1. S.O.S.

I’m waiting for the rain now
To settle the dusty air
Clearing up my emotions
Facing it all if I dare

I’ve been thinking
I’ve been trying but I’ve always been denying
Wasted days are still inside of me
It’s time to set them free

Why don’t we see what is going on?
There are not so many years to be wasted
Until the damage is done and the beauty is gone

Save our souls
What is the price that we pay?
Save our souls
Do we have nothing to say?

Why don’t we see what is going on?
There are not so many years to be wasted
Until the damage is done and the beauty is gone

Why don’t we see what is going on?
There are not so many years to be wasted
Until the damage is done and the beauty is gone

Save our souls


2. MAROONED

I know from a lesser tribe
I suppose the range of my intelligence is way too wide

And you don’t see me
‘Cause I don’t have much to say

My emotional outlet is consuming the better part of me
And apart from the wrong words a tortured cry is making me see

That you don’t see me
‘Cause I don’t have much to say
You don’t see me
‘Cause I don’t have much to say

Hours and hours of jealousy are passing me by
Although hollow silence is the only wave going through your brain

You don’t see me
‘Cause I don’t have much to say

You don’t see me
‘Cause I don’t have much to say
You don’t see me
‘Cause I don’t have much to say
You don’t see me
‘Cause I don’t have much to say


3. SEND ME A SIGN

Out of the dark
He came without a warning
The guarding light I didn’t see...

On a story tellers night he spoke his words of wisdom
The tales he told from far beyond that no one understood

He had the gift of prophecy
He wove a web of mystery
A thousand lives shone gracious in his eyes

Send me a sign
For too long you kept me waiting
Send me a sign
From the eternal skies
Send me a sign
Send me a sign

He disappeared
In the early haze of morning
And with him left his prophecies they didn’t care...

All the years that passed away
He’s locked inside my head
His tales became reality
The prophecies he said

He was the chosen one to see
His words will burn eternally
It hurts, that no one understands

Send me a sign
For too long you kept me waiting
Send me a sign
From the eternal skies
Send me a sign
Send me a sign

He had the gift of prophecy
He gave a guarding light to me
I know, he set my spirit free

Send me a sign
Send me a sign
Send me a sign
For too long you kept me waiting
Send me a sign
To open their eyes
Send me a sign
Send me a sign
Send me a sign
Send me a sign


4. VAIN GLORY OPERA

The prayers have been spoken
May the gods be on my side?
May they join my way to bring me victory?

Seven at one stroke
My triumph and my pride will be history

But behind my enemies eyes
A soul in disguise
Not only lies

We live to fight the hand of doom
We got the pride to strike a fool
Vain glory be my wicked guide

We live to fight the hand of doom
We got the pride to strike a fool
Vain glory be my wicked guide

What’s hell without a paradise?
What’s the night without a day?
We would think it’s bright

What’s a fall if we can’t rise?
What’s a hero at a play without a fool to fight?

But behind my enemies eyes
A soul in disguise
Not only lies

We live to fight the hand of doom
We got the pride to strike a fool
Vain glory be my wicked guide

We live to fight the hand of doom
We got the pride to strike a fool
Vain glory be my wicked guide

But behind my enemies eyes
A soul in disguise
Not only lies!

We live to fight the hand of doom
We got the pride to strike a fool
Vain glory be my wicked guide

We live to fight the hand of doom
We got the pride to strike a fool
Vain glory be my wicked guide


5. YOU KILL ME

In my brain it’s understood
You killed my soul like I knew you would

You hit me with your velvet touch
My sacrifice was all too much

Why did you have to walk away?
On sacred ground yesterday

Fill my pride
You don’t wanna know
Still inside
Every time you go
You kill me

Every time you go
You kill me

You took the breath right out of me
And now I find that I can’t see

The shallow water is my grave
Now what I lost is what I crave

Fill my pride
You don’t wanna know
Still inside
Every time you go
You kill me

Every time you go
You kill me

Now I can feel the ghost within
Don’t put the curse on me again
Don’t leave me in this golden cage
Until I live the final page

Fill my pride
You don’t wanna know
Still inside
You kill me

Fill my pride
You don’t wanna know
Still inside
You kill me

You kill me
Every time you go
You kill me
You kill me!


