1. Merlin
MERLIN
Fascinated by the stone
Zed Yago fell in a hole
Through dimensions
Without any control
She met down under
The world from over yonder
The greatest of all wizards
Merlin, priest of superstition
If you need help
Send a call up here
Strong willpower only
Makes Merlin appear
A spririt force
And fantasy
Priest of superstition is Merlin
Merlin, druid of the celts
Showed her his world
And King Arthur’s table
With the knights who were able
To guard the gates of Camelot
No magic, whatever
Whatever could stop
The ruin, ruin of Camelot
If you need help
Send a call up here
Brave willpower only
Makes Merlin appear
A spririt force
And fantasy
The priest of superstition is Merlin
Queen and priest, witch and the beast
Druid and dwarf, all live there, hidden and apart
If you need help
Send a call up here
Brave willpower only
Makes Merlin appear
A spririt force
And fantasy
Priest of superstition is Merlin
If you need help
Send a call up here
Brave willpower only
Makes Merlin appear
A spririt force
And fantasy
Priest of superstition is Merlin
2. Brainsuckers: Thommyknockers
Maybe a poetry-creation
Sometimes the result of fantasy
Maybe a writer’s invention
Tomorrow it will be reality
Devouring only human spirit
Alien invasion
Glutton beasts all over
Every nation
Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the day of doom
Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the blood on the moon
Maybe they live in a deadman’s swamp
Foul treasure under their knees
That’s where the ghosts of men once killed
Guard the fantastic seeds
There, where no colour can be
They’re waiting to come
Jungle of fantasy
Restless on the run
Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the day of doom
Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the blood on the moon
Black letters telling us more and more
We make the same mistakes just like we did before
Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the day of doom
Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the blood on the moon
Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the day of doom
Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the blood on the moon
3. Perceval
Search to find the mystic grail
Reach out for rainbow’s light
Wish to live, forever young
Passion without fright
Love against the dark of night
Noble, brave and true
Journey into force of life
The power’s all for you
A neverending quest for love
On the shore of memories
Timeless on a land of luck
The Ryche of spirit beneath
At the end of life, we are sure
But how to overcome the end
On the way to the grail
To the depth of experience
Fight back, Perceval
Find the wheel of fortune
Fight back, Perceval
And find the mystic grail
Fight back, Perceval
Find the wheel of fortune
Fight back, Perceval
And find the mystic grail
One man’s always ready to go
To convince every tear
Wheel goes up and down with you
Immortality won’t appear
Horn of plenty, a grail’s name
Made by druids of the celts
Isa thousand years old
That’s what the legend tells
Fight back, Perceval
Find the wheel of fortune
Fight back, Perceval
And find the mystic grail
Fight back, Perceval
Find the wheel of fortune
Fight back, Perceval
And find the mystic grail
Fight back, Perceval
Find the wheel of fortune
Fight back, Perceval
And find the mystic grail
4. HM Rebels
Too little to live
Too much to die
In a royal land
Call of the wild
Follow the yearning
It happened once upon a time
In the Kingdom
Of the giants
There’s nothing left to win
Call of the sea
They had to find
The point of no return
Pirates out to serve
Service of HM
Rebels die hard
Heroes of HM
Her Majesty, rebels die hard
Sailed the sea
Bit the clouds
Until they got the call to fight
Buccaneers on Her
Her Majesty’s service
Buccaneers now with all rights
Pirates out to serve
Service of HM
Rebels die hard
Heroes of HM
Her Majesty, rebels die hard
Fire, fire
Fire down below, fire
Pirates out to serve
Service of HM
Rebels die hard
Heroes of HM
Her Majesty, rebels die hard
Die hard
5. Persifal
Take this, this is our heart
This is our soul
Take Rock n’n Roll to prove you are alive
6. Millstone of Rage
Her life has one way
No time to wait
She’s on a mery-go-round
Blood so hot
Nothing can stop
Stop, the fow in her veins, no doubt
Millstone of rage
Grinds slowly but well
From heaven above
Through the world to hell
Millstone of rage
Grinds slowly but well
From heaven above
Through the world to hell
Fools of destruction
Bad satisfaction
Should not have the last word
Thoughts are free
Start and see
Trust and believe only your own roots
Millstone of rage
Grinds slowly but well
From heaven above
Through the world to hell
Millstone of rage
Grinds slowly but well
From heaven above
Through the world to hell
Somebody out there
You better take care
With your double-cross snake-bite
Cold as ice
She realized
The force of time’s still on her side
Millstone of rage
Grinds slowly but well
From heaven above
Through the world to hell
Millstone of rage
Grinds slowly but well
From heaven above
Through the world to hell
7. Hammerhouse
Something grey came along
On a pale horse with blue eyes
He was riding on, so strong
Came from paradise
Up there in heaven he started the ride
A ride no one can beat
A burning fire yellow, red
A rain of evil seed
Hammerhouse of mystery
Knight of pale surprise
Leader of the fallen spirit
God of the flies
Hammerhouse of mystery
Knight of pale surprise
Leader of the fallen spirit
God of the flies
King of lies
And they gave him the power
That he would need
To rule the fourth part of the world
A one-way ticket, indeed
Hammerhouse of mystery
Knight of pale surprise
Leader of the fallen spirit
God of the flies
Hammerhouse of mystery
Knight of pale surprise
Leader of the fallen spirit
God of the flies
King of lies
What is the fourth part of the world
Number one is heaven, two is water
What is the fourth part of the world
Three is the earth and four is hell
Hammerhouse of mystery
Knight of pale surprise
Leader of the fallen spirit
God of the flies
Hammerhouse of mystery
Knight of pale surprise
Leader of the fallen spirit
God of the flies
King of lies
God of the flies
King of lies
God of the flies
Flies...
