1. INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. GLADIATOR

Minutes to freedom or minutes to death,
Freezing the beat of your heart
Facing the choices that you can not make,
Waiting for ending to start

Hide your pain
Play the game
Only the strong
Will survive!

Beast of the wilderness facing his fate
Madness in his angry eyes
Earning the Emperor's favor at last
Hoping for vengeance you rise

Sweat and blood
Dust and mud
Life is a game
With no shame

Hear them yell -
What a hell!
Every spectator
Loves gladiator!

Feeling no pain, no fear, no regret,
Playing with fire of death
You will not stop till you get your revenge
Fighting until the last breath

Hear them yell
In this hell
You are the king
Of the ring!

In your eyes
Through disguise
Emperor's hater -
Gladiator!


3. TEARS OF THE SUN

Whispers in the air are near
Fearful beating heart you hear
Wants to find the wings to fly

Hiding in the dark of night
Wait for early morning light
Shining through the velvet sky

Carry me, be my guide
As I wonder through this night
Let all else, come undone -
Melted by the morning sun

Heal the wounds, the scars and pain
Leave your fears in the rain
To awake from endless sleep

Let the hot and scorching flame
Destroy evil nightmare's aim
It can never ever keep!

Carry me, be my guide
As I wake up from this night
Let all else, come undone -
Washed with tears of morning sun

Carry me, be my guide
As I wonder through this night
Let all else, come undone -
Melted by the morning sun

Carry me, be my guide
As I wake up from this night
Let all else, come undone -
Washed with tears of morning sun


4. DARK HORIZON

Deep in cold and lonely ocean
The weary spuls fell to rest
Grand illusions of devotion -
The Sailor's never-ending quest

Secrets unspoken,
Stories untold...

All fearful stories
Brought you the glories
Across the dreaded sea
Far from the distance
Black Sail's existence
Will never set you free
Fearing no treason
The edge of reason
Closer with every wave
All countless treasure
Beyond the measure
Took you straight to the grave

Sailing to the dark horizon
Under the spell of endless times
Held a hostage by the waters -
The price to pay for all your crimes

Secrets unspoken,
Stories untold...

All fearful stories
Brought you the glories
Across the dreaded sea
Far from the distance
Black Sail's existence
Will never set you free
Fearing no treason
The edge of reason
Closer with every wave
All countless treasure
Beyond the measure
Took you straight to the grave


5. ICE QUEEN

The fairy-tales from long ago
Speak of this dreamlike paradise
The winter's cold and storms of snow -
Three lives the magic Queen of ice.

She has no mercy, feels no pain,
Cold beauty of the past
But charm and mystery remain -
The story that will last

You must come with me
There is so much to see -
Winter night's scene
Ruled by the Ice Queen

It always snowed before the storm
But only One has truly seen
The place that never would be warm -
The eyes of cold and proud Queen

And captured by her deadly charms
He looked into her eyes
Then as he fell into her arms
She whispered quiet lies...

You must come with me
There is so much to see -
Winter night's scene
Ruled by the Ice Queen


6. LIFE SAVING FLAME

Far into the sea
Among the waves of the storm
Stands the only hope
For those who want to come home

All through the night…

Keep shining your splendor
Life-saving flame
No resting, no changing
Always the same

When the storm is over
Seems the ocean gives in,
Kneeling down in worship
Of the power within

All through the night…

Keep shining your splendor
Life-saving flame
No resting, no changing
Always the same

Just as Prometheus stands by rock
Holding his fiery torch -
He fears nothing, nor heeds the shock
Keeping his careful watch

Keep shining your splendor
Life-saving flame
No resting, no changing
Always the same


7. NO. 3/23 IN A MINOR

(Instrumental)


8. MASK IN THE MIRROR

Breathing in the magic
Hide yourself and put on mask of disguise
Whispers in the darkness
And the moon that brightly shines from the skies

In you I see
Is this really me?
Reflect, reveal
Which one of us is real…

Masquerade disguise of any shape
Burning glances, breathing lies around
Hide yourself and loose in this parade
In this madness you will not be found…

Staring in the mirror
Do you see me, do you know who is there?
I'm the mask inside you -
It's the real one you think you never wear

In you I see
Is this really me?
Reflect, reveal
Which one of us is real…

Masquerade disguise of any shape
Burning glances, breathing lies around
Hide yourself and loose in this parade
In this madness you will not be found…


9. SECRETS OF THE PAST

Deep dark secrets of the past
Stories that have not been told
Come to life and light at last
Ancient mysteries unfold

Hear the whispers of the wind beyond horizon
Tell the stories of the pharaoh's land
Lift the veil of the centuries forgotten
Buried deep under the sand

Oh beware of the sacred songs
They will put spell on you
Take you far back where they belong
Back to time no one knew…

Searching for the treasures lost
Many come here on the quest
Statues, pyramids and tombs
Where the ghosts of Egypt rest

Hear the whispers of the wind beyond horizon
Tell the stories of the pharaoh's land
Lift the veil of the centuries forgotten
Buried deep under the sand

Oh beware of the sacred songs
They will put spell on you
Take you far back where they belong
Back to time no one knew…


10. THE STORM

(Instrumental)


11. THE CALLING

As the shadows melted day away
Darkness faded starry sky

Hideous creature of nature
One that was born out of hate
Night was his misery’s cover
Doom was his definite fate

Can you hear?
Calling
He is near —
Falling…

In the darkness of each lonely night,
Love for her — his only light!

He would give so much to change
So she could love him and see—
Under his monstrous face
Beauty that wants to be free

Can you hear?
Calling
He is near —
Falling…


12. LAST QUEST

In search of truth and freedom
Went into the fight
Defenders of the kingdom
Through the darkest night
All loyal knights who after
Enemies were sent
Prepared to fight for their king
Until the end

Through the dark lands led their way
Brave and faithful soldiers
All unknown - come what may
They kept marching on…

This is their story -
Freedom for their land
What a quest of glory
Fighting to the end!

The enemy was waiting
Hiding in the dark
But soldiers of the freedom
Had them on the mark
The horn of Tallest Tower
Rang clear in the night -
And so began the hour
Of the greatest fight

Through the dark lands fought their way
Brave and faithful soldiers
More unknown - come what may
They kept fighting on…

This is their story -
Freedom for their land
What a quest of glory,
Fighting to the end!

The fight was long and dreadful -
Soldiers wouldn't yield
Till sun gave light to bloodshed
On the battlefield
The enemy was scattered,
Gone into the past
As soldiers of the freedom
Won the fight at last

Fighting on without rest
Brave and faithful soldiers
They completed their quest
But did not come back…

This is their story -
Freedom for their land
What a quest of glory,
Fighting to the end!
