Blind Guardian

 

 

nightfall

No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried
"All hope's lost it can't be undone
They're wasted and gone"

"Save me your speeches
I know (They blinded us all)
What you want
You will take it away from me
Take it and I know for sure
The light she once brought in
Is gone forevermore"

Like sorrowful seaguls they sang
"(We're) lost in the deep shades
The misty cloud brought
(A wailing when beauty was gone
Come take a look at the sky)
Monstrous it covered the shore
Fearful into the unknown"
Quietly it crept in new horror
Insanity reigned
And spilled the first blood
When the old king was slain

chorus:
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

"How long shall we
Mourn in the dark
the bliss and the beauty
Will not return
Say farewell to sadness and grief
Though long and hard the road may be"
But even in silence I heard the words
"An oath we shall swear
By the name of the one
Until the world's end
It can't be broken"

Just wondering how
I can still hear these voices inside

The doom of the Noldor drew near

The words of a banished king
"I swear revenge"
Filled with anger aflamed our hearts
Full of hate full of pride
We screamed for revenge

chorus

"Vala he is that's what you said
Then your oath's been sworn in vain
(But) freely you came and
You freely shall depart
(So) never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends"

"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!"
"You better don't trust him"
The enemy of mine
Isn't he of your kind and
Finally you may follow me
Farewell
He said

chorus

Back to where it all began
 

 

 

a dark passage

I feel cold
Facing the darkness
The light's gone away
Deep in his castle he said
All land'll be mine
There's one thing for sure
The triumph of shadow is near
Deep in his castle they sang
We shall not rest
Until all will be thyne

All land is mine
You can be sure
Don't dare me
the mighty one screamed

chorus:
Smashed down the light
I will not rest till I'm king
Valinor's empty now
allied the elves and men
they shall be damned

Rise of Fall
a dark tale ends

just wondering how
in the darkness
they found their way
to the right place
children of the sun
second kindred
we call their race
treat them kindly
born in the east
(are the) nightfearer
they moved westwards
towards the sunshine
(they are) morning breath like
short's their life
(like) dawn passes by
when the day comes
the field was lost
(and) hope had passed away
the sun went down
beyond the sea
dark was the hour
but day shall come again

chorus

Clean my wounds
wash away all fear
let courage be mine
noone hears me crying

no song no tale
which contains all the grief
(but)
renowned the deeds
and the victims of defeat

sit down on your chair
and look out for your kin
with my eyes you'll see
and with my ears you'll hear
you troubled my day
and you've questioned my strength
(but) don't mess
with the master of fate

chorus

I smashed down the light
and dared Valinor
I smashed down the light
revenge will be mine

Slowly marching on
still we're marching on
 

 

a past and future secret

listen crowd I'll tell you everything though I have to say
I don't know much talking about a past and future secret
most call him once and future king far back in the past I saw his
ending long before It started I knew his name he's the one who
took the sword out of the stone it's how that ancient tale began

Take him back to avalon dwell on for a new age so long sleep well
my friend Take him back to avalon I will wait and guard the future
king's crown
 

 

 

altair 4

At Hilly's show
they didn't know
that the Ending of "Being" is near
I can feel their voices
the old man cries
"Please save the boy
he's caught in a world far behind
from home"
Monster Anne is crying out
"Feel my pain I can't escape"
Bad chances for me

Ref.:

Altair 4 (3x)
chosen by their whispering words
What is left behind?
When purple colours turn to black
Can you feel it?
Is there time?
Can you see it?
Is there life?
"Fly away and dream"
 

 

 

and the story ends

And the story ends
Insanity said coldly
Still waiting for the chance
So out of nowhere it will rise
Oh, and another journey starts
By the call of the moon
Was it really me
I saw in the mirror screaming
I swallowed hate and lies
Through a thousand cries
Someone's sucking out my energy
What can I do
On this road to nowhere
Heart of dragon lies
At the edge of time
And the story ends
Insanity said coldly
Still waiting for the chance
So out of nowhere it will rise
Oh, and another journey starts
Into insanity's claws
 

 

 

And the there was silence

Turn your head and see the fields of pain
He carries a love, from a distant place
He`s on his way - he came
In shades of gray
We`re doomed to face the night
Light`s out of sight

Since we`ve reached the point of no return
We pray for starlight
We wait for the moon
The sky is sadly alone
In the unknown
We`re getting nowhere

We have been betrayed by the wind and the rain
The sacred halls empty and cold
The sacrifice made should not be done in vain
Revenge will be taken by ?wrath?

