01. The Curse Of The Chains (Intro)

[Instrumental]

02. Edge Of The World

In the city of Angels, the city of sin,
Who will survive (and) who's gonna win
Who's been the joker and who's been the fool
The game in the night has its own passion rule

We're losing our minds
Losing (our) souls
Who will restrain
Who can't let go

We're riding on, on the edge of the world
We're riding on, on the edge of the world
We're riding on

Take care of your body, take care of your skin
Don't turn out the lights or you'll never win
Be hunter or hunted in the streets of the night
Don't lose your control and try to survive

We're losing our minds
Losing (our) souls
Who will restrain
Who can't let go

We're riding on, on the edge of the world
We're riding on, on the edge of the world
We ride
We're riding on

We ride
We ride the edge of the world
We're riding on, on the edge of the world
We're riding on, on the edge of the world
The edge of the world

We're riding on, on the edge of the world
We're riding on
We're riding on, on the edge of the world
The edge of the world

We're riding on, on the edge of the world
We're riding on

The edge of the world
We're riding on...

03. Coming Home

In the city of the damned
Far away in a holy land
Where they feared his reign of terror

He called the dragons, ruled the land
Cursed the people, they're forever banned
But someone struck him down with holy water

Who's calling his name
(Who's calling his name)
will burn down in flames
He'll be born again
(Be born again)
At his resurrection

He's coming home
Coming home
He's coming home
The revenge of the Pharaoh

He's coming home
Coming home
He's coming home
The revenge of the Pharaoh

Rising from the mouldy grave
The beast is back to make some slaves
It's a never ending nightmare

They cast the spell, tried to win
But lost in vain, the evil's a sin,
The hope was lost and now they surrender

Who's calling his name
(Who's calling his name)
Will burn down in flames
He'll be born again
(Be born again)
At his resurrection

He's coming home
Coming home
He's coming home
The revenge of the Pharaoh

He's coming home
Coming home
He's coming home
The revenge of the Pharaoh

Oh!

Who's calling his name
(Who's calling his name)
Will burn down in flames
He'll be born again
(Be born again)
At his resurrection

He's coming home
Coming home
He's coming home
The revenge of the Pharaoh

He's coming home
Coming home
He's coming home
The revenge of the Pharaoh

He's coming home
(He casts away his spell)
You're trying to ...
He's coming home
(The walls of ...)
'Cause I know you're there
I can feel you near
He's coming home
Where is ... home
I know you're there

He's coming home
The revenge, the revenge
(He's coming home)
He casts away his spell
(Coming home)
He's trying to wish you well
They've lost their way ...

And the evil's ...
The evil's ...
(He's coming home)
Oh I can feel it in the air
He's coming home
(He's coming home)
Oh!

He's coming home
Coming home
He's coming home...

04. Live For The King

A dark night in paradise, the moon was on the rise
Yon can hear the cries when someone dies
On the scaffold in the valley of the king

The knights turned to stone with their flesh and their bones
They were locked in chains in this evil game
Trying to escape from the masquerade

To live for the king,
No one will ever win
You'll turn forever into stone

Hiding from the sun, the mob is on the run
They're coming home again, it never ends
Losing all their minds (and their souls)

To live for the king,
No one will ever win
You'll turn forever into stone

To live for the king,
No one will ever win
You'll turn forever into stone

Oooh! Oh yeah!

Long ago in a land far away
They were living in the garden of evil
They felt the magic, they'd been strong
Burned in fire, turned to stone
And hiding their faces from the sun

Oooh, casting the spell
No you're

Catching a dream and you don't know what it means
Give up your life, live for the king
Catching a dream and you don't know what it means
Give up your life, live for the king

The damned, they lived in anger, built a tower out of stone
And felt the cold wind from the dark side of the moon
The juggler, the holy, the joker and the ghost
Trying to escape out of the valley

Oooh, casting the spell
No you're

Catching a dream and you don't know what it means
Give up your life, live for the king
Catching a dream and you don't know what it means
Give up your life, live for the king

Catching a dream and you don't know what it means
Give up your life, live for the king
Live for the king

Catching a dream and you don't know what it means
Give up your life, live for the king
Catching a dream and you don't know what it means
Give up your life, live for the king

Catching a dream and you don't know what it means
Give up your life, live for the king
Catching a dream and you don't know what it means
Give up your life, live for the king

05. All The Rest Of My Life

In the distance from far away
I can hear your voice, the words that you say
You left forever, your love has been gone
But I still feel so strong... for you

You left me crying, you're leaving me alone
You and I together, once it was so strong
The shield of love has broken, you're fire has been gone
Now I'm back on my own

Come back and stay
Don't leave me all alone
Can you hear me pray
Forever
Forever

I want you,
All the rest of my life
I want you,
All the rest of my life
(The) rest of my life

Every moment (still) I'm thinking of you
But it seems that there's nothing, nothing I can do
If there's something, something I could say
To bring you back some day

Come back and stay
Don't leave me all alone
Can you hear me pray
Forever
Forever

I want you,
All the rest of my life
I want you,
All the rest of my life
(The) rest of my life

I want you,
All the rest of my life
I want you,
'Cause I need you
All the rest of my life

I want you,
And I want you
All the rest of my life
I want you,
(You'll always be the one)
All the rest of my life
(The rest of my life)

I want you,
(I need you close to me)
All the rest of my life
I want you,
('Cause I need you)
All the rest of my life
(All the rest of my life)

Yeah...

