1. FROM ICEPLAINS TO BLACK STORMS (INTRO)

('instrumental)


2. HEADLESS REDEEMERS

Come with me, I show you secrets they don´t know
You´re so lost and lonely deep within
Open your heart and let it breathe just for a while
Before your dark intentions turn to sin

Martyr´s born – Ripped and torn
Take his hand and see the light, noone wants to be denied
Seal your fate – Just Integrate
You don´t have to feel so low, so welcome to the show!

Fate brings all these messengers of light
But they´re Headless Redeemers
Endless price we pay! Dark dreams in our hearts
Will make the whole world fall down!

Take a look down at the city of the damned
Nothing but deceivers everywhere
You´re well rehearsed, so die for me and die for you
Look down at the city of despair!

[Bridge]
[Refrain]

Lightning striking through the day
Blizzards rumbling born of hate
Dying creatures pay the price
A hardened heart lost in the ice!
Never believe what you wish for
Never believe what you say…
…Fire below, welcome to the show!

[Refrain] (2x)


3. FLAME OF MOURNING

Waking up, my body aches – Deep down it´s cold
Listen to the stormy calm – So young but old
Rise and ask my inner self, can I stand this one more day?
Million lives if this is ordered, we´re here to stay!

Bluring the paintings in the blood (before the night is over)
Crushing the dreamcrystals of light, we carry on
Raise your pride, to this hell you belong…you belong!

The Flame of Mourning lights through the dark
It takes us to the other side! Again, again and again!
So tame we´re following, so blind our hearts!
Life enslaves us, bound to die!
Flame of Mourning burns!

Wonder if my time will come, if hope is lost
Hope to find my way in honour – by any cost!

I know you´ll taste my blood forever more
Until I reach the shore!

[Refrain]

I leave this world behind
Your screams has blown my mind
I think it´s time to change
To kill the urge!

I cry…Blood Tears…

[Refrain]

The Flame of Mourning…still burns!


4. STORMBRINGER

Tasting the sun as I wait for the battle
Deep in the forests the tyrants will die
Varus had trust me, still keeping his treasure
But all will be robbed, I am taking Rome´s pride!

No chance for light, it´s time to die
The Romans will be defeated
You saw the signs when you crossed the Rhine
Your world empire´s not here!

I´m the Stormbringer, ruling your night
You travel in darkness, out of light!
I´m the Stormbringer, emperor´s fright!
I´m coming to get you, time is right! …Stormbringer

Father in law holds the key to betrayal
Leading our tribes to discordia´s arms
Call to our strength, rising up from the ashes
Banish the world from our godgiven home

No chance for light, it´s time to die
Your world empire´s not here!

[Refrain]

Lead them to unknown ground
Wait then order to attack
Time for victoria´s near
Come with me, storm with me!

You saw the signs when you crossed the rhine
Your world empire´s not here!...Yeah!

[Refrain] (2x)


5. DRAGONFIRE

On blackened towers throning
The Dragon waits for prey
Watching survivors roaming
Damned ´til the end of days!

Two cities, fog divides – Rivals in bloody fights
Never will beg down cause magic is in town!
Secret weapons in hidden chambers rising up
And you will taste their breath on you…

“Burn them to the ground!” the magician said
“Green flames lead to black end”
And their wings were full of genocidal lies
Noone will survive!

So the dragons flew, my friend
You surely know the answer
The answer to the question how this story ends!

As they left nothing but ruins, they slowly turned their heads
Who is the slave, who´s the master, when the slave attacks?

In Dragonfire
Souls beyond fear as we march, we start the doom from our hands
In Dragonfire
Endless are tears as we march through dark
We´ll die by his power!

Unnumbered lifes erased, when flesh to ashes fade
Winged assassins fly, unholy time to die!
Turn the lights out, don´t make a sound, don´t move at all
Else you will taste their breath on you…

“Burn them to the ground!” the magician said
“Green flames lead to black end”

So the dragons flew, my friend
You surely know the answer
The answer to the question how this story ends!

As they left nothing but ruins, they slowly turned their heads

[Refrain]

Driven by the citylights
Triumphant they came to fight
And the raging and the killing and the sound
Watch us burning in the end!

As they left nothing but ruins, they slowly turned their heads

[Refrain]


6. THUNDER TIMES

Hot concrete, ready to explode
Light in the darkness, drop in the sand
Let it go!

Breaking chains, reject the end
Proud as a lion, searching for feast
Golden dawn in mind!

I ride the sky – Waiting for that mighty roar
Will you defy – It´s the chance to live for
No time to rest, just time to run!

Thunder Times, let the world be mine
Let them toss away our tears
We´ll stand together (all together)!
Under sign of the velvet line
Between mad and genius here
We´ll die together!

Loneliness is just a word, won´t you spell it just for me?
Shout it out, it won´t be heard
Keep on counting signs of liberty!

[Bridge]
[Refrain]

Don´t you try to drag me down, seems like you´re alone…
Kind confessions won´t heal you
Heading for the thunder, Thunder Times…!

