1. Forgotten Fairyland
2. Sword Of Wisdom
The fire of dragons is burning my flesh
And nightmares devour my shivering soul
torches and blood I can see in the night
the guardian of death is denying the light
Down in the valleys of fairies and kings
the sword of the wisdom, forgotten in time
as I seek the mysteries in books of the damned
faith in the keepers of ancient legends
A glance upon the shades, the moonlight in the dark
into another day, the brightest of the stars
the voices from below keep haunting me at night
illuminate my mind, a blaze of golden light
Down in the valleys...
What will I see when I open my eyes?
the horros around me I cannot describe
we´re dwelling in darkness as ravens will fly
hailing the gods of the earth and the sky
Down in the valleys...
I raise my voice in my deepest despair
as I would endure any torture and pain
Son of the Dawn, if the truth could be seen
and thou woulds´t reveal all thy secrets to me
Down in the valleys...
A glance upon the shades...
Unlock the hidden gates, salvation you will find
I see the dragon fly and enter astral skies,
the darkness I won´t fear, the secret is revealed
but time is running out, my destiny is sealed
Down in the valleys...
A glance upon the shades...
Unlock the hidden gates...
Fly away into the night, leave the misty shades behind
in the darkness of a dream, finally the truth is seen
See the truth, hear the truth, speak the truth, know the truth
3. Fading Away
Many happy years have passed
but somehow it all went totally wrong
you have left my life
my soul cries out, I´m left alone
And see...
as the night devours all the light of day
And see...
how my life is slowly fading away
I´m drowning, I´m dying, I´m fading away
I´m leaving this world, I am fading away
I am drowning in sorrow
lost the will to live one more day
suffering in this world
I wish my life was fading away
I promised you my love
till the very end of all times
but you broke my heart
filled with grief I´m left here to die
I see...
how the blood is running slowly down my arms
I feel..
how death is longing for my broken heart
I´m drowning...
I´m drowning, I´m dying, I´m bleeding, I´m fading,
I´m leaving this world, now I´m fading away
4. Die Nacht der Söldner
Hey-ho, ein Feuerlein brennt
und so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner
Hey-ho, ein Feuerlein brennt
und so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner
Gehen' durch die Städte und plündern für Geld
Knie nieder und beug dich
Du bist nur kein Held
Gib mir zwei Decken und auch ein Paar Schuh
Denn so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner
Hey-ho, ein Feuerlein brennt
und so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner
Hey-ho, ein Feuerlein brennt
und so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner
Unter der Herrschaft des grausam Tyrann,
hat man Schwert zwar dabei, doch nur Lumpen an.
Fürst gib uns Feuer, hey, Fürst gib und Wein,
denn so kalt ist die Nach für die Söldner.
Hey-ho, ein Feuerlein brennt
und so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner
Hey-ho, ein Feuerlein brennt
und so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner
Doch eines Tages, da wussten sie schon,
der Krieg bringt kein Geld, nur der Tod ist ihr Lohn
Werden gerichtet, bald knüpft man sie auf
Und dann ist es vorbei mit den Söldnern.
Hey-ho, ein Feuerlein brennt
und so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner
Hey-ho, ein Feuerlein brennt
und so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner
Gehen in Ketten zum Richtplatz dort hin,
ganz starr war der Blick, nur getrübt der Sinn
Steigen die hölzernen Stufen empor
Und bald ist es gescheh'n um die Söldner
Hey-ho, ein Feuerlein brennt
und so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner
Hey-ho, ein Feuerlein brennt
und so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner
Der Henker, der war ganz flink und geschickt,
legt ihnen die Schlingen ganz fest um's Genick
Knoten geprüft mit sorgsamen Blick,
doch so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner
Hey-ho, ein Feuerlein brennt
und so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner
Hey-ho, ein Feuerlein brennt
und so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner
Gebete gesprochen, die Falltüre schwingt,
sie fallen ins Leere, das straffe Seil sinkt,
röcheln und nehmen den letzten Zug,
doch der Tod brach herein für die Söldner
Hey-ho, das Feuer ist aus
und so baumeln sie dort an dem Galgen
Hey-ho, das Feuer ist aus
und so baumeln sie dort an dem Galgen
Hey-ho, das Feuer ist aus
und so baumeln sie dort an dem Galgen
Hey-ho, das Feuer ist aus
und so baumeln sie dort an dem Galgen
5. Dawn
6. Into The Battle
Into the battle - the blood of our enemies stains on our hands
Into the battle - roaming the land
Into the battle - death is by our side
Into the battle - for victory we ride
Dawn is breaking, a new day has begun
We saddle our horses, a battle has to be won
In shiny armour we look up to the sky
Our blades are sharpened, all enemies shall die
The hooves of our horses give a thundering sound
As we are heading towards the battleground
In fear and sheer terror our enemies cry
Our blades are sharpened, now they all will die
Into the battle...
