(Thou art my shelter, when sorrow calls)
(Thou art my unknown grave where I belong)
(My heart and heaven refrain from song)
(Until I'm guided into thy bright...)

Bloodred lines against my ivory skin
Hear my heart still beating from within

Bridges may burn, heavens might fall down
I will return, I will be homebound
I'll cross the land, the boundless sea to sail towards thee
Shelter of bliss, savior of my soul
You are my world
You are my unknown grave where my heart is home

Slowly sinks the blade into my chest
Lift it up to bury in your hands

With every beat away from thee
I say my rhyme and take my leave...

Bridges may burn, heavens might fall down
I will return, I will be homebound
I'll cross the land, the boundless sea to sail towards thee
Shelter of bliss, savior of my soul
You are my world
You are my unknown grave where my heart is home

[solo]

Hush (thou art my shelter)
Be silent (when sorrow calls)
No tears (thou art my unknown grave)
Nor tempest sighs will do (where I belong)
(My heart and heaven) don't weep
(Refrain from song) don't plead
(Until I'm guided into thy bright) only thy bright eyes

Once I walked with destiny but that was all in vain
Now love does have a name
Lift my beating heart out of its chest
With you it can be laid to rest

[solo]

Bridges may burn, heavens might fall down
I will return, I will be homebound
I'll cross the land, the boundless sea to sail towards thee
Shelter of bliss, savior of my soul
You are my world
You are my unknown grave where my heart is home
Where my heart is home
(Thou art my shelter)
(Thou art my savior)
(Thou art where I belong)

See hypocrisy, in blood-red shade all wisdom raped
They feed their curse with poisoned words
And lead us to their inferno
Fled the angels' creed, their kingdoms rise built upon lies
The deaths we mourn, their lives forlorn
Feel welcome to their freak show

(Oh see the sky turning black everywhere)
Our revolution is here

Follow the secret call and see through the crystal ball
The time for the oath has come, for ending the story
Walk through the open gate, behind you the broken land
Let's all make a final stand - death to the holy

See humanity in golden chains, but full of stains
We walk their path, deceiver's wrath
Selling all our freedom
Break the demons' wave to let us be in unity
In search of mind, all that's behind the universe and its reason

(Oh see the sky turning black everywhere)
Our revolution is here

(Seeking the truth)
(Wisdom shall rule)

Follow the secret call and see through the crystal ball
The time for the oath has come, for ending the story
Walk through the open gate, behind you the broken land
Let's all make a final stand - death to the holy

(Hate ruling, dark ages, swords falling, death rages)
For thousands of years this plague has been ruining us
(Greed killing, truth murdered, no freedom, false order)
Destroying dreams, lives, the truth
We should have learned how to save us all

(Finding the truth)
(Wisdom shall rule)

Finally our spell is cast, now make our freedom last
All of the rivers crossed
We won't be lonely

(Follow the secret call and see through the crystal ball)
I'll follow you, oh crystal ball!
(The time for the oath has come, for ending the story)
For ending the story
(Walk through the open gate, behind you the broken land)
Oh I will walk through the open gate
(Let's all make a final stand - death to the holy)
Death to the holy

(Once, once our time will come)
(We will all be one)
(Carry our flame to heaven)
(Burn forever!)

Lost in heaven I'll be waiting for our time to come
You were saving my decaying forsaken love

I remember how the stars fell from your silky hands
In this autumn night, on frozen battlefields

See me now, still I hold them in my heart so deep
Reaching out to be close to our fantasy

Lost in heaven I'll be waiting for our time to come
You were saving my decaying forsaken love

Let us walk this path to all our secret worlds
Somehow you are the one opening the doors
I will drink forbidden waters from your rose red lips
I will keep the key to let this be more than a memory

Lost in heaven I'll be waiting for our time to come
You were saving my decaying forsaken love
Gone to heaven I'll be staying we don't need to run
You were healing my still bleeding forsaken love

Oh you are light years away (close though distant)
Still I can find you in me (your beauty radiant)

In this story we're the heroes
Turn the page, let the tale unfold

Lost in heaven I'll be waiting for our time to come
You were saving my decaying forsaken love

