02. Banish From Sanctuary

Music by André Olbrich; Hansi Kürsch; Marcus Siepen; Thomas Stauch
Lyrics by Hansi Kürsch
In deserts I was preaching The hand of god was with me
Baptised with water and I praised
The one who came behind me
To save us all with the holy ghost
-a prophet of the fools I've been lost

I'm sure you're there wandering around
But do you care for me I'm alone
You talk of love not for me
In my dungeon cold I could think about
All the things you've said
But I can't understand your famous son
[Lead:Andre]

[Ref:]
No no turning back
I'm banished from sanctuary
The darkness in me is filling me with pain
There's no way to turn back for eternity

In shadows I'm walking and caught in loneliness
Deliverance I wait for but how long?
Are you the one who should come show me the light in you
Or should we wait for someone? Another!

[Ref:]
No...
[Solo: Andre/Lead:Marcus/Andre]

Your reich should come to this world
Your way smoothed by my blood, friend
My might will decrease but you'll get
High, yes so much higher be careful of the rats, friend
Cause they'll never sleep before they catch you, too

The blind can see the sun, cripples walk alone
The deaf can hear my words they believe just believe
They believe in me. Look! The signs are near
To perform my task to perform my way
To perform the way I walked
The way of the crucifix
[Lead:Andre]

I hear the hangman coming, I wait for execution

[Ref:]
No...

03. Damned For All Time

Music by André Olbrich; Hansi Kürsch; Marcus Siepen; Thomas Stauch
Lyrics by Hansi Kürsch
[Lead:Andre]
Conquer the whole world to satisfy
Their lust for pain and terror
Disguise their faces to hide them
In the dark Determination

The oath on the runestaff is the highest
The ruin of a nation Step by step Destiny
[Lead:Andre]

Damned for all time - but what's time
Tales of the one who's born to change

And as the earth was old and cold
She closed her eyes and fell to sleep
Violation ruled the world
The dark kingdom's time

He's called Hawkmoon wearing a sign
Black jewel in his head
He's the one who's forever there
He's born a thousand times

[Ref:]
Damned for all time In every age he existed
Damned for all time In every future he'll live
For all time He's crying He's crying

Hey strange one I know you're standing there
The faces are they mine?
Are you out there?
Watch out for the day, friend I'll know your name
Hear my laughter

Oblivion - who's blowing the horn
Oblivion - who's killing the gods

[Ref:] Damned...
[Solo:Andre]

Dark kingdom's lost now. No pain storms the land
Strange things are happening. Changing of all planes
In the universe by a bad magician
To conquer the power of this magic
A place where truth waits must be found Tanelorn

Damned for all time - who am I?
Once I've been called Erekose

I was Elric - I'll be Corum I'm the prince of the south ice
Now I'm nothing Wait for someone Wait for Ilian No! I'm Hawkmoon

Oblivion - the war is eternal
Oblivion - the battle is endless

[Ref:] Damned...

04. Follow The Blind

Music by André Olbrich; Hansi Kürsch; Marcus Siepen; Thomas Stauch
Lyrics by Hansi Kürsch
Follow the blind
Your journey, your last hope, it can begin
These passing dreams were real not fantasy
There are more things than we know Come take my hand
[Solo:Andre]

Searching for the talisman you'll find it
On another plane far from all time
Maybe you wonder while you see The same faces
Everywhere You can find yourself in it
'cause you're a part

I'm another Strange my feelings Where I am here For a short time
I remember I had been here
[Solo:Marcus]

[Ref:]
I'm alone, follow me!
Calling you, follow me!
I'm alone, follow me!
Follow the blind
Follow me
Follow me it's my time
Follow me
Follow the blind

Wandering in my darkest dreams Iron shadows are lurking at me
In this desert the tyrant's calling On the run to save my love
She's full of pain The queen is lying far behind
In an endless dream
[Solo:Andre]

Before I thought I was dreaming
A strange voice whispers in my ears
You're the rat in the trap
Return, pain will come to you

Ref: I'm alone...No!
[Lead:Andre]

05. Hall Of The King

Music by André Olbrich; Hansi Kürsch; Marcus Siepen; Thomas Stauch
Lyrics by Hansi Kürsch
Alone I walk, hearing a voice, That's calling my name
No one with you, God, why I didn't care
On through death take me away
To the place time will not fade
Colder than dead, Darkness - eternity, But look out

A hundred thousand centuries The sun had never seen
So near but much too far Eternal place you know what's life
But cannot tell

I can never see you changing But you look to me
Time will never heal your wounds But you're immortal

Hall of the King a vision of the end
Hall of the King don't cry for us
Don't hear us calling Oh watch out for me Hall of the light
My last sin

You find yourself, just take a look To see you must open your eyes
Like a hawk in the sky, a wonder that dies Don't ask me why

[Lead:Andre]

You're the birth and you're the end
You've been hurt but you're not dead
Discovering you is what should never be
Poisoned are our souls, And dark our hearts
Ruins we have left to rule the world
Destructive are our minds, It's much too late
[Solo:Kai Hansen / Harmony lead: Kai Hansen]

[Ref:] Hall...

