1. ENIGMA

I'm deep in my sorrow and feeling down
Not waiting for rapture to come around
With nothing to lose I'm about to clear my mind
So many times I have dealt with my pain
And now it is driving me almost insane
I had a future but now it is left far behind

Then out of the corner comes a light
Taking my breath, divine and bright
Changing my world, left me adrift so silently

I have tried
To comprehend
I've hid my pride and made amends
But all I had was misery to see
When I'm close to her
It's so intense, I hold her tight
It makes no sense
Cause still she is a mystery to me

Ain't taking it for granted what we've got
But I'm willing to give it my best shot
Avoiding the darkest whispers from my past
I've got no regrets, I've got no remorse
This is my life and I've chosen my course
I'm taking the challenge and I know it's gonna last

Then out of the corner comes a light
Taking my breath, divine and bright
Changing my world, left me adrift so silently

I have tried
To comprehend
I've hid my pride and made amends
But all I had was misery to see
When I'm close to her
It's so intense, I hold her tight
It makes no sense
Cause still she is a mystery to me

I have tried
To comprehend
I've hid my pride and made amends
Cause still she is a mystery to me

I have tried
To comprehend
I've hid my pride and made amends
But all I had was misery to see
When I'm close to her
It's so intense, I hold her tight
It makes no sense
Cause still she is a mystery to me

A mystery to me
A mystery to me
A mystery to me


2. HUNTER

Those cold black eyes with their empty stare
Revealing nothing at all what's on the way
And when the air filled with fear
He's lurking in the shade unrevealed
His aim is concealed

He is like a shark
When he smells some blood
He goes blind and insane
As he is chasing down his prey
And from the dark he rises
And he'll bring evil to light
He won't be keeping it at bay

Oooh, darkness follows him!
Death will he bring!

He's hunting from the dusk till dawn
He's on the move, he's on the loose and silently
He is sneaing upon his game
There is no warning there will be mourning
He makes his kill

Feeling no shame

He is like a shark
When he smells some blood
He goes blind and insane
As he is chasing down his prey
And from the dark he rises
And he'll bring evil to light
He won't be keeping it at bay

Oooh, darkness follows him!
Death will he bring

Those cold black eyes with their empty sta
He is like a shark
When he smells some blood
He goes blind and insane
As he is chasing down his prey
And from the dark he rises
And he'll bring evil to light
He won't be keeping it at bay


3. HALLOWED

Once they countdown the final dream,
Life will never be the same.
Due to blindness they cannot see,
That we cannot starve this way.

They will stop when it's too late,
Just to realize, you cannot eat money.

Whoaaaaaa.
Time is running out,
Runaway (Runaway) (Runaway),
World is burning down.

When the earth turns to black from greed,
When the last drop of water has been spent.

They will stop when it's too late,
Just to realize, you cannot eat money, so....

Whoaaaaaa.
Time is running out,
Runaway (Runaway) (Runaway),
World is burning down.


Whoaaaaaa.
Time is running out,
Runaway (Runaway) (Runaway),
World is burning down.

Time is running out,
Runaway (Runaway) (Runaway),
World is burning down.


4. BURN ME DOWN

Born under the fire
An innocent child, pure-hearted and silent
The world is a fight
My everyday life
In war and strife

Went down to the wire
They said I was weak, told I was a liar
But once I begin I'll never give in
I'll make them believe in me

They can burn me down
But I'll never break, I'll be standing
Burn me down
But I'll never break, I'll be stronger
Now I'm alive

I'll show how I will rise
I'll never fall, I'll never fade
I'll never bow, I will never break

Mistreated and beaten
I won't eat the lies they're trying to feed me
Misled and hated
Torn up and wasted
I've lost my faith

Heart wounded and bleeding
Fighting 'til the end, I won't be defeated
Cause once I begin I'll never give in
I'll make them believe in me

They can burn me down
But I'll never break, I'll be standing
Burn me down
But I'll never break, I'll be stronger
Now I'm alive

I'll show how I will rise
I'll never fall, I'll never fade
I'll never bow, I will never break

They can burn me down
But I'll never break, I'll be standing
Burn me down
But I'll never break, I'll be stronger
Now I'm alive

I'll show how I will rise
I'll never fall, I'll never fade
I'll never bow, I will never break


5. LAST SHORE

I will call for you,
Said the man to the fool as he rode,
Out with his gold in his hand.
Finally I know the truth, thought the fool to himself,
I really understand.

Paradise calling me,
After life, eternity.
No more life, the divine set me free...

Gloria, (Gloria),
Is awaiting me there.
Gloria is my destiny.
Gloria, (Gloria),
Is awaiting me there.
Gloria is my destiny.

Many years have passed,
No one came, not a sign from the gods,
No one believes the end of the world.

Paradise calling me,
After life, eternity.
No more life, the divine set me free...

Gloria, (Gloria),
Is awaiting me there.
Gloria is my destiny.
Gloria, (Gloria),
Is awaiting me there.
Gloria is my destiny.
I come home...

