Sauron: The field is lost Everything is lost The black one has fallen from the sky and the towers in ruins lie The enemy is within, everywhere And with him the light, soon they will be here Go now, my lord, while there is time There are places below
Morgoth: And you know them too I release thee, go My servant you'll be for all time
Sauron: As you command My king
Morgoth: I had a part in everything Twice I destroyed the light and twice I failed I left ruin behind me when I returned But I also carried ruin with me She, the mistress of her own lust
Into The Storm
Music: Olbrich/Kursch - Lyrics: Kursch
Give it to me I must have it Precious treasure I deserve it
bridge: Where can I run How can I hide The Silmarils Gems of treelight Their life belongs to me Oh it's sweet how the Darkness is floating around
chorus: We are following The will of the one Through the dark age And into the storm And we are following The will of the one Through the dark age And into the storm Lord I'm mean
Blackheart show me What you hold in your hand I still hunger for more Release me From my pain Give it to me How I need it How I need it How I need it

Welcome To Dying
Close to insanity beond the realms I've been at darkest places I'm crying "The dragon flies" (lead: André)
Something savage is yearning for me I'm waiting afraid for the night what will be I've lost myself a few days ago it's touching my soul and a vision of past dreams comes true
Ref.: Welcome to dying I don't let it out Welcome to dying Look to the mirror it shows what I am Welcome to dying This town must burn now Welcome to dying Can't You see the dragon's seed bears in me
the one who's been before many times I terrorized this town many times and here I start again now I'm stronger and so cold cold as ice returning is my destiny now I feel it's growing up in me now I feel it's burning deep in me I'm not what I was before could I stop this dream I'm a stranger to myself and I cannot control
Ref.: Welcome to dying I don't let it out Welcome to dying Look to the mirror it shows what I am Welcome to dying Can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me Welcome to dying The dragon's breath I don't let it out (solo: André)
I'm a savage it's too late for me the other side's taking controll and I know there's one way I can walk alone or the dragon will fly and a growing fear's all that I feel
Ref.: Welcome... (Rep. 1st Ref.)
Welcome to dying (6x) Can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me (lead: André)
Spread my wings and fly away I spread my wings and fly away I spread my wings and fly away
Nightfall
No sign of life did flicker In floods of tears she cried "All hope's lost it can't be undone They're wasted and gone"
"Save me your speeches I know (They blinded us all) What you want You will take it away from me Take it and I know for sure The light she once brought in Is gone forevermore"
Like sorrowful seaguls they sang "(We're) lost in the deep shades The misty cloud brought (A wailing when beauty was gone Come take a look at the sky) Monstrous it covered the shore Fearful into the unknown" Quietly it crept in new horror Insanity reigned And spilled the first blood When the old king was slain
chorus: Nightfall Quietly crept in and changed us all Nightfall Quietly crept in and changed us all Nightfall Immortal land lies down in agony
"How long shall we Mourn in the dark the bliss and the beauty Will not return Say farewell to sadness and grief Though long and hard the road may be" But even in silence I heard the words "An oath we shall swear By the name of the one Until the world's end It can't be broken"
Just wondering how I can still hear these voices inside
The doom of the Noldor drew near
The words of a banished king "I swear revenge" Filled with anger aflamed our hearts Full of hate full of pride We screamed for revenge
chorus
"Vala he is that's what you said Then your oath's been sworn in vain (But) freely you came and You freely shall depart (So) never trust the northern winds Never turn your back on friends"
"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!" "You better don't trust him" The enemy of mine Isn't he of your kind and Finally you may follow me Farewell He said
chorus
Back to where it all began
The Script For My Requiem
Hallowed be the fatherland god he knows how long I'd been away from here I did start for a search so full of decease I still hear my cryouts from the old cellar's inside
Born in the days of medieval my inner voice is alway asking why
I came from nowhere without a task, without a name no fear of evil fate, so god please lead me through forgotten realms mysterious dreams in sunless rooms I'd sworn I'll finish what I started, once I'll find my holy grail in the holy land
Ref.: Returning of the miracles it's my own requiem the jester's tears they are inside me agony's the script for my requiem Returning of the miracles it's my own requiem is the script already written jester's tears I cry yes, I cry
I went out of my mind in desert lands insanity's pawn out of control much too long I've been isolated from my thoughts enclosed by the leader's spell bewildered to marc as a glory knight and I tried
Still I hear the scream of thousands: "Crucify, crucify Take it all our gold, our home, our life, but we didn't kill your Christ!! Reach out for your holy grail enslave us and make us your god's sacrifice!!"
Ref.
(Solo)
Still I'm confused if I was dreaming too late I realized I'd been another fool I pay the price
Returning of the miracles it's my own requiem the jester's tears they are inside me agony's the script for my requiem Returning of the miracles it's my own requiem is the script already written jester's tears I cry
Harvest Of Sorrow
She is gone Leaves are falling down The tear maiden will not return The seal of oblivion is broken And a pure love's been turned into sin
At the dawn of our living time Hope may cover all cries Truth lurks hidden in the shadows Dreams might be filled with lies Soon there will be light Pain remains inside
Suddenly it seemed so clear All the blindness was taken away She closed her eyes And she called out my name She was never ever seen again
Chorus: Harvest of Sorrow Your seed is grown In a frozen world full of cries When the ray of life shrinks Shall cold winter nights begin
She is gone And I fall from grace No healing charm covers my wounds Fooled's the dawn And so am I Fooled by life and a bitter doom To bring you the end of the day
At the dawn of our living time Hope it soon will pass by Facing a darkness I stand alone
Chorus
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

