1. Arise

Up from the ashes
Back from the depths
And the voiceless have their reason
Fire becomes flesh

2. Year Of The Phoenix

The sun shall arise,
my enemies yield,
purified by flames,
my true face unveiled

The time has come, the stars aligned
it's meant to be, i see the signs
out of the ashes, of beauty and power
a new beginning, this is the hour

Thirsty souls bound by the silence
shall be reborn by their own story
and when the voices have risen
we will seal this pact of resurrecting glory

This is the year of the phoenix
let all legends come to life
turn the silence into thunder
believe in one more wonder

Out of the old let the new arise
forged in fire stronger than demise

Another season has come and gone
there will be another one
with true intents we march forever
always striving to be better

Within the elusive dreamer
slumbers a beauty almost pale
now awakened and renewed
creating another haunting tale

This is the year of the phoenix
let all legends come to life
turn the silence into thunder
believe in one more wonder

Shall be reborn
by their own story

and when the voices
have risen
We'll seal the pact
of resurrecting glory

this is the year of the phoenix
that all legends come to life
turn the silence into thunder
believe in one more wonder (x2)

out of the old let
the new arise
forged in fire
stronger than demise

another season's come and gone
there'l be another one
with new intent we march forever
always trying to be better

within elusive dreaming
subversive beauty

creating another haunting tale

this is the year of the phoenix
that all legends come to life
turn the silence into thunder
believe in one more wonder

3. Ghost Light

Mind the bogs between night and day
will-o-the-wisp will lead you astray
dusk has come and shadows grow long
the hour of ghosts and their luring song

On your own you'll feel the fear
of a thousand years
What is right, what is wrong?
when you see the ghosts light in the marshes
Stand your ground till it's done

Elemental, spook or fairy
no one knows but wise is the wary

Traveler in the dark, you seek the treasure or the way
the flame of the ghost will guide you or tempt you
until the light of day
Traveler in the dark, you seek the treasure or the way
the walking fire will recede if you follow
until the light of day

Hear the unknown, it whispers your name
the glow so enchanting, so warm is the flame
those who have followed are said to be lost
you may solve its riddlebut at what cost?

In the dark all light seems kind nut not all doors
are there to enter
let it burn in solitude, an elusive guest
in lonely splendour

Elemental, spook or fairy
no one knows but wise is the wary

Traveler in the dark, you seek the treasure or the way
the flame of the ghost will guide you or tempt you
until the light of day
Traveler in the dark, you seek the treasure or the way
the walking fire will recede if you follow
until the light of day

Twilight songs from age to age
across the sea from land to land
skin shall shiver, hearts shall rage
when you feel the ghost lights chant

Traveler in the dark, you seek the treasure or the way
the flame of the ghost will guide you or tempt you
until the light of day

4. Touched By The Mara

A blink of an eye, and the scenery changed
no longer safe, surroundings rearranged

The nightmare has come
to give me uneasy sleep
I scream to be awake
but my dream's to deep

Another night in the land of fear
it draws me near
I'm no coward, I'm fighting and bleeding
the mare has found me once again
a storm rages in my mind
the dark has left me blind

When sanity is hanging by a thread
my own cries wake me, lying in my bed

After the battle
after all is said and done
I still feel the pain
an I the only one

Another night in the land of fear
it draws me near

Nightmare's coming, fangs are biting
cold hands clutching around my throat
nightmare's suond me, all around me
unspoken horror steals my covers

I'm no coward, I'm fighting and bleeding
the mare has found me once again
a storm rages in my mind
the dark has left me blind

5. A Beautiful Death

See what stands before us
legions of men
basking in this moment
prepared we make our stand

Arrows let fly
you can not see the sun
as they crest it blacks out
hope that we might live
warriors cry
we will not retreat
we will light the way
we will fight our way
to the end

This life is fleeting
no words can express
how we feel in the now
as the darkness consumes
we all have sworn
that there's no turning back
we will fight
to a beautiful death

Side by side in battle
the phalanx is our strength
my brothers blood is my blood
our enemy is tyranny

Arrows let fly
you can not see the sun
as they crest it blacks out
hope that we might live
warriors cry
we will not retreat
we will light the way
we will fight our way
to the end

Instinct takes over
extinction is not sought
the fire that burns in us
magic nor pride
our sacrifice
will be carved in forever
we'll live on
through a beautiful death

