ARTENSION LYRICS

1. Voyage To Nasca

[Instrumental]

2. Your Victory

Why do you run from the light?
All of the mystery's been revealed
So many pray for your life
Some had claimed you died

Live life as you were
No return

Now on your way, love is fading
So far away from me
And on the wind, flags are waving
Honoring your victory...Your victory

It's so hard to say what is right
With all of the truths
that have been concealed
Don't care what's black or what's white
I've been color blind

Live life without debt
No regret

Now on your way, love is fading
So far away from me
And on the wind, flags are waving
Honoring your victory...Your victory

3. Running Out Of Time

Now that my life is changing
Something is missing
Driving me insane
These feelings in my brain

Dark fear...so real
Sanity lives so far away from here

Dangerous age, I'm running out of time
The world is in my stage, but I'm running out of,
Running out of time

Somehow the light is fading
To unholy darkness
Night destroys the day
It's so hard to find my way

Dark fear...so real
Sanity lives so far away from here

Dangerous age, I'm running out of time
The world is in my stage, but I'm running out of,
Running out of time

4. Sacred Pathways

I crossed the jungle to the Nasca lines
And found myself on ancient runways

Sacrifice...abandoned by the Gods
Human life...Who will remain?
Who will remain?

Sacred Pathways...oh
Sacred Pathways...oh

They're only visible from crafts in flight
So who created all these patterns?

Perfect lines...carved into the stone
Strange designs...answers unknown

Sacred Pathways...oh
Sacred Pathways...oh

What was the tragedy
that brought them to this end?
Earthquake? Fire?
Or seven years of drought?
Why did they die?

I took a walk along the Nasca lines
And felt the force of ancient powers

Tales of lives...safe within the stone
Whose designs?...we'll never know,
we'll never know

Sacred Pathways...oh
Sacred Pathways...oh

5. Silent Temple

[instrumental]

6. The Emperor

He rules the night, and watches by daylight
No man shall challenge the throne

Born to be royalty

All hail the emperor!
Lord and master
All hail the emperor!
Now you know just what your life's worth

Guardian of life, deliver us all from our evils
No one shall question his word

Born to be royalty

All hail the emperor!
Lord and master
All hail the emperor!
Now you know just what your life's worth

"Guardian of life watch over us by daylight
No man shall challenge your throne, or question your word
Deliver us all from our evils, oh Emperor"

7. Nightmare

In your dreams, does everything seem...
Black and white?...Dark as night?
Does morning seem far away?
Cold and damp?...
Racing back to where your world is safe

Nightmare, always the same for me
Falling, throw me a line
Save me, give me the sense to see
Nightmare, never come near to me

Far away, the warm light of day
Round and round
Fear sinking down to when you were a child
Run and hide
Locked up inside
The horror seems so real

Nightmare, always the same for me
Falling, throw me a line
Save me, give me the sense to see
Nightmare, never come near to me

Nightmare, always the same for me
Falling, throw me a line
Save me, give me the sense to see
Nightmare, never come near to me

Nightmare...the horror seems so real
Throw me a line...I'm fallin' fallin' fallin'
Ever so real to me, always haunting me
In my dreams...everything seems

8. The Killing

Dark cloud is covering the sky
And I feel, now there is no end in sight

Don't turn and run away
You'll never know
Won't let you leave this place
No, not alive!

Come and join the killing
Not without a fight
Welcome to the killing
You won't leave with your life

Broadheads are sharper than a knife
At full draw, and I've got you in my sights

Don't turn and run away
You'll never know
Won't let you leave this place
No, not alive!

Come and join the killing
Due respect for life
Welcome to the killing
You won't leave with your life

9. The Calm Before The Storm

Now I know where the spirit goes
Flying on the wind, until it's born again

Dark world, I have seen the other side
A cold light, an endless night
Until it's born again

Fly on, spirit
Fly on, spirit

Before the storm, the calm is deafening
Before the storm, the calm is deafening

So sad that everyone we love must die
Hearts sigh, and souls they cry
Until they've born again

Fly on, spirit
Fly on, spirit

Before the storm, the calm is deafening
Before the storm, the calm is deafening

Fly on!

Fly on, spirit
Fly on, spirit

Before the storm, the calm is deafening
Before the storm, the calm is deafening

Until they're born again
Spirit, fly on
On through the storm

10. March To Ruin

[instrumental]

11. Flower Of The Orient

He was just a travelin' man
On the island of Japan
Asian beauty caught his eye
Stole his heart, he could not lie

Tall blonde American
Living in a foreign land
She was just a lonely girl
Wanting to see the world

And he will...and she will
Love forever

Yoko-san, in the land of the rising sun
Tell me why do you run from my heart?
Tell me why, my Yoko-san

Wrote a poem, and had it sent
Poured his heart out through his pen
She never heard such words before
"Have it all and so much more"

Flower of the orient
Now you know what these words meant
Will you be my destiny?
Oh, perfect harmony

And he will...and she will
Love forever

Yoko-san, in the land of the rising sun
Tell me why do you run from my heart?
Tell me why, my Yoko-san

He was born and raised to fight
Changed her future in one night
Live in peace forever more
Hearts grew wings and start to soar

And he will...and she will
Love forever

Yoko-san, in the land of the rising sun
Tell me why do you run from my heart?
Tell me why, my Yoko-san
Tell me why...Yoko-san...oh baby

12. Nightmare