We live a lie under the dying moon
Pale face was doomed
Indulge us in the night

It`s getting out of hand
The final curtain will fall
Hear my voice!
There is no choice!
There`s no way out!
You`ll find out!

We don`t regret it
So many men have failed by now - be strong
Go out and get it
The man has said it shall be gone
We don`t regret it
But someone else lies hidden in disguise
Go out and get it
Orion`s soul shines bright

Don`t you think it`s time to stop
The chasing round the ring
Just a prophet running
Round the ring
Don`t you know the pain has made me silent
By the gods
Feel the distance
Distance
Out of reach

Welcome to the end
Watch your step Cassandra
You might fall
As I`ve stumbled on the field
Find myself in darkest places
Find myself drifting away
And the other world
The other world appears

By my side she dies in vain
Cannot be free I`m falling down
As time runs faster
It courts disaster
The ferryman will wait for you my dear

And Then Theere Was Silence
Just a voice from the other world

Like a leaf in an ice world
Memories will fade

(Chorus)
Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty will be gone
With a weary soul I`m released for a while
At the moment of Death I will smile
It`s the triumph of shame and disease
In the end
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell, show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright
The newborn child would carry ruin to the hall
The newborn`s death would be a blessing to us all

Good choice
Bad choice
Out of three
You`ve chosen misery

How our wisdom you deny

War is the only answer
Love will conquer fear

So when the judgment`s been made
To the fairest the graceful stands
Then he fails

Feel the need of passion
For the king
(don`t let `em in, don`t let her out)
Desire, lust, obsession
Death they`ll bring
We can`t get out once they are in

She`s like the sunrise
Outshines the moon at night
Precious like starlight
She`ll bring in a murderous prize

Jealousy!
I can clearly see the end now!
I can clearly see the end now!
I can clearly see the end now!

The flair of life is gone
The coin`s been placed below my tongue

Never give up!
Never give in!
Be on our side so we can win!
Never give up!
Never give in!
Be on our side!

Troy`s time is soon to come

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to lose life (??) understand

We`ll face the storm created by a man
Troy!

And as the lion slaughters man
I am the wolf and you`re the lamb

Troy shall fall!
Faithless shattered bodies fall

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to lose life (??) understand

It`s all for one and one for all
We live or we`ll be wiped out
I feel that something`s wrong
Surprise, surprise they`re gone
Full moon your time goes by
A new moon still kept out of sight
We live we die

Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty will be gone
With a weary soul I`m released for a while
At the moment of Death I will smile
It`s the triumph of shame and disease
In the end
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell, show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright

Roam in darkness (many times)
Crying, there`s a voice
And they`ve gone away
Empty words in their hearts

They tear down the wall, breaking in
They`re trying to leave with the lie
Lie
Lie

With my songs we welcome the end.. war!

The vision`s so clear
When day and dream unite, the end is near
You`d better be prepared

Naahahahaaahahaahahaaa!
Nah ah ahahaaaaah
The nightmare shall be over now there`s nothing more to fear
Nah ah ahahaaaaah
Come join in our singing and dance with us now
Nah ah ahahaaaaah
The nightmare shall be over now there`s nothing more to fear
Nah ah ahahaaaaah
The war it is over forever more

No more the blind leads the blind
A life that you just denied
Let us tell you there's far more inside !!!!
We`re in it to kill reaching the light

Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty will be gone
With a weary soul I`m released for a while
At the moment of Death I will smile
It`s the triumph of shame and disease
In the end
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell, show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright

Holy light shines on

So the judgment`s been made
With addict all the trials follow him (?)
The crack of doom, father
Your handsome son is heading home

Still the wind blows
Come inside then
There is news from a distant shore

Sorrow and defeat
Sorrow and defeat
Sorrow and defeat
 

 

 

And then there was silence

Turn your head and see the fields of flames

He carries along
from a distant place
he's on his way
he'll bring decay
(Dont't move along
cause things they will go wrong
the end is getting closer
day by day)
in shades of grey
we're doomed to face the night
light's out of sight

