Beneath the blackened sky
When the diamonds glow
You taste the moonlight in solitude
Far away from life's eternal decay

The wheel of time aches in your restless heart
The haunting inner voice of freedom won't let you go
Long years of torment and never left alone
You seek a place where the cold winds don't blow

In your own sanctuary from life. Yes!
Strangers and lies fade in your mind
On the edge of midnight

Ride the rainbow. Aim for the sky
Tame the starlight and you will fly
Ride the rainbow. Let your kingdom come
Claim the night. You're the chosen one
Ride the rainbow. Ride forever
Find the gate to your dreams. Ride the rainbow

So pure and innocent
In your bleeding eyes
The perfect darkness relieve the pain
Yet the wounds of war and violence remain

Respect and orders
A never ending tale
You seek a haven from duties and chains

In your own sanctuary from life. Yes!
Strangers and lies fade in your mind
On the edge of midnight

Ride the rainbow. Aim for the sky
Tame the starlight and you will fly
Ride the rainbow. Let your kingdom come
Claim the night. You're the chosen one
Ride the rainbow. Ride forever
Find the gate to your dreams. Ride the rainbow

Take my words and find your kingdom
Take my words and find your kingdom

Take my words and find your kingdom now!

Long ago I saw tomorrow drift away
Like a whirlwind on the ocean
Left alone to walk the island of decay
Like a blind man led to nowhere

I let it go, I let it go
After all I've found a way
From the hammer of the Gods
To the power of the dark
And the road goes on and on

I'm coming for the fire of Hades
My eternal paradise
I'm coming for the fire of Hades
Where the tempter calls my name
I surrender my soul as a final sacrifice

Over mountains roar the sound of yesterday
Like a last cry of the mourner
Round and round inside the broken wheel of pain
With no light or destination

I let it go, I let it go
After all I've found a way
From the hammer of the Gods
To the power of the dark
And the road goes on and on

I'm coming for the fire of Hades
My eternal paradise
I'm coming for the fire of Hades
Where the tempter calls my name
I surrender my soul as a final sacrifice

I'm coming home
Sailing on the last rays of the sun
I'm coming home
From the empty world beyond

Hear me now I'm coming home
On the wind of silence to the flames
And the road goes on and on
And the road goes on and on and on

I'm coming for the fire of Hades
My eternal paradise
I'm coming for the fire of Hades
Where the tempter calls my name
I surrender my soul as a final sacrifice

Are you ready?

Welcome the night. Put your worries away
Leave the sirens for a while
Enter the quiet and mysterious place
Let the silence roll the dice

A shadow never lies
We stand on the edge of the world
The gate is open wide
And out of the dark he crawls
Right into your mind

Don't wait for the devil tonight
You're a midnight dreamer
Don't wait for the devil tonight
You're a midnight dreamer
The devil inside

Into the eyes of the fire he breathes
Like a whisper of your fate
Ready to strike on the hour of dreams
when the light has gone away

A shadow never lies
We stand on the edge of the world
The gate is open wide
And out of the dark he crawls
Right into your mind

Don't wait for the devil tonight
You're a midnight dreamer
Don't wait for the devil tonight
You're a midnight dreamer
The devil inside

Don't wait for the devil tonight
You're a midnight dreamer
Don't wait for the devil tonight
You're a midnight dreamer
Don't wait for the devil tonight
You're a midnight dreamer

Don't wait for the devil
Don't wait - Don't wait for the devil
You are the devil inside

On the waves of war
Far away from mortal eyes
The sign of Jolly Roger flies over the undead

Fire and water on the horizon
Is there a world beyond the sea
We all remember the ground of the island
Where we paid the price of our greed

Watching the sun fading from our eyes
When will the wind take us home?

On the waves of war
Ride her ghost into the night
Condemned to carry on forever
On the waves of war
Far away from mortal eyes
The sign of Jolly Roger flies over the undead

Over the ocean like an illusion
Travel the world for land in sight
Sadly the bones shine under the moonlight
Of those neither dead nor alive

Day after day trying to lift the curse
Restore the gold and pay the blood

On the waves of war
Ride her ghost into the night
Condemned to carry on forever
On the waves of war
Far away from mortal eyes
The sign of Jolly Roger flies over the undead

No stormy weather in the eyes of the lost
The shadow of tomorrow is so dark
No stormy weather in the eyes of the lost
The journey onto freedom and the quest for life
Control their minds

Hear the thunder roaring high
Where the everlasting chain of time awaits
One desire in the dead of the night
To the red horizon, Black Pearl sail to find the light

On the waves of war
Ride her ghost into the night
Condemned to carry on forever
On the waves of war
Far away from mortal eyes
The sign of Jolly Roger flies over the undead

By moonlight we carry the flame
But the nightfall won't take away the pain
No shadows awaits on the road
Still the echo of yesterday remains

On a cold and misty journey
In the silence of the woods
We are chasing great illusions
Forever in her realm

She's the lady of the twilight
And the only one who knows
When the trees of sorrow whisper
No one is alive

The eyes of tomorrow are blind
No matter how the wind cries
The sighs of the forest are loud
A sound that never ends

We sail away again
On a broken dream
We've paid the price and more
But still we are not free

We are dying in the rain
Silent dying in the rain
Look out!

