1. United (Welcome Back)

The sting of winter whips the wasteland
The wind blows cold throughout the night
Too long we wore the shroud of darkness
Time to raise the torch, return to light

Break through the walls, kick down the doors, it's time
Ascend the throne and ring the chimes

Didn't miss the drama or the scandal
Or yearn the singer or the song
Speak only once we have something to say
In from the cold, been far too long

Break through the walls, kick down the doors, it's time
We're united, scream it

WELCOME BACK
It's time to see, here to be, we're the chosen ones
We are the flame that prevails through the night
WELCOME BACK
We are the spark in the darkness that lights the way
As one, united, we say – welcome back

2. Immortal

Endlessly long, tormenting and enslaving
Ten thousand strong, relentlessly invading
Forced him to fight, vowing to end their ascendance
Unleashing might, horror will win him his vengeance

War of the land, waged without fear in defiance
Evil command, beckons unholy alliance
The life in him dies, born again within the hour
Lost mortal ties, the source of his infinite power

Fall to shadow
The infernal
Roaming black six centuries
Curse eternal
The immortal
Prays for death to be set free

Burning with hatred, destroy the betrayers in bloodshed
Ruler of nightmares, served by the faithful and undead
Unseen at sunrise, stalking the shadows 'till light dies
Born into darkness, bow to the prince of the night skies

3. Fallen Idols

A cold Autumn night
He walks alone
Passed by just like yesterday's news
He pulls his hood tight
His thoughts itch and sting Like a fresh tattoo

It seems unreal
Another life
A dream half-remembered, now gone
And sadness he feels
The record needle skips
To the end of the song

The price of fame, a game
Where everybody knows your name
And the whole world for the taking
No more

TORN – Those golden dreams are far away
NOW GONE – Colours fade and turn to grey
Tomorrow wakes to face our fallen idols

Flying so high
Head in the clouds
Upwards, shoot for the moon
Burning so bright
Some stars live
And they die far too soon

TORN – Those golden dreams are far away
NOW GONE – Colours fade and turn to grey
Tomorrow wakes to face our fallen idols
STAND TALL – Rising stars of yesterday
AND FALL – Riding high, the final wave
The lanyard cord breaks for fallen idols

How do we live again
When the dream comes to an end
Climb to our feet and then
We rise again

4. Wilder Than The Wind

A restless breeze blows warm as shadows fall
Streets bathed in twilight, neon searchlights stretch across the walls
Come alive when daylight dies, taste the starlight's kiss
Running free and you'll see nothing means as much as this

And so we hear the call
Oh, now we know
We sway the gypsy's wicked dance once more

We never were the ones to take the fall
Strong inside, contend the pride and we're walking tall
Out on the streets, close body heat here to keep us warm
Big city heartbeat, feet on concrete like an ever-rising storm

And so we hear the call
Oh, so we go
And walk this unrelenting path once more

Never lose that fire, running wilder than the wind
Always choose to fight, don't hold back and don't give in
Cry for freedom, riding high, gone – we'd fade and die
Set our sights beyond the sky
And we're running wilder than the wind

5. Nod To The Old School

There once was a child with a dream
So full of wonder, naivety
Infinite schemes

And go, and grow and know
Who we are inside
And reaching up higher
One look back to see
Just how far we've come

A link to the past
A nod to the old school
The feeling that lasts
As the journey goes on

There now is a man full of pride
On through the heartbreak and ecstasy
Stronger; survived

So look back at how far we've come

There once was a child with a dream
Now stands a man with a soul full of proud memories

Now look to horizons, of journeys to come

6. Chaos Raining

You cast your gaze upon my form
Into cold eyes that once were warm
Hardened by sorrow, I still bleed
I will arise from bended knee

The days loom grey, forever seem
My mind engaged in pain unseen
Suffer the past, onward I roam
Through severed ties I walk alone

Say goodbye I'm lost forever
The storm it rages on and on,
I'm stronger
For every day that dies I'll wonder
The chaos raining down, I'm drowning under

The years estranged, like endless waves
Our time is gone, now swept away
Torn down, rebuilt, in iron gleam
This broken man becomes machine

7. Counting Down The Hours

3am
The bedside clock is checking hours to the dawn
Another sleepless night
This empty room reminds me that you're gone

Some say, in some way
We lose ourselves in stranger days
But dreams fade and left to wonder why

But in my memories...

I'm counting down the hours 'til I see your face
In every point and moment here I burn
This ticking clock counts down to when
I fall into your arms again
And then I'm yours
Once more

An open road ahead
Those new horizons call to me once more
For all the wonder sought I know this road can't lead me to your door
Anymore

Some day, in some way
We'll find another thread again
So I'll wait and close my misting eyes

But in my memories...

