Kamelot

Oh black tower, what is your power,
What makes men run and hide,
i have seen evil, in the dead of the night,
as the demons they dance in my mind.

Telling tales of horror,
in the splendour of their torture,
burning flames reach for the sky,
and the gates of hell are open,

whoaa, AAAH, AAAH, oh black tower,
oh-ohoh, black tower.

(mini-solo) blacktower

oh black tower,
why do you devour,
the souls asleep in the night,
casting your shadows, signs of no tomorrows,
why must i fear for my life,

telling tales of horror, in the splendour of their torture,
burning flames reach for the sky,
and the gates of hell are open.

whoaa, AAAHH, AAHHHH oh black tower,
oh-ohoh black tower

(beast solo) black tower

Now i know its the truth,
all the evil endoured,
they shall pay their dues,
nightmares tell the truth,

oh black tower, whoaa blacktower

(mini-solo)blacktower.

why must i take the chance, in my mind.

endless alone lost at sea
it's a never ending chore to
keep my head above these waters
I've never feared before

the sun has taken its toll
the salt runs in my veins
I've never feared before these
waters I've grown to hate
will I live to see tomorrow?
or will I die in this watery depth?
the sea is calling me
my will to live is stronger than
these tides could ever be
the sea is calling me
why won't I let these waters
claim me victory?

I long for the place where the
winds and the tide tear at the shore
but in the twilights of my dreams
the fire rages on

endless alone lost at sea
it's a never ending chore to
keep my head above these waters
I've never feared before

I long for the place where the
winds and the tide tear at the shore
but in the twilights of my dreams
the fire rages on

the sea is calling me
my will to live is stronger than
these tides could ever be
the sea is calling
why won't I let these waters
claim me victory?

As I sit upon these rocks above
I feel the waves crash upon the shore
As the sea sprays on my glowing face
I wish I could embrace the sea
for evermore
As I lay my head to sleep at night
I dream the sea and me we flow as one
But I'm a prisoner of the sands and
no one understands these childish dreams

An old man approaches me
His feeble mind confusing to thee
He speaks in riddles and rhymes
Tales of an old witch that cast him
from the sea
But wait my eyes full of splendor
or could this be some crazy old tale
I look to his eyes for the answer

I will my soul to the sea
for Eternity
I will my soul to the sea
for Eternity

And so the journey begins
The pain and suffering
Are your dreams worth this torment?
You can deal Another hand
But the light in the distance
promises this the journeys end
Great gods of olympus
Great god Poseidon
Accept this mortal never let
Him return, For He's willed
His soul to the sea
For Eternity

I will my soul to the sea
for Eternity
I will my soul to the sea
for Eternity

Take a look into the crystal
Take a look at what the
Future may bring
All around you is darkness
As your shattered soul screams
As I stand before the crystal
See my life pass before me
Stand up straight look into my
Eyes tell me what do you see?

Is there no gold at the end
Of this rainbow?
Is there no hope at the end
Of the road?
Will there be strength for
The dreams that I've lived for
Or will I just let go?

Many years have passed me by
Many trials of life i've survived
stills the head wind blows my way
It's getting harder everyday

Is there no gold at the end
Of this rainbow?
Is there no hope at the end
Of the road?
Will there be strength for
The dreams that I've lived for
Or will I just let go?

The fire within is smoldering
The waters of life are raging In
Once there was passion
Desire to win

I feel the distant stare
Of a watching eye
Watching eyes of THE woodsman
Quivers of death await me here
I'm blind to their illusion - confusion

Fletching of fowl Slips
Through the wind
Releasing their death with
Their fingers
My fate lies on a tensel line
I must escape but there's
Nowhere to hide

The now exchanging roles
In this theater of ill humor
The understudy steals
The stage with an encore performance

One of the hunted -
The tables have turned
One of the hunted -
There's nowhere to run
One of the hun ted -
The tables have turned
One of the hunted -
There's nowhere to run

In the temples of nature
I hear the laughter
Just another victim on
This lonely trail
They show no emotion for
This loss of life
It reminds me of myself not long ago
And the cries for life that
I'd seem to ignore
The cries for life are now
My very own

One of the hunted
The tables have turned
One of the hunted
There's nowhere to run
One of the hunted
The tables have turned
One of the hunted
There's nowhere to run

Now I tell you an ancient tale
Of an ancient man
From not such a distant land
Chivalry rode forth on his mighty horse
The crest of the church
Engraved upon his chest

Winding down this dizzy path
Towards the dragon's lair
The howl of the wind screams beware
Your pulse starts to quicken
Your blood runs with fear
You feel the heat now rising
It tells the dragon's near

Proud nomad of the past
Beware of yourself for
Your life won't last
Proud Nomad of the past
Pride has killed a thousand
Men before you
Proud Nomad of the past
Beware of yourself for
Your life won't last

Proud Nomad of the past
So let not this foolishness
Hold you in it's grasp
Stop, beware, run for your life
Fear for your life
While there's still time to choose
Halt don't go near
Don't you realize you have only one life
So don't be a fool

But time and time again
I see it in their eyes
It's the weakness of mortal men
They live by this creed
Though it will find them dead

Proud Nomad of the past
Beware of yourself for
Your life won't last

Shrill of the horn screams my name
Pounding the ground
the games begin
The crowd they roar
The blood it boils inside me
I fear not you, You fear not me
The swords are drawn
And shimmering
The time has come again
To honor our king

The gods have blessed
This wicked game
Fight we must and show no shame
For the time has come again
To feed our blood-thirsty king

I look into your eyes
Reflections of the sky
A whisper on the wind
As your soul says goodbye

Red sands underneath my feet
Stained by the blood
I draw from thee
Red sands as far as I can see
Tainted these lands
Stained by history

What once was a whisper
Now is an echo in my head
The look on their faces
As I stand in this sea of red
I feel the evil rising
Hear the mesmermizing
Voice from hell
Feel the evil rising
Hear the mesmermizing
Voice from hell

My entrance purely pleasure
For your riches I ask you not
For I am the gleeman
Who loves to sing
And strike upon my golden harp

So I bow before you o mighty king
In the hopes you hear my song
These feet have traveled far and wide
In a life lived FOR THE song

I claim no land my home
For I know not where I'm from
Traveled mountain peaks
And valleys low
In a life for the son of a bard

Raise your harp my friend
For the song that burns
In your heart
Sing of the heroes
And the days that time forgot
Sing of the days of the Earls and
The Kings and the Knights
That conquered great feats
For these are the things
That we all dream
But only your eyes have seen

A life for a lyric
I've traveled these war lands deep
Raging the knights in shining armor
Surely death awaits the weak
I've sailed the viking vessels
Plunging the northern seas
Crossing the blue horizon
No land for the eye to see
For the eye to see

Raise your harp my friend
For the song that burns
In your heart
Sing of the heroes
And the days that time forgot
Sing of the days of the Earls
And the Kings and the Knights
That conquered great feats
For these are the things
That we all dream
But only your eyes have seen

His own war
It an aerial assault
It's the war of the bird
Strapped to his forearm
Awaiting flight,
He's blind as the night
Set his mask free
Piercing eyes point towards the sea
A waiting white gull
So swift in flight
Flowing like the sea
Shadowed by his wing spread
As the bird takes to flight
He is bound in ecstacy
As the claws sink in deep
He hears the bird start to scream
As his life is taken from him
Another trophy retrieved
Warbird: Champion your King
Warbird: Warriors on wings
Warbird: Champion your King
Warbird: Warriors on wings
Sheltered eyes hide the deep blue sky
Shackles hold the arching wings
Until tomorrow imprisoned
For tomorrow he will be free
Taking time out to create
His own war
It an aerial assault
It's the war of the bird
Strapped to his forearm
Awaiting flight
He's blind as the night
Set his mask free
Piercing eyes point
Towards the sea

It was just another night
She held me in
Her arms so tight
We were dreaming with the
Stars in our eyes
But I never realized

Like The wild in a cage
Waiting to be free
A bird on the ground
With a broken wing
You wanted to fly
You had to be free
But what about me?

