The Lyrics
Labyrinth Alpha
COLD
Lying here in the cold
crumbled and trampled over
Blinding fear, a dismal life alone
May it hurt, truth be told
Uncertain, discontented
Fears convert into pain
When the world grows cold around you
a sense of nothingness that ails your soul
can turn into sorrow and despair
Dreaming
In the haze our mind blends into
a state of unison is all we know
a garden of Eden we can share
when the world grows cold
Hanging on to one hope
I can repress no longer
Waiting for a sign of some response
Even though worlds apart
may be meant to stay asunder
Can't let go
Have to try
When the world grows cold around you
a sense of nothingness that ails your soul
can turn into sorrow and despair
Dreaming
In the haze our mind blends into
a state of unison is all we know
a garden of Eden we can share
when the world grows cold
KINGDOM OF ENDS
I have waded the winter of frozen dreams
I've been lead to believe
in the calling of the heart
I have gathered a fortune and seen it gleam
Still I know, in the end
the accomplishments rarely meet the ends
Our life they say is in a higher hand
Somehow the thought can't seem to bud
In prayer they call upon thee now, o lamb
and seek redemption through your blood
So I carry on leading the life I know
still refining in terms of a personal bylaw
Turning back on the ghosts
from a time gone long ago
as I quest for the virtue of man
while repelling the vanity of the mind
Marching forth into the state
where in dreams and while awake
I know I'm yielding to a universal law
While the whole world condescends
I'll chase the Kingdom of Ends
and no matter how far...
I never will demise
THE MIRAGE
Turn to the cross in the guilt you feel
your fate's for sale so here's the deal
a get-out-of-hell-free card
on judgement day
Render your mortal glory
to the congregation, the holy
and when you perish
the pearly gates await
As they say...
on a sacred path we tread
and share His grace
Now for sale
the means to reach the healing hand
Every day
the price is paid
and deeds of sin erased
as they sell
their own Mirage of God to Man
To evade your condemnation
come redeem your
pass to reconciliation
Help us to help you
stay upon the way
The Holy Ghost amongst our clergy
sets the price to pay
for divine mercy
gloria mundi in nomine Dei
As they say...
on a sacred path we tread
and share His grace
Now for sale
the means to reach the healing hand
Every day
the price is paid
and deeds of sin erased
as they sell
their own Mirage of God to Man
A SONG IN SOLITUDE
Morning shroud is floating by
and the first light is nigh
Once the dawning day revives
my weary mind - I face the wind
Awakened once again into
a world made of dreams
Some of which are made to life
and lived again
some are forlorn
some laid to rest
I run into some
that have come true
I wish I could start anew...
Thereby ends another day
and I'm passing you by
just to notice once again
it's all in my mind
all in my eyes
and all I know is
I'm falling deep
into the unknown
and into oblivion's arms
You're calling me
ready to condone
I follow and there you are
I carry you home and the
grace in your eyes
makes me weep
As we embrace
you whisper it's all just a dream
And right on the morrow
it's quiet again
and your memory's
fading away
And in solitude
I wake into the day
LABYRINTH ALPHA
Truth - I'll stand behind it 'til the end
though the world is moving on
Away - it's time to open up
our eyes, I'm told
and think about the here and now
Blind - I need to trust,
it's all I have
like a beacon in the dark
And still I'm searching
for my trail in time
He chose for me to find
Eyes cold, skies ashen grey
on a lifelong quest for the way
but where will I rest my head
I know I will falter someday
Long journey, winding road
leading to gardens restored
A life sacrificed in vain
or pathway to glory beyond
One day this labyrinth unfolds
I'll have all wonders to behold
His consent is more
than a means to an end
Peace of mind
and ever guiding light
I have assured myself
the path that I follow is true
But after misfortune and pain
I dread what it's
leading me through
Truth - I'll stand behind it 'til the end
though the world is moving on
And still I'm searching
for my trail in time
He chose for me to find
Eyes cold, skies ashen grey
on a lifelong quest for the way
but where will I rest my head
I know I will falter someday
Long journey, winding road
leading to gardens restored
A life sacrificed in vain
or pathway to glory beyond
One day this labyrinth unfolds
I'll have all wonders to behold
His consent is more
than a means to an end
Peace of mind
and ever guiding light
Still I'm searching
for my trail in time...
