No doubt doubt No longer need to hide it I've found out who I am I' moved around in circles I rise and fall again I know it well Every word I tell Seems to make no sense at all
Words will heal it Love will conquer The hearts of the hopeless The almighty is still alive
Risin' up from the heart of the desert Risin' up for Jerusalem Risin' up from the heart of the desert Building up old Jerusalem Risin' up from the heart of the desert Risin' up for Jerusalem Risin' up from the heart of the desert Building up old Jerusalem
I've gone beyond But there's no life And there is nothing how it seems I've gone beyond But there's no life There is no healing rain in Eden The empty barren wasted paradise
Let's celebrate the dawning of the son
I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem Deny my love but you can change fate
Son of man You truly are mine
Can't stand the pain No more grief and misery It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on
Father stop it now We must stop it now
You really think you are half way up I would not mind if you were right It's not sure I'd rather say you are half way down So I am going to help you If I can
I've been caught In wilderness In wilderness I've got out well I found myself In desert lands In desert lands But you've been on my mind
I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem Deny my love but you can change truth
Rise up and follow me 'Cause I will bring the light Rise up and follow me Wake up and clear your mind I try to bring it back The seed of life I try to bring it back The seal of light
So if you say There's no faith in man You better keep in mind That I can read between the lines My heavy burden brings Eyesight to the blind
I've been caught In wilderness In wilderness I've got out well I found myself In desert lands In desert lands But you've been on my mind
I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem Deny my love but you can change me
Battlefield
It cannot be seen But there's blood on the green Only god knows I'm innocent Take me, take me home A dark seed reigns in me Like the storm rules over the sea I challenge thee, do not cross this bridge alone
Don't dare me now The threatening shadows will pass by There're getting closer now Open your eyes Wake up my dear young friend And hate shall fade away
I will not move, yet I'll stand still, instead
There on the battlefield he stands Down on the battlefield he's lost And on the battlefield it ends
War and anger shall reign The clash of iron can be heard By blindness you're driven insane I'm lost in anguish and grief Sorrow won't wane 'til you die A shattered body deeply hurt And darkness will cover the light It's gone forevermore
The field's been left in sorrow The father and the son They're gone
The sun shines bright And anger rises Lorn and lonely Torn apart Don't you think It's time to stop now We were charmed and fooled by the old serpent's kiss
Let's pray That heaven is on our side Through violence and horror Shall honour arise
So let's pray And blessed shall be our leader We follow the noble and bright
Don't you hear me crying Crying Come take me away I hallow thy name
There on the battlefield he stands Down on the battlefield he's lost And on the battlefield it ends
War and anger shall reign The clash of iron can be heard By blindness you're driven insane I'm lost in anguish and grief Sorrow won't wane 'til you die A shattered body deeply hurt And darkness will cover the light It's gone forevermore
That's what minstrel sing Join in the horrible screams Take part in murderous deeds Renowned be the lion-hearted Join in the minstrelsy Wailing in endless grief It eagerly longs for more Broken bodies lay down on the ground
Blood sheds all over the place The green will be stained forever And hate reigns all over the field They keep struggling on in anger
Fiercely intense Outrageous, too blind to see And in pain they keep on singing We claim the land for the highlord God bless the land and our highlord
War and anger shall reign The clash of iron can be heard By blindness you're driven insane I'm lost in anguish and grief Sorrow won't wane 'til you die A shattered body deeply hurt And darkness will cover the light It's gone forevermore
Under The Ice
Run 'til you find the answer Time out for our poor Cassandra She's fairy safe inside the fire
Inside the fire Awakes desire Cruelly admired
They'll torture her soul And they'll torment her heart But won't change her mind
Would you like to see me How I'll cut off Her head life's a game A lesson to learn Don't be shy just blame me Well, there is no need to feel ashamed Remember the oath Remember the oath

King of terror Just stop wining Hold your breath It won't take long realize This is your judgement day
In between the killing carry on
There are no rules here Welcome to the slaughterhouse Release from rotten thoughts No more pain And no more gods
Under the ice you will believe Under the ice you will be free Released from rotten thoughts No more pain And no more gods Try to understand
You're the artificial enemy An illusion we all need For our sake For our sake
We're not allowed to see Beyond that's your skill Will we ever learn the lesson "We can't fly with broken wings" Break the chains Time to change
I'm afraid to say But you won't play a part It's been nice we now get to the climax Your destination's unknown Just get out of my way
Don't mind the blood here Welcome to the slaughterhouse Release from rotten thoughts No more pain And no more gods
Under the ice you will believe Under the ice you will be free Released from rotten thoughts No more pain And no more gods Try to understand Under the ice you will be free Release from rotten thoughts No more pain And no more gods And no more gods I'm afraid to say But you won't play a part
