1. The Alchemist
Don't be, don't be, don't be afraid,
Sandman's coming to your bed to pray.
You live in a dream of a thousand faces
listening to the faeries singing and playing.
"Tell me, tell me, tell me your name"
Said the little girl with the blood red hair.
Follow the stars in the Northern sky,
don't be don't be afraid to die.
Don't bee afraid of the voice from the sky,
three stars are are falling so you can realize
life gave you blindness and death in the past,
but now free your eyes from the dust.
Pray the gods of the elements:
Air, Water, Earth, Fire
(Hell and Fire)
Help me, I'm in dire straits.
Death, war, desolation.
This is my creation.
Don't turn your eyes to the blaze of the Sun,
Night is the realm where your magic grows strong,
your love, your hate, your quest to fulfill;
the Nightmare is going to be real
Fire from your eyes
When the moons of magic rise,
you're the Master of Time
and my dreams become your life
Fire from your eyes
When the moons of magic rise,
you're the Master of Time
and my dreams become your life
Face the Dark, don't fear me
I am you, believe me
Now the Dragon is forging the Blade
And the Runes begin to pray
[Solo: Ragman]
[Solo: Alex Niall]
Fire from your eyes
When the moons of magic rise,
you're the Master of Time
and my dreams become your life
Fire from your eyes
When the moons of magic rise,
you're the Master of Time
and my dreams become your life
2. Birth of the Fallen Angel
Ab caelo venit
Et in terram cadit.
Jesus me ejecit
ob meam insolentiam.
Urbem condidi,
Milites institui.
Furiae, stregae
genuerunt Pandaemonium
Ob horrorem et odium.

3. Sabbath Day
Screaming and laughing dancing in your head
The angels arrive scorched by death
Today with the idea of destroying the world,
you can't escape, cause they are the witches of... (Death)
On Sabbath day you have to pray
From ashes come the murderers,
the Kings of the Death
(Hail to the Kings of the Death)
Sabbath day, you fear this day
cause they are the witches of... (Death)
[Solo: Alex Niall]
[Solo: Ragman]
Thunder and lightning obscured the sun
The fog is rising from Hell into your mind
Their satanic dancing has attacked your brain,
you can't escape, cause they are the witches of... (Death)
On Sabbath day you have to pray
From ashes come the murderers,
the Kings of the Death
[Hail to the Kings of the Death]
Sabbath day, you fear this day
cause they are the witches of... (Death)
[Solo: Ragman]
4. Wings of the Wind
"Listen to the wind", said the old man to the warrior
"Listen, it's talking to you, singing its sweet melodies,
Carrying lots of tales, tales of war, tales of peace."
"Listen, 'cause it'll speak to you
Everytime and everywhere"
Close your eyes I can feel it
Follow its path I can see it
Listen to the wind,
it's carrying melodies played by young ministrels
Listen to these songs and cry.
Listen to the wind,
it's carrying melodies played by young ministrels
Listen to these songs and cry.

"Get on my wings", said the wind to the warrior.
Unchain the weak spirit hidden beneath your armor
And I'll take you to a place
Where you will not have to fight.
Let the lady, my trusted, come and take it.
[Solo: Alex Niall]
Listen to the wind,
it's carrying melodies played by young ministrels
Listen to these songs and cry.
Listen to the wind,
it's carrying melodies played by young ministrels
Listen to these songs and cry.
Free your mind, give me your spirit,
the lady is coming for you,
let yourself be rocked by the wind
5. The Dark Before...
Madness in my eyes,
I would have never died
The dragon flies over me
And I can't kill him
His shadow covers my soul
And I can't get out of here,
maybe I don't have the strength
or maybe I don't want to
I ride the dragon,
but I don't fight him,
I can't defeat him
Because I'm already dead
Killed by you or by myself,
trapped in my soul,
lost in my spirit,
I will never die
Fire burns my soul
Water purifies my body,
Wind blows my dust away,
Earth will keep me forever
You'll never find my body,
you'll never see my smile again,
you'll just have those few damned words
that will stay with you forever
Earth, water, wind, fire...
The dark before...
6. The War of Races
We are gonna blow this place away,
we're here to kill Dwarves and Elves.
Your end is drawing closer,
we got the magic power.
Gather around young warriors,
only the strong survive.
[Solo: Lorenzo Zirilli]
Time of war, time of blood,
time of war, time of witchery
Time of war, time of blood,
time of war, time of witchery
From time to time
a warrior found the strength to hurl his axe or throw the lance,
and for a while the fury of the battle grew stronger,
but it was soon lost against the wall of shields.
Trolls, Gnomes, powerful magicians:
you cannot kill the justice.
Now it's time for your fate to come true,
there ain't no escape for you.
Gather around Druids, Dwarves and Elves,
fighting for a cause.

8. Lone Warrior
[Solo: Alex Niall]
Screams of pain
'till morning comes to face the night,
but dark's still calling.
From right to wrong
My soul has been wondering all this time.
The sea of blood,
the war, the blades are far from here.
All desperate tears we cried in vain
for reasons that now are far and gone.
The blood, the thunder,
the scream of the innocent,
the sorrow, the torment
are roaming my mind.
Dust on my sword,
emptiness fillin' me.
There are no more reasons
to cry or to laugh.
Screams of pain
'till morning comes far away from now.
Screams of pain,
who's to blame for my useless life?
God saved my soul, where's the reason why?
My heart is bleeding, I'll wait till twilight.
War is now calling, I can stand no more.
Maybe my way is not here anymore
Right before my eyes
He's standing marching on the ground
Right before my eyes
He's calling me
Right before my eyes
The master of Space, Time and War
Right before my eyes
Now it's my time
[Solo: Ragman]
[Solo: Giulio Capone]
Now the time has come
for me to fight again,
Please now let me
take my sword to fight again
Now the time has come
for me to fight again,
Please now let me
take my sword to fight again
[Solo: Alex Niall]
Screams of pain
'till morning comes to face the night,
but dark's still calling.
From right to wrong
My soul has been wondering all this time.
The sea of blood,
the war, the blades are far from here.
All desperate tears we cried in vain
for reasons that now are far and gone.
God saved my soul, where's the reason why?
My heart is bleeding, I'll wait till twilight.
War is now calling, I can stand no more.
Maybe my way is not here anymore
Don't wanna live no more
My life has lost all its meaning
Don't wanna waste again tears and blood
Right before my eyes
He's standing, taking up my hands
He takes my soul with him
and carries it away
9. Pandaemonium
An ancient man was riding with death in his heart,
his beautiful black horse was trying to understand
why the ancient rider was crying
while looking from his hand to the gloomy sky.
His heavy black sword was shining in the air,
all was the result of his damaged brain.
Hate invaded my brain,
destruction's the only thing I want.
Desire of blood
Burns in my head cause I will shine
In a gloomy world...
Time of glory, time of decadence,
living or burning, strength or loneliness,
winner or loser, you can't make your choice,
dream up a future, it will be your life.
(it will be your life)
Fly with your soul before you die
cause your name in this world will just mean death.
I escape cause this is Pandemonium
Death's the one god to pray,
fog and fire begin to rise again
like creatures of the mind,
a corrupted mind born to reign
in a gloomy world
Time of glory, time of decadence,
living or burning, strength or loneliness,
winner or loser, you can't make your choice,
dream up a future, it will be your life.
(it will be your life)
Fly with your soul before you die
cause your name in this world will just mean death.
I escape cause this is Pandemonium
