1. War of Wrath
(Sauron):
The field is lost
Everything is lost
The black one has fallen from the sky and the towers in ruins lie
The enemy is within, everywhere
And with him the light, soon they will be here
Go now, my lord, while there is time
There are places below
(Morgoth):
And you know them too
I release thee, go
My servant you'll be for all time
(Sauron):
As you command
My king
(Morgoth):
I had a part in everything
Twice I destroyed the light and twice I failed
I left ruin behind me when I returned
But I also carried ruin with me
She, the mistress of her own lust
2. Time Stands Still (At the Iron Hill)
Light fails at dawn
The moon is gone
And deadly the night reigns
Deceit
Finally I've found myself
In these lands
Horror and madness I've seen here
For what I became a king of the lost?
Barren and lifeless the land lies
bridge:
Lord of all Noldor
A star in the night
And a bearer of hope
He rides into his glorious battle alone
Farewell to the valiant warlord
chorus (repeat 2x):
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill
I stand alone
Noone's by my side
I'll dare you
Come out
You coward
Now it's me or you
He gleams like a star
And the sound of his horn's
Like a raging storm
Proudly the high lord
Challenges the doom
Lord of slaves he cries
Slowly in fear
The dark lord appears
Welcome to my lands
You shall be damned
bridge
chorus
The iron crowned
Is getting closer
Swings his hammer
Down on him
Like a thunderstorm
He's crushing
Down the Noldor's
Proudest king
Under my foot
So hopeless it seems
You've troubled my day
Now feel the pain
bridge
chorus
The Elvenking's broken
He stumbles and falls
The most proud and most valiant
His spirit survives
Praise our king
Praise our king
Praise our king
Praise our king
3. Banish from Sanctuary
In deserts I was preaching
the hand of god was with me
baptized with water and I praised
the one who came behind me
to save us all with the holy ghost
- a prophet of the fools I've been
lost
I'm sure you're there wandering around
but do you care for me
I'm alone
you talk of love not for me
in my dungeon cold I could think about
all the things you've said
but I can't understand you famous son
I left the way of heaven
or did you lead me from it
No No turning back
I'm banished from Sanctuary
the darkness in me
is filling me with pain
there's no way to turn back for eternity
In shadows I'm walking
and caught in loneliness
deliverance I wait for but how long?
are you the one who should come
show me the light in you
or should we wait for someone?
Another!
No No turning back
I'm banished from Sanctuary
the darkness in me
is filling me with pain
there's no way to turn back for eternity
Your reich should come to this world
your way smoothed by my blood, friend
my might will decrease but you'll get
high, yes so much higher
be careful of the rats, friend
cause they'll never sleep
before they catch you, too
The blind can see the sun
cripples walk alone
the deaf can hear my words
they believe just believe
they believe in me
Look! The signs are near
to perform my task
to perform my way
to perform the way I walked
the way of the crucifix
I hear the hangman coming
I wait for execution
No No turning back
I'm banished from Sanctuary
the darkness in me
is filling me with pain
there's no way to turn back for eternity
4. Nightfall
No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried
"All hope's lost it can't be undone
They're wasted and gone"
"Save me your speeches
I know (They blinded us all)
What you want
You will take it away from me
Take it and I know for sure
The light she once brought in
Is gone forevermore"
Like sorrowful seaguls they sang
"(We're) lost in the deep shades
The misty cloud brought
(A wailing when beauty was gone
Come take a look at the sky)
Monstrous it covered the shore
Fearful into the unknown"
Quietly it crept in new horror
Insanity reigned
And spilled the first blood
When the old king was slain
chorus:
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony
"How long shall we
Mourn in the dark
the bliss and the beauty
Will not return
Say farewell to sadness and grief
Though long and hard the road may be"
But even in silence I heard the words
"An oath we shall swear
By the name of the one
Until the world's end
It can't be broken"
Just wondering how
I can still hear these voices inside
The doom of the Noldor drew near
The words of a banished king
"I swear revenge"
Filled with anger aflamed our hearts
Full of hate full of pride
We screamed for revenge
chorus
"Vala he is that's what you said
Then your oath's been sworn in vain
(But) freely you came and
You freely shall depart
(So) never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends"
"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!"
