"Damned For All Time"

"Damned For All Time"


[Lead: Andre]

Conquer the whole world to satisfy
Their lust for pain and terror
Disguise their faces to hide them
In the dark Determination

The oath on the runestaff is the highest
The ruin of a nation Step by step Destiny

[Lead: Andre]

Damned for all time - but what's time
Tales of the one who's born to change

And as the earth was old and cold
She closed her eyes and fell to sleep
Violation ruled the world
The dark kingdom's time

He's called Hawkmoon wearing a sign
Black jewel in his head
He's the one who's forever there
He's born a thousand times

[Ref:]
Damned for all time In every age he existed
Damned for all time In every future he'll live
For all time He's crying He's crying

Hey strange one I know you're standing there
The faces are they mine?
Are you out there?
Watch out for the day, friend I'll know your name
Hear my laughter

Oblivion - who's blowing the horn
Oblivion - who's killing the gods

[Ref:] Damned...

[Solo: Andre]

Dark kingdom's lost now. No pain storms the land
Strange things are happening. Changing of all planes
In the universe by a bad magician
To conquer the power of this magic
A place where truth waits must be found Tanelorn

Damned for all time - who am I?
Once I've been called Erekose

I was Elric - I'll be Corum I'm the prince of the south ice
Now I'm nothing Wait for someone Wait for Ilian No! I'm Hawkmoon

Oblivion - the war is eternal
Oblivion - the battle is endless

[Ref:] Damned...

"Dead Of The Night"

"Dead Of The Night"


Every night I hear thunder.
The shadow, can't you see?
So one night I will follow.
The dark side reigns in me.

(He) leads me to the dark plains.
The end is near, I feel.
But (I've) never seen his damned face.
My hearts pound hard in fear.

Dead of the night, take me away.
Dead of the night, he's looking for you.

A hundred solemn faces,
they look at me and laugh.
But if one wants to touch them,
they glow through nothingness.

If I come to tell you,
you look at me and laugh.
I never found the doctor,
so one day I'll be mad.

In that night I follow.
No pain, no work, no more.
He leads me on through the dark realm.
My sense grows far too dense.

[Guitar solo]

Dead of the night, take me away.
Dead of the night, he's looking for you.

They will not take me easy.
No love will come through death.
I take them on and kill myself.
And just feel emptiness.

Now you see them rising,
but no one knows but me.
So, don't try (to) follow a demon
and wait for a last attack.

In that night I follow.
No pain, no work, no more.
He leads me on through the dark realm.
My sense grows far too dense.

Dead of the night, take me away.
Dead of the night, he's looking for you.
Dead of the night.

"Dead Sound Of Misery"

"Dead Sound Of Misery"



It's dark
Let's do it now
Bring in the sirens
Cut of their tongues
Do it now
Ignore their cries
Ignore their cries
Now close the door
And leave it
Nothing went wrong
The Archangel is falling
Mourners split
Take heart of grace
A ghostly candle light
Lit my room at night
Son of man
We're breeding wastelands
Wastelands

The blood of Sirens
On my hands
I can't wash away
Still it pours
And stains our land
In bitterness
So cruel
Will ages go by
Dead sound of misery
Come share our sorrows
Be one with the Hydra

It's drown or burn
I'm exploring bedlam
The time is right to move
Furthermore
Bring out the dead
Turn your back
On the ones you have loved
Enjoy the heat of your whore
Babylon
Hear what the spirits says
There is no sense at all
Now come with me
Unfold the seals
No sense at all
No sense at all
There is no sense at all
So many times I have failed
Pure desperation
Still hear the cries
Of voices
Long gone by
They've gone abroad
And left this world behind
Leave me behind
Behind the walls I'm crying

The blood of Sirens...

So many times I have failed
Pure desperation
Still hear the cries
Of voices
Long gone by
They've gone abroad
And left this world behind
Leave me behind
Behind the walls I'm crying

The blood of Sirens...

"Don't Break The Circle"
(originally by Demon)

"Don't Break The Circle"
(originally by Demon)



Don't break the circle
Don't break the circle

Concentrate!
I'm your contact link across the great divide
Many voices in my ear
Hold on I think there's something coming through
From the other side. It's for all those who believe
The chain is stronger if the lifeline is unbroken
So beware the presence of The Unexpected Guest

Don't break the circle
Don't break the circle

Unexplained
Many things we thought were lost may come to light
On a higher plain in the spirit world
Where only a few of us possess the second sight
Now the messenger awaits
The chain is stronger if the lifeline is unbroken
So beware the presence of The Unexpected Guest

Don't break the circle
Don't break the circle.The circle must keep going on and on

But wait
Is there one amongst us here who believes?
A stranger to the sign
Take care, for all the things you fear
May be revealed
Within the forces of the night
The chain is stronger if the lifeline is unbroken
So beware the presence of The Unexpected Guest