Lost in heaven I'll be waiting for our time to come (for our time to come)
You were saving my decaying forsaken love
Gone to heaven I'll be staying we don't need to run (we don't need to run)
You were healing my still bleeding forsaken love, forsaken love

(Destined!)
(This is predetermined, if you follow, through!)
(Follow through every byway)
(Follow fate on your journey)
(River deep mountain high)
(Through daylight and darkest nights)

Though my tale starts cold and lonely
The promise that I heard colored my world
To the outline of a greater spectrum
Where chances are revealed fate will be sealed
Walk the path, ford the stream, 'till I reach my dream

This is the moment, my redemption
This is the day that all the stars align
I gain my momentum
Every endeavor, every measure led the way to overcome and say:
I've answered to the... call of destiny

Not a course for the faint hearted
This journey that I'm on demands my all
I will overthrow my tribulations
And value what they're worth let it be heard:
Gain control, self-esteem, 'till I reach my dream

This is the moment, my redemption
This is the day that all the stars align
I gain my momentum
Every endeavor, every measure led the way to overcome and say:
I've answered to the... call of destiny

(Follow through every byway)
(Follow fate on your journey)
(River deep, mountain high)
(Through daylight and darkest nights)

I'll walk the path every stepping stone, oh!
I'll ford the stream! Time to live my dream!

This is the moment, my redemption
This is the day that all the stars align
I gain my momentum
Every endeavor, every measure led the way to overcome and say:
I am here today!

(This is the moment, my redemption)
The moment's now here and mine!
(This is the day that all the stars align)
(I gain my momentum)
(Every endeavor, every measure led the way to overcome and say:)
My fate fulfilled and defined!
(I've answered to the)
Oh... call of destiny
(Call of destiny)

(We are murderers!)
(We are murderers!)
(We are murderers!)
(We are murderers!)

Sign bitter sermons with your name
All the evil to be blamed
Save your soul still wanting more
From this glittering life's store
There is something in your mind
Telling you that it's no crime
As long as we go to confession

(We are murderers!)
(We are, we are, we all)
(We are murderers!)
(We are, we are, we all)

Bleed our sacred gods and weep
Evolution into sheep
Living in euphoric sleep
All the toys we so much need
We are playing in our ground
With a solid fence around
So our eyes can't see the horror

(We are murderers!)
(We are, we are, we all)
(We are murderers!)
(We are, we are, we all)
(We are murderers!)
(We are, we are, we all)
(We are murderers!)
(We are, we are, we all)

We are, we are...
The rulers of a burning world
We are, we are...
The angels drowning deep into its (blood!)

(We are murderers!)
We are, we are
(We are murderers!)
We are, we are
(We are murderers!)
We are, we are
(We are murderers!)
We are, we are

We are, we are
(We are murderers!)
(We are, we are, we all)
We are, we are
(We are murderers!)
(We are, we are, we all)
We are, we are
(We are murderers!)
(We are, we are, we all)

We are, we are
The rulers of a burning world
We are, we are (we are, we are)
The angels drowning deep into it's
We are the ones (we are the ones)
Turning all the led into our gold
There is no chance
No chance of washing all this blood away!

(This blood!)
(This blood!)

(This blood!)

Abide with me or redeem me
Fall ends, winter is nigh
With a gentle voice I'm guided to the void where loneliness roams...

Rename me like a master from upon your bloody throne
I'll go forth here in silence and abandon my home
In the last light of noonday I fell wilted away
Oh mother please come save me from the dark night of the soul

I have come to see you reviled me
Reproved me with a sigh

Now from different shores a made-up story's told
Through my tears of yore...

Rename me like a master from upon your bloody throne
I'll go forth here in silence and abandon my home
In the last light of noonday I fell wilted away
Oh mother please come save me from the dark night of the soul, oh...

Rename me like a master from upon your bloody throne
I'll go forth here in silence and abandon my home
In the last light of noonday I fell wilted away
Oh mother please come save me from the dark night of the soul, oh...

