Delusions


You think you're it

You think you're God

You think you're the meaning of life

That universe

Is spinning around you


I know your kind

Inflated mind

I know why you're going so blind

Your egotism

Your hyperbolic style


Delusions


Come back from the self-centered shadows and lies


You think you're it

You think you're God

You think you're the meaning of life

Why don't you see you're nothing

You're nothing at all


And no one else

Is good enough

So you're always there to correct

I see you die in solitude - alone


You pompous ass

Your eyes are shut

You think you're the center of earth

Just give it up

Your train of thought - absurd


Delusions


Come back from the self-centered shadows and lies


You think you're it

You think you're God

You think you're the meaning of life

Why don't you see you're nothing

You're nothing at all

1. Grand Materia


So it came to me - and I saw beyond

The dark reflection of myself in me

I closed my eyes and I flew away

And I inhaled eternal life


Behind – the deepest of my soul

Beyond the world you live in

I found a miracle I caught the shadowstone


With the knowledge in my hand

More alive than ever

With the seven astral planes within – I will live forever


So far away but somewhere inside me

An angel slumbers wrapped in shadows


Grand materia

Catch the shadow of your soul


I became alone

My gift was both a blessing and a curse

Because I couldn't tell, didn't dare to speak,

No one to trust

I kept my knowledge for myself


Alone but with a presence inside me

An angel is awake in the shadows


Grand materia

Tame the shadow of your soul


There is no end in my life – no final destination

Both blessed and doomed to walk the earth,

As an immortal transmutation


Something dark is always close- trying to control me

I think it wants the shadow back,

Through the barriers inside me


Alone but with a presence inside me

A demon is awake in the shadows


Grand materia



2. My Funeral Is Calling


Heartbeats pounding - almost sounding

Under my skin

In disguise – I'm about to begin

To stage my plan – my decease

Am I insane

Qualms of remorse – what a sinister deed

Betrayal – they're close to reveal what I am

Brothers I thought that I had

Greed takes possession of man

My funeral is calling


Dead man poor man - you'll die twice

To cover my life

Decomposed – in a chamber of mine

My death is done – soon I'm free

Vanished and gone

A dead man lives – a living man dies


Betrayal – they're close to reveal what I am

Brothers I thought that I had

Greed takes possession of man

My funeral is calling


Inquisition, church, disciples

I fooled you all

Veiled and secured – is the secret, my soul

O'er that grave – they will pray

For a dead man unknown

I will live on – through time and beyond


Betrayal – they're close to reveal what I am

Brothers I thought that I had

Greed takes possession of man

My funeral is calling



3. Only Endless Time Remains


Sometime I miss the life before

When there was no forever more

It's bittersweet to live forever

All the friends around me died

So did my emotions and cries

It took me a long, long time to learn to live my life


In the mists of my memories

And on the shores of the centuries

I do sometimes find a piece of harmony


But I recall pain as well

Tremendous sorrow and regrets unveiled

It's bittersweet to live and never die


I have seen it all and even more

I have lived through countless wars

But love torments me more than anything I know

In the corridors of time

Behind the doors to my deepest mind

I will always keep the ones I loved alive


In the mists of my memories

And on the shores of the centuries

I do sometimes find a piece of harmony


But I recall pain as well

Tremendous sorrow and regrets unveiled

It's bittersweet to live and never die


Only endless time remains


In the corridors of time

Behind the deepest of my mind

Well, only endless time remains



4. Hollow


[Nicholas Flamel:]

