Prologue: There's a space between death and the following afterlife that always will bring us sadness and emptiness. In this process, death will be completed. The past erased. This is the change. We're all part of the eternal existence, that in cycles will rise and fall in different shapes. But the circle will still remain forever. That's the law of phoenix, and if you listen, it may all sound like an... ...eternal crusade. 1. A long time ago they were building this land All that is left is just ruins in and sand But now we are here stronger than ever To pick up the heritage from our past 2. Like thunder and lightning from gathering clouds We're striking your heart like an arrow We're troops on the rise in this world of deception Deadly and proud we are carrying our flag Bridge: We're standing tall, all for one, one for all Let the sound of steel be heard Chorus: We're aware of our mission, We're spreading the call It's time for the mankind to see Let the power embrace you and you'll never fall Receive it and set yourself free Just receive it and set yourself free 3. Blow the dust of the old swords and join us today Hail to the ancient that showed us the way Now it is time for the truth to be told Reveal all the secrets from legends of old Our battle cries they echo in the night As we march towards our victory The worlds will be crumbling The walls will be tumbling Cause we are the ones, we proclaim back our land

1. Once upon a time before time began After the angels but before mankind Creatures condemned to dwell in the void Walk the spaces between our worlds 2. Three wishes granted for the ones who awakes him The unholy legions will be spread upon the earth Charging the stone by gathering human souls Opens the gate between our worlds Bridge: What would you do to make your curses come true Would you trade your soul away Challenge a creature that's older than time The eternal never die Chorus: Awake the spirit within the stone of fire I am the one to fulfill your desire To lift your life up a level higher Ignite the spark of your funeral pyre 3. Faith become tales throughout the centuries Creating fiction, avoiding our fear Rocking our children to sleep in the night To stories of magical lamps The light gave birth to angels The earth gave birth to man The fire gave birth to the jinn Spread fear throughout the land Made by the sorcerer To save his people from the jinn, The evil spirit sleeps within

1. Close your eyes and fall asleep Let your spirit fly To the kingdom where your dreams are brought to life Just reach out for the talisman The bright light leads you home Softly voices whispering your name Bridge 1: Now the crimson dawn is calling It reflects in my eyes And the other side is waiting I want to cross the borderline Bridge 2: The dwarves and the elves and the fairyqueen will take you to a land that you've never seen Through the golden gates of magic we will ride Chorus: Be the hero of the battlefield And the keeper of the sacred shield Your name will be remembered for all time Join the treasure hunt to the dragon's den Be a knight of the table round and then The princess and the kingdom will be yours 2. Close your eyes and make a wish See it all come true Feel the power while it's floating through your veins Drink the water from the well of youth And you will never die Immortal you will be forevermore Warriors in golden armor riding unicorns Mighty eagles circle in the sky Rainbow colored dragons with fire breath of death Armies of the good and evil scream their battle cries

1. Once upon a time in ancient centuries When black dragons were rulers of the world A woman was in labor and a child was born A secret that was never to be told 2. Many years went by, the boy became a man The time had come to let him know his destiny He was meant to be the dragonlord, the chosen one A savior from the tyranny Bridge: For decades they've wailed in slavery But now he had come, and he set them free Chorus: Revelation of the dragonlord A knight so strong and bold A long forgotten fairy tale, a legend of the old And with magic and fright He will come, followed by light Now the dark ages are over, the black dragons' gone forever 3. So the time had come, it was a glorious day The army of the dragonlord was powerful and strong They had swords made by magic and hearts so pure The blood of dragons filled the sea 4. Two years later the last dragon fell The human race was free from the black reptile's spell And from the day his wisdom filled the lands Victory to the dragonlord Hail to the one, so powerful and strong Salute the mighty dragonslayer He brought freedom to our land With his sword so strong in hand We hail the dragonlord

1. I was once a general in the army of the Shadowqueen I ruled my men with strength and iron fist I was under the throne's command, its word it was my law I'd sworn an oath of loyalty I never thought I'd break Bridge: My power grew bigger day by day And thoughts kept entering my brain "You have the power, you have the force" The voice kept on saying, it drove me insane Chorus: I am cursed by the Shadowqueen Lost in dungeons I've never seen There is no way out of her, I'm lost for all eternity I am cursed by the Shadowqueen My heart is empty, I'm lost within I've got her wrath upon my soul, forever I'm alone 2. My urge for power grew inside, I wanted to become the king I'd started on my path towards the crown Over sever years went by before I dared to try The battle of the shadowthrone, beginning of my fall I never should have challenged her The throne was much too strong But now it is too late, I realize that I was wrong Forever I will drift in darkness Alone forevermore My destiny is sealed, I lost the battle of the shadowthrone.

