Blind Guardian (Beyond The Spheres)

Follow The Guardian Of The Blind Love, a power/speed metal madness a la JRR Tolkien. Love is a blindness that devours and expands beyond us. We are the yin-yang pyred Middle-Earth empire vampire.

I was born the year JRR Tolkien died, 1973. He was a philologist. I am a philologist. He was Christian. I am Christian. He was an English writer. I write what sometimes resembles English. He didn’t listen to the awesome power/speed metal legend Blind Guardian that promotes reading of his richly inventive epic fantasy. I do, I have all of their CDs, I’ve been listening to Blind Guardian since I was like 15, I’m 50 now. I will update this BG love post of our Middle-Earth and include all the lyrics, a monumental work of art worthy of JRR Tolkien.

Inquisition (Remastered 2017)

Pie lesu domine, dona eis requiem! Translation: Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them rest!

Harvest of Sorrow (Remastered 2007)

She is gone
Leaves are falling down
The tear maiden will not return
The seal of oblivion is broken
And a pure love's been turned into sin

At the dawn of our living time
Hope may cover all cries
Truth lurks hidden in the shadows
Dreams might be filled with lies
Soon there will be night
Pain remains inside

Suddenly it seemed so clear
All the blindness was taken away
She closed her eyes
And she called out my name
She was never ever seen again

Harvest of sorrow
Your seed is grown
In a frozen world full of cries
When the ray of light shrinks
Shall cold winter nights begin

She is gone
And I fall from grace
No healing charm covers my wounds
Fooled's the dawn
And so I am
Fooled by life and a bitter doom
To bring you the end of the day

At the dawn of our living time
Hope it soon will pass by
Facing a darkness
I stand alone

Harvest of sorrow
Your seed is grown
In a frozen world full of cries
When the ray of light shrinks
Shall cold winter nights begin

Let It Be No More

Sad words cannot describe
The black hole inside us
Absorbing the numb feeling
The empty room
My hollow shrine
What will remain?
Who's left behind?

Without a sound
They disappeared
Without a sound
God interfered
We all witnessed the rapture
And we mourn for those who got lost
In the great divide

The great divide
We're not burning
We slowly rot
Then fade away
The grief remains

Let it be no more
May it be undone
Let it be no more
Things will stay the same
Stay the same
No change
Make me feel

Since Heaven doesn't care
We are doomed to stay here
(Get over it)
Keep on waiting
Up on your roofs
To meet the end
Feel purified
Feel proof inside
Believe in the word
(Get over it)

That's why you're burning
To be the spark
To be the flame
To be redeemed

Let it be no more
May it be undone
Let it be no more
Oh, where have they gone?
Have they gone?
Let me know
Let me see

Just comfort your mind
Still confidence lies bleeding
While things proceed
There'll be no change

Something must be wrong
Something must be wrong

Let it be no more
May it be undone
Let it be no more
For the chosen ones
Chosen ones
Are free
Let it be

Carry the Blessed Home

Pale-faced, the innocent
Will drown in blood
Hurt and withdrawn
Don't dare to steal my grief
In this haze of green and gold
He's gone

Blind my eyes
And I still can see through the mist
To the very end
There I'll face what I fear the most
Blind my eyes
But it all doesn't matter right now
I will bury my dead and keep on

'Til the end
I won't give up (i won't give up)
I'll turn to the red fields of none
There's a grave
There's a rose
Drift away

I can hear me say
"Soon you all shall be free"
Carry the blessed home
No one's left here but me
And I will sing out your name

Call me insane, I know
I've opened my heart and my soul to you, son
So pale turns the innocent
And all I feel is pain

Suddenly I understand
He's gone

Blind my eyes
And I still can see through the mist
To the very end
There I'll face what I fear the most
Blind my eyes
But it all doesn't matter right now
But it all doesn't matter right now

Carry the blessed home
No one's left here but me
And I will sing out your name

Driven insane? No no
What I fear the most I have faced and that's truth
The grey face is not innocent
Though I cry in dismay
I will follow decay, I'll move on

Is there anyone here
Who knows how it feels to be right?