Something's here, it's everywhere

It's sad and cold, it's in the air

Hollow voices, mumbling talk

Limping steps, when someone walks

Staring eyes, from a sallow face

In the mirror, in the haze

A bell that chimes, from behind

The walls or doors, or from the other side


Hollow – there's the hollow sound of a bell

Hollow – hollow sound of hell


The soul: I want you no harm, just make a friend

In this lonely endless end

I sense your fear, I feel it well

I hear it too, the sound of a bell


Hollow – there's the hollow sound of a bell

Hollow – hollow sound of hell

Hollow – there's the hollow sound of a bell

Hollow – hollow sound of hell


Entity: you deny me, when I'm there

As if I was just, mist and air

I will reach you with my chime

I'm the ringer of infinite time


Nicholas flamel: shadows move, haunting me

Sucking all my energy

The soul: why don't you come, when I call

You never speak, no never at all


Entity: I summon you, with my chime

I want your soul it is mine

The more I crave, the more you die

The more I sense that I'm alive


Hollow – there's the hollow sound of a bell

Hollow – hollow sound of hell

Hollow – there's the hollow sound of a bell

Hollow – hollow sound of hell



5. Edge Of Mind


Life – deep within all lies a

Shadow a soul

To find – and to hold it is to hear

How insanity roars

Something comes with the

Knowledge of all

That is deeper and darker and

See through my soul


Face to face – I crumble before

The being of all


The edge

At the edge of all life and beyond

The edge at the end of my mind


Time – is wrapped all around me

And choking my thoughts

And eyes – staring right through me

For secrets I hold


Trying to find

The shadow inside me –

Find it and take it

While I'm petrified


Face to face – I crumble before

The being of all


The edge

At the edge of all life and beyond

The edge at the end of my mind



6. On The Other Side


If I open up my mind

And receive the other side

Where the day reflects the night

In frenetic timeless time

And knowledge is a well

There in heaven there in hell

Where every thought and fantasy

Is reality


On the other side in the immutable

Eternity

On the other side in the impalpable

Eternally


There I face my soul

Angelical – unbound

A shadow of the free

Forever meant to be

And the presence that I feel

From my kindred soul

Strengths my life – my energy

Through eternity


On the other side in the immutable

Eternity

On the other side in the impalpable

Eternally


There I've found the power

The secret source

The grand materia

The shadowstone – my soul

There I drink the knowledge

There I find the truth


But it can be hard to stand

The menacing and sad

That is beyond my grasp

Like heartbeats in the vast

That entity that's haunting me

Searching for my soul

It's everywhere – unreachable

Not tangible


On the other side in the immutable

Eternity

On the other side in the impalpable

Eternally



7. I Roam


Wherever I walk no shadow will fall

I hold it inside me, the angel my soul

This dark opacity-following entity fly

Inside my domains, prisoned in mind


I tamed my shadow and

I roam – in my non- existing shadow

I roam – in a world that goes round and round


Can the eyes of a man understand what they see

When they see the loss of the shadow of me

For your eyes non existing, invisible, missing and gone

But your brain's apprehension will tell that it's there in the sun


I tamed my shadow and

I roam – in my non- existing shadow

I roam – in a world that goes round and round

I roam – with my invisible shadow

I roam – in my non- existing shadow I roam


You walk - this earth - with a dark reflection - a curse

That has to wait – until the end – of your life to get free and transcended

But not the shadow of me – no, not the shadow of me.


I roam – in my non- existing shadow

I roam – in a world that goes round and round

I roam – with my invisible shadow

I roam – in my non- existing shadow I roam



8. Emotional Sanctuary


I have found a little hideaway

It's a place not so far away

Like a nest in my mind

Where I rest and sense no time

There I am as much as I can

As an old and crumbled man

And I hide from the pain and sorrow

That I fear


Behind this barrier I can

Just deny all the thoughts

No cause and action (effect/consequence) there at all


An emotional sanctuary

Time has gone too far to turn around

The pain I feel

Will fade away

‘ cause life goes on

In a colder way

An emotional sanctuary


Like a spider in a web of dreams

I control my sanctuary

And the walls that I've built

Are my lost memories


Cause I'm living in aworld of madness

And the only place to heal

Is the place too close for man to find

And feel


Behind this barrier I can

Just deny all the thoughts

No cause and action ) there at all


An emotional sanctuary

Time has gone too far to turn around

The pain I feel

Will fade away

Cause life goes on

In a colder way

An emotional sanctuary



9. Angel's Deceit


Black eyed strangers trapped in time

Oh, bitter angels caught behind

The thought – given only to mankind

Legions of the seraphim

The fallen army stained with sin

Patiently they're waiting for the end

The fall of time

From where fallen angels rule

The hatred never seems to fade

Their malicious dark deception

Closing in


From where fallen angels rule

The hatred never seems to fade

Their malicious dark deception

Soon fulfilled


Giving coded secrets to

Some chosen of the race of man

So that grand materia can be found

Eagerly they're waiting for the

Monumental moment when they fly

Once again free and unbound

They are trapped in time


[x2]

