[words & music by Thomas C. Hansen]
Tonight I'm standing all alone
My heart is cold as a stone
You start to cry, when I tell you why
I have to go away, but I will be back some day
There's someone whispering in my ear
They tell me dying time is near
Don't be afraid we will show you the way
There's no other place you can go
Just close your eyes, and we'll go
Open the gate, let us in
And we'll fight until we win
Cause surrender is not the thing we do
We will stand side by side
Till there's no more place's to hide
You must fall to your knees and look above
Watch the sky
The stars can tell you where you are
They seem so close but still so far
Just watch the sky
One last time before you die
Brothers of metal unite
It's time to stand up and fight
Let our voices be heard
Forever and for more
Lift the flag up high
Wave it in the sky
Cause metal never dies
It will lead us to Victory
Together we build a force
Stronger than steel stronger than all
Tonight we are all in the crowd
There's no turning back it's gonna be loud
The words I hear is calling out again
They creep inside the darkness of my brain
I'm falling down but cannot touch the ground
The stream of light is closer than I see
Can I escape from my own destiny?
Or am I trapped inside for eternity?
Travel through time and space we will help you survive
Watching the years fly by
If we could start again would you help us my friend
Or would you not dare to try
Something's must change before it is too late
The time is right we gotta have some fate
We take a journey into the past
We see the things that man have done before
The evil the terror the destruction of it all
Is this really worth fighting for?
In the dark you will rise up to light the fire again
In the quest for a reason to start all over again
Lost in time the world is falling everything is falling apart
No escape from the terror that looks you in the eye
Travel through time and space we will help you survive
Sometimes we have to choose
We may not like the choice we have
Sometimes we're bound to loose
In this game that some call life
You feel the heat again
You try to run but you have to stay and jump
Through the fire we go
You feel the flames, but nothing brings you down
Through the fire we go
You feel the heat, but this time we let it burn
The world is full of crime
The world is full of hate and pain
Sickness and decease
They are calling from far away
The voices are crying for help
and I have to leave tonight
I am flying through a thunderstorm
Navigating in the night
I'm diving from the rain
I am the Raven, king of the sky
Show me the reasons to live or let die
Falling from heaven, a master of flight
I am the Raven fear me tonight
I am the Raven
Below I can see my destiny
Up in the sky looking down at my pray
as they run away
I am gliding silently
Trough the air, down to earth
Tonight I'm gonna leave this town behind
Gonna pack my things and then I'll say goodbye
Tomorrow a new journey will begin
The iron bird will carry me with the wind
As I start to walk away
You take my hand and then I'll say
Every time when I am away from you
I feel alone and I am missing you
So far away but still you are close to me
In the stars I see your sign
No matter where I go will you wait for me?
Even if it will be for eternity?
A million miles away but I will return
Cause in the stars I see your sign
Tomorrow I am far away from home
Seeing places I have never seen before
So many men have travelled here before
And many will travel here once more
As my journey finally ends
Another day goes by, another desperate cry
A million souls will burn in a lake of fire
When all we had is lost, no more winter frost
A million souls will burn in a lake of fire
Is this the point of no return?
Is it too late for us to learn?
Is this the day that we will pay?
Will it all fade away?
The savior, will save us, our savior, will save us
The savior, he will come
Inside this empty shell, a soul is hidden well
A million dreams will burn in a lake of fire
Forgotten how to love, but remembers how to hate
A million hearts will burn in a lake of fire
Now I see there's another way to get out from this hell we created
In my heart, in my soul
There is a darkness that could unfold
Hold it back, push it down, don’t release his evil crown
It’s a king, it’s a god, it wants’ control over my blood
Can you hear me now?
Or are you lost forever?
Trapped inside of your mind
Can you see me now?
Or are you blinded forever?
