VELVET VIPER LYRICS

1. Merlin

Fascinated by the stone
Zed Yago fell in a hole
Through dimensions
Without any control

She met down under
The world from over yonder
The greatest of all wizards
Merlin, priest of superstition

If you need help
Send a call up here
Strong willpower only
Makes Merlin appear
A spirit force
And fantasy
Priest of superstition is Merlin

Merlin, druid of the Celts
Showed her his world
And King Arthur's table
With the knights who were able

To guard the gates of Camelot
No magic, whatever
Whatever could stop
The ruin, ruin of Camelot

If you need help
Send a call up here
Brave willpower only
Makes Merlin appear
A spirit force
And fantasy
The priest of superstition is Merlin

Queen and priest, witch and the beast
Druid and dwarf, all live there, hidden and apart

If you need help
Send a call up here
Brave willpower only
Makes Merlin appear
A spirit force
And fantasy
Priest of superstition is Merlin

If you need help
Send a call up here
Brave willpower only
Makes Merlin appear
A spirit force
And fantasy
Priest of superstition is Merlin

2. Brainsuckers: Thommyknockers

Maybe a poetry-creation
Sometimes the result of fantasy
Maybe a writer's invention
Tomorrow it will be reality

Devouring only human spirit
Alien invasion
Glutton beasts all over
Every nation

Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the day of doom
Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the blood on the moon

Maybe they live in a deadman's swamp
Foul treasure under their knees
That's where the ghosts of men once killed
Guard the fantastic seeds

There, where no colour can be
They're waiting to come
Jungle of fantasy
Restless on the run

Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the day of doom
Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the blood on the moon

Black letters telling us more and more
We make the same mistakes just like we did before

Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the day of doom
Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the blood on the moon
Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the day of doom
Thommyknockers, brain-eaters
See the blood on the moon

3. Perceval

Search to find the mystic grail
Reach out for rainbow's light
Wish to live, forever young
Passion without fright

Love against the dark of night
Noble, brave and true
Journey into force of life
The power's all for you

A neverending quest for love
On the shore of memories
Timeless on a land of luck
The Ryche of spirit beneath

At the end of life, we are sure
But how to overcome the end
On the way to the grail
To the depth of experience

Fight back, Perceval
Find the wheel of fortune
Fight back, Perceval
And find the mystic grail
Fight back, Perceval
Find the wheel of fortune
Fight back, Perceval
And find the mystic grail

One man's always ready to go
To convince every tear
Wheel goes up and down with you
Immortality won't appear

Horn of plenty, a Grail's name
Made by druids of the Celts
Isa thousand years old
That's what the legend tells

Fight back, Perceval
Find the wheel of fortune
Fight back, Perceval
And find the mystic grail
Fight back, Perceval
Find the wheel of fortune
Fight back, Perceval
And find the mystic grail
Fight back, Perceval
Find the wheel of fortune
Fight back, Perceval
And find the mystic grail

4. HM Rebels

Too little to live
Too much to die
In a royal land
Call of the wild
Follow the yearning
It happened once upon a time

In the Kingdom
Of the giants
There's nothing left to win
Call of the sea
They had to find
The point of no return

Pirates out to serve
Service of HM
Rebels die hard
Heroes of HM
Her Majesty, rebels die hard

Sailed the sea
Bit the clouds
Until they got the call to fight
Buccaneers on Her
Her Majesty's service
Buccaneers now with all rights

Pirates out to serve
Service of HM
Rebels die hard
Heroes of HM
Her Majesty, rebels die hard

Fire, fire
Fire down below, fire

Pirates out to serve
Service of HM
Rebels die hard
Heroes of HM
Her Majesty, rebels die hard
Die hard

5. Parsifal

Take this, this is our heart
This is our soul
Take Rock 'n' Roll to prove you are alive

6. Millstone Of Rage

Her life has one way
No time to wait
She's on a mery-go-round

Blood so hot
Nothing can stop
Stop, the fow in her veins, no doubt

Millstone of rage
Grinds slowly but well
From heaven above
Through the world to hell
Millstone of rage
Grinds slowly but well
From heaven above
Through the world to hell

Fools of destruction
Bad satisfaction
Should not have the last word

Thoughts are free
Start and see
Trust and believe only your own roots

Millstone of rage
Grinds slowly but well
From heaven above
Through the world to hell
Millstone of rage
Grinds slowly but well
From heaven above
Through the world to hell

Somebody out there
You better take care
With your double-cross snake-bite

Cold as ice
She realized
The force of time's still on her side

Millstone of rage
Grinds slowly but well
From heaven above
Through the world to hell
Millstone of rage
Grinds slowly but well
From heaven above
Through the world to hell

7. Hammerhouse

Something grey came along
On a pale horse with blue eyes
He was riding on, so strong
Came from paradise

