Lyrics


1. THE BELL

In the night, see the light, hear the bell which strikes
The blood gets caught up in your veins
Hear the sound, rolling down, it attacks your mind
Your ears are open, your eyes are blind

Stop and wait, have you listened well
Run run, when you can, trying to find the bell

Beer and wine, all night long
Drink deep, when you find the place
Heavy music, let you set the pace

Keep up, be fast, as the party pass your time
Soon, you have to go home
The night is stoned, no one stands alone

Sleep all day, deep and sound, and don't ever tell
See some things that's been around, standing under the bell

If you have ever seen, what I mean, the bells rings free

The daytime has come. You lay somewhere
Was it just an illusion
You remember well but in your brain runs confusion
No trace, no clue, but you know it was true
Not a dream last night
I hear the bell sound in its burning light

If you have ever seen, what I mean, the bells rings free


2. WHEELS

For everyone, the day will come to close his eyes
And he takes a last look in his life
And he sees in the eye of the sun the evil thinks he has done
Time has run out to return

The devil is waiting at the gate of hell, till you come

Wheels made of steel are rolling on
Wheels made of steel pick up the damned
Wheels made of steel are rolling on
Wheels made of steel pick up the damned and the devil laughs

When votan grasp you in his clutch and drags you to the beasts
And idle creatures hang in the vault

Bare women dance over the flames and you wonder why they feel no pain
You laugh about the fiery rain

Hell and amusement, the fires are cool, so the coal pit says

This is the saga of the fallen world
You'll see, when your blood is cold


3. MIDNIGHT ANGEL

You follow the window, trees are wrapped in snow
The sky darkens slowly, night begins to moan
Help is impossible, the full moon is near
It's five to twelve, all the players are here

A light has been dancing, the door's white with frost
An angel has opened, give him your trust

[Chorus]
I'm you midnight angel with the golden wings of dawn
I'm your misty midnight angel
I'm you midnight angel with the golden wings of dawn
Appearing from the sun

The angel charms you, like a demon of hell
Somewhere you'd hear the sound of mocking bells
Black dolls follow you on your flight through the night
It seem to you as if there was a spark in their eyes

Night can be cruel, don't dare to cry out for help
When midnight is here, when an angel is near

[Chorus]


4. WOMAN

When I saw her, it was late
Drunk and lost I watched her coming into the room
Wanting to forget every long night

Suddenly I could live again, I was feeling alright
Long fair hair surrounded her perfect face

[Chorus]
I found the women for my life
She treated me as cold as ice

When I asked her, she stared at the floor
Words were said, I didn't expect, she would say more
Come with me tonight, don’t tell me no
Moving away, she said her goodbye, I was left alone

Long hair fair surrounded her perfect face
Her pale white shoulders were touched by black lace

[Chorus]


5. I HOLD YOU

I see a man coming out, the door I came out last night
I wouldn't know, if he's a friend, he didn't care to switch on the light
I run as fast as I can to you, my heart pounds with fear
Could you tell me, what I should do, and then you face breaks out in tears

[Chorus]
And I hold you in my arms, can't change the fate in your eyes

You begin to talk, about the troubles you had at home
You didn't make the grade and then you have gone
So you met a man, he was the first you have called your own
But it didn't take long, 'till the luck began

[Chorus]

Far from home, you face made up, you're on the street
And you run away, you took the very last chance to leave

But he found you out (found you out), he came around last night
You say, that none could help, it was something which you couldn't fight

[Chorus]

Then you walk away, far away from me
You turn your head around, and your smile is sweet...


6. BRIGHT FOG

Once there was an iron knight
He spread damage, pain and plight
The saga said he would return
And all the ships would have to burn

People lived in fear of hid next attack
He's a demon, coolest of the pack
Soon he'll enter golden cross
Those who are guilty, will be lost

Bright fog, he's still out of sight
Bright fog, he's the killer of the night

The sexton rings the midnight bell
Mighty fog sets up its sail
He enters in Antonio Bay
Now it's way too late to pray


7. HAZEL THE WITCH

People remember a lady long ago
Brought down from heaven as the story was told
She was called Hazel, the witch

She brought disaster and disease to the earth
People tried to flee but they've been damned from their birth
The laughter of Hazel was powerful and shrill
Her only desire was to kill

Her glance was the lightning, her breath was like a storm
Daytime was her cover, the nightmare was her home
Hazel is he witched-Hazel of hell
She collects souls to buy and sell

[Chorus]
Do you see her in a shadow
In a shadow on a cloud, high in the sky
Do you see her in a shadow
In a shadow of a cloud, she flies away

Happiness was everywhere on earth, when she disappeared
But the whisper of her secret waves is still in people's ears

People call her Hazel - the witch...
People call her Hazel - the witch...
People call her Hazel

[Chorus]


8. BROKEN HARMONIES

I see a shadow in the twilight
Running, looking, still no light
Where’s my destination in this cold night
My way is falling out of sight

Again I'm touched by your presence
Your shadow deprives me of all my chances
All my words are but empty phrases
There's no more time to make any chances

Loves is a game of fall and rise
Every 'stake has its own price
Take a look on the mirror’s sad eyes
Wish yourself to fool's paradise

[Chorus]
I hate this game of broken harmonies
Again and again I’m put back on my knees
Those games of broken harmonies
Broken hearts in broken harmonies
Harmony - broken apart
Too many years
Harmony - broken apart
Too many tears

Please take me back where I’ve been aching
I don't know how to end this desperation

But I regret is that love an illusion
I couldn't repent but lead me out of confusion

[Chorus]

Love is a game of fall and rise
Every 'stake has its own price

Take a look on the mirror’s sad eyes
Wish yourself to fool's paradise

[Chorus]


9. GARDEN OF EVIL

Have you seen the blazing fire, burning in your soul
Do you feel the magic flame
Do you send the mighty forces tearing up your brain
Do you know the stepping pain

[Chorus]
This is the garden of the evil
See dragons flying in the sky
This is the garden of the evil
The beast is coming up from hell

Icy cold and great black shadows
Rising in your bones
And that power drives you on
On the search of the victim
For a dark empire
See 'em run in the devils sun

[Chorus]

From Hell!

Have you seen the blazing fire, burning in your soul
Do you feel the magic flame
Do you send the mighty forces tearing up your brain
Do you know the stepping pain

[Chorus](x2)
