1. THE SENTINEL

(Instrumental)


2. CELTICA

Answers you seek lie within your soul
Deep are the valleys that you have to walk
Hard is the task that you must fulfil
To Celtica we go
To try to find the answer
This is our enigma
The holy path we follow on and on

Land of our dreams is Celtica
The place where we go when we’ve lived
All our lives just waiting for
The land of our fathers then fly
On the wings of Celtica
When our time has come we shall live
All our days in Celtica

Walk in the dark, walk in the light
Resting place beckons it’s almost in sight
Know where it is, just gotta find it
Then harmony we’ll know
I feel alive when I dream of you
In the afterworld will I see you
Guardian of Celtica I’m home


3. AFTERWORLD

This time I see the light
The afterworld becoming clear
I enter another time
The end of my life is drawing near

Souls of a thousand sons have come this way
Nowhere to lay their heads I’m here
I’m here to stay

I’m in the afterworld to stay
My life is over
I feel no hurt I feel no pain
Afterworld’s my home

I’ve reached my resting place
I’m looking at life that’s come and gone
So quickly, yet without haste
Don’t cry for me I’m not alone

Souls of a thousand sons have come this way
Nowhere to lay their heads I’m here
I’m here to stay

So when you see the light
You’ll know the afterworld is here
Don’t be afraid, don’t close your eyes
I’ll be waiting here
We’ll be together for eternity
All of our troubles will disappear
Our garden of Eden


4. FOR EVERMORE

Sands of time run out for everyone
And loneliness takes time to pass
But I will wait for you
And I’ll be here for…

Evermore
I’ll be here for evermore
Evermore
I’ll be here for evermore

I’ll be watching you from high above
And comfort you when times are bad
I’ll never let you go
You be with me for…

Evermore
I’ll be here for evermore
Evermore

You will find your way
You’ll be with me for…

Evermore
I’ll be here for evermore
Evermore
I’ll be here for evermore

Evermore
I’ll be here for evermore
Evermore
I’ll be here for evermore

My face you’ll see again
You’ll never be alone
Then tears of joy we’ll shed
You’ll never be alone


5. KING OF THIEVES

Running man, what you see
Can’t stop now I’m a king of thieves
Fear me not, walk away
Hurt you not I’ll be on my way

And I’ll always be the same

Running wild every night
Hide away keeping out of sight
Working man suits me not
Got to steal never had a lot

I just want to be left on my own
It’s alright to be alone

On the run in the night
I’m the king of thieves and I’ll always be
On the run for my life
I’m the king of thieves for the rest of my life

Look around, what you see
Nothing here that belongs to me
All I have is my pride
But I love this old way of life
I just want to be left on my own
It’s alright to be alone
I’m the king of thieves who will always be

But it makes no difference
Which way I go
I’ll make my resistance
I just want to be alone


6. ABSENT FRIENDS

Your words deceive
The ones who stay by your side my friend
Your empathy is lost
The promises you made to break our trust

One man’s ignorance
Is another man’s strength
Take this lesson in life
Hear my message to you

Absent friends
A shadow whenever you’re wanted
Absent friends
You’re never around when you’re needed
I don’t need those kind of friends

The damage you have caused
An honest life would never come to this
Lies that follow lies
Do you know that I can see right through you?

No more chances
No one has to fight no more
Now it’s your time
Give yourself a break and walk away


7. ERINMOR

I feel the pressure that is resting on my brow
No time to wonder why I’m lost among the crowd
I know the secrets that are hid behind the stones
But then you know some stones are better left unturned
I’m not as strong a man as once I used to be
But those philosophies my father taught to me
Are making sense, I never thought I’d see the day
That I would listen to a single word he’d say

The pen is stronger than the sword some people say
And those who run they live to fight another day

Erinmor I can feel from a land across the sea
Now my hearts beating fast as I’m nearer the green
Of the land I called home and of my own family
Evermore in my heart Erinmor you were more than just a Dream

But now I realise how wise my father was
In what he said and what he wanted to be done
I’m taking two men and I’m turning into one
One of the guardians he hoped I would become


8. DANCE ON YER GRAVE

I’ve gotta try to make the best of things
Now that you’ve run and gone
You went and messed around with destiny
And really done me wrong

Don’t feel so strong, you’re not beside me now
I’m feeling all alone
And now the thoughts of what you’ve done to me
They rip me through the bone

Shame on me, oh what a fool I’ve been
Shame on you, for thinking I was gone
Shame on me, I’m going to rock your world
I’m going to open your eyes to pain

I’m going to dance on yer grave
You’re gonna feel it too
‘Cos when I dance on your grave
Man I’ll be lovin’ it too

You know I’m going to have the final word
Because you done me wrong
And now I’m better than I ever was
I’m never down for long

You were the thorn that stuck within my side
You’re taken out for good
‘Cos now I’m stronger and I feel refined
I hope that it’s understood


9. FORGIVE ME

We’ll meet again my friend
The world is so small I said
Tomorrow’s just hours away
But fate has dealt this hand to play

I’ve realised that time has passed me by
Now all I’ve got is a faded memory etched into my mind

Guardian wipe my tears away
There’s no more fight another day
I’m sorry but it’s got to be this way
Forgive me, forgive me

My life flashes across the sky
I’ll never know the reason why
I never got a chance to say goodbye
Forgive me, forgive me

Sun sets upon my life
The distance goes further by
So many I haven’t seen
Or never will, as fate has sealed


10. GUARDIAN OF ETERNITY

Times made some changes, rearranged my world
I guess now I’m older, and nearer my afterworld
It won’t be long till I’m up on my way
I hear the guardian he’s calling my name

Look like it’s gonna rain, and wash me to evermore
I’m happy but sad to leave, it’s breaking my heart to go
Happiness beckons but so far away
Cherish our memories don’t lock them away

My eyes they grow weary, my heart beats oh so slow
The guardian appears to me, he opens his arms
That look on his face it says it all
“Welcome my brother to evermore”

Into my sons flow the blood from my veins
My sword I bequeath to you fear not the pain
Fear not the hellion who laughs at us all
Don’t shy from the enemy, answer the call
Guardian oh guardian please answer my call
(Let my heart fly)
Lead me on this way to my evermore
(show no darkness)
Light my way, from the holy path don’t let me stray
Hear me pray, in the shadows let me not decay
Grant me this one wish before I must die
(Grant me one wish)
Carry my legacy beyond this life
(Listen to me)

Take a look at your destiny
Raise your eyes to the gods

As I walk with the guardian of eternity
Side by side with me and in him you shall believe
When he shines his light on the soul of every warrior
In the night you’ll see your eternal destiny
When he smiles