06. Fast To Madness

Music by André Olbrich; Hansi Kürsch; Marcus Siepen; Thomas Stauch
Lyrics by Hansi Kürsch
[Lead:Andre]

White hair and red eyes he is holding the crown
The king of the island Elric Melnibone
He's born for destruction
He's ruled by the Gods eternal hero
The scale of the universe

Blood on his hands he's born a thousand times
Why don't we feel the signs from the dragon king
[Lead:Andre]

Before the end of fire his journey starts
The eagle's spreading his wings following his fate
He's ruled from anywhere leads him to truth it's deep inside

Hail to the king they bless tonight He's the Saviour of our time
In a dark land far behind noone knows its name
There's a dark sword cold as ice A blade created for him

Stormbringer cries for the soul of everyone
Stormbringer cries "The ending has begun"

[Ref:]
Run fast to madness Forever I
Run fast to madness Leave him alone
[Solo:Andre]

[Ref:] Run...

Destiny calling him back to the island
And time? Time is standing still
Time is not real [2x]

Armed with weapon awaiting the fight
He's leading the dragon The sun will never rise
Creatures are lurking in darkness they hide
High in the sky the dragon king is flying
[Lead:Andre]

Hail to the king of Melnibone
He's the Saviour of our time

Mourning desert rottingness Blade of dark will rise
Gods divine are hiding in the dark Needing Elric's hand

Stormbringer cries "I'm forged in darkest time"
Stormbringer cries "The ending has begun"

[Ref:] Run...
[Lead:Andre]

08. Valhalla [ft. Kai Hansen]

Music by André Olbrich; Hansi Kürsch; Marcus Siepen; Thomas Stauch
Lyrics by Hansi Kürsch
High in the sky where eagles fly Morgray the dark enters the throne

Open wide the gate friend the king has come
Blow the horn and praise the highest lord
Who'll bring the dawn he's a new god in the palace of steel
Persuade the fate of everyone The chaos can begin let it in
[Lead:Andre]

[Bridge:(Kai Hansen)]
So many centuries, so many gods
We were the prisoners of our own fantasy
But now we are marching against these gods
I'm the wizard, I'll change it all

[Ref:]
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me [2x]
[Solo:Andre]

Magic is in me I'm the last magic man
Never found what I was looking for
Now I found it but it's lost

The fortress burns Broken my heart
I leave this world All gods are gone

[Bridge:(Kai Hansen)]
So many centuries, so many times
We were the prisoners of our own fantasy
But then we had nothing to lead our lives
No no we didn't play with our time

[Ref:] Valhalla...

09. Don't Break The Circle [Demon Cover]

Music & lyrics by Mal Spooner/Dave Hill
Don't break the circle
Don't break the circle

Concentrate!
I'm your contact link across the great divide
Many voices in my ear
Hold on I think there's something coming through
From the other side. It's for all those who believe
The chain is stronger if the lifeline is unbroken
So beware the presence of The Unexpected Guest

Don't break the circle
Don't break the circle

Unexplained
Many things we thought were lost may come to light
On a higher plain in the spirit world
Where only a few of us possess the second sight
Now the messenger awaits
The chain is stronger if the lifeline is unbroken
So beware the presence of The Unexpected Guest

Don't break the circle
Don't break the circle.The circle must keep going on and on

But wait
Is there one amongst us here who believes?
A stranger to the sign
Take care, for all the things you fear
May be revealed
Within the forces of the night
The chain is stronger if the lifeline is unbroken
So beware the presence of The Unexpected Guest

Don't break the circle
Don't break the circle
Don't break the circle
Don't break the circle
The circle must keep going on and on
Yes, the circle must keep going on and on

11. Majesty [Demo]

Music by André Olbrich/Hansi Kürsch/Marcus Siepen/Thomas Stauch
Lyrics by Hansi Kürsch
Now the time has come for to leave this land
Take my charge with pride sacrifice

Oooh

Running and hiding I'm left for the time
To bring back the order of devine
Hunted by goblins no Gandalf to help
With swords in the night
Oh the last part of the game
Decision of death and life
Blood for Sauron they'll call tonight
The final battle cry

Running and hiding I'm left for the time
To bring back the order of devine
There exist no tales and hobbits are crying
For all
Children of death

I have a dream
The things you've to hide for
Deliver
Our kingdom and our reich
Don't fall in panic
Just give me the thing
That I need or I kill
Don't run away
For what have I done

