Iron Savior

Down below the city
Where the light is cold and dim
Creatures without name
Are paying for the sin
Not dead nor alive
In a dark and toxic reign
Infected by the virus
We failed to reach the aim

Damned to walk the night
Access to the world above denied
Lost without a cure
But as long as we are standing
I'll endure

On that very day
God has turned away
Even though I pray
Hear my words

Heal me
Heal my scars
I'm longing for peace
Heal me
Heal my pain
Let me walk the daylight again

We challenged the creation
In the hope to reveal
The secrets of the maker
When the ancient broke the seal
Immortal we are suffering
For opening the locks
To see what is concealed
Inside Pandora's box

Locked up in the night
With access to the light above denied
Can't you hear my cry
When you sleep or die
Longing for salvation
Set us free

Heal me
Heal my scars
I'm longing for peace
Heal me
Heal my pain
And let me walk the daylight again

On that very day
God has turned away
Even though I pray
Hear my words

Heal me
Heal my scars
I'm longing for peace
Heal me
Heal my pain
And let me walk the daylight again
Heal me
Heal my pain
And let me walk the daylight again

You are the true defender
Bristling with guns
Chosen by the gods
To save the land
Become a mighty wizard
With powers beyond belief
The ultimate adventure
At hand

Pull out the shotgun
Upraise the sword
Pick up the blasters
Once you're restored

Load your game and
Slip into another life
Chose your weapons

Cyber hero

Gird yourself for the battle
Get on your mighty steed

Repel the demons
And hit "Control"

And play again

And by your cyber hand
You put it to an end

At your command
You bring deliverance to the land
The spawn of hell
Screams in rage
'Cause you're about
To win the final stage

Load your game and
Slip into another life
Chose your weapons
And survive
Step across the borders
Into different orders
Save your game
And play again
Cyber hero

Save the world
Cyber Hero
Cyber Hero
Save your game

When the light of the day is fading
And dusk is drawing near
Seductively unsearchable
She appears
Her deep blue eyes of a cyborg
Scanning potential punters
A smile makes them believe
That they are the hunters
With perfect looks
She sells her goods

For money they will get
Her fantasies
Her lust and dreams
She'll bring them down
Down on their knees

Cybernetic queen of passion
A guarantee of satisfaction
And while she burns in fire
Melting down in sweet desire
Her heart is cold, so cold

So many men did fall
So little she cares
And even though
They've been burnt before
They're coming back for more
With perfect skills
She lulls their wills

And then she gives them
All their fantasies
Their lust and dreams
She brings them down
Down to their knees

Cybernetic queen of passion
Is guaranteeing satisfaction
And while she burns in fire
Melting down in sweet desire
Her heart stays cold



Cybernetic queen of passion
Is guaranteeing satisfaction
And while she burns in fire
Melting down in sweet desire
Cybernetic queen of passion
A guarantee in satisfaction
Her heart is cold

I am immortal
I am perpetual
I am unbreakable
I'm bringing fire
That swallow up worlds

I'm annihilation
I'm a protector
I am a savior
A keeper of wisdom and knowledge
I can bring deliverance
I am salvation

Traveled the stars and even beyond
But all the places that I saw
Weren't holding what I'm searching for
Just some peace of mind

And how I wish to be
What I can never be
Forever I will be enchained
Chained to the entity
Of the machinery
Oh, have mercy on me
Set me free

Older than old
Never to age
A relict of ancient times
Deracinated - diluted
On the edge of insanity
I'm dominator
I am damnation

Existence is twisting my soul
I am ready to meet my fate
Give me salvation

None of my powers
Is holding the cure
'Cause after all I'm just a man
With a broken dream
Not man and not machine

And how I wish to be
What I can never be
Forever I will be enchained
Chained to the entity
Of the machinery
Oh, have mercy on me
Set me free

And how I wish to be
What I can never be
Forever I will be enchained
Chained to the entity
Of the machinery
Oh, have mercy on me
Set me free

I have to leave behind
The tortures in my mind
Farewell my children, goodbye
Forever I gonna fly
Like a star I'm in the sky
I'll be looking down on you

Farewell and goodbye
Farewell and goodbye
Farewell and goodbye
Farewell and goodbye

Evil is hiding in the shadows
Of the big, big city lights
A man-eating monster
Is crawling up your back
Getting ready to attack
Sick and perverted
A psycho's been unleashed
With a mind of delusion
He turned into the beast

And when the night is falling down
He's hunting in the streets

Flesh
He's a virtue with the knife
Flesh
He's eating you alive

Bloodstained he dwells on mortal sin
With a sick and morbid grin
He is the demon lurking in the dark
Enslaved by his obsession
He's ripping out your heart

And in the shelter of the dawn
He's pleasing his appetite

Flesh
He's a virtue with the knife
Flesh
He's eating you alive

Flesh
Flesh

And when the night is falling down
And in the shelter of the dawn
He's pleasing his appetite

