Messed up, once again
Told me it's OK
But this path that I'm taking
I'm lost in the deep end

One last chance, never more
Told me it's all right
In this sea of denial
I'm cleansed in the fire

So why is it me,
Am I blinded or too blind to see?
[growl] (am I too blind to see?!)
Why was I born?
Not a part of this society?

Again and again I tried
So hard, to reach for the stars
But I failed you all
Tried to keep standing tall
Never had a real chance at all
But still I'm searching

Same thing, different day
Tried to make a change
Left with nothing more to live for
But everything to die for
Humanity, insanity, the everlasting grip
Lost all will to keep trying
Our bed we must lie in

So why was I born
Not a part of this society?

Again and again I tried
So hard, to reach for the stars
But I failed you all
Tried to keep standing tall
Never had a real chance at all
But still I'm searching for

[chorus]
Ten thousand ways to say sorry
But life writes its own tragic story
Time marches onwards and
Nothing can ever be the same

But we'll pray for a brighter tomorrow
Break free from this lifetime of sorrow
Years pass us by but we're all just a part of the game

[solos]

[2x]
I tried so hard
To reach for the stars
But I failed you all
Tried to keep standing tall
Never had a real chance at all
But still I'm searching

[chorus]
For ten thousand ways to say sorry
But life writes its own tragic story
Time marches onwards and
Nothing can ever be the same

But we'll pray for a brighter tomorrow
Break free from this lifetime of sorrow
Years pass us by but we're all just a part of the game

Candles burning, the hours turning
A countdown the day that we're born
Don't look backwards, keep driving forwards
The rose withers but not the thorns

If you want it, then you can take it
Just seize it before it's too late
And if all fails, get back on your feet
There's always another today but still we'll

Pray for one last chance to prove we all belong
Through the dark nights and cold days while time marches on

In this life we're running out of days
We're running out of time, ignoring it's a crime
No regrets, just one shot at glory
Is all we got before we die
Sands of time are slipping through our hands
So try and understand and do it while you can
Don't look back, just one shot at glory
Is all it takes to feel alive

Anger rising with endless fighting
But soon you'll be finally free
Find your way through this endless maze
Be the one that you wanted to be

Pray for one last chance to prove we all belong
Through the dark nights and cold days while time marches on

In this life we're running out of days
We're running out of time, ignoring it's a crime
No regrets, just one shot at glory
Is all we got before we die
Sands of time are slipping through our hands
So try and understand and do it while you can
Don't look back, just one shot at glory
Is all it takes to feel alive

Fear not a twisted future, no matter what it brings
Can't you see now, you're all tomorrow's kings
Tomorrow's kings!

Pray for one last chance to prove we all belong
Through the dark nights and cold days while time marches on

In this life we're running out of days
We're running out of time, ignoring it's a crime
No regrets, just one shot at glory
Is all we got before we die
Sands of time are slipping through our hands
So try and understand and do it while you can
Don't look back, just one shot at glory
Is all it takes to feel alive

The light is shining
Still I'm not so surprised
One thousand voice mails
For one thousand lies

Blind faith, lost trust
All along it was plain to see
Years passed, lost touch
Leads the path to insanity

Take another shot, show me what you got
It was never gonna last forever
Open your eyes, try and realize
Once is enough so tonight now I say

No more, from a voice that breaks the awkward silence
No more, never heard so loud before
Made the same mistakes a thousand times
Never meant to be like this so I say
No more tonight
And it feels all right

Dark nights, long passed
Waking up from a pointless dream
Brighter days, brighter times
Hides the fatal reality

Questions, answers
False addiction to nothing real
Lights fade, crushed to dust
Desperation in tragedy

Take another shot, show me what you got
It was never gonna last forever
Open your eyes, try and realize
Once is enough so tonight now I say

No more, from a voice that breaks the awkward silence
No more, never heard so loud before
Made the same mistakes a thousand times
Never meant to be like this so I say
No more tonight
And it feels all right

(No more) Same old game we play together
(No more) Time will pass, we'll still remember
(No more) But tonight this game is over
(No more) Strangers in the night forever

