Sub sole nihil novi est
ad aspera per aspera
quaerite prime regnum dei
ante bellum memento mori
Dolcissimae... oh Fortuna... Venit Meos...
[Instrumental]
Launch The Silver Spear
The World Will Cry A Tear
In The Heavens Will Appear Another Angel
Hear The Elders Cry
Waiting For Their Time
As They Look Towards The Heavens
Why Won't They Answer?
We Are Playing With Nature
Splitting The Atom
Confusing Religions
Killing The Masses
We Are Not Separate From What We Destroy
Time Has Come For Us To Make The Only Choice
We Are Not Separate From What We Destroy
Time Has Come For Us To Make The Only Choice
We Rape For Our Power
Not Caring For Life
We Tarnish Our Waters
'til They Are As Black As Night
We Visualize The Future
With The Eyes Of The Blind
We Hear Nature Calling
But We Still Deny
We Are Not Separate From What We Destroy
Time Has Come For Us To Make The Only Choice

CLOSING MY EYES AGAIN
TO FORGET ABOUT THE DAY
I'VE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE
AND I'LL SEE IT ALL AGAIN
BUT I'LL NEVER KNOW JUST WHY
OH LORD, HELP ME TO SEE A WAY
TO LIVE THIS DREAM
FOR MY TIME IS RUNNING SHORT
AND MY PATIENCE WEARING THIN
BY MORNING I'LL NEVER KNOW
WHAT SHAPE I'LL BE IN
A BROKEN RAINBOW FALLS FROM THE SKY
THE TEARS OF SORROW FILL A YOUNG MAN'S EYES
THERE'S A DARK CRY FROM DEEP INSIDE
FROM A SPLINTERING HEART
THIS RIVER I RIDE ON ALWAYS
SEEMS TO FLOW MY WAY
AND THE STARS I LOOK TO GUIDE ME
SHINE BRIGHTER THAN THE DAY
THE SILENCE OF THE NIGHT
CALMS A TROUBLED MIND
THE WORRIES OF THE DAY
JUST SEEM TO FADE AWAY
(FADE AWAY)
A BROKEN RAINBOW FALLS FROM THE SKY
THE TEARS OF SORROW FILL A YOUNG MAN'S EYES
THERE'S A DARK CRY
there's a pain within
that I can't define
there's an empty space
where your love used to shine
from the night we met
till the day you died
do you think I wished
do you still believe I tried
all too soon we were divided
and life had just begun
will you revive
from the chaos in my mind
where we still are bound together
will you be there
waiting by the gates of dawn
when I close my eyes forever
I belong to you
you belong to me
it's the way things are
always meant to be
like the morning star
and the rising sun
you convey my life
and forgive me what I've done
all too soon we were divided
in darkness and light
will you revive
from the chaos in my mind
where we still are bound together
will you be there
waiting by the gates of dawn
when I close my eyes forever
save me
reverse how I'm thinking of you
every breath I take
brings me closer
closer to forever, to you
I just had a dream
She was by the riverside
Alone and dressed in white
Paling in the cold
Walking on the icey face
On memories of glory days
Carry on, carry on
Meet me on the other side
Once the mourning after turns today
Carry on, carry on
Keep on to the other side
The mourning after slowly fades
How could I have known
Just the thought is simply wild
In her whomb...a little child
I am left to roam
On the surface of a dream
In a world that can't be seen
Carry on, carry on
Meet me on the other side
Once the mourning after turns today
Carry on, carry on
Keep on to the other side
The mourning after slowly fades
Carry on, carry on
Just you carry on
'Till the mourning is over
Carry on, carry on
Just you carry on
'Till the mourning after leaves
Carry on, carry on
Meet me on the other side
Once the mourning after turns today
Carry on, carry on
Keep on to the other side
The mourning after slowly fades
Carry on, carry on
Meet me in another life
Once the mourning after turns today
Carry on, carry on
Cross the water, cross the tide
The mourning after slowly fades
Where has all the magic gone
Lost behind or lost along
A victim of the pulse of our society
Don't you miss the ancient times
The riddles and the subtle signs
A relative perspective on reality
I get stronger in the splendor
Of a lucid moon
Only creatures of the night
All my demons cast a spell
The souls of dusk rising from the ashes
So the book of shadows tell
The weak will always obey the master
Heading for the dragons lair
Another time and a different sphere
I leave the nothingness behind
And when the sense of logic yields
I'll escape the outer shields
Into the universal mind
I get stronger in the splendor
Of a lucid moon
Only creatures of the night
Can heal my wounds
Maybe the sound of your voice
Made me believe that that you were her
Just like the river disturbs
My inner peace
Once I believed I could find
Just a trace of her beloved soul
Once I believed she was all
Then she smothered my beliefs
One cold winter's night
I may follow her voice to the river
Leave me for now and forever
Leave what you can
Somewhere in time I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep
I was a liar in every debate
I drew the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves it comes to an end
Quietly now go to sleep
How could that first time recur
When memories linger on and on
What made me think you were her
Helena is dead to all dead to all
Nothing can bring her to life
Don't pretend that I've been loving you
Once I believed she was gone
I corrupted from within
Leave leave me for now and forever
Leave what you can
Somewhere in time I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep
I was a liar in every debate
I drew the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves it comes to an end
Quietly now go to sleep
(roy:)
Follow me into the light
(simone:)
Dance on a lake of tears
I'll take you through
(roy:)
Or leave me tonight
(simone:)
I've gone too far to begin all anew
(both:)
With someone like you
Somewhere in time I will find you and love you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep
I was a liar in every debate
I drew the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves it comes to an end
Quietly I'll go to sleep
The Edge Of Paradise
Sleepless...
Not really quite awake
Where the soul conforms
To deeper needs
Free within frames of custody
I revolve my spirit and exhale
On the edge of paradise
Poison burning
In my veins
Unavailing...compromised
My dreams remain the same
Soothing but yet so violent
In this world within the other world
Moonlight...in visions...heaven sent
I see demon eyes and wings unfurled
On the edge of paradise
Poison burning
In my veins
Unavailing...compromised
My dreams remain the same
On the edge of paradise
Powerless
I sail on by
Undermining life itself
Snow
I never count on yesterday
Because the past can also change
I'll never give myself away
Life is worthwhile on the edge
Words sound so hollow in the cold
Maybe she's forgotten all
I don't remember how
I felt the night she came
Memories spin around
They flow
Don't want to let her down
Moments disappear like shame...like snow
Signs never told me anything
Nothing I could know for sure
I never knew what she would bring
Or what I am to her today
My words...
Almost swallowed by the snow
Maybe she's forgotten all
I don't remember how
I felt the night she came
Memories spin around
They flow
Don't want to let her down
Moments disappear like shame...like snow
She is the poison in my mind
The thorns in my head
She has no mountain to be climbed
No faults to regret
I never count on yesterday
Because the past may not exist
I'll never give myself away
When there's reason to resist
Words draped in crystals melt away
I don't remember how
I felt the night she came
Memories spin around
They flow
Don't want to let her down
music: youngblood lyrics: warner
BLACK IS THE NIGHT THAT CALLS ME
SINNER FROM A SIN
THE WATERS THAT ONCE DID BLESS ME
NOW BURN MY SKIN FEARING THE FIELDS OF FIRE
AND THE WAR THAT'S WITHIN
I'LL DRAW MY SWORD FOR THE LAST TIME
IT'S HERE THIS WILL END
BLACK IS THE NIGHT THAT CALLS ME
A VOICE FROM WITHIN
PLAYING WITH MY EMOTIONS
WHEN WILL IT END?
PROMISING PURE DESIRE
OF THE PLEASURES OF SIN
I'LL DRAW MY SWORD FOR THE LAST TIME
IT'S HERE THIS WILL END
YOU MAY TRY TO FIND ME
I'LL HIDE DEEP IN YOUR HEAD
YOU MAY TRY TO FIGHT ME
I'M A SEED FROM DEEP WITHIN
YOU MAY NOT RECALL INVITING ME
BUT I WAS THERE THE FIRST TIME YOU SINNED
YOU MAY NOT RECALL INVITING ME
BUT I WILL BE HERE UNTIL THE END
I rest my eyes
on the open field
a silver line
to heavens gate
my mind is blank
it's a state I know
a sacred place
where all I see is hate
I raise my head
to retain my wrath
the savage force
that lives inside of me
foe to foe
one will die and one will be
and I pray she holds my soul
can you hear me calling?
silent goddess won't you
conduct my fear away
silent goddess won't you be
closer when I hate
the battle cries
and the sound of steel
another quest
for holy land
some true belief
in each open wound
in Luna's light the lonely victor stands
and I hope she holds my soul
can you hear me calling?
silent goddess won't you
conduct my fear away
silent goddess won't you be
closer when I hate
silent goddess will you
forever be the same
silent goddess can you
feel this heart pulsate
you know that I die for belief
I swear by the sword in my hand
the sum of the pain and the grief
is nothing compared to the
wealth I obtain
[Instrumental]
Rule The World
When a new day reaches dawn
I feel it's worth the wait
But I tumble and I fall
When up against my fate
When the barricades come down
I build them up again
When I'm just about to drown
I still don't know the end
[Chorus:]
Sometimes I tremble
Like a little child
That faces morning
With a broken smile
Sometimes I crumble
When the shades unfurl
Sometimes I feel that
I could rule the world
[Solo]
When the morning comes alive
Release your love brigade
At the end of day it's night
To suck it up with hate
[Chorus x2]
(That faces morning
With a broken smile
Sometimes I crumble
When the shades unfurl
Sometimes I feel that
music: youngblood, lyrics: warner
HEAT FROM THE GROUND FEEDS THE FIRE
MY DESIRE TO LIVE WITH THIS RAGE
WITH THOUGHTS OF YOU FILLING MY NIGHTS AND MY DAYS
SOUNDS OF THE SPEAKING OF TONGUES
VISIONS OF CIRCLES UNDONE
KEEPS THIS HEART OF MINE BEATING FOR THE TIME
OF OUR MEETING WILL COME
AND NOW I TURN TO THE GODS
