The realm's bleeding
It suffers - Old and weak No further arguing There is war at hand The system's failing Engine's running Then after all I sense the end is dawning These lunatics deny the truth I know I will not fail There'll be War It's now or never We shall stand together One by one This world is sacred I'm coming home War It's now or never We shall stand together One by one This world is sacred I'm coming home Coming home You chase in twilight And you know You will be on your own On your own The misery shown I'll be alone in this hour I face the unknown Witness the end I'm bleeding,I'm fading Here in my final hour When long lost memories return And a voice keeps calling "All dead and gone It'sout of hand Life is in motion" I'm wishing,I'm fading "Time to wake up Face the truth" I'm sinking I'm drowning There's no doubt and no regret "Time to reveal now" This is no illusion It is real Carry on the flame It's not over now Watch me,I will rise Time to reveal now I know I will not fail Anymore I'm the one forever All that really matters Blessed realm This world is sacred I'm coming home War It's now or never We shall stand together One by one this world is sacred I'm coming home Yesterday's gone There's no today,no tomorrow I'm raised from the dead The ritual failed There at the gates I'm left alone in this hour Driven insane I am left alone And now I drown in deepest shadows While the golden hall is sealed I'm wishing I'm fading And I'm part of the machine My eyes are the eyes of a dead man And feel the unholy stream The source of my power T-energy I'm in control I will live forever All that really matters I'm the one This world is sacred I'm coming home War It's now or never We shall stand together One by one This world is sacred I'm coming home I spread my wings But keep on falling I should have Known I can see it coming The war is over There's whispering in the wind Just let me out of here There is no way There's no end While all the suffering goes on All that I know Is that I'm not insane It's not over 02. Tanelorn
I travel a dusty old road
And carry on ultimate terror The torture will grow While infinity's lost The lunatic fears the unknown Into the fire Curse me Unknown Into the fire Everything is gone Did I miss the point Or fail to see That I am lost Cause I'm chosen Crash another tower Grind the universe I'll tear it into pieces Mourn forevermore And here I... Cry for Tanelorn Still I fear the voices Cry for Tanelorn No more fear, no voices Cry for Tanelorn Into the void this journey ends I cry for Tanelorn The dawn comes crashing down Into the void My locked up asylum Don't turn your back On your prodigal son When terror is raging Still my hate will grow Here on my own I've built a pyre Oh, fire Here on my own I've wasted life So weak A dark sword A black soul My soulmate gets near Deceiver Deceiver I'm banned from the island Refuse me, deny me I'm pale and I'm weak Now I don't belong here anymore Cry for Tanelorn Still I fear the voices Cry for Tanelorn No more fear, no voices Cry for Tanelorn Into the void this journey ends I cry for Tanelorn The dawn comes crashing down Into the void The trouble of many I've seen It's coming to an end Here's my last stand The torture at last Will be gone with the past Infinity, where I'll go? Into the fire Curse me In war Into the fire Everything is gone It's your blood I desire The last soul I require Right after all the damage will be done And here I... Cry for Tanelorn Still I fear the voices Cry for Tanelorn No more fear, no voices "Feeding my void Feeding my void Here at the edge, I claim your soul" Cry for Tanelorn The dawn comes crashing down Into the void Stormbringer All hail Stormbringer 03. Road Of No Release
Ahhhh... Ahh ah ahhh...