Please don’t leave us all behind
In my mind, there is something wrong
I can feel it, it won’t be long
Hold it back, push it down, don’t release his evil crown
It’s a king, it’s a god, it wants’ control over my blood
No more light, no more me
I have redrawn myself, and ceased to be
You let it out, you let it loose, the evil crown he now
will use
A long, long time ago
In a land of ice and snow
The legend of our people was born
Be ware of the mighty sword
Obey Thor the thunder god
To Valhalla we go when we die
Row! Row! Out to the sea
Row! Row! We're off to see the world
Row! Row! Odin be our guide
Row! Row! You cannot break our pride
Oh oh oh... Oh oh oh
The fire in our hearts can burn right through your soul
Take my life but you can't take my fire
Out here on the ocean you don't stand a chance when you see
The masters of the sea
Set sail in the morning sun
When the wind and the tide is right
For days they could stay on the sea
The North Star they used to navigate
In Gods they would keep their fate
From sunrise to sunset
All over the world
People are dreaming of a much better world
The colours are fading
The fields are no longer green
The water is being poisoned
Do you know what this means?
When the last chance is coming it might be to late
We must open up our eyes stay strong and keep the faith
All the things that man has done isn’t always for the
good
Now it’s time to change our ways and I hope it’s
understood
It’s our last chance
From the dawn of time
From the very first crime
Man has evolved for better or for worse
Why are we doing this?
Why don't we care?
Why can't we all be friends and take care of what's out
there?
It’s our last chance
It’s our last chance
It’s our last chance
Beware of the iron curtain
Once it fall you will never get out
Never close the door to your heart
Cause it won't fade away in the night
How could this happen to me?
I am strong, I am not weak
Ah ah The Iron curtain is falling
Ah ah And the walls are closing in
Ah ah The Iron curtain is falling
Ah ah My whole world is crumbling down
Down on me
Sitting trapped in a corner
Boiling sweat runs down my back
Shaking like an earthquake
As the anxiety attacks
The darkness surrounds me
The weight is heavy as hell
My mind is like a tornado
It's spinning inside of this well
I can't feel my arm anymore
And my chest hurts like hell
I am crying like a baby
And I am afraid I won't get well
It's the iron curtains
Don't let them fall
Words are pouring from your mouth again
Friendly eyes is smiling, wants to be your friend
There is a beast behind the mask that is ready to attack
Once you walk into his trap he will watch your neck snap
Falling down into the trap, there is no way out for you
Hellfire, burn burn, we wanna watch you burn
Always waiting for another one to come
Starts out friendly and then they break you when it’s
done
Like a cat who’s playing with a mouse that’s on the run
They chase you down and bring you back to finish what’s
[words & music by Thomas C. Hansen]
Rain is falling down, All over your grave
Hope is all I've got, keeps me from going insane
There is a place far beyond
Where you can go to get the strength to carry on
Fly far away, to the heavens gate
There you can rest in peace
Fly away, to the heavens and you'll find
It's time for you to leave this world behind
Pain is all I feel, and I just can not believe
If I could walk into the fire
If I could walk right through the storm
If you could see my dark desire
You would be dying but not alone
If I could stop the world from burning
If I could rescue everyone
If you could see me in the mirror
You would be crying all alone
Out there, somewhere
The reasons for everything
Searching, falling
Deep into your heart
The Hand of fate, is never late
It will strike right from the sky
You can try to run, but you can not hide
From the hand of fate
Is there a place without no sorrows?
Is there a place where we can start?
To try an make a new tomorrow
Or will it all just fall apart?
If we all stand together
If we all are ready to fight
There will be a new tomorrow
Inside of this soul there is not much control
When the walls are falling down
There is no one to help you when you need it most
You got to stand your own ground
Fortress of Solitude
Fortress of crime
Fortress of Solitude
Don't waste my time
Pictures are flashing and burning my brain
How can I focus with all of this pain?
Noises are creeping inside of my ear
How can I live my life when all I feel is fear?