Flesh
He's a virtue with the knife
Flesh
He's eating you alive

Flesh
Flesh
He's eating you alive
Flesh
Flesh
He's eating you alive

He's cutting you
He's slicing you
He's eating you alive

Right here, right now
I'm looking back
To the road that I've been traveling
That brought me here
I remember Heaven, I saw Hell
And now the hour for my return
Is drawing near
Endless is the moment
As if time is standing still
Fractions of a minute
Like a thousand years
Countless are the memories
Of all I used to know
I'm ready to go
Big city lights
Are painting the skies
My mind is set
I'm raising the eyes
And by all means
I'm coming home
To Megatropolis
Nowhere my restless heart could find
All I've ever longing for
Some peace of mind
Now I'm standing here where all began
Now the world has turned
And I became a different man
Nothing to regret
Boldly I was going to
Where no man's gone before
Used to be a thunderbird
At distant shores
Countless are the memories
Of my adventurous past
Now I am back
Back to stay at last
Big city lights
Are painting the skies
My mind is set
I'm raising the eyes
And by all means
I'm coming home
Now I keep on wondering
What the future holds for me
I'm meeting fate so easefully
Countless are the visions
Of my future road
But right now I'm here
And I'm help for good
Big city lights
Are painting the skies
My mind is set
I'm raising the eyes
And by all means
I'm coming home
To Megatropolis
Megatropolis
To Megatropolis
And by all means
I'm made it home
Megatropolis I have returned

I'm burning up
There's a fire in me
The creature is rising
It wants to break free
The city is waiting
It's calling my name
I'm ready to be in the game

Mr. Hyde
Rules the night
While poor little Jekyll
Stays home alone
The Devil is smiling
The Angel will loose
And all hell is about
To break loose

Like a volcano
I need to explode
I'm diving in
To lust and sin
To be a fool
To break the rules

I'm running riot (riot)
No one will stop me tonight
Riot (riot)
Until the morning light
Sworn to fun
Loyal to none
Except the devil
And my favorite gun

All my senses
In anticipation
Of a perfect performed
Devastation
Fever is rising
There's no compromising
The Beast is unleashed
There's no turning back

Duties and routine
Keep tying me down
Unlock the cage
To leave the maze
To be a fool
To break the rules

I'm running riot (riot)
No one will stop me tonight
Riot (riot)
Until the morning light
Sworn to fun
Loyal to none
Except the devil
And my favorite gun

I can't resist
My temptations no more
The overload
Must explode
I'll be a fool
Breaking the rules

I'm running riot (riot)
No one will stop me tonight
Riot (riot)
Until the morning light
Sworn to fun
Loyal to none
Except the devil
And my favorite gun

Am I surrounded by madness?
Or is it just me
Who cannot see
The greatness of man
Fighting and killing ourselves as best
As we can
Seems as we're breaking
For nothing at all
People must wake up
This is the final call
But still I believe
That tomorrow
Be a brighter day
We are dancing on the edge
Though we're still in time
For that train we need to catch
There's a hole in the skies
The land is bleeding
Doomed to die
Selfproclaimed saviors
Are slinging the gun
Give me a break
I cannot go on
But still I believe
That tomorrow
Be a brighter day
We are dancing on the edge
Though we're still in time
For that train we need to catch
But still I believe
That tomorrow
Be a brighter day
We are dancing on the edge
Though we're still in time
For that train we need to catch

The sun is up
A lonely man
Roams an empty city
Omnipresent death is all around

Riding on deserted streets
In bitter solitude
Silence all around
Without a human sound

The days passing by
In dullness and pain
His fatal creation
Is all that remains

He is the last man alive
The last man alive
Sentenced to survive
The last of his kind
He's seen Armageddon
Destroyer and redeemer
Beginning and end
He's the Omega Man

A new breed of insanity
Is lurking in the shadows
They are the rulers of the dark

Altered into something else
Not human anymore
Children of the plague
With bleeding marks

What bitter irony
Lies in his sin
He holds the key
To salvation within

He is the last man alive
The last man alive
Sentenced to survive
The last of his kind
He's seen Armageddon
Destroyer and redeemer
Beginning and end
He's the Omega Man

The last man alive
He's seen Armageddon
The last man alive
Sentenced to survive
Then came the day
When he had found the others
To pass on his salvation
To bring back life again
He has been destroyer
Now he is redeemer
He is the beginning and the end

He is the Omega Man

[Music and Lyrics by Sielck]

Riding on a tidal wave
of energy and sound
crashing through the barrier
the sonic bang will pound
and as the wind is blowing in
the mighty storm is setting in
rise - and lift me up to
where the thunder rolls

static in the air
charging everywhere
ready to ignite
to take a thunderride
we are hunting the eye of the storm
by a power deep within it we are drawn
taking a ride on the storm
let it push you to the limits to bang
like a battering ram

muscles all contorted
as the blood begins to boil
taken by titanic force
brought to native soil
and as the wind begins to howl
the storm is taking on control

rise - and lift you up to
where the thunder rules

with the wind in the rear
onto the stratosphere
the engine did ignite
to take a thunderride

we are hunting the eye of the storm

[solo by Piet]

rise - and lift me up to
where the thunder rolls

with the wind in the rear

we are hunting the eye of the storm

bang like a battering ram
to bang like a battering ram
unleashing the force of the storm
to bang like a battering ram

