Small and idle, we roll
Round silent Mars we are, a wheel is our sanctuary Orbiting slowly, away from our home Not a starship anymore, we're left all alone Save our world - about to die Hear our call Creeping fear, we're lost in these cold depths Of careless space, the colony's wasted Plague is ravaging the wheel, and medicines ran out Scorched the soil dry, no more food or water Save our world - condemned to die Hear our call Shelter to the runaway from the Earth But you closed your eyes, forgetting us all Without resources sustaining our lives We had no chance to survive... and Argos died. The wheel is floating in the barren sky Through the endless dark Dumb mirrors catching useless sun rays Just a bunch of renegades Who flew from their homeland A place where computers decide for your life Why should you care for us? You've already killed once When your heart forgot us and left us alone Save our world - we're damned for life Hear our call Shelter to the runaway from the Earth But you closed your eyes, forgetting us all Without resources sustaining our lives We had no chance to survive... Shelter to the runaway from the Earth But you closed your eyes, forgetting us all Without resources sustaining our lives We had no chance to survive... and Argos died 02. King Of Terror
Misty and moonless
Here comes the night A silent shadow crawls out of your sight One man, a thousand faces One thief so used to chases His name sounds like sorrow - King of terror His past, a gloomy secret Don't try to reveal it His life, a lonely challenge, never-ending Never surrenders Never a loser His steely eyes will freeze you deep inside You've got a while just to cry high He's the king of terror Be afraid, because evil is closer than you think Behind a face that you love and believe He's just a creeping shudder No friends or any brother His knife... what a loyal fellow! - King of terror A lot of traps and pitfalls A girl who shares his dark soul That's all he really need to stop the law Just the beginning No happy ending His steely eyes will freeze you deep inside You've got a while just to cry high He's the king of terror Be afraid, because evil is closer than you think Behind a face that you love and believe Never surrenders Never a loser His steely eyes will freeze you His wicked mind will rule His strength will cancel your will-power You've got a while just to cry high He's the king of terror Be afraid, because the evil is closer than you think Behind a face that you love and believe Be afraid, because evil is born inside your mind Inside your heart that's now ready to kill! 03. Off The Beaten Path
There's a time in life when you get sick
Of people telling that and this What to do, what to do not It makes you want to cry... Leave me alone Your words have no worth I can err by myself That time I swore that I'd be Walking off the beaten path To learn from what I hear and see And free my mind from all the... Lies they teach And worship as the truth Their Grail for the fools Long though is the road That long I shall go Off The Beaten Path Off The Beaten Path I might fall and rise again To find me wiser than I was 'Cause the rock I've stumbled on Is now a chapter in the... Story unfolding Of my journey through life Till the end of my time With every day that's passing on My fear grows of a day to come When in the mirror I'll look and see Someone, someone that's not me He glances back as to ask me why The flame has faded in those eyes The answer I won't know at last So I swear he will never have to ask That time I swore that I'd be Walking off the beaten path 'Cause everything I hear and see Is a new chapter in the... Story unfolding Of my journey through life Till the end of my time Till the end of my time Long though is the road That long I shall go Off The Beaten Path Off The Beaten Path Off The Beaten Path 04. Jail TV
Come see the secrets of the death row
The depravity of those inmates High resolution prison cameras They make you like a fly-upon-the-wall of hell They gave you pain, we make 'em pay And let you witness with your eyes Who cares it doesn't fit the crime? We think the punishment's alright! Now on the screen We are Jail TV We let the ghouls of hate and vengeance fill your mind When you want justice pay-per-view Warden Whiplash and her crew Will make the guilty get the hardest of their time Hear the confession of the dirt-bags The unspeakable details of their disgusting crimes They beg for mercy 'cause they know that The RatRoaster won't be waiting anymore They gave you pain, we make 'em pay And let you witness with your eyes Who cares it doesn't fit the crime? We think the punishment's alright! Now on the screen We are Jail TV We let the ghouls of hate and vengeance fill your mind When you want justice pay-per-view Warden Whiplash and her crew Will make the guilty get the hardest of their time Now on the screen We are Jail TV We let the ghouls of hate and vengeance fill your mind The show's unusual and cruel We hold a mirror up to you And let you glimpse how twisted sick you really are 05. Warriors (When The Battle Calls)