WHICHEVER WILL LISTEN FROM BELOW OR ABOVE
HEAR MY CRY, FEEL MY PAIN
IF I SHOULD FALL, I'LL START OVER
AGAIN HEAR MY CRY, FEEL MY PAIN
IF I SHOULD DIE, I WILL RISE AGAIN
I SCREAM TO THE SKY FULL OF ANGER
MY BODY INCREASINGLY WEAKER
I WON'T DIE FOR YOU - I WON'T DIE FOR YOU
HEAVEN IS A HEARTBEAT AWAY
HEAR MY CRY, FEEL MY PAIN
IF I SHOULD FALL, I'LL START OVER AGAIN
HEAR MY CRY, FEEL MY PAIN
[Instrumental]
music-Kamelot lyrics-Youngblood
I saw your shadow disappear
Outside my door today
Now i'm left here lost and alone
I light a candle in your name
An eternal burning flame
Shining like the sun to find your way home
Cold tide tower my way
And now I know
Warm skies shower my face
Find your way home
I knew this day would come
But I feared it anyway
Now my castles cold and dark
What was once a dream now becomes our destiny
And I can't wait another day
What was once a dream now means everything
To me.To me.
No country can divide
No seas can separate
Our souls tonight
We are one
What was once a dream now becomes our destiny
And I can't wait another day
What was once a dream now means everything
SHRILL OF THE HORN SCREAMS MY NAME
POUNDING THE GROUND
THE GAMES BEGIN
THE CROWD THEY ROAR
THE BLOOD IT BOILS INSIDE ME
I FEAR NOT YOU YOU FEAR NOT ME
THE SWORDS ARE DRAWN
AND SHIMMERING
THE TIME HAS COME AGAIN
TO HONOR OUR KING
THE GODS HAVE BLESSED
THIS WICKED GAME
FIGHT WE MUST AND SHOW NO SHAME
FOR THE TIME HAS COME AGAIN
TO FEED OUR BLOOD THIRSTY KING
I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES
REFLECTIONS OF THE SKY
A WHISPER ON THE WIND
AS YOUR SOUL SAYS GOODBYE
REDS SANDS UNDERNEATH MY FEET
STAINED BY THE BLOOD
I DRAW FROM THEE
RED SANDS AS FAR AS I CAN SEE
TAINTED THESE LANDS
STAINED BY HISTORY
WHAT ONCE WAS A WHISPER
NOW IS AN ECHO IN MY HEAD
THE LOOK ON THEIR FACES
AS I STAND IN THIS SEA OF RED
I FEEL THE EVIL RISING
HEAR THE MESMERIZING
VOICE FROM HELL
FEEL THE EVIL RISING
HEAR THE MESMERIZING
"All that you see or seem, is but a dream without a dream"
[Edgar Allan Poe]
can you remember the morning
I told you goodbye
just when a new was dawning
a piece of me died
somehow I have to try to
getting used to being alone
If I could only hold you once again
I'd never let go
save me a prayer
when day turns to night
lord won't you
show me the light
one day - I'll find back to my heart and soul again
one day - I swear swear by your name
memories keep me awake
and you're there by my side
I wonder if its only in my mind
that I am alive
save me a prayer
when day turns to night
lord won't you
tell me I'm right
one day - I'll find back to my heart and soul again
[Instrumental]
yet a day is dawning
I am sad but also strong
this gift that I've been given
tells me where I do belong
falling I'm falling down
and you recall my strength
time will slowly pull me under
but you will catch my breath
this is a praise to all of you
cause the light I shine on you
is what you gave to me
I'm a crystal clear and true
I'm your cairn and creed
you think that I'm a mountain
but there's a price I have to pay
for the love I have forsaken
can never be replaced
crying I'm crying out
be careful with my soul
unbounded I'm like water
but so fragile in the cold
and this is a praise to all of you
cause the light I shine on you
is what you gave to me
I'm a crystal clear and true
I'm your cairn and creed
the mysteries of life
take us high and low
the road can be long
it seems
someone is lost
but no one is free
falling I'm falling down
into your open arms
each and every gathered glow
maintains my shining star
this is a praise to all of you...
little do I know
little do I care
little would it help
if knew and was aware
aim beyond the stars
catch a glimpse of gold
a planetary chart
where the stories are untold
there's a piece of truth for everyone
give me something to die for
like a sacrifice for days bygone
in my solitude
there's a place where I want to hide
with a view to a shallow moon
there's a star in my cosmic mind
that reminds me of you
a gathering of wolfs
under luna's light
fear of the unknown
make us worshippers at night
there's a compromise for everyone
but I need something to die for
like a sacrifice for days bygone
in my solitude
there's a place where I want to hide
with a view to a shallow moon
there's a star in my cosmic mind
that reminds me of you
tokens of the afterlife
feeding on the blood of christ
chasing for an alibi
searching for the holyland
following the masterplan
does it matter in end?
souls unwoken
hearts unbroken
lunar rites
seize tonight
Track comments to "The Fourth Legacy"
"New Allegiance"
Intro music to the CD, we wanted to do something different this time for
our intro. The past had the typical epic intro that a lot of bands seem to
do these days. We liked the feel of this melody and it's a perfect
beginning to a diverse and powerful record.
"The Fourth Legacy"
We wanted to have a song that is an anthem to the past, present and future
of Kamelot. The words all refer to just that. We also wanted to torture
the drummer with a speedy, uptempo song like this one delivers.
Audentis Fortuna iuvat. (Fortune assists the bold)
"Silent Goddess"
This record has a few references to God and war. The irony of wars in the
name of God. The story of this song starts on the battlefield and the
warrior in the heat of battle. He is praying to Mother Mary for
foregiveness. The question, is it right to kill in the name of religion?
"Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even
from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope."
"Desert Reign"
Intro song to Arabia. Sascha and I wanted to make this as authentic as
possible. We hired an Arabian musician for percussion and other strange
instruments I've never seen or heard before. The result is a trance like
song that sets the mood perfect for what's to come.
"Nights of Arabia"
This is based on the tales "Arabian Nights" written 100's of years ago.
Out of this tale spawned Sinbad, Ali Baba and many more. Queen Sheherazade
is kept captive and sentenced to die for adultery. The song was my
favorite to record and also the lush strings we added make it very Epic.
"The art of being a slave is to rule one's master".
"The Shadow Of Uther"
We based this song on Uther Pendragon. Father to Arthur of the fabled
Camelot tales. Based in Ireland, the song captures the melodies that
emanate from that region.
"Desire, mans ultimate friend or foe"
"A Sailorman's Hymn"
The album's ballad. This song started out while Khan was visiting me in
America. We were in the middle of writing Alexandria and the electricity
went out in my house. So we lit some candles I started plucking the
acoustic guitar with the main melody of the song. "Bright are the Candles
that shineth tonight" was the original chorus. That inspired the
connection between a Sailorman's loved one back home waiting for his
return from the sea. Backup vocals by Icelander Rannveig Sif
Sigurdardottir add the finishing touches to my favorite Kamelot
ballad to date.
"Hope springs eternal life"
"Alexandria"
Based on Alexander the Great. His conquest and triumphs that led to his
eventual immortality in history.
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
"The Inquisitor"
This is another song that touches on the subject of faith and religion.
In the past and still the present, people were persecuted for their
beliefs. The Inquisitor had the distinction of judging those who were
deemed sinners or witches. We wanted to capture that feel with the
hypnotic chorus.
"Fear of things invisible is the natural seed
of that which everyone in himself calleth religion"
"Glory"
This song was originally meant as a small piece to complement the record.
After a few rehearsals it turned into a very Baroque and moving piece. We
envisioned a String Quartet to complement the arrangements and that just
what we did. The final result for us was beautiful.
"The paths of glory lead but to the grave."
"Until Kingdom Come"
A man's soul mate has died and he is struggling with reality with out her.
Her ghost appears to him in dreams to comfort his fears and one day they
will reunite. Another fast uptempo tune that we will be incorporating more
with the new drummer.
"Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives"
"Lunar Sanctum"
This is more of an experimental song for us. Different than any on the
record, the lyrics are very ambiguous. We want to see what the fans read
into the meaning. Overall the song caps off a CD full of energy and
dedication to staying true to ourselves and our fans.
"There is something haunting in the light of the moon; it has all
the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its
C'era una volta un uomo
Con gli occhi verso la luna
E si chiedeva
Verr presto l'amore?
E che altro esiste
In un cuore gelato
Tranne il pensiero di un'assassinio
Molto silenzioso
(Instrumental)
[Instrumental]
Live
freedom fires burning
mighty kingdoms shall rise
crystal ships have returned
like pawns on a distant shore
there's a cold empty place inside
where you know there's no end
mighty storm mighty storm
stirs from the skies above
like a cold chill rushed upon my face
searching - for what awaits us
set a course for a new shore
for what tomorrow will bring
plunging the northern seas
winds fill the sails
as we approach another world
that time has forgotten me
the sun blinds and circles me
no man is an island
no footsteps have walked these shores
discoveries on virgin soil
let the Expedition begin
searching - for what awaits us
set a course for a new shore
mirror can you tell me
how to stay forever young
let me know the secret
I will hold my twisted tongue
please protect my beauty
velvet skin so pure and white
hear my name resounding
like a hymn at dead of night
once I struck a servant
she's a virgin free from sin
drops of blood caressed me
and refined my aging skin
could this be the answer
uncorrupted carmine red
voices keep resounding
in my dazed bewildered head
have I found myself eternity