Mordred's Song
I've lost my battle before it starts my first breath wasn't done my spirit's sunken deep into the ground why am I alone I can hear my heartbeat silence's all around
See hat will rise so don't come closer fear your child born with a king's heart but fate fooled me and changed my cards noone asked if I want it if I like it
Ref.: Pain inside is rising I am the fallen one a figure in an old game no Joker's on my side I plunged into misery I'll turn off the light and murder the dawn turn off the light and murder the dawn
Nothing else, but laughter is around me forevermore noone can heal me nothing can save me noone can heal me I've gone beyond the truth it's just another lie wash away the blood on my hands my father's blood in agony we're unified
I never wanted to be what they told me to be fulfill my fate then I'll be free god knows how long I tried to change fate

Born In A Mourning Hall
In fact it was close to a real fallout everything's under control the speaker said with a serious smile behind his mask he knew the truth I'll bring a new age of better ways the TV preacher said just pay today pay today
World's dressed in black on earth's judgement day and I? I know it can't go on forbidden signs increase I'm sitting still at home and watching
Ref.: Born in a mourning hall pale clouds feared the unborn child then it grew up with growing plans of suicide born in a mourning hall shadows left the fear inside that Peter Pan will never reach the other side
It's frightening exciting to sit at home and watch the burning fields get hypnotized by the TV snake
Obey and work hard and feel no anger just sympathy for the higher class there's no chance in changing things cause I am
Ref.: born in a mourning hall silent cries ran out when the cradle breaks broken dreams were unheared on the other side born in a mourning hall shadows left the fear in the new born child that Peter Pan will never reach the other side
(Solo)
And I'm a part of the machine a puppet on the strings a rebel, once now I'm an old man
Oh, I know this can't go on but the ghost called fear inside lames my tongue, my nerves, my mind eternal fall down someone cut the strings off I can't move to get back courage I've to face the truth but not today goodbye
Ref.: Born in a mourning hall caught inside a web called life the only way to get out soon is suicide born in a mourning hall pale souls built a frozen world infected brains will never reach the other side the other side
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
Wake up it's time to cross the border Is it true what they say About the part you've played?
Enjoy your stay 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
Please understand It's not in our hands Barren the land It's all dead and gone
And still the tyrant's face is red So witness my glory, my triumph, my fame It's the sweetest taste
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
Bright Eyes
Fool just another fool just another ...
I've been waiting for signs of god
create- enslaved- behaved- everything is out of control
Leave me alone isolation bears hope there's something else waiting a promised destiny freezing me I feel restless and low these days full of sadness had joyfully changed into fear
My freakshow will start tonight don't miss the right time
Ref.: Bright eyes blinded by fear of life no Merlin is by my side
everything is out of control everything is out of control in my future plans everything is out of control noone's left to hurt everything is out of control sorrow's gone away
Broken memories walking upstairs step by step I see the whole world burning the poet dies in Neverland how it burns
Hey, mother stubborn I really hate you if you say yes I will say no ashes to ashes but dust won't be dust if you go there I will go back
Ref.: Bright eyes blinded by fear of life betrayed by sunrise bright eyes blinded by fear of life no Merlin is by my side
Hey, father stubborn you're ying and I'm young I feel alone who really cares Born into ashes to lose all the games with a smiling face
Ref.: Bright eyes blinded by fear of life and dark dragons rise bright eyes blinded by fear of life no Merlin is by my side
So I sit still in my room, today winter's here in summer's season shall I say I was wrong if I'm right farewell to my last hope
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
The Bard's Song (In The Forest) - Düsseldorf, 30.04.2002
Now You all know The bards and their songs When hours have gone by I'll close my eyes In a world far away We may meet again But now hear my song About the dawn of the night Let's sing the bards' song
Ref.: Tomorrow will take us away Far from home Noone will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow will take it away The fear of today It will be gone Due to our magic songs
There's only one song Left in my mind Tales of a brave man Who lived far from here Now the bard songs are over And it's time to leave Noone should ask You for the name Of the one Who tells the story
Ref.: Tomorrow will take us away Far from home Noone will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow all will be known And You're not alone So don't be afraid In the dark and cold 'Cause the bards' songs will remain They all will remain
In my thoughts and in my dreams They're always in my mind These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men And elves Come close Your eyes You can see them, too
Imaginations From The Other Side
Where are these silent faces I took them all they all went away now you're alone to turn out every light so deep in me hold on, to late
Will I ever see them back again or did they all die by my hand or where they killed by the old evil ghost who had taken the ocean of all my dreams which were worth to keep deep inside my heart I wish I could get them back from the everflow before they'll fade away
Ref.: Imaginations from the other side far out of nowhere it got back to my mind Imaginations from the other side far out of nowhere it got back to my mind out of the dark back to the light then I'll break down the walls around my heart Imaginations from the other side
Where's the ocean's daughter was Peter Pan in Mordor no one's there to keep alive all these fairy tales may I return to Oz will I meet the "Tin Man" "Coward Lion" where are you without brain the scarecrow's lost in the middle of the lake stranded in the real world left in a world no place for daydreams serious life I fall into I fall into a dark hole and I can't come out
do you know if Merlin did exist or Frodo wore the ring did Corum kill the gods or where's the wonderland which young Alice had seen or was it just a dream I knew the answers now they're lost for me
Ref.
(Solo)
I hope there is a way back with my talisman so I look into myself to the days when I was just a child come follow me to wonderland and see the tale that never ends don't fear the lion nor the witch I can't come back I'm lost but still I know there is another world

