[The Hawk:] So far away, deep in the night I feel the spirits around me How many times they'll try to take me And I will fly to the day [The Lion:] Now the wind is blowing telling tales of winter I know the feeling, will you keep me warm Many leaves are falling and the time is waiting Slow down lonely, the light is fading [The Hawk:] I know, my wings are broken I know, I will be falling I pray, my time has come to the end And there's no answer [The Hawk:] Deep in my soul, I hear your call I feel the whispers and voices There is no way, life is a cruel game I will get lost in the dark [The Lion:] Only you can hold the key Of my heart and my dream I'm a jester, I'm a king See the world inside of me Now the fall is getting near The night is getting cold Free your mind and close your eyes We're gonna leave it [Hawk and Lion:] I know, Shadows are leaving I know, Heroes are landing My love, we'll fly as high as the sun But there's no heaven [The Hawk:] There's a way to follow I will come back to the light [Heroes:] Fly away and rise again [The Lion:] ...and I will find you [The Hawk:] One day I will remember One day I will forgive you [The Lion:] Day as Lions, you know that I'm goin' to Climb the highest wave of the see [The Hawk:] I know, my wings are broken I know, I will be falling I pray, my time has come to the end And there's no answer [Hawk and Lion:] I know, Shadows are leaving I know, Heroes are landing My love, we'll fly as high as the sun

[The Lion:] There was a time when I saw the light I made a dream and I found a way I don't remember, I'll never know Why did I want to open that door I was lost in the Shadows, oh no I was lost in the Twilight of my world No, I don't know why I walked away so many miles Deep in my soul I was calling your name Crying alone I was losing my friends I found myself down on my knees I know the end was coming near I was lost in the Shadows, oh no I was lost in the Twilight of my world I was lost in the Shadows, oh no I was lost in the Twilight, oh no I was lost in the Shadows, oh no I was lost in the Twilight of my world

[Flute:] He's crying alone In to the night Feeling so cold [The Hawk:] I was dreaming with my mind, you were on my side Now you're gone and days are passing by Please save me, don't leave me So take me, I need your love [The Lion:] I don't know why Heroes are falling And there's no time to say Goodbye I see the falmes are burning down to your land Burning for evermore [The Lion:] Can you feel, I send you whispers in your dream Can you feel... [The Hawk:] Now the time has come to pay, I will fade away And I know it's just another tale Don't save me, now leave me Don't take me, I need to go [The Hawk:] I want to fly, Eagles are rising And there's no time to say Goodbye I see the light, Shadows are fading away I hear you're calling [The Lion:] I don't know why Heroes are falling And there's no time to say Goodbye I see the flames are burning down to your land Burning for evermore

[Heroes:] Fly away, rise again Fly away, soon or late Fly away, play your Shadow Smash the windows Fly away... [The Lion:] Many voices, many faces Many questions with no answers Many windows with no pictures Many doors are open now I know the castles are burning Burning, burning I know the seasons are changing Changing, changing I know it's easier to hime myself There in the corner of my room But I can try again to look outside And I can dream to fly away Many stairways, many bridges Many stralights all around me There's a room I will no visit Now the story's over I know the castles are burning Burning, burning I know the seasons are changing Changing, changing

Nations rise, nations fall by self - determination People live Cultures die, the scythe of progress reaps Forevermore Shattered lives, pave their way to ultimate Salvation The dark of heart feed their fires of passion Burning madly for more war [Chorus:] And the fools take command, to decide how we Live, how we die as they need, on the blind Men lead Destination unknown, who holds the key to Find our destiny [Lead Break] [2nd Verse:] As we race toward the edge of global Self - destruction Will it be our legacy, to leave this world a Future without past Dying lands, born of greed, swell with Starving masses The men whose deeds condemn them all, feed Only their need destroying more [Chorus] [Lead Break] [3rd Verse:] The time to lie, the time to fear have left us Without vision To guide us now, we must somehow let our hearts' Desire light our way [Chorus]

This track is instrumental.
People of the village gather round Before the cross aflame, burns down Hallowed be thy land and sea The victims of their tyranny We run with passion - run with might We run from fear - run from fright We're forced and chased from our home We travelled far, to lands unknown Our kingdom's rule has fallen apart We've left our warriors with brave hearts Men of steel with the razors edge From their swords, many have bled Try to escape - try to fight Try to conquer - with all of our might [Chorus:] Run for tomorrow - towards the rays of the sun Don't give up - the fights just begun Run for tomorrow - don't turn your back, just run Run for tomorrow - by the way of the stars Follow it up, tomorrow is ours Run for tomorrow, don't turn your back, just run Our faulty rulers' days are done We try to seek cover, but there is none The days of old, the long days have passed The sands of life, are fading fast Words of prayer, hold us abound A land of peace - we haven't found Time and life, our soldiers foe Run for tomorrow - and so we are told [Chorus]

When she's sad the world is lonely Silver clouds are crying only for the pain she feels so deep inside The love she thought would save her has somehow now enslaved her To a dream she though she wanted to come true Spread your wings you can fly But the dove is never free In painted skies that shade the colors of your dream Only nightmares are real Confusion conceals the only reason for the feelings you can't hide When she smiles the world it shines But the silver clouds are only there to hide the distant storm that's coming soon The love she let surround her becomes the waves that drown her in the sea of everchanging warmth and cold Spread your wings you can fly But the dove is never free In painted skies that shade the colors of your dream Only nightmares are real Confusion conceals the only reason for the feelings you can't hide You can fly Spread your wings you can fly But the dove is never free In painted skies that shade the colors of your dream When the nightmares ensue All that you can do is paint your sky another brighter shade of blue Spread your wings you can glide above the violent storms that plague your life You paint the picture blue or grey Fly away

In every living thing in this planet is an aura. The area that you are discussing now is the aura of this planet. It is the Communicative Channel to which the Million Council governs this planet. Anyone going into the area when the Communicative Channel is open do not disappear, but they are in the timeless void. They are perfectly alive and well. It is only area to which the Council can communicate with this planet.

Back in the days we first sighted Their shields gleaming bright in the sky The light that was brighter than fire Forced cowards to run out of spite Masters of metal, agents of steel Masters of metal, agents of steel Masters of metal, agents of steel Masters of metal, agents of steel Feel the day getting closer They'll return for the masses to see I shed a tear when they left us My heart now bleeds for their coming Masters of metal, agents of steel Masters of metal, agents of steel Masters of metal, agents of steel Masters of metal, agents of steel The signs prepare for their coming Now you know that it's clear You know that we'll be returning Once more, but not for too long Masters of metal, agents of steel Masters of metal, agents of steel Masters of metal, agents of steel Masters of metal, agents of steel