Blind my eyes
And I still can see through the mist
To the very end
There I'll face what I fear the most
Blind my eyes
But it all doesn't matter right now
But it all doesn't matter right now

Matter right now
Matter right now

Nightfall (Remastered 2007)

No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried
"All hope's lost it can't be undone
They're wasted and gone"

"Save me your speeches
I know (They blinded us all)
What you want
You will take it away from me
Take it and I know for sure
The light she once brought in
Is gone forevermore"

Like sorrowful seaguls they sang
Lost in the deep shades
The misty cloud brought
(Come take a look at the sky)
Monstrous it covered the shore
Fearful into the unknown
Quietly it crept in new horror
Insanity reigned
And spilled the first blood
When the old king was slain
Nightfall

Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

"How long shall we
Mourn in the dark
The bliss and the beauty
Will not return
Say farewell to sadness and grief
Though long and hard
The road might be"
But even in silence I heard the words
"An oath we shall swear
By the name of the one
Until the world's end

Just wondering how
I can still hear these voices inside

The doom of the Noldor drew near

The words of a banished king
"I swear revenge"
Filled with anger
Aflamed our hearts
Full of hate, full of pride

Oh we screamed for revenge
Nightfall
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall

Immortal land lies down in agony

"Vala he is that's what you said
(Freely you came and)
Then your oath's been sworn in vain
Never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends"

"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!"
"You better don't trust him"
The enemy of mine
Isn't he of your kind and
Finally you may follow me yeah
"Farewell"
He said

Nightfall
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony
Back to where it all began
Back to where it all began

Journey Through the Dark (Remastered 2007)

Many songs I've written
About the things I saw
My inner soul's a wasteland
I can't run away from here
Try to find them
All the lost thoughts in my mind
I woke up on a hill
So many times before
Yesterday seems like a dream no more
Frozen memories laughing
They don't let me find the truth
Am I born to be a king
Or a jester of the fools

You're the mystical old bard
On your journey through the dark
Mystical old bard
Your journey through the dark

I can't remember my name
I never knew how to find my home
I can't remember my name
Come tell me where will it end
I'm the chosen one
To perform all these things
But not for me
In illusions and reality
I'm on my journey through the dark
I'm on my journey through the dark

You're the mystical old bard
On your journey through the dark
Mystical old bard
Your journey through the dark

I can't remember
Will I ever find myself
The distance is growing
My hope has gone away
A flash of light but nothing changes
When will it end
Which part of me remains

Soon I'll be back
On my ferryboat of tales
Where oblivion reigns
It will take all of me

You're the mystical old bard
On your journey through the dark
Mystical old bard
Your journey through the dark

Altair 4 (Remastered 2007)

At Hilly's show
they didn't know
that the Ending of "Being" is near
I can feel their voices
the old man cries
"Please save the boy
he's caught in a world far behind
from home"
Monster Anne is crying out
"Feel my pain I can't escape"
Bad chances for me
Altair 4

Altair 4

chosen by their whispering words
What is left behind?
When purple colours turn to black
Can you feel it?
Is there time?
Can you see it?
Is there life?
"Fly away and dream"

You're the Voice (Radio Edit)

We have the chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we wanna write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older

We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-uh-wo, uh-wo uh-wo, oh-oh-uh-wo, uh-wo uh-wo, oh-oh
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-uh-wo, uh-wo uh-wo, oh-oh-uh-wo, uh-wo uh-wo, oh-oh

This time, we know we all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing we can make it better

Oh, we're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-uh-wo, uh-wo uh-wo, oh-oh-uh-wo, uh-wo uh-wo, oh-oh
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-uh-wo, uh-wo uh-wo, oh-oh-uh-wo, uh-wo uh-wo, oh-oh

Oh, we're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-uh-wo, uh-wo uh-wo, oh-oh-uh-wo, uh-wo uh-wo, oh-oh
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-uh-wo, uh-wo uh-wo, oh-oh-uh-wo, uh-wo uh-wo, oh-oh

You're the voice, try and understand it

Age of False Innocence (Remastered 2017)

Cut off the light
Take a look
There's nothing beyond but pain
Suffer in the deepest void
The flame of hope is gone
What have I done?
Denied the father and the sun
For a moment it seemed
There's space beyond the spheres

Aflame the night
So clear and bright
Unstable light
You've been sacrificed in fear
Now there's one thing for sure
I'm not afraid anymore

Day after day we've been fixed in the bowl
For so long
For ages we're captured in shells
And crystallized walls
Predestined or punished?
By man or god?

