1. Until Kingdom Come

in the black of the night she appears
I can see that she's trying
to relocate the source of my fears
I've been searching her high and low

in this dream she will show me the door
to a new revelation
and I know that I've seen her before
that she'll bring me salvation

I remember when she was still alive
always there by my side
every day is a fight to survive
every minute a shattered memory

like the sun shining down on me
like the breeze on the ocean
you're the path of my destiny
I know you will follow me until Kingdom Come

when I watch from the tower at night
into fading horizons
I can see her shade in the twilight
dressed in silver she's dancing

I remember as if it was today
always there by my side
you are reason, and relief to my pain
and one day we will reunite

like the sun shining down on me
like the breeze on the ocean
you're the path of my destiny
I know you will follow me until Kingdom Come
like the sun shining down on me
like the breeze on the ocean
you're the path of my destiny
I'll follow my heart until Kingdom Come




2. Expedition

freedom fires burning
mighty kingdoms shall rise
crystal ships have returned
like pawns on a distant shore

there's a cold empty place inside
where you know there's no end

mighty storm mighty storm
stirs from the skies above
like a cold chill rushed upon my face

searching - for what awaits us
set a course for a new shore
for what tomorrow will bring

plunging the northern seas
winds fill the sails
as we approach another world
that time has forgotten me
the sun blinds and circles me

no man is an island
no footsteps have walked these shores
discoveries on virgin soil
let the Expedition begin

searching - for what awaits us
set a course for a new shore
for what tomorrow will bring




3. The Shadow of Uther

due to the legend
a new king will come
rise in the morning horizon
brave and believing
for wars to be won
born with the heart of a lion
he will fight for a country unite
till the last drop of blood confines the oath
till all will respect him wherever he roams

deep in the woods
he can hear she's alive
lost in the dark
of a dragons lament
searching the highlands
in trying to find
trace of Morgana
the Princess of Hate

he will be holding
the sword in the stone
knights of the kingdom will join him
bring back the honor
of Pendragons name
from where the cauldron is boiling

but the shadow of Uther restrains
all the efforts to reunite the realm
a witch of his own blood from heaven expelled

deep in the woods
there are prints in the sand
leading towards
where the angels repent
king of the ocean
king of the land
nothing can save him
from Merlin's consent

coming of storms
battles of war
knights of thunder are fearless
thus goes the legend
the tale I was told
now we await his appearance
but the shadow of Uther remains
there is no way the king can break the oath
the shadow will follow wherever he roams




4. Millennium

I look into the black horizon
the more i see the more i know
I try to justify the wars won
but that won't satisfy my soul

I hold the future in my hand
but I could easily destroy
I see the footprints in the sand
they seem to vanish in the void

can I walk away
can I choose to stay
feel I'm getting near
voices that I hear

sail away, follow the sacred heart
chase the sun, one with the moon and stars
sail away, You'll find the promised land
in your hand, there is a New Millennium

I wish wouldn't have to worry
about the life that lies ahead
but when the present turns tomorrow
I shall remember what they said

feel I'm getting near
voices that I hear

sail away, follow the sacred heart
chase the sun, one with the moon and stars
sail away, you'll find the promised land
in your hand, there is a New Millennium




5. A Sailorman's Hymn

can you hear the sirens resound?
from the coastline of Ireland tonight
it's the song of a promising heart
of the souls that the ocean unite

and she stands by the window alone
staring into the rain
she is trying to guide his way home
from the waters that keep them apart

so she lights up a candle for hope to be found
captive and blind by the darkness around
firm as a mountain, she never will mourn
timeless awaiting the break of dawn

can you hear the sailorman's hymn?
as it comes with the rise of the tide
it is sung where the rainbow begins
as a comfort for tears she has cried

she remains by the window alone
staring into the rain
she is trying to guide his way home
keeps on praying for god to protect him

she lights up a candle for hope to be found
captive and blind by the darkness around
each wave a promise, a new hope reborn
sunrise consoles at the break of dawn