06. Follow The Sign

From far out of nowhere
Made of water, stone and sand
Came a holy man with evil eyes
To rule the promised land

with the eyes of a stranger
And backed on a thousand wings
He played a game to teach us all
The seven books of sin

We're riding the wind
And searching for the rainbow
We'll get rid of the sin
Near the thunder roll and feel the cold wind blow

Just follow the sign
Escape from the nightmare
Just follow the sign
Escape from the dream

Looking for glory
And the moon's shot down in flames
He is back again, the evil man
The king of a thousand names

Longing for tomorrow
We escape from yesterday
Riding on the storm, the edge of time
Hope to be back some day

We're riding the wind
And searching for the rainbow
We'll get rid of the sin
Near the thunder roll and feel the cold wind blow

Just follow the sign
Escape from the nightmare
Just follow the sign
Escape from the dream
Dream

Yeah!

Just follow the sign
Escape from the nightmare
Yeeah!
Just follow the sign
Escape from the dream
We're fallen (angels) riding on the storm
And we are searching for the rainbown
Hear the thunder
Follow the sign
(Oeh!)

07. Time Of The Truth

I was born in a cave of a mountain
I couldn't hear they were calling my name
All they said "it's the curse of the haunted"
I couldn't see that they're burned down in flames

Run away from the gates of thunder
Escaping from the scary dream
Holy knights, the seven wonders
(Will) help me through this mystery
Looking back there's a light in the darkness
Shining through the hole in the sky
The walls came down at the wizard's crown
Oh I wish, I wish I could fly

Locked again in a mountain
Dancing through the fire, ice and snow

Oooh, it's the time of the truth
Don't wanna hurt you
The liar and the fool
Oooh, it's the time of the truth
Don't wanna hurt you
The liar and the fool
Woh...

The grinder and the fallen angel,
The hangman's work was left undone
The gates of life are closed forever
Searching for the midnight sun
Sailing through a sea of shadows
Riding on the edge of time
The hands of doom are searching for you
And you wish, you wish you could fly

Dreams are turning into nightmares
And heaven turned to hell

Oooh, it's the time of the truth
Don't wanna hurt you
The liar and the fool
Oooh, it's the time of the truth
Don't wanna hurt you
The liar and the fool

Woh...

Oooh, it's the time of the truth
(The time of the truth)
Don't wanna hurt you
The liar and the fool
Oooh, it's the time of the truth
(The time of the truth)
Don't wanna hurt you
The liar and the fool

Oooh, I don't wanna play ...
Don't wanna hurt you
The liar and the fool
Oooh, it's the time of the truth
(The time of the truth)
I don't wanna hurt you, no
It's the time of the truth

(The time of the truth)
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna play ...
Yeeah, yeeah
It's the time of the truth
The time of the truth
(The time of the truth)

08. Heartbreaker

Not long ago we saw each other
For the first time at a show of a friend
We talked for hours in a round
We were glad that we've been found

And the sparkle in your eyes
Tells me (for) sure you don't know why
You left me alone

You're my Heartbreaker
I'm lost in the shadow of love
Heartbreaker
Alone and ready to fight

We shared the years, we shared each moment
Everyday on the phone late at night
You changed your mind, your heart was blinded
By your thoughts, that wasn't right for us

But the sparkle in your eyes
Makes me hope love will survive
And you'll come back to me

You're my Heartbreaker
I'm lost in the shadow of love
Heartbreaker
Alone and ready to fight

You're my Heartbreaker
I'm lost in the shadow of love
Heartbreaker
Alone and ready to fight

You're my Heartbreaker
I'm lost in the shadow of love
Heartbreaker
Alone and ready to fight

You're my Heartbreaker
I'm lost in the shadow of love
Heartbreaker
[Alone and lost] forever

You're my Heartbreaker
Don't leave me, don't [...]
Heartbreaker
Alone and ready to fight

Don't leave me alone

09. Saint Of Fools

In a time not long ago lived a juggler and a fool
Trying to steal away your daydreams
On and on, they carried on to break the crystal ball
But they'll lose in their game with their souls

They're living a lie
In their own world of danger
But when it's lost it's gone forever
Gone forever

Saint of fools
Your life has its own rules
Saint of fools
Your wisdom is your tool
Saint of fools
With the eyes of a stranger
Saint of fools
You're running into danger

The night is gone, the light shines on
And you can see the breed has gone
But the evil left their traces in the mirror

Now they're moving on to a new born home
Somewhere in a new world
But the scars of the past will not be gone

They're living a lie
In their own world of danger
But when it's lost it's gone forever
Gone forever

Saint of fools
Your life has its own rules
Saint of fools
Your wisdom is your tool
Saint of fools
With the eyes of a stranger
Saint of fools
You're running into danger

They got a bad reputation
They are the lords from hell
There will be no salvation
There's nothing more to tell

Saint of fools
Your life has its own rules
Saint of fools
Your wisdom is your tool
Saint of fools
With the eyes of a stranger
Saint of fools
You're running into danger

Saint of fools
And you're running
And you're running
Saint of fools ...

Saint of fools
Your life has its own rules
Saint of fools
(Who is your fool?)
Oh yeeeah!
Saint of fools

10. Under The Gun

(They) searched for love under the moonlight
Sailed on the storm, they touched the sea
(All) hell broke loose, they felt the cold wind blow
On the wings of the cold and rainy shore

Looks like nothing hasn't changed,
"Love, hate, war" it still remains
Lost in the world, like ice melts in the sun
But they'll carry on

Under the gun
Under the gun
Under the gun
And they carry on and on

A world of peace still to remember
They broke the chains to set us free
Lost in the world, like ice melts in the sun
But they'll carry on

Under the gun
Under the gun
Under the gun
And they carry on and on
And on!

Under the gun
Under the gun
Under the gun
And they carry on and on

Under the gun
(Looking in the mirror)
Under the gun
(What have we done)
Under the gun
((Searching) for the (reason))
And they carry on
(And) they carry on