Up there in heaven he started the ride
A ride no one can beat
A burning fire yellow, red
A rain of evil seed

Hammerhouse of mystery
Knight of pale surprise
Leader of the fallen spirit
God of the flies
Hammerhouse of mystery
Knight of pale surprise
Leader of the fallen spirit
God of the flies
King of lies

And they gave him the power
That he would need
To rule the fourth part of the world
A one-way ticket, indeed

Hammerhouse of mystery
Knight of pale surprise
Leader of the fallen spirit
God of the flies
Hammerhouse of mystery
Knight of pale surprise
Leader of the fallen spirit
God of the flies
King of lies

What is the fourth part of the world
Number one is heaven, two is water
What is the fourth part of the world
Three is the earth and four is hell

Hammerhouse of mystery
Knight of pale surprise
Leader of the fallen spirit
God of the flies
Hammerhouse of mystery
Knight of pale surprise
Leader of the fallen spirit
God of the flies
King of lies
God of the flies
King of lies
God of the flies
Flies...
Flies...

8. World Behind The World

There is a world behind the world
Ruled by the lady of the sea
There is a world behind the world
Where every dream comes true

Once upon a time
A world called Avalon
Women's island, behind the stone
Search for the doors
Some large, some small
Take the chance to go to Avalon
Where elves are free

Once upon a time
Christians came along
And they injected the twilight of the gods
They had one God
One holy door
No one should wish to go to Avalon
Where elves are free

World behind the world
Ruled by the lady of the sea
World behind the world
Where every dream can be
Can be reality

Once upon a time
Doors vanished one by one
The goddess' home was out of sight
Temple's gate
Turned into stone
Now, no one can go no more to Avalon
Where elves are free

World behind the world
Ruled by the lady of the sea
World behind the world
Where every dream can be
Can be reality

World behind the world
Ruled by the lady of the sea
World behind the world
Where every dream can be
Can be reality

9. Icebreaker

Good enough is never enough for you
Stay your course
If you want to get through

No memories
Explaining love
Take a risk
Give what you're got

Icebreaker, she's on her way
Icebreaker, she's on her way to your frozen heart

Spare a thought
Before it's too late
No fear cause you'll find a way

Anvil beat
With a fist of steel
Sweat runs down
From your back to your heel

Icebreaker, she's on her way
Icebreaker, she's on her way to your frozen heart

Don't waste your time with foolish pride
Be self-confident

An anvil beat
With a fist of steel
Sweat runs down
From your back to your heel

Icebreaker, she's on her way to you
Icebreaker, she's on her way to you
Icebreaker, she's on her way
Icebreaker, she's on her way to your frozen heart

10. King Arthur

King Arthur's round table alive forever
King Arthur's round table is back in this song

There were two knights
Who became so bitterly jealous
They thought that one of the knights
Was better than the others
Jealousy is the purgatory of vanity

The brave knight
Called Lancelot
He was first
In tournaments
All men spoke well of him

This table, once so precious
Could not survive great King Arthur
But he's not dead, he still dwells on
In Avalon

No more is written
Of Arthur King
But he will come back
When his Kingdom is
Is in need of him

King Arthur's round table alive forever
King Arthur's round table is back in this song

King Arthur's round table alive forever
King Arthur's round table is back in this song
King Arthur's round table alive forever
King Arthur's round table is back in this song

11. Lost Children

The lost children in the dark
Fear the light, fear the light
The lost children in the dark
Will unite, will unite

Water means life
Pollution - we're to blame
The human race
Can't escape from the game

We're the lost children in the dark
Fear the light, fear the light
We're the lost children in the dark
We'll unite, we'll unite

The poison leads
You through the night
A passion for gold
Is making you blind

The lost children in the dark
Fear the light, fear the light
We will unite, we will unite
We will unite, we will unite
We will unite, we will unite
Fear the light, fear the light
We'll unite, we will unite
Unite
Unite

12. Ring Of Stone

In front of Stonehenge
Mysterious rocks
The air above
Smells secretly hot
Zed Yago walks through fog
Beware, beware, beware
Lest you fall

Go ask the sages
There was no wind
Gain access to all ages
To move the leaves
A shady past
Hear the call
Beware, beware, beware
Lest you fall

Ring of stone, ring of stone
Beware, beware, lest you fall
Ring of stone, ring of stone
Endless chain from down below

The temple was built
5000 years ago
It grew immensely
Stone by stone
Another world
A magic wall
Beware, beware, beware
Lest you fall

Ring of stone, ring of stone
Beware, beware, lest you fall
Ring of stone, ring of stone
Endless chain from down below
Where stones are live

Ring of stone, ring of stone
Beware, beware, lest you fall
Ring of stone, ring of stone
Endless chain from down below
Down below