From where fallen angels rule

The hatred never seems to fade

Their malicious dark deception

Closing in


They are trapped in time

In terrestrial skies

Fallen angels, darkened angels, blinded angels, poisoned by their hate


From where fallen angels rule

The hatred never seems to fade

Their malicious dark deception

Closing in



10. The Operation Of The Sun


As below, so above;

And as above, so below

With this knowledge you may work

Miracles (I know)

And all things emanate,

From the one who is the cause (fate)

All things are born (after their kind)

From this one


The sun is the father, its mother is the moon

Earth – the guardian and its nurse

It's the father of all things

Eternal will is contained (within)


This is the truth, with out falsehood,

Certain and most true


I possess the three

Parts of the philosophy

Of the whole world

The operation of the sun


This is what I know

The consummated sum

Of the work –

The operation of the sun


(Thou shalt) separate the earth from fire

The subtle from the dense (bla bla)

Gently with, unremitting care (and wisdom)


It ascends from earth to heaven

And again descends to earth

And receives the strength of the

Superior (and the) inferior


This is the truth, without falsehood,

Certain and most true


I possess the three

Parts of the philosophy

Of the whole world

The operation of the sun


This is what I know

The consummated sum

Of the work –

The operation of the sun


By means of this one thing

All the glory of the world

Shall be yours

And all obscurity (shall) flee from you


It is power of all power

It will dispel all ignorance

By this one, the world was created


This is the truth, without falsehood,

Certain and most true


I possess the three

Parts of the philosophy

Of the whole world

The operation of the sun


There's nothing more to say (nothing more to say about)

The consummated sum

Of the work –

The operation of the sun



11. Blind


Here I am seven centuries away

From the discovery

That led this way

My eyes can testify to miracles

You wont believe the things I've seen

In my immortal life

I see the truth behind every lie

And I sense who shall live

And who shall die

The knowledge of the blind humanity

Where insanity controls the world – I weep


Open up your eyes

Knowing just as I


Blind

You are blind

Blind


The room bulges and every atom is pulsating.

The hollow sound of a wind chime rings pleasantly

In the distance. my fear is gone and a feeling of

Calm is spreading through my body.


Your chime

Is calling

I'm coming

I'm yours

Oh, time


Nothing

Matters to me anymore

I am harvested by the scythe of time

I'm not the virus that I where before

Time will heal all wounds – I'm sure


Its ascending, descending course

Strikes with out remorse

Finally it finds

The scythe of time hits blind


Blind

You are blind

Blind

Time strikes blind



12. My Task Is Done


[Ready to Die]


Knowledge

Beyond the knowledge I had

A fool was I for sure

Still my thoughts belong to my mind

But slowly they are fading

Away to become

A part of timeless time

I wonder who I am and why

Where am I and why am I alive

It's time to rest now

Rest and reconcile with time


Silence I'm drifting away with the currents

Of time to become

Absorbed by timeless time

And there by the shores – the beginning of all

My shadow is waiting for me to be whole

I'm the essence of my soul


I wonder who I am and why

Where am I and why am I alive

It's time to rest now

Rest and reconcile with time

It's time to rest now

My task is done


I wonder who I am and why

Where am I and why am I alive

I thought that I was doomed to die

But here I am to face a blood red sky



13. Sangreal


[Bonus track on double vinyl]


