save us from the jackals of the street Ride out, protectors of the realm Captain's at the helm Sail across the sea of light Circles and rings, dragons and kings Weaving a charm and a spell Blessed by the night, holy and bright Called by the toll of the bell Bloodied angels fast descending Moving on a never-bending light Phantom figures free forever Out of shadows, shining ever-bright Neon knights Neon knights All right - Solo Kai - Cry out to legions of the brave Time again to save us from the jackals of the street Ride out, protectors of the realm Captain's at the helm Sail across the sea of light Again and again, again and again Again Neon knights Neon knights Neon knights Ohh~~ ohh~~ Neon knights - Solo Piet - |