[Music and Lyrics by Sielck]

Another wasted night ahead
another wasted day
stuck in a dead end
with a monster in your head
feeding on your energy
taking over control
makes you obey
spilling poison to the soul
in dull submission
you won't track down its hide
it's the indifference
that made you blind

break the curse
time is running short
shorter than you think
break the curse

from very deep inside your mind
a voice is calling you
saying:
there's gotta be more to life than you know

shake off the routine from your mind
and leave the treadmill far behind

break the curse
...
break it up

[solo Piesel - Piet]

don't let the demon of conformity
destroy it all
what's still there waiting to be free

go kill the monster in your head
you gotta gotta gotta
burn down the treadmill
and move straight ahead

break the curse
...

stand up and raise your fist up high
and make two fingers pointing to the sky

(Music and Lyrics by Sielck)

Can you feel the power
do you feel the force
do you feel the energy
from a truly unique source
you don't need no leather
no spikes or jingling chains
all you need is the energy
and the fire in your veins
walls of sound
are shaking the ground
as thunder is roaring in the sky

I'm in a Heavy Metal powered world
that's my way to be
I got a Heavy Metal powered mind
I don't need conformity
no one tells me what to do
what to think or be
I'm a Heavy Metal powered man
right - that's what I am

right from the beginning
I knew which way to go
six strings in my hand
turned out to be
my destiny
driven by the beat
the power and the heat
I wanted to explode
just to reload

walls of sound
where shaking the ground
as thunder was roaring in the sky

Heavy Metal powered world
...

(solo Piesel - Piet)

creepers - liars
self proclaimed, faked messiahs
power seeking maniacs

hiding shadows in the black
they
have gone another way
leading them so far away
far away from all
what Metal is standing for

we're in a Heavy Metal powered world
that's our way to be
we've got a Heavy Metal powered mind
to hell with all conformity
no one tells us what to do
what to think or be
we're Heavy Metal powered men
right...

we're Metal powered
...

that's our way
this is our chosen way to be

(Music and Lyrics by Sielck)

Projected images
of what the world is like
trying to find the answer
in every single byte
what is reality
and is my spirit real
is it made of true emotions
or artificial feel
what is existence
and what defines to be
can there be life
in a programmed virtuality
I am a god
I am life - I am creation
I am a demon
I am death - I'm termination
I am perpetual, I'm everlasting
till the end of time
for all my wisdom cannot answer
all the questioning of mine

machine world
one million years of pain
down below under the desert
machine world
damnation to remain
in a cybernetic land
deep down below the desert sand
machine world
countless eyes are questing
for the mystery of life
gathering information
to be processed in my drive
I need to find the essence
reason why I'm here
therefore I'm not paying heed
I'm a killer spreading fear

ohh I'm love and I'm hate
I am a sinner
I'm a devil - I'm a saint
I am perpetual, I'm damned
for all eternity to be
and all the knowledge
and the wisdom
it cannot make me see
the meaning of reality

machine world
one million years of pain
...

(solo)
(Piet - Piesel - Piet - Piesel)

projected images...
what is reality...

I am a god
I am life - I am creation
I am a demon
I am death - I'm termination
I am perpetual, I'm damned
for all eternity to be
forever I'll be
and all the knowledge and the wisdom
it cannot make me see
the meaning of reality

machine world
one million years of pain
down below under the desert
machine world
damnation to remain
in a cybernetic land

machine world
heart of the machine
machine world
machine world
I'm in a cybernetic dream
machine world
damned forever

(Music and Lyrics by Sielck)

Sometimes I dream
of a place to forget
where I would find some peace of mind
but the world just ain't like that
holy wars - armies are marching
terror is lashing the land
an eye for an eye - blood for blood
death in the name of god
sometimes I wish myself just far away
to spread out my wings and fly away
here in my mind
I can leave it all behind

to ride on the wind
like an eagle in the skies
high above the land and sea
I'm riding free
higher and higher
ascending to the skies
where no one takes my liberty
I'm riding free - I'm riding free

Memories
forever they?re gonna last
shook my heart to the very ground
as the walls came tumbling down
almighty towers are grinded to dust
a graveyard of rubble remains
I saw them crying - I saw them dying
as they've been burned in the flames

sometimes I wish myself just far away
to spread out my wings and fly away
onto a land
where my fate is in my hand

I'm riding the wind
like an eagle in the skies
...

escalating violence
in circles of brutality
suicide assassins
but there ain't no victory
fanatic believers - religious deceivers
the holy land is soiled with blood
attack - revenge - hi-tech war
in the name of god

(solo Piet)

open up your eyes
and look up to the skies
spread your wings and fly away
just for a while
forget about your sorrow
there'll always be tomorrow
let the wind take you far away

ride on the wind
like an eagle in the skies
...

riding free

[Music by Kustner, Lyrics by Sielck]

In a forgotten land
where evil is enthroned
the forces gathering
to retake what they have owned
10.000 men are standing side by side
10.000 knights are getting ready to fight

stand against the king
rebellion will begin
strike him down
burn the crown
blood is on his hands
justice to the land
no more lies
rebellion will arise

under the reign of fright
too many nights of blood and tears
the streets are rising up
know the time to strike is near
coming near

10.000 warriors are riding out
10.000 blades remove all traces of doubt

stand against the king
...

stand against the king
bring him down
smash the crown
rebellion will arise

bloodshed and atrocities
are lashing on the land
the word's been spread concealed
but know it's been revealed
the fate of the king is sealed
with a mighty crash of thunder
the opponents will collide
the blood toll will be high
but still it's worth to die
for freedom is what they defy

[solo by Piesel]

10.000 men are standing
side by side
...

stand against the king
...