In good times and bad times you are there for me
The one that I care for but no one can see
The shadow is dancing a warrior's dance
This time I wont make it, I don't have a chance
Fortress of Solitude
You can't win
I won't go down
The heat from the sun, we face a global warning
It's only just begun, it's time to choose or we will loose
There'll be no place to call our home, the earth will fade away
There's no place to run away when the firestorm is here
Bright light burns your eyes, no more roses, no paradise
There will be no escape from the firestorm
A tornado of fire is burning everything
[words & music by Thomas C. Hansen]
It's early in the morning
And the birds are singing high in the sky
I'm watching the sun arise
For the first time I am feeling alive
I never saw the sign, that the world would come to an end
I could never understand, why we all couldn't live in peace
We don't have much time
We all have to leave the world behind
When fire melts the ice
The only hope is here in paradise
When fire melts the ice
Nothing lasts forever
When fire melts the ice
A thunder storm is coming
The water is rising, there's no way out
A fire is still burning
But very soon it all will be lost
I can never forget, all the times that we spent together
I will never regret, that I took a chance and met a stranger
We still have each other
There is a voice deep inside, and it’s telling me to go
Far too long I have tried to heal, but I know it’s time
for a change
Hold on to your dreams, don’t ever let them fade away
Because you only got one life
Even though I'm leaving here today, I won’t forget about
yesterday
And you will always be in my heart
But this is farewell
All the years I spent with you, is something I will never
regret
Your memory will never die, but now it’s time to say
Doors are closing, system fails
The final curtain is now falling down
Take a bow and say goodbye
The lights go off for the very last time
No more great reviews
No more applause
Falling down it seems like there is no ground
Don't know how I ended up this way
On the edge is where I spent most of my time
Falling deep into the abyss again
Liquid shadows on the wall
The show is over and the audience is gone
Empty rooms and empty chairs
The theatre of life is ending here
Coming back from the beyond
I see that people have been moving on
Thinking that I might be forgot
Behind the perfect smile lurks the dark
A twisted mind who likes control
Inside the kindness you'll find hate
A heart of ice and no remorse
Wake up the world and realize what is wrong
Open up your eyes and see all the things that are going
Find the things that we have lost in a world so cold and
grey
When you see something you don't like don't turn the
other way
In a cage born and raised, is that right?
The only purpose is to please our greed
Man plays god and can do anything, is that right?
[words & music by Thomas C. Hansen]
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away
The evil empire was building a force, destroying all in its way
Lord Vader, he's the man in black
Helmet of steel helps him to breathe, and with Jedi force he attack
The death star is near
But the rebels have no fear
The dark side of the force
They'll never join
Star Wars, the rebel fleet is on the way
Star Wars, they have come to save the day, Star wars
A new hope is here, and he's gonna save us all
He is so young but his force is so strong, Luke Skywalker is his name
Our freedom, he's gonna bring back
He has come to lead us into the light, it's time to stand up and fight
He flies among the stars
With the speed of light he goes
The dark side of the force
He'll never join
Yoda my master
Teach me how to fight
The evil Lord Vader
Is dying here to night
Star Wars
We fight for freedom
We fight for glory
[words & music by Thomas C. Hansen]
Going back in time, long before the human kind
When there was no evil minds
Driven by a force, let the nature take its course
Only the strongest will survive
But then the man came like a virus to this world
And spread evil to the earth that gave him birth
Once there was no crime, and no greedy selfish minds
Mother earth was in control
Living by the rule, killing just for food
Keep the balance in control
We are the keepers of time, the guardians of life
We know everything that the future will bring
Earth wind and fire is what we control
A burning desire that lives in us all, Keepers of Time
Looking back in time, through the history we find
That the humans will not learn
Make the same mistakes, as so many have before
Until this earth can take no more
Keepers of time, the guardians of life
They know everything about the future
We will take back control, and the evil will fall
[words & music by Thomas C. Hansen]
Hear the thunder, see the lightning
Feel the rain comes poring down
Hear my heart beat, see my anger
Feel the force that strikes you down
You've betrayed me, for the last time
Now you must pay for your sins
Kneel before me, say you're sorry
Close your eyes and feel the pain
I am trapped again
Inside the storm
We can fly away to the unknown
If you're cold, ill keep you warm
You are safe inside the storm
See the moonlight, hear the voices
You can hear them calling you
Cannot answer, life is fading
There is nothing you can do
Someone's crying, someone's trying
To keep the life in you
Now you're sorry, but it's too late
This is the end for you
You are safe inside
You will join the ride
[words & music by Thomas C. Hansen]
The night time has come
The lights are out
It's time to scream and shout
Once we go on
And start to play a song
