Ancient Dreams

Mirror, mirror upon the wall Magic demon eye A realm of madness Awakened by the call Speak the ancient words of mages Try to take control The essence of evil, A challenge for your soul The battle of minds The riddles, the rhymes Beware of the darkness behind Usurped and enslaved Redeemed and betrayed The devil in the mirror, obey! Iridescent pulsating light Glowing in its heart The surface is reflecting Nightmares of your mind Green mist swirling deep within A dark dimension takes form The grip of clawed hands drags you inside The battle of minds The riddles, the rhymes Beware of the darkness behind Usurped and enslaved Redeemed and betrayed The devil in the mirror, obey! Enchanted with powers to conquer your soul Good or evil it won't mind The mirror of darkness is blind Feel the presence, the voice of the dark Break the balance, intrudes your mind Try to deny, oh master of fools Captured forever, the loser learns the rules

Hear the cry The cry of tormented pain A voice darker than Evil The deadly moaning of hell Oh no! The unborn has tasted no light Sharing the rest of the dead Not aware of the years that go by Lurking in the shadows Twisted shape of creeping terror Guarding something special Gone since ages, dead and buried ...dead and buried There's a cry from the crypt There's a cry from the crypt It has been there for a thousand years A lonely, lost and suffering soul Shedding all its black tears Faithful beyond death Cries of pain you hear From the crypt below The one the being loved so much Has turned into dust

I'm standing here in silence This graceful place of peace Watching the shadows come closer The birds they sing no longer The winds they blow no more With fear of death I'm waiting for the night to fall The sun will set forever One after one the stars they die The rainbow has turned to black Darkness has fallen in paradise Love is lost in memories All beauty and all light Have vanished from the Garden of delight The Devil and his gift The heart he stole away But innocence was lost long ago The morning will come no more Our dreams are all gone Midnight has come to stay Darkness has fallen in paradise Oh father please forgive us Forgive us all our sins Please bring your light Again to lead our way But my prayers are not answered They fade out to die And so does the last gleam of hope The morning will come no more Our dreams are all gone Midnight has come to stay Darkness has fallen in paradise I know my death is near Far beyond my dreams My fate is waiting To show me the light... I believe Darkness has fallen in paradise Darkness has fallen

"Edge of time, the dawn of our heaven All is black the return of the fallen angel Amongst us, a devil in disguise The preacher of the wicked Establishing his kingdom" A million souls so lost and damned Alive but not so well And the devil raised his hand And sent them down to hell Just like your father held your hand He's watching over his creed Damnation and death, they'll burn in flames No matter how they plead To you, coming for your soul Just like a shepherd assembling his flock This one rules hell's domain Satanic force, Lucifer's power Attack, and he will reign To you, coming for your soul Into the night we will go Into the night we will go Out from the night he comes Saviour but black "Won't you come, come and join us"? You had better! There's no time to beg for mercy The devil says no, no You'll be his faithful servant This time on earth Black is the devil, Antichrist The Tempter damned your birth Listen to the wicked, sell your soul Forever hell awaits Into the night we will go

Once a year the white robes go on a quest In search of a virgin, a child of innocence Born of Apollon divine is the heritage Chosen by foe to accomplish a holy task Bearer of pain, Bearer of pain Lighten the burdens of woe Bearer of pain, Bearer of pain Heal the wounds of the city Up in the tower, the nerve of the city so high Treated like a princess, But imprisoned by the will of her fate Concentrating, feeling the pain how it flows Through the walls of the city into her soul Bearer of pain, Bearer of pain Lighten the burdens of woe Bearer of pain, Bearer of pain Heal the wounds of the city I bear your weight upon my shoulders I bleed for you and pray I hear your moaning in my mind I comfort night and day From my tower to your foundations My soul reaches through your walls Market square of guarded bastions I answer to your calls The tears of the city wiped away by summer breeze The pain is lightened by sweet, sweet dreams The cries of despair are silenced with a lullaby Sleep my child, I'm with you, we are one Bearer of pain Now a year her chamber is opened again Led by servants, the old one is barely sane Marked by her burdens, the guardian can finally rest Replaced by another, carrying on the continuing test

Reach deep within where reality is hard to find Search in the corners of the winding mazes of your mind Seek out the treasures that open doors that some keep sealed Believe in your dreams and a wonderworld will be revealed Come to the boundless land somewhere inside your fantasies Built by dreams and magic the secret place that none have seen Chase the horizons, catch the illusion Remember the child within There's no tomorrow just sadness and sorrow Hold on to the Ancient Dreams Great kings and tyrants, unicorns and elflords Devils and demons, dungeons and dragons Phoenix is rising up from the ashes of the wind Born into glory, then back to ashes once again High flies the dragon, the ruler of the seven skies Riding the winds, not knowing that he just can't die Chase the horizons, catch the illusion Remember the child within There's no tomorrow just sadness and sorrow Hold on to the Ancient Dreams See how the wizard cast his spell with maddened eyes Using his magic to reach the heavenly skies Witness the alchemist turning all his lead to gold Try after try, begging that his fantasy will hold See how the rainbow bends its shape into the sea Follow the sign and your dreams will be reality Chase the horizons, catch the illusion Remember the child within There's no tomorrow just sadness and sorrow Hold on to the Ancient Dreams

A distant calling, A faint echo from the past The bells are still tolling, The message of sadness and death In the city of Acheron The priests burned the Book Worshipped false Gods Scoffed at the good Desecrated the altar Spat on the cross Teared down the temples And laughed at their loss Oh faith... oh faith... Stone on stone, The ringing goes on and on Attracting a memory, Forgotten and nowhere to be found Forged by the mighty Admired by the great Once blessed by the holy Protected by fate Announcing the twilight The wrath of the Gods The city of Acheron Was drowned by the flood The bells of Acheron A distant calling, A faint echo from the past The bells are still tolling, The message of sadness and death Forged by the mighty Admired by the great Once blessed by the holy Abandoned by fate Announcing the twilight The wrath of the Gods The city of Acheron Was drowned by the flood The bells of Acheron

Mark how our shadow, Mark Movits mon frere One small darkness encloses How gold and purple that shovel there To rags and rubbish disposes Charon beckons from tumultuous waves Then trice this ancient digger of graves For thee ne'er grapeskin shall glister Wherefore my Movits come help me to raise A gravestone over our sister Even desirous and modest adobe Under the sighing branches Where time and death, a marriage forebode Twixt beauty and ugliness ashes To thee ne'er jealousy findeth her way Nor happiness footstep, swift to stray Flitteth amid these barrows E'en enmity armed, as thou seest this day Piously breaketh her arrow The little bell echoes the great bells groan Roved in the door the precentor Noisome with quiristers prayerful moan Blesses those, who enter The way to this templed city of tombs Climbs amid roses yellowing blooms Fragments of mouldering briers Till black-clad each mourner, His station assumes Bows there deeply in tears
