With crystal eyes she gazes
Like a desert flower
In the morning rain
She's well aware of every promise made
She's a child of light in a world of pain
Oh let her be free, Holy Zion
Give us eyes to see
Something to rely on
Crystal eyes, I still love you
You're my one desire
Crystal eyes, I can't live without your touch
You are my crystal eyes
Crystal eyes, she don't say much
But she sees right through
Your thin disguise
You'll never know she comes and goes
Slips through the veil of the dead of night
Oh let her be free, Holy Zion
Give us eyes to see
Something to rely on
Crystal eyes, I still love you
You're my one desire
Crystal eyes, I can't live without your touch
You are my crystal eyes
Crystal eyes, she's an angel
That fell to earth like a gift from God
Sweet, serene, skin like cream
My love protects your every thought
Oh let her be free, Holy Zion
Give us eyes to see
Something to rely on
Crystal eyes, I still love you
You're my one desire
Crystal eyes, I can't live without your touch
They came from far away,
from a land in a frozen time
Through ice and snow they walked
with their broken homes in mind,
they cried!
Without a warning
they ended all lifes in their way
In search for a land
where they could forever stay
Chorus:
Blood on the snow and cries in the wind
Victims of hate, they fell to the ground
One by one, they tasted vengeance
No one could fight the soldiers in a frozen time
With tears in their eyes
the ground was painted in red
They searched for revenge,
by the frozen hate they were led
Chorus:
Bridge:
A battle in tears for the homes they had lost in the cold
They murdered all those who dared to come in their way

with frozen hate inside
And all poor victims

Sandman comes with sleeping dust
And I enter the world of dreams
A chilling place of eternal dusk
Where things are not what they seem
Pre Chorus:
Into deeper sleep , I'm descending
Slowly falling , reality's bending
On gloomy shores under purple sky
Watching shadows that are passing by
Twisted forms beyond comprehension
Is this real , this strange dimension

Into deeper sleep , I'm descending
Falling faster , it's never ending

Nightly screams

I think I'm standing in a garden at night
The distant stars provide the only light
Strange flowers grow all around me,
theyr heavy fragance intoxicates me
[Pre-Chorus]
Reality is slowly growing dimmer
and I begin to see a new world shimmer
It's like seeing through a silver haze
into a weird but beautiful place
Filled with dreams I begin to wonder
through this maze of alien wonders
Into glades with ponds of starlight,
ethereal beauty beyond human might
[Pre-Chorus]
And I see statues moving moving as in trance
with slow gestures, in a grotesque dance
to the mystical and haunting tunes
that fills this place like narcotic fumes
[Chorus]
I might be dead: or maybe I am dreaming?
it doesn't matter, it has no meaning
in this world of black and silver
[Solo: Dhal]
[Bridge:]
Then this dream-state takes an evil twist
And all the sudden rises a reeking mist
The air turns foul by the sickening haze
Corruption spreads throughout the maze
Malignant shadows with lurid eyes,
roars with laughter as the beauty dies
Insane whispers and bestial groans,
mingle with my tormented moans

from the hands of a fallen tainted Chaos knight,
a dark presence has grown inside of me
and merged with my soul. I'm no longer me

Dreams of bloodshed haunt my nights,
I fear what's in me
Dreams of violence in endless fights,

The darkness inside is now fully unleashed
My humanity is gone. I've changed into a beast

and travel north to the Wastes if I can

Dreams of bloodshed fill my nights,
so sweet dreams indeed
Dreams of violence in endless fights
will soon change to deeds

Beyond all hope, I'm cursed and damned
From all mankind I'm forever banned

I embrace the dark and submit to my hate

The maker of love and hate, tragedy and fate

All wars were mine, created for joy
I'm guilty of every crime
When you cry in tears I smile in delight
I am the answer to what you fear
And all that you see
My pleasure is your destiny
When you stand in the rain,
Abandoned and naked, I can not deny
My desire to plague
Well, my rules are mean, but fair and valid everywhere
I'm the wolf, you're the lamb
In my world you are forever damned
All wars were mine, created for joy

When you cry in tears I smile in delight
I am the answer to what you fear
And all that you see
My pleasure is your destiny
Once you're born you'll find yourself
Placed behind the scenes of the theatre of pain
Dazed and hollow you will dwell
Until it is your turn to take part in the play of God
All wars were mine, created for joy
I'm guilty of every crime
When you cry in tears I smile in delight
I am the answer to what you fear
And all that you see

Armies crossed the border. We know how it end
Listen to their orders. They have no demand
Missiles fills the sky, the ground is turning red
Children and women cry, they die in their beds
See them stand in line, proud young men
Soon they will feed their minds. Who cares for them?
Greed is taking over. Hate and self destruction
Tyrants rule the world. Power corruption

Well, it will soon be cleansed.
Burn the houses and gather the people where I can pass my judgement upon them.

there's something rotten about this town
Behind these walls, unholy rapture
But I'll cleanse it, I'll burn it down

Righteous men they try to capture
Well, they shall burn - witching whores

A way that has been locked and cloaked until now
It's time to take care of my programmed past,

