Turn your head and see the fields of flame
He carries alone
from a distant place
he's on his way he'll bring decay
in shades of grey
We're doomed to face the night
Light's out of sight
Since we've reached the point of no return
We pray for starlight, we wait for the moon
The sky is empty alone in the unknown
We're getting nowhere
We have been betrayed by the wind and the rain
The sacred hall's empty and cold
The sacrifice made should not be done in vain
Revenge will be taken by Rome
We live a lie
under the dying moon
Pale faced laughs doom
indulges in deny
It's getting out of hand
The final curtain will fall
Hear my voice
There is no choice
There's no way out
You'll find out
We don't regret it
So many men have failed but now he's gone
Go out and get it
The madman's head it shall be thyne
We don't regret it
That someone else dies hidden in disguise
Go out and get it
Orion's hound shines bright
Don't you think it's time to stop the chase
Around the ring
Just stop running running
Round the ring
Don't you know that fate has been decided
By the gods
Feel the distance, distance out of reach
Welcome to the end
Watch your step Cassandra you may fall
As I've stumbled on the field
Sister mine
Death's a certain thing
And the otherworld, the otherworld appears
Find myself she dies in vain
I cannot be freed I'm falling down
As time runs faster moves towards disaster
The ferry man will wait for you my dear
And then there was silence
Just a voice from the otherworld
Like a leaf in an icy world
Memories will fade
Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty will be gone
Will my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of death I will smile
It's the triumph of shame and disease
Iliad
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright
The newborn child would carry ruin to the hall
The newborn's death will be a blessing to us all
Good choice?
Bad choice?
Out of three you've chosen misery
Power and wisdom you deny
Bad choice
Bad choice
War is the only answer
When love will conquer fear
So the judgment's been made
To the fairest the graceful says
Badly he fails
Fear the heat of passion Father King
Desire lust obsession death
They'll bring
She's like the sunrise
Outshines the moon at night
Precious like starlight
She'll bring in a murderous price
Jealousy
I can clearly see the end now
I can clearly see the end now
The thread of life is spun
The coin's been placed below my tongue
Never give up Never give in
Be on our side so we can win
Never give up Never give in
Be on our side
Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide
Nothing to lose like one we'll stand
We'll face the storm created by a man
And as the lion slaughters man
I am the wolf and you're the lamb
Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide
Nothing to lose like one we'll stand
It's all for one and one for
All we live for will be wiped out
I feel that something's wrong
Full moon your time goes by
And new moon's still kept out of sight
Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty will be gone
Will my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of death I will smile
It's the triumph of shame and disease
Iliad
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright
Roam in darkness
Roam in darkness
Roam in darkness
Roam in darkness
Roam in darkness
Roam in darkness
Troy in darkness
There's a cold emptiness in your hearts
They'll tear down the wall to bring it in
I truly believe in the lie
Lie Lie
With blossoms they'll welcome the old foe
The vision's so clear
When day and dream unite
The end is near you better be prepared
The nightmare shall be over now
There's nothing more to fear
Come join in our singing and dance with us now
The nightmare shall be over now
There's nothing more to fear
The war it is over forevermore
No hope
The blind leads the blind
Carry on
Though future's denied
Mare or stallion there's far more inside
We are in at the kill
We'll cheerfully die
Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty will be gone
Will my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of death I will smile
It's the triumph of shame and disease
Iliad
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright
Holy light shines on
So the judgment's been made
We're condemned through the trial's far ahead
The crack of doom
Father
Your handsome son is heading home
Distant shore
Heading home
Distant shore
Distant shore
Out of mind
Can't get it
Out of mind
Can't get it
Out of mind
Can't get it
Out of mind
Can't get it
Sorrow and defeat
Sorrow and defeat |
