1. INTRO

(INSTRUMENTAL)


2. I WALK TO MY OWN SONG

I'm walking the streets and I hear what you say
Advising me tilling me how to play
I know your name it's called Mr.Mean
One thing I've learned you don't know beans

High I fly
I touch the sky
Far above the frozen hearts
You can't kill my dreams
You can't kill my spirit
I was born to be free

I walk to my own song
Every day the power grows stronger in me
I walk to my own song
Head up proud
I'm the master of my own destiny

You think you know what is better for me
Holding me lectures of how I should be
Shrugging my shoulders I leave you behind
Anyway I look at it you are blind


3. SPEED OF LIGHT

Today is just an other day
of my life too short to live
I should have some kind of meaning
a destiny to believe in
before I go to sleep

I find some pictures of a time
when everything was still so fine
although the years have passed by
I will give it all I have inside...everything

I'm away lost in my thoughts
everyday my life goes by
at the speed of light


4. KISS OF JUDAS

I hear footsteps closing in
I recognize them from my early days.
The times are different the image remains the same
Repeating back flashes remembering the name,
Approaching visions of things I can't recall,
A familiar smile awakes the pain
Unkept promises, the night awaits, the act of confidence

The kiss of Judas I feel the lips on my cheek
The kiss of Judas haunts me once again
In your privage chamber, you're all alone.

The well earned silver pieces falling to the floor
The flame of the candle casting movement to the wall
Your eyes filled with guilt keep staring at the door
Approaching visions of things I can't recall
A familiar smile awakes the pain
Unkept promises, the night awaits, the act of confidence

The kiss of Judas I feel the lips on my cheek
The kiss of Judas haunts me once again
Unkept promises, the night awaits, the act of confidence

The kiss of Judas I feel the lips on my cheek
The kiss of Judas haunts me once again
Unkept promises, the night awaits, the act of confidence

The kiss of Judas I feel the lips on my cheek
The kiss of Judas haunts me once again


5. DEEP UNKNOWN

Taking a chance
Go again
To the great unknown

Facing your fears and feel
what's on your mind when you're alone

Fall into the sea
So you will be free
Into the deep
You disappear

Dive deeper into the ocean
You'll find more about your emotions
As you go far beyond imaginary borderlines
Into the deep unknown---

Need to breath, might drown
You can't inhale
No one around, sliding down
Time passes by, you can not fail

As light fades away
There's so much to gain
You're holding on
It's not in vain

Dive deeper into the ocean
You'll find more about your emotions
As you go far beyond imaginary borderlines

Dive deeper into the ocean
You'll find more about your emotions
As you go far beyond imaginary borderlines

7. EAGLEHEART

All through the night he is lying awake
Wondering how much more can he take
Watching the walls where the shadows dance
Drifting away into a trance
And his eyes are blazing with fire

Dreams burnt to ashes so many times
Highest of mountains, still he climbs
Ready to fly, cause he just can't stay
Flame burning brighter with every day
And his eyes are blazing with fire
Longing for the deepest desire

Heart of an eagle
He flies through the rainbow
Into a new world and finds the sun
Spreading his wings
Above all the sorrows
The glory of Eagleheart

Fever is burning in his veins
Determined with courage, breaking the chains
Back against the wall under blood red skies
Prepared to fight until he dies
And his eyes are blazing with fire
Longing for the deepest desire

Heart of an eagle
He flies through the rainbow
Into a new world and finds the sun
Spreading his wings
Above all the sorrows
The glory of Eagleheart

Heart of an eagle
He flies through the rainbow
Into a new world and finds the sun
Spreading his wings
Above all the sorrows
The glory of Eagle Heart


8. PARADISE

Late at night I find myself again wondering and watching TV.
I can't believe what is on the screen, something that I wouldn't care to see.
Many rare species will perish soon and we will be short on food.
Why do we have to be so selfish? We've got to change our attitude.

I know that I am not the only one that's worried,
Why don't we all wake up and realize?

Like the birds in the sky we are flying so high,
Without making any kind of sacrifice.
We've got so little time to undo this crime or we'll lose our Paradise.

