1. Holding On
Steel of our brave hearts trapped inside
In frozen illusion
High is the mountain we must climb
Reach out for rebellion

Rise up to the open sky
One chance at the price of glory
Fire in a thousand blazing skies
One lifetime ascending
Strong as an army side by side
Still brave and defending

March on through the tragic lands
Cold tears in the north wind falling
Raise your souls high
See the new dawn arise through the

[CHORUS]
Sands of all time, mystery of life
Everlasting sadness through light years gone by
land lost in time, once more back where we belong
Promises of yesterday, we'll keep holding on

Silent and twisted lifeless mind
So blind in delusion
Cursed by the emptiness inside
Cast out in confusion

Strike back with the power in hand
Break free from a past life dying
Onwards we strive till
The answers we'll find in the

[CHORUS]

Still lost alone and I'm dying
Daylight the world is still crying
Evermore we'll search throughout a lifetime

[SOLOS: HERMAN / SAM]

Stars are falling down tonight,
light the path where eagles fly
Find the strength inside us, a new world reborn
Silent tears of pain we cried,
raise our hands unto the sky
Break the chains that bind us,
One movement in time as we

Rise up to the open sky
One chance at the price of glory
Raise your souls high
See the new dawn arise through the

Sands of all time, mystery of life
Everlasting sadness through light years gone by
land lost in time, once more back where we belong
Memories of life to pray for
Everlasting price to pay for
Promises of yesterday, we'll keep holding on

Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah

Sands of all time, once more we'll rise up again
Stand alone and fight till the end


2. Fallen World

Soldiers of fire
Rage of the universe
Cold steel and bloodshed
In the lost barren wasteland

Fear rising higher,
Rage of the winter war
Death calls at night fall,
Our hatred still burns as

We march through endless skies
Mankind will fall, death will arise

[Chorus:]
For a lifetime we fight without reason,
Still we wait for the warriors return
Though we're cast out and broken, we still carry on
Alone in a lost fallen world
Woah-Yeah!

Flames burning higher,
Curse of the winter land,
Black, torn, and twisted
In the fast-fading twilight

Storm winds still blowing
Steel shapes our destiny,
Death calls at night fall
Our curse with be lifted

Disguise this timeless crime
Brave men will fall, evil will rise!

[Chorus]

Still heroes we're born with promises so blind
The light at the end of the road that we all must climb (climb)

or a lifetime we fight without reason
Still we wait for the warriors return
Though we're cast out and broken we still carry on
Alone in a lost fallen world
Alone in a lost fallen world

Woah-Yeah!


3. Cry Thunder

Time after time as we march side by side
Through the valleys of evil and the torturing souls,
Night after night, for the glory we fight,
In the kingdom of madness and the tales from the old

Death by our hands, for the higher command,
As the darkness surrounds us hear the cries as they fall
Fire burning steel and the tyrants will kneel
Hearts burning stronger with the power of the sword

Set sail for the glory,
Pray for the master of war (pray for the master of war)
Sunlight will fall by the wastelands,
Endless rise for the heroes before

Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand,
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command
Blessed by the union, freedom of man

Reckoning day, for the demons we slay,
With the force of a dragon we will conquer them all!
Chaos still reigns devastation and flames
For the ultimate glory when the legacy calls

March on
Through the hellfire
Blazing for the darkness beyond (blazing for the darkness beyond)
Nightmare return of the thousands
Giving rise to the heroes once more

Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand,
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command
Blessed by the union, freedom of man

[Solos]

Unholy darkness,
In the eyes of broken dreams,
Outside of the wasted and torn,
A land of tears still remains
Soldiers of destiny calling,
And the fallen will rise up again,
Conquer the forces of evil and fight to the end

Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand,
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command,
Saviour of nations, freedom of man

Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand,
Warriors defending,
One final stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command,
Blessed by the union, freedom of man

Blessed by the union of man
Cry thunder!
Yeah yeah


4. Give Me The Night

Falling gradually, endlessly the perfect disease
Everyone's a winner but you're down on your knees
Sanity is passing one more shot if you please
For the one final game I won't be playing

Still the same tempting voice in my mind
Losing grip on it all (losing grip on it all)
Carry on through the endless lies
'Cause I can't see a reason why

[CHORUS]
Give me the night
Let me be me for one last time
A prisoner of myself lost in disguise
Just give me the night
Still living in a twisted dream
There's no tomorrow for right now will be
The best time of my life

Hammering, sickening, torment and pain
Blind ambition to poison my brain
Cheating, lying, begging, stealing day after day
For the one final dose I won't be saving

Pure darkness consuming my life
Don't wanna die here alone (die here alone)
Walk away from reality
Got a date with the enemy

[CHORUS]

The best time of my life!

Still the same tempting voice in my mind
Losing grip on it all (losing grip on it all)
Carry on through the endless lies
'Cause I can't see a reason why

[CHORUS]

YEAH!


5. Wings Of Liberty

Outside of this world,
There's a life force still burning
Outside of this land
There's a star shining free

In silence we stand,
On a golden horizon, calling
This time there's a light for us
Still shining so bright for us
Again

Trapped inside this paradise still bleeding
While there are so many faces in this mask of lies
Blinded by the promises and the life in pain
Now the time has come for all of us to rise

Through the fires of hell between us
Through a lifetime of our dreams
Endless tears still burn inside
Beneath the sadness of our screams

And the years of our forsaken lands
Silent we stand here alone
Nothing to say when the evil finally burns

We all stand in silence for the wasted and gone
One warrior standing through a thousand year storm
Our past lives still shining, the starlight reveals
Our glory remembered for the power of the steel

And the winter rain will fall, around the brave and fallen
Like the sands of endless time, they'll never be forgotten
We all stand in silence for the wasted and gone,
For the last time we cry now for freedom

Cast aside, this dying world forsakes us
Break the chains of our creation now to save our lives
Blight of all eternity and the curse of steel
Like the winter rain will tear the blazing skies

From the wastelands of destruction
With the fire we hold inside
Rise again, still glorious
For the power of all mankind

Through the years of our forsaken lands
Silent we stand here alone
Nothing to say when the evil finally burns

We all stand in silence for the wasted and gone
One warrior standing, through a thousand years strong
Our past lives still shining, the starlight reveals
Our glory remembered, with the power of the steel

And the winter rain will fall, around the brave and fallen
Like the sands of endless time, they'll never be forgotten
We all stand in silence for the wasted and gone,
For the last time we cry now for freedom

Through the trials of fire behind us,
In the dark and burning skies
Fallen tears still lost inside
Within the memories of our lives

And the years of our forsaken lands
Silent we stand here alone
Nothing to say when the evil finally burns

We all stand in silence for the wasted and gone
One warrior standing, through a thousand years strong
Our past lives still shining, the starlight reveals
Our glory remembered, with the power of the steel

And the winter rain will fall, around the brave and fallen
Like the sands of endless time, they'll never be forgotten
We all stand in silence for the wasted and gone,
For the last time we cry now for freedom

For the last tiem we cry now for freedom... AGAIN!!!


6. Seasons

I'm searching through emptiness
And tried to forget us in vain
The light of the dark setting sun
Will bring my sadness to an end

Voices cry out through the fear and the doubt
As we wait for our lives to be better

[CHORUS]
The words are dying in the night
No winter lasts forever
The seasons pass and sunlight will shine on my life again
So let the past now burn down in flames

Locked in a prison, in a world of living fear
On the edge of my destruction marching on
Still suffer in darkness with the dreams of life not meant to be
As I lie awake and curse the rising sun

Sadness inside from the truth that she hides
And this pain in my heart for no reason

[CHORUS]

[SOLO: SAM]

Stare into my eyes, I'm burning with lust and desire
Won't you come down and let yourself go in the fire
So leave the past behind

The words are dying in the night
No winter lasts forever
The seasons pass and sunlight will shine on my life again
So leave the past behind

The dark clouds fading from my mind (fading from my mind)
No pain will last forever (last forever)
The seasons pass and sunlight will shine on my life again
So let the past now burn down in flames
Now burn down in flames

[SOLO: FRED]


7. Heart Of The Storm

Silently marching our quest for revenge
Lost in the forgotten tragedy
Scars of the past still alive in our veins
Onwards we fight to our destiny

Trample their forces we now overrun
Sign of the power inside of us
Cities in ruins and lives are destroyed
Stand at the edge of the universe

