As the heat is rising, out there in the past Fallen angels calling, they have come to last they are coming out of the dark
Then the horsemen ride out every thing groes cold now their armies march in Out there from the underworld
I do not want my eyes to see I never wanted to believe
Take me to the gardens of the sinner Bury me and let me rest in peace now the time of truth has come for everyone The fallen angel stands in victory
The final seal was broken it opened up the gates for the dark avengers their anger kills the light and then...
I do not want my eyes to see I never wanted to believe
Take me to the gardens of the sinner Bury me and let me rest in peace now the time of truth has come for everyone The fallen angel stands in victory
As the seventh angel opened up the seal his curse brought endless desease and as the wind carried the deadly seed to the minds of the doomed they were gone for the stages of hell
Take me to the gardens of the sinner take me down and let me rest in peace now the time for truth has come for everyone the fallen angel laughs and grins now...
Take me to the gardens of the sinner Bury me and let me rest in peace now the time of truth has come for everyone The fallen angel stands in victory
Rich And Famous
Music & Lyrics: Hansen
I don't believe in fame, I believe in music. I don't believe in money, I believe in the power of love. I know I got a brain and I know how to use it. I don't want no one to stick his finger in my pie.
You think you put your best foot forward But it is moved by someone else. In blind belief you follow every path that says: I lead you to a universe of fortune, fame and luck.
Do you really wanna be - rich and famous, rich and famous. Do you really wanna be - rich and famous now.
I don't believe in Rock 'n' Roll illusions. I don't believe that what they say must always be the truth. I don't believe in good guys against bad guys. I just might as well say I believe in Santa Claus.
You think you put your best foot forward But it is moved by someone else. In blind belief you follow every path that says: I lead you to a universe of fortune, fame and luck.
Do you really wanna be - rich and famous, rich and famous. Do you really wanna be - rich and famous now.
Mr. Big shot what is your game Mr. Big shot what is your final aim. Now you wonder who is to blame. Mr. Big shot what is your final aim in life.
Rich and famous, house with two hours, big jacuzzi, car with TV. Private airplane, furs and diamonds, seafood cocktails- CRAP AND BULLSHIT!
Do you really wanna be - rich and famous, rich and famous. Do you really wanna be - rich and famous now.
All Of The Damned
Music & Lyrics: Hansen
One time in life is all I need, to satisfy my senses Delusions of reality are tearing your defenses
I never tried to catch the rainbow, But in the end I have a dream...
All of the damned will be wearing the crown It's hard to believe as your world's going down You won't understand why They served you so well You won't understand Why the hopeless are marching through hell
So all you see around you now Is falling down defenseless A free life is our only need, for life is only rented
I see a face on my mirror on the wall, And I don't know what it can be I see a face inside the rainbow At the end of the dream, The face in the rainbow is me
All of the damned will be wearing the crown It's hard to believe as your world turns around No, you won't understand why They served you so well It's hard to believe While the hopeless are marching through hell
I never thought I catch the rainbow But in the end it's all a dream I see a face in my mirror At the end of the dream The face in the mirror is me
'Cause all of the damned Will be wearing the crown It's hard to foresee As the world turns around No, you won't understand why They served you so well It's hard to believe While the hopeless are marching through hell
No Return
Music & Lyrics: Hansen
I'm riding the wind, don't need your request You'd never invite me but I will be your guest Oh no, no don't be afraid of the reaper It's time to go I call your name and you follow Fly with me
Take a look around and say you love me And I will guide you through the golden door For everything you'll see there is a reason The big wheel is turning like always before
There is no return from the other side of heaven For the big wheel turns and the circle must go on forever more
How do you like your termination day? So far - Kiss me good bye, cause I must fade away
Oh no, no don't be afraid of your master It's time to go it's calling your name now you follow Fly away
Take a look around and say you love me And I will guide you through the golden door For everything you'll see there is a reason The big wheel is turning like always before
There is no return from the other side of heaven For the big wheel turns and the circle must go on forever more
Welcome to eternal life, my friend Now take your seat on your cloud Enjoy your stay But always remember... There is no return
