1. MARCH OF THE ARGONAUTS

(Instrumental)


2. FEAR THE FORCE

Fear the force

The land was stark and bare
A veil of blackest night
Disguised our deep despair
We lived in danger here
Under a shadow of fear

But then the stranger came
He spoke in ancient tongue
His task was pre-ordained
He broke the sacred seal
Upon a box he revealed

And in the still of night
His incantations lit up the sky
They mesmerized us
And from the shapes they formed
Emerged the great unicorn
His bare back rider on the storm

As day and night were born
The yin and yang were torn
They sail a chartered course
Each as the purest source
Of darkness and of light
In their eternal fight
The dragon knows his claws
Can’t touch the unicorn
Fear the force

A single ray of light
Disturbed the dragon’s sleep
The time has come to fight
He knew his Nemesis
As it appeared from the mist

White lightning from the sky
Struck at the beast as it turned to fly
The titan cried out
Then as the Sage foretold
From black and white came the whole
As natural balance was restored

As day and night were born
The yin and yang were torn
They sail a chartered course
Each as the purest source
Of darkness and of light
In their eternal fight
The dragon knows his claws
Can’t touch the unicorn
Fear the forceFear the force

As day and night were born
The yin and yang were torn
They sail a chartered course
Each as the purest source
Of darkness and of light
In their eternal fight
The dragon knows his claws
Can’t touch the unicorn
Fear the force

As day and night were born
The yin and yang were torn
They sail a chartered course
Each as the purest source
Of darkness and of light
In their eternal fight
The dragon knows his claws
Can’t touch the unicorn
Fear the force

Fear the force
Fear the force


3. INSIDE THE PYRAMID OF LIFE

Ouh, down, down, down

The warm desert winds
Caress and touch her skin tonight
The stars light her face
Celestial embrace tonight
The Queen she bathed in incense
Her daddy’s little princess
Like the Nile, she’s a sacred river
I’m like a beast to the slaughter
Gods could not have taught her what she knows
When she’s in control

Down, down, down
I dared to look into her eyes
Deeper than my soul
She read the great book of lovers
Cover page to cover
Spins me like a top tonight

Inside the pyramid of light
She’ll put the desert in your soul
She is the isthmus
Standing in her light
Away into the night we go

Inside the pyramid of light
Within the myriad of hold
My Cleopatra, timeless as the Nile
Mysterious and wild tonight
Inside the pyramid of light

I came from the North
With legions and a cause to fight
But tall city walls
Could not resist the force tonight
The moment that I kissed her
“My Anthony” she whispered
When she spoke it was sweet and low
“Just treat your heart as a weakness
Hide it with the things you never show
Never let them know”

Down, down, down
I dared to look into her eyes
Deeper than my soul
She read the great book of lovers
Cover page to cover
Spins me like a top tonight

Inside the pyramid of light
She’ll put the desert in your soul
She is the isthmus
Standing in her light
Away into the night we go

Inside the pyramid of light
Within the myriad of hold
My Cleopatra, timeless as the Nile
Mysterious and wild tonight
Inside the pyramid of light

Oh, baby
I’m waiting for you, child
???

Inside the pyramid of light
She’ll put the desert in your soul
She is the isthmus
Standing in her light
Away into the night we go

Inside the pyramid of light
Within the myriad of hold
My Cleopatra, timeless as the Nile
Mysterious and wild tonight
Inside the pyramid of light

Deeper than my soulI’m waiting for you, baby
I’m waiting for you, child


4. SPELLBOUND

Midnight chimes and the full moon climbs
But the clock is not alone
Something stirs in the west wing tower
Passion undiscovered isn’t flesh and bone
Until you turn it on

I wake up when my sweat turns cold
And she’s calling out my name
For there in the room like a strange apparition
Stands the kind of woman who can ease my pain
I just can’t fight it alone

Spellbound
In the breathless heat of night I’m falling
Spellbound
By the supernatural love I’ve found
Spellbound
For with every beat my heart is calling
Can you feel my desire
This restless soul

Her every touch turns me on so much
Every kiss time and time again
And when she moves every curve is a vision
Now I know I never want tonight to end
My fantasy, my reality

Spellbound
In the breathless heat of night I’m falling
Spellbound
By the supernatural love I’ve found
Spellbound
For with every beat my heart is calling
Can you feel my desire
This restless soul

