Charge into the vein Like a needle for the pain Thunderbolts clashing down A new sound across the land
Force we are the pawns Conveying a new dawn Hear the screams, feel the force In a symphony of steel
Across the universe Embracing all mankind
There's something in our hearts worth fighting for Some Secrets better left untold And when the time has come for us to die We'll take the Secrets to the grave
No, here they stand The resistance, hand in hand When you think we are gone We will rise a brand new dawn
Across the universe Embracing all mankind
There's something in our hearts worth fighting for Some Secrets better left untold And when the time has come for us to die We'll take the Secrets to the grave
Charge, hear the screams It's the fear of the unseen Force, no remorse It's a symphony of steel
Across the universe Embracing all mankind You can't break a metal heart And it's far too wild to tame
There's something in our hearts worth fighting for Some Secrets better left untold And when the time has come for us to die We'll take the Secrets to the grave
Countdown, descending down to zero Bursting into flames Can't you see the coming of a hero On this enchanting day
So stand up and be counted In the solar glance, in the desert sand No longer the hunted United we are till the day we fall
A chain unbreakable Every link is allied to our mighty vow
We're blood bound, we aim for the sun The luminous moon will take us high over ground We're blood bound, collecting the stars We hold a power that is greater than all We're blood bound
Watch out, the heathens all around us Always watch your back We've got a lust for freedom Whatever they say, we know we'll stay
We are indestructible And no matter what happens, we will rise above
We're blood bound, we aim for the sun The luminous moon will take us high over ground We're blood bound, collecting the stars We hold a power that is greater than all We're blood bound
Look into my eyes Tell me what is hidden deep inside Chains about to break It's the everlasting freedom for us all
We're blood bound, we aim for the sun The luminous moon will take us high over ground We're blood bound, collecting the stars We hold a power together
We're blood bound, we aim for the sun The luminous moon will take us high over ground We're blood bound, collecting the stars We hold a power together (blood bound) Power forever (blood bound), power We're blood bound
You see me but I'm not there Like the calm before the storm You hear me, I'm everywhere In the wind and in the rain
Feel me in every breeze I'm the chill inside your spine I'm burning you, start to freeze As you slowly turn around
And down in your hole Solitary darkness rule You are forlorn 'Cause justice will be mine
Prowling the night Justice calling, we'll track you down Justice calling, ready to strike Justice calling, breaking the chains Hammer of justice seeking his revenge
Dead man walking by There's a void inside his eyes Judgement, a final sigh Hear the screams electrified
As the mirror turns blank And your essence fades away Your chapter's closed Sealed with thunderbolts
Prowling the night Justice calling, we'll track you down Justice calling, ready to strike Justice calling, breaking the chains Strike with the hammer of justice Justice calling, we'll track you down Justice calling, ready to strike Justice calling, breaking the chains Hammer of justice seeking his revenge
Sitting in my room, staring at the wall, I can't believe it's happening Once so wonderful, now, life's a twisted kind of reality, a fantasy Don't know where to begin
Saw your love for me vanish in a single moment of stupidity Nightmare this may be, but it is not a dream, ooh I want to scream, a broken heart still bleeds
Never ever talk, never ever smile Knowing that my life won't be the same Never ever touch, never ever feel I will never hear you call my name again
In my dreams I see, see you come to me, a memory of times of old Waking up, I realize Hell's as cool as ice and the touch of sin did get me in Nothing burns like the cold Never ever talk, never ever smile Knowing that my life won't be the same Never ever touch, never ever feel I will never hear you call my name As we sin, so do we suffer I've fallen from grace, want to turn back time and make it undone
Solo: Stefan
Never ever talk, never ever smile Knowing that my life won't be the same Never ever touch, never ever feel I will never hear you call my name Never ever talk, never ever smile All I see a future full of fear Never ever touch, never ever feel I can never whisper in your ear I'm sorry
So where were you when darkness came to life? Inside a dream that controlled your inner plight Take a look at me, you've ruined what we had Inner visions, infrared, it drives me mad
Out of control The system mounted on the wall For every soul there's no way out
In this world where nothing lives The walls are caving in, life's a sin In this world we have to give Before we all can see the Templar Flame
Do you believe surveillance is the cure? The remedy for our insanity Take a look around and tell me what you see Souls walking planlessly like you and me
In infrared Controlling what is left to see Awake the dead, there's no way out
In this world where nothing lives The walls are caving in, life's a sin In this world we have to give Before we all can see the Templar Flame
You see the words - speak In infrared - speak You see the words Damn the machine - speak Speak of the flame… The Templar Flame
The moon is full, you cannot see There's something in the air Sound asleep, you're in too deep Protecting your own lair
The lion roar into the night Yet another foe to slay Who are you that I see right through? The hunter or the prey?
