Album • 2005
All my life I have been a drifter Going down the paths that had no ending With Satan on my shoulder, I was an angel of the underground Nothing could ever stop me You're losing all, losing all of control In the end you will fall Losing all, you're losing all your soul Will it ever be whole? I am terrified – in the dark there's no light She's at the end of the line, but she wants to live (To live) He tastes the fear in her eyes At the end of this night she will be... gone What you have taken away from me can never come back I cry all night The memories I've been given, while the future you have taken You left me but a picture in a frame (Nothing will ever be the same) Listen son, I'm the one, can't you see? I was here all along The choice you made can't be undone Now the price you will pay You'll be electrified It's the end of your life 'Cause tonight the stars will shine, but not for you Feel it - Feel the power of light You're at the end of the road You're in my world now, my soul to keep Eternity is a long way to go (It's a long way to go) In my world now Your soul is mine, you see There's no way out! For eternity, this is where you will be “Please let me out of here!” For eternity, I will keep you down here “Is there no way out?” “I can't get out, out of here! Is there anybody listening to me?" You can't get out, out of here “I'm all alone in the dark...” It's the end of the line where you'll be

I remember you told me once what could be the answer to it all The answer to my soul I believed in love, not magic Needed some time to figure out what to do with this To my heart, that is (I was so alone) Why can’t you see it? I need some time alone Every moment my heart beats, I remember how it used to be Can you forgive how I used to be? Even all the stars remain Through lonely nights – they keep shining I believed in love Through the midnight sun we rolled Even if the stars remain, I know that this won’t last forever (This won’t last forever) We will make it through the night... When you feel alive, when there’s nothing you can do When you can’t explain “Is there a reason why I’m living?” When you feel alive, when there’s nothing you can do Now I keep on searching for the path that lies ahead Ahead – is the longest way to go I can see the sun shine up above I can see the rainbow that glows Into the fire we burn I see it, I can’t deny it The feelings I have deep inside for you When you feel alive, when there’s nothing you can do When you can’t explain “Is there a reason why you’re living?” When you feel alive, when there’s nothing you can do We will struggle towards this together Together we will make it through alive!

The men stood tall on the battleground With pride in their eyes and with a faith to guide them Blood was spilled over the fields They won, but for what cause? What we do? Echoes in eternity Now as brothers they unite And as enemies they shall apart For the glory of the Empire! Now I’ve been betrayed But there is no one here, nobody to tell I must walk towards the deadline I must walk it alone, all alone On my quest for a new horizon I’ve been waiting for so long In the time of a desperate fighter Free me from the spell that I’m in Through these eyes I have seen With my soul I have been drowning This journey must end I must enter the scene once again My name has been taken My soul has been torn apart What I have lived for has now been taken away from me Sold for a penny, I was marked as gold The arena opens up The salute of a thousand souls I must struggle to win the crowds Now the time has come, will I win or fall? Victory is on my mind Could it ever be what I have found? Now the gates are open wide... I must enter the arena It will bring me one step closer to my revenge On the quest for a new horizon I’ve been waiting for so long In the time of a desperate fighter Free me from the spell that I’m in Through these eyes I have seen With my soul I have been drowning This journey must end (oh...) I gazed into the night, where you and I Once used to watch the sun set and the moon rise Now as the time pass by, when I cannot breathe at all When you reach out your hand (Betray) whispers in the wind An era that never ends My soul is in blister, but I feel, I feel no pain I can now see what was taken away from me Through the gates I walk but I am not alone I am one now – finally, finally I’m free On my quest for a new horizon I’ve been waiting for so long In a time of a desperate fighter Free me from the spell that I’m in Through these eyes I have seen With my soul I have been drowning This journey must end I have entered (I have entered) the scene again (For the glory of the Empire) That’s been built by the hands of slaves (For the glory of the Empire) That’s been built by the hands of slaves To fulfill the master’s will!

This track is instrumental.
I’m staring out the window It’s raining outside The fall has caught up with me I feel that I can’t breathe Wished I couldn’t see I lived my life through someone else Long ago I made a choice That I thought would make a difference And lead me back on track Silence from angels above Leaving us behind in a time when we’re in need Of someone to hold close to your heart I am just another leaf falling down on the ground I’m standing at a crossroad I don’t know what to do I will not live to see another day The time has come to face the end This is a necessary thing ‘Cause I will hold your hand and say, “Will you forgive me?” Long ago I made a choice That I thought would make a difference And lead me back on track Silence from angels above Leaving us behind in a time when we’re in need Of someone to hold close to your heart I am just another leaf falling down... on the ground

Falling through the oceans of life I sense the sorrow I picture the pain from the stream of life that I'm in Feel the fire burning through the sphere tonight What is this thing that I see? Someone wake me up from this nightmare! If I only could get through the night, it would be a revelation The understanding of nothing seems so far away Why am I here, down on this lonely road? I can feel there's no one here I'm slowly fading into nothingness Why am I here, down on this lonely road? I try to speak, but can't find the words to say It was only a dream - His body senses relief He washes off the night from his face, followed by a look in the mirror Something doesn't feel right here Who is this man I see? Somehow he can't recognize himself If I only could get through the night, it would be a revelation The understanding of nothing seems so far away Why am I here, down on this lonely road? I can feel there's no one here I'm slowly fading into nothingness Why am I here, down on this lonely road? I try to speak, but can't find the words to say (The words to say, oh no) Like a child, he’s scared by – the absence of light Abducted by himself – crippled by the mind The will must contrive – the mind Why am I here, down on this lonely road? I carry on Why am I here, down on this lonely road? Down on this lonely road I can feel there's no one here I'm slowly fading into nothingness Into nothingness I fade Stop locking me in! Why can't I get out of here? I've been lost in the long forever, lurking alone again

