1. This Will Never End
Once upon a time
No more words to say
Find me in the circle
Find me in the end
I am the soul collector
Dressed in ebony
There are no rules
But only one
There's someone young sister,
Caught at the border
Let's get in contact
He's either yours or mine
I have thought
That this will never end
And things go on
But nothing will last
Only the fool in me believes
There is sense in it
In distant shores of green
It's over now
Far out in space
I ride on
Time is chasing us all
It's not quite how it seems
It's just a dream
I don't believe
In a soul or in god
It's just twisted
Further
You do not understand:
Each single breath inspires you
Come to an end - expire
Rise up my sister
Let's cross the border
Reveal the secret
One more soul to burn
I have thought
That this will never end
And things go on
But nothing will last
Only the fool in me believes
There is sense in it
In distant shores of green
It's over now
You finally have approached
Still
There is something left to do:
Draw me and prove
Your souls not ripe, yet!
Prepare yourself then wait for me
Expect the day when I come by
You're released now
For a while you may feel
Resurrection
Open your eyes
The vision's bleak
And its color is black
Far beyond
There's a starving
But dying sun
I have thought
That this will never end
And things go on
But nothing will last
Only the fool in me believes
There is sense in it
In distant shores of green
It's over now
2. Otherland
They rule the land
They are in command
They hold all strings in hand
They are invisible
Out of sight
They've designed
A secret place
To play their games
A world they're in control
Divine law
Divine law
Be aware
Now
Mind your steps
We are uninvited guests
They may find and catch us
Don't forget
Do what I say
Now connect
Don't even ask
Until we're out of it
Everything's at highest stake
Come take a look
We are in
Take a breath
Don't forget
It isn't real
It isn't true
An illusion
Nothing more
You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind
Oblivion
Is your key to the Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
By now you understand
You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind
Oblivion
You're welcome to the
Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
By now you understand
We get closer
There's no better way
Lullaby Lane
Fate is on its way
The inner district
Is the place you need to know
It's overwhelming
So let's rest here for a while
Someone else appears
Silently
Watch me when I fall down
Everything seems real
Suddenly
A perfect simulation
Come take a look
Breathe it in
Artificial wonderlands
We are wandering around
Things shall vanish
They won't last
Now I know
You understand
This world is not true
Nothing is real
Nothing at all
It's bits and pieces
We walk through
You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind
Oblivion
Is your key to the Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
By now you understand
You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind
Oblivion
You've reached the promised land
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
Welcome to the Otherland
Wait
I can feel things are not right
Do not breathe
Don't look behind
There's someone else
The observer
A trick of light
A fading line
The entrance is gone
We can't get out of it
We are slightly losing ground
Quick
It is time
We shall go
We better leave
And don't come back
No way to run
Nowhere to hide
I fear
We're walking aimlessly
You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind
Oblivion
Is your key to the Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
By now you understand
You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind
Oblivion
Welcome to the Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
You've reached
The promised land
You've crossed the line
You've reached the end
3. Turn the Page
Come tell
We're here to praise your name
Blazing sun and the bitter death
Now the guardian cross the gate
Wake up!
There is a new dawning
Wake up!
The witches wait
For you remember the mirror
When she looked in
You were born
(Were) A boy in a middle of night
There's nobody else
There's nothing at all
Suns and dawn
There's a cry in the air
[The heart one dies
When you were ever there]
Turn the wheel again!
A new beginning
Another end
Cried out
The land needs blood
Inside the ring you're waiting
Give up yourself and your life
It's time up for you
Come turn the wheel
There's nothing to feel
Come turn the wheel
Come turn the page
Oh, come turn the page
[Solo 1]
We do not believe in lies
Do not believe in lies
Then someone came
Someone came
Your alone and strong
The end of world
Now everything should move
When the new day begins
God of wind and god of rain
Turn the wheel
You better beware
From now this day will sing for you
The life will bless the child
[Realize] him
Supervise him
We will be with you until the end
Come move our hearts
We know there is life beyond the death
Cried out
We cry for blood
Come right up here and join us
Come guide us now
Time is out
It's time up for you
Come turn the wheel
There's nothing to feel
Come turn the wheel
Come turn the page
Oh, come turn the page
[Solo 2]
A new beginning
Another end
The myth of life
Your heart in your hand
We cried out
The land needs blood
The change of season
Praise to the newborn king!
