Fallen Idols

Endlessly long, tormenting and enslaving Ten thousand strong, relentlessly invading Forced him to fight, vowing to end their ascendance Unleashing might, horror will win him his vengeance War of the land, waged without fear in defiance Evil command, beckons unholy alliance The life in him dies, born again within the hour Lost mortal ties, the source of his infinite power Fall to shadow The infernal Roaming black six centuries Curse eternal The immortal Prays for death to be set free Burning with hatred, destroy the betrayers in bloodshed Ruler of nightmares, served by the faithful and undead Unseen at sunrise, stalking the shadows 'till light dies Born into darkness, bow to the prince of the night skies

A cold Autumn night He walks alone Passed by just like yesterday’s news He pulls his hood tight His thoughts itch and sting Like a fresh tattoo It seems unreal Another life A dream half-remembered, now gone And sadness he feels The record needle skips To the end of the song The price of fame, a game Where everybody knows your name And the whole world for the taking No more TORN – Those golden dreams are far away NOW GONE – Colours fade and turn to grey Tomorrow wakes to face our fallen idols Flying so high Head in the clouds Upwards, shoot for the moon Burning so bright Some stars live And they die far too soon TORN – Those golden dreams are far away NOW GONE – Colours fade and turn to grey Tomorrow wakes to face our fallen idols STAND TALL – Rising stars of yesterday AND FALL – Riding high, the final wave The lanyard cord breaks for fallen idols How do we live again When the dream comes to an end Climb to our feet and then We rise again

A restless breeze blows warm as shadows fall Streets bathed in twilight, neon searchlights stretch across the walls Come alive when daylight dies, taste the starlight’s kiss Running free and you’ll see nothing means as much as this And so we hear the call Oh, now we know We sway the gypsy’s wicked dance once more We never were the ones to take the fall Strong inside, contend the pride and we’re walking tall Out on the streets, close body heat here to keep us warm Big city heartbeat, feet on concrete like an ever-rising storm And so we hear the call Oh, so we go And walk this unrelenting path once more Never lose that fire, running wilder than the wind Always choose to fight, don’t hold back and don’t give in Cry for freedom, riding high, gone – we’d fade and die Set our sights beyond the sky And we’re running wilder than the wind

There once was a child with a dream So full of wonder, naivety Infinite schemes And go, and grow and know Who we are inside And reaching up higher One look back to see Just how far we’ve come A link to the past A nod to the old school The feeling that lasts As the journey goes on There now is a man full of pride On through the heartbreak and ecstasy Stronger; survived So look back at how far we’ve come There once was a child with a dream Now stands a man with a soul full of proud memories Now look to horizons, of journeys to come

You cast your gaze upon my form Into cold eyes that once were warm Hardened by sorrow, I still bleed I will arise from bended knee The days loom grey, forever seem My mind engaged in pain unseen Suffer the past, onward I roam Through severed ties I walk alone Say goodbye I’m lost forever The storm it rages on and on, I’m stronger For every day that dies I’ll wonder The chaos raining down, I’m drowning under The years estranged, like endless waves Our time is gone, now swept away Torn down, rebuilt, in iron gleam This broken man becomes machine

3am The bedside clock is checking hours to the dawn Another sleepless night This empty room reminds me that you’re gone Some say, in some way We lose ourselves in stranger days But dreams fade and left to wonder why But in my memories… I’m counting down the hours ’til I see your face In every point and moment here I burn This ticking clock counts down to when I fall into your arms again And then I’m yours Once more An open road ahead Those new horizons call to me once more For all the wonder sought I know this road can’t lead me to your door Anymore Some day, in some way We’ll find another thread again So I’ll wait and close my misting eyes But in my memories… Can’t turn back time To find those missing years And time won’t heal us from this pain Come take my hand And dry our sullen tears And start again ‘Cos in my memories…

Learn or burn The fire of time will cleanse us The blinding light of justice dies The cries Old flesh is burned away Ever searching for a better way And so we sailed beyond the sea A voyage of discovery To the edge of the world But now we see This journey ends for you and me Here we stand at the edge of the world Lies, demise Our childrens’ dead-eyed stares Lost in our thoughts and prayers We’ve come too far Enligtended brave new world Just another new dystopia

The wolfpack’s at your door The horde is clawing closer tonight No escape plan anymore Time to swallow your fear And it’s time to turn and fight When you’re running out of time When the sands are running low in your life And you’ll learn to do what’s right Make the change and make the choices That will show you who you are And you’re standing here alone now No safety, no sanctity It’s time to make your own vows Take control when you learn that it’s… Kill or be killed The sun is drawing low The dark and cold are waiting for you If fear is all you know It’s time to turn and learn What you truly need to do When the wolfpack’s at your door And the horde is clawing closer tonight No fear any more Made the change and took the chance And you learned just who you are

A planet burns, the warrior torn Lost to fear, will be reborn Spared from death, armour of black Imprisoned guilt, no turning back A life spent warring inner demons Subdue the light with dark side legions Dreaming visions, breaking silence Enigmatic lord of violence You’ll hear my deepened breath Behold, the star of death Behind these blackened eyes I see my empire rise You made me, you gave me Infinite anger then cast me away to the night Rage feeds me Becoming master of darkness I welcome the dying of light A state of grief, he will remain Finding power in his pain The dark resides within his fate A force evolves, made strong by hate Storms of passion, sleepless days Echoed voice of ancient ways Shadowed path that he must follow A mind grown strong With a heart left hollow
