Twisted Tower Dire
Album • 1999
Land of illusions where mild castles float on air Place of confusion, children of doom that must beware Enter this realm of light but watch your back and keep your pace Illusion of the wizard's mind - your future now is yesterday One watches as he waits, weighing all their lives on the scales of fate He wants to rule the world, hungry for the power Bending all creation to his will The son evil like the father, also wants the power to command at will Destruction or creation, the battle has begun The greater of two evils will have won...evil...evil...illusions Land of illusions where you can't see reality Trapped by delusion of what you think is meant to be Enter this realm of light but watch your back and keep your pace Illusion of the wizard's mind - your future now is yesterday One watches as he waits, weighing all their lives on the scales of fate He wants to rule the world, hungry for the power Bending all creation to his will The son evil like the father, also wants the power to command at will Destruction or creation, the battle has begun The greater of two evils will have won...evil...evil...illusions Truth behind the masquerade is hard to find You can't trust your senses - you can't trust your mind In this land of illusions - you better leave this place of sorrow Run while you can - if you want to live tomorrow

Born was he on the shore of Hades, robed in a brimstone firestorm Dark angels gather in stygian wonder, in awe of the chosen one Rising up in meridian splendor, his bequest found carved in stone In a temple older than evil, the prophecy has now begun Hail Dark Rider - lord of fire and flame You were born to storm the gates of hell To end the False One's reign Heed my warning our maledictions on your name Keep the legions beyond the Styx, on Earth you have no place But just how long will it be before he comes for me He's doomed if he comes for me Cresting on a far horizon, plotting his attack His scarlet armor shines with light broadsword on his back, his hand did fall, the charge begins, the sentries first to scream Ten thousand stallions poured into the inner walls of Avernus Hail Dark Rider - lord of fire and flame You were born to storm the gates of hell To end the False One's reign Heed my warning our maledictions on your name Keep the legions beyond the Styx, on Earth you have no place But just how long will it be before he comes for me He's doomed if he comes for me Chaos rampant all around, a demon war at hand All the damned souls trapped below, join the ranks to make their stand Your father looks you in the face, his empire the reward With a sound unknown to ears, he runs upon your sword Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail! Shouts of victory now echo through the halls of hell The severed head of Satan held aloft for all to see We align at the border to guard our Earthly domain My forces prepare to meet their fate All as one a warrior's prayer, will this be our final day His gaze now turns to me, shall he try to conquer We both turn and ride away Until we meet again...Hail Dark Rider!

Moonlight reflecting the eyes of the nameless As we start another night of lividity In the heart of hemlock fire a gypsy queen stood bound and set to die Outside the castle walls where madness reigned, fear of the unknown Upon this plate my curse shall lie A thousand years of sorrow, pain and strife Were her final words...vanishing into flame, happiness fades I carry on my family plague, generations crumbled, nothing saved Thunder - pounding Lightening - crashing Madness - take me Twisted Tower Forever to dwell in the shadow of the tower Forever to dance on your grave An endless existence now lays before me, when will my torment end Forever to dwell in the shadow of the tower Thunder - pounding Lightening - crashing Madness - take me Twisted Tower

On a blood soaked battlefield Before my eyes I see the bodies Silhouettes that once were flesh Devoured by our hungry war - onward! Lightening from the wizard's hands illuminates the horrid battle The meek will soon be dead, they cannot clasp their swords for fear Closing in to smother thee, we're charging steadfast with our steal Your king is down and all around a trail of bodies all you see Numb, you cannot move, the horror heightens ever moment Blood, a flowing river, washing out the lies of honor Now you cannot see, the mist hides men in agony Fight until we when, the epic war never ends There is no path you can take Only death shall save your honor One last gasp your body breaks Triumphing we wave our banners on high Lean and ragged sorry men struggle to survive our fury Thunder bellows from above, the gods rejoice in our victory Hammers, axes, swords ablaze, a mass of steel all you see All meant to deliver death, succeeding on to history

When the winds of doom are howling, and the iron bell's toll begins When their crystal hearts are pounding And their dreams have all been spent...arise this night! The black holes turning into light, the black holes turning into light The black holes turning into light, the black holes turning into light When the wizards' spells are broken, and the times of yore return There's a thousand eyes of wisdom, and a curse that slowly burns Arise this night! The black holes turning into light, the black holes turning into light The black holes turning into light, the black holes turning into light In The Twisted Tower in a dire hour, a million souls are crying freedom In The Twisted Tower in a dire hour, they're waiting to take you away For this is the time when the wizards shall rise The black holes turning into light, the black holes turning into light The black holes turning into light, the black holes turning into light For this is the time when the wizards shall rise

Such beauty in in unknown, as you lay bathed in blue light An angel who has lost her wings, l now return you to flight Goodnight my love Your arrival was a vision to me, an oasis in the wastelands of my mind Touching the darkest depths of my soul, your freedom's all I have to give My god now what have I done, Blood on the floor, blood on my hands The shining blade is mocking me, the walls pulsating like your heartbeat

This track is instrumental.
As the smoke clears all the children's tears, turn to dust in the wind The taker of life, a sacrifice, we know the end is near In the distant haze the fires blaze, burning down all that remains A wizard's greed the ball has foreseen, what this world will be And the witch's eyes burn It's the year of the dragon it's the time of the beast Witches and warlocks are gathering to feast On the screams of their victims in the night The sand in the hourglass is running fast, no one knows how long it will last Because dreams never to come true...in the witch's eyes Nowhere to run to, there's now where to hide There is no escaping the torment inside, that your life was only a dream Now your life is fading away Satan laughing seals your fate Of burning in the flames In the witch's eyes
