Compilations : Power of Metal
Lyrics
1. ATLANTIS FALLING
A flash of destruction like a blaze cut through the night
The heavens on fire they were glowing in unholy light
Your sudden assault broke all the dreams of unification
The hunger for power it’s the lash of civilization
Despaired and in pain
All seems so in vain
Fires in the sky
Defenseless we stand
Tonight we will die
Shadows of the end
The Kingdom will fall
Life it will finally descend
Perceive what you’ve done and repent!
Careless we thought all you do is to bark at the moon
But in the grip of fury you have conjured the dawning of doom
Is this our fate?
Wiped out by your hate
Fires in the sky
Defenseless we stand
Tonight we will die
Shadows of the end
The Empire will fall
Life it will finally descend
Goddess of the seas
Let us rest in peace
In her cold embrace
We will find our graves
Silence will set in
Will existence begin again?
Fires in the sky
Helpless we stand
Defenseless we’ll die
Shadows of the end
The Kingdom will fall
Life will descend
Fires in the sky
Helpless we stand
Defenseless we’ll die
Shadows of the end
Atlantis will fall
Life it will finally descend
Descend forever more
2. SHADOW DANCER
The day the war was over, so the story goes
You could hear the church bells ring, hear the laughter
But with hope and glory, lingers memories
In the dark a girl would dance with her shadows
First she lose her father in the burning debris
Sorrow took her mother so easily
So she was brought up in a house of strangers
Many years went by so her torment grew
A place where children mustn’t cry
Not a soul to talk too
She created her friends through a roomlit view
Hand in hand but never shy
The silent few
Locked in a room
The walls were closing in
It shocked her system from within
So she lies staring at the images inside
Shadow dancer in the dark
It’s OK to shed a tear
Remember time to forget
Shadow dancer in the dark
Let the shadows disappear
Shed a tear now and time will do the rest
Shadow dancer in the dark
It’s OK to shed a tear
Remember time to forget
Shadow dancer in the dark
Let the shadows disappear
Shed a tear now and time will do the rest
Shadow dancer
Shadow dancer
Shadow dancer
Shadow dancer
3. VALLEY OF THE KINGS
Father can you hear me?
Did you talk to Mother Earth?
What did they say?
What did they see?
Now is it time for your rebirth?
Open up the silent center of your mind
I now want to know the future of your kind
In the Valley of the Kings
When the storm breaks loose again
When the gods return to fight
For the future in their lives
In the Valley of the Kings!
In the Valley of the Kings!
In the Valley of the Kings!
In the Valley of the Kings!
Oh Mother, do you hear me?
Did you talk to father moon?
I don’t want to leave my brothers
In this temple of their doom
Open up the silent center of your mind
I now want to know the future of your kind
In the Valley of the Kings
When the storms break loose again
Then the gods will spread their wings
In the Valley of the Kings
In the Valley of the Kings!
In the Valley of the Kings!
In the Valley of the Kings!
Ra vvite, deus sanktus, ra vite
Ra vite, revertate, ra vite
Oh, Mother Earth
Do you believe there is a place for us to go?
Come set us free again
And let us fly away and give us hope
There’ll be a time for us to fly
To our thrones up in the sky
In the Valley of the Kings
When the storm breaks loose again
Then the gods will spread their wings
In the Valley of the Kings
Valley of the Kings
When the storm breaks loose again
Then the gods will spread their wings
In the Valley of the Kings
In the Valley of the Kings
In the Valley of the Kings!
4. ANGEL
It’s only me, my friend
Your private Lucifer
An angel heaven sent
Down to your deepest fears
Walk with me
Talk to me again
In your sleep
When you’re weak astray
I feel you right inside me
(Nothing can be right if there is no wrong)
All around me
(Innocent replies from a twisted tongue)
I am the golden calf
Providing hate and greed
I am the other half
Maintaining harmony
Silently, violently
But pure in your sleep
When you’re insecure
I feel you right inside me
(Love cannot be real if you cannot hate)
All around me
(Pain is only pleasure in a different shape)
I feel you right inside me
(How can there be heaven if there is no hell?)