No more, from a voice that breaks the awkward silence
No more, never heard so loud before
Made the same mistakes a thousand times
Never meant to be like this so I say
No more tonight
And it feels all right

And it feels all right

Lost long ago through the ages of time
Once ruled immortal, the guardians of light
Bonded together, they stood side by side
Storm winds brought darkness, the world in decline

Quest for their hammers to reclaim the throne
Three brought together by warriors unknown
United to vanquish all hell from the earth
Conquering glory, the kingdom's rebirth

Raise your swords, sound the final war cry
Stand, fight, fight for your lives
Thousands will die but their deaths not in vain
Now reunited our world may be free once again

Three hammers high, in the burning red sky
Forged in the fire, protectors of mankind
Three hammers high, for the world we unite
Fight for our lives, as we hold up the three hammers high

Long have we traveled through forgotten lands
From coldest valleys to burning red sands
Restless we ride through the depths of all hell
Triumph and agony, death will prevail

Raise your swords, sound the final war cry
Stand, fight, fight for your lives
Strike back with vengeance, 'til death we defend
Until the day that the dragons will rise once again

Three hammers high, in the burning red sky
Forged in the fire, protectors of mankind
Three hammers high, for the world we unite
Fight for our lives, as we hold up the three hammers high

Strike down the unbelievers
March on for justice we now stand
Once more the path for glory
Take back the power in our hands

Long years of terror and the long years of pain
Still marching onwards 'til victory's ours once again
Victory's ours once again

Three hammers high, in the burning red sky
Forged in the fire, protectors of mankind
Three hammers high, for the world we unite
Fight for our lives, as we hold up the three hammers high

Hiding in the fog
Where darkness meets the moonlight
I will sing a melody 'til the morning comes
Living for you only
Take my hand and show me
There will be much sorrow when the morning comes

Fearless I'm fighting the pain burns inside of me
Find the forces of my soul
No one can understand me
Am I condemned to ride the blackest night alone?

Tragic painting on the walls
In this castle where affliction reigns
So many died in vain
Hear their distant cries
Never again!

This is my symphony
My dark blessing falls from the skies
I hear the voice
Rising from the void
Of the memories gone by
Dark is the path for me
I'll find my peace another way
Under the stars where we'll shine again some day

Torment and sadness unleashed through these corridors
Fear is leading to the night
Bloodline of vampires doomed to fulfill their need
Once united by the light
Father! Look into my eyes
I shall kill you tonight to avenge
All those who died in vain
Hear their distant cries
Never again!

This is my symphony
My dark blessing falls from the skies
I hear the voice
Rising from the void
Of the memories gone by
Dark is the path for me
I'll find my peace another way
Under the stars where we'll shine again some day

[Solo]

This is my symphony
My dark blessing falls from the skies
I hear the voice
Rising from the void
Of the memories gone by
Dark is the path for me
I'll find my peace another way
Under the stars where we'll shine again some day

'Til the stars where we'll shine again some day
'Til the stars where we'll shine again some day

Inception
Death's guiding us away
We fight 'til the end
Among the ruins
Illusion
Of brighter days ahead
Through confusion and hatred, we try to understand
In silence we stand alone

Caught in the eye
A quest for life beneath the stormy sky
The strength to rise again

Time to realize
Our race has come to nothing
We'll start it all again

The sun is dead now
Fading away forever
The darkness prevails now
But with the prayers of the dead
Now a new light ascends from the stars

Confusion
The sadness and the pain
Matricide, the earth is now dead
Remember the brighter days
When hope and joy were shining in our hearts
Times have changed now, we suffer yet try to understand
In silence, we stand alone

Caught in the eye
The fragments of my past to realize
It's time to rise again

In the world's demise
Our race has come to nothing
We'll start it all again

The sun is dead now
Fading away forever
The darkness prevails now
But with the prayers of the dead
Now a new light ascends from the stars

The sun is dead now
But in the end, what did we learn?

