Born in the golden age
Chosen by the gods to be the one
Hero of the heroes
Guardian and protector of man
Man and the universe

But in the tales of the bold it has been said
He will demise to the realm of the dead
And on that very day the kingdom will fall
Lost in the seas forevermore

And when the last - last hero will die
Tears of the gods will be falling from the skies
Forevermore he shall rest in peace
Until the day he will return
Like it's been said
Fulfilling the prophecy
He'll rise up from the dead

Sheer invincible
Superior but yet of flesh and blood
Altered and enhanced
He stood the test of time
To safeguard the world
Man and the universe

But in the prophecy of yore it's been foretold
Treason shall kill the last one of the bold
Lost and forgotten, his fire will burn
Until the day he shall return

And when the last - last hero will die
Tears of the gods will be falling from the skies
Forevermore he shall rest in peace
Until the day he will return
Like it's been said
Fulfilling the prophecy
He'll rise up from the dead

[Solo Piesel / Piet]

But in the tales of the bold it has been said
He will return from the realm of the dead
Until that very day the fire will burn
Until the day of his return

And when the last - last hero will die
Tears of the gods will be falling from the skies
Forevermore he shall rest in peace
Until the day he will return
Like it's been said
Fulfilling the prophecy
He'll rise up from the dead

She used to be a viper
An expert of the kill
A deadly assassin
Of outstanding skills
Master of the sword
Champion of the fight
Beware - here comes the bride

Angry and wild
Screaming out for vengeance
Driven by the fire of revenge
Severing heads
In the blink of an eye
Taking back her pride

Without a warning
The angel appears
Taking her right
Without a warning
Beware of the bride
Deadly vipers

Bang bang her baby
Shot her straight through the head
She stayed alive
Refusing to be dead
And now she's back
From the years in the night
Beware - here comes the bride

Eye for an eye
Merciless and cold
She serves the meal at its best
Hunting down the vipers
One by one
She will not rest

Without a warning
The angel appears
Taking her right
Without a warning
Beware of the bride

[Solo Piesel / Piet]

Out in the desert
He kissed her goodbye
Bleeding and sentenced to die
Shot through the head
But barely alive
The bride did survive

Angry and wild
Screaming out for vengeance
Pleasing her hunger for revenge
They took it all
And now they're gonna pay
And she's on her way

Without a warning
The angel appears
Taking her right
Without a warning
Beware of the bride

Thunderous
Like a fire drake in the night
I am returning, ready to fight
Furious
I'll be riding again on the wind
To bring deliverance and repent

Lost in oblivion
I stood the test of time
I am the prophecy
This is my destiny
Vengeance will be mine

From far beyond - far beyond
Beyond the universe
I will rise again
From far beyond the time
I'll bring deliverance
Fate is calling again
For the good of man

Thunderbolt - battle star
Titan of steel
Come with me
Let's ride again in unity

Man and machine
Together as one
We are the prophecy
This is our destiny
And our time has come

From far beyond - far beyond
Beyond the universe
I will rise again
From far beyond the time
I'll bring deliverance
Fate is calling again

Lost in infinity
Buried in steel
Dead and yet alive
Able to feel
But in my very mind
The spark of life has survived

[Solo Piet]

Out in the everlasting fires of creation
I saw the future - I saw the past
And from the dust and the ashes of demise
I saw the new world dawning
I saw the rise

Savior machine, time has come
Future and past will be one
And for the glory of the golden days
I'll carry on and do what must be done
And though my heart is bleeding in pain
I'll taken the burdens once again

Hero arise
To save the universe
Sworn to protect and to serve
And for the freedom
And for the world
Savior machine, ride with me
Fate is calling us again
For the good of man

Who do you think you are
To tell us what to do
What makes us minor to you
We don't need advice
We don't need no smartass talking
Look at yourself and keep on walking

Leave me alone
With all your words of wisdom
For once and all
For once and all time
This is the bottom line

Take your life
Live it your way
Forge it in the amber
Of a burning heart
Living
For tomorrow
Taking on the future
With a burning heart

Blinded by conformity
Obedience and rules
Now who are you to call us fools
We won't adapt
We are different, we're unique
And your egomania
Makes me goddamn sick

Leave me alone
I'm gonna make it on my own
For once and all
For once and all time
Here is my bottom line

Take your life
Live it your way
Forge it in the amber
Of a burning heart
Living
For tomorrow
Taking on the future
With a burning heart

[Solo Piet]

We don't need your guiding star
No need to tell us who we are
Leave us alone
For once and for all time
And once again
Here comes the bottom line

Take your life
Live it your way
Forge it in the amber
Of a burning heart
Living
For tomorrow
Taking on the future
With a burning heart