Don't break the circle
Don't break the circle
Don't break the circle
Don't break the circle
The circle must keep going on and on
The circle must keep going on and on

(tribute to Ronnie James Dio)

"Don't Talk To Strangers"
(tribute to Ronnie James Dio)



Don't talk to strangers
'cause they're only there to do you harm
Don't write in starlight
'cause the words may come out real
Don't hide in doorways
You may find the key that opens up your soul
Don't go to heaven 'cause it's really only hell
Don't smell the flowers
They're an evil drug to make you lose your mind
Don't dream of women
'cause they'll only bring you down

Hey you, you know me
You've touched me, but I'm real
I'm forever the one who lets you look and see
Can You feel me? I'm danger - I'm a stranger
And I
I'm darkness, I'm anger, I'm pain
I am the master
The evil song you sing inside your brain, drive you insane
Don't talk
Don't let them inside your mind yeah
Run away, run away go
Don't let them in your mind, touch your soul

Don't dance in darkness
You may stumble and you're sure to fall
Don't write in starlight
'cause the words may come out real

Don't talk to strangers
'cause they're only there to make you sad
Don't dream of women
'cause they'll only bring you down

Run away

"Dream A Little Dream Of Me"

"Dream A Little Dream Of Me"



Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longin' to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars shining up above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Yes, dream a little dream of me

"Face The Truth"

"Face The Truth"


[Narrator:]
The moon, the sign of hope
It appeared when we left the pain of the ice-desert behind
We faced up to the curse and endured misery
Condemned we are
We brought hope, but also lies, and treachery

"Fast To Madness"

"Fast To Madness"


[Lead: Andre]

White hair and red eyes he is holding the crown
The king of the island Elric Melnibone
He's born for destruction
He's ruled by the Gods eternal hero
The scale of the universe

Blood on his hands he's born a thousand times
Why don't we feel the signs from the dragon king

[Lead: Andre]

Before the end of fire his journey starts
The eagle's spreading his wings following his fate
He's ruled from anywhere leads him to truth it's deep inside

Hail to the king they bless tonight
He's the Saviour of our time
In a dark land far behind no one knows its name
There's a dark sword cold as ice
A blade created for him

Stormbringer cries for the soul of everyone
Stormbringer cries "The ending has begun"

[Ref:]
Run fast to madness
Forever I
Run fast to madness
Leave him alone

[Solo: Andre]

[Ref:] Run...

Destiny calling him back to the island
And time? Time is standing still
Time is not real [2x]

Armed with weapon awaiting the fight
He's leading the dragon
The sun will never rise
Creatures are lurking in darkness they hide
High in the sky the dragon king is flying

[Lead: Andre]

Hail to the king of Melnibone
He's the Saviour of our time

Mourning desert rottenness
Blade of dark will rise
Gods divine are hiding in the dark
Needing Elric's hand

Stormbringer cries "I'm forged in darkest time"
Stormbringer cries "The ending has begun"

[Ref:] Run...

[Lead: Andre]

"Final Chapter (Thus Ends...)"

"Final Chapter (Thus Ends...)"


[Narrator:]
Thus ends the fifth battle
By the treachery of men the field is lost
The night falls and great is the triumph of evil
The league is broken
The last vestige of hope lives in the hidden king
Only he troubles the dark one's mind
Only he could bring ruin to the black foe
Though the land lies down in agony and the curse lives on
A new star shall arise
And a new day shall come, again

"Fly"

"Fly"



Stop be quite now
Out with the light and
Then up and down it goes

Fly
Out with the light
There at the door
The inspiration I've looked for
The spirit of the youth appears

No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
It's make believe
Make believe

No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
But one day
It all will come to life

Step out of line
And I'll teach you how to fly
Then away we'll go
Leave your mark land of mine
Leave your mark
In the land of mine

The second one to right
And then straight on
Until morning light

Stop be quite now
No irritation
No, not the slightest doubt

We got once
Quick - we better hurry
There from the road I sense
The end of fun gets near
Wonderful thoughts
And imaginations
These things will lift you up

What is it like?
You ask me, my dear
Will there be fairies
Or things to fear?
For fairies sake I'd say
You better come with me
So soon you'll see
Now up and down it goes
And round
Round and round and round

Praise
To my cleverness
They all follow me
All praise to innocence
That's everything it needs
Fly in
Fly out
They'll leave it all behind

No one ever dares to speak...

Life is a map
And it is quite confusing
The lights are up
Now let the play begin
She flies, she flies
Into the light she flies
No words like "Just" in mind
She's finding Neverland
There on the day she dies
Don't stop it now
She still enjoys the scene
Don't stop it now
Don't stop it now
Don't stop it now
Don't stop it now, now, now

No one ever dares to speak...