The sun is dead now
Fading away forever
The darkness prevails now
But with the prayers of the dead
Now a new light ascends from the stars

Now a new light ascends from the stars

Life's uncertain, a rat-race of pain
Endlessly searching for more
Hopeless and needless, held back by the chains
'Til we can't take anymore

Hold on, stay strong
Breaking out from the past life fading
No more, what for?
All we got is to keep on praying

Pray for the done for their lives in dismay
Witness the final decay
Suffering in silence for years we were blind
But now we got something to say

Hold on, stay strong
'Til the end, not afraid of dying
No more, what for?
Nothing left but to keep on fighting

[Pre-chorus:]
United, incited, not misguided
We'll fight through time before our one true destiny
Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided
This day foretold now here for all to see

[Chorus:]
So free in the blue skies with time marches on
Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold
Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time
Cleansed in a kingdom of fire

Legions of darkness from beyond the grave
Spill their blood under the sun
Voices are calling with anger and rage
The final war now has begun

Hold on, stay strong
'Til the end, not afraid of dying
No more, what for?
Nothing left but to keep on fighting

[Pre-chorus:]
United, incited, not misguided
We'll fight through time before our one true destiny
Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided
This day foretold now here for all to see

So free in the blue skies with time marches on
Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold
Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time
Cleansed in a kingdom of unholy fire

Hear our call, save us all
Standing tall tonight

The flame will slowly fade away
The shadows of our lives
We wash away the memories
Before the last sunrise

We'll keep holding on
In times of changes
Standing strong against the wind
Until the end of time

[Solo]

Hold on, stay strong
'Til the end, not afraid of dying
No more, what for?
Nothing left but to keep on fighting

[Pre-chorus:]
United, incited, not misguided
We'll fight through time before our one true destiny
Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided
This day foretold now here for all to see

So free in the blue skies with time marches on
Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold
Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time
Cleansed in a kingdom of unholy fire

[2x]
Hear our call, save us all
Standing tall tonight

"Uh, we got a kill-streak coming up if anyone's interested."

It's getting late at night by a freezing moon
The time is running out and the end is soon
An army in despair, don't know what to do

Impure thoughts are raging in this empty room
The victims are escaping, now we shall regroup
The times are getting tougher as we face our doom

A circus of horrors waiting just for you
The barrel's bottom, anything will do
So take my hand and I will lead you right into

Extraction zone, the zone
You can make yourself at home
Extraction zone, your zone
You don't have to feel alone
Where dreams become reality
And standards will now cease to be
So live your life in the extraction zone

Another place, another time, we carry on
Not getting any easier 'cause we're getting on
A creature from another world, it's gone all wrong

A circus of horrors waiting just for you
The barrel's bottom, anything will do
So take my hand and I will lead you right into

Extraction zone, the zone
You can make yourself at home
Extraction zone, your zone
You don't have to feel alone
Where dreams become reality
And standards will now cease to be
So live your life in the extraction zone

As a new dawn will rise
I promise myself, not again
But deep in my heart
The fire still burns just the same
It's just the same

A circus of horrors waiting just for you
The barrel's bottom, anything will do
So take my hand and I will lead you right into

Extraction zone, your zone
You can make yourself at home
Extraction zone, the zone
You don't have to feel alone
Where dreams become reality
And standards will now cease to be
So live your life in the extraction zone

Her dream was to shine on the screen
Thought that was why she was born
Left all behind without a fear inside
But sometimes there's no lucky star to help you

Sun will go down, and she's all alone
Can't help but feel insecure
She'll never stop, the way to the top
Is more than she had bargained for

Her quest for the glory was real
But somehow it turned out all wrong
Heartache was never a part of the dream
Can't find a reason to keep on trying

Turn out the light, 'cause deep in the night
She's like the thousands before
Hold out your hand, there's hope at the end
But be careful what you wish for

Now the lights are all gone
You find yourself on your own
Welcome the night 'cause not all that glitters is gold

Now the city has gone
You find your own way back home
Keep up the fight and you'll find your Kingdom of Gold