"You better don't trust him"
The enemy of mine
Isn't he of your kind and
Finally you may follow me
Farewell
He said
chorus
Back to where it all began
5. The Script for My Requiem
Hallowed be the fatherland
god he knows
how long I'd been away
from here I did start for a search so
full of decease
I still hear my cryouts
from the old cellar's inside
Born in the days of medieval
my inner voice
is alway asking why
I came from nowhere
without a task, without a name
no fear of evil
fate, so god please lead me through
forgotten realms
mysterious dreams
in sunless rooms I'd sworn
I'll finish what I started, once
I'll find my holy grail
in the holy land
Ref.:
Returning of the miracles
it's my own requiem
the jester's tears
they are inside me
agony's the script for my requiem
Returning of the miracles
it's my own requiem
is the script already written
jester's tears I cry
yes, I cry
I went out of my mind
in desert lands
insanity's pawn
out of control
much too long I've been isolated
from my thoughts
enclosed by the leader's spell
bewildered to marc
as a glory knight
and I tried
Still I hear the scream of thousands:
"Crucify, crucify
Take it all
our gold, our home, our life,
but we didn't kill your Christ!!
Reach out for your holy grail
enslave us and make us
your god's sacrifice!!"
Ref.:
Returning of the miracles
it's my own requiem
the jester's tears
they are inside me
agony's the script for my requiem
Returning of the miracles
it's my own requiem
is the script already written
jester's tears I cry
yes, I cry
Still I'm confused
if I was dreaming
too late I realized
I'd been another fool
I pay the price
Ref.:
Returning of the miracles
it's my own requiem
the jester's tears
they are inside me
agony's the script for my requiem
Returning of the miracles
it's my own requiem
is the script already written
jester's tears I cry
6. Valhalla
High in the sky where eagles fly
Morgray the dark enters the throne
Open wide the gate, friend
the king will come
blow the horn and praise
the highest Lord
who'll bring the dawn
he's the new god
in the palace of steel
persuade the fate of everyone
the chaos can begin
let it in
So many centuries
so many Gods
we were the prisoners
of our own fantasty
but now we are marching
against these Gods
I'm the wizard, I will change it all
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me
Magic is in me
I'm the lost magic man
never found what I was looking for
now I found it but it's lost
The fortress burns
broken my heart
I leave this world
all Gods are gone
So many centuries
so many Gods
we were the prisoners
of our own fantasty
but then we had nothing
who'll lead our life
no, no, we can't live without Gods
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me
7. A Past and Future Secret
Oh, I haven't been here for a while
in blindness and decay
the circle's been closed, now
My song of the end
I've seen it all
Listen crowd
I'll tell you everything
though I have to say
I don't know much
talking about a past
and future secret
most called him once
and future king
far back in the past
I saw his ending
long before it started
I knew his name
he's the one who took the sword
out of the stone
it's how that ancient tale began
I hear it in the cold winds
My song of the end
I had seen it in my dreams
my song of the end
I can't stop the darkening clouds
I feel cold
when I cry out for the bark
take him back to Avalon
dwell on for a new age
so long sleep well my friend
take him back to Avalon
I will wait and guard
the future king's crown
My song of the end
it was nice but now it's gone
my song of the end
it was fixed the whole time
my song of the end
I saw it all
8. Punishment Divine
It's warm and tender but very soon it will turn cold
Shadows stare down from the walls
Out of the mist it's coming closer now
It never rains -- it pours on me
So let the saints
Set up the courtyard, the unpleasant cage
The obvious point is I'm insane
Was I aware whom I has slain, I fear I was:
The faceless
The nameless
The bush set on fire
No one ever dared to speak
"Shame on me, I don't believe
The here and now Is all we're living for"
Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
By one false move it's blown away
Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
Their voices cease it's gone away
Vanished to the point of no return
Vanished to the point of no return
Witness my last breath
I do not regret
A word I've said
The strong will survive
The weak must die
And out of the mist
It's coming closer now
Sinner and saints --
The grateful slaves
Nature's law instead of God in heaven
From far beyond
I can hear them sing
I hear angels sing
Songs of innocence
I hear the angel sing
Despite the facts are clear
It cannot be, what we can't see
I must admit, it sounds so sweet
Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
By one false move it's blown away
Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
Their voices cease it's gone away
Vanished to the point of no return
Vanished to the point of no return
Angels sing
(Can hear them sing)
I hear angels sing
I hear angels sing
(Can hear them sing)
I hear angels sing
I hear angels sing
(Can hear them sing)
I hear angels sing
I hear angels sing
I hear angels sing
Far beyond I hear them sing
("It's true) it's true
We don't exist"
From far beyond I hear them sing
("It's true) it's true
We don't exist"
Well we all know there's no other side
It's good and evil
I know right between, there's no borderline
This is the punishment divine
Surrounded by night, I've been offered insight
There is none but the sin of pride
Am I wrong am I right? Am I losing my sight?
