1. Prelude For The Oracle (Intro)
2. Circle Of Time
From the first moment of time
The fabric of life stars to unwind
With every breath
Closer to death
With every passing day
Oceans are made
Starting with single drops of rain coming down
Season change
Rearranging
And every ending becomes the beginning
The world keeps spinning
And the circle keeps on turning evermore
Gone forever each moment pure
But tomorrow, morning sun is gonna shine
There's no stopping the circle of time
Dynasties going to war
Fight to the last to even the score
Win or lose, still they want more
Power and Majesty, tempered with greed
Holding to key the peace that they never see
Season change
Rearranging
And every ending becomes the beginning
The world keeps spinning
And the circle keeps on turning evermore
Gone forever each moment pure
But tomorrow, morning sun is gonna shine
There's no stopping the circle of time
3. City Of The Dead
City of golden desing
Buried with unspoken treasure inside
Nobody knows of the danger it hides
Center of power and greed
Deep in the tomb's where they planted the seed
Waiting for victims
Ready to feed
It's the city of the dead
Lonely streets where ancient spirits tread
In the city of the dead
You can hear the voice in your head
In the temple's secret passage
Evil curses said
Heed their warning to stay away
City of the dead
Hundreds of centuries old
Places where legends and stories are told
Unknowing victims come searching for gold
It's the city of the dead
Lonely streets where ancient spirits tread
In the city of the dead
You can hear the voice in your head
In the temple's secret passage
Evil curses said
Heed their warning to stay away
City of the dead
4. Vengeance For Blood
Another day lonely day
Fading to grey
There's no getting away
So tired of lying away
Feeling my cold heart break
There's nothing more I can take
I know before morning comes
I'll do what has got to be done
I'm gonna make it right tonite
Tonite
I'm riding for vengeance
Vengeance for blood
I'm racing the engines
Vengeance for blood
For everything you have done
Your time has come
Now there's nowhere to run
You have started a war
You escaped death before
But you won't anymore
I know before morning comes
I'll do what has got to be done
I'm gonna make it right tonite
Tonite
I'm riding for vengeance
Vengeance for blood
I'm racing the engines
Vengeance for blood
It's time to make you play
There's nothing you can do
Don't you know I got nothing to lose
I been counting every hour
Til I see your face
How much longer will I have to wait!
5. Atlantis
Ancient
Mysterious
Lost in the red mist of time
Pillars of hercules
Leads to the city of light
Your golden temples I see
Walls made of jewels
And two sacred pools of peace
Bursting with light
Like a thousand suns
How could you just disappear under the sea!
Searching for atlantis
Searching for the city of gold
Danger and illusion
Atlantis forbidden city of old
City of giants and garden of eden it's said
Are you hiding or are you the realm of the dead
I still smell your perfume so sweet
Elysian fields
And thick fertile forests so deep
Your holy mountain has fallen
Now fire and water
Your dark secrets will keep
Searching for atlantis
Searching for the city of gold
Danger and illusion
Atlantis forbidden city of old
6. Interlude "Prelude No.2 BWV 847"
7. Death Row
Counting the days in a 5 by 8 room
There's so much that I haven't done
Waiting alone for my bringer of doom
And I've got nowhere to run
Mayve I'm only dreaming
Wish I could wake up
The clock keeps ticking closer to my dying day
Bow it won't be long until they lake me away
Praying for the governor to give me a stay
Watchin' every second as it's slipping away
Letters I've written but nobody cares
What is a guilty life worth
They say that killing the killer of fair
Their justice has to be served
Here in my worst true nightmare
Wish I could wake up
The clock keeps ticking marching on with nothing to say
Now it won't be long until my dying day
Praying for the governor to give me a stay
Watchin' every second as it's slipping away
8. Samurai
Moon in the eastern sky
The warrior's lullaby
The rising sun
Soon will come
A glorious time to die
Armour, lance and sword
Murder, aim and gore
On and on
Generals fight destiny
Soon they're gone
To the world of dreams
Song of the Samurai
Living and dying for honor and glory
Their whole life forsaking
For all time awaking
Legends forever
On gilded horses ride
As arrows start to fly
And blood will spill
Up until
Everything wrong's made right
Armour, lance and sword
Murder, aim and gore
On and on
Generals fight destiny
Soon they're gone
To the world of dreams
9. Dreams Of Empire
As the trumpets of Charlemagne sing
Brave knights march
For the great and mighty king
In aces dark
Fight the battles
Of a holy war
For the empire
Kill by the score
No glory no story
Just too young to die
No sign for no time for
One soldiers cry
From the power of Napoleon's crown
Empire reigns
For the conquest of all around
In his name
In the cross-fire
Of a thousand guns
Simple soldier
Nowhere to run
No glory no story
Just too young to die
No sign for no time for
One soldiers cry
It's always the same
So many heroes are dying unamed
Thiers is no flame
10. Guitar Solo
