2. The Duel (Back From The Edge Of Time)

"Welcome back, my friend, to this wicked game
Let me remind you
how to play
ack from the edge of time

You may have forgotten that
No honour
you need to protect
And no rules you need to learn
Back from the edge of time

You may try to show respect
You may try to show some pity
Here's another unknown victim"

"Here we fight and never rest
A cold and blind heart is what you need
Back from the edge of time

You may still believe in words
Like trust and loyalty
They don't matter any more
Back from the edge of time

You must accept our new world
Our battle rages on
Come and face your destiny"

Seeking, now
Found: feelings
Underline this word
Searching, now
Found: soul
Underline this word

"You may still believe in words
Like trust and loyalty
They don't matter any more
Back from the edge of time

You must accept our new world
Our battle rages on
Come and face your destiny"

Seeking, now
Found: feelings
Underline this word
Searching, now
Found: soul
Underline this word

"Flashes of ghostly blades
Electric quivers of crumbling powers
Frozen breaths through burning air
In my mind, silent witnesses of the duel"

3. Moutains Of Madness

Thunder and lightning crash my mirrors
And leave me naked in front of my fears

A different sky over this old land
A cloudy sky, heavy of rain and ice
Puzzling news for these countries of sun
Puzzling news for these countries of sun

All my silent nightmares
Awaken guests and hosts
On the mountains of madness

Thunder and lightning crash my mirrors
And leave me naked in front of my fears
Thunder and lightning crash my mirrors
And leave me naked in front of my fears

As I walk through my silent town
I hear the wind and it feels foreign to my skin
I must face an unknown fate
And desperation is the word,
As a wild and wounded wolf
it wanders through the alleys of my brain

Thunders and lightning build me a stairway
To reach the top of the clouds that
Move fast to the edge of the landscape
To their strange source
To those cliffs unknown

All my silent nightmares
Awaken guests and hosts
On the mountains of madness

Thunder and lightning crash my mirrors
And leave me naked in front of my fears
Thunder and lightning crash my mirrors
And leave me naked in front of my fears

4. Winter Masquerade

Cold as the whispers
Of a thousand cursed winds
Here came the snow
And the Winter Masquerade...

Icy peaks and darkened skies
Realms of wonder
Dreaming in decadence
Damned by their past
And their fallen majesty
Hear the sound of horns

Their ships and their gods
Brought back to life

The time has come for their rebirth
Through magic haze...
The Winter Masquerade

After aeons of oblivion
Seeking lost days of glory
Careless of anyone's regret
Their march is fierce and ghastly
Mirrors of our own sins
Their reflection freezes the holy scenery
But all happens in a blink of an eye,
One more...and they're gone

The time has come for their rebirth
Through magic haze...
The Winter Masquerade

And they're gone, one more
Mingling with the shaky horizon
And you're left wondering if they were real
Or one more picture of your
Collection of visions

The time has come for their rebirth
Through magic haze...
The Winter Masquerade

5. Lord Of Sands

"Eternal soul look into my void
Your lonely sign, your days of fire"

"I watch the sand, blown away
from the open palm of my hand
by the steady wind of time
the world's at my command"

A tale to tell
A silent Lord
Stands alone with his unspoken words
A tale to learn
And the iron rings were lost

"From my throne of stone
I rule thy world
I've seen all ages end
those dark and those bright"

A tale to tell
A silent lord
Stands alone with his unspoken words
A broken chain
And the iron rings were lost

Time to win, time to lose
Fates of men in my spell
Ice-blue skies, lands of gold
Promises and hopes

Time to win, time to lose
Faults of men are their hell
Will they learn from their ways
Let the drama begin

6. Twilight Sky (Children Of The Rainbow)

We meet at the sunset
On the streets of every country
Eyes fixed on the same target
No one else can detect

Forgotten willows and solitary crying
Tears of melancholy far from the people's gaze

Come and join the brotherhood
Follow the echoes of
Our synchronized hearts

Beating together as one

Share our journey
We are dreamers
Into the Twilight Sky
We are dreamers

Glowing red sun on the horizon
A green ray flashes
The beam crosses our bodies
Taking away disillusions an hopes

It's Twilight time
This is no reality
This is Twilight time
We are dreamers

Share our journey
We are dreamers
Into the Twilight Sky
We are dreamers

7. Wind Of Solitude

Once a man ran away through
gloomy and cold valleys
Exiled, he found peace in the darkness
Could evil be blind in obscurity?

His heart was full of an inner void
The sharp Wind of Solitude cut away
Looking for peace in vain
Demons feeding on hate
A sip of death to lessen the pain

Only guilty of being born
Praying a God who cannot hear

The peaceful world locks the doors
Living in agony day in day out

He was wrong, determined and only mortal
The time will deplete his vital force

Only guilty of being born
Praying a God who cannot ear

Bitter tears we are forced to share for evermore
Mankind was born to die

Only guilty of being born
Praying a God who cannot ear

Bitter tears we are forced to share for evermore
Mankind was born to die

He caught your scent
The headman saw you
He caught your scent
Why did you hide in his chaotic realm?

Only guilty of being born
Praying a God who cannot ear

Bitter tears we are forced to share for evermore
Mankind was born to die
Bitter tears we are forced to share for evermore
Mankind was born to die

8. Gabriel

Gabriel said: Archangel, I am I, Gabriel
Messenger of the divine anger
My sword serves the justice in the sky
Now, my father doesn't speak to me anymore, or I don't hear
My father doesn't speak any more
Now, Gabriel fights those who don't have wings to fly
The chosen one, kills the monkeys that walk

Gleaming fires fall across the skies
Shadows are tainted with purple

Hundreds of angels fall from God's embrace
Blue and white, with golden locks

Only a few know the reason
Only a few and they're not human

Only a few know the destiny
Of the slaughter in Heaven,
Only a few know the destiny
Of the war of the skies

Gleaming fires fall across the skies
Shadows are tainted with purple

God's mercy saved them not:
As swallows assaulted by eagles,
Angels fall, by the hand of Gabriel
While his black people attempt
The Holy Father in His glorious Heaven

Blue children stand still between Good and Evil
While black angels murder with their swords

The Father quivers, the Mother cries

Mankind is the reason, ours the fault
Still, we hear the shouts from the skies
And we do not act, we're frozen still
Our scared glance points mesmerized
Towards the highest sky

No more angels to save us,
Fate now knocks at our door

Weak people, we were chosen to rule
The Paradise called Earth,
Because "the lowest will be the highest"
But the love of God is obscure,
So Gabriel came to us
Trying to be the chosen one,
He gets rid of our race,
Because we won his Paradise