Since we've reached the point of no return
we pray for the starlight, wie wait for the moon
the sky is empty alone in the unknown
we're getting nowhere

We have been betrayed by the wind and the rain
the sacred hall's empty and cold
the sacrifice made should not be done in vain
revenge will be taken by rome

We live a lie
under the dying moon
pale faced laughs doom
indulges in delight

It's getting out of hand
the final curtain will fall
hear my voice
there is no choice
there's no way out
you'll find out

We don't regret it
so many men have failed
but now he's gone
go out and get it
the madman's head it shall be thyne
we don't regret it
that someone else dies hidden in disguise
go out and get it
orion's hound shines bright

Don't you think it's time to stop the chase
around the ring
just stop running, running
round the ring
don't you know that fate has been decided
by the gods
feel the distance, distance
out of reach

Welcome to the end
watch your step, Cassandra
you may fall
as I've stumbled on the field
sister mine
death's a certain thing
find myself in darkest places
find myself drifting away
and the otherworld
the otherworld appears

Find myself she dies in vain
I cannot be freed
I'm falling down
as time runs faster
moves towards disaster
the ferryman will wait for you my dear

And then there was silcence
just a voice from the otherworld
like a leaf in an icy world
memories will fade

 

Chorus:
Misty tales and poems lost
all the bliss and beauty
will be gone
will my weary soul find release for a while
at the moment of death I will smile
it's the triumph of shame and disease
in the end
Iliad

Raise the hands and praise the day
break the spell show me the way
in decay
the flame of troy will shine bright

 

The newborn child would carry ruin to the hall
the newborn's death will be a blessing to us all

Good choice?
bad choice?
out of three
you've chosen misery
power and wisdom you deny
bad choice, bad choice

War is the only answer
when love will conquer fear
so the judgement's been made
to the fairest
the graceful says
badly he fails

Warning
fear the heat of passion, father king
don't let him in
don't let her in
desire, lust, obsession - death
they'll bring
we can't get out,
once they are in

She's like the sunrise
outshines the moon at night
precious like starlight
she'll bring in a murderous price

In darkness grows the seed of man's defeat
jealousy
I can clearly see the end now
I can clearly see the end now
I can clearly see the end now

The thread of life is spun
the coin's been placed below my tongue

Never give up
never give in
be on our side
so we can win
never give up
never give in
be on our side

Old moon's time is soon to come

Nowhere to run
nowhere to hide
nothing to lose
like one we'll stand
we'll face the storm
created by a man

Troy troy troy troy

And as the lion
slaughters man
I am the wolf
and you're the lamb

Hallowed troy shall fall
round the walls
faith is shattered bodies fall

Nowhere to run
nowhere to hide
nothing to lose
like one we'll stand
it's all for one and
one for all
we live for will be wiped out

I feel that something's wrong
surprise, surprise they're gone
full moon your time goes by
and new moon's still kept out of sight
we live - we die

Chorus

Roam in darkness
spread the vision
we will be lost if you truly believe
- troy in darkness
there's a cold emptiness in our
hearts
that they've gone away
and won't come back

They'll tear down the wall to bring it in
they'll truly believe in the lie
lie, lie
with blossoms they'll welcome the old foe

The vision's so clear
when day and dream unite
the end is near
you better be prepared

The nightmare shall be over now
there's nothing more to fear
come join in our singing
and dance with us now
the nightmare shall be over now
there's nothing more to fear
the war it is over forevermore

No hope
the blind leads the blind
carry on
though future's denied
mare or stallion
there's far more inside
we are in at the kill
we'll cheerfully die

Chorus

Its holy light shines on

So the judgement's been made
we're condemned though the trial's far ahead
the crack of doom
father
your handsome son is heading home

Heading home

Still the wind blows
calm and silent
carries news from a distant shore

Out of mind
can't get it
can't get it out of my head

Sorrow and defeat
sorrow and defeat
 

 

 

another holy war

I am god
the only one
I will bring back
freedom to your heart
you won't believe
that blind can see
noone else before me ever knew
the way to paradise
for another bloody crime
I shall return

I am your light on through the night

Ref.:
Why am I born
will I fail to rise again
another crucifixion for
another holy war
can't stop what's going on
(repeat)

Sooner or later you must understand
my words bring freedom
and rescue for man
what else,
to call me your Messiah
oh, I wish there could be another way
cross and nails are already prepared
my sell out
waits till I'm crucified
I will die before my vision ends

Ref.

