1. A Foreign Road
A road into shadows, on through haunted meadows
A road so old, so dark, the trail where the damned walk
As only darkness cares, I choose to wander here
A time to evil be, as death awaits me ...
A road dark, where the damned walk
A road old, open arms to fold me
I recall the crossroads, the junction of the ways
The misty morning fog, when I chose my faith
As no one ever cared, I chose to be all you fear
A time to evil be, damnation waits me ...
A road dark, where the damned walk
A road old, open arms to fold me
2. Raven Land
Do you know what you fear of the ravens dark
Do you know what they hide, hide within their hearts
Can you see the sorrow within their eyes
Can you hear their cries, when the fiddle dies ...
Mistletoe, friend of foe, so black upon the moor
Fallen leaves coloured red, blood of all the dead
Into mist they'll take you soul, they'll take your heart
And none of flames shall burn with the ravens dark
Raven land - mistletoe
Raven land - friend of foe
Whispering winds from the land of the nevermore
Bringing tales of the dead, dead in times before
Can you hear the shadows within the night
Can you see the flames, as the fire dies ...
Mistletoe, not a foe, black friend upon the moor
And the leaves coloured red, tears from all the dead
In the mist they keep your soul, they keep your heart
And all of flames shall burn with the ravens dark
Raven land - mistletoe
Raven land - friend of foe
3. Dreamdemons
The hour late, outside it's dark
You better stay inside now
Or you may get caught in my wrath
And I will send the demons
You'll run but you cannot hide
And I will send all my minions
To haunt you ...
Only evil dreams you'll find
Evil deamons by their side
Howling winds, outside it's cold
You better lock your doors now
Or you may be held by the foul
And I will send the demons
You'll run but you cannot hide
And I will send all my minions
To haunt you ...
Only evil dreams you'll find
Evil deamons by their side
You took my heart
So I'll take yours
Only evil dreams you'll find
And demons by their side
I will send the the demons
And I will send all my minions
The hour's late, outside it's evil
You better stay inside now
Or you will be caught by the foul
And I will send the demons
You'll run but you cannot hide
And I will send all my minions
To haunt you ...
Only evil dreams you'll find
Evil deamons by their side
4. Sweetwater
Take me where the sweet water flows
Take me where the winds of spring blow
As swaying as tide, bitter and sweet combined
I close my eyes ...
Nothing to fear, there is no evil near
Only you and me
And water sweet, shallow but oh so deep
So very deep
Take me where the sweet water flows
Take me where the winds of spring blow
Different somehow, see so much clearer now
I open my eyes ...
Wandering dim, deep down into the dream
Of obscurity
With water deep, bitter but oh so sweet
So very sweet
Take me where the sweet water flows
Take me where the winds of spring blow
5. Life's But A Dream
6. Headstones
Past the forest of the flies of fire
Beyond the waters of shimmering tears
By a fire they stand
And they whisper my name
Now I seek upon the night
Small fragments of moonlight
Up the hill the headstones lie
Up the hill the reapers watching eye
Up the hill the headstones lie
Headstones ...
In the circle of stones dressed in ivy
By the garden of the serene flowers
And the spirits are there
Whispering my name
Now I seek upon the night
Small fragments of moonlight
Up the hill the headstones lie
Up the hill the reapers watching eye
Up the hill the headstones lie
Headstones ...
7. Twilight
Sleeping twilight, slumber shall divide
Beware the moon mans hypnotizing eye
Spheres of silver, lit upon the sky
Short is the time ...
The day fades away
The night closes in on your way
Weeping twilight, silver tears you cry
Seeds of starlight turns day into night
Burning horizon, fruits of gold to drown
Soon to be gone ...
The day fades away
The night closes in on your way
8. Burn Fire Burn
Burn beacon fires, blow horns of doom
Sinister ascendancy, death's coming soon
We shall take the fire everywhere
And all our enemies shall burn, yeah
In the fire they all shall die ...
And like the dragons we shall reign
Reign in fire, reign in flames
We bring the fire where we turn
Burn fire burn
Flames upon Faerun, sound battle cries
Raging fires, time to die
We shall take the fire everywhere
And all our enemies shall burn, yeah
In the fire they all shall die ...
And like the dragons we shall reign
Reign in fire, reign in flames
We bring the fire where we turn
Burn fire burn
Fire burning everywhere, death has come
Upon Faerun, our work is done
We shall take the fire everywhere
And all our enemies shall burn, yeah
In the fire they all shall die ...
And like the dragons we shall reign
Reign in fire, reign in flames
We bring the fire where we turn
Burn fire burn
9. The Path Of The Gods (Upon The Highest Mountain, Part 2)
I still dream of the mountains, where I used to be a king
King of all outer realms, how I wish to return ...
"Welcome back my son, I have waited for a long time
Waited for the king to return, I have something to show you
Upon the highest mountain, way up by the horizon
Lies an ancient path, the path of the gods ..."
I've climbed the mountains high
And walked among the clouds
I've reached the outer realms
Seen past the fields of wildgrown flowers
"Seek the opening of sanguine painted clouds
Carried gently upon caressing winds
There by the boundaries of seldom broken lines
Lies the way ..."
These sanguine clouds I saw
Appear at heaven's shore
Swept by the woken wind
Stray in the garden of tranquillity
"See through the many eyes of the dragonfly
Hear the flowers bloom in early spring
And see the lines of life untouched by time
Upon the way ..."
Faerie choirs sing
And gently flap their wings
And by this creek so small
Gathered slowly, drinking unicorns
"Stray pilgrim, god to be
Stray wanderer, 'all these realms' belong to thee"
Small creatures coming near
Then turn to disappear
All while the faeries sing
Ode to waters, ode to winds
"Stray pilgrim, god to be
Stray wanderer, 'all these realms' belong to thee"
The path of gods ...
