Tracks



01. A Past And Future Secret

Oh, I haven't been here for a while
In blindness and decay
The circle's been closed, now

My song of the end
My song of the end
I've seen it all

Listen crowd, I'll tell you everything
Though I have to say I don't know much
Talking about a past and future secret
Most called him once and future king
Far back in the past I saw his ending
Long before it started I knew his name
Let's the one who took the sword out of the stone
It's how that ancient tale began
I hear it in the cold winds

My song of the end
My song of the end
I had seen it in my dreams
My song of the end
I can't stop the darkening clouds

I feel cold when I cry out for the bark
Take him back to Avalon
Dwell on for a new age so long sleep well my friend
Take him back to Avalon
I will wait and guard the future king's crown

My song of the end
My song of the end
It was nice but now it's gone
My song of the end
It was fixed the whole time
My song of the end
I saw it all

02. Imaginations From The Other Side

Where are these silent faces
I took them all
They all went away
Now you're alone
To turn out every light so deep in me
Hold on, too late

Will I ever see them back again
Or did they all die by my hand
Or where they killed by the old evil ghost
Who had taken
The ocean
Of all my dreams which were worth to keep
Deep inside my heart
I wish I could get them back
From the everflow
Before they'll fade away

Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere it got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere it got back to my mind
Out of the dark back to the light
Then I'll break down the walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side

Where's the ocean's daughter
Was Peter Pan in Mordor
No one's there to keep alive
No one's there to keep alive
No one's there to keep alive
All these fairy tales
May I return to Oz
Will I meet the "Tin Man"
"Coward Lion" where are you
Without brain the scarecrow's lost
In the middle of the lake
Stranded in the real world
Left in a world no place for daydreams
Serious life
I fall into, I fall into a dark hole
And I can't come out

Do you know if Merlin did exist
Or Frodo wore the ring
Did Corum kill the gods
Or where's the wonderland
Which young Alice had seen
Or was it just a dream
I knew the answers
Now they're lost for me

Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere it got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere it got back to my mind
Out of the dark back to the light
Then I'll break down the walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side

I hope there is a way back
With my talisman
So I look into myself
To the days when I was just a child
Come follow me to wonderland
And see the tale that never ends
Don't fear the lion nor the witch
I can't come back
I'm lost but still I know
There is another world

Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere it got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere it got back to my mind
Out of the dark back to the light
Then I'll break down the walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side

03. The Wizard

He was the wizard of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him one night wandering
He told me tales and he drank my wine
Me and my magic man kinda feeling fine

He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire
And as he spoke I felt a deep desire
To free the world of its fear and pain
And help the people to feel free again

Why don't we listen to... the voices in our hearts
Cause then I know we'll find... we're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy...everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life... the peace that love can bring

So spoke the Wizard in his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom means we'll never be alone
And now I will dream of my magic night
And the million silver stars that guide me with their light

04. A Past And Present Secret

Oh, I haven't been here for a while
In blindness and decay
The circle's been closed, now

My song of the end
My song of the end
I've seen it all

Listen crowd, I'll tell you everything
Though I have to say I don't know much
Talking about a past and future secret
Most called him once and future king
Far back in the past I saw his ending
Long before it started I knew his name
Let's the one who took the sword out of the stone
It's how that ancient tale began
I hear it in the cold winds

My song of the end
My song of the end
I had seen it in my dreams
My song of the end
I can't stop the darkening clouds

I feel cold when I cry out for the bark
Take him back to Avalon
Dwell on for a new age so long sleep well my friend
Take him back to Avalon
I will wait and guard the future king's crown

My song of the end
My song of the end
It was nice but now it's gone
My song of the end
It was fixed the whole time
My song of the end
I saw it all