Sadly Sings Destiny
A wooden cup And a crown of thorns Will set up the stage for the cross I rent a room next door There is nothing more No further voices to hear I'll be free It doesn't matter anymore That someone's knocking at my door I've known it long before The Galilean's on the floor Shame on me Shame on me I'm a tool and nothing more
I can feel it's getting nearer Images they'll turn out clearer Creeps in and out of your mind I'm destiny personified I know there's something more behind But is it really justified To sacrifice To crucify The rescue of the human kind
Sadly sings destiny Sadly sings destiny "For ages I've been waiting Now spring is in the air Let it in" Repeat
I hear them howling hear them scream The raging mob turns mad it seems The king's in town We need a crown I think we all know How it ends
So we're not going take it longer So all I know is I don't care Sp we're not going take it longer Now we are aware
I can feel it's getting nearer Images they'll turn out clearer Creeps in and out of your mind I'm destiny personified I know there's something more behind But is it really justified To sacrifice To crucify The rescue of the human kind
Sadly sings destiny Sadly sings destiny "For ages I've been waiting Now spring is in the air Let it in" Repeat
There I tie the ass There I tie the colt Begging for a last chance I hear the voices say "We get him home tonight And that's all you need to know" I'm alone
So I can't stand it any longer And I don't want to see it all Nazarene your vision will come true Will come true They'll get you
I can feel it's getting nearer Images they'll turn out clearer Creeps in and out of your mind I'm destiny personified I know there's something more behind But is it really justified To sacrifice To crucify The rescue of the human kind
Sadly sings destiny Sadly sings destiny "For ages I've been waiting Now spring is in the air Let it in" Repeat
The Maiden And the Minstrel Knight
The faithful crowd is gathered here Soon they'll appear The high and mighty show up The king is in doubts "Apart from this beggar here There's no one like you my dear Tasting my lips No one but you and him" Round the fire everyone should sing And praise the gracious queen Round the fire everyone should dance And we praise the handsome knight Forever and ever we both will be one The maiden, the fair and the young fell in love
Will you still wait for me Will you still cry for me Come and take my hand Will you still wait for me Will you still cry for me Come and take my hand
There's a moment in life When all the years will pass by And the eyes filled with tears We once shed We recognize failures The desperate cries Of the ones who believed in our lies
Wherever I'll go you'll be with me My first though and my last though we'll depart in bitterness one day you'll understand Carry on, beloved maiden, mine Cary on or we have to pay the price
Will you still wait for me Will you still cry for me Come and take my hand Will you still wait for me Will you still cry for me Come and take my hand
Yesterday's memories And melodies Are gone with the wind so sad Snow-white her hands and golden her hair But she's not the one out in the emptiness Where everything's pale There is no sign of you I'm alone How I wish you should be here I'm alone Telling me it's alright Come rest your head Come rest your head Come rest your head Come rest your head I'm alone and sadness Reigns in my heart As long as we live It won't go away We are one But torn apart
Will you still wait for me Will you still cry for me Come and take my hand Will you still wait for me Will you still cry for me Come and take my hand
Proudly it stands Until the worlds end The victorious banner of love
Wait for an Answer
I cannot say that I don't care 'Cause I'm aware of everyone and everything They're everywhere
Don't be a fool Stop spinning around Spinning around You're right it ain't safe here Start using your brain Your brain
The cautious hare Cannot be seen as a coward He's simply aware He constantly knows what's going on That the wheel of life turns on It won't hold on
Silent creature Filthy teacher's Spreading the disease A release A vanished Kingdom falls It goes on On and on And again It goes on
Round and round Oh I can't get it out of my head
Wish I'd be a bird of prey A pure and a blessed A hawk who could ease the pain
Don't look back tell me Is it where you belong A place in the dark A song without hope Don't look back tell me Is it where you belong Oh I wait for an answer So far Don't look back tell me Is it where you belong I will wait for an answer So far Don't look back tell me Is it where you belong I will wait yes I will wait Don't look back
We're the last descendants In the line of valiant soldiers We're mistreated angels We are the blackbird nation We're the chosen ones We're the last descendants We're a tribe of unsung glory We are the fallen angels
Well the time is right You shall be on my side
I don't I don't I don't need anyone Be with or be against me I'm white I am chosen
There is not the slightest Doubt it all Not at all
In lower airs We're ground down By their ignorance
Hate will grow like a foul cancer To find a foe seems to be the answer
Round and round Oh I can't get it out of my head
Wish I'd be a bird of prey A pure and a blessed A hawk who could ease the pain
Don't look back tell me Is it where you belong A place in the dark A song without hope Don't look back tell me Is it where you belong Oh I wait for an answer So far Don't look back tell me Is it where you belong I will wait for an answer So far Don't look back tell me Is it where you belong I will wait yes I will wait Don't look back
Don't be a fool Stop spinning around Spinning around Don't move it ain't safe here They've stained holy grounds Oh no
