1. The Day Upon You
2. I Welcome the End
A distant thunder cracks the sky
They’ve run out of sands of time
Apocalyptic, catastrophic
Never seen by human eyes
They thought it would last forever
what’s called humanity
To try to love they could never
So ends the misery
Of my discoveries, there is no future
For these beings that thrive on war
Star ships aligning, targets in focus
Disintegrating, they’ll be no more
They thought it would last forever
what’s called humanity
To try to love they could never
So ends the misery
Wipe the tears they cry
Let the darkness die
With open arms I welcome the end
Wipe the tears they cry
Let the darkness die
With open arms I welcome the end
In a flash, the world is ash
The colonies melt away
A world in flames
Themselves to blame
The suffering ends today
They thought it would last forever
what’s called humanity
To try to love they could never
So ends the misery
Wipe the tears they cry
Let the darkness die
With open arms I welcome the end
Wipe the tears they cry
Let the darkness die
With open arms I welcome the end
3. Souless Inventions
Endless wars engaging
Unstoppable eruption
On the brink of destruction
Blasphemy of all time
Mocking the great creator
Cloning killing machines,
programmed eliminators
Bringing forth corruption
Deleting path of mankind
Machines run amok, digital minds
Man has crossed beyond forbidden zone
He’s created life to call his own
Mindless, heartless creations have begun
Mindless, thoughtless, soulless inventions
Change the great master plan
Cyber world revolving
Computerized beings emotionless evolving
Legions march through the streets
Wiping out the divine
Annihilate the meek
A human decline
Man has crossed beyond forbidden zone
He’s created life to call his own
Mindless, heartless creations have begun
Mindless, thoughtless, soulless inventions
Out of control, no warning
Devastation in path
The price for blasphemy,
man tasting his own wrath
Man has crossed beyond forbidden zone
He’s created life to call his own
Mindless, heartless creations have begun
Mindless, thoughtless, soulless inventions
4. Hopeless Creator
Looking down, what a disaster
Was it part of your intentions?
After all, you are the master
of this chaos and its creation
Hurling up to the heavens,
the cries of every nation
Turning the page, the book closed,
final retaliation
Head in his hands, the time’s at hand,
he’ll make a stand
So many tries, hopeless he sighs,
gently he cries
The time has come to put an end to this charade
The mockery of what you planned,
of what you made
Grieven by hateful crud, great animator
Saddened by spilling blood
Hopeless creator
Launch prepared, awaiting command
Warning ignored by masses
Masterpiece only sculpted by your hands
Into black, ashes to ashes
No faith, the final decision
Controlled, computerized life
No hope, attacks with precision
Turn back the hands of time
The time’s at hand, he makes a stand
and gives the command
Hopeless he sighs, softly he cries,
brings their demise
The time has come to put an end to this charade
The mockery of what you planned,
of what you made
Grieven by hateful crud, great animator
Saddened by spilling blood
Hopeless creator
Looking, what a disaster
No part of your intentions
Show them you are the master
So ends civilization
Head in his hands, he made a stand
and gave the command
So many tries, so many sighs, softly he cries
The time has come to put an end to this charade
The mockery of what you planned,
of what you made
Grieven by hateful crud, great animator
Saddened by spilling blood
Hopeless creator
5. Fire in the Skies
The doom awakening foreseen light years ago
Punishment in flames approaching like a molten sky
Wrath in his eyes blazing
This burning god appears
The watcher out gazing
A distant thunder draws near
Creator of what was righteous awaits to make his stand
Targets the world with his anger, his hammer strikes down
Wrath in his eyes blazing
This burning god appears
Merciless out there gazing
A burning death draws near
Vengeance burns within his eyes
Fire in the skies
Vengeance burns within his eyes
Fire in the skies
The doom awakening foreseen light years ago
Out of the molten sky, his hammer strikes down
Wrath in his eyes blazing
This burning god appears
Merciless out there gazing
A burning death draws near
Vengeance burns within his eyes
Fire in the skies
Vengeance burns within his eyes
Fire in the skies
Across the sky his torching course
Such agony, blistering force
The flames engulf, fires collide
Burnt to a crisp, ashes remain
Vengeance burns within his eyes
Fire in the skies
Vengeance burns within his eyes
Fire in the skies
Vengeance burns within his eyes
Fire in the skies
Vengeance burns within his eyes
Fire in the skies
6. Distant Thunder
7. Beyond the Black Field of Stars
Through space and time we travel
Through endless nights we soar
Passing the darkened horizons
Pitch-black mist
Eternal blackness surrounding
Starlight passing by
The universe everlasting what does exist
Far beyond the black field of stars
Through ancient voids, see who you are
Spiralling on through this dreamscape
Endless starlit black skies
A journey for a new sunlight glowing far
We see the lair of creator
Silhouettes of his domain
Empire of the great master
The burning star
Far beyond the black field of stars
Through ancient voids, see who you are
Far beyond the black field of stars
Through ancient voids, see who you are
8. Lost in Time
Here’s a tale of lonely dreamers
A tale of hungry hearts
It stops to make you wonder
just where you are
Let me speak these words of wisdom
Just say it’s nothing new
There’s a sea of drowning thinkers
The lonely few
That the dreams they had vanished into nowhere
All the borrowed time only took them somewhere
Without sight
Running blind
The dreams you’ve cherished have vanished in thin air
All your hopes have perished so why should you care
Rainbows you were chasing have vanished away
Now you crawl through halls of darkness
The sadness in your eyes
The look of no tomorrow
You wore a false disguise wading in your sorrow
Sighing, walking down the street of broken dreams
Was it all it seemed?