[Music by Kustner/Sielck, Lyrics by Sielck]

Up in the skies
the stars are shining bright
on what is called the human kind
in silent majesty
they're watching from up there
this overbearing planet's vanity fair
voices in the distance
keep on whispering to me
now I have to follow
to set my spirit free

starchaser - skies are open wide
starchaser - calling me from deep inside
starchaser - I have crossed the line
starchaser - I'm diving into space and time
to be free

for all so long
I've been in search to find
my destiny, some peace of mind
it seems like everything
I did just wasn't right
life seemed to be a futile fight

it's almost been too late
to understand, to turn around
but here I am
I have been leaving ground

starchaser - skies are open wide
...

[solo Piesel]

till the end of time
the universe is mine
my fate lies in my hand
and if even though
the world will never now
my fate lies in my very hand
for now and for all times

starchaser - skies are open wide
starchaser - calling me from deep inside
starchaser - the universe is mine
starchaser - I'm diving into space and time
to be free

[Music and Lyrics by Sielck]

Wind is howling through dusty canyons
a burning sun in a dying land
scorching heat in the plains of death
where blazing fire was taking a breath
here I stand in the desert sand
looking at what once has been
but all I see is wasted world
nothing's outlasted our sins
once we've been ruling
in valleys of green
now we are chained
in a realm of the machines

time - only time will tell
if there'll be heaven or hell
time - only time will tell
if there'll be heaven or hell
trails of destruction are marking the truth
testify to insanity
we challenged creation
the arrogance died
atomic thunder was burning the sky

seems as we're lost in the twilight of decay
unbent we'll break the chains
to rise again some day

time - only time will tell
if there'll be heaven or hell

the machinery is marching
as their powers are enlarging
built with precision and perfection
to serve a perfect world, to give protection
command turned into slavery
this is the bitter irony of history
but we will fight

[solo Piet]

time - only time will tell
if there'll be heaven or hell
...

[Music by Kustner/Sielck, Lyrics by Sielck]

Far beyond our boundary
A danger has emerged
Far out in the black
It's getting ready to attack
Cold and tearless retinas
Are staring at the world
Raiders from an ancient land
Where life came to an end
Worlds are colliding
But onwards we're riding
To get to the core
The center of all
The iron fist will make the tyrants fall

To strike them down...
To strike them down...

Mighty savior - giant made of steel
Let your hammer pound
On the evil we'll reveal
Robot raiders - tyranny of steel
Let your hammer pound
Defending our very ground

Power shielded, cybernetic,
Circuits driven force
Unrelenting war machines
Showing no remorse
Forged by insanity
In ancient history
Creations of hate
Made to terminate

No way of hiding
So therefore we're riding
To get to the core
...
To strike them down
To smash their crown

Mighty savior - giant made of steel
...
Defending our ground

[lead Piesel and Piet]

Titans colliding
But onwards we're riding
Beyond the abyss
The center of all
The iron fist will make the tyrants fall

To strike them down
To smash them down

Mighty savior - giant made of steel
...

Under the banner
Of freedom we're riding
Worlds are colliding
Beyond the abyss

(Music and Lyrics by Sielck)

Far beyond the horizon
far beyond the setting sun
I am carving a way
through barren land
holding on to my memories
they are keeping me alive
making me strong
they're making me stand
hot, dusty canyons
I have been through
My heart is burning for ya
ohh it's bleeding for you

wings of deliverance
bring me home
wings of deliverance
carry me home

and whenever I'm closing my eyes
it is you that I have on my mind
echoes of what I had to leave behind

10.000 miles of torture
10.000 miles of pain
but nothing, nothing is keeping me from ya
I'm coming back to you again

wings of deliverance
...

held in captivity
in a cold, damp prison cell
locked up in a cage
I have been given hell
but never to be broken
I always did resist
and then I took my chances
to vanish in the mist

(solo)
(Martin - Piet - Martin - Piesel - Piet)

wings of deliverance
bring me home
wings of deliverance
carry me home

Something evil
something malicious
is burning up the ancient's world
may our brothers stay alive
and may freedom survive

We're riding on our wings
to the sky
galactical war
just one heartbeat away
screaming out the battlecry

There is a force, a power within
within the immortal soul
bright as the sun
stronger than all
the power is in control
until the end we will defend
our brothers and their very land
moving straight ahead

Calls of distress
brothers, count on us
we're standing back to back
do not surrender, do not give in

