AVIAN LYRICS

1. Through The Past And Into Forever

[Instrumental]

2. As The World Burns

The time has come to save our ruined land
Taking it for granted has led to this doom
Power and glory has played its wicked hand
Little hope we'll survive the catastrophic goom

Days and weeks and months and years
Roll until they slowly disappear
Every man woman and child will see
The death of the home of humanity

The road to hell lies dead ahead
It's too late now; we've been misled
The storm approaches from the west now

As we sail across the sea of time
We carry on; we don't look back
Still we march ahead, As The World Burns

Prophets and seers have warned for many years
Mankind will fall down to its knees
When the line is crossed it will be too late
To return to Eden and revel in its state

Clouds roll in from a distance
A sign of the darkness to come
Rays of light sneak through vapors
Determined to shine on the sacred ground

The road to hell lies dead ahead
It's too late now; we've been misled
The storm approaches from the west now

As we sail across the sea of time
We carry on; we don't look back
Still we march ahead, As The World Burns

Time will never end, hope is gone with hate
Fate is in our hands, but it is too late
Will we transcend, or fall into the well
A step we must take, for mankind's sake

The battle of all ages looms on the horizon
Nothing short of a miracle will stop it now
The rise and fall of Babylon
Should have warned us not to reach so high

Time will never end, hope is gone with hate
Fate is in our hands, but it is too late
Will we transcend, or fall into the well

The road to hell lies dead ahead
It's too late now; we've been misled
The storm approaches from the west now

As we sail across the sea of time
We carry on; we don't look back
Still we march ahead, As The World Burns

3. Black Masquerade

Look around, see the fires burning moral ground
In the shadows all this time, feeling safe and sound
Shadows dance through the night; spirits come alive
Fools believe all is right, until no one survives

Blood red moon awaits, will the world awake
Signs of judgment day, time will seal our fate

Black Masquerade's upon us
The dance of fate has begun
The great charade devours us

Secrets made in the dark allowed to get this far
Sinners and saints share their crimes;
Leave their morals on the ground

Blood red moon awaits, will the world awake
Signs of judgment day, time will seal our fate

Black Masquerade's upon us
The dance of fate has begun
The great charade devours us
Black Masquerade has come
The day now has come to run
Black Masquerade's upon us
Chaos will reign our world

Silent cries cut the night, dying embers steal the light
Night and day turn to one, Guardians wait for a sign

Will the world awake, dreams revealing fate
The timeline has been set, will judgement day be altered yet

Black Masquerade's upon us
The dance of fate has begun
The great charade devours us
Black Masquerade has come
The day now has come to run
Black Masquerade's upon us
Chaos will reign our world

4. The Fear

Seven strangers gathered in the forest
Speaking without saying a single word
Holding hands, they stood in a circle
Staring at each other's frozen eyes

The visions came as the wind stirred
The end of time is almost burnt

The Fear's rising from within
They can feel it closing in
From the fire through the flame
The Fear is calling their names

Frozen in silence the seven stood strong
Growing stronger with every moment
All are now surrounded by the blazing flames
As the heat from below arises

Nothing can stop this deadly meeting
The Moon's glow reflecting;
Their hearts stopped beating
The end of time; the clock's hands stand still

The Fear's rising from within
They can feel it closing in
From the fire through the flames
The Fear is calling their names

The ground trembles as he awakes
The trees' fury won't stop the quake
A child's cry tears through the night
A telling sign of things to come

The Fear's rising from within
They can feel it closing in
From the fire through the flame
The Fear is calling their names

Seven strangers gathered in the forest
Speaking without saying a single word

5. Final Frontier

Time everlasting is holding us down
Turning everything into a cloud
Never allows us to rise up
Leaving our spirits on the ground

The will of man must make a stand
Tomorrow's children are held by fate
Darkness has dealt us a wicked hand

Now is the time to open the door
And find inside what we're looking for
To reach with our hands and take what is ours
To find the truth and see what's beyond

Why are we here, who will we be
Struggling to see the Final Frontier
Where do we go, who will we know
Dying to see the Final Frontier

We lead ourselves to the gallows
Blindly stepping out of the light
Will we remain in the shadows
Or rise high and take to the sky

Now is the time to open the door
And find inside what we're looking for
To reach with our hands and take what is ours
To find the truth and see what's beyond

