1. The Burn

They said a time would come
The Sun would start to die
And grow real big, and burn like fury
wasting everything around
Eat Mercury like a snack
Toast Venus to a cinder
And then Apocalypse would come
upon the Earth, so it's our turn
...not a hope

The sky is set afire
The cities die in screams
While all the waters dry and
leave us on a dusty ocean's floor
Then, in a day or two
The Sun would start to cool
The few survivors left to seek
a future in the great unknown
...all alone

Chorus: Where do we belong?
A dried up world...by the Burn
Nothing like before
No place for us anymore

Hot screaming wind is scouring down
the seabed rocks
Sweeping the stinging sands ahead
There is no going back

Where do we belong?
A dried up world....by the Burn
Nothing like before
No place for us anymore
A wasteland for us all
On scorched earth...by the Burn
Nothing like before
No place for us anymore

2. Bitter Crop

An eye's blink and seeds have grown
Seasons pass and time has come, but
We both know the reasons why
It's so hard to face the harvest

Made of lies and weakness
Hate and so much more
An unfinished business
With an ending carved in stone

And the crop is still there
For the crows to pluck
For the wind to gather
For the sun to burn and rot

So the reaping's to be done
Not a chance to change my mind, for
Alibis are gone
Not a chance to leave it all behind

Ready or not – Reason or fault
Before the dawn – Our work's to be done

Get a grip and roll the sickle
You'll be reaping what you've sown
In the end, all you get is
Nothing but a bitter crop

And we knew it all before
Didn't hear our little good sense
Now our hands are full
Actions have their consequences

All the truths unspoken
Whispered in the cold
As tormented children
Lost and beaten by the storm

Said in two words – It's simply wrong
This nature's course – Wondering on
Ready or not – Reason or fault
Before the dawn – Our work's to be done

Get a grip and roll the sickle
You'll be reaping what you've sown
In the end, all you get is
Nothing but a bitter crop

3. Princess Of The Wolves

Run! Face the demon's rage – Shoot your arrow
Corrupted by his creeping curse – Your arm's crawling
East is where the god came from – The track to follow
Leave your land like you were dead – The only hope to be healed

A furious attack
She's leading the pack
They've come to steal
She comes for the kill

She's the wrath of the gods
Mononoke, human no more
She's the Princess of the Wolves
Her hate's been burning inside
Since the day she was sacrificed
Scion of the Wolf-God

The forge burns in Irontown – The iron's melting
Milady built this society – Outcasts' sanctuary
The wolf-girl swore to kill her – She won't let her
Raze the forest at her will – And take the Nightwalker's head

Caught in a war
Unsustainable growth
There's no compromise
You can't choose your side

A sin was committed by sheer greed of men
A black shroud of death is now covering the land

She's the wrath of the gods
Mononoke, human no more
She's the Princess of the Wolves
Her hate's been burning inside
Since the day she was sacrificed
Scion of the Wolf-God

Return the head to the almighty spirit
Life flows again – Will men learn to preserve it?

She's the wrath of the gods
Mononoke, human no more
She's the Princess of the Wolves
Her hate's been burning inside
Since the day she was sacrificed
Scion of the Wolf-God

4. Triumph Of The Darksword

One year later he's returning
Ten years older, wiser eyes
Does he hold the world destruction in his hand?
War's fought on two chessboards
A new enemy's bursting in
Riding iron creatures, firing rays of death

But there he stands
Holding his sword, killing the light
Like an angel of death

Oh Lord – Is this the Triumph of the Darksword?
Only hope for this world

The new foe joins the old one
He's threading a web of lies
At the temple of the dead the trap is set
At the dawn of the final battle
The executioner hides unseen
Four blows explode, the young man falls like dead

He's at the ground
As life fades away the magic disguise falls
The fool saved the Dead man

Oh Lord – Is this the Triumph of the Darksword?
Any hope for this world?

