1. The Dragon´s Lair
Way up north where the eagles sore,
beneath a mountain, within its core
There's a treasure, you've been told,
lakes of silver and hills of gold
But the stories they also told
about the dragon who killed the bold
who dared to enter his dark domains
to steal his treasure, they died in flames!
Pre Chorus:
Into the darkness you go
Defying the dangers ahead
In search for silver and gold
Driven by greed
Chorus:
Upon his treasure lies the creature rare
A sleeping beast of fire and air
Well, enter thief, now if you dare
Yes enter fool! the dragon's lair
Down in the dungeons you make your way
In total darkness, is it night or day?
Slowly sneaking on soundless feet,
moving towards the increasing heat
The smell of sulphur, the dragon's near,
but so is the treasure so don't feel fear
The call of gold you just can't deny
If death awaits… well, you have to try
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
Bridge:
Shining silver and glittering gold
It's beyond your wildest dreams
and you steal with eyes that gleams
But the sound of ringing gold
wakes the beast of stories told
The rattling coins seal your fate
With a single glance into his CRYSTAL EYES,
your greedy soul is lost, turned to ice!
Solo: Nyberg, Dahl
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
2. Victims Of The Frozen Hate
They came from far away,
from a land in a frozen time
Through ice and snow they walked
with their broken homes in mind,
they cried!
Without a warning
they ended all lifes in their way
In search for a land
where they could forever stay
Chorus:
Blood on the snow and cries in the wind
Victims of hate, they fell to the ground
One by one, they tasted vengeance
No one could fight the soldiers in a frozen time
With tears in their eyes
the ground was painted in red
They searched for revenge,
by the frozen hate they were led
Chorus:
Bridge:
A battle in tears for the homes they had lost in the cold
They murdered all those who dared to come in their way
Solo: Nyberg, Dahl
Who were those soldiers
with frozen hate inside
And all poor victims
who had no place to hide
Chorus:
Bridge:
...the soldiers in a frozen time
They murdered all those who dared to come in their way
3. Interstellar War
It's the golden age of the human race
The time has come to conquer space,
'cause we have learned to navigate
in time and space, through stargates
Pre Chorus:
Our starships fill the skies in countless worlds
Our warlords burn the worlds in countless galaxies
Solarsystems we bring to an end
Through war and destruction we will transcend
Chorus:
All over the universe we are bringing war,
to every galaxy we explore
Through windows in warp space
we reach the most distant place
with our mission: Interstellar War!
In every corner of the universe
planets die, explode and burst
Billions of life forms meet their fate,
due to our hunger to dominate
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
The universe is now in our grasp
The last resistance is falling fast
The days of glory are drawing near,
when man shall rule with pain and fear
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
4. Another Race
As the moon begins to burn
I can hear a noise
From deep within myself
Like a trembling voice
Pre Chorus:
Another sound roars in my head
Who is calling me
Like a storm inside my body
Please leave me be
Now the voice begins to speak
And I realize
It’s someone from far away
Far beyond our skies
Pre Chorus:
As he rise inside my body
With all his might
Now my life is in his control
I am his light
Chorus:
Another race on the earth
With souls from far
They’ve chosen us for their birth , realize
We are not alone , (we are not alone)
They were always there , (they were always there)
And it was only a matter of time
Solo: Dahl
As the moon begins to burn
I can hear a noise
From deep within myself
Like a trembling voice
Pre Chorus:
Another sound roars in my head
Who is calling me
Like a storm inside my body
Please leave me be
Chorus:
5. Rage On The Sea
Lightning strikes on the wild raging sea,
the storm rules in the air
Roaring thunder in the burning horizon,
waves high in the sky
But the warriors on the ship of hate
will stay in their course
Thunderstorm will not stop the rage
or the cry for blood
Pre Chorus:
On and on, in the storm
Through the horizon
Wind in their sails
Lust for fight, kill and rape
Chorus:
Tyrants out on the sea
Death awaits in their steel
This battleship will be your end
Hungry eyes of the pirates
Anger grows on the sea
By the sword you will die
Breaking the waves like a sword in the wind,
with the flag in the sky
Searching for flesh to their steel,
they will show no mercy
Eternal evil, hate and pride,
there's no escape
Glory shines in their eyes,
to pride to die
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
Solo:
Dahl
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
6. The Final Sign
A light in the sky
You can’t deny
The blistering heat in your eyes
The blaze burns you all
It’s out of control
Only the sky will survive
Pre Chorus:
Melting your brain , drives you insane
Storms your mind , makes you blind
It’s blazing fast , feel the blast
The burning hate is your fate
Chorus:
Stand up for the sign
We’re all in the hands of the skystorm
Rise up for the light
The sky will explode in your eyes
No time to pray it’s the… Final sign
Mighty as god
Searching for blood
Like a mad whirlwind of fire
End of the earth
Destruction’s rebirth
Feel boiling blood in your veins
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
Solo: Both
Chorus:
Solo: Jukka - Dahl
7. Twilight Dreams
Sandman comes with sleeping dust
And I enter the world of dreams
A chilling place of eternal dusk
Where things are not what they seem
Pre Chorus:
Into deeper sleep , I’m descending
