1. You're A Hero
Young boy looking to the stars
Wishing he was miles away
Fly out like a Peter Pan
But knowing that he has to stay
Oh oh, keep believing in your dreams
Oh oh, someday they'll come out real
Now and then he will throw a coin
In his secret wishing well
A fantasy is all he's got
Escaping from his private Hell
You're a hero
In your fantasy
You're a hero
You hold the key
Young man wants to be a star
And people think he's so naive
Friends laugh saying he's a fool
He has nothing to achieve
Oh oh, you're the master of your fate
Oh oh, don't ever hesitate
He's got just what it takes
To make it happen any time
Holds back, there's a hint of doubt
Got to cross the eternal line
You're a hero
In your fantasy
You're a hero
You hold the key
Old man never took the chance
Now he pays for his mistakes
He played the game of life
And he chose to play it safe
You're a hero
In your fantasy
You're a hero
You hold the key
You're a hero
In your fantasy
You're a hero
You hold the key
You can make it real
2. Race And Revel
All I wanna do
Race and revel
I'm out of the bar
Into my new black car
Gonna cruise down the boulevard
No mean feat
We already exceed
Any speed limit from the start
I'm out on a razzle
Escaping the hazzles
Of yet another weary day
The engine roars
As we keep our course
We're gonna race the blues away
I hear the tires cry
Friction supertight
All I wanna do
Race and revel
Letting all madness rule
All I wanna do
Race and revel
Fill up that special fuel
It's all over town
That siren sound
Echoing inside of my head
Nowhere to hide
No angel, no guide
But hell, they haven't got us yet!
Just gotta speed it up
Take it to the top
All I wanna do
Race and revel
Letting all madness rule
All I wanna do
Race and revel
Fill up that special fuel
All I wanna do
Race and revel
Letting all madness rule
Baby, me and you
With the devil
Riding on special fuel
As cars collide
Metal screaming in the night
The sharp silence cutting through
Now they say I'm insane
That I am to blame
When all I had was just a drink or two
You were my only friend
Seems sorrow has no end
All I wanna do
Race and revel
Letting all madness rule
All I wanna do
Race and revel
Fill up that special fuel
All I wanna do
Race and revel
Letting all madness rule
Baby, me and you
With the devil
Riding on special fuel
3. Land Of Tomorrow
Kneel down, bow for the ruler
Rise up, stand before the mighty king
The time has come, he will seal your fate
Danger, I can feel the evil
Sense the powers of the dark
I've been a fool and now it's too late
I hear the sentence read
Without a single regret
We fought and failed
Let the king believe he prevails
In my heart I have no fear
I can feel it's near
Land of tomorrow
Harvest of pain
Land of no sorrow
Where freedom reigns
For years I have lived in danger
Travelled far from north to south
Can't escape this place of no return
How long can you live a lie
How long when people still have hopes and dreams
Await the day the flame of hate will burn
The drums of war
Have sounded so often before
A nation in chains
Will rise and learn from the pain
We will tear the tyrant down
Now the seed is sown
Land of tomorrow
Harvest of pain
Land of no sorrow
Where freedom reigns
The drums of war
Have sounded so often before
A nation in chains
Will rise and learn from the pain
In my heart I have no fear
I can feel it's near
Land of tomorrow
Harvest of pain
Land of no sorrow
Where freedom reigns
4. We Came To Rock
Hailing from a land
Where vikings once used to reside
You gotta understand
We just want to rock day and night
Ages ago
Our ancestors set the world on fire
Still burning glows
Will blaze up and take our spirits higher
We came to rock
So welcome to the show
We meet face to face finally
Ready to explode
In league with the powers that be
We¨ve got wings to fly
With Thor we ride a thunder roar
We're here to defy
To seek out and conquer new shores
We came to rock
Bring on the night
And turn up the lights
We'll rock you all
Before curtain call
Hailing from a land
Where vikings once used to reside
You gotta understand
We just want to rock day and night
Ages ago
Our ancestors set the world on fire
Still burning glows
Will blaze up and take our spirits higher
We came to rock
5. Masquerade
Shadow world, action in the dark
Pretty girls, ignite the smallest spark
Operations in disguise
Behind the enemy lines
Gazing at the silver screen
Everything's unreal, a dream
Masquerade, powershade
Wise charade, sly facade
But what lurks underneath?