For vengeance I'm yearning now as I'm returning

They sent me away so their empire could grow

[Intro:]
Once there was a mighty king
whose tragedy bards still sing
He ruled his realm right and fair,
doing evil no one ever dared
Then one day a stranger came
"Randal," He said, "is my name
the art of magics is my trade
and I'll entertain if I get paid"
And the king gladly took him in,
never seeing the wizard's grin
From that day the blissful years
forever changed into times of fear
[Pre-Chorus]
Day by day, the wizard was slowly taking control
Day by day, the king was slowly losing his soul
[Chorus]
And no one could see
the shadow, which fell
upon the old king
A sinister spell!
The cause of his pain
no one could tell
The wizard just laughed,
his plan worked so well!
As the wizard rose in might,
he turned the king from the light
The king became grim and cold
and did whatever Randal told
The king began a terror reign,
taught his people feel pain
They never knew that he was prone
to the power behind the throne
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
The malice gleamed in the wizard's eyes
when he was feeding the king with lies
[Solo: Dahl - Nyberg]
Music: Mikael Dahl - Lyrics: Andreas Götesson
There he stood before the black iron throne,
watching the dreadful creature of bone
On its fingers gleamed silver and gold
Fear battled greed, would his luck hold?
Long he stared at the fearsome dead king,
then he reached up for a golden ring
With flaring eye-sockets the king grabbed his hand
and spoke with a voice that was dry as sand:
"At last I'm awake, I'm finally free
The curse has been broken, shattered by thee
So, foolish mortal, thou dare to steal from me
For that thou shalt die, but undead thou'll be
my servant for eternity"
Music: Mikael Dahl - Lyrics: Andreas Götesson
Striding slowly on this ancient path
Along the river of promises
Trees that taunt me , I hear them laugh
Spuring me on with their mocking leaves
Silver moonlight , touching the stream
Makes it shimmer like molten steel
Is this reality or just a dream
Confusion and strangeness are what I feel

Beyond the threshold of no return
Regrets and memories fade away
As I travel onâ¦

Pre Chorus
I see a face in the mirror
with weary eyes and far from a smile
Who is he? Where is he going?
Is he a man or is he a child?
What's the point trying to be a star
when you can't figure out who you are?
It's a shame fighting for a dream
that you can't live in reality
The road to nowhere will never end
The mask you wear is your only friend
You may survive on the desert plains
but always find that the quest remains
Are you a saint or a sinner?
Do you belong in Heaven or Hell?
Are you a loser or a winner?
I guess only time will tell
There's no use counting tears in the rain
or denying the sorrow and pain
It's too late when you realise
Anywhere where the word is told
speculations steal the show
It's a never ending ignorance
Any rumour they believe
Any secret they reveal
They are blinded by their arrogance
Vultures of lies stain my dignity
with their eternal insanity
I stand before the narrow mind
A victim of opinions
All has the right to judge my life
Here in the fools' dominion
An invention in the wind
or a guess of what could be
is enough to draw an inference
What is wrong and what is right,
what is black and what is white
Welcome to earth,
A circus where the clowns are in control
Welcome to life,
A state of hysteria programmed in your soul
Don't talk, don't think,
Don't feel, stay out of the way
Just be glad and grateful
For your soon ending days
We are all the chosen ones
Dressed up for God's masquerade
Without a stage and audience
We dance the fool's ballet
There's justice for all
Behind the beautiful but false facade
Here women and men,
Young and old are playing the great mortal's charade
Don't talk, don't think,
Don't feel, stay out of the way
Just be glad and grateful
For your soon ending days
We are all the chosen ones
Dressed up for God's masquerade
Without a stage and audience
We dance the fool's ballet
Almighty father, thank you for all
The fun and excitement on your great ball
No matter what you have planned for us
We'll perform until we fall
We are all the chosen ones
Dressed up for God's masquerade
Without a stage and audience

A cold and endless void of glimmering bright souls I see
Drifting around our sad and mundane reality
An astral plane filled with strange harmony
Where the dead march on, through infinity
But I don't know where they go
No one's come back to tell me the truth
Have you ever wondered what's beyond
Your terrestrial life and corporal bonds?
Have you ever pondered on what's out there,
When your life is over and finished here?
The greatest mystery of all
On golden rays of light. On shining silvery beams
Ethereal beings float in beautiful glittering streams
Dancing slowly towards the unknown
To a place our Maker has shown?
Well, I don't know where they go
No one's come back to tell me the truth
Have you ever wondered what's beyond
Your terrestrial life and corporal bonds?
Have you ever pondered on what's out there,
When your life is over and finished here?
The greatest mystery of all
All these souls, like a billion fires,
Illuminate the void as life expires
But like grains of sand they are blown astray
On a terminal voyage
On a terminal voyage they sail

You sworn the sacred oath to God
and to the evil beast below,
and then you took place as the Grim Reaper
You were supposed to bring the souls
from all the bodies of the dead
But you had other plans, you stole instead

Years of lies to collect and build your own paradise,
where you thought you could be safe
But all your plans were crushed when God found out

Liar! now you shall burn in the Fire
for years of greed and desire
It's time to pay, and you will pay with your life
Sinner! you always thought you're a winner,
but you were just a loser in a Grim Reaper suit
Now, meet your fate in the flames
You played a false and wicked game
You didn't care about the souls
You were possessed of stealing. Oh! you were God
And all the beautiful young girls
that just had died an early death,
became your favourite toys and great lovers

A distant voice enters his mind

The serpent will poison your sublime
Thunder and lightning may have dyed your blood
But you can't escape the twilight of the gods
With the hammer you have crushed
All who stood in your way
But strength and deity
Won't help you on the final day
As chaos reigns
And the Valkyries sing,
A warning is sent only for him
Lord of the sky, you're running out of time
The serpent will poison your sublime
Thunder and lightning may have dyed your blood
But you can't escape the twilight of the gods

