01. The Gate (Intro)

[Instrumental]

02. Flyin' High

[1. Verse:]
Ride through the air, heavenly stair
Over mountains, forests and seas
Mystical clouds, creatures around
Stealin' the air that I breathe

[Bridge:]
All alone on the wings of an eagle
Catchin' the eye of the storm
And you wish to put on a curse
On the day you were born

[Chorus:]
Flyin' high
Through the dark of the night
Do or die on the edge of a rainbow

Flyin' high
Safer place out of sight
Touch the sky and feelin' the wind blow

[2. Verse:]
The journey goes on through the twilight of shadows
Passing the moon and the sun
Stars are shining like the eyes of the devil
Lucifer's breed on the run

03. Cold Heaven

[1. Verse:]
You call yourself a lady
With innocent eyes
But your mind drive's me crazy
A devil in disguise
Burnin' nights of passion
Lasting from dusk till dawn
Falling in and out of romance
Forever on and on

[Bridge:]
The heart of the moment's hiding your cold
Hearted lies
Inordinate torment
A waste of time

[Chorus:]
Cold heaven
Feels like hell
You're heart's like a stone /
[2nd:] You drive me insane
Cold heaven
Nothing more to tell
Better leave you alone /
[2nd:] Love's not a game

[2. Verse:]
I used to be your romeo
Your master of sin
But you behave like a gambler
Playing games you can't win
Extinguish the fire
Been blinded by the flame
But there's no more desire
Don't want to feel your pain

04. Strong As A Rock

[1. Verse:]
Looking back at your own
Life lost life, which once was so strong
You ruined your body, toxic indication
Back to the wall, too weak to rock the nation

[Bridge:]
Looking up to the sun in the sky
To higher places, but I don't wanna die

[Chorus:]
Strong as a rock
On the edge to the sky
Strong as a rock
See the angels fly
Strong as a rock
The abyss calls out your name
Strong as a rock
It's yourself you have to blame

[2. Verse:]
Seeing faces on the wall
The monkey on your back, cold turkey's coming home
No escape out of this nightmare
Back in rehab, last try of despair

05. Forever Angel

[1. Verse:]
You were born on judgement day
But you don't care and go your own way
Your living your life and you made your own laws
Fellowship forever, your freeing your souls

[Bridge:]
Riding with the brothers
Through the wind and the rain
You're proud of your color
and can feel no pain

[Chorus:]
Forever angel
Keep on riding
And fight for your rights
Forever angel
Roaring thunder
Through endless nights

[2. Verse:]
Sometimes it seems that you're dancing with the devil
And you recognize that the price for freedom is high
The brotherhood in your life is your highest call
Your the chosen ones, all for one and for all

06. Legions Of Hell

[1. Verse:]
From the distance came the thunder
And took their breath away
Eternal lights forever
The price they had to pay

[2. Verse:]
The storm of death is comin'
Through the wind and rain
The midnight bell is tolling
The mob is on it's way

[Bridge:]
No one dared to stand in their way
Or else they had to pay

[Chorus:]
They don't know
They don't know
They're the legions of hell
They don't know
Where to go
And they're casting the spell

[3. Verse:]
Echoes in the darkness
Which are hiding from the light
Wheels of time kept turning
The moon ain't shining bright

[4. Verse:]
Black sun on the horizon
The air turned to dust
Rules made from evil
And the water turned to blood

[B-Part:]
The forces of hell,
Infernal lights, demonic nights

[Adlibs:]
We are the legion, the legions of hell
When they're casting the spell
I wish you well
From the distance from far away they had to pay
I wish you well
That's why they are the legions of hell

07. Only The Strong Will Survive

[1. Verse:]
They heard the call from the evil vault
And raised their swords in the air
Kings and Queens, the evil dreams
Their hearts full of steel and despair

[Bridge:]
Rain and thunder
The lightning strikes the earth
And a thousand warriors
They lived and died by the sword

[Chorus:]
On the run
Only the strong will survive
Get on down
Can't escape from the hideaway
On the run
Only the strong will survive
On the wings of no return
Will they ever learn

[2. Verse:]
The battle cry, the call to die
the witch is cating the spell
"Oh Lord" they prayed, no time to wait
don't want to fall into hell

08. Sailing Away

[1. Verse:]
She was the queen of evil
Ridin' on the storm
With the heart of the devil
Will we ever learn

[2. Verse:]
She called the rolling thunder
Cold wind and rain
Tearin' waves from down under
They still can feel the pain

[Bridge:]
Still a long way to go
They were lost in the zone
Dreamin' of a holy wonder
No time to return

[3. Verse:]
They're ridin' to the tower
On the ship of the lost
Storm made of power
And the hull turned to dust

[Chorus:]
Sailing away
Into the fire
Sailing away
Lost children of the sea

09. Take The Crown

[Intro words:]
Long ago in the enchanted land
They lived in fear and had a hard stand

[1. Verse:]
In the distance beyond the sundown
Down to the world of purgatory
Holy night, the cry of the angels
They chose the one, the one to kill the king

[Bridge:]
They'd been living in a nightmare
In a world of hate and full of despair

[Chorus:]
Take the crown
And take your life in your own hands
Drawbridge down
The night of the demon dance
Take the crown
We're fighting united
Turn it down
Down to the ground

[2. Verse:]
On and on they fought till dawn
The chosen lords of doom
Going down down down the knights are around
Till the rising of the moon

[2. Bridge:]
No more living in the shadows
Released from grace and the bell it tolls

10. Sea Of Evil

[1. Verse:]
They were sailing on the ship of the damned
Straight on the ocean to an unholy land
Sirens were calling, only exist to believe
Longing for their souls, possessed by the misty morning

[Bridge:]
Lights were shining
From far away
Praying for a wonder
They don't want here to stay

[2. Verse:]
Their thoughts were blinded, the tide's turning high
Searching for fool's gold under the blackened sky
The sea is deep and it wait's endlessly
Hungry for souls, for you and for me

[Bridge:]
Lights were shining
From far away
Praying for a wonder
They don't want here to stay

[Chorus:]
Sea of evil
So many born to die
Sea of evil
Leaving tears in the sky
Sea of evil
Never asking why
Sea of evil
A heavenly cry

[3. Verse:]
Northern lights once shined so bright
In a wonderful heaven, now are hiding in the night
The mood turned Zero, hearing echoes in the dark
The colors of a rainbow were in need of their spark