All around me
(Nothing can remain if it’s all too well)
I feel you right inside me
(Beauty has no meaning if without the beast)
All around me
(There’s no way to freedom till your mind’s released)
5. THE KISS OF JUDAS
I hear footsteps closing in
I recognize them from my early days
The times are different
The image remains the same
Repeating back flashes
Remembering the name
Approaching visions of things I can’t recall
A familiar smile awakes the pain
Unkept promises
The night awaits
The act of confidence
The Kiss of Judas
I feel the lips on my cheek
The Kiss of Judas
Hold me once again
In your private chamber, you’re all alone
The well earned silver pieces falling to the floor
The flame of the candle casting movement to the wall
Your eyes filled with guilt keeps staring at the door
Approaching visions of things I can’t recall
A familiar smile awakes the pain
Unkept promises
The night awaits
The act of confidence
The Kiss of Judas
I feel the lips on my cheek
The Kiss of Judas
Hold me once again
Unkept promises
The night awaits
The act of confidence
The Kiss of Judas
I feel the lips on my cheek
The Kiss of Judas
Hold me once again
6. RISE AGAIN
Heat from the ground feeds the fire
My desire to live with this rage
With thoughts of you filling my nights
And my days...
Sounds of the speaking of tongues
Visions of circles undone
Keeps this heart of mine beating
For the time of our meeting will come
Now, I turn to the gods
Whichever will listen
From below or above
Hear my cry
Feel my pain
If I should fall
I’ll start over again
Hear my cry
Feel my pain
If I should die
I will rise again
I scream to the sky full of anger
My body increasingly weaker
I won’t die for you
I won’t die for you
Heaven is a heartbeat away
Hear my cry
Feel my pain
If I should fall
I’ll start over again
Hear my cry
Feel my pain
If I should die
I will rise again
7. OBSESSIONS
We’ve lost our way
And now the world slips away
And shadows fall all around
Do you see the sun it burns for me?
Do you know I’ll never let you go?
Feel the night, it burns, it yearns, it writhes
Hear the screams as secrets come alive
You are mine, I possess your flesh unkind
A union of power, your love I will devour
Your hunger gnaws, it grips you in its claws
Like a raving dog you howl and whine for more
Ride the wind tonight
See the angels fall
Ride the wind tonight
See the angels fall
It burns for you
It burns for you
It burns for you
Do you see the skies are here for me?
Do you know from whence this hunger grows?
Look in my eyes you’ll feel the fever rise
Dance on a knife, I might just take your life!
Ride the wind tonight
See the angels fall
Ride the wind tonight
See the angels fall
It burns for you
It burns for you
It burns for you
Do you hear the shouting in your ear?
Do you know ignorance does grow?
When love turns to hate it’s such an evil fate
Don’t you wait, go the hours late
Ride the wind tonight
See the angels fall
Ride the wind tonight
See the angels fall
It burns for you
It burns for you
It burns for you
It burns for you
It burns for you
It burns for you!
8. AGAINST THE FEARS
Another return will bring another situation
Another true lie will never tell you what you are
Then something will tell you to forget all you agressions
Your destiny’ll show you to deny or how to cry
Fear is despair, is a sign in your eyes
Tears are the same but they come through the lies
Don’t be afraid, pay them only the price
No one will hear your last words in the night
Free the sunlight
See it clear
Free the sunrise
Kill the fears
Wherever you search you will find dissolution
Whenever you sleep a nightmare takes you in its arms
They gave you a word, they know they call it revolution
This meaning you lost again to find it it’s too hard
Fear is despair, is a sign in your eyes
Tears are the same but they come through the lies
Don’t be afraid, pay them only the price
No one will hear your last words in the night
Free the sunlight
See it clear
Free the sunrise
Kill the fears
Now! Yes!
Flames are falling
I’ll pray for my soul and the true salvation
I know a decision is the sign of time
No! No!
They can’t hold me
I’ll chase all the fears away now
Won’t you hide?