someone has heard my prayers
now I'll become divine
have I found myself divinity
I'm no longer a slave
Sleepless
Not really quite awake
Where the soul conforms to deeper needs
Free within frames of custody
I revolve my spirit and exhale
On the edge of paradise
Poison burning in my veins
Unavailing...compromised
My dreams remain the same
Soothing but yet so violent
In this world within the other world
Moonlight...in visions...heaven sent
I see demon's eyes and wings unfurled
On the edge of paradise
Poison burning in my veins
Unavailing...compromised
My dreams remain the same
On the edge of paradise
Powerless, I sail on by
Undermining life itself
My will to wonder why
On the edge of paradise
Poison burning in my veins
Unavailing...compromised
My dreams remain the same
On the edge of paradise
Powerless, I sail on by
Undermining life itself
My will to wonder why
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
I'm not sure
If she could ease your pain
You've been gone for awhile
Crushed you heart and soul
And teased your bane
Hush your mouth
Here she comes
Watch out
She can see you
Like the hounds of Hell
Smell your fear when you flee
Here she comes
Velvet ocean paradise
The power sorceress
At your fingertips
God made flesh
Perfect Alibi
You saw her walking
Over poison ivy leaves
Nobody knows her name
But something must have
Opened your eyes it seems
Cause nothing is quite the same
I'm not sure about a thing
You know
Days are long in the haze
Here she comes
Velvet ocean paradise
the power sorceress
Get a glimpse of God
Here she comes
With her good advice
You wanted every single moment
You've resigned
Knowing there's none to blame
You might as well
I swear on my life you tried
As if tomorrow came
Searching in the deepest forest
Merging with belief you saw her
All you've seen and all you've known
music-Kamelot lyrics-Khan
I had to climb the highest mountain
I was on my own
And i had to walk through fire and rain
In my search for you
I will search for you
I had to sail the seven seas
Into no mans land
And I found my place in history
Found out who I am
Who am i?
Irea
I close my eyes and call your name
Irea
I pretend you're mine again
I fall into you once again
Chasing memories
And i will live in Cardinal Sin
when you set me free
Wont you set me free?
Irea
I close my eyes and call your name
Irea
I pretend you're mine again
Irea
I need you here
Irea
Live
due to the legend
a new king will come
rise in the morning horizon
brave and believing
for wars to be won
born with the heart of a lion
he will fight for a country unite
till the last drop of blood confines the oath
till all will respect him wherever he roams
deep in the woods
he can hear she's alive
lost in the dark
of a dragons lament
searching the highlands
in trying to find
trace of Morgana
the Princess of Hate
he will be holding
the sword in the stone
knights of the kingdom will join him
bring back the honor
of Pendragons name
from where the cauldron is boiling
but the shadow of Uther restrains
all the efforts to reunite the realm
a witch of his own blood from heaven expelled
deep in the woods
there are prints in the sand
leading towards
where the angels repent
king of the ocean
king of the land
nothing can save him
from Merlin's consent
coming of storms
battles of war
knights of thunder are fearless
thus goes the legend
the tale I was told
now we await his appearance
but the shadow of Uther remains
there is no way the king can break the oath
The Pendulous Fall
[Limited Edition Bonus Track]
In a garden in a hand
Lies a key to shadow land
You're far from feeling strong
The worst begins
In the sediments of life
In the comfort of a knife
You hold your breath
And pray to god it won't take long
And you wonder where the rainbow ends
With its autumn setting sun
[Chorus:]
There's a way from it all
Though the chances are small
We'll come back again
Won't you think it over
Life is a pendulous fall
But maybe worth the pain
And soon enough we'll go
Where nobody can touch us
Like a mother you were aimed
And you gave her what she claimed
Just like a good old friend
In the abyss of the mind
You found all there is to find
Bet we all have broken hearts to mend
So you wonder where the rainbow ends
Where the world must have begun
[Chorus:]
There's a way from it all
Though the chances are small
We'll come back again
Won't you think it over
Life is a pendulous fall
But maybe worth the pain
And soon enough we'll go
Where nobody can touch us
[Solo]
[Chorus:]
There's a way from it all
Though the chances are small
We'll come back again
Won't you think it over
Life is a pendulous fall
But maybe worth the pain
And soon enough we'll go
Life is a pendulous fall
But maybe worth the pain
(So you wonder where the rainbow ends)
sometimes my visions
are distant and vague
down at the base
of the mountain
once in a while I am
weak and afraid
tired and sick of it all
I don't believe
that my story is set
nothing is destined
or blatant
bound to this body
a world full of hate
no one will heed if I fall
no one can see it
but you know that it's there
guiding the steps of your soul
holding the truth
in the cross that you bear
die with a heart that is bold
fly on the wings of despair
no one is holding you back
the call of the wild is internal
conquer the silence you fear
tomorrow will not fade to black
a new day is dawning
remember
no one's controlling your fate
the questions are more
than the answers I know
that doesn't mean you are lonely
searching for more
consecutive goal's
making it worth to go on
no one can see it
but you know that it's there
guiding the steps of your soul
holding the truth
in the cross that you bear
die with a heart that is bold
fly on the wings of despair
no one is holding you back
the call of the wild is internal
conquer the silence you fear
tomorrow will not fade to black
a new day is dawning
remember
no one's controlling your fate
you, and you alone
is forging the path
leave your sorrows with the past
never believe
that the story is set
nothing is destined
or blatant
bound to this body
a world full of hate
music-Kamelot lyrics- Pavlicko
Spinning twisting in my hand
I hold the key to this wasteland
I've been searching it for you
Don't try to run
Don't hide away
There is no hope you can't escape
I see your smile fade away
Your bright blue sky has turned to gray
Tonight
Unlock the door
Close your eyes
I'll set you free
Here, in this spiralling darkness
Where my pleasure is your pain
Fear wraps it's arms around you
Here:is where i reign
It feels so good
This feels so right
That you should be my sacrifice
Don't try to run
Don't hide away
There is no hope you can't be saved
Here, in this spiralling darkness
Where my pleasure is your pain
Rules without exceptions last eternally
Every move you make creates your destiny
I've come to soak my sorrow in halo black
As black as the seed of my soul
Cause when the lights are down
There's no more to say
Love is the real pain
An internal revolution in our minds
And when the lights are down
You're so far away
Tell me your real name
In the silence of the darkness we unite
(Rules without exceptions last eternally
Every move you make creates your destiny)
What can protect me from the past
And all the things that I have done
She told me and then she were gone
But when the lights are down
There's no more to say
Deep in the shadows
Where the last of my delusions made a stand
Cause when the lights are down
She'll take me away
Tell me her real name
And in death we'll live the love we never had
welcome all ye faithful beneath the moon
beneath the moon
Into the void as one
Marching on
*Solo*
Cause when the lights are down
There's no more to say
Love is the real pain
an eternal revolution in my mind
cause when the lights are down
she'll take me away
tell me her real name
It was just another night
She held me in
Her arms so tight
We were dreaming with the
Stars in our eyes
But I never realized
Like The wild in a cage
Waiting to be free
A bird on the ground
With a broken wing
You wanted to fly
You had to be free
But what about me?
It was just another day
You had so much to say
Our love was still strong
But you had to be free
Like the wild in a cage
Waiting to be free
A bird on the ground
With a broken wing
You wanted to fly
You had to be free
But what about me?
Now the sands of time
Have buried the heartbreak
You walked in with the wind
Uncovered the memories
You're holding your arms out to me
Temptation is all I see
I have to be strong
You had to be free
Cause it's all about me
Like The wild in a cage
Waiting to be free
A bird on the ground
With a broken wing
You wanted to fly
You had to be free
launch the silver spear
the world will cry a tear
in the heavens will appear
another angel
hear the elders cry
waiting for their time
as they look towards the heavens
why won't they answer?
we are playing with nature
splitting the atom
confusing religions
killing the masses
we are not separate
from what we destroy
time has com for us
to make the only choice
we are not separate
from what we destroy
time has come for us
to make the only choice
we rape for our power
not caring for life
we tarnish our waters
'til they are as black as night
we visualize the future
with the eyes of the blind
we hear nature calling
but we still deny
we are not separate
from what we destroy
time has come for us
in the black of the night she appears
I can see that she's trying
to relocate the source of my fears
I've been searching her high and low
in this dream she will show me the door
to a new revelation
and I know that I've seen her before
that she'll bring me salvation
I remember when she was still alive
always there by my side
every day is a fight to survive
every minute a shattered memory
like the sun shining down on me
like the breeze on the ocean
you're the path of my destiny
I know you will follow me until Kingdom Come
when I watch from the tower at night
into fading horizons
I can see her shade in the twilight
dressed in silver she's dancing