Abandoning the superior mind
Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
By one false move it's blown away
Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
Their voices cease it's gone away
Vanished to the point of no return
Vanished to the point of no return
(Right away)
Through the valleys grey
(I will be gone)
Through the shapeless land I walk alone
(I will be gone)
I'm left alone
(I will be gone)
Through the deepest void, a blackened paradise
(I will be gone)
I walk alone, I'm left alon
9. Mordred's Song
I've lost my battle before it starts
my first breath wasn't done
my spirit's sunken deep
into the ground
why am I alone
I can hear my heartbeat
silence's all around
See hat will rise
so don't come closer
fear your child
born with a king's heart
but fate fooled me
and changed my cards
noone asked if I want it
if I like it
Pain inside is rising
I am the fallen one
a figure in an old game
no Joker's on my side
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
and murder the dawn
turn off the light
and murder the dawn
Nothing else,
but laughter is around me
forevermore
noone can heal me
nothing can save me
noone can heal me
I've gone beyond the truth
it's just another lie
wash away the blood on my hands
my father's blood
in agony we're unified
I never wanted to be
what they told me to be
fulfill my fate then I'll be free
god knows how long
I tried to change fate
Pain inside is rising
I am the fallen one
a figure in an old game
no Joker's on my side
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
and murder the dawn
turn off the light
and murder the dawn
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
and murder the dawn
turn off the light
and murder the dawn
10. The Last Candle
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind (4x)
Have you forgotten him
(lead: André)
Far from the land
Where the sun is born
down in the wood "Caladon"
Do you know the place
where the light is never seen
and all the hopes are turned
by the final cry
Turned to Stone (4x)
Whispering tunes in the wind
all hopes are gone with the night
when the old man will never come back
remember his words and his songs
And we see the raven's flying in the distance
but no wizard's singing his song
Ref.: Somebodies out in the night
I fly in time
The last candle will burn
there's hope for everyone
when the last candle burns high
oh it's time for life
The elves and gnoms have to hide
when the moon is showing it's face
and raging orcs will set their traps
and the forest will burn
they hate green trees
and love the dark
they don't understand
that they're caught and left alone
they feel the magic in the wind
they're just fear the old man's song
Ref.: Somebodies out in the night
I fly in time
The last candle will burn
there's hope for everyone
when the last candle burns high
oh it's time for life
Corrupted old gnom
betrayer of all
you know so much about all
what is your price?
"Too much, too much
you cannot pay with your silver and your gold
there's just a little chance to save the wizard's life
there's just a little chance for all you fools
now pay"
And so I walk across the land
and hope to hear the wizard's song
Ref.: Somebodies out in the night
I fly in time
The last candle will burn
there's hope for everyone
when the last candle burns high
oh it's time for life
(repeat)
(Outro: Somebodies out there
I feel there's somebody
Somebodies out there
I feel there's somebody)
11. Bright Eyes
Fool just another
fool just another
...