Spellbound
In the breathless heat of night I’m falling
Spellbound
When the power of love comes crashing down
Spellbound
When she brings me to my knees I’m crawling
Putting fuel on the fire
She takes control

She’s by my side when the cruel sunrise
Makes me watch her melt away
But we can be together if it takes until forever
Lady, I’ll be waiting when the daylight fades

Lady, I’ll be waiting when the daylight fades
And night falls, I’m not alone

Spellbound
In the breathless heat of night I’m falling
Spellbound
By the supernatural love I’ve found
Spellbound
For with every beat my heart is calling
Can you feel my desire
This restless soul

Spellbound
In the breathless heat of night I’m falling
Spellbound
When the power of love comes crashing down
Spellbound
When she brings me to my knees I’m crawling
Putting fuel on the fire
This flesh and bone, yeah

This flesh and bone


5. WE RULE THE NIGHT

We rule the night
We rule by day
For we believe in
Time-honoured ways
We fight for truth
That peace may reign
We hold the scales of justice
Keepers of the faith

We rule the night
Ten thousand voices
We rule the night
Like tameless horses

We rule the night
With fire and flame
Those who resist us
Lie in our wake
So sound asleep
Our children dream
Safe in the arms of something
Far beyond belief

This flag is battletorn
We rule the night
We conquered by the sword
We rule the night
From the dark to the light we roar
Like a thunderstorm
We rule the night

Our sacred race was born
We rule the night
Immortal dogs of war
We rule the night
And we stand by the oath we swore
‘Till the last one falls
We rule the night

We rule the night
Protect our homes
Pure were the righteous
Against our foes
Our blades are stained
Their blood remains
As a remembrance
Of the lives we had to take

To rule the night
This rock of ages
We rule the night
As battle rages
We rule the night

This flag is battletorn
We rule the night
We conquered by the sword
We rule the night
From the dark to the light we roar
Like a thunderstorm
We rule the night

Our sacred race was born
We rule the night
Immortal dogs of war
We rule the night
And we stand by the oath we swore
‘Till the last one falls
We rule the night

This flag is battletorn
We rule the night
We conquered by the sword
We rule the night
From the dark to the light we roar
Like a thunderstorm
We rule the night

Our sacred race was born
We rule the night
Immortal dogs of war
We rule the night
And we stand by the oath we swore
‘Till the last one falls
We rule the night

To the brave that have gone before
To the yet unborn
We rule the night

We rule the night


6. REMEMBERANCE FOR THE BRAVES

The mist rolling in
From the lochs to the Spey
Will rise from the valleys
As the dawn comes again
We stand here together
And prepare for the fray
When today could leave
Our history in flames

I look on the faces
That oppression has grayed
The scars deep within
That mark a lifetime in chains
The stark legacies of
A nation have changed
As the history book begins
Another page

The strong urge to fight
That was never overcome
The spirit burning bright
That we shielded from the Huns
The lost mother tongue
Never spoken in the light
Will echo in their ears
Tonight

For now the last cry of battle
Has returned to the glens
And the clan fires are burning
In the highlands again
We’ll fight ‘till the flag of
Freedom flies overhead
And the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
When the colour of the battlefield is red

From east where the mountains meet
The sea to the west
We are legion united by
The cause from the rest
They won’t find us wanting
When our steel’s to the test
I know every man and boy
Will give his best

We stare with defiance
And our eyes are ablaze
We will kill any man who tries
To stand in our way
We’ll cut out their hearts and send them
Back where they came
And our claymores will send them
To the grave

They can’t turn the tide
Now the battle has begun
The devil take the man
When his soul is on the run
The land will return to her long
Forgotten sons
To cherish in our hearts
Tonight

For now the last cry of battle
Has returned to the glens
And the clan fires are burning
In the highlands again
It’s time for the million cast aside
To be free
For we’ll drive oppression back
Into the sea

We’ll die for the children
And wives we defend
And the lives and the memories of
The proud-hearted men
We’ll fight ‘till the flag of
Freedom flies overhead
And the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
When the colour of the battlefield is red

For now the last cry of battle
Has returned to the glens
And the clan fires are burning
In the highlands again
We’ll fight ‘till the flag of
Freedom flies overhead
And the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
When the colour of the battlefield is red