Ohohoh…

[Refrain] (2x)


7. BURNING THE GATES

Legal crimes won´t get me high – Cross the borderline
Cool ember gripped my heart – This life is mine
You won´t seal my destiny–Go away–I´m running free!
Never had the plan to be the next in line!

Only one love can be real – Only one thing I can feel!
Do not dare to stop me!
Heading for infinity – And tame some hellhounds with a smile!

Burning the Gates – and ride to hell and back!
Let flow the moments through your heart
Burning the Gates – each second new attacks!
Meet evil creatures on the road to the black

So many times the fever came and it boiled my blood
Roaming restlessly, don´t act a part
Never said Goodbye to you, once or twice I wanted to
My time is running fast, so I better start!

[Bridge/Refrain]

Left or right – I can´t decide which way to go
When the distant seems so near
Close my eyes and breathe the air, I always wanted to!
Taste the dust, it gets me through!

[Refrain] (2x)


8. ICEFALL

Damn, this trip is far too long
Like a neverending song
Try to push stop, it carries on!
I fly, to the deep and blue and cold I fly
Hope I´ll ever sty alone, frozen dust I´ll be reborn!

Don´t sight! Your tears fall down to die in vain
Is it strange I feel the same?
Scars on my icy heart
And why can´t you help me with my pain?
Freezing blood, won´t shed a drop
Winter puts me up!

In Icefall the ice calls – I cry in the cold
A destiny´s chosen in longing and doubt
In Icefall the ice calls – I´ll die in the cold
These nightmares were frozen, now start to melt out!

Lived my life with someone else
Told him stories, told her tales
Sometimes beggin´ for cross and nails!
Denied! Left behind, redemption won´t take long
Hope that you´ll leave me alone, frozen dust I´ll be reborn!
…Salvation won´t take long!

[Refrain]

You better run for your lifes – When the cold has locked your tears
The winter´s sun blackened light – Gonna open all your fears
...you go down!

[Refrain]
+ In Icefall…Feel´s like I´m home!
In Icefall… I am reborn!


9. THE DARK SIDE

After this adventure the breath will stop for sure
Simplicity, maniacal, salvation nevermore
Superficial tyranny, ignoring all the signs
Now is now, so now or never! Come and light my light!

Hollow soul is cancer, a vulnerable dancer
What does it mean for me, lay down here in apathy

So lie to me, innocence has lost belief
So lie to me, suck me dry! Please suck me dry!

It´s the dark side – Blackened fate lost in here beyond the damned
Tears of blood behind cold eyes
My last try – Endless hate, secret fear of sinner´s hand
Tears had crushed into the night...

Please close my eyes, little hellish heaven
Daylight identifies! Christ, what have I become?
A kind of release, a kind of evil change with no return
I can´t stand and I can´t bare me, evermore…evermore

[Refrain]

Dark illusions drag me down like hell
Dirty little demons, total loss of feelings
Dying enlessly – It´s the dark side, can´t you see...?

Never saw what you have seen
Never dreamt forbidden dreams
Never realized that this is not what it may sometimes seems!

Never tried to let you go
Never said I need you so
Never saw the dark side like I did when you left with the crows!

[Refrain]


10. ETERNAL DREAMLESS SLEEP

This – neverending pain, constant mind-depression
How can you allow my suffering?
So sick of life, named endless nightmare
Have to get away, the saddest ending!

Won´t you see this world through my bleeding eyes?
Living every day on the edge of time
I am so alone, I´m scared to death
Cold emotions, undefined!

Chose my way to escape – I´m the master
Show no fear, no more inside torn apart
No beating heart!

Damnation all around, I live in hell
See stranger visions every day
I can´t wait achieving peace of mind
It´s just a tiny sin away

[Bridge]

Into the silence – Night without morning
Gliding Times – Eternal Dreamless Sleep
Infinite Diamond – Destiny´s warning
Farewell rhymes – Eternal dreamless sleep

No pathetics anymore – Lunatic tonight
Sick asylum, shut the door – Time is right
Run in circles – This will come as a release
Pull the trigger – Let it loose, unleash the Beast!

Got my family out there – They´ll understand
Got no power left here
To keep searching for a friend

I am one with the earth – One with the tide
Will you see me once again
On a better side? Hear…

Cries of time – The world grows colder around me
Cries of time – And I die in the ruins
Cries of time – The world grows colder around me
Cries of time – And I die in the ruins, die in the ruins, die in the ruins
…without you!

Claiming voice inside me
Far away from society
Lost souls paving my way
Where will you be in a thousand years?

Never will go astray
Gone the times in anxiety
Look at me
Where will you be in a thousand years?

Release my wish from the dark
And face the blood of my heart
From earth to immortal skies
So free from untiring lies

And I rise to die for
And I cry at night´s shore (2x)

[Refrain]

I´m burning, I´m yearning, I´m learning, I need you, I need you, I…