I've been waiting
for signs of god
create- enslaved- behaved-
everything is out of control
Leave me alone
isolation bears hope
there's something else waiting
a promised destiny
freezing me
I feel restless and low
these days full of sadness
had joyfully changed
into fear
My freakshow will start tonight
don't miss the right time
Ref.:
Bright eyes
blinded by fear of life
no Merlin is by my side
everything is out of control
everything is out of control
in my future plans
everything is out of control
noone's left to hurt
everything is out of control
sorrow's gone away
Broken memories
walking upstairs
step by step
I see the whole world burning
the poet dies in Neverland
how it burns
Hey, mother stubborn
I really hate you
if you say yes I will say no
ashes to ashes
but dust won't be dust
if you go there
I will go back
Ref.:
Bright eyes
blinded by fear of life
betrayed by sunrise
bright eyes
blinded by fear of life
no Merlin is by my side
Hey, father stubborn
you're ying
and I'm young
I feel alone
who really cares
Born into ashes
to lose all the games
with a smiling face
Ref.:
Bright eyes
blinded by fear of life
and dark dragons rise
bright eyes
blinded by fear of life
no Merlin is by my side
So I sit still in my room, today
winter's here
in summer's season
shall I say
I was wrong
if I'm right
farewell to my last hope
12. Lord of the Rings
There are signs on the ring
which make me feel so down
there's one to enslave all rings
to find them all in time
and drive them into darkness
forever they'll be bound
Three for the Kings
of the elves high in light
nine to the mortal
which cry
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow dawn and I walk to the hill
and there's now way out
Mordor
dark land under Sauron's spell
threatened a long time
threatened a long time
Seven rings to the gnoms
in their halls made of stone
into the valley
I feel down
One ring for the dark lord's hand
sitting on his throne
in the land so dark
where I've to go
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
Lord of the rings
13. I'm Alive
I run through the dark fields
of the plains
reach level 99
the pain cuts deep down
through my vain
how will I break the ice
welcome to my reality
dream forever
sunlight instead of neon light
how will it be
welcome to my grave
and feel the dream is over
nothing can stop me
I reach out for the top
Bridge:
Caught in an old cage
the system failed
built up on lies
now I see that I'm alone
in asylum's cage
I'm left alone
Ref.:
I'm alive my friend
I can feel the shadows everywhere
I'm alive
I left the shadows
far behind me
another one is waiting in the dark
They say the system keeps
the last chance to survive
caught in this labyrinth
of walls and lots of lies
then I began to understand
there's more above than ice
to reach the top
I crept deep down
the answers given in the past
a sensless worth
in useless brains
magic runes
without a meaning
besides the dark
there should be nothing left
Bridge
Ref.
Outside they say death is waiting
but it creeps down through the shaft
finds pleasure in our helpless fear
fills empty rooms
with morbid thought
they've locked the door
and hold the key
sitting beside you
when silent screams
changing my mind and dreams
oh, it's never ending
Bridge
Ref.
I'M ALIVE!!!
14. Another Holy War
I am god
the only one
I will bring back
freedom to your heart
you won't believe
that blind can see
noone else before me ever knew
the way to paradise
for another bloody crime
I shall return
I am your light on through the night
Why am I born
will I fail to rise again
another crucifixion for
another holy war
can't stop what's going on
(repeat)
Sooner or later you must understand
my words bring freedom
and rescue for man
what else,
to call me your Messiah
oh, I wish there could be another way
cross and nails are already prepared
my sell out
waits till I'm crucified
I will die before my vision ends
Why am I born
will I fail to rise again
another crucifixion for
another holy war
can't stop what's going on
Wait for the dawn
to take me away
what will be if I fail
another golden calve
never, never ending
pain and agony
hit me, nail me make me god
Why am I born
will I fail to rise again
another crucifixion for
another holy war
can't stop what's going on
(repeat)
15. And Then There Was Silence
Turn your head and see the fields of flames
He carries along
From a distant place
He's on his way
He'll bring decay
(Don't move along
'Cause things they will go wrong
The end is getting closer day by day)
In shades of grey
We're doomed to face the night
Light's out of sight
Since we've reached the point of no return
We pray for starlight we wait for the moon
The sky is empty
Alone in the unknown
We're getting nowhere
We have been betrayed
By the wind and rain
The sacred hall's empty and cold
The sacrifice made
Should not be done in vain
Revenge will be taken by Rome
We live a lie
Under the dying moon
Pale-faced laughs doom
Indulges in delight
It's getting out of hand
The final curtain will fall
Hear my voice
There is no choice
There's no way out
You'll find out
We don't regret it
So many men have failed
But now he's gone
Go out and get it
The madman's head it
Shall be thyne
We don't regret it
That someone else dies hidden in disguise
Go out and get it
Orion's hound shines bright
Don't you think it's time to stop the chase
Around the ring
Just stop running running
Round the ring
Don't you know that fate has been decided by the gods
Feel the distance, distance
Out of reach
Welcome to the end
Watch your step, Cassandra
You may fall
As I've stumbled on the field
Sister mine
Death's a certain thing
Find myself in darkest places
Find myself drifting away
And the other world
The other world appears
Find myself she dies in vain
I cannot be freed
I'm falling down
As time runs faster
Moves towards disaster
The ferryman will wait for you
My dear
And then there was silence
Just a voice from other world
Like a leaf in an icy world
Memories will fade
Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty will be gone
Will my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of death I will smile
It's the triumph of shame and disease
In the end Iliad
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright
The newborn child will carry ruin to the hall
The newborn's death would be a blessing to us all
Good choice?