Another day to fight for
my unspoken rights
How can you say it's worth the price
You pay in a cage of lies?
Another chapter in the daily book if sin
Here I'm supposed to walk along
A path which I know is wrong
You may say I aim too high,
But I know what I have to do
I can't see the reason why
The old dream should not come true
Out of the void
Against the wind of madness
Into tomorrow I sail with my hope
No time to waste
I'm heading for the future
I'll carry on till I finally reach
My burning vision
Tired of being the prey and
always hearing them say
You can not raise a family
Lost in a fantasy
Detested by the fools who
never break a rule
But their eternal jealousy
Won't change my destiny
You may say I aim too high,
But I know what I have to do
I can't see the reason why
The old dream should not come true
Out of the void
Against the wind of madness
Into tomorrow I sail with my hope
No time to waste
I'm heading for the future
I'll carry on till I finally reach
My burning vision
When dreams and memories collide
I'll be leaving for the final ride
Just like the wind I'll
travel across the seas
Under skies of glory I will
fly, forever free
Laughing at the pain in my past
Out of the void
Against the wind of madness
Into tomorrow I sail with my hope
No time to waste
I'm heading for the future
I'll carry on till I finally reach
So you want to hear a tale, you say?
A true story from my younger days?
I'll try to recall, so now listen well
As I tell you about this demon from Hell
Far to the north, into the barren Wastes we went, my companions and I
To a place where the lost stronghold of king Tharngrim was said to lie
After many a peril we found it, but a shadow hung over the place
We were told of a prophecy. A demon returning one of these days
Shortly the keep was beset by a tide of Chaos, and we were pushed back
To the innermost hall, where we prepared a last stand for the final attack
Though we had fought hard and well our hopes were dead and gone,
For we all knew that the worst was yet to come
So there we stood in silence and stark fear, awaiting our fate
Then the silence ended as a tremendous force shattered the last gate
Ablaze in the darkness of the smashed gate was a pair of eyes. Like burning coal
It was violence incarnate, terrifying beyond comprehension to behold
Then it spoke with a roaring voice, and eyes shining brightly with insane bloodthirst
"I've come back, just as I promised. Well, little dwarfs, who wants to die first?"
Like a blood soaked god it came, truly the terror of its name
For the blood and souls it came, for an old debt to be claimed
As the prophecy foretold the foul demon returned
And the noble king Tharngrim painfully learned
That yesterdays glory can be turned into tomorrows doom
When he faced the Terror down in the mountain's gloom
Its axe rose and fell in great bloody arcs, turning the floor into a red lake
As it ploughed through the dwarf host and left a crimson ruin in its wake
And despite the sentinel's determination to protect their king
I witnessed the prophecy come true as the king was slain by this vile thing
Well, the story has come to an end
I hope you have enjoyed the tale, my friend
But listen to me, and listen well
They do exist, these demons from Hell
So now be sure to remember, my son,
That Chaos snare the unwary one
Are you ready?
Welcome the night. Put your worries away
Leave the sirens for a while
Enter the quiet and mysterious place
Let the silence roll the dice
Pre Chorus
A shadow never lies
We stand on the edge of the world
The gate is open wide
And out of the dark he crawls
right into your mind

Don't wait for the devil tonight
You're a midnight dreamer
Don't wait for the devil tonight

when the light has gone away

Jaws of devastation
breathing fire in my face
Words of oppression bite me with disgust
Eyes of condemnation
piercing my forsaken soul
Another sacrifice has to be done
In the altar's shadow
I confess my heresy
I'm a perfect sinner,
unbound and free
All my demons come alive
inside the temple of immortal shame
Lord, have mercy on me now!
I have no other choice but to lie
straight in the face of Death
Claws of frozen hatred
wrapping tight around my neck
as I'm allowed to answer the foul beast
Can I cheat to be spared
from the hand of slavery
or will my true intentions be revealed?
Life, only for the brave
Whips and chains, only for the slaves

Bound to the never changing
sound of the raven's black wings
We all wear the thorny crown until the end

Welcome to the final masquerade
Come inside and see the abject symphony play

Learning to die from my requiem

Like a bolting herd they came from the gates of hell
All baptised in the Devil's name to serve under his bell
In the wind you hear them scream "Time to feed the sword!"
Blood now flows in an endless stream to praise and honour their lord
Pre Chorus
You never know when they attack,
until you fall with a sword in your back
Soldiers of death appear in your last breath
And there will be no time to fight
'cause you're already the target in their sight
Now hear them shout!
Chorus
We are the great Knights of Prey
We were born to slay and spread terror over the world
See us ride together as one, with mercy to none
'cause we are the great Knights of Prey,
and we are out of control
There's no place where you can hide, there's no use to flee
Through the cities, side by side comes your cruel destiny
Only a few chosen men can defend mankind
Will we ever be free again and get peace in our minds

A war between Heaven and Hell, and no one knows

Pre Chorus
[Music: Mikael Dahl o Lyrics: Mikael Dahl, Andreas Gotesson]
And so the story began with me falling
into a dream where the forest were calling
Closer and closer the twilight was dragging
me down to the unknown
so here I am all alone in the tree land
feeling the wind of my fate close at hand
Creatures of the night begins to take form
I'm surrounded now
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know how it all began
I can't remembere anything
Yesterday's forever gone
I am trapped in a place beyond time
[Chorus]
And the moon is shining bright over the forest
And the creatures of the night won't let me rest
Beyond reality - for no one to see
Dark is the dream - no one hears my scream
I can't stand those staring eyes
Eyes of the forest gloom
Eyes of the forest gloom
Predator eyes that watch me intensely,
their gaze from the shadows are burning me slowly
Hunted I search for my way through the dreamscape
and it's feel so real
Will I survive? I have to wake up,
but deep inside I know that I'm trapped
Lost in a dream that's no longer a dream
My life is flashing by
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Silver moonbeams light my way with their glow
Yet, gnarled trees rip my skin as I go
Deeper down into the ominous gloom
I'm afraid this path is leading to my doom
[Solo: Nyberg - Dahl]

Music: Mikael Dahl - Lyrics: Mikael Dahl
A wind of hatred is blowing across the field
I am the voice of the Clans
The leader of the Highlands
and we have come here for blood and victory
Pre Chorus
Before my army I speak the great words of war:
Brothers, they may take our lives
but they'll never take away our freedom
Chorus
Scotland! I hear you call my name,
now as we ride towards our aim
England! I damn you as I cry:
Pay for the blood on the Highlands and die!
You took my father's life
You raped and killed my wife
In God's name I swear I'll get my revenge
The great rebellion I bring
will slay you and your foul king
I am the legend, the brave, the proud, your fate

The last words are spoken, now hear them roar in the wind:
Brothers, they may take our lives
but they'll never take away our freedom