Gloria!


6. KILL IT WITH FIRE

Alone in the prison I made of my mind
Like many mornings before
I stare in the ceiling until I go blind
It's hard to take anymore
I ask from the fools how they slumber away
With all the evil around
But no one can answer and no one can say
And there's no peace to be found

A slumbering demon awakes in the night an ocean away
If we are to live we will have to unite
Kill it with fire! Burning higher!

At five in the morning I'm drowning my fears
It seems the right thing to do
A blanket of calm in this valley of tears
Tomorrow rises anew

A slumbering demon awakes in the night an ocean away
If we are to live we will have to unite
Kill it with fire! Burning higher!

Like cockroaches baking in sunlight of day
The world is bustling along
While lawyers and bankers are nibbling away
We have to try to stay strong

A slumbering demon awakes in the night an ocean away
If we are to live we will have to unite
Kill it with fire! Burning higher!


7. OBLIVION

I've locked myself in silence
And kept denying
That you're already gone

Isolated in the darkness for too long
I'm still holding you before
You fade into oblivion

I can't save you
In the end we fall apart
Forgive me now
No matter how
Hard I try, you'll carry on
Please be waiting
We'll meet again beyond the stars
I'm not afraid
To embrace the end
Time has come to let you go
To oblivion

I‘m tired to fight this sadness on my own
I have waited way too long
To stand up and move on
Your decaying echo haunts me all the time
I'm afraid to say the last goodbyes
Cause you will be forever gone (to oblivion)

I can't save you
In the end we fall apart
Forgive me now
No matter how
Hard I try, you'll carry on
Please be waiting
We'll meet again beyond the stars
I'm not afraid
To embrace the end
Time has come to let you go

And leave our world behind
I still believe
You're within me
In memories
You'll be shining like a star
And lightning up the skies
I still believe
You're within me
In memories
Cause you were my only one

I can't save you
In the end we fall apart
Forgive me now
No matter how
Hard I try, you'll carry on
Please be waiting
We'll meet again beyond the stars
I'm not afraid
To face the end
Time has come to let you go

Now it's time to let you go
To oblivion
Now it's time to let you go
To oblivion


8. SECOND SIGHT

No one really knows
Where this man comes from
Or if he has a name

He moved from town to town
And forging his own way
Without shame he played his game

No allies and no friends
He leaves no traces bahind
There is no proof who's to blame

As the legend starts to rise
The night is filled with shadows
Blood and lies


Just like a phantom blends in the night
Making his way in the dark
He's realizing the end is near
Haunted by a curse

Second sight

Looking for more pain
Driving him insane
It's all that he is living for

Excitement in his veins
Burning every day
Fighting his internal war

As the legend starts to rise
The night is filled with shadows
Blood and lies


Second sight
Second sight
A phantom blends in the night
Making his way
Second sight


9. FIREBORN

I was born within a dream
And awoken by a thunderous scream
Fireborn, burning within
I can feel it burn under my skin

Hold my head up high
Tonight we're gonna fly
Be all that we can be
Go as far as we can see
fly high I'll tell you why
Tonight we take the sky

Fireborn

Chase the light, capture the star
As you race the night, be what you are
Fireborn call out your name
When you come with me we are the same

Hold my head up high
Tonight we're gonna fly
Be all that we can be
Go as far as we can see
Fly high I'll tell you why
Tonight we take the sky

Fireborn

Hold my head up high
Tonight we're gonna fly
Be all that we can be
Go as far as we can see
Fly high I'll tell you why
Tonight we take the sky

And now head up high
Tonight we're gonna fly
Be all that we can be
Go as far as we can see
Fly high I'll tell you why
Tonight we take the sky

Fireborn


10.GIANTS

Haven't you ever been drowning in sorrow?
In the morning,
Because you're never gonna fly.

So insignificant, waiting for daybreak,
With a heartache,
Under the black and evil sky.

Life is unfair,
And nobody cares,
But did you think for a moment that you are so rare?
We are the hope of a world in despair.

We stand on the shoulders of giants,
And we will carry this power to the skies.
We stand on the shoulders of giants,
And take a look inside of you,
Then you'll see your power too.

Look at your life and reflect on the magic,
That you're given,
From many kin you never met.

Life is unfair,
And nobody cares,
But did you think for a moment that you are so rare?
We are the hope of a world in despair.

We stand on the shoulders of giants,
And we will carry this power to the skies.
We stand on the shoulders of giants,
And take a look inside of you,
Then you'll see your power too.

We are the glory! We have the power!
We are the joy of a world without care!
We are the glory! We have the power!
We are the hope of a world in despair!

Did you think for a moment that you are so rare?

We stand on the shoulders of giants,
And we will carry this power to the skies.
We stand on the shoulders of giants,
And take a look inside of you,
Then you'll see your power too.


