ELIXIR LYRICS

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