There is no return from the other side of heaven For the big wheel turns and the circle must go on forever more
There is no return from the other side of heaven For the big wheel turns and the circle must go on forever more
Armageddon
Music & Lyrics: Hansen
Now all you sinners this is the prophecy the revelation of your own destiny you had a dream once A dream that you have sold and now my brother annihilation is foretold
Will you remember ancient times when we rode across the air when the day of judgement comes
and when your world is gonna blow through your heart and take your soul in th twilight of the sun
I believe there's no tomorrow when we all will sink in sorrow when the day of judgement finally comes
It's the end of the world as we know it and it's only just begun the eyes of the world are closin' forever when the day of the judgement will come won't you help me now
Now tell me mother earth oh, we went wrong in the heart of everyone do you remember how it had begun in the desert in the twilight of the sun all dead and gone can you heal me, I am not the only one can you feel me, I don't want to be undone I'm everyone
Save me from this living hell I don't wanna know another tale someone help me through this on the way hear me now
It's the end of the world as we know it and it's only just begun the eyes of the world are closin' forever when the day of the judgement will come won't you help me now
All gods creation is finally dead and gone our revelation, the day of the judgement comes forevermore I stand alone the final fury has begun when the day has come
Guardians of the monsters of the earth take our lives away and you forever will be crushed keepers of the darkness in this world we will not surrender to the evil of your birth
Hope will never die and the clear blue sunny sky will ease the pain guardians of the monsters of the earth
Lead us not into the temptation save us from the revelations
I stand alone, I stand alone I stand alone, inside my head
Noone can hear, noone can hear noone can hear, my little word holy father take me on your wings of love the eyes of the world are closin' forever when the day of the judgement has...
It's the end of the world as we know it the eyes of the world are closin' forever when the day of the judgement has come won't you help me now
now all your sinners this is the prophecy the revelation of your own destiny sleep well and dream on the dream that you have sold and now my brothers this world is slowly getting cold
Heavy Metal Universe
Music & Lyrics: Hansen
We're the masters of the wind We're demons left in howl we're the undefeated warriors we have heard the call
We're the keepers and the leaders of the only thing we love we're the saviours and protectors from above
In your sky there is no limit and masters we have none heavy metal is the only one
'cause its heavy metal universe an it's never going down flying 'cross the universe we're heavy metal bound we're heavy metal bound
With a burning hot desire like a supersonic blast we have come to show the world that we have come to last
There ain't no way to stop us and you'll never kill our pride 'cause it's not only music it's a chosen way of life
And our world has got no borders and in union we all stand 'cause heavy metal is our promissed land
'cause it's a heavy metal universe with a heavy metal sound masters of the thunder shake you to the ground
It's a heavy metal bomber and it's never going down flying 'cross the universe we're heavy metal bound we're heavy metal bound
See my hands held to the sky let me rock you 'till forever raise your voice we're soaring high swear allegance now or never burning up we build a flame as we speak the oath togheter metal is our way forever... ... way forevermore
And our world has got no borders and in union we all stand 'cause heavy metal is our promissed land
'cause it's a heavy metal universe with a heavy metal sound masters of the thunder shake you to the ground it's a heavy metal bomber and it's never going down flying 'cross the universe we're heavy metal bound we're heavy metal bound
One With The World
Music: Hansen, Wessel - Lyrics: Hansen
Do you think there's a chance For this world to live in unity as one? I can try to believe But I feel it's like a view into the sun.
Blinded by the light everything will look so fine But still I feel the rays are burning my soul.
So you say you believe We can change the world together if we try. I know we won't change. When it comes to the point Do you think we reach an aim that is too high? I know we don't arrange.
But I know we're all the same When the final curtain falls And the Sighs on the way Are leading us home
When I'm one with the world I am one with my mind Forget all the fury there's no need to cry There's a place we all go, salvation to find There's freedom to come When I'm one with the world and my mind.
