1. War of Wrath
"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"
"And you know them too
I release thee, go
My servant you'll be for all time"
"As you command, my king."
"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. Into the Storm
Give it to me
I must have it
Precious treasure
I deserve it
bridge:
Where can I run
How can I hide
The Silmarils
Gems of treelight
Their life belongs to me
Oh it's sweet how the
Darkness is floating around
chorus:
We are following
The will of the one
Through the dark age
And into the storm
And we are following
The will of the one
Through the dark age
And into the storm
Lord I'm mean
Blackheart show me
What you hold in hand
I still hunger for more
Release me
From my pain
Give it to me
How I need it
How I need it
How I need it
bridge
chorus
I did my part
Now it's your turn
And remember
What you've promised
bridge
chorus
3. Welcome to Dying
Close to insanity
beond the realms I've been
at darkest places
I'm crying
"The dragon flies"
(lead: André)
Something savage
is yearning for me
I'm waiting afraid for the night
what will be
I've lost myself
a few days ago
it's touching my soul
and a vision of past dreams comes true
Ref.: Welcome to dying
I don't let it out
Welcome to dying
Look to the mirror it shows what I am
Welcome to dying
This town must burn now
Welcome to dying
Can't You see the dragon's seed bears in me
the one who's been before
many times I terrorized this town
many times and here I start again
now I'm stronger and so cold
cold as ice
returning is my destiny
now I feel it's growing up in me
now I feel it's burning deep in me
I'm not what I was before
could I stop this dream
I'm a stranger to myself
and I cannot control
Ref.: Welcome to dying
I don't let it out
Welcome to dying
Look to the mirror it shows what I am
Welcome to dying
Can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me
Welcome to dying
The dragon's breath I don't let it out
(solo: André)
I'm a savage
it's too late for me
the other side's taking controll and I know
there's one way I can walk alone
or the dragon will fly
and a growing fear's all that I feel
Ref.: Welcome... (Rep. 1st Ref.)
Welcome to dying (6x)
Can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me
(lead: André)
Spread my wings and fly away
I spread my wings and fly away
I spread my wings and fly away
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.
(Solo)
Still I'm confused
if I was dreaming
too late I realized
I'd been another fool
I pay the price
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. Harvest of Sorrow
She is gone
Leaves are falling down
The tear maiden will not return
The seal of oblivion is broken
And a pure love's been turned into sin
At the dawn of our living time
Hope may cover all cries
Truth lurks hidden in the shadows
Dreams might be filled with lies
Soon there will be light
Pain remains inside
Suddenly it seemed so clear
All the blindness was taken away
She closed her eyes
And she called out my name
She was never ever seen again
Chorus:
Harvest of Sorrow
Your seed is grown
In a frozen world full of cries
When the ray of life shrinks
Shall cold winter nights begin
She is gone
And I fall from grace
No healing charm covers my wounds
Fooled's the dawn
And so am I
Fooled by life and a bitter doom
To bring you the end of the day
At the dawn of our living time
Hope it soon will pass by
Facing a darkness
I stand alone
7. The Soulforged
I'm not insane That's how it seems though Spiteful cruel but wise Beyond his age My body fails My soul will rise The end of life's immortalized disease and agony And I see death through golden eyes Beyond the door There's something more It seems there's just one way On through the heat I've felt the touch of evil I still feel the icy claw in me For a decent price I've banned kindness from my heart The spirit of all truth and beauty Pawned for my desire And from the flames As chance would have it the soulforged will come into light And from the flames as chance would have it The soulforged, The stainless will rise I will never change my mind I will leave it all behind And through the hour glass Everything's grey Everyone's pale No colour nor beauty will enlighten my heart The seat of life's empty and cold Cadaverous you all seem to me Stillborn but you're still alive You're still alive Truth lies in loneliness When hope is long gone by I'll wipe out the bliss of the new age And welcome you precious night And from the flames As chance would have it the soulforged will come into light And from the flames as chance would have it The soulforged, The stainless will rise From a distant time Voices echo in the hall