Ahhhhhhh... Please, sister, wake me up You've traveled far Release my mind Sing this song of mine Save me from drowning Quick, cast your spell on me I sense you're finally getting near Can you hear me crying? I've got to break the silence I know they're out there Play hide and seek Watching My love is wasted My worst dreams I can't leave them I'm the black queen Here in barren lands When you walk down You may not find relief Will you go down there? I wonder Wonder why Here in this road of no release (road of no release) Pale reign of misery That even time cannot erase On through my sorrows Life will go on Words and dreams unite I hear an ancient voice It's calling for me When death and life collide I hear an ancient song The resurrected girl: Deep inside I can't find myself Can't remember at all The past and my strange end Come guide me now Can't remember my fall There's something There's someone It ain't over now The void - there's more to it It's real and still alive The necromancer: I will find you Slipping away I'll bind you Still I conquer the world Ohh! Take him away... Ohh! Here in this road of no release (road of no release) Pale reign of misery That even time cannot erase On through my sorrows Life will go on My last steps Can't leave her I, the old fox Will take revenge I cannot heal your fear and doubts The void, it waits for us Still, after all the ghosts are howling You cannot run, you cannot hide The void, it waits for us Still after all there is no choice Here in this road of no release (road of no release) Pale reign of misery That even time cannot erase On through my sorrows Life will go on AHHHHHHH!!!! The girl: Find me, I'm drowning Then once again There's nothing left I fear There's nothing more to say And no more games to play To play... 04. Ride Into Obsession
Come, I'll show you the end
You're damned 'Cause no-one can defy me Just watch these maddened creature Like you they all once reach out A war to win But I'm gonna burn this vision down Call me the father of lies Just watch these saddened creatures They've turned you into the savior You'll hold your ground Until your last breath You'll twist then turn And now you're falling down The battle rages on And forever and ever The wheel will turn Let ages come and go The wheel will turn now The wheel will turn Another ride into obsession I am reborn The wheel will turn now And I'm driven to obsession All these dying men Try to understand They all followed the sign It's the cycle's end There's no hope For a while From the ashes arise Can't save her Enjoy the flames so precious, so pure And you try, You're sure to fail And madness Is the price you've to pay Unholy grounds Witness your last breath The cycle ends And you're stumbling again We will go on and forever and ever it's raging on Now they just come and go (The Wheel will turn) The wheel will turn, now you ride into obsession I am reborn, (the wheel will turn) The wheel will turn and I'm driven to obsession Through the flames you see me, You'll be mine, believe me This is the moment I will fall Wake up the storm to face it Right now a land lies bleeding It's me, I conquer your soul I'll be on my way Oh light, let me out here, I pray And over and over and over again There is no beginning, no end This war ensnared us all and forever and ever I will return Now they just come and go (The Wheel will turn) The wheel will turn, now you ride into obsession I am reborn, (the wheel will turn) The wheel will turn and I'm driven to obsession 05. Curse My Name
The tenure of kings and their magistrates
By good men it must be deposed The covenant made can be voided at once Disanoint him, take his crown They plead for their king And they pity their lord Put him to death, that's why I say Though never so just these dancing divines Endue him with reason and grace They're gibberish Words dissemble the facts God's will They falsely will claim Let him curse my name On these blood stained pages of misery Let him call me a tyrant so cruel Let him curse my name But remember the truth So there they come From everywhere Their witness revenge Hear them calling "You're laden with blood It's spilled everywhere And sorrow's everlasting Oh you'll be aware now That trial is near It's close at hand The masquerade is over... It ends... Ahhh ahhh ahhhh... Ahhh ahhh ahhhh... Remove his crown And bring him down Remove his crown And bring him down Now we shall mourn no longer Our prayers they've been heard Now we shall mourn no longer Our prayers they've been heard (We won't take it anymore) There's no more league That will blind us to the tyrant (We won't take it anymore) Our voices shall be heard Cause we won't take it anymore (We won't take it anymore) There's no more league That will blind us to the tyrant (We won't take it anymore) Our voices shall be heard Cause we won't take it anymore And we're one we are the nation (We won't take it anymore) And we're one we are the law (We won't take it anymore) And we're one we are the nation (We won't take it anymore) And we're one we are the law (We