01. In Our Hands

The Spark of Deity ignites in our hands
Down in the land of sighs
This superficial life keeps going on
Will it ever end? (Will it ever end?)
My will, my testament
Is to destroy the land
Let terror reign
Spoke the moribund
(When his day had come)

But there's a legend
Ablaze the sky will descend
And fire will rain
So all who wear a soulless face
will be released from the haze

It's five strokes of fate
Of pain and loss and misery
That's the number of the stones that I will break
I will bring justice to the world
Once and for all
You all go with me when I die

I spent my life protecting you
You just brought me agony
No, I can't take it anymore
A nation's sought to spoil my life
Why now you all will die

The Spark of Deity ignites in our hands
It's burning from within to brighten up the land
Defeat the twilight so that day and night revive
Can you feel the sunrise in your heart?

But as they carry out the task
It's the keeper's son
Who can embrace the Spark
His will is strong and he is trying to take
His dead father's place
Now it's up to him

Caught up in a nightmare
His past is falling in oblivion
Oh, it's drowning in the fog
So, it's a race against the time
Restore the light divine
The Spark of Deity ignites in our hands?
(I don't regret to be the slayer of my kind)

This is the last chance
We face the razor's edge now
Despite all hopelessness
The bearer will not slow down
Reverse the horror of the king's revenge

Still he's marching on and on
To reignite the flames
Stumbling through a field of ghosts
Until the stones
Bring day and night again

There's no shelter, no encouragement
It's a burden and he's out there all alone
There's no shelter
There is no choice but going on
Or all the world will end
(that's my testament)

But there's a legend
Ablaze the sky will descend
And fire will rain
So all who wear a soulless face
Restart the human race
The Spark of Deity ignites in our hands?

02. With Empty Eyes

I don't feel sorrow any longer
In fact I cannot feel the slightest thing
But I bring destruction, I bring murder
There's purest evil at the core
It will make you crawl

Don't you be terrified
There's shelter some place
That we left behind

Your race is what you call mankind
They are insane and weak so they will die
My race is what we call one mind
We are the strong and we strive

In my dreams I still hear their cries
Patiently they stare with empty eyes
Don't come close, we are untouchable
But can we survive another morrow
And will the phoners fall?

Read me like a book
Open wide and tear a page
Use me like a tool
I guess we are well understood
Life will never be the same
Adherence to the rule

There is music at your nightly charge
But your magic's gone
And we blow you apart

In my dreams I still hear their cries?
All is lost if I never embrace him again
Lead him out of the darkness

Where are you now?
Just wait and see
That I did everything to set you free
Oh, can you hear me now, my son?

Believe me
There will be a way to end it all
In my dreams I still hear their cries?

03. Inside The Circle

I have a special gift for you
A life of power, owned by few
For the good side you will strive
But in the end you'll fight the light

Crawling through your veins
There is Jedi blood
It's your skill to see the future
Like one sees the past
Reckless and self-assured
There is so much you must learn
Won't you come and take the course
Apprentice of the Force?

Inside the circle, yet all alone
Only grief as you leave your mother behind
Inside the circle, you're on your own
Bound to the prophecy

And as the slave becomes the padawan
A black cloud of nightmares
Keeps torturing his heart
I swear I will not fail
Rage to those who cross my way
And so he screamed out at the stars
Vengeance is mine

Inside the circle, yet all alone
Only grief as a friend and father has died
Inside the circle, you're on your own
Bit makes you wise
Only through me she will survive
Come now, Vader, walk with me

Inside the circle, yet all alone
Now she's gone
And he's slowly drifting away
Inside the circle, you're on your own
Bound to the prophecy

Inside the circle, yet all alone
All is lost
And he's slowly drifting away
Inside the circle, you're on your own
Bound to the prophecy

05. Race The Seas

In this maze of green and white
In a forest dark and wild
In have been before or will I be?
I lost my sense of time

Three years I roamed in hell alone
I felt like dying but I can't
Suddenly there is a distant voice from outside
So close the book again
And risk a flash of light

I hace to race the seas to regain my honor
To be worthy of loving you, my bride
I wonder is there a place left on earth
Or is it gone since I've turned the key?
Only your picture will keep me sane

I can see the prints of your feet on the beach
But at every spot
They are leading away from me
And I fear that with a splashing wave
They are drawn back to the sea
I have to race the seas?

And then the tide will rise again
But you're out of sight
So for a while I'll rest here by the shore
Until my future will recur

Now you are stuck under the same old star
And there is no way out, believe me
I have tried them all
So sit down, let's have that whiskey without jar
It seems like yesterday
That I've seen your final fate

There's a trap somewhere around
Better watch your step
Don't be brave just let her down
You will drown
And when the lightning strikes you and you die
My precognitions fade
And I see you in another life

I have to race the seas?
And then the tide will rise again?

06. Come Hell Or High Water

I don't want to hear your stupid song
About the fisherman
Who sailed towards his ruin
For the one he loved
Cut that crap!

