The Dark Legacy

Iron gated ancient ground Bathed in silver moonlight A fearless heart begins to pound Blood ties reunite Turn the key – feel the fear Unchain my unknown past Screams and sighs – all I hear Terror is here to last Beware and take heed The demon’s unleashed The evil’s about to break free You broke the seal You broke the chains Buried below for eternity Your legacy A labyrinth of countless rooms I’m the demon’s prey My mind’s entombed in halls of doom Colors turn to grey Whispering walls – be aware Lurking through the haze Mark the doors – count the stairs On through a living maze Beware and take heed The demon’s unleashed The evil’s about to break free You broke the seal You broke the chains Buried below for eternity Your legacy Creatures hiding in the shadows Silence’s breaking by a scream Darkness in the rooms of terror Locked up in this evil dream Whispering walls – be aware Lurking through the haze Mark the doors – count the stairs On through a living maze Beware and take heed The demon’s unleashed The evil’s about to break free You broke the seal You broke the chains Buried below for eternity Your legacy Our legacy

Break the black door – a secret room Four candles burning bright I face myself – a silver tomb No escape from the magic light Bound now by my own stare And my soul will be the fare Re-animate The mirror of fate Revelations of secret worlds Demons of time Breaking the line A gateway from beyond The mirror of fate Mirror of fate A sudden wind – the flames increase Waiting for the magic words Catching my breath when the storm has ceased In this place of the absurd Run away – never look back A demon’s call – out of the black Re-animate The mirror of fate Revelations of secret worlds Demons of time Breaking the line A gateway from beyond The mirror of fate In a lair of sorcery An open book enchanting me Past and present merging My fantasies are urging... me! Re-animate The mirror of fate Revelations of secret worlds Demons of time Breaking the line A gateway from beyond The mirror of fate Re-animate The mirror of fate Revelations of secret worlds Demons of time Breaking the line A gateway from beyond The mirror of fate Re-animate The mirror of fate Revelations of secret worlds Demons of time Breaking the line A gateway from beyond The mirror of fate Mirror of fate Mirror of fate

Fear the dark, fear the nightfall The future and the past What will await me behind the silvered glass? The sky is black, the wind is hauling The force will revive Nightmares are filled with life Lashing winds, raging storm Thunder in the air A pale moon in the blackest night Fills me with despair Breaking, breaking glass Spellbound by the call From far beyond the mirror on the wall Breaking, breaking glass Evil is unleashed I am drawn into the kingdom of the beast Drifting on a sea of horrors Stars explode in the mist Distant places where no time exists I see myself in broken glass Staring back at me I’m gonna take a look into eternity Lashing winds, raging storm Thunder in the air A pale moon in the blackest night Fills me with despair Breaking, breaking glass Spellbound by the call From far beyond the mirror on the wall Breaking, breaking glass Evil is unleashed I am drawn into the kingdom of the beast Breaking, breaking glass Spellbound by the call From far beyond the mirror on the wall Breaking, breaking glass Evil is unleashed I am drawn into the kingdom of the beast Breaking, breaking glass Breaking, breaking glass Evil is unleashed I am drawn into the kingdom of the beast

Through the fire, through the smoke Where I am tossed and turned Lords and kings, slaves and fools See myself being burned A quick deep breath of everything To taste and to forget My life is here, my death is there And all I’ve ever said Pain and punishment – a journey through hell Lust and ecstasy are ringing the knell Black hole Gives me pleasure and pain Black hole Live is fading away Black hole Solemn halls I have passed Only moments in time Live and die, rise and fall Places where the flesh sublimes Echoes spinning ‘round my head To terrorize my soul Buried in the dust of time An all devouring hole Pain and punishment – a journey through hell Lust and ecstasy are ringing the knell Black hole Gives me pleasure and pain Black hole Live is fading away Black hole Black hole Gives me pleasure and pain Black hole Live is fading away Torn deep inside This torrents of blood Black hole No way to stop No way to stop!

Hear the crowd Demanding a hero A gate swings open Screams are filling the air The smoke is waving Wide open eyes Behind the gateway of terror Watch and stare Lord of thunder King of pain Humbly whispered names A pair of wild eyes Shine in the dark Seeking for glory and fame In the hall of horror Legends are born Now it’s time to make the score In the deadly eye, eye of the storm Eye of the storm Born of wrath An angel of war The titans are clashing Brave at heart Smashing and pounding Shaking the ground Who will stand? Who will be torn apart? Lord of thunder King of pain Humbly whispered names A pair of wild eyes Shine in the dark Seeking for glory and fame In the hall of horror Legends are born Now it’s time to make the score In the deadly eye, eye of the storm Eye of the storm In the hall of horror Legends are born Now it’s time to make the score In the deadly eye, eye of the storm In the hall of horror Legends are born Now it’s time to make the score In the deadly eye, eye of the storm Eye of the storm Eye of the storm Eye of the storm Eye of the storm Eye of the storm Eye of the storm The fight of the fights Is the mighty of the mights The fight of the fights In the night of the nights

