02. And The Story Ends 03. Imaginations From The Other Side 04. Beyond The Realms Of Death 01. Mirror, Mirror
Far, far beyond the island
We dwelt in shades of twilight Through dread and weary days Through grief and endless pain It lies unknown The land of mine A hidden gate To save us from the shadow fall The lord of water spoke In the silence Words of wisdom I've seen the end of all Be aware the storm gets closer Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That tomorrows bears insanity Gone's the wisdom Of a thousand years A world in fire and chains and fear Leads me to a place so far Deep down it lies my secret vision I better keep it safe Shall I leave my friends alone Hidden in my twilight hall know the world is lost in fire Sure there is no way to turn it Back to the old days Of bliss and cheerful laughter We're lost in barren lands Caught in the running flames Alone How shall we leave the lost road Time's getting short so follow me A leader's task so clearly To find a path out of the dark Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Even though The storm calmed down The bitter end Is just a matter of time Shall we dare the dragon Merciless he's poisoning our hearts Our hearts How shall we leave the lost road Time's getting short so follow me A leader's task so clearly To find a path out of the dark 02. And The Story Ends
And the story ends
Insanity said coldly Still waiting for the chance So out of nowhere it will rise Oh, and another journey starts By the call of the moon Was it really me I saw in the mirror screaming I swallowed hate and lies Through a thousand cries Someone's sucking out my energy What can I do on this road to nowhere Heart of dragon lies at the edge of time And the story ends Insanity said coldly Still waiting for the chance So out of nowhere it will rise Oh, and another journey starts Into insanity's claws Come with me and join me A new life's waiting for you Jump through the mirror Leave fear behind No matter where I tried The candle light seemed Lost forever Before my vision fades - cathedral - falling tears We're not alone There's someone else, too From the mirror's other side Reflecting the cruel part of your soul It's time for your choice What can I do on this road to nowhere Heart of dragon lies at the edge of time And the story ends Insanity said coldly Still waiting for the chance So out of nowhere it will rise Oh, and another journey starts By the call of the moon Heart of dragon lies What can I do on this road to nowhere Heart of dragon lies at the edge of time And the story ends Insanity said coldly Still waiting for the chance So out of nowhere it will rise Oh, and another journey starts Into insanity's claws I'm not a king I'm just a bard How can I trust If there's good or bad The wounds of life They will remain At least I found a friend. 03. Imaginations From The Other Side
Where are these silent faces
I took them all They all went away Now you're alone To turn out every light so deep in me Hold on Too late Will I ever see them back again Or did they all die by my hand Or were they killed by the old evil ghost Who had taken The ocean Of all my dreams Which were worth to keep Deep inside my heart I wish I Could get them back From the everflow Before they'll fade away Imaginations from the other side Far out of nowhere it got back to my mind Imaginations from the other side Far out of nowhere it got back to my mind Out of the dark Back to the light Then I'll break down The walls around my heart Imaginations from the other side Where's the ocean's daughter Was Peter Pan in Mordor Noone's there to keep alive All these fairy tales May I return to Oz Will I meet the "Tin Man" "Coward Lion" where are you Without brain the scarecrow's lost In the middle of the lake Stranded in the real world Left in a world No place for daydreams Serious life I fall into I fall into a dark hole And I can't come out Do you know if Merlin did exist Or Frodo wore the Ring Did Corum kill the gods Or where's the Wonderland Which young Alice had seen Or was it just a dream I knew the answers Now they're lost for me I hope there is a way back With my talisman So I look into myself To the days when I was just a child Come follow me to Wonderland And see the tale that never ends Don't fear the lion, nor the witch I can't come back I'm lost but still I know There is another world 04. Beyond The Realms Of Death
He had enough
He couldn't take anymore He'd found a place In his mind and slammed the door No matter how they tried They couldn't understand They washed and dressed him Fed him by hand Yeah! I've left the world behind I'm safe here in my mind Free to speak with my own kind This is my life, this is my life I'll decide not you Withdrawn he'd sit there Stare blank into space No sign of life Would flicker on his face Until one day he smiled It seemed as though with pride The wind kissed him Goodbye - and then he died Yeah! I've left the world behind I'm safe here in my mind Free to speak with my own kind This is my life, this is my life I'll decide not you Keep the world with all its sin It's not fit for livin' in Yeah! I will start again It can take forever, and ever, and ever And ever, but I'll still win. How many like him, Are there still But to us, all Seem to have lost the will They lie in thousands Plagued and lost Is nothing worth this bitter cost Yeah! I've left the world behind I'm safe here in my mind Free to speak with my own kind This is my life, this is my life I'll decide not you Keep the world with all its sin It's not fit for livin' in Beoynd the realms of death. |