There's a mountain by the northern sea
High and mighty like an endless tower
A tempting and majestic sight
with a treacherous secret
There's a legend 'bout its mystery
and it speaks about a tremendous power
A creation of the Gods
and a gate to Heaven
Pre Chorus
At night you see the light that will invite
the fearless to the summit
Climb and you will find yourself behind
the walls of ancient stone
Chorus
Lost souls in the mountain's grave
Not dead or alive, just forgotten
Trapped in the adventurers' cave
All condemned to languish in darkness,
silence and madness
Forever paying the price
in the heart of the mountain
In a dream you saw the land of gold,
as the mountain tempted in a vision
Where the angels spread their wings
there's where you'll find your freedom
To the glorious dream your soul was sold
To find the house of God became your mission
So you left your past behind,
and now you're heading for the sky
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Solo Both, Dahl, Nyberg
By the light at the summit
you are turned to stone
Have you forgotten the end of your dream?
Are you afraid of tomorrow?
Will you remember the song of the earth
when there is no light to follow?
Pre Chorus
When the dark lord appears to embrace our mortal souls
will you then be strong and believe
or welcome the tears of rage to your eyes?
Solo Dahl
Chorus
Father of shadows and father of time
You are the guardian of our lives
Father of shadows and father of time
Who will be guarding us when your eyes are closed?
Have you abandoned the path of the brave
to roam in silence forever?
Only the burden of losses remains
inside the void of your chamber
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Sometimes I hear your voice
Far away, calling my name but I know
Music: Dahl, Kaupamaa - Lyrics: Andreas Götesson
On a cold winternight with the moon ablaze
We where gathered around the fireplace
Silent we sat with our foaming ales
Respectfully waiting for the old man's tale
With a final draw on his ivory pipe
The old man raised his voice , and began
As his voice raised and sank in the strangest rhyme
We drifted away to worlds of ancient times
By his words we where able to see through his eyes
Into places beyond where dragons still flies
Chorus:
Forgotten realms , mysterious lands
When childhood dreams are close at hand
With mythical beasts and lustrous elfs
Those magical worlds reveal themselves
Solo: Dahl - Jukka - Both - Dahl - Jukka
And when the story ended we felt hollow yet glad
The return to the grey reality made us all a bit sad
But I could see the faith in everyones eyes
That somewhere , there are worlds where dragons fly
And this strange night in late december
Will stay in my mind , and I'll , remember
Now I stand here alone
watching over shadows
on this field of death
I slowly raise my head
I can't escape or deny
the pain I carry inside
But I will rise again
before the night descends
[Pre Chorus]
Armed to prevail and eager to slay
I can't rest until I get my revenge
[Chorus]
Raise your banners
Raise your banners high
Into battle - Into war we'll ride
Rumbling under the sky
the brave are waiting to fight
Laughing at your gods
I'll crush your filthy hearts
Let the wind of war whine
as the chaos arise
What will be, will be
This is my destiny
[Pre Chorus]
You'll taste my blade in one final breath
I can't rest until you're wiped off this earth

1660, a child was born,
who grew up to be a man of greed and scorn
Born a noble, but denied his legacy,
young Adrian began a life of piracy
Possessed with a hunger for gold crowns,
and bloodlust in a heart so cold
All ships that he met went down
to the bottom, released from gold
His dark reputation was growing,
and so did the prize on his head
The streams of blood and gold were flowing,
and most rulers wanted him dead
Pre Chorus
Blinded by his greed he made a name in history
Great tall ships and many men met their destiny
Oh, but he could not see
how his end would be,
to hang from a tree
for his piracy
Chorus
And so the legend was born
about the king of the seven seas
Adrian Blackwood was his name
And still no one has found
the treasure from the wild plundering
times, when the seven seas were ruled
by gunpowder, blood and gold
His downfall was caused by treason,
with kings gold his crew were bought
Jealousy and greed were the reasons
when Blackwood the Cruel was caught

In a place far away from here,
in another world â another sphere,
a new day is waiting to be born
A single roar of rage is torn
By thousands and thousands they fly
into a misty and haunting grey sky
But when they break through the haze
scales and fangs shine in the sun's rays
Chorus:
Here in this strange dimension,
in this ancient place
dragons reign, totally supreme,
through time and space
Solo: Dahl, Karlsson
Crystal eyes of cold and cruel minds,
gazing down at the weak human kind
And so they fall from the sky like rain,
breathing fire â grim dealers of pain

Sweat is running free, trickling down on my brow
Every man that I see is a potential foe
Have to stay down, have to stay low
Can not let them know
[Pre-Chorus]
And if I just can stay alert and keep my senses clear
I know that I can beat them all and maybe kill my fear
[Chorus]
But the man in the mirror is my worst enemy
Everywhere, he is there, always following me
I'm paranoid to the extreme
Agony, panic and fear are surging up inside of me
Hidden dangers are everywhere to see
Malicious lurkers, I have to flee
Oh please let me be
[Pre-Chorus]

Music: Mikael Dahl - Lyrics: Dahl, Götesson
Gazing out my window into a world of shadows
Snow is slowly falling, I feel something calling
Something is wrong in this landscape of ice,
and I can almost sense reality's demise
I rub my eyes, is this a trick of my mind?
But it seems that the world has changed
Confounded I feel a chilling wind,
and I realise there is snow in my room
And I see places I have never been
And I see things I have never seen
Pre Chorus
So I press my face closer to the glass
Staring out, oblivious of the time that pass
What was that under the oak over there?
Was there some kind of laughter in the chilly air?
Chorus
A journey through ice in the winternight,
a place forever dressed in white
Reality fades in the winternight,
a land of shadows and moonlight

And I'm beginning to hear and see

Living for the day
Life lights their way
They are all forever free
They will never die,
never wonder why

There will always be sun up in the sky
a raimbow standing high
Red horizon lights their way over the seas,
from tears of the trees
Here they always stay

Fly on forever,
on winds of the free
Beyond reality,
a world in harmony
They are all living in peace

