EMERALD LYRICS

1. The Wanderer

I've been wandering for all my life
Through this vale of pain and strife
I've seen ages passing by
And men always tried to find

The sense in their life, a way to survive
The days here on earth in times of woe and dearth
They try and try until the day they die
But blinded by vanity they just cannot see

I'm the wanderer who saves you in the night
I'm the wanderer who will lead you to light

I knew you from the start and I saw into your heart
I will set you free, oh why can't you see?
Wander home with me; I will guide you to the key
Which will last forevermore and will open up the door to eternity

I've been wandering for all time
Seen disgrace and men's grime
But still I carried on

I have wandered to world's end
Just to lead you home my friend
Where grief will be gone

When your feet are dull and soar
I will bring you to the door
Just rest upon my hands
And I'll show you your life's sense

I've been wandering through distress
To bring you hope and blessedness
In this vale of moan and tears
I will take away your fears

I'm the wanderer who saves you in the night
I'm the wanderer who will lead you to light

In darkness I appear, call the lost so they may hear
My words abound in truth and their anguish may be soothed
Drink from my well, in my arms they shall dwell
I will feed the poor so they won't starve anymore

I fought battles from the start to save your abandoned heart
And I died to set you free, oh will you ever see?

Just come, wander home with me; I will guide you to the key
Which will last forevermore and will open up the door to eternity

2. The Last Legion

We were raised as warriors
Our descent is vast
We will come to chime the judgement bell

We were born prepared
Holy blood in our veins
We will return to break with the past

Blood is on our flag,
Reduced to ash
In the fading light

All our heroes have died
Revive our hearts
Broken apart

We are facing the sun
Heads held up high
Now's the time to die

We wield our forebears' blade
Parting darkness and light
Our credence is imperturbable

We will be reborn
When we reunite
With all our might, in grandeur

Through the mist, wafting signs
Blood trickles in my brain
Sacred doom
Comes over me, not in vain

I cannot escape the new reign
But I can prevail over death
I will follow the just
So we'll be victory led

The Last Legion
The Last Legion
The Last Legion
Undone!

3. Pipes Are Calling

By night they came
Brought fire and pain
Murdered and plundered
And vanished in haze

Fathers and sons
Sworn to fight
And to resist with all their might

For our descendants will be free
We will hold on

Pipes are calling
Summoning us to war
The blare of battle horns
Are calling from afar
Oh brothers of the oath
Let's hear our battle cry
We're ready to die

Gather your weapons
Carry the call
The pipes are playing
With glory we'll fall

Beloved ones
Farewell to you
There's no way back
We follow the tune of war

For our descendants will be free
We will hold on

Pipes are calling...

„Oh, we march again
Through mist and rain
Towards the battlefield
Clouds are gathering
Thunder and lightning crushes the sky
As we will crush the enemy"

And if we fall in battle as free men
With swords in our hands
The pipes then will play our requiem
Our names will live on
Till the end of time
When these days have bygone

Pipes are calling...

4. Where's Your God

"Kneel down and pray
Kneel down and do what we say
For remission of sins, subscribe and pay
You'd better follow the rules or hell awaits"

You always live in anxiety
To comply with the orders of a church decree
Never ask who wrote these rules for men
Never ask who benefits by them

Time is passing by
A life as slave to man-made rules

Where's your god?
Don't look at the church
Where's your god?
Don't look to the sky
Where's your god?
Just look inside you!
Where's your god?
God's in you!

"Obey to me
Obey or you won't be free
Your blind devotion is the key
To save your soul eternally"

Judging others is the easy way
In the name of the cross they damn and slay
Ignoring nature and the miracle of life
Heaven and hell, here on earth, made by mankind

Time is passing by
A life as slave to man-made rules

Where's your god?
Don't look at the church
Where's your god?
Don't look to the sky
Where's your god?
Just look inside you!
Where's your god?
God's in you!

