MAJESTY

Now the time has come for me to leave this land
Take my charge with pride sacrifice
Running and hiding I'm left for the time
To bring back the order of devine
Hunted by goblins no Gandalf to help
With swords in the night
Oh the last part of the game
Decision of death and life
Blood for Sauron they'll call tonight
The final battle cry
Running and hiding I'm left for the time
To bring back the order of devine
There exist no tales and hobbits are crying for all
Children of death
I have a dream the things you've to hide for
Deliver our kingdom and our reich
Don't fall in panic just give me the thing
That I need or I kill
Don't run away for what have I done

Ref.:
Oh majesty your kingdom is lost
And you'll leave us behind
Oh majesty your kingdom is lost
And ruins remind of your time
Now come back

(Solo)

Ref.
Run, run, run

Cries Cries in a dark land
Hear the voice it's cold as ice
Eyes they are watching
They look for me but cannot find
Creature is following no place to escape
My last steps will find the right way
Where's the future the call of the blind
Cause there is none to find
Watch the sky you see no light
My weapons burst with fear
With the howling wolves the nazgul will die
For all Children of death
Cries Cries in a dark land
Hear the voice it's cold as ice
Eyes they are watching
They look for me but cannot find
Run Run for the whole world
It's time you cannot wait
Lost Lost in a dark world
You feel the strange but cannot see
Too many battles we carry along from the war
And too many frightens we feel from his law
For so many victories we're praising so strong
For so many blood we've lost

Ref.
Run, run



GUARDIAN OF THE BLIND

Extermination thunder the strange one is
back again
Lost by our only power it's aura will grind us
out forever
Fall into a dark dream that we got once
the part it's real you won't believe
We're watching our own agony many years ago
Seven little children stand against the ghost
Believing is the answer but you've lost before
Find back to your infancy it's time to die
I've been the herdsman you've been my sheep
I find taste on lampskin everything's allright
killing for the thirst for small children sweat
I give them illusions to raise their fear
Hear the crying dying child it's music to my ears
Feel the sweetness of it's death everything's allright
But there's a new feeling I've never known
There must be a third one a mighty guardian

Ref.:
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Now it feel the curse of heaven
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Now it feel the curse of the child

(Solo)

Dark is it's world. and lonely we're reaching it
again
Fear our returning visions to madness we'll
fall
if we can't kill the beast forever
we must die now
One has blown his life away
Once we were a circle fighting hand in hand
Our weapons were illusions to let it feel the pain
By the sweet taste of our live it call us back again
We'll find the answer it's time to die
By a ritual we've hurt it but we've not kill
little Billy you must find your way
Believe in you we ask for
but where
we can never find
there must be a sign for the
Guardian of the Blind

Ref.:
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Now it feel the curse of heaven
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind

Come to it's world following the sign
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Give us the help we're waiting for your sign
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind

 

WIZARD'S CROWN

Years ago I came back
this has been my hardest attack
A burning fire's in my brain
I could feel the deadly flame
Tales of the magic in my head
to a dark dream I fall in my mind
I hold the key of fortune
To feel the strange thing's in my mind
the stone of Ambar I must find
I'll take the chance that day

Ref.:
Halloween - The wizards crown I'll take on
Halloween
Halloween - But there is no return on Halloween

I'm the servant of the Blind to cross the
realms of death
the gate is open wide you cannot close
His dungeons deep no place to hide
The times have changed he has to fight
In magic spell I fall
Illusions falling in my mind
But where's the key I cannot find
the ritual has begun

Ref.

(Solo)

The battle has begunn
the warlocks time has come
I pay the price I've to pay
Why haven't see the signs

RUN FOR THE NIGHT

There comes the last part and end of our old age
with thunder and lightning the dark lord is taking
the crown of the whole world
his creature will kill me and poisons my soul
to the end I'll fight but I know that the things
that I do are so meanless - Oh no

I see the hill but it's so far away
I know I can't reach it
but I try it again and again in my dark dreams
he's waysting my last will how long can I stay here
when the mightiest of all will now

Ref.:
Run for the Night burn away
the times of his fall I've to pay

Visions of darkness prepared for the last strike
and blooddlust their weapons and madness
you see their
eyes there's no way out
I'm lost in a dark dream and losing control
to the end I'll fight but I know that the things
that I do are so meanless - Oh no
I see the hill but it's so far away
I know I can't reach it
but try it again and again in my dark dreams
he's waysting my last will
how long can I stey here
whe the mightiest of all will now

Ref.

