"I have often wondered if the majority of mankind ever pause to reflect upon the occasional titanic significance of dreams, and of the obscure world to which they belong".
- H.P.Lovercraft 02. The Chance Of Dying In A Dream
The hunter, the dark one is craving your mind
Malicious, your dreaming is seen as a sign Your breath is burning,in a throat full of scream No fear, you don't have to die in a dream Twisted, distorted. out of proportions The eyes and the mouths are placed in random disorder Acid smell, fear as its skin starts to gleam You've taken the chance of dying in a dream Scream - the chance of dying in a dream -Scream Scream, scream Subdue to the metamorphosis of flesh The pictures, to make you eternally mad Beyong your reality, nothing is clear You've waken the old ones and now they are here Nothing is ever what it seems Open the gates for me now The calling for powers, the falling of towers, Abstract to the weak fragile human mind Scream - the chance of dying in a dream -Scream Scream, scream 03. Dynasty Of Fear
You've betrayed the men by your side
People with hopes and with longing Hopes of an endless Utopia Now you see that a new plague is coming ...a new plague is coming now you see that a new plague is coming..... Take a look at your burning lands You convinced them that you've got the power The death and destruction that came from your hands Will grow 'till it reaches your own tower ...it reaches your own tower will grow 'till it reaches your own tower... A ruler is killing for pleasure In a land all to near We all look upon a cursed kingdom The dynasty of fear Fleeing your homes and your cities That once to you was so dear We all look upon a tragic kingdom The dynasty of fear The symphony of well-meant ideals Working in laws of regressive progression Enchanting the hearts and the souls of men Dictating their violent agression ...their violent agression dictating their violent agression... A ruler is killing for pleasure In a land all to near We all look upon a cursed kingdom The dynasty of fear Fleeing your homes and your cities That once to you was so dear We all look upon a tragic kingdom The dynasty of fear 04. Dragon's Mist
Standing at the crossroad watching men in armour fighting
The fog is lying thick, the ground is shrouded in the dark The battle for the throne increases as it's done forever A dragon in disquise will send a knight to make its mark Fly away on the dragon's mist And seek the heir of kings I'll crave your first-born son in trade Of one night of your dreams Oh, give him the power Please bless him with the strength To pull Excalibur out of the stone Still the battle roars in spite of finding of thr king In search for pease he puts his life into the mighty hands Of knights who once refused to crown him as their rightful heir At last they gather'round the table, summoning the lands Fly away on the dragon's mist And seek the heir of kings I'll crave your first-born son in trade Of one night of your dreams Oh, give him the power Please bless him with the strength To pull Excalibur out of the stone A dream to some A nightmare to others The peace will come And Mordred will be born a bastard son The wizard and his powers will predict the silent future He holds the key to all success and forces it to the door To understand the secrets of his whisperings and riddles They die, and so the legend will live on forever more Fly away on the dragon's mist And seek the heir of kings I'll crave your first-born son in trade Of one night of your dreams Oh, give him the power Please bless him with the strength To pull Excalibur out of the stone 05. Felice
"Abbaddon, the angel of the abys & king Aiken Lugonn,
the lord of misrule" The timegate remains closed... Silence approach the many coloured land The domination is broken Power is for the jester to grasp Believing the daemon is chokin' Chaos, rivalry, betrayal and despair The mad girl, the raven, enthroned as a ghost Gathering golden Torcs and the "spear" The holy weapon of the shattered host Fre humans are makin' bloodmetal weapons The deadly poison to the ancient foe As the angel of the abyss Plans with the jester the final show A metaconcert - To kill off the girl Conspiracy - To take over the world The lord of misrule - Burned by the blizz Created with fraught - By the angel of the abyss Rebellion, you Tanu brothers Bonded by blood The Battlemaster survived the flood ...And now you die! Hovering above the castle of glass A mindblasting fight for supremacy The Battlemaster revenging his loss The king is victorious - Triumphantly The only remains of the giant warrior - a blackened silver hand. All hail the king of the manycoloured land. 06. The Nightfall War
The timegate reopens...
