Tracks



01. Land Of The Dead

Sail on, sail through the night
Your time has finally come
To reach for the stars, reach for the sun
Dream on, dream of a better life
One day you'll see the light
Just open your eyes, don't give up the fight
Never surrender

Shake the thunder from the skies
Keep your dreams alive
Send a message to the world
Don't believe their dirty lies
This is our time, we're breaking out
From the land of the dead
The land of the dead

Break your chains, it's time to be free again
You want to fly away
Into the sky, this is no crime
Stand tall, stand for the life you choose
Don't be afraid to lose

You'll never know until you try
Never surrender

Shake the thunder from the skies
Keep your dreams alive
Send a message to the world
Don't believe their dirty lies
This is our time, we're breaking out
From the land of the dead
The land of the dead

Burning towers in the morning sky
Planes falling down so hard
No one knows why so many died
Mastermind, hiding away somewhere
Making the whole world scared
It's hard to believe, nobody cares
Never surrender

Shake the thunder from the skies
Keep your dreams alive
Send a message to the world
Don't believe their dirty lies
This is our time, we're breaking out
From the land of the dead
The land of the dead

Fighting our way in a world so obscene
Where nothing is ever quite what it seems
Like sheep to the slaughter we're being misled
I'll never return to the land of the dead

02. Sands Of Time

What are the questions, where are the answers
Who are the wise men and who are the fools
Who are the judges that make all the rules
When is the day that comes too soon
What is the right side of a prison bar
What is the distance that is too far
How can we live and not be free
How can we find what we cannot see

All that matters will burn in our minds
Everything passes through the sands of time
All the gold will cease to shine
Everything must pass through the sands of time

Can we visualize or even try
To seek the knowledge of those that died
Defy the darkness with the light
Fight for a change in a world of might
Can we remember what it was we feared
Can we see what is not clear
Can we face a world that is not true
Is there more after your life is through

All that matters will burn in our minds
Everything passes through the sands of time
All the gold will cease to shine
Everything must pass through the sands of time

All that is written, all that is taught
All the great wars that were ever fought
All the knowledge in all the books
All the false gods that we mistook

All must crumble, all must die
Everything must pass through the sands of time
All must crumble, all must die
Everything must pass through the sands of time

Sands of time, sands of time
Everything must pass through the sands of time
Sands of time, sands of time
Everything must pass through the sands of time

03. Twilight Of The Gods

[Instrumental]

04. Stranger In Paradise

You don't know what it's like
All alone in the night
Walking through empty streets
Ms mind still takes me back
To a place long ago
To a time in my life
That I just can't let go

If you wish for the sky
Are you ready to die
If you pray for heaven
Are you ready for hell
Sometimes it's hard to tell
When you finally arrive
Will you be there in time

I'm just another
Stranger in paradise
On a dark and lonely day
Stranger in paradise
I'm trying to find my way
I'm a stranger in paradise
I can't find my way back
Stranger in paradise

When the wolf's at your door
And he's hungry for more
There no chance to escape
Cause you can't change your fate
When your time finally comes
Will you still try to run
Never touching the sun

I'm just another
Stranger in paradise
On a dark and lonely day
Stranger in paradise
I'm trying to find my way
I'm a stranger in paradise
I can't find my way back
Stranger in paradise

05. Here We Are

Here I stand on the edge of time
Clouds above me in the moonlit sky
In a place where fantasies come alive
Beneath the shadow there's a long lost soul
On a journey and he's far from home
But it's been so long and he can't remember why

All along our fortunes flashed before our eyes
We stand alone, we conquer and divide

Here we are, the true survivors calling
I sere we are, a dark horse in the night
Here we are, the true survivors
Keep the flame forever burning bright

In the middle of a restlessness night
Undercover with no place to hide
I can't turn back cause the strong they will survive
So many times we were lost and cold
So many dreams have been bought and sold
Down the river by the ones who left us there to die

All along our fortunes flashed before our eves
We stand alone, we conquer and divide

Here we are, the true survivors calling
Here we are, a dark horse in the night
Here we are, the true survivors
Keep the flame forever burning bright - In the night

Out of the shadows where we walked alone
We stand together ten thousand strong
We were lost before but now we're coming home
So many miles on an endless road
So many stories yet to unfold
But we stand together dignified and bold

All along our fortunes flashed before our eyes
We stand alone, we conquer and divide

Here we are, the true survivors calling
Here we are, a dark horse in the night
Here we are, the true survivors
Keep the flame forever burning bright

06. Warning Fire

Underneath a blood red sky
Deep within the restless tide
We blaze a trail
Where few men dare to try

Nameless warriors, swords held high
Prepared to fight ready to die
There is no time
To question or reason why

Holding the flame in their god's name
They light the fires
And only death will quench their desires

Send shots of warning fire
In the battle smoke will rise
Send shots of warning fire
Charge into the night
Charge into the night
Charge into the night

Upon the shores, across the sea
The travel far to their destiny
With no remorse we'll bring them to their knees

Standing soldiers, death defied
Hear echoes of the battle cries
Can liberty and justice survive

Holding the flame in their god's name
They light the fires
And only death will quench their desires