I cannot, I will not
Deny it's false innocence
I cannot, I will not
The age of false innocence
Take it away from me

For a while
Astronomy has moved the earth
And we've turned around the sun
Sanctum officium
Has made me believe
Has made me believe
Has made me believe

"We know for sure you're lying
Would you like to mess with holy science
You know the fear of dying
Would it be worth it to hear you crying"
I've slaughtered truth
And I've shattered my heart

Far too long I have played with hellfire
And science has turned into madness
But I should have taken it higher
So I feel so I feel
Like Judas must have felt before
That Wednesday night near by the tree

Day after day we will gratefully suffer for more
Predestined's our part
So we Bleed in the name of god

Don't believe in their eternity
We're still held in blindness
And I've been turned into a liar
If there is no heaven
There won't be release

I cannot, I will not
Deny it's false innocence
I cannot, I will not
The age of false innocence
I cannot, I will not
Deny it's false innocence
I cannot, I will not
The age of false innocence
Take it away from me

Imaginations from the Other Side (Remastered 2007)

Where are these silent faces
I took them all
They all went away
Now you're alone
To turn out every light so deep in me
Hold on, too late

Will I ever see them back again
Or did they all die by my hand

Or were they killed
By the old evil ghost
Who had taken
The ocean
Of all my dreams
Which were worth to keep
Deep inside my heart
I wish I
Could get them back
From the everflow
Before they'll fade away
Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Out of the dark
Back to the light
Then I'll break down
The walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side

Where's the ocean's daughter
Was Peter Pan in Mordor
No one's there to keep alive
All these fairy tales
May I return to Oz
Will I meet the "Tin Man"
"Coward Lion" where are you
Without brain the scarecrow's lost
In the middle of the lake
Stranded in the real world
Left in the world
No place for daydreams
Serious life
I fall into
I fall into a dark hole
And I can't come out
Do you know if Merlin did exist
Or Frodo wore the ring
Did Corum kill the gods
Or where's the wonderland
Which young Alice had seen
Or was it just a dream
I knew the answers
Now they're lost for me

Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Out of the dark
Back to the light
Then I'll break down
The walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side

I hope there is a way back
With my talisman
So I look into myself
Into the days when I was just a child
Come follow me to wonderland
And see the tale that never ends
Don't fear the lion nor the witch
I can't come back
I'm lost but still I know
There is another world

Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Out of the dark
Back to the light
Then I'll break down
The walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side

Into the Storm (Remastered 2007)

Give it to me
I must have it
Precious treasure
I deserve it

Where can I run
How can I hide
The Silmarils
Gems of treelight
Their life belongs to me
Oh it's sweet how the
Darkness is floating around

We are following
The will of the one
Through the dark age
And into the storm
And we are following
The will of the one
Through the dark age
And into the storm
Lord I'm mean

Blackheart show me
What you hold in your hand
I still hunger for more
Release me
From my pain
Give it to me
How I need it
How I need it
How I need it

Where can I run
How can I hide
The Silmarils
Gems of treelight
Their life belongs to me
Oh it's sweet how the
Darkness is floating around

We are following
The will of the one
Through the dark age
And into the storm
And we are following
The will of the one
Through the dark age
And into the storm
Lord I'm mean

I did my part
Now it's your turn
And remember
What you've promised

Time What Is Time (Remastered 2007)

When the moonchild is crying
And silence has broken
The darkest truth
The things she remembered
Had never been her own
Replicant or human
I know the way to show
What do I see
What will I find
Know the answer inside
It's your last step
Time what is time
I wish I knew how to tell you why
It hurts to know
Aren't we machines
Time what is time
Unlock the door
And see the truth
Then time is time again
Whispering
These dreams were never mine
It's cold inside
It's gone forever
The things he saw
Who can say what's wrong or right
The vision of a free life
His eyes had seen it all
For what he's asking
The vision, vision, vision
I know it's all a lie
I'll remember his past life
And I'll remember time
What did I see
What have I done
God I knew the answers
When he felt so tired
Time what is time
Come lock the door don't let me in
I am the one your destiny
Time what is time
Reality - It hurts me so
When time is time again
Look into my eyes
Feel the fear just for a while
I'm a replicant and I love to live
Is it all over now
Only these years
I'll leave but I'm singing
Time what is time
He saw it clearly it's too late
It does not heal but it lets us forget
Time what is time
We'll never know
So don't take care
Then time is time again
Should I forget
The way I feel
God he knows how long I tried
Feel there is no reason to cry
I live my life
In fortune dreams forever