6. TEARING DOWN THE WORLD

Every empire was raised by the slave
Built through the ages, destroyed in a day

Solid walls your golden cage
Now it’s time to turn the page

Tearin’ down
We’re gonna burn it
To the ground
You’ll never learn it
Watch us now
We’re tearin’ down the world

Brother to brother, father to son
No one recalls when the madness began and nobody cares!

Can you live your life in hell?
Can’t you hear the warning bell?

Tearin’ down
We’re gonna burn it
To the ground
You’ll never learn it
Watch us now
We’re tearin’ down the world

Tearin’ down
By bits and pieces
To the ground
We’ll never miss it
Watch us now
We’re tearin’ down the world
Tearin’ down the world

Water’s like acid and heaven’s like hell
Whole world’s like paper and steel
What should we do if it won’t ring a bell?
Tell me just what do you feel?

Drink out the ocean and stare down the star
Burn down the forest and steal food from the hungry
You made it so far
Tell me just what do you feel?

Tearin’ down
We’re gonna burn it
To the ground
You’ll never learn it
Watch us now
We’re tearin’ down the world

Tearin’ down
By bits and pieces
To the ground
We’ll never miss it
Watch us now
We’re tearin’ down the world


7. PASSION AND THE OPERA

Princess of lust
Dignity put to dust
A virginal sight
Their apple to bite

Drink from my thighs
The rain of lies
A sight so cursed
Breasts which never nursed

An Aphrodite for mortal souls
Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles
Their erotic hour my tearless weep
Their satisfaction my infinite sleep

Naked limbs reflecting from the moon
I’ll be there for you soon
First wish for this night:
Let me be your delight

Body of a virgin
Soul to the Devil’s kin
Your God is me
In all that you see

An Aphrodite for mortal souls
Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles
Their erotic hour my tearless weep
Their satisfaction my infinite sleep


8. NIGHTFALL IN MIDDLE EARTH

No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried
“All hope’s lost, it can’t be undone
They’re wasted and gone”

“Save me your speeches I know (They blinded us all)
What you want you will take it away from me
Take it and I know for sure
The light she once brought in is gone forevermore”

Like sorrowful seagulls they sang
“(We’re) lost in the deep shades
The misty cloud brought
(A wailing when beauty was gone
Come take a look at the sky)
Monstrous it covered the shore
Fearful into the unknown”

Quietly it crept in new horror
Insanity reigned
And spilled the first blood
When the old king was slain

Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

“How long shall we mourn in the dark
The bliss and the beauty will not return
Say farewell to sadness and grief
Though long and hard the road may be”

But even in silence I heard the words
“An oath we shall swear by the name of the one
Until the world’s end
It can’t be broken"

Just wondering how
I can still hear these voices inside

The doom of the Noldor drew near

The words of a banished king
“I swear revenge!
Filled with anger aflamed our hearts
Full of hate, full of pride
We screamed for revenge

Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

“Vala, he is that’s what you said
Then your oath’s been sworn in vain
(But) freely you came and
You freely shall depart
(So) never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends”

“Oh I’m heir of the high lord!”
“You better don’t trust him”
The enemy of mine isn’t he of your kind
And finally you may follow me

Farewell he said

Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

Back to where it all began
Back to where it all began


9. RUDE AWAKENING

You know I tried to trust you
You know I really tried
But when I turn my back on you, baby
In goes the knife

You think you got them blinded
Claiming all you find is yours
Greedy two faced nothing
Who do you think you are?

You know there’s
Gonna be a big rude awakening
You’re a phony disgrace
They’ll soon be on to you, darling
You better find a new space

You cheated and lied this evening
Had you planned on leaving? Be gone!
Your money won’t buy you happiness, woman
Free to steal, so long

You think you’ve got them blinded
Claiming all you find is yours
Think you would have learned by now
Who do you think that you are?