Slowly falling , reality’s bending
On gloomy shores under purple sky
Watching shadows that are passing by
Twisted forms beyond comprehension
Is this real , this strange dimension
Pre Chorus:
Into deeper sleep , I’m descending
Falling faster , it’s never ending
Chorus:
Twilight dreams
Far beyond imagination
Nightly screams
Journey in twilight dreams
Solo: Dahl - Both - Dahl
Bridge:
World of dreams , a world of wonder
Enchanting realm of fantasies
I’m in to deep , I’m going under
I will never wake , I’m roaming free
Pre Chorus:
Into deepest sleep , I’ve descended
No longer falling , I am there
Chorus:
Solo: Dahl
8. Extreme Paranoia
Sweat is running free, trickling down on my brow
Every man that I see is a potential foe
Have to stay down, have to stay low
Can not let them know
Pre Chorus:
And if I just can stay alert and keep my senses clear
I know that I can beat them all and maybe kill my fear
Chorus:
But the man in the mirror is my worst enemy
Everywhere, he is there, always following me
I'm paranoid to the extreme
Agony, panic and fear are surging up inside of me
Hidden dangers are everywhere to see
Malicious lurkers, I have to flee
Oh please let me be
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
9. Winds Of The Free
Living for the day
Life lights their way
They are all forever free
They will never die,
never wonder why
they are all forever free
Pre Chorus:
There will always be sun up in the sky,
a rainbow standing high
Red horizon lights their way over the seas,
from tears of the trees
Here they always stay
Chorus:
Ride on your wings
children of the sky
Fly on forever,
on winds of the free
Beyond reality,
a world in harmony
They are all living in peace
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
Solo:
Nyberg - Dahl
Bridge:
We all will die someday
I hope I'll find the way
to the land of glory days
and then I'll fly on the winds of the free
Chorus:
10. A Tale Of Forgotten Realms
On a cold winternight with the moon ablaze
We where gathered around the fireplace
Silent we sat with our foaming ales
Respectfully waiting for the old man’s tale
With a final draw on his ivory pipe
The old man raised his voice , and began
As his voice raised and sank in the strangest rhyme
We drifted away to worlds of ancient times
By his words we where able to see through his eyes
Into places beyond where dragons still flies
Chorus:
Forgotten realms , mysterious lands
When childhood dreams are close at hand
With mythical beasts and lustrous elfs
Those magical worlds reveal themselves
Solo: Dahl - Jukka - Both - Dahl - Jukka
And when the story ended we felt hollow yet glad
The return to the grey reality made us all a bit sad
But I could see the faith in everyones eyes
That somewhere , there are worlds where dragons fly
And this strange night in late december
Will stay in my mind , and I’ll , remember
Chorus:
11. The Shadowed Path
Striding slowly on this ancient path
Along the river of promises
Trees that taunt me , I hear them laugh
Spuring me on with their mocking leaves
Silver moonlight , touching the stream
Makes it shimmer like molten steel
Is this reality or just a dream
Confusion and strangeness are what I feel
Pre Chorus:
Walking down the shadowed path
Beyond the threshold of no return
Regrets and memories fade away
As I travel on…
Chorus:
The shadowed path
Wandering eternally
The shadowed path
I am lost forever
Solo: Both
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
12. Strange Dimension
In a place far away from here,
in another world – another sphere,
a new day is waiting to be born
A single roar of rage is torn
By thousands and thousands they fly
into a misty and haunting grey sky
But when they break through the haze
scales and fangs shine in the sun’s rays
Chorus:
Here in this strange dimension,
in this ancient place
dragons reign, totally supreme,
through time and space
Solo: Dahl, Karlsson
Crystal eyes of cold and cruel minds,
gazing down at the weak human kind
And so they fall from the sky like rain,
breathing fire – grim dealers of pain
Chorus:
13. Queen Of The Night
Can you hear her whisper words in the night
The wind blows strong and the moon is shining bright
There's an evil feeling hanging in the air
The queen is calling to you and soon you gonna be there
Pre Chorus:
And now the time is short
This is the hour you gonna be caught
Into darkness you go
Into her arms
Chorus:
Queen of the night
Madam of mystery
Lady of darkness and pain
Can you feel her power when you look into her eyes
The air turns cold and your soul turns to ice
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
Solo: Karlsson, Dahl
Bridge:
Walking in the shadows, never see the light
Now you are caught by the queen of the night
Solo: Both
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
Chorus:
14. Crystal Eyes
I was born in the unknown
I am the ruler in knowledge of prophecy
The beholder of your life
Life is sometimes very strange
You can never know what's waiting behind the corner
Tomorrow you may be gone
Pre Chorus:
You don't know the end of your life,
only that you where born
In my eyes I can see your future
Chorus:
Crystal eyes - I see the shadow in the dark
Crystal eyes - I see the face under the mask
I see the growing hate and fear
I can see what's on a dictator's mind,
but I don't wanna realize
Down-heated in the jaws of death,
that will be the end of all the peoples life
And we all will be gone
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
Solo: Both, Dahl
Bridge:
I got eyes of the future
I can see the end of the Earth
Someone will blow up the world
War, death and starvation
We have gone to far
It's time to pay with our lives
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
It's time to pay the price
15. We Are The Future