The hopeful he sadly admits There's no hero no place to hide There is no shelter from the storm The maddened crow will spread terror But I know Bitterly they will stumble Find themselves smashed on the ground
Don't look back tell me Is it where you belong A place in the dark A song without hope Don't look back tell me Is it where you belong Oh I wait for an answer So far Don't look back tell me Is it where you belong I will wait for an answer So far Don't look back tell me Is it where you belong I will wait yes I will wait Don't look back
It's you who has said There's no tomorrow I don't know but who I am I wouldn't sit back any longer It's surely built in sadness But the sadness surely will go by So we will all know the answer The answer's within It's in your mind
The Soulforged
I'm not insane That's how it seems though Spiteful cruel but wise Beyond his age My body fails My soul will rise
The end of life's immortalized disease and agony And I see death through golden eyes Beyond the door There's something more It seems there's just one way
On through the heat I've felt the touch of evil I still feel the icy claw in me
For a decent price I've banned kindness from my heart The spirit of all truth and beauty Pawned for my desire
And from the flames As chance would have it the soulforged will come into light And from the flames as chance would have it The soulforged, The stainless will rise
I will never change my mind I will leave it all behind
And through the hour glass Everything's grey Everyone's pale No colour nor beauty will enlighten my heart The seat of life's empty and cold Cadaverous you all seem to me Stillborn but you're still alive You're still alive
Truth lies in loneliness When hope is long gone by I'll wipe out the bliss of the new age And welcome you precious night
And from the flames As chance would have it the soulforged will come into light And from the flames as chance would have it The soulforged, The stainless will rise
From a distant time Voices echo in the hall "Come and join us Enter life and everything is gone now"
And through the looking glass I still fear mortality and its loss in the end Unlimited power in my hands The claw of the dragon ascends "Mourn for his lost soul He's cursed and condemned"
Each step I take May it hurt may it ache Leads me further Away from the past But as long as I breathe Each smile in my bleak face I'm on my way to find Back to the peace of mind
And from the flames As chance would have it the soulforged will come into light And from the flames as chance would have it The soulforged, The stainless will rise
I will never change my mind I will leave it all behind
Age of False Innocence
Cut off the light Take a look There's nothing beyond but pain Suffer in the deepest void The flame of hope isgone What have I done? Denied the father and the sun For a moment it seemed There's space beyond the spheres
Aflame the night So clear and bright Unstable light You've been sacrificed in fear Now there's one thing for sure I'm not afraid anymore
Day after day we've been fixed in the bowl For so long For ages we're captured in shells And crystallized walls Predestined or punished? By man or god?
I cannot, I will not Deny it's false innocence I cannot, I will not The age of false innocence Take it away from me
For a while Astronomy has moved the earth And we've turned around the sun Sanctum officium Has made me believe Has made me believe Has made me believe
"We know for sure you're lying Would you like to mess with holy science You know the fear of dying Would it be worth it to hear you crying" I've slaughtered truth And I've shattered my heart
Far too long I have played with hellfire And science has turned into madness But I should have taken it higher So I feel so I feel Like Judas must have felt before That Wednesday night near by the tree
Day after day we will gratefully suffer for more Predestined's our part So we Bleed in the name of god
Don't believe in their eternity We're still held in blindness And I've been turned into a liar If there is no heaven There won't be release
I cannot, I will not Deny it's false innocence I cannot, I will not The age of false innocence I cannot, I will not Deny it's false innocence I cannot, I will not The age of false innocence Take it away from me
Punishment Divine
It's warm and tender But very soon it turn cold Shadows stare down from the walls Out of the mist It's coming closer now It never rains It pours on me So let the saints Set up the courtyard The unpleasant cage The obvious point is I'm insane Was I aware Whom I had slain I fear I was the faceless The Nameless The bush set on fire No one ever dared to speak "Shame on me I don't believe The here and now Is all we're living for"
Joyful it seems But then suddenly By one false move It's blown away Joyful it seems But then suddenly Their voices cease It's gone away
Vanished To the point of no return Vanished To the point of no return
Witness my last breath I do not regret A word I've said The strong will survive The weak must die And out of the mist It's coming closer now Sinner and saints The grateful slaves
Nature's law instead of god in heaven
From far beyond I can hear them sing I hear angels sing Songs of innocence I hear angels sing Despite the facts are clear It cannot be What we can't see I must admit It sounds so sweet
Joyful it seems But then suddenly By one false move It's blown away Joyful it seems But then suddenly Their voices cease It's gone away
Vanished To the point of no return Vanished To the point of no return
Angels sing I hear Angels sing Can hear them sing Far beyond I hear them sing "It's true, it's true We don't exist" Far beyond I hear them sing "It's true, it's true We don't exist"
Well we all know There's no other side It's good and evil I know right between There's no borderline This is the punishment divine
