1. WHISPERED DREAMS

Morning has broken;
you stare at the clouds from your windowpane
Voices that fade in the mist,
you try to call out in vain
Lost in the shadows

Whilst standing at the crossroads heavily burdened
Came forth a vision with a message so clear

[Chorus]:
You can borrow beg or steal, but...
If you care to make a deal
Listen to the devil's trill
I'll play for your sole delight

Now come and take my hand
Until you meet your end
I swear to be your servant

Fire, fire, I'll be waiting by your funeral pyre
Fire down below. Burn in,
Fire, fire, I'll grant you what your heart desires
Rest and be assured,
I will!

Young heart of gold you've been warned,
you've been told not to call his name
Stuck in this place for so long,
enthralled by a fake romance
Lost for a lifetime

There's no way out of here you're caught in a landslide
The hall of whispered dreams where heretics dance

[Chorus]

Silent cursed and alone you dwell
Rebuked for a thousand years
Ending your life in tears
Vanquished by all your fears
Cast out of Eden's garden
And robbed of all pardon!

You can borrow beg or steal, but...
If you care to make a deal
Listen to the devil's trill
And walk with me once more.

[Chorus]

Waiting by your funeral pyre
Burning flames to fuel the fire



2. HIGHWAY TO NOWHERE

New flesh arise, so synchronised
Their bodies spasm to the score
Evangelise their weakened minds
I leave them hungry for more...

I medicate, obliterate
And leave you drowning in my wake
Your last mistake, you can't escape
My stranglehold on you

[Chorus]:
Wasted dreams
Stigmata burning me
Bleeding hearts just don't beat
The Madness
Screaming with laughter
On Highways to Nowhere

Desensitised and ostracised
The hunted stalking the hunter
I paralyse, I neutralise
You'll wear a new Mark of Cain

Eradicate the human trait
That separates the Simian
I'll desecrate, eliminate
The good that's left in you

[Chorus]

Young and free
The crowd is your natural enemy
So keen to stamp your identity
An individual heresy
You're nothing out of the ordinary
Just like me....

No strength survives this genocide
Of mind and muscle in decay
Self satisfied and pacified
You watch your life slip away

You mutilate, self flagellate
A standard bearer for the plague
A life undone, somebody's son
Blue-black insanity

[Chorus]


3. BETTER ANGELS

Dawning spring when vows were spoken
Summer flames are not meant to last that long
When daylight fades away,
make your mind up leave or stay
The door's tow open

Autumn paints the skies of twilight
Winter nights hide everything under snow
Receding in the cold,
dreams that can be bought or sold
With faithless tokens

[Chorus]:
And when the sun goes down
I still hear you call my name
Among these shattered bonds
It's too late to make amends
You forsake your better angels on the battlefield
Only broken hearts are real

Cloaked in mist you hide your daggers
Passed the hours from morning 'til midnight tolled
Whilst faithful by my post,
I can hear the mournful ghosts
Of swains departed

Can we bridge the distance between us,
if you spend your nights on the run?
By the river wraithlike whispers make me shiver
When you trample logic and reason,
treason can be seen from afar
Monster, sneerer, creeping, crawling, coming nearer

[Chorus]

Angels on the battlefield
Only broken hearts are real...

I turn my head and see you slipping away

[Chorus]

I'll pay the ferryman so you cross the Acheron,
You call my name; echoes of the past still remain
You forsake your better angels on the battlefield
Only broken hearts are real


4. ROSE IN BLOOM

Ooh baby don't you cry
I know you're lying
Ooh I can see it in your eyes
Though you keep on denying
Did you really think that I would be the one
That waits by your door
My heart's back on the road
Our memories will...

Fade away
Just drift away
Until they're sealed in time
and locked from view
A fragment of both me and you
You keep on banging on the wall
You're not getting through

Ooh pictures on a wall
of sunshine embraces
Ooh cause you thought you had it all
Now it's all lost & wasted
No one hears you when you cry
alone at night
You're down on your own
The dawn's a lonely friend
And loneliness won't...

Fade away
Drift away
Until it's sealed in time
and locked from view
A whisper of both me and you
You keep on banging on the wall
You're not getting through
Can't fight this emptiness
Broken in two
Don't throw your heart in vain
Baby...

[Chorus]:
Once our love was like a rose in bloom
Rose in bloom
Now it's lust a lost horizon
Pale like a winter moon
And all the dead flowers
that adorn your room
Broken dreams and lost horizons
I'm telling you

[Chorus]

Lovers fade away like shadows
They turn into fleeting shadows of the past

Ooh pictures on a wall...


5. HEART OF THE SUN

Come sell your soul
Chase the crested wave
Brave the siren's call

Beyond all control
With no kings and no crosses
Atrocities out of sight
Sail at first light

Stand and fight
Rip through the night
Come and join me
You wont believe your eyes

[Chorus]:
Princes of Freedom
Blaze into Oblivion
Eyes Gleaming
The Sons of Perdition
Killed the Dream of Eden
Stained Crimson
They'll never stop Me now
We're the Wrath of God

So come take my hand
As we trample down these virgin sands

Cursed to a man
God will drown in this jungle
Away from the promised land
High command

Treasure bleeds from the Heart of the Sun
We will win, we are strong, we're young Arcadians
They will greet us as Gods, yeah

Seven seas couldn't keep us away
Victory by the break of the day
We'll save our souls
And burn them at the stake

[Chorus]

Please don't treat me like a renegade
Don't put out my eyes
Don't take the sun away
As I take my first steps
Over the edge of the world
I tell you

My name is written in eternity
This isn't the last you're gonna see of me
I don't want no last chance
Bring it on, I'll advance and taste my freedom
Freedom!