Live - for tomorrow
Live it your way
A burning heart
Live - for tomorrow
Taking on the future
With a burning heart and soul
A burning heart and soul

Far up in the mountains
Above the world end's rim
Something has arisen
Deadly and grim
Ancient evil is on the approach
Taking worlds, leaving nothing behind
Judgement Day is drawing near for humankind

One of a million, one to be bound
To stand the line, holding the ground
Kiss me goodbye, I'm heading straight for Hell
But I won't say farewell

Thunder from the mountains
In the pale light of the moon
Here I'm standing all alone
In the prelude of doom
A firestorm burns the world
The land is bleeding and dies
And I am sending out
A prayer to the skies

Onwards I am riding
Staight into the storm
Blood will be shed
And legends will be born
The clock is striking the darkest hour
A brutal force is crossing the bounds
Turning the land into burial grounds

And though it seems as if yesterday
Is lost and so endlessly far away
There will be a tomorrow
And take my word
I will return from hell
This is no farewell

Thunder from the mountains
In the pale light of the moon
Here I'm standing all alone
In the prelude of doom
A firestorm burns the world
The land is bleeding and dies
And I am sending out
A prayer to the skies

[Solo Piet]

Out on the battlefield
The killing has begun
Lives are taken one by one
Outnumbered, under fire
The blood toll is getting higher
The mission is to stay alive
To keep the promise
And make it back to you

Back to you
To hold you, to kiss you
Love and caress you
And if I'd have to go
Go through hell again
I'd do it all again

Thunder from the mountains
In the pale light of the moon
Here I'm standing all alone
In the prelude of doom
A firestorm burns the world
The land is bleeding and dies
And I am sending out
A prayer to the skies

[Solo Piet]

Thunder from the mountains
Thunder from the mountains
Thunder from the mountains

Here and now you wonder
Looking at the past
Start to realize
Time's running fast
Thinking of the bitterness
Decisions made and chances missed
But here you are
Still standing strong

Locked up in adaption
Like a tiger in the cage
Tainted by an anger
Tangled up
Your life is in need to be purged

And the battle rages on
Iron warrior
Keep on standing strong
And the battle rages on
And when you're back against the wall
Never surrender
Stand up and fight them all

The struggle for survival
You're sick of all those goddamned days
Stumbling like a blind man through the maze

Routine and conformity
Have taken on control
Regain your independence
Drag yourself - drag yourself out of the hole

And the battle rages on
Iron warrior
Keep on standing strong
And the battle rages on
And when you're back against the wall
Never surrender
Stand up, fight them all

[Solo Piesel]

Routine and conformity
Have put you in that hole
Time to free the tiger
Release yourself
Time to be back in control

And the battle rages on
Iron warrior
Keep on standing strong
And the battle rages on
And when you're back against the wall
Never surrender
Stand up and fight them all

And the battle rages on
Iron warrior
Keep on standing strong
And the battle rages on
And when you're back against the wall
Never surrender
Stand up and fight them all
Fight them all

Listen to the story
Of the dragon and the knight
The quest for the ancient
The last one of his kind
Hidden in the mountains
Across the seven seas
In oblivion

Bold and defiant
The brave knight did embark
On to the realm of fire
Gleaming in the dark
A seeker of the knowledge
The power and the might
Of the ancient one

To end the tyranny
The killing and oppression
He has been carrying the scent
To take his fire
On to the tyrant's wicked lair
To set his people free
And gain the final victory

Dragon King - Born at the outset of the time
Dragon King - In the amber of the world
Dragon King - Ruler of the fire
Spread your wings - Spread your wings and ride up to the skies

Deep below the ever rocks
As the traditions told
He found the King sleeping in the cold
He spoke the words of magic
To make the wyvern rise
And then he opened his eyes

On wings of fire
They rode atop the world
Between the heaven and the seas
And in that very night
His mind was set at ease
For a moment
A moment in time

Dragon King - Born at the outset of the time
Dragon King - In the amber of the world
Dragon King - Ruler of the fire
Spread your wings - Spread your wings and fly away

[Solo Piesel]

Just like a thunderbolt
Descending on the foe
He spit his fire on the plains
And as the tyrant
Had perished in the flames
He spread his wings again
To vanish in eternity

Dragon King - Born at the outset of the time
Dragon King - In the amber of the world
Dragon King - Ruler of the fire
Spread your wings - Spread your wings and ride up to the skies

Dragon King
Dragon King - Ruler of the fire
Dragon King - Spread your mighty wings and fly away
Spread your wings and ride up to the skies

Dragon King - Dragon King
Dragon King ascend... forevermore!

