Tracks



01. Storming The Castle

Tonight, tonight we will rise
We've come this far, there is no turning back this time
It's time, we're going over the wall
With the element of surprise on our side the fortress will fall
The king, the king has been warned
In due time his blood will cover my sword
It's time to set your arrows alight
With out strength in numbers their stronghold will fall on this night
This night we will fight to the death
We'll hold the king's head high and his body we'll feed to the rats

Tonight we're storming the castle
Tonight we're storming the castle

It's time, once the main gate is down
Wecan force our way in and burn the whole damned place to the ground
To the ground, we'll watch it burn
With the kind dead we'll be far past the point of no return
The point of return...no return

Tonight we're storming the castle
Tonight we're storming the castle

02. Capture The Magic

Behind the looking glass is a world of its own
Reflecting a distant past, imagery of the unknown
A vision that chills to the bone

Have you ever felt like you were facing the end
Never to see the light of day again?
You feel it in your heart, it's tearing you apart
Until an empty soul is all that remains

In order to see it - the secret is second sight

Capture the magic

Once you have seen it with your own eyes
You will believe the mirror cannot lie

In order to see it - the secret is second sight

Capture the magic
Capture the magic

What once was just a dream is now reality
Don't let it pass you by again
Look deep within your mind, eternal life you will find
Your spirit takes you to another plane

In order to see it - the secret is second sight

Capture the magic
Capture the magic

03. Soothsayer

As she reads my palms, her crystal shone like the sun
She said she was nearing her end and that I was a chosen one
With one turn of her hourglass years gone by like the shifting sand
In search of the lonely one who's been burned by the gypsy's brand

Soothsayer, spellbinder, I'm looking for you
You hold the key, an end to the mystery
And it all comes down to you
Soothsayer

The stars that cross the sky lit like a candle's flame
I knew for my curse that the gypsy was to blame
She spoke of the prophecy that I was doomed to walk the land
Forewarned by the tarot card, turned by the gypsy's hand

Soothsayer, spellbinder, I'm looking for you
You hold the key, and end to the mystery
And it call comes down to you
Soothsayer

Some many years have passed since I've heard the gypsy's bell
So many men have died under the weight of her spell
Now I wear the mark and bear the gypsy's name
With this my end is near and you'll feel the gypsy's pain

Soothsayer, spellbinder, I'm coming for you
You've held the key, and end to the mystery
And it all comes down to you
Soothsayer

04. Forevermore

Two young lovers unite in the land of the rising sun
She's the daughter of a tyrant, he's a mighty shogun
She knows they will never part, he knows they both must die

He has disgraced his family name, there is no way they can live with the shame
Now he draws his sword

With a swift twist of his blade their bodies were bled dry
As the sun falls in an eastern sky

She swore to never leave his side, and now in death on an endless wind they ride

Their forbidden love lasts forevermore
Their forbidden love...forevermore

And to this day you can still see their eyes crying tears of love as they fade into the night
Their hearts feed and eternal fire, burning on the hot winds of desire

Their forbidden love lasts forevermore
Their forbidden love...forevermore
Their forbidden love...forevermore

Forevermore!

05. The Ghost Of Xavior Holmes

As he sailed into the shadows of darkness
He prayed to once again see the light of day

In the vessel's log a dying man had written;
"I've lost my captain & crew to a darkened watery grave...

I'm so alone, trying to stay alive"

Xavior Holmes, fighting to survive
Heading out into the uncharted regions of the sea

"I'm so alone, eternally sailing into the night"

Xavior Holmes, now realizing that he had died
Never to find his resting place near the Inn By The Sea

Among the crew, brave mariners and friends
With the passengers, the captain's wife, and a bride to be
Why is he the only one left, drifting forever on?
It seems like it's been midnight since the time of the storm
...since that storm

In the vessel's log the long dead man had written;
"What should have been a routine trip has cost the lives of sixteen"

Just off the coast of Richmond's Island the craft tipped on to one side

Xavior Holmes, never made it to Portland that night
Yet the Schooner Charles still sails on and out of sight...

06. Darklands

A foreboding sign, as time turned a page
In a land condemned to night
The few men that remain, took to the plains
In an eternal battle for light...

No sun to brighten the way, nothing to divide the night from the day
No moon to sustain the tide, as if the planet itself has died
Yet the warriors still search on and on
Fire, to hold the flame, is a power they have yet to tame
Their need to survive, leads their way as they ride
And the warriors still search on and on
Farther across the Darklands, the Darklands

Men of will, surely damned, on a tireless quest across the sand
On the edge of a molten sea, is where the sacred fire is said to be
And the warriors still search on and on
Farther across the Darklands, the Darklands

The years gone by, in the blink of an eye
For generations they've been looking for a sign

...And the warriors still search on and on
Farther across the Darklands, the Darklands...

07. Nemeton Forest

Far across the plains, beyond the hunter's eye
Stood an ancient monolith binding the land to sky
Within the darkened woods

Remains unseen for centuries, a Celtic denomination
The legends told a story of old and the secrets to its location

A fantasy that once seemed so unreal
Now a truth that can no longer be concealed

The Nemeton beyond the realms of time,
The forest where the Druids made their shrine
The Nemeton

Now we will see, its sanctity with a crystal clear vision
A neopagan clan, and the spirit of the land
Bringing forth the old religion

A fantasy that once seemed so unreal
Now a truth that can no longer be concealed

The Nemeton beyond the realms of time
The forest where the Druids made their shrine

A fantasy that once seemed so unreal
Now a truth that can no longer be concealed

The Nemeton
The Nemeton

08. Awakening The Mountain Giants

Alone outside his village, a young man hunts with crafted bow
His tribe would surely banish him, if they ever were to know
The elders had taught him, even in times of peril
Never raise arms against any of nature's creatures

Or you could wake the giants, the Mountain Giants

One the other side of the valley, a rival clan prepares for war
The counsel and their tall tales would be no match for the mighty sword
In the hands of savages
How could they protect their homes?

An old man spoke, "Nature will awaken the giants as she did in the days of old"

The archers and warriors drew closer with every breath
The people of the village were sure to meet their deaths
Then rocks and earth did tremble, and with a shield splitting sound
The mountains rose to the air trampling the armies to the ground

They had awakened the giants, the Mountain Giants

The hills have all been resting for generations gone by
Now the old man tells stories about hunting as a child

And how he saw the giants, the Mountain Giants, oh yes the giants...

09. S.A.T.O

Now I find peace of mind
Finally found a way of thinking
Tried the rest found the best
Stormy day won't see me sinking

I can't conceal it like I know I did before
I got to tell you now the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore

Dare to look face the test
On the eve when you set sailing
What you've learned what you've earned
Ship of joy will stop you failing

I can't conceal it like I know I did before
I got to tell you now the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore

Wind is high so am I
As the shore sinks in the distance
Dreams unfold seek the gold
Gold that's brighter than the sunlight

Sail away see the day
Dawning on a new horizon
Gold's insight shining bright
Brighter than the sun that's rising