We all will die someday
I hope I'll find the way
to the land of glory, and
yhen I'll fly on the winds of the tree
The day of our revenge is dawning with a chilling haze
Like the day we fell from grace
It was a shameful black day when our bravery failed
But today valour shall prevail
Under the rising sun the mist of the morning clears,
Revealing a forest of spears
A loathsome crawling mass of filth, roaring with bloodlust
Well, this time they will be crushed
Charge!
The thunder of pounding hooves below
Heralds the doom of our foes
Like thunder we descend upon our prey
For our shame they will pay
Might and honour
Now we shall restore our tarnished name and pride
Might and valour
Once again the White Company of Wolves rides
Into battle and war
With the sound of horns and the rumbling roll of drums
We attack the tainted scum
Shouting war cries like howling wolves we ride down the slope
Our hearts filled with fierce joy and hope
No more shall we have to feel the infamous bitter pain,
Or bow our heads in shame
By death or victory our honour shall be restored
So, in the name of our Lord
Charge!
The thunder of pounding hooves below
Heralds the doom of our foes
Like thunder we descend upon our prey
For our shame they will pay
Might and honour
Now we shall restore our tarnished name and pride
Might and valour
Once again the White Company of Wolves rides
Into battle and war
With fury singing in our veins
We smite our fallen leader's bane
Our hammers are smashing a gory
Path to redemption and sweet glory
Might and honour
Now we shall restore our tarnished name and pride
Might and valour
Once again the White Company of Wolves rides
Into battle and war
In the forest of silver and haze
where the children of yesterday play
We sail away on a river of dreams
bound to carry the night side by side
No tomorrow, no clouds in the sky
Just the echo of time passing by
We hold the moment and glide with the wind
to wherever the stars may decide
Eyes of thousands are shining in the night
for the power of sound in the neon lights
Smoke and thunder, excitement and delight
The show has begun and the waves on the sea never end
We all come alive in the land of memories
where our destinies unite in harmony
Shadows of the night, young and old, stranger or not
There's a room for everyone who come to the wall of stars
See the beauty embracing the beast
to the magic of song in the breeze
In the eye of the storm they are lost
gazing over the field where spirits fly
I recall another day
I recall another place
No matter how far you go
you'll always be heading home
Immortal words in the wind
[Music: Mikael Dhal, Claes Wikander o Lyrics: Mikael Dahl]
They came from far away,
from a land in a frozen time
Through ice and snow they walked
with their broken homes in mind,
they cried!
Without a warning
they ended all lifes in their way
In search for a land
where they could forever stay
[Chorus]
Blood on the snow and cries in the wind
Wictims of hate, they fell to the ground
One by one, they tasted vengeance
No one could fight the soldiers in a frozen time
With tears in their eyes
the ground was painted in red
They searched for revenge,
by tghe frozen hate they were led
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
A battle in tears for the homes they had
lost in the cold
They murdered all those who dared to
come in their way
[Solo: Nyberg - Dahl]
Who where those soldiers
with frozen hate inside
And all poor victims
who had no place to hide
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
...the soldiers in a frozen time they murdered all

The look of disbelief is still in your face
as I watch how your eyes begin to glaze
Your broken body lies in a growing pool
of blood⦠I have betrayed you, you sorry old fool
But to have your Art makes it worth this crime,
and your former knowledge will soon be mine
In my hands I now hold your Grand Grimoire,
the source of your once great might and arcane lore
Pre Chorus
How many times have I not cursed these pages?
It feels like I've been reading for ages
But I can not give up, I have to be patient
'cause your book contains the Art of the Ancient

Soon your magic will lie in my hands
Every spell, powerful and grand,
of the greatest Art are going to be known to me

The Art engulfs me in a roaring magic tide

For how many years have I not yearned and craved for this?
It feels like I have reached eternal bliss
And it does not matter much that my soul is stained

of the greatest Art are now finally known to me

I am divine, pure energy
The Ancient's power flows in me
But it's to much for my mind to sustain
With a sudden burst of pain
all magic's scorched from my brain,
and I realise that all have been in vain
My Art is forever gone!
Solo Nyberg, Dahl
Chorus
So now my magic's no more
My Art is gone, my precious lore
has forever been burned away from my very core
And now I am neither the Master Mage nor
the wizard's apprentice
Night falls on the battlefield
where the blood of heroes lie
Still dying with sword in hand
I await the northern lights
Borne on the wings of fate they'll come
to grant my final ride
To the land of the glorious dead, up high
where I shall be given eternal life
With the bravest warriors I'll unite
On the plain of consecration I'll fight
In the home of the slain
there is only room for the chosen ones
Let me die bold and brave
to deserve my place in the Halls of Valhalla
All my life I have been yearning
for this battle to come
Night and day I have been fighting
for my prize to be won
Death calls in the chilling wind
How I yearn to bid farewell
to the Earth and mortality
and the sky I know too well
Borne on the wings of fate they'll come
to grant my final ride
Odin! Expose your kingdom in the sky
Embrace my soul, now as I die
Nothing remains between me and the stars
So now I'm claiming my reward
Asgard awaits, Asgard awaits
Let me come home
Don't forget me, don't forsake me
Let me come home
Home to my father where I was meant to be
Long ago I saw tomorrow drift away
like a whirlwind on the ocean
Left alone to walk the island of decay
like a blind man led to nowhere
Pre Chorus
I let it go, I let it go
After all I've found a way
from the hammer of the Gods
to the power of the dark
And the road goes on and on
Chorus
I'm coming for the fire of Hades
My eternal paradise
I'm coming for the fire of Hades
Where the tempter calls my name
I surrender my soul as a final sacrifice
Over mountains roar the sound of yesterday
like a last cry of the mourner
Round and round inside the broken wheel of pain
with no light or destination

