Close my eyes starting dreaming See a vision filled with wings Head my way Feel the presence of unknown power Telling me to come This is the only way
It's dream within dream Lost and lonely Don't get pulled by the devil's hand
Silent screamer filled with fear As the night time shapes a face Then disappears Scared forever into believing That your mind has met the Prince of whom you see
It's dream within dream Lost and lonely Don't get fooled by the Devil's hand
It's dream within dream Fool forever, don't get fooled Forever Don't get fooled, be the devil
In your eyes The evil spirit rises Blinded by the dark You fall into shame As the reaper takes you Down the spiral stairway You share the evil pit With satan's name
Nightmare it's got me runnin' Nightmare it's calling you Nightmare it's got me runnin' Nightmare it's calling you
It's dream within a dream Lost and lonely Don't get fooled, be the devil
It's dream within a dream Lost forever Don't get fooled
It's got me running It's just a nightmare It's got me running It's got me running
I'll play your game But if you lose you're gonna have to pay the price Broken chains, like a prisoner free at last The fear inside just up and died Time will tell if i am wrong
It won't be too long You think I'm chasing shadows In the dark Well I'm not born to lose I'm not born to lose
You curse my name, as you turn and walk away, from view It won't be too long You don't scare me cos you're Hard to see and it's time That you were gone It won't be too long
You think I'm chasing shadows In the dark Well I'm not born to lose
You think I'm chasing shadows In the dark What you gonna do about it now What you gonna do about it now
It won't be too long It won't be too long It won't be too long
You think I'm chasing shadows In the dark What you gonna do about it now What you gonna do about it now
Winged with steel they fill the air The soldiers of fortune will ride In the sights of the enemy's gun Those who have taken their oaths tonight Are well prepared they know they'll Do or die even if it's suicide
Let's take a chance As the skies will Burn tonite Wasted lives and spirits run free On the wings of no return
Dressed to kill where eagles dare The fate of a nation's at hand Is this the answer to the prayers Come the dawn, thru the blood Red skies return with tears In their eyes, and they Recall thou shalt not kill
And in the morning They'll take a hero's bow And make the ever lasting flight
Hear them calling up above all Across the skies Hear them calling up above from The other side
Here them call!
Let's take a chance As the skies will burn tonite Wasted lives and spirits run free On the wings of no return
Let's take a chance As the skies will burn tonite Wasted lives and spirits run free On the wings of no return
Livin' in the fast lane is easy Till you run out of road Friends will turn to strangers When you're out of control A slip of the tongue when It's done, is often hard to See it thru So never let your words be lies Or they'll come looking for you
It's a hard life to love
For the price of glory you left And threw your fortunes away Never really cared too much for The job or the pay
You're standing in the rain with No cover but you never complain You're an angry young man face to Face but your mirrors insane It's a hard life to love
I'm simply refusing a part in your world And I see how it burns See how it burns And you're simply denying the fact That you're blind and I see no more I see red - I only see red
Think of all the times I was Hurting but you felt no pain Think of all the lies you told me Again and again And still you see the truth From those who continue to lie And now you're seeking life From those who are living to die It's a hard life to love
I'm simply refusing a part in your world And I see how it burns See how it burns And you're simply denying the fact That you're blind and I see no more I see red - I only see red
Livin' in the fast lane ain't easy When you run out of road Friends will turn to strangers When you've nowhere to go Don't give a damn when you're lost Cause you'll die from it all Laws were made to be broken And you do it for the thrill of it all It's a hard life to love It's a hard life to love
There's no end - there's no beginning To the old man's story Does he still remember me From lives gone by Oh I see his spirit rising Upon the back of time I've got nowhere to hide Will he keep a place for me
He is the king of all kings The keeper of light He holds eternity's wings
In his eyes an ocean's burning Swollen seas of tears Troubled mind the beating War drums in his ears No one ever hears his warning Am I the one he calls When they tell me they're afraid Some say I'll be put away
He is the king of all kings The keeper of light He holds eternity's wings My blood will spill my blood
My blood will spill my blood
In the wisdom of the prophet's Never ending tale Open up the eyes Within your mind, he says Crowned in his ancient glory There's a king within us all Some will say it's all in vain That he doesn't have a name
He is the king of all kings The keeper of light He holds eternity's wings
There's a man who sees all there is to see What the future holds for all As the days grow dark with the grim and final warning Beware of the ones with invisible friends They will steal into your mind And all too soon the signs begin to show
Rise up to the shining Live long live now Rise up to the shining Don't be blind by fools again Fools again
As the pages turn and the story's told From the visions he's seen The house on the hill With the haunted eyes that call Noone laughed as madness came out To play it's game If you stay too long you'll finally go insane
Rise up to the shining Live long live now Rise up to the shining Don't be blind by fools again Fools again
Bells will take their toll On your way There's no way we're born to shine Before our time, all your life You're on your own Lonely road Lost in a time Let the light lead your way To the golden throne It's the only way
Rise up to the shining Live long live now Rise up to the shining Don't be blind by fools again Rise up to the shining Live long live now Rise up the shining Don't be blind by fools again
Oh rise up, to the shining Wise up they're gonna steal your mind Rise up, the house is gonna haunt you No one laughed, no one cried You stayed too long You're finally gonna stay
Rising with the sun, the work has been done but people are starting to stare Called from afar to the court of the Czar Could it be something is wrong?