We all know where we belong
It's time to go wild again, it's time to thrash all around
It's time to wake up again, to the loud and heavy sound
Heavy metal is in my heart and soul
Heavy metal is in my blood
Forever the music will live on
Forever it carry's on
Heavy Metal Heart
We enter the stage
Like a dog in a cage
waiting to be released
Grinding our teeth
And we're banging our heads
[words & music by Thomas C. Hansen]
Do you remember the time when I was afraid and alone
You took me into the light and showed me the way back home
But the memories are still haunting my mind
I try to run away but they are taking me back in time
Freedom calls for you my friend
Freedom calls for you again
Forever time has stood still
And now it's time to break free
Do you remember the time when the enemy came to our land
They tried to kill all of us but we had a much better plan
We led them into our trap and killed them one by one
And when the battle was done our freedom we had won
From this hole in the ground I have crawled
For so long I've been cold
Now I'm out and a free man I am
I'll never be a slave again
Never be a slave again
I am free, and I owe it all to them
[words & music by Thomas C. Hansen]
Riding down the valley of the Kings
I hear the song of a thousand years
Once you've seen the things that I have seen
Your soul will die if your mind's not clean
In the valley of the kings
Steel meets steel once again
In the shadow you will find
All the victims left behind
For a thousand years they've been coming here
To spill their blood for the King
You can hear the sounds of the fighting men
Who gave their lives again and again
Die for your King
And the land of the free
And the right to believe
The ancient code
Will still carry on
As long as you're heart is real
Die for your king
And the land of the free
Hear the people sing
No more blood will flow when I get the power
Everyone will have the right to say what they want
No more! No more illusions you will hear the truth this time
Just give me your vote and I will save your soul
Falling into the same trap again
Never learning so hear me when I say
You are a liar!
I see you on my TV, I hear the things you say
Bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla
You keep making promises that you will never keep
Corruption is the game but I don't want to play
Liar, liar, pants on fire!
You are a liar and liars will fall
The years are passing by me
The world will change around me
And life will always be a big illusion
So hard to be a part of
A life that's so confusing
To many things is going on inside of me
I fly on my own
I decide where to go
I have finally found
My own wings of freedom
I speak up my mind
I am no longer blind
I have finally found
My own wings of freedom
To many times of sorrow
To many lies to swallow
I'm breaking loose now and I'm not coming back again
I feel the wind around me
I see the world below me
Once your born you start to die
From the air that keeps you alive
As you grow it's hard to stay true
To yourself and the people around you
Searching, for the answers to it all
Sometimes you may wish that you had never been born at
Creating a wall, afraid you're gonna fall
You don't want anyone else to see the same as you do,
when you look into
The mirror can tell, even though you hide it well
You don't want anyone else to see the same as you do,
when you look into the mirror of truth
Hate, hate I see it in your eyes
even though you're wearing a disguise
I told you once, I told you twice
Far to long I have been alone, will I end my life tomorrow?
I have tried to keep on going on, but all I get is sorrow
No one hears my cry
I believe in miracles but will they ever hear me
They seem to be so far away and never coming near me
Will it ever be my turn and will I ever see them
Cause the miracles that I have seen has never been for me
A voice inside is telling me to stay, but it's very hard to do it
I'm afraid of loosing my mind, if I don't find a solution to it
I believe in miracles cause finally they heard me
They used to be so far away but now they are near me
Finally it was my turn and finally I saw them
You feel that all hope has gone
There's nothing more to loose
You see that the world falls apart
And every day is the same
No more feeling sadness
No more hurting pain
No more tears like rain
No more people dying
No more endless fighting
No more emptiness
There's a hero in all of us
One who will fight for all
No more darkness will blind us
Once again we'll be free
A hero in all
When all the passion has gone away
And you are feeling alone
Remember there is always someone out there
Into the story and out of the storm
Dark times have been before
A quest for a dream was the strength of it all
The reason to carry on
We are fighting for a dream that we have
And no one shall stand in our way
No matter how long it takes, we shall over come
Cause believe me the day will come
When you will hear a symphony of glory
As your dreams come true
A victory to show them all that never did believe
The symphony of glory is real
Inside every heart there's a fire that burns
But there are so many rainy days
Hold on to your dreams cause they will make you strong
And in the end your time will come
Sometimes life is so hard
And everyday is a struggle to survive
Keep on dreaming and you will see
That your dream becomes reality
It's the symphony of glory
And it's here to stay for eternity
The symphony of glory
The first time I ever saw your face
I felt something in my heart
A feeling that I never knew before
Could this be a brand new start?