Can't turn back time
To find those missing years
And time won't heal us from this pain
Come take my hand
And dry our sullen tears
And start again

'Cos in my memories...

8. In Dreams

A slow walk back to now
Notions play like whispers down the wire
A rumour or a vow
Nothing sadder than a masquerade smile

Dream awake in lucid days
Who will you shed your tears for
So gather the changing wind
Of abstract fears and nevermore

Tempt with open arms
Here in the melee, a sonnet or a sigh
Beyond nostalgia's charm
A sunrise dewdrop's trembling desire

I never said I'd stay
To tend those golden fields once more
So when there's nothing left to say
Ride the summer breeze
Through open doors

In dreams – treading familiar roads
In dreams – holding the days we know
In dreams...

9. The Edge Of The World

Learn or burn
The fire of time will cleanse us
The blinding light of justice dies
The cries
Old flesh is burned away
Ever searching for a better way

And so we sailed beyond the sea
A voyage of discovery
To the edge of the world
But now we see
This journey ends for you and me
Here we stand at the edge of the world

Lies, demise
Our childrens' dead-eyed stares
Lost in our thoughts and prayers
We've come too far
Enligtended brave new world
Just another new dystopia

10. Kill Or Be Killed

The wolfpack's at your door
The horde is clawing closer tonight
No escape plan anymore
Time to swallow your fear
And it's time to turn and fight

When you're running out of time
When the sands are running low in your life
And you'll learn to do what's right
Make the change and make the choices
That will show you who you are

And you're standing here alone now
No safety, no sanctity
It's time to make your own vows
Take control when you learn that it's...

Kill or be killed

The sun is drawing low
The dark and cold are waiting for you
If fear is all you know
It's time to turn and learn
What you truly need to do

When the wolfpack's at your door
And the horde is clawing closer tonight
No fear any more
Made the change and took the chance
And you learned just who you are

11. Master Of Darkness

A planet burns, the warrior torn
Lost to fear, will be reborn
Spared from death, armour of black
Imprisoned guilt, no turning back

A life spent warring inner demons
Subdue the light with dark side legions
Dreaming visions, breaking silence
Enigmatic lord of violence

You'll hear my deepened breath
Behold, the star of death
Behind these blackened eyes
I see my empire rise

You made me, you gave me
Infinite anger then cast me away to the night
Rage feeds me
Becoming master of darkness
I welcome the dying of light

A state of grief, he will remain
Finding power in his pain
The dark resides within his fate
A force evolves, made strong by hate

Storms of passion, sleepless days
Echoed voice of ancient ways
Shadowed path that he must follow
A mind grown strong With a heart left hollow

12. Break The Ice

оригинал: John Farnham

Frozen in silence
Facing it alone
Gotta keep my cool
Make em think I'm made of stone

It's a game of wills we're playin
Our nerves are made of steel
Balanced on the edges of everything we feel

It's gonna take all of we've got
Just to make it through this night
Gotta feel it right through my skin
And it's cuttin like a knife

Get ready to break the ice
Feels like time is standing still
Aiming right for your heart
Ready to take another spill
Only you can make it right
You can break the ice inside of me

A single minded passion
A solitary stand
I thought I was alone
Left out in the cold again
So I'm givin you all I've got
I'm gonna make it through this night
And even though I could fall
I'm prepared to lose the fight

Get ready to break the ice
Feels like time is standing still
Aiming right for your heart
Ready to take another spill
Only you can make it right
You can break the ice

Get ready to break the ice
Feels like time is standing still
Aiming right for your heart
Ready to take another spill

Get ready to break the ice
Feels like time is standing still
Aiming right for your heart
Ready to take another spill

Get ready to break the ice

13. Touch The Fire

оригинал: Icehouse

She moves like a mystic
Like a priestess, tall and pale
She lays down the mystery
All her secrets are unveiled

Wherever I look, I see her there
Wherever I go, you know she's there

And she takes posession, she has control
Next to you I can touch the fire
And when the fever takes ahold
Next to you I can touch the fire

Her words fall in echos
Ringing bells like gypsy rhymes
She has the power
No believer can explain

Wherever I look, I see her there
Wherever I go, you know she's there

And she takes posession, she has control
Next to you I can touch the fire
And when the fever takes ahold
Next to you I can touch the fire
I feel the heat pumping in my veins
Next to you I can touch the fire
I see myself going up in flames
Next to you I can touch the fire

Wherever I look I see her there
Wherever I go you know she's there

She takes posession
Touch the fire
Touch the fire
I feel the heat pumping in my veins
Next to you I can touch the fire
I see myself going up in flames
Next to you I can touch the fire