A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for is to unlock the door
While those around him criticize and sleep
And through a fractal on a breaking wall
I see you my friend and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we trip ooh oh oh
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless we are a little crazy
Yellow people walking through my head
One of them's got a gun to shoot the other one
And yet together they were friends at school oh get it get it no
If all were there when we first took the pill
Then maybe then maybe then maybe then
Miracles will happen as we speak
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless we are a little crazy
In a sky full of people only some want to fly isn't that crazy
In a world full of people only some want to fly isn't that crazy
In a heaven full of people there's only some want to fly ain't that crazy
In a world full of people there's only some want to fly
Ain't that crazy ain't that crazy
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless we are a little
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless we are a little just a little crazy
And then you see things the size of which you've never known before
They'll break it someday only child know
Them things the size of which you've never known before
Someday someway someday someway

leaving just wasteland behind

Savior, giant of steel

The Knights of Atlantis

Ironbound

He used to walk among your midst
a law-obeiding scientist
It came alive in the blackest night
took him away to the dark side
He is a shadow, a creepy ghost
He crawls inside your innermost
It's been the gift that made him see
made him a god of depravity
He doesn't care about right or wrong
it is the talent that makes him strong
He is superior, he's supernatural
and now he's here to get you
And then the night is falling
sepulchral the demon is calling
he's calling on you

Under my control
I am the Mindfeeder
under my control
this is the Mindfeeder

Your spirit's chained in the deepest pit
he is the master - you're the puppet
And like a tool you'll be utilized
be abused or sacrificed
he's telepathic, ruling your will

on his command you'll die and kill
you cannot run, you cannot hide
'cause he's inside of your mind

Under the reign of terror
you will be chained forever
forevermore

Under my control
....
this is the Mindfeeder

And then the night is falling
....

Under my control
....
this is the Mindfeeder

Under my control

Hear the stories - of the old
of right and wrong - of bad and good
of bravery - courageous knights
and victory
Men of honor - in brotherhood
true and loyal - sworn in blood
ancient tales - of truth and lies
and sacrifice

Keep up the spirit
let it shine inside the heart
and may their glory deeds
enlight us in the dark
We ain't the heroes
we're just true and simple men
men of honor and pride
We ain't the heroes
oh, we ain't no splendid knights
but for their sake we will ride

Their memory - throughout the ages
makes us strong - when the battle rages
sentinal - this legacy
make it perpetual

But we know better

We ain't the heroes

We ain't the heroes

No heroes
we ain't no heroes

No heroes

A pale moon is rising
in silverless grey
it shines on the world
enlightining the decay
A dead eye that stares at the night
tainting the skies in unholy light
The towers of strength
the heart of it all
broke into debris
Atlantis will fall
And I wonder why
but the world will die in fire and ice
A million lifes
murdered by treason and lies
Ooh take me away

far beyond the stars
far beyond the skies
there must be a land
we're calling paradise
Far, far away
far beyond the skies

we shall be questing out
the land we're calling paradise
it's calling you, it's calling me
oh, let it shine
until the end of all time

Damned to survive
bearing the pain
to keep man alive
preserving the remains
And I wonder why
but the world will die
nothing will remain
I'm a bleeding heart
in the falling dark
I will never be the same
ooh take me away

far beyond the stars
....
until the end of all time

oh, let it shine
until the end of all time

And by the ancient gods
I'm swearing my revenge
and from beyond the grave
we shall avenge
your head will roll - you gonna bleed
for killing us - betraying us
traitor beware
we gonna get you anywhere

far beyond the stars
....
until the end of all time

take me far beyond the skies
take me away
take me far beyond the skies
take me to Paradise

I came from far beyond the time
this is my manor
I'm reaching for the crown
and now it shall be mine
this is my realm
from far beyond the time

Out in the vast
I've been waiting for revenge
try to defeat me
I will break through your defense

Protector
will get inside your mind
I will enlight you
free you from the blind
Protector
will terminate the pain
I will enlight your
sick and wicked brains

I am your Protector

This is my requiem of revenge
This is my rancour
I creep inside your mind
into your very soul
I have the power
I am in control

Outcast in the void
now I'm stronger than before
landed to retake the crown
your conquerer comes ashore

Protector
....

I creep inside
your very mind
into your soul I'm in control

Protector
....

I will get inside your mind
I will free you from the blind
I will teminate the pain
enlight your wicked brains

Rays of the sun
painting the heavens in gold
the killing is over
the knights are heading back
from the cold
A tribute to all those courages men
standing until the end
fighting for freedom
giving their lives for the land

They fought, they killed, they died
defending our liberty
and now they have returned
in glorious victory

Tears for the damned
freedom for the land
a thousand years
they will be told
Tales of the bold
the beast died in fire
justice to the liar
a prayer for those who gave their lives
they will be memorized

They fought so hard they fought so well
saving us all from the spell
a thousand years
their deeds will be told
these are the tales of the bold

A moment in silence
a moment for the brave
for those who never made it back
for those who found their graves
Never forgotten they stay on our mind
keeping the memory alive
their final rest
may it be blessed
by the gods

Until the end of time
for all eternity
they're riding with the gods
in unity

Tears for the damned
....
these are the tales of the bold

Tales of the bold
riding with the gods
in eternity
in unity
for liberty
for victory

Tears for the damned
....
these are the tales of the bold
a thousand years
their deeds will be told
these are the tales of the bold!