Suffering fills the open sky
Battering down the pain inside
Memories hide the moonlight sky till the end of our days

Conquering lands and fallen heroes
Sanity torn we ride on fearless
Victory sounds a thousand miles away

[CHORUS]
Into this world in wonder from a starlight sky
For a lifetime of freedom and the legend is born
Once more unbroken, the price we will pay
On this march into fire, the heart of the storm

Endless destruction consuming our land
Legions of darkness destroy mankind
Storming the wasteland we now overcome
Vanquising evil insane we find

Rise of the slain, breaking the chains
Fight through the whirlwind of doom

Live for the day, conquer the pain
Under the light of the moon

[CHORUS]

Outside the endless rain
Crushed by the burning pain
This life goes on forever after
Across the universe, on through the twilight sky
And still we feel the fire go on and on

[CHORUS]


8. Die By The Sword

Outside the battle ragin death upon us
No surrender unchained and free
Insanity will lead to blind destruction
Crush the evil, the foul disease

Our final destination reborn in darkness
Watching and waiting destroying with ease
The judgement day upon us as dawn is breaking
Mankind will fall to the spineless decieved

[CHORUS]
Fly through the storm, power of the steel
Striking with vegence, force them to kneel
Soldiers unite, force of the world
Fight till the end we will die by the sword

Fight on in foreign fields of mass destruction
Stand as one, no man left behind
Our final victory, tonight awaits us
Slain in darkness behind the lines

Raise the dead, ride beside of me
Fallen heroes, of a thousand moons
Blaze ahead the price that they now pay
On the march to their doom

[CHORUS]

Fight till the end we will die by the sword

Light the fires of freedom, on the shores of endless seas
Wings of glory guide us, on the path to victory
Light the fires of freedom, on the shores of endless seas
Wings of glory guide us, on the path to victory

Outside the battle raging death upon us
No surrender unchained and free
Insaniy will lead to blind destruction
Crush the evil, the foul disease

[CHORUS]


9. Last Man Stands

One man remains
And the stars seem to change
Far beyond our universe tonight

And the cries of the brave
And the skies filled with pain
For the silent ones we pray for all tonight

New dawn rising destruction and pain
Long days passing the fear of the rain
Soldiers fighting on the price they will pay
Nuclear meltdown the world uncertain from the

Power of the tragedy of man's creation
Rise from the suffering for our salvation

Fearless we stand strong till the end, at the trial of all our lives
Now say our final goodbyes

[CHORUS]
Light the path for the journey home
Save a prayer for the lost alone
Find a way from the other side
Before the heroes task still binding
Through the long nights across the seas
Shine a light for eternity
Find a way beyond the other side
Until the last man stands for all mankind

Skies now blackened the night turns to day
Nations fearful of global decay
Fires still raging on in vain now we pray
Nuclear fallout the fortunes fading as we

Stand at the edge barren desolation
Fight for the future of our generation

Fearless we stand, brave we defend
For a thousand years gone by
Now say our final goodbyes

[CHORUS]

And the fate of the world in our hands
Rise again until the end of time
Until the last man stands for all mankind

The words are dying in the night
No winter lasts forever
The seasons pass and sunlight will shine on my life again

11. Cry Thunder (Live Rehearsal)

Time after time, as we march side by side
Through the valleys of evil and the torturing souls
Night after night, for the glory we fight
In the kingdom of madness and the tales from the old

Death by our hands, for the higher command
As the darkness surrounds us in the quiet as they fall
Fire burning steel, and the tyrants will kneel
Hearts burning stronger with the power of the sword

Set sail for the glory
Pray for the master of war
Sunlight will fall by the wastelands
Endless rise to the heroes before

[Chorus:]
Cry thunder
Sword in his hand
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder
Strong in command
Blessed by the union, freedom of man

Reckoning day, for the demons we slay
With the force of a dragon we will conquer them all
Chaos still reigns, devastation and flames
With the ultimate glory when the legacy calls

March on through the hellfire
Blazing through the darkness beyond
Nightmares return of the thousands
Giving rise to the heroes once more

[Chorus]

[Solo]

Unholy darkness
In the eyes of broken dreams
Outside of the wasted and torn
a land of tears still remains
Soldiers of destiny calling
and the fallen will rise up again
Conquer the forces of evil and fight to the end

Sword in his hand
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder
Strong in command
Savior of nations, freedom of man

Sword in his hand
Warriors defending, one final stand

[Bonus Track]

Silently marching, our quest for revenge
Lost in the forgotten tragedy
Scars of the past still alive in our veins
Onwards we fight to our destiny

Trample their forces we now overrun
Sign of the power inside of us
Cities in ruins and lives are destroyed
Stand at the edge of the universe

Suffering fills the open sky
Battering down the pain inside
Memories hide the moonlight sky
Till the end of our days

Conquering lands and fallen heroes
Sanity torn we ride on fearless
Victory sounds a thousand miles away

And still we stand alone before the moonlight rider
Rise again to light the power inside us
Fires of hell inside of the darkness burning
Far away from me
Ride again before the light, still shining
Fly towards, before the far horizon
Fires of hell inside of the darkness burning
Far away from me
In the dead of night

Endless destruction consuming our land
Legions of darkness destroy mankind
Storming the wasteland we now overcome
Vanquishing evil, insane we find

Rise of the slain, breaking the chains
Fight through the whirlwind of doom
Live for the day, conquer the pain
Under the light of the moon

Outside the endless rain
Crushed by the burning pain
This life goes on forever after
Across the universe
On through the twilight sky
And still we feel the fire go on and on

1. Heroes Of Our Time

Lost in a dream, finally it seems,
Emptiness and everlasting madness,
See the sadness grow, watching as we know,
Long before our journey for the world,
Call for us, the power in all of us,
So far beyond the blackened sky tonight...
Glorious, forever more in us,
We are victorious, and so alive.

[Chorus]
We'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow,
Our journey on towards a brighter day,
Silent tears we left behind, still so far away,
Across the endless sands,
Through the fields of our despair,
Free for all eternity, we stand, yeah,
Rise above the universe tonight,
Starchaser...

Fly towards the storm, see the world reborn,
Feel the pain inside the voice of sorrow,
Cross the distant shores, find the open door,
Stand alone, in judgment for tomorrow.

Years of pain still haunt us all, we saw the last sunrise,
Take me home, in freedom, for a lifetime...
Pray now for the silence, and the last tears we'll cry
So glorious, this fire inside, united we stand.

[Chorus]
And we'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow,
Our journey on towards a brighter day,
Silent tears we left behind, still so far away,
Across the endless sands,
Through the fields of our despair,
Free for all eternity, we stand, yeah,
Rise above the universe tonight,
Starchaser...

Free from this world, here for the last time,
Oceans collide inside of us all,
Believe who we are,
The phoenix will guide us,
Freedom will rise once again.

Save us tonight, the last hope for all of us,
Light-years gone by, we're still holding on,
Save us tonight, a star shines in all of us,
Far beyond our lives, still our glory lives on.

[Chorus]
And we'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow,
Our journey on towards a brighter day,
Silent tears we left behind, still so far away,
Across the endless sands,
Through the fields of our despair,
Free for all eternity, we stand, yeah,
Rise above the universe tonight,
Starchaser...Starchaser...

Our kingdom come, we stand as one,
And we will live for always evermore...


2. The Fire Still Burns

Finally all the world will see,
Rise again before the endless silence,
Burn the soul before we'll all be free,
Light the path beneath a blackened, burning sky.

One final sacrifice, this night belongs to me,
Turn back before the dawn of winter,
So far away the cry set fallen angels free,
Through my mind tonight, our journey ever after.

Never ending solitude, this is your life to be,
So cold and dark, the voice of sadness,
Suffering in endless pain, the truth of all to be,
Crawling back to life through ever-blinding darkness.

Free falling, fates warning, find a life to hold on,
Souls stealers, true believers, rise now they are gone,
And as they ride away forsake the one to save us,
Winters mourning of a lost fallen world,
Pray now united in a lifetime alone,
Won't you wait for the silence so strong?
Wait for the dawn.

[Chorus:]
Tonight, falling like the rain insanity lives on,
Feel the shattered dreams, one thousand voices crying,
Raging endlessly they come, whoa,
And the morning light will hide the darker days gone by,
And the sun will shine again across the blazing skies,
Glorious eternally we'll rise above the world,
Marching on till victory we fight,
The fire still burns...

