We travel on to the land of the dead Smiling at the dangers and perils ahead Cares tossed away Like the dust in the wind We’ll vanquish horror and evil repel Days start to fade on this descent to hell Are you afraid of the darkness that creeps in? Onward to our fortune’s glory, carry on For one and for all To all who shall live, this purpose we give (CHORUS) Oh heralding glorious days Where courage shines with wisdom on this fight we shall praise When darkness falls, the light of our ways Heeds forth our freedom’s call We’ve reached the tower still guarded with fear Shining with vengeance, our reward is near Strike down the beast and reap what there lays This realm is sacred, its goodness I feel Fate’s in our grasp as we shatter the seal Promise in blood, until the last foe’s defeated Invoking illumination, shining on To light where there’s none, And restore the sun (CHORUS) Oh heralding glorious days Where courage shines with wisdom on this fight we shall praise When darkness falls, the light of our ways Heeds forth our freedom’s call (INTERLUDE) An end to this chapter is written With honor forth But though victory is won, our quest is far from done Onward to our fortune’s glory, carry on For one and for all To all who shall live This purpose we give (CHORUS) Oh heralding glorious days Where courage shines with wisdom on this fight we shall praise When darkness falls, the light of our ways Heeds forth our freedom’s call When darkness falls all away Freedom calls us home

Trapped on the Deadside For so many years The master’s preparing to rule Transforming immortal Suffering souls Building an army of ghouls The Eaters Seeking the souls that flee Consume them Bring Darque their energy The master is building A tower of souls Immortal suffering thrives To break the barrier Conquer the earth From the Deadside Oh… a tower of souls Only the shadow can bring The master’s plan Down on his head A distraction is needed So Darque empowers Samedi, Lord of the Dead On Earth the body count rises But Darque is the one Samedi despises The master is building A tower of souls To focus the power he stole To break the barrier Return to the Earth Kill all who suffer The cruelty of birth Oh… tower of souls We’re all monsters In a world so cruel Blind to the endless horror We’re all fools He wants to break the wheel And end all suffering To rise and challenge God By killing all who live and dream With every new soul The tower grows taller Yet on Earth, Darque is betrayed The lord of the dead Appeals to the shadow An unholy alliance is made The master is building A tower of souls Darque and the shadow collide Waging a war for the Earth On the Deadside Samedi commands All those who have died The shadow destroys the dark On the Deadside Oh...the master impaled Oh...his plan has failed

Hello, my friends Please be at ease, I come in peace and with good will I'm here with a gift designed to explore, to help you discover more and learn, to grow your culture, to make steps towards becoming a race of destiny At least that's what I had thought before gunfire erupted suddenly Charity punished Innocence proves nothing You must release me so that I can speak to leaders of your world The message I bring, the risk that you face -- there is too much at stake to play with lives of your world The fate of us all lies in the choices now at hand Your fears are unfounded, I mean no harm But Gort will not hesitate to burn Mankind must face and handle their crisis breaking point Mankind must choose where to go: ruin or beyond Consumed by war, rattled by fear Distrustful of each other, yet there is still good, hope and a path that might allow them still to grow One final choice you will get before you risk it all One final choice: self control or ash

I'm lost in time, I'm trapped on earth This journey's end marks my rebirth My mind's unshackled, free at last Seize the future, remove the past Eternal cosmos, endless sky The truth lies where we'll soon fly No more tears or human scars For me, a child of the stars Free yourself from this realm Find your own way to live free Ethereal world is your only way out Can't you see that we must coalesce Ethereal world, a new reality Open your mind and you'll See that you can Fly far beyond the sun To the world within your mind The time has come To leave your old life behind To reach the truth, we must realize There's more to see beyond our eyes You must awaken from the dream That everything is as it seems Cosmic waves will permeate The sea of energy life creates Go beyond this density For we are vibrational beings Beyond the stars, my mind flies free A distant land, too far to see A brand new world will take me in And bring the life I live to end Distress floats and drifts away Embrace the zeal that's been astray Paint the relief on my face It's here to stay, I've found my place