I hold the key to ultimate dream
the perfect construction
a perfect machine
I've designed
stronger than strong
an invincible force
I'm the creator, I am the source
I'm the mind

I shall be one
one with the world
one with the sun
Up in the skies
I'll be encountering paradies

Savior machine
creation of mine
we shall be unified, we'll be
Titans of our time
We shall observe
protect and preserve
we shall be unified, we'll be
Titans of our time
you'll be mine

Devoted to science
a seeker I am
now I will bring freedome and justice
to man
Up in the sky
I will be free
my spirit will fly
and by my hand
war shall be brought to an end

Savior machine
....

I'm leaving the body
I'm crossing the line
to be an immortal
I will be devine

Savior machine
creation of mine
we shall be unified, we'll be
Titans of our time
We shall observe
protect and serve
we shall be unified, we'll be
Titans of our time
you'll be mine

Forged by the fire
that's burning in my heart
Savior, my destiny
I'm ready to depart
Make me the one
and set my spirit free
make me fulfill the dream
in eternity

You're looking battered
oh, you shure ain't looking well
we managed to survive
to escape this living hell
I must agree our situation
ain't too cool
but anyway, we'll make it back
that is the rule

burning amber, blazing heat
this ain't the time to die
so get up on your feet
we stood the firestorm
we stood the attack
I'm gonna take you home
I swear I'll bring you back

carry on
don't loose the energy
don't let it fade away
listen to me

This is a bad
bad day for dying
it's a bad
bad day for dying
we'll break through
the walls of fire

So let's get on with it
let's play their little game
They are the hunters
we are the pray
They're seeking - we're hiding
they're tracking down our trace
but in the end we gonna win
this deadly race

stay alive
don't drown in mortal fear
together we will make it
don't leave me now
I need you here

This is a bad day for dying

In ancient times
tomorrow and today
there always be the men
who choose the battle's way
Masters of the sword
living for the fight
until the end of time
for liberty they'll ride
It's in the blood
it's in the heart
deep inside everyone of us
from the very start

Look at yourself
and feel the energy
close your eyes
and you will see
the lion who's inside of you

Warrior sworn to the blade
this is your to live
this is your fate
Warrior faithful and true
the battle roars
it's calling on you

It's not the sword
that makes a warrior true
if you think your muscles do
you don't have a clou
It's a matter of integrity
trust and loyalty
It's to know about wrong or right
that makes you a knight

You may become
one with the energy
open your eyes
and you will see
the dragon who's inside of you

Warrior sworn to the blade
....

There may be times
when fear is in your heart
there may be sadness
ripping you apart
Don't give the hatred
entrance to the soul
don't let the darkness
get in control

It's in the blood
it's in the heart
deep inside everyone of us
from the very start

You have become
one with the energy
and now your eyes
ooh, they can see
how much there is inside of you

Warrior sworn to the blade
....

Warrior sworn to the blade
this is your to live
this is your fate

Warrior sworn to the blade!

[Music by Eckert/Sielck u Words by Eckert/Sielck]

[The war is over and the warrior returns to where he belongs...]

[Jan:]
I saw the shadow decline
In another world, another time
Reflecting battles full of fear
So far away from home
Death has been near

[Piet:]
I fought for liberty and faith
For survival of our race
The toll of blood it has been high
The dead will never see again
The sun up in the sky

[Both:]
I will return
Return to where I belong
Where I belong
I will be
Be with you after this war
After this war

[Jan:]
What I saw beyond the gate
Eternal darkness - our fate
In everlasting night
Deserted and destroyed
An empire without light

[Piet:]
The flame of hope kept me alive
The iron will survive
I did the things I had to do
And in my very soul
I've always been with you

[Both:]
I will return...

I had to leave it all behind
On my way to the other side
What to find ?

I had to go
Into the unknown
Through all my fear
You have been here
Here in my heart

[Solo Piet]

I will return...
Ohh, after the war

(Words & Music by Sielck)

(The Dark Empire has been defeated. The home world of Shadow is burning in nuclear fire and it is only a question of time for the gate to collapse. Will the crew get back to the gate in time... or will they remain in this dying universe of the Black?)

Thrown into a world
Where night is ruling day
Where nothing will remain
Existence will decay

The hope of despair
Deep inside our heart
Brought us to the lair
The center of the Dark

Strange and unknown hemisphere
A mission to fulfill
Evil will await us there
We're prepared to kill

Deep inside the emptiness
What to come, to find
Right into the black abyss
Leaving all behind

The stars are black beyond the gate
A wasteland
We must destroy it
For man's sake

Once in a while
I fade into a dream
Skies of blue
And meadows of green

Lost in the void
Vanished from our entity
Lost in the void
Cursed to remain in infinity

Out into unknown
A road of no return
To find the Shadow's throne
The Dark ones have to burn

Bold and brave we made our way
In eternal night
We won't let us led astray
We shall return to the light

The stars are black beyond the gate...

