Looking through the keyhole
As you hear the thunder roar
You see the lightening flashing
But you know not what it's for
There looks to be a stallion
With a rider on it's back
You have seen him pass
And know that he'll be back
He looks to be a wizard
Or perhaps a magic man
With eyes of liquid fire
Golden staff within his hand
And he rides above the mountains
With the secret that he holds
The time has come, the people must be told

So shall it be written
So shall it be done
Came the warning from the prophet
And it came to pass before the rising sun

He looked upon the thousands
That had come to hear him speak
He warned them of the darkness
Of their evil and their greed
But somehow they ignored him
Though their faces filled with fear
So he turned away and shed a single tear

So shall it be written
So shall it be done
Came the warning from the prophet
And it came to pass before the rising sun
So shall it be written
So shall it be done
Came the warning from the prophet
And it came to pass before the rising sun

I never know the reasons why
When all is said and done
Give me the answers and show me the way
But you know I'm not the one

When I look into your eyes
You say you're holding on
But when I turn around I find your love is gone
Gone away
Take your love away
Take your love away

Summer breeze and the autumn winds
You know they bring the rainy days
I never know the reason why
You take your love away

When I look into your eyes
You say you're holding on
But when I turn around
I find your love is gone
Gone away
Take your love away
Take your love away

Now we dream of all the changes
and the changes dreams can bring
But all you want in your fantasy
Is a little wedding ring
When I look into your eyes
You say you're holding on
But when I turn around
I find your love is gone
Gone away
Take your love away
Take your love away

When I look into your eyes
You say you're holding on
But when I turn around
I find your love is gone
Gone away
Take your love away
Take your love away

[Instrumental]

Morning brings the sunrise
To the mountain of the Dane
In the over lying distance
The dealer deals the pain
In the land of forgotten lifetimes
An angel guards the time
Memories won't fail me
And vengeance will be mine

I move slowly through the darkness
Lookin' for the light

In a vision I was taken
By the wizard's deadly game
Reaching for the boundries
Held here by the chains
Vanguard of the darkness
Black Riders in the night
Shadows now surround me
A victim of their flight

I move slowly through the darkness
Looking for the light

As the moonlight over takes me
I walk on through the night
Vengeance still evades me
As the Dark Lord holds the Nine
Time now passing quickly
Dark victory is near
A hero's badly needed
With courage free of fear

He moves slowly through the darkness
Looking for the light

They gave you the rule
By which you must play
They watch over you
Both night and day
Your life is controlled
Your freedom's a joke
They can tighten the harness
They can put on the yoke
But you had your time
Oh they gave you your say
They didn't buy your story
So they threw you away
The judge and the jury
Oh, now they wished you well
Then gave you your sentence
To ten years in hell

So madman run from the screams in the darkness
Madman run from the fear in the night
Madman run from the power of the lawman
Take another look at you life
Oh you're just a madman

Deep in your prison
all alone in your cell
Your mind is distracted
Oh, you're not doing well
And those damn fool people
Who wouldn't leave you alone
Till they'd stolen your life away
Left you all alone

Oh, your just a madman
Hey, just a madman
Oh just a mad man
Oh just a madman

Oh just a madman

Do you feel waves come crashing in
As they reach out to the shore
Does it call to you in the dead of night
Or is it even something more
Do you see yourself in a lonely place
As your running out of time
Don't know where to go
Don't know what to do
Wondering if your losing your mind

I feel a Hard fight has begun
No more living on the run
I feel a Hard fight has begun
I know it's been done
Yes a Hard fight has begun

Do you think about all those yesterdays
All the good and bad gone by
Has the time been spent
Will it ever change
Do you ever wonder why
Can you see the truth through the foggy haze
And can you tell it from the lies
Do you think your right
When you know your wrong
Can you see it in my eyes

I feel a Hard fight has begun
No more living on the run
I feel a Hard fight has begun
I know it's been done
Yes, a Hard fight has begun

[Instrumental]

Something is calling me
I hear it calling me
Leading me far away
A journey of many days
On a stormy sea
Through eternity
To the magic land
Mystery mystery man
Show me your crystal ball
Make sure I can see it all
I'm so easily confused
So won't you hold it near
So I can see it clear
Turn to the judgement day
And the words on the final page

You never know where they will lead you
You never know when they may call
He said don't let no fool supercede you
Cause fools they don't know nothin' at all

He said run--run when I tell you
Don't you place your bet on that losing wheel
I placed that bet before you
Oh I know just how you feel

He told me to come closer
Gaze into his crystal ball
I saw the world through different colors
The mystery man revealed it all

He said run--run when I tell you
Don't you place your bet on that losing wheel
I placed that bet before you
Oh I know just how you feel

His vision made me wonder
In darkness he brought me light
He spoke of fortunes squandered
Of lovely sirens in the night

He said run--run when I tell you
Don't you place your bet on that losing wheel
I placed that bet before you
Oh I know just how you feel

I left him as I found him
An ageless victim of his time
With a knowledge of what surrounds him
And this warning in his rhyme

He said run--run when I tell you
Don't you place your bet on that losing wheel
I placed that bet before you
Oh I know just how you feel
He said run--run when I tell you
Don't you place your bet on that losing wheel
I placed that bet before you
Oh I know just how you feel

He walked a road that grew so long
And as he walked he sang a song
A song that made him stop and quietly wonder
He thinks of times long since gone by
Of all the things that made him cry
Of all the things that made him long to wander

The day grew dim and quickly failed
Reflecting shades of yellow pale
A time that made him stop and quietly wonder
Valleys stained with wars gone still
The rich man lives upon his hill
Troubled times that made him long to wander

We will take the everlasting glory
Have our children tell our story
As we weave our thoughts upon the sky

Night awaits for daybreak
The day seems so long
You've learned the ways of heartache
And how to be strong
The world as you knew it
Came cascading down
No hope left inside you
You're pushed to the ground
All that stood round you
Lies down at your feet
The feeling inside you runs cold and deep

Endless skies won't you wash away forever
All the pain that lies together in us all
Endless skies always there but never watching
Just reflections off the water to my eyes

Endless skies when will you let me down easy
Never knowing what is right and what's wrong
Never realized the answers you've given
Have been waiting for us all along