Another night out on the streets
Finding a way to survive
Wasting your chances, destroying your dreams
Counting the tears that you cry

Hiding the pain, it drives you insane
But still you're craving for more
So give me your hand, hold on 'til the end
And you can have what you wish for

Now the lights are all gone
You find yourself on your own
Welcome the night 'cause not all that glitters is gold

Now the city has gone
You find your own way back home
Keep up the fight and you'll find your Kingdom of Gold

Now the lights are all gone
You find yourself on your own
Welcome the night 'cause not all that glitters is gold

Now the lights are all gone
You find yourself on your own
Welcome the night 'cause not all that glitters is gold

Now the city has gone
You find your own way back home
Keep up the fight and you'll find your Kingdom of Gold

[Originally by Johnny Cash]

Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by a wild desire
And I fell right into a great ring of fire

And I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down as the flames were rising higher
And it burns, burns, burns,
And it burns, burns, burns,
In a ring of fire

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts just like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
But I jumped right in and the fire went wild

When I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down as the flames were rising higher
And it burns, burns, burns,
And it burns, burns, burns,
In a ring of fire

Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by a wild desire
And I fell right into a great ring of fire

And I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down as the flames were rising higher
And it burns, burns, burns,
And it burns, burns, burns,
In a ring of fire

A black cloud now falls on this city
But under the lights
Been searching for answers but this time, you
You feel so alive

Just free your own mind, it's not easy
To give all you've got
'Cause no one can stop you from climbing this mountain
And making the top

Run, strive for the fame
Blood of the game, that we play time and again
It's up to you to break these chains

Reasons to live, reasons to die
Live for the power and glory
Never give up, reach for the top
Find your own path and tonight we'll make it
Reasons to live, reasons to die
Live for the power and glory
Never give up, reach for the top
Find your own path and tonight we'll make it
All right

Now everyone wants to be something
A feeling so strong
But only one thing really matters
A place to belong

Don't spend all your days in the shadows
You're not on your own
But just keep on fighting
'Cause you'll never know you've got 'til it's gone

Run, strive for the fame
Blood of the game, that we play time and again
It's up to you to break these chains

Reasons to live, reasons to die
Live for the power and glory
Never give up, reach for the top
Find your own path and tonight we'll make it
Reasons to live, reasons to die
Live for the power and glory
Never give up, reach for the top
Find your own path and tonight we'll make it
All right

Reasons to live, reasons to die
Live for the power and glory

Reasons to live, reasons to die
Live for the power and glory
Never give up, reach for the top
Find your own path and tonight we'll make it
Reasons to live, reasons to die
Live for the power and glory
Never give up, reach for the top
Find your own path and tonight we'll make it
All right

Emptiness, tears inside,
On the night before she died
Strong the fire that burns so bright inside of me

Through the years, through it all,
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
Never gave up the fight but tonight you'll be free.

All the tears in my own heart beating.
But I want you to know.

High the mountain we must climb
So far beyond the ocean's tide
We're torn apart but soon we'll all be home.
And our hearts forevermore entwined
We'll save the night we said goodbye,
No matter where you are, you're not alone.

Long nights on a road we cry
Cold thoughts of a brighter time.
An empty picture in an empty frame
Won't you take me away?

All the pain through my own life's end.
'Til the end of our days.

High the mountain we must climb
So far beyond the ocean's tide
We're torn apart but soon we'll all be home.
And our hearts forevermore entwined.
We'll save the night we said goodbye.
No matter where you are, you're not alone.

High the mountain we must climb so far beyond the ocean's tide.
We're torn apart but soon we'll all be home.
High the mountain we must climb so far beyond the ocean's tide.
We're torn apart but soon we'll all be home.
And our hearts forevermore entwined
We'll save the night we said goodbye.

No matter where you are, you're not alone...