Do you feel, do you know? There's an answer to the question when you're gone. You're not alone. You will see, we will see Is there nothing or a better place to go? We can't go wrong.
There are echoes in the wind And they say don't be afraid 'cos the Sighs on the way Are leading us home
When I'm one with the world I am one with my mind Forget all the fury there's no need to cry There's a place we all go, salvation to find There's freedom to come When I'm one with the world and my mind.
One with the world One with the world One with the world I am one! One with the world One with my mind One with my heart
Dan's Solo
Razorblade Sigh
Music & Lyrics: Hansen
Out of the valley of death the man turns his back stares up to the hills, his eyes burning red he licks his palm, with brown dried blood turns, graining teeth, up to his lord
The darkness of the night turns bright at his cry so quiet but deadly Burning deep within, and now he will begin he cries out to his lord forevermore
It's the razorblade sigh shooting up to the sky blood on the wings, one of the kings there's a burning within when the storm closes in he is one of a kind, in the hands of time razorblade
His raging fire burns you with desire as you're taken down into his gravity he wants you now, into his masterplan and he'll be taking you into his dignity
Tires are burning on the way through hell fallen angel set me free wheels are turning, take me far beyond Holding out my hands in victory
It's the razorblade sigh shooting up to the sky blood on the wings, one of the kings there's a burning within when the storm closes in he is one of a kind, in the hands of time razorblade, razorblade
Death angel is coming You see him ride across the land time in his hands
The darkness of the night turns bright at his cry it's burning deep within he cries for more
As I awake at the end of the road there's a rainbow slowly he'll fade, the drawning of time on the wings of the razor As I awake at the end of the road there's a rainbow slowly he'll fade away the drawning of time on the wings of the razorblade
Heart Of The Unicorn
Music & Lyrics: Hansen
Masters are relentless, torture is for slaves Money, greed and power drives you to obey Temperature is rising, shakes me to the core Blood and domination, victims of the law
When bloody angels spread their wings
We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn... Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn... ...is dead
I see the demons rising, beyond their sleeping void Deep and down the masters take them to the light Their piercing rays are blazing, obliterating fast All dreams are torn to pieces, vaporized at last
When bloody angels spread their wings
We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn... Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn... ...is dead
I scan the dead horizon, illuminated curse In squished imagination, catastrophies unfurl Beyond the cataclysm, a dream of Unicorns The purest heart in heaven, stabbed by poisoned thorns
Bloody angels, searing with fire-turn to dust
All through the millenniums, I've seen the writing on the wall Into our oblivion, we are the riders on the storm
We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn... Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn... ...is dead
Beware - all dead No light - all dead No dreams - all dead No life - you're dead
Last Before The Storm
Music & Lyrics: Hansen
Who's controlling all the misery and pain When the error signs are lighted in the masterhall And from the start the action is in vein Cause the beast is always careful to avoid the fall
We crawl up to the skies. We'll never return again
We're the last before the storm Watching the sun going down on us We wish we had never been born To be the last before the storm
Who's ever gonna change the world I don't understand what we are fighting for The truth is sad, no lying, we are cursed I don't really know who ever made the law
We cry on for more, we wonder what's next to the world We settle the score, we never look back
We're the last before the storm Watching the sun going down on us We wish we had never been born To be the last before the storm
Cry out for the people who don't know the world They don't understand what they say and they're cursed Lying for reasons in search for the truth
Mephisto - we comin' down Mephisto - we comin' down
We cry out for more, we wonder what's next to the world We settle the score, we never look back
We're the last before the storm Watching the sun going down on us We wish we had never been born To be the last before the storm
Victim Of Fate
Originally performed by Helloween, written by Kai Hansen
I was born in the rotten part of the town The biggest trap I had seen Wherever you'll go and wherever you'll get to Evil is all around
My mother's a bitch my father's a killer Gettin' paid for murder Fightin' and strugglin' the whole day The only way to survive
[Bridge:]
Wanted from law but they'll never catch me I'd much rather die in this bloody war
[Chorus:]
Fly high touch the sky Never know the reason why it ends Victim of fate!
