Of Sins and Shadows 

music: Romeo, Pinnella
Lyrics: Miller
 
 
Passing through the void
The darkest grand illusion
Chaos is riding on the wind

Destroyed in agony
They create a maddened lair
Summon all to heed their cry

Innocence fading away
- the dying eyes of the prey

|chorus|
Desperate cries, hail of fire
deciding
All our fate in the night
Tempt in sin,
shadows then begin to
Gather the souls they hold within

Victims of desire
Pestilence of their invasion
Forms then take on evil waves

Paralyze, victimize
The shadows fall and enter fast
from the sky - (from the sky)
Summon all to heed their cry

Innocence fading awway
- the dying eyes of the prey
 |chorus|
Desperate cries,
hail of fire deciding
All our fate in the night
Tempt in sin,
shadows then begin to
Gather the souls they hold within

I've betrayed - slowly fade
I repent my inner plea
I've denied - sanctified
Cannot hide from this
monstrosity

I'm immersed in a curse
Of this jaded imagery
Realize that your cries
Only jeopardize this legacy

|solo|

|chorus|
Desperate cries,
hail of fire deciding
All our fate in the night
Tempt in sin,
shadows then begin to
Gather the souls they hold within

|chorus|
Desperate cries,
hail of fire deciding
All our fate in the night
Tempt in sin,
shadows then begin to
Gather the souls they hold within
 

 
SEA OF LIES 

music: Romeo, Pinnella, Miller
lyrics: Allen
 
 
Today I've seen the shallow face I
wear
inside this shell,
a living hell endures
I'm held captive by my fear,
decaying hope and wasted years
The knife of time carves another
line around these eyes

Good and evil - lust primeval
Dragging me into a sea of lies

Losing faith in who I am
Never changing just rearranging
my life again
Through into an eternal abyss I
fall,
Silent screams through paper
walls
I pray someday the sun will shine
on me again
(shine on me again)

Good and evil - lust primeval
Dragging me into a sea of lies

Lies...lies...

|solo|

Lies...lies...
 
 
OUT OF THE ASHES 

music: Romeo, Pinnella, Miller
lyrics: Allen
 
 
In the house of my master
Beyond the chains there is a bed
of snakes where evil lays
Oh, I hear laughter
I forged the iron bars that
someday will imprison me

Ooh, mother will you help me
Mother will you help me
To find a reason to go on

|chorus|
Out of the ashes of my youth
- I rise a man
And through the eyes of truth
- I finally understand
The way

I've been beaten with his words
and whipped with his lies
He will not break me down no
master how hard he tries
Pray for my lost soul
Out of control the storm inside
me rages on and on and on

Mother will you help me
Mother will you help me
To find a reason to go on
 

 |chorus|
Out of the ashes of my youth
- I rise a man
And through the eyes of truth
- I finally understand

|solo|

|chorus|
Out of the ashes of my youth
- I rise a man
And through the eyes of truth
- I finally understand
The way

|chorus|
Out of the ashes of my youth
- I rise a man
And through the eyes of truth
- I finally understand
The way

 
 
THE ACCOLADE 

music: Romeo, Pinnella, Miller
lyrics: Allen
 
 
Into the morning sun
Down his chosen road he rides to
save the world
Cross of crimson, robe of white
Sworn to the quest for the rest of
his life

Play shields and wooden swords
Slaying dragons as a knight of
Arthur's Court
 

Trained to kill, to sing a song
Youthful hope to right the wrong

Sons of Antioch
An angel's voice cries out to him
Free the holy lands,
bring peace to it again

|chorus|
Across the seas through sands of
time
Knight of the Templer
A charging steed through lands
unkind
A legend forever

A heart of gold pumps within his
metal skin
A noble line he carries on

|solo|

Braving the bloody din
Silver spurs are justly earned by
strength within
Squire to knight,
like prince to king
Chalice of life completes the ring
 Into the morning sun
Down his chosen road he rides to
save the world

|chorus|
Across the seas through sands of
time
Knight of the Templer
A charging steed through lands
unkind
A legend forever

|chorus|
Across the seas through sands of
time
Knight of the Templer
A charging steed through lands
unkind
A legend forever

To see the light to spent his life
to understand
The sword he once held tight,
falls forever from his hands

|chorus|
Across the seas through sands of
time
Knight of the Templer
A charging steed through lands
unkind - a legend forever...

|chorus|
Across the seas through sands of
time
Knight of the Templer
A charging steed through lands
unkind
A legend forever
 
PHARAOH 

music: Symphony X
lyrics: Allen
 
 
Ancient lands, lost in time
Storms of sand, walls of time
Surround this mask of death I
wear