(Solo)

Wait for the dawn
to take me away
what will be if I fail
another golden calve
never, never ending
pain and agony
hit me, nail me make me god

Ref.
 

 

ashes to ashes

Taste the poison
Feel that this is life
Hallowed be the game
Of life and innocence
God's waiting for him
Join us at the road to fate
There are no two paths
Feel the pain
Which steps into his life

Agony
He'll be crucified
Death awaits
Knocking at his door
Agony
Leave him
the clock will strike the end
Hell or heaven
Reflect and fade away

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes, and you obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes you will obey
Time isn't here to stay
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and you obey
A light shows the right way

Lead: André

Morning is whispering in my head
Too late to say goodbye
Too late
The last breat's done
Deliverance at all
He's born to find this end
I am the one
The one who's calling
Obey my call to the cemetary
To step into the dark
Be sure that my voice
Will take you home

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and you obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes you will obey
Time isn't here to stay

Solo: André

No hope he'd waited so long
This can't be God's will
He surrendered long ago
There was no real chance

Ashes to ashes and dust will be dust
Ashes to ashes, you all will be dust again

Lead: André

The clock had struck the end
Up to heaven
Reflexions fade away

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and you obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes you will obey
Time isn't here to stay
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and you obey
Light shows the right way

Taste the poison
Fell that this is life
Hallowed be the game
 

 

banish from sanctuary

In deserts I was preaching
The hand of God was with me
Baptized with water and I praised
The one who came behind me
To save us all with the holy ghost
A prophet of the fools I've been lost

I'm sure you're there wandering around
But do you care for me
I'm alone
You talk of love not for me
In my dungeon cold I could think about
All the things you've said
But I can't understand you famous son
(Lead: André)

I left the way of heaven
Or did you lead me from it

Ref.:
No No turning back
I'm banished from Sanctuary
The darkness in me is filling me with pain
There's no way to turn back for eternity

In shadows I'm walking
And caught in loneliness
Deliverance I wait for but how long?
Are you the one who should come
Show me the light in you
Or should we wait for someone?
Another!

Ref.

(Solo: André/Lead: Marcus/André)

Your reich should come to this world
Your way smoothed by my blood, friend
My might will decrease but you'll get
High, yes so much higher
Be careful of the rats, friend
Cause they'll never sleep
Before they catch you, too

The blind can see the sun
Cripples walk alone
The deaf can hear my words
They believe just believe
They believe in me
Look! The signs are near
To perform my task
To perform my way
To perform the way I walked
The way of the crucifix
(Lead: André)

I hear the hangman coming
I wait for execution

Ref.
 

 

 

Battalions of Fear

Can't believe the things I see
That happens in the state
By a mortal distance that I can't believe

Self destructive infernal
To save us from the breed
But I know that it is all a lie

Star wars begin now
His bombs come exploding
To bring back the death of the night

No mercy he's knowing
How strong he must show us
For the last film you all get a part

Be by my side
Or you have to die
Believe what I do is the right

Lead: Andre

Soon Armageddon
Last hours are running now
The final solution begins

The words of a madman
No children to tell them
For what they will not see the light

Choose by your voice
He kills and destroys
At the end you must die for the night

In earlier chess games we're playing the part of a soldier
But now we are not qualified to save our own life

The traps are all placed by command they are ready to strike, yeah
We live and we will die by the lies, a lies to believe

Lead: Andre

Bridge:
Try to escape from this suicide dreams
Or past time will come back again
Hiroshima is a joke to that what will come
At the end of the game we all die
Die now

Battalions of fear

Battalions of fear
The way of R.R. to show he is the star

Star wars begin now

No mercy he's knowing

Solo: Marcus

With hands full of blood
He talks about peace
With snake poisoning tongue
He's praying

El Salvador and Vietnam
You soon fast forget
But you satisfy on Afghanistan

You've been the master
You kill with a laughter
Your screams of peace are wrong and loud
Cause so we are and here we are

We scream and shout !

Your laughing about all the fools

Scream and shout !

