I still remember when I was a child So curious, adventurous and wild Looked at the world with open eyes I couldn’t tell the truth from all the lies I was taught how to live, how to behave I was told, how to walk, to talk, to know my place All those years I was searching for my way All the world was my stage So I will turn every dream into reality And through the dark they will be the light to guide me I’m on my own, walking down this road alone I’ll go on, I’ll be strong, all I need is my eternal dream Now I can see it all so clear There are no boundaries and no frontiers I wouldn’t change the road I’m on My dream lives on long after I am gone I have learned I must do whatever it takes I make mistakes, I must fall to rise again Break the rules, all the chains that hold me down I may sink but I won’t drown! So I will turn every dream into reality And through the dark they will be the light to guide me I’ll show that I can’t be tamed When I’m gone remember my name And I won’t give up the fight Go gently into the night I’m on my own, walking down this road alone I’ll go on, I’ll be strong, all I need is my eternal dream (Oh...) (Oh...) (Oh...) (Oh...) Turn every dream into reality And through the dark they will be the light to guide me I’ll show that I can’t be tamed When I’m gone remember my name And I won’t give up the fight Go gently into the night I’m on my own, walking down this road alone I’ll go on, I’ll be strong, all I need is my eternal dream I’ll go on, I’ll be strong alone All I need is my eternal dream...

When I was young and life had only just begun The days were long and bright So warm and full of life I never knew that one day you would fade away Your colors fade to gray It seems like yesterday Still you’re shining in the dark You’re still safe within my heart Where my memories lie and I will follow you Wherever you go I am what you made of me Your blood is my blood, and your heart is my heart We are what we leave behind An eternal stream You flow through me And I fear no more though you’re gone I know we’ll meet again I know you’re there, still somewhere You are waiting You are the mystery that only I can know The gentle wings that glow The glitter on the snow I never speak about you Never say your name It’s not that I don’t care It’s just that I’m not dead You’re still gone and I’m still here Yet I always feel you near Wherever I go I am what you made of me Your blood is my blood, and your heart is my heart We are what we leave behind An eternal stream You flow through me And I fear no more though you’re gone I know we’ll meet again I know you’re there, still somewhere You are waiting Still you’re shining in the dark You’re still safe within my heart Wherever you are I am what you made of me Your blood is my blood, and your heart is my heart We are what we leave behind An eternal stream You flow through me I am what you made of me Your blood is my blood, and your heart is my heart We are what we leave behind An eternal stream You flow through me And I fear no more though you’re gone I know we’ll meet again I know you’re there, still somewhere You are waiting (Oh...)

Scam is their way How they play, how they make their move Damned everyday what they say How they forge our truth We’ve seen it all so many times before Make a stand, their demands don’t matter anymore Uprising, uniting, all those who fear no more Confusing, misleading, media’s hard to read What is real, what’s the deal? Is it all done in the name of greed? What we feel is right and true What we have is still inside our burning heart Not torn apart, now we need to rise above it They can write another lie They can try to make us weaker We won’t bend, fight ‘til the end We won’t yield We’ll rise above it What they write isn’t right It doesn’t matter if it serves the plan Don’t believe what you see Just try to understand We’ve seen it all too many times before Make a stand, their demands don’t matter anymore... What we feel is right and true What we have is still inside our burning heart Not torn apart, now we need to rise above it They can write another lie They can try to make us weaker We won’t bend, fight ‘til the end We won’t yield We’ll rise above it What we feel is right and true What we have is still inside our burning heart Not torn apart, now we need to rise above it They can write another lie They can try to make us weaker We won’t bend, fight ‘til the end We won’t yield We’ll rise above it We’ll deny their every lie And we, we’ll rise above it We won’t bend, we won’t yield They’ll see we’ll rise above it! We are free, you and me And we, we’ll rise above it We won’t bend, we won’t yield They’ll see

