ONE WORD
Listen all
the king´s been replaced
abandoned is the throne
he left in a haste
days of darkness
have come to our land
fate of men
is in warriors hands
one - one word
poisoning the air we breath
one - one word
shakes the earth beneath our feet
hear me now
a word from the wise
the strongest of men
now have doubt in their eyes
listen all
to the bleak wind howl
through empty halls
you can hear it growl
one - one word
poisoning the air we breath
one - one word
shakes the ground beneath our feet
it goes...
straight through the heart
an arrow of steel
our world falls apart
we´re lost for all eternity
straight through the heart
in blood we must kneel
one must depart
another build a dynasty
listen here
you can trust no one
they´ll stab you in the back
then they´ll turn and run
in the night
you search for a light
just a flickering flame
in the darkest of nights
one - one word....
Save us - lead us from confusion
save us - give us absolution
save us - save us from ourselves
and the darkness in our hearts
and guide us on our way back into the light
FROZEN
We touched with our eyes
unleashing just more pain than fire
the truth was plain to see
the magic was gone
in came the breeze from a dark night
you´re telling me lies
but I know just what you desire
it´s not your liberty
you want me to pay
you turn me away from the light
I gaze at frozen stars
I wonder where you are
my heart´s forever marked with blood red scars
I gaze at frozen stars
I know now who you are
sometimes I think my eyes have seen too far
you rule the night
a storm will -a-rise
breathing out torment and agony
it´s our final hour
into the night
we flee for our lives
there´s no mercy
I hear your voice
but you just declared me your enemy
you use the darkest power
blood and revenge
they will be your legacy
I gaze at frozen stars
I wonder where you are
my heart´s forever marked with blood red scars
I gaze at frozen stars
I know now who you are
sometimes I think my eyes have seen too far
you rule the night
THE EMPERORS RETURN
We heard the horns in the hills
swords shone in the midday sun
the north has obeyed his will
countless are the battles he´s won
an empire of a living God
as was told in the tales of old
will rise from a sea of blood marble white
and purest gold
brave men fought and fell
for the empire of the great
they were strong but he gave them hell
the battle made the world vibrate
an empire...
With his head held high
he enters the gates of Rome
into the heart of the mightiest city of all
he´s riding proud
finally he´s home
but nothing´s the same anymore behind those city walls
flowers are covering the streets
but he feels the malice in the air
the smell in the air is so sweet
still there´s poison everywhere
an empire...
With his head held high...........
THE PRICE
When the morning mist is fading
and a new day´s breaking through
I find myself walking this same old road
some shadows are still dancing
to a music never ending
among them walks a man with a heavy load
he´s only doing what he´s been told
it´s the game he has to play
nothing new, he´s getting old
he lives from day to day
it´s the price we pay
for every single day
we got to push to make the big wheel turn
neither black nor white
just another shade of grey
if you reach the sky the sun will make you burn
I am singing out my sadness
as the morning mist arise
let the sun come melt my pain again
in the sunshine of tomorrow
there´s a promise I´ve been told
about a future wrapped in golden chains
he´s only doing what he´s been told
it´s the game he has to play
nothing new, he´s getting old
he lives from day to day
it´s the price we pay
for every single day
we got to push to make the big wheel turn
neither black nor white
just another shade of grey
if you reach the sky the sun will make you burn
WOLVES
The sky is dark
a strike of lightning
she stands alone
in the rain
waiting for a wonder
a silent dance
there´s no music
no one around
to entertain
cold wind and thunder
Oh! how I wish I could see in the night
far enough to find you
I will run with the wolves in the night
I´ll be there when you least expect me
I´ll be there when you turn out the light
to take you away with me
underneath
the fading moonlight
she wanders off
into the dark
waiting for a wonder
the rain is cold
but hiding her tears
there´ll be no fire
without a spark
cold wind and thunder
Oh! how I wish I could see in the night
far enough to find you
I will run with the wolves in the night
I´ll be there when you least expect me
I´ll be there when you turn out the light
to take you away with me
A RACE BETWEEN TWO HEARTS
Too many nights they´ve been waiting
for the sun to shine through
too many nights they´ve been hoping
for their dreams to come true
He almost lost his way again
