[Instrumental]

02. Paradox

I'm a genie
From the bottle
A voice upon the raw north wind
I know you
If you hear is good
I'll also know if you have sinned
You can lead me
To a warhorse
See me riding on it's back
All be with you
As you reatreat
I will lead the main attack
Paradox?
No just a lie!
Paradox?
I wonder why
You will feel no joy
You will feel no pain
You'll never see the sun
You'll only feel the rain
I run with the wolves at midnight
I can stop the sun at dawn
I'm a king
A queen, a bishop
You are just my lowly pawn
I sing with the elves of Mirkwood
And I've watched the dragons die
I'm the king beneath the mountain
I'm an eagle in the sky
Paradox?
No just a lie!
Paradox?
I wonder why
You will never feel the power
You will only feel pain
You will never see the sun
Are you insane
Is it only common senses
Ooh it the truth
Tell me, is it all a lie
Do you need to have the proof
Yeah!
Tell!
You will feel no joy
You will feel no pain
You'll never see the sun
You'll only feel the rain
Gangdalf rides
Fair shadowfax
Arathorn strides far and wide
Boromir stands by
The mighty oak tree
A hundred arrows pierce his side
I have formed the highest mountains
I have hurled a storm of rock
The world equates as paradise
To you it's just a paradox
Paradox?
No just a lie!
Paradox?
I wonder why
You will never feel the power
You will only feel pain
You will never see the sun
Are you insane
Insane!

03. Death, Screaming And Pain

A story...
A cold night somewhere
Such a cold night
Hands held in fear
But it's going to be alright
It was a seance
But no one really knew
What they were doing
Or how they were no perform
No one knew why they were here
Tired, played out and scared
Fear numbing the brain
Windows drumming with rain
Shapes forget out of flame
Death, screaming and pain
Don't call on me
I'm not yours to see
You'll feel my power
And you won't be too pleased
I'm called by many names
None of them portray
The hate that's burning in my mind
The havoc I can play
I am the true Lord of Hell
Satan's my name, I'm king
Fears stab into their brains
Windows drumming insane
A candle is guttering flame
Death, screaming and pain
Hell!
Death!
Oh! The candles go dim
A great sound cracks the wall
A voice in hears saying
I'm coming for you all
Come down with me now
I'll give you your desire
But if you do not heed my words
I'll smother you with fire
Nobody followed the sound
They just stayed there and burned
A house that's empty again
Windows still drumming with rain
There's no one to see any flame
There's only death, screaming and pain

04. Product Of Imagination

In concepts of space
We were an illusion
A second in the cosmos
A minute in real time
We spent our time in search of life
It was so hard
He started off too late
We were a dream
Product of imagination
By a god unseen
He knew that we would be destroyed
He felt so old, yeah
He knew this was his final chance
After years of trying to get it right
A dreaded foe would try to spoil
Homo sapiens on sight
He guided our direction wisely
Helping only when it was needed
Laying traps for all our enemies
No voice unheaded
Had to keep that satanistic man away
Everything he tried
Came to no avail
There was just destruction
At another's hand
He tried in vain
To stay the hand
Of his fallen brother
So he tried in vain
Had to keep the satanistic hand at bay, yeah
Can't let them fall
Can this be all
Everything I've tried
Can't let it ride
They should have a place in time
They should not end
Tried to help us through our life
Helping when we fall
Say those words of satan's wrath
Try to keep us whole
Aid us in the flight against strife
Comfort when we call
Cast aside the sins we make
Revel in our joy
Have to win this battle, satanists beware
Oh. we have the belief
Violence and power
Have a life to live
In an ivory tower
Had we had more time
We could have been more real
We didn't stand a chance
Because of powers unseen
Life was over before it had begun
God was wrong
They will fight through all of time
Cursing as they meet
Sending lightning across the sky
A panoply of heat
A battlefield through time and space
A fight of avid fury
Thunder heralds each new move
Only angels as their jury
The fight will last a millions years or more
We won't be here to tell
Or even keep the score
We can only hope
That we'll be here for more!
That's life!

06. Mystery

Trouble!
I saw in hanging in the night air
Exactly as it shouldn't
I prayed for it to go its own way
Allthrough I knew it wouldn't
Who can I tell
Who would believe me
There's no one else around
Something's changing
It's moving off now
It's not making a sound
Someone tell me I didn't see it
It was only a dream
Oh God! It's moving towards me
I think I shall scream
Where am I now
What am I doing here
What is this thing in the sky
Why does it want me
What have I done here
Why does it come for me now
Who could tell things would turn out this way...tonite!
I know why it's here, it's coming to take me away...tonite!
But why
Mystery
Mystery
Mystery

07. Kill That Beast

Massing on the borders
All over this small world
The big red bear is coming
The big red flag unfurls
Spreading mindless terror
Through puppets the world wide
No one really knows for shure
Who is one whose side
Kill...that beast!
Kill...that beast!
The bear is in San Salvador
He's out in Cuba too
He's marching on North Africa
Is there nothing we can do
See the eagle in his nest
Not knowing who its master is
Or is it all the man in power
Or is it a disaster
Kill...that beast!
Stop...the spread!
Kill...that beast!
Rushing through the danger zone
Why can't you see
There's something going wrong
We have to move now
We can't sit back
Just like we have been
Doing far too long
We have the power
Should we use it
No mistakes now
Don't abuse it
Kill that beast!
We saw it in Afghanistan
We can't allow that to happen again
If it doesn't stop now it never will
We all just drown
In the nuclear rain
Nuclear rain
We have the power
Should we use it
No mistakes now
Don't abuse it
Kill that beast!
Kill that beast!

08. Pray To The Godz Of Wrath

The warriors of Asgard fly
Their seeds across the sky
Lightning snaps from shield and sword
The god that never die
Helmets shining
Spears aligning
As they ride
Hallowed knights on golden chargers
Screaming as they say
Pray...to the godz of wrath
Speedin in the silver morning
Sunshine lights their day
Eyes a sparkle, spirits soaring
Nothing bars their way
Helmets shining
Spears aligning
As they ride
Golden gods on golden chargers
Screaming as they say
Pray...to the godz of wrath
Great swords swung against their foes
Cries of battle end the air
Thunder rolls across the sky
Of the gods of wrath beware
Helmets shining
Spears aligning
As they ride
Savage lords on golden chargers
Screaming as they say
Pray...to the godz of wrath

09. Beyond Space

Out of time
Out of spacial, space
Out of time
We're a new race
We had to come
Across the nebula
We had to come through
A black star, we're right
We had to fall
Through a time warp
We had to fall
We had to fly
Through a star burst
We had to fly
We were in flight
We could not delay
We were in flight
Each and every day
Oh oh...
Not to worry
There's a new world there
Time to hurry
We may not have to care
If it isn't we will take it anyway
Beyond space, fight
Look!
We haven't come
This far to be scared
We haven't come
This far to be there
We had to fall
Through a time warp
We had to fall
We had to fly
Through a star burst
We had to fly
We were in flight
We could not delay
We were in flight
Each and every day
Oh oh...
We don't worry
We don't even care
Don't have to hurry
It will still be there
If it isn't we'll find in anywhere
Beyond space - we will fight
We had to fly
Through smoke and clouds
We had to fly
Through a storm of dust
We felt that we'd come through hell
We didn't like it
We didn't want to stay
This wasn't what we needed
It wasn't good or right
It wasn't what we wanted
It wasn't light or bright
Oh oh...
No to worry
We have time to spare
Not to hurry
We don't have a care
If it's not good
We'll go anywhere, anywhere
Beyond space - fight!
