1. Forgotten Fairyland

[instrumental]

2. Sword Of Wisdom

The fire of dragons is burning my flesh
And nightmares devour my shivering soul
torches and blood I can see in the night
the guardian of death is denying the light

Down in the valleys of fairies and kings
the sword of the wisdom, forgotten in time
as I seek the mysteries in books of the damned
faith in the keepers of ancient legends

A glance upon the shades, the moonlight in the dark
into another day, the brightest of the stars
the voices from below keep haunting me at night
illuminate my mind, a blaze of golden light

Down in the valleys...

What will I see when I open my eyes?
the horros around me I cannot describe
we're dwelling in darkness as ravens will fly
hailing the gods of the earth and the sky

Down in the valleys...

I raise my voice in my deepest despair
as I would endure any torture and pain
Son of the Dawn, if the truth could be seen
and thou wouldn't reveal all thy secrets to me

Down in the valleys...

A glance upon the shades...

Unlock the hidden gates, salvation you will find
I see the dragon fly and enter astral skies,
the darkness I won't fear, the secret is revealed
but time is running out, my destiny is sealed

Down in the valleys...

A glance upon the shades...

Unlock the hidden gates...

Fly away into the night, leave the misty shades behind
in the darkness of a dream, finally the truth is seen

See the truth, hear the truth, speak the truth, know the truth

3. Fading Away

Many happy years have passed
but somehow it all went totally wrong
you have left my life
my soul cries out, I'm left alone

And see...
as the night devours all the light of day
And see...
how my life is slowly fading away

I'm drowning, I'm dying, I'm fading away
I'm leaving this world, I am fading away

I am drowning in sorrow
lost the will to live one more day
suffering in this world
I wish my life was fading away

I promised you my love
till the very end of all times
but you broke my heart
filled with grief I'm left here to die

I see...
how the blood is running slowly down my arms
I feel..
how death is longing for my broken heart

I'm drowning...

I'm drowning, I'm dying, I'm bleeding, I'm fading,
I'm leaving this world, now I'm fading away

4. Nacht Der Söldner

[Refrain:] Hey ho, ein Feuerlein brennt,
und so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner!

[Refrain]

Sie zieh'n durch die Städte, und plündern für Geld,
knie nieder und beug dich, du bist nur kein Held.
Gib' mir zwei Decken und auch ein paar Schuh,
denn so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner.

[Refrain]

Unter der Herrschaft des grausam' Tyrann
hat man Schwert zwar dabei, doch nur Lumpen an
Fürst gib uns Feuer, hey Fürst gib uns Wein,
denn so kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner.

[Refrain]

Doch eines Tages da wussten sie schon,
Der Krieg bringt kein Geld, nur der Tod ist ihr Lohn.
Werden gerichtet, bald knüpft man sie auf
und dann ist es vorbei mit den Söldnern.

[Refrain]

Gehen in Ketten zum Richtplatz dahin,
ganz starr war der Blick, nur getrübt ward ihr Sinn.
Steigen die hölzernen Stufen empor,
und bald ist es gescheh'n um die Söldner.

[Refrain]

Der Henker, der war da ganz flink und geschickt,
legt ihnen die Schlingen ganz fest um's Genick.
Knoten geprüft, mit sorgsamen Blick,
doch sehr kalt ist die Nacht für die Söldner.

[Refrain]

Gebete gesprochen, die Falltüre schwingt,
sie fallen ins Leere, das straffe Seil singt,
röcheln und nehmen den letzten Zug,
doch der Tod brach herein für die Söldner.

[4x] Hey ho, das Feuer ist aus,
und so baumeln sie dort an dem Galgen.

5. Dawn

[instrumental]

6. Into The Battle

Into the battle - the blood of our enemies stains on our hands
Into the battle - roaming the land
Into the battle - death is by our side
Into the battle - for victory we ride

Dawn is breaking, a new day has begun
We saddle our horses, a battle has to be won
In shiny armour we look up to the sky
Our blades are sharpened, all enemies shall die

The hooves of our horses give a thundering sound
As we are heading towards the battleground
In fear and sheer terror our enemies cry
Our blades are sharpened, now they all will die

Into the battle...