It was just another day
You had so much to say
Our love was still strong
But you had to be free

Like the wild in a cage
Waiting to be free
A bird on the ground
With a broken wing
You wanted to fly
You had to be free
But what about me?

Now the sands of time
Have buried the heartbreak
You walked in with the wind
Uncovered the memories
You're holding your arms out to me
Temptation is all I see
I have to be strong
You had to be free
Cause it's all about me

Like The wild in a cage
Waiting to be free
A bird on the ground
With a broken wing
You wanted to fly
You had to be free
But what about me?

He Was A Young Boy
About To Be A Man
She Loved Him So
Oh Please Don't Go
Down On His Knees
The Blade Passed With Ease
Shoulder To Shoulder
As It Pierces Her Heart
Out In The Fields
The Boy Becomes A Man
Taste Of Blood In His Throat
Feel Of Death On His Hands
He Shall Fall On This Dark, Misty Night
As He Falls He Hears His Loved One Cry
Birth Of A Hero
Death Of A Man
She'll Never Understand
Why He Left Her Hand
He Was A Young Boy
She Loved Him So
She Watched The Sun Set
And Longed For His Journey Home
Flags Fly Low
The Blade Cut Deep
Now She Must Bear The Wounds
That Bleed Memories

Crossing Two Rivers
And Fields In The Dark
He Is In Love Enslaved By The Heart
She Waits By The Window For
The First Sight Of Her Love
She Hopes And Prays
That Nothing Will Keep Their Love Apart
Two Separate Kingdoms
Two Separate Lives Thrown Apart
By The Hate And Lies
She Waits By The Window
For The Love That Left Her Arms
She Hopes And Prays
That One Day Their Hearts Will Beat As One
Even Though Their World's At War
Love Grows Stronger Than Before
The Moats Between Their Love Grow Shallow
Crossing Two Rivers
And Fields In The Dark
He Is In Love Enslaved By The Heart
She Waits By The Window
For The Love That Left Her Arms
She Hopes And Prays
That One Day Their Hearts Will Beat As One
Even Though Their World's At War
Love Grows Stronger Than Before
The Moats Between Their Love Grow Shallow

look towards the sea tell me,
what do you see?
will you know what it is when you have found it?
you searched high above and you searched far below
but it still seems so far and you know it
time - it dwindles away
there's a clock on the wall
and it seems to be calling your name
you hide, but you can't run away
he'll be right there behind you
reminding you it's not a game
i will conquer the beast and i'll swim the seven seas
and my heart will still beat and i'll never give up
i will walk desert plains and endure gruelling pain
and my heart will still beat and i never give up
heaven is a heartbeat away for your dreams of
tomorrow could very well end today
heaven is a heartbeat away for your dreams of
tomorrow could very well end today

One Day I'll Win
One Day I'll Win
One Day You Will See
One Day I'll Win
One Day I'll Win
For I Wish It To Be
And Then You Will See
One Day I'll Win
Look In My Eyes
You'll See A Different Part Of Me
Hear My Words Speak
You'll Hear A Different Part Of Me
Yes I Know I'm A Simple Man
Yes I Know It's A Complex Land
If I Tell Myself I Can If I Dream
Therefore I Am
Oh Lord, Please Hear Me Oh Lord,
Please Hear My Song
It's All I Own, It's All I Own
Look In My Eyes
You'll See A Different Part Of Me
Hear My Words Speak
You'll Hear A Different Part Of Me

heat from the ground feeds the fire
my desire to live with this rage
with thoughts of you filling my nights and my days
sounds of the speaking of tongues
visions of circles undone
keeps this heart of mine beating for the time
of our meeting will come
and now i turn to the gods
whichever will listen from below or above
hear my cry, feel my pain
if i should fall, i'll start over
again hear my cry, feel my pain
if i should die, i will rise again
i scream to the sky full of anger
my body increasingly weaker
i won't die for you - i won't die for you
heaven is a heartbeat away
hear my cry, feel my pain
if i should fall, i'll start over again
hear my cry, feel my pain
if i should die, i will rise again

Black Is The Night That Calls Me
Sinner From A Sin
The Waters That Once Did Bless Me
Now Burn My Skin Fearing The Fields Of Fire
And The War That's Within
I'll Draw My Sword For The Last Time
It's Here This Will End
Black Is The Night That Calls Me
A Voice From Within
Playing With My Emotions
When Will It End?
Promising Pure Desire
Of The Pleasures Of Sin
I'll Draw My Sword For The Last Time
It's Here This Will End
You May Try To Find Me
I'll Hide Deep In Your Head
You May Try To Fight Me
I'm A Seed From Deep Within
You May Not Recall Inviting Me
But I Was There The First Time You Sinned
You May Not Recall Inviting Me
But I Will Be Here Until The End
(And Here It Will End)

As Crusaders Ravage The Earth
At Night Their Swords And Shields Hang To Their Side
For The Battle They Had Forsaken
For The Glory They Had Fortaken
The King Rides Ahead Of The Group
Homeward Bound He Marches His Troops
For Fair Land France Lies In The Balance
For Foe Man France Home Of The Gallant
Song Of Roland
Never Knight Be So Worthy
Song Of Roland
Never Knight Be So Worthy
The King Holds Grief In His Eyes
For His Nephew He's Left Behind
To Ensure The Background Is Stable
To Ensure Them Against Attack
The King Kneels To His Nephew,
Brave Knight Prince Roland
He Holds Tears In His Eyes
And Pain In His Heart
'For Our God's We Tear Our World's Apart
And With This Death I Leave You
One Last Thought
Never Knight Be So Worthy
Till France Be No More'
As Lances Draw Upon The Enemy
A Sea Of Waving Banners Surround,
The Moors Fall From The Hillside
Like The Rain In The Dark Forest
As The Battle Rolls On
The Men Fall To Ground
Their Ears Ache For The Shrill Of The Horn,
But Roland Persists On Holding His Ground,
'Let Us Strike A Mighty Blow
For Our Lord And Our God!'

Closing My Eyes Again
To Forget About The Day
I've Seen It All Before
And I'll See It All Again
But I'll Never Know Just Why
Oh Lord, Help Me To See A Way
To Live This Dream
For My Time Is Running Short
And My Patience Wearing Thin
By Morning I'll Never Know
What Shape I'll Be In
A Broken Rainbow Falls From The Sky
The Tears Of Sorrow Fill A Young Man's Eyes
There's A Dark Cry From Deep Inside
From A Splintering Heart
This River I Ride On Always
Seems To Flow My Way
And The Stars I Look To Guide Me
Shine Brighter Than The Day
The Silence Of The Night
Calms A Troubled Mind
The Worries Of The Day
Just Seem To Fade Away
(Fade Away)
A Broken Rainbow Falls From The Sky
The Tears Of Sorrow Fill A Young Man's Eyes
There's A Dark Cry
From Deep Inside From A Splintering Heart

launch the silver spear
the world will cry a tear
in the heavens will appear
another angel
hear the elders cry
waiting for their time
as they look towards the heavens
why won't they answer?

