Birds and butterflies
Rivers and mountains she creates But you'll never know The next move she'll make You can try But it is useless to ask why Cannot control her She goes her own way She rules until the end of time She gives and she takes She rules until the end of time She goes her own way With every breath And all the choices that we make We are only passing through on her way I find my strength Believing that your soul lives on Until the end of time I'll carry it with me She rules until the end of time She gives and she takes She rules until the end of time She goes her own way Once you will know my dear You don't have to fear A new beginning always starts at the end Until the end of time She goes her own way She rules until the end of time She gives and she takes She rules until the end of time She goes her own way 02. Ice Queen
When leaves have fallen
And skies turned into grey. The night keeps on closing in on the day A nightingale sings his song of farewell You better hide for her freezing hell On cold wings she's coming You better keep moving For warmth, you'll be longing Come on just feel it Don't you see it? You better believe it. When she embraces Your heart turns to stone She comes at night when you are all alone And when she whispers Your blood shall run cold You better hide before she finds you Whenever she is raging She takes all life away Haven't you seen? Haven't you seen? The ruins of our world She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak The sun awakes and melts it away The world now opens its eyes and sees The dawning of a new day On cold wings she's coming You better keep moving For warmth, you'll be longing Come on just feel it Don't you see it? You better believe it. Whenever she is raging She takes all life away Haven't you seen? Haven't you seen? The ruins of our world 03. Our Farewell
In my hands
A legacy of memories I can hear you say my name I can almost see your smile Feel the warmth of your embrace But there is nothing but silence now Around the one I loved Is this our farewell? Sweet darling you worry too much, my child See the sadness in your eyes You are not alone in life Although you might think that you are Never thought This day would come so soon We had no time to say goodbye How can the world just carry on? I feel so lost when you are not by my side But there's nothing but silence now Around the one I loved Is this our farewell? Sweet darling you worry too much, my child See the sadness in your eyes You are not alone in life Although you might think that you are So sorry your world is tumbling down I will watch you through these nights Rest your head and go to sleep Because my child, this not our farewell. This is not our farewell. 04. Caged
These are the darkest clouds
To have surrounded me Now I find my self alone caught in a cage There's no flower to be found in here Not withering Or pale to me Everyone with a friendly face Seems to hide some secret inside He told me he loved me While he laughed in my face He just led me astray He took my virtue I feel so cold inside Sorrow has frozen my mind My heart is covered With thoughts entangled How could it ever have felt so real? Is there a place more lonely than I feel within? Could I have seen? Could I have known? I just took it as the truth Everyone with a friendly face Seems to hide some secret inside He told me he loved me While he laughed in my face He just led me astray He took my virtue I feel so cold inside Sorrow has frozen my mind Always there to remind me To keep me from believing That someone might be there Who'll free me and never ever leave me He told me he loved me While he laughed in my face He just led me astray He took my virtue I feel so cold inside Sorrow has frozen my mind 05. The Promise
On behalf of her love
She no longer sleeps Life no longer had meaning Nothing to make her stay She sold her soul away I held you tight to me But you slipped away You promised to return to me And I believed, I believed After the night he died I wept my tears until they dried But the pain stayed the same I didn't want him to die all in vain I made a promise to revenge his soul in time I'll make them bleed at my feet I held you tight to me But you slipped away You promised to return to me And I believed, I believed Sometimes I wonder Could I have known their true intentions? As the pain stayed the same I'm going to haunt them down all the way I made a promise to revenge his soul in time One by one they were surprised I held you tight to me But you slipped away You promised to return to me And I believed, I believed 06. Never-Ending Story
Armies have conquered
And fallen in the end Kingdoms have risen Then buried by sand The Earth is our mother She gives and she takes She puts us to sleep and In her light we'll awake We'll all be forgotten There's no endless fame But everything we do Is never in vain We're part of a story, part of a tale We're all on this journey No one is to stay Where ever it's going What is the way? Forests and deserts Rivers, blue seas Mountains and valleys Nothing here stays While we think we witness We are part of the scene This never-ending story Where will it lead to? The earth is our mother She gives and she takes But she is also a part A part of the tale We're part of a story, part of a tale We're all on this journey No one is to stay Where ever it's going What is the way? We're part of a story, part of a tale Sometimes beautiful and sometimes insane No one remembers how it began. 07. Deceiver Of Fools
He feeds on fear
He feeds on pain He rules again With growing hate He will guide Their faith again No light in the darkness Is too small to see There's always a sparkle of hope If you just believe He told the tale so many times About the dream not meant to be In a world of the free He plays with your mind As faith for the future faded fast He grows strong with their displeasure It sets him free Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools He rules with fear Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools He rules again He feeds on fear Poisons the truth To gain their faith To lead the way To a world of decay He rules your heart He will sell your soul to the grave No hesitation he'll make He belongs to the dark Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools He rules with fear Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools He rules again Please awake And see the truth He can only be If you believe what he tells you Remember who you are What you stand for And there will always be a way Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools He rules with fear Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools He rules again In my heart there is a place In my heart there is a trace Of a small fire burning A sheltering ray shines through this night Although it 's small, it's bright But darkness is lurking He will sell your soul to bitterness and cold Fear him Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools He rules with fear Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools Shall he rule again? 08. Intro
(Instrumental)
09. Dark Wings
Why was I one of the chosen ones?
