Wizards is a 1977 American animated post-apocalyptic science fantasy film about the battle between two wizards, one representing the forces of magic and one representing the forces of industrial technology. It was written, produced, and directed by Ralph Bakshi. This is 20th Century Fox's first animated film.
Wizards is notable for being the first fantasy film made by Bakshi, who was previously known only for urban films such as Fritz the Cat, Heavy Traffic, and Coonskin. It grossed $9 million theatrically from a $1.2 million budget, and has since become a cult classic. The film was rated PG by the MPAA.
Earth has been devastated by a nuclear war instigated by five terrorists, and it has taken two million years for the radioactive clouds to once again allow sunlight to reach the surface. Only a handful of humans have survived, while the rest have changed into mutants who roam the radioactive wastelands. In the idyllic land of Montagar, the true ancestors of man – fairies, elves and dwarves – have returned and live in peace. During a celebration of 3,000 years of peace, Delia, queen of the fairies, falls into a trance and leaves the party. Puzzled, the fairies follow her to her home and discover that she has given birth to twin wizards. Avatar, a kind and good wizard, spends much of his boyhood entertaining his mother with beautiful visions, while Blackwolf, a mutant, never visits his mother, but spends his time torturing small animals.

Let's go back to square one again,
it seems like we've all lost touch
with what we all once loved so much...
we've lost so much
what happened to those sleepless nights
just waiting for the show?
has our excitement grown dull?
I'm here remembering again... all that was said
your flag was flown, now drawn aside
and i cannot find any reason why
just empty words thrown around so careless
I'm here questioning their worth...
I'm questioning their worth
Let's go back to square one again,
it seems like we've all lost touch
with what we all once loved so much...
we've lost so much
and all the love once shared,
belittled and betrayed, is lost
but not forgotten... it's coming back in me
so here's to our sleepless nights and singalongs,
to the new kids and the old ones...
this is our night and our show!
the love once shared, belittled and betrayed...
Hey doc gimme my medicine

Twice a day, after any meal
And call me in the morning

But I also think I remember you
So take this prescription and let me see, call me in the morning
Look what you I've done to me

You're afraid; I can fell in your eyes
You don't need to hide, I know you

You're afraid, I can see in your eyes
You don't need to hide, I know you

I can't understand why
Why you believe in everyone who plays the game
The game of life that I told you
You only have to play this game
They'll become your slaves... my king
They'll become your slaves... my lord
They'll become your slaves... you know