For now the last cry of battle
Has returned to the glens
And the clan fires are burning
In the highlands again
It’s time for the million cast aside
To be free
For we’ll drive oppression back
Into the sea

We’ll die for the children
And wives we defend
And the lives and the memories of
The proud-hearted men
We’ll fight ‘till the flag of
Freedom flies overhead
‘Till the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
And the colour of the battlefield is red


7. RED

The mist rolling inform the lochs to the Spey
Will rise from the valleys as the dawn comes again
We stand here together and prepare for the fray
When today could leave our history in flames

I look on the faces that oppression has greyed
The scars deep within that marks a lifetimes in chains
The stark legacies of a nation have changed
As the history book begins another page

The strong urge to fight that was never overcome
The spirit burning bright that we shielded from the Huns
The lost mother tongue never spoken in the light
Will echo in their ears tonight

For now the last cry of battle has returned to the gems
The clan fires are burning in the highlands again
We'll fight 'till the flag of freedom flies overhead
'Till the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
And the color of the battlefield is red

From east where the mountains meet the sea to the west
We are will kill any man who tries to stand in our way
We'll cut out their hearts and send them back where they came
For our claymores will send them to the grave

They can't turn the tide, now the battles has begun
The devil take the man, when his soul is on the run
The land will return to her long forgotten sons
To cherish in our hearts tonight

For now the last cry of battle has returned to the gems
The clan fires are burning in the highlands again
It's time for the million cast aside to be free
For we'll drive oppression back into the sea
We'll die for the children and the wives we defend
The lives and the memories of the proud-hearted men
We'll fight 'till the flag of freedom flies overhead
'Till the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
And the color of the battlefield is red


8. THE ALCHEMIST

Like a satellite
Breaking orbit to the sun
So another day is over
And the night has just begun
For in his timeless eyes
There is so much to be done
When the past is just a memory
And the future’s yet to come

His castle on the mountain
Shades the land below
But no-one dares to doubt him
For not so long ago

The Alchemist looked down
From towers above this town
He summoned forth the lightning
Brought it crashing to the ground
The power in his hands
Cast a shadow on this land
Earth, water, fire and air
Succumb and bow to his command
Old Malachi stands the last in line
The secrets with him die
He lives his life protecting what he can
An honest man

He shines brighter light
Than you’ve ever known before
He protected us for centuries
Delivered us from war
Because of Malachi
There’s a haven from the storm
There’s a place we can discover
What the future has in store

But such fear surrounds the fortress
That no-one ever goes
For there you’ll find the sorcerer
The centuries have known

The Alchemist looked down
From towers above this town
He summoned forth the lightning
Brought it crashing to the ground
The power in his hands
Cast a shadow on this land
Earth, water, fire and air
Succumb and bow to his command
Old Malachi stands the last in line
The secrets with him die
He lives his life protecting what he can
An honest man

His castle on the mountain
Shades the land below
But no-one dares to doubt him
For not so long ago

The Alchemist looked down
From towers above this town
He summoned forth the lightning
Brought it crashing to the ground
The power in his hands
Cast a shadow on this land
Earth, water, fire and air
Succumb and bow to his command
Old Malachi stands the last in line
The secrets with him die
He lives his life protecting what he can

The Alchemist looked down
From towers above this town
He summoned forth the lightning
Brought it crashing to the ground
The power in his hands
Cast a shadow on this land
Earth, water, fire and air
Succumb and bow to his command
Old Malachi stands the last in line
The secrets with him die
He lives his life protecting what he can
An honest man

An honest man


9. WONDERLAND

It’s not always what we planned
Sometimes our broken dreams are
Far away lands
Never knowing where we stand
We’re holding on to something
Burning our hands

Didn’t we run before we walked
Nothing designed to break our fall
So don’t you understand
Time is an ocean
And every life a grain of sand

Daybreak crossed a morning sky
Too late for the tears you cried
It’s not always in your hands
For time alone can understand it all
In Wonderland

It burns like fire, shines like gold
It pays to listen to your
Heart and your soul
For we are stronger than we know
So if you find true love then
Never let go

We’re not at liberty to force
The evolutionary course
So don’t you understand
Love is the potion, yeah
But there are those who taste it all

Daybreak crossed a morning sky
Too late for the tears you cried
It’s not always in your hands
For time alone can understand it all
In Wonderland