When there's no love nor hate in this world When we reach out our hand to someone, but that someone is not there I'm all alone in this forsaken world where time stands oh so still I remember, but now it's time for peace The world ain't no longer "Hello? Can anybody hear me?" It's in the hands of faith You keep on walking that same dark road where there's no end to see In these ruins you stand all alone while you dream about yesterday "There's no turning back once the times have changed" (Times have changed) The world ain't no longer It's in the hands of faith I woke up in the middle of the night Outside the rain was covered in red Thunder and lightning covers the sky I'm all alone in this forsaken place What have I done to deserve a life like this? Am I the key? Have I unlocked the mystery to life? Innocence is the secret to reveal the prophecy A new beginning predicted by the pages in the sand Innocence is the secret to reveal the prophecy The soul survivor stands alone to end this misery Innocence is the secret to reveal the prophecy A new beginning predicted by the pages in the sand Innocence is the secret to reveal the prophecy The soul survivor stands alone to end this misery When there is love and no hate in this world, we can reach out our hand to someone and that someone will be there

The journey begins beyond the mountains far away Where the sun always shine and the rainbows begin The Grand Utopia A young man in his pride His restless heart and soul leaving his loved ones behind To explore the great unknown alone, all by himself Mother, always watching over me Now she must let me go He feels the absence of well-being as he leaves his roots behind Wandering night and day without any rest Voices from inside that I cannot understand Calling me to go somewhere The road he once knew changed before his weary eyes Sunlight is gone, now the darkness prevails Suddenly the ground begins to shake... Tremble, now it’s too late, oh “Step into our endless darkness You are now our soul to keep” Oh, no, I’m falling into the burning skies I thought it was over now, but the chapter of my life has just begun Resurrected to complete the task that’s been brought on to me I can now see the gates that bring me to eternity I’m on my own now, here I thought it was over now, but the chapter of my life has just begun Resurrected to complete the task that’s been brought on to me I can now see the gates that bring me to eternity I’m on my own now, here I wandered through the sands for quite some time now, for days Where I’m going, I don’t know It’s hard to breathe, the heat burns my skin It feels like someone’s watching over me My faith is in their hands Voices surrounds me, they show me the way I’ve reached the point of no return And the path that lies behind me, I will never see again From the day that I left home, I had one thing on my mind To find the hidden answer in the sand Feels like someone watching over me My faith is in their hands Voices surrounds me, they show me the way A beast stands before me with a face of a foul demon If this challenge is won, maybe my fate is sealed The fight lasts for days Evil will embrace the one who enter the gate Judged to live in pain and forever suffer for eternity Left the region of heaven to the underworld, the bringer of life Down in the shadows, the secret it lies within Deep in the oceans of sand The beast lies before me I have won, I’ve defeated the demon The path before me, it will now reveal the answer in the sand Faith! Though my faith failed long ago, I must still carry on The secret lies right in front of me And before my eyes, the book that brought me to hell Left the region of heaven to the underworld, the bringer of life Down in the shadows, the secret it lies within Deep in the oceans of sand Left the region of heaven to the underworld, the bringer of life (the bringer of life) Down in the shadows, the secret it lies within (lies within) Deep in the oceans of sand (oceans of sand) The journey ends (back to paradise) Beyond the mountains far away I’ve returned to where the sun always shines To my Grand Utopia

Lost in the night, when you fall asleep You will wake onto the other side In this world of lost illusions everything seems so unreal Now you can see the horizons Beyond the stars, the clouds they fade The days are gone tomorrow, live today In a world of changes nothing seems too right Is there no room for answers in this dark charade? In the night, the dreams they haunt me like a storm on my way I don’t know what the stars become But they shine in their own way Oh please save me Hear my call For blood they hunger... No one hears my call Can’t run, can’t hide Oh, there’s somebody who’s watching from the deepest part of night Hopefully the chosen one I run In a world of changes nothing seems to be right Is there no room for anger? Is there a time for change? In the night the dreams they haunt me like a storm on my way I don’t know what the stars become But they shine in their own way Oh... But I can’t run, I cannot hide I’m lost in a fire I can’t run, no, I can’t hide I’m lost in a fire Can’t you see me while I fall into fire? Oh, can’t you see me, lost in a fire!

Times of woe Uncertain future Related talks Events by past Love to hate Hate to love Be a prey Hunt or stay False prophets ignored in ridicule Treason by demons, we will fall Skeptic minds will turn the tide To imperial destruction Don't let depression take control Unmask your truly self Ignore the rights and all the wrongs Embrace the light In the heat of the night You feel the walls cave in on you Can you feel what I do You can open the door But you can not read what is on my mind Just open your eyes and see the light The sun appears On the rise again To overcome what has never been You can feel you're on the edge You can stop yourself, your fall Why is there nobody to call? I can see it through the open line I can see it to the end this time You know It is all in my favor Reach inside your crystal ball Open your mind and then you fall Don't let depression take control Unmask your truly self Ignore the rights and all the wrongs Embrace the light In the heat of the night You feel the walls cave in on you Can you feel what I do You can open the door But you can not read what is on my mind Just open your eyes and see the light Don't let depression take control Unmask your truly self Ignore the rights and all the wrongs Embrace the light In the heat of the night You feel the walls cave in on you Can you feel what I do You can open the door But you can not read what is on my mind Can you feel, what I do Can you turn your life around Can you feel what I do You can open the door But you can not read what is on my mind Just open your eyes and see the light