Send shots of warning fire
In the battle smoke will rise
Send shots of warning fire
Charge into the night
Charge into the night
Charge into the night - Charge

Holding the flame in their god's name
They light the fires
And only death will quench their desires

Send shots of warning fire
In the battle smoke will rise
Send shots of warning fire
Charge into the night

Send shots of warning fire
In the battle smoke will rise
Send shots of warning fire
Charge into the night
Charge into the night
Charge into the night - Charge

Toy soldiers marching up the hillside
Don't shoot until the order's given
Tension keeps growing higher
You must hold, hold your fire

07. Daughter Of Darkness

She came to me inside a dream
Bathed in the light of a thousand years
Through the mist of another cold black night

A lonely road at the edge of the world
A sudden change in the mist occurred
Her eyes glowed bright, but her gaze spoke of doom

I felt the wind on my back, I saw the knife in her hand
That's when I knew I had to run away

Daughter of darkness, now I see who you are
Daughter of darkness, an evil face in the crowd
Daughter of darkness, I know who you are
Daughter of darkness, let me come inside

A simple touch put an end to my fears
Her soothing voice was all I could hear
Beckoning me toward her gift of light
I tried to hide from the shadow she cast
Will I face the morning at last
God help me please, have I gone mad

I felt the wind on my back, I saw the knife in her hand
That's when I knew I had to run away

Daughter of darkness, now I see who you are
Daughter of darkness, an evil face in the crowd
Daughter of darkness, I know who you are
Daughter of darkness, let me come inside

God help me, save me, take me away

So now I live in fear of a dream
The wait feels like a thousand years
When I face my one last cold black night
I travel roads to the ends of the world
My future, my past, folded and furled
The light of her eyes will lead me back home

I felt the wind on my back, I saw the knife in her hand
That's when I knew I had to run away

Daughter of darkness, now I see who you are
Daughter of darkness, an evil face in the crowd
Daughter of darkness, I know who you are
Daughter of darkness, let me come inside
Let me come inside, take me away

God help me, save me, take me away

08. When Blood And Steel Collide

We come with swords of fire brandishing the night
The sacred oath we keep will never be defied
All those within our path cower and step aside

We are the ones chosen to fight
And we hold fate within our hands
Only the strong with will to survive
Are destined to save this sacred land

The light that shines before me in my eyes
Could be the truth we've been seeking all this time
Stand up and fight for the future
On every mountain side
We'll move the heavens and the Earth stopping time
When blood and steel collide
When blood and steel collide

You shook the hand of evil one too many times
You stood as non-believers looking from my eyes
And now we will no heed your sad pathetic cries

We are the ones chosen to fight
And we hold fate within our hands
Only the strong with will to survive
Are destined to save this sacred land

The light that shines before me in my eves
Could he the truth we've been seeking all this time
Stand up and fight for the future
On every mountain side
We'll move the heavens and the Earth stopping time
When blood and steel collide
When blood and steel collide

Behold, the site - No mercy, kill to survive

A thousand days of torture and sacrifice
The chosen fate are the perils of those who survive
We all are slaves to the masters with power and might
Power and might

We are the ones chosen to fight
And we hold fate within our hands
Only the strong with will to survive
Are destined to save this sacred land

The light that shines before me in my eves
Could he the truth were been seeking all this time
Stand up and fight for the future
On every mountain side
We'll move the heavens and the Earth stopping time
When blood and steel collide
When blood and steel collide

09. On The Wings Of The Night

The still moon is calling out your name
All of the stars are ablaze
Through oceans of time I will find you
In the mist through the dark night of haze

On the wings of the night I will come to you at last
On the wings of the night I will taste your love at last

Betrayal and loss have haunted me
Condemned to drift endlessly
Floating through darkness eternally
With a kiss I can set you free

On the wings of the night
I will come to you at last
On the wings of the night
I will taste your love at last

Lurking in the shadows I'm a ruler of the night
Easily shape shifting and hiding from the light
And in the end what I want will be
Your soul as mine for eternity

So there's no time for sad goodbyes
Tonight's the night and you must ride
On the wings of the night

Leave your mortal life behind you
Come with me and you will find

The pleasures of life that await you
When you fly on the wings of the night

On the wings of the night
I will come to you at last
On the wings of the night
I will taste your love at last

10. Never Again

Vengeance is mine says the Lord
This time I say it too
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Turn the other cheek they say
It's better to walk away
And leave this night, unholy night

Never again can we be so blind
We cannot believe their lies
Never again when the truth is so clear
We cannot live in fear
Never again, never again

From father to son they say
Hate will make its way
From shore to shore the call will sound
All that is false must die
To make things right this time
How can we be so blind

Never again can we be so blind
We cannot believe their lies
Never again when the truth is so clear
We cannot live in fear
Never again, never again

Never again can we be so blind
We cannot believe their lies
Never again with the truth is so clear
We cannot live in fear

We are the mirror
You are the light reflecting the future
And for the truth we will fight

Vengeance is mine says the Lord
This time I say it too
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Turn the other cheek they say
It's better to walk away
And leave this night, unholy night

Never again can we be so blind
We cannot believe their lies
Never again when the truth is so clear
We cannot live in fear
Never again