Looking back our passing lives, their memories to see,
Flick through the passages of silence,
Hidden by the sacrifice to set the demons free,
Now they understand reclaim the land relentless.

Fear calling, transforming, stand alone in our time,
Advocation, desolation, slay the vision divine,
And all the stars fall around the world tonight,
Silent forces from a past life return,
Pray for the silence in a world so alone,
Til' we touch the horizon beyond,
Fly through the storm.

[Chorus]

The tears in your eyes,
A lifetime of misery,
In silence we stand all alone for the fate of our own destiny,
A lifetime of lies,
One chance at this fantasy,
The judgement will pass for the cries of the world that has faded from me.

Whoa, oh oh oh,
Whoa, oh oh oh,
Whoa, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhh,
Whoa, oh oh oh,
Whoa, oh oh oh,
Whoa, oh oh oh oh oh ohhhh oh oh oh.

[Chorus]


3. Reasons To Live

Once again I'm here alone, my secret life awaits me,
Still a thousand miles away from a land of broken dreams,
Night falls and the screen is shining, force deception behind the lines,
Hours wasted aimlessly gone, time and time again.

[Pre-chorus:]
Try to understand, desperately lost with a dream in my hand,
Will you wait alone for me tonight?
Hold me, save me.

[Chorus:]
A star shines in all of us, we'll search for all our lives,
One day we'll find a way, and a reason to survive,
Cry for the day to return, life no one can understand,
We all face our fears in the world,
We all hold our place in the universe,
For eternity...

Hide the lines deceive myself, erase the past from my space,
Images of loneliness sent far across the land,
Once sure, but my eyes are blinded,
Frantic charge for a place to hide
Lost generations apart, an ancient life returns.

Kindness in her eyes, taken away by a man in disguise,
Won't you wait alone again tonight?
Save me, take me.

[Chorus]
[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]


4. Heartbreak Armageddon

Highway of emptiness outside the burning world,
Rise again this quest for our salvation,
Running faster, the savage laughter, the daylight fades away,
Nothing left but the life we left behind,
Ever searching the hidden faces, the hatred grows inside,
Broken man and a family left destroyed.

Light years away, empty words between us,
So turn away and say goodbye for the last time tonight,
Still lost within the loneliness a lifetime ago,
Hanging on as we passed through the fields,
These pieces of our lives will lead the long journey home,
And the wounds never heal

[Chorus:]
So fly for the last time, and the fire burns within,
Silently we stand in a long forgotten wasteland,
Rise through the lost ages, hope they will bring,
Free forever more and the dream will never die.

Devastation, a lost connection, a beatdown man returns,
So confused and alone for one more time,
Crushed defeated, the fog surrounding, a prisoner trapped inside,
System down feel the veins erupt tonight.

Time after time, promises of freedom,
We'll leave the past behind and strike for the first time tonight,
Still mystified by lack of cravation they show,
After all of the trials we've been through,
These memories and empty words were all lost in vain,
And the scars never heal.

[Chorus x3]

Whoa, oh, oh,
And the dream will never die.


5. The Last Journey Home

Strangers to reason, our bleeding hearts so cold,
Life brings a change in season, fear will blind the soul,
In the silence one moment alone,
Cast away scattered far on the wasteland.

Sever the soul from the forgotten sickness, escape this life,
Challenge the dream before the long departed a mindless rhyme,
Whoa, oh, oh,
Hear the burning thunder roar,
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh.

Whoa, oh, oh,
Still lost in a fire storm,
Tonight we feel the past return.

Lost inside the dream, pass by the life we'll live forever,
Still the wasted time left burning below
One thousand shattered voices, lost inside in endless wonder,
Tonight her voice will take me home.

[Chorus:]
Shine glorious we run, we stare into the blackened sky,
Save the last command, the virtue blinding,
So far beyond the sun, still burning with the fire inside,
Once alone again, silent stares for our last journey home.

Paralysed, intensified mutation, frustration,
Everlasting lifetime in the underworld,
We'll travel endlessly, deluded, disjointed,
One man can't understand this sad misery.

Whoa, oh oh oh ohh,
Whoa, oh oh ohh,
Whoa, oh oh oh oh oh ohh.

They've taken my heart,
They've taken my soul,
And now we stand alone insanity.

In time we'll see the past unwind,
Alive, still wandering our fallen land,
One more time we stare into the blackened sky,
For tonight, in our hearts now we feel,
One last time see our destiny revealed.

[Chorus]

Shine glorious tonight, still blinded by the blackened sun,
Save the last command, forever rising,
So far beyond they come, still burning with the fire inside,
Once alone again, silent stares for our last journey home.


6. A Flame For Freedom

[Chorus:]
One dream in all of us still shining,
One star, the ever lasting light,
So alone, so lost inside, to the end in paradise,
United, victorious, the hearts of our nation tonight.

In the dark December morning light,
Fall strong to the burning winds, the fires of Hell will forsake me,
Shattering the chains that ever bind us,
Suffering their pain eternally.

Four strong, smash the silence, carry on like before,
Fires burn, still we battle, lost so far away,
Storm with hell fire raging, sun shines down as they kneel,
Lost in times and long forgotten, gathering miles away.

Tears fall inside the dream, our last days gone by,
Still alive we feel the pain tonight,
Stars fall through blackened clouds, in dreams sadness reigns,
A twilight star in the thousand lights for me.

Ohhhhhhhhh.

[Chorus]

And still we save a breath for the world,
Life brings up for us all,
United, victorious, the hearts of our nation tonight.

One dream in all of us still shining,
One star, the ever lasting light...

[Chorus]

And still we save a breath for the world,
Life brings up for us all,
United, victorious, the hearts of our nation tonight.

United, victorious, the hearts of our nation tonight.


7. Inside The Winter Storm

Strangers they come with the rise of the sun,
To escape from this madness forever,
Rivers will dry, bringing holes in the sky,
As the empire is fading away.

Silently march now, where the lost souls run wild,
In a time long forgotten, forever,
Pain brings us sadness at the dawn of the world,
But this nightmare will still carry on.

Through the day we'll find a way, we're lost beneath the stars,
Faceless they fall now, and we all stand as one,
Long wasted tears, but a light forever shining,
One stand one last demand to end it all.

[Pre chorus:]
Outside the world in a fallen land, turn away from our despair,
We stand alone in a silent dream, lost within eternally,
Whoa, oh oh ohh,
Whoa, oh oh oh ohh,
Rise again and try to understand.

[Chorus:]
A light for the world will save us tonight,
Redemption still so far away,
Marching on inside of our loneliness,
Still searching for all that remains.

And time will pass me by,
But I'm not so far away,
We're the sons of the land, our lifeblood runs into the ocean,
Tomorrow we're gone, our souls rising up to the sun.

[Chorus]

It's just one wasted man in one wasted land,
Suffering, still burning, so alive,
It's just one wasted man, in one wasted land,
Until the end of time,
Inside the winter storm.

[Pre chorus]

[Chorus]

It's just one wasted man, in one wasted land,
Suffering so far, and so alive,
It's just one wasted man, in one wasted land,
Until the end of time,
Inside the winter storm.

Inside the winter storm !


8. The Warrior Inside

Sonic fires bring mass devastation,
Manic search in sad desperation,
Jeopardise the right to hide from a sad existence,
Nothing left, still searching for something,
Deep beneath the cries
Wait for the deafening silence, fly forever more.

Crushed by the thought that you're all alone, cravation in her eyes,
I will be waiting tomorrow,
Striving to understand, wasting a life not meant to be,
Twisted and so broken once again,
And the promises we cast away will shine a guiding light,
Victim of your grief and denial.

[Chorus:]
Take my hand, this one last time,
Face the world before us, the warrior inside,
In a lifetime of disaster, it's a battle to the end,
Final stand, my life must carry on,
And forever, this time.

Battered, beaten, forced to submission,
Stricken by your fatal decision,
Suddenly it's time to say your last goodbyes,
Misery remains voluntary, all illusion gone,
Break through the blistering madness,
Free forever more.

Blinded my eyes with your filtering mutation cast aside,
I'll still be waiting tomorrow,
Stand to a toxic man, forced to a life of yesterday,
Theatre of salvation crushed and burned,
Down this lonely road, recede the day our dreams are brushed,
Can't regain this emptiness in time.

