To Valhalla
05:34

Here I stand, alone again
Upon the battlefield
With sword in hand, I lay me down
My destiny awaits
The first to strike, the last to fall
My father would be proud
One last time I think of home
My legacy remains
When the time comes for me
I’ll be buried at sea
And a valkyrie will take me where I long to be
Carry me through the gates
Where my brothers await
In the halls of Valhalla we’ll celebrate
The drums of war are silent now
And snow begins to fall
I cannot move, I cannot feel
But I am not afraid
I’ll fight again by Odin’s side
Such is my destiny
My time has come, I close my eyes
And draw my final breath
When the time comes for me
I’ll be buried at sea
And a valkyrie will take me where I long to be
Carry me through the gates
Where my brothers await
In the halls of Valhalla we’ll celebrate

Escaping Reality
06:15
|
|
||
Here we are
Trapped within these concrete walls
Bound by the rules
We’re confined to this hell
Trapped in a maze of despair
Fighting for freedom
I’m breaking the chains
Spread your wings and fly away
No fear, we will never fall
As long as we keep our dreams alive
No pain, guided by the light
Ever shining within
Follow me; you’ll see an enchanted world
Where all dreams come true
For both me and you
Follow me; you’ll see an enchanted world
Where our souls are free
For eternity
My mind holds the key
Now we open the door
We’re escaping reality
No fear, we will never fall
As long as we keep our dreams alive
No pain, guided by the light
Ever shining within
Follow me; you’ll see an enchanted world
Where all dreams come true
For both me and you
Follow me; you’ll see an enchanted world
Where our souls are free
For eternity

War of the Worlds
04:11
|
|
||
A shadow appears up in the sky
And a beam of light
Shocks the ground
Cracks the street
The nightmare has begun
They watched us grow
Since the dawn of time
In secrecy
Now they’re here
The beasts appear
Survive or die
War of the worlds
It’s time to unite
Together we must stand and fight
War of the worlds
Hold your ground
There will come a time
When we stand side by side
War of the worlds
The nations of the earth must become one
Damnation or salvation?
End of days or a new chance for us all?
Unchain our hearts and let us be free
For this final war
Unchain our hearts, it’s time to see
Together we are strong
War of the worlds
It’s time to unite
Together we must stand and fight
War of the worlds
Hold your ground
There will come a time
When we stand side by side
War of the worlds

Revival
06:05

|

I’m lying down in my bed
And the pain is coming closer
I’m praying for my life in vain
I close my eyes and try to breathe
But my body won’t stop shaking
The world I know is falling apart
Fall over me
I am longing for you
Pour your love on me
And surround me with your presence
Come cover me
I am dying for you
Shine your light on me
Lead the way and I will follow
In a dream, I heard your voice
Filling me with words of power
I know now what I have to do
I’ll carry on, I’ll stand and fight
And I know you’ll stand beside me
I will not fail
Fall over me
I am longing for you
Pour your love on me
And surround me with your presence
Come cover me
I am dying for you
Shine your light on me
Lead the way and I will follow

Warriors of the Sun
04:39
|
|
||
A village plagued with anguish
Who would make the demons perish?
Far away, they began to march
Warriors of the sun
When the veil of sorrow falls
And darkness devours hope
Seven warriors of the sun
Will bring the fire home
With steel held up high
Hunger ruled their minds
No one to hear their cry
Far away, they began to march
Warriors of the sun
When the veil of sorrow falls
And darkness devours hope
Seven warriors of the sun
Will bring the fire home
With steel held up high