You see them running in the shadows of the night

THE MARTYR

He was born in the past time
To take all our pain
The kingdom of heaven's near
The children of this time
Must die for his arrive
To let all the legends be true
The prophecy said they'll call king of the jews
He is born now to take all our sins
Three kings were searching for this holy child
The journey begins, he has to die

(Lead)
(Bridge)

Healing the cripples and taking our pain
He came for the sinner
But what we've said
Disciples are following
They are calling his words
Salt of the earth and light of the world

Ref.:
Martyr - we are following you
Bless us for eternity
Messiah - we are torturing you
When you lose the power of your words

Jump from the temple and angle will save
Show me that you are the son of our God
Now take my land with my power you get
Rulin' the world of tomorrow
Messiah (*) our burning desire (*) (palabra incomprensible)
He is the king without a crown 
We'll set him to his throne
Give me 30 p of silver and I'll be your man
Higher (*) the fallen Messiah
Let us see his agony
The things he done are blasphemy
Mob has lost their joy on toy
So let us kill him fast
Now drink my blood for the new testament
This is my body you eat
One of you twelve is the one who betrays
Better that he's never born
Judas you're the chosen one
The world has damned your name

(Lead)
(Bridge)

Begin with a kiss
At a cross it will end
The kingdom of heaven we've passed
The sky will turn black and the curtain will fall
The father's crying for his son
The tortured Messiah is finding his way
The journey has come to the end
The twelve ones are preaching the words he'd left
They're changing the way of the world but die for

(Solo)

Ref.

Martyr - we are following you
Bless us for eternity
No

 

BATTALIONS OF FEAR

Can't believe the things I see
That happens in the state
By a mortal distance that I can't believe
Self destructive infernal 
To save us from the breed
But I know that it is all a lie
Star wars begin now
His bombs can exploding 
(?? Difficult to read on the copy. 
To bring back the dead of the night 
Seems that Hansi's English once was
No mercy he's knowing 
more than bad...)
How strong he must show us 
For the last blow you all get a part 
Be by my side 
Or you are to die 
Believe what I do is the right 
Soon Armageddon 
Last hours are run now 
The final solution begins 
The words of a madman 
No children to tell them 
For what they'll not see in the light 
Choose by your voice 
He kills and destroys 
At the end you must die for the night 
A rather chess games 
We're playing the part of a soldier
But now we are not qualified
To save our own life
The traps are all placed by command
They are ready to strike
We live and we'll die 
By the lies to believe

(Lead)

PreChorus:
Try to escape from this suicide dreams
Or past time will come back again
Hiroshima is a joke to that what will come
At the end of the game we all die
Die now

Ref.:
Battalions of fear
They search and they scream
For the American dreams
Battalions of fear
The way of R.R.
To show he is the star
Battalions

(Solo)

Star wars

(Solo)

With hands full of blood
He talks about peace
With snake poisoning tongue
He's praying
El Salvador and Vietnam
You soon fast forget
But you satisfy on Afghanistan
You've been the master
You kill with a laughter
Your screams of peace are wrong and loud
Cause so we are and here we are
We scream and shout!
Your laughing about all the fools
Scream and shout!
With power of evil they stand

PreChorus, repeat
Ref, repeat

Hall of the King

Fast to Madness

Valhalla



BANISH FROM SANCTUARY

In deserts I was preaching
the hand of god was with me
baptized with water and I praised
the one who came behind me
to save us all with the holy ghost
- a prophet of the fools I've been 
lost

I'm sure you're there wandering around
but do you care for me
I'm alone
you talk of love not for me
in my dungeon cold I could think about
all the things you've said
but I can't understand you famous son
(Lead: André)

I left the way of heaven
or did you lead me from it

Ref.:
No No turning back
I'm banished from Sanctuary
the darkness in me 
is filling me with pain
there's no way to turn back for eternity

In shadows I'm walking
and caught in loneliness
deliverance I wait for but how long?
are you the one who should come
show me the light in you
or should we wait for someone?
Another!

Ref.: No...
(Solo: André / Lead: Marcus / André)

Your reich should come to this world
your way smoothed by my blood, friend
my might will decrease but you'll get
high, yes so much higher
be careful of the rats, friend
cause they'll never sleep
before they catch you, too

The blind can see the sun
cripples walk alone
the deaf can hear my words
they believe just believe
they believe in me
Look! The signs are near
to perform my task 
to perform my way
to perform the way I walked
the way of the crucifix
(Lead: André)

I hear the hangman coming
I wait for execution

Ref.: No...

(Lead: André)

Damned for all Time - but what's time ?
Tales of the one who's born to change

And as the earth was old and cold
she closed her eyes and fell to sleep
violation ruled the world

He's called Hawkmoon wearing a sign
black jewel in his head
he's the one who's forever there
he's born a thousend times

Ref.:
Damned for all Time
in every age he existed
Damned for all Time
in every future he'll live
for all Time he's crying
he's crying

Hey strange one I know
you're standing there
the faces are they mine ?
Are you out there ?
Watch out for the day, fiend
I'll kmow your name
hear my laughter

Oblivion - who's blowing the horn
Oblivion - who's killing the gods

Ref.: Damned...

(Solo: André)

Dark kingdom's lost now

strange things are happening
changing of all planes
in the universe by a mad magican
to conquer the power of his magic
a place where truth waits must
be found Tanelorn
(Lead: André)

Damned for all Time - who am I ?
Once I've been called Erekose

I was Elric - I'll be Corum

Oblivion - the war is eternal
Oblivion - the battle is endless

Ref.: Damned...