[Chorus]

See through the skies,
Far beyond the road tonight,
Here the sounds of freedom ring,
In a silent dream, and a million miles away.

See through the skies, far beyond our world tonight,
Hear the sounds of freedom ring,
In a silent dream,
And a million miles away.

Reach for the stars,
And live our lives forever free,
In our hearts for a thousand years,
And a thousand lifetimes before.

And the dawn of a new day will rise, a light for us all.


9. Strike Of The Ninja

[Bonus track]

Eternal temptation, their eyes to the sky
This nightmare is everywhere, my eyes open wide
Crash on through troubled waters, oceans collide
We stand alone until the end, we fight side by side

Standing strong together, marching forever on
Fire in the heavens, now that our time has come

We feel the fire burning bright in the night
Where the warrior lives and the warrior dies
Wherever you go, we will be by your side
For the Spirit of Ninja will carry the night

The sky will turn black as nightfall appears
The hatred surrounding, they hide in great fear
The evil all around, the sound they will hear
Will not be for long now, the time it is near

Raising hell forever, still millenniums go by
Fire in the heavens, bleeding ears hear the cry

We feel the fire burning bright in the night
Where the warrior lives and the warrior dies
Wherever you go, we will be by your side
For the Spirit of Ninja will carry the night

Standing strong together, marching forever on
Fire in the heavens, now that our time has come

We feel the fire burning bright in the night
Where the warrior lives and the warrior dies
Wherever you go, we will be by your side
For the Spirit of Ninja tonight

We feel the fire burning bright in the night
Where the warrior lives and the warrior dies
Wherever you go, we will be by your side
For the Spirit of Ninja will carry the night

With the ninja forever, tonight!


10. Scars Of Yesterday

[Bonus track]

Suffer the raging anger creeping below
Trapped in the circle, so helpless
Forces beyond
This is your last chance to die

I hear a thousand voices screaming my name
Dreams of a life forgotten now will be gone
Never to return again

Hide from the light, you feel so hypnotized
Filtered and disguised
Burning forever, try to remember
Sadness in her eyes

So many times now we've been here before
No more illusions behind the open door
Trapped within my fierce desire, resistance is futile
Screaming for your life, nowhere to hide
Tonight we cross the line, your innocence is mine

Falling down, my life fading now to the end
One last chance of glory in my heart again
Set me free from craving the one thing I can't have inside of me
But is it all a waste of time?

Lost in a misery, the fatal demise
Forced to a living that no one can understand
Hiding behind all the lies

A long time in slavery, it cries out in vain
Lurking around the shadows until the end
Fearless in fatal disguise

Wake from the dream, the life you left behind
Time to understand
Lost in the laughter, life everafter
Trials of a broken man

And through this madness a new day will rise
We shall remember the pain she held inside
Fear the pain inside my heart, our sacrifice in vain
Screaming for your life, nowhere to hide
This everlasting strain, driving you insane

Falling down, my life fading now to the end
One last chance of glory in my heart again
Set me free from craving the one thing I can't have inside of me
But is it all a waste of time?

Still lost in the universe, we cry for a new day to come
Break free from our loneliness, the last time
Pray tonight as we try to understand

Falling down, my life fading now to the end
I'm alive forever, my soul will ascend
One last chance of glory in my heart again
Set me free from this craving the one thing I can't have inside of me
Just a memory
Or is it all a waste of time?


11. E. P. M. (Extreme Power Metal)

[Japanese bonus track]

In a lifetime of decay
Sudden cry for yesterday,
When the world will see the end of eternity
Sacrifice before the dawn
Of a child soon to be born
Before the night too many tears we cried

In a long forgotten land
Through the silent raging pain
Of the price to pay that awaits for me
The end of all our destiny

Don't close your eyes tonight
For the lights beyond still shine towards a brighter day
The time has come for us tread blood across the sands
Carry on as the red rivers run

And through the wilderness we feel the pouring rain
In the silence ever searching on through the misery
And all the promises we made and cried in vain
Don't you take the time to realise the master of disguise?

Blind my eyes burning forever to wash my sins away
Out of the dark pain is the price
Fly away out of the raging storm
Lost within my memories
Still haunting me
A never ending story

Far and wide forever on
Stand before the world alone we journey to the other side
Raise your hands to the sky
Through the night and through the day
Don't look back no time to pray
The battle rages on marching on and on

Don't cry for me tonight
For the lights beyond will guide me home tomorrow
The time will come for us the curse is growing strong
Carry on with the rise of the sun

So take me far away it's time to set me free
All my life I have been waiting but I could never see
Raising your hands to the sky
Turning your eyes to the sun
Pray for forgiveness
The power to save has gone for the last time

Blind my eyes burning forever to wash my sins away
Out of the dark pain is the price
Fly away out of the raging storm
Lost within my memories
Still haunting me
A never ending story

Blind my eyes burning forever to wash my sins away
Out of the dark pain is the price
Fly away out of the raging storm
Lost within my memories
Still haunting me
A never ending story

1. Through The Fire And The Flames

On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign we ride towards the fight
When the darkness has fallen down, and the times are tough all right
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight

Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel, through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell bodies wasted on the shores
On the blackest plains in hell's domain, we watch them as we go
In fire and pain, and once again we know

So now we fly ever free
We're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls

[Chorus:]
So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky
They'll raise their hands to the heavens above
With resentment in their eyes
Running back from the mid-morning light
There's a burning in my heart
We're banished from a time in a fallen land
To a life beyond the stars

In your darkest dreams see to believe
Our destiny is time
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight

And on the wings of a dream, so far beyond reality
All alone in desperation, now the time has gone
Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

[Chorus]

[Solos: Twin/Sam/Twin/Herman/Twin/Herman/Sam/Herman/Sam]

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We fought so hard now can we understand
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man

[Chorus]


2. Revolution Deathsquad

Flying over darkened skies the battle will call
Distant angels crying in the eye of the storm
And the world falls under the starlight shining from heavens below
Long years of pain and sorrow searching for more
Cry for the touch of angels never before
And the stars fall on the horizon onwards and up through the pain

Ride the wind and fight the demon steel shining bright
Standing together forever onwards flames burning strong
Hot wind in hell of pain and sorrow now and ever onwards
We stare into the dawn of a new world

[Pre-chorus]
Cry out for the fallen heroes
Lost in time ago
In our minds they still belong
When the sands of time are gone

[Chorus]
Rise over shadow mountains blazing with power
Crossing valleys endless tears in unity we stand
Far and wide across the land the victory is ours
On towards the gates of reason
Fight for the truth and the freedom
Gloria

Searching through the memories to open the door
Living on the edge of life like never before
And the ground chants under the moonlight facing their fears all the same

Heavens fear now open wide and up for the the call
All in stark reality the angels will fall
And the world cries out for the silence lost in the voices unknown

Blinded by the force of evil cries into the night
Never before have they seen the darkness now they are all gone
Out from the shadows storming on the wings of revelations
Your soul will feel no mercy come the dawn

Hold on for the morning after
Never to let go
In the fire's burning strong
When the tides of time roll on

[Chorus]

[Solos: Herman/Twin/Sam/Herman/Twin/Twin Blast/Herman/Sam/Herman/Sam]

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

Gloria

3. Storming The Burning Fields

Bursting through the fires avenging
Fatal warning battles are raging
Power of darkness rise for the fight
We'll be strong and stand our ground

Death is all around us and my heart is beating weaker
Fight the day with power of immortal souls arise
Fire in our hearts the evil rages on forever more
Burning until the battle rage is gone

Through damnation we rise sign of the times master of bleeding eyes
Thunder and high look to the sky you never gonna take us down!

[Chorus]
And we will cross the evil standing on the temple in the fire storming
Fly beyond the lost horizons high
Heroes of the night are calling
See the promised land is falling
Reaching for the powers deep inside
On through the night

Blinded by the hate and desire
Burning in your heart like a fire
Challenging all the suffer and fear our horizons take control
Blood spills all around us and our enemies draw nearer
Sacrifice your life to have them carry you away
Take us to the place of death and carry on forever more
Burning on the dreams of memories long gone!

