1. Malevolently Beautiful

(intro)

2. Merciless

Outrage... my dreams
Coming from the reign of sinners
Ice cold and evil
So sweet I can't resist

Endless temptation
Fascinating shadow of the night
Pleasure... loving
When darkness takes the place of daylight

I step into the Black
Unable to deny
A sinful feel of lust
Strange, uneasy, unknown
No place for innocence
when heart is pounding fast
Surrender to the call
Under the moon

Torn my soul... Burn my eyes
But I will follow you in the dark
We'll rise... As far as high
beyond the black
It comes the eternal lie... Forever ride
And then you crawl me through the
endless night... Devouring inside
And now it's too late for me to fight

The way you touch me
the way you tell me that my name
The way you love me
The way you mercilessly kill... me!!!

I step into the Black
Unable to deny
A sinful feel of lust
Strange, uneasy, unknown
No place for innocence
when heart is pounding fast
Surrender to the call
Under the moon

Torn my soul... Burn my eyes
But I will follow you in the dark
We'll rise... As far as high
beyond the black
It comes the eternal lie... Forever ride
And then you crawl me through the
endless night... Devouring inside
And now it's too late for me to fight

3. Only One Life Away

I wonder why promises are still made
'cause I've found there's nothing that last
Then I cry out of my desperation
For the ones I once loved in my past

For the time we will reach for the truth
And when nothing seems real anymore
But I want to find shelter in your eyes
So I can find... peace in my heart

When conscience is falling, and destiny's calling
The sins of the fathers, will go on forever

When guilty and pain, are coming at... you
Rain from the storm, Burning... like fire

When it came to deny any chance
For the ones who are lost in the rain
When you think you run safe and free
I will come to say you never will

No matter how far you can hide
I'll stand and refuse to give up
At the end of the road of confusion
There's nothing for someone who lies

When there's no forgiveness
But you keep on running
You're waiting for signs
That will they never come

Regrets of a lifetime
Keep coming at you...
Out of your mind
Into the madness

Insanity
Falling on misery
Out of the tears of a dying breed
Only to rise on the flames

Unholy cries
All this was meant to be
Only one life away from the dreams
That tear me apart from you

When conscience is falling, and destiny's calling
The sins of the fathers, will go on forever

When guilty and pain, are coming at... you
Rain from the storm, Burning!!! Like fire

Insanity
Falling on misery
Out of the tears of a dying breed
Only to rise on the flames

Unholy cries
All this was meant to be
Only one life away from the dreams
That tear me apart from you

4. Everything You're Not

Can't feel... and my tears went dry
Once ruined by a Queen like you
Darker than the darkness... did
You came from our evilness?

I'm afraid all their hope is now gone
In my dreams I can see
I can break you

Rise up I'm the new Messiah
Deadly to your hate and fire
Evil is your endless doing
But I am your vast undoing

Wicked, twisted I forsake you
In the light I will unmake you
Lies from you I will not follow

Say again we are the same

Everything I am
Everything you're not

Faithless... turned the haven into a wasteland
Poisoned by the black of your soul

Will we ever see how the fairness used to be
But In my dreams I can see
I can break you

Rise up I'm the new Messiah
Deadly to your hate and fire
Evil is your endless doing
But I am your vast undoing

Wicked, twisted I forsake you
In the light I will unmake you
Lies from you I will not follow

Say again we are the same

Everything I am
Everything you're...
Everything I am
Everything you're not!

5. New World's Comin'

Coming from the lonely winds of winter
A voice is whispering a brand new
Sound of hope

There seems no justice in a world
That's full of blindness
And words are telling you
To turn your back to the fallen

Do I have no one that I can trust?
Are you the one I was waiting in my desperate falling?

Burning out the sun
And spread the word around
Rise to the skies and heal
The broken hearts that were forgotten

Lost in the eternal night
We couldn't fight for freedom
I'm not the only one who
Will believe a New World's comin'

Try so hard to rescue something
From the ashes
When no one waits no more for signs
That came from nothing

Well, now you hear the loudest scream of retribution
A new illusion that will bring you up to the calling

And when the dreams seem to fail in vain
All I know is I refuse to give up
With no fighting

Burning out the sun
And spread the word around
Rise to the skies and heal
The broken hearts that were forgotten

Coming from the lonely winds of winter
A voice is whispering...