 

FOLLOW THE BLIND

Follow the Blind
Your journey, your last hope, it can begin
these passing dreams
were real no fantasy
there are more things than we know
come take my hand
(Solo: André)

Searching for the talisman you'll find it
on another plane far from all time
maybe you wonder while you see
the same faces
everywhere
you can find yourself in it
cause you're a part

I'm another
strange my feelings
where am I here
for a short time
I remember I had been here
(Solo: Marcus)

Ref.:
I'm alone, follow me!
Calling you, follow me!
I'm alone, follow me!
Follow me
Follow me it's my time

Wandering around in my darkest dreams
iron shadows are lurking at me
in this desert the tyrant's calling
On the run to save my Love
she's full of pain
the queen is lying far behind
in an endless dream
(Solo: André)

Before I thought I was dreaming
a strange voice whispers in my ears
you're the rat in the trap
return, or pain will come to you

Ref.: I'm alone .. ..No!
(Lead: André)

 

HALL OF THE KING

Alone I walk, hearing a voice
that's calling my name
no one should be here
take no one with you
god, why I didn't care

On through death take me away
to the place time will not fade

Colder than dead
darkness - eternity
but look out

A hundred thousand centuries
the sun had never seen
so near but so much too far
eternal place you know what's life
but cannot tell

I can never see you changing
but you look to me
time will never heal your wounds
but you're immortal

Hall of the King a vision of the end
Hall of the King don't cry for us
don't hear us calling
Oh watch out for me Hall of the light
my last sign

You find yourself
just take a look
to see you must open your eyes
like a hawk in the sky
a wonder that dies
don't ask me wy

(Lead: André)

You're the birth and you're the end
you've been hurt but you're not dead
discovering you is what should never be
poisoned are our souls
and dark our hearts
ruins we've left to rule the world
destructive are our minds
it's much too late
(Solo: Kai / Harmony Lead: Kai)

Ref.: Hall...

 

FAST TO MADNESS

(Lead: André)

White hair and red eyes
he's holding the crown
the king of the island
Elric of Melniboné
he's born for destruction
he's ruled by the gods
eternal hero
the scale of the universe

Blood on his hands
he's born a thousand times
why don't we feel the signs
from the dragon king
(Lead: André)

Before the end of fire his journey starts
the eagle's spreading his wings
following his fate
he's ruled from anywhere
leads him to the truth
it's deep inside

Hail to the king
they'll bless tonight
he's the Saviour of our time

In a dark land far behind
no one knows it's name
there's a dark sword cold as ice
a blade created for him

Stormbringer cries
for the soul of everyone
Stormbringer crues
"The ending has begun"

Ref.:
Run fast to Madness
Forever I
Run fast to Madness
Leave him alone
(Solo: André)

Ref.: Run...

Destiny's calling him back to the island
And time? time is standing still
time is not real
time is not real

Armed with weapons awaiting the fight
he's leading the dragon
the sun will never rise
creatures are lurking
in darkness they hide
high in the sky the dragon king is flying
(Lead: André)

Hail to the king of Melniboné
he's the Saviour of our time

Mourning deserts rottingness
blade of dark will rise
gods devine
are hiding in the dark
needing Elric's hand

Stormbringer cries:
"I'm forged in darkest time"
Stormbringer cries:
"The ending has begun"

Ref.: Run...
(Harmony Lead: André)

 

VALHALLA

High in the sky where eagles fly
Morgray the dark enters the throne

Open wide the gate, friend
the king will come
blow the horn and praise
the highest Lord
who'll bring the dawn
he's the new god
in the palace of steel
persuade the fate of everyone
the chaos can begin
let it in
(Lead: André)

So many centuries
so many Gods
we were the prisoners 
of our own fantasty
but now we are marching 
against these Gods
I'm the wizard, I will change it all

Ref.:
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me
(Solo: André)

Ref.:
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me

Magic is in me
I'm the lost magic man
never found what I was looking for
now I found it but it's lost

The fortress burns
broken my heart
I leave this world
all Gods are gone

Bridge:
So many centuries
so many Gods
we were the prisoners 
of our own fantasty
but then we had nothing 
who'll lead our life
no, no, we can't live without Gods

Ref.:
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me

at darkest places
I'm crying
"The dragon flies"

I'm a stranger to myself
and I cannot control

nine to the mortal
which cry
(solo: Marcus)

sitting on his throne
in the land so dark
where I've to go

who I am my friend
I'm an Alien so they say
a risk to everyone

NO - Tell me what do they see
NO - Tell me what do they feel
NO - Tell me what do they fear
NO - Tell me what do they see
I'm a dwarf but I know more than You

but I need your helping hand
so far from home where I'm left alone
Did you hear my crying?
Did you hear my crying?

and don't you know I'll come back again
I must go now

Ref.: Goodbye...
(Solo: André) 

I will go home now
I will go home now
much too long I'm forced to stay
in visions I see

see you again at the end?
My tortured soul cannot forget the pain
now I find my way back
I WILL GO HOME NOW
I WILL GO HOME NOW

Ref.: Goodbye...