And you'll die for your crimes sign of the times master of endless lies
Fight to the end now we ascend together we will take them down

[Chorus]

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Solos: Herman/Sam/Herman/Sam]

[Chorus]


4. Operation Ground And Pound

Smashing through the boundaries
Storming through the burning fields
Stand before the evil one on towards the morning sun
Falling under skies of pain

Still we're searching endlessly
Crashing over seven seas
Torturing the winter skies riding over plains of ice
Shadows in the fields of the slain!

Crashing steel and raging fury smash the quest destroy their army
Crush the legions of the twilight, templars of steel will burn

Cry far away as we reach for the day
Blasting our way through the punishment and the pain
Reach for the world as the sky begins to fall
Rising through the darkened ashes praying that I'll see you all

[Chorus:]
Far away will our eyes now see the day
For today, the everlasting eternal sun
Washed away the dreams of a brighter day
Forever hold the dream inside the chance to fight another fight
The breaking hearts that stand for all our lives
Live tonight

Watch you die I watch you die inside while fear controls your life
And reject this animosity that killed so many minds
You feel the power deep within the fear you hold inside
Just to find the reason for the treason now you will be mine

Screams of pain in death descending rise again from hell defending
Burn their hearts within the fire, warriors of light will be slain

Rise through the pain like the sun will rise again
Day after day but the memories never change
Stand before the storm as the last horizon falls
Blinded by the vision and the innocence of our souls

[Chorus]

[Solos: Sam/Herman/Sam]

Far away will our eyes now see the day
For today the everlasting eternal sun

[Chorus]

WO...

[Solo: Herman]


5. Body Breakdown

Silent screams and shattered dreams of what we left at seventeen
Still lost within the misery and pain that lies inside
Here alone the fight to breathe still searching for the truth to be
Blackened by the burning fire held deep inside my mind!

Far beyond the lost horizon standing on the shore
Across the seas their hearts will bleed this life we're waiting for
Taste the steel in pain you kneel for glory we defend
Our fallen souls will rise to fight again!

Stay here with me this night we'll be together
Future in our hands we'll fight with freedom drawing near
Stand here with me for we will live forever
Tonight we stand and face it all

Falling rain will hide the pain that lies beneath the burning flames
All hope is gone so carry on before the world will fall
Rise again to die in vain now life can never be the same
Our own salvation drawing nearer hear the darkness call

Skies are falling thunder storming stand before the world
We're banished now to barren wastelands fight the demon whore
Riding on through blackened darkness cross the endless sands
We sail away our victory at hand!

Stay here with me together we'll be stronger
Side by side we've conquered lands and stormed across the seas

Die here with me we feel this pain no longer
For now and ever we will be

[Chorus:]
In my heart, in my soul, I am out of control
Fly across the mountains and towards the distant sun
Tears evermore we cry like before
Feel the breakdown of my body - set me free

[Solo: Sam]

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Solo: Herman / Sam / Vadim]

[Super Bridge]

[Solo: Sam/Vadim/Herman]

In my heart in my soul I am out of control
Fly across the mountains and towards the distant sun
Tears evermore, we cry like before
Feel the breakdown of my body
In my heart in my soul I am out of control
Fly across the mountains and towards the distant sun
Tears evermore, we cry like before
Feel the breakdown of my body
Feel the breakdown of my body
Set me free


6. Cry For Eternity

Falling from the sky now, the sign of the burning sun
Into the face of the evil one
Nowhere to hide now we're on the run right before your eyes

We're watching, we're waiting, our souls are forsaken
The sign of the warriors, the evil will rise

Through the fire and the flames, breaking the chains
Into the night we go
Torment and pain trample the slain
Soldiers of death we know

[Pre-chorus]
Our steel will shine forever through the night and blinding rain!
We'll see them face their fears; it's time to rise again in everlasting pain

[Chorus]
Fly free for what we believe
One thousands hearts bleeding the eternal dream
Feel me the touch we all need
So silently now we will kneel
Cry for eternity

See now the fallen will live again
They feel the pain burn inside of them
Remember now what you feel again deep down inside
Still cursing still crawling we're endlessly falling
The downfall of mankind the fate of us all

Hold your hands to the sky bleed and you cry
Screaming until we know
Dying in pain again and again
Onwards to hell below

Stand strong we'll live together raging through the barren lands
Our eyes have seen the sorrow far across the sands
The power in our hands

[Chorus]

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Solos: Sam/Sam/Sam/Herman/Herman]

Fly far away to the end of our days
The voices of long distant cries
Now we remain in this labyrinth of pain
And so we ride into the night

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

Cry for eternity

[Solos: Sam/Herman]


7. The Flame Of Youth

Close your eyes hear the thunder and rain
Fear inside of the torturing pain
For the cries of the world and the last lives remain

Chain your heart swear to die for their gain
Deep inside slowly fading away
And the last breathe remains and the fear turns to rage

Locked in a world by the fallen evil souls
Torn right apart for your life insane
Burning in my mind now to bring my life to hold
Reach out and die in the flames
See through the lies and their ever staring eyes
Now is the time to defend your ground
Destiny will call to remind us all now
Fly free so far from here
This life we know will end
In dreams of everlasting pain
The fallen now rise again

Through the fire, through the flames Like the sun will rise again
Lost in time
Lost in space
To the end of all their days

See their endless ways insanity
The quest deranged not meant to be
In flames will now forever burn eternally

[Chorus]
So free your heart leave your life far behind
In the cold of winter skies escape the pain inside
Now feel your soul lost in seas of all eternity
Everyday this life, defending and the flames of youth not ending
In a lifetime, searching, we must fight through the eternal pain

So alone in the world far away,
memories of a dream will remain
As the world's falling cold and our lives all in vain

Fire in my soul will forever rise again
Nothing in my mind to remember now
Broken by the fear of the dark night calling
Ride free on endless seas
The final curtain falls
Cut the ground from down below
The time to lock and to load

Through the fire, through the rain,
far across the distant plains
Feel the wind beneath the steel
as your mind becomes insane
Save the pain from all humanity,
their rides trough our destiny
For freedom now we rise for all again

[Chorus]

[Solos: Herman/Sam/Vadim/Herman/Sam]

So free your heart leave your life far behind
In the cold of winter skies escape the pain inside
And when the memories are all but left behind
And the days have gone forever, lost within my mind
Now feel your soul burn in seas of all eternity
Every day of this life defending and the flames of youth not ending
In a lifetime searching we must fight through the eternal pain

We fight through the eternal pain


8. Trail Of Broken Hearts

Here we are far beyond the distant sky
Seen all the world and how the story will be over
Through the snow and tainted mountains we have climbed
Now we have found the light that guides us over
Through the fallen rain we travelled far and wide
And through the blackest darkness
Stars above shining bright

Through the sun and winter rain will fall
All our lives we all were waiting for a sign to call
We're walking hand in hand in dreams and endless time
How do we know when we will leave this life behind?

Stare at life through eyes of mine
the hate the fear and the pain
There's a feeling held deep inside - when life you live is in vain

[Chorus]
Fly away down the lonely roads of yesterday
We close your eyes to see the light of brighter days
And all alone we'll be where time can never heal
With the trail of broken hearts flying free

Once again we walk this lonely road
There are times that we are wading through the rain and cold
We're lost in memories of what we left behind
Relive the dreams, the endless screams of pain inside

Lives are filled with emptiness
The fear returned once again
Searching endlessly you cannot see
Drown your mind in the pain

[Chorus]

The last temptation will be all that's left for me

When I see those tears you cry
When I hear those lies you lie
When I see your creation now falling down on me
Is this the reason to be?

[Solos: Sam/Herman/Sam]

[Chorus]

The trail of broken hearts flying free


9. Lost Souls In Endless Time

[Bonus Track]

Spend all our lives
On what we believe in
Struggle day by day
But never retrieving
Taking our chances
And follow the footsteps
Ancestors will take us to this fight
At the time it was blistering snowing

Never really know about
Where we were going
Time is coming now
To cross over
Here and now until
The curtain lowers

Slaying all the evil down below
Onwards we ride now
To what we know
Strong enough to stay
And carry on forever
Brace your soul
To fight whenever

Never know how far we travelled
We will have our stand
Across the deepest oceans
Gold is in our hands
Good things will come
For those who wait we can't deny
Still the battle raging and the fire burns inside

Take you with me, we will fly across the sea
To the land of the sun where our journeys begun
All fear is gone, we sail until the dawn
Deepest fears will burn inside your mind
For the souls lost in endless time

Searching never ending
For the chaos ascending
You forgot the spirits
All times pretending
Passing shades of darkness
In the world around you
Finally insanity
In death has found you.