Tragicomedy
05:01
|
|
||
Oh, when the curtains rise
You cannot hide nor flee
You are trapped here like the rest
Inside this tragicomedy
Eternally damned
The world is a stage and we are but actors
Playing our parts
Seven the acts; the ages of man
So it shall be
And so we dance and sing
In the theatre of life
But if you’re out of tune
You’ll never be a star
We live and we die, we laugh and we cry
A wonderful show
How did it begin? How will it end?
No one knows
And so we dance and sing
In the theatre of life
But if you’re out of tune
You’ll never be a star
Oh, when the curtains rise
You cannot hide nor flee
You are trapped here like the rest
Inside this tragicomedy
Eternally damned
When the time has come for the final act
Will you go offstage and face the lights?
And so we dance and sing
In the theatre of life
But if you’re out of tune
You’ll never be a star
Oh, when the curtains rise
You cannot hide nor flee
You are trapped here like the rest
Inside this tragicomedy
Eternally damned

Centre of my Life
05:38
|
|
||
Dark drops of sorrow will fall again tomorrow
Staining my soul and corrupting my mind
I’ve fallen from heaven, my wings turned to ash
Forsaken and broken I cry out your name
I followed your orders; I did it all right
So why must I suffer? I don’t understand
If this is a lesson then what’s there to learn?
I don’t see a reason for this act of evil
Demons are dancing around me at night
They bind me in chains made of fire
Darkness is forcing its way to my heart
Hear me cry out; I won’t make it alone
Take my hand and tell me of light
Use your power to heal and restore me
Save my soul from evil and hate
Come and be the centre of my life
My vision is clouded by tears in my eyes
Lost in a nightmare I stumble and fall
I don’t know if I have the strength to go on
Have you no compassion for this broken spirit?
Demons are dancing around me at night
They bind me in chains made of fire
Darkness is forcing its way to my heart
Hear me cry out; I won’t make it alone
Take my hand and tell me of light
Use your power to heal and restore me
Save my soul from evil and hate
Come and be the centre of my life

Kings and Queens
06:04
|
|
||
I was born to be king
My kingdom was small but it was mine
Then they took it all away
My crown, my innocence, my life and my dreams
Enslaved and crushed beneath their feet
Forced to labour in their filth
Mass confusion, manipulation, devastation, wars
Insatiable, they always crave for more
Broken, defeated and cold
They have always had their way
I won’t become what they are
I will rise as king again
Look inside your heart and see
You’ll find the answer there within
You have the power to be free
Show the world what you’re meant to be
The truth is there for all to see
It’s in you, it’s inside me
Rise all you kings and queens
Reclaim your place in history
Look inside your heart and see
You’ll find the answer there within
You have the power to be free
Show the world what you’re meant to be

Lost Between Dimensions
10:02
|
|

I cannot shake the feeling that none of this is real
Is this some kind of dream?
I cannot focus; my mind is a blur
Drifting away
Floating, falling into space
Soaring, spinning far away
My heart is racing as the world begins to crack
Bleeding colours that I’ve never seen
Another time, another space outside our own
Which one is real?
Floating, falling into space
Soaring, spinning far away
Or am I going insane?
Lost between dimensions
So confusing
I am dreaming
This is an illusion
Wake me up to a world I know
This world seems so very real
Has my whole life just been a lie?
Is it real or is it fake?
Just a simulation
Fact or fiction?
Am I dreaming?
I can’t trust my senses
I am lost between dimensions
A world of steel
And twisted pathways
No signs of life
Am I alone?
I hear the buzzing
Of strange machines
Cables and wires
Hooked into me
A glowing screen
Prints out my name
Then in a bold font
[SIMULATION FAILED]
I do remember
A place like this
I used to live here
Floating in space
I could not bear the fact that I’m the last survivor
Of the great human race
I wrote a program to help me endure
As I slowly drift away into oblivion
Suddenly a thought struck my mind
Could this be another lie?
Maybe somewhere someone like me
Softly lies dreaming vividly
Maybe this fantasy
Is just a tiny piece
Of something huge; a multiverse
I want to know for sure
Yet I’m afraid to go
What if it ends in eigengrau?
Every story has an end
Does it really matter?
Life is fading
Am I dreaming?
I can’t trust my senses
I am lost between dimensions
[SIMULATION FAILED]