Break your happy home
Learn to sing alone
To the music, to the music
Clap your hands and shake
On a summer's day
To the music, to the music

Contemplating
Investigating the mind
Strange dimensions
To which I've been blind
Shifting realities
Time has no meaning
A seeker of knowledge
The source of all things

Visions of darkness
Stroke me like a flash in the night
I have to leave the temple and fight

Into the eye - into the eye of the firestorm
Into the darkness, into unknown
Under attack - under siege
And when the day is born
I'm diving into the storm
Firestorm

On my journey through space and time
I saw the evil before
It came from far beyond the abyss
And now it's coming ashore

Civilizations of the galaxy
You must alliege in unity

Into the eye - into the eye of the firestorm
Into the darkness, into unknown
Under attack - under siege
And when the day is born
I'm diving into the firestorm

[Solo Piet]

Burning worlds and fire from the skies
But our hope is the last - the last thing to die

Into the eye - into the eye of the firestorm
Into the darkness, into unknown
Under attack - under siege
And when the day is born
I'm diving into the firestorm
Firestorm

Silence
Just the wind and a grave
Sanctuary
Where he can be safe

Safe from the shadow
Devouring his soul
The haunting delusions
When the demon was taking control

Lost inside the realm of darkness
Lost inside the nightmare and the fears
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
When the demon takes the mind

Memories
And a stone with his name
No more tears anymore
But the grief remains

I saw him laughing
I heard him cry
I saw him suffering
Tortured by the pain
I saw him die

Lost inside the realm of darkness
Lost inside the nightmare and the fears
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
When the demon takes...

They say thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
The praise your never-ending love for everyone
God, then tell me - what has been his devilment
To curse him with your punishment
I don't believe in you - how could I...

[Solo Piet]

And though the world has been turning
For those he left behind
The candles are burning forever
He'll stay on our mind

Lost inside the realm of darkness
Lost inside the nightmare and the fears
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
When the demon takes the mind

Lost inside the nightmare and the fears
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
When the demon takes the mind

Lost inside the realm of darkness
Lost inside the nightmare and the fears
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
When the demon takes the mind

Iron fists are pumping
The beat is driving hard
Cutting like a razor
They're riffing down the chords
Sweat is dripping on the floor
In the gleaming light
The beast is breathing fire
Thunder strikes the night

Living for the moment
Living for the day
Don't care for tomorrow
Don't care what they say
Raise your glasses high

And keep that fire burning
Keep the amber hot
Never lose the thunder
Never stop to rock
Raise your fist
And set your spirit free
Heavy metal
Is our chosen way to be

Furious, going wild
Rocking to the beat
Soaking up the energy
The power and the heat

This is the medicine
The one and only cure
No flavours added
It's sheer and pure
So if you're feeling ill
Just take the pill

And keep that fire burning
Keep the amber hot
Never lose the thunder
Never stop to rock
Raise your fist
And set your spirit free
Heavy metal is our deal

[Solo Piesel / Piet]

Out there is a shadow
Lurking in the dark
Creeping up unseen
Straight in your heart
Take heed - when indifference
Is trying to take your soul
Turn on the music
And get back in control

This is the drug
The one and only cure
No flavours added
Sheer and pure
Raise your glasses high

And keep that fire burning - Oh Oh Oh
And keep the amber hot - Oh Oh Oh
No, never lose your thunder - Oh Oh Oh
Come on and raise your fist
Bang your head

And keep that fire burning
Keep the amber hot
Never lose your thunder
Never stop to rock
Raise your fist
And set your spirit free
Shout it out
Loud and proud
Heavy metal
Is our chosen way to be

I saw my children from up in the sky
Bleeding and sentenced to die
Devastation and termination
I've been your angel of death
Watching unmoved
I've been awaiting your final breath

Children forgive me
For I've been so wrong
Fate took revenge
Oh, on all I have done

I've been to Hell
I've seen the fires burning
Oh, I saw Hell
Demons I heard you calling

So many years I've been out there alone
Broken and scared to the bone
Out in the dark
Sorrow and grief possessed my heart

Out of control
In this deadly machine
Innocent victims
Are haunting my dreams

I've been to Hell
I've seen the fires burning
Oh, I saw Hell
Demons I heard you calling

Rage
Agony
Endless pain
I'll never be the same

[Solo Piet]

Cast away
Today
Light years away from home
Blood on my hands
I will redeem
I will repent

No more repugnance between the machine
And my tortured mind
Together we're strong - now we are one
One of a kind

I've been to Hell
I've seen the fires burning
Oh, I saw Hell
Demons I heard you calling
To Hell

To Hell I have been to pay for my sin
But no more I'll burn - I shall return
Demons of darkness
You've been calling me
But I'm clear in my mind now
And I'm on my way and I am free
