He had walked the Earth for a thousand years
He had sworn to the brotherhood of the astral seers
The oath of future tellers
They say he dwells on the mountain tall
Once sentenced to death, for holding stars as thrall
Yet wandering the lands

Bereft of his soul on the rivers of the Netherworld
As the scorching waves whirled
He had passed through the tall gates,
As an empty shadow
The legends still told of his astral spells
Surpassed of all known, the universe he held
The fate of all mankind

If find him you must, a hooded presence you seek
Under the nebula, on the highest peak
Traverse into forests and wastelands vast
And ask the oracle of the future past

Foretell of my future, oh what dost thou see?
Oh, wisest of men, what dost life hold for me?
As my quest for answers now has begun

You will search the Earth for the astral seer
You will lose all your loved ones, whom you hold dear
A pursuit of revelations
Your above will become an illusion sky
Beholding the stars, as life will pass you by
And you may not return

Tyrant, words can't describe you
The violence you brought on her
Now her silence tells me all I need to hear
Who are you?
Expose any of this No one will forgive you
Thy nightmare has come

Don't look back
Shadows grow if hate is given
Tears will fall, but don't let him take you deeper
An arrow that's forged in the fire of spite can split the heart of the most evil knight
Tighten the bow and let go of your pain a shot of relief goes away

A seed into the earth once planted grew into a poisoned tree
The Crown darkened the soil ruined the ground with its roots and leaves No living ever came near in fear of hate and death the plague it spread
Til one day the gods had enough
Lightning struck, and burned it down

This time the seekers of vengeance have found you
Facing the beast you’ve become
Friends of all those you’ve done wrong
Outnumbered, surrounded by justice
Their will be done
Thy nightmare begun

When the final dusk is near voices will not disappear they will follow you to rest
When you're left there on the shore not allowed to cross the water for a hundred years or more
You will beg for their forgiveness

[Instrumental]

The moon was bowing to the sun
Shifted places, day begun
Then the sunbeams laid their hands
On the beautiful and damned

Singing voices filled the air
The wealth inside was never shared
Just imagine what it was
like a piece of heaven, now it's lost

The fire is loose
Run and take cover
We’re under attack
Flee or you die


From holes in the stone walls
They're coming right for us
Brave men now stand up
Semyra will fall

Blinded by faith I was wrong
The holy land’s army’s too strong
For glory and pride draw your swords
We’ll defend her until we fall

The storm sweeps away, lonely
Stand here betrayed, ruins
Once we stood tall, golden
This was my home

Screams of pain echo
I whisper your name, one last time
Once we stood tall, mighty
This was my home
Now it’s gone

The fire is loose
Run and take cover
We’re under attack the city will fall
From holes in the stone walls
They're coming right for us
Brave men now stand up

Semyra will fall,
Semyra will fall

Closer, we're getting closer my friend,
You guide me on my way
The road is tricky and wolves amongst us
The light will lead us to the end
Will lead us to the Star Rider
Star Rider
You can't escape your fate

Seeking, we have been searching for him
The path has lead us here
The light’s been swallowed by the shadows
No further can we go
But our quest stand above
We have to find the Star Rider
Star Rider
You can't escape your fate

Star Rider
Raised in shadows
He betrayed his masters
You can't escape your fate
Star Rider
You can't escape your fate

The landscape shines in silverlight
The path he walks holds his future not past
A prophet resides in the underworld
The man who holds all the answers
Surrounded by night,
All alone he must fight
Soon his fate to be sealed, will he ever return

Black vultures, circling, watching you
Screaming ghouls, hungry for prey in the dark
They're after you
Remember everyone whom you hold dear
You might make it through the night
He knows and he will be there
Expecting you

He renounced his king, now banished by law
In his heart he knows he must prove them wrong
No more a slave, a breaker of chains
Not afraid to die revealing the truth

The gate he must find
In the depths of his mind
Soon his fate to be sealed
Will he ever return

The black dessert sleeps under his tired feet
an infinite field in the colour of death
Keep struggling on brave, brave soldier
The gate to the underworld is now unlocked
Hurry up!

Dangers lurking on forbidden ground
Lord of wisdom, could he be found
A whole world’s sleeping, enchanted by a lie
As dawn approaches, there's not much time

In deepest of shadows, where only the dead belong, the knight found himself
Evil lingered in every corner, waiting for the one to appear
In total silence the knight was stunned by a silhouette,
that appeared from the shadows with a dagger in his hand

The eyes of the phantom glowed red
With a rapid gesture, it raised its blade and struck the knight
Our hero was fallen to the ground left all alone in the darkness
Was he to be saved?

Have a look over the hills
There are mountains far as your eyes reach
What's beyond is for your dreams
Your illusions are what they are made of

There are skies blue as the oceans
By the night full of stars and explosions
Far away, no chance to get closer
Shut your eyes, let the images take you away

Everything’s fading, turning around
All of your visions wrap you in trance
Deep in your mind it is what you seek
Realitys waiting soon it is here
Closer and deeper you fall into danger

He had walked the earth for a thousand years
He had sworn to find the keeper of the astral spheres
He had wandered the path on the day that was his last
And had become but excerpts from a future past
