An altered reality I don't remember What I came from And what has been Forever drifting Tearing through existence Trying to restore unity Each universe found and dashed in my persistence The portal opens, rematerialise Lord of the hourglass, the hourglass Observing history Chaotic collisions Looking over possibilities Restoring order A loss of vision Manipulation Of the continuum This is my curse This is my godly inquisition I navigate through, the righteous destiny I choose Lord of the hourglass, the hourglass This is the pathway This reality could be The solution Restoration of our unity This journey's over Can I let my burden lie Does our race have salvation Or is this the wrong time to try I navigate through, the righteous destiny I choose Lord of the hourglass, the hourglass

Fighting a foe that we can't comprehend Thousands of fleets have now fallen Our tactics are worn out, but help is at hand Last chance to defend Earth before them Slay those insurgents Blast them to the nearest sun Now that we're one hundred thousand strong Vessel charged, the task before me, it's time to blur the stars Lightyears on Adrenaline surges as we open fire A blistering photon array Slim chance of survival, yet if we return No one shall hear of this day We're riders to the stars The human race in aliens palm We'll hunt them down and tear their world apart Vessel charged, the task before me, it's time to blur the stars Lightyears on

Far across this kingdom I have rode with faith in my heart To prove my worth and honour I shall be true on my part The fear I carry burdens me As my fate draws close every day I ride forth into the chapel To close the deal that was made Oh knight I dare to challenge thee I'll seeketh then bestow on me The grievous blow I gave to thee Magic is wrought on a winters night Emerald gleaming in the firelight Keep thy strength and thy faith alive Sir Gawain and the Green Knight As warmth and comfort welcome me Still all is not as it seems To test my soul and body A bargain thrice is agreed And though temptation takes hold I shall stay true to my court The code by which I live my life And this shield will be my support Oh knight I dare to challenge thee I'll seeketh then bestow on me The grievous blow I gave to thee Magic is wrought on a winters night Emerald gleaming in the firelight Keep thy strength and thy faith alive Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
As the wind sweeps wild and free wherever it may blow I stand on high with all beneath me that I used to know The road will take me on a journey of uncertainty I'm free, I'm my own self Stood by what my heart felt My life is in my own hands Don't wait for tomorrow, seize the day! Taking hold, I'm in control of my own destiny And I will boldly meet whatever fate may throw at me For like the wind, I'm wild and free wherever I may go I journey on without a case, for freedom I now know I'm free, I'm my own self Stood by what my heart felt My life is in my own hands Don't wait for tomorrow, seize the day I'm free, I'm my own self Stood by what my heart felt My life is in my own hands Don't wait for tomorrow, seize the day

At the heart of all ancient leylines Weaved throughout the mystical land Earth and stone infused with a power And a magic, deep as the myths have told Feel the power soar Surging through us all The strength of the Tor As the mist of eve climbs the hillside All time is lost in the dark Strange thoughts from a bygone era Transported back to the days of yore Feel the power soar Surging through us all The strength of the Tor Far from the world that we know The veil is getting thin now A new horizon forms And in the distance on high The Tor is getting close now Feel the power rising within, feel the force The strength of the Tor Strange lights, they dance in the twilight Sweet music drifts through the air As the entrance now is revealing Pathways which lead to the underworld Feel the power soar Surging through us all The strength of the Tor

Journey through distant recollections To a time that has begun to fade So many thoughts and memories of lifetimes Now gone by and taken to the grave It is so hard to gather up the pieces Of an age that's being laid to rest No living memory will soon be left to tell us Of the days which we should not forget The stream of time is forever flowing Drilling onwards endlessly And dark, the view from behind is fading Forgotten thoughts and memories We strain to see back into the twilight The past is swiftly leaving us But faint, the voice from another era May still be heard if you listen close Wish I could see through the dark What would I find as I saw past the veil Through the shadows As memories die Time will keep the secrets Forgotten years and days of our lives And past the shadows Where memories lie Time will give the secrets Echoing still as the years go by We try to hold on to years behind us And keep them safe within our mind But what becomes when our soul's departed And where are now these years to find Somewhere beyond the fogs of ages A gentle hand is taking care Of all the lost days of summers, golden You'll always find them waiting there Wish I could see through the dark What would I find as I saw past the veil Through the shadows As memories die Time will keep the secrets Forgotten years and days of our lives And past the shadows Where memories lie Time will give the secrets Echoing still as the years go by It seems to me we cannot fully turn back As I stand before this closing door Yet I hold dear the echoes of past ages 'Cause I know I've been there once before

