1. OPUS DRACONIS

(Instrumental)


2. THE ETERNAL CHAMPION

Forever I shall dwell in dark
A distant flame before the sun
The sailor on the seas of fate
A dark one, the black blade

Beyond the shadows I have seen
Visions cold in my dreams
The Last one of the Dragonlords
A pawn of Chaos, The stealer of souls

Far beyond the worlds I come
A distant black flame before the brightest sun
Beyond the magic and the cold flames
Behold my weak and white-pale face!

The Last one of the Dragonlords
A pawn of Chaos, The stealer of souls
The sailor on the seas of fate
The stealer of souls, the black blade

Beyond the worlds I have come
A distant flame before the sun
The last king of the dying kind
A warrior at the edge of time

''Arioch, dark one I grand you thy souls
Oh, hear my call the lord of the chaos''


3. THE HOUR OF THE DRAGON

Sleeper, awake!
Long years passed by
Sending the black shadow wavering
Along the walls of the night

The Lion banner sways and falls in the horror-haunted gloom
A scarlet Dragon rustles by, borne on winds of doom.
In heaps the shining horsemen lie, where the thrusting lance break
And deep in the haunted mountains, the lost, black gods awake
Dead hands grope in the shadows, the star turn pale with fright
For this is the Dragon's hour, the triumph of fear and night


4. THE ALCHEMIST

"Waiting for my own rebirth
Through countless ages I will burn
Centuries ago I was born
From the darkest scrolls to rise from below''

Deep down the shadows are deep
In silence The Alchemist sleeps
Dreaming mysterious dreams
In webs of the darkness and the fears...
Going to nowhere...

Visions and spheres of space and dreams
Colliding the worlds, reflecting the fears
Shadows so dark, illusions so deep
Fight your illusions you'll gone
Going to nowhere...


5. CHRONOMANCER

Time eternal…
Bound by this are we…
A lifelong chain it is,
Never are we free

A bed of dust awaits
Chronos’ blade cuts deep
Through every mortal heart
To bring eternal sleep

But every thousand years
A male child comes to be
A mere mortal being
Who won’t bend his knee
(before the God of Time )

Once his sun set
Another took to power
A scarred face and soul
Herald to the dark tower

Few are such men
Who walk the halls of time
Shaping fates of others
Shaping yours and mine

Dark is his heart
Bred in mortal womb
With power to stop time
And delay the tomb

But how to snare a shadow
And place it under lock
How to cage a man
Not afraid of the ticking clock?


6. SERVANTS OF SORCERY

Tides of might and magic once again I feel
The age of colossal darkness I have foreseen

I felt her presence, by the spell of the might
The calm dark presence
Darkness of the Night
Legions of chaos magic and spell
Wisdom of darkness, of those who once fell
Into the darkness, through halls of the night
Those of magic, the breed of the unlight
Guardians of ages, dragons of old
Mother divine her touch is so cold
Wisdom of ages, the spells of yore
Monarchs divine, those of magic shall be again reborn!

In times before the light those of magic were born
Keepers of darkness, those who came once before


7. WHILE THE GODS LAUGH

While the gods laugh I shall stand alone
Dreaming dark dreams in darkness and cold
Maelstrom of passions in that hidden sea
Whose waters of all-time lap the coasts of me

Hail the ancient kings of Melnibone!
Thy towers shall crumble down forevermore

Awake the kings of ruins, the great Dragonlords
Thy towers shall lay in ruins and the broken swords
Hail the ancient kings of Tanelorn!
Thy towers shall crumble down forevermore

In darkness let me dwell, the ground shall sorrow be;
The roof despair to bar all cheerful light from me:
The walls of marble black that moistened still shall weep;
My music hellish jarring sounds to banish friendly sleep.

Silver, dark towers rise towards the sky
Where the white dragons soar high
Seas and oceans between the worlds dwell
Great white ships there in silence sail
Forever and ever...


8. THE SAILOR ON THE SEAS OF FATE

Dark are the worlds that I have left behind
Where the howling winds forever cry
Worlds beyond the worlds I will ever seek
And the gates of Valinor will welcome me

Silver High citadels in the dreaming silence lie
Where the white dragons soar high
Seas and the oceans between the worlds dwell
White great ships there forever in silence sail

Dark are the worlds that I have left behind
Where the howling winds forever cry
Worlds beyond the worlds I will ever seek
And the gates of Tanelorn will welcome me