Every truth and lie wear a sign

Just open your mind

Every search needs wide open eyes

Cause blind you can not find

Of all metaphors in all those tales

There's the quest for the grail

You can't find the chalice

But the blood that were betrayed


Sangreal – explore the shadows of Christ


I see creation in all

It's in the wheel of time

Two parts combined to spread

New life – what's more divine


All the gospels about the truth

Of the Christ and his life

Were ignored and twisted so

It never could be revived


One way

One truth

It's imbedded in life


Just find a way to see through the lies

Explore the shadows of Christ


Sangreal – explore the shadows of Christ


A heretic emperor

Converted to the church

Just to gain his power over

The empire he gave birth


All the ancient beliefs

And all the symbols and rites

Were declared as evil,

An obscure path away from the light


Sangreal – explore the shadows of Christ

1. Time Is God


I have been in tomorrow there was not much to see

I was the only one cause no one else could be

Well time was there as an insult to the watch he is the master of eternity

There is time to gain there is time to lose we are ruled by its course

We live and we die but time goes on through every now

Forever more- the time is god


He is a collector of everything we do and every scene goes on forever more

I have seen the echoes from the past in a dimension never known to us

There is time to gain...

Always presence and never late he does not care he is just watching our fate

And whatever we are supposed to do

We cannot change the fact that we are ruled

There is time to gain...



2. Nowhere Island


I miss the evenings the small talk that we had

I miss your presence the good things and the bad

I smell the morning air the colours of the dawn

Things that matter now when it's out of reach

All the things I took for granted

I do now esteem

Every thing that I neglected

I wish to redeem

In this silence on nowhere island

I can see the life I had passing by

In the place of dying I'm weeping crying

Too late to be forgiven for my sins and lies

In this nowhere I'm looking back on life

What was my vision in life before I died - I know

That this place of emptiness a castody for souls

Will not bring me back no one hear my calls

All the things I took for granted

I don now esteem

Every thing that I neglected

I wish to redeem

In this silence on nowhere island

I can see the life I had passing by

In the place of dying I'm weeping crying

Too late to be forgiven for my sins and lies

My destination the cold eternity

I will forever roam through infinity

And I am doomed to silence in this astral skies

I want to be again I wish I were alive

All the things I took for granted

I do now esteem

Every thing that I neglected

In the place of dying I'm weeping crying

Too late to be forgiven for my sins and

So hard to stand against the flames

Deception - who told them

Magic knowledge

Ancient secret rituals

Black forbidden

Maleficium



4. Red Moon


The battle's lost

The army scattered in destruction

The king is dead

He drove his sword into a stone

A land without a king

Who'll be the one to follow?

No one managed

No man worthy of the throne

Break the spell, you son of a king

Excalibur awaits you

Rule our land, guide us the way

Give us back the glory we once had

In his court of Camelot

The knights of the round table

To lead the Britains

Is his life and prophecy

Deceived by Morgana Lefay

His bastard sister

Berawed, was left the nation

Of sorrow and of plague

He's the eyes of the war

He's the force of the law

Magician absolute

He's the eyes, he's the ears

Knowing lies and your fears

The sorcerer supreme

He's the eyes of the war

He's the force of the law

Magician absolute

He's the eyes, he's the ears

Knowing lies and your fears

The sorcerer supreme

Must solve the quest of time

The grail is the salvation

Saved from evil and

Abandoned to be found

Hail the king

Heed the dragon's fire

Called up with anger

From the deepest agony

Break the spell, you son of a king

Excalibur awaits you

Rule our land, guide us the way

Give us back the glory we once had



5. To Isengard


To Isengard though Isengard be ringed and barred with doors of stone

Though Isengard be strong and hard as cold as stone and bare as-bone...

