 1. Halls of Illusion
 
 Walking through the halls of ancient times
 Through the souls which do not exist
 
 Gazing through the walls
 Falling down to the ground
 I�m foreshadowing my own destiny
 
 The atmosphere is spinning
 My life�s revealing
 That my life is in jeopardy
 
 Forever lost in the halls of illusion
 Slowly sinking into the sands of time
 Forever lost in the halls of illusion
 My tortured screams and unheard cries
 
 Magic within the halls of despair
 Generate the souls which appear
 Past times slowly slip from my mind
 My thoughts become those frozen in time
 
 Remember your forgotten past
 From the ages dead
 In the halls of the lost
 Our lives unthread
 
 Forever lost in the halls of illusion
 Slowly sinking into the sands of time
 Forever lost in the halls of illusion
 My lives flash before my eyes
 
 
 
 
 2. Northern Shores
 
 Buried in the worlds of snow and ice
 Where the cold rules our lives
 
 Sailing across the seas of mist
 Into the lands of our foes
 The waves of our northern shores
 Rise from kingdoms bestowed
 
 Crying winds of eternal hate
 Reflect the powers of the Norse
 Frostbitten storms of our time
 Whisper the chants of no remorse
 
 Rivers of pain run red
 Villagers lie amongst the dead
 Scorched trees light up the sky
 Torched souls flicker and die
 
 Dragons upon the boats that wait
 Guard the riches and the enslaved
 
 Sounds of a thousand cheering men
 Echo through out the lands of time
 The tides and the winds have changed
 For the better of the mankind
 
 Rivers of pain run red
 Villagers lie amongst the dead
 Scorched trees light up the sky
 Torched souls flicker and die
 
 
 
 
 3. The Scarab
 
 Sailing the sun
 Across the sky
 Billowing crashes settle and die
 
 Here I stand
 Rum in hand
 Seaborn Scarab
 Not of this land
 
 The Scarab
 The Scarab
 
 
 
 
 4. High Seas
 
 Bracing the lands
 From raiding seas
 Riparian treasures lost
 From the oceans breeze
 
 Supreme piracy
 Routes this tempered time
 The sacrifice in hand
 For their tragic crimes
 
 Shadows of despair
 Ravage the waves
 Galleons of deceptive front
 Conquer its knaves
 
 The summer�s night
 Embedded at its will
 
 Luring to the islands
 With treasures untouched
 Sandy graves risen
 By deceptive clutch
 
 
 
 
 5. The Watcher
 
 Driven from the forces of the unknown
 From the shadows of deep
 From the depths of the ocean�s floor
 Never woken from its sleep
 
 Scavengers arise from the bowels below
 Searching for the condemned of a mythic soul
 
 Draining the oceans of its soul
 From the shadows of the deep
 It�s ancient ritual
 Never woken from its sleep
 
 Cryptic writings on the wall
 On the Watcher�s golden tomb
 Sketched within
 Humanity�s certain doom
 
 Souls of the innocent lost from its mist
 The sanctions of evil rise to the abyss
 Magic of being conquers the test of time
 Powers structured from devouring rhyme
 
 
 
 
 6. Pieces of Eight