I can’t explain the way I feel sometimes The loss of words, the chaos in my mind It seems like I can only bring you pain The passion fades away like tears in the rain And every time you try to reach for me I feel afraid, I feel I’m in too deep It’s not your fault we ended up this way It’s just that I can’t be what you want from me I must walk away again You will never see me You will never hear me calling out your name again I’m out of words to say so I’ll stay away You will never heal me You will never feel my touch upon your skin, your face For I... I’m lost without a trace I did not want to fight, not make you cry I was too weak, the time was not right I hope one day you can forgive me For everything I’ve done, how I let you down You will never see me You will never hear me calling out your name again I’m out of words to say so I’ll stay away You will never heal me You will never feel my touch upon your skin, your face For I... I’m lost without a trace You will never see me You will never hear me calling out your name again I’m out of words to say so I’ll stay away You will never heal me You will never feel my touch upon your skin, your face For I...

Reading all the daily news Full of crime, hate and abuse Where is this world heading to Can’t you get it in your head? No brighter future lies ahead There’s nowhere to hide We’re lost and we’re out of time So hear me now The time has come to make a stand... We lost, no one won We fell one by one and All we had slipped out of our hands We will be the last The die is cast Open your eyes, here the dreams burn And light up the skies No return, no lesson learned We watch and we wait while everything burns And we’re just feeding the fire While you’re watching daily feeds Have you done all of your deeds To make our world a better place It is not so hard to tell It’s all going straight to hell We’ll leave like we came We’ll be gone without a trace So hear me now The time has come to make a stand We lost, no one won We fell one by one and All we had slipped out of our hands We will be the last The die is cast Open your eyes, here the dreams burn And light up the skies No return, no lesson learned We watch and we wait while everything burns And we’re just feeding the fire So hear me now The time has come to make a stand We lost, no one won We fell one by one and All we had slipped out of our hands We will be the last The die is cast Open your eyes, here the dreams burn And light up the skies No return, no lesson learned We watch and we wait while everything burns And we’re just feeding the fire that will rise The die is cast Open your eyes, here the dreams burn And light up the skies No return, no lesson learned We watch and we wait while everything burns And we’re just feeding the fire...

Haven't you ever been drowning in sorrow? In the morning, Because you're never gonna fly. So insignificant, waiting for daybreak, With a heartache, Under the black and evil sky. Life is unfair, And nobody cares, But did you think for a moment that you are so rare? We are the hope of a world in despair. We stand on the shoulders of giants, And we will carry this power to the skies. We stand on the shoulders of giants, And take a look inside of you, Then you'll see your power too. Look at your life and reflect on the magic, That you're given, From many kin you never met. Life is unfair, And nobody cares, But did you think for a moment that you are so rare? We are the hope of a world in despair. We stand on the shoulders of giants, And we will carry this power to the skies. We stand on the shoulders of giants, And take a look inside of you, Then you'll see your power too. (We are the glory! We have the power!) (We are the joy of a world without care!) (We are the glory! We have the power!) (We are the hope of a world in despair!) Did you think for a moment that you are so rare? We stand on the shoulders of giants, And we will carry this power to the skies. We stand on the shoulders of giants, And take a look inside of you, Then you'll see your power too.

In my line of work You deserve everything Everything that you need And all that you long for But I, I’m rarely around Every train feels outbound I wish I could give you so much more I must roam Follow the road I’ve chosen Leave our home The land is dark and frozen Night by night You’re still in my mind Everything I must do Is your burden too Still the road goes on and on We just have to play along Days are lonely, nights long in my line of work This is how the story goes Highest highs and lowest lows Home is never too close in my line of work Here the rules don’t apply Another town passes by New faces, new strangers And you could use someone new Someone better than me But I still hope you will be waiting I must roam Follow the road I’ve chosen Leave our home The land is dark and frozen Night by night You’re still in my mind Everything I must do Is your burden too Still the road goes on and on We just have to play along Days are lonely, nights long in my line of work This is how the story goes Highest highs and lowest lows Home is never too close in my line of work In my line of work Still the road goes on and on We just have to play along Days are lonely, nights long in my line of work This is how the story goes Highest highs and lowest lows Home is never too close in my line of work Still the road goes on and on We just have to play along Days are lonely, nights long in my line of work This is how the story goes Highest highs and lowest lows Home is never too close in my line of work In my line of work

