1. Under a Demon Moon
Strange and cold, the silver moonlight
shines upon their schemes
whispering forgotten secrets,
whispering forgotten secrets
deep within, deep within their dreams
Long lost mysteries, playing in their minds
of the black, of the dark lords
they`re comin`back, they`re comin`back...
bringing blood upon,
bringing blood upon the world
They are guided by starlight
they ride on the nightwolves back
marchin`under the blackend skies,
marchin`under the blackend skies
within a while, they`re ready to attack
Under a demon moon
these shadow kings do ride
under a demon moon
they`ve come to rule the night
under a demon moon
they`re lost inside their dreams
and maybe the demon moon is coming soon
2. Whisper of the Serpent
Mercury messenger
master of the crossways
spring suspending, fill my spirit
golden whisper, airy ferryman
sailin`from the east
on the wings of the wind
Lonely flower - flaming will
cracklin`energy under my skin
roaring red lion, flying pulse
roaming the south,
I`ve opened myself - fill me
Pearl grey warrior, ghostly search
prince of the twilight sail to the west
mistress of the sunset,
ancient serpent of the seas
pearl queen of the twilighty waters
silverstream, silverstream silently,
silently approach
Mother of mountains - mother of trees
mother of midnight - mother of earth
Pearl grey warrior...
3. Cradle of Time
Out on the oceans, a million years ago
from our dark past, life began to grow
Reptiles are crawling out of the blue
stepping on the land and are changing anew
They climb the high trees,
they conquer the lowlands
they gather the new tribes,
built weapons by their hands
It`s the night of the demon
it`s the time of your life, your life
It`s the night of the demon
it`s the time of your life
It`s the night of the demon...
And over the mountains
and outwards towards the sea
they come to kill for power,
without it they could not be
Two thousand years later
they`re still at war
with nature and mankind
so, let`s close the door
It`s the night of the demon...
Oh, it`s the time of your life
4. Prayer for the Lion Child
Silently the moon completes her movement
So lovely in the air, in the air
So noisely the sun will end his movement
But don’t you dare, don’t you dare
Dark is the heart of eternity
Who wants to will reach it
Through her masters angel, through the moon
Through the dark past, not too soon
One in life and death, highest desire,
deepest sorrow
Honey on your lips you’ll wade in blood
He who creates a sea of stars for a game,
to laughter will reduce our name
Garments will shred in the whirls of time
with rings and pearls to entwine
One in life and death, highest desire,
deepest sorrow
Honey on your lips you’ll wade in blood
See the lion-child swim and the moon is turning
See the lion-child fly and our souls are yearning
The angels kiss tastes honey-sweet
The willing has end, the will is reached
One in life and death, highest desire,
deepest sorrow
Honey on your lips you’ll wade in blood
5. The Dark
In room 66 things can`t be real
A young girl`s dying,
but there`s nothing to feel
A trap door well hidden,
that leads to the cellar, oh dear
and a voice calls: Come down, come down,
we`re all together here
Yes, and there`s dark, dark ages
and they`re blinding, oh you`re eyes
Yes, and there`s dark, dark stories
and they`re swirling up your mind
Yes, and there`s no lucky touch
and there`s no happy end
Yes, and that`s the way,
that`s the way life went
A man in a white jacket saying
that you always has been dead
a man in a white jacket saying
that you always has been dead
but there`s nothing to loose,
no reason to get mad
but there`s nothing to loose,
no reason to get mad
Yes, and a man with a black hood
his face only shining eyes
Yes, and a blackend mirror
only telling lies
A man in a white jacket...
A closet slowly opened
and one more reason to worry
all that and a voice askin`: „One more story?
6. Into the Twilight
Close to the edge, movin’ so fast
just like the hunted deer
chasin’ shadows that slip into darkness
the underworld’s drawing near
Men in black, dressed to kill
hiding in the dark and here they are
Lock out the wolves, shoot out the lights
a sign on the doorstep, blood on the floor
wait in the shadows, the force comes through
a sunken whisper, run to the door
The shining blades blind the eye
while terrorized minds are filled with awe
Into the twilight we all gonna fall
Dark is the shadow that waits in the hall
Seek and destroy or run if you may
Seek and destroy or run if you may
Now is the time where all life ends
we’ve never been closer to heaven before
but out of the dark we will arise
like lightning strikes down from the skies
Strange highways in sight
we’ve travelled so far we forgot
Into the twilight...
7. Dead End Race
And when the day goes, it`s coming out
and when the night comes, it`s flying `round
breathing it`s fire, it`s here to stay
out of the darklands where it reigns...
And when the day goes, it`s coming out
and when the night comes, it`s flying `round
breathing it`s fire, it`s here to stay
out of the darklands where it reigns...
Running from shadows face
can you find my long lost trace
running in a dead end race
can you find my long lost trace
Running fom fire of the dragon
it`s chasing me all down the line
can`t get me to straight thinking
confusion surgin`, surgin`my mind...
Running from shadows...
8. Baptice in Blood
9. A Reign af Shadows
W hen you hear the icy whisper
and you`ve lost your very way
and you`ve lost your very way
Lost and lonely, stumblin`blind
then you`re so far away
they will send you away she said
psychotic angels rise out of her head
red walls dancing round and await the dead
Enter the cold land, leave your warm dream
take this shiny hand, follow,
follow the silverstream
Enter the cold land, leave your warm dream
take this shiny hand, follow,
follow the silverstream
A reign of shadows, a hurricane
daylight fades, the night rides in
A reign of shadows, a hurricane
daylight fades, the night rides in
The night rides in
A reign of shadows...
Stormcloud gathering deep in the night
frost mornings are coming and chill winds do bite
rain hits the ground with thunder near by
dark ages are coming, lightning blinds the eye
Enter the cold land...
A reign of shadows...
10. Gates of Darkness
Follow us down into the deepest depths of hell
where angels fear to tread,
where angels fear to tread
follow us down through mighty dark caverns
follow us down, follow us down
Be careful - make no sound
Follow the red light throwing scary shadows
on the caverns wall, on the caverns wall
terrible thoughts and terrible fright,
terrible thoughts and terrible fright
Lurks deep under your feet
This is the way that,
this is the way that leads only,
this is the way that leads only downwards
This is the way that,
this is the way that leads only,
this is the way that leads only downwards
One gate to darkness, the second to light
the third is mortality, the fourth one is fright
the fifth leads to fire, the sixth to despair
enter the seventh gate, enter the seventh gate
enter the seventh gate - if you dare
This is the way that...
Seventh Gate, Seventh Gate
the seven gates to hell
Seventh Gate, Seventh Gate
the seven gates to hell...
11. Here Before
Out of the skies
comes the flying silver
machines of eternal grace
They ride strange winds
moving with power
through time and space
See them fly
see them return from the skies
to their homes
they were here before
they`ve opened up the door
to a new millenium
Out of the skies
come the wonderous creatures
people of eternal grace
They`re born on strange stars
Speaking of travel
between time and space
See them fly...
Out of the skies - we come in peace
Out of the skies - we come in peace...
See them fly...
Out of the skies...