A voice from distant centuries
Reveals what was left untold
A divine warning was misunderstood for prophecy
The world salvation's in the hand
Of him who bears the sword
The only hope is to release Life
Set the magic free

Give heed to what the spirits say
Settle the world's doom
A new beginning is at hand
Raise your sword one last time
Shatter the altar stone
Then wait for all to fall apart

And now the darkness comes
Rising as sudden tide upon the earth, upon the land
Dispelling light from the world
The world is stormed by wind and rain
And when it all is over nothing moves, nothing can
Life has been drained from the Well

One year later he returned
Ten years older, wiser eyes
Did he really bring destruction in his hand?
A fate of no forgiving
They'll never understand
How he saved their world from a worse destiny

There he remains
Forever cursed by the ones
Who now leave this dying world

Oh Lord – This is the Triumph of the Darksword
No more hope for this world

He came for salvation
Did he bring damnation to the world?
Was his dark creation
Meant to be the ruin of the world?

5. Windchaser

I was not born to sit back
To watch the fire die
I chose to run my life through
Chasing dreams lost in the wind

I'm not slowing down
Forever on the run
As long as I've got some breath
You will see me chasing the wind

Countless times I've fallen
I've got scars on my face
Still they don't hurt as much
As the ones carved into my soul
I'm not slowing down
Forever on the run
As long as I've got some breath
You will see me chasing the wind

I fear not death, I fear only apathy
I just want my dreams to survive after me
I'd hate to pass without leaving a trace
That's why I'm into this unwinnable race
So on that day when I'm dust on the ground
Yet my time of resting will not have come
Please gather my ashes and blow them in the wind
I'll be on the run as long as the world spins

I was not born to sit back
To watch the fire die
I chose to run my life through
Chasing dreams lost in the wind

I'm not slowing down
Forever on the run
As long as I've got some breath
You will see me chasing the wind

6. Field Of Heroes

Hail! I'm an hero in the field
Shout! All the crowd is crying for me
The sun's scorching through my armor
The sweat trickling down my face
Adrenalin is flooding my veins
I won't disappoint you, oh no

The clang of fight resounds around
My name will ring for ages
Forever sending my fame ahead

I will come to eternity
I will buy my freedom
The dreams I had all the time will
Turn into my everyday life

Play! Who said this is just a game?
Life! I am wagering my fate
Who said we can't solve our problems
By force and violence?
He surely was a little weak man!
I will overcome my way

The clash of arms is hurting
But I will score my last try
All I want to crush, my enemies

I will come to eternity
I will buy my freedom
The dreams I had all the time will
Turn into my everyday life

Opening my eyes again, I'm back to the present
Quite, lying in the dust, I shed secretly my tears
In a while I've lost my dreams, what's the future now for me?
In this field of heroes, just a distant memory

No more hero, no more people scream for me

Hail! A new hero in the field
Shout! All the crowd is crying for him

The void made by my defeat
Is filled by someone else now
My name replaced in all their chants

I won't come to eternity
I won't buy my freedom
The dreams I had all the time will
Turn into my one enemy

7. Hot Lead Cold Steel

The story goes that
Once I was drowned in a glass
Then resurfaced again
My soul was scarred and
Forever branded with shame
Of a worthless way

A pack of rebels we're supposed to fight
Savage, still bound with distant morals
A long time has passed and a new age has come
We're gonna make a clean sweep of 'em all
They use no firearms
Believe in cold steel
There is no chance they prevail

Emerging from the fog
Of our delusions
The roughness of the truth
Has turned my point of view

They arise from the bowels of time
Bringing a forgotten loyalty
Give their lives just to recoil from lies
That's the price to pay

Losing the battle I've lost my mind
The right seems so wrong and the wrong's so charming
I've fought unknown enemies all of my life
Now for the first time, I've found their valour

They need no firearms
Believe in cold steel
Their only way to prevail

It's hard to realize
You chose the wrong side
You can't wipe what you did
But you can cross the line