I had to kill people to save my own life I don't wanna go to hell I started at the bottom I'm headin' for the top
I'll never return I'll never go back To that goddamn part of the town Headhunters won't get me 'cause I'm not stupid But this ain't the life I dreamt of
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
What now lonely man who's standing In the shadows of the streets You're left alone with no helpin' hand beside you You hide from the daylight living in darkness You got no friends you can trust nobody Except for yourself The only shade that's beside you Is the shade of Lucifer Laughing with a satanic smile And his friend Death sharpens his sickle You don't wanna die, do you? But you will You will burn in hell!
[Chorus]
Fly high, touch the sky, you will die!
Rising Star / Shine On
Music: Schlächter - Lyrics: Hansen
We drive, we drive, we're riding on through the universe We've come to reach our destination planet earth We come, we run, you cannot see us, flying in our spaceships, shooting 'cross the sky We explore and we all know what this is about for us all
So many light years we have travelled far from home Someday we'll be there I know
Shine on, Rising star We travelled such a long way But still you seem so far Shine on, Rising star for our belief in unity at heart Rising Star Come on and shine
Living was torture and dying release A declining world, no future, no hope We were passing the point of no return
So many light years, still we travel on and on And someday we will call you home
Shine on, Rising Star Diamond in the distance, still you seem so far Shine on, Rising Star Forever light the darkness in our hearts Rising Star, Rising Star
Salvation, Damnation We crawl across the sky with pain Forever we will fly
Out in the darkness There's a never ending light Still we are far away But we'll be there one day Someday we will call you home
Shine on, Rising Star We travelled such a long way but still you seem so far Shine on, Rising Star Forever light the darkness in our hearts Rising Star, Rising Star
Shadows in the darkness, so far away from home Standing all alone, noone there beside me
Shadows all around, so far away from home I know I'm not alone, it seems we're lost in space and time Shine on
Shine on now, and warm the tears we've shared through years It's our prison, final reason for the freedom and the glory that we feel Are you for real?
Shine on, Rising Star Diamond in the distance Still you seem so far Shine on, Rising Star Forever light the darkness in our hearts Rising Star, Rising Star Shine on, Rising Star Come on and shine for us Shine on, Shine forever more Shine on, Our survival Rising Star, the last chance for us all The only hope for future and a home For us all For us all Come on and shine, Rising Star
The Silence
Music & Lyrics: Hansen
When you're drowning, when you're freezin', when you're feeling cold There's a light in the darkness as the elder always told. When the winter's coming closer and the autumn's passing by, Then the world will sink in silence and I think we all should try. Oh, I wanna live my life in a fairy tale Where the end is always good and never sad. Show me the way to another world Where the sun is always shining in the end. And we fight back the tears, and we lose our fears. Let the world remain in silence for a while. Sun in our minds in a world full of ice, Let the silence remain for a little while.
Somebody came and slammed the door took the feelin' away from our hearts; And the horror took hold of a place in our hearts filled with love.
What is left behind the ice, behind the make up and the lies Tell me what goes on inside our minds. There is a hole in our sky, getting bigger growing wide No more answer but we hold the line - - uh, yeah - - - See and hear what we have done to us all, we wanna be free more than anything, Do you hear what I say to you? We will make it through, the sun shall shine.
Hear the words we say and see the light of day We never will be free until the sun is shining for us all
Carry on, carry on and make our dreams come true And for a little while we stay together. Carry on, carry on, may all our lovin'stay And for a little while we stay together forever, Together, forever.