LOST IN THE TWILIGHT HALL

Awaiting my last breath
the mirror calls my name
it's showing me the way
into the dark
the bridge appears
I jump into the dark side
and hear the voice it's cold as ice
"Welcome to reality"

Where am I now?
Darkness surrounds
can't go forward
can't go back

Kai: I see planets dying
Hansi: I fall into the light
K: a new universe awakes
H: I'm a Traveler in Time
K: pray for the light
H: Where's the key
K: to the gate
H/K: of a new life - no
H: I search for deliverance
K: but I cannot find
(lead: André) 

Ref.: Look behind the mirror
I'm lost in the twilight hall
once I'll be back for a moment in time
that's when the mirror's falling down
(lead: André) 

Take me away
from the place I've been
to another life
in another world
a sign of life
surrounds me now
the bridge appears in the dark
I'm free
I fly alone
leaving the darkness now, forever?
the memories of children
and the wisdom of many lifes
burns deep in me
Where will the light go to?
Where will the light go to?
Is this deliverance?
Is it the end?

Ref.: Look...
(solo: André) 

I'm back there's a new chance for me
and all my memories are gone
I can feel what's happening to me
and the mirrow will burst

Ref.: Look... (2x)

TOMMYKNOCKERS

(lead: André) 
She's opening here eyes
to find the thing
by a touch she's lost
it's waiting for her a long time
the kingdom's lost
cause there's one nail missing
playing with fire
turn of the light
and she'll fall down
playing with her life
but she can't leave it
there's one rhyme in her brain
(lead: André) 

Ref.: Oh, last night and the night before
Tommyknockers, Tommyknockers
knocked at your back door
Tommyknockers
(lead: André) 

The pain in my head
the cycle awakes
I'm on my way to Oz
I want to drink and she wants to dig
she's in trouble oh I know
there's something going wrong
Tommyknockers on their way
What's up in "Leighton Street"?

Ref.: Oh, last night and the night before
Tommyknockers, Tommyknockers
knocked at your back door
(lead: André) 

I'm the hero, I'm back
with weapons and with magic spells
I'll seddle every task
an old, ill and drunken guy
(lead: André) 

The moon is full of blood
I've found her not, not far from home
I should better get away from here
she's on her way to be another one
playing with fire
she can read my thoughts
it's too late
playing with her life
Tommyknockers brought her trouble
(solo: André) 

The ship in the earth I touch
a vibration is filling me
and music in my head
nose is bleeding
and my fall down
filled me up with pain
you'll be like a Tommyknocker
I'll be like you
but there's something going wrong
I read it in your face

Ref.: Oh, last night and the night before
Tommyknockers, Tommyknockers
knocked at your back door
Tommyknockers knocked at your back door
Tommyknockers knocked at your back door

 

ALTAIR 4

At Hilly's show
they didn't know
that the Ending of "Being" is near
I can feel their voices
the old man cries
"Please save the boy
he's caught in a world far behind
from home"
Monster Anne is crying out
"Feel my pain I can't escape"
Bad chances for me

Ref.: Altair 4 (3x)

chosen by their whispering words
What is left behind?
When purple colours turn to black
Can you feel it?
Is there time?
Can you see it?
Is there life?
"Fly away and dream"

(lead: André) 

Far from the land
Where the sun is born
down in the wood "Caladon"
Do you know the place
where the light is never seen
and all the hopes are turned
by the final cry
Turned to Stone (4x)

Whispering tunes in the wind
all hopes are gone with the night
when the old man will never come back
remember his words and his songs
And we see the raven's flying in the distance
but no wizard's singing his song

Ref.: Somebodies out in the night
I fly in time
The last candle will burn
there's hope for everyone
when the last candle burns high
oh it's time for life
(lead: André) 

The elves and gnoms have to hide
when the moon is showing it's face
and raging orcs will set their traps
and the forest will burn
they hate green trees
and love the dark
they don't understand
that they're caught and left alone
they feel the magic in the wind
they're just fear the old man's song
(solo: Kai)

Ref.: Somebodies...

Corrupted old gnom
betrayer of all
you know so much about all
what is your price?

GNOM:
"Too much, too much
you cannot pay with your silver and your gold
there's just a little chance to save the wizard's life
there's just a little chance for all you fools
now pay"
(lead: André) 

And so I walk across the land
and hope to hear the wizard's song

Ref.: Somebodies... (2x)

Outro: Somebodies out there
I feel there's somebody
Somebodies out there
I feel there's somebody

TIME WHAT IS TIME

When the moonchild is crying
And silence has broken
The darkest truth

The things she remembered 
Had never been her own
Replicant or human
I know the way to show
What do I see
What will I find
Know the answer inside
It's your last step

Ref.:
Time what is time
I wish I knew how to tell You why
It hurts to know
Aren't we machines
Time what is time
Unlock the door
And see the truth
Then time is time again

Whispering
These dreams were never mine
It's cold inside
It's gone forever
The things he saw
Who can say what's wrong or right
The vision of a free life
His eyes had seen it all
For what
He's asking
The vision, vision, vision
I know it's all a lie
I'll remember his past life
And I'll remember time

What did I see
What have I done
God I knew the answers
When he felt so tired

Ref.:
Time what is time
Come lock the door don't let me in
I am the one Your destiny
Time what is time
Reality - It hurts me so
When time is time again

(Solo)

Look into my eyes
Feel the fear just for a while
I'm a replicant and I love to live
Is it all over now
Only these years
I'll leave but I'm singing