We go we go we go to war to hew the stone and break the door

For bole and bough are burning now the furnace roars we go to war

To land of gloom with tramp of doom with roll of drum we come we come

We come we come with rool of drum with horn and drum we come



6. Lord Of The Rings


Three rings for the elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for the mortal men doomed to die,

One for the dark lord on his dark throne

In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie

One ring to rule them all one ring to find them

One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie"

The lord of the rings

The one of them all

The lord of the rings

Gets into your soul

Three rings in the elven-land defying the dark

The dwarf-lords have lost their rings three have been found

By the mortal men now bearing Sauron's mark

The war of the ring begins on evil ground

In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie

One ring to rule them all one ring to find them

One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the land of the dark lord where freedom dies

The lord of the rings

he one of them all

The lord of the rings

Gets into your soul



7. Madness


The crazy man inside my head

Waking up with empty eyes

He envies me, wishes that I was dead

My common sense wants to see him die


Taking over more and more

He's screaming through my soul

He uses my eyes to make me see

The world in a twisted reality


The power of madness

Is tearing down my mind

Into the darkness of fools

Where shadows lurk and madness rules


Madness, madness, madness

Madness is tearing down my mind

Madness, madness, madness

Madness, my senses going blind


Too late for me, insanity

Is spreading like a disease

My body shake, a nervous ache

I'm going crazy

Help, for god's sake


The power of madness

Is tearing down my mind

Into the darkness of fools

Where shadows lurk and madness rules


Madness, madness, madness

Madness is tearing down my mind

Madness, madness, madness

Madness, my senses going blind


I'm laughing at god

And I'm laughing at satan in hell

I'm fettered in chains on the rack

Suffering god's torture and pain

Inquisition, a demon you are

Take a life to find out a false truth

But after you've stolen my life

you'll suffer the vultures' fete


I confess, I'm the one, take my life

Make it done, once and for all

I feel no more, care no more, see no more

The pain is gone

Madness is stronger than mind


In this land where I am

Everything is fine

You torture me, but I am free

I feel nothing, crazy me

The power of madness

Is tearing down my mind

Into the darkness of fools

Where shadows lurk and madness rules


Madness, madness, madness

Madness is tearing down my mind

Madness, madness, madness

Leave the common sense behind



8. What Am I


In the darkness I see her shadow

As a lonely sad silhouette

I'm remorseful but my pride still

Is too strong to accept my regrets

I sit in silence crouched in a corner

I hear the hollow ticking of the clock

My mind is chasing thoughts that are fleeing

Oh god of mercy! Do I know what I have done

I rest my head in hands that tremble

I'm repressing thoughts of what I am

I am scared of the power of my feelings

I can't bear the burden of the deeds

I can't trust the nature of my being

Cause my hate is fiery and profound

Each passing minute feels like an eon

Time seems unreal in the presence of death

I'm spinning deeper into my madness

Clinging on to traces of hope

I rest my head in hands that are shaking

I'm denying the facts of what I am

I close my eyes but the scene I'm seeing

Keep's repeating again and again

I can't leash the fury I'm feeling

I cannot break the circle of my rage

I can't trust the nature of my being

'Cos my hate is fiery and profound



9. Excalibur


The battle's lost

The army scattered in destruction

The king is dead

He drove his sword into a stone

A land without a king

Who'll be the one to follow?

No one managed

No man worthy of the throne

Break the spell, you son of a king

Excalibur awaits you

Rule our land, guide us the way

Give us back the glory we once had

In his court of Camelot

The knights of the round table

To lead the Britains

Is his life and prophecy

Deceived by Morgana Lefay

His bastard sister

Berawed, was left the nation

Of sorrow and of plague

He's the eyes of the war

He's the force of the law

Magician absolute

He's the eyes, he's the ears

Knowing lies and your fears

The sorcerer supreme

He's the eyes of the war

He's the force of the law

Magician absolute

He's the eyes, he's the ears

Knowing lies and your fears

The sorcerer supreme

Must solve the quest of time

The grail is the salvation

Saved from evil and

Abandoned to be found

Hail the king

Heed the dragon's fire

Called up with anger

From the deepest agony

Break the spell, you son of a king

Excalibur awaits you

Rule our land, guide us the way

Give us back the glory we once had



10. Mad Messiah


Mad Messiah falls but hallowed you were sanctified

Your fantastic lies were followed by the weak and blind

They believed in you so badly and practised what you preached

You took the name of god in vain were you man or beast

Your assembly and requiem your prophecy of doom

The redeemer in the sky did he laugh or cry

You lead them to the doom god's almighty lord praise the fools of earth

Mad messiah salvation by fire

If he told you what to do god must be evil too

In desperation humiliation you took their lives away

Your bad religion and sectarianism it is all a mad man's work

Dehumanized then sacrificed to an empty sky

You lead them to the doom god's almighty lord praise the fools of death

Mad Messiah salvation by fire

Mad Messiah you were a liar just a fraud and fake

What is there to say you burned in hell I hope you were satisfied

You lead them...