Subsuming the minds of the traitors made me crazy Insomnia's their way of paying back My powers are lost, I'm calling the Grand Master Hidin'in her shelter at Black Crag The longlasting winter, the fall of Nodonn Adversary's coming, his breed on the run Predicted in old tales, envisioned before Indications of the Nigtfall War Searching the land for the metallurgist Only he can built the timemachine The children of Abbaddon I protect now Hidin' them within my mental screen The longlasting winter, the fall of Nodonn Adversary's coming, his breed on the run Predicted in old tales, envisioned before Indications of the Nigtfall War Floating in trance in the Quicksilver pool The lion, the dragon, the eagle - the healers Symbols of being reborn in the world of the living Will shine on forth in pain The conquesting races in false harmony Gathered on the ancient Field of Gold I saw through their treachery, saw through their lies Their minds are now ashes, their bodies are now cold The longlasting winter, the fall of Nodonn Adversary's coming, his breed on the run Predicted in old tales, envisioned before Indications of the Nigtfall War The War... "...and now,no one shall doubt my power. For I am the non-born king, and only I rule the many - coloured land". 07. The Puzzle
A hundred lightyears away, lies a hidden heart
Made up for a purpose, I can't tell A bridge so insane, it tears my soul apart Made up for a reason I can't tell I can't remember my own name I look around, am I insane? Eternity is lost, and I am turnin' upside down Forever in the puzzle of my life A path of crooked thorns leads my lonely way Disappears in a distance, I can't tell A shadow in the dark, makes me so afraid Whispering me a story, I can't tell I can't remember my own name I look around, am I insane? Eternity is lost, and I am turnin' upside down Forever in the puzzle of my life A path of crooked thorns leads my lonely way Disappears in a distance, I can't tell A shadow in the dark, makes me so afraid Whispering me a story, I can't tell I can't remember my own name I look around, am I insane? Eternity is lost, and I am turnin' upside down Forever in the puzzle of my Forever in the puzzle of my Forever in the puzzle of my life 08. Critical Mass
I see no sense in what's going on
U sense no meaning, I see no light for us all Cold chill in spine shows me no future There's no safety around us - no protection, no wall Blind ignorance throuth generations It's hidden black on white, I turn to stare There's a taste of blood in my mouth It's sick, when I breathe the air I see no light in the ways that I choose No matter how I twist and turn, I lose I see no light in the ways that I choose No matter how I twist and turn, I lose I can't escape the numb feeling of Perpetual deceiving dreams again Problems too dark to touch, we're reaching Critical mass - The end I see no light in the ways that I choose No matter how I twist and turn, I lose I see no light in the ways that I choose No matter how I twist and turn, I lose Silence in governments shows the taste of fear Our world is falling apart, it's in the atmosphere!! 09. Lost Souls
Sinners on their chance to strike. willing to let die
To reap the harvest of one's work, now it's time to crucify Crawling under lines of blama, in their hands they've got your fate Now we've lost the game of man, misjudged by laws we hate Shout, let me hear you preaching - listen to your pathetic Shout, let us hear your story, now that we haven't got a choice Shout, let me hear you preaching - listen to your pathetic Shout, let us hear your story, now that we haven't got a choice Lost Souls Holding on to an illusion based upon a tale The ladder's leading down to Hell, our souls are now for sale Weak and helpless on our knees we're looking at the sky Time will run, the blood will flow as life is passing by Shout, let me hear you preaching - listen to your pathetic Shout, let us hear your story, now that we haven't got a choice Shout, let me hear you preaching - listen to your pathetic Shout, let us hear your story, now that we haven't got a choice Lost Souls Truth won't be the same when one is born There's no reason in the world, but we are movin' on Cursed by the palm of God Bright - hope blinded eyes If everyone had a chose, religion would fade at dawn Lost Souls One day we will understand there are no winners in this race Caused by your religion thoughts, we'll vanish without a trace With one hand on the holy book, you're reaching for a gun Put your hands together, praise the lord for what he has done Shout, let me hear you preaching - listen to your pathetic Shout, let us hear your story, now that we haven't got a choice Shout, let me hear you preaching - listen to your pathetic Shout, let us hear your story, now that we haven't got a choice Truth won't be the same when one is born There's no reason in the world, but we are movin' on Cursed by the palm of God Bright - hope blinded eyes If everyone had a chose, religion would fade at dawn Lost Souls 10. The Twilight Shadow
Dawn of time, the first-born am I
I will be the last one to die Guardian of the Earth, protector of the sea To it all I hold the master key I can tell the faith of mortal men I can tell you how you die and when When I'm looking deep into your mind I can see you're ignorant and blind Dressed in all colours, called by all names I disguise as water, earth or flames I've shown you every dream, shown you every nightmare Even though you still don't seem to care I can tell the faith of mortal men I can tell you how you die and when When I'm looking deep into your mind I can see you're ignorant and blind I am the twilight shadow I'll enlighten your darkest sins When forever ends I'll stop the cause for living I've seen the way to paradise, I know the road to hell Where you're going I for sure can tell The end is closer, your maker you will meet Destruction of the Earth has been complete I can tell the faith of mortal men I can tell you how you die and when When I'm looking deep into your mind I can see you're ignorant and blind 11. Shadows With Tales To Tell
In my room burns a single flame
And night has come, so nothing looks the same Shadows on the floor,shadows on the wall So alive, you can almost hear them call I start to sleep, but my eyes still see I've taken the bait and now my mind has been set free As the room starts to turn and figures start to twist I'm drowning in blackness, in the sea of mist Stand very still, be very silent Shadows with tales to tell Stand very still, be very silent Singing of Heaven and Hell Lying, sleeping, dreaming neon white Angels and Demons coming out of the ligt Shadows on the floor, whispering in my ear Telin' me ancient truths of why we are here Stand very still, be very silent Shadows with tales to tell Stand very still, be very silent Singing of Heaven and Hell The shadows are dancing tonight By the power of one single light Visions show me places that can never be Terrible and beautiful, not for the eyes to see Out of the twilight, silence is born But I awake and now my dream is gone Stand very still, be very silent Darkness with tales to tell Stand very still, be very silent Singing of Heaven and Hell Stand very still, be very silent The shadows are dancing tonight Stand very still, be very silent By the power of the single light |