RIVERBALL
A burning soul within
Battle's nigh and hearts begin to pound
And as the clash begins
we show no mercy, give no ground
This train will break you
time and time again
Come challenge us but
you will never win
Balls of steel...!
Riverball!
We make a stand and we'll never fall
Riverball!
bask in the limelight forevermore
Time is running out
And so we're stronger once again
Outcome on the wall
and this defeat they will retain
This train will break you
time and time again
Come challenge us but
you will never win
Balls of steel...!
Riverball!
We make a stand and we'll never fall
Riverball!
bask in the limelight forevermore
IN THE FINAL HOUR
Once, someone said
that life well spent is long
On through the years you come
to wonder what is wrong
Looking back and forth
the pathway of my time
Maybe I'm still learning life or
lack the strength to
make the best of mine
And the seasons, they change
time is passing us by
and there's none left to waste, so
Take my hand
and in the final hour we'll stand
Make a new star shine
for the sands of time
in the hourglass
will run out some day
So may a new life bloom on the way
and we will survive
and for ever thrive
in the world we'll leave behind
one day
Striving to keep
my mind stable and strong
Reason and feeling
don't that often get along
Always afraid of what will lie ahead
Something keeps telling me
it's wasted time
that I should fear instead
Only whisper of winds
just a breath in eternity
still, a lifetime within, so
Take my hand
and in the final hour we'll stand
Make a new star shine
for the sands of time
in the hourglass
will run out some day
So may a new life bloom on the way
and we will survive
and for ever thrive
in the world we'll leave behind
one day
Broken dreams
shattered reveries
fall from grace
Don't you cry
Past demises make us stronger,
better still
Every step brings us
closer to find our place
Have to try
every chance may be the last
So come, take my hand
and in the final hour we'll stand
Make a new star shine
for the sands of time
in the hourglass
will run out some day
So may a new life bloom on the way
and we will survive
and for ever thrive
in the world we'll leave behind
one day
May a new life bloom on the way
and we will survive
and for ever thrive
in the world we'll leave behind
one day
VOX DEI
Though for a single moment
lost in time
I can sense a reason in this all
It never ceases
to defy our minds
for as we've once risen
so we'll fall
Show me life's delight
Help me gather reasons to rejoice
Gazing out with blinded eyes
All the while
we're listening for the voice
Awaiting reply
Under skies
I find that state again
where I sink into a cosmic sea
A stripe of silent stars
surrounds my soul
I can almost feel
they're watching me
And the world we're passing by
is just a grain of sand in the sky
And we're all but a fading sigh
Living out our time
Living out our time
in a blink of an eye
Show me life's delight
(we're falling down)
Help me gather reasons to rejoice
(empty inside)
Gazing out with blinded eyes
(and I wonder why)
All the while
we're listening for the voice
Awaiting reply
Awaiting reply...
And so if you hear
I hope you listen
In the dark I wish upon a star
Show me life's delight
(we're falling down)
Help me gather reasons to rejoice
(empty inside)
Gazing out with blinded eyes
(and I wonder why)
All the while
we're listening for the voice
Awaiting reply
(Gazing out with blinded eyes
and I wonder why)
All the while
we're listening for the voice
Awaiting reply
Times are changing
faith is running low
Mankind seeking
the essence of the soul
Values of our life
are redefined
Still we're searching
for a voice divine
Halki maan me kuljemme
taivaan taa katsomme
Mistä tuun ma ihminen
tuskin saan tietää sen
Into Demise and Victory
THEY WAR THE FALLEN LORDS
On the moors a new day has come
Marching forward - the Legion as one
Fighting for this great land with our toil
until the last of us sleep in the soil
Are we doomed to live...