It seems to me that there's no sense at all, nobody cares it's always the same.
Mother nature's crying out in pain, we're the one's to blame.

I know that I am not the only one that's worried,
Why don't we all wake up and realize?

Like the birds in the sky we are flying so high,
Without making any kind of sacrifice.
We've got so little time to undo this crime or we'll lose our Paradise.

Like the birds in the sky we are flying so high,
Without making any kind of sacrifice.
We've got so little time to undo this crime or we'll lose our Paradise.

Like the birds in the sky we are flying so high,
Without making any kind of sacrifice.
We've got so little time to undo this crime or we'll lose our Paradise.

Like the birds in the sky we are flying so high,
Without making any kind of sacrifice.
We've got so little time to undo this crime or we'll lose our Paradise.


9. VISIONS

I have seen the future of mankind,
The wisdom of my prophecies you'll find.
Follow the truth and be careful, are we the last?

Hundred years has passed what have we done,
Inconceivable damage under the sun.
I think it's too late to change the man - we are the last.

The world keeps turning while people yearn for more,
Mother nature is crying for change,
The time will come when we all must pay for what we have done,
Are you prepared for that?

As we are reaching the end of the century
There's message we can send,
Be strong and bold and never lose your mind
'cause we are the last.

The world keeps turning while people yearn for more,
Mother nature is crying for change,
the time will come when we all must pay for what we have done,
Are you prepared for that?

Signs of the end I see,
Let them hear my voice in every corner of the world,
Take heed of the warnings that I give,
I have seen the Southern Cross forming in the sky.

"There shall be heard in the air the noise of weapons
and in the same year the divines shall be enemies.
They shall unjustly put down the holy laws
and by thunder and war, true believers shall die"
[Nostradamus: Century I V:43]

"For forty years the rainbow shall not appear
For forty years it shall be seen every day
The parched earth shall wax drier every day
And a great flood when it shall appear"
[Nostradamus: Century I:17]

After us the road goes on forever
Many changes lie along the path
That's the price we pay for our selfishness
We are headed for the end

"From the skies shall come the powerful kind
Before and after the Mars reigns at will
Not far from the great age of Millennium
Buried ones shall come out of their graves"
[Nostradamus: Century X:72, 74]

When the comet tears out the sky
You and I must die
After all this the time will come for the chosen ones
To rise from their graves to be free again

The beast is gone forever, there's no more pain
Instead so many things for us to attain
The sun is shining brightly after the rain
The land is green and full of life again

The sorrows wiped away now
It's time to smile
And learn from the past
Together we will try

"Twenty years of reign of the moon having past
Seven thousand years another shall hold his monarchy
When the sun shall resume his days past
Then is fulfilled and ends my prophecy"
[Nostradamus:century 1:48)

11. COMING HOME

I wake up in the morning so far away from home,
trying to make it through the day.
Many miles are between us, I'm sending my love from this payphone.
Through the storms we've wandered, many mountains we have climbed
but all the bad times are behind.
The road is free -
I'm coming Home.
Without you I am like a ship without it's sails, calling the wind to save me.
I'd climb the highest mountain,
I'd cross the seven seas just to see your smile again.
All the trust that was built along the years is coming back to stay I know.
Just look ahead the road is free -
I'm coming Home.
With every step I'm closer to home, when I'm back you won't be alone.
Soon I'll see the familiar door before my eyes and you.

1. LEGIONS OF THE TWILIGHT

Far in the core of the earth,
First it was given birth.
We heard the call the message was so clear.
The tracks were laid for the future to come.

Sons and daughters of the Rising Sun,
The armies in Europe here we come.
We run like the wind, we play from the heart,
Now we are here together we sing.

Faster than light,
Higher than the sky,
Tonight we're together again.
We never give up, never give in,
Stronger than steel
We're the legions of the twilight.

Battle of the day

We survived the hard times,
Never accepted the lies,
You run like the wind, you sing from the heart.
Now that we're here together we'll sing.

Faster than light...
Higher than the sky,
Tonight we're together again.
We never give up, never give in,
Stronger than steel
We're the legions of the twilight.