Bad choice?
Out of there
You've chosen misery
Power and wisdom
You deny
Bad choice
War is the only answer
When love will conquer fear
So the judgement's been made to the fairest
The graceful says badly he fails
Warning
Fear the heat of passion, father king
Don't let him in
Don't let her in
Desire, lust, obsession
Death they'll bring
We can't get out
Once they are in
She's like the sunrise
Outshines the moon at night
Precious like starlight
She will bring in a murderous price
In darkness grows the seed of man's defeat
Jealousy
I can clearly see the end now
I can clearly see the end now
I can clearly see the end now
The thread of life is spun
The coin's been placed below my tongue
Never give up
Never give in
Be on our side
So we can win
Never give up
Never give in
Be on our side
Old moon's time is soon to come
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to lose
Like one we'll stand
We'll face the storm
Created by a man
Roar roar roar roar
Troy Troy Troy Troy
And as the lion
Slaughters man
I am the wolf
And you're the lamb
Hallowed Troy will fall
Round the walls
Faith is shattered bodies fall
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to lose
Like one we'll stand
It's all for one and one for all
We live for will be wiped out
I feel that something's wrong
Surprise, surprise they're gone
Full moon your time goes by
And new moon's still kept our of sight
We live we die
Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty will be gone
Will my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of death I will smile
It's the triumph of shame and disease
In the end Iliad
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright
Roam in darkness
Spread the vision
We will be lost if you truly believe
Troy in darkness
There's a cold emptiness in our hearts
That they've gone away
And won't come back
They'll tear down the wall to bring it in
They'll truly believe in the lie, lie, lie
With blossoms they'll welcome
The old foe
The vision's so clear
When day and dream unite
The end is near
You better be prepared
The nightmare shall be over now
There's nothing more to fear
Come join in our singing
And dance with us now
The nightmare shall be over now
There's nothing more to fear
The war it is over forevermore
No hope
The blind leads the blind
Carry on
Though future's denied
Mare or stallion
There's far more inside
We are in at the kill we'll cheerfully die
Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty will be gone
Will my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of death I will smile
It's the triumph of shame and disease
In the end Iliad
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright
Holy light shines on
So the judgement's been made
We're condemned though the trial's far ahead
The crack of doom
Father
Your handsome son is heading home
Heading home
Still the wind blows
Calm and silent
Carries news from a distant shore
Out of mind
Can't get it
Can't get it
Out of me head
Sorrow and defeat
16. Somewhere Far Beyond
I came from far
Beyond Your reality
The ocean of time
It's the odysee of mine
I am the narrator
And now I'll tell You
Where I've been
And what I saw
And how it ends
Welcome to the wasteland
In a world which is turning faster
Where I'm alone for a while
It's turning faster
Away from light straight to the dark
The march of time it has begun
I'm caught in an ancient dream so bright
And then the march of time begins
The man in black he waits
Behind this last task
It's full of pain
To sacrifice the only son
The legions of the lost
Wait in the old mine
They try to stop me
The battle it has begun
So I'm not afraid
To walk down to the wasteland
I'm so alone on my way
And I don't fear that dusty godforsaken path
Somewhere far beyond
Somewhere far beyond
The march of time it has begun
Somewhere far beyond your reality
And then the march of time begins
Look at my soul
And behind
There are some things
I've to hide from You
I'm following the black man
I'm losing control
And I don't care
What's happening to the boy
Welcome to the new world
One more step to the dark tower
And my whole body's in flames
I'm looking for Those healing things to be prepared
The march of time it has begun
I'm caught in a prisoner's dirty life
And then the march of time begins
The prisoner did bring the healing spell
The queen of shadows found herself in pain
And death brings answers to us all
What will I find
When the dark tower appears
Will it be the end
Or just a new quest after all
I am the narrator
And now I'll tell You
Where I'd been
And what I saw
And how it ends
Somewhere far beyond
The march of time it has begun
Somewhere far beyond your reality
And then the march of time begins (x2)
Look around and see
The world is turning fast
Faster day by day
Somewhere far beyond
I'll try to change it
If I can - Somewhere far beyond
There's only one chance
And it lies - Somewhere far beyond
Somewhere far beyond
