1. Reaper
Darkness coming
I'm the one who settles scores
When affairs have gone astray
You struck a deal with the devil and
Now, you must pay
Ignorance is no excuse and you will
Not get away
When you're asleep at night
I'll bring you to the light... of death!
You must have realised just who
I am
Running, screaming
You still think you stand a chance
Well, you'd better think again
'Cause by this time on the morrow
You will be slain
In a desperate move, you will dig
You'll dig your own grave
You'll think you're safe and sound
Buried beneath the ground...
But no!
'Cause there's no way you ever will
escape...
...The Reaper
When you're asleep at night
I'll bring you to the light... of death!
By now, you know exactly who
I am:
The Reaper
2. Wrath Of The Emerald Witch
She is a wicked woman
She is the devil's child
She is the evil omen
That will twist and turn your mind
Wherever she may wander
There will be plague and death
She tears the world asunder
Like infernal dragon's breath
And if you cross her path when she is on her spree
She'll make you suffer for all eternity
There's no escape, you'll never live to tell the tale
Oh, vicious beast – May she burn in hell
Run for your life when the Emerald Witch is on the move
Don't stand and fight if you do not wish to meet your doom
She's come to kill
Enforce her will
Wrath of the Emerald Witch comes hard as steel
If that won't make you shiver
Then you are most unwise
She is a great deceiver
With a rather nasty bite
Her teeth will crush and grind you
Her tongue is razor sharp
She'll sneak up from behind you
Piercing your unwary heart
Oh, you believe that you'll get out of here alive
But she will get you – no matter where you hide
So watch your back, or you will get what you deserve
Make no mistake – She will make you burn
Run for your life when the Emerald Witch is on the move
Don't stand and fight if you do not wish to meet your doom
She's come to kill
Enforce her will
Wrath of the Emerald Witch comes hard as steel
Run for your life when the Emerald Witch is on the move
Don't stand and fight if you do not wish to meet your doom
She's come to kill
Enforce her will
Wrath of the Emerald Witch comes hard as steel
3. Khubilai Khan
Would you believe that a man could be
as great as Kubilai Khan
who ruled and governed a dynasty
as nobody else could have done?
He built and gathered a massive force
of ships as strong as you'd find
The grandest fleet in the history of mankind
You should have seen Kubilai Khan
He was a god, he was second to none
He set out to conquer the rising sun
Such was the great Kubilai Khan
What does it take for a god to see
that he's no more than a man?
Does it demand a grand defeat
by forces he can't understand?
Twice, he challenged the Samurai
Twice, the wind brought him down
'Til finally he had to give up on mighty Japan
You should have seen Kubilai Khan
He was a god, he was second to none
His fleet was demolished, his force undone
So much for the great Kubilai Khan
The wind of the gods brought them down
The wind of the gods drove them out
The wind of the gods made them see
This land is forever free
Kubilai, you were a foolish man
You sent river boats to invade Japan
Pride made you rush to prove your might
The wind of the gods would set you right
Hakata Bay stood poud and firm
The wind of the gods would make you learn
You should have seen Kubilai Khan
He was a god, he was second to none
But all of his power was not enough
Such was the great Kubilai Khan
For he was a man, never truly a god
And all that he conquered was wrecks and blood
So much for the great Kubilai Khan
He was the great Kubilai Khan
4. The Samurai Returns
A long time ago, we set out – side by side
With the rising sun in our backs, we would ride
With honour, we fought for the lords of this land
Against the invaders from the west, we made our stand
You left me lying there for dead
With only memories in my head
You tried to put out a flame that will always burn
And this is what you get in return
I'm waking up again
I'm coming back to life
The warrior returns
From the grave
The flame will always burn
The battle rages on
Vengeance is at hand
The Samurai will strike again
We've been given a second chance – and we won't fail
The Bushido is the only way – It will prevail
From the afterlife, we come
To make undone what you have done
You tried to put out a flame that will always burn
This timer you'll get what you deserve
I'm waking up again
I'm coming back to life
The warrior returns
From the grave
The flame will always burn
The battle rages on
Vengeance is at hand
The Samurai will strike again
I'm waking up again
I'm coming back to life
The warrior returns
From the grave
The flame will always burn
The battle rages on
Vengeance is at hand
The Samurai will strike
Samurai will strike again
5. City On The Edge Of Forever
Mystery veils what history reveals of a sisterhood
From another place and time
Those who claim to know will tell you it's only a fairytale
The phantoms of our dreams
Few now believe that they still exist
Secretly walking right in our midst:
Gatekeepers guarding the passage
That leads to the
City on the edge of forever
A long time ago, it was hidden without explanation
Taken from our world
It rests now on the very brink of no limitation
On the edge of forever
It's whispered the passage is hidden in plain sight
For all who now to see
Though none dare to venture, 'cause no one dare break
The gatekeeper's decree
But when she takes your hand, this beautiful maid
Close your eyes, don't be afraid
When you open them up, you will be in the of the
City on the edge of forever
A flash turns the night from darkness to green;
The most wonderous thing you've ever seen
They're coming to take you away...