we are playing with nature
splitting the atom
confusing religions
killing the masses
we are not separate
from what we destroy
time has com for us
to make the only choice

we are not separate
from what we destroy
time has come for us
to make the only choice

we rape for our power
not caring for life
we tarnish our waters
'til they are as black as night

we visualize the future
with the eyes of the blind
we hear nature calling
but we still deny

we are not separate
from what we destroy
time has come for us
to make the only choice

freedom fires burning
mighty kingdoms shall rise
crystal ships have returned
like pawns on a distant shore

there's a cold empty place inside
where you know there's no end

mighty storm mighty storm
stirs from the skies above
like a cold chill rushed upon my face

searching - for what awaits us
set a course for a new shore
for what tomorrow will bring

plunging the northern seas
winds fill the sails
as we approach another world
that time has forgotten me
the sun blinds and circles me

no man is an island
no footsteps have walked these shores
discoveries on virgin soil
let the Expedition begin

searching - for what awaits us
set a course for a new shore
for what tomorrow will bring

I had to climb the highest mountain
I was on my own
And i had to walk through fire and rain
In my search for you
I will search for you
I had to sail the seven seas
Into no mans land
And I found my place in history
Found out who I am
Who am i?
Irea
I close my eyes and call your name
Irea
I pretend you're mine again
I fall into you once again
Chasing memories
And i will live in Cardinal Sin
when you set me free
Wont you set me free?
Irea
I close my eyes and call your name
Irea
I pretend you're mine again
Irea
I need you here
Irea
Once you are gone I go insane

Seize this regal day
Your time has come
Reach for the crown
Take all that you can
Its your time to become the King
Its time to take
All that life has to give to you
Look towards the heavens search you soul
It will tell you the truth that i'm told
Brave men will fight
Weak men will always die
Never to reach the the top of the mountainside
Look through these King's Eyes
What do you see?
Fortune and glory and triumphs to be
Look through these King's Eyes
What do they tell?
Your desire will never be killed
There's a certain feeling you get
At the moment you know you're the one
That sets the course of your own destiny
Controlled by you alone feel it rise
Inside your heart
The winning force at hand reach for the crown
Take all that you can
You can do anything
You can be king
Don't be controlled
Master your own destiny
Brave men will fight
Weak men will always die
Never to reach the the top of the mountainside
Look through these King's Eyes
What do you see?
Fortune and glory and triumphs to be
Look through these King's Eyes
What do they tell?
Your desire will never be killed
Look through these eyes...

I look into the black horizon
the more i see the more i know
I try to justify the wars won
but that won't satisfy my soul

I hold the future in my hand
but I could easily destroy
I see the footprints in the sand
they seem to vanish in the void

can I walk away
can I choose to stay
feel I'm getting near
voices that I hear

sail away, follow the sacred heart
chase the sun, one with the moon and stars
sail away, You'll find the promised land
in your hand, there is a New Millennium

I wish wouldn't have to worry
about the life that lies ahead
but when the present turns tomorrow
I shall remember what they said

feel I'm getting near
voices that I hear

sail away, follow the sacred heart
chase the sun, one with the moon and stars
sail away, you'll find the promised land
in your hand, there is a New Millennium

I saw your shadow disappear
Outside my door today
Now i'm left here lost and alone
I light a candle in your name
An eternal burning flame
Shining like the sun to find your way home
Cold tide tower my way
And now I know
Warm skies shower my face
Find your way home
I knew this day would come
But I feared it anyway
Now my castles cold and dark
What was once a dream now becomes our destiny
And I can't wait another day
What was once a dream now means everything
To me.To me.
No country can divide
No seas can separate
Our souls tonight
We are one
What was once a dream now becomes our destiny
And I can't wait another day
What was once a dream now means everything
To me. To me

can you remember the morning
I told you goodbye
just when a new was dawning
a piece of me died

somehow I have to try to
getting used to being alone
If I could only hold you once again
I'd never let go

save me a prayer
when day turns to night
lord won't you
show me the light

one day - I'll find back to my heart and soul again
one day - I swear swear by your name

memories keep me awake
and you're there by my side
I wonder if its only in my mind
that I am alive

save me a prayer
when day turns to night
lord won't you
tell me I'm right

one day - I'll find back to my heart and soul again
one day - I swear swear by your name

one day - I'll find back to my heart and soul again
one day - I swear swear by your name X2

Remembering that day
I see my body below me
Sighs rend the air
Night will it find the day
Or will I slumber for Eternity
There's a knocking at the gates
The darkness is calling me
How will i know what awaits?
Pulled through these hollowed halls
The light in the distance
As my spirit falls
I must not leave this world
But i lost my resistance
Heaven held before me
I can see The fires are churning
Is this really how it has to be?
Parting Visions in my head
Calling out your name
It screams to be heard
Voices in my head
Parting Visions in my head
Calling out your name
It screams to be heard
Voices in my head

Here - I stand before you all
This body's been beaten and battered
But I will not fall
Time - It may change me
As i look back upon this cold life
I see nothing but misery
Push me:Pull me:
I will not turn away
All this:Pain will:
Prove fruitful one day
You'll see
As I stand I see legions before me
They drink and they dance
In the night
Without thinking I unsheathe my sword
My body is ready to fight
I Walk into the fire
They say that I've sunk so low
But my goal lies much higher
I will, Not lie
Down in the grave
If they, Want me
I am not afraid
Tempting Providence once again
I fall to my knees and my hands
Tempting providence
When will this madness end
You made me the man that I am...
Now
That I am old and wise
The fire has dimmed to a wisp
But I'm still alive
Oh-
The end is much closer
I never thought I'd see the day
When it would be over
Hold me, Tell me today is the day
All this, Pain will soon go away
Tempting Providence once again
I fall to my knees and my hands
When will this nightmare end
Tempting providence once again
This nightmare will soon reach its' end

In a time in a place
long ago today
i can see it there in the distance
in the air on line
on the corner of the mind
Rhydin is rising against the sun
Rhydin is rising
Join us a new world is open
Rhydin is rising
Don't you know its a new kingdom
Its new kingdom
In the sea its a birth
On the corner of this earth
Somewhere in the dark horizon
These are the days
Endless wars
In the fields and on our shores
Where the minute last a day
Rhydin is rising
Join us a new world is open
Rhydin is rising
Don't you know its a new kingdom
Its all there, its all there in your mind

Spinning twisting in my hand
I hold the key to this wasteland
I've been searching it for you
Don't try to run
Don't hide away
There is no hope you can't escape
I see your smile fade away
Your bright blue sky has turned to gray
Tonight
Unlock the door
Close your eyes
I'll set you free
Here, in this spiralling darkness
Where my pleasure is your pain
Fear wraps it's arms around you
Here:is where i reign
It feels so good
This feels so right
That you should be my sacrifice
Don't try to run
Don't hide away
There is no hope you can't be saved
Here, in this spiralling darkness
Where my pleasure is your pain
Fear wraps it's arms around you

can you hear the sirens resound?
from the coastline of Ireland tonight
it's the song of a promising heart
of the souls that the ocean unite

and she stands by the window alone
staring into the rain
she is trying to guide his way home
from the waters that keep them apart

so she lights up a candle for hope to be found
captive and blind by the darkness around
firm as a mountain, she never will mourn
timeless awaiting the break of dawn

can you hear the sailorman's hymn?
as it comes with the rise of the tide
it is sung where the rainbow begins
as a comfort for tears she has cried

she remains by the window alone
staring into the rain
she is trying to guide his way home
keeps on praying for god to protect him

she lights up a candle for hope to be found
captive and blind by the darkness around
each wave a promise, a new hope reborn
sunrise consoles at the break of dawn

far across the sea
a piece of history
in Egypt's land
I'll build a city
beautiful and strong
beyond belief
a new metropolis
to redefine my destiny

rise and shine Alexandria
under protection of my name
pure, divine, and imperial

a place to watch the stars
the center of the earth
I see it all... my worlds converging
and to guide a king's armada through the night
I raise the seventh wonder to delight Poseidon

rise and shine Alexandria
under protection of my name
pure, divine, and imperial

make me the city of a living angel
casting shades all over Babylon
hailing me, a holy son of god
as a monument of time
and the goals that I achieved
make a sculpture of my mind

"Hey! Woo! Thank you! OK, we're gonna slow it down for a bit now.
This is a song about a girl that might have forgotten me by now.
But I hope we will meet again some time in the future."

