1. Illusion Of Life

[intro]

You see the shadows closing in
I know the fall has just begun
Nowhere to hide you can't get out
You were trapped inside your lonely life...

[Verse 1]
Empty inside almost insane
Feel so lonely you're stuck to bare the pain
Only you can take control
Watch out before the hangman takes your soul

Don't hide there nowhere to run
No escaping from all the things you've done
It's time to face reality
There is no chance for you to feel...

[Bridge]
Falling, loosing your ground
And times running out but still you're blind

[Chorus]
You're down and out, you're lost in paradise
You're just a fool, a fraud filled with lies
You're in a land where shadows watching you
That land is only an illusion of life!

[Verse 2]
Watch out darkness will come on your way
Decide if you ever want to change
You're the one with the golden key
To the future and to your destiny

You need to find out who you are
Take my advice or else you wound get far
Stop pretending that you're the man
Guilty of charge it's time to take your stand

[Bridge]
Falling loosing your ground
And times running out but still you're blind

[Chorus]

[Stick]
You see the shadows closing in
I know the fall has just begun
Nowhere to hide you can't get out
You were trapped inside your lonely life!

[Chorus x2]


2. The Orb

[Verse 1]
Be deceived, its powers hidden
Darkness lurks, invisibility
Fear the deed of Carwan's hands-
A mythic treachery
Fireborn, to rule them all
An orb of might, hunger insatiable
Evil craft
A deadly tool, to seal the blasphemy
You will see

[Bridge]
And then the lands will fall as one
And if the light subdues defenders hope is gone

[Chorus]
Ancor, veiled in vengeance, calls its name
Powers far beyond the dreamers of the wild
Dark echoes shatter through a world unknowing
Shadow dying to behold the orb of warn

[Verse 2]
Minions march, to mountain city
See the beasts, creations of wizardry
Wails of war
Tonight the dead will die and rise again
Mirrors crack, the light is fading
Hate reviled, illusions and imagery
Feel the scent of fear and madness
darkness settles in
walls will bleed

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Stick 1]
And then all the lands are free
And the Carwan's fate is sealed
The singing king is crowned
And the world can live again
The mirrors are restored and Calannor fares on
By destiny he's bound to live on eternally

[Solo]

[Stick 2]
And then the orb will be destroyed
Will be taken by the flames and lost in history
So the world can carry on
And Calannor fares on and still lives on
And mankind will forget...

[Chorus]
Ancor, veiled in vengeance, calls its name
Powers far beyond the dreamers of the wild
Ancor, veiled in vengeance, calls its name
Powers far beyond the dreamers of the wild
Dark echoes shatter through a world unknown
Shadow dying to behold the orb of warn


3. Blinded

[Verse 1]
Witches burned at the stake, “the one”
Was whipped on the cross, left there bleeding...
The black man hanged and scientist gassed
In a world of endless suffering
The Indians slaughtered, and the rebels
Punished for the riot at the red square
Rash and cruel, they worked their “magic”
You think the world is round?

[Bridge]
Is there still a way to live?
In this world of madness
Will we ever learn to give?

[Chorus]
Blinded by our arrogance
We fail to see the state of art
Existence of those who fathom life...
Wisdom lies deep in our hearts

[Verse 2]
Today's state of science
Can not fathom the depths of existence
Human mind is inadequate
To provide an explanation
The leaders pray to god for help
But those who god will be the master?
Our blood's still, red and we share
The same dream, will we ever learn?

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Stick]
Master of our universe, holy father can you tell
If there's a god for each one of us
We pray to break this magic spell

[Chorus]


4. The world

[Verse 1]
Don't need your understanding
Live the mess I'm in
I'm in a chain reaction
Let me in
I saw the big lights flashing
Ruin the entire land
I still hear children screaming
Goin' insane

[Bridge]
Fighting all the demons
In the middle of the night
I open my eyes and I just see I'm still alive

[Chorus]
Here's another story of the world I'm living in
You can see a hero fall tonight
I see dark angels fly
Nothing else remains a mystery

[Verse 2]
Smiling on the outside
Empty on the inside
Lost even my direction
Where to go?
I'm still in this madhouse
My life's just one big lie
No more air to breath
We're face to face

[Bridge]
Covered by a smiling mask
To hide all our sins
But really have to see
That there's no more truth within!

[Chorus]

[Breakdown / solo]

[Chorus x2]


5. Spirit

[Verse 1]
We have to go on, have to find a way
It's not the first time, you should know
We've been through hard times and worries before
But in the end we always find a way to go
I don't follow, I don't understand
You use to be so strong and sure but suddenly...

[Bridge 1]
Heaven comes falling down on you
Dark clouds surrounding us
The light seems so far away
But still I believe it's not too late

[Chorus]
So don't lose the spirit
Without it we're standing small
So keep up the spirit
This is our time in life to take all the chances
before we throw it all away...

[Verse 2]
I know your worries, I know your agony
I'm also hurt from time to time
I guess we need to believe once again
That we can beat the odds like many times before
I don't follow, I don't understand
To throw away what we've achieved is not the way

[Bridge 2]
Use your imagination now
Could you really leave it all?
We all slip and fall sometimes
But the inspiration will be there again!