Awakened by intruder souls
The jackal screams as my stone
gods behold
Desecraters of Ra

|chorus|
Pharaoh's curse upon you
Who dares to invade his sacred
ground
Gods of the Nile arise to strike
you down

Forgotten days of my rule, cities
blazed with gold and jewel
Diamond symbol of riches
beyond compare

Now I lay cold in this chamber of
stone
Fools forsaken the wrath of my throne
Desecraters of Ra

|chorus|
Pharaoh's curse upon you
Who dares to invade his sacred
ground Gods of the Nile arise to strike
you down

Mystic gods of the stars
- I summon thee from afar
Sun, moon and earth
- align for my rebirth

I feel the blood flow through my
veins
The life force shines on me again
Let the ritual begin
- you will pay for your sins

I am god, I am king of the land
The hour of judgement is at hand
Winds of revenge sweep through
the sand
The mighty pharaoh lives again

|solo|

|chorus|
Pharaoh's curse upon you
Who dares to invade his sacred
ground
Gods of the Nile arise to strike
you down

Pharaoh's curse upon you
Who dares to invade his sacred
ground
Gods of the Nile arise to strike
you down
 
THE EYES OF MEDUSA 

music: Romeo, Pinnella, Miller
lyrics: Miller

Can you look into my eyes
Tell me, now do you somehow
still recognize this stare I wear
Through crystal tears

The light escapes my smile
There is no likeness to be seen,
it is so strange to me

Awaken vindication
The mirrors curse - it besets me

|chorus|
Endless, timeless, faceless terror
To the isle of deadly shores
Sightless, countless, ageless
torture
To behold the sight of Medusa's
eyes

Under a spell - I'm enchanted
The hand of fate is never late to
ring the time
I'm forced to climb the walls

A voice bids last farewell
With no beginning or on end to
be found by me |chorus|
Endless, timeless, faceless terror
To the isle of deadly shores
 

Sightless, countless, ageless
torture
To behold the sight of Medusa's
eyes

|solo|
Instrumental (The Isle of Deadly
Shores)

|chorus|
Endless, timeless, faceless terror
To the isle of deadly shores
Sightless, countless, ageless
torture
To behold the sight of Medusa's
eyes
 
 

THE WITCHING HOUR
music: Romeo, Pinnella
lyrics: Allen, Romeo
 
 
T' was seven score and sixteen
more
A dreadful scene to behold
Marble silhouettes, white
statuettes
Forever gaze into time
(Caught in a web between life and
death)

|chorus|
Visions dance throughout the
night
In the pale moon light

In the witching hour

Haunting minuet, immortal duet
Dance to the waltz of the souls
Stillness falls upon the aging hall
The fading chimes echo midnight
(Caught in a web between life and
death, life and death)
 |chorus|
Visions dance throughout the
night
In the pale moon light
In the witching hour

|solo|

|chorus|
Visions dance throughout the
night
In the pale moon light
In the witching hour

|chorus|
Visions dance throughout the
night
In the pale moon light
In the witching hour

 
 
CANDLELIGHT FANTASIA 

music: Romeo, Pinnell
lyrics: Miller
 
 
Just one more night
One more score
Another question in my mind,
can't take no more

Kissing the tears from my face as
they fall
To the ground in silence

In the twilight and faded time
Spirits cold, with no love
Bells ring a lonely chime
Candle fires
There lit dreams can't burn alone

Winds of change bring songs
upon my memory
An empty heart and soul
intoxicates me
This darkened page orchestrates
my final destiny
Not knowing what,
what tomorrow will bring

|chorus|
From within the mirrors eyes
I'm forced to run away and hide
I feel those mystic eyes subside
And leave me blind
Through passages in time
A prisoner locked behind the
door
Lonely roses slowly wither and
die

I can't escape this captive misery
Heart stone cold, under
supremacy
Thrown into a raging sea of
tyranny
 Lifes vile walls have tangled me
in threads
Eternally caught in my futures
threads

Play the violent strings of my
symphony

|solo|

Transcend the absence of this
fantasy
Just another vision
Washed away with the tide
No place for forgotten ones
I cannot deny
What lies beyond, beyond this
fantasy

|chorus|
From within the mirrors eyes
I'm forced to run away and hide
I feel those mystic eyes subside
And leave me blind
Through passages in time
A prisoner locked behind the
door
Lonely roses slowly wither and
die

|chorus|
From within the mirrors eyes
I'm forced to run away and hide
I feel those mystic eyes subside
And leave me blind
Through passages in time
A prisoner locked behind the
door
Lonely roses slowly wither and
die