Gonna be another rude awakening
You’re a phony and a disgrace
They’ll soon be on to you, darling
You better find a new space

You know I tried to trust you
You know I really tried
But when I turn my back on you, baby
In goes the knife

You think you got them blinded
Claiming all you find is yours
Greedy two faced nothing
Who do you think you are?

Gonna be another rude awakening
You’re a phony and a disgrace
They’ll soon be on to you, darling
You better find a new space


10. EMERALD SWORD

I crossed the valleys the dust of midlands
To search for the third key to open the gates
Now I’m near the altar, the secret inside
As legend told, my beloved son
Light the Dragon’s eyes

On the way to the glory I’ll honor my sword
To serve right ideals and justice for all

Finally happened the sun lit their eyes
The spell was creating strange games of light
Thanks to hidden mirrors I found my lost way
Over the stones I reached the place
It was a secret cave

In a long bloody battle that prophecies told
The light will prevail hence wisdom is gold

For the King, for the land, for the mountains
For the green valleys where dragons fly
For the glory, the power to win the Black Lord
I will search for the Emerald Sword

Only a warrior with a clear heart
Could have the honor to be kissed by the sun
Yes, I’m that warrior, I followed my way
Led by the force of cosmic soul
I can reach the sword

On the way to the glory I’ll honor my sword
To serve right ideals and justice for all

For the King, for the land, for the mountains
For the green valleys where dragons fly
For the glory, the power to win the Black Lord
I will search for the Emerald Sword

For the King, for the land, for the mountains
For the green valleys where dragons fly
For the glory, the power to win the Black Lord
I will search for the Emerald Sword


11. FOREST SONG

I come from the Northern woods
I dwell in the snow
I found all my answers long ago

The winter the enemy and summer is cold
The gods in the sky are growing old

The sky is my only roof
The forest my friend
The river is in my blood
I stay to the end

The sky is my only roof
The forest my friend
The river is in my blood
I stay to the end
To the end

The forest is wet and cold
The forest is dark
Say have I the will to leave my mark

I ask to the Northern Star
It’s up in the sky
I wanted to know I before I die

The sky is my only roof
The forest my friend
The river is in my blood
I stay to the end

The sky is my only roof
The forest my friend
The river is in my blood
I stay to the end
To the end

The sky is my only roof
The forest my friend
The river is in my blood
I stay to the end

The sky is my only roof
The forest my friend
The river is in my blood
I stay to the end

I stay to the end


12. SPANISH NIGHTS (I REMEMBER IT WELL)

Silent she rose from the cold desert sands
Painted in shadows
A dark caravan

Quiet as a whisper with moves like a cat
She ruled like a storm cloud
Her eyes glowing black

Oh, and they cried, Malguena
Wait for me, Malaguena
I remember it well
Oh, and they cry, Malaguena
Wait for me, Malaguena
I remember it
I remember it well
Oh, too well...

And so they rode on the wings of a song
Spinning in silence
The world was their own

Two lovers locked in the arms of the dance
Freedom begins with the game of the chance

Oh, and they cried, Malguena
Wait for me, Malaguena
I remember it well
Oh, and they cry, Malaguena
Wait for me, Malaguena
I remember it
I remember it well
Oh, too well...

And now they rise like a wave on the seas
Lost in a rhythm and ever they’ll be

Oh, and they cried, Malguena
Wait for me, Malaguena
I remember it well
Oh, and they cry, Malaguena
Wait for me, Malaguena
I remember it
I remember it well
Oh, too well...


13. LISBON

Every night I say a prayer
Look at me, nobody cares
Just a mirror, passing by
Looked inside, I’ve lost my pride

Stay with me not for so long
It’s alright, no needs, no hope
Such a miracle, looking back
Times gone by and life wasn’t bad

Lord, light my way
Fill these withered, careless hands

Oh, skies are falling down
Skies are falling down
Oh, skies are falling down
Skied are falling down

See, the birds are back
At the docks and everywhere
Here in Lisbon, realized
This whole world so strange and divine

Lord, light my way
Fill these withered, careless hands

Oh, skies are falling down
Skies are falling down
Oh, skies are falling down
Skied are falling down

Oh, skies are falling down
Skies are falling down
Oh, skies are falling down
Skied are falling down