Lost In The Twilight Hall
Awaiting my last breath the mirror calls my name it's showing me the way into the dark the bridge appears I jump into the dark side and hear the voice it's cold as ice "Welcome to reality"

A Past And Future Secret
Oh, I haven't been here for a while in blindness and decay the circle's been closed, now
My song of the end I've seen it all
Listen crowd I'll tell you everything though I have to say I don't know much talking about a past and future secret most called him once and future king far back in the past I saw his ending long before it started I knew his name he's the one who took the sword out of the stone it's how that ancient tale began I hear it in the cold winds
My song of the end I had seen it in my dreams my song of the end I can't stop the darkening clouds
I feel cold when I cry out for the bark take him back to Avalon dwell on for a new age so long sleep well my friend take him back to Avalon I will wait and guard the future king's crown
My song of the end it was nice but now it's gone my song of the end it was fixed the whole time my song of the end I saw it all
Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill)
Light fails at dawn The moon is gone And deadly the night reigns
Deceit
Finally I've found myself In these lands Horror and madness I've seen here For what I became a king of the lost? Barren and lifeless the land lies
bridge: Lord of all Noldor A star in the night And a bearer of hope He rides into his glorious battle alone Farewell to the valiant warlord
chorus (repeat 2x): The Fate of us all Lies deep in the dark When time stands still at the iron hill
I stand alone Noone's by my side I'll dare you Come out You coward Now it's me or you

Slowly in fear The dark lord appears Welcome to my lands You shall be damned

The iron crowned Is getting closer Swings his hammer Down on him Like a thunderstorm He's crushing Down the Noldor's Proudest king

Journey Through The Dark
Many songs I've written About the things I saw My inner soul's a wasteland I can't run away from here Try to find them All the lost thoughts in my mind I woke up on a hill So many times before Yesterday seems like a dream no more Frozen memories laughing They don't let me find the truth Am I born to be a king Or a jester of the fools
Ref.: You're the mystical old bard on your journey through the dark Mystical old bard Your journey through the dark
I can't remember my name I never knew how to find my home I can't remember my name come tell me where will it end I'm the chosen one To perform all these things But not for me In illusions and reality I'm on my journey through the dark I'm on my journey through the dark
Ref.
(Solo)
I can't remember Will I ever find myself The distance is growing My hope has gone away A flash of light but nothing changes When will it end Which part of me remains
Soon I'll be back On my ferryboat of tales Where oblivion reigns It will take all of me
Ref.

Ref.: Slow down and I sail on the river Slow dawn and I walk to the hill
and there's now way out Mordor dark land under Sauron's spell threatened a long time threatened a long time Seven rings to the gnoms in their halls made of stone into the valley I feel down One ring for the dark lord's hand sitting on his throne in the land so dark where I've to go (solo: Marcus)
Ref.: Slow down and I sail on the river Slow down and I walk to the hill Lord of the rings
Mirror Mirror
Far, far beyond the island We dwelt in shades of twilight Through dread and weary days Through grief and endless pain
It lies unknown The land of mine A hidden gate To save us from the shadow fall The lord of water spoke In the silence Words of wisdom I've seen the end of all Be aware the storm gets closer
chorus (1): Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That tomorrows bears insanity
Gone's the wisdom Of a thousand years A world in fire and chains and fear Leads me to a place so far Deep down it lies my secret vision I better keep it safe
Shall I leave my friends alone Hidden in my twilight hall (I) know the world is lost in fire Sure there is no way to turn it Back to the old days Of bliss and cheerful laughter We're lost in barren lands Caught in the running flames Alone How shall we leave the lost road Time's getting short so follow me A leader's task so clearly To find a path out of the dark
chorus (2): Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change
Even though The storm calmed down The bitter end Is just a matter of time
Shall we dare the dragon Merciless he's poisoning our hearts Our hearts
How shall we leave the lost road Time's getting short so follow me A leader's task so clearly To find a path out of the dark
