1. You're A Hero

Young boy looking to the stars
Wishing he was miles away
Fly out like a Peter Pan
But knowing that he has to stay

Oh oh, keep believing in your dreams
Oh oh, someday they'll come out real

Now and then he will throw a coin
In his secret wishing well
A fantasy is all he's got
Escaping from his private Hell

You're a hero
In your fantasy
You're a hero
You hold the key

Young man wants to be a star
And people think he's so naive
Friends laugh saying he's a fool
He has nothing to achieve

Oh oh, you're the master of your fate
Oh oh, don't ever hesitate

He's got just what it takes
To make it happen any time
Holds back, there's a hint of doubt
Got to cross the eternal line

You're a hero
In your fantasy
You're a hero
You hold the key

Old man never took the chance
Now he pays for his mistakes
He played the game of life
And he chose to play it safe

You're a hero
In your fantasy
You're a hero
You hold the key

You're a hero
In your fantasy
You're a hero
You hold the key
You can make it real




2. Race And Revel

All I wanna do
Race and revel

I'm out of the bar
Into my new black car
Gonna cruise down the boulevard
No mean feat
We already exceed
Any speed limit from the start

I'm out on a razzle
Escaping the hazzles
Of yet another weary day
The engine roars
As we keep our course
We're gonna race the blues away

I hear the tires cry
Friction supertight

All I wanna do
Race and revel
Letting all madness rule
All I wanna do
Race and revel
Fill up that special fuel

It's all over town
That siren sound
Echoing inside of my head
Nowhere to hide
No angel, no guide
But hell, they haven't got us yet!

Just gotta speed it up
Take it to the top

All I wanna do
Race and revel
Letting all madness rule
All I wanna do
Race and revel
Fill up that special fuel
All I wanna do
Race and revel
Letting all madness rule
Baby, me and you
With the devil
Riding on special fuel

As cars collide
Metal screaming in the night
The sharp silence cutting through
Now they say I'm insane
That I am to blame
When all I had was just a drink or two

You were my only friend
Seems sorrow has no end

All I wanna do
Race and revel
Letting all madness rule
All I wanna do
Race and revel
Fill up that special fuel
All I wanna do
Race and revel
Letting all madness rule
Baby, me and you
With the devil
Riding on special fuel




3. Land Of Tomorrow

Kneel down, bow for the ruler
Rise up, stand before the mighty king
The time has come, he will seal your fate
Danger, I can feel the evil
Sense the powers of the dark
I've been a fool and now it's too late

I hear the sentence read
Without a single regret
We fought and failed
Let the king believe he prevails
In my heart I have no fear
I can feel it's near

Land of tomorrow
Harvest of pain
Land of no sorrow
Where freedom reigns

For years I have lived in danger
Travelled far from north to south
Can't escape this place of no return
How long can you live a lie
How long when people still have hopes and dreams
Await the day the flame of hate will burn

The drums of war
Have sounded so often before
A nation in chains
Will rise and learn from the pain
We will tear the tyrant down
Now the seed is sown

Land of tomorrow
Harvest of pain
Land of no sorrow
Where freedom reigns

The drums of war
Have sounded so often before
A nation in chains
Will rise and learn from the pain
In my heart I have no fear
I can feel it's near

Land of tomorrow
Harvest of pain
Land of no sorrow
Where freedom reigns




4. We Came To Rock

Hailing from a land
Where vikings once used to reside
You gotta understand
We just want to rock day and night

Ages ago
Our ancestors set the world on fire
Still burning glows
Will blaze up and take our spirits higher

We came to rock

So welcome to the show
We meet face to face finally
Ready to explode
In league with the powers that be

We¨ve got wings to fly
With Thor we ride a thunder roar
We're here to defy
To seek out and conquer new shores

We came to rock

Bring on the night
And turn up the lights
We'll rock you all
Before curtain call

Hailing from a land
Where vikings once used to reside
You gotta understand
We just want to rock day and night

Ages ago
Our ancestors set the world on fire
Still burning glows
Will blaze up and take our spirits higher

We came to rock




5. Masquerade

Shadow world, action in the dark
Pretty girls, ignite the smallest spark
Operations in disguise
Behind the enemy lines

Gazing at the silver screen
Everything's unreal, a dream

Masquerade, powershade
Wise charade, sly facade
But what lurks underneath?