The Last Candle (Remastered 2007)

Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Have you forgotten him

Far from the land
Where the sun is born
down in the wood "Caladon"
Do you know the place
where the light is never seen
and all the hopes are turned
by the final cry
Turned to Stone
Turned to Stone
Turned to Stone
Turned to Stone
Whispering tunes in the wind
all hopes are gone with the night
when the old man will never come back
remember his words and his songs
And we see the raven's flying in the distance
but no wizard's singing his song
Somebodies out in the night
I fly in time
The last candle will burn
there's hope for everyone
when the last candle burns high
oh it's time for life

The elves and gnomes have to hide
when the moon is showing it's face
and raging orcs will set their traps
and the forest will burn
they hate green trees
and love the dark
they don't understand
that they're caught and left alone
they feel the magic in the wind
they're just fear the old man's song

Somebodies...
Corrupted old gnom
betrayer of all
you know so much about all
what is your price?

"Too much, too much
you cannot pay with your silver and your gold
there's just a little chance to save the wizard's life
there's just a little chance for all you fools
now pay"

And so I walk across the land
and hope to hear the wizard's song
Somebodies...
Somebodies out there
I feel there's somebody
Somebodies out there
I feel there's somebody

Spread Your Wings

Sammy was low,
Just watching the show,
Over and over again.
He knew it was time,
He'd made up his mind,
To leave his dead life behind.

His boss said to him
Boy, you'd better begin
To get those crazy notions
Right out of your head
Sammy who do you think that you are?
You should have been sweeping,
At the emerald bar.

Spread your wings and fly away,
Fly away, far away.
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away, far away.
Pull yourself together,
'cause you know you should do better,
That's because you're a free man.

He spends his evenings alone,
In his hotel room.
Keeping his thoughts to himself,
He'd be leaving soon.
Wishing he was miles and miles away,
Nothing in this world, nothing,
Would make him stay.

Since he was small,
Had no luck at all,
Nothing came easy to him.
Now it was time,
He'd made up his mind,
This could be my last change

His boss said to him
Now listen boy, you're always dreaming,
You got no real ambition,
You won't get worried for.
Sammy, boy don't you know who you are?
Why can't you be happy,
At the emerald bar?

spread you wings and fly away,
Fly away, far away.
Spread your little wings and fly away,
Fly away, far away.
Pull yourself together,
'Cause you know you should do better,
That's because your a free man.
Come on honey (fly with me)...

Welcome to Dying (Remastered 2007)

Close to insanity
Beyond the realms I've been
At darkest places
I'm crying
"The dragon flies"

Something savage
Is yearning for me
I'm waiting afraid for the night
What will be
I've lost myself
A few days ago
It's touching my soul
And a vision of past dreams comes true
Welcome to dying
I don't let it out
Welcome to dying
Look to the mirror it shows what I am
Welcome to dying
This town must burn now
Welcome to dying
Can't You see the dragon's seed bears in me

The one who's been before
Many times I terrorized this town
Many times and here I start again
Now I'm stronger and so cold
Cold as ice
Returning is my destiny
Now I feel it's growing up in me
Now I feel it's burning deep in me
I'm not what I was before
Could I stop this dream
I'm a stranger to myself
And I cannot control
Welcome to dying
I don't let it out
Welcome to dying
Look to the mirror it shows what I am
Welcome to dying
Can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me
Welcome to dying
The dragon's breath I don't let it out
I'm a savage
It's too late for me
The other side's taking control and I know
There's one way I can walk alone
Or the dragon will fly
And a growing fear's all that I feel
Welcome to dying
I don't let it out
Welcome to dying
Look to the mirror it shows what I am
Welcome to dying
Can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me
Welcome to dying
The dragon's breath I don't let it out
Welcome to dying
Welcome to dying
Welcome to dying
Welcome to dying
Welcome to dying
Welcome to dying
Can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me

Spread my wings and fly away
I spread my wings and fly away
I spread my wings and fly away

