01. The Wicker Man - Lyrics:
Hand of fate is moving
And the finger points to you
He knocks you to your feet
And so what are you gonna do
Your tongue has frozen now
You've got something to say
The piper at the gates of dawn
Is calling you his way
You watch the world exploding every single night
Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light
Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death
Hello to eternity and live for every breath
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
The ferryman wants his money
You ain't going to give it back
He can push his own boat
As you set up off the track
Nothing you can contemplate
Will ever be the same
Every second is a new spark
Sets the universe aflame
You watch the world exploding every single night
Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light
Brothers and their fathers joining hands and make a chain
The shadow of the wicker man is rising up again
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
02. Ghost Of The Navigator - Lyrics:
I have sailed to many lands, now I make my final journey
On the bow I stand, west is where I go
Through the night I plough, still my heart, calculate and pray
As the compass swings, my will is strong, I will not be led astray
Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun
But I know, and I know and I know
I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost
As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost
As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea
The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me
Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves
Nowhere left to run, navigator's son, chasing rainbows all my days
Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been
Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so, nothings real until you feel
I steer between the crashing rocks, the sirens call my name
Lash my hands onto the helm, blood surging with the strain
I will not fail now sunrise comes the darkness left behind
For eternity I follow on there is no other way
Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun
But I know, and I know and I know
I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost
As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost
As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea
The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me
Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves
Nowhere left to run, navigator's son, chasing rainbows all my days
Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been
Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so, nothings real until you feel
I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost
As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost
As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea
The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me
Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves
Nowhere left to run, navigator's son, chasing rainbows all my days
Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been
Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so, nothings real until you feel
03. Brave New World - Lyrics:
Dying swans, twisted wings, beauty not needed here
Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear
I have seen many things, in a lifetime alone
Mother love is no more, bring this savage back home
Wilderness house of pain, makes no sense of it all
Close this mind dull this brain, Messiah before his fall
What you see is not real, those who know will not tell
All is lost, sold your souls to this brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
Dragon kings, dying queens
Lost my life, lost my dreams, rip the bones from my flesh
Silent screams laughing here, dying to tell you the truth
You are planned and you are damned in this brave new world
A brave new world, a brave new world
A brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
A brave new world, a brave new world
A brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
Dying swans, twisted wings, bring this savage back home
04. Blood Brothers - Lyrics:
And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life
What do you think you'd expect you would see?
Just like a mirror reflecting the moods of your life
And in the river reflections of me
Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see
And in a movement he beckons to me
And in a moment the memories are all that remain
And all the wounds are reopening again
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
As you look all around at the world in dismay
What do you see, do you think we have learned?
Not if you're taking a look at the war torn affray
Out in the streets where the babies are burned
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
There are times when I feel I'm afraid for the world
There are times I'm ashamed of us all
When you're floating on all the emotion you feel
Reflecting the good and the bad
Will we ever know what the answer to life really is?
Can you really tell me what life is?
Maybe all the things that you know that are precious to you
Could be swept away by fate's own hand
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
When you think that we've used all our chances
And the chance to make everything right
Keep on making the same old mistakes
Makes untipping the balance so easy
When we're living our lives on the edge
Say a prayer on the book of the dead
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life
05. The Mercenary - Lyrics:
Pay to kill, die to lose, hunted, hunter which are you
Diablo come again to make trophies out of men
Lose your skin, lose your skull, one by one the sack is full
In the heat dehydrate, know which breath will be your last
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
You've got to kill to stay alive
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
You've got to kill to stay alive
Show them no fear, show them no pain
Show them no fear, show them no pain
Show them no fear, show them no pain
Show them no fear, show them no pain
Human heart, human mind, intellect intertwined
Focus sharp in the night, watch the jungle burning bright
Toe to toe throw the line, everyone's caught hands tied
Iron will iron fist, how could it have come to this?
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
You've got to kill to stay alive
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
You've got to kill to stay alive
Show them no fear, show them no pain
Show them no fear, show them no pain
Show them no fear, show them no pain
Show them no fear, show them no pain
Show them no fear, show them no pain
Show them no fear, show them no pain
Show them no fear, show them no pain
Show them no fear, show them no pain
Show them no fear, show them no pain
06. Dream Of Mirrors - Lyrics:
Have you ever felt the future is the past
But you don't know how?
