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
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
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
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
