Lord of fate, I feel you deep inside my brain...
Is it really just a dream or the urge to survive? (...And during an odyssey through the back of my mind A vision appeared to make me realize Who holds the key to my fate...) |

Babylon
by Edguy Yeah... In a world of hate pollution we can't breathe anymore. We've to leave and this time you, the pawn, have won. On our quest for nowhere island we set off to the sea. You call surrender what we call a calm before the storm... Pounding thoughts of home they make me know: "I will return! I don't live my life for you, it's too short to get burned. Stand upright and face the wind!" Time to go back where I belong... No one can prevend me from raising towers in Babylon. You only can love me if you can convert me to attitudes of your brain. You blame us for doing things that you don't know. You tell me what you'd do if you were me but you are you and I am I Lucky you, but this time I say: "No!" Pounding thoughts of home they make me know: "I will return!". I don't want to hurt you but you'll have to learn: You are you and I am I!!! Ooohhh... Oh yeah... and like the vision of my urge to salvation told me, I built up a tower to widen my horizon, whatever they might say |

Longing for silence...
"Always faster" is the way that we go. Not a little patience... Higher, farer, better we grow. The beast is rising. It's tantalizing those who are taking the time. Alienation... A revelation... Straight to the end of the line... The cold Chill you feel is no dream it's for real. We don't follow! Fly! Riding away... Rising today... No we don't play your headless game! We are alive, don't say goodbye. Fly! Riding away... Rising today... No we don't play your headless game! We are alive, don't say goodbye. Cast out from Eden... You don't like what we are in your eyes. We're leading the treason on the race you run, the way of your life. I am danger, I'm a stranger cause I don't give in to your call. And not until she is satisfied we can come and explode and we fall!!! We're blowing the frame of your headless game: We don't follow! Fly! Riding away... Rising today... No we don't play your headless game! We are alive, don't say goodbye. Fly! Riding away... Rising today... No we don't play your headless game! We are alive, don't say goodbye. |

Land Of The Miracle
by Edguy Blinded by the fire and the sorrow of the day, I come knocking at your door to dry the tears away, the eventide is calling me to take a look into your eyes, pull me on and make me mesmerized! Riding on the wings of light, dreaming dreams and holding tight: leaving all my sorrow far behind, your eyes are the gate To the land of the miracle where our love can make us fly, make us fly, in the land of the miracle, we can find a reason why and how we can fly. Open up the book up madness read the page of life! Who's the one to tell you what to do and how to rise! And if the stars would fall one day I'd climb up the sky To put them back for you to save your smile. Riding on the wings of light, dreaming dreams and holding tight: leaving all my sorrow far behind, your eyes are the gate |

Wake Up The King - Edguy
Soldier of sunlight Welcome to the kingdom of ignorance Where all the tears of ages tell their tales No one dares to break the spell No one dares to fly Time is running out you can't deny How many times Have you found yourself under the influence? How many times has a mirror mad you cry? Now it's time to stand upright Tear down your inner door The birth of yourself can't wait no more In your mind there's a battle raging on Try to find what you're fighting for Wake up the king From his sleep in your fantasy Wake up the king Let him be all you ecstasy Tears flow to rivers And rivers to oceans of broken dreams Have you ever heard of tears of joy? Show yourself a sense of life Open up your eyes Let your heartbeat be your best advice In your eyes I can see the fire burn Realize, now it is your turn Wake up the king From his sleep in your fantasy Wake up the king Let him be all you ecstasy Look at the mountain, look at the sun Feel all the pure energy Birds fly and whisper, call out your name They belong to you and you're the King of a kingdom, light in your hand Look at what you have never seen Walk on a rainbow, look to the stars Cry it out and make your dream come true Wake up the king From his sleep in your fantasy Wake up the king Let him be all you ecstasy Wake up the king From his sleep in your fantasy Wake up the king Let him be all you ecstasy Can't you see the crown? (...and the vision continued: "There is less sense in complaining than looking for your skills...") |

Falling Down
by Edguy [music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet] "No brain is left but here I got one more nail!" The master's final word When he created a 'hero' like you Born to deride and to hurt You don't try to find a reason why You don't have a brain (You don't wanna have a brain) You are just a masquerade, just a nice facade In a snob parade, I know (You don't know) You don't have to wait, I'll be too late When you meet to jump off the edge You don't have to wait, I'll be too late When you meet to jump off the edge I'm not like you and I don't wanna be Follow the times to a place you can't see Don't call in doubt what the fashing may bring And you'll be falling down Hammer the nail into what you don't know Keep on believing you're strong You got your pride and I got my peace There's no sense in proving you wrong We will fight just to stand upright We are here to dare (We will fight, we are here to dare) Guts to sail against the stream, to defend the dream To do what we feel, I know (We will fight) You don't have to wait, I'll be too late When you meet to jump off the edge You don't have to wait, I'll be too late When you meet to jump off the edge I'm not like you and I don't wanna be Follow the times to a place you can't see Don't call in doubt what the fashing may bring And you'll be falling down Ooohhh You don't have to wait, I'll be too late When you meet to jump off the edge You don't have to wait, I'll be too late When you meet to jump off the edge I'm not like you and I don't wanna be Follow the times to a place you can't see Don't call in doubt what the fashing may bring And you'll be... (...they listen, they follow...and they fall...) |