Into oblivion, drifting on and on Awaiting death since any hope I had was gone Revenge can change a man, turn his life around A life that's given meaning when a purpose has been found And I know the time is coming And I see, it's getting clear Can it be that the stars are waiting To receive us now Creation, no beginning, no end to the circle of life Destination, the stars are calling my name Now I'm swimming through the timeless ocean Travelling to the future and past I'll give this gift through my devotion Of seeing life survive to the last There's times I've wondered why this happened to me Why was I chosen to control man's destiny To jaunte into the heavens, galaxies await The future of mankind, it's time to seal our fate And I know the time is coming And I see, it's getting clear Can it be that the stars are waiting To receive us now Creation, no beginning, no end to the circle of life Destination, the stars are calling my name Now I'm swimming through the timeless ocean Travelling to the future and past I'll give this gift through my devotion Of seeing life survive to the last And I know the time is coming And I see, it's getting clear Can it be that the stars are waiting To receive us now Creation, no beginning, no end to the circle of life Destination, the stars are calling my name Now I'm swimming through the timeless ocean Travelling to the future and past I'll give this gift through my devotion Of seeing life survive to the last

Under the greenwood tree We light with an outlaw bold Swore oaths which we will uphold Forced to flee into the forest Or by our necks we'll swing But we are free here under the greenwood Now we live as kings Hark now the hunting born Rings out through the forest glades We poach on the royal game Stand defiant against the tyrants Who bleed the country dry Feed the poor, reward the deserving Let arrows fly Beneath the arcing boughs of green A story is weaved Come listen well this tale I tell A legend woven through centuries gone His tale lives on So raise a glass to heroes past Under the greenwood tree We meet at the setting sun With Robin the valiant one Tales of brave deeds, men of honour Who fought with sword and bow Now let the fire dance to the music Let the ale flow Beneath the arcing boughs of green A story is weaved Come listen well this tale I tell A legend woven through centuries gone His tale lives on So raise a glass to heroes past

The night is still cold and silent The moon is resting high I wait alone calmly watching Gazing at the sky I've been here once and I am certain of the things that I saw I feel compelled to sit here waiting And see them once more In the night sky The things I've seen beneath the silver moon In the night sky They're calling me out there, a slave to this dark mystery And all at once my senses sharpen As I'm gripped with sudden fear Out in the dark my eyes are straining I know they will appear And then they come, dark shapes moving Swiftly through the sky They're getting close, I can't out run them Even if I try In the night sky The things I've seen beneath the silver moon In the night sky They're calling me out there, a slave to this dark mystery A flash of light, my head is splitting As I'm brought down to my knees The time is lost, I can't remember What it is I've seen Yet still I know I must return there And stare into the black My mind is drawn, I cannot fight this I know they want me back In the night sky The things I've seen beneath the silver moon In the night sky They're calling me out there, a slave to this dark mystery

Bright battalions are marching They are due at the breaking of dawn We await your command my Lord Of this day I have forgotten We shall ride out and meet them headlong They shall fall upon our swords Fall upon our swords On the eve of battle A vision clear to see A deadly premonition Foresees their victory I see the death of many I see my crumbling throne But still we'll ride and meet them We shall not alone At the first rays of sunlight Our reckoning day will begin We'll fight but we will not win Though the death dream has warned me No mention of doom shall be told Our troops will die fighting bold Our troops will die fighting bold On the eve of battle A vision clear to see A deadly premonition Foresees their victory I see the death of many I see my crumbling throne But still we'll ride and meet them We shall not alone Our troops will die fighting bold On the eve of battle A vision clear to see A deadly premonition Foresees their victory I see the death of many I see my crumbling throne But still we'll ride and meet them We shall not alone