On the edge of life
Trying to pull you under
Deep inside the storm
There's a raging thunder
Sacrifice your innocence
For persecution
As we now prepare
For the revolution

Slaying all the evil down below
Onwards we ride now
To what we know
Strong enough to stay
And carry on forever
Brace your soul
To fight whenever

In a time of fire we're searching
Blind inside the mind
Run away to hell's damnation
One day we will find
Suddenly the skies are falling
Too late for us all
Crashing down on all creation
As the towers fall

Take you with me, we will fly across the sea
To the land of the sun where our journeys begun
All fear is gone, we sail until the dawn
Deepest fears will burn inside your mind
For the souls lost in endless time

[Solos: Vadim / Key Blast]

Stand Before the worlds of freedom
Rise above them all
Ride towards the battle raging
Victory behold
Blackened Steel of death tonight
Our legions now descend
Far Beyond the gates of glory
Time to rise again

[Solos: Sam / Herman / Sam / Herman]

Take you with me, we will fly across the sea
To the land of the sun where our journeys begun
All fear is gone, we sail until the dawn
Deepest fears will burn inside your mind

Take you with me, we will fly across the sea
To the land of the sun where our journeys begun
All fear is gone, we sail until the dawn
Deepest fears will burn inside your mind

For the souls lost in endless time
For the souls lost in endless time
For the souls lost in endless time

1. My Spirit Will Go On

Life is a misery, don't know how it's come to be
Death, the epitome of all of our days
In the past we had no choice to hear or to be the voice
Close your eyes and visualize the demon to arise

You know that sanity is not as it was meant to be
And now that misery has taken a new stand
In the land of a thousand souls we will carry on through the rain
In the sun we will move along with the memories of the slain
When I see this humanity and the evil that they have come to be
We've come to the point of no return and you beg for just...

One more time to escape from all this madness
One more time to be set free from all this sadness
And one last time to be the one who understands
My soul and my spirit will go on, for all of eternity

Foreign the currency, your payment in blood to be
Death is the destiny for all of our ways
In the dark you hide away for who or what you can't say
When I see the power of the demon come alive

You know that sanity is not as it was meant to be
And now that misery has taken a new stand
On the wings of eagles flying staring on to the sun
Reaching for the gold horizon when the war shall be won
Can you see the debauchery and the blade of death that has come for thee
In winds of torment forever more you will cry for just...

One more time to escape from all this madness...



2. Fury Of The Storm

We are riding for the battle field in force tonight
Fury of the darkest evil cry for war
Far beyond the boundaries of hell and starlight
On the road to lands unknown forever more

Through the caverns far below our quest will lead us
Onwards through the ice and snow forever more
Standing fighting full of hate the time has come now
Stand and sound the guns of glory cry for war

On wings of glory we will carry on
Far across the forgotten lands toward the distant sun
And in the darkness shining far beyond the starlight
Lightning is striking from the dark dawning shadows
And in the kingdom of the everlasting sun
When the glory of the master's time has come

Into the fires of forever we will fly through the heavens
With the power of the universe we stand strong together
Through the force of power, it will soon reach the hour
For victory we ride, Fury of the Storm!

We are the chosen ones we cannot fail now
Spilling all the blood on the fires below
Smashing through the boundaries with the fire and fury
Killing all the mortals down the winding road

Hell fires are raging the storm growing strong
On the path to victory towards the distant sun
And in the darkness shining far beyond the starlight
Lightning is striking from the dark dawning shadows
And in the kingdom of the everlasting sun
When the glory of the master's time has come

Into the fires of forever we will fly through the heavens
With the power of the universe we stand strong together
Trough the forced of power, it will soon reach the hour
For victory we ride, Fury of the Storm!



3. Fields Of Despair

Can you feel the pain inside sometimes in my mind?
In the land of loneliness the seas of blood run cold
Is the feeling lost inside within the sins of all mankind?
Time after time we stood united on we go

Fly far away don't let the world pass you by
Live for the day when we must stand and survive
Now we face the judgment day our souls will feel the pain
Hear the screams of my world through the rain

Silent fields of despair my tears in the rain
Pain in my heart bleeding through
One day we'll be back for one moment in time
Endlessly searching for you...

Who can cure my emptiness inside for this time?
Suffering from loneliness my dreams and hopes will die
No more feelings left inside my blackened heart I cannot hide
Time after time our souls divided on we cry

Fly far away don't leave your own past behind
Live for the day another year passes by
Now we turn to face our fear there's nothing more to say
Still your dreams and my nightmares remain

Silent fields of despair my tears in the rain...


4. Dawn Over A New World

In the darkness of the night in the shadows of the dawn
It's turning black no looking back the sands of time are sown
When the day will slowly end and the sun has turned to grey
Will we feel the power of freedom with the dawn of a new day?

Over mountains paved with gold and through the valleys of the slain
Our quest will lead us onwards to the journey of the brave
When the time has come to stand for the power we believe
We will ring the sound of victory for one and all to see

Sometimes in your darkest dreams you will feel the haunting pain
Silent tears of your hidden fears come to haunt you once again
Fight on for the memories of the everlasting dream
Their in the silent lands on wings of glory free
We can go on forever with the darkness so far away
And the warriors who live forever fight on to the end

Across the highest mountains and through the endless seas
Our journey ever onwards fight until we all be free
Through the darkness shining the never ending light
On through the days of glory rise towards the fight

And one day we will find a way toward this distant golden age
The cries of war will sound the day
We stand before the dawn of a new world

On through the raging thunder across the seven seas
Cold winter skies are falling on the battles we have seen

[Solos - Herman / Sam]

We can go on forever with the darkness so far away
And the warriors who live forever fight on to the end

Across the highest mountains and through the endless seas...


5. Above The Winter Moonlight

On wings of burning fire across the oceans far
The legends of the seven seas and mystic fallen star
Their laden ships are sailing on towards the sun
To the island of the everlasting chosen one

Face our fear along the way our freedom will prevail
The crown and the shining light
Punishment and anger in the fire of your soul
Prepare the eternal fight

Lost in a dream in a boundless sea
Rivers of pain are guiding me
Defending this land from the sins of man
Never surrender our dreams again

Ride forever onwards stare into the sun
Where hopes and dreams are everlasting marching on and on
Rise another day across the distant skies
Where the dawn above the winter moonlight shines upon the fall of our lives

Insanity sublime shall make by bleeding heart
Feel cold and fearless anger rising far beyond the dark
In search of might and wisdom sacrifice our souls
In the name of truth and justice never to be told

Face our fear along the way our freedom will prevail
The crown and the shining light
Punishment and anger in the fire of your soul
Prepare the eternal fight
Can you not feel the eternal pain
Flows through your heart and every vein
The torture begins and it breaks you down
Nothing to save when the soul is gone

Ride forever onwards stare into the sun...



6. Soldiers Of The Wasteland

Burning fires, burning lives
On the long distant roads
Through the lost mountains endless
So far away from home

Crossing battles savage seas towards the mountains high
Forest plains of wilderness we're striking out tonight
On towards our destiny we travel far and wide
Journey through the darkness as your hearts refuse to die

In the flames of hell we fire at will the fires of doom has come
With the forces of the blackest knights they're staring at the sun
Far across the distant plains of ice we're searching for the sword
When the time has come for the battle now we follow with the horde

We will ride with fire burning hot towards the night sky
In the land of long ago forever in our souls
Fly on wings of shining steel are burning so bright
In ancient lands of warriors we're riding on again

Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads
Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home
Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago
We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home

Fallen soldiers taste the steel of death the daylight dawning
Sun will shine upon the lives of burning hearts of ice
As you break through the boundaries of life this feeling of despair
And they die in their sleep for the world that will not care
You feel lost in this labyrinth of pain this sickening dismay
There's a voice inside that's calling another wasted day

Can't you see the history the suffocating madness
In the land of fallen souls there's nowhere left no place to go
I have traveled far and wide across the wasteland
Still searching for the answers for the right to understand

Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads...