Na, na, na, nanananana!
Na, na, na, nanananana!
Na, na, na, nanananana!
It's time up for you
Come turn the wheel
There's nothing to feel
Come turn the wheel
Come turn the page
Oh, come turn the page
4. Fly
Stop, be quiet now
Out with the light and,
Then up and down it goes
Fly
Out with the light
There at the door,
The inspiration I've looked for,
Spirit of the youth appears
No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
It's make believe, make believe
No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
One day it all will come to life
Step out of light and
I'll teach you how to fly then
Away we go
Leave your mark
leave your mark in the land of mine.
The second one to the right
and then, straight on until morning light.
Stop, be quiet now
No irritation
No not the slightest doubt
We go at once
Quick - We better hurry,
There from the road I sense
Enough with thoughts and imaginations
These things will lift you up
What is it like? You ask me, my dear
Will there be fairies, or things to fear?
For very sake I'd say you'd better come with me so soon you see,
Now up and down it goes,
And round, round and round and round,
Praise to my cleverness, they all follow me,
All praise to innocence that's everything it needs,
Fly in
fly out
they leave it all behind
No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
It's make believe, make believe
No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
One day it will all come to life
Step out of light and
I'll teach you how to fly then
Away we go
Leave your mark, leave your mark in the land of mine
(Solo)
Life is a map and it is quite confusing
The lights are up now, let the play begin
She flies, she flies, into the light she flies
No words like "just" in mind
She's finding Neverland
There on the day she dies
Don't stop it now, she still enjoys the scene
Don't stop it now, don't stop it now, don't stop it now, don't stop it now, now, now
No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
It's make believe, make believe
No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
One day it will all come to life
Step out of light and
I'll teach you how to fly then
Away we go
Leave your mark, leave your mark in the land of mine
5. Carry the Blessed Home
Pale faced the innocent
Will drown in blood
Hurt and withdrawn
Don't dare to steal my grief
In this haze of green and gold
He's gone
Blind my eyes
And I still
Can see through the mist
To the very end
There I'll face
What I fear the most
Blind my eyes ...
But it all doesn't matter
Right now
I will bury my dead
And keep on
Til the end
I won't give up
I won't give up
I'll turn
To the "red fields of none"
There's a grave
There's a rose
Drift away
I can hear me say
Soon you all shall be free
Carry the blessed home
No one's left here but me
And I will sing out your name
You call me insane, I know
I've opened my heart
And my soul to you son
So pale turns the innocent
And al I feel is pain
Suddenly I understand
He's gone
Blind my eyes
And I still
Can see through the mist
To the very end
There I'll face
What I fear the most
Blind my eyes
But it all doesn't matter
Right now
But it all doesn't matter
Right now
Carry the blessed home
No one's left here but me
And I will sing out your name
Driven insane?
No
What I feared the most
I have faced and that's truth
The grey faced is not innocent
Though I cry in dismay
I will follow decay
I'll move on
Is there anyone here
Who knows
How it feels to be wrong?
Blind my eyes
And I still
Can see through the mist
To there very end
There I'll face
What I fear the most
Blind my eyes ...
But it all doesn't matter
Right now
But it all doesn't matter
Right now
Matter right now
Matter right now
6. Another Stranger Me
A seed of doubt
It exists
And it grows
A glimpse of life
From somewhere deep within
Awake and understand
Is there anyone else here?
