2Bhere4U found this album because bandcamp recommended to me -- and it's awesome! good riffs, a fun fantasy theme and enjoyable lyrics. i really love the style and tone of the main vocalist, which is always really important to me.

can't believe that at the time of writing this only 2 other ppl on BC have purchased it. while there's nothing "groundbreaking" about the album in terms of genre elevation, it's definitely worth a listen and worth your attention if you're a fan of fantasy power metal. Favorite track: Sign of Things to Come.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
