1. Riders of The Storm
Sight a brand new horizon
Ascending from the hearts of those who couldn’t see
The decline of man, the final stage of war
Spectral forces of mankind
We’re all trapped inside the core of the machine
Our time has come to find a way back home
We seek our destiny in thee
In the eye of the storm
A genesis is born, reborn
Riders of the storm – one with the wind, defenders of creation
Riders of the storm – aligned with the sun
Phantom powers rule the earth
Descending down, controling you and me
What is left to see, is it all but a dream
On the inside looking out
Kept within a cage, behind a false facade
They can’t keep us down cause our strenght is our will
We dream of a genesis reborn
Where our spirits fly free
Let us choose our own destiny
Riders of the storm – one with the wind, defenders of creation
Riders of the storm – aligned with the sun
Speak the word of Nemesis
Call for thunder call for rain
Let us meet our Genesis
Save us from the unholy pain
Solo: Oscar
Lead: both
Riders of the storm – one with the wind, defenders of creation
Riders of the storm – aligned with the sun
2. Hearts On Fire
We saw the writings on the wall
When heathens ruled above us all
Tormented, we still heard the call
You come to bring us down
Wield the scepter, steal the crown
Time on the throne is running out
‘Cause seasons change but we are still the same
Even though the cold winds blow the fire burns inside
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Burning for the steel
Hearts On Fire
For years shunned by society
Outcasts, condemned for our beliefs
Our legions grew in secrecy
And now, the time is here
I see the Templars everywhere
The Freedom Call is drawing near
We hold our rebel banners up with pride
The colour’s crimson and the Hammer is the sign
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Burning for the steel
Solo: Stefan
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire…
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire…
Hearts On Fire
3. On The Edge Of Honour
Led by temptation into the underworld
to absence of season and time
Soldiers of Fortune, Soldiers of the Night
back to back, ready to fight
Enchanted gardens, where Evil slipped away
through darkness, fire and rage
Uncanny demons will dance upon your grave
as soon as you become their slave
Surrender or fight, there’s nowhere to turn
The Bringer of Light, where are you now
Forever our hearts will burn
Immortal Riders, Protectors of the Earth
lost in the abode of the dead
Misled through darkness and mislead by desire
inside the midst of the fire
Surrender or fight, there’s nowhere to turn
The Bringer of Light, where are you now
Forever our hearts will burn
Fallen Angels, arise from your graves
Free your spirits and unite
before the blood of the Unicorn colors the night
From the ruins of hell we shall rise
On The Edge Of Honour we see the light
of the Unicorn soaring the night
Lead: both
Born to conquer the fight,
here we stand with the Future in our hands
Through fire we’ll rise to touch the sky
Solo: Stefan
Oooh…
Lead: both
4. Crimson Thunder
We are the voices in the dark
Inside the fire we are the
Eternal Spark that will guide the way
We are the stars up in sky
We gather winds so you can fly
We are the light when you’re sleeping
All your dreams can come true
“Where do we go?”
We’re just a heartbeat away
Follow the signs of the Crimson Thunder
We will stay by your side
Let our voices be there to guide you
We are forces in the rain
Inside your heart we are the
unending answer to all your fears
So take a step towards the light
The crimson sky fullfills the night
The revelation is near
All your dreams can come true
“Where do we go?”
We’re just a heartbeat away
Follow the signs of the Crimson Thunder…
We will stay by your side
Let our voices be there to guide you
Solo: Stefan
All your dreams can come true…
Follow the signs of the Crimson Thunder…
5. Lore Of The Arcane
6. Trailblazers
It’s been a long way but now we are near
the midst of the fiery rain
We know the Thunder have summoned us all
to the place were innocence got slain
Behold the omens, the rivers run red
The autumn winds carry the dead
The final warning, the very last command
Shattered remains for the damned
We won’t surrender
No never, we will carry on
From the Lake of Fire they have come
Fierce almighty legions, one by one
When the Flames of Glory touch the sky
Trailblazers do or die
We are the mighty, who soar through the air,
creating our own destiny
Warriors once and Warriors to be
Forever our spirits fly free
We rode on lightning we shone like the sun
in a thunderous symphony
We fought them hard we fought them so brave,
sending them back to their grave
The Hammer has fallen
The fire still burns in our hearts
From the Lake of Fire they have come
Fierce almighty legions, one by one
When the Flames of Glory touch the sky
Trailblazers do or die
Solo: Stefan
Lead: both
The visions we gazed upon,
as the nightmare returned
On the uncaring slopes
the mark of the shadows still burns
Lead: both
7. Dreams Come True
Never thought I’d feel again, feel the darkness fade and see the morning sun arise
Never thought I’d feel alive again, senses dull and blunt from all the lies
Now, when I hold your face so close to mine I see a place where the sun will shine, with you it is divine
Looking down into those eyes, I know, I’ll be lost and never found again. Kiss me once and I will surely melt and die, kiss me twice and I will never leave your side…(if) Dreams Come True
Do I dare to trust this time? Ooh, the Bells of Fortune, will I ever hear them chime?
