01. Prelude

Instrumental

02. Soldier Of Time

Closing your eyes
To discover your mind
Raisin your weapons
Against the enemies you'll find

Crossing your sword
In glorious fights
Don't waste a word
As you fight with the knights

Graceful they stand
Honored they fall
Heroes of their land
Can't you their call

From the soldiers of time

Fightin a battle
With all of the greats
Wounded you fall
But it's never too late

Stand up and fight
And the victory be'll yours
Wrong won't be right
You could be opening the doors

Graceful you stand
You'll never fail
Hero of your land
You've got to survive

You've been a soldier of time
One in a million
Crossing the line
Your star will always shine
Throughout the centuries
To light up the sky

03. The Brave And The Strong

There's something evil in the sky
It's haunting me and I just can't hide
It's getting closer more and more
To start the war

Fight and believing
That's what I'm aiming for
So tells the story
There goes out my prayer

The brave and the strong
Will always be on my side
Nothing can tear me apart
When darkness surrounds you
I'll be your shining star
Even though battle rages on

The fear arises with the night
Nowhere to run there's nowhere to hide
The time has come to raise your sword
Against the evil unknown

Fight and believing
I'll have the victory
Last of the chapters
I'm the one who stays

The brave and the strong
Will always be on my side
Nothing can tear me apart
When darkness surrounds you
I'll be your shining star
Even though battle rages on

04. Heart Of Steel

Shadows so pale
In the heat of the night
Fading to grey
Cause they're scared by the light

Shootin their arrows
With the wings of pain
Restless unkind
But they keep on fighting in vain

Trying to be who you are
The harder you try the closer you'll get
When you fight with a heart of steel

Bloodstains in red
That cover your clothes
Telling the truth
About the souls that have passed

The things that you see
As you read between the lines
Won't let you be
'cause words won't turn the wheel of time

Trying to be who you are
The harder you try the closer you'll get
When you fight with a heart of steel
Fighting a war you can't win
The only things that stay are you're sins
But you fight with a heart of steel

05. S.O.S.

Where are those happy times - they seem so hard to find.
I try to reach for you but you have closed your mind.
Whatever happened to our love ?
I wish I understood.
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good.

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me, SOS
The love you gave me, nothing less can save me, SOS
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on ?
When you're gone, though I try how can I carry on ?

You seem so far away though you are standing near.
You make me feel alive but something died, I fear.
I really tried to make it up - I wish I understood.
What happened to our love, it used to be so good.

06. King Of Your Dreams

Somewhere between
The day and the night
You're hidin your aim's
Waitin to fight

Face of an angel
Old to be wise
But you are hiding
The devil in disguise

But where does it end
And where do you want to go
The borders you'll bend
I guess you will never know

Open your eyes
Try to be wise
And you'll be the king of your dreams
Trying to see
What you want to be
Then you'll be the king of your dreams

Violence and hate
Is the harvest you' ll get
Pay close attention
They might take your head

Don't play with fire
You won't stand the pain
They call you a liar
They call you a shame

But where does it end
And where do you want to go
The borders you'll bend
I guess you will never know

Open your eyes
Try to be wise
And you'll be the king of your dreams
Trying to see
What you want to be
Then you'll be the king of your dreams

07. Princess Of The Night

I've been waitin for such a long time
I didn't care there was nothin left to lose
I couldn't find the sense of my life
Until the day when you appeared

And from the moment you've entered my world
You made me turn around
And you stole my heart away
But now you've gone
My life's just dark and grey
So here is what I say

When the sun comes down
I'll be by your side
And when the evening's there
You'll be my princess of the night

Time moves on and I can't make it stand
You never cared for me and you've just let it end
What have you done you've thrown it all away
And now my heart is empty, nothin' left to say

From the day that you've captured my heart
You filled me up with love
Made my dreams come true
So now you've gone
There's no eternity
So here is what I say

When the sun comes down
I'll be by your side
And when the evening's there
You'll be my princess of the night

Let me take your hand
And lead you to the promise land
I'll be next to you
Cause you're my princess of the night

08. Goodbye

I've travelled much more than a billion miles
My only aim was to conquer the world
In countless fights i had to pay my dues
That was the war of my life

The years of fear and anger
Have caused scarfs in my soul
But I can't wait no longer
Tryin to break the wall

I'm gonna try
I'll never denie
Just listen to me
Cause it's the last good bye

I'll tell you why
Your life is a lie
Here's what I say
Just a last good bye

There must be million faces I have seen
I just passed by and didn't spend a word
There's so much pain which couldn't touch my heart
But afterall I realized where I was wrong

The years of fear and anger
Kept me locked inside my room
The time has come and I feel stronger
To tear away the doom

I'm gonna try
I'll never denie
Just listen to me
Cause it's the last good bye

I'll tell you why
Your life is a lie
Here's what I say
Just a last good bye

09. Why do You Cry?

Maybe I was wrong
I said too many things that I should have left unspoken
But where do you belong
There are so many reasons to hold on what we?ve got

So why should I pay the price
And why should I roll the dice
Deep inside I feel the shame
You name the pain and thats the shame

So why do you cry
I gave you my heart but you denied
So please tell me why
You're throwing our love away tonight
So why do you cry

Now you're standing in the cold
And the tears you cry will turn the ice into stone
Enlight the candle cries the flame in my hand
Just to make you see the things that you have done

So why should I pay the price
And why should I roll the dice
Deep inside I feel the pain
But you're the only one to blame

So why do you cry
I gave you my heart but you denied
So please tell me why
You're throwing our love away tonight
So why do you cry

10. Don't You Believe A Stranger

It doesn't matter if it's day or night
Cause when the evil comes it won't need no light
It might not be what you expect to see

No difference if it's rain or shine
If you don't run your life ain't worth a dime
You've got to find a way to disappear

Good and bad so close together
If they catch you it's now or never
Better listen closely now
Here's my advise

Don't you believe a stranger
He might just take your life
He's gonna be much stronger
You'd better run and hide

Don't you believe a stranger
Cause you're not supposed to do
You can't relate to danger
Try to escape

If you keep standing in the danger zone
They' ll gonna catch ya 'til you're chilled to the bone
There is is hardly nothing they have to fear

You better try to keep the distance
Otherwise they might break your resistance
You could be the next one in the line

Good and bad so close together
If they catch you it's now or never
Better listen closely now
Here's my advise

Don't you believe a stranger

11. Chopin - Etude No. 4

Instrumental

12. Logical Song

When I was young, it seemed that life
Was so wonderful,a miracle,
Oh it was beautiful, magical.

And all the birds in the trees,
Well they'd be singing so happily,
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me.

But then they sent me away,
To teach me how to be sensible,
Logical oh, responsible practical.

And they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable,
Oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
The questions run too deep for such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd. Please tell me who I am

I said, now watch what you say or
They'll be calling you a radical,
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.

Oh, won't you sign up your name,
We'd like to feel you're acceptable,
Respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable!

At night, when all the world's asleep...

Please tell me who I am
who I am
who I am
who I am