A reflected dream of a captured time
Is it really now is it really happening?
Don't know why I feel this way have I dreamt this time this place?
Something vivid comes again into my mind
And I think I've seen your face seen this room been in this place
Something vivid comes again into my mind
All my hopes and expectations looking for an explanation
Have I found my destination? I just can't take no more
The dream is true the dream is true
The dream is true the dream is true
Think I've heard your voice before think I've said these words before
Something makes me feel I just might lose my mind
Am I still inside my dream? Is this a new reality
Something makes me feel that I have lost my mind
All my hopes and expectations looking for an explanation
Coming to the realization that I can't take no more
I only dream in black and white I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white to save me from myself
I only dream in black and white I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white please save me from myself
The dream is true the dream is true
The dream is true the dream is true
I get up put on the light dreading the on coming night
Scared to fall asleep and dream the dream again
Nothing that I contemplate nothing that I can compare
To letting loose the demons deep inside my head
Dread to think what might be stirring that my dream is reoccurring
Got to keep away myself from drifting saving me from myself
I only dream in black and white I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white to save me from myself
I only dream in black and white I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white please save me from myself
Lost in a dream of mirrors lost in a paradox
Lost and time is spinning lost a nightmare I retrace
Lost a hell that I revisit lost another time and place
Lost a parallel existence lost a nightmare I retrace
I only dream in black and white I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white to save me from myself
I only dream in black and white I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white please save me from myself
Ohh oo oo ohh!
Ohh oo oo ohh!
Ohh oo oo ohh!
I only dream in black and white I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white to save me from myself
I only dream in black and white I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white to save me from myself
The dream is true the dream is true
The dream is true the dream is true
07. The Fallen Angel - Lyrics:
Azazel is besides you and he's playing the game
Demons are inside you and they're making their play
Watching and they're hiding as they wait for the time
For a devil to get ready and take over your mind
You and only God would know, what could be done
You and only God will know, I am the only one
You and only God would know, what could be done
You and only God will know, I am the chosen one
Could it be, it's the end of our world?
All the things that we cherish and love
Nothing left but to face this all on my own
'Cause I am the chosen one
Could it be, it's the end of our world?
All the things that we cherish and love
Nothing left but to face this all on my own
'Cause I am the chosen one
Beaten, fallen angel but I've risen again
And the power is inside me, I've decided to pray
As I wait for Armageddon and it's coming my way
It's an honor to be chosen and I wait for the day
You and only God would know, what could be done
You and only God will know, I am the only one
You and only God would know, what could be done
You and only God will know, I am the chosen one
Could it be, it's the end of my world?
All the things that we cherish and love
Nothing left but to face all this on my own
'Cause I am the chosen one
Could it be, it's the end of our world?
All the things that we cherish and love
Nothing left but to face this all on my own
'Cause I am the chosen one
Could it be, it's the end of our world?
All the things that we cherish and love
Nothing left but to face this all on my own
'Cause I am the chosen one
Could it be, it's the end of our world?