Free the sunlight
See it clear
Free the sunrise
Kill the fears
Free the sunlight
See it clear
Free the sunrise
Kill the fears
9. UNDER JOLLY ROGER
Weigh anchor, hoist the sails
Cruising for booty on watery trails
No exploiter we see can still sail on
Our cannons fire till his ship goes down
Fly our flag
We teach them fear
Capture them
The end is near
Firing guns
They shall burn
Surrender or fight
There’s no return
Under Jolly Roger
Under Jolly Roger
Venerable scoundrels, no blood on our hands
Our engagements are tough, but only for defense
Carefully we sail around the reefs
To force those die-hards to their knees
Fly our flag
We teach them fear
Capture them
The end is near
Firing guns
They shall burn
Surrender or fight
There’s no return
Under Jolly Roger
Under Jolly Roger
C’mon!
Coming through the waves to free all the captives
Boarding the vessels we know all the tactics
We’re the menace, the curse of the sea
We pulverize the men’o’war, pay or flee
Fly our flag
We teach them fear
Capture them
The end is near
Firing guns
They shall burn
Surrender or fight
There’s no return
Under Jolly Roger
Under Jolly Roger
Under Jolly Roger
Under Jolly Roger
Ready for boarding!

12. GREED MACHINE
From the cradle to the cold grave
We just grow to be its slaves
We pray for more
Just more and more
All the money that we earn
Everything we ever learn is caused by greed
The machine was built at the beginning of time
Its creation plan was at devil’s hand
We live in a dream
What we do is clean
And the payment is fine
Greed machine
Guides us through this dream
With a silent stream of pain
We obey and we feed
The greed machine
Low emotions in us call
Greed machine has bought our souls
It’s in our heads
We are hypnotized
Emotional sterilized
Golden houses, sex and power
Is what we need till our last hour
The machine feeds our heads
It keeps us moving on
We destroy each other for a better job
We live in a dream
What we do is clean
And the payment is fine
Greed machine
Guides us through this dream
On a silent stream of pain
We obey and believe
In the greed machine
When we get old, we’ve thrown away
It doesn’t matter anyway ‘cause we’ll be reproduced
The machine was built at the beginning of time
Its creation plan was at devil’s hand
We live in a dream
What we do is clean
And the payment is fine
Greed machine
Guides us through this dream
On a silent stream of pain
We obey and believe
In the greed machine
13. DON’T FEAR THE WINTER
Autumn
The time of darkness and decay
Life’s running shorter day by day
Winter has gripped the land in cold caress
He’s all alone and deeply depressed
She’s dead
Don’t you fear the winter
I will keep you safe and warm
Don’t you fear the winter
Nothing’s gonna do you harm
Midnight and on the graveyard a storm is raging
The clods of earth hide his whole life
Homeless, who’s lonely now will be for long
The wind will drift him on and on, like the leaves
Don’t you fear the winter
I will keep you safe and warm
Don’t you fear the winter
Come with me, there’ll be no harm
A silent might that has moved you
Hear your waters stand still
Striding down to the elder
Soon you’ll meet her again
Autumn
Who’s got the time knows nothing yet?
Who cares? But watchful are the dead
Midnight
It’s hard to face and deeply sad
But you’re asleep so don’t look back
You’re dead
Don’t you fear the winter
I will keep you safe and warm
Don’t you fear the winter
nothing’s gonna do you harm
Don’t you fear the winter
I will keep you safe and warm
Don’t you fear the winter
Come with me, there’ll be no harm
14. MINUTE MAN
Look in the glass at the universal ice
Through it I pass at the speed of light
I walk the decades ten at a step
Or make the moment freeze in my grip
I breathe the centuries, I bend your destinies
I bind reality, I am galactic energy
I sing the song of Saturn’s rings
I tight walk on cosmic strings
I wrote the music Venus sings
I handed Mercury his wings
I am the reason, seasons turn
And why the lakes in hell still burn
I am forever
I am the minute man
I build the empires
I appoint the lords
I set the standards
I swing the swords
I paint the shadows behind the doors
I chose the heroes, I pay the whores
I bare within my mind treasures you’ll never find
I govern space and time
I watch the world through ancient eyes
I sing the song of Saturn’s rings
I tight walk on cosmic strings
I wrote the music Venus signs
I handed Mercury his wings
I am the reason, seasons turn
And why the lakes in hell still burn
I am forever
I am the minute man
I am the minute man
I am the minute man