I remember as if it was today
always there by my side
you are reason, and relief to my pain
and one day we will reunite
like the sun shining down on me
like the breeze on the ocean
you're the path of my destiny
I know you will follow me until Kingdom Come
like the sun shining down on me
like the breeze on the ocean
you're the path of my destiny
This Pain
Pushing for the limit of sanity
Pushing for the surface
...so I can breathe
Dark is the night for us all, but some days
I feel the light crawling down from these jagged walls
Blessed sunlight
Some of this pain is sole subjected
But what was I to do
Some of this pain will always stay
Deep and true
I left her with a warning... without protection
'Cause the human nature has its ways with lust
With her back against the wall she crumbled
Just a minute more would have saved her life
And even so... part of me
Blessed sunlight
Some of this pain is sole subjected
But what was I to do
Some of this pain will always stay
Deep and true
I see her shame in my desire
It all took place too soon
Some of these wounds will always bleed
She was so kind to me
She sang her little shadow song
And I could not resist it
Bitter blood, come sing along
With your hand upon the bible
Would you swear that is the truth?
The whole truth and the truth alone
If she had only shut her mouth
Shattered memories of quiet cold rejection
A careful devil's irony in pure perfection
In pure deceit
You ask me
Was it all I had to tell?
Was it all I could recall?
Know that I broke her neck
A twisted china white visage
I may seem unaffected
But don't we all want to be god?
Is it all you can remember?
Would you swear it on your life?
You will never really know
My name without reflection
A careful devil's irony in pure perfection
In pure deceit
But in the moment it's so beautiful
Flow along with a hunger
With the nature of the beast
These are shattered memories
Of quiet cold rejection
A careful devil's irony
In pure perfection
You will never really know
My name without reflection
A careful devil's irony in pure perfection
where has all the magic gone
lost behind or lost along
a victim of the pulse of our society
don't you miss the ancient times
the riddles and the subtle signs
a relative perspective on reality
I get stronger in the splendor
of a lucid moon
only creatures of the night
all my demons cast a spell
the souls of dusk rising from the ashes
so the book of shadows tell
the weak will always obey the master
heading for the dragons lair
another time and a different sphere
I leave the nothingness behind
and when the sense of logic yields
I'll escape the outer shields
into the universal mind
I get stronger in the splendor
of a lucid moon
only creatures of the night
due to the legend
a new king will come
rise in the morning horizon
brave and believing
for wars to be won
born with the heart of a lion
he will fight for a country unite
till the last drop of blood confines the oath
till all will respect him wherever he roams
deep in the woods
he can hear she's alive
lost in the dark
of a dragons lament
searching the highlands
in trying to find
trace of Morgana
the Princess of Hate
he will be holding
the sword in the stone
knights of the kingdom will join him
bring back the honor
of Pendragons name
from where the cauldron is boiling
but the shadow of Uther restrains
all the efforts to reunite the realm
a witch of his own blood from heaven expelled
deep in the woods
there are prints in the sand
leading towards
where the angels repent
king of the ocean
king of the land
nothing can save him
from Merlin's consent
coming of storms
battles of war
knights of thunder are fearless
thus goes the legend
the tale I was told
now we await his appearance
but the shadow of Uther remains
there is no way the king can break the oath
music-Kamelot lyrics-Youngblood/Khan
Remembering that day
I see my body below me
Sighs rend the air
Night will it find the day
Or will I slumber for Eternity
There's a knocking at the gates
The darkness is calling me
How will i know what awaits?
Pulled through these hollowed halls
The light in the distance
As my spirit falls
I must not leave this world
But i lost my resistance
Heaven held before me
I can see The fires are churning
Is this really how it has to be?
Parting Visions in my head
Calling out your name
It screams to be heard
Voices in my head
Parting Visions in my head
Calling out your name
It screams to be heard
yet a day is dawning
I am sad but also strong
this gift that I've been given
tells me where I do belong
falling I'm falling down
and you recall my strength
time will slowly pull me under
but you will catch my breath
this is a praise to all of you
cause the light I shine on you
is what you gave to me
I'm a crystal clear and true
I'm your cairn and creed
you think that I'm a mountain
but there's a price I have to pay
for the love I have forsaken
can never be replaced
crying I'm crying out
be careful with my soul
unbounded I'm like water
but so fragile in the cold
and this is a praise to all of you
cause the light I shine on you
is what you gave to me
I'm a crystal clear and true
I'm your cairn and creed
the mysteries of life
take us high and low
the road can be long
it seems
someone is lost
but no one is free
falling I'm falling down
into your open arms
each and every gathered glow
maintains my shining star
The Human Stain
See the cemetery sky
Carmine red and deep
Watch the oceans rising high
It's the human stain
Talk about the growing hunger
Ask why with deep concerned
Don't you think the human races
Is ceaselessly vain
[Chorus:]
But it hurts to be
Alive my friend
In this silent tide
We're driftwood passing by
Don't you wish you
Were a child again
Just for a minute
Just for a minute more
Hear the ticking of a clock
The sound of life itself
No one really wants to die
To save the world
Tell me that you're torn asunder
From how we fail to learn
And tell me if the Earth goes under
Where's your anger now
[Chorus:]
So it hurts to
Be alive, my friend
In this masquerade where
All one day must die
Don't you wish you
Were unborn again
Just for a minute
Just for a minute more
[Solo]
Tic-Toc
The ticking at the tear asunder
The beating from a heart of stone
The loss of your divine prosperity
[Chorus:]
'Cause it costs to
Be alive, my friend
And this life that someone
Merely gave to you
That's the price you take
Minute by minute
The Haunting (Somewhere In Time) (Radio Edit)
Merely the sound of your voice
Made me believe that
that you were her
Just like the river disturbs
...my inner peace
Once I believed I could find
Just a trace of her beloved soul
Once I believed she was all
Then she smothered my beliefs
One cold winter's night
I may follow her voice to the river
Leave me for now and forever
Leave while you can
[Chorus:]
Somewhere in time
I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time
When no virtues are left to defend
You fall in deep
[Post-Chorus:]
I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves
It comes to an end
And quietly I'll go to sleep
How could that first time recur
When memories linger on and on
What made me think you were her
Helena is dead to all
dead to all
Nothing can bring her to life
Don't pretend that I'll be loving you
Once I believed she was gone
I'm corrupted from within
Leave me for now and forever
Leave while you can
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus]
[Ariel:]
Follow me into the light
Leave me tonight
I've gone too far to begin all anew
With someone like you
[Marguerite:]
Like ice on a lake of tears
I'll take you through
Life fades in anew
With someone like you
[Chorus]
War, war, war, war, war, war, war...
On a silent shore
I spoke to God
The sun is down
Assemble the great pandemonium
One more down by the brook of Babylon
One more down in accordance with my fate
One long drift across the lake of Avalon
One more trip that I must create
And my eyes sweep a shore
that was always there
A blood red line
Through the sonisphere
I can't resolve where it's coming from
I sense it's the great pandemonium
One more, Just one more
Just one, Just one more day
One more day by the pits of hell
Just one more when even yesterday was too late
One more thought that i have to sow
One last trick that you can't debate
On a silent shore
I confronted fear
I spoke to God
But he wasn't there
The sun is down
And the war begun
Assemble the great pandemonium
Growls
Break down
Got to break down
Break down
And my eyes sweep a shore
That was always there
A blood red line
Through the sonisphere
I can't resolve where it's coming from
I sense it's the great pandemonium
On a silent shore
I confronted fear
I spoke to God
But he wasn't there
The sun is down
And the war begun
Assemble the great pandemonium
Just one, Just one, Just one more day
Just one, Just one, Just one more day
Just one, Just one more
My entrance purely pleasure
For your riches I ask you not
For I am the gleeman
Who loves to sing
And strike upon my golden harp
So I bow before you o mighty king
In the hopes you hear my song
These feet have traveled far and wide
In a life lived FOR THE song
I claim no land my home
For I know not where I'm from
Traveled mountain peaks
And valleys low
In a life for the son of a bard
Raise your harp my friend
For the song that burns
In your heart
Sing of the heroes
And the days that time forgot
Sing of the days of the Earls and
The Kings and the Knights
That conquered great feats
For these are the things
That we all dream
But only your eyes have seen
A life for a lyric
I've traveled these war lands deep
Raging the knights in shining armor
Surely death awaits the weak
I've sailed the viking vessels
Plunging the northern seas
Crossing the blue horizon
No land for the eye to see
For the eye to see
Raise your harp my friend
For the song that burns
In your heart
Sing of the heroes
And the days that time forgot
Sing of the days of the Earls
And the Kings and the Knights
That conquered great feats
For these are the things
That we all dream

