2. The Fourth Legacy
settle for the journey
sail across the seven seas
carried by the spirit of the brave
join the New Allegiance now
and pledge your sacred heart
a history that no one can forsake
flying like an eagle from oblivion
rising in the mirror of the sky
you will find the New Allegiance
like a beacon in the night
if you're searching for salvation
reach inside
there's a new world approaching
a fire to be seen
in following The Fourth Legacy
once you find the passage
to another promised land
don't forget the ones you left behind
flying like an eagle from oblivion
guided by the rising morning star

if you're searching for salvation
reach inside

a fire to be seen
in following The Fourth Legacy
there's glory in the distance
for the one's that pay the price
ignorance creates a subtle mind
keep the fighting spirit
never close your eyes
don't forget the ones you left behind
flying like an eagle from oblivion
rising in the mirror of the sky
you will find the New Allegiance
like a beacon in the night
if you're searching for salvation
reach inside
there's a new world approaching
a fire to be seen
in following The Fourth Legacy
3. Silent Goddess
I rest my eyes
on the open field
a silver line
to heavens gate
my mind is blank
it's a state I know
a sacred place
where all I see is hate
I raise my head
to retain my wrath
the savage force
that lives inside of me
foe to foe
one will die and one will be
and I pray she holds my soul
can you hear me calling?
silent goddess won't you
conduct my fear away
silent goddess won't you be
closer when I hate
the battle cries
and the sound of steel
another quest
for holy land
some true belief
in each open wound
in Luna's light the lonely victor stands
and I hope she holds my soul
can you hear me calling?
silent goddess won't you
conduct my fear away
silent goddess won't you be
closer when I hate
silent goddess will you
forever be the same
silent goddess can you
feel this heart pulsate
you know that I die for belief
I swear by the sword in my hand
the sum of the pain and the grief
is nothing compared to the
wealth I obtain
and the spirit of god can expand
4. Desert Reign
5. Nights of Arabia
came across the waters
a kingdom in the sands
unfaithful to the sultan
a killing was at hand
challenged to survival
a legacy of fear
eternal mystic legends
one for every tear
nights of Arabia
the queen has lost her right to life
nights of Arabia
her destiny in story lines
nights of Arabia
a thousand tales and one for life
these are nights of Arabia
whispers in the moonlight
a gathering of vales
circled round the fire
to hear this evenings tale
standing on the threshold
the crest of darkened nights
seduction of the hunter
the slave regains her might
"lost inside a shadow
erase the sins I've made
heavenly reward me
with mercy on my fate"
nights of Arabia
the queen has lost her right to life
nights of Arabia
her destiny in story lines
nights of Arabia
a thousand tales and one for life
these are nights of Arabia
Sheherazade will never die
the sultan relents his feeble heart
his love for the queen is greater than he'll ever know
"it's easy to let you feed my nights
someone to touch, someone to hold,
someone to feel, someone to love"
"here I am to die alone
voices from heaven above
hear my call awaken my soul
forgive me for what I have done"
challenged to survival
a legacy of fear
eternal mystic legends
one for every tear
6. The Shadow of Uther
due to the legend
a new king will come
rise in the morning horizon
brave and believing
for wars to be won
born with the heart of a lion
he will fight for a country unite
till the last drop of blood confines the oath
till all will respect him wherever he roams
deep in the woods
he can hear she's alive
lost in the dark
of a dragons lament
searching the highlands
in trying to find
trace of Morgana
the Princess of Hate
he will be holding
the sword in the stone
knights of the kingdom will join him
bring back the honor
of Pendragons name
from where the cauldron is boiling
but the shadow of Uther restrains
all the efforts to reunite the realm
a witch of his own blood from heaven expelled
deep in the woods
there are prints in the sand
leading towards
where the angels repent
king of the ocean
king of the land
nothing can save him
from Merlin's consent
coming of storms
battles of war
knights of thunder are fearless
thus goes the legend
the tale I was told
now we await his appearance
but the shadow of Uther remains
there is no way the king can break the oath
the shadow will follow wherever he roams
7. A Sailorman's Hymn
can you hear the sirens resound?
from the coastline of Ireland tonight
it's the song of a promising heart
of the souls that the ocean unite
and she stands by the window alone
staring into the rain
she is trying to guide his way home
from the waters that keep them apart
so she lights up a candle for hope to be found
captive and blind by the darkness around
firm as a mountain, she never will mourn
timeless awaiting the break of dawn
can you hear the sailorman's hymn?