Why are we here, who will we be
Struggling to see the Final Frontier
Where do we go, who will we know
Dying to see the Final Frontier

One final chance within our grasp
Redeems the past, secures the future
Within the gates of time, the die is cast

Now is the time to open the door
And find inside what we're looking for
To reach with our hands and take what is ours
To find the truth and see what's beyond

Why are we here, who will we be
Struggling to see the Final Frontier
Where do we go, who will we know
Dying to see the Final Frontier

6. Across The Millions

[Instrumental]

7. Time And Space Part I: City Of Peace

Arrows fly across the sky
Their fires shine in the fading light
The prophets' words are ringing true in these final days

Nothing will remain; have to start all over again
As the dark memories fade, where will the children play

Time ans space meet in the streets of broken dreams
Where can the children play; there's no city of peace
Moon's glow delivers hope all across this hallowed land
Where will the children go; there's no city of peace

Burning candles light the way
Spirits dance the dance today
Wise men gather in the crowd
Their cries yield no sound

Shadows rise again, far above the din of pain
The nightmare never ends; someone please stop their reign

Time ans space meet in the streets of broken dreams
Where can the children play; there's no city of peace
Moon's glow delivers hope all across this hallowed land
Where will the children go; there's no city of peace

The final bell begins to chime
All the sinners stand in line

Nothing will remain; have to start all over again
As the dark memories fade, where will the children play

Time ans space meet in the streets of broken dreams
Where can the children play; there's no city of peace
Moon's glow delivers hope all across this hallowed land
Where will the children go; there's no city of peace

8. Single Blade Of Vengeance

They live and die within the gates of time
They run and hide in the distant skies
Horrid crimes against mankind
Destroying the Will of Life

The knife shines bright, stand up and fight
The light blinds your eyes; your mind can't survive

Shadows in the dark
The fear playing its part

In the night, stay in sight, wrong or right
Fight until the death
In the night, through the light, do or die,
With a Single Blade of Vengeance

To tempt your fate is to leave the past behind
The chance you take will bleed the savage heart
Guardlans of Time have you well in sight

The knife shines bright, stand up and fight
The light blinds your eyes; your mind can't survive

Shadows in the dark
The Fear playing its part

In the night, stay in sight, wrong or right
Fight until the death
In the night, through the light, do or die,
With a Single Blade of Vengeance
Don't deny the fear inside, hold on tight
Hold your last breath
Stay alive with all your might; tonight's the night
For a Single Blade of Vengeance

In the night, stay in sight, wrong or right
Fight until the death
In the night, through the light, do or die,
With a Single Blade of Vengeance
Don't deny the fear inside, hold on tight
Hold your last breath
Stay alive with all your might; tonight's the night
For a Single Blade of Vengeance

9. Blinding Force

Tide is shifting, bells are ringing
As the Sun begins to drown
Men are sinking, nations thinking
Walls are crumbling and now are falling down

Hear the sound growing from down under
Tonight their cries explode from the thunder

Can't see the light on this final night
Words they say will fade away

Searching high, searching low
From above to down below
Rising up through the storm
Ride the sky with Blinding Force
Live and die and never know
What it's like to feel the glow
Time goes by, but still we go
Ride the sky with Blinding Force

Children grieving, thoughts deceiving
And the angels start to cry
Morals broken, fate has spoken
Who is looking through the glass eye

Feel the ground shake from the thunder
The beast awakens to feed the hunger
Can't see the light on this final night
Words they say will fade away

Searching high, searching low
From above to down below
Rising up through the storm
Ride the sky with Blinding Force
Live and die and never know
What it's like to feel the glow
Time goes by, but still we go
Ride the sky with Blinding Force

Earth is quaking, hearts are breaking
As the demons start to rise
Mothers grieving, children screaming
No escaping our demise
Still believing, hope is fleeting
As we look for answers ih the skies

The fear arises in those who wonder
Voices echo across the tundra
Can't see the light on this final night
Words they say will fade away

Searching high, searching low
From above to down below
Rising up through the storm
Ride the sky with Blinding Force
Live and die and never know
What it's like to feel the glow
Time goes by, but still we go
Ride the sky with Blinding Force

10. Time Is All We Need

Time slips away, through winter nights and days
Someday someway, we'll regain all left behind
The past is gone, moved on without a chance now
We carry on, take life's great majesty