(and Darkness reign)
or will we die defending the Light?
(and follow the freedom call)
Baptized in fire, blood and gore
heroes are born to fight and fall
Brought up by mourning souls who've
lost their loved ones to the war
Father and son, king and pawn
Each will succumb before the dawn
But until the curtain falls...
by God, They War the Fallen Lords
Long ago, a legend was born
into darkness, a world raped and torn
by the creatures that reigned in his age
He'd prevail in the war he would wage
And his deeds redeemed
(our barren land)
Then he died or vanished away
(soon to return again)
I recall the hero of the world
breaking the creatures' reign
...now I watch him lead the fallen lords
and destruction veils our kind again
Baptized in fire, blood and gore
heroes are born to fight and fall
Brought up by mourning souls who've
lost their loved ones to the war
Father and son, king and pawn
Each will succumb before the dawn
But until the curtain falls...
by God, They War the Fallen Lords
Are all our tries a real chance
to redeem this godforsaken land?
Are all our dreams mere reverie?
Baptized in fire, blood and gore
...lost to the war
Baptized in fire, blood and gore
heroes are born to fight and fall
Brought up by mourning souls who've
lost their loved ones to the war
Father and son, king and pawn
Each will succumb before the dawn
But until the curtain falls...
by God, They War the Fallen Lords
CYCLE OF LIGHT AND SHADOW
I lie awake and gaze at the starlit sky
All the grief and sorrow fade away for just a sigh
As the heroes of our time roam through their painful lives
I can see the fire burning in their eyes:
They believe there'll be a time when
all the pain has gone away
It makes me think it's after all worth fighting for
But when the children of tomorrow
turn the page back to this day
What will they learn of you and me?
Maybe they know our eyes are mirrors of the truth
and thus reflect the pain we fear and the heroes we revere
But when the shadow reaches out upon our youth
We can feel no fear nor pain
The eternal Cycle reigns over all
Though I hope our mission brings new peace upon the land
I'm afraid the cycle of the time keeps going on
And if so, this tyrant's falling down by my own hand
But one day I would become another one...
And the shadow fades away as light prevails the dawning day
only to succumb to darkness once again
I hear men who passed away chanting in the wind...
they say: "This is your War, you are the future king"
Maybe they know our eyes are mirrors of the truth
and thus reflect the pain we fear and the heroes we revere
But when the shadow reaches out upon our youth
We can feel no fear nor pain
The eternal Cycle reigns over all
Those who've paid the price and crossed the line
must now understand and see the greater span
I know everyone can see the sign
and I feel I'm part of something great... divine...
When I die our fates will intertwine
Maybe they know our eyes are mirrors of the truth
and thus reflect the pain we fear and the heroes we revere
But when the shadow reaches out upon our youth
We can feel no fear nor pain (but) the eternal Cycle reign...
Time goes by, chains around its flow
One last time we strike and cities fall
In ruins they lie but little do we know
that one day someone rebuilds the walls
All our lives are one stage in time
and now our time's begun
Grieving those who fell,
we live this time
until we say farewell
EXPEDITION (INTO DEMISE AND VICTORY)
PART I: Prologue
Legion sleep, the night has fallen
Every day it seems all hope will fade
Dreams are torn and hearts are broken
I live these lines and write them day by day
And I hope one day we'll find a sign of peace
and free our minds from the War
and leave all pain behind
Too many promises we've heard along the way...
But for the hope that remains, we carry on
and await the day the shadow disappears
On that day the Lords will fall
PART II: Theme of the Legion
(instrumental)
PART III: Through the Province
The last free town prevailed, but truth behind that triumph
was stranger than the rumors that we'd heard before
The Head was found that day, it spoke to us and helped us
It seemed to want to lead us to the truth of all in the ruins...
We found the hidden tome and in the hour of darkness
I read about the future world in grief and woe
And from the city ruins we fled towards the mountains
into a tunnel that would help elude the foe
Thus, from that day...
through the wind and snow we're marching on
Now on our way across the realm
(for the armies of the North)
where tyrant's rule remains
(through the heathland striving forth in fury)
forgotten be his name...
