What do you see when you look at me Can you feel the pain in my eyes? Where will I go, what will I do Who earned the right to criticise? I've had my share; it's enough for me I tried to speak, you won't let me be Just lay your venom to one side What did I do to cause you pain And have you scream my name in vain Just save your story For when the hangman comes around I may not see tomorrow But I'm not the only one I'm the master of my sorrow So take a look in my eyes For this bitter sweet paradise All my life I've been a devotee Confirmed to esoteric ways You build me up, and then you broke me down It's just the price I had to pay Bruised and battered, down on my knees I call your name, but silence greets me Just pray my demons don't collide What did I lose to live this life? Salvation from sacrifice Forgive me father for I know Not of what I've become

They look to their Gods Praying for prosperity Stood up, against all odds The sky is black but still she breathes An offer to heaven The truth in their eyes This wasn't god given This lonely sacrifice With every page I turn (turn the pages) Another story's told (turn the pages) The ageless quest of man Watch the truth unfold Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Filled the air with plain mistrust Cast the stone and break the crown Somebody come save me The sky is falling down The sky is falling down They sailed upon the seas Landing on forbidden shores They brought death and disease No one spared a tour de force An offer to heaven The truth in their eyes This wasn't god given This lonely sacrifice The sky is falling down (4x)

One by one they march without trace of fear Rising high the standard of the holy nation To the death for liberty Promised salvation for you and me • March on my chosen angels only you can set us free As the battle begins They're cut down in their prime Each blood stained second's frozen in time Turn to the light Ready to fight These days are my darkest Tables have turned Babylon's been burned Woah oh, watch me tame the tempest Tame the tempest One by one they fall by the sword in defeat Tensions high, reaction to the provocation To the end, fight for glory Blood is spilled for sanctuary Mother Mary save our souls From a life in purgatory Take this cup away from me Commend my spirit above Blessed art thou and blessed be I did it all for love Carried your cross Spoke no words I broke no code of silence Forever doomed in my private hell Another captive of violence

Here I stand once again On the edge of right or wrong And I face the world a broken man Who's watched his dreams turn to stone? And I've played the fool so many times Now I ask you once again for your forgiveness If I only understood What makes you smile? If you choose to live your life Under that black cloud With no silver line Please forgive me if I turn And walk away 'Cause I found something better Tell me why does the rain fall down on me While I stand here all alone Now I've opened my eyes and now I see There are dark skies over Babylon Here I stand once again On the night so dark and long Put your faith in me now Give me your hand, please be strong We've played the fools so many times And I ask you once again for your forgiveness If I only understood What makes you smile?

If Mother Earth could shed a tear Then every river in this world would flow The fallen angel's time is here There's no respect and no love on show Rise Up And lead us from temptation I think the time is now You better wise up Or it's eternal damnation Your judgement's coming round They wait with bated breath each year For just one sign that he's willing to show The hope is soon replaced by fear Another period of despair and woe Blood and Fire Hail from above; see how black is the sky The wells have dried up We better take cover The seventh seal will break before us The heavens are falling down upon us I can't believe just what we've done It's the end of the world we know The seventh seal was passed before us The wrath of god is now upon us I can't believe just what we've done It's the end of the world we know The sky has turned a shade of red And every person in this world will know The seventh marks our time of death We passed our chance to change it long ago Rise up And lead us from temptation I think the time is now You better wise up Or it's eternal damnation Your judgement's coming round Forgive me Father for thy sins For I know not of what I've become Won't you burden me your suffering For a chance to pass the seventh one

The Lights flicker on a far away distant shore tonight While all our lives hang by a thread In this cold dark moonlight Another month of storms with wave after wave If you listen to the seas she cries Mother nature's sacrifice I will come hunting for you (I'm watching you) I am coming for you (I'm watching) Well you better start running Fill the sky with falling ember Never thought it'd end like this From the witches of November Well you better start planning Find a way that you remember Just one more stolen kiss To the witches of November The mast she crashes The fires burning a little brighter tonight The maiden fades away Lost to sea, no time for sweet goodbyes Stand here all alone Day after day And if you listen to the bell it tolls For all those long lost souls

I sleep heavy unlike before And drift away to a land unknown I feel no pain, I feel comfort There's stirring in my brain Which way does the West Wind blow? Asked a man I've seen before But not with my eyes I've seen his face in a dream world Some time, some place Straight ahead for the brave new world I don't know where I'm headed and I don't Know where I'm going Fates change in the brave new world There's no way back to reality You gotta be true You gotta be strong You've gotta be you You gotta go on You've gotta have skill You've gotta have faith You've gotta have will You've gotta show face Help me I'm stuck inside a fantasy Nothing can save me or wake me from this I'm falling fast into the Black Abyss How long 'til this nightmare ends I asked a man I'd seen before Just open your eyes This is not some dream world, this is now and then

I still can't recall The night that we answered the call From beyond the grave The bloodlines run thin Protect them from deadly sin Hidden from all that crave Out of sight, but not out of mind A quest to the death I pledge my allegiance 'til the end of time I'll carry your heart To distant lands and vacant shores I'll defend honour I feel no pain, I will take no loss I'll carry your heart Where no one knows what legends told I'll defend honour For we are knights of the crimson cross We are the - We are the We are the knights of the crimson cross We are the - We are the We are the knights of the crimson cross The shadows of time Call on my open mind To unleash my faith The victory's at hand We march upon foreign land To fulfil the prophecy

Here in the dark I can hear the power of the storm The candles they burn all night As the autumn winds start to call Next to my heart I can feel the pages so warm The book never leaves my sight For fear that mankind will fall For ten thousand years The seal has never been broken Through my fallen comrades tears They said they must never open We live to protect and serve The order is here We'll fight just to preserve Our secrets so real Rise up while our comrades fall A final requiem at the midnight cathedral Our brother he stands Watching over with pride Delivering us from evil The curse of all mankind But when he opens the book It's pages burn like pure light The truth is revealed alone Another mind filled with sight Veritas, the truth will be revealed Take your last stand, fight 'til the end When it comes to judgement day On bended knee I bow and pray And I break, the holiest of seals The truth is revealed

I'm standing here a million miles from friendly shores I've got shattered dreams And hopes are gone Another prisoner of your war Life can be cruel sometimes Filled with heartache and pain (Heartache and pain) Don't despair, just grab hold And climb the golden chain We all need something to believe in A final goal without a rhyme or reason We are all trying to march from here to heaven So stand strong, don't give up And never stop to dream This is the road that leads from here to heaven So stand strong, don't give up And walk with me From here to heaven I'm standing here stronger than I was before I know your no-one's fool And play it cool Another road unexplored Life can be cruel sometimes And filled with tears and restrain (Tears and restrain) Don't delay, take a chance Aboard the runaway train