Flies...
8. World Beyond the World
There is a world behind the world
Ruled by the lady of the sea
There is a world behind the world
Where every dream comes true
Once upon a time
A world called Avalon
Women’s island, behind the stone
Search for the doors
Soem large, some small
Take the chance to go to Avalon
Where elves are free
Once upon a time
Christians came along
And they injected the twilight of the gods
They had one God
One holy door
No one should wish to go to Avalon
Where elves are free
World behind the world
Ruled by the lady of the sea
World behind the world
Where every dream can be
Can be reality
Once upon a time
Doors vanished one by one
The goddess’ home was out of sight
Temple’s gate
Turned into stone
Now, no one can go no more to Avalon
Where elves are free
World behind the world
Ruled by the lady of the sea
World behind the world
Where every dream can be
Can be reality
World behind the world
Ruled by the lady of the sea
World behind the world
Where every dream can be
Can be reality
9. Icebreaker
Good enough is never enough for you
Stay your course
If you want to get through
No memories
Explaining love
Take a risk
Give what you’re got
Icebreaker, she’s on her way
Icebreaker, she’s on her way to your frozen heart
Spare a thought
Before it’s too late
No fear cause you’ll find a way
Anvil beat
With a fist of steel
Sweat runs down
From your back to your heel
Icebreaker, she’s on her way
Icebreaker, she’s on her way to your frozen heart
Don’t waste your time with foolish pride
Be self-confident
An anvil beat
With a fist of steel
Sweat runs down
From your back to your heel
Icebreaker, she’s on her way to you
Icebreaker, she’s on her way to you
Icebreaker, she’s on her way
Icebreaker, she’s on her way to your frozen heart
10. King Arthur
King Arthur’s round table alive forever
King Arthur’s round table is back in this song
There were two knights
Who became so bitterly jealous
They thought that one of the knights
Was better than the others
Jealusy is the purgatory of vanity
The brave knight
Called Lancelot
He was first
In tournaments
All men spoke well of him
This table, once so precious
Could not survive great King Arthur
But he’s not dead, he still dwells on
In Avalon
No more is written
Of Arthur King
But he will come back
When his Kingdom is
Is in need of him
King Arthur’s round table alive forever
King Arthur’s round table is back in this song
King Arthur’s round table alive forever
King Arthur’s round table is back in this song
King Arthur’s round table alive forever
King Arthur’s round table is back in this song
11. Lost Children
The lost children in the dark
Fear the light, fear the light
The lost children in the dark
Will unite, will unite
Water means life
Pollution – we’re to blame
The human race
Can’t escape from the game
We’re the lost children in the dark
Fear the light, fear the light
We’re the lost children in the dark
We’ll unite, we’ll unite
The poison leads
You through the night
A passion for gold
Is making you blind
The lost children in the dark
Fear the light, fear the light
We will unite, we will unite
We will unite, we will unite
We will unite, we will unite
Fear the light, fear the light
We’ll unite, we will unite
Unite
Unite
12. Ring of Stone (CD-Bonus)
In front of Stonehenge
Mysterious rocks
The air above
Smells secretly hot
Zed Yago walks through fog
Beware, beware, beware
Lest you fall
Go ask the sages
There was no wind
Gain access to all ages
To move the leaves
A shady past
Hear the call
Beware, beware, beware
Lest you fall
Ring of stone, ring of stone
Beware, beware, lest you fall
Ring of stone, ring of stone
Endless chain from down below
The temple was built
5000 years ago
It grew immensely
Stone by stone
Another world
A magic wall
Beware, beware, beware
Lest you fall
Ring of stone, ring of stone
Beware, beware, lest you fall
Ring of stone, ring of stone
Endless chain from down below
Where stones are live
Ring of stone, ring of stone
Beware, beware, lest you fall
Ring of stone, ring of stone
Endless chain from down below
Down below