And as we left the plains where freedom used to reign
we knew we might not see our home again
And as we journeyed through the Province now in flames
We knew the quest had just begun...
Two days underground... meanwhile it turned to the winter
We heard the Fallen were approaching us before
And while the Champions set out to free our captured leader
we were to seek the arm that once belonged to a Fallen Lord
Through the wind and snow we're marching on
Now on our way across the realm
(for the armies of the North)
where tyrant's rule remains
(through the heathland striving forth in fury)
forgotten be his name...
And as we left the plains where freedom used to reign
we knew we might not see our home again
And as we journeyed through the Province now in flames
We knew the quest had just begun
Oh, we knew the quest had just begun...
PART IV: Captured in Stone
I can feel it's spring again, we're on the move once more
We have come down from the mountains, it's the 18th year of the war
Now we're camped before the woodland realm and I feel a bit unease
When a scout emerges through the forest, crashing out from the trees
The Fallen, drawing near...!
so it begins as their hordes appear
Troops of war we're able to withstand...
but the Fallen Lord has something else in hand
What took place before my eyes, still remains unknown
But as I raise my head and glance around me, we are Captured in Stone
There are signs of ancient evil beings once trapped within these walls
We refuse to share their fate, believe me, I can hear freedom call
Yes, we will find a way out of this maze
Time stands still as we roam these dismal caves
Moments pass, a world shatters in his hand
And we will last in a future king's command
There's a structure made of skulls of men, a horrifying sight
Atop, a tattered standard of an ancient might
"Something tells me...
we'll see it once more before the end"
Yes, we will find a way out of this maze
Time stands still as we roam these dismal caves
Moments pass, a world shatters in his hand
And we will last in a future king's command
PART V: Northbound
(instrumental)
PART VI: Before the Gates of Hell
On the road... I keep on writing
Death and pain my weary hands convey
Through the marsh we've roamed on fighting
Now we're here, our journey ends today
Only hours until sunrise
The Legion wait for their demise
As I turn my head I realize...
I stand Before the Gates of Hell
PART VII: Finale (At the Fortress)
Here we wait for the dawn
and behold the Fortress rise ahead
As the rays of the sunlight fall
the Legion's blood, it will be shed
I was chosen for the plan
and if we prevail we may survive
as the rest of the Legion's men
engage the Fallen one last time
There's a half-a-million foe
from here to the stronghold
Not a single one of us survive
Die is cast...
and twenty-hundred men fight to the last
Meanwhile the standard we found in the caves
is brought to the field and before the Fortress raised
And now we wait in the midst of the war
"Keep in mind that he has been killed before..."
As the light fades away
from the heathland phantom's way
In the end of all dismay
a new dawn will then await...
One display, one domain,
different fates and different names
But the soul - just one - remains,
a single everlasting flame
And every hero's one and the same...
Time goes by but some things last
And the standard did provoke his past
The field behind was turning red...
as we took his life and cut off his head
The Legion lay in pools of blood
the battle's lost but the War is won
The sun is rising from behind the fort...
By the sword we've turned the page of time
and the dark alliance of the Lords:
shattered with the mastermind.
Now the one who seemed to rule them all...
his remains lie headless on the ground
And the rest of them will face downfall
for they will be hunted down...
All, behold the Ruler of the Fallen Lords!
As foretold, we removed him from his throne
See his head in endless darkness fall,
Rule of death... it will reign this land no more
And after all the strife and after all the pain
at last there's grace upon the realm again
We live our dream once more and now it's on the wing
Eulogy for the slain we sing...
(and see a rising star)
Few percieve - a Being disappears...
As we know, it's taken place before
It is gone now - for a thousand years
We know what it's waiting for...
As the Comet rises, (it) takes new form,
then returns to rule and rearray
The eternal Cycle turns the world
as heroes rise... and fade away.
