1. Tales of the Unexpected
It's the things you say
but not really saying
It's the life you lead
in another way
The things you do
that you can't explain
A story about you
wanting to reign
Tales of the unexpected
Tales of the unexpected
You inner self
Sets your mind thinking
It's the other one
that you're still sinking
The words you speak
that make no sense
A story about you
that's when you hear
2. The Journey
The shadows growing longer now
everytime I try to run
The heart is beating slower by day
a lost fight against the sun
It's the heat of the day
and I feel cold to the bone
But all I wanted to see behind my face
is that it was me a big disgrace
I'm scared to open the unlocked door
it was a life I can't take anymore
For it is a sharpened piece of steel
that stops you from breathing
When you're looking back it was for real
it was a life of the dreaming
For it is, it will be
Now it's over, now it was me
But all I wanted to see behind my face
is that it was me a big disgrace
I'm scared to open the unlocked door
it was a life I can't take anymore
Once every journey must end
I say goodbye to you my friend
No more tomorrow not even today
Only this question: will I eternal lay?
3. City Ad Mortis
Screaming through the iron bars
Knowing the time is running out
Here they come to make their day
Lead me through the roaring crowd
I`m waiting for the toll of the bell
The people cast their stones and yell
I look at the hangman dressed in black
I`m scared to die, can I come back?
The rope is scratching my skin
The trap-door's moving under my feet
I realize the situation I'm in
A last wish is what I need
So, my life comes to an end
I hope there's more beyond this land
Say a prayer, so I can forgive
So here I go, my final whiff
Live to die, where the soul goes on
When the body is gone, die to live
It's a place like in a dream
There's no rank among the dead
We died together in one big stream
You meet the people you've never met
Only place left for a few
If you lived your life maybe for you
But I know my place, I know my name
So it can never be the same
Live to die, for evermore out of sight
In a city of light, die to live
Live to die, this eternal night
For those who died, die to live
4. Die For You
Do with me what you want
I don't give a damn
When I'm dead and buried
Hurt me if you can
In this cruel world
Fighting is the game
We kill ourselves for differences
Ain't it a shame
I live for you
I die for you
Hear the word of a son
Killed by the night
All standing in the shade
To take on the might
Come on and we're rolling on
The palace will burn
We're gonna brand our land
We'll give them what they earned
All rising up
And facing the force
There will be no mercy
For them on this course
Shining blades of Metal
They hit in the dark
On their way to the face
Leave scarves on this place
5. Deadly Peril
Losing control, but I'm never give in
This is your game that I'm gonna win
Do it for kicks, so you play with fire
Say one word and I call you a liar
I`ll come so far to you, don't know what you've gotta do
Your dream is a nightmare, you'll live your life in dispair
You just talk
But I hear no sound
You let it fall
The peices to be count
I'm waiting for a mistake
I'm waiting so I can break you
In the north, where the ice must melt
The soul was hard, so it must felt
It crossed your mind and spoke with evil tongue
Anything you do, will never last long
Say it's the truth, when I know it's a lie
Down at your back “are you ready to die“
Now the time has come for me
For believing all the things I see
Wish you had never been born
So I seperate the chaff from the corn
Feel my angel eye, drop down and start to die
I will never fail, your name is now a tale
6. In the Beginning
In the desert of silence
Walks a man beyond the grave
In his heart many worries
About the world he must save
And now the time has come
You will feel the heat
He's the man with the mighty power
He's the man that you'll need
It was a time when destruction was near
The world lived with pain and fear
In times like these
We got a command
Ban evil
From this wicked land
Evil things that you can do
That's all you ever knew
But now these things are gone
You still feel very strong
The man overwhelming you
Now you know who is who
If you gonna take him by his hand
You're gonna build a perfect land
But now the road will end
You're feeling safe holding his hand
You walk the land, the sea
He's doing it for you and me
7. Counter Attack
You raped my country
So you're gonna die
I'm feeling this pain
And I lift off to fly
I see you, trying to hide
But my bullets won't miss
Hear my roaring engine
Get ready for the final kiss
Stand up, fight like a man
Stand up, hide if you can
You took me by surprise
In the heat of the night
I'll keep on coming
'Till you're out of sight
Your final convulsion
I will give you hell
I'm ready to attack
You're under my spell
The last battle-zone
Who it's gonna be
Your bombs and gunfire
They can't scare me
You took away my people
But you can't take my pride
I'll blow you away
And hurt you inside
8. Defender
Take one step and you will die
Take one look and you will cry
Just the light shining upon your face
Beware, this is a devil's place
Hear the words down from your soul
You will be killed by the gallows pole
The saddest song you've everheard
Just one more step and one more word
Defender, on his nightly trip
Defender, you can't stand his grip
Bend your neck down on your knees
Hear the wind blow through the trees
The sword is gliding through the air
One smash and and you are there
On your way to the gates of hell
The beast will lead you to your cell
His job is done he won't return
But you will suffer, you will burn
9. The Redeemer
Every day the sadness in your eyes
is going to tear us apart
We tried with all our power and might
to get rid of the cracks in our heart
Break the spell is the only solution
We mortals drift and die
On God of our mighty earth
bow down and hear us cry
On his horse he rides to the place
where the curse on their minds was born
No warrior by his side
He alone can break this thorn
Fight, unite your own
Force, you can wait for the
Sign, and freedom will rise
No-one as strong as his lord
can prevent him from his fate
Brave men in words and deeds
they must fulfill the vow they made
On chains of hills with magic mist
the brave and the wicked they meet
With his soul overflown with belief
He will bring evil defeat
10. Shooting the Rapids
11. Passing By
You see the end
You know where you're going
But you're on your own
It's a strange place
to find one and another
when it's over and done
But after while you'll be back home again
fit into your old life and all its things
You see your new life
and all it's pleasant dreams
Why can't I join you in your race
See, see the world goes round
and keeps on turning
Listen we take the other way
is there a place for me to stay?
Night after night
I'll keep thinking how it used to be
I still love you, but in the end I'll see
that you want to be alone
12. Moloch (live bonus track)