1. I've been on a journey to the dungeons of souls To the place where the spirits await And all the stories of bright light and peace Are just tales to secure us from fear The wells in the cave they were whispering their sorrow Shadows of spirits cried without sound "Please set us free, give us redemption" But they have to wait till the final bell rings Bridge: So the image of heaven might be misleading Don't trust in the words 'cause I've been there and back Chorus: They are souls on a voyage Roaming endlessly Spirits on an eternal crusade Whispering shadows with grief in their voices My picture of paradise's beginning to fade 2. I entered a tunnel and the light was so pale The brightness had turned into gray I've heard all the stories about the choir of angels But there was nothing but silence I came to a place like a cave in a mountain And misery hit me like rain I couldn't see no way out of this prison A restroom for souls until judgment day calls One thing I know, death isn't final We're traveling somewhere when our flame's going out And when it's my time to buy me a ticket I rather not make it, the last flight to God I've been there before, there is no glory Just a condition of empty despair

Intro: Guilty in blasphemy, well let me burn in hell You know my story, I've fallen from glory I am a priest with a riot in my heart The words of heaven makes me furious 1. Where's my glory, where's my pride, where is my reward In vain I fought the holy fight, but I never saw the light God in heaven, I never felt your grace Divine and empty promises, I feel I've been betrayed 2. I've always been a faithful man, a guardian of the light I called your name is my despair, but you never heard my prayers Why must I hear, the cross you gave You say you really died for me, Should I die for thee Bridge 1: And through the shadow-world I roam Living in these ruins of my home Chorus: I am the lord of the shadow-world I sacrificed my faith at the altar I swore revenge with unholy woes The heavens shall fall, the angels will bleed to death 3, I preach the word of your love, a hypocrite I am Behind my mask of holiness you'll find an empty man Deep inside me the hate is burning strong In the church, late at night, I do what is right for me 4. All my deeds and all my sins, I never will repent Now I belong to the shadow-world And my faith is at the end When I die, I'll never go to rest I curse my spirit to this church, I'll never leave this earth Bridge 2: And from my death I will return The afterlife could never hold me This true test of faith, The cross I hear a curse eternal When love turns to hate hollow be thy name, Messiah in black I am

1. Brave knights in bright, shining armor Ride into battle to conquer the lands Unite in the hour of departure Farewell to the loved ones we've all left behind 2. A quest for the fortune and glory Condemned from the moment our journey began Destiny's path leads us closer Crossing a border a few men would dare Bridge: All for one Inherit our throne One for all We've come to claim the crown Fight or fall Await the last command Chorus: Ooh take me there Where evil spirits reign in dread So far away Where even shadows fear to tread 3. Children of courage and power Follow our hearts to fulfill our dream There is a flame of desire Determined to win, we will never give in

Intro: Here we are, we are stranded Lost in a long forgotten world Light years we have traveled Escaped from the wasteland Mother Earth 1. I remember the smoke and the fire from the sky I remember the spaceship And our last goodbye Lost in an unknown dimension Prisoners of another time Strangers in a strange world But I remember so well Chorus: Winter - summer, days and nights Darkness - that's following the light Creation - so beautiful divine Out in the endless space we ride I guess it's happened all before We will survive forevermore 2. I remember what happened, does our planet still exist Our savior can not answer They are cold-hearted programmed machines They tried to save us from death The effacement of our race Avoid the people from vanishing Lost without a trace What did we find The circle is spinning around and around And the future we lost somewhere in time See a new star is born a white light in the horizon A creation so beautiful divine Feel the rain of redemption for all dreams we left behind A new dawn of existence we will find