Battle of the day

When we have to go back home again,
We'll keep the mem'ries we gained inside our hearts.

[2x]
Faster than light,
Higher than the sky,
Tonight we're together again.
We never give up, never give in,
Stronger than steel
We're the legions of the twilight

Battle of the day
Battle of the day

Legions of the twilight
Legions of the twilight

Raise your hands for us!


2. DARKEST HOURS

These frantic memories
They bring me down, tormenting peace
The darkness drowns me
I'm restless without sleep
When day breaks, I'm still awake,
I recall my mistakes

I'll be never alone, never again, never alone,
I'll be never alone, never again, never alone...

When all my hope is gone,
I'm waiting for the dawn
I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark
I've left my past behind
I'm reaching for the light
I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine.

I'll make my way through the darkest hours of my days!

Those frozen memories
Laid out for me, all I can see
The night surrounds me
Destroying harmony
What lies beneath, demise in me
I've lost my purity

I'll be never alone, never again, never alone,
I'll be never alone, never again, never alone...

When all my hope is gone,
I'm waiting for the dawn
I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark
I've left my past behind
I'm reaching for the light
I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine.

I'll make my way through the darkest hours of my days!

When all my hope is gone,
I'm waiting for the dawn
I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark
I've left my past behind
I'm reaching for the light
I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine.

When all my hope is gone,
I'm waiting for the dawn
I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark
I leave my past behind
I'm reaching for the light

I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine.
I'll make my way through the darkest hours of my days!



3.BURN (DEEP PURPLE COVER)

The sky is red, I don't understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are sayin' the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand

The city's a blaze, the town's on fire
The woman's flames are reaching higher
We were fools, we called her liar
All I hear is "Burn!"

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return "
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared

Earth was shakin', we stood and stared
When it came no one was spared
Still I hear "Burn!"

You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time
You know we had no time
We could



4. BIHIND BLUE EYES (THE WHO COVER)

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes


5. 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

7. BLACK DIAMOND

Again I see you standing there watching me.
Your gaze, those eyes are tantalizing openly, inviting me to get close to you,
can't help myself.

There's fascination in the air.
I try to fight this strong sensation but there's no chance to escape
from this temptation.

Feels like I've known you before, repeating phrases,
but I yearn for something more.

I know I can't stay by your side forever,
but I know I won't forget your beauty,
my Black Diamond.



8. FATHER TIME

Walking down the path that leads me to my memories
Pacing all the way without a care in my stride
Where are the friends of my yesterday
have they moved on with they lives
Can we still laugh and joke about things like before

There's no need to hide the past that I have left behind
It's a good resource somewhere for me to find
Why am I waiting for someone to reach out
it should be all up to them
keeping in touch ain't that easy but I'll have to try

Where have all the years gone
that's what I am asking now
What have I learnt so far
tell me Father Time - tell me now

Now I understand I'll take from time what I need
And I store it inside it's there for me to find
I can't deny that the years will pass by
but it won't bother me
Coz now I will set out to realize my dream

Where have all the years gone
that's what I am asking now
What have I learnt so far
tell me Father Time - tell me now



9. HUNTING HIGH AND LOW

I feel the wind in my hair
And it's whispering, telling me things
Of the storm that is gathering near
Full of power I'm spreading my wings

Now I'm leaving my worries behind
Feel the freedom of body and mind
I am starting my journey, I'm drifting away with the wind
I go

I am Hunting High and Low
Diving from the sky above
Looking for, more and more, once again
I'm Hunting High and Low
Sometimes I may win sometimes I'll lose
It's just a game that I play

After the storm there's a calm
Through the clouds shines a ray of the sun
I am carried from all of my harm
There is no one that I can't outrun

Now I'm leaving my worries behind
Feel the freedom of body and mind
I am starting my journey, I'm drifting away with the wind
I go

I am Hunting High and Low
Diving from the sky above
Looking for, more and more, once again
I'm Hunting High and Low
Sometimes I may win sometimes I'll lose
It's just a game that I play

That would be all...
Be sure to hear from me again