Arrows Fly
by Edguy Faking the truth in their eyes Smile but they really deride Never give you shelter Lady all alone, naked to the bone Make you bleed and melt into tears Down on your knees you will see What you could be Raise the power in your eyes Make us rise to make us say Down and alone - arrows fly Breaking on my soul Down and alone - arrows fly I remember times When arrows hit me causing pain All alone I've found my soul And now my soul is sane The night has come down on the land I wanna reach out for her land But she takes another Lonesome in my room, staring at the moon Treated like a bother Down on my knees I have seen What I can be Raise the power in my eyes Makes me rise to make me say Down and alone - arrows fly Breaking on my soul Down and alone - arrows fly I remember times When arrows hit me causing pain All alone I've found my soul And now my soul is sane (Guitar Solo) Down and alone - arrows fly Breaking on my soul Down and alone - arrows fly I remember times When arrows hit me causing pain All alone I've found my soul And now my soul is sane |

Holy Shadows
by Edguy You're a child of an old illusion Can't you hear it cry? You live your life to the exclusion Of what they call a lie The touch of evil it is getting stronger You'd better hide in the daylight Or you won't stand the temptation no longer And you will ask if your way is right Do not ask the preacher why All your fears keep it alive Waiting for the end of time Holy shadows, always follow Holy chains on holy shadows When you are eve then I am temptation I am the words you're not allowed to say The animal of their revelation 'Cause I can take your fears away They make you blind and they want you to follow "Free love is sin! Desire's slavery!" My wicked kiss on your virgin lips Will be a pleasant way you'll see it Do not ask the preacher why All your fears keep it alive Waiting for the end of time Holy shadows, always follow Holy chains on holy shadows Let's get down on the floor You'll be screaming for more When out bodies collide I'll make you feel alright Never give in when they call it sin Waiting for the end of time Holy shadows, always follow Holy chains on holy shadows Holy shadows, always follow Holy chains on holy shadows Holy shadows, always follow Holy chains on holy shadows (...father, forgive her for giving in to her lust, for being not able to stand the temptation...and for enjoying it!...) |

Another Time - Edguy
The rain outside reminds me of your voice Like everything I hear since you're not there And distance doesn't leave me any choice Than to meet you in a dream we still can share In my dream I see your smile But when I open up my eyes I can't see anyone Now that you have gone away I wonder if we'll reach the day That you will realize that we belong I can't take it for granted I remember your smile I can't take it for granted 'Cause I know that our life is in line For another day or life in another time In another time, in another time The pressure and the fear it made you blind You thought you have to give some burden away But are you really sure if it's required? Don't you want to find out another day? In my dream I see your smile But when I open up my eyes I can't see anyone Now that you have gone away I wonder if we'll reach the day That you will realize that we belong I can't take it for granted I remember your smile I can't take it for granted 'Cause I know that our life is in line For another day or life in another time I can't take it for granted - I can't take it I remember your smile - I remember I can't take it for granted - I can't take it 'Cause I know that our life is in line For another day or life in another time In another time, in another time.. |

I am the madness carrying the torch
Lighting the wheat in your fields I am the eyes staring out of the dark I am the war of your yields When you give response away I grow I am more of you than you might know Burning down, burning down It's a story of deceivers Burning down, burning down Put the blame on the unbeliever I am the vision that comes to your mind When you denounce without regret "God" is the word in the bible you say I am the word that you spread When you give response away I grow I am more of you than you might know Burning down, burning down It's a story of deceivers Burning down, burning down Put the blame on the unbeliever I'm born and I lead the weak into the fire "No more pain" is what you claim While you have found your wicked desire Hahaha... Burning down, burning down Put the blame on the unbeliever Burning down, burning down It's a story of deceivers Burning down, burning down Put the blame on the unbeliever Burning down, burning down It's a story of deceivers (...and we still chase the evil - not realizing that it lurks inside of us...) |

Theater Of Salvation
by Edguy "I've heard voices in my dream. Made me stand up, helped me see. Aaah... Oohhh... Visions called him to awake his mind, to find his horizon and find out what may be behind. (vision:) "Take what you need, you can find in the back of your soul! Wake up the king in yourself to be mighty and bold!" Seasons of doubt, fear and silent desires of life have gone by. Visions have called back my longing for freedom tonight. Made me sigh... Wasting my life till the day that the voice has appeared... Made me see: I am the one that can make it through times of despair; I am free!" They built up a symbol of warning to give me fear, to keep me away from paradise although it's so near, expecting I don't take a look at what is behind: Freedom calling... Take a look at the open gate! Walk on and don't be afraid! Free your mind in what they call it's the heart of temptation! ...oh... Go the way! Take a look at the open gate! Walk on and don't be afraid! Free your mind in what they call it's the heart of temptation! Night after night I remembered the word of the priest: "Thou shalt not! Never give in to the promises made by the beast, so help me god! Never give in to temptation or you'll burn in hell a long, long time! Forever-eternal-salvation is what I can sell if you stay blind!!!" But I wanna know what lies behind the gate of their hell. And I wont believe all the stories that they always tell. I got the mind to find out what is right and what's wrong. Freedom calling... Queen of mine I long for you. Tell me why to wait to find our joy! It's your wait for heaven's door, your fear that makes them grow and let you forget today. I'll never go and I'll stay on your side. They'll never know what I give to you is a piece of paradise. Heaven can wait! Now I'm living! Heaven can wait forevermore. Heaven can wait! I am to live like I want to also before I'll die. Heaven can wait! You can't thrill me! Heaven can wait, we dance till we die! Heaven can wait! Welcome to the THEATER OF SALVATION "Hallelujah, hallelujah!" I hear the man in black, his "Hallelujah, hallelujah!" He tries to keep me back. No! "Hallelujah, hallelujah!" Lock up the gates to wisdom Hallelujah, hallelujah... Too late! I've found the kingdom... Hallelujah, hallelujah! I see a band of angels. Hallelujah, hallelujah! Freedom calling... Hallelujah, hallelujah! I do not fear the stories. Hallelujah, hallelujah! Freedom calling me... Don't you see it? Don't you feel it? Freedom calling... |