Surrounded by night I've been offered insight There is none but the sin of pride Am I wrong an I right Am I losing my sight Abandoning the superior mind
Joyful it seems But then suddenly By one false move It's blown away Joyful it seems But then suddenly Their voices cease It's gone away
Vanished To the point of no return Vanished To the point of no return
Right away I will be gone Gone I will be gone
Through the valleys grey Through the shapeless land I walk alone I'm left alone
Through the deepest void A blackened paradise I walk alone I'm left alone
And Then There Was Silence
Turn your head and see the fields of flames
He carries along From a distant place He's on his way He'll bring decay (Don't move along 'Cause things they will go wrong The end is getting closer day by day) In shades of grey We're doomed to face the night Light's out of sight
Since we've reached the point of no return We pray for starlight we wait for the moon The sky is empty Alone in the unknown We're getting nowhere
We have been betrayed By the wind and rain The sacred hall's empty and cold The sacrifice made Should not be done in vain Revenge will be taken by Rome
We live a lie Under the dying moon Pale-faced laughs doom Indulges in delight
It's getting out of hand The final curtain will fall Hear my voice There is no choice There's no way out You'll find out
We don't regret it So many men have failed But now he's gone Go out and get it The madman's head it
Shall be thyne We don't regret it That someone else dies hidden in disguise Go out and get it Orion's hound shines bright
Don't you think it's time to stop the chase Around the ring Just stop running running Round the ring Don't you know that fate has been decided by the gods Feel the distance, distance Out of reach
Welcome to the end Watch your step, Cassandra You may fall As I've stumbled on the field Sister mine Death's a certain thing Find myself in darkest places Find myself drifting away And the other world The other world appears
Find myself she dies in vain I cannot be freed I'm falling down As time runs faster Moves towards disaster
The ferryman will wait for you My dear
And then there was silence Just a voice from other world Like a leaf in an icy world Memories will fade
Misty tales and poems lost All the bliss and beauty will be gone Will my weary soul find release for a while At the moment of death I will smile It's the triumph of shame and disease In the end Iliad
Raise my hands and praise the day Break the spell show me the way In decay The flame of Troy will shine bright
The newborn child will carry ruin to the hall The newborn's death would be a blessing to us all
Good choice? Bad choice? Out of there You've chosen misery Power and wisdom You deny Bad choice
War is the only answer When love will conquer fear So the judgement's been made to the fairest The graceful says badly he fails
Warning Fear the heat of passion, father king Don't let him in Don't let her in Desire, lust, obsession Death they'll bring We can't get out Once they are in
She's like the sunrise Outshines the moon at night Precious like starlight She will bring in a murderous price
In darkness grows the seed of man's defeat Jealousy I can clearly see the end now I can clearly see the end now I can clearly see the end now
The thread of life is spun The coin's been placed below my tongue
Never give up Never give in Be on our side So we can win Never give up Never give in Be on our side Old moon's time is soon to come
Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide Nothing to lose Like one we'll stand We'll face the storm Created by a man
Roar roar roar roar Troy Troy Troy Troy
And as the lion Slaughters man I am the wolf And you're the lamb
Hallowed Troy will fall Round the walls Faith is shattered bodies fall
Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide Nothing to lose Like one we'll stand It's all for one and one for all We live for will be wiped out
I feel that something's wrong Surprise, surprise they're gone Full moon your time goes by And new moon's still kept our of sight We live we die
Misty tales and poems lost All the bliss and beauty will be gone Will my weary soul find release for a while At the moment of death I will smile It's the triumph of shame and disease In the end Iliad
Raise my hands and praise the day Break the spell show me the way In decay The flame of Troy will shine bright
Roam in darkness Spread the vision We will be lost if you truly believe Troy in darkness There's a cold emptiness in our hearts That they've gone away And won't come back
They'll tear down the wall to bring it in They'll truly believe in the lie, lie, lie With blossoms they'll welcome The old foe
The vision's so clear When day and dream unite The end is near You better be prepared
The nightmare shall be over now There's nothing more to fear Come join in our singing And dance with us now The nightmare shall be over now There's nothing more to fear The war it is over forevermore
No hope The blind leads the blind Carry on Though future's denied Mare or stallion There's far more inside We are in at the kill we'll cheerfully die
Misty tales and poems lost All the bliss and beauty will be gone Will my weary soul find release for a while At the moment of death I will smile It's the triumph of shame and disease In the end Iliad
Raise my hands and praise the day Break the spell show me the way In decay The flame of Troy will shine bright
Holy light shines on
So the judgement's been made We're condemned though the trial's far ahead The crack of doom Father Your handsome son is heading home
Heading home
Still the wind blows Calm and silent Carries news from a distant shore
Out of mind Can't get it Can't get it Out of me head