A flame within my heart has died
This a song, it's song with no reprise
Today I just don't know why
What we had and what we shared, so divine

Sunrise in Osaka, but I'm cold tonight
The northern lights are shining, and my dreams take flight

Can you remember? Tell me how far I have to go
Can you remember lust in the eastern skies?
Can you remember when you told me sayonara?
Can you remember me? 'Cause I will never say goodbye

A flame within my heart has died
Too far away, it's too far for me to say
I wish I could turn back time
Is there anyone to blame? Show me the way

Sunrise in Osaka, but I'm cold tonight
The northern lights are shining, and my dreams take flight
Memories are forever, and I see your face
Crying in the distance, 'til we fall from grace

Can you remember? Tell me how far I have to go?
Can you remember lust in the eastern skies?
Can you remember when you told me sayonara?
Can you remember me? 'Cause I will never say goodbye

Can you remember? Tell me how far I have to go
Can you remember lust in the eastern skies?
Can you remember when you told me sayonara?
Can you remember me? 'Cause I will never say goodbye

"Thank you."

sworn by the crown
I lead a crusade
fight for belief to be one

out in the field
fearless and cold
building the road to my Calvary

strong is my steel
dark is my mind
carmine the ground that I tread

faith in my god
keeps me alive
but when does my faith turn to doubt

silently watching the rain
carving the earth on my grave
lord you know that I prayed
one for the glory
and one for the souls that I've slain

how will I know
how could I tell
where would I find some serenity

sowing the seed
unwounded I bleed
lord won't you show me the way

christ is the cross that I bear
god is the will of my war
faint are the voices I hear
whispers of glory...

christ is the cry of despair
cursing the day I was born
this is the faith that we share
left with the glory
and suffering of souls that we've torn

little do I know
little do I care
little would it help
if knew and was aware
aim beyond the stars
catch a glimpse of gold
a planetary chart
where the stories are untold

there's a piece of truth for everyone
give me something to die for
like a sacrifice for days bygone
in my solitude

there's a place where I want to hide
with a view to a shallow moon
there's a star in my cosmic mind
that reminds me of you

a gathering of wolfs
under luna's light
fear of the unknown
make us worshippers at night

there's a compromise for everyone
but I need something to die for
like a sacrifice for days bygone
in my solitude

there's a place where I want to hide
with a view to a shallow moon
there's a star in my cosmic mind
that reminds me of you

tokens of the afterlife
feeding on the blood of christ
chasing for an alibi
searching for the holyland
following the masterplan
does it matter in end?

souls unwoken
hearts unbroken
lunar rites
seize tonight

came across the waters
a kingdom in the sands
unfaithful to the sultan
a killing was at hand
challenged to survival
a legacy of fear
eternal mystic legends
one for every tear

nights of Arabia
the queen has lost her right to life
nights of Arabia
her destiny in story lines
nights of Arabia
a thousand tales and one for life
these are nights of Arabia

whispers in the moonlight
a gathering of vales
circled round the fire
to hear this evenings tale
standing on the threshold
the crest of darkened nights
seduction of the hunter
the slave regains her might

"lost inside a shadow
erase the sins I've made
heavenly reward me
with mercy on my fate"

nights of Arabia
the queen has lost her right to life nights of Arabia
her destiny in story lines
nights of Arabia
a thousand tales and one for life
these are nights of Arabia
Sheherazade will never die

the sultan relents his feeble heart
his love for the queen is greater than he'll ever know
"it's easy to let you feed my nights
someone to touch, someone to hold,
someone to feel, someone to love"

"here I am to die alone
voices from heaven above
hear my call awaken my soul
forgive me for what I have done"

challenged to survival
a legacy of fear
eternal mystic legends
one for every tear

I rest my eyes
on the open field
a silver line
to heavens gate
my mind is blank
it's a state I know
a sacred place
where all I see is hate

I raise my head
to retain my wrath
the savage force
that lives inside of me
foe to foe
one will die and one will be

and I pray she holds my soul
can you hear me calling?

silent goddess won't you
conduct my fear away
silent goddess won't you be
closer when I hate

the battle cries
and the sound of steel
another quest
for holy land
some true belief
in each open wound
in Luna's light the lonely victor stands
and I hope she holds my soul
can you hear me calling?

silent goddess won't you
conduct my fear away
silent goddess won't you be
closer when I hate
silent goddess will you
forever be the same
silent goddess can you
feel this heart pulsate

you know that I die for belief
I swear by the sword in my hand
the sum of the pain and the grief
is nothing compared to the wealth I obtain
and the spirit of god can expand

settle for the journey
sail across the seven seas
carried by the spirit of the brave
join the New Allegiance now
and pledge your sacred heart
a history that no one can forsake

flying like an eagle from oblivion
guided by the rising morning star

you will find the New Allegiance
like a beacon in the night
if you're searching for salvation
reach inside
there's a new world approaching
a fire to be seen
in following The Fourth Legacy

once you find the passage
to another promised land
don't forget the ones you left behind

flying like an eagle from oblivion
rising in the mirror of the sky

you will find the New Allegiance
like a beacon in the night
if you're searching for salvation
reach inside
there's a new world approaching
a fire to be seen
in following The Fourth Legacy

there's glory in the distance
for the one's that pay the price
ignorance creates a subtle mind

keep the fighting spirit
never close your eyes
don't forget the ones you left behind

flying like an eagle from oblivion
rising in the mirror of the sky

you will find the New Allegiance
like a beacon in the night

I am a cleric serving god the king and queen
I claim confession
and true belief by any means
purification heal heretics
burn the demons out

and god's behind me
watch my each and every move
you know I'll find you
in the shadow of a shattered moon
come all you witches
my procedures are approved

won't you let me ease your sorrow
let me guide you through the night
all my methods clean and thorough
don't you fear the light

I reassemble
broken souls and wasted lives
I raise my head and see
my father through the blood red skies
and in my dreams I know he holds my sanctuary

so all you witches bow to the auto-de-fe
just close your eyes and listen to my holy say
you disbelievers
little do you know

won't you let me ease your sorrow
purify your poisoned veins
there is yet a new tomorrow
I will ease your pain

ease your pain
the fire's burning wild
ease your pain
the inquisition
has drained the demons
like I said it would

due to the legend
a new king will come
rise in the morning horizon
brave and believing
for wars to be won
born with the heart of a lion
he will fight for a country unite
till the last drop of blood confines the oath
till all will respect him wherever he roams

deep in the woods
he can hear she's alive
lost in the dark
of a dragons lament
searching the highlands
in trying to find
trace of Morgana
the Princess of Hate

he will be holding
the sword in the stone
knights of the kingdom will join him
bring back the honor
of Pendragons name
from where the cauldron is boiling

but the shadow of Uther restrains
all the efforts to reunite the realm
a witch of his own blood from heaven expelled

deep in the woods
there are prints in the sand
leading towards
where the angels repent
king of the ocean
king of the land
nothing can save him
from Merlin's consent

coming of storms
battles of war
knights of thunder are fearless
thus goes the legend
the tale I was told
now we await his appearance
but the shadow of Uther remains
there is no way the king can break the oath
the shadow will follow wherever he roams

in the black of the night she appears
I can see that she's trying
to relocate the source of my fears
I've been searching her high and low

in this dream she will show me the door
to a new revelation
and I know that I've seen her before
that she'll bring me salvation