With power of evil they stand

Bridge:
Try to escape from this suicide dreams

Battlefield

Battlefield

It cannot be see
But there's blodd on the green.
Only god knws i'm innocent
Take me, take me home
A Drak seed reigns in me
Like the storm rules over the sea
I challenge thee, do not cross
This bridge alone

Don't dare me now
The threatening shadows will
Pass by
They're getting closer now
Open your eyes
Wake up my dear young friend
And hate shall fade away

I will not move yet
I'll stand still, instead

There on the battlefields he stands
Down on the battlefield he 's lost
And on the battlefield it ends

War and anger shall reign
The clash of iron can be heard
My blindness has driven you insane
I'm lost in anguish and grief
Sorrow won't last till you die
A shattered body deeply hurt
And darkness will cover the light
It's gone forevermore

The field's been left in sorrow
The father and the son
They're gone

The sun shines bright
And anger rises
Lorn and lonely
Torn apart
Don't you think
It's time to stop now
We were charmed and
Fooled by the old serpent's kiss.

Let's Prey
That heaven is on our side
Through violence and horror
shall honour arise

So let's pray
And blessed shall be our leader
We follow the noble and bright

Don't you hear me crying
Crying
Come take me away
I hallow thy name

There on the battlefields he stands
Down on the battlefield he 's lost
And on the battlefield it ends

War and anger shall reign
The clash of iron can be heard
My blindness has driven you insane
I'm lost in anguish and grief
Sorrow won't last till you die
A shattered body deeply hurt
And darkness will cover the light
It's gone forevermore

That's what the minstrel sing
Join in the horrible screams
Take part in the murderous deeds
Renowed be the lion-hearted
Join in the minstrelsy
wailing in endless grief
It eagerly longs for more

Broken bodies lay down on the ground

Blood sheds all over the place
The green will be stained forever
And hate reigns over all the field
They keep struggling on in anger

Fiercely intense
Outrageous, too blind to see
And in pain they keep on singing
We claim the land for the
Highlord
God bless the Land and our
Highlord
War and anger shall reign
The clash of iron can be heard
My blindness has driven you insane
I'm lost in anguish and grief
Sorrow won't last till you die
A shattered body deeply hurt
And darkness will cover the light
It's gone forevermore
 

 

black chamber

I am lost in the black chamber
There's now way to turn back
It takes me down forevermore
And death would be so sweet
I'm possessed by the old creature
Who had planned all
To take my soul
Too late for me
In my hands
It lies I thought
But i failed
How he's in me

My soul is lost
In his black chamber

I'm gone
 

 

 

blood tears

Welcome to my realm
We are both condemned to live
It's a dark fate
(I can hear your calls
I can hear your calls)
THE ETERNAL LIFE

I see it still burns
Each night I cry in pain

Alive
Though the end appears my friend

chorus:
And blood tears I cry
You've searched and you've found
Cut off your old friends hand

My mind's
In frozen dreams
The rotten flesh
Of bitter lies
Welcome to where time stands still
Noone leaves and noone ever will

Can't hold it
It burns
Each night I cry in pain

chorus:
And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside
And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside

It seems so clearly
Bent the bow
Cause life in me is gone
And a cruel wind's blowing cold
And a cruel wind's blowing cold
In blame

And life it shall wane
Each night I cry in pain

chorus:
And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside
Cut off your old friends hand
 

 

 

 

bright eyes

Fool just another
Fool just another
...

I've been waiting
For signs of god
Create, enslaved, behaved

I'm out of control
Get lost in a cold world

Leave me alone
Isolation bears hope
There's something else waiting
A promised destiny
Freezing me
I feel restless and low
These days full of sadness
Had joyfully changed into fear

My freakshow will start tonight
Don't miss the right time

Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
No Merlin is by my side

Everything is out of control
Everything is out of control
In my future plans
Everything is out of control
Noone's left to hurt
Everything is out of control
Sorrow's gone away
Broken memories
Walking upstairs
Step by step
I see the whole world burning
The poet dies in Neverland
How it burns

Hey, mother stubborn
I really hate you
If you say yes - I will say no
Ashes to ashes
But dust won't be dust
If you go there
I will go back

Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
Betrayed by sunrise
Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
No Merlin is by my side

Hey, father stubborn
You're ying
And I'm young
I feel alone
Who really cares
Born into ashes
To lose all the games
With a smiling face

Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
And dark dragons rise
Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
No Merlin is by my side

So I sit in my room today
Winter's here
In summer season shall I say
I was wrong
If I'm right
Farewell to my last hope

Damned for all Time - but what's time ?
Tales of the one who's born to change

And as the earth was old and cold
she closed her eyes and fell to sleep
violation ruled the world

He's called Hawkmoon wearing a sign
black jewel in his head
he's the one who's forever there
he's born a thousend times

Ref.:
Damned for all Time
in every age he existed
Damned for all Time
in every future he'll live
for all Time he's crying

Hey strange one I know
you're standing there
the faces are they mine ?
Are you out there ?
Watch out for the day, fiend
I'll kmow your name
hear my laughter

Oblivion - who's blowing the horn
Oblivion - who's killing the gods

Dark kingdom's lost now
no pain storms the land
strange things are happening
changing of all planes
in the universe by a mad magican
to conquer the power of his magic

Damned for all Time - who am I ?
Once I've been called Erekse

I was Elric - I'll be Corum
I'm the prince of the south ice
Now I'm nothing
wait for someone
wait for Ilian
No ! I'm Hawkmoon

Oblivion - the war is eternal
Oblivion - the battle is endless

fast to madness

White hair and red eyes
he's holding the crown
the king of the island
Elric of Melnibon
he's born for destruction
he's ruled by the gods
eternal hero
the scale of the universe

Blood on his hands
he's born a thousend times
why don't we feel the signs
from the dragon king
(Lead: André)

Before the end of the fire his yourney starts
the eagle's spreading his wings
following his fate
he's ruled from anywhere
leads him to the truth
it's deep inside

Hail to the king
they'll bless tonight
he's the Saviour of our time

In a dark land far behind
no one knows it's name
there's a dark sword cold as ice
a blade created for him

Stormbringer cries
for the soul of everyone
Stormbringer crues
"The ending has begun"

Ref.:
Run fast to Madness
Forever I
Run fast to Madness
Leave him alone

(Solo: André)

Ref.

Destiny's calling him back to the island
And time ? time is standing still
time is not real
time is not real

Armed with weapons awaiting the fight
he's leading the dragon
the sun will never rise
creatures are lurking
in darkness they hide
high in the sky the dragon king is flying

(Lead: André)

Hail to the king of Melnibon
he's the Saviour of our time

Mourning deserts rottingness
blade of dark will rise
gods devine
are hiding in the dark
needing Elric's hand

Stormbringer cries:
"I'm forged in darkest time"
Stormbringer cries:
"The ending has begun"

follow the blind

Follow the Blind
Your journey, your last hope, it can begin
these passing dreams
were real no fantasy
there are more things than we know
come take my hand

(Solo: André)

Searching for the talisman you'll find it
on another plane far from all time
maybe you wonder while you see
the same faces

Everywhere
you cand find yourself in it
cause you're a part

I'm another
strange my feelings
where am I here
for a short time
I remember I had been here

(Solo: Marcus)

Ref.:
I'm alone, follow me !
Calling you, follow me !
I'm alone, follow me !
Follow me
Follow me it's my time
Follow me
Follow the Blind

Wandering around in my darkest dreams
iron shadows are lurking at me
in this desert the tyrant's calling
On the run to save my Love
she's full of pain
the queen is lying far behind
in an endless dream

(Solo: André)

Before I thought I was dreaming
a strange voice whispers in my ears
you're the rat in the trap
return, or pain will come to you

Ref.: I'm alone ....No!

goodbye my friend

Who can tell me who I am
who I am my friend
I'm an Alien so they say
a risk to everyone
NO - Tell me what do they see
NO - Tell me what do they feel
NO - Tell me what do they fear
NO - Tell me what do they see
I'm a dwarf but i know more than you
and i'm the key to a better life
from terror i could escape
but i need your helping hand
so far from home where I'm left alone
Did you hear my crying?
Did you hear my crying?

Ref.:

Goodbye my friend
I found you at the end
I say Goodbye to all my cries
just say Goodbye

(lead: Andre)

And I'll remember
communication to you is so strange
you trust to noone no warmths reach your heart
to you I'm the stranger but you're strange to me
You destruct all what is unknown to you
We are together now
and don't you know I'll come back again
I must go now

Ref.: Goodbye...