Grace upon the Realm
REIGN OF ETERNITY
Child of The Guild:
Echoes of war run through the night
shattering dreams of the past
The spirits that bind us revive
the valour of heroes at last
Guild of the keep's now marching on
the will to defend is unbound
I feel there's a wind coming on,
words of the elder resound...
The Elder:
Demons of our time you will behold
The steeds are galloping to find
legions that are strengthening your foe
And when the gale reforms the sky
time has come for taking life
Child of The Guild:
Voices of doubt weakening me
I'm forcing them out of my head
As in the distance I see
a glow of the hell that's ahead
I know in my heart I'm sowing the seed
of what there shall be when we fall
Each of us bearing a dream
I'd die for the greatest of all
The Voice of Eternity:
And thus another mortal soul transcends
here lies the token of his oath
Heroes die though deeds will live again
within the stories of the old
And every night he will devote
his life to the land, his home...
The Elder:
Gaze at the dawn, you will see the lands of lore
once become a realm of stillness and serenity
There, far beyond tyranny and dreads of war
fallen heroes dwell under the Reign of Eternity
Child of The Guild:
Fatherland, bless my deeds
to grace upon the realm attain
I'll revive my ancestors' legacy!
The Voice of Eternity:
And thus another mortal soul transcends
here lies the token of his oath
Heroes die though deeds will live again
...and in the dawn of the new day
his soul will once again prevail
within the sons of the brave...
The Elder:
Gaze at the dawn, you will see the lands of lore
once become a realm of stillness and serenity
There, far beyond tyranny and dreads of war
fallen heroes dwell under the Reign of Eternity
Gaze at the dawn, you will see the lands of lore
once become a realm of stillness and serenity
There, far beyond tyranny and dreads of war
all immortal souls will bow the Reign of Eternity
EULOGY
Strolling over stone in silence all alone
It seems that there is nothing left for me
To ensconce my way arising disarray
will slow me down forevermore
Despite all things of life that may come in too high
Encouragement of soul I undergo
Glance of eye's your sword, encase the final words
While something keeps enchanting me
In spite of where you are you'll see a rising star
And thus you know we live until we rise again
Out of all pain and strife to everlasting life
Where all of us will peace of mind attain...
I strive among our kind and some will surely find
A path of glory in another time
There will be my home where no one lies alone
and sorrow will be left behind
In spite of where you are you'll see a rising star
And thus you know we live until we rise again
Out of all pain and strife to everlasting life
Where all of us will peace of mind attain...
After all this time, an endeavour behind
The final words of farewell:
Always mend your soul, reach towards your goal
And feel the bliss upon the way
In spite of where you are you'll see a rising star
And thus you know we live until we rise again
Out of all pain and strife to everlasting life
Where all of us will peace of mind attain...
NORTHERN PALADINS
Alone in the wind with fire and steel
they ended their quest on this enchanted field
They have the approval of immortal power
A rash, valiant knight, a brave brotherhood
So fearless and rude yet cautious and bold
They walk on 'the desert between your ears'
Clash of steel on the fields of green echoes in the wind
You will see through the mist and steam
witnessing a triumph of the kings
On the fields of victory we stand alone
and revive our ancestors' pride
We heed their legacy into the night
and the flames of fire and lightning rise
in the Northern Paladins' eyes
We'll dance on your grave, the last on the hill
alone in the night on the still battlefield
We live by the laws of our ancient dominion
Our fathers behind our lineage and blood
Their deeds and their power are deep in my heart
We fight and we proudly hail from our kingdom
Clash of steel on the fields of green echoes in the wind
You will see through the mist and steam
witnessing a triumph of the kings
On the fields of victory we stand alone
and revive our ancestors' pride
We heed their legacy into the night
and the flames of fire and lightning rise
in the Northern Paladins' eyes
FATHERLAND
A knight in a kingdom's keep...
The valiant and fierce that I lead,
they depend on the glorious king
A child of the guild I am,
we speak for the promised land
now I share my beliefs with the wind
And deep in my heart I'm eager to fight and win
("...forces flowing through your soul...")