Cry for the man in the mirror See his empty eyes, where nothing lies beyond... You rape all the world for nothing You made fire and curse the flame You suck dry the fount of wonder You turn sorrow into hate A lone wolf, a walking carcass A sore sight for putrid eyes What doesn’t kill you makes you fouler A dying whore by heaven’s gate We took the bait We took the bait The big millstone slowly turning You make mud from hidden gold You weigh down and crush my spirit For every step of the road Your dead lips embrace deception My head filled with wasted words You kill what you can’t devour You wanna drown me in a lake of filth Cry for the man in the mirror See his empty eyes, where nothing lies beyond Cry for the man in the mirror See his empty eyes, where nothing lies beyond We lost the race And then you spat right in our face A mouth open, flies ascending A paradise of empty souls The black skies an empty ocean It took the wink of an eye From our pleasant tree of knowledge A long shadow touches death Lose sight of a broken promise And in a moment nothingness descends Cry for the man in the mirror See his empty eyes, where nothing lies beyond Cry for the man in the mirror See his empty eyes, where nothing lies beyond Cry for the man in the mirror See his empty eyes, where nothing lies beyond Cry for the man in the mirror See his empty eyes, where nothing lies beyond Cry for the man in the mirror See his empty eyes, where nothing lies beyond Cry for the man in the mirror See his empty eyes, where nothing lies beyond Cry for the man in the mirror See his empty eyes, where nothing lies beyond...

Don’t fear the darkness Let it find you if it must Open the door and embrace the sadness Pain won’t stain you It will only make you strong Hurt won’t haunt you But lead you where you belong Let your grief fade away He’s a guest, not here to stay For one more day Keep the flame, let it burn Through the night let it shine A light divine For few are those who see with their own eyes Few who feel with their own hearts And few are those who reach for the stars And few who do more than their part Let the daylight wipe away your fears For this is your life And nothing can hold you back Take a moment Take a breath and start again You’re not broken And it can’t rain all the time Keep the flame, let it burn Through the night let it shine A light divine For few are those who see with their own eyes Few who feel with their own hearts And few are those who reach for the stars And few who do more than their part For few are those who see with their own eyes Few who feel with their own hearts And few are those who reach for the stars And few who do more than their part For few are those who see with their own eyes Few who feel with their own hearts And few are those who reach for the stars And few who do more than their part

On the long and winding road If I say there’s no tomorrow If I say there’s only sorrow Would you ever let me be? ‘Cause I’m drowning in despair I can barely stay in focus And I can’t get it together anymore But somehow it’s all worth it and the pain inside me dies When I see the fire light up in your eyes But somehow it’s all worth it and the pain inside me dies When I see the fire light up in your eyes When you’re tired to the bone And your batteries are empty When your dreams have turned to ashes Would you ever just let go? I would hope you change your mind ‘Cause the road goes on forever And a song can help find your way back home... But somehow it’s all worth it and the pain inside me dies When I see the fire light up in your eyes Somehow it’s all worth it and the pain inside me dies When I see the fire light up in your eyes When I see the fire light up in your eyes Somehow it’s all worth it and the pain inside me dies When I see the fire light up in your eyes Somehow it’s all worth it and the pain inside me dies When I see the fire light up in your eyes When I see the fire light up in your eyes When I see the fire light up in your eyes

