2. I'll See the Light, Tonight
I've seen visions in the night
Passing through the stars
Who's to run and who's to fight
Evil tries to pull me in
Enslaving me to die
Who's to lose and who's to win
[Chorus]
I'll see the light tonight
Flashing through the sky
Take my life tonight
Now the chaos has begun
People crying out
You're all alone, you got to run
Victims of circumstance
Not able to decide
No, we never had a chance
[Chorus]
Evil tries to pull me in
Enslaving me to die
Who's to lose and who's to win
Victims of circumstance
Not able to decide
No, we never had a chance
[Chorus]
3. Don't Let It End
You say the end of time
Is coming far too near
My love for life is torn
In vain through all the years
What's the answer to the question
That we have been searching for
Can you tell?
[Chorus 1]
Don't want to fall apart
Before we have a chance
to try again, don't let it end
I tried so hard to make
It right for you and I
Your sacred promises
Have all become a lie
Is this your idea of destiny?
'Cause if it is, just set me free
You cannot fool me
With your stories being told
My god, it brings me down
I feel I'm growing old
Is this your idea of destiny?
'Cause if it is, just set me free
[Chorus 2]
No, please don't end it now,
There is so much more we can do, you know
Don't let it end, don't let it end,
Don't let it end
Let's gather what we had
And build it up again
It used to be so good
Oh please don't let it end
No, don't let it end
[Outchorus]
Don't wanna fight you
Don't wanna argue
No no no don't let it end
Don't want no broken promises
Don't wanna fall apart again
Don't let it end!
4. Disciples of Hell
In the darkness they will gather
Conjuring the one
Burning candles, incantations,
Human sacrifice
Getting drunk from blood, not wine
Pointy daggers shine
Out of fire, smoke, and brimstone
The dreaded one will rise
(Rise, Burn, Rise)
[Chorus]
Nobody knows who's disciples of hell
Father's a priest and he's casting a spell
No one can stop what's already begun
Worshipping darkness and Lucifer's son.
Victims of the grand illusion
Screams of ecstasy
Fools are lost in mass confusion
Searching for the key
(Burn, etc.)
Burning candles, incantations,
Human sacrifice
Out of fire, smoke, and brimstone
Dreaded one will rise
[Repeat chorus]
(spoken voiceover:)
Raise your cup and praise the Prince of Darkness.
See the truth of the power within the beast.
And when the time has come, the gates of hell shall open.
5. I Am a Viking
I am a Viking, I'm going out to war
And I've got death upon my mind.
As I was leaving, oh yesterday
I've got no fear in my heart.
[Chorus]
As the shores of my home disappear
I sail over the sea without fear
Dragon ships are charging through the waves
Just want to sail away, far away into the sea, yeah!
I am a warrior, my mind is set to kill
Life and death is on the line
I am a slayer and you will taste my steel
I've got your life right in my hand
You are a loser, and it's such a shame
That you're a fool and you don't know
That I'm a Viking, I'll walk all over you
And by my sword you will die.
[Chorus]
6. Overture 1383 (instrumental)
7. Anguish and Fear
No more will I do
All the things that I've done
I'll live by the nature
Of moon and the sun
I've talked to a stranger
Whose soul had gone away
He warned me 'bout danger
I'd been in if I'd stayed.
[Chorus]
Anguish and fear is roaming my mind
Shed an iron tear, I'm trying to find
His soul had wandered
Through years of despair
Eyes without expression
Told to beware
For soldiers of fortune
Have searched low and high
To find they've forgotten
To rest and to die.
[Chorus]
8. On the Run Again
Outcast, not knowing right from wrong
Surrounded by women, wine, and song
Never still, always on the run
Prince of the night, killer with a gun
Now he's taken a life away,
Nowhere to run, nowhere to stay
Renegade, he fled from town to town
Vigilantes joined to hunt him down
For his head lies a mighty price
He's a wanted man, dead or alive
[Outchorus]
He's got mixed emotions
Running through his head
With a crazy notion
He's gonna end up dead, yeah!
He's on the run again, on the run again,
On the run again
He's on the run again,
Tell me when will it end
9. Soldier without Faith
Now the battle is over,
The clouds hanging low
Dead bodies lie on the ground
Marched in to slaughter
Lost souls fought in vain
No glory or pride to be found
[Chorus]
Gotta get out of here,
Don't wanna be around
Trying to find my way home
Gotta get out of here,
Don't wanna be around
Trying to find my way home
Fighting for honor
And medals of gold
But they were to kill or be killed
Slaying the enemy
Not knowing why
Keep low and fire at will
[Chorus]
Lost out in action
Long gone forever
Just a boy that died in vain
His mother is crying
His father not proud
Twisted gray face in the rain
10. Caught in the Middle
Just an ordinary day
All around it seems OK
With a normal view
Then you open your eyes
Suddenly you realize
Everyone's confused
[Chorus]
Caught in the middle
Of life and fantasy
Caught in the middle
Is where you seem to be
Everyone around is sad
But they analyze you mad
Sayin' you've lost your mind
Seems their lives have been abused
With the risk of being used
No happiness to find
[Chorus]
Seems the whole society
In the world's insanity
Sayin' you've lost your mind
Seems their lives have been abused
With the risk of being used
No happiness to find
[Chorus]
11. Marching Out (instrumental)
