Many have puzzled to whether or not William Tell ever existed! what do you think, did he or didn't he? there's so much on this earth we will never truly understand...... and that's alright because if we knew everything, what would be left to long for? what else could we be curious about? what would remain to dream about? ......... we just came back from a new adventure we brought back the story of William Tell with us.... listen..... and when you have heard the end, maybe you will also know if there was a Tell or not....... welcome to the land of the confederation!

Far from the land where the sun was born, I went rambling among the Alps, through the stones and through the trees, accompanied only by hope alone the path takes me to the top, where the eagles want to fly Bridge 1 to cross the valleys into the mountains, valleys of the kings, I will shed my illusions to the whispering of the wind, dark tales are waiting for me and taking me back home, to the home where the saga has begun....back into that time my face was close, my fingers he tasted, just the stone had crossed my way, but behind my mask I feel the power, in my mind, everything's out of control, into the land of fantasy Bridge 2 everything is out of control somewhere in your mind, I feel the power of the stone, blinded by the fear of life Refrain i feel the tombstone on the hills standing still, he sends me to the land where my predecessor fought to die get up into the valley where justice wasn't there, the hungry howl at the door and whose moon is full of blood, slaves wrote this tale in blood, the sense (of justice) begins to die Bridge 1 Refrain I feel the tombstone........ Refrain I know this land, I like this land, slights change into darkness, I know the man who walks to me, a crossbow in his hands..... with the crossbow in his hands.... crossbow in his hands Bridge 2

Buried in the valley where the skies are gloomy, this tale was carved in stone the hunters enraged a head removed, the master of Rossberg can`t come Bridge death to the man, faithful to avenge, women disgraced all the while, here comes the man, to be a hero, the hood pulled over his eyes, fight and die in the name of gods, the best markman of that age in the name of the axe, runs through his mind for freedom and justice all time Pre Chorus fallen angels are everywhere somewhere in your mind, you have to stay when the nightfall must come, and these are the words of the blind Chorus in an area in the center of Switzerland, lives William Tell in a land so dark in a land so dark, where the skies are cloudy two sons and a wife, make his life so real, the truth is curical to him, will fight on the side of his friends Death to Gessler all time Bridge Chorus bim Urischtier, bim Urischtier do ha ig einisch gschwore, das ig bi nere Schlacht nid zwöite miech scho mi Vater het sis Läbe verlore Pre Chorus Chorus land so dark and could ......could

Hate and pain from the highest hills, the time will come when we can`not stand still the price of honour we will pay, against Gessler we will stay Bridge 1 stand up for your right, die if you must during this night (I) often walked in this valley before, but the crossway always closed its door all that I want is much too high, I`m going to Heaven where you`re alive Bridge 1 stand up for your right, die if you must during this night Refrain I must tell you the tomorrow Song, behind the mask in a land a long time ago in a corrupted zone, was time for revolution against darkest crowns all the people in the heart of the town, hear the voices of the black crows a maiden stopped...please remember me, I`m the king, not anywhere to be Refrain Bridge 1 Refrain

William show me, the path that brings us to the place, to the place where the holy hunting ground brought something to eat, hunting in a holy land, the animals must understand, die for immortality and for the helvetic gods bears and eagles in the sky, we hunt during the night, to sacrifice at this hungry time, they must live to die but we hear the scream, of a man who`s hanging on the cliffs, take his hands, the hands they built to help, we saw Gesslers face, the mask that takes us to the rage, whatever comes whatever is, my heart is full of pain and my mind feels like a stone, and my veins like a frozen tear like frozen tears in the winter we want Gessler to suffer Refrain welcome to the forest at the dragongroundalp, the revenge will come, the hungry must begone Bridge 1 dreams are enslaved in this reality, Gessler takes us the hunting meat, dreams are enslaved in this reality, he takes us the holy meal Bridge 2 u wird's Böse ewig läbe kämpfe ig bis i Tod, wärde Götter mis Läbe sägne u s'Wasser vom See wird rot !!! .....u s'Wasser vom See wird rot ! everything that we hunted, the lord takes greedily, into to the castle Zwing-Uri the treasury of the dark swords we brought him back we want him back to the opposite of the heaven, its never too late nowadays, I am the enemy of the state Bridge3: gage Thron mir kämpfe, dass mir d'Freiheit choi länke, das muess d'Bestimmig si, jo, dass mir d'Chöpf nid sänke und ds Läbe nid verschänke, das wird so ewig si !!