They arise from the bowels of time
Bringing a forgotten loyalty
Give their lives just to recoil from lies
That's the price to pay

Isn't it foolish?
You have to wait till the end
To make sense to a whole life
It's never too late
To turn over a new leaf
And to start from scratch

They arise from the bowels of time
Bringing a forgotten loyalty
Give their lives just to recoil from lies
That's the price to pay

8. Lure Of The Temptress

Lure of the Temptress
Right in front of you
Charm in her calling
And the whirl of her whip

No place for reasoning
Bereft of it all
No space for breathing
Crushed under her grip

Nothing more than pain
When lust is gone
Aftermath will come
And flesh will hurt

Blood on our fingers
Sand on our tongues
Rust on our bodies
Then it's over and done

Nothing more than pain
When lust is gone
Aftermath will come
And flesh will hurt

A rush of blood pumping up to your head
Filled by her whispering "Here I am"
All of your senses become amplified
Yielding to her evil forces

Nothing more than pain
When lust is gone
Aftermath will come
And flesh will hurt

9. Bloody Mary

She walks the earth in a constant disguise
Sister of mercy, or beast on the hunt?
She's Bloody Mary, she's one of a kind
She'll mark your life with a permanent scar

She's the thing that cannot die, no

Bloody Mary comes – As a deadly saviour
To set our spirit free
Lady Liberty – You know I'm still waiting
Your taking me away

She tasted power, a mouthful of pain
Swallowed a load down of guilt and despair
Crying in anger, stone dead in her heart
Left with a monster that's swimming in her blood

She's the thing that cannot die, no

Bloody Mary comes – As a deadly saviour
To set our spirit free
Lady Liberty – You know I'm still waiting
Your taking me away

Poor Mary, stranded in a nightmare
Where everyone you loved has left or screwed
No friendly tongue to lick your wounds, now
Or let you hold on, safe and sound

She's still around in the usual disguise
Out of control, out of her mind
Totally crazed, hurt and astray
Pity for those daring to stand in her way

She's the thing that cannot die, no

Bloody Mary comes – As a deadly saviour
To set our spirit free
Lady Liberty – You know I'm still waiting
Your taking me away
Bloody Mary comes – As a deadly saviour
To set our spirit free
Lady Liberty – You know I'm still waiting
Your taking me away

10. Impossible Infinity

Staring at the bottom of my glass
No answers, but a burden
Full of question marks
I've dragged my bones across the town
Drowning in my self-pity
The last three months

All our visions, the dreams I've built around you
Fell apart and I'm left in dust and rubble

Impossible infinity – Forever meant to last

Well, her smile was like the morning
And her eyes were just like pools of dew
Quenched our thirst on a warm summer evening
Whispered to the moon our oaths of love

Empty spaces, there is so much between us
And our distance is cutting like a plow

Impossible infinity – Forever meant to last
Impossible infinity – But never meant to be

I've never left my place into your heart
And I've been watching you
Here in silence
Although we'll never get to meet again
There should be a way to ease
Our endless pain

Touch my body – If you could feel it we could
Hold each other until the end of time

Impossible infinity – Forever meant to last
Impossible infinity – But never meant to be

Come to me
I'm your light
Rest your head
For a while
Close your eyes
Facing each dawn with a...
Love that can't live
Yet never dies
We'll take our time
Fingers entwined
On a journey
Without body
Blending our souls
Together forevermore

Thunderbolts and lightning – The course of time has reversed
But all the dreams of magic – All of a sudden are gone
As in a lapse of reason – The truth is back like a stone
A rock upon my shoulders – A weight I'll never leave off

In a moment
Reality is back and
It's just darkness
So cold it hurts to breathe
All that's left is
An empty glowing crater
Here in my chest
Where my heart used to be

Impossible infinity – Forever meant to last
Impossible infinity – But never meant to be
Impossible infinity – Forever meant to last
Impossible infinity – But never meant to be