[Chorus]

[Stick]
You know we didn't chose an easy way
But somehow we've managed
To overcome impossibilities
We have only got this far
By being who we are

[Solo]

[Bridge 3]
We all slip and fall sometimes
But the inspiration will be there again

[Chorus]
So don't lose the spirit
Without it we're standing small
So keep up the spirit
This is our time in life
Without it we're standing small
So keep up the spirit
This is our time in life to take all the chances
before we throw it all away


6. Queen Of Madness

[Verse 1]
Everything you've done to break me
Is written on the wall
I don't know where to go

I've been on the run from something
But I can't take control, in my mind you're behind

[Bridge]
Every night I fear that you will
Kill my heart and soul
Like a ghost inside of me
You whisper I'm your saviour!

[Chorus]
You're the queen of madness
Wears no crown
Lost in deepest sadness
Falling down
You deceived me
Blood stained and never free
You've blamed all your shame on me

[Verse 2]
I have made a promise
To get back on you someday
Justice come, it will be done

You will face the darkest future
You will go to hell
Time will tell, I wish you well

[Bridge]
The chill I feel at night will disappear
When you are gone
All the terror in my world will end
When I'm the saviour!

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Chorus]


7. The Game

[Verse 1]
Like a song from a distant earth
Like a dream that is far too real
You took life as if was away from us
We were blind to the truth behind
We were tricked by your vicious mind
We had hopes of a different kind
We believed that the traveller had come

[Bridge]
So long souls lost, worlds lingered on
Our hopes were gone but we remained
As starts in a darkest place
A space of love so drained
And then, through eternities
You came to set us free

[Chorus]
We lost the game, in our minds grew madness
Your treachery, like a blade to the bone
You took our souls
But our dreams you left untouched
Silently we weep

[Verse 2]
It is dawn, it is time to go
time to save what is yet to save
We will leave for another world, reload!
Gather around, all our ships are packed
Say goodbye to your lives of old
Enter space, the embrace of cold set our path on a galaxy unknown

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Stick]
In darkness dreams begin to stir
Trough generations they live on, on and on!
We will regain our land, we will be back!
You will regret, you'll live to see
The day we come. The day of our return!

[Solo]

[Bridge]
As stars in a darkened place
A space of love so drained
And then, through eternities
You came to set us free

[Chorus]
Silently we weep!


8. True At Heart

[Verse 1]
It's time to fight
As one on the battlefield for every right
It's up to you to change someone's destiny
It's time to prove what you wanna do!

[Bridge]
I can see a burning flame
That light up lost gone souls
Somewhere is a spark of life
That leads towards our goal

[Chorus]
We're marching for freedom
Stand for one kingdom
Follow the wisdom, all true at heart
Gather all forces, from long distant courses
Stronger then ever, all true at heart

[Verse 2]
I have a dream
To see all the people of our world be free
We'll live as one, our enemies forces
Will be on the run, the future is here

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Bridge]

[Chorus]


9. Tides Will Turn

[Verse 1]
I run trough the mist of the void
I am hunted by fear, my soul is repressed
And my heart is a statue of stone
Eos is dead and gone, there's shadow ahead
Thin threads of hope is all, a faint trace of live
Until she's found I won't give up, I won't give in!

[Chorus]
I am searching recklessly through pain and misery
The tides will turn for me, it's my destiny!

[Verse 2]
By the river of Styx, through the echoes of death
I am guided by harmonies, remnants of song
Beats of a lonely heart is leading the way
Silence is broken in the halls of the dead
Until she's found I won't give up, I'll carry on!

[Chorus]

Chaos calling me...

Until she's found I won't give up
I'll carry on!

[Chorus]


10. Dreamchaser

[Verse 1]
Tears falling like comets collide
Stars; like dreams in the night
Oh, my mind is ablaze with the colours of love
Fireworks fantastic!

[Bridge]
Fear, feeling sincere, silently seeping in!
How, how can I live, can I go on?

[Chorus]
Dreamchaser, stargazer
Seed of the world
Search in your soul for the light
Can you hear the song?
Songwriter, sunsighter
Love is the sign
Follow your heart to the end
Become divine!

[Verse 2]
Sing, whispering galaxies, sing
Sail, on the winds of the sun
Let my soul come aware of the powers within
Let the new day dawn, then...

[Bridge]
Lingering life, I am reborn, revived
Song, I'm part of the song. A piece of our soul

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Chorus]


11. The End

[Verse 1]
Steve came out of school with lousy grades
The year was 1989
So many wasted years without a trace
Of human touch to warm his spine
With blood in sight and murder on his mind
A desperate soul so near insanity

[Bridge]
And there's a voice inside his head
And it's crying...
Screaming out who destroyed his childhood
To take them down!
Cause this time you really had it!

[Chorus]
You will
Till the end
End of time
Play the game
To restrain
Let them hear the drums
It's the sound of revenge
Cause you will always fight
Till the end
End of time
going straight for their
Hearts made of steel
This time it's for real

[Verse 2]
Way too far away to save them now
Drifting around in a pool of hate
The demons from the past, is crawling down
You're tearing out
Their blackened hearts of stone

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

For real...
This time it's for real!