AS CRUSADERS RAVAGE THE EARTH
AT NIGHT THEIR SWORDS AND SHIELDS HANG TO THEIR SIDE
FOR THE BATTLE THEY HAD FORSAKEN
FOR THE GLORY THEY HAD FORTAKEN
THE KING RIDES AHEAD OF THE GROUP
HOMEWARD BOUND HE MARCHES HIS TROOPS
FOR FAIR LAND FRANCE LIES IN THE BALANCE
FOR FOE MAN FRANCE HOME OF THE GALLANT
SONG OF ROLAND
NEVER KNIGHT BE SO WORTHY
SONG OF ROLAND
NEVER KNIGHT BE SO WORTHY
THE KING HOLDS GRIEF IN HIS EYES
FOR HIS NEPHEW HE'S LEFT BEHIND
TO ENSURE THE BACKGROUND IS STABLE
TO ENSURE THEM AGAINST ATTACK
THE KING KNEELS TO HIS NEPHEW,
BRAVE KNIGHT PRINCE ROLAND
HE HOLDS TEARS IN HIS EYES
AND PAIN IN HIS HEART
'FOR OUR GOD'S WE TEAR OUR WORLD'S APART
AND WITH THIS DEATH I LEAVE YOU
ONE LAST THOUGHT
NEVER KNIGHT BE SO WORTHY
TILL FRANCE BE NO MORE'
AS LANCES DRAW UPON THE ENEMY
A SEA OF WAVING BANNERS SURROUND,
THE MOORS FALL FROM THE HILLSIDE
LIKE THE RAIN IN THE DARK FOREST
AS THE BATTLE ROLLS ON
THE MEN FALL TO GROUND
THEIR EARS ACHE FOR THE SHRILL OF THE HORN,
BUT ROLAND PERSISTS ON HOLDING HIS GROUND,
'LET US STRIKE A MIGHTY BLOW
FOR OUR LORD AND OUR GOD!'
SONG OF ROLAND
NEVER KNIGHT BE SO WORTHY
SONG OF ROLAND
The Black Halo
Come wind come snow come winter land
I have resigned myself to death
Come will to show the heathen hand
So I can draw my final breath
You could take me higher
So you said I trusted you
I may be a liar
But betrayal lies on you
I could feel where the journey ends
Final cough of a last defense
Darkness come tonight
I have no fear of what you hold
Darkness come alive
You are the stories I've been told
I possess a power
Of survival in the cold
Life is like a flower
As it stumbles out of fold
We all know when the time has come
This is where I will linger on
Darkness come tonight
I have no fear of what you hold
Darkness come alive
You are the stories I've been told
Darkness come tonight
Nothing can take my faith away
Darkness come alive
Life turns to black from silver gray
Darkness come tonight
I have no fear of what you hold
Darkness come alive
You are the stories I've been told
Darkness come tonight
Nothing can take my faith away
Darkness come alive
I see you when it snows
in crystals dancing down
from a sultry sky
when silence is pure and unbreakable
I can see you smiling
in every frozen tear
I can hear you whisper "You and I?
little did we know
that they were life itself
the days passing by
we both had our share in the sacrifice
once upon a time
we had something beautiful
once upon a time
I thought "you and I?
take me wherever
the answer lingers in the sand
show me the way as the story unfolds
love is remote
in this wailing winter wonderland
show me the way to the temples of gold
bless me with a kiss
across the universe
when day and night converge
and whisper my name till I fall asleep
tell me tales from days bygone
tell me little lies
If my soul could revive from my carnal remains
What does it matter to me
If it all fades to black
If I'm born once again
Then no one really is free
How could I be condemned for the things that I've done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know
Some things under the sun can never be understood
How can we believe in heaven
Human reason counters all
Ideas of a soul society
My life is just a fragment of the universe and all
There must be more that I can see
In the dark we're the same
In the concept of time
We're like a grain in the sand
And we strive for the flame
As if death was our aim
Cause we cannot understand
How I wish there was a heaven
All for one and one for all
A flawless soul society
Our lives are just a fragment of the universe and all
Serenade
Songs of pain and soothing lullabies
Songs of happiness and some that make us cry
One song we share
The cross we all bear
One that segregates
One that unifies
All we wonder
No one ever denies
If once given life we must die
So bow down with me
Where summer fades into fall
And leave your hatchets of hate
Bow down with me
And sing the saddest of all
The song we all serenade
The more we know
The less we understand
Life... eternity
The savagery of man
We want it all
Aimed at the fall
What is destiny with the masterplan
All we wonder
No one ever denies
If once given life we must die
So bow down with me
Where summer fades into fall
And leave your hatchets of hate
Bow down with me
And sing the saddest of all
The song we all serenade
Hold on now
Don't leave don't let it go
Dance away the waltz of life
Right or wrong
The seed we never sow
That's our loss
Our sacrifice
What does the winter bring
A minute more
Till the light of day is seen
Lay down
I know you must be nearly there
A bloody kiss
And the vision of a dream
For the last of your days in the sun
In the white light I am calm
Yet peculiarly cold
Silent slumber
And wide awake
Lord have mercy on my soul
So long
Your sorrow be gone
Show me how it feels to be alive
No more denial
So long
Let us find a place where we can hide
You fed me long
And by God you fed me well
Sleep tight
This day belongs to you my dear
And I am bound
Like a beast onto its prey
We are one of a kind you and I
Pale moon wander
I'm wide awake
Lord have mercy on my soul
So long
Your sorrow be gone
Show me how it feels to be alive
No more denial
So long
Show me all the splendors of the night
So long
The little last of your attention
Sorrow
This flood to wash your mind
See me
The God of your imagination
Feel me
Come with me tonight
So long
Your sorrow be gone
Show me how it feels to be alive
No more denial
music-Kamelot lyrics-Youngblood
In a time in a place
long ago today
i can see it there in the distance
in the air on line
on the corner of the mind
Rhydin is rising against the sun
Rhydin is rising
Join us a new world is open
Rhydin is rising
Don't you know its a new kingdom
Its new kingdom
In the sea its a birth
On the corner of this earth
Somewhere in the dark horizon
These are the days
Endless wars
In the fields and on our shores
Where the minute last a day
Rhydin is rising
Join us a new world is open
Rhydin is rising
Don't you know its a new kingdom
I feel the distant stare
Of a watching eye
Watching eyes of THE woodsman
Quivers of death await me here
I'm blind to their illusion - confusion
Fletching of fowl Slips
Through the wind
Releasing their death with
Their fingers
My fate lies on a tensel line
I must escape but there's
Nowhere to hide
The now exchanging roles
In this theater of ill HUMOR
The understudy steals
The stage with an encore performance
One of the hunted -
The tables have turned
One of the hunted -
There's nowhere to run
One of the hun ted -
The tables have turned
One of the hunted -
There's nowhere to run
In the temples of nature
I hear the laughter
Just another victim on
This lonely trail
They show no emotion for
This loss of life
It reminds me of myself not long ago
And the cries for life that
I'd seem to ignore
The cries for life are now
My very own
One of the hunted
The tables have turned
One of the hunted
There's nowhere to run
One of the hunted
The tables have turned
One of the hunted
I am scorn in this heavenly scheme
With a stench of destruction
I'm a reaper of beautiful dreams
And she knows
I'm on the edge
Sacrilege
Push me over
Tell me once upon a time
I close my eyes
And see myself reborn
Righting the wrong
I won't stay to stand in line
Or wait for God to shine all over me
I wait for the storm
I am you
And know that you heard
You and I are the last
At the end of the world
Then we talk
And we run
And we hide
Then so what
The human race
Suffocates
Leave me breathless
Tell me once upon a time
I close my eyes
And see myself reborn
Righting the wrong
I won't stay to stand in line
Or wait for God to shine all over me
I wait for the storm
Move along
Through the ashes of a dream
Move along
And see myself anew again
Tell me once upon a time
I close my eyes
And see myself reborn
Righting the wrong
I won't stay to stand in line
Or wait for God to shine all over me
On The Coldest Winter Night
I am breathless,
Need I say
How could you find me here?
You, of all, have crossed my way
Unexpectedly...from where?
I feel like I am dreaming
Hold me close,
Tomorrow may be gone
This is a moment of belief
This is a moment made of dreams
You found me here today
On the coldest winter night
This moment is our right
Now, Helena tell me all
The years we've been apart...
Did you hear the mountain fall?
...my broken heart
Don't wake me if I'm dreaming
Hush, my dear
Because tomorrow may be gone
Lost in the present, I am sure
This is the moment, say no more
You found me here today
On the coldest winter night
This moment is our right
This is a moment of belief
This is a moment made of dreams
You found me here today
On the coldest winter night
Nothing Ever Dies
Here we are
Under the same old sun
All alone yet somehow bound and unified
Dust to dust...
Ashes to ashes won't take long
We search for a harbour
Somewhere to belong
They say that faith is all you need
To stay forever young
What you've sown is what you reap
Our sins can't be undone
There is a god in each society
So right is wrong where wrong is right
No one could be sure
Still we are certain
That what we know is truth
The only truth
We're building our temples taller
They say that faith is all you need
To stay forever young
What you've sown is what you reap
Our sins can't be undone
How can we trust them once again
They used to tell us lies
Their voices will sustain
Cause nothing ever dies
Love is the only truth
Pure as the well of youth
Until it breaks your heart
You took me higher