6. The Fourth Legacy

settle for the journey
sail across the seven seas
carried by the spirit of the brave
join the New Allegiance now
and pledge your sacred heart
a history that no one can forsake

flying like an eagle from oblivion
rising in the mirror of the sky

you will find the New Allegiance
like a beacon in the night
if you're searching for salvation
reach inside
there's a new world approaching
a fire to be seen
in following The Fourth Legacy

once you find the passage
to another promised land
don't forget the ones you left behind

flying like an eagle from oblivion
guided by the rising morning star

you will find the New Allegiance
like a beacon in the night
if you're searching for salvation
reach inside

there's a new world approaching
a fire to be seen
in following The Fourth Legacy
there's glory in the distance
for the one's that pay the price
ignorance creates a subtle mind

keep the fighting spirit
never close your eyes
don't forget the ones you left behind

flying like an eagle from oblivion
rising in the mirror of the sky

you will find the New Allegiance
like a beacon in the night
if you're searching for salvation
reach inside
there's a new world approaching
a fire to be seen
in following The Fourth Legacy




7. Call of the Sea

endless alone lost at sea
it's a never ending chore to
keep my head above these waters
I've never feared before

the sun has taken its toll
the salt runs in my veins
I've never feared before these
waters I've grown to hate
will I live to see tomorrow?
or will I die in this watery depth?
the sea is calling me
my will to live is stronger than
these tides could ever be
the sea is calling me
why won't I let these waters
claim me victory?

I long for the place where the
winds and the tide tear at the shore
but in the twilights of my dreams
the fire rages on

endless alone lost at sea
it's a never ending chore to
keep my head above these waters
I've never feared before

I long for the place where the
winds and the tide tear at the shore
but in the twilights of my dreams
the fire rages on

the sea is calling me
my will to live is stronger than
these tides could ever be
the sea is calling
why won't I let these waters
claim me victory?




8. Desert Reign / Nights of Arabia

came across the waters
a kingdom in the sands
unfaithful to the sultan
a killing was at hand
challenged to survival
a legacy of fear
eternal mystic legends
one for every tear

nights of Arabia
the queen has lost her right to life
nights of Arabia
her destiny in story lines
nights of Arabia
a thousand tales and one for life
these are nights of Arabia

whispers in the moonlight
a gathering of vales
circled round the fire
to hear this evenings tale
standing on the threshold
the crest of darkened nights
seduction of the hunter
the slave regains her might

"lost inside a shadow
erase the sins I've made
heavenly reward me
with mercy on my fate"

nights of Arabia
the queen has lost her right to life
nights of Arabia
her destiny in story lines
nights of Arabia
a thousand tales and one for life
these are nights of Arabia
Sheherazade will never die

the sultan relents his feeble heart
his love for the queen is greater than he'll ever know
"it's easy to let you feed my nights
someone to touch, someone to hold,
someone to feel, someone to love"

"here I am to die alone
voices from heaven above
hear my call awaken my soul
forgive me for what I have done"

challenged to survival
a legacy of fear
eternal mystic legends
one for every tear




9. We Three Kings*




10. One Day*

can you remember the morning
I told you goodbye
just when a new was dawning
a piece of me died

somehow I have to try to
getting used to being alone
If I could only hold you once again
I'd never let go

save me a prayer
when day turns to night

lord won't you
show me the light
one day - I'll find back to my heart and soul again
one day - I swear swear by your name

memories keep me awake
and you're there by my side
I wonder if its only in my mind
that I am alive

save me a prayer
when day turns to night
lord won't you
tell me I'm right

one day - I'll find back to my heart and soul again
one day - I swear swear by your name




11. We Are Not Separate**

launch the silver spear
the world will cry a tear
in the heavens will appear
another angel
hear the elders cry
waiting for their time
as they look towards the heavens
why won't they answer?

we are playing with nature
splitting the atom
confusing religions
killing the masses
we are not separate
from what we destroy
time has com for us
to make the only choice

we are not separate
from what we destroy
time has come for us
to make the only choice

we rape for our power
not caring for life
we tarnish our waters
'til they are as black as night

we visualize the future
with the eyes of the blind
we hear nature calling
but we still deny

we are not separate
from what we destroy
time has come for us
to make the only choice
