The Duel (Back From the Edge of Time) (Music: Viani; Lyrics: Soravia) "Welcome back, my friend, to this wicked game Let me remind you how to play ack from the edge of time You may have forgotten that No honour you need to protect And no rules you need to learn Back from the edge of time You may try to show respect You may try to show some pity Here's another unknown victim" "Here we fight and never rest A cold and blind heart is what you need Back from the edge of time You may still believe in words Like trust and loyalty They don't matter any more Back from the edge of time You must accept our new world Our battle rages on Come and face your destiny" Seeking, now Found: feelings Underline this word Searching, now Found: soul Underline this word "You may still believe in words Like trust and loyalty They don't matter any more Back from the edge of time You must accept our new world Our battle rages on Come and face your destiny" Seeking, now ound: feelings Underline this word Searching, now Found: soul Underline this word "Flashes of ghostly blades Electric quivers of crumbling powers Frozen breaths through burning air In my mind, silent witnesses of the duel"

"I could not help feeling that they were evil things - mountains of madness whose farther slopes looked out over some accursed ultimate abyss." (H.P. Lovecraft) Thunder and lightning crash my mirrors And leave me naked in front of my fears A different sky over this old land A cloudy sky, heavy of rain and ice Puzzling news for these countries of sun Puzzling news for these countries of sun All my silent nightmares Awaken guests and hosts On the mountains of madness Thunder and lightning crash my mirrors And leave me naked in front of my fears Thunder and lightning crash my mirrors And leave me naked in front of my fears As I walk through my silent town I hear the wind and it feels foreign to my skin I must face an unknown fate And desperation is the word, As a wild and wounded wolf it wanders through the alleys of my brain Thunders and lightning build me a stairway To reach the top of the clouds that Move fast to the edge of the landscape To their strange source To those cliffs unknown All my silent nightmares Awaken guests and hosts On the mountains of madness Thunder and lightning crash my mirrors And leave me naked in front of my fears Thunder and lightning crash my mirrors And leave me naked in front of my fears

Cold as the whispers Of a thousand cursed winds Here came the snow And the Winter Masquerade... Icy peaks and darkened skies Realms of wonder Dreaming in decadence Damned by their past And their fallen majesty Hear the sound of horns Their ships and their gods Brought back to life The time has come for their rebirth Through magic haze... The Winter Masquerade After aeons of oblivion Seeking lost days of glory Careless of anyone's regret Their march is fierce and ghastly Mirrors of our own sins Their reflection freezes the holy scenery But all happens in a blink of an eye, One more...and they're gone The time has come for their rebirth Through magic haze... The Winter Masquerade And they're gone, one more Mingling with the shaky horizon And you're left wondering if they were real Or one more picture of your Collection of visions The time has come for their rebirth Through magic haze... The Winter Masquerade

"Eternal soul look into my void Your lonely sign, your days of fire" "I watch the sand, blown away from the open palm of my hand by the steady wind of time the world's at my command" A tale to tell A silent Lord Stands alone with his unspoken words A tale to learn And the iron rings were lost "From my throne of stone I rule thy world I've seen all ages end those dark and those bright" A tale to tell A silent lord Stands alone with his unspoken words A broken chain And the iron rings were lost Time to win, time to lose Fates of men in my spell Ice-blue skies, lands of gold Promises and hopes Time to win, time to lose Faults of men are their hell Will they learn from their ways Let the drama begin

We meet at the sunset On the streets of every country Eyes fixed on the same target No one else can detect Forgotten willows and solitary crying Tears of melancholy far from the people's gaze Come and join the brotherhood Follow the echoes of Our synchronized hearts Beating together as one Share our journey We are dreamers Into the Twilight Sky We are dreamers Glowing red sun on the horizon A green ray flashes The beam crosses our bodies Taking away disillusions an hopes It's Twilight time This is no reality This is Twilight time We are dreamers Share our journey We are dreamers Into the Twilight Sky We are dreamers

Once a man ran away through gloomy and cold valleys Exiled, he found peace in the darkness Could evil be blind in obscurity? His heart was full of an inner void The sharp Wind of Solitude cut away Looking for peace in vain Demons feeding on hate A sip of death to lessen the pain Only guilty of being born Praying a God who cannot hear The peaceful world locks the doors Living in agony day in day out He was wrong, determined and only mortal The time will deplete his vital force Only guilty of being born Praying a God who cannot ear Bitter tears we are forced to share for evermore Mankind was born to die Only guilty of being born Praying a God who cannot ear Bitter tears we are forced to share for evermore Mankind was born to die He caught your scent The headman saw you He caught your scent Why did you hide in his chaotic realm? Only guilty of being born Praying a God who cannot ear Bitter tears we are forced to share for evermore Mankind was born to die Bitter tears we are forced to share for evermore Mankind was born to die

Gabriel said: Archangel, I am I, Gabriel Messenger of the divine anger My sword serves the justice in the sky Now, my father doesn't speak to me anymore, or I don't hear My father doesn't speak any more Now, Gabriel fights those who don't have wings to fly The chosen one, kills the monkeys that walk Gleaming fires fall across the skies Shadows are tainted with purple Hundreds of angels fall from God's embrace Blue and white, with golden locks Only a few know the reason Only a few and they're not human Only a few know the destiny Of the slaughter in Heaven, Only a few know the destiny Of the war of the skies Gleaming fires fall across the skies Shadows are tainted with purple God's mercy saved them not: As swallows assaulted by eagles, Angels fall, by the hand of Gabriel While his black people attempt The Holy Father in His glorious Heaven Blue children stand still between Good and Evil While black angels murder with their swords The Father quivers, the Mother cries Mankind is the reason, ours the fault Still, we hear the shouts from the skies And we do not act, we're frozen still Our scared glance points mesmerized Towards the highest sky No more angels to save us, Fate now knocks at our door Weak people, we were chosen to rule The Paradise called Earth, Because "the lowest will be the highest" But the love of God is obscure, So Gabriel came to us Trying to be the chosen one, He gets rid of our race, Because we won his Paradise