won't take it anymore) Falsely they praise Deify his majesty "He's blessed the anointed's Fulfilling God's will" Curse them all No further he's king Providence brought him straight into our hands Let him curse my name On these blood stained pages of misery Let him call me a tyrant so cruel Let him curse my name But remember the truth Now let him appear There's joy in the air Now witness a new age is dawning In trouble alone He's facing despair Awaiting his bitter ending We all know he's guilty as charged By punishment due to his crime We sacrifice the wicked king Acknowledged by scriptures and law Let him curse my name On these blood stained pages of misery Let him call me a tyrant so cruel Let him curse my name but remember the truth... On these blood stained pages of misery Let him call me a tyrant so cruel Let him curse my name but remember the truth... We won't take it anymore Our voice it shall be heard We won't take it anymore But I will remember the truth We won't take it anymore Our voice it shall be heard We won't take it anymore But I will remember the truth 06. Valkyries
To the gods of the north I pray
And raise my cup for the fallen ones Then I cry In Valhalla they sing Rain Red blood keeps pouring down Come Valkyries, join me on that final ride Here I lie bleeding Odin, I await thee The battle rages on New lines they're weaving The future, the past and the present They're one They will reveal their mask To show me a way to survive This bitter war Soon it will be over He will be the one We'll weave in And terror will now rule these lands When the battle is lost And the slain ones are chosen Valkyries will guide us home When the battle is lost And the slain ones are chosen Valkyries will guide us home Destiny A spinning wheel The path of glory Round and round Come join us On your final ride to Asgard Let's move on fast Allfather awaits So let's heed the final call For now We leave this world behind It's over All glory to the brave Still blood will rain Through storm and fire Let war winds reign It's the feast for the crows Follow the light, the light Just follow the light, the light Or fade away Soon it will be over He will be the one We'll weave in And terror will now rule these lands When the battle is lost And the slain ones are chosen Valkyries will guide us home When the battle is lost And the slain ones are chosen Valkyries will guide us home We'll keep on weaving We're crushing through lines With our battering swords We're marching on Assign the brave To survive This bitter war Soon it will be over He will be the one We'll weave in And terror will now rule these lands When the battle is lost And the slain ones are chosen Valkyries will guide us home When the battle is lost And the slain ones are chosen The Valkyries will guide us home We'll heed the final call A call to arms The Valkyries will guide us home Then finally I hear them say Carry on For Valhalla awaits you 07. Control The Divine
For what I was
I'm doomed to be The tempter and the secret foe Cause I am hell and hell is me Pure hate will grow Still I claim to be the chosen one and Still I claim This is rebellion rising First amongst equals We're bound to no law There's no one before us Ethereal sons Now disobey Awake and arise You'll be free How can we take it away From someone who has no right? No right to control the divine Night shall invade Suspicion awakes Wherefore He's greater than I Stay silent Until the end of the world So just like slaves we may deem him Dead silence Until the end of the world Hence from this moment we're doomed I feel It hurts though Disburdened spirits we will be I've learned my lesson Pure and sore An offer divine We're far beneath them They consider us slaves They steal our pride Don't trust them blindly Cause truth they conceal As it seems I'll reign Cause here in my tower Impassioned, I'll show you a way I can feel your hallowed rage Now enter my realm Awake and arise, you'll be free How can we take it away From someone who has no right? No right to control the divine Night shall invade Suspicion awakes Wherefore He's greater than I Descend - just keep moving All things shall proceed It's freedom you're choosing Preserve our hate Eternalize Awake and arise You'll be free How can we take it away From someone who has no right? No right to control the divine Night shall invade Suspicion awakes Wherefore He's greater than I How can we take it away From someone who has no right? No right to control the divine Night shall invade Suspicion awakes Wherefore He's greater than I 08. War Of The Thrones
Nothing will grow here