Where is god? Not in a church
Where is god? Not in a temple of gold
Where is god? Feel it deep inside
Where is god? God's in you!

Where's your god?
God's in you!

5. Alteration

From our birth until our death
We are constrained to adapt
the dogmas of society

We must exploit our life
And burst our chains of duty
Let us break out!

Forget all expectations
We are free and here to live
and experience

Your life will turn
Your world will change
Life is so short
Don't waste your time

Did you know you are diseased?
Your infect is an illness
Which we all call death

Therefore use your energy
Savour every moment of your time

Forget all expectations
We are free and here to live
and experience

Your life will turn
Your world will change
Life is so short
Don't waste your time

6. Secret Agenda

You should be afraid of terrorism and extremists
A permanent danger - New pandemics
Misery and distress in the third world countries
The climate change, the world's new worries

„Dear citizen of this free country
We have fantastic solutions for all your problems!"

Camera eyes everywhere, the eye in the sky
Microchip implants for everyone, don't ask why
Gene mutated food and seed
Ordered mass inoculations, now we lead

You don't want these fantastic solutions?
Soon you will beg for them!"

It is already too late
Our temptations encouraged you
The apocalypse is due

The old plan - Near to completion
Mankind is slaved - Invisible chains
Freedom and democracy - The perfect delusion
Secret Agenda - World's intrusion
Secret Agenda - No illusion
Secret Agenda - World's intrusion!

All the different religions - an endless fight
We reign from other dimensions, out of your sight
Soon humanity awakes and smells the fuse
We changed the code of law, no more chance to accuse

„All sheeps into the stable now, one after the other
Get yourself your brand, the mark of your new master"

It is already too late
Our temptations encouraged you
The apocalypse is due

The old plan - Near to completion
Mankind is slaved - Invisible chains
Freedom and democracy - The perfect delusion
Secret Agenda - World's intrusion
Secret Agenda - No illusion
Secret Agenda - World's intrusion!

The world is a madhouse near the last hour
All hungry for riches, recognition and power
Humanity - a lost and blind mass
Such an easy game for us

The old plan - Near to completion
Mankind is slaved - Invisible chains
Freedom and democracy - The perfect delusion
Secret Agenda - World's intrusion
Secret Agenda - No illusion
Secret Agenda - World's intrusion!

Secret Agenda - To destroy the light
Secret Agenda - To slave mankind
Secret Agenda - To reign over you!

7. The One

Forces of doom
Turned our world into ash
An empire of endless gloom
Heading for the final clash

Seeking for the one
Who divides the dark from the light
Even though all hope had gone
His presence expels the fright

Drums of doom awaiting the hour
To herald the gloom
They will roar soon...

Standing alone
On these fields of war
He'll carry on
The truth forevermore

All by his own
Following destiny
In the unknown
We'll perceive
He is... The One

Lying in wait
Under the darkened sky
Ready to devastate
The spawn of lie

Through the valley of shadows
The evil troops shall reach
Onto these once green meadows
Where the one waits in his breach

Drums of doom awaiting the hour
To herald the gloom
They will roar soon...

Standing alone...

Fuelled by anger, but without hate
Defeating one by one
His will to resist will never fade
Until this fight is won

Standing alone...

8. Witches Tower

A fierce force took possession of my mind
Letting in all the wicked thoughts and greed
Keeping out all the signals of warning
Subconsciously I stay forever in her need

Oh... Oh.... Caught in Witches Tower
Oh... Oh.... Subdue to her power
Oh... Oh... Lost in witches fortress
Oh... Oh.... Be slave to her caress
until the final hour

Many men before were trying to escape her
One by one she left them lying in the dust
Hooked, the minute she eyes upon her victim
You can take her up, but never handle her lust

Oh... Oh.... Caught in Witches Tower
Oh... Oh.... Subdue to her power
Oh... Oh... Lost in witches fortress
Oh... Oh.... Be slave to her caress
until the final hour