8. 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
(Lead: Andr驨
Bridge:
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
(Lead: Andr鯨arcus)
Ref.:
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me
(Solo: Andr驨
Ref.:
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
Bridge:
So many centuries
so many Gods
we were the prisoners
of our own fantasy
but then we had nothing
to lead our life
no, no, we can't live without Gods
Ref.:
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me
(Lead: Kai)
(Both bridges were sung by
Kai Hansen)
9. Majesty
Now the time has come for to leave this land
Take my charge with pride sacrifice
Oooh
Lead: Andre
Running and hiding I'm left for the time
To bring back the order of divine
Hunted by goblins no Gandalf to help
With swords in the night
Oh the last part of the game
Decision of death and life
Blood for Sauron they'll call tonight
The final battle cry
Lead: Andre
Running and hiding I'm left for the time
To bring back the order of divine
There exist no tales and hobbits are crying
For all
Children of death
Lead: Andre
I have a dream
The things you've to hide for
Deliver
Our kingdom and our reich
Don't fall in panic
Just give me the thing
That I need or I kill
Don't run away
For what have I done
Refrain:
Oooh Majesty
Your kingdom is lost
And you will leave us behind
Oooh Majesty
Your kingdom is lost
And ruins remind of your time
Now come back
Solo: Andre
Refrain:
Oooh Majesty
Your kingdom is lost
And you will leave us behind
Oooh Majesty
Your kingdom is lost
And ruins remind of your time
Run, run, run
Cries
Cries in a dark land
Hear the voice it's cold as ice
Eyes
They are watching
They look for me but cannot find
Creature is following no place to escape
My last steps will find the right way
Where is the future the call of the blind
Cause there is none to find
Look to the sky you see no light
My weapons burst with fear
With the howling wolves the nazgul will die
For all
Children of death
Lead: Andre
Cries
Cries in a dark land
Hear the voice it's cold as ice
Eyes
They are watching
They look for me but cannot find
Run
Run for the whole world
It's time you cannot wait
Lost
Lost in a dark world
You feel the strange but cannot see
Too many battles we carry along from the war
And too many frightens we feel from his law
For so many victories we're praising so strong
For so many blood we've lost
Lead: Andre
Refrain:
Oooh Majesty
Your kingdom is lost
And you will leave us behind
Oooh Majesty
Your kingdom is lost
And ruins remind of your time
Run, run, run
Behind
Run, run
10. 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
Ref.:
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
(Solo)
Ref.
(Solo)
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
and murder the dawn
turn off the light
and murder the dawn
11. Born in a Mourning Hall
In fact it was close to a real fallout
everything's under control
the speaker said with a serious smile
behind his mask
he knew the truth
I'll bring a new age of better ways
the TV preacher said
just pay today
pay today
World's dressed in black
on earth's judgement day
and I?
I know it can't go on
forbidden signs increase
I'm sitting still at home
and watching
Ref.:
Born in a mourning hall
pale clouds feared the unborn child
then it grew up with growing plans
of suicide
born in a mourning hall
shadows left the fear inside
that Peter Pan will never reach
the other side
It's frightening
exciting to sit at home
and watch the burning fields
get
hypnotized by the TV snake
Obey and work hard
and feel no anger
just sympathy for the higher class
there's no chance in changing things
cause I am
Ref.:
born in a mourning hall
silent cries ran out
when the cradle breaks
broken dreams were unheared on
the other side
born in a mourning hall
shadows left the fear
in the new born child
that Peter Pan will never reach
the other side
(Solo)
And I'm a part of the machine
a puppet on the strings
a rebel, once
now I'm an old man
Oh, I know this can't go on
but the ghost called fear inside
lames my tongue, my nerves, my mind
eternal fall down
someone cut the strings off
I can't move
to get back courage
I've to face the truth
but not today
goodbye
Ref.:
Born in a mourning hall
caught inside a web called life
the only way to get out soon
is suicide
born in a mourning hall
pale souls built a frozen world
infected brains
will never reach the other side
the other side