Than the mountains I have climbed
You waited all your life for me
You left me all alone behind
But we'll meet again
Ne Pleure Pas
[French Bonus]
[dédié à la mémoire de Thomas Youngblood sén.]
si lentement
arrivé à ce point
sans personne
j'ai tracé mon chemin
toi sorti de ma vie
le temps passe si vite
tu n'sais pas mes prières chaque jour
chanson aux mémoires
chanson à l'oubli
sans adieu tu partais
tous mes efforts
pour te rendre si fier
jamais tu ne les voyais
toi parti d'ici
oh, les ombres du passé
ton souvenir me consolait
ne pleure pas
ni souffre pour moi
un jour on se trouvera
ne pleure pas
les anges nous protégeront
je te garde dans mon coeur
à jamais
homme maintenant
je te sens près de moi
étais-tu avec moi malgré tout
le temps de se rendre
le temps du pardon
consolé je te donne ma chanson
toi parti d'ici
oh, les ombres du passé
dans mes rêves enfin il y a ta voix
ne pleure pas
ni souffre pour moi
un jour on se trouvera
ne pleure pas
les anges nous protégeront
je te garde dans mon coeur
je te revois ce soir
dans la pâleur d'hiver
père et fils ensemble
les liens du sang
Mourning Star
On the fields you restore your beliefs,
Like an old man in church on a Sunday.
crawl the dirt on your elbows and knees,
Any minute you know you could die.
So come save us, turn water to wine,
Give me words of unfathomable wisdom
As I'm crossing the enemy's line,
Where the wounded and dead show the way.
(Show me the way)
Tell me when the night is gone,
Like washed away,
Make a wish beneath the mourning star.
How can there be a reason for war?
For the life of a human that suffers
I remember, I heard it before,
Tell me all when the new day begins.
(The new day begins)
Tell me when the night is gone,
Like washed away,
Make a wish beneath the mourning star.
When the victory is won,
The old cliché,
Underneath the same old mourning star.
[rest in peace all that be good]
why please tell me why
[rest in piece thy fatherhood]
You gave the world all this pain
Tell me when the man is gone,
Like washed away,
Make a wish beneath the mourning star.
When the victory is won,
The old cliché,
Live
I look into the black horizon
the more i see the more i know
I try to justify the wars won
but that won't satisfy my soul
I hold the future in my hand
but I could easily destroy
I see the footprints in the sand
they seem to vanish in the void
can I walk away
can I choose to stay
feel I'm getting near
voices that I hear
sail away, follow the sacred heart
chase the sun, one with the moon and stars
sail away, You'll find the promised land
in your hand, there is a New Millennium
I wish wouldn't have to worry
about the life that lies ahead
but when the present turns tomorrow
I shall remember what they said
feel I'm getting near
voices that I hear
sail away, follow the sacred heart
chase the sun, one with the moon and stars
sail away, you'll find the promised land
Memento Mori
Who wants to separate
The world we know from our beliefs
And who sees only black and white
Distinguish loss from sacrifice
Some day we may come to peace
With the world within ourselves
And I will await you
Until I close my eyes
When your time has come
You know you'll be lonely once again
And the final winter comes to us all
Life is treacherous
But you're not the only who must pretend
We're a second in time
We're the last in the line
Of the prey that walks the earth
Good and evil combined
I am the god in my own history
The master of the game
I may believe if she would come to me
And whisper out my name
Sometimes I wonder where the wind has gone
If life has ever been
Sometimes I wonder how belief alone
Can cut me free from sin
When you close your eyes
Mementos of summer retrieves your mind
Like a drizzle afternoon cleans the air
When the winter blows
You're glad you remember you really tried
And it comes to an end
Even winter... life fall
And we all have our beliefs
Pray for mercy for all
I am a man without a mystery
The deal is done within
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze
And pay for every sin
[Helena]
VICTORIA, NON PRAEDA
MEMENTO MORI
[Mephisto]
UNA VOCE... VOLO, NON VALEO
DULCE ET DECORUM EST
PRO PATRIA MORI
MEMENTO MORI
[Ariel]
So subservant in your embrace
No more denial
No run away
This is the final
My last recall
And that's the price for what we learn
The more we know the more we yearn
Cause we're so alone
I am a man without a mystery
The deal is done within
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze
The journey can begin
I'm still the god in my own history
I still believe that she will come to me
And whisper out my name
Some day we will come to peace
And reach beyond behind the lies
And I will await you
Aspirat primo Fortuna labori
Me duce tutus eris
Vox populi vox Dei
Ad majorem Dei gloriam...
Ad infinitum
(Translation:
Fortune Smiles Upon Your Effort.
Under my leadership you will be safe.
The voice of the people is the voice of God.
For the greater glory of God.
For Infinity.)
You know just who I am
Don't be so distant
'cause When you're lost
I am solely there to share your grief
Wailing your sorrow
is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow you're lonely
I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth
Now tell me all about your pain
Down to the detail
Don't say it's love
Your fragile heart feeds my contempt
Wailing your sorrow
is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow you're lonely
I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth
Chase the heathen call
We belong...you and I
Unison in all you deny
Wailing your sorrow
is only my way to comfort you
Reminders of innocent youth
Waiting for morrow you're lonely
I name your solitude
I speaketh the truth
I am the thorn in your side
That seeks accomplishment
Reminding the mortal of death
I am the spore of your pride
An angel heavensent
The master of all
Like The Shadows
[Japan Bonus Track]
Like the shadows cover me
Rising from my ecstasy...
In a glimpse from a quiet childhood
I recall a mother's smile
Nothing needs to be understood,
I am free
In the deep of a distant forest
I'll lose my sense of time
Where the words of the wind is honest,
I can breathe
Someone told me there's a higher mountain
But I'll wait here for a while
Only led by the deepest hunger,
I'll flee from exile
[Chorus]
Like the shadows cover me
You're behind me once again
Rising from my ecstasy
Rising from my pain
Like the shadows follow me
You can wash my steps away
Not the one I want to be
But still somehow the same
music-Kamelot lyrics-Youngblood/Barry
Seize this regal day
Your time has come
Reach for the crown
Take all that you can
Its your time to become the King
Its time to take
All that life has to give to you
Look towards the heavens search you soul
It will tell you the truth that i'm told
Brave men will fight
Weak men will always die
Never to reach the the top of the mountainside
Look through these King's Eyes
What do you see?
Fortune and glory and triumphs to be
Look through these King's Eyes
What do they tell?
Your desire will never be killed
There's a certain feeling you get
At the moment you know you're the one
That sets the course of your own destiny
Controlled by you alone feel it rise
Inside your heart
The winning force at hand reach for the crown
Take all that you can
You can do anything
You can be king
Don't be controlled
Master your own destiny
Brave men will fight
Weak men will always die
Never to reach the the top of the mountainside
Look through these King's Eyes
What do you see?
Fortune and glory and triumphs to be
Look through these King's Eyes
What do they tell?
Your desire will never be killed
I am a king of honor
gold and glory
but every king must also die
have I been just and righteous
what is glory
I know I've torn and taken life
and here I stand
a small and simple man
who will trade his karma for my kingdom
a sacrificial rite to render truth
the fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
cause all you do in life comes back to you
I am a king in crisis
counting minutes
there is an ending to my reign
my sins have come to face me
I can feel it
that I have lived my life in vain
and now I know I'll reap
the seeds I've sown
who will trade his karma for my kingdom
a sacrificial rite to render truth
the fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
cause all you do in life comes back to you
am I mad
I feel so void and cold
who can tell
who holds the stories untold
tired and trembling
I am descending
will I have to stay here
Live
in the black of the night she appears
I can see that she's trying
to relocate the source of my fears
I've been searching her high and low
in this dream she will show me the door
to a new revelation
and I know that I've seen her before
that she'll bring me salvation
I remember when she was still alive
always there by my side
every day is a fight to survive
every minute a shattered memory
like the sun shining down on me
like the breeze on the ocean
you're the path of my destiny
I know you will follow me until Kingdom Come
when I watch from the tower at night
into fading horizons
I can see her shade in the twilight
dressed in silver she's dancing
I remember as if it was today
always there by my side
you are reason, and relief to my pain
and one day we will reunite
like the sun shining down on me
like the breeze on the ocean
you're the path of my destiny
I know you will follow me until Kingdom Come
like the sun shining down on me
like the breeze on the ocean
you're the path of my destiny