To the
City on the edge of forever
6. No Surrender
Death is an easy escape in this horrid war
But I am a man who will stand by the oath he swore
Here, on this island of fear, I will hold my ground
'Til I prevail or the enemy shoots me down
They told me to never surrender
And duty must always come first
But sometimes I can't help but wonder
If my life has somehow been cursed
Year after year, it goes on like an endless night
I carry on to pursue what I know is right
My enemies fall, one by one, in this foreign land
But then, from above, comes a message from high command
They say the war is all over
I don't believe what I hear
And though I may not grow much older
My duty is ever so clear:
On this island of fear, I shall remain
And I will not yield to whatever comes my way
It may be twenty-nine years before
I'm home again
But I will keep on fighting all the same
I will never surrender
I won't ever give up
I am bound by my honour
And I will never stop
If I ever surrender
It will all be for naught
And I'll lose all my honour
'Cause of the shame I've brought
7. In The Land Of The Sun
I can see a church in which a boy lies asleep
I can see his dreams about a world without sheep
He ventures far away to a place he's never been to before
The story will begin as the dreamer sets his foot on a distant shore
On this journey, I am lost
I don't know who I can trust
But I must be on my way
I've left everything behind
In search of what I cannot find
Unless I learn how to read the signs
In the corner of a dream
Sits a man that I have seen
And he's talking about alchemy
Take a ship into the east
There lies a treasure mine to seize
If I become who I was born to be
For a moment of life
In the land where the sun
Rules on its own
Out in the desert all alone
Made of fire, made of stone
Where can I go, what can I do, why am I here?
I want to know what life's about
Now, my time is running out
Chained or free, how can I choose my destiny
When there's only one place I can go?
Stuck in a realm of crystal might
Not a dream fulfilled in sight
He's too afraid to walk the path he knows is right
I must leave this godforsaken place
Better quicken up my pace
Ignore the mirror showing me a frightened face
'Cause in the corner of my dream
Sits a man that I have seen
And he calls himself an alchemist
He says I'm meant for something more
Let's see what the desert has in store
For a boy who knows but how to dream
For a moment of life
In the land where the sun
Rules on its own
Out in the desert all alone
Made of fire, made of stone
Where can I go, what can I do, why am I here?
I want to know what life's about
Now, my time is running out
Chained or free, how can I choose my destiny?
Time goes on in the land of the sun
Life goes on in the land of the sun
For a moment of life
In the land where the sun
Rules on its own
Out in the desert all alone
Made of fire, made of stone
Where can I go, what can I do, why am I here?
I want to know what life's about
Now, my time is running out
Chained or free, how can I choose my destiny-
When I'm
For a moment of life
In the land where the sun
Rules on its own
Out in the desert all alone
Made of fire, made of stone
Where can I go, what can I do, why am I here?
I want to know what life's about
Now, my time is running out
Chained or free, how can I choose my destiny?
When there's only one place I can go?