Ref.:
Time what is time
He saw it clearly it's too late
It does not heal but it lets us forget
Time what is time
We'll never know
So don't take care
Then time is time again

Should I forget
The way I feel
God he knows how long I tried
Feel there is no reason to cry
I live my life
In fortune dreams forever

 

JOURNEY THROUGH THE DARK

Many songs I've written
About the things I saw
My inner soul's a wasteland
I can't run away from here
Try to find them
All the lost thoughts in my mind
I woke up on a hill
So many times before
Yesterday seems like a dream no more
Frozen memories laughing
They don't let me find the truth
Am I born to be a king
Or a jester of the fools

Ref.:
You're the mystical old bard
on your journey through the dark
Mystical old bard
Your journey through the dark

I can't remember my name
I never knew how to find my home
I can't remember my name
come tell me where will it end
I'm the chosen one
To perform all these things
But not for me
In illusions and reality
I'm on my journey through the dark
I'm on my journey through the dark

Ref.

(Solo)

I can't remember
Will I ever find myself
The distance is growing
My hope has gone away
A flash of light but nothing changes
When will it end
Which part of me remains

Soon I'll be back
On my ferryboat of tales
Where oblivion reigns
It will take all of me

Ref.

 

THE BLACK CHAMBER

I am lost in the black chamber
There's no way to turn back
It takes me down forevermore
And death would be so sweet
I'm possessed by the old creature
Who had planned all
To take my soul
Too late for me

In my hands
It liest I thought
But I failed
Now he's in me

My soul is lost
In his black chamber

I'm gone

 

THEATRE OF PAIN

The giant's lost
And all round him
Destructed for what
They all knew what it meant
But they couldn't change it
Lord they had gone too far
Leave them alone

It's all gone
What is left behind
On a desert we called earth
When the last whale went away
Did they ever see the tears

Don't fear Your last step
From the theatre of pain
And the children will love Your singing
From the sea
The sea is calling
Now we've to leave it

The sea was clear
On the day I was stranded
Answers I'd known
To keep this all alive
But I can't change it
Forever

(Solo)

Now I'm gone 
And it seems that life had never existed
So we left the dark and cold
All I left behind are my tears

Don't fear Your last step
From the theatre of pain
And the children will love Your singing
From the sea
The sea is calling
I hear them calling

 

THE QUEST FOR TANELORN

By the ruins he stands
And he's waiting for me
To enter Tanelorn
His paths seems strange
But they're always planned
Seldom he succeeds
About his own fate

He tries to conquer it
Again and again
But at last he's almost
A ruined man
Not a king or God
Who's searching for
A place called Tanelorn
Far beyond your dreams

Ref.:
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn

He's waiting 
He's waiting for me
He's waiting
He's waiting for me

[Spiritus sanctus - vita aeterna]

Darkness falling down on me
Darkness - The eternal battle rises

I know the answers
Although they don't exist
I'm just a mortal illusion

Ref.

(Solo)

So I'm his companion
Through space and through time
His eternal servant
He's calling me 
So I must leave
To any life
To another world
Far beyond Your dreams

To know the truth
Just for a while
He's longing for a place
Where he can find himself
Deliverance
It could be everywhere
How can he find
He's waiting for me
And for Your Tanelorn

Ref.:
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
We're left alone

 

ASHES TO ASHES

Taste the poison
Feel that this is life
Hallowed be the game
Of life and innocence
God's waiting for him
Join us at the road to fate
There are no two paths
Feel the pain
Which steps into his life

Agony
He'll be crucified
Death awaits
Knocking at his door
Agony
Leave him
The clock will strike the end
Hell or heaven
Reflect and fade away

Ref.:
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and You obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes You will obey
Time isn't here to stay
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
the life clock strikes and You obey
A light shows the right way

Morning is whispering in my head
Too late to say goodbye
Too late
The last breath's done
Deliverance at all
he's born to find this end
I am the one
The one who's calling
Obey my call to the cemetary
And don't be afraid
To step into the dark
Be sure that my voice
will take You home

Ref.:
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and You obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes You will obey
Time isn't here to stay

(Solo)

No hope he'd waited so long
This can't be God's will
He surrendered long ago
There was no real chance

Ashes to ashes and dust will be dust
Ashes to ashes, you all will be dust again

The clock had struck the end
Up to heaven
Reflexions fade away

Ref. (1st)

Taste the poison
Feel that this is life
Hallowed be the game

 

THE BARD'S SONG: IN THE FOREST

Now You all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song

Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs

There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
Noone should ask You for the name 
Of the one
Who tells the story

Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And You're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain

In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men
And elves
Come close Your eyes
You can see them, too

 

THE BARD'S SONG: THE HOBBIT

Out in the distance
There's so much gold
The treasure that I've found
Is more than enough
Far to be the hill we've to go
Over the mountain and seas
To the old hill
Where the old dragon sleeps
Blind in the dark dungeon's night
So God please take me away from here
And Gollum shows the way right out

(Solo)

I'm alive

The dying dragon brought trouble and pain
And horror to the halls of stone
I'll take the mighty stone
And leave the dwarves behind
Ice and fire and forest we passed
And horror in the halls of stone