Fatherland, I reach for thee
Grace upon the realm - the greatest victory
Through the deeds along the quest of mine
you'll live inside of me until the end of time
The wind, as the lore of time
brings a lament from the sky
and I reckon that something is on
I'll enter the no-man's-land
with a glimmering blade in my hand
the endeavour for power and glory has begun...
Tears of blood will be shed on our way
even right from the start
There's a force to prevent disarray,
deep in my heart... the love to my home
I'm eager to fight and win
("...forces flowing through your soul...")
Fatherland, I reach for thee
Grace upon the realm - the greatest victory
Through the deeds along the quest of mine
you'll live inside of me until the end of time
AND DEEDS LIVE ON
Set out to the ocean hoping to sail
where the winds of hope, they blow
Knowing dangers burden us on our way
to the west we turn our bows
The Trinidad became our home...
but to this land we will return
In this dawn...
the sun may shine in the sky
but out there the thunder awaits
Set sail before it's too late
Tales of damnation and cruel castigation
will have to succumb to this day
New dawn is rising beyond the horizon
forcing the tail-winds prevail
Crossing the ocean where
unseen horizons appear...
Tuulet veivät kauas luota maan
taivaankannen tietä seuraamaan
Vielä kerran häilyy se mielessäin
jos koskaan sammuen silmistäin
Tuo aika autuuden ja niin...
voitokas on muistomme kuolematon
In March of '20 we were bound to stop
by the shore of Patagonia
The vessels settled in San Julian
as winter came to thee, Magellan
We lost The Santiago... but others carried on
and eagerly strived to the sea
Tierra del Fuego we finally left behind
and the ocean brought us months of grief
The San Antonio had headed back to Spain
Thought our passage would be over soon
as we reached The Philippines
Dwellers of the isle were waging a war
and the fate was unforeseen
Thus he died, away from home
though his tries and deeds live on...
Tuulet veivät kauas luota maan
taivaankannen tietä seuraamaan
Vielä kerran häilyy se mielessäin
jos koskaan sammuen silmistäin
Tuo aika autuuden ja niin...
voitokas on muistomme kuolematon
ja niin aava taas on tyyni ja koskematon
THE RESIGNATION OF FALSE ARTS
(the dawn of mission: word starts
to spread in the domain of serenity)
Great dreams of rapture, transcendental bloom
reigning the essence of what's known to you
Signs of the real world can't enter your homes
but I know there's more than what you'll ever...
know in your peaceful but hollow domain,
open your mind for a new change of reign...
We are but messengers heeding the word
thus you will behold a new order of world...!
(transition)
Intense perception of life,
like thunder raging in the sky,
controls my heart
leading me on into a new dawn
Glorious, divine melodies
corroborate from within
I feel reborn into the new dawn,
a dream once started must go on...
(dormancy)
(the dawn of rivalry: false forms of art
begin to reign the minds of the weak,
leading the world into injustice and greed...)
Born from the greed to appeal to the weak
with its tempting style and simplicity
Arise, be applied, for the world filled with lies
is in need of art and sincerity
(preparation for the battle)
(the clash for superiority)
(transition)
Powerful kingdom of
light, peace, art and immortal might,
bring on your laws: elation to thee
and those, who (are) within the silent walls
- left to die - (who) take on to trust,
to rely on what they learn,
what they have heard... raise high your voice!
Intense perception of life,
like thunder raging in the sky,
controls our hearts
leading us on into a new dawn
Glorious, divine melodies
corroborate from within
We are reborn into the new dawn
a dream once started has gone on...
(return to serenity: never will man's greed
disguised in art leave the world,
but the change is on...)
On wings of time false arts resign
True skills sustain, for good remain
Our futures lie in hands divine
rest free and sound, rapture's unbound...
In your hand, reign over land,
wings of freedom try!
(peace at last...)