11. Paradise Lost


I am the lord of the fallen

The ultimate rebel from paradise

A philosopher free thinking breed

The sovereign of anarchy

Legionaries of every tribe

This is where we dwell

A place of eternal dusk

We are the dignitaries of hell

Here we shall rule

Even though it isn't hell

I will retake

My lost paradise

Into the garden of Eden

As a serpent I come to tempt

I offer you to taste the fruit

From the tree of knowledge

I make you a demigod

I give you my thoughts

I want to make sure that you will be

A rebellion to the trinity

Here we shall rule

Even though it isn't hell

I will retake

My lost paradise

Fallen into the abyss of fire

Fallen into the abyss of fire



12. Wonderland


Have I seen all there is to see?

Or is there more left to be?

The deepest of thoughts

The fantasies, the neverending

Harmonies

Here I am, locked in reality

In a world of anxiety

I have to escape

Explore the possibilities

Can dreams become true?

On a unicorn I am riding

To the wonderland

I'll hold her silver mane, face a dream

I wonder if I will return

From my journey to the wonderland

Far away, deep within universe

Through the arcades of mystery

The dullness is gone

My mind collecting pieces

Of a life I will live

On a unicorn I am riding

To the wonderland

Me they will rehabilitate with

A strait-jacket on

They wonder if I will return

From my journey in the wonderland

They are searching, but they can't find

I am hiding inside my mind

Can you keep a secret? I'm not me

I am forever in my fantasy

On a unicorn I am riding

To the wonderland

I'll hold her silver mane, face a dream

I wonder if I will return

From my journey to the wonderland

Wonderland, wonderland

Take me to that neverland

Wonderland



13. The Source Of Pain


Before god you must tell the truth

As you know this is a trial

What have I done? I am innocent.

I do not understand

Oh, I see you deny the crimes

Let us find out what is true

What do you do, What's going on?

Tell me where I am


Welcome, to the cellar of pain

Let the questioning begin

I'm the chief magistrate

In god I put my faith

Blasphemous lying beast

The devil is your lord

Insane, a big mistake

What have you been told?


I want you to tell me

Kneel and confess what you are

I'm a master of torture

But the pain that you feel is the dark


The source of...

The source of pain

To the end of your life and forever more


The source of...

The source of pain

To the end of your life and forever more


Look around, what you see

Is gonna make you talk

Chains and racks don't frighten me

I'm innocent and free

Is that a sarcastic tongue

I hear in front of me?

I don't care what you think

But scare me you cannot


I want you to tell me

Kneel and confess what you are

I'm a master of torture

But the pain that you feel

Is the dark


The source of...

The source of pain

To the end of your life and forever more

1. Sculptures Of Pain


Satan is calling

But we can't be free

With him we were falling

Now we stand as we are

Turned to stone

We were giants of heaven

Now we are doomed for two thousand years

We burned in sulphur and fire

Now we are sculptures in chains

Sculptures of pain

Our dreams of Utopia

Were dreams that were real

And some day we'll be there

In a time when our souls

Have been healed

But wings have been broken

Eyes have been darkened by hate

We're trapped in this nowhere

Awaiting the time when we all shall

BE FREE

Sculptures of pain

I - Gabriel the angel

A sculpture of pain

In the middle of nowhere

Not heaven nor hell

I hear him calling

From his throne, I hear him cry

He's crumbled and broken

And he sits where he sits

Made of stone

We're sculptures of pain

We're turned to stone

But we shall be free

His words are clear

We were before

We shall be again

We are sculptures of pain

Crumbled angels of hell

We're meant to be

We shall rule again, we shall be again

We are sculptures of pain

Crumbled angels of hell

We're meant to be

We shall rule again

We shall crack the shell and fly



2. Lost Reflection


[Instrumental]