Burning out the sun
And spread the word around
Rise to the skies and heal
The broken hearts that were forgotten

6. Cry No More

I still remember once a proud boy far from home
The fighter and the gambler... A rogue with a spell and joy

Bad reputation they said he could never die
But now is the needle turning his heart and mind in black

And when the stars are falling
Tearing out my soul
A broken hero that can't take it anymore

When devil rules the game
Repent before the fall
Now take me to the place where I will cry no more

The brave and fearless cowboy
Got lost by the evil lies
A renegade who was
Defeated and overcome

He's running out of alibis
To get thru another day

He needs the rush one last time
Before comes the hell to pay

And when the stars are falling
Tearing out my soul
A broken hero that can't take it anymore

Are you out there?
I really need you now

I want to believe I can give it up
But I guess it will never set me free

And when the stars are falling
Tearing out my soul
A broken hero that can't take it anymore

7. Tears I Will Be

When different worlds turn cold with sorrow
Silent but deadly inside you
And the winds that will blow tomorrow
You know crash and burn will follow

I wish I could be the one I used to be
I need to remember how... it was to feel
Never afraid by no one down the road
Until I found the things... can't be undone

Inside my dreams
Always relentless... the voice of fear
Evil tries to pull me under

The more it seems real
The deeper I may fall eternally
I need to find peace in your eyes

Don't wanna be alone in the rain
I need you to defeat my despair

Don't let me fall in my evilness
You are the one I need to pretend

As long as I can see in the black
I wanna be your light in the dark

If all we had was not meant to be
Forever cry the tears I will be

I hope I can find a meaning for the rage
Different ways of pain out on the edge
Before my heart begins to show the cracks
Will unfold the secrets of my life

Into the unknown
Crawling so deep down the memories
Feeling like all I knew was wrong within

Trying to find
Pieces of me out of broken dreams
I need to find peace in your eyes

Inside my dreams
Always relentless... the voice of fear
Evil tries to pull me under

The more it seems real
The deeper I may fall eternally
I need to find peace in your eyes

8. Insane

Once you told me to hold my breath...
That we had something that could live forever
But now you say you're leaving
So tell me what's forever for
Without you

Life crushed upon the shore
Where I can't hold the broken pieces
Can't find my way to you
I cannot cross that bridge you burned

When I cry my tears out in pain
And I'm praying for you just in vain
When the more that I'm calling your name
Is the more that I'm driving insane

So they keep saying life will carry on
But when you just know life...
...ain't a life anymore

Take me home to a distant dream
Where I can paint a beautiful lie
All I've ever had
All I've ever lost and
All that might be is forever gone

When I cry my tears out in pain
And I'm praying for you just in vain
When the more that I'm calling your name
Is the more that I'm driving insane

Life crushed upon the shore
Can't find my way to you

When I cry my tears out in pain
And I'm praying for you just in vain
When the more that I'm calling your name
Is the more that I'm driving insane

9. Live By The Lie, Die By The Truth

Once... We were close as brothers...
Now we're distant as worlds apart...
Why don't you just take away my pain
I will be fearless cause I will be free

Superstitious and senseless
They will slave you in the name of God
If... there's no chance for freedom
I rather escape to a world of my own

You think I'm a fool for believing
In dreams out reality
But you don't see what's the wind
Carrying to you
In the day of reckoning

Live by the lie, die by the truth
Is this the place... we'll give to our sons
Call to the Land... that was torn in two
They show no mercy to those who refuse
Dust from the stars what only we'll be
Don't ever wonder if no one forgives

Is it real what I'm seeing thru
Or just the eyes are deceiving you
All the seeds we created for good
They're all now wasted and cursed by the hate

If no one can hear
What the Gods we believe in are crying out
Then maybe is the time for the end of the Kingdom
We never deserved

Live by the lie, die by the truth
Is this the place... we'll give to our sons
Call to the Land... that was torn in two
They show no mercy to those who refuse
Dust from the stars what only we'll be
Don't ever wonder if no one forgives