Investigate, tinker tailor soldier spy
Iliminate, obey and don't ask why
Secret missions to fulfill
Man with license to kill
Complete intrigues and mysteries
Beyond your wildest fantasies
Masquerade, power shade
Wise charade, sly facade
But what lurks underneath?
masquerade, fools' parade
Playing games that have no end
Forever incomplete
Modern age, high technology
Computer rage and war game industry
The KGB and CIA
know how to spy the modern way
Masquerade, power shade
Wise charade, sly facade
But what lurks underneath?
masquerade, fools' parade
Playing games that have no end
Forever incomplete
6. Jealousy Kills
It's a strange situation
A feeling I can't hide
Could be infatuation
Or maybe it's just pride
I wanna be your only one
It used to be a thrill
Now jealousy kills
We talk and talk for hours
I question you deny
But words have got the power
To cover up a lie
I analyze and twist your every word
In a search for frills
Jealousy kills
In blind attraction
We kill the passion
Trapped in a prison of the heart
And always lurking
The pain, the hurting
That fear our souls untill we part
Your love for me is dying
I sense it in the way
You tell me too much prying
Will never make you stay
My accusations tend to go too far
Now all I feel is guilt
Jealousy kills
In blind attraction
We kill the passion
Trapped in a prison of the heart
And always lurking
The pain, the hurting
That fear our souls untill we part
7. Now We Play To Win
Now that we have come this far
Do you know where we are?
Seems we have lost our way
So you're giving it all up
I know I'll reach the top
But you don't want to stay
I have learned from all the bad mistakes
Now all for one
We struggle until we've won
No matter what it takes
Now we play to win
And now we're never gonna lose again
Now at last what's wrong
It's time to carry on
Through all those many years
I've shed a lot of tears
But there's no time to cry
Who was wrong and who was right
There's been so many fights
There's been so many lies
Unkept promises and broken dreams
No grief or pain
Can stop our quest for fame
And we'll use any means
Now we play to win
And now we're never gonna lose again
Now at last what's wrong
It's time to carry on
8. Illusions Of Yesterday
Long ago in days untold
When kings and bishops reigned
The maids were proud and the knights were bold
A time of swords and saints
Take me back
Seduce me with your tales
Take me back
I'm yearning for those days
Crusaders sought the holy land
Bloodshed in their trail
Bravely fought their enemies
They'd rather die than fail
Take me back
Seduce me with your tales
Take me back
I'm yearning for those days
Illusions of yesterday
How long would they last
If I could gp back some way
And live in the past
Barbarians reside the north
In lands of ice and snow
Believed in gods from Valhalla
And feared not friend nor foe
Take me back
Seduce me with your tales
Take me back
I'm yearning for those days
9. Turning Out A Star
Sitting by the window
Just staring at the rain
As tears begin to flow in endless streams
And it feels like a nightmare
Continuing to hell
I don't wake up 'cos this is not a dream
They say that time heals every wound and broken hearts
Somehow I doubt it more and more
'Cos every time I think of you the hurting starts
The past is washed up on the shore
In corners of my mind
Memories are burning
Consolation I can't find
I wish you knew my yearning
Like turning out a star
Suddenly surrounded by the dark
Turning out a star
A light that travels far
But yours will shine forever
Too many vital things I left unsaid, undone
But I can't bring you back with tears
It's hard, so hard to realise you're dead and gone
And in my dreams you're still here
It's not easy when you're caught
In yesterday, mourning
But life is way too short
Another day is dawning
Like turning out a star
Suddenly surrounded by the dark
Turning out a star
A light that travels far
But yours will shine forever
