1. Fallen Angel... Eternal Sleep
"Holy One, speak for me the words of truth."
"Live your dream because your last sleep is eternal."
I don't want to talk, I can't stand this anymore
Take me to the skies, fallen angel - evil undisguised
Carry the light, you are playing with fire
Burn - the west is where you shall dwell
Take the shape and colour of your shadow
and then the light fades
one day you'll look into the mirror and see a figure full of emptiness
Nothing is more than you are...
Fallen angel, I don't want to talk to you
Fallen angel, I can't stand you anymore
I wear the cloak of silence even when the sun doesn't shine
And it won't rain in winter...but you are not blind
Fallen angel - Risen One
Now I will never know who he was
My second spring when the leaves fall off the trees
In my prime as the flowers wither
Save me from myself, myself
You are much too superficial to see that I'm not the one
I pass myself off for
It's not the talking, it's the understanding
Don't think, reflect
2. Illusions
Don't matter, honey, if you are dead
Most time you've already spent in bed
Your search hast just reached my call
The answer doesn't wait there at all
My deepest wishes take their form
In dreams the future is confirmed
The prediction of the uncertainty
Has never failed its unknown target
The emotions have jsut gone through my head
Amnesia possibly may stay
Knowing how to make someone
Amenable's nearly everything
Illusions of yesterday - tomorrow's reality?
Today's memories of forgotten times
Imaginations fly to the sky
Clearing my mind of the thoughts I've tried
To think seems as a normal word
But have you really ever tried?
3. Black Dream
I have a dream, it's a dream of...
The timeless hours we spent in
The blackness of your eyes makes me
The silence in spite of your eternal
The fire, show me your brightness
Out there, here we stand
In the darkness of the night
Out there, each of us
Is trying to hide away from light
The endless looks you give will widen
Horizons, never see the end of them
The shadows of reality's gone
The bottomless, beyond all boundaries
The coldness of this vacuum
The outer space and its fascination
The alcohol takes my last discretion
And you, black dream, we'll meet again tomorrow
Timeless silence, endless horizons
Coldness, alcohol,
You are my black dream
4. Perish for Beauty
Trapped in a cage all their lives
Death is salvation, the last spark of hope in their eyes
White God created them all
To perish for beauty and colours of arrogance
Lack of emotion for life
The hands of their hangmen are grabbing with hard grip of death
Screaming in wildness and pain
No chance to escape, executed for mankind's survive
Do you want to get rid of it?
Try to and see you can't flee from your shadow
Remove now the veil from your eyes
Creator of horror, your mirror tells truth from your lies
5. The Awakening
600 years ago, when the tyrant had to die
All the horror and the torment had an end
And man could laugh again while the corpse was burning high
And they strewed away his ashes in the wind
And they carved a sign on the castle's walls
For eternity to stay
Never to all the awakening, oh never lift the veil
When the blood pours out of the dungeon?s walls
When the spirits cry as the darkness falls
The torture will rise from its ashes to return again
When the moon is darkened and the candle's low
And the mystic cold winds of old wisdom blow
On the stones, it rises again to flay
Procession takes its way to the ruin on the hill
Conjuration takes its toll, but they don't know
A pair of evil eyes watch the disappearing moon
And can't wait for the blood that soon will flow
In darkness now there fades the light,
It appears the final sign
The withering flower, he prepares to cross the line
The thunder breaks the sky, the lightning hits the walls
They have gone too far, an unknown creature cries
Beware the bleeding stones and the final tear it falls
The quest, here is the end, the caller dies
The creature disappears in the night, ancient powers are unleashed
Once again to sow a malicious seed
6. Deliver Us from Evil (Warlord cover)
Deliver us from Evil this day
Deliver us from Evil today
Deliver us from all the wicked
Deliver us from the woe
Free, these chains of hell
and now's the time to strike the final blow
One by one, to the swords, to the guns!
Two by two, and away we go
Father and Son, heed the words we pray
Deliver us from Evil this day
Deliver us from Evil today
Deliver us from ill minded rulers
Deliver us from all their talk
See all the evil and the greed
These people that seek what they've lost
One by one, to the swords, to the guns!
Two by two, and away we go
Father and Son, heed the words we pray
Deliver us from Evil this day
Deliver us from Evil today
Prepare for the final awakening
Prepare for the time it has come
Look to the heavens! a crack in the sky
The ending of time has begun
. . . and now all that you have is gone . . .
Deliver us from all the hatred
Deliver us from all the sin
and we who believe will eternally sing
these words in which we call the battle hymn!
One by one, to the swords, to the guns!
Two by two, and away we go
Father and Son, heed the words we pray
Deliver us from Evil this day
Deliver us from Evil today
Deliver us from Evil . . . we pray!
7. As Daylight Fades
8. In Fire's Light
Last cry, defeated now's my soul
First lie had sealed the fate of mine
I pray to whom it may concern
A final tear, I leave the light
Now you will pay me the price
In the way I have payed for your lies
In disguise now my face I'd to turn
And I laugh as I'm watching you burn
Good-bye, false friends I need no more
Farewell, and look into my eyes
You tried, but I will give you more
I haunt your dreams, take you away
Look out, noone can judge my deeds
Disgust to taste the blood you bleed
Your soul, a cripled piece I love
To see you rot in fire's light
9. Last Embrace
I never did before, they'll never know myself
Can't feel like me
I never lived before, how could they understand?
Don't want to die
You have seen me from inside
Why do you love yourself?
Stand, wait another day
The hate, alive
I want to see you from inside
"I don't care what you want,
Not your property,
Come on and hate me for the things
I will never regret."
Why can't I forget?
Perhaps I don't want to forget
The sky gets overcast
I am going to die...
"I don't care what you think,
Not your destiny
Leave me and hate me for the things
I will never regret."
So listen to me now!
This world is not made for you!
Past is never ever again! Time is now!!
10. Dragon Tears - Part II
Now as we're flying across the sky
Despair's dying as noone lies, winds let us go
Storm, through we're chasing with mighty wings
Deep salvation I feel within
I never did know
That all gold of the earth lies on a dragon's back
A power that I can't deny
So watch us as we fly on, ride to the horizon
Freedom and eternity
Far away up high, the mortal world aside
Believe me just what you can't see
Clouds, endless blue of eternity
Can't believe this but I can see
Overwhelmed by this power
Wish I could do this all again
But my time is slipping away
There breaks my last hout
Whoever would have thought that I could see this all again
So grateful I had never been
Now you can kill me, I am prepared
Saw what I wanted, thankful I am
My sword remains dry now, I did understand
You showed me riches I can't hold in my hand
And tell me the man who can call a dragon a friend
So let us fly to the sky once again
Let us chase through the clouds across the land
And noone hears a lie until we have to die
Let us rise again into the air
This was the last chance to cure all despair
The salvation for me in all ways
It's only an emotion away, let us fly
We fly again