You must anticipate some burns
Chasing for desire...
It's just a different way to learn

I am defected from God

God had seized my soul

So low redemptions too far

Love is all around

Featuring: Simone Simons
Call me a liar, a king or a fool
But sing me a song of prosperity
Higher and higher, the farther we fall
Hard to remember
I will surrender and I'll always wait
Wait as in all of eternity
Hard to remember and hard to forget
This shadow that hangs over me
Take me home to a house on a hill, in oblivion
And take away this shadow over me
Cry me a river, but once you run dry
Say there's a reason you do
Godless endeavors, smothered and broken
All that I wanted was you
Take me home to a house on a hill, in oblivion
Where souls never die all alone
You're longing for love, not for sympathy
So take away the shadow over me
Under the starlight you shine your solitude
Eyes on the ocean and far beyond west of the moon
Take me home to a house on a hill, in oblivion
Where souls never die all alone
You're longing for love, not for sympathy
Over the hills
Home, to your house on a hill, to oblivion
Where souls never die all alone
You're longing for love, not for sympathy
Helena's Theme
[HELENA:]
I remember a song
From long ago
Some of the pieces
They remind me of you
How could I know
You were to leave me
I thought that I was that melody
Oh so wrong
I'm but a whisper tonight
And if this is goodbye
I will leave
But I'll love you
Until the end
[RIVER SPIRIT:]
If the grace of God is real
And the word of Christ can heal
Bring their souls to heaven's light

LOOK TOWARDS THE SEA TELL ME,
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
WILL YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS WHEN YOU HAVE FOUND IT?
YOU SEARCHED HIGH ABOVE AND YOU SEARCHED FAR BELOW
BUT IT STILL SEEMS SO FAR AND YOU KNOW IT
TIME - IT DWINDLES AWAY
THERE'S A CLOCK ON THE WALL
AND IT SEEMS TO BE CALLING YOUR NAME
YOU HIDE, BUT YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY
HE'LL BE RIGHT THERE BEHIND YOU
REMINDING YOU IT'S NOT A GAME
I WILL CONQUER THE BEAST AND I'LL SWIM THE SEVEN SEAS
AND MY HEART WILL STILL BEAT AND I'LL NEVER GIVE UP
I WILL WALK DESERT PLAINS AND ENDURE GRUELLING PAIN
AND MY HEART WILL STILL BEAT AND I NEVER GIVE UP
HEAVEN IS A HEARTBEAT AWAY FOR YOUR DREAMS OF
TOMORROW COULD VERY WELL END TODAY
HEAVEN IS A HEARTBEAT AWAY FOR YOUR DREAMS OF
Ghost Opera
Walls so white
Where your sorrows have a name
And day is dark as night
There's no remorse and no redemption
Close the door
Can you hear the crowd is waiting?
For a last encore
Screaming out for my attention
Chanting my name
[Chorus:]
Welcome all to curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra
Like a crescendo of gratitude
This is my song
Like the dead
I am on the other side
They're howling in my head
There's no remorse and no redemption
Hush my dear
Let the music fill the night
And soon it's all we hear
Screaming out for my attention
Chanting my name
Chanting my name
[Chorus:]
Welcome all to curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra
Like a crescendo of gratitude
Don't wake me
Until it's over
I, I may be dreaming
And awake
[Solo]
Chanting my name
Chanting my name
[Chorus:]
Welcome all to curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra
Welcome all to curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Take a look into the crystal
Take a look at what the
Future may bring
All around you is darkness
As your shattered soul screams
As I stand before the crystal
See my life pass before me
Stand up straight look into my
Eyes tell me what do you see?
Is there no gold at the end
Of this rainbow?
Is there no hope at the end
Of the road?
Will there be strength for
The dreams that I've lived for
Or will I just let go?
Many years have passed me by
Many trials of life i've survived
stills the head wind blows my way
It's getting harder everyday
Is there no gold at the end
Of this rainbow?
Is there no hope at the end
Of the road?
Will there be strength for
The dreams that I've lived for
Or will I just let go?
The fire within is smoldering
The waters of life are raging In
Once there was passion
Farewell
Winter's close...and the mountain high
I'll start my journey now
On this planet we call Earth we belong
I want to know
Why did god make me feel
There is more to be answered
Maybe god cannot remedy
Our souls is he tried
I seek piece of mind at least
And to know I did my best
I will pray for those I have loved
I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey
I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
Lead me an ocean away
No one holds the only truth in his hand
So who am I
To defy even god
In quest for a reason
There's no time to waste I'm afraid
I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey
I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
Lead me an ocean away
So far away
When the tide is high
breathe in deep
smell these halls of hate
carve your name into these walls
before it is too late
cold and twisted
they resisted
what was I to do
all I ever wanted was
a fraction of the truth
walking in the shadows
of my blackened mind
lost inside this shallow
vanity of time
what if there's a God a hell and heaven
fire is the torment I must face
dying by the souls I have forsaken
no one's going to catch my fall from grace
(bleed on me)
watch me from your cage
as I rejoin my painful prime
(suffer and exhale)
you and I are relics
we provoke and we recline
walking in the shadows
of my blackened mind
angels crave my sorrow
sorrow they will find
what if there's a God a hell and heaven
fire is the torment I must face
dying by the souls I have forsaken
no one's going to catch my fall from grace
walking in the shadows
of my blackened mind
angels crave my sorrow
Dim is the light of a war day
In the land of the undying sun
Hollow the silence around me
Distant the sound of a gun
Port side is close to the shore
I wonder where she is
Incoming shot cross the bow
Will she remember me
Wail my April moon
God forsaken soul
I remember you
Come with me tonight
Damned is the dawn of a new day
Revelations of death and despair
Frost misty waters around me
Frantic and naked the fear
Port side is close to the shore
Incoming shot cross the bow
Wail my April moon
God forsaken soul
I remember you
Come with me tonight
Say your prayers
Loud and clearly
Dedicated to the memory of Thomas Youngblood Sr.
little by little
I've come to this point
on my own I've been searching my way
I lost you so early
the days went so fast
you don't know I prayed every day
a song to remember
a song to forget
you'll never know how I tried
to make you proud
and to honor your name but
you never told me goodbye
now that your are gone
casting shadows from the past
you and all the memories will last
don't you cry
or suffer over me
I will be waiting for you
don't you cry
angels never fade away
I'll be watching over you
see you through
now I'm a man and
I'm feeling you still
could it be you were there all along
a time to surrender
a time to forgive
with solace I give you this song
now that you are gone
casting shadows from the past
in my dreams I hear your voice at last
don't you cry
or suffer over me
I will be waiting for you
don't you cry
angels never fade away
I'll be watching over you
I can see you tonight
in the pale winter light
father and son again
came across the waters
a kingdom in the sands
unfaithful to the sultan
a killing was at hand
challenged to survival
a legacy of fear
eternal mystic legends
one for every tear
nights of Arabia
the queen has lost her right to life
nights of Arabia
her destiny in story lines
nights of Arabia
a thousand tales and one for life
these are nights of Arabia
whispers in the moonlight
a gathering of vales
circled round the fire
to hear this evenings tale
standing on the threshold
the crest of darkened nights
seduction of the hunter
the slave regains her might
"lost inside a shadow
erase the sins I've made
heavenly reward me
with mercy on my fate"

Sheherazade will never die
the sultan relents his feeble heart
his love for the queen is greater than he'll ever know

someone to feel, someone to love"
"here I am to die alone
voices from heaven above
hear my call awaken my soul
forgive me for what I have done"
challenged to survival

Speak my friend, you look surprised
I thought you knew I'd come disguised
On angel wings...in white
I can make your dreams come true
What a couple...me and you
On journey through the night
I will show you everything so vividly
You can't deny me
Bathed in moonlight
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
(because your soul)
will be mine the day you die
Name a pleasure, one...a few
Any form of lust in you
Will tremble at my touch
I come down from heaven's light
I have all the perfect alibis
There's so much
I will show you everything so vividly
You won't deny me
Call my name or carry on
'Till that last resistance gone
I'm sure we'll meet again
I'm your true disciple
When the flesh desires