Until the fight I could not see The magic and the strength of my power It was beyond my wildest dreams Dark wings they are descending See shadows gathering around One by one they are falling Every time they try to strike us down Don't you die on me You haven't made your peace Live life, breathe, breathe Don't you die on me You haven't made your peace Live life, breathe, breathe Dark wings they are descending See shadows gathering around One by one they are falling Every time they try to strike us down As they took your soul away The night turned into the day Blinded by your rays of life Give us the strength we needed Dark wings they are descending See shadows gathering around One by one they are falling Every time they try to strike us down Don't you die on me You haven't made your peace Live life, breathe, breathe Don't you die on me You haven't made your peace Live life, breathe, breathe 10. Perfect Harmony
In a world so far away
At the end of a closing day A little child was born and raised Deep in the forest on a hidden place Mother never saw his face Ancient spirits of the forest Made him king of elves and trees He was the only human being Who lived in harmony In perfect harmony The woods protected, fulfillled his needs Fruit by birds, honey by bees He found shelter under trees He grew up in their company They became his family Ancient spirits of the forest Made him king of elves and trees He was the only human being Who lived in harmony In perfect harmony A thousand seasons They passed him by So many times, have said goodbye And when the spirits called out his name To join forever, forever to stay A forest spirit he became Ancient spirits of the forest Made him king of elves and trees He was the only human being Who lived in harmony In perfect harmony 11. World Of Make Believe
On golden wings
She flies at night With her dress It's blinding white Countless diamonds And her long blond hair The queen is coming So you'd better be aware Her plants and flowers They are never the same Blue and silver It's all her game flying dragons And enchanted woods She decides, she creates It's her reality In her world Of dreams and make believe She reigns forever With all her glory Unicorns appear in her sight Her fireflies Lead her trough these woods At night In search of the legendary amulet And it's secrets In the big oak There is a door Wich will lead her To the wizard's shore And she'll ask him For the wind to sail her home To the world where she belongs In her world Of dreams and make believe She reigns forever With all her glory In this world Of endless fantasy She makes it happen It's her reality In her world Of dreams and make believe She reigns forever With all her glory In this world Of endless fantasy She makes it happen It's her reality 12. Bittersweet
If I tell you
Will you listen? Will you stay? Will you be here forever? Never go away? Never thought things would change Hold me tight Please don't say again That you have to go A bitter thought I had it all But I just let it go Hold your silence It's so violent Since you're gone All my thoughts are with you forever Until the day we'll be back together I will be waiting for you If I had told you You would have listened You had stayed You would be here forever Never went away It would never have been the same All our time Would have been in vain Cause you had to go The sweetest thought I had it al Cause I did let you go All our moments Keep me warm When you're gone All my thoughts are with you forever Until the day we'll be back together I will be waiting for you 14. Running Up That Hill
It doesn't hurt me
Do you want to feel how it feels? Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me? Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making? It's you and me And if I only could Make a deal with God And get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill Be running up that building So if I only could You don't want to hurt me But see how deep the bullet lies Unaware I'm tearing you asunder Oh, there is thunder in our hearts (Is there so much hate for the ones we love?) Oh tell me, we both matter, don't we? It's you and me that won't be unhappy And if I only could Make a deal with God And get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill Be running up that building And if I only could Make a deal with God And get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill With no problems (C'mon, baby, c'mon darling Let me steal this moment from you now C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling Let's exchange the experience) And if I only could Make a deal with God And get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill Be running up that building So if I only could Make a deal with God And get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill With no problems 15. Deep Within
Is there a place deep within
A place where you hide your darkest sins There's a strange kind of ambiance, it's surrounding you As a songstress you lure me, towards the truth Candles die down as you leave the room In my heart you leave no gloom As you lure me I know the truth You're a leprechaun, I see you through Is there a place deep within A place where you hide your darkest sins There's a strange kind of ambiance, it's surrounding you As a songstress you lure me, towards the truth 16. World Of Make-Believe
On golden wings