I remember when she was still alive
always there by my side
every day is a fight to survive
every minute a shattered memory

like the sun shining down on me
like the breeze on the ocean
you're the path of my destiny
I know you will follow me until Kingdom Come

when I watch from the tower at night
into fading horizons
I can see her shade in the twilight
dressed in silver she's dancing

I remember as if it was today
always there by my side
you are reason, and relief to my pain
and one day we will reunite

like the sun shining down on me
like the breeze on the ocean
you're the path of my destiny
I know you will follow me until Kingdom Come
like the sun shining down on me
like the breeze on the ocean
you're the path of my destiny
I'll follow my heart until Kingdom Come

Can you hear the sirens resound
From the coastline of Ireland tonight
It's the song of a promising heart
Of the souls that the ocean unite

And she stands by the window alone
Staring into the rain
She is trying to guide his way home
From the waters that keep them apart

So she lights up a candle for hope to be found
Captive and blind by the darkness around
Firm as a mountain, she never will mourn
Timeless awaiting the break of dawn

Can you hear the sailorman's hymn
As it comes with the rise of the tide
It is sung where the rainbow begins
As a comfort for tears she has cried

She remains by the window alone
Staring into the rain
She is trying to guide his way home
Keeps on praying for god to protect him

She lights up a candle for hope to be found
Captive and blind by the darkness around
Each wave a promise, a new hope reborn
Sunrise consoles at the break of dawn

She lights up a candle for hope to be found
Captive and blind by the darkness around
Each wave a promise, a new hope reborn
Sunrise consoles at the break of dawn

She lights up a candle for hope to be found
Captive and blind by the darkness around
Each wave a promise, a new hope reborn
Sunrise consoles at the break of dawn

endless alone lost at sea
it's a never ending chore to
keep my head above these waters
I've never feared before

the sun has taken its toll
the salt runs in my veins
I've never feared before these
waters I've grown to hate
will I live to see tomorrow?
or will I die in this watery depth?
the sea is calling me
my will to live is stronger than
these tides could ever be
the sea is calling me
why won't I let these waters
claim me victory?

I long for the place where the
winds and the tide tear at the shore
but in the twilights of my dreams
the fire rages on

endless alone lost at sea
it's a never ending chore to
keep my head above these waters
I've never feared before

I long for the place where the
winds and the tide tear at the shore
but in the twilights of my dreams
the fire rages on

the sea is calling me
my will to live is stronger than
these tides could ever be
the sea is calling

freedom fires burning
mighty kingdoms shall rise
crystal ships have returned
like pawns on a distant shore

there's a cold empty place inside
where you know there's no end

mighty storm mighty storm
stirs from the skies above
like a cold chill rushed upon my face

searching - for what awaits us
set a course for a new shore
for what tomorrow will bring

plunging the northern seas
winds fill the sails
as we approach another world
that time has forgotten me
the sun blinds and circles me

no man is an island
no footsteps have walked these shores
discoveries on virgin soil
let the Expedition begin

searching - for what awaits us
set a course for a new shore
for what tomorrow will bring

I look into the black horizon
the more i see the more i know
I try to justify the wars won
but that won't satisfy my soul

I hold the future in my hand
but I could easily destroy
I see the footprints in the sand
they seem to vanish in the void

can I walk away
can I choose to stay
feel I'm getting near
voices that I hear

sail away, follow the sacred heart
chase the sun, one with the moon and stars
sail away, You'll find the promised land
in your hand, there is a New Millennium

I wish wouldn't have to worry
about the life that lies ahead
but when the present turns tomorrow
I shall remember what they said

feel I'm getting near
voices that I hear

sail away, follow the sacred heart
chase the sun, one with the moon and stars
sail away, you'll find the promised land
in your hand, there is a New Millennium

can you remember the morning
I told you goodbye
just when a new was dawning
a piece of me died

somehow I have to try to
getting used to being alone
If I could only hold you once again
I'd never let go

save me a prayer
when day turns to night
lord won't you
show me the light

one day - I'll find back to my heart and soul again
one day - I swear swear by your name

memories keep me awake
and you're there by my side
I wonder if its only in my mind
that I am alive

save me a prayer
when day turns to night
lord won't you
tell me I'm right

one day - I'll find back to my heart and soul again
one day - I swear swear by your name

one day - I'll find back to my heart and soul again
one day - I swear swear by your name X2

Sail across the seven seas

Due to the legend a new king will come
Rise in the morning horizon
Brave and believing for wars to be won
Born with the heart of a lion

launch the silver spear
the world will cry a tear
in the heavens will appear
another angel
hear the elders cry
waiting for their time
as they look towards the heavens
why won't they answer?

we are playing with nature
splitting the atom
confusing religions
killing the masses
we are not separate
from what we destroy
time has com for us
to make the only choice

we are not separate
from what we destroy
time has come for us
to make the only choice

we rape for our power
not caring for life
we tarnish our waters
'til they are as black as night

we visualize the future
with the eyes of the blind
we hear nature calling
but we still deny

we are not separate
from what we destroy
time has come for us
to make the only choice

I've been witness to so many wars
that I'm blind to affliction
no ability left to remorse
it's my faith and conviction

wide awake
in this world
full of hate
I unfurl

but I am damned
if life itself is condemnation
I am immortal
thus my freedom is captivity

flying all across the highlands
searching for a way
to finalize my history
rising high above the mountains
reaching for the sky
closer to my sanctuary

all my life I've been trying to die
reach complete segregation
I am ready to open my eyes
to a new revelation

lost in time
there's no place
for my soul
in his embrace

for I am damned
if life itself is condemnation
I am immortal
thus my freedom is captivity
bound to live eternally

little by little
I've come to this point
on my own I've been searching my way
I lost you so early
the days went so fast
you don't know I prayed every day

a song to remember
a song to forget
you'll never know how I tried
to make you proud
and to honor your name but
you never told me goodbye

now that your are gone
casting shadows from the past
you and all the memories will last

don't you cry
or suffer over me
I will be waiting for you
don't you cry
angels never fade away
I'll be watching over you
see you through

now I'm a man and
I'm feeling you still
could it be you were there all along
a time to surrender
a time to forgive
with solace I give you this song

now that you are gone
casting shadows from the past
in my dreams I hear your voice at last

don't you cry
or suffer over me
I will be waiting for you
don't you cry
angels never fade away
I'll be watching over you

I can see you tonight
in the pale winter light
father and son again
the bond of blood will never end

breathe in deep
smell these halls of hate
carve your name into these walls
before it is too late

cold and twisted
they resisted
what was I to do
all I ever wanted was
a fraction of the truth

walking in the shadows
of my blackened mind
lost inside this shallow
vanity of time

what if there's a God a hell and heaven
fire is the torment I must face
dying by the souls I have forsaken
no one's going to catch my fall from grace