Dream Once More
SEAL TO A CENTURY
After a peaceful and quiet era
the age of the new race is calling
Species of pain and corruption thus far
they have seen the future - they're falling
I will give you no power divine
for to challenge the rage of the thunder
But you will gain a curse upon your kind
Behold the sea, the cradle of life:
ruined and decayed - a shame on your kind
You rape the oceans, earth and sky
Leaving the care and worries behind
We are your fate, we infer and feed
on top of the sky and below the sea
We raise a plague upon mankind
and over the years the Seal To A Century reprised
One for the land, for the earth and the sea
will find her way through the fire
Even the science and theology
sustain the nature's desire
I will blame you for what you have done
to the holy, the lord of existence
She will finally rise and judge you all
Behold the sea, the cradle of life:
ruined and decayed - a shame on your kind
You rape the oceans, earth and sky
Leaving the care and worries behind
We are your fate, we infer and feed
on top of the sky and below the sea
We raise a plague upon mankind
and over the years the Seal To A Century reprised
NORTHERN PALADINS

DREAM ONCE MORE
Dream (instrumental)
Reality (instrumental)
Dream, part II
I see highlighted shadows standing by the door
One of which is closing through the corridor
Satisfaction fills my heart as the sky begins to cry
Lucid visions everywhere, from dream to dream I fly
Legend
I wanted to know of the meaning of life
We were told there's a fountain of love
next to the well of all strife
For each one there is a place can be found
And in spite of the state of my mind
pieces began to compound:
Inner Peace
One must learn to live, to forgive
to begin to demise when the anger starts to live
inside a man of peace and dignity
Some have slain to live, but hear me:
do renounce the belief in the pagan heresies
for I believe what I have seen is true
Vision
I believe I have seen might before me
through a dream where the great aid the sore
in a kingdom of unspoken glory
By the side of the stream, if we try,
we can Dream Once More...
"Winter Freeze" on the "Blood of Heroes" (instrumental)
Return to Reality
For the dream that we share there is love one must bear
Cannot run neither hide from the great rule of fear
Now I know what is real what there is I can feel
But the dreams never die in me...
Fading Vision
I believe I have seen might before me
through a dream where the great aid the sore
in a kingdom of unspoken glory
By the side of the stream, if we try,
we can Dream Once More...
THE IVORY AGE
Deep in the sea of deeds of mankind
the swords and the shields expect us to
find the gate to the fallen ruins of the land
sceptre of rule in the cardinal's hand
Before we can fight we gaze to the sky
One should know we never demise
Now is the time we shall reprise, once and for all
Up to the time we've lived by sea
coast for the glory, the triumph for thee
First you must listen to voices above
Before you can face the battle below
Before we can fight we gaze to the sky
One should know we never demise
Now is the time we shall reprise, once and for all
Can you percieve? We live the age of ivory
Pilgrims for the glory marching to the fatherland
On the surging sea we were reaching for eternity
Long before the reign of blood was buried in the sand
FIELDS OF THE BEYOND
Until the time I'd be crossing the line
oblivion leaving the certain things away
This is the sign I've been longing to find
Don't want to wait until there is nothing to say
Ashen and black are the leaves of the fall
during the nightfall, dance of the shadows I see
Out from the mist came a silent call:
angel of glory accepting ascension for me...
Flowing through the hands of time
strong is the legacy taking me where I belong
Judgement bell begins to chime
Quietness I'll be encountering from this day on
on the Fields of The Beyond
Neither despair nor depressiveness
cover the gates to the holy land of the free
Days of the past are now meaningless
this is a start of a life in purity
Flowing through the hands of time
strong is the legacy taking me where I belong
Judgement bell begins to chime
Quietness I'll be encountering from this day on
on the Fields of The Beyond
Estates abound in the men
who've finally come to tranquillity
I am now one denizen:
Sometimes the meaning of life is unbound:
I know there is one yet it is to be found
Pursue the path and and it leads you and guides through hell...