Oh mother please come save me from this emptiness, lead me away
Oh mother please come save me from this emptiness
Save me now from the dark night of the soul

(See me)
(Heal me)
(Lead me far from this worldly abyss)
(See me)
(Heal me)
(Lead back to the emptiness of home)

One step too far, the story broke
Inflamed no more, the embers cold
Aghast, at last, cast down this smile
The word is out, no need for high-hat lies

Wake from your secret slumber - here comes the tide
There will be no salvation - all is a lie
Find that the world has fooled you and left you torn
When the walls came down heartache was born

Entangled smiles, the haunted kind
How to restore what's left behind
All recomposed by a faltered fate, oh
My tainted soul's a masquerade

Wake from your secret slumber - here comes the tide
There will be no salvation - all is a lie
Find that the world has fooled you and left you torn
When the walls came down heartache was born

(See me)
(Heal me)
(Lead me far from this worldly abyss)

We are the scars from your mind
The most restless of dreams
We are the best that you can be
Return and see: without us you will feel misunderstood!

Wake from your secret slumber - here comes the tide
There will be no salvation - all is a lie
Find that the world has fooled you and left you torn
When the walls came down, oh
When the walls came down heartache was born

(Oh when the sun is down and the moon is up)
(Our story will be told)
(Oh when they call our names and we raise our cups)
(Bound to the ship of doom)

(Oh...)
(We will call you all to gather)
(Oh...)
(We will bring you fantasies)
(Oh...)
(We are born from smoke and fire)
(Oh...)
(We will sail the seven seas)

One, two, three, four - can you hear the cannons roar?
Five, six, seven, eight - it has been too long a wait
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve - now we need to raise some hell
So now sing with us

Oh we have come to your town with our following
To bring you light but we're gone very soon
We are the kings of a world that has never been
Oh we are bound to the ship of doom
(We are born from smoke and fire)
The ship of doom!
(We will sail the seven seas)

One, two, three, four - see the hungry want some more
Five, six, seven, eight - take it now or it's too late
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve - soon it's time to leave this place
We will not forget

Oh we have come to your town with our following
To bring you light but we are gone very soon

We are the kings of a world that has never been
Oh we are bound to the ship of doom

Oh when the sun is down and the moon is up
Our story will be told

(See the lightning)
(Feel the thunder)
(Come and fight)

(Take us further)
(Bring us closer)
(To the glory)

(Take us further)
(Drowning deeper)
(In the story)

Once we're home from the storm and the seas
There is nothing we will regret

(Oh...)
(We will call you all to gather)
(Oh...)
(We will bring you fantasies)
(Oh...)
(We are born from smoke and fire)
(Oh...)
(We will sail the seven seas)
(Oh...)
(We will call you all to gather)
(Oh...)
(We will bring you fantasies)
(Oh...)
(We are born from smoke and fire)
(Oh...)
(We will sail the seven seas)

Oh we have come to your town with our following
To bring you light but we're gone very soon
We are the kings of a world that has never been
Oh we are bound to the ship of doom

When the sun is down and the moon is up
Our story will be told
Oh when they call our names and we raise our cups
We are bound to the ship of doom

(Bound to the ship of doom)
(Bound to the ship of doom)

[instrumental]

Oh... oh... oh... oh...

The tyrant's reborn in many a form
And feasts on our unspoken word
Come break the silence and sing our song
No voice will be left unheard

(Oh... oh... oh... oh...)

Name him and he'll be the face to your blame
A face for your slander and scorn
He'll join his voice to our song and our game
Away with our battle and on with love

(Oh... oh... oh... oh...)

Oh guide me
My eyes to weary to see
My spirit withered
Oh give me strength
Give me the will to go on
Give me a voice...
Oh... oh... oh... oh...

(Oh... oh... oh... oh...
(Oh... oh... oh... oh...)
(Oh... oh... oh... oh...)
(Oh... oh... oh... oh...)