They've come from outer planets, celestial breed of gods
Masters of evolution, harsh judges of all that is They raised demons from every hell, and spread them over our world No question can be asked, this trial's stake is our right to be Hail to this mortal army, I will lead you to your fate Last orders have been given, now issue's in your hands Victory I can't promise you, but blood and pain With your valour you must gain salvation for us all Warriors - Warriors - When the battle calls Warriors - Warriors - To the final war Warriors - Warriors - Let me hear your cry Warriors - Warriors - Hold your heads up high Thousands lie dead on the ground, withdrawal makes no sense Mindless monsters still advancing, no quarter they will give Only desperation can push us to fight on Extinction will await us, if this hopeless war is lost Warriors - Warriors - When the battle calls Warriors - Warriors - To the final war Warriors - Warriors - Let me hear your cry Warriors - Warriors - Hold your heads up high All of a sudden the gods fill the sky Beams from their eyes freeze this moment in time We can't but shiver at this terrible sight The verdict is now to be known A powerful voice now resounds in our minds With disbelief we open our eyes The stake has been won - Tomorrow will come Ohhh - They disappear Ohhh - But still the fear Is creeping inside us Ohhh - Can this be real? Ohhh - No one breaks the still How long will it be before they come again? Ohhh - Victory Ohhh - Or slavery? Are we their pawns in an eternal game? To their holy pleasure are we sacrificed? Warriors - Warriors - When the battle calls Warriors - Warriors - To the final war Warriors - Warriors - Let me hear your cry Warriors - Warriors - Hold your heads up high Warriors - Warriors - When the battle calls Warriors - Warriors - To the final war Warriors - Warriors - Let me hear your cry Warriors - Warriors - Hold your heads up high 06. Pit Of Charming Snakes
See the sparks before your eyes
About to give you fire Does it matter of the danger anyway? Mesmerized, cross the line And breathe the air of thunder Will you run away? Or Sin will make you stay? I've lived beneath a hundred pillows I give 'em up today Now - I'll grab the choices never taken No matter what they say... Throwing myself - To this pit of charming snakes I feel their cold embrace Like a cradle - Lullaby within their gaze The pit of the charming snakes Glassy stare - Are you strong Enough to bear temptation? One more step and you'll be floating in the air Magnetism, lust and fear Are blending all their power As you get astray, the serpents hiss your way Decisions pending on my shoulders A burden of dismay Oh - A load I'll bring along forever The toll is mine to pay... Throwing myself - To this pit of charming snakes I feel their cold embrace Like a cradle - Lullaby within their gaze The pit of the charming snakes Shivers crawling down my spine As I see my future, dissolute and full of lies What I leave behind me - Never to get back But what I face is stronger See the sparks - And now you're taking fire Do you care - Anyway? Questions pounding in your head Now the brink's behind you, there's no more turning back I own the fault of my behaviour It's just myself to blame No - No words to my defence are coming So proud of my mistakes Throwing myself - To this pit of charming snakes I feel their cold embrace Like a cradle - Lullaby within their gaze The pit of the charming snakes 07. Where Skye Meets The Sea
Cross the straits foaming waters
To a land where the sands of time stand still Where the Little People still dwell Under the Fairy Glen hills Should you lose your way in the thin mist You may lose your mind as well And never be seen again Fade away like an old memory For magic lives on this land There's magic where Skye meets the sea For magic lives on this land There's magic where Skye meets the sea Walk the paths through the Cuillins Hear the wind carrying legends and tales from the past When a princess of Fairyland Loved the chief of the Clan She appealed to the king of her people A sad price she would have to pay After a year and a day She had to leave the human world But her gift to their son Would forever protect her beloved For magic lives on this land There's magic where Skye meets the sea And when a threat hangs on this land The Fairy Flag will wave again For the third time to guard the Clan Then will return to Fairyland 08. Doom Of The Darksword
