1. RISE FROM THE ASHES

(Instrumental)


2. ENCLOSED BY YOUR DESTINY

I find myself looking into the mirror
Staring through those tired eyes
It seems like my eyes begin to wonder
Reflecting something deep inside

Come on mirror talk to me
And set me free
Bring back the fire to my eyes

The picture of my life is getting clearer
When I see it through a different light
I imagine the broken mirror inside myself
Show me what I'm looking for

Come on mirror talk to me
Tell me now
About my final destiny

(Voice from the mirror)

Once upon a time, enclosed by your destiny
Nowhere to run when you were fighting for your life
But now we are marching on
To the place where our hearts belong
Running on the power of our dreams
That's our final destiny

(My destiny reveals)

When I am gone
Surely passed beyond
Enclosed by my final destiny
A thousand years from now
In that place I have to go
In the afterlife, I am surely free


3. WITHOUT WARNING

In a time of evil a young man lifted his face
He looked up to the magic sky
Where darkness had its day
He heard the wizard talking
About those ancient times
Stories they'd known as fairy tales
Was brought back alive

We're on our way
There will be a day
Freedom for us all
Watch the dragon fall

Listen to the wind and listen to the omen
It's getting colder everyday
Creatures all around, a message without warning
We got to fight or run away
In the night we are falling
Hear the darkness calling
A message without warning
A surprise from the evil hand

Like a rolling thunder the men were marching on
Heaven is on fire this battle must be won
Brave men of the light
Prepared themselves to die
All of them remembered well
The message from the sky

The young man Caprian lifted his sword,
Smiled to Hywoth his friend
If we stay together in this battle,
Someday this nightmare must end
The source of evil must be found,
Prepare for the final attack
Stand of fall, defend our kingdom,
Remember there's no turning back
So many men have died on our journey,
You can follow our tracks by the blood
But still we are fighting, the spirit is high
No one surrender at all.


4. RELEASED

I'm walking in a desert
Of loneliness and pain
There is no tomorrow
I watch the final autumn rain
And the clouds around me
Are crying tears of rage
This world's become my prison
My life it is my cage

And even under blue skies
The sun is far too hot
It set my skin on fire
And it sure does hurt a lot
So now I'm walking all alone
With no one at my side
I drift in desperation
There is no place to hide

Let me be released
From this living hell I'm into
I'm drawing a little bit more
Every day that passes by
Let me be released
Let me fly away to nowhere
Let me fade, let me vanish
I want to disappear

I feel that I have been and done
I've always been astray
Finally I'll end it all
I've got no more to say

And when my life is over
I'll reach out for a star
I hear the angels calling
They whisper from afar


5. UNDER A CRIMSON DKY

Fly to the edge of the rainbow
Walk to the edge of the world
Sail your ship to a distant shore
To a land of fantasies

See the world through a different view
The way you would like it to be
Let your dreams take you where you want to go
A place of magical mysteries

You only see what you want to see
You only hear what you want to hear
You'll find safe sanctuary in your lies
And realize the tide's on the rise

Don't try to deny reality
Look through a different pair of eyes
So you can look through the veil of disguise
Let the blindfold be untied
That hides and covers up your eyes
And realize we live under a crimson sky

Allow your thoughts to drift away
Forget about everyday life
But remember there's no perfect state
Paradise is just an illusion

Escape the world for a little while
Denying is not the solution
Keep dreams and reality separated
Or it might just lead to confusion


6. THE CHALLENGE

It was the first month in the year of the lion
The Carasmian army were preparing for war
Cause the Vaconia Kingdom had challenged their land
And now they had to fight for their honor

The Carasmian warlord gathered his men
And gave his instructions for the battlefield
Now it's kill or be killed, mercy's forbidden
Let's go and collect the glorious victory

Attack in the name of our king and country
No life will be spared, we are marching on
Let the sword be your wisdom, let it speak
Remember there is no return from this war

The Vaconian army were waiting for them
Up on a hill called Majestical Rock
And their general raised his fist to the sky
Let the battle of glory begin

So the battle went on, the sun went up twice
You still heard the sound of fighting men
At last the Vaconian soldiers gave up
The Varasmian army returned to their king


7. ARMY OF THE LOST SOULS

By the roots of a mountain
A cave did appear
A Black hole filled with solitude
It was the den of the damned
Home of the haunted
Oblivion was calling from the dark

And the suffering was screaming from the deep
Hear the weeping in the spirits sigh

Feel the pain in the voices to the army of the lost souls
Captured in their own misery
They'll be restless until they've paid back their deeds
When it's done, they can cross the river to eternal peace

This is Caprian calling
I can offer you freedom
Just ride with me in the battle
When your mission's done
You'll be free from your spell
And you can go back to sleep forever

Like the shadows the lost souls were riding
Leaving behind a fog of rime
Even the sunbeams turn to icicles
When they reached the darkened hearts of the dead


8. MESSENGERS OF WAR

I had a vision inside a dream
The man of tomorrow entered the scene
He got the power to lead us away
And he got his power for three and a half years

Blood of the holy, blood of the priest
The doomed they worshiped him

Amazed by your violence
Amazed by your crimes
You are our leader, lead us to die
We will you follow where ever you go
We are your messengers of war

The leader performed miraculous signs
Fire came down from heaven this time
And he showed it in full view of men
Deceived them to do what he said


9. DARK CLOUDS GATHERING

I can see the dark clouds gathering in the distance
I can hear the stormwind brewing far away
i can see white lightning, blinding eyes and striking
I hear roaring thunder, deafening ears and frightening

Paralyzed - We gaze at the sky
Never realizing that the end is nigh
A land of ice - The last sunrise
Time flies as the clouds roll by

A mighty spell is cast in the shape of a shadow
We're closer to the day we'll never see tomorrow
Live a life in black, endless, cold winter nights
Should we've read the signs before the writings on the wall

High in the sky
A blessing in disguise
A false alarm or a warning from heavens above
Could it be the sign
Of a curse from below
We're living in the calm before the storm

If the prophecies are true, we await our final judgment
To stand before God's trial in his courtroom in the sky
Lord if you have mercy, don't let us fall from grace
Just let the dark clouds be passing gently by


10. ROSES ARE BED (AQUA COVER)

Roses are red and
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet, but not as sweet as you
Roses are red and
Violets are blue

Ah di da did mud
Ah di da did mud

Dum di da di da

Come pick my Roses!

Sweet from the flowers,
honey from the bees
I've got a feeling, I'm ready to release
Roses are red and
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet,
but not as sweet as you

It's invisible, but so touchable and,
I can feel it on my body,
so emotional
I'm on a ride, on a ride
I'm a passenger
I'm a victim of a hot love messenger

Dum di da di da
Dum di da di da

The only thing he said was
Dum di da di da
Dum di da di da
Dum di da di da
And roses are red

Come with me baby,
Please fulfill my wish
Show it to me truly,
Show me with a kiss
Roses are red and
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet,
but not as sweet as you
It's invisible but, so touchable
And I can feel it on my body,
so emotional
I'm on a ride, on a ride
I'm a passenger
I'm a victim of a hot love messenger