Run for the Night (Remastered 2017)

There comes the last part and end of our old age
With thunder and lightning the dark lord is taking
The crown of the whole world
His creature will kill me and poisons my soul
To the end I'll fight but I know that the things
That I do are so meaningless
Oh no

I see the hill but it's so far away
I know I can't reach it
But I try it again and again in my dark dreams
He's wasting my last will how long can I stay here
When the mightiest of all will now

Run for the Night burn away
The times of his fall I've to pay
Visions of darkness prepared for the last strike
And bloodlust their weapons and madness
You see their
Eyes there's no way out
I'm lost in a dark dream and losing control
To the end I'll fight but I know that the things
That I do are so meaningless - Oh no
I see the hill but it's so far away
I know I can't reach it
But try it again and again in my dark dreams
He's wasting my last will
How long can I stay here
When the mightiest of all will now

You see them running in the shadows of the night
It is not what it used to be
They've been scared and they've been anxiously tonight
You them running with the wind they
Run for the night
Run for the night
Run for the night

Blood Tears (Remastered 2007)

Welcome to my realm
We are both condemned to live
It's a dark fate
(I can hear your calls)
(I can hear your calls)
The eternal life
I see it still burns
Each night I cry in pain

Alive
Though the end appears my friend
And blood tears I cry
You've searched and you've found
Cut off your old friends hand

My mind's
In frozen dreams
The rotten flesh
Of bitter lies
Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one ever will

Can't hold it, It burns
Each night I cry in pain

And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside
And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside

It seems so clearly
Bent the bow
Cause life in me is gone

And a cruel wind's blowing cold (and a cruel wind's blowing cold)
In blame
(In blame)

And life it shall wane
Each night I cry in pain

And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside
And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside
And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside

Cut off your old friends hand

Bright Eyes.

Fool just another
Fool just another

I've been waiting
For signs of god
Create - enslave - behaved -
Everything is out of control

Leave me alone
Isolation bears hope
There's something else waiting
A promised destiny
Freezing me
I feel restless and low
These days full of sadness
Had joyfully changed
Into fear
My freakshow will start tonight
Don't miss the right time

Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
No Merlin is by my side

Everything is out of control
Everything is out of control
In my future plans
Everything is out of control
No one's left to hurt
Everything is out of control
Sorrow's gone away

Broken memories
Walking upstairs
Step by step
I see the whole world burning
The poet dies in Newerland
How it burns

Hey, mother stubborn
I really hate you
If you say yes I will say no
Ashes to ashes
But dust won't be dust
If you go there
I will go back

Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
Betrayed by sunrise
Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
No Merlin is by my side

Hey, father stubborn
You're yin
And I'm yang
I feel alone
Who really cares
Born into ashes
To lose all the games
With a smiling face

Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
And dark dragons rise
Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
No Merlin is by my side

So I sit still in my room, today
Winter's here
In summer season
Shall I say
I was wrong
If I'm right
Farewell to my last hope

Theatre of Pain (Remastered 2007)

The giant's lost
And all round him
Destructed for what
They all knew what it meant
But they couldn't change it
Lord they had gone too far
Leave them alone

It's all gone
What is left behind
On a desert we called earth
When the last whale went away
Did they ever see the tears

Don't fear Your last step
From the theatre of pain
And the children will love Your singing
From the sea
The sea is calling
Now we've to leave it

The sea was clear
On the day I was stranded
Answers I'd known
To keep this all alive
But I can't change it
Forever

Now I'm gone
And it seems that life had never existed
So we left the dark and cold
All I left behind are my tears

Don't fear Your last step
From the theatre of pain
And the children will love Your singing
From the sea
The sea is calling
I hear them calling

Lord of the Rings (Remastered 2007)

There are signs on the ring
Which make me feel so down
There's one to enslave all rings
To find them all in time
And drive them into darkness
Forever they'll be bound
Three for the Kings
Of the elves high in light
Nine to the mortal
Which cry

Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
And there's no way out
Mordor

Dark land under Sauron's spell
Threatened a long time
Threatened a long time
Seven rings to the gnomes
In their halls made of stone
Into the valley
I feel down
One ring for the dark lord's hand
Sitting on his throne
In the land so dark
Where I've to go

Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
Lord of the rings

Follow the Blind (Remastered 2017)

