As Above So Below
05:42
|

You’d always been a knight of swords
But then you’re blinded by the demon’s blood
I hold the future in my hands
So follow my lead I will show the path
Don’t let superstition slowly shut your vision down
Just find your way out
Don’t make wrong decisions
Time is running out for you
Just cross the line!
Let me tell you an ancient story
about a man been seeking out for gold
A thousand years of alchemy
but he’s not losing any single hope
Endless circulation is the maze where I got lost
There’s no way out, no!
Road to desperation
Carves a new mark on my heart
I’ve crossed the lake of virgin tears
I’ve heard the tolling of the final bell
From Purgatory to the depths of hell
So hear my words: I've been to everywhere
Sign of crucifixion appeared before my very eyes
I’m on my own now
There’s no destination
For a man with a hopeless heart
As above so below, who can tell the reason why?
No place to run, no place to hide
As above so below, you've been waiting for the sign
Now there's more than meets the eye
You will see the seven ravens flying in the sky
Hear their stories all night long – waking your demons
By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes
Hell is waiting here for you – there's no way out
(Solo: DT/Both)
As above so below, who can tell the reason why?
No place to run, no place to hide
As above so below, you've been waiting for the sign
Now there's more than meets the eye
You will see the seven ravens, pointing out the signs of danger
Never turn your back to evil eyes
In your darkest dreams you see the beast is rising to the glory
Hold your breath and try to stay alive

Sign of Things to Come
05:24
|
|||
High in the night
There's a star shining bright
Closer than anything else
But down in this mire
I’ve been striving to see
Only strangers around
Empty eyes are on me
This burden I’ve got
Always weighing me down
I took all my chances
Again here I go
Crazy, just open your eyes
Don't you see the sign of things to come
Maybe, it's meant to be
Soon you'll see the sign of things to come
All of our lives
We seek the truth somewhere else
But it's just a heartbeat away
A moment of love
A moment of hate
In the blink of an eye
You fall from their grace
This burden I’ve got
Always weighing me down
Like moths to a flame
I’m drawn to the void
Crazy, just open your eyes
Don't you see the sign of things to come
Maybe, it's meant to be
Soon you'll see the sign of things to come
(Solo: KK/DT)
This burden I’ve got
Always weighing me down
I took all my chances
Again here I go
Crazy, just open your eyes
Don't you see the sign of things to come
Maybe, it's meant to be
Soon you'll see the sign of things to come

Sacred Ground
06:32
|
|||
When I’m walking through the darkness,
I can sense the smell – it makes the roses go insane
Down the crossroads where the deal is made with the fallen one
On the altar I’ll soon lay
We’re not the first ones who walk in the gardens of sin
And I’m sure we won’t be last
We’re stepping inside to a wild world where the time stands still
Angel you’d better hold your breath
When I reach for the eternal glory
I hear his laugh on and on
When the time has come, and we make a pact
I’ll sign it with my own blood
All the souls are dancing in the twilight zone
When you know that you’re standing on the sacred ground
When your soul is shaking in the pleasure dome
Then you know that you’re standing on the sacred...
Who’d take you by the hand and put you in a ring of fire
Now where’s your sobriety
Who’d put a spell on you and make you crave for more and more
Oh boy you’re too blind to see
Don’t try to leave here ‘cos there are no open doors
I guess you know who holds the key
Cry for redemption but I sure will show you no remorse
Don’t you waste your tears in vain
As the candles burn out
I will make you think you’re the one, chosen one
When the night falls and you’re left in the dark
I’ll leave you on your knees
All the souls are dancing in the twilight zone
When you know that you’re standing on the sacred ground
When your soul is shaking in the pleasure dome
Then you know that you’re standing on the sacred ground

Saviour of the Damned
04:56
|
|||
Sands of time run through the hourglass
Every one of them is a single moment in our lonely lives
Now is the past, future’s already here
Don’t you fall behind, don’t you waste your precious time in vain
Are you a pawn in the clockmaker’s hands?
Or just got stuck between the wheels
Waiting only to get saved
Demons of past are long gone
Get up on your feet and make a stand
Gravity will guide you through the dark
‘Cos time is the saviour of the damned
You tried to retard the wheels of time
In a desperate attempt, you thought you could slow down your own demise
The day will come and soon you will realize
When the planets align, forever and never will all be one
Now you know you’re the clockmaker himself
You’re holding the wheels in your hands
Remember it’s never too late
Demons of past are long gone
Get up on your feet and make a stand
Gravity will guide you through the dark
‘Cos time is the saviour of the damned
(Solo: KK/KK/DT)
You thought you’d already passed the point of no return
Flying like a withered leaf on a cold winter night
Storm is brewing and the trees whisper your name
What is lost shall be regained as the stories unfold
See the stories unfold
Demons of past are long gone
Get up on your feet and make a stand
Gravity will guide you through the dark
‘Cos time is the saviour of the damned

