Tracks



01. Shadow Of the Red Baron

The air battle stages in front of my plane
A combat of squadrons
With led bursting guns I'm in for heaven's destruction
The sun in my back and the target below
My tactic's a nose-dive
I fire at will - them bullets granting reduction

Airborne I am, out in the skies
Up and down I cut the clouds
Courage has wings, see how it flies
Only one thing gives me doubts

Phantom striker, shadow of the Red Baron
Heightbound hiker dying all alone
Shadow of the Red Baron
Shadow of the Red Baron

A legion of eagles we're looking for kills
Well practiced manoeuvres
The prevailing wind allows a swifter attacking
I'm fully aware of the risk which I take
I hope that I meet him
The best of us all - is gonna bleed for the wrecking

Airborne again, out in the skies
Up and down I cut the clouds
Courage has wings, see how it flies
Only one thought gives me doubts

Phantom striker, shadow of the Red Baron
Heightbound hiker, dying all alone
Shadow of the Red Baron
Shadow of the Red Baron

Yeah!

Airborne again, out in the skies
Only one thing gives me doubts

Phantom striker, shadow of the Red Baron
Heightbound hiker, dying all alone

Shadow of the Red Baron
Shadow of the Red Baron
Yeah!

02. Dreams

Romeo and Juliet
A love affair to wake the dead
Prince charming with a mandolin
So beautiful, a perfect scene
Once upon, nowadays
The turn of time knows many ways
If we had done what lovers do
I would not wish to start anew

Dreams come crawling out
Seems like losing ground

In my dreams, it's you and I
We are face to face and side by side
One sacred night
In my dreams, I realize
We will have to wait for paradise
One sacred night

Paris stole thee Helena
It caused a war with all Sparta
They found a trick to loot his town
Then mighty Troy was burning down
Once upon, now and here
A slightly different atmosphere
With pounding heart yet gone for good
I want to do what lovers should

Dreams come crawling out
Seems like losing ground

In my dreams, it's you and I
We are face to face and side by side
One sacred night
In my dreams I realize
We will have to wait for paradise

One sacred night
One sacred night
In my dreams, it's you and I
We are face to face and side by side
One sacred night
In my dreams, I realize
We will have to wait for paradise
One sacred night

03. Forever In The Dark

Vivos voco, mortuos plango
Fulgura frango, oho-oho-oho
Vivos voco, mortuos plango
Fulgura frango, oho-oho-oho

Do you believe in heaven
Deliverance and forgiveness
The christening holy water
(Is) freezing when saviours falter

Forever in the dark, forever in a world as cold as ice
Forever in the darkness
Forever in a world of pain and cries
I'm forever in the dark, ooh yeah (I'm forever in the dark)

Vivos voco, mortuos plango
Fulgura frango, oho-oho-oho
Vivos voco, mortuos plango
Fulgura frango, oho-oho-oho

Ready to meet the maker
Whenever he's keen to see me
A prodigal son of Eden
Returning the king of heathens

Forever in the dark, forever in a world as cold as ice
Forever in the darkness,
Forever in a world of pain and cries
I'm forever in the dark, forever in the dark, ooh yeah,

Forever in the dark
Ooh yeah yeah
Forever in the dark, forever in a world as cold as ice
Forever in the darkness,
Forever in a world of pain and cries
I'm forever in the dark, forever in the dark, ooh yeah
Forever, forever in the dark

04. Resurrection

Cthulhu, unnatural
Prodigious claws attacking
Belial, chimeras
That shall not bridge abysses
Amorphous confusion
Absurdly grotesque angles
Colossal and monstrous
- Blasphemy with glaring eyes.

Ah...
Hail thy resurrection
Legend rising from the ashes

Quiet shocking these night-gaunts
Unpleasant horns curved inward
The dagons and deep ones
The dark shades of expression
Amidst them sheer horrors
Dwell those who have no name
Things elder, membraneous
- Malignancy with bloodshot eyes

Ah...
Hail thy resurrection
Legend rising from the ashes

Ah...
"T is not dead that which
Can eternal lie,
But yet with strange aeons
Even death may die"

Hail thy resurrection.
Legend rising from the ashes
Hail thy resurrection
Legend rising from the ashes

05. Sahara

Have you heard of that old magic place
Where everything is like made of dust and stone
Once you have entered you cannot escape
Terra deserta will thrill you to the bone

Life is just but a caravan
What keeps you going is difficult to find
It never rains on a death parade
For it's the seekers everlasting lonely ride

Sahara - the hot wind rages
Sahara - vast hostile land
Sahara - on through the ages
Sahara - time is of sand