Follow the Blind
Your journey, your last hope, it can begin
These passing dreams
Were real no fantasy
There are more things than we know
Come take my hand

Searching for the talisman you'll find it
On another plane far from all time
Maybe you wonder while you see
The same faces

Everywhere
You can't find yourself in it
Cause you're a part

I'm another
Strange my feelings
Where am I here
For a short time
I remember I had been here

I'm alone, follow me!
Calling you, follow me!
I'm alone, follow me!
Follow me
Follow me it's my time
Follow me
Follow the Blind

Wandering around in my darkest dreams
Iron shadows are lurking at me
In this desert the tyrant's calling
On the run to save my Love
She's full of pain
The queen is lying far behind
In an endless dream

Before I thought I was dreaming
A strange voice whispers in my ears
You're the rat in the trap
Return, or pain will come to you

I'm alone, follow me !
Calling you, follow me !
I'm alone, follow me !
Follow me
Follow me it's my time
Follow me
Follow the Blind

I'm alone

No!

Wheel of Time (Orchestral Version)

Wheel of Time

Now there is no end
The wheel will turn, my friend

I'm in flames 'cause I have touched the light it pulls me so
We shall be one
Forevermore!
It's all I want, it's all I need
Everything is fixed
There's no chance, there's no choice

It's calling me Saidin
So precious and sweet
My mind keeps fading away

It's scratching deeper
My sole reliever
How can I find you now?

Passing through the flames, I
See how terror will rise
It soon will be over, O father of lies
Like foul winds at twilight
It's coming over me
What was and what will be? What is? I don't know

Driving me insane, just feel the heat
Madness creeps in, I'll tear it down

There's no end, wheel of time
It keeps on spinning
There's no beginning
Turn the wheel of time
There's no beginning
Just keep on spinning

Light it binds me
Light it blinds me
Light it finds me
Light denies me now

I creep along, so desperate and tired
Let me ask you why I am what I am
Prophecies I am the chosen
Ta'veren, the flame will grow and
Feel the heat, I'll keep on breathing
After all, there's no tomorrow

Wheel of time
Save my soul, find a way
And if I fail, will it all be over?
Oh, wheel of time

The vision, so fleeting and vague
Once again, I will bring down the mountain
One last glimpse, it is constantly slipping away

The young man said: "I will never give up"
The inner war, I can hold against it
My mind, my mind
My mind's in darkness

The young man says: "I will never give in"
The prophecies, behold it's true
I conquer the flame to release the insane, I'm crying
I cannot erase
I'm the dragon reborn
And in madness I soon shall prevail

Twice I'll be marked and
Twice I shall live
The heron sets my path and name me true
Twice I'll be marked and
Twice I shall die
My memory's gone, but twice I pay the price

Wheel of time
Save my soul, find a way
May it be as the Ta'veren's chosen
Oh, wheel of time

Turn the wheel of time
It keeps on spinning
There's no beginning
There's no end, wheel of time
There's no beginning
Just keep on spinning

Shine on
Embrace and deny me
Turn on, wheel of time
Shine on
You've burnt me, now guide me
Weave on, wheel of time

Traveler in Time (Remastered 2007)

The Morning Sun of Dune
The Morning Sun of Dune

The holy war's
Waiting for
The morning sun
The morning sun
The morning sun
The morning sun of Dune
There's no tomorrow
The apparition of this land and it's dream
Makes me feel I've seen it before
I can taste there's life
Everywhere you can find
In the desert of my life
I see it again and again

And again, again, again, again
Dark tales has brought the Jihad
Like whispering echos in the wind
And I'm a million miles from home

Traveler in Time
Knowing that there's no rhyme

The morning sun is near
First light of dawn is here
The morning sun is near again
The Fremen sing that
Their kingdom will come
And I'm the leading one
Battlefields on our crusade
Filled with Sardokaurs
Killing machines crying
In raising fear they're hiding
Where do we go now?
So where is the way?
When I'm a million miles from home

Traveler in Time
Knowing that there's no rhyme
The morning sun I feel
All pain and sorrow
The apparition of my words in these days
Makes me feel I've told them before
All my plans will come true
I'll control destiny
In the desert of my life
I've seen it again and again