(Oh...) Sail away from my homeland My mission’s to raid and plunder I fight, I will rage, I will sunder I hail the Thunder God I look at the sky Watch the waves turning into foam I send my prayers against the wind And I hope they’ll reach my home I spent weeks on the ocean My heart filled with devotion At last in the mist there’s a shoreline A sight that is so divine As I set my feet on foreign soil I feel so anxious my blood begins to boil I leave my ship and walk across the shore The journey goes on, I search and I explore Now I prepare for war! As the day goes by I must fight or die When the crows fly low It’s my time to go I won’t fall today I see the arrows are flying I will be the last man standing I hear desperate cries of the dying Lives lost for the land, the king See the enemy flee Still I’m holding my bloodstained sword My brother’s laying by my side They have lived, they have died for victory A whisper’s heard in the air “Don’t hang your head in despair” I make offers to keep gods satisfied I honor the friends who fought for them and died We’ll meet on the other side for one more time As the day went by I was standing still All the crows flew high Above the blood I’d spilled I felt my guilt I will raise my horn And I’ll drink the ale For the dead I mourn For the gods I hail It’s been a long day It’s time to go home I hope someone’s waiting for me there I’ll bring home fortune and fame and pain Now I’m on my way Through stormy waters I will sail And I hope they’ll know my name They’ll know my face! Long have been these years away I know they’ve brought you into tears And I pray I’m there one day I’m back to stay I won’t have to fight I feel my heart beat I can sleep at night My life is complete And I know I’m home again! (I will raise my horn) (And I’ll drink the ale) (For the dead I mourn) (For the gods I hail) So I have done I will raise my horn And I’ll drink the ale For the dead I mourn For the gods I hail So I have done I did raise my horn And I drank the ale For the dead I mourned For the gods I hailed And my day went by Time to say goodbye Now the crows fly low It’s my time to go My name lives on I am going home (Oh...)

The wind is blowing There's ashes in the air The heat is flowing You stare in despair Hear the warning The times are changing fast The Earth is crying With a thundering blast Hear the ground speaking The powers unknown, a release The ground's speaking The freezing past Wheel of the night A shelter from light The skies are burning Wheel of the night Hide from the light The winds are burning You're under flaming skies The sacred fire Is spreading, destroying all The exploding spire Will finally fall Hear the ground speaking The powers unknown, a release The ground's speaking The freezing past Wheel of the night, the skies are burning Wheel of the night, the winds are burning You're under flaming skies

What I feel inside my mind Is driving me insane It's so hard to explain What lies behind it all, what goes around So I'm twisting here within loneliness And all the pain inside now Don't matter anyhow There's something in the air Something isn't there Something that I had just yesterday Every time I try Reaching for the sky Something's coming up and blocks my way And I know that-I just need To walk away from this There's something in the air Something isn't there The storm rages on I'm waiting for my halcyon days I will try to avoid it all But they try to pull me back If I try will I fall off this track I don't care cos I'm free I'm still twisting here within loneliness And all the pain inside now... There's something in the air...

You wanna go to heaven but you never want to die A silent scream for freedom turn to Fire turn to water turn to Stone’s the same, the sky’s the same, it doesn’t roll away The other side where life goes on is Close and yet you know it’s just a lie But you’re stronger than they are Feel the wind in your hair And you’re faster than they are And it feels that you’re lighter than air When you’re drawn to the ground by the dragons Would you raise up your head, would you gaze at the sky? When you’re drawn to the ground by the dragons Would you raise up your head, would you cry? And all the wicked prisons that they built inside your mind And all the wicked borders that unite us, that divide us, until Death ever different will embrace us in the end But roll away the stone, and hear the Wind will whisper out your name But you’re stronger than they are Feel the wind in your hair And you’re faster than they are And it feels that you’re lighter than air When you’re drawn to the ground by the dragons Would you raise up your head, would you gaze at the sky? When you’re drawn to the ground by the dragons Would you raise up your head, would you cry?

