1. The Star of Beshaan
Long ago they placed a charm
Upon this jewel of the damned
On any man who crossed his palm
With the ancient Star of Beshaan
Deep within there burns a flame
Its light as bright as the sun
Many fear to speak its name
The iced blue Star of Beshaan
Its power can draw you
It's calling your name
To gain its glory
Just look into the flame
Many men have tried in vain
To own this stone so fine
But no mere mortal can retain
The cursed blue Star of Beshaan
Its power can draw you
It's calling your name
To gain its glory
Just look into the flame
2. Pandora's Box
I must leave you now my daughter
With the key to all mankind
Within there lies the sins of all creation
And whatever happens to me
You must promise me one thing
You will never lift the lid for any reason
We've a world so full of beauty
Where we have no fear of sin
For I keep here things yet unknown to man
So again I beg you daughter
You must never look within
Or I guarantee you we will all be damned
All that you see here
All that's before you
Came from Pandora's Box
All that's unholy
All that is evil
Came from Pandora's Box
Oh but when the box was opened
Every demon there ran wild
All that remained was hope so we were told
She had tried so not to weaken
But temptation was too strong
Which goes to prove curiosity killed the world
All that you see here
All that's before you
Came from Pandora's Box
All that's unholy
All that is evil
Came from Pandora's Box
3. Hold High the Flame
Remember the men
The young and the old
Who on Flanders Field
Lay still and so cold
Remember the men
The aircrafts and crew
Whose spirits and souls
Still fly in the blue
Hold high the flame
Up to the sky
Hold high the flame
Don't let the memories die
And what of the ships
Where no hands were saved
They still serve their cause
From watery graves
So remember the day
When petals they fall
Be grateful to them
They died for us all
Hold high the flame
Up to the sky
Hold high the flame
Don't let the memories die
4. Children of Tomorrow
In another time, another century
Four magic children did walk upon this land
To keep us all from pain from sin and misery
To bring us news again and make us understand
They found the secret
To end our tears and sorrow
They found the secret
The Children of Tomorrow
Where they had come from no one really knew
Or where they went just like the planets, sun and moon
So little time to see but yet so much to do
To try to teach us all how to avoid our doom
They found the secret
To end our tears and sorrow
They found the secret
The Children of Tomorrow
Not all the people they looked up to the sky
The storm had come and now the sea and sky now raged
Lost and frightened, they all began to cry
It was too late, too late, and no one could be saved
They found the secret
To end our tears and sorrow
They found the secret
The Children of Tomorrow
5. Trial by Fire
As darkness draws near
The coven appears
Weaving together a spell
All through the night
Performing their rites
Calling the demons from hell
The prisoners they take
Are tied to a stake
To go through a trial by fire
Cursing their names
They scream as the flames
Grow to get higher and higher...
Trial by fire
In dark dampened caves
No one was saved
Satan had watched their cremation
On the other side
Watching with pride
And greeting them all with elation
The victims they send
To go to their end
To go through a trial by fire
Cursing their names
They scream as the flames
Grow to get higher and higher...
Trial by fire
Watch for a while as they go through their trial
Into the fire the flames growing higher
Sing with elation and see their cremation
The bodies are burning and Satan's returning
6. Starflight
Darkness is all around
You won't know day from night
Helpless there's no laws here
There are no wrongs or rights
On a starflight
Your retro - rockers burn
On a starflight
Gods will your safe return
Sometimes you can forget
You're from the human race
Does no one care for the fate
Of our ships in deepest face
On a starflight
Your retro - rockers burn
On a starflight
Gods will your safe return
Vessels from other worlds
Come through this constant gloom
Each one another threat
Each one could seal your doom
On a starflight
Your retro - rockers burn
On a starflight
Gods will your safe return
For not passing your test
You'll get hell without rest
You'll have tears in your eyes
But they won't hear your cries
On a starflight
7. Dead Man's Gold
On the day that we set sail
The sun rose on a shiny sea
Spray fell in a misty veil
And we were free
We heard tales in the tavern
We heard the legends told
Of one man's buried treasure
The story of a dead man's gold
For three months we had sailed
On rough and stormy seas
Heading for an inland cove
To find our destiny
On the voyage we all remembered
All the stories we'd been told
Of one man's buried treasure
The stories of a dead man's gold
When we saw the headland rising
Blue skies and pure white sands
With our hopes held in our hearts
And our maps held in our hands
Soon our dreams has all been shattered
We believed the lies of old
We spend our whole lives chasing fables
The ghosts of a dead man's gold
8. Treachery (Ride like the Wind)
To gain the king's glory
They'll fabricate stories and lie
They've offered me reasons
But murder and treason, not I
Must ride like the wind
Treachery
Will be the death of us all
I must find my master
Before this disaster arrives
We surely are done for
And now we must run for our lives
Must ride like the wind
Treachery
Will be the death of us all
I must keep on riding
There's no use in hiding my tracks
If you lead a good life
You'll end up with a knife in your back
Must ride like the wind
Treachery
Will be the death of us all
9. Son of Odin
When you're in danger
You feel your life blood slip away
Then you wonder
Do the Gods hear you when you pray?
But if you stand strong
Don't let your spirit ever die
Then he'll send down
A winged avenger from on high
Oh, oh the Son of Odin
He's coming...
When the suns rise from the west
That's the time that you should start to pray
When the eagle leaves the nest
That's the sign that he is on his way
The Son of Odin
So when you're weary
And you feel like giving in
Don't surrender, no.
Never let the tyrants win
Oh, oh the Son of Odin
He's coming...
When the suns rise from the west
That's the time that you should start to pray
When the eagle leaves the nest
That's the sign that he is on his way
The Son of Odin
