1. DUNGEON

No ladies in the court to serve
No knights to make a duel
No rounded table for the king to rule
Castle built on clouds of ice
Fortress standing tall
Gates are never opened for
the rich or for the poor

Once the castle full of joy
Now the walls have been destroyed

The anguish deep inside,
stronger day by day
Blocking out the truth
that cannot be unveiled
Locked behind the gates of steel,
doors of oak and pine
All the answers hiding in
the Dungeon of your mind

Tournament of right and wrong
Is held within your core
Scales loaded with the sins
you haven't seen before
Castle built on clouds of fire
Castle built on lies
Heaven mere betrayal in disguise

Once your mind was full of joy
Now the plague has been deployed

The anguish deep inside,
stronger day by day
Blocking out the truth
that cannot be unveiled
Locked behind the gates of steel,
doors of oak and pine
All the answers hiding in
the Dungeon of your mind

It's all in your mind


2. SANDS OF TIME

Close my eyes and think about the day
All the lies I heard those people say
Once disguised,
betrayal is now grown in every mind
All these fears
Must keep my thoughts inside

Now I'm watching it... thinking it
Staring at it changing all too real
And I'm sensing it... fearing it
Feeling it take over this useless life

It all becomes too clear
That living this poor life
The ones who are sincere
Have turned to sands of time

Open eyes - I want to see the day
Want to feel its beauty
in a whole new different way
I've become the master of my life
I've begun to open all those locked doors
In your mind

Now I'm watching it... thinking it
Staring at it changing all too real
And I'm sensing it... fearing it
Feeling it take over this useless life

It all becomes too clear
That living this poor life
The ones who are sincere
Have turned to sands of time

Open up your mind

Now all of this is clear
I'm living back my life
The time I used to waste
Don't want to wait the tide
The end is getting near
So throw away your pride
It's time to win your fear
And take my hand instead
The sands of time


3. SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT

Silent mind...
Shadows trail in crystal sphere
Behind those eyes - Deep inside,
Beyond the deepest fear and pain
Shadows have another name
I'm screaming in the dark
Flames, the burning in my heart
I reach for the truth unknown
And fall into the mist unsewn

Set the sun, keep it out of reach
A new moon has begun
I cry for the mercy
Which is not

Hide me in the Shadows of the Night
The sky falls red and bleeding from inside.
Take me to the shores of evermore
And let me hide in the Shadows of the Night

Sleepless mind vision shifting shape
I close my eyes
Out of sight, Cannot feel or cannot breathe
With my ears I reach for your name
I'm screaming in the dark
Flames, the burning in my heart
I reach for the truth unknown
And fall into the mist unsewn

Set the sun, keep it out of reach
A new moon has begun
I cry for the mercy
Which is not

Hide me in the Shadows of the Night
The sky falls red and bleeding from inside.
Take me to the Shores of Evermore
And let me hide from the twisted light

Hide me in the Shadows of the Night
The sky falls red and bleeding from inside.
Take me to the Shores of Evermore
And let me hide in the Shadows of the Night


4. HOPE

I see a light, it paints the autumn air
A light - it makes me want to stare
And I think about those days
We used to hold our hands
I think about those days we used to care

I haven't lost my faith, no,
I haven't gone insane
I may be the one who's trod and kicked
The thing that keeps me going is

The Hope of something I can't say
The Hope for better day
It may be something new
Something real would do

I try remembering the time,
the things we used to do
I try remembering the time
when everything was new
And I see your face and the smile
that you would hide
I see what's going on and what has
happened in my life

Things that reminded me of you
Are now the things I'm looking forward to

I see a light, it paints the autumn air
A light - it makes me want to stare

The Hope of something I can't say
The Hope for better day
It may be something new
Something real would do
