Birth You saw the world that we had created before Your birth Is thete any chance for you to grow up in it, In love and peace? No, because I Know that all attempts to Change hatred into love, sadness in joy, Had already gone long time ago into The dismal abyss of hell I wish only to save you, the helpless being, By covering your eyes with my still untouched soul. Born in the ravages of wars, In times of hatred and pain. Now you are doomed to struggle, That I keep on losing. Maybe once the time will come when, The awaken will enjoy peace and love. This is your chance, you can achive it. Your pure soul will help you in this fight, With the wraped humanity that ravages everything. Your pure heart will protect you against the vile. Whispers of this world's monsters. You can be the king of the underfield land. 2. Bleeding Heart I saw what happened close by. Everybody saw, but nobody was about to react. We turned a blind eye to this cruel slaughter. My soul is crying, is yearning for vengeance. For murdered children, for raped women, For tormented and executed men. Why were they doning it, Why were they killing like animals? Lord, why did nobody stop them? My heart bleeding, I pray for peace on our EARTH My soul is crying, is yearning for vengence. For murdered children, for raped women, For tormented and executed men. I saw what happened close by. Everybody saw, but nobody was about to react We turned a blind eye to this cruel slaughter. I know that when the GATES of HELL, Which I saw close by, will open, There will be nobody to help us. 3. Collapse The storm is approaching, infernal darkness, Covered the sun and the night fell. The Lord of hideous monsters got the mortal, Grips with the king of light. Two minds and two bodies clashed with Each other: Hell and heaven. Rule, power, axe - it was the picture of my king. He gave us faith in life, They showed us how to fight with evil. Now he's gone. I'm anxious about my life. I'm anxious about our future. That's the end. Collapse. Ruin all around. I'm dazzied by the blaze of fire. I see the exhaustion of my king slaying, The lord of shadows. They die together. Their bodies get smashed against the rocks. Bloody mortal remains of my kings are crying for vengeance. There's nobody to take revenge. Rule, power, axe - it was the picture of my king. He gave us faith in life, They shower us how to fight with evil. Now he's gone. I'm anxious about my life I'm anxious about our future. 4. Land Of Dreams The night is coming down, the sky is omnious. The sun sank down below the horizon, Gloomy darkness is wrapping the world, In the moonlight among shadows, You are leaving for the land of dreams Suddenly you're opening your eyes And you don't know if you slept or not. It's so dark that you don't know, For sure if your eyes are open, After a while a sound is reaching you, It's a woman's voice, The voice is so clear and strangely dismal, The words are fading in the air. You feel the approaching death that's slowly Embracing your body. You look around and that It's still dark everywhere It's so dark thar you don't know, For sure if your eyes are open, After a while a sound is reaching you, It's a woman's voice, The voice is so clear and strangely dismal, The words are fading in the air. 5. Temple Of Love With the fire from the fire works up above me With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand You run for the cover in the temple of love You run for another but still the same For the wind will blow my name across this land In the temple of love you hide together Believing pain and fear outside But someone near you rides the weather And the tears he cried will rain on Walls as wide as lovers eyes In the temple of love - shine like thunder In the temple of love - cry like rain In the temple of love - hear my calling In the temple of love - hear my name And the devil in the black dress watches over My guardian angel walks away Life is short and love is always over in the morning Black wind come carry me far away With the sunlight died and the night above me With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside You run for the cover in the temple of love You run for another, it's all the same For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside With the fire from the fire works up above me With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain You run for cover in the temple of love I shine like thunder, cry like rain And the temple of love grows old and strong But the wind blows stronger, cold and long And the temple of love will fall before this Black wind calls my name, to you no more In the temple of love you hide together Believing pain and fear outside But someone near you rides the weather And the tears he cried will rain on Walls as wide as lovers eyes In the temple of love you hide together Believing pain and fear outside But someone near you rides the weather And the tears he cried will rain on Walls as wide as lovers eyes In the black sky thunder sweeping under Ground and over water, sounds of crying, Weeping will not save your Faith for bricks and dreams for mortar All your prayers must seem as nothing Ninety-six below the wave when Stone is dust and only air remains 6. The Anthem Of Victory She runs in circles, talks in tongues Said burn your Docs Throw out your Cosom, Your Details, Your Vogue She hate fashion hypocrites And the puppets that spew forth She hates people who hate, but she hates to hate 'Cause she hates negativity She's sick of being tired and tired of being sick She smells like dope, my God she tastes like cinnamon I'm in love, your so fucked up I think I love you She told me that she was born at Woodstock I told her that I had never been there But I saw the movie once I stayed up late, it was on TV She who played all of Tommy And Jimi's Star Spangled Banner But Kiss didn't play, so I didn't really give a... I tried to say I'd be her bimbo If she could fit me in But I just mumbled something incoherent Like I know that she knows She could take me for a ride She said that I said She could take me for a ride 7. The Lord I'm the king, I was once a rover, outlaw, sailor and slave Now my time has come and I'm the LORD. Sword and axe cleared my path to the throne, From which I'm lokking now at the rest, Realms of my land, it's not a dream! Sword, power, rule - that's my sign My life is the struggle for better times. The struggle that will send the powers, Of evil to their doom. I'm stumbling now along the thorny path of power. I look at my subjects, who conspire to release, Themselves from under my foot. I'm not afraid, I know that my power, And sharp sword don't let the thirst for revenge to emerge. Only mighty soeves lurkin' in the mountains, Arose my anxiety. Sword, power, rule - that's my sign. My life is the struggle for better times. The struggle that will send the powers, Of evil to their doom. Many years of quiet and wise reign had passed, Before the time for the meeting of two forces come. The Lord and his faithful soldiers, made a stand against the immortal enemy. King of Darkness come from murky, Abyss of hell to defeat the mankind with, Fire and Magic. 8. The Night I'm quietly crying, Nobody can see my tears, Nobody can hear my sobs. The night protects me from people's eyes, The night is my only ally. It silently listens to my complains, And carefully wraps me up in its dark cloak, It won't betray me. The wind whispers words of comfort, And delicately strokes my hair, The rain cools my feverished body, And streams down my face, Washing tears off it, And consoling me. The night protects me from people's eyes, The night is my only ally. It silently listens to my complaints, And carefully wraps me up in its dark cloak, It won't betray me. The night protects me from people's eyes, The night is my only ally. It silently listens to my complaints, And carefully wraps me up in its dark cloak, It won't betray me.