A fallen time that's bygone somewhere in this twilight zone, Gessler was the blackest son got us to the breathing souls knights of terror, fear and pain, enslave them to the veins, preach the words of evil time for the confederations Bridge oath, behind the hills of faith together with a judgement tale, fight and die in the name of gods, for freedom (of) this country and guilty the lord it was the time for the only thing the confederation oath... the forgotten hymn! (I have) often walked in this land before, one way to the golden ground, where honey and milk began to flow, the heaven began to growl but now the time will come soon, the revenge won't be long, reflection in the dark of the moon, (for) the confederations.... Bridge Refrain this is a forgotten hymn, back in a nameless time, this is the forgotten hymn, for unity in a hopeful time dragons fly, in the sky through the clouds in the night, this is Tells revenge fight and die, in the name of the gods with our blood, feel the markmans rage.. ...markmans rage.....markmans rage classic part solo part Bridge Refrain

Like an emissary through the village, with the hood of Gessler hanging, on the wooden pole at the marketplace, he is lost in his own town silently I welcome, the glorious mist of town, time to send one warrior home, he is lost in his own town Brigde 1 Huet nid grüesse, de wirsch büesse, sötsch aber müesse das isch Macht! the punishment is, the shot with a crossbow, at the apple the head of his lovely son but he hit the holy fruit, Gessler hates the glory shoot, catch Tell to take his blood, take the holy blood Bridge 2 Tell, great warrior, I greet you with hail, by fire and frost, Gessler wants revenge, in the other life we`ll stand, we are the strong, in a better world we`ll meet, you`re the suffering one Refrain don't destroy the circle of the pole he still dreams.... I`ve seen the sun of tomorrow rise, from the deepest rage of nowhere Tells soul to save on the journey to his death, in a boat on a secret lake, the men seize their only chance, escape into the dark then the storm shall arise, turns the clouds into grey, sends up a howling wind, across the secret lake Bridge 1 Refrain on the journey..... then the storm shall arise..... Bridge 1 Refrain

On Tells journey, through his land, disfigured bodies lie on the battlefield like a leafe in the storm, behind the mountains, behind the mountains, where my fathers were born they work together 'til they die, the perception of voices of lies Bridge 1 traveling through the dark, the trail so far - hollow lane! I can feel it coming down, the rage in the air frees us of our pain now that your kingdom has to burn, now that it ends in a death the final shoot, it has arrived, from the sky it came to bring your destiny Refrain 1 the wind is out of rain the seeds of eternal pain Brigde 2 I saw the diabolic armies, they fight to the friends to their fall, I saw the frozen souls, they cried so loud, then the pain had sung I can`t shoot the arrow into the sun, but I can shoot, shoot it for the sons there is no light, there`s no sun, where have the tales all gone? into an unsafe past, to a nameless place, there is no hope for Helvetic sons into the hollow lane, I`m waiting for the faces, the faces that Gesslers body carries on Bridge 1 Refrain 1 Refrain 2 the time has come for the hollow lane, the arrow must fly into the blackest rain! Bridge 2 Bridge 1 Refrain 1

What have the arrows done to form the path we see, the pain the rage that I see, it doesn't follow me, and the victory of this life, they take his holy forms, as Gessler goes into the hell, your lords must never be born Bridge 1 echos of suffering through the darkest night, forget the laws of the enemies, all the order bloody right, against the black empire a defense wall of men, now thats your desire..... Helvetia strikes (back) again Bridge 2 zundet ds Fuur doch a d'Schlacht isch da Bridge3 this is the time for the holy crusade, this is the time that Gessler falls this confederation is now together, the confederation waits for the one Refrain hillflames on high, signs in the sky for the fight hillflames on high, signs in the sky for the fight Bridge 4 the tales of our lives, away in memories, the spirit of all time, living in our dreams, in a land built out of nowhere, in a lot of lies, the future in their hands the power of your will is here to carry on, the darkness was erased, the faith is keeping strong, he walks through the lane, heading his places he`s been, is this reality, or a dream within a dream?

the end of this sacred story I'll always remember this I will, too, so you can follow in hours of pleasure and pain Bridge 1 and I will preach in this light, I can't fall through this night, will awake in my own time in my own time I was born in this land I grew up in a jungle of stone, I felt the hate of all men, but I fought my way up alone Bridge in cities in halls, revolution, to have a land raise your swords to lords stonecold, Refrain dreams of a this time scenes from long ago, years have to flow, .....memories still survive in the distance far away escape in me, dreams let me out, I can remain and feel the pain, of a land where the mountains sleep Refrain I feel the rain on my face its running down on me, I lay in the grass in the alps, this is the dream about my life, where my fathers want to, fathers want to fight in the distance......
