1. HEART FOR YEARNING JOURNEY

I dream of my destiny
A winding journey into lands unforeseen
What lies behind brooding hearts?
The hopes and fears of mankind fall to the dark

And all the valour seems to falter
The Gods awake and meet us on the shore
A ship sets sail upon a sea of fire, burning
Reach out in faith and you’ll -

Take my hand and hold tight
We’re soaring with dragons on mountains high
Twisting, turning on this journey lost in pure fantasy
Lose yourself -

All your life you wonder if this path leads to grand adventure
See the starlight / (in the void of the night)
Shining so bright / (like the sun’s glowing might)
Guide this young willing spirit
Feel the yearning journey that lies deep inside your heart
And you’ll fly so very far away

Onward, no time to waste
The trials of mankind will stand in our way
Forests and meadows of gold
The legends of spirit as foretold

And from the damning ice of winter
The boundaries of love cast away
Darkness falls, a nearly silent voice still calls me
Reach out in faith and you’ll -

Take my hand and hold tight
We’re dancing on rainbows and starry skies
In this woods of ancient magic seek the lost prophecy
Power on -

All your life you wonder if this path leads to grand adventure
See the starlight / (in the void of the night)
Shining so bright / (like the sun’s glowing might)
Guide this young willing spirit
Feel the yearning journey that lies deep inside your heart
And you’ll fly so very far away

Sundown, bright shooting stars
The quest is over as we head for the dawn
I dream, a life of ease
The magic of heart will guide our search for our peace

And then we looked back through the ages
The sands of time now running so thin
We were young, we lived, we laughed until the pain had faded
Reach out in faith and you’ll -

Take my hand and hold tight
We’re writing the pages of our lives
Every time there’s one more chapter
Story never ends
Fly away –


2. ASCENSION

Once upon a time in a world of hopes and dreams, the trials of humanity gave rise to the brave heroes and travellers who would one day engrave the Legends of Human Spirit into the hearts and souls of all who would seek them.

To the corners of the Earth, and to the galaxies and beyond, we ascend, and rise above those shallow expectations that chain us to all known reason.

Through the battles fierce and winters cold, may the fiery might of righteousness guide you through the storm and safely home in dire times of need.

Go forth and forge a path worth taking, and one day in the future pages of myth and legend the tales to be read shall bear your name and likeness.

The story begins… with you!


3. FLY WITH ME

Day after day as I stare at the suns in the sky
Searching and hoping for my chance to fly
Trapped in these motions just longing for more out of life
Onwards and upwards we fly through space and light!

Last night your smile took my breath away
And we’ll fly to never-land, wishing for a kiss
And I know in my heart you’ll never be alone
Now that you are here, you’ll fly with me
To destiny!

Facing the forces of darkness
Trust your heart and never lose sight of your way
Temptation to fall, succumb to your anger
Twisting and turning emotions
(Grasping hold of your reality)
True friendship will be your guide
Embrace it or die!

Last night your smile took my breath away
And we’ll fly to never-land, wishing for a kiss
And I know in my heart you’ll never be alone
Now that you are here, you’ll fly with me
To destiny!

Last night your smile took my breath away
And we’ll fly to never-land, wishing for a kiss
And I know in my heart you’ll never be alone
Now that you are here, you’ll fly with me
To destiny!


4. FIELDS OF VALOUR

Clouds of dust now fade, speak and they obey
On the darkest plain the power of man, the power of fate
Will finally collide
(Through the ages)

Darkness surrounds us on stairways to nowhere
Our hearts silenced late in the night
Torsion of power, deception of wisdom
The lies of an era hold strong

Nature's wind, Earthen flame
The forces of the cosmos spark a new hope for all
And for one more day we'll fight the curse away
On fields of valour

Sing for peace of mind, sing for one last time
Judgment lays in wait, the fire of Hell and a fall from grace
Will end it all
(Now we witness)