I'm coming home sailing on the last rays of the sun

[Music: Mikael Dahl o L:yrics: Andreas Gotesson]
Way up north where the eagles sore,
beneath a mountain, whitin its core
There's a treasure, you've been told,
lakes of silver and hills of gold
But the stories they also told
about the dragon who killed the bold
who dare to enter his dark domains
to steal his treasure, they died in flames!
[Pre-Chorus]
Into the darkness you go
Defying the dangers ahead
In search for silver and gold
Driven by greed
[Chorus]
Upon his treasure lies the creature rare
A sleeping beast of fire and air
Well, enter thief now if you dare
Yes enter fool! the dragon's lair
Down in the dungeons you make your way
In total darkness, is it night or day?
Slowly sneaking on soundless feet,
moving towards the increasing heat
The smell of sulphur, the gragon's near,
but so is the treasure so don't feel fear
The call of gold you just can't deny
In death awaits: well, you have to try
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Shining silver and glittering gold
It's beyond your wildest dreams
and you steal with eyes that gleams
But the sound of ringing gold
wakes the beast of stories told
The rattling coins seal your fate
With a single glance into his CRYSTAL EYES,
your greedy soul is lost, turned to ice!

The cream of the realm is here,
kings and queens with sons and daughters
It's truly a most grandiose ball,
nobles fill the halls
Like sheep, ready for slaughter

Oh, with rising hate I watch them dance,
I watch them prance
Oh, how I loathe these haughty swine
I'll rid the world of this living grime

Peasants are saying, oh not without glee,
there's an aristocrat out on a killing spree
A noble, thirsty for royal blood they say

Strong winds on the sea of the damned

Springtime is the season we hail,
the time to set our sails
Shortly we will set our course

Oh Thor! bring us the storm

From the north we come - Great Odin's sons
Glory will come as we sail
From the sea we come - Great Odin's sons
Fearless and strong we'll prevail

'cause mayhem is our way
We hunt, rape and slaughter the weak
Destruction is what we seek

See the suffering man with a sword in his hand
He's standing by the grave of the girl he could not save
There's a tear in his eye, and he's wondering why
the father in the sky had let the young girl die
[Pre Chorus]
The lonely man kneels down to pray
while her spirit flies away
But he knows that someday they will meet again
[Chorus]
Somewhere over the sun,
where the sky is the ground,
where the bright angels fly,
where we go when we die
Filled with anger and hate he will search for his fate
In darkness he will walk, to no one he will talk
For revenge he will slay all who'll come in his way,
and with her face in mind he'll leave no life behind
[Pre Chorus]
A river of blood fills his trace
All are damned who see his face
He won't rest 'til that day when they meet again

all my thoughts were true
There's neither a Heaven nor a paradise

Behold the eternal loner
escaping his troubled mind
A stranger caught in the wheel of time
The lost traveller is fighting
to hold back the passing days
but there're no breaks on the train of life
Can I forgive? Can I forget? I don't know
Maybe the wind of death will solve it all
Somewhere I went astray
in labyrinths of my soul
I try to find my way
walking along endless
roads of loneliness
The eyes of the solitary
are nailed to the empty view
of everlasting uncertainty
How long do I have to struggle
when no battle's to be won?
Beneath the blackened sky
when the diamonds glow
you taste the moonlight in solitude
Far away from life's eternal decay
The wheel of time aches in your restless heart
The haunting inner voice of freedom won't let you go
Long years of torment and never left alone
You seek a place where the cold winds don't blow
Pre Chorus
In your own sanctuary from life. Yes!
Strangers and lies fade in your mind
On the edge of midnight

Ride the rainbow. Aim for the sky
Tame the starlight and you will fly
Ride the rainbow. Let your kingdom come
Claim the night. You're the chosen one
Ride the rainbow. Ride forever
Find the gate to your dreams. Ride the rainbow

So pure and innocent
in your bleeding eyes
The perfect darkness relieve the pain
Yet the wounds of war and violence remain

Tear down the walls
Hunt the King out of his halls
Dethrone the One and we'll be in command
What ever we'll meet,

Freedom we claim to the Shadowland

No more lies. Let the crown of the tyrant fall
It's the final battle of the Shadowland
Glory days and peace are waiting for us all
It's the revolution of the Shadowland

Drawn by insurrection we will prevail

Lightning strikes on the wild raging sea,

Roaring thunder in the burning horizon,
waves high in the sky
But the warrios on the ship of hate
will stay in their course
Thunderstorm will not stop the rage
or the cry for blood

On and on, in the storm
Through the horizon
Wind in their sails
Lust for fight, kill and rape

Tyrants out on the sea
Death awaits in their steel
This battleship will be your end
Hungry eyes of the pirates
Anger grows on the sea
By the sword you will die
Breaking the waves like a sword in the wind,

Searching for flesh to their steel,
they will show no mercy
Eternal evil, hate and pride,
there's no escape
Glory shines in their eyes,
to pride to die

Let me out. Let me out of here
I just can't take it no longer
Let me go, and leave me alone
Before I go insane
Born to run, and follow the sight
Of despair, chaos and fright
Desperate taking soul after soul
I'm out of control
In panic I am damned to live my life
My actions are not of my will,
But they seem to give my brain a thrill
I can not resist my heinous slaughter
I'm caught in a mad machine
Destruction and death are all I've seen
How can I escape this hellish nightmare?
Let me out. Let me out of here
I just can't take it no longer
Let me go, and leave me alone
Before I go insane
Born to run, and follow the sight
Of despair, chaos and fright
Desperate taking soul after soul

Desperate taking soul after soul

When darkness enters my life,
that's when you arise
Slowly crawling into my mind
from the other side
In a callous realm, I'm captured,
completely paralysed
Through your eyes I see the real world,
where love and hate have died

I'm terrified, but somehow I have always known
We are nothing but wandering spirits in an endless void