(Solo: Andre)

I will go home now
I will go home now
much too long I'm forced to stay
in visions I see
so dark and so deep
mankind will destruct all life
See you again I hope I will
see you again at the end?
My tortured soul cannot forget the pain
now I find my way back
I WILL GO HOME NOW
I WILL GO HOME NOW
Ref.: Goodbye...

lord of the rings

There are signs on the ring
which makes me feel so down
there's one to enslave all rings
to find them all in time
and drive them into darkness
forever they'll be bound
Three for the Kings
of the elves high in light
nine to the mortal
which cry

(solo: Marcus)

Ref.:

Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and i walk to the hill

and there's no way out
Mordor
dark land under Sauron's spell
threatened a long time
threatened a long time
Seven rings to the gnoms
in their halls made of stone
into the valley
I feel down
One ring for the dark lord's hand
sitting on his throne
in the land so dark
where i've to go

(solo: Marcus)

Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and i walk to the hill
Lord of the rings

hall of the king

Alone I walk, hearing a voice
that's calling my name
no one should be here
take no one with you
god, why I didn't care

On through death take me away
to the place time will not fade

Colder than dead
darkness - eternity
but look out

A hundred thousand centuries
the sun had never seen
so near but so much too far
eternal place you know what's life
but cannot tell

I can never see you changing
but you look to me
time will never heal your wounds
but you're immortal

Ref.:
Hall of the King a vision of the end
Hall of the King don't cry for us
don't hear us calling
Oh watch out for me Hall of the light
my last sign

You find yourself
just take a look
to see you must open your eyes
like a hawk in the sky
a wonder that dies
don't ask me wy
(Lead: André)

You're the birth and you're the end
you've been hurt but you're not dead
discovering you is what should never be
poisoned are our souls
and dark our hearts
ruins we've left to rule the world
destructive are our minds
it's much too late

Harvest of sorrow

she is gone
leaves are falling down
the tear maiden will not return
the seal of oblivion is broken
and a pure love's been turned into sin

at the dawn of our living time
hope may cover all cries
truth lurks hidden in the shadows
dreams might be filled with lies
soon there will be night
pain remains inside

suddenly it seems so clear
all the blindness was taken away
she closed her eyes
and she called out my name
she was never seen again

harvest of sorrow
your seed is grown
in a frozen world full of cries
when the ray of light shrinks
shall cold winter night begin

she is gone
and i fall from grace
no healing charm covers my wounds
fooled 's the dawn
ans so i am
folled by life and a bitter doom
to bring you the end of day

at the dawn of our living time
hope it soon will pass by
facing a darkness
i stand alone

harvest of sorrow
your seed is grown
in a frozen world full of cries
when the ray of light shrinks
shall cold winter night begin
 

 

 

imaginations from the other side

Where are these silent faces
i took them all
they all went away
now you're alone
to turn out every light so deep in me
hold on, too late

Will I ever see them back again
or did they all die by my hand
or were they killed
by the old evil ghost
who had taken
the ocean
of all my dreams
which were worth to keep
deep inside my heart
I wish I
could get them back
from the everflow
before they'll fade away

Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
out of the dark
back to the light
then I'll break down
the walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side

where's the ocean's daughter
was Peter Pan in Mordor
no one's there to keep alive
all these fairy tales
may I return to Oz
will i meet the "Tin Man"
"Coward Lion" where are you
without brain the scarecrow's lost
in the middle of the lake
stranded in the real world
left in a world
no place for daydreams
serious life
I fall into
I fall into a dark hole
and i can't come out

Do you know if Merlin did exist
or Frodo wore the rings
did Corum kill the gods
or where's the wonderland
which young Alice had seen
or was it just a dream
I knew the answers
now they're lost for me

Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
out of the dark
back to the light
then I'll break down
the walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side

SOLO

I hope there is a way back
with my talisman
so I look into myself
to the days when i was just a child
come follow me to the wonderland
and see the tale that never ends
don't fear the lion or the witch
I can't come back
I'm lost but still i know
there is another world

Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
out of the dark
back to the light
then i'll break down
the walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side

 

 

 

in the forest

Now You all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song

Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs

There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
Noone should ask You for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story

Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And You're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain

In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men
And elves
Come close Your eyes
You can see them, too