Legions of shadows; forsaken and angered
The embers of life burning bright
March from the gallows my brothers and sisters
The winds of our freedom prevail

Nature's wind, Earthen flame
The forces of the cosmos spark a new hope for all
And for one more day we'll fight the curse away
On fields of valour

Nature's wind, Earthen flame
The forces of the cosmos spark a new hope for all
And for one more day we'll fight the curse away
For peace for all mankind / (On fields of valour)


5. THE FIERY SEAS AND ICY WINDS

Fight / (Fight!) - fight for your dreams
Never giving up and escape into eternity
Dream / (Dream!) - dream for your souls
Lost inside this battle across the deadly seas

What does this mean? / (It is nothing but a dream)
We sacrifice and wind up in paradise
We pray for thee / (We will cross the endless sea)
Never give up, never surrender tonight

Fly free and fight for your dreams
Live to fight and pray for might
We battle on the sun, the war we have won
The fiery seas and icy winds we ride

Open - open your eyes
Wake up and tell me where this world is headed for
Cry / (Cry!) - cry for the land
Now’s the time to help fight this tyranny

Over meadows of golden sunlight
And in the valley of the kings
Time and space are realigned tonight

Fly free and fight for your dreams
Live to fight and pray for might
We battle on the sun, the war we have won
The fiery seas and icy winds we ride

Fly free and fight for your dreams
Live to fight and pray for might
We battle on the sun, the war we have won
The fiery seas and icy winds we ride


6. WHERE SLEEPING GODS AWAIT

You don’t know where we’re waiting
(You’ve seen it, you need it)
But you don’t want it
You’ll never know

Who takes the fall?
One time, one for all
End it forever. Leave your life of sin
Shining and stalwart in the night
We’ll see -

Endless morning, truth and glory, like you’ve never known
We live together, sing in harmony, telling stories old
Wherever you are, I’ll be by your side
In magic lands where sleeping gods await
We all have our past, and futures to find
But I won’t listen to your tragedy
When the stars shine bright

One night forever
(You see her, you need her)
But you can’t save her
You always lose

One hazy night
One dark, stormy sky
Live strong with no fear, for your time has come
Shining and stalwart in the night
We’ll see -

Endless morning, truth and glory, like you’ve never known
We live together, sing in harmony, telling stories old
Wherever you are, I’ll be by your side
In magic lands where sleeping gods await
We all have our past, and futures to find
But I won’t listen to your tragedy
When the stars shine bright

Endless morning, truth and glory, like you’ve never known
We live together, sing in harmony, telling stories old
Wherever you are, I’ll be by your side
In magic lands where sleeping gods await
We all have our past, and futures to find
But I won’t listen to your tragedy
When the stars shine bright


7. FOREVER AS ONE

A bridge across the river flow
The sun sets, glowing but fading away
Healing all of your sorrows
Oh, it has begun, we stand as one
In a battle tomorrow
(Out of the fog we must go)

Oh, open your mind
Oh, follow your heart
And you'll see -

All of your fantasies
Sealed and cased in gold
When we stand with shields up high
Then we’ll always be
Forever as one, forever as one

A ship upon the tempest wake
Is tossed about so carelessly
A sailor is lost to his widow
How long will she wait / (How long will I wait)
For solace?
(Only in time will we know)

Oh, deep down inside
Oh, try to realize
And you’ll see -

All of your fantasies
Sealed and cased in gold
When we stand with shields up high
Then we’ll always be
Forever as one, forever as one

Oh, open your mind
Oh, follow your heart
And you'll see -

All of your fantasies
Sealed and cased in gold
When we stand with shields up high
Then we’ll always be
Forever as one, forever as one


8. VOICE IN THE NIGHT

Long is the road that we wander blind and cold
Searching in wonder for peace in our own lonely world
And you’ll see, you can be what you dream
Singing - Oh -