Trolls in the dark
The dawn took them all
Caught in the wood
By the wooden kings' men
But now I'm alone
'Cause I've made up my mind
By the spell of gold

The king under the mountain
Will risk the great war
Oh what a fool
He's losing control
So I am trying to find a way
Blind in the dark dungeon's night
Then darkness comes from the northern side
And Thorin clears his mind

 

SOMEWHERE FAR BEYOND

I came from far
Beyond Your reality
The ocean of time
It's the odysee of mine
I am the narrator
And now I'll tell You 
Where I've been
And what I saw
And how it ends

Welcome to the wasteland
In a world which is turning faster
Where I'm alone for a while
It's turning faster
Away from light straight to the dark
The march of time it has begun
I'm caught in an ancient dream so bright
And then the march of time begins

The man in black he waits
Behind this last task
It's full of pain
To sacrifice the only son
The legions of the lost
Wait in the old mine
They try to stop me
The battle it has begun

So I'm not afraid
To walk down to the wasteland
I'm so alone on my way
And I don't fear that dusty godforsaken path
Somewhere far beyond

Ref.:
Somewhere far beyond
The march of time it has begun
Somewhere far beyond your reality
And then the march of time begins

Look at my soul
And behind
There are some things
I've to hide from You 
I'm following the black man
I'm losing control
And I don't care
What's happening to the boy

Welcome to the new world
One more step to the dark tower
And my whole body's in flames
I'm looking for Those healing things to be prepared
The march of time it has begun
I'm caught in a prisoner's dirty life
And then the march of time begins

The prisoner did bring the healing spell
The queen of shadows found herself in pain
And death brings answers to us all

What will I find
When the dark tower appears
Will it be the end
Or just a new quest after all
I am the narrator
And now I'll tell You 
Where I'd been
And what I saw
And how it ends

(Solo)

Ref. (2x)

Look around and see
The world is turning fast
Faster day by day
Somewhere far beyond
I'll try to change it
If I can - Somewhere far beyond
There's only one chance
And it lies - Somewhere far beyond
Somewhere far beyond
The march of time it has begun
The march of time it has begun

 

SPREAD YOUR WINGS (BONUS CD)

Sammy was low
Just watching the show
Over and over again
Knew it was time
He'd made up his mind
To leave his dead life behind
His boss said to him
"Boy you'd better begin,
To get those crazy notions right out of your head
Sammy who do you think you that you are?
You should've been sweeping up the Emerald Bar"

Ref.:
Spread your wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Pull yourself together
'Cos you know you should do better
That's because your a free man

He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room
Keeping his thoughts to himself, he'd be leaving soon
Wishing he was miles and miles away
Nothing in this world, nothing would make him stay
Since he was small
Had no luck at all
Nothing came easy to him
Now it was time
He'd made up his mind
"This could be my last chance"

His boss said to him, "Now listen boy!
You're always dreaming
You've got no real ambition, you won't get very far
Sammy boy, don't you know who you are?
Why can't you be happy at the Emerald Bar?"
So honey,

IMAGINATIONS FROM THE OTHER SIDE

Where are these silent faces
I took them all
they all went away
now you're alone
to turn out every light so deep in me
hold on, to late

Will I ever see them back again
or did they all die by my hand
or where they killed
by the old evil ghost
who had taken
the ocean
of all my dreams
which were worth to keep
deep inside my heart
I wish I
could get them back
from the everflow
before they'll fade away

Ref.:
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
out of the dark
back to the light
then I'll break down
the walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side

Where's the ocean's daughter
was Peter Pan in Mordor
no one's there to keep alive
all these fairy tales
may I return to Oz
will I meet the "Tin Man"
"Coward Lion" where are you
without brain the scarecrow's lost
in the middle of the lake
stranded in the real world
left in a world
no place for daydreams
serious life
I fall into
I fall into a dark hole
and I can't come out

do you know if Merlin did exist
or Frodo wore the ring
did Corum kill the gods
or where's the wonderland
which young Alice had seen
or was it just a dream
I knew the answers
now they're lost for me

Ref.

(Solo)

I hope there is a way back
with my talisman
so I look into myself
to the days when I was just a child
come follow me to wonderland
and see the tale that never ends
don't fear the lion nor the witch
I can't come back
I'm lost but still I know
there is another world

Ref.

 

I'M ALIVE

I run through the dark fields
of the plains
reach level 99
the pain cuts deep down
through my vain
how will I break the ice
welcome to my reality
dream forever
sunlight instead of neon light
how will it be
welcome to my grave
and feel the dream is over
nothing can stop me
I reach out for the top

Bridge:
Caught in an old cage
the system failed
built up on lies
now I see that I'm alone
in asylum's cage
I'm left alone

Ref.:
I'm alive my friend
I can feel the shadows everywhere
I'm alive
I left the shadows
far behind me
another one is waiting in the dark

They say the system keeps
the last chance to survive
caught in this labyrinth
of walls and lots of lies
then I began to understand
there's more above than ice
to reach the top
I crept deep down
the answers given in the past
a sensless worth
in useless brains
magic runes
without a meaning
besides the dark
there should be nothing left

Bridge

Ref.