Waiting for heaven to shine Watching the life force of my brother drain away Carried on through hellish halls Dimly lit, I hear the calls You can't save me--I'm breaking down Family weeps together and the presence of another man Michael Andrus has just arrived "I am the father of the man who's dying here This is my power, authority of God" I carried hopes with me that somehow we'd avoid These ego games and sport for your control Life, after this life, after this death You're wandering in a lucid nightmare now To be the wraith who wanders endlessly through space You're looking death in its pallid face this time Carry me away and split this soul apart In this world of mine inside my head Carry me away and bring me to the edge To the edge of consciousness and pride Skies of grey and howling wind Let the combat trial begin Fratricidal--we'll spill the blood! "My son has title chance to make it through this hell His guts are liquified and chemo treatments failed" I cannot say that you are wrong or you are right But words from you are venom, no agreement is in sight Life, ending his life, mercy disguised You're withdrawing into lucid nightmares now He'll be the wraith who wanders endlessly through space You're looking into a fantasy this time Carry me away to dream forevermore In this world I'm promised to explore Carry me away and bring me with you there To where pain is gone and dreams are real Dancing starlight Dance with me Dancing starlight Solo: Tony Time, time to decide, palaver's time Time to decide what to do with dying men To be the man who holds authority of God's kind will This vanity illusion will decay When the bastard son is held into the light Pass the torch and praise the King of Rome When the bastard son is old enough to rule Then your reign will end by Mordred's hand

Dusk falls across the field The last shreds of scarlet fade away Cold mist closes in And Morhold is cloaked in velvet gray For a moment The world seems to be at peace The breeze through the valley Brings us sweet release But silence never lingers long in times of war With open eyes and bated breath We anticipate the roar And over the rush of the River of Runes The wise one's return is heralded By the sound of thundering hooves Thallion: We ride at dawn! Upon mighty steeds, our promise we'll keep! We've known all along Our cause is righteous We'll fight until the last hope is gone We charge southward As the day's first glow illuminates the sky The stillness of the morning Shattered by our battle cry On to Talmor For a preemptive attack Fate hangs in the balance We'll take the fortress back But behold, awaiting us Hidden in the haze, just across the plain Charging with fury and two thousand swords Delnen, the traitor thane One last fight The Earth shakes as forces meet Might makes right We'll never admit defeat Ambold: We must not let this one chance slip away I swear on my life Delnen's treachery will end this very day! The valley echoes with the din of pain The river runs red with the blood of the slain One by one, the dishonored fall We search for the thane, the cause of it all The traitor flees, pursued through his ranks Until his back is pinned upon the river bank Thallion: Delnen has one final chance! Crush the amulet and break his trance! With the spell broken and nowhere to run He must face the truth Delnen: By the gods, what have I done? We ride at dawn Upon mighty steeds, our promise we'll keep Our passion is strong Even in the wake of betrayal We must battle on Delnen: You know what you must do Ambold: So much is lost because of you Delnen: I deserve to die Ambold: May the gods be more merciful than I... Delnen: I let my brethren die Crushed beneath the hordes of Mortulae Just to save my name Now I beg of you in all my shame Take my blade from me Strike me down, then take your kin and flee Turn and walk away Live to fight again another day Ambold: Tears will fill your eyes When you see the world through mine... Ambold: No! You will not escape this way You'll live with your guilt for the rest of your days You can never atone for your crimesYour punishment shall be to live on and fight on our side Dusk falls across the field The last shreds of scarlet fade away The river rushes on As the sun sets on another day We'll rest while we can Despite our grief, we must advance With our forces together We just might have a chance The quiet mourning on the battlefield Must be abandoned long before our wounds have healed For silence never lingers long in times of war And on the morn, we'll charge ahead Along the path to Talmor We ride at dawn Upon mighty steeds, our promise we'll keep We've known all along Our cause is righteous We'll fight until the last hope is gone

Fear has planted its evil seed in our hearts It strives to convince us that we are frail Feeding angst for our worthless endeavor We must toil for a place to call our home Look at us now A fabled time That never was enough to keep the dogs at bay Better than a wasted life My soul on fire Recognize the plight and sow the seed Now see the scorn in his gaze He shuns us yet he needs us (he fears us) Now is the time – we must act Not sit idly by His darkness must be met with our light Vigilant in nature We command all that wish to live

Staring out into the stars Pondering this world of ours So many questions Wondered by us all We sit and contemplate No answers seem to circulate Where did we come from And which way should we go We journey out into the space Such quiet dark surrounds this place Our search for earth-like worlds May hold the key I can’t believe that we’re The only ones existing here This universe hides More than we can see Shatter your uncertainties Assemble all the quantities Calculate and break the limits Of technology Are we alone, are we the only ones out Searching for the answers In this ever-growing, always changing Space and time Are we alone, is there another world Expanding for tomorrow Look to the equation and you’ll see The probability What will we find, what will we see Will they be friends or enemies Will they see us equal or a Disease they don’t need With time we’ll know Someday the truth will show The answer to Are we alone Extend the computation Include all variables that you see Describe and multiply What knowledge it can bring With time we’ll know The truth will show Are we alone Assemble the equation