Arrows let fly
you can not see the sun
as they crest it blacks out
hope that we might live
warriors cry
we will not retreat
we will light the way
we will fight our way
to the end

6. Legacy In A Rhyme

Come fly away with me
Close your eyes and find
A place to dream, dreamland reality

That's why I'm here
That's where I bring
Oceans of creation
Haunt over haunt me

Memory they I did not suffer
And the pain won't hurt me anymore
Memory and I am forever
Again by everything and I still to my love
Let me bleed for you

I'm in hell to make a sacrifice
I held all the purity with the bloody knife

What I have seen
Where I have been
A land that I create
Miracle indeed

Memory they I did not suffer
And the pain won't hurt me anymore
Memory and I am forever
Again by everything and I still to my love
Let me bleed for you

No time to waste
Only time to treasure
And I do every single day for every hour
Dreaming dream of memory
Words goodbye
My love, my life
A ghost in their eyes

No time to waste
Only time to treasure
I creating memories that may last forever
Sounds and the pictures that I grow through time
My love, my life
Never seen in their eyes

7. Caramon's Poem

God has a twin
close to the twilight hour
My brothers body
So weak and thirsting for power

The gift was cruel
an uneven start, meant to tear us apart
but in our lives there must be a purpose

I will gaze to the future
let I be revealed, no mans fate is sealed
but I wonder what will become of us

In the land of dragons we walk side by side
love not returned, trust never earned
but brothers till the end
In the land of dragons we walk side by side
love not returned, trust never earned
but brothers till the end

Power of the body and force of the mind
like the book and the story-teller we are two of a kind

I feel your rage my brother
our blood is the same, in our kin lies no shame
you must rein your thirst for power, before it's too late

What we do defines who we are
in this lies the beauty and the beast
don't let your hatred be unleashed

In the land of dragons we walk side by side
love not returned, trust never earned
but brothers till the end
In the land of dragons we walk side by side
love not returned, trust never earned
but brothers till the end

8. The Highland

Higland green you know my heart
a life under open skies
the scent so different out here in the wild
a land so fair where the free eagle flies

I could walk here a thousand years
your beauty will never grow old
the rain that caresses my face
will never make me feel cold
inside I will never feel cold

Stranded in a fairytale
where's the lady of the lake
the white deer that eludes the hunter
are they here, I wonder

Higland green you know my heart
nothing can ever tear us apart
longing for your simple ways
fill my dreams, steal my days

Call me a clansman if I am of worth
a child of bygone days
a promise of serenity
is what you give to me
to me

For my your thunder is a friend
and lightning so innocent

Gladly I'm heeding your call
my fortune is always to see
our ways are connected
an elusive place deep in me
a place deep in me

Stranded in a fairytale
where's the lady of the lake
the white deer that eludes the hunter
are they here, I wonder

Higland green you know my heart
nothing can ever tear us apart
longing for your simple ways
fill my dreams, steal my days

Call me a clansman if I am of worth
a child of bygone days
a promise of serenity
is made for me

From the mountain top
to the valleys so deep
your promise cleanses me
it is mine to keep

Higland green you know my heart
nothing can ever tear us apart
longing for your simple ways
fill my dreams, steal my days

9. Shadow Of The Beast

Lurking, breathing, watching, hunting
his home is the shadow world
a taste for flesh of man
a cunning being with a plan

He will command your final hour
from his hunger, demon power

Sinner or saint, it's all the same
the taste of your flesh is what you can blame
this beast has no conscience, only pure will
the only religion, the taste of the kill

Executioner, punisher
wolf or demon, or message from God
the eyes of the beast are greedy indeed
don't try to explain what you can not
Executioner, punisher
wolf or demon, or message from God
the eyes of the beast are greedy indeed
don't try to explain what you can not

Many beasts suffered an ill fate
another mindless savage hunt
pure revenge by the hand of man
to find the beast of Gйvaudan

Eye for an eye, lie after lie
hunters seeking recognition

You can not catch a shadow
you can not slay what you can not find
the land holds a secret born of the soil
revealed only in the dark of the mind

Executioner, punisher
wolf or demon, or message from God
the eyes of the beast are greedy indeed
don't try to explain what you can not
Executioner, punisher
wolf or demon, or message from God
the eyes of the beast are greedy indeed
don't try to explain what you can not

Three years of terror
finished as they started
an elusive guest has come and gone
awakened fear in everyone
a story told for centuries