Investigate, tinker tailor soldier spy
Iliminate, obey and don't ask why
Secret missions to fulfill
Man with license to kill

Complete intrigues and mysteries
Beyond your wildest fantasies

Masquerade, power shade
Wise charade, sly facade
But what lurks underneath?
masquerade, fools' parade
Playing games that have no end
Forever incomplete

Modern age, high technology
Computer rage and war game industry
The KGB and CIA
know how to spy the modern way

Masquerade, power shade
Wise charade, sly facade
But what lurks underneath?
masquerade, fools' parade
Playing games that have no end
Forever incomplete




6. Jealousy Kills

It's a strange situation
A feeling I can't hide
Could be infatuation
Or maybe it's just pride
I wanna be your only one
It used to be a thrill
Now jealousy kills

We talk and talk for hours
I question you deny
But words have got the power
To cover up a lie
I analyze and twist your every word
In a search for frills
Jealousy kills

In blind attraction
We kill the passion
Trapped in a prison of the heart
And always lurking
The pain, the hurting
That fear our souls untill we part

Your love for me is dying
I sense it in the way
You tell me too much prying
Will never make you stay
My accusations tend to go too far
Now all I feel is guilt
Jealousy kills

In blind attraction
We kill the passion
Trapped in a prison of the heart
And always lurking
The pain, the hurting
That fear our souls untill we part




7. Now We Play To Win

Now that we have come this far
Do you know where we are?
Seems we have lost our way
So you're giving it all up
I know I'll reach the top
But you don't want to stay

I have learned from all the bad mistakes
Now all for one
We struggle until we've won
No matter what it takes

Now we play to win
And now we're never gonna lose again
Now at last what's wrong
It's time to carry on

Through all those many years
I've shed a lot of tears
But there's no time to cry
Who was wrong and who was right
There's been so many fights
There's been so many lies

Unkept promises and broken dreams
No grief or pain
Can stop our quest for fame
And we'll use any means

Now we play to win
And now we're never gonna lose again
Now at last what's wrong
It's time to carry on




8. Illusions Of Yesterday

Long ago in days untold
When kings and bishops reigned
The maids were proud and the knights were bold
A time of swords and saints

Take me back
Seduce me with your tales
Take me back
I'm yearning for those days

Crusaders sought the holy land
Bloodshed in their trail
Bravely fought their enemies
They'd rather die than fail

Take me back
Seduce me with your tales
Take me back
I'm yearning for those days

Illusions of yesterday
How long would they last
If I could gp back some way
And live in the past

Barbarians reside the north
In lands of ice and snow
Believed in gods from Valhalla
And feared not friend nor foe

Take me back
Seduce me with your tales
Take me back
I'm yearning for those days




9. Turning Out A Star

Sitting by the window
Just staring at the rain
As tears begin to flow in endless streams
And it feels like a nightmare
Continuing to hell
I don't wake up 'cos this is not a dream

They say that time heals every wound and broken hearts
Somehow I doubt it more and more
'Cos every time I think of you the hurting starts
The past is washed up on the shore

In corners of my mind
Memories are burning
Consolation I can't find
I wish you knew my yearning

Like turning out a star
Suddenly surrounded by the dark
Turning out a star
A light that travels far
But yours will shine forever

Too many vital things I left unsaid, undone
But I can't bring you back with tears
It's hard, so hard to realise you're dead and gone
And in my dreams you're still here

It's not easy when you're caught
In yesterday, mourning
But life is way too short
Another day is dawning

Like turning out a star
Suddenly surrounded by the dark
Turning out a star
A light that travels far
But yours will shine forever