11. CASTAWAY

I've been lost far too long,
Need to find my way back home.
Dig a hole and hide inside,
Live to see the morning break.

Just a wayward soul,
Played the last card, lost it all.
All is gone but one remains,
In your hands I place my life.

Take me in,
Wash away the sin.
Make me whole again,
In your sanctuary.
Hideaway,
I'm your castaway.
Let me fall asleep,
Wake up to brighter day.

Take me in,
Wash away the sin.
Make me whole again,
In your sanctuary.
Hideaway,
I'm your castaway.
Let me fall asleep,
Wake up to brighter day.

Take me in,
Wash away...
Make me whole again,
In your sanctuary.
Hideaway,
I'm your castaway.
Let me fall asleep,
Wake up to brighter day.


12. OLD MAN AND THE SEA


Son, my father he said to me,
You only dream when you're young.
Some might think that he knew it well,
But I have proved him wrong.

Years have passed and I've grown old,
And time has taken its toll.
Though my days are soon over,
It feels life's just begun.

Just once more I sail the last sea,
Let the wind carry me home.
Close my eyes and take a deep breath,
In my soul I am forever young...

Just once more I sail the last sea,
Let the wind carry me home.
Close my eyes and take a deep breath,
In my soul I am forever young..


13. FANTASY

Reach a star, travel so far or find out
Who you really are
Climb a hill, learn a skill
All of your dreams you can fulfill
Take a dream, make it real
Don't let yourself give in to fear
Come with me you can make it anywhere

Sing along, to this song
And let it show that you're strong
Don't pretend, help a friend
They are with you until the end
You will see, you can be whatever you would like to be
Come with me you can make it anywhere

Fantasy, I want to meet you there
You will see, fantasy can become reality
Come with me, this is my fantasy
I believe, fantasy can become reality
Can you be my fantasy

Take your time
It's not a crime cause life it's always in it's prime
Show you care, if you dare
Because true friendship's really rare
Take a dream make it real
Don't let yourself give in to fear
Come with me you can make it anywhere

Fantasy, I want to meet you there
You will see, fantasy can become reality
Come with me, this is my fantasy
I believe, fantasy can become reality
Can you be my fantasy


14. SHINE IN THE DARK

When I was young and life had only just begun
The days were long and bright
So warm and full of light
I never knew that one day you would fade away
Your colors fade to gray
It seems like yesterday

Still you're shining in the dark
You're still safe within my heart
Where my memories lie and
I will follow you
Wherever you go

I am what you made of me
Your blood is my blood, and your heart is my heart
We are what we leave behind
An eternal stream
You flow through me

And I fear no more though you're gone
I know we'll meet again
I know you're there, still somewhere
You are waiting

You are the mystery that only I can know
The gentle wings that blow
The glitter on the snow
I never speak about you
Never say your name

It's not that I don't care
It's just that I'm not there

You're still gone and I'm still here
Yet I always feel you near
Wherever I go
Still you're shining in the dark
You're still safe within my heart
Wherever you are


And I fear no more though you're gone
I know we'll meet again
I know you're there, still somewhere
You are waiting


15. UNBREAKABALE

Reckless wheel of time, we follow how it flies by
We still keep believing in white and comforting lies.

When it's our turn, together we stay stronger
We lay still and silent and watch
How our world burns for eternity.

You carry me away, 'til 'morrow we're unbreakable
I hold my breath and wait, this moment is unbreakable
I can feel it deep within my heart and my soul
You make me whole.

I want to live this second forever
Always together, forevermore.

I hold my breath and wait.

Reckless wheel of life, we see how years keep flying by
I never really cared until I opened my eyes.

The final day awaits, and the firestorm's getting closer
Under falling stars we will seal our fate for eternity.

You carry me away, 'til 'morrow we're unbreakable
I hold my breath and wait, this moment is unbreakable
I can feel it deep within my heart and my soul,
You make me whole.
I want to live this second forever,
Always together, forevermore.

I hold my breath and wait 'til the end,
Until 'morrow we're unbreakable.

You carry me away, 'til 'morrow we're unbreakable
I hold my breath and wait, this moment is unbreakable
I can feel it deep within my heart and my soul,
You make me whole.
I want to live this second forever
Always together, forevermore.

We are stronger than ever, always together, forevermore.
We are stronger than ever, always together, forevermore.

I hold my breath and wait 'til the end
Until 'morrow we're unbreakable.


16. WINTER SKIES

Walking by a frozen lake
Silent snow in the air
Dreaming of the summer day
Carry me till I'm there

Winter skies, leave me alone
When I lose my way
Winter skies you call me home
Winter skies, leave me alone
When I lose my way
Winter skies you call me home

Bring me back when I am lost
Far from your embrace
Bring me silence, bring me frost
Your familiar face

Winter skies, leave me alone
When I lose my way, northern star
You call me home

Winter skies, leave me alone
When I lose my way
Northern land
You are my home

Winter skies, leave me alone
When I lose my way
Northern land
You are my home