By my dreams I must find a way
To stop the raging war
I've to choose now
I will leave
My body and seek
And time will stand still
When I've to leave
My body and find
A way back to the world I love
When I'm a million miles from home
Traveler in Time
Knowing that there's no rhyme

The Maiden and the Minstrel Knight (Remastered 2017)

The faithful crowd is gathered here
Soon they'll appear
The high and mighty show up
The king is in doubts
"Apart from this beggar here
There's no one like you my dear
Tasting my lips
No one but you and him"
Round the fire everyone should sing
And praise the gracious queen
Round the fire everyone should dance
And we praise the handsome knight
Forever and ever we both will be one
The maiden, the fair and the young fell in love

Will you still wait for me
Will you still cry for me
Come and take my hand
Will you still wait for me
Will you still cry for me
Come and take my hand

There's a moment in life
When all the years will pass by
And the eyes filled with tears
We once shed
We recognize failures
The desperate cries
Of the ones who believed in our lies

Wherever I'll go you'll be with me
My first though and my last though
We'll depart in bitterness
One day you'll understand
Carry on, beloved maiden, mine
Cary on or we have to pay the price

Will you still wait for me
Will you still cry for me
Come and take my hand
Will you still wait for me
Will you still cry for me
Come and take my hand

Yesterday's memories
And melodies
Are gone with the wind so sad
Snow-white her hands and golden her hair
But she's not the one out in the emptiness
Where everything's pale
There is no sign of you
I'm alone
How I wish you should be here
I'm alone
Telling me it's alright
Come rest your head
Come rest your head
Come rest your head
Come rest your head
I'm alone and sadness
Reigns in my heart
As long as we live
It won't go away
We are one
But torn apart

Will you still wait for me
Will you still cry for me
Come and take my hand
Will you still wait for me
Will you still cry for me
Come and take my hand

Proudly it stands
Until the worlds end
The victorious banner of love

The Wizard

He was the wizard of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him one night wandering
He told me tales and he drank my wine
Me and my magic man kinda feeling fine

He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire
And as he spoke I felt a deep desire
To free the world of its fear and pain
And help the people to feel free again

Why don't we listen to the voices in our hearts
Cause then I know we'll find we're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life the peace that love can bring

So spoke the Wizard in his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom means we'll never be alone
And now I will dream of my magic night
And the million silver stars that guide me with their light

Lost in the Twilight Hall (Remastered 2007)

Awaiting my last breath
The mirror calls my name
It's showing me the way
Into the dark
The bridge appears
I jump into the dark side
And hear the voice it's cold as ice
"Welcome to reality"
Where am I now?
Darkness surrounds
Can't go forward
Can't go back
I see planets dying
I fall into the light
A new universe awakes
I'm a Traveler in Time
Pray for the light
Where's the key
To the gate
Of a new life - no
I search for deliverance
But I cannot find

Look behind the mirror
I'm lost in the twilight hall
Once I'll be back for a moment in time
That's when the mirror's falling down

Take me away
From the place I've been
To another life
In another world
A sign of life
Surrounds me now
The bridge appears in the dark
I'm free
I fly alone
Leaving the darkness now, forever?
The memories of children
And the wisdom of many lives
Burns deep in me
Where will the light go to?
Where will the light go to?
Is this deliverance?
Is it the end?

I'm back there's a new chance for me
And all my memories are gone
I can feel what's happening to me
And the mirror will burst

War of the Thrones (Piano Version)

Nothing will grow here
Icy fields - blackened sorrow
Legacy of a lost mind
Feed my void
What you're waiting for

I'm too late
It is more than a game
The river reveals
Now I'm in between these lines
I cannot escape it seems
Sail on, my friend

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Walls they fall
When the march of the Others begins

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Rise and fall
When the War of the Thrones shall begin

While I sit there in silence
Come and talk to me
I can't free my mind
It is all I'm begging for

While I sit there in silence

Will it ever end?
Will I find what I'm longing for?
Will I ever walk out of shadows so grey?
I'm condemned, I am hallowed
Icy fields they won't hurt anymore

Will you walk with me?
Any further
There at world's end
It's me
I sing

I cannot escape it seems
Sadly I sing

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Walls they fall
When the march of the Others begins

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Rise and fall
When the War of the Thrones shall begin