Somebody's screaming
Please help me
Let's find out now
That I am not dreaming
Welcome to my damnation
Here it comes the real me
I didn't know
I couldn't hear the answer
My mind was blank
I should've known
I hold it back but somehow
There is someone else
Another stranger me
Another stranger me
That's
When the ice
Will break away
I can't get out of here
Anymore
Cause none of my keys
Fit the door
There's fear and anger
Hate and love
I must confess
It's out of hand
It's physic
It's cynic
Still cynic
All my laughter
It's cynic
Just manic
It's cynic
All her laughter
If there's anyone in
It soon will be over
We'll burn out
Our soul's aflamed
And we're on our own now
Give up you cruel invasion
You're insane I'll show you
I didn't know
I couldn't hear the answer
My mind was blank
I should've known
I hold it back but somehow
There is someone else
Another stranger me
Another stranger me
Out and gone
Can't resist
Cold and sore
The bolt of pain
Keeps ripping through my head
I can take no more
Don't tell anyone else but I
Do not believe her
She hates me
I cloud my mind
She's a deceiver
I can feel cruel bivrations
Would you like to meet me
I didn't know
I couldn't hear the answer
My mind was blank
I should've known
I hold it back but somehow
There is someone else
Another stranger me
Another stranger me
7. Straight Through the Mirror
Can you tell me
Is there any other way?
I cannot hide it
I have doubts
I'm not afraid to stay
I'm here
When the curtain falls
Once I've touched the rainbow
The man on the moon will appear
I won't show fear
I turn to you, father death
I am begging you
Please
Consider
You may have been wrong
Just close your eyes now
Just close your eyes now
The end's a miracle
Dream on if you dare
Straight through the mirror
We'll sail on through the air
There's magic everywhere
Just be aware
Wake up when the crow will call
There is no truth
There are no rules,
There's no plot here
It's twisted
We're still on course
My friend
Down to the abyss - Orcus lane
Shelter of your memories
Shelter of your pain
The mirro shows truth
Reveals what you are
A phoenix in flames
Arise from the ashes again
We're on our way now
We're on our way now
We sail through miracles
Dream on if you dare
Straight through the mirror
We'll sail on through the air
I feel
There is something wrong
It's twisting and turning
When everything's burning
Awake
It's not safe
I'm coming down to you again
We'll sail on mircales and then
If you don't mind
I'll sing a song
A sort of lullaby this time
When you're asleep
I'm back again
A world of miracles in hand
If you don't mind
I'll sing a song
A sort of lullaby this time
We're on our way now
We're on our way now
The end's a miracle
Dream on if you dare
Straight through the mirror
We'll sail on through the air
There's magic everywhere
Just be aware
Wake up when the crow will call
Wake up when the crow will call
8. Lionheart
Just let me out of here
Speak to me
It all would be easier
I want to talk to you
Who is that?
Do I hear a whisper?
Or do I hear a cry?
Across the brown land
The stumps of time
Oh turn the wheel and heal me
Since moonlights fade
I'm empty - heal me
I'm in search of the Lionheart
I am ashamed
I myself can't make it
Drown Ulyssess
Drown here in the silence
Cause down to Hades I've gone
But I cannot get out
Down below
I can't free my mind
Soon I will fade away
Down below
I can't free my mind
Soon I will fade
"Tic Tac" is the message
And the lunatic fears
He is no more
Speak to me
It all would be easier
While I'm passing by
What's that?
Do I hear a whisper?
Or do I hear a cry?
Across the brown land
The ghost arrives
Pick up my bones and
Tell me
Is this the "Lake of Fire"?
Hell?
Please
I'm in search of the Lionheart
Nobody else
But the pure can save me
Drown Ulysess
Drown here in the silence
Cause down to Hades I've gone
But I cannot get out
Ruins rule my memories
I can't recall the signs
Invite the dead
Then silence struck my mind
Silence is madness
"Tic Tac Tic Tactic"
Says the clock
Just let me out of here
Speak to me
It all would be easier
I want to talk to you
Hear me
Welcome to this sad place
And hand me what is mine
I'm the Theban prophet
The dead and blind
And from the sea you'll feel me
Then you'll breath out gently
Leave me
I'm in search of the Lionheart
I am ashamed
I myself can't make it
Drown Ulyssess
Drown here in the silence
Cause down to Hades I've gone
But I cannot get out
9. Skalds and Shadows
Would you believe in a night like this?