Oh mighty gods of war
To you I raise my voice
Aflame our blades with burning fire
And let the cold steel of our swords
Meet all those who dare standing against us

Breaking your bones, split your skull in two
Ripping through your flesh is what we gonna do
Tearing out your guts, hearken to your cries
Desecrate your body, in agony you die

When the sun sets and the shadows fall
Victory is ours, we devoured them all
Drenched in blood we leave the battleground
Corpses of our enemies are all that can be found

Into the battle...

7. My Bleeding Heart

Shadows of the glancing moon
embrace me now with your cold veil
deep, deep in the glacial waters
the moonlight is shimmering pale

There is darkness in my bleeding heart...

I have lost the will of living this life
for me it has no more worth
I am drowning in the glacial waters
my soul leaving this earth

There is darkness...

In my deepest desparation
all my thoughts are lead astry
come and join my in the glacial waters
I will show you the way

There is darkness...

8. Tills Dagen Gryr

Runt kring vår stunga småjävlar slunga,
tassa så tyst med bockfet och svans.
Varulyar yla isande kyla,
sveper i dimma fantygets dans.
Bäva och broder lyssna och hör,
vråle från gast son osalig dör.
Döden han skrattar flaskan han fattar,
svänger med den tills dagen gryr.

Gastar och spöken skymtas i kröken,
dödingar släpar ruttnande lik.
Benrangel skramla spökhander famla,
kväver din strupes rosslande skrik.
Helvetets alla fasor släpps loss,
fan rider runt med hela sin tross.
Döden han skrattar flaskan han fattar,
svänger med den tills dagen gryr.

9. The Tale Of The Dragonslayer

Long ago in a time of tales when
Mighty dragons ruled the sky
In his castle a knight so wealthy
Dwelled in the woods by the riverside

Filled with greed he dreamt of the treasures
That the dragons were said to own
So one day he went out to kill them
Claim all the riches for his own

Dragonslayer - Raise your sword up high
Dragonslayer - Blood is spilled tonight

Soon he had slain many a dragon
Just a single one of them left
Far beyond all imaginations
Were the treasures that he possessed

No one had ever seen this monster
The most dangerous beast of them all
And the knight in his shiny armour
Headed for this last dragon to fall

Dragonslayer...

To a cave in the highest mountains
He then rode with an evil grin
In a fierce and long lasting battle
Neither the dragon nor he could win

His eyes then caught a glimpse of the treasure
Fascinated he turned his head
In this moment the dragon hit him
Bleeding his body dropped down dead

Dragonslayer - You are gonna die
Dragonslayer - Your blood is spilled tonight

10. Just Another Chance

I'm closing my eyes now, alone in my room
I am looking back at the things that I have done
I went into battle, I conquered it all
But now I am dying, forgotten, all alone

In my desperation I'm starting to doubt
That glory and power is what life is all about
As my life is fading I wish I could trade
All of my riches for just another chance

Turn back the time, I regret all the things I have done
Father, please forgive me... Everything just went so goddamn wrong
I realized my faults, but what's been done can not be taken back
And all I ask of you: JUST ANOTHER CHANCE

In sorrow I'm weeping, In desperation I'm crying
Just another chance
In failure I'm breaking, forgotten I'm dying
Just another chance

My nation divided, the people enslaved
They suffer in silence as they're creeping to their graves
My so called achievements, what have they been for?
In my final hour death is knoking on my door

I cared about honour and what I dreamt of
Was almighty power, not a never ending love
My life has been wasted but now it's too late
There's no turning back now, endless torture is my fate

Turn back the time...

In sorrow I'm weeping...

11. A Final Farewell

nemo nisi ambo esto, in aeternum, mea lux
tempus autem citum fuget, nos valere iubet

dusk emerges slowly in azure shades
from the depths of the ground
the time has come my precious love
to say farewell to you

the night falls and the waters rise
a silent whisper in the winds
spirits of the forest grant me the strength
I need to bear this pain i feel

the trees shiver in the dark
solemn a nightowl is soaring
dance for me for the last time
tonight when nature is calling

a bed of moss to lie down and die
no words to bid a final farewell
my precious love you can't deny
your eyes won't see another dawn

nemo nisi...

close your eyes my precious one
taking your last breath
as this is your final farewell
as this is your death

dusk emerges...

a bed of moss...

nemo nisi...

close your eyes...