as it comes with the rise of the tide
it is sung where the rainbow begins
as a comfort for tears she has cried
she remains by the window alone
staring into the rain
she is trying to guide his way home
keeps on praying for god to protect him
she lights up a candle for hope to be found
captive and blind by the darkness around
each wave a promise, a new hope reborn
sunrise consoles at the break of dawn
8. Alexandria
far across the sea
a piece of history
in Egypt's land
I'll build a city
beautiful and strong
beyond belief
a new metropolis
to redefine my destiny
rise and shine Alexandria
under protection of my name
pure, divine, and imperial
a place to watch the stars
the center of the earth
I see it all...my worlds converging
and to guide a king's armada through the night
I raise the seventh wonder to delight Poseidon
rise and shine Alexandria
under protection of my name
pure, divine, and imperial
make me the city of a living angel
casting shades all over Babylon
hailing me, a holy son of god
as a monument of time
and the goals that I achieved
make a sculpture of my mind
9. The Inquisitor
I am a cleric
serving god the king and queen
I claim confession
and true belief by any means
purification heal heretics
burn the demons out
and god's behind me
watch my each and every move
you know I'll find you
in the shadow of a shattered moon
come all you witches
my procedures are approved
won't you let me ease your sorrow
let me guide you through the night
all my methods clean and thorough
don't you fear the light
I reassemble
broken souls and wasted lives
I raise my head and see
my father through the blood red skies
and in my dreams I know he holds my sanctuary
so all you witches bow to the auto-de-fe
just close your eyes and listen to my holy say
you disbelievers
little do you know
won't you let me ease your sorrow
purify your poisoned veins
there is yet a new tomorrow
I will ease your pain
ease your pain
the fire's burning wild
ease your pain
the inquisition
has drained the demons
like I said it would
10. Glory
sworn by the crown
I lead a crusade
fight for belief to be one
out in the field
fearless and cold
building the road to my Calvary
strong is my steel
dark is my mind
carmine the ground that I tread
faith in my god
keeps me alive
but when does my faith turn to doubt
silently watching the rain
carving the earth on my grave
lord you know that I prayed
one for the glory
and one for the souls that I've slain
how will I know
how could I tell
where would I find some serenity
sowing the seed
unwounded I bleed
lord won't you show me the way
christ is the cross that I bear
god is the will of my war
faint are the voices I hear
whispers of glory...
christ is the cry of despair
cursing the day I was born
this is the faith that we share
left with the glory
and suffering of souls that we've torn
11. Until Kingdom Come
in the black of the night she appears
I can see that she's trying
to relocate the source of my fears
I've been searching her high and low
in this dream she will show me the door
to a new revelation
and I know that I've seen her before
that she'll bring me salvation
I remember when she was still alive
always there by my side
every day is a fight to survive
every minute a shattered memory
like the sun shining down on me
like the breeze on the ocean
you're the path of my destiny
I know you will follow me until Kingdom Come
when I watch from the tower at night
into fading horizons
I can see her shade in the twilight
dressed in silver she's dancing
I remember as if it was today
always there by my side
you are reason, and relief to my pain
and one day we will reunite
like the sun shining down on me
like the breeze on the ocean
you're the path of my destiny
I know you will follow me until Kingdom Come
like the sun shining down on me
like the breeze on the ocean
you're the path of my destiny
I'll follow my heart until Kingdom Come
12. Lunar Sanctum
little do I know
little do I care
little would it help
if knew and was aware
aim beyond the stars
catch a glimpse of gold
a planetary chart
where the stories are untold
there's a piece of truth for everyone
give me something to die for
like a sacrifice for days bygone
in my solitude
there's a place where I want to hide
with a view to a shallow moon
there's a star in my cosmic mind
that reminds me of you
a gathering of wolfs
under luna's light
fear of the unknown
make us worshippers at night
there's a compromise for everyone
but I need something to die for
like a sacrifice for days bygone
in my solitude
there's a place where I want to hide
with a view to a shallow moon
there's a star in my cosmic mind
that reminds me of you
tokens of the afterlife
feeding on the blood of christ
chasing for an alibi
searching for the holyland
following the masterplan
does it matter in end?
souls unwoken
hearts unbroken
lunar rites
seize tonight