Oh mighty gods of war
To you I raise my voice
Aflame our blades with burning fire
And let the cold steel of our swords
Meet all those who dare standing against us
Breaking your bones, split your skull in two
Ripping through your flesh is what we gonna do
Tearing out your guts, hearken to your cries
Desecrate your body, in agony you die
When the sun sets and the shadows fall
Victory is ours, we devoured them all
Drenched in blood we leave the battleground
Corpses of our enemies are all that can be found
Into the battle...
7. My Bleeding Heart
Shadows of the glancing moon
embrace me now with your cold veil
deep, deep in the glacial waters
the moonlight is shimmering pale
There is darkness in my bleeding heart...
I have lost the will of living this life
for me it has no more worth
I am drowning in the glacial waters
my soul leaving this earth
There is darkness...
In my deepest desparation
all my thoughts are lead astry
come and join my in the glacial waters
I will show you the way
There is darkness...
8. Tills Dagen Gryr
Runt kring vår stunga småjävlar slunga,
tassa så tyst med bockfet och svans.
Varulyar yla isande kyla,
sveper i dimma fantygets dans.
Bäva och broder lyssna och hör,
vråle från gast son osalig dör.
Döden han skrattar flaskan han fattar,
svänger med den tills dagen gryr.
Gastar och spöken skymtas i kröken,
dödingar släpar ruttnande lik.
Benrangel skramla spökhander famla,
kväver din strupes rosslande skrik.
Helvetets alla fasor släpps loss,
fan rider runt med hela sin tross.
Döden han skrattar flaskan han fattar,
svänger med den tills dagen gryr.
9. The Tale Of A Dragonslayer
Long ago in a time of tales when
Mighty dragons ruled the sky
In his castle a knight so wealthy
Dwelled in the woods by the riverside
Filled with greed he dreamt of the treasures
That the dragons were said to own
So one day he went out to kill them
Claim all the riches for his own
Dragonslayer - Raise your sword up high
Dragonslayer - Blood is spilled tonight
Soon he had slain many a dragon
Just a single one of them left
Far beyond all imaginations
Were the treasures that he possessed
No one had ever seen this monster
The most dangerous beast of them all
And the knight in his shiny armour
Headed for this last dragon to fall
Dragonslayer...
To a cave in the highest mountains
He then rode with an evil grin
In a fierce and long lasting battle
Neither the dragon nor he could win
His eyes then caught a glimpse of the treasure
Fascinated he turned his head
In this moment the dragon hit him
Bleeding his body dropped down dead
Dragonslayer - You are gonna die
Dragonslayer - Your blood is spilled tonight
10. Just Another Chance
I´m closing my eyes now, alone in my room
I am looking back at the things that I have done
I went into battle, I conquered it all
But now I am dying, forgotten, all alone
In my desperation I´m starting to doubt
That glory and power is what life is all about
As my life is fading I wish I could trade
All of my riches for just another chance
Turn back the time, I regret all the things I have done
Father, please forgive me... Everything just went so goddamn wrong
I realized my faults, but what´s been done can not be taken back
And all I ask of you: JUST ANOTHER CHANCE
In sorrow I´m weeping, In desperation I´m crying
Just another chance
In failure I´m breaking, forgotten I´m dying
Just another chance
My nation divided, the people enslaved
They suffer in silence as they´re creeping to their graves
My so called achievements, what have they been for?
In my final hour death is knoking on my door
I cared about honour and what I dreamt of
Was almighty power, not a never ending love
My life has been wasted but now it´s too late
There´s no turning back now, endless torture is my fate
Turn back the time...
In sorrow I´m weeping...
11. A Final Farewell
nemo nisi ambo esto, in aeternum, mea lux
tempus autem citum fuget, nos valere iubet
dusk emerges slowly in azure shades
from the depths of the ground
the time has come my precious love
to say farewell to you
the night falls and the waters rise
a silent whisper in the winds
spirits of the forest grant me the strength
I need to bear this pain i feel
the trees shiver in the dark
solemn a nightowl is soaring
dance for me for the last time
tonight when nature is calling
a bed of moss to lie down and die
no words to bid a final farewell
my precious love you can´t deny
your eyes won´t see another dawn
nemo nisi...
close your eyes my precious one
taking your last breath
as this is your final farewell
as this is your death
dusk emerges...
a bed of moss...
nemo nisi...
close your eyes...