Dreamer
04:17
|
|||
I’ve always been a dreamer
And that’s one thing for real
But when I daydream in the wastelands
This pain is all I feel
As the end is drawing near
I’m getting closer to the loneliness
It’s time to burn the memories
To cast away my fears
How can I take away this pain
Reach out and touch the sky
If we could live our lives again,
Would you change a single thing?
And when you choose to walk the easy way
Pretending to be strong
No lights will brighten up your path
In dark and lonely nights
I tried so hard to find a way
I tried to disappear
But every time I tried to turn my back
I found myself in fear
Behind the gates of cold reality
Is there a room left for the dreaming one
Another dreamer’s drifted out to sea,
Been gone for a thousand years
How can I take away this pain
Reach out and touch the sky
If we could live our lives again,
Would you change a single thing?
And when you choose to walk the easy way
Pretending to be strong
No lights will brighten up your path
In dark and lonely nights
Every night, when I try to close my eyes
I hear that voice in my mind
“For just a while, between now and forever
You’ve got to get lost to be found”
How can I take away this pain
Reach out and touch the sky
If we could live our lives again,
Would you change a single thing?
And when you choose to walk the easy way
Pretending to be strong
No lights will brighten up your path
In dark and lonely nights

Death Comes in Winter
07:43
|
|||
Snowflakes are falling on the ground
Just see them hiding all the marks
Cold wind is blowing through your hair
Deep down inside you know I’m here
The footprints of my pale horse are clear
The footprints, they are now crystal clear…
I only feel it, no one can hear it
The footsteps are getting closer
Searching and seeking a shelter for hiding,
My chances are getting smaller
Scenes of my journey, now they are slowly
Flashing before my eyes
I need more time to get things done
Just before the death arrives
Out of the blue treason comes when you least expect it
The distance remaining to your destination is six feet
Kings and beggars, saints and sinners
They all end up in same place where they belong
Think of the ones, you’ll leave behind
Your journey is over now, soon you’ll find out
Death comes in winter
It’s black as the night, cold as the snow
Death comes in winter
Riding on through the storm
Death comes in winter
It’s black as the night, cold as the snow
Death comes in winter
Riding on through the storm
No matter how long you have lived, death will be eternal
But still, there’re so many things I’d like to do
I’ve taken so many lives, why should I let you go now?
Maybe I know a secret or two
Oh, can’t you see clearly,
You’re just a pawn in the game
Just let yourself go and I promise you’ll feel no pain
Kings and beggars, saints and sinners
We all end up in same place where we belong
A ferryman waits by the river
I’ll keep my coin today, so maybe next year
Death comes in winter
It’s black as the night, cold as the snow
Death comes in winter
Riding on through the storm
Death comes in winter
It’s black as the night, cold as the snow
Death comes in winter
Riding on through the storm
The wheel of fortune was by my side this time
and Hellrider disappeared into the night
I win this round for now
Fare thee well until next time
Death comes in winter
It’s black as the night, cold as the snow
Death comes in winter
Riding on through the storm
Death comes in winter
It’s black as the night, cold as the snow
Death comes in winter
Riding on through the storm
Oh, can’t you see clearly,
You’re just a pawn in the game

Queen of the Nile
05:23
|
|||
At the heart of the desert
Sunset's in your mind
The sandstorms are burning your eyes
You once ruled the rich fields
The land of milk and honey
Now poverty's the only thing you've got
You locked your heart into a chest of ice
And sold your soul just for desire
You killed your unborn son
And threw him into the hellfire
Queen of the Nile, once the star of the masquerade
Queen of the Nile, casting shadows on brighter days
You're rotten to the core, see your life burning away
Alone in the temple
Longing for salvation
But no one will answer your prayers
Behind the darkest curtains
Lost in strange illusions
You're drowning in the sea of lies
Vainglory takes over your soul
And the pharaoh will come after you
You fell from grace and
You'll fall from your tower so soon
Queen of the Nile, once the star of the masquerade
Queen of the Nile, casting shadows on brighter days
You're rotten to the core, see your life burning away
(Solo: DT)
Stand up and look into my eyes
Your time has come to pay the price
Drink from the grail
And hold my hand
You turned your back to paradise
Behind the mountains I will rise
Welcome to your
Judgment Day
Queen of the Nile, once the star of the masquerade
Queen of the Nile, casting shadows on brighter days
You're rotten to the core, see your life burning away