A thousand doors all around me The hallway never ends A million ways to change my fate Trapped in a wonderland Rays of light leading nowhere Mirrors on the walls An unknown fate’s awaiting me Tumbling worlds will fall I hear nails scratching on stones Fear the sound of breaking bones Life and death will unite In this deadly trap Pain and fear in the night Caught in a maze of dread No time to choose, no time to wait A force I can’t escape Destiny is marking my way Visions are taking shape Walls of fire at my back The past is gonna burn A fire-breath is on my track Hell awaits my turn I hear nails scratching on stones Fear the sound of breaking bones Life and death will unite In this deadly trap Pain and fear in the night Caught in a maze of dread Run from the fire Feel sweat and tears Demonic fire Caught in a maze of fear Life and death will unite In this deadly trap Pain and fear in the night Caught in a maze of dread Life and death will unite In this deadly trap Pain and fear in the night Caught in a maze of dread

Trapped down here in purgatory Hypnotized by a force beyond believe Blurring features, scaring flesh I’m all alone as the nightmare begins... See my life now passing by, images so real The sins I have committed, forever haunting me All along this road of torture, leave this world behind Fear of the beyond is taking hold of my mind The afterlife! This is the afterlife! A thousand voices call my name They echo through the hall Grasping hands, creaking floorboards Into the void I’m gonna fall! See my life now passing by, images so real The sins I have committed, forever haunting me All along this road of torture, leave this world behind Fear of the beyond is taking hold of my mind The afterlife! This is the afterlife! No light at the end of the tunnel No hope at the end of the road Falling into fire Burning in this hell Take me back to reality Someone break the spell The afterlife! This is the afterlife! The afterlife! This is the afterlife! The afterlife! (The afterlife!) This is the afterlife! (This is the afterlife!) The afterlife! (The afterlife!) This is the afterlife! (This is the afterlife!) The afterlife The afterlife! The afterlife!

Step into another hell In the mud is where you dwell On through a swamp of rotten trees With snapping beasts below your feet A boiling brew – the poisoned air Pleading answers – earning despair Forgotten realms, forgotten times Locked in this horror by an evil spell Trails of terror painted in blood You’re lost in a green hell Green hell! Slip into a pool of pain Sweat and tears are mixed with rain A pair of eyes blocking your way Face to face – who will prevail? The mirror’s waiting – another gate is near Be on your way – show no fear Forgotten realms, forgotten times Locked in this horror by an evil spell Trails of terror painted in blood You’re lost in a green hell Green hell! A boiling brew – the poisoned air Pleading answers – earning despair Forgotten realms, forgotten times Locked in this horror by an evil spell Trails of terror painted in blood You’re lost in a green hell Forgotten realms, forgotten times Locked in this horror by an evil spell Trails of terror painted in blood You’re lost in a green hell Green hell! You’re lost! Green hell! You’re lost! Green hell!

Reborn Feel the wind in my hair ...Return... Free from despair Free my mind – breathe again Feel the rain on my face Taste the blood – beat the pain This is the end of the chase I have seen the underworld More than I could bear Branded by the purgatory In the devil’s lair Back from hell... In the end I’m free again Back from hell... And the visions will remain Back from hell... The past and the present Merging in my memories ...Forever... I’m cursed by the legacy Here I am to carry on Though I will never go back To the trails of terror – the halls of horror Hidden below in the black I have seen the underworld More than I could bear Branded by the purgatory In the devil’s lair Back from hell... In the end I’m free again Back from hell... And the visions will remain Back from hell... Back from hell... In the end I’m free again Back from hell... And the visions will remain Back from hell... In the end I’m free again Back from hell... And the visions will remain Back from hell... Back from hell...

See the spell of darkness Spread across the world Ancient seeds of evil Spawned and now reborn Onward grinding war Machine – death lies in its path Scorched is all that’s in its way Destruction aftermath See the fires burning Burning in the night The shadow world’s rising Swallowing the light Into the black Into the black Secret covens cast their spell Power is their aim Mankind’s lying at their feet Shattered and in pain Pulling strings in highest places Furthering their cause The end is drawing closer Evil is the norm See the fires burning Burning in the night The shadow world’s rising Swallowing the light See the fires burning Burning in the night The shadow world’s rising Swallowing the light See the fires burning Burning in the night The shadow world’s rising Swallowing the light See the fires burning Burning in the night The shadow world’s rising Swallowing the light Into the black... (The black) (....) Into the black!