Heaven Or Hell
Music & Lyrics: Hansen
Where will I go now it's all over Where will I be now all is said and done Here comes the time, prepare for justice Seems like my final journey has begun
Riding on the wind, there's only one place left to go Take me to my afterlife, high up or down below
Heaven or Hell - where do we go when we are leaving Heaven or Hell - whatever comes to set us free Heaven or Hell - I've gone a long way and I see there's no wishing well The choice is made, it's heaven or hell
I'm not the one who was expected So I'll return and be from heaven sent I'm gonna get myself elected And now I wanna be the president - "Viva el Presidente"
Master of the damned I'll be the savior of you all Take me as a holy god to save you from the fall
Heaven or Hell - where is my final destination Heaven or Hell - whatever comes to set us free Heaven or Hell - we've gone a long way and we'll see there is no wishing well The choice is made, it's heaven or hell
Master of the damned, I'll be the savior of you all I'm your revelation I'm a walking miracle
Heaven or Hell - what is our final destination Heaven or Hell - where do we go from here Heaven or Hell - we've gone a long way and we see there is no wishing well The choice is made, it's heaven or hell
Heaven or hell It's heaven or hell There's no wishing well It's heaven or hell
The Guardians Of Mankind
Music & Lyrics: Richter
For no one to see for no one to hear They fight for our souls without any fear When injustice done they open their gates To maintain balance between good and bad
And as the winds of freedom blow they vanish into haze The mighty shadow turns away and wisdom conquers hate
The guardians of Mankind Are losin' their faith 'Cause malice and falseness Spread over the human race If guardians of mankind Won't shelter our souls The rulers of darkness Will soon gain control
Don't try to deceive them don't try to play false 'Cause losing their favour will be the end of shelter
And as the winds of freedom blow they vanish into haze The mighty shadow turns away and wisdom conquers hate The guardians of Mankind Are losin' their faith 'Cause malice and falseness Spread over the human race If guardians of mankind Won't shelter our souls The rulers of darkness Will soon gain control
And as the winds of freedom blow they vanish into haze The mighty shadow turns away and wisdom conquers hate
The guardians of Mankind Are losin' their faith 'Cause malice and falseness Spread over the human race
Guardians of Mankind Are losin' their faith 'Cause malice and falseness Spread over the human race If guardians of mankind Won't shelter our souls The rulers of darkness Will soon gain control
New World Order
Music & Lyrics: Hansen
On wings of tomorrow we're coming to fly Erasing the sorrow and this is the place where you die We're shaking the chains off the world of today We're coming to get you no matter what you're gonna say
This is the time of the ending It's the dawn of a new world order This is a new beginning Where a new world shall arise, we scream On the wings of yesterday you're gonna die And you know it's gonna be - we're screaming
This is illumination - we are We are illuminates - beware This is illumination - we are We are illuminates
We live inside society, our presence is unknown We plot and we manipulate you to which way to go Illumination comes across the world to bring an end Intimidating silent force that puts us in command
This is the dawn of the ending It's the time of a new world order This is a new beginning Where a new world shall arise, we scream On the wings of yesterday you're gonna die And we know it's gonna be - forever
This is illumination - We are We are illuminates - Beware This is illumination - We are We are illuminates
In the darkness, we shall await Prepare for changes, to seal your fate
This is illumination - We are We are illuminates - Beware This is illumination - We are We are illuminates
I Want Out (Hidden Bonus Track)
Originally performed by Helloween
From our lives' beginning on we are pushed in little forms no one asks us how we like to be in school they teach you what to think but everyone says different things but they're all convinced that they're the ones to see
[Bridge:] So they keep talking and they never stop and at a certain point you give it up so the only thing that's left to think is this
[Chorus:] I want out--to live my life alone I want out--leave me be I want out--to do things on my own I want out--to live my life and to be free
People tell me A and B they tell me how I have to see things that I have seen already clear so they push me then from side to side they're pushing me from black to white they're pushing 'til there's nothing more to hear
[Bridge:] But don't push me to the maximum shut your mouth and take it home 'cause I decide the way things gonna be
[Chorus:] I want out--to live my life alone I want out--leave me be I want out--to do things on my own I want out--to live my life and to be free
There's a million ways to see the things in life a million ways to be the fool in the end of it, none of us is right sometimes we need to be alone
[Solo: Kai/Both]
No no no, leave me alone
[Chorus:] I want out--to live my life alone I want out--leave me be I want out--to do things on my own I want out--to live my life and to be free