Too late to hear the final warning No one can defy the reaper Voices - twisted Calling out your name Voices - twisted Calling for you
Ain't no reason for the rhyme Take the black, ready to attack Take the black Face to face, you bide your time Take the black, ready to attack Take the black
You, though you had it all in there In your little bag of tricks Insanity won't set you free As you cross the river Styx
You're out of time, your bridges burn In the undying flame We'll nail you down to the ground For you to bear the shame
Too late to hear the final warning No one can defy the reaper Voices - twisted Calling out your name Voices - twisted Calling for you
Ain't no reason for the rhyme Take the black, ready to attack Take the black Face to face, you bide your time Take the black, ready to attack
Voices - twisted Calling out your name Voices - twisted Calling for you
Ain't no reason for the rhyme Take the black, ready to attack Take the black Face to face, you bide your time Take the black, ready to attack
Ain't no reason for the rhyme Take the black, ready to attack Take the black Face to face, you bide your time Take the black, ready to attack
Words unspoken, sworn in secrecy A burning flame for the ones who believe The prophecy
Revelations from the sun as of the moon In seven nights we became history The prophecy
On a cold dark night We set our sails to search for land so far away Searching for the truth
There's a howl in the wind On this mystic trail of water we sail on The source of youth
And the storm breaks loose on the seven seas Tag on the signs on the mounting sun
Northern light is shining on for us Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow Setting the sails into the future Leave all your fears and your sorrows
From the mountain side Came a twisted wind, it brought us new insight Whispering these words
Come in the midst you'll see Said a voice, I thought it was the prophecy The secrecy unheard
And on the violent sea there's tranquillity We saw the signs on the mountain side
Northern light is shining on for us Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow Setting the sails into the future Leave all your fears and your sorrows
A secret passage never to be found In front of us a delusion of sight The prophecy
From the mountains and the rivers down below A silent breeze, there's a wail in the wind The prophecy
We've come from a land so far away We bow down to the words you pray Storming down the mountain side No place to go, no place to hide
Here we stand under of cover the moonlight Oh, the prophecy was bound to fail Here we are, nowhere to be found We're trapped in another world and the journey's just begun
Ah, ah, ah…
Northern light is shining on for us Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow Setting the sails into the future Leave all your fears and your sorrows
Northern light is shining on for us Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow Setting the sails into the future Leave all your fears and your sorrows
Countdown, descending down to zero Bursting into flames Can't you see the coming of a hero On this enchanting day
So stand up and be counted In the solar glance, in the desert sand No longer the hunted United we are till the day we fall

Icy water on my hands the roar of thunder everywhere I close my eyes, I realize I'm far away from home in the Twilight Zone, the shadows mourn Out of the night came the shining ... the Metal Age
Ivory towers conceal my eyes caught up in a long lost time Where no one speaks, at liberty, they guard their destiny to forge the steel, they will reveal out of the night came the shining ... the Metal Age
I'm falling into the breach I'm a stranger in this land, I'm falling
Standing strong, the brave and the elder with scars seldom forgotten, above it all Come with us, offering shelter from the icy wind that shiver come with us to the twilight zone, oh yeah
You're welcome to the Metal Age
Hear the bell begin to chime the moonlit skies burst out in flames The time has come, it must be done, let the power be unchained By the force within, let the war begin
Out of the night came the shining ... the Metal Age