Ivory Tower
05:28
|
|||
Climb up the stairs and you’ll reach the highest ground
Of a place where you can touch the sun
Look through the window and tell me what you see
Is this the land you call home?
Now you leave all things behind
Gaze at the wild world for one last goodbye
It’s time to be free
Come hell or high water you’ll see
In the Ivory Tower
We are aiming so high with hearts full of pride
When the lightning strikes with power
Nothing stays the same, we are all to blame
Who’s born to win and then who’s born to fall?
Whose heart’s the purest of all?
I’ve seen them trying to turn lead into gold
Instead, they carved their own stones
Now you leave all things behind
Gaze at the wild world for one last goodbye
It’s time to get real
Isolate your mind and you’ll feel
In the Ivory Tower
We are aiming so high with hearts full of pride
When the lightning strikes with power
Nothing stays the same, we are all to blame
(Solo: KK)
The essence of the universe is inside all of us
We’re nothing but the children of the stars
There’ll always be a nemesis to keep the balance right
We’re condemned to a never-ending fight
In the Ivory Tower
We are aiming so high with hearts full of pride
When the lightning strikes with power
Nothing stays the same, we are all to blame
In the Ivory Tower
We are aiming so high with hearts full of pride
When the lightning strikes with power
Nothing stays the same anymore
In the Ivory Tower

Rise of the Alchemist
11:44
|
|||
When the day becomes the night, to distant lands I ride
I hope I find the strength to carry on after the storm
Old stars we stand beneath, eternal youth we seek
We walk upon the graves of the ones who failed before
We are prisoners of a dull reality
Raise your head and brace yourself – Look into infinity
In the heart of the stone, we will find the answer
In the dark of the night, we will see the sign
In the eye of the storm, we will live forever
See the fool on his final journey, The Alchemist rises again
With first rays of the sun, we’ll sail to Avalon
Will mother earth give us what we seek and what we need?
In flames we burn the stones – Sulphur, mercury, and salt
The dragon eats its tail, and the cycle shall be done
We’re holding the Materia Prima in our hands
Before us lies eternity – Spell is broken, now we are free
In the heart of the stone, we will find the answer
In the dark of the night, we will see the sign
In the eye of the storm, we will live forever
See the fool on his final journey, The Alchemist rises again
Fire burning with brimstone
Water’s rising you’re alone
Earth is moving ‘neath your feet
Soon there’ll be no air to breathe
You’ve lost your way – Death lies ahead
Mark of the beast behind the rust
Unholy priest standing unpurified
Self-fulfilling prophecy
Leaving the seer mourning and suffering
With the wisdom of ages, we’ll someday return
To find out the truth that we had never learned
Our hearts are yearning for a miracle
Now you see the fear that I can’t hide on my face
All the fools disappeared and left no trace
Inside my head I can hear the voice say
“You’re gonna die or waste your life away”
In the heart of the stone, we will find the answer
In the dark of the night, we will see the sign
In the eye of the storm, we will live forever
See the fool on his final journey, The Alchemist rises again
He rises again

Catch 22
04:40
|
|||
I always thought about it and tried not to leave an open door
Looking for the answers I never knew
But when the search is over, all you've got will be empty hands
Balancing on the edge of sanity
Serpents left their poison
Running down through my veins
How could I be so blind for all the time
All those years
I've seen the world is upside down
This life is just Catch 22
Hopes and fears
We're running in circles round and round
It's nothing but Catch 22
Once I was a dreamer, I try not to dream the dream again
And freed my mind from all these heavy chains
I'm just a fallen hero, always living in the past
Walking a fine line between love and hate
Serpents left their poison
Running down through your veins
Now you can see through the eyes of time
All those years
I've seen the world is upside down
This life is just a Catch 22
Hopes and fears
We're running in circles round and round
It's nothing but a Catch 22
We are fallen heroes – Catch 22
Still searching for the gold
Running round in circles – Catch 22
No one's waiting at the end
(Solo: DT)
All those years
I've seen the world is upside down
This life is just Catch 22
Hopes and fears
We're running in circles round and round
It's nothing but Catch 22