[bleed on me]
watch me from your cage
as I rejoin my painful prime
[suffer and exhale]
you and I are relics
we provoke and we recline

walking in the shadows
of my blackened mind
angels crave my sorrow
sorrow they will find

what if there's a God a hell and heaven
fire is the torment I must face
dying by the souls I have forsaken
no one's going to catch my fall from grace

mirror can you tell me
how to stay forever young
let me know the secret
I will hold my twisted tongue

please protect my beauty
velvet skin so pure and white
hear my name resounding
like a hymn at dead of night

once I struck a servant
she's a virgin free from sin
drops of blood caressed me
and refined my aging skin

could this be the answer
uncorrupted carmine red
voices keep resounding
in my dazed bewildered head

have I found myself eternity
someone has heard my prayers
now I'll become divine

have I found myself divinity
I'm no longer a slave
to the vicious hands of time

mother can you hold me
one more time again
whisper "I still love you" in my ear
mother did you lie
would you tell me why
there is something deeper that I fear

justify the evil I portray
daggers in the darkness find your way
when the moon is full and piercing bright
drench me with your innocence tonight

don't you want to die
walk beside me evermore
don't you feel alive
like you've never felt before

visions of the future
unprofound and blurred
I have passed the point of no return

justify the evil I portray
let me keep my beauty one more day
when the moon is full and piercing bright
drench me with your innocence tonight

don't you want to die
walk beside me evermore
don't you feel alive
like you've never felt before

don't you want to die
souls transcending, silver shine
don't you feel alive
your blood preserves my place in time

there's a pain within
that I can't define
there's an empty space
where your love used to shine
from the night we met
till the day you died
do you think I wished
do you still believe I tried

all too soon we were divided
and life had just begun

will you revive
from the chaos in my mind
where we still are bound together
will you be there
waiting by the gates of dawn
when I close my eyes forever

I belong to you
you belong to me
it's the way things are
always meant to be
like the morning star
and the rising sun
you convey my life
and forgive me what I've done

all too soon we were divided
in darkness and light

will you revive
from the chaos in my mind
where we still are bound together
will you be there
waiting by the gates of dawn
when I close my eyes forever

save me
reverse how I'm thinking of you
every breath I take
brings me closer
closer to forever, to you
I'm waiting for the day that I'm gone

I am a king of honor
gold and glory
but every king must also die
have I been just and righteous
what is glory
I know I've torn and taken life

and here I stand
a small and simple man

who will trade his karma for my kingdom
a sacrificial rite to render truth
the fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
cause all you do in life comes back to you

I am a king in crisis
counting minutes
there is an ending to my reign
my sins have come to face me
I can feel it
that I have lived my life in vain

and now I know I'll reap
the seeds I've sown

who will trade his karma for my kingdom
a sacrificial rite to render truth
the fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
cause all you do in life comes back to you

am I mad
I feel so void and cold
who can tell
who holds the stories untold
tired and trembling
I am descending
will I have to stay here
and live this life again

long time ago
the seed was sown
a child born in Uther's name
concieved in sin
the future King
a new realm of truth proclaimed

they came from far
to meet this man
they saw he was just and wise
the flags unfold
the fires rise
reflecting the force in his eyes

fighting for the crown
pride and honor to be found

born from sin
into Merlin's hand
once and future king
vowed to return again

in moonlit haze
among the hills
Sir Mordred, Morgana's shade
would slay his king
forever cling
to darkness his powers fade

fighting for the crown
pride and honor to be found

born from sin
into Merlin's hand
once and future king
vowed to return again

Bedivere, my best of knights
this sword I beg you take
to the place where it belongs
and throw it in the lake

into the war
forever more
the people shall follow the chosen one
as when alive
his will survives
to rest on the island of Avalon

fighting for the crown
pride and honor to be found

born from sin
into Merlin's hand
once and future king
vowed to return again

born from sin
into Merlin's hand
once and future king
vowed to return again

I see you when it snows
in crystals dancing down
from a sultry sky
when silence is pure and unbreakable

I can see you smiling
in every frozen tear
I can hear you whisper "You and I"

little did we know
that they were life itself
the days passing by
we both had our share in the sacrifice

once upon a time
we had something beautiful
once upon a time
I thought "you and I"

take me wherever
the answer lingers in the sand
show me the way as the story unfolds
love is remote
in this wailing winter wonderland
show me the way to the temples of gold

bless me with a kiss
across the universe
when day and night converge
and whisper my name till I fall asleep

tell me tales from days bygone
tell me little lies
tell me once again it's just "you and I"

yet a day is dawning
I am sad but also strong
this gift that I've been given
tells me where I do belong

falling I'm falling down
and you recall my strength
time will slowly pull me under
but you will catch my breath

this is a praise to all of you

cause the light I shine on you
is what you gave to me
I'm a crystal clear and true
I'm your cairn and creed

you think that I'm a mountain
but there's a price I have to pay
for the love I have forsaken
can never be replaced

crying I'm crying out
be careful with my soul
unbounded I'm like water
but so fragile in the cold

and this is a praise to all of you

cause the light I shine on you
is what you gave to me
I'm a crystal clear and true
I'm your cairn and creed

the mysteries of life
take us high and low
the road can be long
it seems
someone is lost
but no one is free

falling I'm falling down
into your open arms
each and every gathered glow
maintains my shining star

this is a praise to all of you...

where has all the magic gone
lost behind or lost along
a victim of the pulse of our society
don't you miss the ancient times
the riddles and the subtle signs
a relative perspective on reality

I get stronger in the splendor
of a lucid moon
I'm a creature of the night

all my demons cast a spell
the souls of dusk rising from the ashes
so the book of shadows tell
the weak will always obey the master

heading for the dragons lair
another time and a different sphere
I leave the nothingness behind
and when the sense of logic yields
I'll escape the outer shields
into the universal mind

I get stronger in the splendor
of a lucid moon
only creatures of the night
can heal my wounds

sometimes my visions
are distant and vague
down at the base
of the mountain
once in a while I am
weak and afraid
tired and sick of it all

I don't believe
that my story is set
nothing is destined
or blatant
bound to this body
a world full of hate
no one will heed if I fall

no one can see it
but you know that it's there
guiding the steps of your soul
holding the truth
in the cross that you bear
die with a heart that is bold

fly on the wings of despair
no one is holding you back
the call of the wild is internal
conquer the silence you fear
tomorrow will not fade to black
a new day is dawning
remember
no one's controlling your fate

the questions are more
than the answers I know
that doesn't mean you are lonely
searching for more
consecutive goal's
making it worth to go on

no one can see it
but you know that it's there
guiding the steps of your soul
holding the truth
in the cross that you bear
die with a heart that is bold

fly on the wings of despair
no one is holding you back
the call of the wild is internal
conquer the silence you fear
tomorrow will not fade to black
a new day is dawning
remember
no one's controlling your fate

you, and you alone
is forging the path
leave your sorrows with the past

never believe
that the story is set
nothing is destined
or blatant
bound to this body
a world full of hate
no one will heed if you fall

[Mephisto]
Everyone is here
The feast can soon begin
Vanity we celebrate
My favourite of sins

[Ariel]
Chandeliers so grand
That heaven sees the shine
And my friend declares
Everything I look at could be mine

It's a miracle
Life till now has been a waste
You have proved to me
By your hand I'm truly graced
Unbelievable
Gold and glitter blinding me
So adorable
All these women from my fantasies

[Mephisto]
Come with me my little ones
Let's revel for the free
Raise your glass and praise the fact
How easy life can be

[Ariel]
In the splendour of the night
I've found company
Once again I feel that life's begun
All the wrongs seem to be right
Drowned in ecstasy
Every star is like a newborn sun

In the splendour of the night
I've found company
Once again I feel that life's begun
All the wrongs seem to be right
Drowned in ecstasy
Every star is like a newborn sun

May the life I knew be gone
I accept the deed
But one point we have to modify
If I wish to linger on
In a state of still
Only then I'm yours the day I die

Move slowly
Beyond the colors of my eyes
Move slowly
Into the corners of my mind
Rising like the Pegasus
Each and every one of us
Released
Islands in the sea of dreams
Always searching harmony
And peace

All we find
Reject our mind
Don't you wonder why

If the war by heavens gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone

Show me sign of paradise
A place we all would like to go to
Tell me what to sacrifice
So there's a chance for me to want you

All I find
Reject my mind
And I wonder why

If the war by heavens gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone

I have a tale to be told won't you listen tonight
Follow me into the core of the fountain of light
Try to imagine that hope is our ship for the soul
(Over the ocean the quest of your life lies ahead)
Maybe together we'll find there's a place for us all
(Follow the star in your mind, sail along sail along)

Mephisto:
Speak my friend
You look surprised
I thought you knew
I'd come disguised
On angel wings... in white
I can make
Your dreams come true
What a couple...
Me and you
On journey through the night

I will show you everything so vividly
You can't deny me

Bathed in moonlight
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
Will be mine the day you die

Name a pleasure
One... a few
Any form
Of lust in you
Will tremble at my touch
I come down from heaven's light
I have all the perfect alibis
There's so much...