Once in a while...

Lost in the void...

(Solo Kai/Piet)

Strange and unknown hemisphere
Our mission is fulfilled
Evil has been waiting there
Ohh, and we have killed
Deep inside the emptiness
The gate we had to find
Out of the black abyss
Leaving all behind

Back from the void
Back into our entity
Back from the void
Shadow remain in infinity

Leaving all behind
Back into the light

(Music & Lyrics by Downing/Halford/Tipton; published by Grew Glenn Music/Geargate Music/Ebony Tree Music)

[Words & Music by Sielck]

During the savior war the sleeper from ancient Atlantis was leading the battle - today he cannot cope with the new world. Isolated and lonely he fades away day by day. But the thread of the Shadow brings him back to life. Once again he shall lead the battle... so the Dragon is rising.]

When I look at tomorrow
Who will I be
What will I find
Seems I'm drowning in sorrow
Everything changes
My life's redefined

When I look at tomorrow
Where will I go
What will I see
Seems I'm stuck in this hollow
Stuck in this heep, this heep of debries

Ohh, there's a pain
Deep down inside of me
Ohh, I don't know
What is my destiny

I've been the Dragon and once I've been strong
Look at me what I've become
Now I see
A Dragon again I must be
I must regain what I've lost long ago
The fires inside me still glow
To the skies
The Dragon again will arise

When I look at tomorrow
I will find
My own peace of mind
I shall leave all my sorrow
The road to myself I will follow

I'm on my way
To meet my destiny
I shall overcome
The pain deep inside of me

I've been the Dragon...

[Solo Piet]

I killed the demons
They haunt me no more
I'm loaded and charged to the core
Unholy poison was
Depraiving my soul
Now I am back in control
Dragon arise!

[Solo Piet]

I'm on my way...

I've been the Dragon...

[Words & Music by Sielck]

[The Iron Savior has returned to Earth and it seems that the fable will turn.]

Travelling the stars out in the cold
Out on the quest for the old
You had to leave
So don't come to grief

You couldn't see what is right or wrong
Atlantis seemed to be gone
So you attacked
The ones to protect

Out of control
You've been pounding the world
Seems now the tables have turned

Eye of the world - of the world
Back to defend
Your ancient land
Eye of the world
Back from the past
Back to save us at last

Guarding or star, giving us hope
For man you will cope
Now you can see
Who is the enemy

From the abyss
It's the savior's return
Seems now the tables will turn

Eye of the world...
Solo Piet - Kai - Piet - Kai

Mighty machine
Set us free from the night
Be our guiding light
There is a star
Rising up in the sky
We hold your banner high

From the abyss...

Eye of the world...

Eye of the world
Save us
The tables will turn
Eye of the world
Save us
The shadow will burn
Eye of the world

[Music by Eckert/Sielck u Words by Sielck]

[The battle rages and once again mankind is facing war.]

Infuriated - electrified
Grim and relentless they ride
Fighters are launching

Onto the stars versing the shadows
Armed and ready to strike
Starwings engaging
The battle is raging

Fires in the sky
Prepared to die - no time to sigh
Thunder roars
Ready to course with no remorse

Firing the guns - explode and reload
Firing the guns - relentless and cold
Time to strike back
Under attack

They're thrusting their way
Throughout the rows
Again man's in the throws
The throws of war
We've seen it before

The world's under fire
The flames burning higher
The Dark must not come to the throne
Man will fight
With all its might

Dragons of light
Infernal ride - defeat the night
Starwings engage
Ready to course with no remorse

Firing the guns...

Fighting in this dreadful war? what is it all good for
In the battle against the Black - there ain't no turning back
I am a warrior, still I'm strong
I'll raise my blade to carry on - carry on

[Solo Kai]

Fires in the sky...

Firing the guns...

(Music by Eckert/Sielck; Words by Sielck)

(The almost perfect extinction of the human race during the savior-war has pushed the bio-unit to the edge. In deep depression, driven away from home and in the soli-tude of deep space this poor soul has seen Hell...)

I saw my children from up in the sky
Bleeding and sentenced to die
Devastation and Termination
I've been your angel of death
Watching unmoved
I've been awaiting your final breath

Children forgive me
For I've been so wrong
Fate took revenge
On all I have done

I've been to Hell
I've seen the fires burning
Oh, I saw Hell
Demons I heard you calling
So many years I've been out there alone
Broken and scared to the bone
Out in the dark
Sorrow and grief possessed my heart

Out of control
In this deadly machine
Innocent victims
Are haunting my dreams

I've been to Hell...

Rage
Agony
Endless pain
I'll never be the same

(Solo by Piet)

Castaway
Today
Light years away from home
Blood on my hands
I must redeem
I will repent

No more repoungance between the machine
And my tortured mind
Together we're strong - now we are one
One of a kind

I've been to Hell...

