There are clouds on the horizon Shifting colours, heavy rain High above the roaring thunder Shooting bullets through your brain
There's something wicked left behind A baleful sight, a coming A sinister state of your minds
Behold the skies, the port of heaven Take the stairway down to hell The gate is open, lift the curse We set aside our dreams and visions We are one we will unite At the Threshold of the universe we will rise
Late at night they heard the sirens From a place so far away Allied forces, mighty brethren In a vesture of decay
They are the legions of the night Turning darkness into... Turning the dark into light
Behold the skies, the port of heaven Take the stairway down to hell The gate is open, lift the curse We set aside our dreams and visions We are one we will unite At the Threshold of the universe
Solo: Stefan
Behold the skies, the port of heaven Take the stairway down to hell The gate is open, lift the curse We set aside our dreams and visions We are one we will unite At the Threshold of the universe
You danced with the devil, Now your soul is bruised and scarred. There ain't no pride and dignity: We've been down the rusty boulevard. You lived your life, Thought you'd be immortalized. The moral of your story: What goes up must come back down.
Fire burns! The fire burns forever. Fire burns! The fire burns forever more.
A moment of silence Just before you hit the stage: This is your day of reckoning To pay back all the dues and turn the page. You hit rock bottom And you stood the count to ten. Came back to harvest glory, Now your star will shine again.
Fire burns! The fire burns forever. Fire burns! The fire burns forever more.
Fire burns! The fire burns forever. Fire burns! The fire burns forever more.
'Cause every step, The light races follow. 'Cause every move we make Might be our last mistake.
Fire burns! The fire burns forever. Fire burns! The fire burns forever more.
Fire burns! The fire burns forever. Fire burns! The fire burns forever more.
Last night I had a vivid dream, I found a place where nothing's what it seems, I'm bound to walk this earth alone, I am a hunter and the heir to the throne,
The chase of blood and sweet revenge, It keeps on hammering in my head, The urge to kill is getting stronger, I'm south of heaven, north of hell, My final place to dwell,
Surrender your soul, Surrender your pride, Please enter my dream, Find your natural high, Have nothing to fear, Cause your rebirth is near,
The bat awakens deep inside, No where to run for my eternal bride, And when the darkness comes around, I come alive, cause for your sweet blood I am bound,
I taste your blood so bitter sweet, Come ease my pain get on your knees, You know true love is meant to be, Forever is now what it seems, This is your final scream,
Surrender your soul, Surrender your pride, Please enter my dream, Find your natural high, Got nothing to fear, Cause your rebirth is near,
So you are born again, On a far higher plane, In my dark neverland you're part of the game, Forever we are, forever we'll be, We're forever free,
(Solo: Stephan) (Solo: Oscar)
Surrender your soul, Surrender your pride, Please enter my dream, Find your natural high, Have nothing to fear, Cause your rebirth is near,
It's been a long cold winter, widespread snowfall, raging storms Caught in winds delusions, of our heart and soul He came down from the mountains, into our own frozen world Spoke of revolution, fed us with his words A sacred man, from the other side He gave us something to believe in How could we be so blind?
His right hand gave us freedom, while the other stole the pride Thought he had the answers, standing by his side Tales of a world, not so far away We got entangled in his vows How could we be so blind?
When the sun and moon unite Fear Dark Winged messenger, dread his darkened words
[Solo: Stefan]
A graven image shattered, a meltdown of our wonderland As the sun rised slowly, we tried to understand A sacred heart, lost prosperity But we found a way back home From dusk came clarity
When the sun and moon unite Fear the Dark Winged messenger, dread his darkened words
When the sun and moon unite Fear the Dark Winged messenger, dread his darkened words
As I open up my eyes I see a face I don't recognize If the mirror tells the truth Then who the hell am I? I scan the surface high and low What arises from above Everything I can't detect Not a thing I will neglect
Countdown, I'm coming through And the vengeance, and the taker And the one, that shining sun
Shadow Empire Shadow Empire The rise of the machine Shadow Empire Shadow Empire They rise up from their graves, to steal our dreams
I see the world in infrared Hear the voices of the dead I'm half man and half machine The essence of your dream Soon the judgment bell will toll We'll take back everything they stole I'm the judge, the hammer fall Liberty and metal for all
Countdown, your time has come And the vengeance, you're in danger You're the one, let justice be done
Shadow Empire Shadow Empire The rise of the machine Shadow Empire Shadow Empire They rise up from their graves, to steal our vivid dreams
In my heart there is always winter Can not rest until I found the master key The master key of trust In my mind the arctic wind blows Can not sleep I can not rest before the dawn brings back the light Light of day
[Solo: Stefan]
Shadow Empire Shadow Empire The rise of the machine Shadow Empire Shadow Empire They rise up from their graves, to steal our vivid dreams
There's silence, in the dark There's the fire, ready to start Stone pages, inked by fury The exception of the damned
They are calling, out my name Come join us and carry the flame Our precious time, is standing still When the future meets the past
No freedom, no glory There's no future, no past
This will be our one last wish, one last dream When you follow the masses, or follow your own One last chance, one last dream Before your future will be, Carved In Stone
I remember, what they said I still hear them, inside me head The legions of damnation They keep calling out my name
The wind blows, forever But the time standing still
This will be our one last wish, one last dream When you follow the masses, or follow your own One last chance, one last dream Before your future will be, Carved In Stone
Knock, knock on my door Please revoke what you're asking for
One last wish, one last dream When you follow the masses, or follow your own One last chance, one last dream Before your future will be...
One last wish, one last dream (Carved In Stone) When you follow the masses, or follow your own One last chance, one last dream (Carved In Stone) Before your future will be, Carved In Stone
Once, there was a time when we were standing back To back against the whole conception Once, we had it all, the world was a precious home Times were changing fast, our dreams were fading black The darkness fell on our creation Time was running out, we were falling one by one
We live by honor, we fight for freedom, we die but you can't slay our pride
Behind these walls we deem, take hold of the dream To live our lives as we please Metal Genocide No fear, we know the end is near One day we will retaliate, Genocide!
Fall, mighty Babylon your might is declining fast You're on your knees, repent your sinning Far, beyond the realms of hell we are born again
We live by honor, we fight for freedom, we die but you can't slay our pride
Behind these walls we deem, take hold of the dream To live our lives as we please Metal Genocide No fear, we know the end is near One day we will retaliate, Genocide!
[Solo:Stefan]
Behind these walls we deem, take hold of the dream To live our lives as we please Metal Genocide No fear, we know the end is near One day we will retaliate
Behind these walls we deem, take hold of the dream To live our lives as we please Metal Genocide No fear, we know the end is near One day we will retaliate, Genocide!
The gate is closed, the sky is burning Dark clouds are closing in A world at war, no revelation could help predict a mankind fall Somewhere above, the unpolluted skies, we'll be resurrected What have we done? We paid the highest price No shelter for the undeserving masses
Standing in line for a final journey Into space and beyond A final sigh, a breath of hope we gather, heed the eternal call Counting the stars, we pull the shortest straw, life is fading rapidly Nothing remains, a withered devil's claw Soul survivors picking up the pieces
Titan Even the dark has a silver lining Titan Shining bright so far beyond the sun
So this is a new beginning So far away, so far away
We leave the past behind us No turning back, no turning back
Titan Even the dark has a silver lining Titan, Titan Shining bright so far beyond the sun Titan Even the dark has a silver lining Titan, Titan Shining bright so far beyond the sun
We will fly We're flying into space Fly, fly away We're flying into space