One way for you

Please can't you see?
This is your last chance
Show me your pride
You are longing for me
And I knew that will be long together
As the world turns around
And the distance made itself much closer
Felling you closer everyday
I'm longing for you
And the world is turning, love is burning
Time is running on .on and on on and on .
Keep on loving me
Keep on dreaming high
And eternally
It' will be you and me
Won't the memories fade a way?
When the breeze remain a silent prayer
I remember the love we had
And I dream of you coming home
Keep on dreaming high
Keep on loving me
Till the end of times
It will be you and me
Till the end of times
Well that is it
Welcome to land
And now what are your plans
I am going to the ville
That's good for you
It's a great land
But now what are your plans
I'm going to the ville
The stop is right over there
It is the best, a magic place
I've got to catch another flight to ville
Good morning may I help you
Yes I'm going to the ville
I've got to catch another flight to ville
Oh when did it start?
Night before last
Have you been taking anything?
Oh no I can't say (it), i'm not sure
I don't remember, I have no memories
Oh welcome to earth
Who are you?
What are your plans goohoo
I want to go to ville
That's good for you
It's ok
But now what are your plans?
I'm going to the ville
I'm going to the ville
Without memory
Without memory
Hate and love blind me all the time
All my life I felt dirt in my eyes
I don't find the magic balance
I don't know what is shadow what is light
I wanna die by the cross
I want to kill by the devil
I always live in complete madness
I'm the weak, I'm the great
Please set me free god
Hey set me free God
Have you no mercy?
Can't you see me dying?
My Lord
What do you want from me?
Oh, tell me please
You have no mercy
Can't you see me crying Lord?
Can't you se me suffering Lord?
Can't you see me dying my Lord?
What do you need to prove?
Pushing me down and kicking my face
Do I deserve this war in my head?
Are you playing Your stupid game?
Can't you hear me praying for you?
Always early but feeling so late
Can't you hear me my Lord?
I'm living in memories
The way that it used to be
We tried but our try was in vain
Our love I can still recall
For overall I've cried
But the silence remained
Now the night is cold without you by my side
'Cause from memories I know I cannot hide
They're inside
Calling me, haunting me
I can't live with your voice in my mind
Calling me, chaining me
To my knees I face my future denied
Still living in memories
Old pictures of you and me
Stilled sighs of the days you were mine
I'm leafing through books that I keep
Deep inside my heart
Stories of you and I
Now the night is cold without you by my side
'Cause from memories I know I cannot hide
They're inside...
Deep in my heart I need you
Need you by my side
Though many miles are between us
And though no love can redeem us
I keep on hoping for a miracle
And that's you...
Words got lost in time
So did the days of my life
Cruel fate of mine
To heal the wounds in my mind
'Cause when the hope is gone, I'm alone
Behold my dusty throne
I'm to whom they'd bowed
Before the cry hit the world
All I had was sold
Became the blood out of gold
And in a cold recall, throw me a ball
Dance in my wrecked hall
My part is over now
My heart is broken down
Crown gone to waste
Feelings so bitter to taste
Farewell beloved land
They've come and tied my hands
Trespassed my reign
Laughing at the sound of my name
Pages meant to be read
Were torn apart, look at me now
A king without a crown
Starving my people die
Shadows demanding light
How come it got this far?
No more is for me to be done
Deprived of all my might
Denied the slightest pride
Onto nowhere I roam
Can you hear the call?
Can you hear Him calling us all?
Tons of elder souls,
Sons of an old distant world
Ancient fallen angels whirlwind
We're the ones denied in paradise
Hey ! Fallen angels fall
Hear us shouting out loud
Now, Fallen angels fall
Surrender to the call
Call of fate, Taking our wishes away
Call of fate, Telling us this is the day
Call of fate, Leaves us to pieces to decay
Everlasting debt to pay !
If we could fool him, If we could fight
If only shadows could bring the light
We would alight the steps yet unknown
Back to the light...
When the night has come, the light has gone, we're all as one
Fallen angels
In agony, we're gonna be, eternally
Fallen angels
For when the night has come
And when the light has gone
We're gonna be as one
Fallen angels
Living in agony
We'll always gonna be
Now and eternally,
Fallen angels fall, fall, final helping call !
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling overboard into the seas of doubt, into the seas of doubt !
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling overboard into the seas of doubt, into the seas of doubt !
Hadn't heard the call, wouldn't have had to fall
Now we've lost it all
Nothing's left and time has passed us by
Haven't got a door to the room before
Heaven yet adored
Stillness, healing bless
The silence leading my life
I lay down, still and calm
And I just keep on faking dreams
Am I fooling myself ?
For the silence and still fill my heart
Living ain't fun like rest and dream
And forevermore in the silence of daydreaming
Sigh, take a last breath and free your mind
Sigh, take a last breath and free your mind
Tranquil and thankful
I'm slowly giving in
Now I am freed of the old days
For the silence and still fill my heart
Living ain't fun like rest and dream
And forevermore in the silence of daydreaming
Sigh, take a last breath and free your mind
Sigh, take a last breath and free your mind
Noise pollution
Mass illusion
Mind corruption
All around
Politicians
Sacred missions, stop!
How can we live with it all around?
Step back!
Give it all a thought
All lies won't deceive us
All cries can't convince us
