1. Journey Through The Stars

Close your eyes and lead yourself to oblivion dimension quest
Crawling in the night like a creature looking for its prey
Lightning and thunder, with your hands you can command
And raise the water from the sea like waves on the sand

Like an angel you'll fly
Fly in circles above the sun
You are lost in a journey through the stars

Roundtables of saints and sinners, dreamers fighting misbelievers
Stand above the threshold of the broken line of faith
Flying with an angel of temptation with a stranger
Scream for joy or scream for pain if you'll learn to rule the night

I have got a question for your sinner and your servants
If you'll let me live forever will I say goodbye to light?
Wake up in a cold wet light, count the planets in the sky
Swallowed by the ocean and surrounded by the sea

Something falls apart, something makes you old
Someone that you meet is beyond your control
Nightmares come again, endowment of my life
Golden glimpse become so real
In your journey through the stars

2. The Lone

In the dead of the darkest night
A single spark comes alive
In the lost woods of the north
A lonely by swears he won't die

Stripped of all his valiant friends
Left as dead in a raging storm
He looks upon the bloodshed stones
And runs away from his only home

I will not die – I swear revenge!
My past is dead, my brothers are all gone
I will not die – I swear revenge!
Kai blood lives in me, you will fear my name

The enemy in west has gone too far
The children of the night destroyed my life
But no, my burning heart will not give in
The silent has become...

He runs and rides for a hundred miles
He risks his life a thousand times
He sees the power of the evil's touch
And walks fearless in his wicked clutch

Away from Holmgard, through the wastes
Over the hills and the endless sea
Towards the city of the mountain white
Hammerdal, where salvation lies

I did not die – I have my revenge
Like red autumn leaves you are falling at my feet
I did not die – I have my revenge
Sommerswerd in my hand, I will bring the light!

3. Choose The Truth

Have you ever felt the fire
Burn away the world?
Making heroes out of men
Forging the souls

Have you ever felt the need
To go down deeper?
Striving for the one and only truth

Hear the wake-up call
Blow away the smoke
Hear the bell that tolls
Clear the way ahead
Stop the trembling of your hands
Arise and thrive!

I don't want to hear pathetic lies
About the fears you can't shake off!
I don't want to see you run and hide
From delusions that bind you!

Did you ever see the light
Shining in the eyes?
Raising spirits to the skies
Never faltering

Have you ever felt the need
To fly out of the maze?
To find out what's really going on?

4. The Pain Of Sight

Forgive for I cannot hide the truth
Sometimes I lose control of my eyes
I see dead people, I hear dead stories
Sometimes I lose control of my life

Dead people tell dead stories
Worn out faces gazing at me
Blind people lead blind lives
Led by their pulses, thinking they're wise
I see the hands weaving the threads
I hear the truths you borrow
Feel the tears coming out from your eyes
Leaving a trail of sorrow

I can't be silent no more
I have to tell what I see

All of your hopes turning to ashes
You make your life a graveyard of dreams
I see your faces turning around
Trying to ignore the screams

Come see with my eyes
And try if you can understand
Take a look at the world I see
Find why it's slowly making me blind

I see the truth but it's worse than it seems
As those around me wear only lies
Feelings of guilt are buried deep beneath the skin
I'm taking part in this blind, wicked game
As I am feeding all of your lies
Feelings of guilt are buried deep beneath the skin

It's hard to find
Someone who is brave enough to realize
You need guts
To face the facts and break free
Of your fool's paradise

5. Sheer Hate

You took me out of the mist I was in
You gave my life a new meaning
You tried to unveil a new world to me
Still I was blind to it all

Like a mouse in a cage
Aimlessly running on a wheel
I was a puppet, a slave
Ready to fulfill your will

Stay with me, I need a helping hand
Believe in me, I will understand
If as you say there's something to learn
In this world, stay with me!

Then you went away, tired of my failures
You told me you just didn't care
You pushed me back in the mist I was in
Leaving me blind to it all

Empty of all but my rage,
(I'm) Back to the ruins of my life
And after eons of pain
I have become my own guide

Leave me be, now I won't believe you
Now I see, there's nothing to believe in
All we can do is try to live on
In this hell, so leave me be!

Empty of all but sheer hate
I know I'm alone on my way
There are no gods and no fate
And we are the ones to blame

Leave me be, alone with my doubts
I can't see, I've torn out my eyes
All we can do is try to live on
In this hell, so leave me be!

6. Back To My Dreams

How come nothing more
Moves me to tears?
All the colours of a reckless heart
Fade into shades of fear
Heroes rise, our hopes with them
But swiftly they disappear

This world is no more a place that I call home
I made my choice
I shun the wretched struggles of the flesh
I have my voice

Go back to my dreams where heroes live again
Go back to my dreams and fly
I feel so strong, nothing can stop me there
Go back to my dream and fly

I spread my wings and touch the sky
I never felt so alive
Eyes are bright here, hearts are true
All of my feelings thrive

This world is truly the place that I call home
I made my choice
Believe in my words you can make it too
Follow my voice

I'm here in my dreams where heroes live again
I'm here my dreams and I fly
I feel so strong, nothing can stop me here
I'm in my dreams and I fly

7. Step Aside

I'm sick and tired of hearing all your lies
You turn our dream into a war
You keep thinking that you're all cool guys
Shut your mouth, don't tell me more

Step aside
You can't stop us, we are strong
It's all in vain

You burn us down with your shiny words
Can't you see that you're so small?
We leave you scavenge all the garbage cans
While we fly above you all

Step aside
You can't stop us, we are strong
It's all in vain
We rule the ride
You will never choke our song
We fear no chain

I've seen and I've heard enough of you
Why don't you take a breath?
Why do you need me to define yourself?
Shut the fuck up!

8. Closure

I gave you all the love I had
I've gone through all the pain I could
Still, you made it clear, you needed more

There was a time when you were still here,
There was a time when the wound still bled
Now the wind has blown the ashes away

I have no more prayers for you
All I have is scars and memories

I had to learn that all dreams can die
You made me see the most cruel of lies
Hidden behind the kindness of your eyes

So many nights I spent cursing you
So many days are gone in grim remorse
Now all the poison flowed away from my heart

Now I'm older, now I'm wiser
Now I'm the man that you wanted me to become
Now that you're out of my life

No more love
No more pain
No more joy
No more sorrow

Now I'm older, now I'm wiser
Now I know it's all said and done
So finally I can say goodbye

9. Word To The Wise

Deep in the shade of your hidden dreams
Blazing eyes stare with ruthless will
Beneath the skin of your wavering hands
A stronger fist stands still

Under the chains, heavy on your back
A biting beast waits for your call
Why do you follow the sightless?
Why do you join them in their fall?

Because they told you to be afraid,
Not to play with the fire
But a soul without a scar
Is a soul with no desire

Whenever life seems to treat you wrong
Don't be afraid to pull out the claws
Don't look for safety in ignorance
Don't choke the fire that sings inside

It is not easy, it's an endless fight
But it gives a life a whole new meaning
Makes every moment worth to be lived
And all the doubts fade away...

Still we go on, never to fall
Still aiming higher we are standing tall
Shake off your fears, break all the chains
Unveil the courage to challenge the truth

10. Hallowed Be Thy Name

оригинал: Iron Maiden

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low

When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me

Can it be there's some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream

Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not so easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak

Tears they flow but why am I crying
After all I am not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there is never an end

As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Somebody calls from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why has he let me go?

As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away

Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth

When you know that your time is close at hand
maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion
