What - what's the price Ichabod
The price for your systematic denial of the underworld
You see what you want to see, hear what you want to hear
Slumbering behind your walls of false reality
With your life of man made rules still intact
But what happens when you get confronted?
With the shadows of the realm below
Will you loose your head?

NO!!!!

I will not believe it
I will not accept this
I will not be fooled
It's man made murder

There's no such thing as ghosts
It was the fog at most
Townsmen are lying
But I'll look in further

Now, speak the truth
What's your secret
Who's to blame for this murder

What is it I see
My eyes must be deceiving me - deceiving me
One swing another kill
His blade struck deep and I will
Go mad if I don't look away

[Chorus]
'Cause the horseman arose from the dead
To serve the witch who took off his head
And the witch holds him chained to her spell
Makes him kill for her purpose as well
And the evil has been given a name
The demon is riding again

I must unleash the secret
I must face my fears
I must clear my mind
And find his grave

Now, who pulls the strings
Who stole his head
I'm sure he kills in someone's name

The tracks lead back to someone
With unholy powers undone
Evil flowing through their veins
Many heads are taken now
They're all connected somehow
One benefits from wicked things,
From wicked things....

[Chorus]
'Cause the horseman arose from the dead
To serve the witch who took off his head
But she held on to his soul to long
And the evil must now be undone
I reveal you witch now you've cast your last spell
He knows who you are you'll join him on his way to hell...........

Welcome into my empty mind
To the ruins of old times
See what once was but is no more

Dreamspace of what should last upon
But the dreamers were failing
It was destroyed all to the core

I am the last, keeper of the past
Holder of the ancient knowledge
And I have been left back until time is no more
I am the last, keeper of the past
Holder of the ancient knowledge
And I have been left back until time is no more
I guard the ruins once fair as sunrise
Now this Kingdom is forsaken

My story is a sad one
I could not leave this place
The others are all long gone
I've existed in this realm
This forsaken kingdom
With beauty and love gone
Still I must call it my home
Secrets of unkind destiny
The echoes in these halls
The echoes in these halls
Still roam on and on
On and on

I hold the past within my heart
The reasons it went wrong
Find all your answers for yourself

I am spellbound to these halls
Protector of these walls
Though they're only empty shells

I am the last, keeper of the past
Holder of the ancient knowledge
And I have been left back until time is no more
I guard the ruins once fair as sunrise
Now this Kingdom is forsaken

My story is a sad one
I could not leave this place
The others are all long gone
I've existed in this realm
This forsaken kingdom
With beauty and love gone
Still I must call it my home
Secrets of unkind destiny
The echoes in these halls
The echoes in these halls
Still roam on and on
On and on

Still I must call it my home
Secrets of unkind destiny
The echoes in these halls
The echoes in these halls
Still roam on and on
On and on

Welcome into my empty mind
To the ruins of old times
See what once was but is no more

Skin of thorns
A breath of fire
No life comes near it
None feels it's desire

A longing for something
To ease the loneliness
In these deep enchanted woods
It feeds on emptiness

Who hears you, who sees you
Only those who you infect with fear
No equals, a darker part of light
Your only legacy was the pleasant shades of night

[Chorus]
And now it's been to long
Your cry of pain to someone
You are the melancholy beast of the woods
Never have you felt at home
In the silent dark of your throne
You are the melancholy beast of the woods

Who hears your cry
Who looks beneath
A twin born creature or a fellow soul

Behold your queen
One of your kind
Not of looks, but of what's kept inside

Who hears you, who sees you
Only those who you infect with fear
Across the ages you've waited patiently
Oh and now she's here, a light so clear

[Chorus]
And now it's been to long
Your cry of pain to someone
You are the melancholy beast of the woods
Never have you felt at home
In the silent dark of your throne
You are the melancholy beast of the woods

[Words spoken]
And the world held it's breath in enchantment
And the beauty and the beast within united
And the light and the dark were as one
And a new way of understanding was born

I feel it's hands on me
Constantly pulling me
On and on

It haunts me when I sleep
A burning longing dream
More and more
War of the mind

How can I deny
Questions of faith
Or a question of time
There it is clearly
Written here for me

Days go by, still I try
To realize the journey haunting me a night
Days go by, still I try
To realize the journey haunting me a night

The path lies open wide
It's up to me to glide
Through the maze

I have the will to see
My turn to break free
Glorious

War of the mind
How can I deny
Questions of faith
Or a question of time
There it is clearly
Written here for me

Days go by, still I try
To realize the journey haunting me a night
Days go by, still I try
To realize the journey haunting me a night
Days go by, still I try
To realize the journey haunting me a night
Days go by, still I try
To realize the journey haunting me a night

And at the journeys end
Then I will surely stand
More victorious than I've ever been

Days go by, still I try
To realize the journey haunting me a night
Days go by, still I try
To realize the journey haunting me a night
Days go by, still I try
To realize the journey haunting me a night
Days go by, still I try
To realize the journey haunting me a night

Watch us now, years went by like days
I see your face, there's love and no regret
But the lines have changed you're not the girl I once met

We're older and stronger
I don't question this any longer
And although sometimes it's hard
We won't drift apart

Now I'm falling through mazes of memories
From the beginning until now, we got this far somehow
Now I'm falling through mazes of memories
From the beginning until now, we got this far somehow

Where do we go when we grow old
I do not know, but I've been told
It's easier if your not alone
You won't have to go through life
On you own

'Cause I'll stay, until we fade away
Time Passing by, some things stay the same
I can still remember things I once said
I'll be there when you cry out my name

'Cause I'll stay, until we fade away
Time Passing by, some things stay the same
I can still remember things I once said
I'll be there when you cry out my name

Ice covers the land
Where it's never been before
Much living petrified at night
And gone is all light

One girl - One boy
A mistake that gives - the Dark Lord joy
Her beauty - her goodness
The Unicorns - came to her chest
Enchanted - they both are
Eyes are fixed on one another
Shadows creep up behind
Claim the magic horn of the Unicorn
The Unicorn - the Unicorn
The night has been reborn of the Unicorn
The Unicorn - the Unicorn
The legend has begun

The girl was weeping for sins
Her pain grows from deep within
Running away in agony
She could not bare to see

Someone waits - for her to move
The darkest lord - he wants her too
He must own - her special light
To sweeten his - darkest nights
This one boy - consumed by love
Must find his way - to the Dark Lords realm
Fighting through - to find his love
And claim the magic horn of the Unicorn
The Unicorn - the Unicorn
The night has been reborn of the Unicorn
The Unicorn - the Unicorn
The legend has begun
The legend has begun
The legend has begun

Through the darkness and despair's love carries him
Forward on swift wings through mazes in front of him
Guided by spirits that remain beside him
He must heal his world again
Save his princess from the shadows taken hold of her
The evil growing wants to rule the world with iron fists
Fighting for a kiss from her sweet lips he forges on
He brought back the light, settings things right
And so the legend says

Through the darkness and despair's love carries him
Forward on swift wings through mazes in front of him
Guided by spirits that remain beside him
He must heal the world again
Save his princess from the shadows taken hold of her
The evil growing wants to rule the world with iron fists
Fighting for a kiss from her sweet lips he forges on
He brought back the light, settings things right
And so the legend says

Endless ocean, oh mighty deep
A billion years old, and you never ever sleep
Nightmare creatures and playful friends
God's creations or natures circumstance

Look into the mirror of blue
And you'll see

[Chorus]
The Almighty Abyss
I often stare into
The Almighty Abyss
Always looking back at you... oh...
Stop to listen, and you will hear
The songs of centuries, they'll filling your ears
Shadows pass by just like a dream
Under the surface they're watching through the years

Look into the mirror of blue
And you'll see
The Almighty Abyss
I often stare into
The Almighty Abyss
Always looking back at you
The Almighty Abyss
I often stare into
The Almighty Abyss
Always looking back at you... ah

See
Hear
You will know
You will feel

The Almighty Abyss
I often stare into
The Almighty Abyss
Always looking back at you
The Almighty Abyss
I often stare into
The Almighty Abyss
Always looking back at you... ah

[Instrumental]

Look into my eyes
They're the windows of my mind
A dreamspace filled with power
Growing stronger by the hour

A realm of thought and dreams with no end
A stairway to a galaxy - ya
A galaxy of images sounds and words
It's liquid metal flowing through my veins
Power of imagination has put a spell on me
Realities Chains won't set me free

A thought can move mountains
An idea can make the day
Fantasy is a firestorm
That guides me on my way

A realm of thoughts and dreams with no end
A stairway to a galaxy - ya

A galaxy of images sounds and words
It's liquid metal flowing through my veins
Power of imagination has put a spell on me
Realities Chains won't set me free
And at the end of the day
When there are no more words to say
A new story emerges in my mind

And at the end of the day
When there are no more words to say
A new story grows emerges in my mind... emerges in my mind....
Emerges in my mind....... ohhhh..............................

Ancient tales and forgotten songs
Tell of former times
A magic world, where the dragons fly
Spreading out their flames

In this place good and evil still fighting
In between stood a powerful being

He was wearing a black cloak
And he was half human just
One word from his mouth
Could make mountains turn into dust

[Chorus]
Won't you honour him
With a thought or a smile
And will you tell his tales
To those you leave behind
Will you cry a tear
For a time long bygone
Then he will live on
'cause he was the wizard
He was the one

A tower so deep black, the night sky
Was nothing compared to that
And that's where he lived behind the walls
That could hold back time itself

He was a seer of past, present and future times
So filled with the wisdom that he could convince you with a rhyme

He was wearing a black cloak
And he was half human just
One word from his mouth
Could make mountains turn into dust

[Chorus]
Won't you honour him
With a thought or a smile
And will you tell his tales
To those you leave behind
Will you cry a tear
For a time long bygone
Then he will live on
'Cause he was the wizard
He was the one