On the edge of time I face my destiny,
and find myself within a false reality
Was my life a lie inside an evil whirl?
Oblivion reign within the Visionary World,
forever
Solo Dahl
Bridge
Lifeless, impassive and alone
Dreaming a dream that's not my own
Am I alive or dead?
When did they conquer our kind?
Why did they take control of our minds?
My past is erased and gone
I'm lost in a cage
Created in the age of silence and illusions
Restless and fierce we're approaching this unspoiled new ground
Eager to kill, feast and rape in this new land we've found
The moon is high, but no one knows
What's landed by the bay
In your town soon blood will flow
Just before the dawn of day
Warriors from the land of the midnight sun
Wield your axes for live shall none
For your gold and the slaughter
We have sailed far on stormy waters
Many coasts have been conquered and laid to rest
On our great never-ending quest
There is nothing to stop the northern rage
In this dark and violent age
At midnight we reach our target and the plundering begins
We slay every one of you as we enjoy our sins
The massacre echoes in the night, filled with grief and pain
When the last home burn in the morning light, nothing here remains
Warriors from the land of the midnight sun
Wield your axes for live shall none
For your gold and the slaughter
We have sailed far on stormy waters
Many coasts have been conquered and laid to rest
On our great never-ending quest
There is nothing to stop the northern rage
In this dark and violent age
Longing for glory
We're the masters of the sea
Anger's our story
Gold and blood are all we need
Encouraged by the Gods
Our journey shall go on forever
Warriors from the land of the midnight sun
Wield your axes for live shall none
Warriors from the land of the midnight sun
Wield your axes for live shall none
For your gold and the slaughter
We have sailed far on stormy waters
Many coasts have been conquered and laid to rest
On our great never-ending quest
There is nothing to stop the northern rage
Music: Mikael Dahl - Lyrics: Mikael Dahl
Hey Metalhead! It's time to wake the dead
Step out of the shade, and join the great crusade
I'll be your guide on this glory ride,
and you will be my crowd. United, strong and loud
Pre Chorus
It's in our hearts, souls and blood forever,
and nobody can change it. No never!
Since the day we where born, we've been bound
to its powerful sound
Chorus
Heavy Metal â Is our sound
Heavy Metal â Is our ground
Heavy Metal â Heavy Metal
Come join the Metal Crusade
Solo Dahl
Fist in the air, I see them everywhere
Now they have to see what has got to be
Screaming guitars heading for the stars
It's time to let it out, so raise your voice and shout!
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Heavy Metal â Roars in our brains
Heavy Metal â Runs in our veins
Heavy Metal â Heavy Metal
Come join the Metal Crusade
Solo Both, Dahl, Both
It's our religion
Chorus
Heavy Metal â The only way
Heavy Metal â Is here to stay
Heavy Metal â Heavy Metal
Always forever
Heavy Metal - Heavy Metal
Heavy Metal - Heavy Metal
Come join the Metal
When the morning has broken
can you see the great open sky,
or are you afraid to enter life?
From your world's obligations
I have struggled to get away,
and now I'm finally free
From the land of order I'm hiding
In the hand of shelter I roam
There's a light beyond the mountains,
and there's where I go
When the Maker rock the boat
the unbelievers dive together
Tonight we celebrate our never-ending flight
And together side by side we run into the light
I'm a needle in your eye
I'm the one you can never be
You're a dutiful drudge lost in time
There is no use denying
labour and guilt will always rule
your predictable realm
There are preachers among the fools
spinning tales of laws and rules
It's a language spoken in vain
[Music: Mikael Dahl o Lyrics: Andreas Gotesson]
It's the golden age of the human race
The time has come to conquer space
'cause we have learned to navigate
in time and space, through stargates
[Pre-Chorus]
Our starships fill the skies in countless worlds
Our warlords burn the worlds in countless galaxies
Solar Systems we bring to an end
Through war and destruction we will transcend
[Chorus:]
All over universe we are bringing war
to every galaxy we explore
Through windows in warp space
we reach the most distant place
with our mission: Interstellar war!
In every corner of the universe
planets die, explode and burst
Billions of life forms meet their fate,
due to our hunger to dominate
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus:]
The universe is now in our grasp
The last resistance is falling fast
The days of glory are drawning near,
when man shall rulle with pain and fear
[Pre-Chorus]
Music: Mikael Dahl - Lyrics: Andreas Götesson
Far away in the desolate East,
something evil has been unleashed
The dead are restless, they rise from their graves.
The Undead King is calling his slaves
"Come!"
Pre Chorus
Forever onward in pale, cold moonlight
the undead march from their kingdom of blight
They seek revenge upon all living things
Behold the army of the Undead King
Chorus
In silence they march,
hundreds of thousands of living dead
For vengeance they march,
they will not rest 'til the living is dead
Legions and legions of foul skeletons,
rotting zombies and dark fallen ones
All have been summoned by the Liche Lord,
who will murder the world with this horde
"Die!"
Pre Chorus
Forever onward in pale, cold moonlight
the undead march from their kingdom of blight
They bring destruction and death to all living things
Behold the army of the Great Undead King
Chorus
Bridge
The Necromancer is filled with dark mirth,
soon he has slain and conquered the Earth
At last his revenge is within reach,
when all are undead slaves to the Liche
Solo Dahl, Nyberg
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Outro
And somewhere in the army of the Undead King
[Music: Mikael Dahl o Lyrics: Mikael Dahl]
Heed the call that's striking the skyline of the world
A screaming sound louder than no one's ever heard
[Pre-Chorus]
Like a mighty roarig fire
Coming down from high above
From the kingdom of the sky
to defend the earth
[Chorus]
We are the heroes of our time
We are the guardians of mankind
We're riding the never-ending storm
We're the army of the sky
Power and glory, we'll never die
We're fighting the forces of evil
We're the gods of the world
Deliverance, from all the pain in human minds
Rising hope, leaving the troubles far behind
[Pre-Chorus]
As the sunlight burns the rainbow,
great saviours fill the air
To protect the human race
and save the world