A night like this, when visions come true
Would you believe in a tale like this
A lay of bliss, we're praising the old lore
Come to the blazing fire and
See me in the shadows
See me in the shadows
Songs i will sing
Of runes and rings
Just hand me my harp
And this night turns into myth
Nothing seems real
You soon will feel
The world we live in is another skald's
Dream in the shadows
Dream in the shadows
Do you believe there is sense in it
Is it truth or myth
They're one in my rhymes
Nobody knows the meaning behind
The weaver's line
Well nobody else but the Norns can
See through the blazing fires of time and
All things will procede as the child of the hallowed
Will speak to you now
See me in the shadows
See me in the shadows
Songs I will sing of tribes and kings
The carrion bird and the hall of the slain
Nothing seems real
You soon will feel
The world we live in is another skald's
Dream in the shadows
Dream in the shadows
Do not fear for my reason
There's nothing to hide
How bitter your treason
How bitter the lie
Remember the runes and remember the light
All I ever want is to be at your side
We gladden the raven now I will
Run through the blazing fires
That's my choice
Cause things shall procede as foreseen
10. The Edge
The world turned innocent
Can you hear me?
I confess I'm no redeemer
Can you hear me?
What shall I do?
I witnessed everything
Faith won't leave me
Mind my tongue
It's like a fire
Faith don't leave me
Glow into words
This is the edge now
It's all we're living for
Rain on me
Love you will rain on me
And at the end I
Boast in the cross
And now
Love reigns -
The god incarnation
I've shaped
Out there is a world on fire
Acursed the hanged one
Divine love for free
What a fateful night
And a grafeful life
The choir echoes
"Every man his price"
Price
Light my agony
And crucify me
Void the law
At the ninth hour
Void the law
At the ninth hour
This is the edge now
It's all we're living for
Rain on me
Love you will rain on me
And at the end I
Boast in the cross
And now
Love reigns -
The god incarnation
I've shaped
The world turns flesh again
Mistified are the final hours
No more fear in
No more fear in
Passover
The brook
Time it is at hand
Obscure the facts
A passion play
This is the edge now
It's all we're living for
Rain on me
Love you will rain on me
And at the end I
Boast in the cross
And now
Love reigns -
The god incarnation
I've shaped
Hallowed be thy name
Hallowed be thy name
No more fear in ...
Come take a look
The old symbols they move
Wounds still bleed
That's creed
No more fear in ...
Can you see me?
Come take a look
At the depth of my soul
11. The New Order
Would you open the door
Son I know the way
Soon the flickering light
Will grow
Lieave it to me now
Unchained
Unchained
Would you open the door
Enter the here and now
A new horizon
You'll rise you'll fall
And learn to live
Keep the faith - keep the pace
Your soul's like water but
Your fate is like the wind
Here's the new order
Hope shall be your guide
Praise the new order
Now let my spirit go
Do you remember
When we were moon knights?
We've slain the dragon
In the room
Now yours is the future
Your quest for the truth
How will it end up
I really do not know
This is no wonderland
Just keep in mind
Like a spell in certain books
Time will change it all
Away - oh please embrace me
Away - I will be gone
I'll take a look to see
What lies beyond
The break of dawn
Would you open the door
There is so much more to say
Keep the faith
Keep the pace
The soul's like water but
Your fate is like the wind
Here's the new order
Hope shall be your guide
Praise the new order
Now let my spirit go
Will you remember the old rule?
Will you fulfill this sacrifice?
Done for the future
Space for the new
How will it end up?
That's up to you
You're on the bridge -
On the borderline
No matter how
You'll never ever leave it
Here's the new order
Hope shall be your guide
Praise the new order
Now let my spirit go
Times will change
The soul's like water and
Like rain it will return
Live on in healing rain
The past shall find release