I will show you everything so vividly
You won't deny me

Bathed in moonlight
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
Will be mine the day you die

Call my name or carry on
Till that last resistance gone
I'm sure we'll meet again

I'm your true disciple
When the flesh desires
You won't deny me

Bathed in moonlight
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
will be mine the day you die

Bathed in moonlight
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
will be mine the day you die

Take your time...

Winter's close and the mountain high
I'll start my journey now
On this planet we call Earth we belong
I want to know
Why did god make me feel there is more to be answered
Maybe god cannot remedy our souls if he tried

I seek peace of mind at least and to know I did my best
I will pray for those I have loved

I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey

I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
Lead me an ocean away

No one holds the only truth in his hands
So who am I
To defy even god in quest for a reason
There's no time to waste I'm afraid

I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey

I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
Lead me an ocean away
So far away

When the tide is high
I won't dwell or wait no longer

There's no time to waste I'm afraid

I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey
(I must take your farewell)

I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
(Ooh)

I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey
(Bound to obey)

I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
Lead me an ocean away

(HELENA:)
I remember a song
From long ago
Some of the pieces
They remind me of you
How could I know
You were to leave me
I thought that I was that melody
Oh so wrong
I'm but a whisper tonight

And if this is goodbye
I will leave
But I'll love you
Until the end

(RIVER SPIRIT:)
If the grace of God is real
And the word of Christ can heal
Bring their souls to heaven's light
Bless the unborn child tonight

(Mephisto:)
When you play with fire
You must anticipate some burns
Chasing for desire...
It's just a different way to learn

(Ariel:)
I am defected from God
(God had seized my soul)
So low redemptions too far
(I am heaven's sheen)
She's the one that I loved
(Love is all around)
And she tore me apart
(The dark can never win)

(Mephisto:)
All that I require
Is some trust as the pages turn
I can take you higher
Cause your will is my concern

(Ariel:)
I am defected from God
(God had seized my soul)
So low redemptions too far
(I am heaven's sheen)
She's the one that I loved
(Love is all around)
And she tore me apart
(The dark can never win)

So long, maybe forever
I must carry on

Why did God take away
That one thing I wanted
Maybe God is the melody
We all serenade

(Mephisto:)
You would not feel sadness
If you never tasted joy
That's the curse of humans
Born in passion you destroy

(Ariel:)
I am defected from God
(God had seized my soul)
So low redemptions too far
(I am heaven's sheen)
She's the one that I loved
(Love is all around)
And she tore me apart
(The dark can never win)

I am breathless
Need I say
How could you find me here
You, of all have crossed my way
Unexpectedly... from where
I feel like I am dreaming
Hold me close
Tomorrow may be gone

This is a moment
Of belief
This is a moment
Made of dreams
You found me here today
On the coldest winter night
This moment is our right

Now, Helena tell me all
For years we've been apart
Did you hear the mountain fall
...my broken heart
Don't wake me if I'm dreaming
Hush my dear
Because tomorrow may be gone

Lost in the present
I'm sure
This is the moment
Say no more
You found me here today
On the coldest winter night
This moment is our right

This is a moment
Of belief
This is a moment
Made of dreams
You found me here today
On the coldest winter night
This moment is our right

"All that you see or seem, is but a dream within a dream"
[Edgar Allan Poe]

Sleepless
Not really quite awake
Where the soul conforms
To deeper needs
Free within frames of custody
I revolve my spirit and exhale

On the edge of paradise
Poison burning
In my veins
Unavailing...compromised
My dreams remain the same

Soothing but yet so violent
In this world within the other world
Moonlight...in visions...heaven sent
I see demon eyes and wings unfurled

On the edge of paradise
Poison burning
In my veins
Unavailing...compromised
My dreams remain the same

On the edge of paradise
Powerless
I sail on by
Undermining life itself
My will to wonder why

I just had a dream
She was by the riverside
Alone and dressed in white
Paling in the cold
Walking on the icy face
On memories of glory days

Carry on
Carry on
Meet me on the other side
Once the mourning after turns to day

Carry on
Carry on
Keep on to the other side
The mourning after slowly fades

How could I have known
Just the thought is simply wild
In her womb...a little child
I am left to roam
On the surface of a dream
In a world that can't be seen

Carry on
Carry on
Meet me on the other side
Once the mourning after turns to day

Carry on
Carry on
Keep on to the other side
The mourning after slowly fades

Carry on
Carry on
Just you carry on
Till the mourning is over

Carry on
Carry on
Just you carry on
Till the mourning after leaves

Carry on
Carry on
Meet me on the other side
Once the mourning after turns to day

Carry on
Carry on
Keep on to the other side
The mourning after slowly fades


Carry on
Carry on
Maybe in another life
Once the mourning after turns to day


Carry on
Carry on
Cross the water, cross the tide
The mourning after...

I recall one summer's night
Within the month of June
Flowers in mahogany hair
And smell of earth in bloom
Only such a melody
Comes without a sound
More than faintly heard by those
Who know what they have found
Now it's just a memory

Silently we wander
Into this void of consequence
My shade will always haunt her
But she will be
My guiding light

Silently we wander
In search of truth and confidence
So many hopes were lost here
Along the way
From morning to night

Meet me by the wishing well
In cover of the moon
Whisper to me tenderly
That I will see you soon
Sing that song from long ago
So I remember you
Flowers in mahogany hair
And mellow days in June
Only for the memory

Silently we wander
Into this void of consequence
My shade will always haunt her
But she will be
My guiding light

Silently we wander
In search of truth and confidence
So many hopes were lost here
Along the way
From morning to night

From ashes we were born
In silence we unite

Silently we wander
Into this void of consequence
My shade will always haunt her
But she will be
My guiding light

Silently we wander
In search of truth and confidence
So many hopes were lost here
Along the way
From morning to night

Silently we wander
Into this void of consequence
My shade will always haunt her
But she will be
My guiding light

Silently we wander
In search of truth and confidence
So many hopes were lost here
Along the way

Once my life was plain and clear
I recall
Once my ignorance was bliss
Nightfall came
Like a serpent's kiss
To my troubled mind

Why, oh why my God
Have you abandoned me
In my sobriety
Behind the old facade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me cross the river wide

Binding promises were made
On my soul
Grand illusions lead astray
Ice cold winds swept my heart away
Bring me back to you

Why, oh why my God
Have you abandoned me
In my sobriety
Behind the old facade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me cross the river wide

(Helena)
I remember a song
Like in a dream
Where September was long
And winter unreal

Why, oh why my God above
Have you abandoned me
In my sobriety
Behind the old facade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me cross the river wide

One other year has left my life
One year bygone so soon
These were the days I sacrificed
These days were lived for you

Some came with winter in white
Some days were blown away
Some came with sultry summer nights
Some with October rain

Oh, how I long for utter silence
But who am I to know
When rain will turn to snow?
If life brings another day

