1. Power and the Glory
Thundering crack we were caught by surprise, fire in the sky
A burning rain forever changed our lives
Your strike on our land was your first mistake, called us out to war
Now you've summoned the red, white and blue hurricane
Eternal fire still burning on you'll never stop the flame
in the land of the free and the home of the brave
We've got the power and the glory
We've got the power and the glory
Born from a dream our courage is real, the spirit never dies
We'll dominate your faith and now your lives
Darken your days and light up the nights, there is no place to hide
Now something wicked comes your way
The fight for supremacy still rages on, cursed legions of the sand
Now feel the weight and the might of the titan's hand
2. Warrior of Faith
I show my strength in my belief
That we are here because of our destiny
I will die for honor, I'm sworn to protect
Allegiance to our master, I'm a warrior of faith
In my youth, I learned the art of war
Fought many battles as the years ran by
I am a warrior of faith, my mission to protect
Vengeance is my name and when I die
My soul will strike out from the grave alive
To my enemies, I'll be known as fear
I come with my friend known as steel
I'll never die forever my heart shines
I'll dance with death beyond the afterlife
I'll never die my spirit soars forever
There is no fear cause I see the light
3. Down in Flames
Mirror, mirror tell me what you see
What has become of my life now tell me
Am I insane or have I lost my mind
Should I give in step into the crowded line
Relentless pursuit, just like the demon's eye
Giving me wings to fly
I'm on my way, fire from the stage
I am the master of my destiny
No, I'll never change
That'll be the day I go down in flames
You've opened the gate, unleashed the beast
on a world full of hate, don't you feel the warning
The formula that we all know worked so well
was taken from the tree of forbidden knowledge
Relentless pursuit, your demon eye is veiled
Escaping the beast again
When you sleep with the devil
You'll always get what you want
The price you pay will be high
Your doom will surely come
4. Up from the Ashes
Out of the darkness comes a new hope
Shining bright like the sun
You can feel when the force is flowing
Through your veins so strong
Held up high burns the torch of the faith
Like the phoenix from ashes I rise
Crashed to the ground and still alive
All the way up from the ashes
I feel my spirit come to life again
Far beyond the clouds up in the sky
Comrades to the end of time
Death tried to claim me, I've risen again
The sword drawn from the stone
Sole survivor the last of my line
Stronger than before
They tried to bury me deep in the past
I was left all alone to die
I'll rise and fall but never die
Comrades!
All the way up from the ashes,
My spirit's come back to life again
Far beyond the clouds up in the sky
Soaring high were eagles fly
All the way up from the ashes
Out of the dark in to the light again
Far beyond the stars up in the sky
Comrades to the, comrades to the
Comrades to the end of time
5. Vampyre
I lurk in the shadows
Moonlight touching the ground
I creep in the bushes
Await for you my love
My pale skin feels so cold
I need your warmth beside me
I feel your beating heart
You're swept into my arms
Oh how I love this night
And the many nights to come
For a thousand lifetimes
I'll make you my own
I am immortal, the living legend
One thousand years gone, the fallen angel
I am immortal, the living legend
One thousand years gone, hell's incarnation
See your fate in my eyes
Falling prey to my stare
Swept away by an ancient trance
My bite left you unaware
I am the master of slaves
Whom I own for eternity
I hear your beating heart
Let's walk together in the dark
Come dance with me for the rest of eternity
Come dance with me my love
Dance with me
6. The Witching Hour
Tell me show me what you see
Visions in your midnight dreams
Stare into your crystal ball, say you see it all
Hide away in a darkened room
Candles burning, sweet perfumes
The spirit world is for those who want
Love, greed, money, become God
Look to cards for wondrous things to come
The magic works first you must pay
Holy father send your blessing unto thee
Feed the soul with lust and greed
Take my hand, tell me what's your sign
Listen to what I say, I speak divine
Foretelling days that are about to come
End of session your time is done
Black bird of sorrow sing your song
Deep within yourself something's wrong
Still you fall prey to this psycho trap
Know the truth this magic is black
Reach out and pay the price
Wake up fool open your eyes
Tell me show me what you see
Visions in your midnight dreams
Let me tell you what I see
A treacherous lie, a snake in a tree
7. Sleepy Hollow
On a cold winter day, up far to the north
At a town called Sleepy Hollow
Where the trees feel like they're watching you
There's a story to tell about this place.