Riding through the starlight and smashing the boundaries as hellfire falls from the sky
A shadow of pain will arise from the ashes of those fallen ones who have died
Our only master with fire and fury of hell will see his bidding done
Blasting from high as the battle unfolds to the gates of the city we come


7. Prepare For War

I hear a distant thunder
They say bow down surrender
Witnessing our demise and the sins of our land
Why can't we see from under?
Dark reign of our defenders
Endlessly torturing the souls without stand

Fight now let's break the chains
So strong we must feel the pain
Forever torn apart from the haunting hears of my heart

Rage and fear from skies above the fire fuels my veins
Destruction of humanity the everlasting flame
Cast away no turning back from long forgotten shores
We'll show no mercy as they fall
The fire burns inside now prepare for war!

You fear the pain no longer
Daylight your heart be stronger
Don't even sense the burning hunger inside
Ride out with force and valor
In memory forever
Towards the battering and rise of the tide

Stand now and break the chains
In unity we feel no pain
Forever torn apart from the haunting fears of my heart

Rage and fear from skies above the fire fuels my veins...

[Solo - Herman, Solos - Sam / Herman]

Looking around there's no fear in your heart
For I know you will never surrender
Everyone here raise their eyes to the sky
Now with strength and honor we fight
PREPARE FOR WAR!

[Solos - Sam / Herman / Sam]

Rage and fear from skies above the fire fuels my veins...


8. Once In A Lifetime

Dark clouds and thunderstorms in the fires and flames were born
Through darkness traveling on the night
Hellfires and rain will fall, time is coming for us all
Our journey for the guiding light

Firelight it is burning so bright in the dark of the night
As we fight for the glory tonight there's nowhere to hide
On the wings of your destiny brings all the power you crave
Careful now if not you then who else will we save

Lost in this world total stranger
Death by the sword a common danger
You know that everything is not what it seems
March on all night forever searching
Daylight ahead is coming again
Break through the walls and use the power of your dreams

Once in a lifetime take a chance at the right time the glory to see
Rise up for the time of your life
Now the time has come for you to be free

In the minds of society we all live in harmony
Truth is that we all die in vain
You stand for what you believe
I kill for what I conceive
Is there then a title for this game?

Far away in the wastelands of hell full of torment and pain
Demon knights riding over the heights where the fallen are slain
Violent fury of firestorming death now no life will prevail
Now you live all your days in the fires of hell

Lost in this world total stranger
Death by the sword a common danger
You know that everything is not what it seems
March on all night forever searching
Daylight ahead coming again
Break through the walls and use the power of your dreams

Once in a lifetime take a chance at the right time the glory to see
Rise up for the time of your life
Now the time has come for you to be free


9. Cry Of The Brave

Since the darkness took our minds
They burned our courage many died
Had to leave it all behind rebuild our lives
Passing memories remained
It made my soul a burning flame
Haunted dreams of my desire
Reveal my name

Raise our swords we fight for life
Shields and armor shining bright
Strike like dragons we have no fear
Our swords are made of steel

[Chorus:]
Fly across the high seas and mountains
Rise above the golden horizon
Far away beyond the gates of space and time
Through the wastelands forever and on
Still we fight on for our freedom
The cry of the fallen souls bleeding
Forever journey through the lands of ice and snow
Will we face all the fears of the world?
The cry of the brave

Since the time we saw the sign
Destruction of your feeble mind
Centuries have come and gone but nothing's changed
Hopes and dreams have disappeared
Destruction of your kind is near
Trapped inside your suffering eternal flame

Search the darkness search the light
Fierce resistance what a fight
Glory for unholy seal
Lies all cast in steel

[Chorus]

[Solos - Herman / Sam / Herman / Sam]

In the depths of your desire
So secretly you feed the fire
Burning through the memories of all our lives
Watch the day turn into night
You reach out for that guiding light
First to be the one to hear their blinding lies

Fear of darkness fear of light
Sucked in by their ancient might
Ruthless in what you may feel
When your mind they steal

[Chorus]

2. Valley Of The Damned

On a cold dark winter night hidden by the stormy light
A battle rages for the right for what will become
In the valley of the damned a warrior with sword in hand
Travels fast across the land for freedom he rides

And the sign from the master on high screams aloud and across hear the cry
For the kingdom of fire and ice and the power to be alive
Be strong ride on, carry on through the war
Come along carry on, living for ever more

On the wings of death by the hands of doom
By the darkest light from the darkest moon
Crossing silent seas over mountains high
For we stand as one tonight

On the black wind forever we ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom our guide
When the master will storm us
He'll stand high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light

In the valley of the damned
Days breaks with golden strand
Over pastures green it glows
To where night returns

In the shadows faces appear
Warriors wearing full metal gear
All join together one and all
Before the glorious light

Rise up, gather around
Come and hear what is said
Use your senses open your mind
Don't you ever forget

On the wings of life, by the hands of hope
By the brightest light from the brightest sun
Crossing silent seas over mountains high
To the valley of the damned

On the black wind forever we ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom our guide
When the master will storm us
He'll stand high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light

On the black wind forever we ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom our guide
When the master will storm us
He'll stand high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light

The black wind forever we ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom our guide
When the master will storm us
He'll stand high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light

The black...


3. Black Fire

We come from...
Over the dark horizon sky
With twisted tales of sacrifice
To imagine or believe all the glory of the free

Hunting all day an endless cry
The things I've seen I can't deny
Sinners, saints all mixed in one
The dawn of time has begun

Why can't you see what they're doing to me
Is it fair that I'm dying in vain

Once in a land of sacrifice now only valleys of demise
Shadows of a pale blue moonlight ride the waves of entity

Why can't you see what they're doing to thee
Is it fair that you all die in vain

Ride with the steel and the power of the sword
Stand up and fight now and forever more
Rise through the night sky with daylight's desire
To be free there must be black fire

Through the day and through the night with dragons heart the warrior strikes
This is the day that they'll be known as my enemy

Why can't you see what they're doing
To what we believe in we rise through the pain

Ride with the steel and the power of the sword
Stand up and fight now and forever more
Rise through the night sky with daylight's desire
To be free there must be black fire

We come from distant lands we travel so far
Can you see the bleeding scar
The prizes of life we fail to win
Cause we doubt the power within

Why can't you see what they're doing to
What we believe in we rise through the pain

Ride with the steel and the power of the sword
Stand up and fight now and forever more
Rise through the night sky with daylight's desire
To be free there must be black fire

Black fire...


4. Black Winter Night
Day after day as I bodies slay
And the sun becomes dark in the sky
Everything's lost for this human race
And the dawn of a new age will rise

Rays of sunlight now are gone
Only visions of ice will remain
The fallen ones and forgotten souls
Will rise up over the slain

No more hope as we raise our hands to the sky
No more dreams as the rivers run dry

Everything's lost all is left astray
Only sorrow and sadness remains
Curtains have dropped on our fallen world
And the forces of darkness shall rise

Why can't you see what has happened to thee
Can you not open your eyes
Everything's lost there is no retreat
And the valleys echo with pain

No more hope as we raise our hands to the sky
No more dreams as the rivers run dry

On the endless sea of madness we sail forever more
And the endless tears of sadness towards the distant shores
When the flame has died forever we stand one and all
With the power of the almighty sword

We fight the battle on the fields tonight
To save us from the master of all evil sign
And to the battle on forever standing strong
We feel the fire power of the night warriors

No more tomorrow
Dying of sorrow
Over the mountains and up through the trees
Traveling across seven seas

No more hope as we hold our hands to the sky
No more dreams as the rivers run dry

On the endless seas of madness we sail forever more
And the endless tears of sadness towards the distant shores
When the flame has died forever we stand one and all
With the power of the almighty sword

We fight the battle on the fields tonight
To save us from the master of all evil sign
And to the battle on forever standing strong
We feel the fire power of the night warriors

On the endless seas of madness we sail forever more
And the endless tears of sadness towards the distant shores
When the flame has died forever we stand one and all
With the power of the almighty sword

We'll fight the battle on the fields tonight
To save us from the master of all
We fight the battle on the fields tonight
To save us from the master of all evil sign

And to the battle on
Forever standing strong
We feel the fire
Power of the night warriors

The power of the night warriors...


