Tracks



01. Avalon

Walking through the mists again
Avalon, seem caught forever
I don't know where I belong
Holding on and waiting

Eternity, a lonely grave
From the haze of time I'm calling
Is our journey to begin
Or am I only dreaming

In a land far away from here
Like a star that's blinding
Heaven's magic silently appeared
And I'm leaving for the dawn

Is it true that i must sleep
Forevermore, just watching changes
Heaven knows the story is not over
And the knights will gather

Out in the cold, so long forgotten
Leaving the past behind
So timeless we're here, and we will reappear
To find god

From the land of make-believe
Comes the faith of the unbeliever
And the eyes of god have turned away
From Avalon
And belief is the holy grail
Of the fool and the mass deceiver
Turning good into evil deeds
So rise from Avalon

Now has come the point of no return
And I'm feeling fire, fill my veins
The torches starts to burn
And the quest is starting

It's up to you to be forgotten
Saddle the horses now
The mindless shall fear when we all reappear
To rise up

From the land of make-believe
Comes the faith of the unbeliever
And the eyes of god have turned away
From Avalon
And belief is the holy grail
Of the fool and the mass deceiver
Turning good into evil deeds
So rise from Avalon

13 knights to reappear
Merlin can you, can you hear
Can you see the past and the tomorrow

Tell me can we now succeed
Find the grail and turn the key
Find a better future for us all

Ride on out and make the world
Brighter than a shiny pearl
For all

Heaven knows I wait for thee
Give my love eternally
I'm calling, calling for you on an island in the sun,
Only wait for things to come
Never think about tomorrow
Building castles in the sand,
Wait for you to take my hand
Without fear and without sorrow

From the land of make-believe
Comes the faith of the unbeliever
And the eyes of god have turned away
From Avalon
And belief is the holy grail
Of the fool and the mass deceiver
Turning good into evil deeds
So rise from Avalon

In the morning sun
Our journey has begun
Don't close your eyes and turn away

Put and end to all the grief
To the pain from the make-believe
Don't close your eyes and turn away

In the land of the unbeliever
Tear the mask of the mass deceiver
Don't close your eyes and turn away

In the rays of the morning sun
Our journey has begun
Don't close your eyes and turn away

02. Hellbent

A merciless tempest
A flash underground
Sky ripped to pieces
The flames all around
Revolts on the sidewalks
Screams in the dark
The world sinks in chaos
The world falls apart

I'm moving on with business
Like any other day
And nothing ever stops me
I've found my sanctuary

A place to face the lonely race
With madness all around
We've found a way to get out of the game
Sharing the thing that we've found

Hellbent for metal
That's what we are
Hellbent for metal
Straight from the heart

Infernal destruction
I see the downfall
The eve of extinction
I don't care at all

The air that I breathe
Purified by the sound
The powers within make my world go around

I really can't be bothered
Like any other day
'Cause I have got my music
I've found my sanctuary

A place to face the lonely race
With madness all around
We are the same
We're not playing the game
Together we're screaming out loud

Hellbent for metal
That's what we are
Hellbent for metal
Straight from the heart

With all my love
Down to the core
A metal heart
I'm living for

03. Pale Rider

I ride on down down the heavy road
I´m sick and tired and my head explodes

I listen to the wind and my whip shall crack
I´m riding down the road like a razorback
I´m on this lonely trail forever

Burn motherfucker time to feel the flame
Listen to the whiplash crack your brain
I am the rider in the darkness
Coming for you pale rider pale rider

I spend my life with collecting souls
I get my dime in the sick man hall

I circle ´round the world like a satellite
Killing prone demons bound to fight I´ll ride forever

Burn motherfucker time to feel the flame
Listen to the whiplash crack your brain
I am the rider in the darkness
Cursed for eternity fulfill my destiny
To be a rider in the darkness pale rider

Lost in a deal with a demon to feel
That a deal with a demon is never for real
There´s always a catch there´s always a snatch
And your soul you will sell
To the devil himself aah whoa

Burn motherfucker feel the flame
Listen to the whiplash crack your brain
Here comes the rider in the darkness
Cursed for eternity fulfill my destiny
Here comes the rider in the darkness
I´m comin´ for you pale rider
I´m comin´ for you pale rider
I´m comin´ for you comin´ for you
I´m comin´ for you I´m comin´ for you

04. Born To Fly

I'm your master, I'm your fate
Choice is yours, so don't be late
I'm gonna take you for a ride

Wheels are turning much too fast
Will we die to live at last
I'm gonna salve your soul tonight

Never give up
Never give in
Never get down
Nevertheless
You're gonna be free
When you're coming up with me