Burn me, take me to the fire
Heaven's hunting ground
Angels dancing in a wolf's lair
Never let me out

(Let the play begin in dusk's embrace)

I know there's something wrong in heaven
I've seen the devil sneak inside
To start the sweet intoxication
Blacken the light

It's like a black mass celebration
To twist the innocent and pure
Oh what a strange fascination
Please give me more

There's no retreat - from me
You will believe - in me
When we will light the pyre

Burn me, take me to the fire
Heaven's hunting ground
Angels dancing in a wolf's lair
Never let me out
Never let me out

Like waking up from a nightmare
It's all just feeling so surreal
But unknown powers force me back where I can be free
(I can finally be free and go)

I've stolen the precious fruit
Forbidden, but so sweet

There's no retreat - for me
I will be lost - with you
Deep in this thunderstorm

Burn me, take me to the fire
Heaven's hunting ground
Angels dancing in a wolf's lair
Never let me out
Never let me out

Oh...

Burn me, take me to the fire
Heaven's hunting ground
Angels dancing in a wolf's lair
Never let me out

Burn me, take me to the fire
Heaven's hunting ground
Angels dancing in a wolf's lair
Never let me out

Call me, drown me in your fire
All I want is you
Hear me say my last prayer
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go

Old as time long foretold
We all know how it ends before it has grown old...
By the hand of the Queen our hearts shall be redeemed

(Out for blood call the bluff on his heart for the queen)
(Takes the lead and foresees stakes decline here tonight)
(Play the game lead the way ready to crush and scorn)
(Blood will fall from her thorns for the queen is reborn)

Here I am to live the tale, the game is in my hands
Now up the curtain goes though you won't seize or understand
The play before your eyes the fury in my mind
The score unwinding

Your house of cards will come tumbling down
Better fold or pass tonight I'm...

Out for blood call the bluff on your heart I the queen
Take the lead and foresee stakes decline 'cause the wild card is mine!
(Play the game lead the way ready to crush and scorn)
The wild card is mine!
(Blood will fall from her thorns for the queen is reborn)

How ignorant is the fool who wears the mask of a king
Who is deaf to the truth screaming from within
Who so denies the world in his self-loving reign
That neither friend nor foe nor mirror could make him sane

King suicide, you won't wither on your throne
Let it be known tonight I am...

Out for blood call the bluff on your heart I the queen
Take the lead and foresee stakes decline 'cause the wild card is...
In the game on her way ready to crush and scorn
Blood will fall from my thorns
Call your bluff for the queen of hearts is reborn
(Out for blood call the bluff on his heart for the queen)
And the wild card is mine!
(Takes the lead and foresees stakes decline here tonight)
(Play the game lead the way ready to crush and scorn)
Oh let the truth be told score before your eyes is unwinding!
(Blood will fall from her thorns for the queen is reborn)
Queen of hearts is reborn!

Old as time and long foretold
We all knew how it would end before it could grow old
By the hand of the Queen our lives and hearts were redeemed
And again the truth prevails or so it seems

[Part 1 - Awakening]

Father, oh father you told me to see
The world with my eyes and not just believe
So I was learning from the old books
The wisdom of a time that no-one know

I've seen our freedom in the mist of time
The old signs I'll follow for the day of relief will be yours and mine

Mother, oh mother you told me to go
Where the sun will lead me away from the snow
I have turned for a last goodbye
Now I do know it's my fate to try

I've seen our freedom in the mist of time
The old signs I'll follow and the day of relief will be yours and mine

[Part 2 - The Machine]

For years I have been searching
To find the missing blueprint
In corners of my mindscape
Deep inside those shades

The answers are a secret
Forbidden by the black kings
They keep us in this prison
Slavery is our fate

In the dark I can see
What nobody else can see
Oh this world is a cage
How can we all ever be saved?

I'm making my contraption
A strange machine construction
Einstein to Hawking see me
Watch me build your dream

This device makes me go
Where nobody else could go
To the past, to warn you all
So the sword can never fall

(Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days)
(To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze, to the days - in the haze of time)
(We all will be together again)
(Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days)
(To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze, to the days - in the haze of time)
(Laying our hands on the uncertain)

(...)

I'll change the world for you
(We all will be together again)
Flying through space and time
(Laying my hands on the uncertain)

"How fragile were your childish dreams
Ignorance, ha! It suits you well
No ray of light shall accompany you
For it is darkness, in which you dwell"

[Part 3 - A Parallel Sphere]

All stars falling down

Such gold, such green, gleeful they gather
Stirring the sky like I've never seen
An emerald bee tingles my brow
Until it dissolves into a puny sea
Hear the hollow willow, hear!
Like a miser weep
Like leviathan shrieks
I fear - my delirium's here - it's here and now!