CROSSING TWO RIVERS
AND FIELDS IN THE DARK
HE IS IN LOVE ENSLAVED BY THE HEART
SHE WAITS BY THE WINDOW FOR
THE FIRST SIGHT OF HER LOVE
SHE HOPES AND PRAYS
THAT NOTHING WILL KEEP THEIR LOVE APART
TWO SEPARATE KINGDOMS
TWO SEPARATE LIVES THROWN APART
BY THE HATE AND LIES
SHE WAITS BY THE WINDOW
FOR THE LOVE THAT LEFT HER ARMS
SHE HOPES AND PRAYS
THAT ONE DAY THEIR HEARTS WILL BEAT AS ONE
EVEN THOUGH THEIR WORLD'S AT WAR
LOVE GROWS STRONGER THAN BEFORE
THE MOATS BETWEEN THEIR LOVE GROW SHALLOW
CROSSING TWO RIVERS
AND FIELDS IN THE DARK
HE IS IN LOVE ENSLAVED BY THE HEART
SHE WAITS BY THE WINDOW
FOR THE LOVE THAT LEFT HER ARMS
SHE HOPES AND PRAYS
THAT ONE DAY THEIR HEARTS WILL BEAT AS ONE
EVEN THOUGH THEIR WORLD'S AT WAR
LOVE GROWS STRONGER THAN BEFORE
Move slowly
Beyond the colors on my eyes
Move slowly
Into the corners of my mind
Rising like the Pegasus
Each and every one of us
Released
Islands in the sea of dreams
Always searching harmony
And peace
All we find
Reject our mind
Don't you wonder why
If the war by heaven's gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
'Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone
Show me sign of paradise
A place we all would like to go to
Tell me what to sacrifice
So there's a chance for me to want you
All I find
Reject my mind
And I wonder why
If the war by heaven's gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone
I have a tale to be told won't you listen tonight
Follow me into the core of the fountain of light
Try to imagine that hope is our ship for the soul
[Over the ocean the quest of your life lies ahead]
Maybe together we'll find there's a place for us all
[Follow the star in your mind, sail along, sail along]
If the war by heaven's gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone
Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone
Can You Remember
"Hey! Woo! Thank you! OK, we're gonna slow it down for a bit now.
This is a song about a girl that might have forgotten me by now.
But I hope we will meet again some time in the future."
A flame within my heart has died
This a song, it's song with no reprise
Today I just don't know why
What we had and what we shared, so divine
Sunrise in Osaka, but I'm cold tonight
The northern lights are shining, and my dreams take flight
Can you remember? Tell me how far I have to go
Can you remember lust in the eastern skies?
Can you remember when you told me sayonara?
Can you remember me? 'Cause I will never say goodbye
A flame within my heart has died
Too far away, it's too far for me to say
I wish I could turn back time
Is there anyone to blame? Show me the way
Sunrise in Osaka, but I'm cold tonight
The northern lights are shining, and my dreams take flight
Memories are forever, and I see your face
Crying in the distance, 'til we fall from grace
Can you remember? Tell me how far I have to go?
Can you remember lust in the eastern skies?
Can you remember when you told me sayonara?
Can you remember me? 'Cause I will never say goodbye
Can you remember? Tell me how far I have to go
Can you remember lust in the eastern skies?
Can you remember when you told me sayonara?
Can you remember me? 'Cause I will never say goodbye
O Black Tower what is your power?
What makes men run and hide
I've foreseen the evil in the
Dead of the night
As the demons they dance in my mind
Telling tales of horror
And the splendor of their torture
Burning flames reach for the sky
The gates of Hell are open wide
O Black Tower
Black Tower
O Black Tower
Why do you devour?
The souls they sleep in the night
Casting evil shadows signs of no tomorrows
Why must I fear for my life?
Telling tales of horror
And the splendor of their torture
Burning flames reach for the sky
The gates of Hell are open wide
Why must the demons dance in my mind?
O Black Tower
Black Tower
Now I know it's the truth
All the evil men do
They shall pay their dues
Nightmares tell the truth
O Black Tower
Black Tower

HE WAS A YOUNG BOY
ABOUT TO BE A MAN
SHE LOVED HIM SO
OH PLEASE DON'T GO
DOWN ON HIS KNEES
THE BLADE PASSED WITH EASE
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER
AS IT PIERCES HER HEART
OUT IN THE FIELDS
THE BOY BECOMES A MAN
TASTE OF BLOOD IN HIS THROAT
FEEL OF DEATH ON HIS HANDS
HE SHALL FALL ON THIS DARK, MISTY NIGHT
AS HE FALLS HE HEARS HIS LOVED ONE CRY
BIRTH OF A HERO
DEATH OF A MAN
SHE'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
WHY HE LEFT HER HAND
HE WAS A YOUNG BOY
SHE LOVED HIM SO
SHE WATCHED THE SUN SET
AND LONGED FOR HIS JOURNEY HOME
FLAGS FLY LOW
THE BLADE CUT DEEP
NOW SHE MUST BEAR THE WOUNDS
I've been witness to so many wars
that I'm blind to affliction
no ability left to remorse
it's my faith and conviction
wide awake
in this world
full of hate
I unfurl
but I am damned
if life itself is condemnation
I am immortal
thus my freedom is captivity
flying all across the highlands
searching for a way
to finalize my history
rising high above the mountains
reaching for the sky
closer to my sanctuary
all my life I've been trying to die
reach complete segregation
I am ready to open my eyes
to a new revelation
lost in time
there's no place
for my soul
in his embrace
for I am damned
if life itself is condemnation
I am immortal
thus my freedom is captivity
Everyone is here
The feast can soon begin
Vanity we celebrate
My favourite of sins
[ARIEL:]
Chandeliers
so grand
That heaven sees the shine
And my friend declares
Everything I look at could be mine
It's a miracle
Life till now has been a waste
You have proved to me
By your hand I'm truly graced
Unbelievable
Gold and glitter blinding me
So adorable
All these women from my fantasies
[MEPHISTO:]
Come with me my little ones
Let's revel for the free
Raise your glass and praise the fact
How easy life can be
[ARIEL EVERYBODY:]
In the splendour of the night
I've found company
Once again I feel that life's begun
All the wrongs seem to be right
Drowned in ecstasy
Every star is like a newborn sun
May the life I knew be gone
I accept the deed
But one point we have to modify
If I wish to linger on
In a state of still
Once my life was plain and clear
I recall
Once my ignorance was bliss
Nightfall came
Like a serpent's kiss
To my troubled mind
Why my God
Have you abandoned me
In my sobriety
Behind the old facade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me cross the river wide
Binding promises were made
On my soul
Grand illusions lead astray
Ice cold winds swept my heart away
Bring me back to you
[Helena]
I remember a song
Like in a dream
Where September was long
And winter unreal
Why my God above
Have you abandoned me
In my sobriety
Behind the old facade
I'm your bewildered child
can you hear the sirens resound?
from the coastline of Ireland tonight
it's the song of a promising heart
of the souls that the ocean unite
and she stands by the window alone
staring into the rain
she is trying to guide his way home
from the waters that keep them apart
so she lights up a candle for hope to be found
captive and blind by the darkness around
firm as a mountain, she never will mourn
timeless awaiting the break of dawn
can you hear the sailorman's hymn?
as it comes with the rise of the tide
it is sung where the rainbow begins
as a comfort for tears she has cried
she remains by the window alone
staring into the rain
she is trying to guide his way home
keeps on praying for god to protect him
she lights up a candle for hope to be found
captive and blind by the darkness around
each wave a promise, a new hope reborn
settle for the journey
sail across the seven seas
carried by the spirit of the brave
join the New Allegiance now
and pledge your sacred heart
a history that no one can forsake
flying like an eagle from oblivion
rising in the mirror of the sky
you will find the New Allegiance
like a beacon in the night
if you're searching for salvation
reach inside
there's a new world approaching
a fire to be seen
in following The Fourth Legacy
once you find the passage
to another promised land
don't forget the ones you left behind
flying like an eagle from oblivion
guided by the rising morning star
you will find the New Allegiance
like a beacon in the night
if you're searching for salvation
reach inside
there's a new world approaching
a fire to be seen
in following The Fourth Legacy
there's glory in the distance
for the one's that pay the price
ignorance creates a subtle mind
keep the fighting spirit
never close your eyes
don't forget the ones you left behind
flying like an eagle from oblivion
rising in the mirror of the sky
you will find the New Allegiance
like a beacon in the night
if you're searching for salvation
reach inside
there's a new world approaching

faith in my god
keeps me alive
but when does my faith turn to doubt
silently watching the rain
carving the earth on my grave
lord you know that I prayed
one for the glory
and one for the souls that I've slain
how will I know
how could I tell
where would I find some serenity
sowing the seed
unwounded I bleed
lord won't you show me the way
christ is the cross that I bear
god is the will of my war
faint are the voices I hear
whispers of glory...
christ is the cry of despair
cursing the day I was born
this is the faith that we share
left with the glory
far across the sea
a piece of history
in Egypt's land
I'll build a city
beautiful and strong
beyond belief
a new metropolis
to redefine my destiny
rise and shine Alexandria
under protection of my name
pure, divine, and imperial
a place to watch the stars
the center of the earth
I see it all... my worlds converging
and to guide a king's armada through the night
I raise the seventh wonder to delight Poseidon
rise and shine Alexandria
under protection of my name
pure, divine, and imperial
make me the city of a living angel
casting shades all over Babylon
hailing me, a holy son of god
as a monument of time
and the goals that I achieved