Run away - Guilty hands still wet of warlock's blood
Vanya won't find you - The dark stone hides you Head to Marilon - Where at last you'll claim your right of birth Your royal lineage - The best kept secret Your Doom is carrying the sword Doom of the Darksword You can't die - You can't stay alive By the prophecy the Almin told In your hand stands the ruin of the world As the Druid speaks - You discover your life's been a lie A child was stolen - His descent unknown Betrayal burns - As you're being convicted for your crimes But truth's still hidden - The Prince's now to unveil it Your Doom's sealed by old words Doom of the Darksword You can't die - You can't stay alive By the prophecy the Almin told In your hand stands the ruin of the world Crystal tears the Empress cried On her lifeless child Vanya would hide him in the Font He'd let him there, forgot, to live But he couldn't thwart the prophecy Anya, furious, foiled his plot "Take the sword I will bear Mutation Go Beyond - Fulfil your Doom" Doom of the Darksword You can't die - You can't stay alive By the prophecy the Almin told You will return From the Mists of the Beyond Doom of the Darksword It's the terror of the few who know For you'll bring in your hand the ruin of the world 09. The Ancient Prophecy
"There will be born to the Royal House one who is dead yet will live, who will die again and live again. And when he returns, he will hold in his hand the destruction of the world." (M. Weis / T. Hickman)
10. Overdoze
I'm watching figures in an ordinary world
A pale remembrance of the human loftiness Happy to follow their own program 'til the end Crying out I wake up - Has it been a nightmare? Or life? How can I tell the dreams around me from the truth Illusions from reality Who should I trust now? Don't leave your ego buried by the dust of wear Don't stand up looking dully while the others make Your time's already spent and you don't even perceive it We live to leave a sign, not just to survive Your train is running - Single stop: the terminus The trip will never be the same Then choose your rail road You're just overdozing Speeding up to crumble Be the owner of your way Wake and you will fly That's a spell of your mind Build your life, don't let it flow away How can I tell the dreams around me from the truth Illusions or reality Your train is running - Single stop: the terminus The trip will never be the same Then choose your railroad You're just overdozing Speeding up to crumble Be the owner of your way Wake and you will fly That's a spell of your mind Build your life, don't let it flow You're just overdozing Speeding up to crumble Be the owner of your way Wake and you will fly That's a spell of your mind Build your life, don't let it flow away 11. Gates Of Mercy
Black is the heart of the soldier at war
Ready to free without consideration his bloody hand Tell us, how do you resolve? That was our best mercy you'd give yourselves to You chose to fight, then proud of destruction defy us to our worst And be known that there won't be reins holding our wicked lust Forcing violations, arrayed in flames like the prince of fiends Storming his evil career For the gates of mercy are bolted and sealed And they'll remain all shut up We won't stop until in your ashes you lie - buried A name that becomes me best in my thoughts is Soldier, ranging my fury with conscience wide as hell Mowing like grass your untouched virgins and flowering infants What's it to me when it's just you the cause of this waste And this desolation For the gates of mercy are bolted and sealed And they'll remain all shut up We won't stop until in your ashes you lie Buried and damned for all time For the gates of mercy are bolted and sealed And they'll remain all shut up We won't stop until in your ashes you lie - buried For the gates of mercy are bolted and sealed And they'll remain all shut up We won't stop until in your ashes you lie Buried and damned for all time For the gates of mercy are bolted and sealed And they'll remain all shut up We won't stop until in your ashes you lie Buried and damned for all time ...until in your ashes you lie ...buried and damned for all time |