You will learn to try
(To see the light)
You will never ever see it all
You just can't ever hear the call

You can hear a voice calling out in the night
As your best years fade before your eyes
And for every little light, and every little life
We are, we are, we are

One life, one more reason to survive
In this time, what have we become
In the eyes of this humanity?
And I'm walking past the line
For our kind
Drawn by man, for man

You will learn to try
(To claim the right)
You will never ever see it all
You just can't ever hear the call

Burning desire, inside you, on fire
Once more your honor inclines you, misguides you
But still -

You can hear a voice calling out in the night
As your best years fade before your eyes
And for every little light, and every little life
We are, we are, we are

What will be your course of action
What path will your spirit take?
Once more you must weigh your judgement
Something safe or something great?
You close your eyes, you shut your mind
And never will you reach the sky
But I won't stay and be forgotten
I won't let it die, oh no

When you feel the touch of the world
When you see the signs on the wind
When you hear the call of your lost forgotten king
You'll know you're not alone

When you heed the voice in the night
When your friendship's true and the time is right
When you know your worth then the truth will set you free
Or you will never know what is your destiny in life

You can hear a voice calling out in the night
As your best years fade before your eyes
And for every little light, and every little life
We are, we are, we are

You can hear a voice in the shadows
You can hear it calling through the night
And with every little cry
Then every little whisper
Turns from dark into light


9. A DREAM OF STARS

One step, your life has begun
The journey starts, the power of the everlasting sun
The days keep going by, there’s chaos in the air
And no one seems to notice all the spirits crying

Destiny will guide them safely
His love will shelter them all
When darkness falls he’ll protect us all
The world will know of his power

Somehow, someway, I know it’s true
A dream like no other, feelings in your heart
Somewhere, someday, searching the dark
You’ll see where life will lead
All in a dream of stars

Hold on, we’re nearing the end
The treachery of all mankind will seek its revenge
Never try to move this mountain on your own
You’re crying out but no one’s there
Your fears of dying

Destiny will guide you safely
His love will shelter them all
When darkness falls he’ll protect us all
The world will know of his power

Somehow, someway, I know it’s true
A dream like no other, feelings in your heart
Somewhere, someday, searching the dark
You’ll see where life will lead
All in a dream of stars

Destiny will guide you safely
His love will shelter them all
When angels cry they’ll protect the night
The world will know of their power

Somehow, someway, I know it’s true
A dream like no other, feelings in your heart
Somewhere, someday, searching the dark
You’ll see where life will lead

All in a dream of stars
The power lives deep in your heart
And we’ll fly, just aim towards the sky
Tonight, in a dream of stars!


10. GALES OF WINTER

Crossing moonlight, power and strife
Standing till death kills us all
The battle of our lives
Chaos rips through our souls, inner struggle I fight
The gales of winter strike with might

Oh glory, power at hand
United we fly to protect our land
Oh glory, true love is born
Death of the cosmic, the battle wages on!

Into the days of last year’s winter
I left the land that I knew
Storming through the moonlit sky
Breaking the boundaries of love
And now we stand for all our glory
Our hearts will never cry
Believe in your dreams for one moment
In boundless time

Pray for the damned, sword in our hands
Into the darkness we ride
A miracle of forest alive
Winds from the north, gales on the sea
Eternal flame once more
Ice and snow surrounds us on the shore

Oh darkness, gaze at the stars
Believe in your dreams and just follow your heart
Oh darkness, true love is born
Death of the cosmic, the battle wages on!

Into the days of last year’s winter
I left the land that I knew
Storming through the moonlit sky
Breaking the boundaries of love
And now we stand for all our glory
Our hearts will never cry
Believe in your dreams for one moment
In boundless time

Into the days of last year’s winter
I left the land that I knew
Storming through the moonlit sky
Breaking the boundaries of love
And now we stand for all our glory
Our hearts will never cry
Believe in your dreams for one moment
In boundless time