To Hell I have been to pay for my sin
But no more I'll burn - I shall return

Demons of darkness
You've been calling me
But I'm clear in my mind now
And I'm on my way and I am free

(Words & Music by Sielck)

(Bio-unit and machine are no longer fighting each other. They are one of a kind, a unique lifeform of man and machine. And so the Savior will return to protect and serve his children...)

Out in the void of the vast
Throughout the torrents of time
Millenniums I had to outlast
Alone in this heart of mine

Built and designed to obey
To keep man alive
Oh, I have failed
Now they struggle to survive

Forever free
Free from the split in my mind
Now I can see
My eyes have been blind
The way of the ways - the line of the lines
My destiny once and for all
Oh Atlantis, I hear your call

I am the one - you are the ones
I will protect you - my brothers and sons
I have returned - to fight this battle
I am the savior - my heart is made
Made of metal

A shadow from somewhere beyond
Is reaching out its claw
Twisting the rays of the sun
My children you ain't gonna fall

I'll raise my blade
The time for reprisal is here
It's not too late
The savior is here
The ancient machine - a million lifes' dream
Protect and serve you all
Oh Atlantis, I hear your call

I am the one - you are the ones...

(Solo Piet)

Forever free...

I am the one - you are the ones...

I am your leader I'm in command The fate
of all my followers Lies in my hand

The burdon of what is right or wrong
Decisions have to be made I have to take
you all Into this burning gate

Will we ever come back Follow me now We
will attack

Never say die On wings of hope we'll fly
Never surrender No never - never say die
Dragons of light We're leaving tonight The
wings of hope bring us high Never say die

Fighters are launching up into the sky On
fire they ride Goddess of fate Guide and
protect us tonight

Into darkness and shadow So far beyond
Oh, I don't know If there will be tomorrow

Never say die On wings of hope we'll fly
Never surrender No never - never say die
Dragons of light We're leaving tonight The
wings of hope bring us high Never say die

Warriors hear my call The Evil has to fall
Warriors hear my call The Evil has to fall

SOLO Piet - Kai - Piet - Kai - both

Will we ever come back We're going
beyond Follow me now We will attack

Never say die On wings of hope we'll fly
Never surrender No never - never say die

wings of hope bring us high Never say die

Never say - never say - never say die!

(Hey you shadow bastards! We'll blow your asses out of space and time! Understand?)

They came to take our land and lifes
To terminate our race
All across the galaxy
They leave a deadly trace

Emerged from Hell - an evil spell
The universe is cursed
They came to please and satisfy
Their everlasting thirst

We will stand
Together til the end
Into the fire we will ride

Predators - on the hunt for prey
Predators - come to make our day

You gonna pay

We warn you now
You things up there
It's time to understand
We'll blow you into nothingness
Whatever you may send

We will stand...

Predators - on the hunt for prey...

(Solo Piesel)

Onto the battlefield
Onto the firing line
We gonna blow your asses
Out of space and time
Yeah!

Predators - on the hunt for prey...

You gonna pay - some day

Exploitation - Infestation Life's ectincted -

Kill - we came to kill the night We're the
warriors of light Fight - we'll fight the evil
force We gonna get to the source

Seek and destroy Into the shadow we ride
Riding side by side Seek and destroy
Defiant we'll attack Seek and destroy The
center of the black

Termination - Extirepation Grim incursion -
fulfilling the mission By fire and sword Hell
- we're hiding underground To Hell we are
bound Die - until the final breath We ride in
defiance of death

Seek and destroy Into the shadow we ride
Riding side by side Seek and destroy
Defiant we'll attack Seek and destroy The
center of the black

Black will be tainted by blazing red The
forces of darkness will burn We gonna get
to the center tonight And we shall never
return

Seek and destroy Into the shadow we ride
Riding side by side Seek and destroy
Defiant we'll attack Seek and destroy The
center of the black

Riding out to seek and destroy!

(Music by Hansen/Sielck; Words by Hansen)

(OK... We could make up a weird explanation of how the lyrics fit into the concept. Fact is they just don't! But we liked the particular sound of the words so much, that we decided to keep them like this anyway...)

Do you believe in the god with a twisted eye
Do you believe in hell and what's below
Facing the man with the blade and an evil smile
The innocence of madness seems to grow

And now you stand and stare and wonder
Can you believe in what you see
Is there a place beyond the suffering
If not for you, there's one for me

I'm high, I ride on Solar Wings
I'm riding, ohoo
I'm free, I ride on Solar Wings
'cause I'm riding... on... Solar Wings

A hundred years I'm riding on
I've seen the madness down below
A million miles I'm riding strong
My destination is unknown
I'm leaving from insanity
I don't believe in destiny
I'm waiting for my sanctuary
If not for you, there?s one for me

I'm high, I ride on Solar Wings
I'm riding, ohoo
I'm free, I ride on Solar Wings
'cause I'm riding... on... Solar Wings

(Solo)

This is the afterlife, it fills me with desire
I'm riding high, I ride into the fire

I'm high, I ride on Solar Wings
I'm riding, ohoo
I'm free, I ride on Solar Wings
'cause I'm riding... on... Solar Wings
