Bound for the black country As the light recedes behind A former wife, a daughter Which is visioned as the guide Be wary and keep watch tonight Make sure your weapon’s at hand Here in the land which shines no light Death can strike you where you stand There, in the ruins, born of darkness Approaching the altar as the arrows begin to fly Beware the tribe of black They take no one alive So stay wary and keep watch tonight Make sure you weapon’s at hand Here in the land which shines no light Death can strike you where you stand

Feigned exultations in the court of the autarch Proclaiming heresies sublime Sought by his enemies with lethal fascination Self-styled traveler in time He has learned forbidden wisdom Not meant to be known His skin became a prison Where suffers his soul Within the chamber buried deep below Was wrought the means of his escape Across the ether, the other one must go To sleep until that distant day Across the ether, one must go To meet her fate The other buried deep below As he awaits Arcane science of temporal exploration Known to no one of his kind Immortality through artificial transformation To rule a world that soon will die

Yonder rides the Archer lost in lawless lands Onward rides the Archer alone in lawless lands Some strange power beckons from beneath the ancient sands No woman will have him No man calls him friend No woman will have him Exiled and outlawed by his only kin Through twilit skies he rides Searching the darkened side of the world Into the night Never knowing he has been lead astray Through lawless lands he flies Across the burning face of the world Under the suns His life begins to slip away ...a shining angel descends Down from the sky Her coming was foretold

You will not find us among those who dream of escaping Across the aether we've come All is ours for the taking You don't age when you live out of time A thousand years in the blink of an eye Secrets of the blackest void known only to the ancients Freedom from the planetoids and the gravity that chains us To make a fold in space and slip between the curves Sacrifice of the sisterhood to do for those they serve To cross a universe in hyper-spatial flight We ride the warp of space into the womb of night Ouranos' daughter, Hermes' bride Mistress of the Mysteries Upon the ward she rides Navigatrix of the star-seas She makes a fold in space, we slip between the curves Sacrifice of the sisterhood to do for those they serve To cross the Universe in hyper-spatial flight We ride the warp of space into the womb of night You don't age when you live out of time A thousand years in the blink of an eye

There is a place where the losers win A port of call for desperate men It is known by many names We come and go but it remains Nobody cares, nobody cries If you’re scared or if you die That’s the way it goes You should know In the place they call the night side In the shadows where the killers and the pirates hide Stick around if you think you can survive In the city on the night side Running scared through endless night Too afraid to put up a fight They shackle her wrists It’s too late to resist Scan for weapons and transmitters Sold at auction to the highest bidder That’s the way it goes Now you know You can find us on the night side In the shadows where the killers and the pirates hide Come around if you think you can survive In the city on the night side You can find us on the night side In the shadows where the killers and the pirates hide Come around if you think you can survive In the place they call the night side

Far across the gulf of time, he watches all unfold Because the day draws ever nearer as he has foretold The bearer of the oath awaits the sacred key Until the world, anew, was born, at once will be Racing through the netherworld outside of time and space He has found the hidden path to pass forbidden gates Might he loved to wrought as the great tidal lock sets in The cord is cut, the way is shut, the grows dim
It was a ruin of another time Wonders from an ancient tomb Wrought by forgotten arts Inscribed with cryptic runes They called us fierce marauders War riders and guns for hire Before the sky cried tears of fire Looking out across the void We beheld a fearsome sight Two armadas arrayed before us Preparing to unleash their might The lady kept her promise We heard the sound of a cosmic choir The night the sky cried tears of fire Not since the hour of the phoenix Would almost be reborn in flames And though they did not know it Nothing could remain the same The captain has his vengeance As we drift through a sea of fire The stars will always remember When the sky cried tears of fire
