"King Of Nothing"

"King Of Nothing"


In the year before we lost our empire
We were children on the march
We were told we had to serve our empire and die
In our wake we only left destruction
Sent their children to the graves
In the year before we lost our empire and died

The war was lost but we went on
Our king was dead and in the end nobody won

We were told to march to death and glory
We were told it's for our land
In the end our tribe was left with nothing and died
In the time when all our hearts were frozen
We were soldiers for the king
In our wake we left their castles burning and died

The war was lost but we went on
And when the harvest came we found our king was gone

The war was lost but we went on
And when we paid the price we found our king was gone
The war was lost but we fought on
The war was lost and in the end nobody won

"Know The Difference"

"Know The Difference"


To see the things in a brand new light
Not to give up without a fight
To surrender is not in my sight
I'm a child of the universe
In the noisy confusion of life
Where uncertainty rules my way
It's so easy to go astray
I got to keep strong and bold

Give me a way to accept things
I cannot change anymore
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference

In the midst of the darkness
There's a voice that you know so well
Lifts you up from the madness where you dwell
Don't give in to the hopelessness
Keep the innocence in your heart
And the end before your start
Be the warrior of the light
Don't give up without a fight

"Last Shore"

"Last Shore"


I will call for you,
Said the man to the fool as he rode,
Out with his gold in his hand.
Finally I know the truth, thought the fool to himself,
I really understand.

Paradise calling me,
After life, eternity.
No more life, the divine set me free...

Gloria, (Gloria),
Is awaiting me there.
Gloria is my destiny.
Gloria, (Gloria),
Is awaiting me there.
Gloria is my destiny.

Many years have passed,
No one came, not a sign from the gods,
No one believes the end of the world.

Paradise calling me,
After life, eternity.
No more life, the divine set me free...

Gloria, (Gloria),
Is awaiting me there.
Gloria is my destiny.
Gloria, (Gloria),
Is awaiting me there.
Gloria is my destiny.
I come home...

Gloria!

"Lead Us Into The Lights"

"Lead Us Into The Lights"


Hey you take a look around
Can you feel the change begin?
Soon it will be too late
If you don't wake up
Outside the winds are bloring
And the people are staring so cold
The look that's in their eyes
Tells me something's wrong

Lead us into the light

It's so strange
We have gone too far
Still knowing what will happen
When we close our eyes
Is this the hell on earth?
And the heaven is out of our sight
Open your eyes and realize
It's not too late

Lead us into the light

"Learning To Fly"

"Learning To Fly"


Life will go on
Soon it is gone
It's bigger that we can conceive
Wink of an eye
A thousand years
Into eternity we shed our tears

I'm changing,
Rearranging my destiny

Learning to fly
Touching sky on my way
Learning to fly
High above the sorrows
To a new day I fly

Not where you stand
Nor where you are
It matters only where you look
To take the good
With (all that's) bad
It is the only way to go

The minutes
The hours
The years
Run fast

Learning to fly
Touching sky on my way
Learning to fly
High above the sorrows
To a new day I fly

Learning to fly
Touching sky on my way
Learning to fly
High above the sorrows I fly

Learning to fly
Touching sky on my way
Learning to fly
High above the sorrows
To a new day I fly

"Leave The Tribe"

"Leave The Tribe"


Listen to what I have to say
We could get out of here today
I'll take you with me if you want to go
New kind of place, just let me know

I am a man, I'm not a child
And I am free, 'cause I can feel

We just have to get away
We have nowhere left to stay
We can run and we can hide
We just have to leave the tribe

Doing things in our own way
We'll just let the others stay
Those who fought and those who lied
We just have to leave the tribe

Leave the tribe!

Everything is always the same
They try to make you play their game
"This is the way", you're being told
Bet hear me out, you can't be sold

And still they roll like pigs in the mud
While you have the fire burning inside

We just have to get away....

"Legions"

"Legions"


Far in the core of the earth,
First it was given birth.
We heard the call the message was so clear.
The tracks were laid for the future to come.

Sons and daughters of the Rising Sun,
The armies in Europe here we come.
We run like the wind, we play from the heart,
Now we are here together we sing.

Faster than light,
Higher than the sky,
Tonight we're together again.
We never give up, never give in,
Stronger than steel
We're the legions of the twilight.

Battle of the day

We survived the hard times,
Never accepted the lies,
You run like the wind, you sing from the heart.
Now that we're here together we'll sing.

Faster than light...
Higher than the sky,
Tonight we're together again.
We never give up, never give in,
Stronger than steel
We're the legions of the twilight.

Battle of the day

When we have to go back home again,
We'll keep the mem'ries we gained inside our hearts.

[2x]
Faster than light,
Higher than the sky,
Tonight we're together again.
We never give up, never give in,
Stronger than steel
We're the legions of the twilight

Battle of the day
Battle of the day

Legions of the twilight
Legions of the twilight

Raise your hands for us!

"Liberty"

"Liberty"


Sun is shining
Sky is so blue
I'm filled with hope
It's promising
The course my life is taking
Searching of my truth has brought me here
Facing things with confidence
That all will be OK
Past is gone
Life goes on
Memories remain
I break the chain of misery and pain

Marching to a different drum
Shines my liberty
It's growing stronger every day
I feel it in me
Leading me to a different world
Freedom shows the way
It's there for you and me to find
It's heaven on earth

I'm standing here today and understand
There is no reason to hide anymore
So many things to see so many things to gain
My life is not in vain

"Lifetime In A Moment"

"Lifetime In A Moment"


"Omnia sol temperat, purus et subtilis.
Novo mundo reserat faciem Aprilis"

From the dark, I watch you go away
I will never see you...
Again

Every passing day prolongs my pain
I am slowly fading...
Into the void

Voice without a sound
A sound that no one cares to hear
A second round to live your life
Just passed away

Moment in a lifetime
Lifetime in a moment

Seize the say, don't let it slip...
Away
Cherish every moment...
Before it's gone

Voice without a sound
A sound that no one cares to hear
A second round to live your life
Just passed away
Moment in a lifetime
Lifetime in a moment

[Solo ‒ Matias]

Moment in a lifetime
Lifetime in a moment

Moment in a lifetime
Lifetime in a moment

"Lord Of The Wasteland"

"Lord Of The Wasteland"


I'm going back through time
before the war this crime
who would have believed
that they would do it
One April morning
without a warning
the sirens woke us up
two minutes to live we got

I'm dying I'm crying
still I'm the lord
I'm fighting denying
still I'm the lord
of the wasteland

Now I'm alone here
the last man on earth I'll be
walking through chaos land
there's just black mist and sand

I'm dying I'm crying
still I'm the lord
I'm fighting denying
still I'm the lord
of the wasteland