You stand face to face and your heart gathers pace for the answer to a question a prize If only you had known to be honest was wrong For the work that you've done you will pay with your eyes
CHORUS: Into the black where the night never ends and the light leaves a scar on your soul where your heart used to hold your love here! Heaven in Black
Inside there's a voice saying was there a choice you'd still be entombed in the night Lucifer's to blame, the reason for the flame They've taken your sight but they'll not take your God
The chapter is opened and the pages are turned the writings say many things but who was concerned Where can we run to now, when will we learn? When it's lost it's gone forever
For years they told me what I should do Down to the places to go and who should I talk to But that don't matter no more since I found out the truth and it feels good to me
The world is turnin' Forever turnin' Forever yearnin' For the love of life and you're wrong if you think that I'm afraid to love
I wonder, I wonder does it not seem strange to you Just how the tables have turned on me and you? How long can we go on livin', livin' the way we do? When it's lost it's gone forever
Leading us on, to the land of eternity Riding the cold cold winds of Valhalla
The Kingdom of Odin is the Kingdom of Gods Where only souls of the brave may rest in peace But someone among them had the skill of deceit And raised the hand that would open the road to Hel
CHORUS: When the winds of Valhalla run cold Be sure that the blood will start to flow When the winds of Valhalla run cold Valhalla
The ring has been broken and a soul must be saved Among the bravest of men, who rides to Hel The longships are sailing and the chariots ride And yes the anger of Thor will serve you well
CHORUS
Raise your hands reach and Valhalla will save your soul Raise your eyes and Odin will lead us on
They say that history repeats itself upon the year of the seventh century Well nobody knows, no you never can tell So you'd better run now and hide away
Fire and water, wind and rain wings that carry hell in every vein World possessions, endless taers truth and knowledge stolen all their years
World turns slowly, sun don't shine Silence stills the air and kills the chime Words are poison, passion bleeds 2000 years on earth has sown the seeds
The time of dreams has turned The night is gone and light shines on Where darkness once would hide With spirits high, our fears were born
CHORUS: Receiver of light, the kingdom of God will guide you Keep you from a restless heart Deceiver of night, the stranger that laughs within you, the reason for the restless heart is the keeper of the Sabbath Stones
Fire and water, wind and rain wings that carry hell in every vein World turns slowly, sun don't shine Silence stills the air and kills the chime
Can faith destroy desire? Each breath a prayer each step brings fear The eyes of they that see have evil stare Watch over me
CHORUS and He's the keeper of the Sabbath Stones
What God is this that stands to hear his people cry? What hand would strike and watch his people die? What life that takes, what future did we earn? It's our mistakes, take heed the Sabbath Stones
What life that takes what future did we earn? It's our mistakes
The highway's screamin', callin' out your name Cause every road that you travel on There's a price to pay A thousand eyes are starin' But the blind still lead the blind
CHORUS: Where will you turn if it all goes wrong And you're on the run jerusalem?
You say you walked through the valley You say you've seen the signs Echoes call you from a distant age Or is it in your mind?
Then a thousand souls rise form the sea Holding up the sun And an angel cries 'beware your lies' It could be the end of it all
CHORUS
Everybody knows your name, every road leads to anger Will it always be the same, is there reason to return?
CHORUS
When an angel cries-Jerusalem Better watch your lies-Jerusalem When an angel cries-Jerusalem
Anno Mundi (The Vision) Spirito sanctus anno anno mundi Spirito sanctus anno anno mundi Spirito sanctus anno anno mundi (Spirito sanctus anno anno mundi) Can ya see me? Are ya near me?

They're all laughin' at you. If only they could see what you're sayin' was true. Ooh yeah Still gen'rals fighting, making war on the world Don't they know, don't they know no no no-oh.
As the winds of the night blows cold Your eyes are burnin' And the sands of our time grow old. Anno mundi yea
Do you follow the path that so many tread? Are you among the blind, so easily lead? Do you join in the war? Do you fight for the cause? Depend on another to fight it alone?
As the winds of the night blows cold Your eyes are burnin' And the sands of our time grow old. No no no.
Spirito sanctus anno anno mundi Spirito sanctus anno anno mundi Can ya see me now? (Spirito sanctus anno anno mundi) Oh. Can ya hear me now? (Spirito sanctus anno anno mundi) Oh.

There's a hope that's growin' and a vision too All those angry hearts now reach out for you. Do you look to the dawn? See a new day begun. No longer the fool the vision is done.