(Solo)

Outside they say death is waiting
but it creeps down through the shaft
finds pleasure in our helpless fear
fills empty rooms
with morbid thought
they've locked the door
and hold the key
sitting beside you
when silent screams
changing my mind and dreams
oh, it's never ending

Bridge

Ref.

I'M ALIVE!!!

 

A PAST AND FUTURE SECRET

Oh, I haven't been here for a while
in blindness and decay
the circle's been closed, now

My song of the end
I've seen it all

Listen crowd
I'll tell you everything
though I have to say
I don't know much
talking about a past
and future secret
most called him once
and future king
far back in the past
I saw his ending
long before it started
I knew his name
he's the one who took the sword
out of the stone
it's how that ancient tale began
I hear it in the cold winds

My song of the end
I had seen it in my dreams
my song of the end
I can't stop the darkening clouds

I feel cold
when I cry out for the bark
take him back to Avalon
dwell on for a new age
so long sleep well my friend
take him back to Avalon
I will wait and guard
the future king's crown

My song of the end
it was nice but now it's gone
my song of the end
it was fixed the whole time
my song of the end
I saw it all

 

THE SCRIPT FOR MY REQUIEM

Hallowed be the fatherland
god he knows
how long I'd been away
from here I did start for a search so
full of decease
I still hear my cryouts
from the old cellar's inside

Born in the days of medieval
my inner voice
is alway asking why

I came from nowhere
without a task, without a name
no fear of evil
fate, so god please lead me through
forgotten realms
mysterious dreams
in sunless rooms I'd sworn
I'll finish what I started, once
I'll find my holy grail
in the holy land

Ref.:
Returning of the miracles
it's my own requiem
the jester's tears
they are inside me
agony's the script for my requiem
Returning of the miracles
it's my own requiem
is the script already written
jester's tears I cry
yes, I cry

I went out of my mind
in desert lands
insanity's pawn
out of control
much too long I've been isolated
from my thoughts
enclosed by the leader's spell
bewildered to marc
as a glory knight
and I tried

Still I hear the scream of thousands:
"Crucify, crucify
Take it all
our gold, our home, our life,
but we didn't kill your Christ!!
Reach out for your holy grail
enslave us and make us
your god's sacrifice!!"

Ref.

(Solo)

Still I'm confused
if I was dreaming
too late I realized
I'd been another fool
I pay the price

Returning of the miracles
it's my own requiem
the jester's tears
they are inside me
agony's the script for my requiem
Returning of the miracles
it's my own requiem
is the script already written
jester's tears I cry

 

MORDRED'S SONG

I've lost my battle before it starts
my first breath wasn't done
my spirit's sunken deep
into the ground
why am I alone
I can hear my heartbeat
silence's all around

See hat will rise
so don't come closer
fear your child
born with a king's heart
but fate fooled me
and changed my cards
noone asked if I want it
if I like it

Ref.:
Pain inside is rising
I am the fallen one
a figure in an old game
no Joker's on my side
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
and murder the dawn
turn off the light
and murder the dawn

Nothing else,
but laughter is around me
forevermore
noone can heal me
nothing can save me
noone can heal me
I've gone beyond the truth
it's just another lie
wash away the blood on my hands
my father's blood
in agony we're unified

I never wanted to be
what they told me to be
fulfill my fate then I'll be free
god knows how long
I tried to change fate

(Solo)

Ref.

(Solo)

I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
and murder the dawn
turn off the light
and murder the dawn

 

BORN IN A MOURNING HALL

In fact it was close to a real fallout
everything's under control
the speaker said with a serious smile
behind his mask
he knew the truth
I'll bring a new age of better ways
the TV preacher said
just pay today
pay today

World's dressed in black
on earth's judgement day
and I?
I know it can't go on
forbidden signs increase
I'm sitting still at home
and watching

Ref.:
Born in a mourning hall
pale clouds feared the unborn child
then it grew up with growing plans
of suicide
born in a mourning hall
shadows left the fear inside
that Peter Pan will never reach
the other side

It's frightening
exciting to sit at home
and watch the burning fields
get
hypnotized by the TV snake

Obey and work hard
and feel no anger
just sympathy for the higher class
there's no chance in changing things
cause I am

Ref.:
born in a mourning hall
silent cries ran out
when the cradle breaks
broken dreams were unheared on
the other side
born in a mourning hall
shadows left the fear
in the new born child
that Peter Pan will never reach
the other side

(Solo)

And I'm a part of the machine
a puppet on the strings
a rebel, once
now I'm an old man

Oh, I know this can't go on
but the ghost called fear inside
lames my tongue, my nerves, my mind
eternal fall down
someone cut the strings off
I can't move
to get back courage
I've to face the truth
but not today
goodbye

Ref.:
Born in a mourning hall
caught inside a web called life
the only way to get out soon
is suicide
born in a mourning hall
pale souls built a frozen world
infected brains
will never reach the other side
the other side

 

BRIGHT EYES

Fool just another
fool just another
...