Flying high like an eagle
Touching rainbows in the sky
Flying high like an eagle in the sky
Born to fly

I'm a darkness, I'm a light
I'm a force that burns inside
I'm gonna set you free tonight

Never give up
Never give in
Never get down
Nevertheless
You're gonna be free
When you're coming up with me

Flying high like an eagle
Touching rainbows in the sky
Flying high like an eagle in the sky
Born to fly

Never give up
Never give in,
Never get down
Nevertheless
you're gonna be free
when you're coming up with me

Flying high like an eagle
Touching rainbows in the sky
Flying high like an eagle in the sky
We're home free

Flying high like an eagle
Touching rainbows in the sky
Flying high like an eagle in the sky
Born to fly

05. Master Of Confusion

You try to call me, I'm not at home
My mobile's off, can't leave a message
And now you're waiting, still I won't show
You won't believe what happened to me

And now I'm running like the wind
But I won't have much time, I'm sorry once again
No matter where I'm going or anywhere I roam
I am the master of confusion
Maybe you'll see me coming or maybe I just don't
I am the master of confusion

The label's calling, boys are you done?
The deadline's past, time to deliver
I am so sorry, we're running late
Some unexpected ghost in the machinery

Again I'm running like the wind
Now all the made up plans are running out of hand
No matter where I'm going or anywhere I roam
I am the master of confusion
Maybe you'll see me coming or maybe I just don't
I am the master of confusion

I'm chaos, I'm disaster, I am pain, sweet disorder, anarchy, go insane

Whenever I am closing in, your peaceful life goes in the bin
Let chaos begin
No matter where we're going or anywhere we roam
We are the masters of confusion
We'll take your life apart and we don't give a damn
We are the masters of...

No matter where we're going or anywhere we roam
We are the masters of confusion
We're like an open fire, a raging thunderstorm
We are the masters of confusion
Masters of confusion
Masters of confusion
Masters of confusion
Masters of confusion
Masters of confusion
Masters of, masters of, masters of confusion

06. Empire Of The Undead

Running through the cold night, fever in my mind
Shadows in the haze are coming from behind
Tonight I'm gonna meet them 'cause tonight I wanna die
I wanna be an undead until the end of time
Living like the others ain't my will
Got only one desire, I wanna get my fill

Running, screaming, I'm burning for more

Empire of the undead
Empire of the undead
Empire of the undead
Empire of the undead

Something right behind me is killing all the light
It feels so good, it makes me warm, it fills me with delight
It leads me to the chapel where I will embrace the love
The ceremony is prepared, the heavens cry above
Here I'm coming, out of my way
All eternal, here to stay

Demon, vampire, wizard,
We are....

Empire of the undead
Empire of the undead
Empire of the undead
Empire of the undead

The undead are coming, I'm on their side
The undead are coming, in the night
No place in hell for me and you
So better be an undead, too

The undead are coming, we're on our way
The undead are coming, we're here to stay
The realm of shadows don't need no right
Come to the undead, escape from the light

Running through the cold night, fever in my mind
Shadows in the haze are coming from behind
Tonight I'm gonna meet them 'cause tonight I wanna die
I wanna be an undead until the end of time

Living like the others ain't my fuckin' will
Got only one desire, I wanna get my fill

Screaming, burning, undying,
We are....

Empire of the undead
Empire of the undead
Empire of the undead
You wanna get your fill, you better talk to hell

Empire of the undead
Empire of the undead
Empire of the undead
Empire of the undead

Undead

07. Time For Deliverance

Angels surrounding my soul
Spread wings out of control
One life only one soul
Angels might come every day
Angels might come out to play
And if you can feel you will hear them say

That it´s time for deliverance to save what we are
Time for a future with love deep in our hearts
When there´s no way out
From the cold and the dark
It´s time for deliverance for us all

Lost in a hell of illusions and darkness we lay
Forgotten in stories and tales of an ancient array
But still there is hope and someone to pray

And it´s time for deliverance to save what we are
Time for a future with love deep in our hearts
When there´s no way out
From the cold and the dark
It´s time for deliverance for us all

We cannot foresee what will be in the future years
And no one might come to be saving our souls
Still there´s a reason to stand up and fight fight fight
For a tomorrow in the rays of the light

It´s time for deliverance to save our future
It´s time to unbreak the chains
And love deep from our hearts
Yes we still got a dream to follow
In the cold and the dark
Yes it´s time for deliverance for us all
It´s time for deliverance for us all
It´s time for deliverance for us all oh oh oh oh

08. Demonseed

I'm the monster deep inside your head
I am a stranger in the dark
I am the beast that lives under your bed
I've come to tear your soul apart