I can see the dreamer
He's all around me
He's in you, in you, in you, in all of you
And you're treasure is unveiled
I can see the dreamer as he stands alone in the sun
I can see the dreamer as he stands alone in the sun
I can see the dreamer as he stands alone in the sun
I can see the dreamer as he stands alone in the sun
8. The Gambit
So you think you've got what it takes?
You've made up your mind?
You're ready to raise up the stakes
And leave all behind?
I've been to hell and returned
I can show you the way
Give you a map that has cost men their lives
What do you say?
But there's only so much I can teach you
Before your time runs out
So if you are ever to get there
You know what you need to know
Now go!
Pay the ferryman an extra penny
You've get to make haste
There's no time to lose
Acid splashing, darkness crashing in on you
Enter the gates of hell
To dice with the devil for fortune and fame
Master the lord of hell
I see the fear in your eyes
But don't be afraid
I don't think you do realise
What's coming your way
A man who has nothing to lose will
Still have all to gain
Now, there's nothing left but to wish you
Godspeed on your way
Acid splashing, darkness crashing in on you
Enter the gates of hell
To dice with the devil for fortune and fame
Master the lord of hell
It's a gambit, I'll have to admit
Are you willing to pay the price?
You should be aware, at the sight of those gates
The blood of most men turns to ice
Just go!
Pay the ferryman an extra penny
You've get to make haste
There's no time to lose
Add splashing, darkness crashing in on you
Enter the gates of hell
To dice with the devil for fortune and fame
Master the lord of hell
It's a gambit, I'll have to admit
Are you willing to pay the price?
The table is set, the bets have been placed
It's time to roll the dice
9. Modesty Blaise
Hey! Modesty Blaise
You seem to be having trouble
Will you solve this case?
You need to be on your way now
Someone lurks there, in the darkness
Friend or foe, you'll never know
Knife in sight, you've better watch out
One will live and one will die
Draw your gun
You think you are strong, but when daylight is gone, you'll be
On your own
And nothing can save you tonight
Stalk your prey
And one of these days, you will make them all pay for what
They have done
You live for the thrill of the chase
Modesty Blaise
Hey! What is like
Always being hunted by your past?
Is this what you want?
A life out there in the shadows of the night
Are you out of your mind?!
Hey! Modesty Blaise
You will live to fight another day
In other ways
You know, someone is always hunting you
He's lurking in the darkness
Friend or foe, you'll never know
Knife in sight, you've better watch out
One will live and one will die
Draw your gun
You think you are strong, but when daylight is gone, you'll be
On your own
And nothing can save you tonight
Stalk your prey
And one of these days, you will make them all as for what
They have done
You live for the thrill of the chase
Modesty Blaise
10. The Wisdoms Of Emond's Field
Picture the past
Remember the days gone by
In a faraway land
Where things were so different from now
An age to come
Or one that is long since gone
Who can be sure?
Someone arrived
Trouble was in their wake
What did they want?
Were they here to give or to take?
The very next day
When realisation dawned
She made up her mind
To break up and leave us behind
She had to go far away
The Wisdom of Emond's Field
What kind of role will she have to play?
The Wisdom of Emond's Field
Has gone
To follow a path unknown
Into the world
That might lead to ruin and death
While everyday
The storm that is brewing on
The edge of the world
Threatens to come this way
Nothing remains
The witch and the warder
Stole her away
When our need of her was so great
She had a gift
She was the youngest Wisdom alive
The youngest to ever have lived
But she had to go far away
The Wisdom of Emond's Field
that kind of role will she have to play?
The Wisdom of Emond's Field
What are we gonna do without her
In a world where evil is growing stronger?
She was special, that girl
She could talk to the world
And she could listen to the wind
And tell me what it says
Listen to the wind
Oh, listen to the wind
Listen to the wind
And tell me what it says
Listen to the wind
Oh, listen to the wind
A fantastic story
But what if it was true?
A legend for the ages
I would believe if I were you
Ooooh Ooooh
The Wisdom of Emond's Field
Ooooh Ooooh
The Wisdom of Emond's Field
Ooooh Ooooh
The Wisdom of Emond's Field
Ooooh Ooooh
The Wisdom of Emond's Field
