1. INQUISITION

(Instrumental)


2. BANISH FROM SANCTUARY

In deserts I was preaching The hand of god was with me
Baptised with water and I praised
The one who came behind me
To save us all with the holy ghost
A prophet of the fools I've been lost

I'm sure you're there wandering around
But do you care for me I'm alone
You talk of love not for me
In my dungeon cold I could think about
All the things you've said
But I can't understand your famous son

[Chorus:]
No no turning back
I'm banished from sanctuary
The darkness in me is filling me with pain
There's no way to turn back for eternity

In shadows I'm walking and caught in loneliness
Deliverance I wait for but how long?
Are you the one who should come show me the light in you
Or should we wait for someone? Another!

[Chorus]

No...

Your reich should come to this world
Your way smoothed by my blood, friend
My might will decrease but you'll get
High, yes so much higher be careful of the rats, friend
Cause they'll never sleep before they catch you, too

The blind can see the sun, cripples walk alone
The deaf can hear my words they believe just believe
They believe in me. Look! The signs are near
To perform my task to perform my way
To perform the way I walked
The way of the crucifix

I hear the hangman coming, I wait for execution

[Chorus]

No...


3. WELCOME TO DYING

Close to insanity
Beyond the realms I've been
At darkest places
I'm crying
"The dragon flies"

Something savage
Is yearning for me
I'm waiting afraid for the night
What will be
I've lost myself
A few days ago
It's touching my soul
And a vision of past dreams comes true

Welcome to dying
I don't let it out
Welcome to dying
Look to the mirror it shows what I am
Welcome to dying
This town must burn now
Welcome to dying
Can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me
The one who's been before

Many times I terrorized this town
Many times and here I start again
Now I'm stronger and so cold
Cold as ice
Returning is my destiny
Now I feel it's growing up in me
Now I feel it's burning deep in me
I'm not what I was before
Could I stop this dream
I'm a stranger to myself
And I cannot control

Welcome to dying
I don't let it out
Welcome to dying
Look to the mirror it shows what I am
Welcome to dying
Can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me
Welcome to dying
The dragon's breath I don't let it out

I'm a savage
It's too late for me
The other side's taking control and I know
There's one way I can walk alone
Or the dragon will fly
And a growing fear's all that I feel

Welcome to dying (x6)
Can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me

Spread my wings and fly away
I spread my wings and fly away
I spread my wings and fly away


4. TRAVELER IN TIME

The Morning Sun of Dune
The Morning Sun of Dune

The holy war's
Waiting for
The morning sun (x3)
The morning sun of Dune
There's no tomorrow
The apparation of this land and it's dream
Makes me feel I've seen it before
I can taste there's life
Everywhere you can find
In the desert of my life
I see it again and again

And again, again, again, again
Dark tales have brought the Dijahd
Like whispering echos in the wind
And I'm a million miles from home

[Chorus:]
Traveler in time
Knowing that there's no rhyme

The morning sun is near
First light of dawn is here
The morning sun is near again
The Fremen sing that
Their kingdom will come
And I'm the leading one
Battlefields on our crusade
Filled with Sardokaurs
Killing machines crying
In raising fear they're hiding
Where do we go now?
So where is the way?
When I'm a million miles from home

[Chorus]

The morning sun I feel
All pain and sorrow
The apparition of my words in these days
Makes me feel I've told them before
All my plans will come true
I'll control destiny
In the desert of my life
I've seen it again and again

By my dreams I must find the way
To stop the raging war
I've to choose now
I will leave
My body and see
And time will stand still
When I have to leave
My body and find
A way back to the world I love
When I'm a million miles from home

[Chorus]


5. VALHALLA

High in the sky where eagles fly
Morgray the dark enters the throne

Open wide the gate friend the king will come
Blow the horn and praise the highest lord
Who'll bring the dawn he's a new god in the palace of steel
Persuade the fate of everyone The chaos can begin let it in

So many centuries, so many gods
We were the prisoners of our own fantasy
But now we are marching against these gods
I'm the wizard, I'll change it all

[Chorus:]
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me (x2)

Magic is in me
I'm the last magic man
Never found what I was looking for
Now I found it but it's lost

The fortress burns
Broken my heart
I leave this world
All gods are gone

So many centuries, so many gods
We were the prisoners of our own fantasy
But then we had nothing to lead our life
No, no, we can't live without Gods

[Chorus]

Valhalla...


6. TOMMYKNOCKERS

She's opening her eyes
To find the thing
By a touch she's lost
It's waiting for her a long time
The kingdom's lost
Cause there's one nail missing
Playing with fire
Turn of the light
And she'll fall down
Playing with her life
But she can't leave it
There's one rhyme in her brain

Oh, last night and the night before
Tommyknockers, Tommyknockers
Knocked at your back door
Tommyknockers

The pain in my head
The cycle awakes
I'm on my way to Oz
I want to drink and she wants to dig
She's in trouble oh I know
There's something going wrong
Tommyknockers on their way
What's up in "Leighton street"?

Oh, last night and the night before
Tommyknockers, Tommyknockers
Knocked at your back door

I'm the hero, I'm back
With weapons and with magic spells
I'll seddle every task
An old, ill and drunken guy

The moon is full of blood
I've found her not, not far from home
I should better get away from here
She's on her way to be another one
Playing with fire
She can read my thoughts
It's too late
Playing with her life
Tommyknockers brought her trouble

The ship in the earth I touch
A vibration is filling me
And music is in my head
Nose is bleeding
And my fall down
Filled me with pain
You'll be like a Tommyknocker
I'll be like you
But there's something going wrong
I read it in your face

Oh, last night and the night before
Tommyknockers, Tommyknockers
Knocked at your back door
Tommyknockers knocked at your back door
Tommyknockers knocked at your back door

8. GUARDIAN OF THE BLIND

Extermination thunder the strange one is back again
Lost by our only power it's aura will grind us out forever
Fall into a dark dream that we got once
The part it's real you won't believe
We're watching our own agony many years ago
Seven little children stand against the ghost
Believing is the answer but you've lost before
Find back to your infancy it's time to die
I've been the herdsman you've been my sheep
I find taste on lampskin everything's allright
Killing for the thirst for small children sweat
I give them illusions to raise their fear
Hear the crying dying child it's music to my ears
Feel the sweetness of it's death everything's allright
But there's a new feeling I've never known
There must be a third one a mighty guardian

Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Now it feel the curse of heaven
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Now it feel the curse of the child

Dark is it's world.
And lonely we're reaching it again
Fear our returning visions to madness we'll fall
If we can't kill the beast forever
We must die now
One has blown his life away
Once we were a circle fighting hand in hand
Our weapons were illusions to let it feel the pain
By the sweet taste of our live it call us back again
We'll find the answer it's time to die
By a ritual we've hurt it but we've not kill
Little Billy you must find your way
Believe in you we ask for
But where we can never find
There must be a sign for the
Guardian of the Blind

Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Now it feel the curse of heaven
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Now it feel the curse
Come to it's world following the sign
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Give us the help we're waiting for your sign
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