the blood is running hot inside his veins
seems that no matter what he tries
she´ll remain a part of the skies
an endless race between two hearts
will they unite, did they ever part
touched by the heat of the flame
he´s trying and trying again
once he climbed a mountain so high
and he´s been through the darkness down below
he almost once touched the sky
he´s always been ready to push and shove
dreaming,
feeling her heart calling out for him
every day and night
she´s been waiting forever
she´s now ready to fly
over clouds and rainbows
into the morning light
he´s been trying to catch her
he´s been ready to die
chasing dreams and shadows
straight through the darkest night
the flickering starlight of the skies
is nothing compared to her big dark eyes
dancing like a fairy queen
to the music of a pipe unseen
dreaming,
feeling her heart calling out for him
every day and night
she´s been waiting forever
she´s now ready to fly
over clouds and rainbows
into the morning light
he´s been trying to catch her
he´s been ready to die
chasing dreams and shadows
straight through the darkest night
FIRE AND ICE
Something is stalking me
across the wastelands of nightmares
and I don´t know what it is
hot desert sand
the vision of a lady
oh she´s so hard to please
oh Lord I hope that I
live long enough
to see the sun come out again
two people cursed to only
look, never touch
true love is almost the same as pain
she´s coming,
uprising
from fire and ice
I travel back
endless streets of dreams
leading back to our first kiss
so many years
so many tears
still you´re the one thing that I miss
white angel wings
glowing in the sunrise
my feet have been lifted off the ground
with open eyes
I enter the illusion
speaking words without a sound
she´s coming,
uprising
from fire and ice
MEDIEVIL
In the twilight
we are gathered
waiting to see
a glimpse of paradise
in the twilight
chains now rattle
screams of agony
we´re all eyes
see the king’s knight,
priests and followers
preparing their feast
their torches burning bright
see the king’s knight
choose among the prisoners
- this one will die before day light!!!
the gates will open at sunrise
the prisoners will be brought out
they will pay for their sins now
and make the crowd scream and shout
first confessions and burning fire
- hallelujah -
then they will be judged before the lord
gypsies, witches, thieves and murderers
the celebration starts afterwards
in the dark night no
one pays attention
the music is loud
the celebration´s on
in the dark night
chains now rattle
they´ve come to take away
your only son
the gates will open at sunrise
the prisoners will be brought out
they will pay for their sins now
and make the crowd scream and shout
first confessions and burning fire
- hallelujah -
then they will be judged before the lord
gypsies, witches, thieves and murderers
the celebration starts afterwards
KINGDOM OF WINTER
Rising up from the eye of the storm
a dark power shatters the night
it won't stop for no mortal man
it's darkness destroying the light
on the horizon I see the northern star
I ask for a reason, why they came
but I know, we went too far
The kingdom of winter
will rise once again
knights in shiny armour
will come and unite our land
the kingdom of winter
the one we must defend
from evil and destruction
until the bitter end
marching on through the wind and the rain
never look back never turn
don't close your eyes, don't fall asleep
or there will be no return
beyond the horizon I see just memories
if there is a reason tell me now,
set me free I'm in agony
The kingdom of winter
will rise once again
knights in shiny armour
will come and unite our land
the kingdom of winter
the one we must defend
from evil and destruction
until the bitter end
LOCKED IN CHAINS
In the land of the morning sun
I once called home
eagles fly over misty mountains
in the land of the morning sun
at the gates of dawn
water sprang out of marble fountains
now it's just a distant memory
a dream of home and how things used to be
In the land of the morning sun
I met my love
never doubted she was the one
In the land of the morning sun
from deep down below
came a roar from hell
that swallowed our cries and
silenced our sacred song
now we're sold as slaves to the
kingdom of Babylon
Locked in chains we're cursed to sail forever
into eternity
between the stars and the sea we dream together
re-living memories
by the light of the morning sun
I swear my oath
hear me now mighty Gods above
by the light of the morning sun
I will have them both
my freedom and revenge
I will rise and fight
once again I can hear the song
may hellfire burn
all the gardens of babylon
Locked in chains we're cursed to sail forever
into eternity
between the stars and the sea we dream together
re-living memories