You think I'm a fool for believing
In dreams out reality
But you don't see what's the wind
Carrying to you
In the day of reckoning

Live by the lie, die by the truth
Is this the place... we'll give to our sons
Call to the Land... that was torn in two
They show no mercy to those who refuse
Dust from the stars what only we'll be
Don't ever wonder if no one forgives

10. Ghost Of You

Wind blows so cruel this time
Silence bites even harder at night
All I have feared is the emptiness
And even my words just... can't hold on the breeze

Used to believe you were my only friend
But fool is the soul that pretends to be safe
Now is the time always knew it will come
Before the dawn be free from my past

When all hope is gone
And the snakes wear the crown
Before I'll pay for all my sins
I will make my last... call

Ghost of you
Show me the way to be free
Lost in time
Cold is the heart in the black of the night
Silent cry
You come to haunt me at night
Ghost of you
Look up to you at the end of my time

All t have feared is the emptiness
When even my words just... can't hold on the breeze
Now is the time always knew it will come
Ain't good to see
All we had is so wasted

Used to believe you were my only friend
Before the dawn I'll be free from my past

When all hope is gone
And the snakes wear the crown
Before I'll pay for all my sins
I will make my last... call

Ghost of you
Show me the way to be free
Lost in time
Cold is the heart in the black of the night
Silent cry
You come to haunt me at night
Ghost of you
Look up to you at the end of my time

11. The Art Of Illusions Part III: The Wasteland

What am I doing here...
Surrounded by thousands of cries and tormented souls
Someone will have to roam
A road to a different darkness
I never saw

Feels like I wither and fall
I know there's no one or nothing to
Hold on to
These are the Ghosts of men...
Who once failed and never learnt
The place where the sinners go
Please someone wake me!

Wasteland... where all you've ever had is gone
Strangers abandoned so far from home
Silence... Forget anyone you love
See now you're stranded forever lost

Now that we all have sinned
I don't understand why you stare at me... who are you!?
I wonder you still have the power...
For one more trick
Please someone wake me!

Please someone wake me!

Ghost of you
Show me the way to be free
Lost in time
Cold is the heart in the black of the night
Silent cry
You come to haunt me at night
Ghost of you
Look up to you at the end of my time

12. Shadows Of War

No matter if they think we are the fool
I know we will make it to the end
And if you still think I'm the one you can rule
Not crazy enough to kill at your command

If this could be the last day I'll ever live
I must be repent less for what I will have to be

And when I see the world is upside down in despair
Try to fight over and over again
And when I know the time is running out to be free
I'll stand the ground...
From the Shadows of War

Whenever you think we've lost the game
Still strong long after I am gone
And if you want to keep those lies to yourself
Face the defeat just like a man

If this could be the last day I'll ever live
I must be repentless for what I will have to be

And when I see the world is upside down in despair
Try to fight over and over again
And when I know the time is running out to be free
I'll stand the ground...
From the Shadows of War

13. Lady Of The Lake

оригинал: Rainbow
(бонус)

There's a magical sound slidin' over the ground
Makin' it shiver and shake
And a permanent cry fallin' out of the sky
Slippery and sly like a snake

With a delicate move kind of shifty and smooth
A shadow has covered the light
Then a beam in the shade from a silvery blade
Has shattered the edge of the night

I know she waits below
Only to rise on command
When she comes for me
She's got my life in her hands

When a movement behind hit the side of my mind
I trembled and shook it away
Then another assault and I started to falter
Fibers of steel turned to clay

With a bubbly turn now the water should churn
And push it way from the core
And a lady in white will bring sun to the night
Brighter than ever before

I know she waits below
Only to rise on command
When she comes for me
She's got my life in her hands
Lady of the lake

There's a magical sound slidin' over the ground
Makin' it shiver and shake
And a permanent cry fallin' out of the sky
Slippery and sly like a snake

With a delicate move kind of shifty and smooth
A shadow has covered the light
Then a beam in the shade from a silvery blade
Has shattered the edge of the night

Straight down I'm swirling around
Blinded and bruised by the strain
There must be some way to see
Diamonds out of the rain

I know she waits below
Only to rise on command
When she comes for me
She's got my life in her hands
Lady of the lake