[Chorus]

7. FIERCE BATALLIONS

Take me to the place
where the fires are burning
Ere you stood your ground,
now your fates are turning

We make our enemies cower
A hungry lion that feasts on blood of men
We crush your pride and your power -
Taunting the heavens,
your destined end awaits

Fall with all our might upon the thickest of the fight

Don't run in fear now
Come try my spear now
I'll leave your flesh and your bones
for the vultures, yeah
With dark wings coming
to devour their pray

My thundering cry brings men to their knees
Like furious storms that lash at the seas

Take me to the place
where the fires are burning...

Take me to the place
where the fires are burning
Ere you stood your ground,
now your fates are turning

Our ranks are braking battalions
Furious onset that withers lives of men
Don't turn your back like a coward
The earth shall drink all the blood you spill today

Through the sun-starved night,
until the morrow brings the light
Saffron-clad at dawn; Aurora.

Lying dead for all your sorrows
Shattered shield and bones

Fire, fire, fire, fire!

Fire on your high walls
Burning down your towers
Ravaging your white halls
Offerings to Ares

Raven of destruction
Perched up on your towers
Taming down your warlust
Slay or be slain
Only death shall remain!


8. SONS OF LIBERTY

Silence can't save skin and bone
Face down the diamonds of crushed glass on stone
Sound the warning, hear the marching feet
Running out of the shadows, they're back on the streets

[Chorus]:
The Endless slaves of tyranny
In flames you'll fall
Give my blood for liberty
For one and all

Chanting of the same old song
Just taunts the memories, of the fallen ones,
And when we meet them on the barricades,
We'll get straight to the point at the edge of a blade

[Chorus]

No tears if we fall by the wayside
No tears if we fall on our swords
Every nation gathered around us

Trust our fury

And we'll rise up tomorrow
It's time to cross the line

There's no retreat
We'll take the streets
We'll never stop
Until we beat

[Chorus]

Trust our fury


9. CHASING THE NIGHT

No one looks twice at the runt of the litter
An evil cradling, a saviour embittered

The dark is stealing the light
Fear let you in but your secret's not for sale
Madman chasing the night
Dead souls give birth to a world beyond the pale

The fools entrusted the keys to the kingdom
Blind men who planted the seeds of destruction

Standing alone and you're caught in my dream
Sleeping at night and I can't hear you scream
Sacrifice you and I'd sacrifice me
You're a drop in the ocean of my vanity

You scarred us all
But then you rose without a trace

[Chorus]:
The dark is stealing the light
Fear let you In but your secret's not for sale
Madman chasing the night
Dead souls give birth to a world beyond the pale

You had it planned
Planned from the start
You took a chance
And burnt your heart away
A million men
Just couldn't stop
The chosen one
Who lives to be obeyed

Another lie
Deceives the eye
But two wrongs can't make a right
A blackened heart
Too late to hide
The loneliness inside...

And if you want it
I know you're gonna take it
Ride the road to ruin
Greed is your salvation
Stop it!

Are words you can't conceive of
Ends defy the means
We're marching to damnation
Suffer!

The ones that you ignored
The ones without a hope
The child without a future
Nothing!
Can satisfy the hunger
That destroys the peace for paranoia

In faraway places, hidden from sight
A burning ambition snuffs out a life

A smiling face masks the stench of corruption
A rejects dream brings a world to extinction

Standing alone and you're caught in my dream
Sleeping at night and I can't hear you scream
Sacrifice you and I'd sacrifice me
You're a drop in the ocean of my vanity

[Chorus]


10. FALLING STAR

Like a light, that fades
Receding down a highway
Like the last flicker in an old man's eyes
It's the cold touch
Of Winter on your shoulder
You've gone too far

From the start

When the Sunset
Broke your heart into a diamond
And to sleep meant a dream of endless skies
In the white heat
Of pride that drove you further
You ride on through
Midnight will find you

[Chorus]:
Sending out a signal
It's on the air tonight
A scream becomes a whisper
You're welcoming the night
Close the door behind you
You're never looking back

Cause you're far away like a falling star baby
Far away, but you're burning in my heart

Steal a breath, take a care
Cause the men don't like a drifter
They wanna close your eyes
And shut your Dreamtime down
Every map has an end
That hides a new horizon
You saw that too
You went the distance

[Chorus]

For so long
You left your sorrows behind you
For so long
You wove your secrets around you
You're gone
You left when I found you
Far away like a falling star baby
Far away like a falling star baby

[Chorus]

Cause you're far away like a falling star baby
Far away but you're burning bright
Far away like a falling star baby
Far away but you're burning in my heart

Don't ever look behind you,
You're flying free
You're never looking back...
