A call from the night
metal storming masses In the lies Battle cry Screaming to the night Oh no Summon up the legions To do our deeds Our legion's needs Are growing every day We're coming out tonight We come from the darker light Join your hands and pray Maybe you can all be saved Legions of the night Legions of the night Good god Legions of the night Can they hear your battle cry Cry out But what does it matter? There's no way to escape The hold we have on you Ohh ho Controlled by the master Infiltrate Penetrate Your little precious minds We're coming out tonight We come from the darker light Join your hands and pray Maybe you can all be saved Legions of the night Legions of the night Good god Legions of the night Can they hear your battle cry Scream loud Let the masses hear you Banging hard across the ground Shatter the darkest lights Oh no Heed the master's calling Congregate Celebrate The power you've obtained Good god Legions of the night Legions of the night Good god Can I hear your battle cry, yeah |

She is a native of the stormy skies, yeah
I, I caught a glimpse from the depths of my eyes Atop a black winged mare Casting a wicked stare She throws her head back And rides into the night She flies strange wings Behind a thin disguise She flies strange wings Still tears she cries Oh I, I followed her To the brink of dawn, yeah She, she took control of my very soul, yeah She's still a mystery In her arms I long to be I don't know why I turn and reach to the sky She flies strange wings Behind a thin disguise She flies strange wings Still tears she cries She flies strange wings Behind a thin disguise She flies strange wings Still tears she cries Strange Wings Behind a thin disguise Strange Wings Tears she cries |

Another sleepless night
A concrete paradise Sirens screaming in the heat Neon cuts the eye As the jester sighs At the world beneath his feet It's a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light Balanced on their knives Little parts of lives Such a strange reality Kill the unicorn Just to have its horn Soon he's just a fantasy It's a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light The jester takes his bows Slips into the crowd As the actors fade away Another death to mourn Another child is born Another chapter in the play It's a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light |

I don't know where the years have gone
Memories can only last so long Like faded photographs, forgotten songs And the things I never knew When the skin is thin, the heart shows through Please believe me what I tell you is true Where's the lights, turn 'em on again One more night to believe and then Another note for my requiem A memory to carry on The story's over when the crowds have gone All my friends have been crucified Made life a long suicide true Guess we never figured out the rules But I'm still alive, my fingers feel Gonna play on till the final reel's through And read the credits from a different view Where's the lights, turn 'em on again One more night to believe and then Another note for my requiem A memory to carry on The story's over when the crowds have gone When the crowds are gone When the crowds are gone And I'm all alone Playing the saddest song Now that the lights are gone Turn them on again One more time for me my friend Turn 'em on again I never wanted to know Never wanted to see I wasted my time Till time wasted me Never wanted to go Always wanted to stay 'Cause the persons I am Are the parts that I play So I plot and I plan Hope and I scheme To the lure of a night Filled with unfinished dreams I'm holding on tight To a world gone astray As they charge me for years I can no longer pay Turn 'em on again Turn 'em on again I never wanted to know Never wanted to see I wasted my time Till time wasted me I Never wanted to go Always wanted to stay 'Cause the persons I am Are the parts that I play The parts I play And the light Turn then off my friend And the ghosts Well just let them in Cause in the dark It's easier to see |

You got Libya you got the Russians
You got civilian planes crashing to the oceans Airports full of terrorists Nazi skins, anarchists When are you gonna learn Better listen to me you son of a bitch Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch You have no goddamn right to do those things you do The world would be a better place if we were rid of you Of rage and war Of rage and war Of rage and war Of rage and war Every country's got the bomb The scientists are working on Chemical weapons to melt the flesh With no source of defense Shoot me I'll shoot you Like there's nothing better to do Who's the loser in the end Better listen to me you son of a bitch Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch You have no goddamn right to do those things you do The world would be a better place if we were rid of you Of rage and war Of rage and war Of rage and war Of rage and war War broods in foreign lands Missiles launch upon command Islam, Lebanon, what the hell is going on Ambassadors who say they try Negotiating suicide Are they prepared to face the end Of rage and war Of rage and war Of rage and war Of rage and war |

On the sea
They heard the voices sing Through the storm The island's closing in They'd heard tales Of lives lost at sea Deserted beach just beyong their reach You're approaching the island of the Sirens Sirens Hungry for man tonight Sirens Sirens Claiming the sailors' lives Nine men made it to a shore A night of terror Lies neatly in store Who are those women? Are they real? Is this just a crazy dream? You're approaching the island of the Sirens Sirens Hungry for flesh tonight Sirens Sirens Claiming the sailors' lives Terror happens quickly Remains till the sailor are gone They vanished in the night Sirens singing their song Whoa--till they're gone... ALL RIGHT!! |

Sun sets on the moor
The cries of the hounds live forevermore Stalking the night They roam the countryside till morning's light Do you hear the hounds they call Scan the dark eyes aglow Through the bitter rain and cold They hunt you down Hunt you down They run wild and free Across the fields and valleys of their native land Nature's beasts deranged Beyond belief no one understands Do you hear the hounds they call Scan the dark eyes aglow Through the bitter rain and cold They hunt you down Hunt you down Can you see them in the night They've got you in their sight Can you hear the hounds they call Scan the dark eyes aglow Through the bitter rain and cold They hunt you down Hunt you down |

Far away
In a land caught between Time and space Where the books of life lay We fear This castle of stone The mountain king roams All alone in here But he's not the only one Lost inside Forever hidden from the sun Madness reigns In the Hall of the Mountain King Oh yeah His deep Dark eyes Keep watch on his kingdom And the mysteries that sleeps safe inside His hall His towers of stone Shall not be overthrown For eternity It is guarded by the king Insanity and the power that it brings Madness reigns In the Hall of the Mountain King Oh yeah In the Hall of the Mountain King Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Come with me Stay close by my side As the darkness of night closes in Don't fear In the thunder, it roars When the Mountain King calls all his children home To where I hid him we must run Refuge(?) here but I was forever on the run Madness reigns [my friends] In the Hall of the Mountain King Oh yeah In the Hall of the Mountain King Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