[chorus]
Oooh Majesty
Your kingdom is lost
And you will leave us behind
Oooh Majesty
Your kingdom is lost
And ruins remind of your time
Now come back

[chorus]
Oooh Majesty
Your kingdom is lost
And you will leave us behind
Oooh Majesty
Your kingdom is lost
And ruins remind of your time
Run, run, run

Cries
Cries in a dark land
Hear the voice it's cold as ice
Eyes
They are watching
They look for me but cannot find

Creature is following no place to escape
My last steps will find the right way
Where is the future the call of the blind
Cause there is none to find
Watch the sky you see no light
My weapons burst with fear
With the howling wolves the nazgul will die
For all
Children of death

Cries
Cries in a dark land
Hear the voice it's cold as ice
Eyes
They are watching
They look for me but cannot find
Run
Run for the whole world
It's time you cannot wait
Lost
Lost in a dark world
You feel the strange but cannot see

Too many battles we carry along from the war
And too many frightens we feel from his law
For so many victories we're praising so strong
For so many blood we've lost

[chorus]
Oooh Majesty
Your kingdom is lost
And you will leave us behind
Oooh Majesty
Your kingdom is lost
And ruins remind of your time
Run, run, run
Behind
Run, run

Lyrics by Hansi Kürsch
[Instrumental]

13. Battlions Of Fear [Demo]

Music by André Olbrich/Hansi Kürsch/Marcus Siepen/Thomas Stauch
Lyrics by Hansi Kürsch
Can't believe the things I see
That happens in the state
By a mortal distance that I can't believe

Self destructive infernal
To save us from the breed
But I know that it is all a lie

Star wars begin now
His bombs come exploding
To bring back the death of the night

No mercy he's knowing
How strong he must show us
For the last film you all get a part

Be by my side
Or you have to die
Believe what I do is the right

Soon Armageddon
Last hours are running now
The final solution begins

The words of a madman
No children to tell them
For what they will not see the light

Choose by your voice
He kills and destroys
At the end you must die for the night

In earlier chess games we're playing the part of a soldier
But now we are not qualified to save our own life

The traps are all placed by command they are ready to strike, yeah
We live and we will die by the lies, a lies to believe

[bridge]
Try to escape from this suicide dreams
Or past time will come back again
Hiroshima is a joke to that what will come
At the end of the game we all die
Die now

[chorus]
Battalions of fear
They search and they scream for the American dreams
Battalions of fear
The way of R.R. to show he is the star
Battalions

Star wars begin now
His bombs come exploding
To bring back the death of the night

No mercy he's knowing
How strong he must show us
For the last film you all get a part

Be by my side
Or you have to die
Believe what I do is the right

With hands full of blood
He talks about peace
With snake poisoning tongue
He's praying

El Salvador and Vietnam
You soon fast forget
But you satisfy on Afghanistan

You've been the master
You kill with a laughter
Your screams of peace are wrong and loud
Cause so we are and here we are

We scream and shout!

Your laughing about all the fools

Scream and shout!

With power of evil they stand

[bridge]
Try to escape from this suicide dreams
Or past time will come back again
Hiroshima is a joke to that what will come
At the end of the game we all die
Die now

[chorus]
Battalions of fear
They search and they scream for the American dreams
Battalions of fear
The way of R.R. to show he is the star
Battalions of fear
The way of R.R. to show he is the star
Battalions
Battalions

14. Run For The Night [Demo]

Music by André Olbrich/Hansi Kürsch/Marcus Siepen/Thomas Stauch
Lyrics by Hansi Kürsch
There comes the last part and end of our old age
With thunder and lightning the dark lord is taking
The crown of the whole world
His creatures will kill me poisons my soul
To the end I will fight but I know that the things
That I do are so meanless - oh, no!

I see the hill but it's so far away I know I can't reach it
But I try it again and again in my dark dreams
He's waysting my last will how long can I stay here
When the mightiest of all will now

[chorus]
Run for the Night burn away
The times of his fall I've to pay

Visions of darkness prepared for the last strike
Blooddlust their weapons and madness you see feel their
Eyes there's no way out
I'm lost in a dark dream and losing control
To the end I will fight but I know that the things
That I do are so meanless - oh, no

I see the hill but it's so far away I know I can't reach it
But try it again and again in my dark dreams
He's waysting my last will how long can I stay here
When the mightiest of all will now

[chorus]
Run for the Night burn away
The times of his fall I've to pay

You see them running in the shadows of the night
It is not what it used to be
They've been scared and they've been anxiously tonight
You see them running with the wind

They
Run for the night
Run for the night
Run for the night

[chorus]
Run for the Night far away
The times of his fall I've to pay
Run for the Night far away
The times of his fall I've to pay