[Chorus]
[Solo: Nyberg - Dahl - Niberg - Dahl]
[Chorus]
[Music: Mikael Dahl o Lyrics: Mikael Dahl]
Raise the banner to the sky
Saddle the beasts for battle now
Play the tunes of war
Mighty knights grab your swords and fight
Brothers of battle show your hate
United we are the enemies fate
Slaughter is our aim
Blood will flow, heads will roll
[Pre-Chorus]
we are the sons of evil
The call of the wild
We are the gods of war
The great force of death
[Chorus]
We're riding the glory war
On and on we're fighting with honour and pride
We are crusading now
Now it's time for victory
No surrender , no retreat
Across the battlefield
soldiers are raging tonight
Anger, hatred, agression, pain
Behold the weak that won't remain
Let the ground be covered
with their blood and our pride
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Solo: Dahl - Nyberg]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Countdown! The time is right
We got a final war to fight
On the road again
We're blood bound. We're dynamite
Rise up! It's do or die
There's only one way to survive
Ride against the wind
and don't stop for anyone
Pre Chorus
Lightning, thunder
They can't break our storm asunder
Aiming higher, it's here and now
Chorus
Keep on fighting - Never back down or surrender
Keep on fighting - Tell the world you're alive
Keep on fighting - You were born to rock forever
Keep on fighting - There is no compromise
Breakout! It's time to burn
We've heard the call. There's no return
Leave the past behind
and fly straight into the sun
Stand proud and hold your gun
The revolution has begun
There's a world to win
so don't stop until you've won
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Solo Paul, Dahl
Bridge
All of the time, keeping the fight alive, all of the time
Aaaah Aaaah! Keeping the fight alive until we die
Chorus
By moonlight we carry the flame
but the nightfall won't take away the pain
No shadows awaits on the road
still the echo of yesterday remains
On a cold and misty journey
in the silence of the woods
we are chasing great illusions
forever in her realm
She's the lady of the twilight
and the only one who knows
When the trees of sorrow whisper
no one is alive
Pre Chorus
The eyes of tomorrow are blind
no matter how the wind cries
The sighs of the forest are loud
A sound that never ends
Chorus
We sail away again
on a broken dream
We've paid the price and more
but still we are not free
We are dying in the rain
Silent dying in the rain
Look out!
Solo Dahl
Like a million tears of anger
the unspoken fly away
On the lonely road to nowhere
no words are allowed
Pre Chorus
The wise have abandoned their souls
to wander naked and cold
The proud are invisible fools
whose failure never ends
Chorus
Dying in the rain
Music: Mikael Dahl - Lyrics: Mikael Dahl
Across a hot and desert land
Against the wind of dust and sand
Reality seems so far away
Under the burning mortal sun
I find myself, the lonely one
A stranger rushing blindly through the day
Pre Chorus
Burning Horizon you are calling me
Burning Horizon you will set me free
Chorus
Once a hero, now a shade
Chasing dreams that slowly fade
On the endless road to nowhere I ride
Once a proud man, now a ghost
In search of peace from coast to coast
From my dark and empty life I can not hide
Don't know how many years have past,
or how long this journey will last
Tomorrow seems so far far away
I am a madman on the run
Yes, a lost forgotten son
All I know's that I can not stay
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Solo Both, Dahl, Nyberg
Bridge
Memories of pain hunt me everyday
They're driving me insane.
I can't find a way out of this hell
Someone please tell. Why did it all go wrong?
And tell me where, just where do I belong?
Let me find a place to stay
Buildings of dark crumbling stone
A presence of malice and horrors unknown
Vast endless stairways and halls
From black yawning portals insanity calls
In ruins aeons old,
beneath the sea,
the Ancients long to be free
They lie dead and dreaming
at this fallen site,
waiting for their soon coming reign
When their slaves start dreaming,
and the stars are right,
they'll awake again and reclaim
the Earth
Nightmares cause mind-numbing fear
to poets and artists all over the world
Strange visions are haunting their sleep:
A city of madness that lurks in the deep
Timeless terrors rise
Insanity awaits for all humanity
Beyond the doors of the living
where imagination fades
The eyes of ancient ages
are gazing over a crimson shade
The future unfolds with the rising sun
Unspoken words where nothing yet's been done
Where the book of life paints the sky
Dawn dancer share your mind
Tell me the story of tomorrow
Dawn dancer let me know
the one way I must follow
Dawn dancer turn the page
Where do I go and what is my fate?
Dawn dancer tell me all
Now, before it is too late
A warning from the unknown
A prophecy for the wise
The coming lies before you,
but can you see your own demise?
A distant sight visualize our doom
Destiny calls and the future looms
Where the book of life paint the sky
I'm ready for the end
Let us find it together
I'm ready for knowledge
Music: Mikael Dahl - Lyrics: Mikael Dahl
I was born in the unknown
I am the ruler in knowledge of prophecy
The beholder of your life
Life is sometimes very strange
You can never know what's waiting behind the corner
Tomorrow you may be gone
Pre Chorus:
You don't know the end of your life,
only that you where born
In my eyes I can see your future
Chorus:
Crystal eyes - I see the shadow in the dark
Crystal eyes - I see the face under the mask
I see the growing hate and fear
I can see what's on a dictator's mind,
but I don't wanna realize
Down-heated in the jaws of death,
that will be the end of all the peoples life
And we all will be gone
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
Solo: Both, Dahl
Bridge:
I got eyes of the future
I can see the end of the Earth
Someone will blow up the world
War, death and starvation
We have gone to far
It's time to pay with our lives
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
Lay on the grass beside me, crystal eyes
You know you hypnotize me with your crystal eyes
But I woke when I found out
About your tiny little lies
And I had to face the truth
Just in time you know
Before you made me blue
Comes a time you know
When I will take no more (x2)
So lay on the grass beside me, crystal eyes
You know you hypnotize me with your crystal eyes
Skintight jeans lying on the green
It's only me who sees your tears
And it's time, you know
That maybe I should go
Make up your mind, you know
Before you're on your own (x2)