I was lost in your eyes
Could you be the sun of my life?
I thought that I never could
Have someone like you
She made me feel so funny
The feeling was so strange
I love her very easy, It will never change
She's the one that I would love, to have and know that I
Have met my Sweetie pie
All the days that has gone by, my love will never die
For her my Spanish eyes
The days with you are the best I have had
I hope we will have many more
My life has changed but I'm still the same
The Joker and friend for all
I 'am lost in your eyes
Cause you are the sun of my life
I thought that I never could
Have someone like you
Oh how she looks
Oh how she smells
I feel a tingling in my bells
She's the one that I now love, I have her and I see
That she's the one for me
All the days that has gone by, my love will never die
For you my sweetie pie
My Spanish eyes
Oh my love it is so true, and it is just for you
The love I've never knew
Hear these words and you will see, the only one for me
Why do we have to live this way?
This is no way of living
Can we find another day without hunger and deceiving?
Is there life for all of us?
I think that we can make it
Understand the meaning to life, death and spirit
In a world of war and crime
We are hoping for salvation
Out of the ashes we will rise, to fight for every nation
Like the eagle in the sky
We see the glance of sunrise
The morning glory for us all, we are standing tall
One day we'll live forever for one and all together
Now we all stand together
To fight for the right to live
The air will be cleaner than ever
We can breathe without getting a disease
From the dark he will come
And save everyone
Healing the world with his power
All the shadows will go
And we all will know
That now salvation is here
Hate is something that we don't need
We must learn to all get along
Years of fighting will finally end
And they will see that there was no point at all
Salvation is here
Coming out from the dark
Rise of the Empire
The new world soon will come
Rise of the Empire
The war has just begun
Here he comes, the man behind the mask
He holds so much power, he holds the key to the world
He is no longer human, but a cyborg with no heart
Never turn, your back at this man
He holds so many secrets, he holds the truth of the sith
He once was a human, but now he's more machine
You will never see the light again
If you don't stand and fight
The dark side is growing powerful
But with the force we can take them all
Watch him fly, he's the fastest in the universe
He has always been a fighter, always been the one
But with the anger growing stronger, he gets closer to his fall
You thought you could do it again
Just change what you want but never ask
This time you have gone to far
There's no turning back you'll have to pay
Revenge is sweet
A contract was written in gold
But turned out to be nothing more than shit
You can take this piece of paper
And show it up your ass you piece of thrash
Paragraph 04 in the contract, broken
Paragraph 09 in the contract, broken
Paragraph 14 in the contract, broken
So the day did come, when we got our chance to show the world
That we can be apart, so with this contract we did start
With no cash with no loans, we where making it on our own
But very soon it got dark, it seemed like it all would fall apart
Is there no one who can help us now?
Are we lost? Are we out of the game?
Will there be no release? Aaaah ah ah ah
We had a deal but no it's gone, we cannot finish what we've begun
This cant be right, this must be wrong, where is this hell now coming from?
So very close but still so far, will you help us to heal this scar?
Time runs fast no hope in sight, our dream was fading in the night
There was a light that we did see, was it dream or reality?
We must be strong and carry on, because it's here that we belong
But suddenly the things did change, we would break out from our chains
And finally we did see, the end of eternity
Finally we where seeing the end
I feel it, I hear it, I see but can't believe it
I fear it, I've tried it, and now I'm free at last
We seem to have lost the
Will to give a helping hand
But it's not to late to make a change
A new life has begun (From the darkness he rise)
Through the years I have learned to live with the pain
As the story unfolds (He reveals all his past)
All the secrets is out a new life has begun
The hard times, the sadness, it's hard to live and learn
No more illusions, break down the walls
Here comes the truth, crushing at your balls
Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh we're heading for a fall
So many signs, so many warnings
You tried to let us know, we didn't want to see it
Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh we're heading for a fall
Damnation, the mankind will fall
Damnation, we have doomed us all
Damnation, there's no return
Damnation, It has come to watch us burn
The world is getting warmer, the climate is changing
Pollution of the sky, is this how we shall die?
Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh we're heading for a fall
Time is running out, it will soon be too late
We better act right now, cause tomorrow it's to late
Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh we're heading for a fall
"As the world starts to fall"
"Darkness will come"
"All forms of life will disappear"
"And our failure will be complete"
Damnation of the world
The final hour is here
Destruction, horror and pain
All hope is lost
All we need is one more hero
So what we've feared has begun
It's the end of the world this is the end
Now they will cry out in fear
The metal machines are taking control
Save us, save us
We don't want to die
Fear them, see them
Falling from the skies
It's a cyber world and it's out of control
There is no more places to hide
We created them to serve and protect
But now we all will die, Ooh ho hoo
Cyborgs from hell
They are human machines
Metal and flesh combined into one
A brain from a human was tried
What a mistake, now we will die
There will be no one alive
[words & music by Thomas C. Hansen]
No more time to waste
Let's fly into space
Crossing the universe
I can see the star light
With the speed of light
We will fly tonight
Looking for unknown lands
The future is out there somewhere
We fly so high across the sky
A million light years away I hear you cry
Let the journey begin
Fly away with the wind
Spread your wings
Leave your worries behind
All that you see is reality
So welcome to the cyber future
Time is running out
Faith is all we've got
If we find this place
We can save the human race
One more mile to go
Then we'll know for sure
If the end has come for us
Or we will get our victory
A fire is burning in the sky
Is this the end of you and I ?
Take my hand and let us pray
That we survive one more day
I have read it in the sand
The prophecy is in your hand
The cyber world is coming fast
I wonder how long we will last ?
Down in a hole, dirty and cold
Crawl through the mud and into the light
Fire below, faster we go
Now it is time, we’re gonna break free
The big wheels are turning
Over and over again
Now that we see all the horror and pain
We must walk through the darkness and rain
The sun we will see if we stand through the flood
Because we are bounded by blood
Over the wall, get out of sight
Never give up without a fight
Tormented souls, crying in pain
Stars are shining so far away
Even though they died a long time ago
The world is only a tiny place
In a universe that still is unknown
Are we the only ones? (in this universe alone?)
Is our mission here undone?
Far beyond the galaxy, is there a place for you and me?
And if it’s true then I will follow
The world has served me pretty well, but has now turned
into a hell
So I'll be leaving here tomorrow
Fear is filling my heart and soul
But I know it all will fade when we reach our goal
Let’s go! We fly with the speed of light
To a destination that is still unknown
Beyond the universe, destiny will call
Beyond the universe, a future for us all
Forever going on, until we find this place
Beyond the universe, we know there is a place that we can
call home
Where do we go from here my friend,
Staring at the wall, I see the shadow fall
Is there someone at the door? Have I been in here before?
Voices calling, please don’t let them take me
Voices calling, there’s no place to hide
Darkness falling, terror creeps inside me
Darkness falling, the smell of death arrives
Behind these walls, tears are falling
Behind these walls, every day feels like there's no
tomorrow
Behind these walls, the darkness is moving
Behind these walls, here you shall stay forever more
My heart is slowing down, as I lay here on the ground
When I take my final breath, I close my eyes and welcome
death
What happened to me?
Am I dead?
Is this really the end?
Can I go back?
Please let me go!
A fire is burning in the night
The stars are shining so bright
It's always a silence before the storm
But when hell breaks loose the rage is born
Listen to the voices inside you
They will guide you and show you the way
We are far away from home
We come from beyond the sun
We fight for freedom my friend
And we'll stand by you until the end
A warrior is razing his sword
Screaming I will die for my lord
The sound of steel and metal is so loud
Raise your head look ahead and be proud
Be thy cross my victory, let me live for eternity
Requiem, Aternaem. Dona Eis Domine
Dans La Glorie, De Ton Ciel
(Almighty god, give us eternal rest, be thy cross my victory)
Time is changing world is burning
Clock is ticking still we're not learning
World is dying people are crying
I'm the ice man
I am the assassin,
I'm just a killer that kills for fun
He had a though childhood
He never knew love
Should we forgive him? Feel sorry for him? No!
Awaken The Monster
It never ever sleeps
It's waiting for the next victim
The hunger never stops
I kill for no reason
Look at me the wrong way