Are there monsters out to get me?
Who will tame or heed their growls?
Who is mocking me, who dares to?
Show your face, come forth now!

This new world you found might seem unreal
Who is mocking me, who dares to?
Mirror to your mind and to your soul
Show your face, come forth now!

(We will abduct your senses forever)
(We will lead you into your dark night)
(You will give in to all the drugs served here)
(You will feel like you are dreaming)

Slowly you'll forget where you came from
No power left to stay strong

"Yes, it's true... now you are my creature... a puppet in my theater of dimensions
The key that will unlock the entire universe to me!
Soon you will do all my bidding
And you will be unable to escape this waking nightmare!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-..."

[Part 4 - A battle of Minds]

I'll take you down with me
And I will steal your memories
You'll never be released
And you will never live in peace

You came here you fool
And now you will serve as my tool
My demons will haunt you
And I will use your powers soon

Laughters rises from the darkness
Whispers from a smiling carcass
Creatures of your childish nightmares
Grab you with their rotten fingers

Monsters and ghosts dance with you in a labyrinth
Demons and clowns laughing loud while you're suffering
Witches delude you with their dark sorcery
Taking you down into hell's fiery kitchen

Fear, only fear
fear is everywhere

We can see your strength is fading
In your mind, a last chance waiting
You will turn your demons back on him

I can see my strength is fading
In my mind, a last chance waiting
I will turn my demons back on you

So you want to fight
Yes, I will free my mind
No, you cannot win
Ha-ha-ha! I'm not going to give in

What is happening?
Now your creatures are with me
Oh what have you done?
Now it's you has to run!

Oh world, bright abyss, let us reminisce
Come dawn's warm embrace, all hearts will be...
Sanctified, saved and whole
Turned away from evil's toll
To free the world from its cage
Lay me down into my grave

(Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days)
(To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze)
(To the days - in the haze of time)
(Wish we could be together again)

(Fly! Fly away, fly away, fly away to the days)
(To the days, to the days, to the days in the haze)
(To the days - in the haze of time)
(Caged in this parallel dimension)

I changed the world for you
(Wish we could be together again)
Flying through space and time
(Caged in this parallel dimension)

Who dared to mock me? Oh!
I stood my ground, fierce and proud!
Oh let me living die!
The dark's defied, the time is nigh!
Till death does come, till death does come!

[Part 5 - Home in a Dream]

Children, oh children, when you'll be born
Your world will be no longer torn
I will watch you from afar
Down on our little blue star

And you'll see your freedom in the mist of time
The old signs you'll follow
For the day of relief will be yours and mine
Finally it's yours and mine

(Destined!)
(This is predetermined, if you follow, through!)
(Follow through every byway)
(Follow fate on your journey)
(River deep mountain high)
(Through daylight and darkest nights)

Though my tale starts cold and lonely
The promise that I heard colored my world
To the outline of a greater spectrum
Where chances are revealed fate will be sealed
Walk the path, ford the stream, 'till I reach my dream

This is the moment, my redemption
This is the day that all the stars align
I gain my momentum
Every endeavor, every measure led the way to overcome and say:
I've answered to the... call of destiny

Not a course for the faint hearted
This journey that I'm on demands my all
I will overthrow my tribulations
And value what they're worth let it be heard:
Gain control, self-esteem, 'till I reach my dream

This is the moment, my redemption
This is the day that all the stars align
I gain my momentum
Every endeavor, every measure led the way to overcome and say:
I've answered to the... call of destiny

(Follow through every byway)
(Follow fate on your journey)
(River deep, mountain high)
(Through daylight and darkest nights)

I'll walk the path every stepping stone, oh!
I'll ford the stream! Time to live my dream!

This is the moment, my redemption
This is the day that all the stars align
I gain my momentum
Every endeavor, every measure led the way to overcome and say:
I am here today!