Welcome to the real world
Of sweat and blood and beer
Keep living in your shiny fairytale

I don't want to hear your fucking song
About the sailor's wife
Who drowned herself in grief
As well as in the ocean

In your stories we are free
Endless skies above an endless spree
But if you ever came with me
I'd show you freedom at the raging sea

We are the sons of the darkness
No, we don't care for deliverance
There's no Fiddler's Green
We have ransacked and murdered
And raped in between
And I tell you now
There is nothing more
Than a cold and lonesome grave offshore

We shall be fighting side by side
And we will never hide
If you cross one of us
We strike back with the whole damn crew

Our ships may sink right to the ground
But we will never drown
We will float down below
And stab you in the back, my friend

I don't wear no feathered hat
I have both my eyes
But no wooden leg
The saber is not mine, but I won't regret
To punch you in the face
With my bare fist instead

We are the sons of the darkness?

Navigate me with the light of the stars
Don't you let me fall apart
Hoist the sails
They're calling for me
Come hell or high water
The wind and the sea

Whatever you may think of me
What made me be this way
The truth is it's a whole lifetime
Of solitude and pain

I lost my home, I lost my love
In sorrow I did roam
Well, actually my wife's a whore
She cursed me out of town

We are the sons of darkness
And we won't turn away
We're sailing miles and miles
To prey on your silver and your life

We are the sons of the darkness?

07. Homecoming

Standing on a sunlit deck
His quest is done, his vow fulfilled
Now there is nothing left to trouble his mind
Still he is shaking
He's getting back to where his life
Once was awakened
Grief and doubt will dissolve
In the air and now

I see them running down the peer
Towards their father
For he shall never leave
His loved ones ever after

Hear me now, I will be there
Eleven years from now, I swear

I'm heading home
All these year's I've been wrong
I reached for the stars losing sight of the sun
But now that the final journey's almost done
My sorrows are washed away
And drowned in the bliss of my homecoming

Wearing the charm from his true love
(You will never be alone)
Bonded they are by the silver moon
That shines among the stars
Set the course
Leave yearning far behind us
May God have taken care of those I left behind

Oh Lord, please guide me to find them alive
I'd give me soul, make any sacrifice

Hear me now?
I'm heading home?

He is surely hasting
Time he ain't wasting
Speaks the mother to comfort her child
Who dreams beyond horizon far

Hear me now?
I'm heading home?

08. Moana's Return

Stories tell of magic realms
That are buried underground
Once upon a time
There was a girl wearing the crown
Although she lived in bliss and love
There was a longing for the earth above
For daylight and stars

And so she climbed up high
To pass the secret gate
Blinded by sunlight her memories fade
And noone has ever since seen her again
They say her spirit survived

This is the story of Moana's return

Where am I now?
Why did you lead me here?
Those rotten walls
They scare me, they make me feel
That I've been here for a long, long time
But who is the guard of this hidden shrine?

I am the pan, your servant, your friend
I am as old as the trees and the wind
And I know you will
Remember your name
Then I shall take you afar

So carry me down

This is the story of Moana's return
(To) where faries still live
And the moon never dies
Where thrones in golden light are waiting
This is the tale of her rise and her fall

In the shelter of comforting night
You shall be questioned
Till your spirit revives
And I'll be there to guide you through
What are you waiting for, girl?
Just get it done

One: do recover the key from the toad
Two: get the deggar, but don't touch the fruit
And three: spill the blood of a poor little boy

So carry me down

This is the story of Moana's return?

The distance is fading
The breathing gets low
(And she falls)
Nobody else in this place
But her and the faun

This is the story of Moana's return
(To) where faries still live
And the moon never dies
Where thrones in golden light are waiting
This is the tale
Remember the tale
This is the tale
Of her rise and her fall

09. The March Of The Golems

Wake up and follow me
Your rise is the start of my mastery
Unshaped, a scorn of man
Four thousand soldiers are at my command

Right from the shadow
Comes the flaming eyes
Their faces lifeless and vacant they stand
These are the warriors of an ancient time
Made of stone and clay
They will smash down the land

So they march till the end of all time
Noone can ever stop them by steel or fire
You disbelievers, bow to me
I'm forcing the town to its knees
And claim what has always been mine

The earth is shaking
Forsaken lands we will leave
As we walk to the scene
They were mistaken
For every selfpleasing laugh
They'll be torn apart

I have the power
For I wear the lordship's ring
These eyes, the tyrant's eyes
A crucial part of his fake regime

I have the power
For I wear the lordship's sword
My plan, a perfect plan
Not yet, but soon the throne is mine
So they march till the end of all time?

And they scream, and they cry
For all their houses are stamped to dust
Those woods grow nevermore
But if they beg, if they pray
I shall be mercyful and spare their lives
'Cause I'm a noble man

10. Once Again

So now the path is clear
He will set out for the borders
His gaze is on the Spark
For the world is on his shoulders

Now it's your turn, my son
To keep the flame from dying down again
I taught you all I know
You're the bearer of all hope

How can he find his way?
Strenght is there but will it stay?
Where are the ancient stones?
In silence he carries on

Once again it is in our hands
Behold the light, the Spark of Deity
We were sent all your hopes to defend
Throughout the nation we will set you free

And so he's moving on
To carry out the order
Still trying desperately
To keep hold of his memory

Raise your head, mourning's done
There's still flicker in the sun
But noone will lead you
From now on you're alone

How can he find his way?
Once again it is in our hands?

Forever lost are the tales of yore
Suddenly, they'll be no more
Songs of sadness, songs of of joy
They will trail of in the void
Drawings of a world so fine
They will grey out over time
All we know is what we are
We can only trust you

Once again it is in our hands?