3. Rumours Of Rain


Dark eyes staring through crystal

Wild laughs, demons of wisdom

Recall all the heretics of the dawn

Cry out the names of the angels

Spell god as in the beginning

Profane is the devil's grimoire

Salute the sage, he's the last in line

He sin too, well but so do I

He's in all, he's you and me

He is the king of infinity

Rise up, enter my shadow

Siege me, make me eternal

Save me, give me that piece of harmony

Pure me, sermon by fire

Burn up, envious liar

Black skies will darken

The world forever more

In a world of mystery

He shall rule, yes you shall see

He's in all, he's in you and me

He is the king of infinity

Dark angel of sin

He's calling to bring

Preach me the sefer Jezirah

Dark years, Fata Morgana

Black tears falling for the antichrist

Rise up, enter my shadow

Dark eyes, demons of wisdom

Black skies will darken

The world forever more

Salute the sage, he's the last in line

He sin too, well but so do I

He's in all, he's in you and me

He is the king of infinity

Dark angel of sin

He's calling to bring



4. Alley Of Oaks


Let's take a walk a sunny day

And find those hidden roads

Which goes to secret places

And to magic nooks

Can you hear the whisperings

From the trees

They're fortelling memories

Creatures you've never seen catch

The gossip from the sizzling leaves

When we walk the alley of the oaks

To where those diffuse shadows loom

Underneath that mound of stone

There lives the beings of your denial

Shadows, luring eyes behind trees and

boulders, oh world of wonders

Can you see, can you see them

They are here closer than you

Wanted them to ever come to you

But it's for real not a fairy-tale

When we walk the alley of the oaks

To where those diffuse shadows loom

Was there something behind me?

What did move over there?

Hear voices and laughter

It's something else here!



5. Battle Of Evermore


The wise man and the vagabond

Walking on a mission

Searching for an answer

Looking for a sign

See, the seven seals have been broken

And the world has taken end

Manifestation on the horizon

The battle has begun

Angels fighting angels

Heaven is painted red

A crimson rain is falling

Down on the earth

That we have lent

Battle of Evermore

This is war

The battle of Evermore

Of Evermore

This is war

The battle of Evermore

The battle of Evermore

The battle of Evermore

The battle of Evermore



6. Voulez Vous


People everywhere

A sense of expectation hanging in the air

Giving out a spark

Across the room your eyes are glowing in the dark

And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end

Masters of the scene

We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more

You know what I mean

Voules-vous

Take it now or leave it

Now is all we got

Nothing promised, no regrets

Voulez-vous

Ain't no big decision

You know what to do

La question c'est voulez-vous

Voulez-vous...

I know what you think

"The girl means business so I'll offer her a drink"