All the things that we cherish and love
Nothing left but to face this all on my own
'Cause I am the chosen one
08. The Nomad - Lyrics:
Like a mirage riding on the desert sand
Like a vision floating with the desert winds
Know the secret of the ancient desert lands
You are the keeper of the mystery in your hands
Nomad, rider of the ancient east
Nomad, rider that men know the least
Nomad, where you come from no one knows
Nomad, where you go to no one tells
Undercover of the veil of your disguise
The men that fear, you are the ones that you despise
No one's certain what you future will behold
You're a legend, you own story will be told
Nomad, rider of the ancient east
Nomad, rider that men know the least
Nomad, where you come from no one knows
Nomad, where you go to no one tells
No one dares to even look or glance your way
Your reputation goes before you they all say
Like a spirit that can disappear at will
Many claim of things but no one's seen you kill
Nomad, you're the rider, so mysterious
Nomad, you're the spirit that men fear in us
Nomad, you're the rider of the desert sands
No man's ever understood you're genius
Those who see you in horizon desert sun
Those who fear your reputation hide or run
You send before you a mystique that's all your own
Your silhouette is like a statue carved in stone
Nomad, you're the rider, so mysterious
Nomad, you're the spirit that men fear in us
Nomad, you're the rider of the desert sands
No man ever understood you're genius
Legend has it that you speak an ancient tongue
But no one's spoke to you and lived to tell the tale
Some may say that you have killed a hundred men
Others say that you have died and live again
Nomad, you're the rider, so mysterious
Nomad, you're the spirit that men fear in us
Nomad, you're the rider of the desert sands
No man, ever understood you're genius
09. Out Of The Silent Planet - Lyrics:
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are
Withered hands, withered bodies begging for salvation
Deserted by the hand of gods of their own creation
Nations cry underneath decaying skies above
You are guilty, the punishment is death for all who live
The punishment is death for all who live
Out of the silent planet, dreams of decimation
Out of the silent planet, Come the demons of creation
Out of the silent planet, dreams of decimation
Out of the silent planet, Come the demons of creation
The killing fields, the grinding wheels crushed by equilibrium
Separate lives, no more disguise, no more second chances
Haggard wisdom spitting out the bitter taste of hate
I accuse you before you know the crime it's all too late
Before you know the crime it's all too late
Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation
Out of the silent planet, Come the demons of creation
Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation
Out of the silent planet, come the demons of creation
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are
Out of the silent planet, dreams of decimation
Out of the silent planet, Come the demons of creation
Out of the silent planet, dreams of decimation
Out of the silent planet, Come the demons of creation
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are
10. The Thin Line Between Love And Hate - Lyrics:
When a person turns to wrong
Is it a want to be, belong?
Part of things at any cost
At what price a life is lost
At what point do we begin
Fighter spirit a will to win
But what makes a man decide
Take the wrong or righteous road
There's a thin line between love and hate
Wider divide that you can see between good and bad
There's a gray place between black and white
But everyone does have the right to choose the path that he takes
We all like to put the blame
On society these days
But what kind of good or bad
A new generation brings
Sometimes take just more than that
To survive be good at heart
There is evil in some of us
No matter what will never change
I will hope, my soul will fly
So I will live forever
Heart will die, my soul will fly
And I will live forever
Just a few small tears between
Someone happy and one sad
Just a thin line drawn between
Being a genius or insane
At what age begin to learn
Of which way out we will turn
There's a long and winding road
And the trail is there to burn
There's a thin line between love and hate
Wider divide that you can see between good and bad
There's a gray place between black and white
But everyone does have the right to choose the path that he takes
I will hope, my soul will fly
So I will live forever
Heart will die, my soul will fly
And I will live forever
I will hope, my soul will fly
So I will live forever
Heart will die, my soul will fly
And I will live forever
The thin line between love and hate
When a person turns to wrong
Is it a want to be, belong?
Part of things at any cost
At what price a life is lost
At what point do we begin
Fighter spirit a will to win
But what makes a man decide
Take the wrong or righteous road
There's a thin line between love and hate
Wider divide that you can see between good and bad
There's a gray place between black and white
But everyone does have the right to choose the path that he takes
We all like to put the blame
On society these days
But what kind of good or bad
A new generation brings
Sometimes take just more than that
To survive be good at heart
There is evil in some of us
No matter what will never change
I will hope, my soul will fly
So I will live forever
Heart will die, my soul will fly
And I will live forever
Just a few small tears between
Someone happy and one sad
Just a thin line drawn between
Being a genius or insane
At what age begin to learn
Of which way out we will turn
There's a long and winding road
And the trail is there to burn
There's a thin line between love and hate
Wider divide that you can see between good and bad
There's a gray place between black and white
But everyone does have the right to choose the path that he takes
I will hope, my soul will fly
So I will live forever
Heart will die, my soul will fly
And I will live forever
I will hope, my soul will fly
So I will live forever
Heart will die, my soul will fly
And I will live forever
The thin line between love and hate
The thin line between love and hate