Flowing through the hands of time
strong is the legacy taking me where I belong
Judgement bell begins to chime
Quietness I'll be encountering from this day on
on the Fields of The Beyond
Eulogy
EULOGY
Strolling over stone in silence all alone
It seems that there is nothing left for me
To ensconce my way arising disarray
will slow me down forevermore
Despite all things of life that may come in too high
Encouragement of soul I undergo
Glance of eye's your sword, encase the final words
While something keeps enchanting me
In spite of where you are you'll see a rising star
And thus you know we live until we rise again
Out of all pain and strife to everlasting life
Where all of us will peace of mind attain...
I strive among our kind and some will surely find
A path of glory in another time
There will be my home where no one lies alone
and sorrow will be left behind
In spite of where you are you'll see a rising star
And thus you know we live until we rise again
Out of all pain and strife to everlasting life
Where all of us will peace of mind attain...
After all this time, an endeavour behind
The final words of farewell:
Always mend your soul, reach towards your goal
And feel the bliss upon the way
In spite of where you are you'll see a rising star
And thus you know we live until we rise again
Out of all pain and strife to everlasting life
Where all of us will peace of mind attain...
MOONLIGHT EMBRACE
Seizing a chance of a lifetime, it's fading away
Demons' encampment misleading into disarray
Head for the shadow it's too far behind
Enchantment of soul meeting more of my kind
And the starlit sky it's there for us to fly
Enjoy in the dying sun
Rejoice, everything's been done
Awaiting the darkness,
waiting for Moonlight Embrace
We try to face the clear nightfall
Arise and shine to carry out the past recall:
To pass the point of no return our souls depart
Tonight the surges of delight refill my heart
These questions are for all to see
What kind of life is there for me?
To be locked up eternally...
Or am I just condemned to live?
Tornment and temptation have come in our life to stay
Searching for salvation will only lead to dismay
Timeless desire of danger lies deep
Staying alive by the skin of my teeth
Yet the starlit sky is there for us to fly
Enjoy in the dying sun
Rejoice, everything's been done
Awaiting the darkness,
waiting for Moonlight Embrace
We try to face the clear nightfall
Arise and shine to carry out the past recall:
To pass the point of no return our souls depart
Tonight the surges of delight refill my heart
THE CHANGE OF HEART
Torning aggression, calamitous power for minds of those who grieve
Exceedingly mighty recovery to daylight of hope, this I percieve
Conquer the darkness prevailing the fountain, and tidal waves unfold
Go for the dream to diminish the twilight which I now behold
Where shall we lie when the glory has faded?
This is what we call amendment of soul
Whereas this dream of mine's finally ended
Someone will still carry on
Once before our deeds upright were far apart
Wherever it is you may go, carry the times in your mind
From disgrace into the field of plain regard
is comprised within The Change of Heart
Unholy altar, perpetual sorrow, the nightfall hears a mound
Tale of the undying fight for believers of eagerness unbound
Where shall we lie when the glory has faded?
This is what we call amendment of soul
Whereas this dream of mine's finally ended
Someone will still carry on
Once before our deeds upright were far apart
Wherever it is you may go, carry the times in your mind
From disgrace into the field of plain regard
is comprised within The Change of Heart
No man of mind insane has made it through despair
By and by we might have tried to strain
Clarity is driving men insane
Once before our deeds upright were far apart
Wherever it is you may go, carry the times in your mind
From disgrace into the field of plain regard
is comprised within The Change of Heart
PALISADES
When the winds gain control for a spell
Dying hope turns away
See the wind bear laments,
here my knell tolls the tale of lonely days
I know my path's gone far astray
Ruthless fate, I lie and betray
Can't (you) see my self-inflicted
dismal road of life?
Suppose one succumbed to face life apart
Condemned to bear the enmity
I gladly recite the sins far behind
the Palisades of destiny
Crawling deep in a dark heresy
Look for thruth in disguise
Race the triumph of black harmony
waiting for the proud and wise
Every night I wait in dismay
My sunlight went out for today
Can't (you) see my self-inflicted
dismal road of life?
Suppose one succumbed to face life apart
Condemned to bear the enmity
I gladly recite the sins far behind
the Palisades of destiny