Only those who have been burned before truly know the meaning of Hell's flaming core
I was the brooding night and you were dawn. Saving me, for I was forlorn, in your light I am reborn.
Looking down into those eyes, I know, I’ll be lost and never found again. Kiss me once and I will surely melt and die, kiss me twice and I will never leave your side…(if) Dreams Come True
Lead: Oscar
Then, when the walls are breaking down on us, when all we see is misery
will you still believe in me?
Looking down into those eyes, I know, I’ll be lost and never found again. Kiss me once and I will surely melt and die, kiss me twice and I will never leave your side, until the sign of winter, always by your side....(Dreams Come True)
8. Angel Of Mercy (Chastain cover)
There’s never been any reason
or escape for the treason
You just think of a time far away
I feel your flame and your anguish
I know your plans and your last wish
You just can't face another day
Angel of Mercy, take her to your homeland
Angel of Mercy, you can feel the signs,
it’s the End, it’s the End
You've stood along the life line
You've played the fool for the last time
You just want the joy and the peace
You've heard all the laughter
You’ve seen what you’re after
You just want the rest and the sleep
Angel of Mercy, take her to your homeland
Angel of Mercy, you can feel the signs,
it’s the End, it’s the End
Angel Of Mercy, Angel Of Mercy
Lead: Stefan
Solo: Stefan
You can hear the clock’s tick
as you scheme for your last fix,
from a place you never will awake
I hear your cry into the night
I hear you die within my fright
But now you’ve saved your mistake
Angel Of Mercy…
Angel of Mercy, Angel of Mercy
Solo: Stefan
9. The Unforgiving Blade
When the sky is turning black, you fear the dawn
Your inner voice compels you, but you’re all alone
Thy secret sense lies still obscure within your shattered dreams,
and all you can do is scream
Long ago you spoke the words of heresy
Twenty years of running brings back memories
All your wisdom made me seek the truth that lied beyond
my inner dreams
“Follow the one that fell from the crimson skies”
I remember the words, I can never forget your demise
And now your world’s falling down
For all the games that you played
And as your soul’s falling down
You’ll meet The Unforgiving Blade
Should have seen it coming
when you rolled the dice
Deeper and deeper, falling,
away from your paradise
Solo: Stefan
Innocent eyes observing the Crimson Skies,
awaiting for someone to heal the burning lies
And now your world’s falling down
For all the games that you played
And as your soul’s falling down
You’ll meet The Unforgiving Blade
10. In Memoriam
11. Hero's Return
In a time of fear and confusion,
silence charging the air
The sunlight is gone, darkness lives on
in the heart of the dragon’s lair
Lost in a world of illusions
No trace of the missing ore
Stealing our souls, we’re out of control,
knocking at death’s door
All our beliefs fading into ashes
Heed the words that we pray
For a Hero’s Return our hearts still yearn
Rise and conquer, let the infidels burn
Now we charge, the battle is raging,
blood runs everywhere
Our anger is fierce, avenging the years
No time for a final prayer
Behold, the might of the hammer,
elliptical bolts of fire
There’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
You’re down to the wire
Somewhere out there lies a new tomorrow
for me and those who believe
For a Hero’s Return our hearts still yearn
Rise and conquer, let the infidels burn
For a Hero’s Return our hearts still yearn
Rise and conquer, let the infidels burn
Oooh…
Now, I’ve returned from a place far beyond
My mission I set, let it be done
We still belive in a brighter future
The dreams are ours to fulfil
For a Hero’s Return….