As the winds of the night blow cold Your eyes are burnin' And the sands of our time grow old. Your eyes are burnin' And the winds of the night blow cold Your eyes are burnin' And the sands of our time grow old. Your eyes are burnin'

All your life you've been slipping and sliding Trying to find a way Sun won't shine but now it's your time to pay There's no turning back as you look The hangman in the eye
Now hell's just your death away
It's too late to say you care When there's evil in your stare You say you're not to blame In your head voices mocking every prayer
Remember the face you saw That once was you Spirit high there's no way that You could lose Give him rope they said As you look the hangman in the eye Now around your neck you feel The noose
In your head voices mocking every prayer Now you're lost forever
I'm burning with fire it's time to Leave or get out I'm burning in fire I can't take No more so get out I'm burning with fire the wheels of Steel will grind you Burning in fire this time You're lost forever Lost forever!
There's an evil in your stare Lost forever! And hell's just a breath away You're lost forever And there's no way out you burn With fire it's time to get out Get out, get out And there's no way out Lost forever
No one said it had to be this way Why are we the victims of their final word
Dying world is killing us so slowly I believe no god may save us now
Can't you see what I see Sinners say your prayers tonite Your judgement day is here
Child tomorrow will die, not even Born jesus our questions He never seems to hear Dying for the answers may be The price we pay, to find the Key to our lives Is there a heaven is there a hell Who's this god, tell me there's No god above, why We chose what lord, deep Within our souls He's not one thing We are his spirit We could save this world From destruction day Can't you see what I see
You and I victims of their word As the masters of power Try to poison our world
Greed money taken over Their souls, you're Just mechanical brains Politicians don't know Just don't know We can change this world we Live in, don't let it die
Once upon a nightmare, once upon a time You are running from temptation, you got lost and found Yhat you don't belong to anybody, you're all the same Just another number, cross it out whenever you don't behave
Someone get the doctor, he knows what to do Throw some bones and mumble, the devil's inside of you It might be contagious, it might change the plan Get back in your tiny boxes, even if you can't we say you can
Join the congregation Everybody's got to get in line And we never justify The choir sings a never ending lie
When you thought you were free You didn't need a reason, no reason to survive As the big door closes and you're waiting for the nail Somebody tell the world you're buried alive
Once upon a nightmare, once upon a time Running from tomorrow, you got lost and found That another day has turned to ashes, been taken by the wind Frozen seeds of sorrow never to begin
Join the celebration And everybody's got to get in line And we never justify The choir sings a never ending lie
When you thought you were free You did not need a reason, no reason to survive As the big door closes and you're waiting for the nail Somebody tell the world you're buried alive
One more nightmare, just one more time Join the congregation, everybody get in line Celebration, the choir sings a lie As you call the hammer falls No one hears you cry I'm buried alive
Where Do You Go When Your Conscience Takes Over Do You Crawl To Your Corner And Cry. Did You Imagine, That No One Would Notice Just A Secret To Take When You Die.
All The World Is Watching You, Every Tongue Is Screaming Fool.
How Are Your Dreams, Do They Claw At Your Sleep Making Darkness A Place You Despise, Where Is The God, That Once Was Your Strength Are You Sure He Was There From The Start.
All The World Is Watching You, Nowhere You Can Hide, Every Tongue Is Screaming Fool, Only Satan Hears Your Cries.
When You Sin Cardinal Sin, You Make Your Bed And On It You Must Lie, And Your Futures Looking Grim, But Did You Ever Give A Damn About The Child, He's Running Wild. When You Sin Cardinal Sin, Don't Expect The World Will Treat You Well, We Say Oh, Go To Hell.
We Point The Finger, Sin Cardinal Sin, Laugh In Your Face, Sin Cardinal Sin, We Point The Finger, Laugh In Your Face, Cos You're No Better Than The Rest Of The Human Race.
Young Life, Too Young, Who's Eyes Are Choking, Can't Rest, Can't Sleep, For Dreams That Set You Falling. Don't Feel The Hunger, Can't Drink No Holy Water, No Light In These Eyes, No Place For Dreams At All Tonight.
When The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, Is The Hand That Holds The Knife, And The Knife That Cuts The Cable, Kills The Spark That Feeds The Life.
No Grave Could Be Deep Enough, Down To Hell If We Were Able, The Veil Of Life Was Pushed Aside, By The Hand That Rocks The Cradle.
The Oath You Take Is Sacred, To Save Not Steel A Life, Like The Passing Of The Sweetest Soul, That Looked Through Human Eyes
Young Life, Too Young, Who's Eyes Are Choking, Can't Rest, Can't Sleep, For Dreams That Set You Falling. Don't Feel The Hunger, Can't Drink No Holy Water, No Light In These Eyes, No Place For Dreams At All Tonight.
It's The Hand That Rocks The Cradle. It's The Hand That Steels The Life.