Like a million tears of anger
The unspoken fly away
On the lonely road to nowhere
No words are allowed

The wise have abandoned their souls
To wander naked and cold
The proud are invisible fools
Whose failure never ends

We sail away again
On a broken dream
We've paid the price and more
But still we are not free

Dying in the rain
We are dying in the rain
Look out!

Dying in the rain
We are dying in the rain
Dying in the rain
We are dying in the rain

Countdown! The time is right
We got a final war to fight
On the road again
We're blood bound with dynamite

Rise up! It's do or die
There's only one way to survive
Ride against the wind
And don't stop for anyone

Lightning, thunder
They can't break our storm asunder
Aiming higher, it's here and now

Keep on fighting - Never back down or surrender
Keep on fighting - Tell the world you're alive
Keep on fighting - You were born to rock forever
Keep on fighting - There is no compromise

Breakout! It's time to burn
We've heard the call. There's no return
Leave the past behind
And fly straight into the sun

Stand proud and hold your gun
The revolution has begun
There's a world to win
So don't stop until you've won

Lightning, thunder
They can't break our storm asunder
Aiming higher, it's here and now

Keep on fighting - Never back down or surrender
Keep on fighting - Tell the world you're alive
Keep on fighting - You were born to rock forever
Keep on fighting - There is no compromise

All of the time,
Keeping the fight alive
All of the time
Aaaah Aaaah!
Keeping the fight alive until we die

Keep on fighting - Never back down or surrender
Keep on fighting - Tell the world you're alive
Keep on fighting - You were born to rock forever
Keep on fighting - There is no compromise

There's no compromise

Beyond the rainbow
Where the seas are burning
Bells of fate and fortune toll
Heed the warning of the shadow rider

On the fields of honour the battle has begun
Men of war are claiming their rights
Fighting under banners to the bitter end
Unaware of my guarding eye

I'm the lord of the fallen
The great beholder of Life and Death
I'm the lord of the fallen
The one who follows you night and day
When your time is running out
And the angels call your name
I'll be waiting beyond the grave

Hunting at the border in the name of God
Holy knights with blood on their hands
Blinded by the promise of the afterlife
They are all welcomed to my land

I'm the lord of the fallen
The great beholder of Life and Death
I'm the lord of the fallen
The one who follows you night and day
When your time is running out
And the angels call your name
I'll be waiting beyond the grave

Oooh Oooh I'm the shadow rider
Oooh Oooh I'm the shadow rider
Yeeeeeeah
I'm the shadow rider
And I'm coming for you

Don't wait for your salvation to arise
The undying winter never leaves the mind
Black is the path I wander
Black are the clouds I'm under
The uncertain future echoes in the dark

Welcome to the castle of the damned
Come inside and listen to God's hymn to my life

Scarlet blood of the angels are falling down
When my shadow is dancing on the lonely ball of fate
Saddened clouds of oblivion conceal the sun
When my shadow is dancing on the lonely ball of fate

Don't look beyond the border of your life
The enchanting window always fools the eye
Bound to the never changing
Sound of the raven's black wings
We all wear the thorny crown until the end - to the end

Welcome to the final masquerade
Come inside and see the abject symphony play

Scarlet blood of the angels are falling down
When my shadow is dancing on the lonely ball of fate
Saddened clouds of oblivion conceal the sun
When my shadow is dancing on the lonely ball of fate

Learning to die from my requiem
I'm learning to die from my requiem
Learning to die from my requiem
I'm learning to die from my requiem

Scarlet blood of the angels are falling down
When my shadow is dancing on the lonely ball of fate
Saddened clouds of oblivion conceal the sun
When my shadow is dancing on the lonely ball of fate

Have you forgotten the end of your dream
Are you afraid of tomorrow
Will you remember the song of the earth
When there is no light to follow?

When the dark lord appears
To embrace our mortal souls
Will you then be strong and believe
Or welcome the tears of rage to your eyes

Father of shadows and father of time
You are the guardian of our lives
Father of shadows and father of time
Who will be guarding us when your eyes are closed

Have you abandoned the path of the brave
To roam in silence forever
Only the burden of losses remains
Inside the void of your chamber

When the dark lord appears
To embrace our mortal souls
Will you then be strong and believe
Or welcome the tears of rage

Father of shadows and father of time
You are the guardian of our lives
Father of shadows and father of time
Who will be guarding us when your eyes are closed

You are the guardian of our lives
Father of shadows and father of time
You are the guardian of our lives
Father of shadows and father of time
Who will be guarding us when your eyes are closed

Sometimes I hear your voice
Far away, calling my name but I know
The words in the wind are my own