Icy fields - blackened sorrow Legacy of a lost mind Feed my void What you're waiting for I'm too late It is more than a game The river reveals Now I'm in between these lines I cannot escape it seems Sail on, my friend All I ever feel is All I ever see is Walls they fall When the march of the others begin All I ever feel is All I ever see is Rise and fall When the War of the Thrones shall begin While I sit there in silence Come and talk to me I can't free my mind It is all I'm begging for While I sit there in silence Will it ever end? Will I find what I'm longing for? Will I ever walk out of the shadows so grey? I'm condemned, I am hallowed Icy fields they won't hurt anymore Will you walk with me? Any further There at world's end It's me I sing I cannot escape it seems Sadly I sing All I ever feel is All I ever see is Walls they fall When the march of the others begin All I ever feel is All I ever see is Rise and fall When the War of the Thrones shall begin Away Watch the river it flows Now and ever I cannot believe in more And now my time will come Carry on Will I ever learn from the past? Will I fade away? Will I ever stay where the shadows will grow? There is luck at the gallows I will free my mind Soon it will show Let it rain There'll be no spring My dream is a mirror It reveals a matter of lies All I ever feel is All I ever see is Walls they fall When the march of the others begin 09. A Voice In The Dark
A sense of denial
Come witness my trial The crow has turned into a liar I'll live, I may die I've failed though I've tried But finally I fly It is the fool Who puts faith in false saviors The innocent understands He's still falling And furthermore He's now aware "Come spread your wings Awake now" The enemy within Will soon appear You're trapped in my mind Ask for the key Don't search for fine lines There's no release Though I can feel its presence There's a sign to reveal Then after all I'm sure I'll keep on falling They send a sign When dead winter will come again There from the ruins I will rise Fear the voice in the dark Be aware now Believe in dark wings and dark words The shadow returns Fear the voice in the dark Be aware now Black shadows they hide and they wait But they soon will return It will never be the same And nothing remains I can't find a way But I'm facing it Oh there will be no savior I can foresee all the pain They are about to creep in "Curse me, hate me, hurt me, kill me" Oh they will rest no longer "Paralyzed and frozen Free your mind You're broken Paralyzed and frozen Learn to roam Don't look back" On stunning fields of mayhem I will find no relief It's just a dream I wish that I could tell you The vision fades There is no sanctuary What will go up Surely comes down Fear the voice in the dark Be aware now Believe in dark wings and dark words The shadow returns Fear the voice in the dark Be aware now Black shadows they hide and they wait But they soon will return In vain Still I don't understand So talk to me again Why do I fear these words? What keeps holding me back? I hear a voice It comes from everywhere "Now find a way Cause you're the key Begin to understand" The descending ends Now I know I won't fly again On through the mist, I'm facing ground Fear the voice in the dark Be aware now Believe in dark wings and dark words The shadow returns Fear the voice in the dark Be aware now Black shadows they hide and they wait But they soon will return 10. Wheel Of Time
Now there is no end
The wheel will turn, my friend I'm in flames Cause I have touched the light It pulls me so We shall be one Forevermore That's all I want It's all I need Everything is fixed There's no chance There's no choice It's calling me "Saidin" So precious and sweet My mind keeps fading away It's scratching deeper My sole reliever How can I find you now? Passing through the flames I see How terror will rise It soon will be over Of father of lies Like foul winds at twilight It's coming over me What was and what will be? What is? I don't know Driving me insane Just feel the heat Madness creeps in I'll tear it down There's no end Wheel of time It keeps on spinning There's no beginning Turn the wheel of time There's no beginning Just keep on spinning Light - it binds me Light - it blinds me Light - it finds me Light denies me now I creep along So desperate and tired Let me ask you Why? I am what I am Prophecies I am the chosen "Taveren" The flame will grow Feel the heat I'll keep on breathing After all there's no tomorrow Wheel of time Save my soul, find a way And if I fail, will it all be over? Oh wheel of time The vision So fleeting and vague Once again I will bring down the mountain One last glimpse It is constantly slipping away The young man said "I will never give up" The inner war I can hold against it My mind, my mind My mind's in darkness The young man said "I will never give up" The prophecy Behold it's true I conquer the flame To release the insane I'm crying I cannot erase I'm the dragon reborn And in madness I soon shall prevail Twice I'll be marked and Twice I shall live The heron sets my path And name me true Twice I'll be marked and Twice I shall die My memory's gone But twice I pay the price Wheel of time Save my soul Find a way May it be as the pattern has chosen Oh, wheel of time Turn the wheel of time It keeps on spinning There's no beginning There's no end, wheel of time There's no beginning Just keep on spinning Shine on Embrace and deny me Turn on, wheel of time Shine on You've burnt me, now guide me Weave on, wheel of time |