Look at the sight you didn’t see
Caught in the grey reality
The road to madness destiny
Lost in time
The borrowed time you wasted has you in despair
The simple life you’ve tasted has always kept you there
Longing for a future, but never reaching out
You’re lost without a doubt
9. Finding My Way
Waiting for what’s brought tomorrow
Yesterday is a memory
The hours passing faster day-by-day
We linger on time that’s borrowed
Searching the golden dream
Can’t seem to find my way
Feeling no sadness
But feeling no gladness
Fighting for my life
Dreams of faith waiting
Nightmares that haunt fading
Finding my way through life
The mystery of existence
So many horizon scenes
Seeking for answers
Confusion burns inside
In twilight feeling persistence
Unknown force guiding me
Will this well of dreams run dry?
Feeling no sadness
But feeling no gladness
Fighting for my life
Dreams of faith waiting
Nightmares that haunt fading
Finding my way through life
What is the essence of time?
Where it ends, do we want to know?
Our destinies have all been planned
But is it where we really want to go?
Living on borrowed time
Where the sun never shines
In the sea of madness
In dark waters we tread
Feeling no sadness
But feeling no gladness
Fighting for my life
Dreams of faith waiting
Nightmares that haunt fading
Finding my way through life
Dreams will await
Nightmares will fade
Finding my way
Finding my way
Find your way
Find your way
Fight your way through this life!
10. Run With the Pack (Helstar cover)
Midnight, can you hear the wolves are howling?
No light but the evil ones are prowling
Pitch black and their wicked eyes are on you
They attack ‘cause there’s nowhere they can find you
Swirling you round, taking you down
You are the chosen one
You’re looking back, you left your track
So now you run with the pack
Run with the pack
Run with the pack
Run with the pack
Screaming wind from the valley of the dead
They’ll win the soul from you of which they led
They lie, but you listen just the same
You cry, but there’s no one else to blame
Swirling you round, taking you down
You are the chosen one
You’re looking back, you left your track
So now you run with the pack
Run with the pack
Run with the pack
Run with the pack
Midnight, can you hear the wolves are howling?
No light but the evil ones are prowling
Pitch black and their wicked eyes are on you
They attack ‘cause there’s nowhere they can find you
Swirling you round, taking you down
You are the chosen one
You’re looking back, you left your track
So now you run with the pack
Nowhere to hide
So run with pride
You run with me
You won’t be free
Why don’t you see it’s not a dream?
No turning back
Run with the pack
11. Restless and Wild (Accept cover)
They're running wild
They're on a down hill... ride
Like a rebel they look for more
Too young to die!
Now you know your dreams are useless
And there're lies you'll never tell...
...'cause you're so
Restless! restless and wild
Restless! restless and wild
Restless! restless and wild
Restless! restless and wild
Star born lovers
Angels in the night... on a highway!
They don't look back
Everybody's lost the way, yeah
The little girl wants to be an actress
Young boys are easy riders...
...they live so
Restless! restless and wild
Restless! restless and wild
Restless! restless and wild
Restless! restless and wild
Stay down, time will roll on
How do you feel when the night is gone
Stay down, time will come 'round
You are the man made for highway life
...For the highway life!
City lights moving on
No tomorrows, no destinations!
Like a wheel turning on and on
You're a man... born to run!
Every world that you have seen was senseless
Keep moving on there's no other way...
...'cause you're so
Restless! restless and wild
Restless! restless and wild
Restless! restless and wild
Restless! restless and wild