We'll fight and a new world
Will arise
Prejudice
Compassion pleas
And lack of justice
All around
False religion
Blind ambition, stop!
How can we live with it all around?
Step back!
Give it all a thought
For so many years
All we had were fears
As a guiding line
Now the time has come
bonus track
My thoughts are all in line deep in my blank mind
They never show, I can't find the words
To heal this silent world
But if I had them brought back to me one last time
Then I would find all the words I can't find
And I would write the song laying asleep inside
Deep there in my blank mind...
Trapped in a world where I have no voice, yeah
Not a word, not a single story
Far away I hear people sobbing
Oh, look at me!
I was caught on the enemy fields
And I can't find a way to go back
There had been a sign I would have seen
There had been a dream I would have dreamed
All alone where I have no rights, yeah
Hope is gone, the end of the glory
Prisoner inside my own mourning
Oh, look at me!
I was caught on the enemy fields
And I can't find a way to go back
There had been a sign I would have seen
There had been a dream I would have dreamed
I hear a voice from far away
But against my will I had to stay
Every night and day wishing I were back...
I hear a voice from far away
But against my will I had to stay
Wishing that I were back...
But I will come out so strong
That the ghosts of the failure will vanish at once
And then the words of my song
What you wanna do
Where you wanna go
Who you wanna meet
You are the one to know
Don't let anyone
Tell you what to do
Tell you where to go
Tell you who to meet
Doin' what you want
Goin' where you want
Meeting who you want
You are the one to know
Don't let anyone
Say what you should do
Say where to go
And say who to meet
You should live
Doing whatever you please
Life is all you've got
Make it the best, start living now
Wait no more
There is no point in feeling bored
Let dreams lead your way
Live for today, living for now
And there will be no sorrow
Leave it for tomorrow
And all will be real in no time
And all your dreams will be real
No more made up fears will harm us
No more made up sins can stop us
Another soldier
Another hopeless wasted life
Now you are told what to do
A mental boiler
Melting the weak and troubled minds
In need of hearing the call
The call of war
You're in need of hearing the calling of war
The call of war
You're in need of hearing the calling of war
Now you are blinded
And you can't tell what's right or wrong
You got a lot to regret
You speak through others
They speak through you, that's all you've got
You hear the call in your mind
The call of war
You're in need of hearing the calling of war
The call of war
You're in need of hearing the calling of war
And at night when all the lights are out
You may think of all that could have been
If you only had another chance
Would you have made it just the same? Just the same?
The call of war
You're in need of hearing the calling of war
The call of war
Dark and shiny though far and close
Hiding in the thoughts yet it shows
Travelling in the speed of light
Where all sadness become delight
Death and mercy show tears and laugh
All in one to end at last
Ride, riding the might
Distant echoes hardly ever heard
Sounding so crystal clear to me
In this timeless charade I live
And this fearless belief I breathe
Heal and hurt while come and go
Oh, embrace and disgrace the world
Ride, riding the might
Riding the twilight
Riding the twilight
Riding the twilight
Riding the twilight till the morning light.
Fire and lighting from above are shown
And the one last drop of consciousness left
Has me do what I hadn't ever dreamt of
Riding, riding, riding
For the blend of light and dark I long
And they strike on me and in one we merge
For as long as my soul is a twilight my wounds are blessed
Riding, riding, riding
Look at me now
I'm floating around
Right from an ancient time
Crawling through ages I might bring the light
Hiding in wrecked shrines
So that by pieces combined I could rise
The time has come, stare and behold
My shining coach of gold
Sinners and saints exchanging holy domains
Dark and light blending into me
Sentenced by thy pleas I have come
Say thy prayers
Those who can, join in my cast
'Cause forever the play is bound to last
Live the part you're to play, rise and decay
For the story I tell brings the light, believe me
Through a hundred thousand years I have come
And the pieces all combined merge into one
Sinners and saints, dark and light
And the play I've come to show is bound to last
For the day has come for me to bless the cast
Sinners and saints, dark and light
Fools shall be wise, sinners and saints arise
To redeem in delight
Dark and light blend into me
I will now ease you of pain
Epic golden deeds
The blood of warriors now is feeding the dry seeds
A hundred thousand bodies
Rest and rot in peace
Too many battles had been lost but not this one
The army is about to be crowned, to be remembered
Distant foreign land
From where the soldiers came to step onto our sand
The golden coins were bright and
Fed their starving eyes
Now the clay fortress is about to kneel and die
The foretold kingdom has arrived though many souls died...
Dividing, uniting
Conquering, taming and ruling
Gathered in a feast
The raging anger was well hidden in the mist
For many centuries we'd
Known the secret rhymes
To sing together when the moment showed the signs
We fought the battle brave and wise
Defeating evil lies....
Dividing, uniting
Conquering, taming and ruling
Dividing, gotta fight, got the right, got the might
Uniting, conquer the clay fortress by the night
Taming and ruling, yeah!
The secret rhymes, the showing signs, so brave and wise
Threatening lies forever doomed
Tales of epic golden deeds, yeah
The threatening lies are doomed,
Now that the kingdom's arrived