I shout at the world
I've come to take you down to the dust

Fight, you'll never win
The demon lives within
Your very soul and deep inside your heart
Your pain is what I need
The suffering will feed
Demonseed

I am the ruler of your darkest dreams
I'll take you down into the fire
And I'll be here or all eternity
I am the spirit rising higher

I thrive on every sinner
I've come to you down into the dust

Fight, you'll never win
The demon lives within
Your very soul and deep inside your heart
Your pain is what I need
The suffering will feed
Demonseed

When the demonsoul is crawling out
And the sinner calls my name
See my mind just like an open book
With the words all rearranged

Smoldering inside of me
Growing flame from deep within
Blackened smoke that's wafting high
Bringing darkness, eating light

Oh, where do we go
Oh, where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go from here

I thrive on all the sinning
And I was here from the beginning
And I make you bleed and crawl
I'm the end and your downfall

Fight, you'll never win
The demon lives within
Your very soul and deep inside your heart
Your pain is what I need
The suffering will feed
Demonseed

Demonseed

09. Seven

They stare at you with an evil eye
Under the cover of a winning smile
Ruthless and rotten the core

Immaculate on the outer shell
They make you jump in the wishing well
They leave you screaming back for more

Down in their temple they're feeding the fir
Watch it grows into a storm

Devil eyes and Seven snakes
Seven deadly sins await
Come on down and see the writing on the wall
Seven sinners in the hall
Seven demons heed the call
Come on down and see the writing on the wall

You'll never know what is going on
You only wait for the day to come
Fortune knocking at your door

And all that matters is to pay the bill
While other men think of how to fill
Their money bin a little more

Eyes of the snake will be watching the fire
Growing right into a storm

Devil eyes and Seven snakes
Seven deadly sins await
Come on down and see the writing on the wall
Seven sinners in the hall
Seven demons heed the call
Come on down and see the writing on the wall

Can you believe it's true
God is our only salvation
Now they are calling you
Taking you into the eye of the storm

And now you stand in awe and wonder
Why this is happening to you
You're not alone, they're always watching
And now truth is hitting you

Before you all will go to heaven
Oh there is something you must know
All that you've done won't be forgiven
From those who after you will show

Prepare the eyes for watching wonders
Of jesus and his holy crew
And then the snake will come to bite you
You never had a chance you fool

Devil eyes and Seven snakes
Seven deadly sins await
Come on down and see the writing on the wall
Seven sinners in the hall
Seven demons heed the call
Come on down and see the writing on the wall

Writing on the wall
Devil eyes, Seven snakes
And it goes on...

10. I Will Return

I'll be back

I know that you know
That they'll never care
About the spirit of our freedom
In a world that's meant to share

And you know that I know
It's time for rebirth
When it's cold and full of darkness
And the angels left the earth

Through the eyes of time you'll see
All the pain and tragedy
Never lose the will to be,
Deep inside of you

I - I will return
From the light in the heavens
When man must learn
Now- it's time to turn
So bright and enlightning
The skies will burn
When I return

I stand alone here
I wait for a sign
To get a glimpse beyond illusion
Let the light of wisdom shine
Searching for answers
My heart's full of fear
Will I face another rainbow
When the dark skies disappear

I give you shelter from the rain
A taste of freedom from the pain
Never lose the will to live -now!

I - I will return
With thunder and lightning
When all man must learn
Crucified - I never died
In times of evil and madness
The skies will burn
When I return

Hope will wipe away the tears
Break the spell of ancient fears
Go and live for better days now!

I - I will return
With thunder and lightening
Now all man must learn
Crucified - I've never died
In times of evil and madness
The skies will burn
When I return
The skies will burn

11. Built A World

I try don´t know if I will make it
When we when we meet again
No way time will tell the answer
So I walk behind the lines to find another way

Built a world of my own it´s a place I belong
It´s a world of my own makin´
There´s no reason to hide
There´s no reason to fight
And my world is always real

From where I stand I look around
I see the world with my eyes
How could I ever feel like you even if I tried
In the eyes of the world I´m a stranger
And they say that I´m one of the lost
I am tryin´ to fulfill my own way my own will
But they wouldn´t let me go

Built a world of my own it´s a place I belong
It´s a world of my own makin´
There´s no reason to hide
There´s no reason to fight
And my world is always real
Built a world of my own
It´s my world it´s always real

Built a world of my own it´s a place I belong
It´s a world of my own makin´
There´s no reason to hide
There´s no reason to fight
And my world is always real

Built a world of my own
It´s a world of my own makin´
Built a world of my own
And my world is always real