I've been waiting
for signs of god

create- enslaved- behaved-
everything is out of control

Leave me alone
isolation bears hope
there's something else waiting
a promised destiny
freezing me
I feel restless and low
these days full of sadness
had joyfully changed
into fear

My freakshow will start tonight
don't miss the right time

Ref.:
Bright eyes
blinded by fear of life
no Merlin is by my side

everything is out of control
everything is out of control
in my future plans
everything is out of control
noone's left to hurt
everything is out of control
sorrow's gone away

Broken memories
walking upstairs
step by step
I see the whole world burning
the poet dies in Neverland
how it burns

Hey, mother stubborn
I really hate you
if you say yes I will say no
ashes to ashes
but dust won't be dust
if you go there
I will go back

Ref.:
Bright eyes
blinded by fear of life
betrayed by sunrise
bright eyes
blinded by fear of life
no Merlin is by my side

Hey, father stubborn
you're ying
and I'm young
I feel alone
who really cares
Born into ashes
to lose all the games
with a smiling face

Ref.:
Bright eyes
blinded by fear of life
and dark dragons rise
bright eyes
blinded by fear of life
no Merlin is by my side

So I sit still in my room, today
winter's here
in summer's season
shall I say
I was wrong
if I'm right
farewell to my last hope

 

ANOTHER HOLY WAR

I am god
the only one
I will bring back
freedom to your heart
you won't believe
that blind can see
noone else before me ever knew
the way to paradise
for another bloody crime
I shall return

I am your light on through the night

Ref.:
Why am I born
will I fail to rise again
another crucifixion for
another holy war
can't stop what's going on
(repeat)

Sooner or later you must understand
my words bring freedom
and rescue for man
what else,
to call me your Messiah
oh, I wish there could be another way
cross and nails are already prepared
my sell out
waits till I'm crucified
I will die before my vision ends

Ref.

(Solo)

Wait for the dawn
to take me away
what will be if I fail
another golden calve
never, never ending
pain and agony
hit me, nail me make me god

Ref.

 

AND THE STORY ENDS

And the story ends
insanity said coldly
still waiting for the chance
so out of nowhere it will rise
oh, and another journey starts
by the call of the moon
was it really me
I saw in the mirror screaming
I swallowed hate and lies
through a thousand cries
someone's sucking out my energy

Bridge:
What can I do
on this road to nowhere
Heart of dragon lies
at the edge of time

Ref.:
And the story ends
insanity said coldy
still waiting for the chance
so out of nowhere it will rise
oh, and another journey starts
into insanity's claws

Come with me and join me
a new life's waiting for you
jump through the mirror
leave fear behind
no matter where I tried
the candle light seemed
lost forever
before my vision ends
-cathedral
-falling tears

We're not alone
there's someone else, too
from the mirror's other side
reflecting the cruel part of your soul
it's time for your choice

Bridge

Ref.:
And the story ends
insanity said coldy
still waiting for the chance
so out of nowhere it will rise
oh, and another journey starts
by the call of the moon

(Solo)

Heart of dragon lies

Bridge

Ref.(1st)

I'm not a king
I'm just a bard
how can I trust
if there's good and bad
the wounds of life
they will remain
at least I found a friend



MR. SANDMAN

Mr Sandman

 


Mr.Sandman

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give two lips like roses and cover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.

Mr. Sandman (male voice: yesss?) bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a come-hither gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mr. Sandman, someone to hold (someone to hold)
Would be so peachy before we're too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring us, please, please, please
Mr. Sandman, bring us a dream.



 

THE FORGOTTEN TALES

Surfin'USA

To France

 


SURFIN'USA

If everybody had an ocean
Across the U.S.A.
Then everybody'd be surfing
Like California
You'd see 'em wearin' their baggies
Huarachi sandals, too
A bushy, bushy blond hairdo
Surfin U.S.A.

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Ventura County line
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Santa Cruz and Tressels
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Australia's Narabine
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
All over Manhattan
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
And down Doheny way
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin U.S.A.

We'll all be planning out a route
We're gonna take real soon
We're waxin' down our surfboards
We can't wait for June
We'll all be gone for the summer
We're on safari to stay
Tell the teacher we're surfin'
Surfin U.S.A.

At Haggerty's and Swami's
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Pacific Palisade
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
San Onofre and sunset
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Redondo Beach, L.A.
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
All over La Jolla
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
At Waiamea Bay
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin U.S.A.
{Repeat to fade}

 


TO FRANCE

Talking on Water
Sailing a restless sea
From a memory
A fantasy
The wind carries
Into white water
Fare from the islands
Don't you know you're
Never going to get to France
Mary Queen of chance will they find you
Never going to get to France
Could a new romance ever bind you
Walking on foreign ground
Like a shadow
Roaming in far off
Territory
Over your shoulder
Stories unfold you're
searching for sanctuary
you know you're

Never going to get to France
Mary Queen of chance will they find you
Never going to get to France
Could a new romance ever bind you

I see a picture
by the lamp's flicker
Isn't it strange
How dreams fade and shimmer

Never going to get to France
Mary Queen of chance will they find you
Never going to get to France
Could a new romance ever bind you

I see a picture
by the lamp's flicker
Isn't it strange
how dreams fade and shimmer

Never going to get to France
Mary Queen of chance will they find you
Never going to get to France
Could a new romance ever bind you

Never going to get to France