5. Starfire

Outside on a winter's night as the rain begins to fall
There's a chill in the air and the howl of a wolf while the rain beats at the door
Seven kings will ride on the wind up towards the mountains high
And the only sound that will break the air is the warrior's bitter cry

When the dawn of a new day will see the light then the strongest hearts grow old
And the warrior stands on top of the hill in the snow

Dark night with a glimmering light in the distance up ahead
In the forest they dwell with a misty spell no one heard what once was said
And the eagle fly through the clouds while earth bleeds dark and cold
When the voices of men will ring out again all creation shall unfold

When the colour of night will fade to light and the weakest hearts go cold
And the warrior stands on top of the hill in the snow

And we're standing one and all fighting till we fall
Hoping for a better day never giving in
Until we find the words till we find the words to say
Until we find the words to say

Burning starfire shine in the sky
For the lives of great men who stand by your side
When the night fall on we will ride
For no lost souls will live on forever

Dark night on the valley below still the horsemen follow through
It's a forest that leads to the foot of the hill that inside the magic holds
Seven strong they ride on along to the place where sorrow lies
And the shadows of the night will no longer hide all their mysteries come undone

When the colour of night will fade to light and the weakest hearts go cold
And the warrior stands on top of the hill in the snow

And we're standing one and all fighting till we fall
Hoping for a better day never giving in
Until we find the words till we find the words to say
Until we find the words to say

Burning starfire shine in the sky
For the lives of great men who stand by your side
When the night fall on we will ride
For no lost souls will live on forever

And we're standing one and all fighting till we fall
Hoping for a better day never giving in
Until we find the words till we find the words to say
Until we find the words to say

Burning starfire shine in the sky
For the lives of great men who stand by your side
When the night fall on we will ride
For no lost souls will live on forever

For lost souls will live on forever...


6. Disciples Of Babylon

Can you imagine that it's all up to you
Evil embrace of powers unnatural
You're left in silence nothing more to behold
You close your eyes and visualize the day you'll get away

It's here
It's near
I see it all so clear
Tonight your flight will take you higher

It's here
It's near
You live a life of fear
Tonight is the night that will inspire

Crying alone at night your destiny unknown
You're every being full of rage and hate
Seems like you're running but you just can not hide
It's in a raging fear all solitude is left behind

It's here
It's near
I see it all so clear
Tonight your flight will take you higher

It's here
It's near
You live a life of fear
Tonight is the night that will inspire

Can he comfort thee and fill your life with ecstasy
Through the darkness and the pain
Will you be the ones again
Disciples of Babylon

It's here
It's near
I see it all so clear
Tonight your flight will take you higher

It's here
It's near
You live a life of fear
Tonight is the night that will inspire

Can he comfort thee and fill your life with ecstasy
Through the darkness and the pain
Will you be the ones again
Disciples of Babylon

It's here
It's near
I see it all so clear
Tonight your flight will take you higher

It's here
It's near
You live a life of fear
Tonight is the night that will inspire

Can he comfort thee and fill your life with ecstasy
Through the darkness and the pain
Will you be the ones again
Disciples of Babylon


7. Revelations

Coming down the mountain on high
Towards the battle we go side by side
Our hearts are filled with honour and pride
Cause we know our time has come

Silent voices down from below
Rising up through the ice and the snow
Ancient angers cast upon all
Through the land of the slain

Through the dark night through the rain
Fighting machine we are risen again
Striving forever more
We will survive

Stand and fight join the light
Into the battle with power and might
Sound the guns
Raise the cannons of war

With the north star to guide us we ride on the sky
Blazing up through the heavens like eagles we fly
And the horsemen shall come they will judge all your lives
Revelations will now be unveiled

Darkened night set to swallow the light
All is lost there's no one left to fight
Overpowered by the glory and might
Of the ones who stand tall

Fallen heroes scattered around
Deafened ears opens up to the sound
Painful cries rising forever more
Through the victims of life and of war

Through the dark night through the rain
Fighting machine we are risen again
Striving forever more
We will survive

Stand and fight join the light
Into the battle with power and might
Sound the guns
Raise the cannons of war

With the north star to guide us we ride on the sky
Blazing up through the heavens like eagles we fly
And the horsemen shall come they will judge all your lives
Revelations will now be unveiled

No more hope of freedom
Our dreams are washed away
The second age is coming
It's the dawn of a new day

Judgement stands before us
The second king will rise
Our swords will shine with honour
Hatred fills the sky

Hatred fills the sky...

With the north star to guide us we ride on the sky
Blazing up through the heavens like eagles we fly
And the horsemen shall come they will judge all your lives
Revelations will now be

With the north star to guide us we ride on the sky
Blazing up through the heavens like eagles we fly
And the horsemen shall come they will judge all your lives
Revelations will now

Revelations will now
Revelations will now be unveiled


8. Evening Star

We will sail on
Forever on to the land of the evening star

Into the endless we ride unveil the darkness behind
Abandoned glory hidden castaway we ride
Now will the sky surrender forever through the never
A silent whisper echoes through my restless heart tonight

I will see the glory rise
We'll be one tonight
Don't you shut your eyes in silence
Tonight gather near, come and live your fear

In a land of desire your heart filled with fire
You live for the right to be free

We will sail on
Forever on to the land of the evening star
In a land of desire your heart filled with fire
The land of the evening star

Now and forever after
Asylums filled with laughter
Suspicion haunts my dreams
An echo through my mind

This starlit gaze reminds me
Are you so blind you can't see
The winds of change my friend
Will blow for you in the dead night

I will see glory rise
We'll be one tonight
Don't you shut your eyes in silence
Tonight gather near, come and live your fear

In a land of desire your heart filled with fire
You live for the right to be free

We will sail on
Forever on to the land of the evening star
In a land of desire your heart filled with fire
The land of the evening star

In a land of desire your heart filled with fire
You live for the right to be free

We will sail on
Forever on to the land of the evening star
In a land of desire your heart filled with fire
The land of the evening star


9. Heart Of The Dragon

Proud and so glorious standing before of us
Our swords will shine bright in the sky
When united we come to the land of the sun
With the heart of a dragon we ride

We are flying on wings in winter sky with fire burning deep inside
We are warriors of endless time forever and on
On wings of steel an ancient flight we see the powers that unite
The gods will now send us a sign of battle once more

Through the valley we ride full of glory we soar
Where the fights will be raging for now and for more
When united we come and divided they fall
Tonight you will witness it all

Proud and so glorious standing before of us
Our swords will shine bright in the sky
When united we come to the land of the sun
With the heart of a dragon we ride

A land unknown we come so far
We ride the night till morning star
When colours fade to black and white
Your eyes come to sight

With the vision of a great divide
You turn towards the other side
You think you run but you can't hide
The dead can not ride

Through the valley we ride full of glory we soar
Where the fights will be raging for now and for more
When united we come and divided they fall
Tonight you will witness it all

Proud and so glorious standing before of us
Our swords will shine bright in the sky
When united we come to the land of the sun
With the heart of a dragon we ride

Over high seas and mountains
We fly to the heavens on wings of a dragon tonight

Proud and so glorious standing before of us
Our swords will shine bright in the sky

Proud and so glorious standing before of us
Our swords will shine bright in the sky
When united we come to the land of the sun
With the heart of a dragon

The heart of a dragon
The heart of a dragon we ride


10. Where Dragons Rule

[Bonus Track]

Full the moon and midnight sky
Through the dark they ride
Warriors of forever will sacrifice the night

One for all and all for one
The future time has come
Faces filled with torment
Your heart beats like a drum

Never you will surrender
You'll fight on 'til the end
Together we will be strong again
Forever...

In this land we have defended from all things dark and cruel
Now we are defenseless in a land where dragons rule

In this land we have defended from all things dark and cruel
Now we are defenseless in a land where dragons rule

Flash of steel in the mid-day sun
The battle has begun
Blood spills all around us but still we carry on

No mercy we will show to them
The white flag shall be raised
We'll fight for our freedom
Ride towards this evil place

We all stand until the end allegiance to this game

In this land we've defended from all things dark and cruel
Now we're defenseless in a land where dragons rule

In this land we've defended from all things dark and cruel
Now we're defenseless in a land where dragons rule

Sun set in the western sky
The battle's almost done
The victory will be glorious
Our enemies are gone

We all stand until the end allegiance to this game

In this land we've defended from all things dark and cruel
Now we're defenseless in a land where dragons rule

In this land we've defended from all things dark and cruel
Now we're defenseless in a land where dragons rule

[Solo]

In this land we've defended from all things dark and cruel
Now we're defenseless in a land where dragons rule [3x]