I sneak in with a sword to strike her dead
She would not wither me with a glance
Win or die, I credit this to my bravery
Suddenly her burning gaze takes me back
to the trance

Oh... Oh.... Caught in Witches Tower
Oh... Oh.... Subdue to her power
Oh... Oh... Lost in witches fortress
Oh... Oh.... Be slave to her caress
until the final hour

9. Winterlude

[Instrumental]

10. Until My Winter Comes

I remember bygone days
Dreams were blooming like an aster in the haze
In the springtide of my life
There was convincement my desires all would thrive

Then the winds were getting bleaker
But my hopes didn't wither away

Seas may roar
And storms may scourge the shore
Trees may bow
As they wait in fear for snow
Leaves may fall
Cause they obey the autumn's call
But though time runs
An aster stands tall until the winter comes

Summer passed away so fast
Safe in the knowledge that an aster still would last
Though the days got gray and cold
I'm still wondering what boon life will unfold

Though the winds are getting bleaker
My hopes won't wither away

Seas may roar
And storms may scourge the shore
Trees may bow
As they wait in fear for snow
Leaves may fall
Cause they obey the autumn's call
But though time runs
An aster stands tall until the winter comes

Until my winter comes...

11. Mark Of The Beast

Unconcluded days of old
Don't come back, the story's told

Still they stay in my life
Like a part made to fit
The spirit has survived
And returns to come alive

Are we bound by our desire?
Can the spark revive the fire?

We might fail in the end
And would have to move on
Fate cannot pretend
Our future we'll defend

The time is here
I will not fear
To choose my path

Embrace the light
Rejoin the fight
We are standing tall
So we will not fall

To the Mark of the Beast

Get down on your knees
Be grateful to the gods
We get a chance to be born again
If we deny the profane sign

The Mark of the Beast

12. Mutiny

Darkness swaps over our ship
The night falls and replaces the whip
Tyranny is the captain's name
Torture is his favourite game
But I won't close my eyes no longer
I won't close my eyes no longer

Quick wake our men and tell them to
Fight with us or die with the captain
There is no other choice
And if they stir some noise
Then strike them down to death
Strike them down to death

Light the torch, load the gun
Kill the guards who stand against us
Known faces, comrades of yesterday
Their loyalty is their doom

Unlock the door of the weaponry
Take gun, powder and sabre
Get armed - be prepared
Be ready for the final battle

I smell gun powder
The sound of clashing iron fills the air
Blood spills around
Bodies covering the ground

Oppression has to find an end
I'll break this tyranny
Oppression has to find an end
I'll break this tyranny

Fight with us
Or die with them
Mutiny
Take over the ship
Gun powder in the air
Ending this nightmare
For our freedom
For our freedom

Time for steel - time for blood
Cut’em down, a bloody harvest
Open fire - no one shall be spared
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth

Swarm on deck as vengeful sailors
Storm the wardroom - a sanguinary pack
Kill the officers, enchain the captain
We're ending now this brutal regime

I smell gun powder
The sound of clashing iron fills the air
Blood spills around
Bodies covering the ground

Oppression has to find an end
I'll break this tyranny
Oppression has to find an end
I'll break this tyranny

Fight with us
Or die with them
Mutiny
Take over the ship
Gun powder in the air
Ending this nightmare
For our freedom
For our freedom

Taste your whip -
I took over your ship
Taste your whip -
I took over your ship
Taste your whip -
I took over your ship
Taste your whip -
I took over your ship

The reaper is dancing to the final clash of steel
A last drop of blood spills over the planks
The moon is shining through the lifting smoke
Tired and wounded, but conquered we have

Outlaws - now - hunted and despised
Though - alive - and free
In our hands - the ship - and our destiny
We - will sail - to new horizons

Fight with us
Or die with them
Mutiny -
Take over the ship
Gun powder in the air
Ending this nightmare
For our freedom
For our freedom