Another night, another inner fight
The demon's calling
My soul is dark, but with a touch of light
The whole world's changing

I draw the line, the pleasure redefined
It's now awakening
I feel the urge, emotions on the verge
And now it's time to kill

The speed of light, I feel the time is right
I've smashed all boundaries
A skull crushed, adrenaline rush
The night has found me

Infection spreads, a spirit through my head
The time is coming
I know the score, but I gotta have one more
And for more I could kill

I am what I choose to be, I lose grip on reality
And I have nothing to atone
All your morals thrown in vain, I know my pleasure is my pain
But I'm gonna make it on my own

The sun is up, but I can't get enough
The sky's the limit
I'm on the top, but I ain't gonna stop
I'll never give in

It's in my brain, it's driving me insane
Hallucinations
Always the same, but I ain't gonna save
Destruction, I must kill

I am what I choose to be, I lose grip on reality
And I have nothing to atone
All your morals thrown in vain, I know my pleasure is my pain
But I'm gonna make it on my own

I've seen the sun rise once again
I've lived my life and now I'm dead
Time to come down all on my own

This is nothing new for me
This is my reality
So open your eyes and don't ever hide away

I am what I choose to be, I lose grip on reality
And I have nothing to atone
All your morals thrown in vain, I know my pleasure is my pain
But I'm gonna make it on my own

[Originally by Shadow Warriors]

Coming down from the mountain ranges
For the battle of ancient ages
Fight hard for the warrior soul
Wage war, ride on 'til our destiny calls

Through the valley of black wind, burning sun
See the warrior fight, the time has come
Fight on for the powerful Lord
March on, stand strong 'til the end of the world

When the sun and stars will align again
And the land is dark and gone
And the ring of fire will be born again
For the one

We just want to dream about it
We die to believe without it
The fire in our hearts, in our song
The price at the gates far beyond

And when the hands of all the nation will arise
And as the sun will shine across the blazing skies
Through the wind and through the trees
For the honor of family, black ninja ride on
Fight to be free

For our fallen fathers we will fight
For the glory of master through the night
Over mountains, by the sea
To the land far away where the warrior lives
See the ninja ride with evil sword
For the power of powerful overlord
March on for the glory of all
Ride on, fight hard for the warrior call

When the sun and stars will align again
And the land is dark and gone
And the ring of fire will be born again
For the one

We just want to dream about it
We die to believe without it
The fire in our hearts, in our song
The price at the gates far beyond

When the sun and stars will align again
And the land is dark and gone
And the ring of fire will be born again
For the one

We just want to dream about it
We die to believe without it
The fire in our hearts, in our song
The price at the gates far beyond

And when the hands of all the nation will arise
And as the sun will shine across the blazing skies
Through the wind and through the trees
For the honor of family, black ninja ride on
Fight to be free

Sometimes we play, sometimes we lose
With pride or with shame
Sometimes a dream turns into dust
But who's there to blame?

Try not to forget, and to understand
And read between the lines
Get back on your feet, you've got one more chance
To make it right this time

The reason we stand
Facing the rising sun the pain goes on and on
We hold deep inside the power to guide us until we touch the sky

The reason we stand with pride
Is the will to live and to reach for the stars
So never look back and we'll keep on fighting until we touch the sky

Sometimes the pain burns deep inside
And all seems in vain
Sometimes the fear darkens the path
And leads us astray

Tears in our eyes and our hopes are fading away
But revenge is sweet, get back on your feet
'Cause a war is upon us today

The reason we stand
Facing the rising sun the pain goes on and on
We hold deep inside the power to guide us until we touch the sky

The reason we stand with pride
Is the will to live and to reach for the stars
So never look back, you're always just one step away

[Solo]

The reason we stand
Facing the rising sun the pain goes on and on
We hold deep inside the power to guide us until we touch the sky

The reason we stand with pride
Is the will to live and to reach for the stars
So never look back, and we'll keep fighting until we touch the sky

(The reason we stand)
The reason we stand
(Facing the rising sun the pain goes on and on)
Pain goes on and on
(We hold deep inside the power to fighting until we touch the sky)
Fighting until we touch the sky

(Ah will to live and to reach for the stars)
The power we hold deep inside until we touch the sky
One step away!

Just one step away!
Touch the sun
Touch the sun
Touch the sun

[Instrumental]