An evil so great it came to life,
A demon reborn cursed for all time
Fallen warrior on a path of war
Bringing heads to the doorstep of hell
Soul stealer, a demon walks the earth
Summoned by the vengeance in his heart
Nightrider, a horseman dressed in black
A knight gone totally mad
Straight out of the dark, he charges into sight
Hellfire from his sword, held high burning bright
With one swift stroke it all comes to an end
On a path of blood he searches for a head
No one can survive make it past the bridge
All you hear are the screams
Fallen warrior risen from the grave
Reunited with daredevil again
Fast and furious, losing all control
Thunderous hooves of steel breaking up the earth
Jack o'lantern has been shot into the air
From this night on man and child beware
8. Guardian Archangel
I ran in total darkness, wind rushing by my side
Full moon to light my way, I felt the winds of evil
Gray skies and red horizons lightning and thunder crack
Full speed ahead to nowhere soaring like an eagle
Then from the sky it came, a silvery shining blaze calling out my name
Out to the heavens I called, I need you here by my side
I've got nowhere to run or hide
We warred from hell to heaven, leaving the demons
Holding the keys to hell, his sword struck like an earthquake
The trumpet sound of glory electrified my soul, all hell has broken loose
The dragon rose before me
Fighting the world side by side, sorrow and fear start to die
Bringing me hope and strength, guardian angel's my name
I've watched over you today, I'm here to show you the way
The eyes of God are watching as men destroy the earth
All things come to an end, the words were sealed ages ago
My life has flashed before me, I've seen the millions burn
We rose above the rain like angels of the morning
Down from the sky we fell into the arms of the night
Bringing me back to life, hold fast and always be strong
He said as he rose to the sky, I'll always be by your side
Archangel, my guardian
9. Heaven's Fire
Listen here boy to what I tell you
Come one day you will be a man
Sacrifice all your earthly passions
And gain your key to paradise
He's a liar, Heaven's fire
I was born with desire
To become something higher
How can anyone ask for more
When you feel heaven's fire from above
Growing up as I watched and listened
As they preached and made their claims
All are doomed if we don't give money
So you can use it in his name
Now I see that you are the devil
In disguise you will hide no more
My soul is out of your reach
You no longer take control of my mind anymore
I was born with desire
To be one with the fire
Lord have mercy give ear to my song
Rays of joy have pierced my soul
I was born with desire
To become something higher
How can anyone ask for more
When you feel heaven's fire from above
10. Dear Queen
You came into my life
Filled me with joy, you made me smile
Time stood still when I was with you
Made my dreams come true
Dear Queen, like an angel from the heavens
You fell into my arms and I held you so close
From the first time I laid eyes on you
I knew my heart belonged to you
Dear Queen, you're always in my dreams
Can't you see this love was meant to be
I promised you the world, only you and I
Don't be afraid of a higher love
Now that you're gone, my heart is torn in two
Please believe, it was meant to be
Now I live with the memories
My heart cried out for you, tears fell like rain
Left with all the thoughts of what could have been
But now a sadness clings to my heart
Dear Queen,
You shot an arrow through my heart
Made this knight fall down to his knees
I looked into your eyes, please believe
Dear Queen, the angel of my dreams
Can't you see this love was meant to be
I promised you the world, only you and I
Now that you're gone, I hope you'll be alright
Deep inside, it hurt to let you go
I look to the stars thinking of the times we've shared
I just want to say, I will always love you so
Dear Queen, Dear Queen
Can't you see this love was meant to be
All my life I waited for you
Don't be afraid of a higher love
Now that you're gone, my heart is torn in two
Please believe, it was meant to be
11. The 13th Warrior
Sailing on a sea of trouble, our backs are to the sun
The thickest fog we've ever seen fell without a sound
We're up against an ancient force that's never been brought down
A tired king, a desperate land, broken and burden bound
Forwarding into battle is when we come alive
Sharpened swords and eyes cold as ice
The fear we face we know we may not survive
Only death can stop the fire burning in our hearts
Stepping onto foreign sand
A naked child runs our way bringing blood upon his hands
An ancient evil that all men dread
We hope and pray for the angel of death
The night has come we lie in wait watching with all eyes
The silence of the midnight hour waiting for a sign
Shadows pass within the walls we never would have seen
If not for the chosen prince the man from the east
Caught out in the rain side by side we fight
Letting all the hate the fury rise
Driving hard as thunder cracks up in the sky
Only death can stop the fire burning in our hearts
Hunting down the enemy
Beyond the cliffs we find the lair, the home of the beasts
Walking in so silently
They had no clue we walked among them dead in their sleep
The light of day is here again
The curse is lifted, now we set our sails to the west
As we sail back home again
We see the king sitting on his throne with sword in his hand