English translation:
Aspirat primo fortuna labori The fortune is smiling at our first effort
Me duce tutus eris Let me lead you and you will be safe
Vox populi vox dei The voice of people, voice of god
Ad maiorem dei gloriam... For bigger glory of the god
Ad infinitum To the infinity

You know just who I am
Don't be so distant
'Cause when you're lost, I am solely there
To share your grief

Wailing your sorrow is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow, you're lonely, I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth

Now tell me all about your pain
Down to the detail
Don't say it's love
Your fragile heart feeds my contempt

Wailing your sorrow is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow, you're lonely, I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth

Chase the heathen call
We belong, you and I
Unison in all you deny

Wailing your sorrow is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow, you're lonely, I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth

I am the thorn in your side that seeks accomplishment
Reminding the mortal of death
I am the spore of your pride, an angel, Heaven-sent
The master of all
I am the urge of the flesh

Who wants to separate
The world we know from our beliefs
And who sees only black and white
Distinguish loss from sacrifice
Some day we may come to peace
With the world within ourselves
And I will await you until I close my eyes
Close my eyes
Close my eyes

When your time has come you know you'll be lonely
Once again
And the final winter comes to us all
Life is treacherous but you're not the only
Who must pretend

We're a second in time
We're the last in the line
Of the prey that walks the earth
Good and evil combined

I am the god in my own history
The master of the game
I may believe if she would come to me
And whisper out my name
Sometimes I wonder where the wind has gone
If life has ever been
Sometimes I wonder how belief alone
Can cut me free from sin

When you close your eyes mementos of summer
Retrieves your mind
Like a drizzle afternoon cleans the air
When the winter blows you're glad you remember
You really tried

And it comes to an end
Even winter... life fall
And we all have our beliefs
Pray for mercy for all
Mercy for all
Pray for mercy for all

I am a man without a mystery
The deal is done within
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze
And pay for every sin

(Helena)
VICTORIA, NON PRAEDA
MEMENTO MORI

(Mephisto)
UNA VOCE... VOLO, NON VALEO
DULCE ET DECORUM EST
PRO PATRIA MORI
MEMENTO MORI

(Ariel)
So subservant in your embrace
No more denial
No run away
This is the final
My last recall
And that's the price for what we learn
The more we know the more we yearn
Cause we're so alone

I am a man without a mystery
The deal is done within
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze
The journey can begin
I'm still the god in my own history
I still believe that she will come to me
And whisper out my name

Some day we will come to peace
And reach beyond behind the lies
And I will await you
Until I close my eyes
Close my eyes
Close my eyes

(Helena)
Ariel, Ariel, Ariel, Ariel...

I have never craved the system's sympathy
I get restless over pity smiles
Some precaution wouldn't harm my history
If I had the will to wait a little while

You cut the silence like a knife
You know I can't repent for all

Moonlight falling over me
Sail on where the shadows hide
Moonlight crawling down on me
Just like you could not compete with my pride

Compensation for a misconducted life
Is it way too much to ask
Hard to wake up
With your heart and soul deprived
When the morning comes
The second to your last

You cut the silence like a knife
At the edge of my last defenses
You cut the silence like a knife
You know I won't repent for all

Moonlight falling over me
Sail on where the shadows hide
Moonlight crawling down on me
Just like you could not compete with my pride

Shine on silver from the sky into the night
Gaia shivers and I need your leading light

Moonlight falling over me
Sail on where the shadows hide
Moonlight crawling down on me
Just like you could not compete with my pride

Here we are
Under the same old sun
All alone yet somehow bound and unified
Dust to dust
Ashes to ashes won't take long
We search for a harbour
Somewhere to belong

They say that faith is all you need
To stay forever young
What you've sown is what you reap
Our sins can't be undone

There is a god in each society
So right is wrong where wrong is right
No one could be sure
Still we are certain
That what we know is truth
The only truth
We're building our temples taller

They say that faith is all you need
To stay forever young
What you've sown is what you reap
Our sins can't be undone
How can we trust them once again
They used to tell us lies
And their voices will sustain
Cause nothing ever dies

Love, love is the only truth
Pure as the well of youth
Until it breaks your heart
You took me higher
Than the mountains I have climbed
You, you waited all your life for me
You left me all alone behind
But we'll meet again
We will meet again

All alone

They say that faith is all you need
To stay forever young
What you've sown is what you reap
Our sins can't be undone
How can we trust them once again
They used to tell us lies
And their voices will sustain
Cause nothing ever dies

Songs of pain and soothing lullabies
Songs of happiness and some that make us cry
One song we share
The cross we all bear
One that segregates
One that unifies

All we wonder
No one ever denies
If once given life we must die

So bow down with me
Where summer fades into fall
And leave your hatchets of hate
Bow down with me
And sing the saddest of all
The song we all serenade

The more we know
The less we understand
Life... eternity
The savagery of man
We want it all
Aimed at the fall
What is destiny with the masterplan

All we wonder
No one ever denies
If once given life we must die

So bow down with me
Where summer fades into fall
And leave your hatchets of hate
Bow down with me
And sing the saddest of all
The song we all serenade

Hold on now
Don't leave don't let it go
Dance away the waltz of life
Right or wrong
The seed we never sow
That's our loss
Our sacrifice

What does the winter bring
If not yet another spring

If my soul could revive from my carnal remains
What does it matter to me
If it all fades to black, if I'm born once again
Then no one really is free
How could I be condemned for the things that I've done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know some things under the sun
Can never be understood

How can we believe in heaven
Human reason counters all
Ideas of soul society
My life is just a fragment
Of the universe and all
There must be more than I can see

In the dark we're the same, in the concept of time
We're like a grain in the sand
And we strive for the flame as if death was our aim
Cause we cannot understand

How I wish there was a heaven
All for one and one for all
A flawless strong society
Our lives are just a fragment
Of the universe and all
There may be more than we can see

How could I be condemned for the things that I've done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know, some things under the sun
Can never be understood

How can we believe in heaven
All for one and one for all
Ideas of soul society
Our lives are just a fragment
Of the universe and all
There may be more than we can see

If my soul could revive from my carnal remains
What does it matter to me
If it all fades to black, if I'm born once again
Then no one really is free
How could I be condemned for the things that I've done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know some things under the sun
Can never be understood

How can we believe in heaven
Human reason counters all
Ideas of soul society
My life is just a fragment
Of the universe and all
There must be more than I can see

In the dark we're the same, in the concept of time
We're like a grain in the sand
And we strive for the flame as if death was our aim
Cause we cannot understand

How I wish there was a heaven
All for one and one for all
A flawless strong society
Our lives are just a fragment
Of the universe and all
There may be more than we can see

How could I be condemned for the things that I've done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know, some things under the sun
Can never be understood

How can we believe in heaven
All for one and one for all
Ideas of soul society
Our lives are just a fragment
Of the universe and all
There may be more than we can see

Come wind, come snow, come winterland
I have resigned myself to death
Come will to show the hidden hand
So I can draw my final breath

You could take me higher
So you said, I trusted you
I may be a liar
But betrayal lies on you

I can feel when the journey ends
Final call for a last defence

Darkness come tonight
I have no fear of what you hold
Darkness come alive
You are the stories I've been told

I possess the power
Of survival in the cold
Life is like a flower
As it stumbles out of fall

We all know when our time has come
This is where I will linger on

Darkness come tonight
I have no fear of what you hold
Darkness come alive
You are the stories I've been told

Darkness come tonight
Nothing can take my faith away
Darkness come alive
Life fades to black from silver grey

Darkness come tonight
I have no fear of what you hold
Darkness come alive
You are the stories I've been told

Darkness come tonight
Nothing can take my faith away
Darkness come alive
Life fades to black from silver grey