All through the night he is lying awake Wond'ring how much more can he take Watching the walls where the shadows dance Drifting away into a trance And his eyes are blazing with fire Dreams burnt to ashes so many times Highest of mountains, still he climbs Ready to fly, cause he just can't stay Flame burning brighter with every day And his eyes are blazing with fire Longing for the deepest desire Heart of an eagle He flies through the rainbow Into a new world and finds the sun Spreading his wings Above all the sorrows The glory of Eagleheart Fever is burning in his veins Determined with courage, breaking the chains Back against the wall under blood red skies Prepared to fight until he dies And his eyes are blazing with fire Longing for the deepest desire Heart of an eagle He flies through the rainbow Into a new world and finds the sun Spreading his wings Above all the sorrows The glory of Eagleheart Heart of an eagle He flies through the rainbow Into a new world and finds the sun Spreading his wings Above all the sorrows The glory of Eagleheart

The times are changing so fast, I wonder how long it lasts. The clock is ticking time is running out. The hatred fills this Earth and for what is worth, we're in the end before we know. Throughout the years I have struggled to find the answer that I never knew. It strucked me like a million lightnings and here I am telling to you. Every second of day it is coming your way, future unknown is here to stay. Got to open your mind or you will be led to astray. There's a time to live, there's a time to die. But no one can't escape the Destiny. Look all the things we've done, under the burning sun. Is this the way to carry on? So take a look at yourself and tell me what do you see. A wolf in clothes of the lamb? Throughout the years I have struggled to find the answer that I never knew. It strucked me like a million lightnings and here I am telling to you. Every second of day it is coming your way, future unknown is here to stay. Got to open your mind or you will be led to astray. Let your spirit free, through window of your mind. Unchain your soul from hate, all you need is faith. I control my Life, I am the One. You control your Life but don't forget Your Destiny... It's time to say goodbye, I know it will make you cry. You make your destiny. I know you'll find the way. And outside the Sun is bright. The things will be allright. I will be back one day to you. So please wait for ME

Again I see you standing there watching me Your gaze, those eyes are tantalizing openly Inviting me to get close to you Can´t help myself There´s fascination in the air I try to fight this strong sensation But there´s no chance to escape from this temptation Feels like I´ve known you before Repeating phrases But I yearn for something more I know I can´t stay by your side forever But I know I won´t forget your beauty My black diamond Black Diamond

Reckless wheel of time, we follow how it flies by We still keep believing in wide and comforting lies. When it's our turn, together we stay stronger We lay still and silent and watch how hours burns For eternity. You carry me away, tomorrow we're unbreakable I hold my breath and wait, this moment is unbreakable I can feel it deep within my heart and my soul you make me whole. I want to live this second forever Always together, forevermore. I hold my breath and wait. Reckless wheel of life, we see how years keep flying by I never really cared until I opened my eyes. The final day awaits, and the firestorms getting closer Under falling stars we will seal our fate For eternity. You carry me away, tomorrow we're unbreakable I hold my breath and wait, this moment is unbreakable I can feel it deep within my heart and my soul you make me whole. I want to live this second forever Always together, forevermore. I hold my breath and wait till the end, until my role We're Unbreakable. [Solo] You carry me away, tomorrow we're unbreakable I hold my breath and wait, this moment is unbreakable I can feel it deep within my heart and my soul you make me whole. I want to live this second forever Always together, forevermore. We are stronger than ever, always together, forevermore. We are stronger than ever, always together, forevermore. I hold my breath and wait till the end, until my role We're Unbreakable.

I feel the wind in my hair, and it's whispering, telling me things, of the storm that is gathering near. Full of power I'm spreading my wings. Now I'm leaving my worries behind. Feel the freedom of body and mind I have started my journey. I'm drifting away with the wind I go... I am Hunting High and Low. Diving from the sky above looking for, more and more. Once again I´m Hunting High and Low. Sometimes I may win sometimes I´ll lose It´s just a game that I play. After the storm there´s a calm. Through the clouds shines a ray of the sun. I am carried from all of my harm there is no-one that I can't outrun. Now I´m leaving my worries behind- Feel the freedom of body and mind I have started my journey. I'm drifting away with the wind I fly.