The march of time it has begun
The march of time it has begun
17. The Bard's Song (In the Forest)
Now You all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs
There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
Noone should ask You for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And You're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain
In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men
And elves
Come close Your eyes
You can see them, too
18. Imaginations from the Other Side
Where are these silent faces
I took them all
they all went away
now you're alone
to turn out every light so deep in me
hold on, to late
Will I ever see them back again
or did they all die by my hand
or where they killed
by the old evil ghost
who had taken
the ocean
of all my dreams
which were worth to keep
deep inside my heart
I wish I
could get them back
from the everflow
before they'll fade away
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
out of the dark
back to the light
then I'll break down
the walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side
Where's the ocean's daughter
was Peter Pan in Mordor
no one's there to keep alive
all these fairy tales
may I return to Oz
will I meet the "Tin Man"
"Coward Lion" where are you
without brain the scarecrow's lost
in the middle of the lake
stranded in the real world
left in a world
no place for daydreams
serious life
I fall into
I fall into a dark hole
and I can't come out
do you know if Merlin did exist
or Frodo wore the ring
did Corum kill the gods
or where's the wonderland
which young Alice had seen
or was it just a dream
I knew the answers
now they're lost for me
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
out of the dark
back to the light
then I'll break down
the walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side
I hope there is a way back
with my talisman
so I look into myself
to the days when I was just a child
come follow me to wonderland
and see the tale that never ends
don't fear the lion nor the witch
I can't come back
I'm lost but still I know
there is another world
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
out of the dark
back to the light
then I'll break down
the walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side
19. And the Story Ends
And the story ends
insanity said coldly
still waiting for the chance
so out of nowhere it will rise
oh, and another journey starts
by the call of the moon
was it really me
I saw in the mirror screaming
I swallowed hate and lies
through a thousand cries
someone's sucking out my energy
What can I do
on this road to nowhere
Heart of dragon lies
at the edge of time
And the story ends
insanity said coldy
still waiting for the chance
so out of nowhere it will rise
oh, and another journey starts
into insanity's claws
Come with me and join me
a new life's waiting for you
jump through the mirror
leave fear behind
no matter where I tried
the candle light seemed
lost forever
before my vision ends
-cathedral
-falling tears
We're not alone
there's someone else, too
from the mirror's other side
reflecting the cruel part of your soul
it's time for your choice
What can I do
on this road to nowhere
Heart of dragon lies
at the edge of time
And the story ends
insanity said coldy
still waiting for the chance
so out of nowhere it will rise
oh, and another journey starts
by the call of the moon
Heart of dragon lies
What can I do
on this road to nowhere
Heart of dragon lies
at the edge of time
And the story ends
insanity said coldy
still waiting for the chance
so out of nowhere it will rise
oh, and another journey starts
into insanity's claws
I'm not a king
I'm just a bard
how can I trust
if there's good and bad
the wounds of life
they will remain
at least I found a friend
20. Mirror Mirror
Far, far beyond the island
We dwelt in shades of twilight
Through dread and weary days
Through grief and endless pain
It lies unknown
The land of mine
A hidden gate
To save us from the shadow fall
The lord of water spoke
In the silence
Words of wisdom
I've seen the end of all
Be aware the storm gets closer
chorus (1):
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That tomorrows bears insanity
Gone's the wisdom
Of a thousand years
A world in fire and chains and fear
Leads me to a place so far
Deep down it lies my secret vision
I better keep it safe
Shall I leave my friends alone
Hidden in my twilight hall
(I) know the world is lost in fire
Sure there is no way to turn it
Back to the old days
Of bliss and cheerful laughter
We're lost in barren lands
Caught in the running flames
Alone
How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark
chorus (2):
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Even though
The storm calmed down
The bitter end
Is just a matter of time
Shall we dare the dragon
Merciless he's poisoning our hearts
Our hearts
How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark
chorus (2)
