01. No Time To Live Forever

Never, no never
No time to live forever
Searching wherever
Our souls will never go
Heaven, no heaven
Your prayers all forsaken
Fires abused to burn our whole world down

Rising from ashes
Of dark age's pyres
Tasting forbidden and long-lasting light
Shining so bright on the wonders enlightenment brings
But there are shadows waking

Never, no never
No time to live forever
Searching wherever
Our souls will never go
Heaven, no heaven
Your prayers all forsaken
Fires abused to burn our whole world down

Stories are calling believers to arms now
Tribal hypnosis
In blindness we trust
Grace is not given
If you belong to the wrong tribe
Another head is falling
Falling to the ground

Once upon a time there was light in us

Praise the Lords of true disguise
May your kingdom fall
Foul your bread, and false your love
To evil you compel
Us all to burn in hell

Never, no never
No time to live forever
Searching wherever
Our souls will never go
Heaven, no heaven
Your prayers all forsaken
Fires abused to burn our whole world down

Until the fire comes
Until it wakes again
Taking away all the wonders we found
Until the fire comes
Until it burns the whole world
Burns the whole world to the ground

02. Universal

(I will fight if I live another day)

I gave it all, in silence
Until I could not anymore
I see the hours passing by every day

But I'll never gonna hide forever
You should know there will be the day for us
When we raise our thousand voices
Screaming out loud

No more possessing our bodies and minds
No more oppression by your holy lies
Enough is enough
Now we claim it back
Our Universal right

I will fight our fight
Til the end of our time
I will fight if I live another day

I can hear all their cries
In this everlasting night
Now we claim it back
Now we take it back
We will never let it go
We will fight our fight

In our name remember
A fragile world is what we built
We cannot let them take it all away

How I wish I could be standing with you
When we let the world see our face
I am one of thousand voices
Let's scream it out loud

I will be holding your hands in the end
Our eyes will be closed but we will never bend
Enough is enough
Now we claim it back
Our Universal right

I will fight our fight
Til the end of our time
I will fight if I live another day

I can hear all their cries
In this everlasting night
Now we claim it back
Now we take it back
We will never let it go
We will fight
We will fight

See me now
Ripping it off from me
I am no slave no more
Nobody owns my life

Once we will just be a memory
All that is left is the pain you feel
But all this blood has not been shed in vain
Not been shed in vain

I will fight our fight
Til the end of our time
I will fight if I live another day

I can hear all their cries
In this everlasting night
Now we claim it back
Now we take it back
We will never let it go

See my veil
I let it fall
See who I really am
I let it fall

03. 200 Years

Once, through the stones her journey began
Falling through times ancient veil
When Highlands were covered with blood, and she ran
Right into one of their tales

He was an outcast, survivor of pain
But he had a heart of gold
Together they face countless trials and strain
Their story is now to unfold

Free the Highlands shall be
A war we will see
She knew from her time's history
Death would come to them all
Unless they could call
Their clans to halt

Lost in the echoes
Of two hundred years
Two hearts together
In love and in tears
Will all these moments be lost and in vain
Or will they be ever again?
Or will they be ever again?

Down in the streets of a city of old
Trying the course of fate
Their bond was too strong to ever lose hope
But destiny would not wait

Free the highlands can't be
A war we are seeing
Cause no one can change history
Death has come to them all
And now she must call
Through stones to fall

Lost in the echoes
Of two hundred years
Two hearts together
In love and in tears
Will all these moments be lost and in vain
Or will they be ever again?

Caught in the never
Of two hundred years
Two souls together
In joy and in fear
Will all these moments be lost and in vain
Oh will they be ever again?
Oh will they be ever again?

Hearing the echoes for twenty long years
A sign of the past came whispering here

Lost in the echoes
Of two hundred years
Two hearts together
In love and in tears
Will all these moments be lost and in vain
Or will they be ever again?

Caught in the never
Of two hundred years
Two souls together
In joy and in fear
Will all these moments be lost and in vain
Oh will they be ever again?
Oh will they be ever again?

(Two hundred years
Two hundred years
Two hundred years
Two hundred years)

04. Live The Tale

It's been a long time since our glory days
And when the water's rising high up to the sky
Nowhere to run this is the final countdown for us
Now revolution is the only way for us

Whirling, blazing like a torch inside a storm
Find it, find it, all is gone

Deep in the shadows of the world
Of history and life unfurled
We want to see horizon's end
Reach for the shores of Neverland
Come with me, live the tale
Come with me now, to Neverworld
Come with me, live the tale
Come with me now, to Neverworld

It's on the verge, we better stand our ground or fall
It's all or nothing, so we roll the dice once more
Play evolution, for the strongest will win the game
But our idea of "strong" is clearly not the same

Whirling, blazing like a torch inside a storm
Fight it, fight before it's gone

Deep in the shadows of the world
Of history and life unfurled
We want to see horizon's end
Reach for the shores of Neverland
Come with me, live the tale
Come with me now, to Neverworld
Come with me, live the tale
Come with me now, to Neverworld

Live the tale
Live the tale

Come, come with me
Come, come with me
Come, come with me
Come, come with me

Whirling, blazing like a torch inside a storm
Fight it, fight before it's gone

Deep in the shadows of the world
Of history and life unfurled
We want to see horizon's end
Reach for the shores of Neverland

Deep in the shadows of the world
Of history and life unfurled
We want to see horizon's end
Reach for the shores of Neverland
Come with me, live the tale
Come with me now, to Neverworld
Come with me, live the tale
Come with me now, to Neverworld

Live the tale

Come with me and live the tale

05. The Wonders Still Waiting

I will cross the mountains and seas
We will always be one
This was the last time I looked back on my life
Before it fell apart

Fly far away
Goodbye, until your last day
See the stars
Hear the melodies play
The notes that show us the way

You will guide my way back from here
Where I lost my old dream
Come, you whisper silently into my ears
To Neverworld again

Fly far away
Goodbye, until your last day
See the stars
Hear the melodies play
The notes that show us the way

Once we were traveling places
Now we'll discover some new lands

Fly far away
Goodbye, until your last day
See the stars
Hear the melodies play
The notes that show us the forgotten way

The notes that show us the way