Away
Watch the river it flows
Now and ever
I cannot believe in more
And now my time will come
Carry on

Will I ever learn from the past?
Will I fade away?
Will I ever stay where the shadows will grow?
There is luck at the gallows
I will free my mind
Soon it will show

Let it rain
There'll be no spring
My dream is a mirror
It reveals a matter of lies

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Rise and fall
When the War of the Thrones will begin

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Rise and fall
When the War of the Thrones has begun

Leave a fee for the tillerman
And the river behind

Tommyknockers (Remastered 2007)

She's opening her eyes
To find the thing
By a touch she's lost
It's waiting for her a long time
The kingdom's lost
Cause there's one nail missing
Playing with fire
Turn of the light
And she will fall down
Playing with her life
But she can't leave it
There's one rhyme in her brain

Oh, last night and the night before
Tommyknockers, tommyknockers
Knocked at your back door
Tommyknockers

The pain in my head
The cycle awakes
I'm on my way to Oz
I want to drink and she wants to dig
She's in trouble, oh I know
There's something going wrong
Tommyknockers on their way
What's up in Leighton Street?

Oh, last night and the night before
Tommyknockers, tommyknockers
Knocked at your back door
Oh, last night and the night before
Tommyknockers, tommyknockers
Knocked at your back door

I'm the hero, I'm back
With weapons and with magic spells
I'll saddle every task
An old, ill and drunken guy

The moon is full of blood
I've found her not, not far from home
I should better get away from here
She's on her way to be another one
Playing with fire
She can read my thoughts
It's too late
Playing with her life
Tommyknockers brought her trouble now

The ship in the earth I touch
A vibration is filling me
And music is in my head
Nose is bleeding and my fall down filled me up with pain
What's that cry?
You'll be like a tommyknocker
I will be like you
But there's something going wrong
I read it in your face

Oh, last night and the night before
Tommyknockers, tommyknockers
Knocked at your back door
Oh, last night and the night before
Tommyknockers, tommyknocers
Back at your back door
Tommyknockers knocked at your back door
Tommyknockers knocked at your back door

Destiny

I will return
I will be your destiny
I will weave your destiny
I will weave your destiny

It's not choice, nor is it chance
Fate's completely in my hands
I claim your love
Yet, thoughts conspire
My icicle reign
It soon covers all pain
As long as you are mine
Pray, breathe in my absolution
Take a look at yourself
Desperate cries
Don't mind her
Take a look at yourself
It's sliding away
No feelings
No desire
No depths of sorrow
Find cold relief
Thus, you've made a promise
Committed your soul
Here in the shadows of dead winter
The Ice Maiden's calling you
Frozen
Your heart is frozen
Frozen
This is your destiny
It draws, it grows, it lasts
That's when your frozen soul will rise
Your destiny
This is your destiny
My love is total
You must come
And you must find me
Now break the ice
But all the while
I weave your destiny

Breathe in
Don't fear its chill and
Let the cold winds in
Breathe in
The chasm's drawing
Embrace its mystery
Once you drown in water
You soon cross the border
No other way
Into my realm
The circle's complete
When you'll lie with me
You better admit
Commit yourself
That's how it's been
For you must surrender
Your ring it shall be

Leave the freezing cold terror of your world
Frozen
That's why you come to me boy
The Ice Maiden's harvest's ripe
Time to bow down
Then hand it to me
I shape your destiny
No lies, no fear, no loss
I'll let your frozen spirit shine

Your destiny
This is your destiny
My love's eternal
It's the creeping one
The one that can't be denied
I will be thine
Your Ice Maiden
Dressed in white

It's not as cruel as it may seem
The oath must be redeemed
Love is agony
My passion is freezing
We're melted together
You're mine
Forever we're one
Bonded for all time
'Cause you are my destiny
Destiny
Destiny

The deal is done
I've kissed you thrice
My chosen one
Now come and see
You are my destiny
Your bride, your wife, your death
Arise my chosen one, arise
Your destiny
This is your destiny
My love's immortal
You're most probably aware
By now it is time
You will be mine
I'm your maiden, hold me tight

It's irony
It's misery
The winter blossom cries
You're cold as ice
The widow sighs
Icy winds are howling
It's all gone
You don't give me chills
You don't make me feel
You don't make me see
You don't make me freeze
You don't set me free