(This is the moment, my redemption)
The moment's now here and mine!
(This is the day that all the stars align)
(I gain my momentum)
(Every endeavor, every measure led the way to overcome and say:)
My fate fulfilled and defined!
(I've answered to the)
Oh... call of destiny
(Call of destiny)

Abide with me or redeem me
Fall ends, winter is nigh
With a gentle voice I'm guided to the void where loneliness roams...

Rename me like a master from upon your bloody throne
I'll go forth here in silence and abandon my home
In the last light of noonday I fell wilted away
Oh mother please come save me from the dark night of the soul

I have come to see you reviled me
Reproved me with a sigh

Now from different shores a made-up story's told
Through my tears of yore...

Rename me like a master from upon your bloody throne
I'll go forth here in silence and abandon my home
In the last light of noonday I fell wilted away
Oh mother please come save me from the dark night of the soul, oh...

Rename me like a master from upon your bloody throne
I'll go forth here in silence and abandon my home
In the last light of noonday I fell wilted away
Oh mother please come save me from the dark night of the soul, oh...

Oh mother please come save me from this emptiness, lead me away
Oh mother please come save me from this emptiness
Save me now from the dark night of the soul

My child, my fleeting hour has come,
There's no mercy for me, no pardon
Close my eyes, I know you're overcome
and I have failed to guard you

Over mountains, through the meadows,
You travelled far from home
By the hand of your father
I'm left, abandoned, alone

Hear my voice, remember who cradled you
Who loved and swore to guide you,
through the darkest hours of your life,
Return to me, if only tonight

My child, let your kisses console my heart,
Revive me with your smile
All is gone now, now all is lost
Hear me plead for one last goodbye

Over mountains, through the meadows
He carried you far from home
By his hand, the hand of your father
We're left, abandoned, alone

Hear my voice, remember who cradled you
Who loved and swore to guide you,
through the darkest hours of your live,
Return to me, if only tonight

Hear my voice, remember who cradled you
Who loved and swore to guide you,
through the darkest hours of your live,
Return to me, my child
Let us reunite

Speak to me one last time, smile at me once more,
I cannot bear this distance, our memories galore
In lucid dreams I'm dancing, my cries echo unheard
Your soul now deaf to my every bitter word
My muted love, may you rest forever
Cradled to the sounds of this lullaby:

In our sweet atonement we slumber secretly
We'll never comprehend that we never should have been
Oh this true love story is buried in memories

Let me crawl inside you to open your weary eyes,
Heal the wound that broke you, recover all goodbyes
My muted love, when were we raided?
Who dare leave us, jaded and torn

In my sweet atonement we slumber secretly
We'll never comprehend that we never should have been
Oh this true love story is buried in memories

In our sweet atonement we slumber secretly
We'll never comprehend that we never should have been
Oh this true love story is buried in memories
And my voice was silenced the moment we started to dream...

Be the valentine, rip the heart of mine
Give your innocence to the brightest of dreams
This is harvest time, taste the blood-red wine
Of this gilded art, it is spilled from my own... heart

It's so hard to see my face
In the mirror's cold disgrace
I wonder what is this I have become
A childish forlorn wish
So easy to seduce
Seems like it's just one step to fall down

Be the valentine, rip the heart of mine
Give your innocence to the brightest of... dreams

I can hardly write these lines
'Cause I already have signed
My name across the wall of prayers

Now I listen to my name
Sounding like a blame
I close my eyes and start to sing my song

Be the valentine, rip the heart of mine
Give your innocence to the brightest of...
This is harvest time, taste the blood-red wine
Of this gilded art, it is spilled from my own heart

If I'm looking back behind
To long forgotten times
There's something that is burning on and on

Oh, oh, oh, pactum fraudis!
Oh, oh, oh, pactum fraudis!
Oh, oh, oh, pactum fraudis!
Oh, oh, oh, pactum fraudis!
Sanguinans!

I live in memories, cast into melodies
They die in harmony with greed and treachery

Be the valentine, rip the heart of mine
Give your innocence to the brightest of...
This is harvest time, taste the blood-red wine
Of this gilded art, it is spilled from my own heart

How can I run from this hurting never-ending pain?
