The Divine Wings of Tragedy

Passing through the void The darkest grand illusion Chaos is riding on the wind Destroyed in agony They create a maddened lair Summon all to heed their cry Innocence fading away - the dying eyes of prey (Chorus) Desperate cries, hail of fire deciding All our fate in the night Tempt in sin, shadows then begin to Gather the souls they hold within Victims of desire Pestilence of their invasion Forms then take on evil waves Paralyze, victimize The shadows fall and enter fast from the sky - (from the sky) Summon all to heed their cry Innocence fading away - the dying eyes of the prey (Chorus) I've betrayed - slowly fade I repent my inner plea I've denied - sanctified Cannot hide form this monstrosity I'm immersed in a curse Of this jaded imagery Realize that your cries Only jeopardize this legacy (Solo) (Chorus) (Chorus)

Today I've seen the shallow face I wear Inside this shell, a living hell endures I'm held captive by my fear, decaying hope and wasted years The knife of time carves another line around these eyes Good and evil - lust primeval Dragging me into a sea of lies Losing faith in who I am Never changing just rearranging my life again Through into an eternal abyss I fall, Silent screams through paper walls I pray someday the sun will shine on me again (shine on me again) Good and evil - lust primeval Dragging me into a sea of lies Lies... lies... (Solo) Lies... lies...

In the house of my master Beyond the chains there is a bed of snakes where evil lays Oh, I hear laughter I forged the iron bars that someday will imprison me Ooh, mother will you help me Mother will you help me To find a reason to go on (Chorus) Out of the ashes of my youth - I rise a man And through the eyes of truth - I finally understand The way I've been beaten with his words and whipped with his lies He will not break me down no matter how hard he tries Pray for my lost soul Out of control the storm inside me rages on and on and on Mother will you help me Mother will you help me To find a reason to go on (Chorus) (Solo) (Chorus) x 2

Into the morning sun Down his chosen road he rides to save the world Cross of crimson, robe of white Sworn to the quest for the rest of his life Play shields and wooden swords Slaying dragons as a knight of Arthur's Court Trained to kill, to sing a song Youthful hope to right the wrong Sons of Antioch An angel's voice cries out to him Free the holy lands, bring peace to it again (Chorus) Across the seas through sands of time Knight of the Templar A charging steed through lands unkind A legend forever A heart of gold pumps within his metal skin A noble line he carries on (Solo) Braving the bloody din Silver spurs are justly earned by strength within Squire to knight, like prince to king Chalice of life completes the ring Into the morning sun Down his chosen road he rides to save the world (Chorus) (Chorus) To see the light to spent his life to understand The sword he once held tight, falls forever from his hands (Chorus) (Chorus)

Ancient lands, lost in time Storms of sand, walls of lime Surround this mask of death I wear Awakened by intruder souls The jackal screams as my stone gods behold Desecraters of Ra (Chorus) Pharaoh's curse upon you Who dares to invade his sacred ground Gods of the Nile arise to strike you down Forgotten days of my rule, cities blazed with gold and jewel Diamond symbol of riches beyond compare Now I lay cold in this chamber of stone Fools forsaken the wrath of my throne Desecraters of Ra (Chorus) Mystic gods of the stars - I summon thee from afar Sun, moon and earth - align for my rebirth I feel the blood flow through my veins The life force shines on me again Let the ritual begin - you will pay for your sins I am god, I am king of the land The hour of judgement is at hand Winds of revenges sweep through the sand The mighty pharaoh lives again (Solo) (Chorus) x 2

Can you look into my eyes Tell me, now do you somehow still recognize this stare I wear Through crystal tears The light escapes my smile There is no likeness to be seen, it is so strange to me Awaken vindication The mirrors curse-it besets me (Chorus) Endless, timeless, faceless terror To the isle of deadly shores Sightless, countless, ageless torture To behold the sight of Medusa's eyes Under a spell - I'm enchanted The hand of fate is never late to ring the time I'm forced to climb the walls A voice bids last farewell With no beginning or no end to be found by me (Chorus) (Solo) Instrumental (The Isle of Deadly Shores) (Chorus)

T' was seven score and sixteen more A dreadful scene to behold Marble silhouettes, white statuettes Forever gaze into time (Caught in a web between life and death) (Chorus) Visions dance throughout the night In the pale moon light In the witching hour Haunting minuet, immortal duet Dance to the waltz of the souls Stillness falls upon the aging hall The fading chimes echo midnight (Caught in a web between life and death, life and death) (Chorus)

On the edge of paradise Tears of woe fall, cold as ice Hear my cry Renounce, have you, thy name Eternal is my pain Eternal is the pain that leads me to the thrones of temptation Eternal is the pain that leads me to the thrones of temptation... -------------------------------------------- There was a time ... When nine choirs sang the endless melody of light Music of the spheres There was a place... Where mortals embraced thunder and majesty Their fate lay in our hands Feel my wings slowly fading - forever lost in time - I cry ----------------------------------------- The burning conflict I'm feeling It summons me to descend into the other side And just beyond the stars blazing A beam light from a red, velvet moon illuminates me I will devise, from perfect skies A dark and vengeful day Faith and mercy gone astray With strength of infinite measure The mighty sword divides order from chaos in the kingdom below And from the mansions of glory, This empty soul cries out one final plea... The end has begun Our worlds collide, now in disguise, You'll feel the Wrath Divine Tears of woe fall from the sky... ----------------------------------------- The prophet cries Vast battalions rage on in the sky Rising from the north - the bringer of war Eve of destruction Summon all who have 'power over fire' Impending doom from shore to shore Standing on the edge of paradise I sacrifice my truth and loyalty Seven deadly sins consume you all, a dance with death I taste the victory (Eternal is the pain that leads me to temptation) Rising from the north - the warrior prince Judgement without compassion eyes of fear Like the river Styx, the gates of hell - "Abandon hope all ye who enter here" The prophets cry As armies fall from the edge of the sky The Prince of truth, now the bringer of war The day of wrath Banish all kings from the face of the land Dominion for strength is my name --------------------------------------------- Eve of Sacrifice/Armies in the Sky/Dies trae ----------------------------------------- Looking out on a blue sky I can see a new world arising Like a prisoner unbound I feel the power and the majesty again Looking up to the heavens I can see what I left behind Beneath the stars, moon and warm sun And all I know, is my paradise has begun...

Just one more night One more score Another question in my mind, can't take no more Kissing the tears from my face as they fall To the ground in silence in twilight and faded time Spirits cold, with no love Bells ring a lonely chime Candle fires These lit dreams can't burn alone Winds of change bring songs upon my memory An empty heart and soul intoxicates me This darkened page orchestrates my final destiny Not knowing what, what tomorrow will bring (Chorus) From within the mirrors eyes I'm forced to run away and hide I feel those mystic eyes subside And leave me blind Through passages in time A prisoner locked behind the door Lonely roses slowly wither and die I can't escape this captive misery Heart stone cold, under supremacy Thrown into a raging sea of tyranny Lives vile walls have tangled me in webs Eternally caught in my futures threads Play the violent strings of my symphony (Solo) Transcend the absence of this fantasy Just another vision Washed away with the tide No place for forgotten ones I cannot deny What lies beyond, beyond this fantasy (Chorus)