Looking mighty proud

I see you leave your table, pushing through the crowd

I'm really glad you came, you know the rules, you know the game

Masters of the scene

We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more

You know what I mean

Voulez-vous

Take it now or leave it

Now is all we got

Nothing promised, no regrets

Voulez-vous

Ain't no big decision

You know what to do

La question c'est voulez-vous

And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end

Masters of the scene

We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more

You know what I mean

Voulez-vous

Take it now or leave it

Now is all we got

Nothing promised, no regrets

Voulez-vous

Ain't no big decision

You know what to do

La question c'est voulez-vous

Voulez-vous

Voulez-vous

Take it now or leave it

Now is all we got

Nothing promised, no regrets

Voulez-vous

Ain't no big decision

You know what to do

I can still say voulez-vous



7. The Mirror


What's beyond the chamber mirror

The evening coloured secret window

Is there just an inverted picture of

This room's reality

I have witnessed tiny little changes

Within that darkened reflected room

Things have altered seemingly in wrongful

Places of false dimensions

Hypnotised my soul is waiting

Horrified my senses fading

The mirror stares into my soul

Suspiciously I'm moving closer

And I wave my hand before me

In disbelief I watch the image of myself

Yet standing still

I'm staring deep into my eyes

Touch the mirror while I wonder why

In that moment my reflection grabs my arm

And pulls me through

To a room that is reversed

My common sense I feel it burst

The mirror takes what god forsakes

The mirror

Screaming - in silence

Staring out from the mirror

Reality - fades away

And I am locked beyond the mirror

Shadows - near me

Whisperings that scare me

Help me - take me out

Crush the mirror of despair

The mirror



8. Last Rites


He lies awake with his eyes closed

As he thinks of eternity

The last meal served on silver plates

Left a taste of cold steel

His memories haunt him

Though what's past is so far away

He's drowning in fear of death

But does anyone give a damned

First light of the morning

Will witness his fall

At the end of a rope he'll hang

Feeding the crows

As he walks to the gallows pole

The priest reads his last rites

Twelve feet to the ground

Then there's just six more to god

First light of the morning

Will witness his fall

At the end of a rope he'll hang

Feeding the crows

From the end of the gallow

To the land of the dead

He has joined with the hallowed

In the land of the dead

From the end of the gallow

To the land of the dead

He has joined with the hallowed

In the land of the dead

From the end of the gallow

To the land of the dead

He has joined with the hallowed

In the land of the dead



9. Sorrow Calls


In the chilly mist I stand

Petrified by her eyes

Dark but blazing eyes of

Endless night

Her velvet veil in silver grey

Shining through glistening tears

And while the colours fade

Around her, I can feel her sorrow

She can feel no happiness

As she feeds the night

And she cries for all the ones

She loved in life

So alone she weaps the dying

There is nothing she can do

Just guide us to the dark and

Lonely skies

She is the end

The stars will fall

Eternal night

Her sorrow calls

In the chilly mist I stand

Petrified by her eyes

Dark but blazing eyes

Dereaved of light

She is the key to the other world

And to the endless night

And her veil, embraces my soul

Combined, we fly away

She is the end

The stars will fall

Eternal night

Her sorrow calls

She's for real, no mirage

The incarnated night

Her sorrow calls, I must follow

And leave this life

What is life, what is death

Just a state of being

Nothing matters anymore

I must follow her call

She is the end

The stars will fall

Eternal night

Her sorrow calls



10. Why?


Why?

Taken away and gone forever

Cry

I will always remeber you

If I could turn back time

And make a new tomorrow

Lost

In memories I cry

These tears are meant for you

I'm crying over you

Why take away the life

Of an innocent child

A part of me will always

Be a part of you

Pain

A broken heart, a darkened soul

But life must go on

Even through the darkest times

These tears are meant for you

I'm crying over you



11. Symphony Of The Damned


In nomansland between heaven and hell

Madness is chanting my name

Thousand souls erratic in life

Chained in no place berawed their heaven

Out of tune noises pulsating my mind

A fatal opera inferno of sounds

My conscience fading, fading

Nowhere in time

Yesterday is tomorrow and today

Shadeless faces souls with no name

Standing hypnotized going insane

Hearing helplessly

Listen...

To the symphony of the damned

I search for light that I can't find

I search for shadows in this life behind

From south of heaven they are calling me

Through this hysterical psychic custody

I feel hands of compact nothing

Tighten its grip on me

Symphony of the damned

Corridors blindly, I can see them

Flashing by in the shadows of my conscience

There is a voice calling for my soul

In my mind the senses overflowing

To a peak past of what is human

As a god I spread my wings I can fly

I am alive, I got the fire, got the rage

Like a giant bird of prey, I am the night

I am the dark, I am the raven, I am the one

That you would call descended from the sky

Like tears lost in the rain that music fades...

I am sweeping over paradise

Where this god rules in disguise

Further on to a higher place

Where I'm promised to be born again

Like tears lost in the rain that music fades...

That symphony of the damned