Buried deep under the golden shroud
There lies the desert son's greatest gift of all
You may not see what you're heading for
Still your origin is save behind dune walls

Life is just but a caravan
What keeps you going is difficult to find
It never rains on a death parade
For it's the seekers everlasting lonely ride

Sahara - the hot wind rages
Sahara - vast hostile land
Sahara - on through the ages
Sahara - time is of sand
Sahara - the hot wind rages
Sahara - vast hostile land
Sahara - on though the ages
Sahara - time is of sand

06. Black Devil Ship

Lost at sea, no homelands
Rain comes down, night close at hand
Mariners, unsaved souls
Caught between hull, spars, and bolts

Due south or north, east and west
On searching the way to ol' Davy's own chest

Through the storm, lightning hits
Oceans deep, bottomless pits
Bloodred moon, starsea skies
Bowknot tied the pirate flag flies

Due south or north, east and west
On searching the way to ol' Davy's own chest

From the mastheads to keel
She's a vessel surreal
It's one hell of a trip
On the black devil ship, aye!

From the mastheads to keel
She's a vessel surreal
It's one hell of a trip
On the black devil ship
From the mastheads to keel
She's a vessel surreal
It's one hell of a trip
On the black devil ship, aye!

Aye!

07. We Will Meet Again

Time to say goodbye
Time for letting go
All the tears I cry
Cannot bring you back
Depression comes slowly
Aware of thoughts unholy
Salvation, I pray for
Down on my knees I pledge allegiance (so help me God)

We will meet again
Somewhere in the other world
You gave me life but how you're gone and I've to carry on
We will meet again
Someday on the other side
Death can't do us part we'll re-unite

Silent is the room
Silent is my heart
Bitter hours loom
Things remain unsaid

Repression comes slowly
Won't care for thoughts unholy
Sensation, excites me
Down on my knees I pledge allegiance (so help me god)
We will meet again
Somewhere in the other world
You gave me life but now you're gone and I've to carry on
We will meet again
Someday on the other side
Death can't do us part we'll re-unite

Yeah, we will meet again
Somewhere in the other world
You gave me life but now you're gone and I've to carry on
We will meet again
Someday on the other side
Deaths can't do us part we'll re-unite
We re-unite, yeah, on the other side
We re-unite, yeah, on the other side
Yes, we will!

08. Universe

Impulses swirl downward
Give birth to speculation
Dark matter, transforming
Becomes determination

Time and history was never meant to be
After the bang, it will re-collapse again
Time and history was never meant to be
After the bang (bang), it will re-collapse again

Mystic forces of creation
Left behind a curse
A superhuman constellation
Called the universe, called the universe

So many dimensions
No man could ever count
Entropy observers
Are still constantly astound

Time and history was never meant to be
After the bang, it will re-collapse again
Time and history was never meant to be
After the big bang (bang), it will re-collapse again
Mystic forces of creation
Left behind a curse
A superhuman constellation
Called the universe, called the universe
Time and history was never meant to be
After the bang, it will re-collapse again

Mystic forces of creation
Left behind a curse
A superhuman constellation
Called the universe, called the universe

Called the universe

09. My Angel Is Gone

Summer spells passed by
Winter spreading out
No matter how I try I fail
Without a ray of hope
Warmth turning to cold
I have to cope with this great loss

For my angel is gone
My angel is gone, my angel is gone
My angel is gone

Mother, lady, saint
(The) rock on which I built
Walls came right tumbling down on me
You made that little boy
The man I am today
Though not with joy I say farewell

For my angel is gone
My angel is gone, my angel is gone
My passionate one
My angel is gone

My angel is gone
My angel is gone
My angel is gone
My angel is gone
My angel is gone

10. Only The Good Die Young

With my own eyes I saw the purity lie bleeding
With my bare hands I touched the innocence itself
Since darkness falls
The threatening shadows keep on rising
How can I stop that cycle
(I'm) just a humble servant of the Lord

Only the good die young, the evil live forever
Only the good die young, the evil live forever
Only the good die young

One day, I trust, then I will really understand it
One day however there might be peace of mind agreed
In roaring silence we pretend to listen closely
So all we hear is but a whisper in the hurricane of sound

Only the good die young, the evil live forever
Only the good die young, the evil live forever
Oh, only the good die young

Since darkness falls
The threatening shadows keep on rising
So all we hear is but a whisper in the hurricane of sound

Only the good die young, the evil live forever
Only the good die young, the evil live forever
Only the good die young (only the good die young)
Darkness falling, death is calling, purity lies bleeding
Shadows rising, evilizing
Only the good die young
Only the good die young

11. Ghost Of The Tzar
