1. THE WARNING

Looking through the keyhole

As you hear the thunder roar

You see the lightening flashing

But you know not what it's for

There looks to be a stallion

With a rider on it's back

You have seen him pass

And know that he'll be back

He looks to be a wizard

Or perhaps a magic man

With eyes of liquid fire

Golden staff within his hand

And he rides above the mountains

With the secret that he holds

The time has come, the people must be told



So shall it be written

So shall it be done

Came the warning from the prophet

And it came to pass before the rising sun



He looked upon the thousands

That had come to hear him speak

He warned them of the darkness

Of their evil and their greed

But somehow they ignored him

Though their faces filled with fear
So he turned away and shed a single tear



So shall it be written

So shall it be done

Came the warning from the prophet

And it came to pass before the rising sun
So shall it be written

So shall it be done

Came the warning from the prophet

And it came to pass before the rising sun


2. TAKE YOUR LOVE AWAY

I never know the reasons why

When all is said and done

Give me the answers and show me the way

But you know I'm not the one



When I look into your eyes

You say you're holding on

But when I turn around I find your love is gone

Gone away

Take your love away

Take your love away



Summer breeze and the autumn winds

You know they bring the rainy days

I never know the reason why

You take your love away



When I look into your eyes

You say you're holding on

But when I turn around

I find your love is gone

Gone away

Take your love away

Take your love away



Now we dream of all the changes

and the changes dreams can bring

But all you want in your fantasy

Is a little wedding ring


When I look into your eyes

You say you're holding on

But when I turn around

I find your love is gone

Gone away

Take your love away

Take your love away



When I look into your eyes

You say you're holding on

But when I turn around

I find your love is gone

Gone away

Take your love away

Take your love away

4. VENGEANCE

Morning brings the sunrise
To the mountain of the Dane
In the over lying distance
The dealer deals the pain
In the land of forgotten lifetimes
An angel guards the time
Memories won't fail me
And vengeance will be mine

I move slowly through the darkness
Lookin' for the light

In a vision I was taken
By the wizard's deadly game
Reaching for the boundries
Held here by the chains
Vanguard of the darkness
Black Riders in the night
Shadows now surround me
A victim of their flight

I move slowly through the darkness
Looking for the light

As the moonlight over takes me
I walk on through the night
Vengeance still evades me
As the Dark Lord holds the Nine
Time now passing quickly
Dark victory is near
A hero's badly needed
With courage free of fear

He moves slowly through the darkness
Looking for the light


5. MADMAN

They gave you the rule
By which you must play
They watch over you
Both night and day
Your life is controlled
Your freedom's a joke
They can tighten the harness
They can put on the yoke
But you had your time
Oh they gave you your say
They didn't buy your story
So they threw you away
The judge and the jury
Oh, now they wished you well
Then gave you your sentence
To ten years in hell

[Chorus]
So madman run from the screams in the darkness
Madman run from the fear in the night
Madman run from the power of the lawman
Take another look at you life
Oh you're just a madman

Deep in your prison
all alone in your cell
Your mind is distracted
Oh, you're not doing well
And those damn fool people
Who wouldn't leave you alone
Till they'd stolen your life away
Left you all alone

[Repeat chorus:]

Oh, your just a madman
Hey, just a madman
Oh just a mad man
Oh just a madman

Oh just a madman


6. HARD FIGHT

Do you feel waves come crashing in
As they reach out to the shore
Does it call to you in the dead of night
Or is it even something more
Do you see yourself in a lonely place
As your running out of time
Don't know where to go
Don't know what to do
Wondering if your losing your mind

[Chorus:]
I feel a Hard fight has begun
No more living on the run
I feel a Hard fight has begun
I know it's been done
Yes a Hard fight has begun

Do you think about all those yesterdays
All the good and bad gone by
Has the time been spent
Will it ever change
Do you ever wonder why
Can you see the truth through the foggy haze
And can you tell it from the lies
Do you think your right
When you know your wrong
Can you see it in my eyes

Chorus:
I feel a Hard fight has begun
No more living on the run
I feel a Hard fight has begun
I know it's been done
Yes, a Hard fight has begun


7. NO MOURNING

(Instrumental)


8. MYSTERY MAN

Something is calling me
I hear it calling me

Leading me far away

A journey of many days

On a stormy sea
Through eternity

To the magic land

Mystery mystery man

Show me your crystal ball

Make sure I can see it all

I'm so easily confused

So won't you hold it near

So I can see it clear

Turn to the judgement day

And the words on the final page



You never know where they will lead you

You never know when they may call

He said don't let no fool supercede you

Cause fools they don't know nothin' at all



He said run--run when I tell you

Don't you place your bet on that losing wheel

I placed that bet before you

Oh I know just how you feel



He told me to come closer

Gaze into his crystal ball

I saw the world through different colors

The mystery man revealed it all



He said run--run when I tell you

Don't you place your bet on that losing wheel

I placed that bet before you

Oh I know just how you feel



His vision made me wonder

In darkness he brought me light

He spoke of fortunes squandered

Of lovely sirens in the night



He said run--run when I tell you

Don't you place your bet on that losing wheel

I placed that bet before you

Oh I know just how you feel



I left him as I found him

An ageless victim of his time

With a knowledge of what surrounds him

And this warning in his rhyme



He said run--run when I tell you

Don't you place your bet on that losing wheel

I placed that bet before you

Oh I know just how you feel

He said run--run when I tell you

Don't you place your bet on that losing wheel

I placed that bet before you
Oh I know just how you feel


9. ENDLESS SKIES

He walked a road that grew so long
And as he walked he sang a song
A song that made him stop and quietly wonder
He thinks of times long since gone by
Of all the things that made him cry
Of all the things that made him long to wander

The day grew dim and quickly failed
Reflecting shades of yellow pale
A time that made him stop and quietly wonder
Valleys stained with wars gone still
The rich man lives upon his hill
Troubled times that made him long to wander

We will take the everlasting glory
Have our children tell our story
As we weave our thoughts upon the sky

Night awaits for daybreak
The day seems so long
You've learned the ways of heartache
And how to be strong
The world as you knew it
Came cascading down
No hope left inside you
You're pushed to the ground
All that stood round you
Lies down at your feet
The feeling inside you runs cold and deep

Endless skies won't you wash away forever
All the pain that lies together in us all
Endless skies always there but never watching
Just reflections off the water to my eyes

Endless skies when will you let me down easy
Never knowing what is right and what's wrong
Never realized the answers you've given
Have been waiting for us all along