Someday this will all subside
You wake, then you’ll realize
It’s not always in your hands
For time alone can understand it all
In Wonderland

Don’t you understand
I’ll be your shoulder
And I will answer when you call
When you call

Daybreak crossed a morning sky
Too late for the tears you cried
It’s not always in your hands
For time alone can understand it all
In Wonderland

Someday this will all subside
You wake, then you’ll realize
It’s not always in your hands
For time alone can understand it all
In Wonderland


10. ECLIPSE

So tell me what in the world

We chart the lands of make-believe
We proved the earth was flat
Masters of the briny deep
Clear skies to rough and stormy seas
I’ve seen most everything
But tonight’s a mystery

Suddenly the moon began to disappear
Just a ring of fire remained
Swallowed in the sky, this black unsleeping eye
Watching a world away

(What in the world has happened here?)
Midsummer’s moon has disappeared
(What in the world has happened here?)
This evil source is drawing near
(What in the world has happened here?)
These things I can’t explain
(What in the world?)
Yeah

Our listless sails have lost the wind
We’re prey to anything
Every sound is deafening
Whatever stirred the restless deep
Began by surfacing
Miles away and closing in

As they went away the waves begin again
Growing with intensity
There on the horizon loomed our fatal destiny
Yeah

(What in the world has happened here?)
This crystal ball sees only tears
(What in the world has happened here?)
So unprepared to face our fears
(What in the world has happened here?)
Braced for the tidal wave
(What in the world?)
Oh, this fatal miracle?No, yeah

(What in the world has happened here?)
Midsummer’s moon has disappeared
(What in the world has happened here?)
This evil source is drawing near
(What in the world has happened here?)
These things I can’t explain
(What in the world?)
Don’t tell me what in the world

(What in the world has happened here?)
No, yeah
This crystal ball sees only tears
(What in the world has happened here?)
I surrender, I surrender
(What in the world has happened here?)
We’re not prepared to face our fears
(What in the world?)
Oh


11. THE PHANTOM

This is my legacy of pain
Condemned to darkness for a thousand years
I thought I’ve learned I can disguise my tears
Inside the memory lingers on

Out on the cliffs I watch the waves
Incessant pounding like my funeral drum
Now every semblance of my heart is gone
They show how empty I’ve become

I wasn’t ready
My lifetime on God’s earth had only begun
I was the victim of
Death’s catastrophic mistake

No man sees the hands of the clock
When his moment has come
It’s not death that he fears
No man ever knows what he’s got
Till he can’t see the light for the tears
Tears

She was the one I lost in vain
She was the love I left behind that day
There were so many things I didn’t say
I’ll never have the chance again

I feel the rain upon my face
It just can’t wash away a thousand years
And though I try so hard to hide my tears
Inside your memory lingers on

I wasn’t ready
I thought that my life here had only begun
There was too much in my life
Just to take it away

No man sees the hands of the clock
When his moment has come
It’s not death that he fears
No man ever knows what he’s got
Till he can’t see the light for the tears
Tears

Your memory lingers on

Oh

No man sees the hands of the clock
When his moment has come
It’s not death that he fears
No man ever knows what he’s got
Till he can’t see the light for the tears

No man sees the hands of the clock
When his moment has come
It’s not death that he fears
No man ever knows what he’s got
Till he can’t see the light for the tears
Tears

I feel the rain upon my face
I just can’t wash away a thousand years
And though I try so hard to hide my tears
Inside your memory lingers on


12. TILL THE END OF TIME

Girl I love you more than words can say
If I lost you then my heart would break
You are part of every breath I take
‘Till the end of time

Girl I never want this night to end
You’re my everything, my only friend
I will never love this way again
‘Till the end of time

End of time
End of time
I love you so
I can’t let go
No I wouldn’t even try
So tonight
Don’t you cry
This heart and soul
You have and hold
‘Till the end of time

There are moments in our nights and days
When the world can seem so far away
Here beside you where I want to stay
‘Till the end of time

It’s your love I’ve got that sees me through
Girl I want to caress and possess you
If you asked me then I’d have to choose
‘Till the end of time

End of time
End of time
I love you so
I can’t let go
You mean more to me than life
So tonight
You and I
We two as one
This love goes on
‘Till the end of time

I love you so
No matter where you go
‘Till the end of time

This love goes on forever
No matter where you go
No.
