1. Under The Crescent
Oh,so dark, inside my heart
Oh,so cold ...if you weren't so far away
Clairvoyant stare,a moonclad fate
Absent beauty ,for you I wait
Come to me,come to me,come to me,oh goddess of love
Come to me,come to me,cleanse my heart and cleanse my soul
2. Eyes Of The Sky
You opened my heart when you opened your eyes
And I beheld the dawn of the hidden sky
I felt a breeze, so gentle and mild
And when I glanced the sunrise, then I knew I could fly
Oh, I see the sky, in your eyes
Please grab my hand and take me away
Take me into your eyes to meet a beautiful day
Take me into the sky, where the birds always sing
And put me on a cloud, where dreams begin
And when sunset comes let me watch the stars
Don't close your eyes cause it would break my heart
Oh,please my love, please let me see
Don't close your eyes, cause you know it would kill me
Oh,I see the sky, in your eyes
Oh,a beautiful sky, down deep in your eyes
3. Upon The Highest Mountain
I wish, I dream, a dream of mountains high
Where I can sit and look down hills, and say "This is I"
I wish, I dream, a dream of mountains high
Where I can stand and raise my hands, and touch the sky
A streak of light, opened in the darkness
"Little child, welcome to the outer realms
This is your kingdom, this is your destiny"
That little child, that little child was me
"My son, you must wander far
There is a place, seek it skywards
Up high, where the mountains break the clouds
There is your place, upon the highest mountain"
A wish to wander far, to find the mountains high
A dream to be a king, up high where heaven lies
"Hurry little child, run, king to be, run
Climb the highest peak, and reach for the sun..."
I wish, I dream, a dream of mountains high
Where I can sit and look down hills, and say
" This is I"
I wish, I dream, a dream of mountains high
Where I can stand and raise my hands, and touch the sky
A strek of light, brought into the darkness
A young man, wandered into outer realms
Oh, his destiny, that he was a king to be
That young man, that young man was me
"My son, you have wandered far
Now make your seal, make it up skywards
Up high, where mountains break the clouds
There is your place, upon the highest mountain"
Upon the highest mountain...
Upon the highest mountain...
Upon the highest mountain...
4. As Daylight Yields
Closed the door to the world below
Where demons sleep and evil grows
But when night falls, and shadows grow long
They'll enter from the world of beyond
When darkness clouds, they'll ride from the other side
When the night comes, and daylight yields
They come to you, and haunt your dreams
Closed the door to the world down deep
Lost the key to where evil sleeps
But in nightmare lands, there the candles light
The sign of evil that brings forth the night
When darkness clouds, they'll ride from the other side
When the night comes, and daylight yields
They come to you, and haunt your dreams
As daylight yields, it brings forth the night
Around the cenotaph, now burns candle lights...
When darkness clouds, they'll ride from the other side
When the night comes, and daylight yields
They come to you, and haunt your dreams
When the night hides, and shadows are long
They come to you, and take you beyond
5. Greater Art
There is a land, a land of greater art
But high mountains hide its heart
The gods play there, a soft sound of harps
And in the air shine silver stars
There is a land, a land that mountains guard
A land for most mortals far
But if you pure in heart, the time will come to you
When you may follow an avatar through
But here close the avatars words...
"Get your eagle wings, upon highest ground
Fill those wings with air and fly around
Seek the lands, ride the winds
Ride into its heart, the realms within
On eagle wings, of highest ground
Carried to the place where art is found
A beauty great, inside its heart
Beyond the lost land of greater art"
There is a land, the land of greater art
Where gods play on golden harps
Their music so great, a melodic and beautiful sound
And it reaches even the highest ground
But into this land, where all are friends
Comes so greed of mortal men
And through a heart, a heart that evil hides
The dark now comes inside
No music sounds, no harps to play
The gods have left, now they're far away
Dark the land, broken silver stars
All that remains, are only memories of greater art
You still hear the avatars words...
"Get your eagle wings, upon highest ground
Fill those wings with air and fly around
Seek the lands, ride the winds
Ride into its heart, the realms within
On eagle wings, of highest ground
Carried to the place where art is found
A beauty great, inside its heart
Behold the lost land of greater art"
6. Evil Inside
Universal bond, we're all the same
Evil man, not to be tamed
Open your mind, and you will find
You're just as evil, as evil as I
There's a little bit of evil, inside if you
A little bit of evil, inside you too
Man of mercy, sinister disguise
Cause I see evil, evil in your eyes
Unmask youself, and you will find
You're just as evil, as evil as I
There's a little bit of evil, inside of you
A little bit of evil, inside you too
Evil ! Evil, evil, evil...
7. Netherworld
Shadows dance, in the moonlight
A chanting dance, in the dark night
A chanting hum, to summon the wind
To summon her, and the spell she brings
"Come now", the wind calls
"Come into the netherworld
Come now, come within
Into the land of the cold blowing wind"
She comes in the dark, a voice in her glimpse
"I am the silence, and the whispering wind
Come, come to me, come and take my hand
Come, come with me, into shadowland..."
"Come now", the wind calls
"Come into the netherworld
Come now, come within
Into the land of cold blowing wind"
Hand in hand, on the dark and devious path
Through the misty land, where shadows walk
"Come into shadowland, to where the winds blows cold
And become a shadow, of the netherworld..."
Dark and evil, with the face so grim
"I am the silence, and the whispering wind
Come, come to me, come and take my hand
Come, come follow me, into shadowland..."
"Come now", the wind calls
"Come into the netherworld
Come now, come within
Into the land of cold blowing wind"
8. Tears
A thousand tears, tears in my eyes
Tears from my heart, from down deep inside
For now you are to fly, to fly far away
Fly to heaven's land, to where the angels stay
And the night will even hide, hide those ravens that fly
Angel wings, takes you ashore
Angel heart, it opens the door
On your path, all evil has fied
Don't be afraid of what lies ahead
Angel wings, takes you away
To heaven, where the other angels stay
Tired wings, but still far to fly
To heaven, to paradise...
The empty sky, is dark this night
Besides one star, that seems to shine so bright
And soon my love, my dearest friend
In heaven's land, we shall meet again...
And the night will even hide, hide those ravens that fly
Angel wings, takes you ashore
Angel heart, it opens the door
On your path, all evil has fied
Don't be afraid of what lies ahead
Angel wings, takes you away
To heaven, where the other angels stay
Tired wings, but still far to fly
To heaven, to paradise...
