As I sit upon these rocks above
I feel the waves crash upon the shore As the sea sprays on my glowing face I wish I could embrace the sea for evermore As I lay my head to sleep at night I dream the sea and me we flow as one But I'm a prisoner of the sands and no one understands these childish dreams An old man approaches me His feeble mind confusing to thee He speaks in riddles and rhymes Tales of an old witch that cast him from the sea But wait my eyes full of splendor or could this be some crazy old tale I look to his eyes for the answer I will my soul to the sea for Eternity I will my soul to the sea for Eternity And so the journey begins The pain and suffering Are your dreams worth this torment? You can deal Another hand But the light in the distance promises this the journeys end Great gods of olympus Great god Poseidon Accept this mortal never let Him return, For He's willed His soul to the sea For Eternity I will my soul to the sea for Eternity I will my soul to the sea for Eternity |

Oh black tower, what is your power,
What makes men run and hide, i have seen evil, in the dead of the night, as the demons they dance in my mind. Telling tales of horror, in the splendour of their torture, burning flames reach for the sky, and the gates of hell are open, whoaa, AAAH, AAAH, oh black tower, oh-ohoh, black tower. (mini-solo) blacktower oh black tower, why do you devour, the souls asleep in the night, casting your shadows, signs of no tomorrows, why must i fear for my life, telling tales of horror, in the splendour of their torture, burning flames reach for the sky, and the gates of hell are open. whoaa, AAAHH, AAHHHH oh black tower, oh-ohoh black tower (beast solo) black tower Now i know its the truth, all the evil endoured, they shall pay their dues, nightmares tell the truth, oh black tower, whoaa blacktower (mini-solo)blacktower. why must i take the chance, in my mind. |

endless alone lost at sea
it's a never ending chore to keep my head above these waters I've never feared before the sun has taken its toll the salt runs in my veins I've never feared before these waters I've grown to hate will I live to see tomorrow? or will I die in this watery depth? the sea is calling me my will to live is stronger than these tides could ever be the sea is calling me why won't I let these waters claim me victory? I long for the place where the winds and the tide tear at the shore but in the twilights of my dreams the fire rages on endless alone lost at sea it's a never ending chore to keep my head above these waters I've never feared before I long for the place where the winds and the tide tear at the shore but in the twilights of my dreams the fire rages on the sea is calling me my will to live is stronger than these tides could ever be the sea is calling why won't I let these waters claim me victory? |

Shrill of the horn screams my name
Pounding the ground the games begin The crowd they roar The blood it boils inside me I fear not you, You fear not me The swords are drawn And shimmering The time has come again To honor our king The gods have blessed This wicked game Fight we must and show no shame For the time has come again To feed our blood-thirsty king I look into your eyes Reflections of the sky A whisper on the wind As your soul says goodbye Red sands underneath my feet Stained by the blood I draw from thee Red sands as far as I can see Tainted these lands Stained by history What once was a whisper Now is an echo in my head The look on their faces As I stand in this sea of red I feel the evil rising Hear the mesmermizing Voice from hell Feel the evil rising Hear the mesmermizing Voice from hell |

I feel the distant stare
Of a watching eye Watching eyes of THE woodsman Quivers of death await me here I'm blind to their illusion - confusion Fletching of fowl Slips Through the wind Releasing their death with Their fingers My fate lies on a tensel line I must escape but there's Nowhere to hide The now exchanging roles In this theater of ill humor The understudy steals The stage with an encore performance One of the hunted - The tables have turned One of the hunted - There's nowhere to run One of the hun ted - The tables have turned One of the hunted - There's nowhere to run In the temples of nature I hear the laughter Just another victim on This lonely trail They show no emotion for This loss of life It reminds me of myself not long ago And the cries for life that I'd seem to ignore The cries for life are now My very own One of the hunted The tables have turned One of the hunted There's nowhere to run One of the hunted The tables have turned One of the hunted There's nowhere to run |

Take a look into the crystal
Take a look at what the Future may bring All around you is darkness As your shattered soul screams As I stand before the crystal See my life pass before me Stand up straight look into my Eyes tell me what do you see? Is there no gold at the end Of this rainbow? Is there no hope at the end Of the road? Will there be strength for The dreams that I've lived for Or will I just let go? Many years have passed me by Many trials of life i've survived stills the head wind blows my way It's getting harder everyday Is there no gold at the end Of this rainbow? Is there no hope at the end Of the road? Will there be strength for The dreams that I've lived for Or will I just let go? The fire within is smoldering The waters of life are raging In Once there was passion Desire to win |

His own war
It an aerial assault It's the war of the bird Strapped to his forearm Awaiting flight, He's blind as the night Set his mask free Piercing eyes point towards the sea A waiting white gull So swift in flight Flowing like the sea Shadowed by his wing spread As the bird takes to flight He is bound in ecstacy As the claws sink in deep He hears the bird start to scream As his life is taken from him Another trophy retrieved Warbird: Champion your King Warbird: Warriors on wings Warbird: Champion your King Warbird: Warriors on wings Sheltered eyes hide the deep blue sky Shackles hold the arching wings Until tomorrow imprisoned For tomorrow he will be free Taking time out to create His own war It an aerial assault It's the war of the bird Strapped to his forearm Awaiting flight He's blind as the night Set his mask free Piercing eyes point Towards the sea |

It was just another night
She held me in Her arms so tight We were dreaming with the Stars in our eyes But I never realized Like The wild in a cage Waiting to be free A bird on the ground With a broken wing You wanted to fly You had to be free But what about me? It was just another day You had so much to say Our love was still strong But you had to be free Like the wild in a cage Waiting to be free A bird on the ground With a broken wing You wanted to fly You had to be free But what about me? Now the sands of time Have buried the heartbreak You walked in with the wind Uncovered the memories You're holding your arms out to me Temptation is all I see I have to be strong You had to be free Cause it's all about me Like The wild in a cage Waiting to be free A bird on the ground With a broken wing You wanted to fly You had to be free But what about me? |

My entrance purely pleasure
For your riches I ask you not For I am the gleeman Who loves to sing And strike upon my golden harp So I bow before you o mighty king In the hopes you hear my song These feet have traveled far and wide In a life lived FOR THE song I claim no land my home For I know not where I'm from Traveled mountain peaks And valleys low In a life for the son of a bard Raise your harp my friend For the song that burns In your heart Sing of the heroes And the days that time forgot Sing of the days of the Earls and The Kings and the Knights That conquered great feats For these are the things That we all dream But only your eyes have seen A life for a lyric I've traveled these war lands deep Raging the knights in shining armor Surely death awaits the weak I've sailed the viking vessels Plunging the northern seas Crossing the blue horizon No land for the eye to see For the eye to see Raise your harp my friend For the song that burns In your heart Sing of the heroes And the days that time forgot Sing of the days of the Earls And the Kings and the Knights That conquered great feats For these are the things That we all dream But only your eyes have seen |