All of our memories slowly fade away
Into infinity
Voices cry out begging us to stay
Shadows dancing

Time is all we need to get us through The Fear
Lives and destiny falling through eternity
Days turn into weeks, disappearing into years
Time is all we need to wash away our sins

Children will play in gardens of the Promised Land
Until that day, their dreams of fate will never die
Their light shines on, into the darkness of night
Where we come from, the stars shine as one

All of our memories slowly fade away
Into infinity
Voices cry out begging us to stay
Shadows dancing

Time is all we need to get us through The Fear
Lives and destiny falling through eternity
Days turn into weeks, disappearing into years
Time is all we need to wash away our sins

11. Queen Of The Insane

Today's the day to pay the insane
Until now you've had the edge
Shadows dance across your room
Chasing you with unholy rage

No more are you allowed to dream
The end has come to the legacy
She won't stop until she has your soul
The kingdom has heard her call

Out of the darkness and into the light
The Queen is awakening on this night
Don't try to stop her, don't try to hide
It only feeds the hate inside

Do you remember the game
The one they used to play
When she calls your name
The Queen of the Insane
They came and went away
No one survived the day
The time has came to pay
The Queen of the Insane

Running through the bitter night
Her presence around you everywhere
Fallen child you see the truth in knowing;
She'll soon be there

Energy flows from within
Fate's whispers closing in
Drawing from the face that hides the light
Calling on the sun to shine

Out of the darkness and into the light
The Queen is awakening on this night
Don't try to stop her, don't try to hide
It only feeds the hate inside

Do you remember the game
The one they used to play
When she calls your name
The Queen of the Insane
They came and went away
No one survived the day
The time has came to pay
The Queen of the Insane

A final step taken to defy
Is not enough to break her spell
Lay down and take your final breath
As you stop inside her private hell

All your resistance was in vain
Defenseless to stop her reign
The armies of the damned now hear her call
Out of the ashes they crawl

Up from the darkness arising to fight
Voices awaken them in the night
She'll never falter, she'll never die
She holds the key of the second sight

Do you remember the game
The one they used to play
When she calls your name
The Queen of the Insane
They came and went away
No one survived the day
The time has came to pay
The Queen of the Insane

12. Last Moon

[Instrumental]

13. The Depths Of Time

Somewhere in the grand universe
Reside the ones that control it all
Across the millions they ate the first
To witness what becomes of our world
Light years away but somehow near
Preying on mankind's darkest fears

From The Depths of Time they're rising
Fearing none they march ahead
Through the past and into forever
They're the ones approaching with the storm

The shattered state of man's blind desire
Has ripped to shreds the grand design
Nightmares of the dying spirits
Tear through the tides of time
Fire winds blaze across our eyes
As the mighty empire falls in demise

From The Depths of Time they're rising
Fearing none they march ahead
Through the past and into forever
They're the ones approaching with the storm

Way out in the dark far beyond, in the distance
Hiding from the light, deep in the shadows of night
Waiting for the spark, from beyond, in the remoteness
They stay out of sight, making sure all is right
Where are they now; they're out there waiting
Where are they now; beyond the light
Where are they now; they're out there watching
Where are they now; the guardians of time

Stand as one we're all united
Here in the valley of time
Emerald warriors you're the chosen
Now the judgement has begun

The lion's gate at last is wide open
The hands of fate are now open wide

From The Depths of Time they're rising
Fearing none they march ahead
Through the past and into forever
They're the ones approaching with the storm

Way out in the dark far beyond, in the distance
Hiding from the light, deep in the shadows of night
Waiting for the spark, from beyond, in the remoteness
They stay out of sight, making sure all is right
Where are they now; they're out there waiting
Where are they now; beyond the light
Where are they now; they're out there watching
Where are they now; the guardians of time

From The Depths of Time they're rising
Fearing none they march ahead
Through the past and into forever
They're the ones approaching with the storm

Way out in the dark far beyond, in the distance
Hiding from the light, deep in the shadows of night
Waiting for the spark, from beyond, in the remoteness
They stay out of sight, making sure all is right
Where are they now; they're out there waiting
Where are they now; beyond the light
Where are they now; they're out there watching
Where are they now; the guardians of time
