Forever cursed by this game, he who plays with sin
Incantations summoned up our creations We're players cast in this tale, believe it stranger than fiction This justice thunders our condemnation Falling into innocence by a shadow's kiss He speaks what mortals dare to say, will he betray? If you dare play the game - your descent preordained from their fiery thrones screaming, cursing your name On the terror it breeds - breathing fire and gree watch him jest as you bleed... Screaming enter the Damnation Game We can not keep our heads clear, or our tongues from evil by this sword, certain death at our own hands To have no wants is divine - untrue! platinum waves tainted gold, we can only watch from the shores Falling into innocence by a shadow's kiss He speaks what mortals dare to say, will he betray? If you dare play the game - your descent preordained from their fiery thrones screaming, cursing your name On the terror it breeds - breathing fire and gree watch him jest as you bleed... Screaming enter the Damnation Game If you dare play the game - your descent preordained from their fiery thrones screaming, cursing your name On the terror it breeds - breating fire and greed watch him laugh as you bledd... Screaming enter the Damnation Game * Repeat (x2) |

Dark desires of the cynic queen
laugher echoes her name He feels his breath decay Opens the past to an empty page Watch his life drain away Arrival - dressed to kill, scarlet memories Watching and waiting for curtains to fall Arrival - dressed to kill, it's a tragedy Could you feel sympathy or pain? In a desolate room, the canvas bleeds He slides through his chair rendered prince of fools Dire thoughts of her begotten son, Watch his life drain away Watch his life fade away Arrival - dressed to kill, scarlet memories Watching and waiting for curtains to fall Arrival - dressed to kill, it's a tragedy Could you feel sympathy or pain? Arrival - dressed to kill, scarlet memories Watching and waiting for curtains to fall Arrival - dressed to kill, it's a tragedy Could you feel sympathy or pain? |

Passing through the void
The darkest grand illusion Chaos is riding on the wind Destroyed in agony They create a maddened lair Summon all to heed their cry Innocence fading away - the dying eyes of prey *Desperate cries, hail of fire deciding All our fate in the night Tempt in sin, shadows then begin to Gather the souls they hold within Victims of desire Pestilence of their invasion Forms then take on evil waves Paralyze, victimize The shadows fall and enter fast from the sky - (from the sky) Summon all to heed their cry Innocence fading away - the dying eyes of the prey * Repeat I've betrayed - slowly fade I repent my inner plea I've denied - sanctified Cannot hide form this monstrosity I'm immersed in a curse Of this jaded imagery Realize that your cries Only jeopardize this legacy * Repeat (x2) |

Today I've seen the shallow face I wear
Inside this shell, a living hell endures I'm held captive by my fear, decaying hope and wasted years The knife of time carves another line around these eyes Good and evil - lust primeval Dragging me into a sea of lies Losing faith in who I am Never changing just rearranging my life again Through into an eternal abyss I fall, Silent screams through paper walls I pray someday the sun will shine on me again (shine on me again) Good and evil - lust primeval Dragging me into a sea of lies Lies ... lies ... Lies ... lies ... |

In the house of my master
Beyond the chains there is a bed of snakes where evil lays Oh, I hear laughter I forged the iron bars that someday will imprison me Ooh, mother will you help me Mother will you help me To find a reason to go on *Out of the ashes of my youth - I rise a man And through the eyes of truth - I finally understand The way I've been beaten with his words and whipped whith his lies He will not break me down no matter how hard he tries Pray for my lost soul Out of control the storm inside me rages on and on and on Mother will you help me Mother will you help me To find a reason to go on * Repeat (x3) |

(PART I) At the Four Corners of the Earth
Lyrics: Romeo, Pinnella On the edge of paradise Tears of woe fall, cold as ice Hear my cry Renounce, have you, thy name Eternal is my pain Eternal is the pain that leads me to the thrones of temptation Eternal is the pain that leads me to the thrones of temptation ... (Part II) In the Room of Thrones (instrumental) (PART III) A Gathering of Angels Lyrics: Romeo There was a time ... When nine choirs sang the endless melody of light Music of the spheres Threre was a place ... Where mortals embraced thunder and majesty Their fate lay in our hands Feel my wings slowly fading - forever lost in time - I cry (PART IV) The Wrath Divine Lyrics: Romeo, Miller The burning conflict I'm feeling It summons me to descend into the other side And just beyond the stars blazing A beam light from a red, velvet moon illuminates me I will devise, from perfect skies A dark and vengeful day Faith and mercy gone astray With strength of infinite measure The mighty sword divides order from chaos in the kingdom below And from the mansions of glory, This empty soul cries out one final plea ... The end has begun Our worlds collide, now in disguise, You'll feel the Wrath Divine Tears of woe fall from the sky ... (PART V) The Prophet's Cry Lyrics: Romeo The prophet cries Vast battalions rage on in the sky Rising rom the north - the bringer of war Eve of destruction Summon all who have 'power over fire' Impending doom from shore to shore Standing on the edge of paradise I sacrifice my truth and loyalty Seven deadly sins consume you all, a dance with death I taste the victory (Eternal is the pain that leads me to temptation) Rising from the north - the warrior prince Judgement without compassion eyes of fear Like the river styx, the gates of hell - "Abandon hope all ye who enter here" The prophets cry As armies fall from the edge of the sky The Prince of truth, now the bringer of war The day of wrath Banish all kings from the face of the land Dominion for strength is my name (PART VI) Bringer of the Apocalypse (instrumental) Eve of Sacrifice/Armies in the Sky/Dies trae (PART VII) Paradise Regained lyrics, Allen, Pinnella Looking out on a blue sky I can see a new world arising Like a prisoner unbound I feel the power and the majesty again Looking up to the heavens I can see what I left behind Beneath the stars, moon and warm sun And all I know, is my paradise has begun ... |

Just one more night
One more score Another question in my mind, can't take no more Kissing the tears form my face as they fall To the ground in silence in twilight and faded time Spirits cold, with no love Bells ring a lonely chime Candle fires These lit dreams can't burn alone Winds of change bring songs upon my memory An empty heart and soul intoxicates me This darkened page orchestrates my final destiny Not knowing what, what tomorrow will bring *From within the mirrors eyes I'm forced to run away and hide I feel those mystic eyes subside And leave my blind Through passages in time A prisoner locked beind the door Lonely roses slowly wither and die I can't escape this captive misery Heart stone cold, under supremacy Thrown into a raging sea of tyranny Lifes vile walls have tangled me in threads Eternally caught in my futures threads Play the violent strings of my symphony Transcend the absence of this fantasy Just another vision Washed away with the tide No place for forgotten ones I cannot deny What lies beyond, beyond this fantasy * Repeat |

It's all perpetual dreams, this hidden life ain't what it seems
Walking dead we are Victims of misfortune and lies, and tortured bringers of demise Circling above like vultures They reap the harvest that we sew and take, like trusting fools Promising charade All days now disappear from weeks to months, from months to years Forever bound, shackled to the wall The night falls, I've seen 1000 moons rising in the sky The night calls, I feel the midnight as it slowly cloaks my eyes Touched by the kiss of the sunrise Live with shadows and fears--behind smoke and mirrors Try to turn back the years--living inside smoke and mirrors Sacred and serpentine, a hypnotizing twisted theme Weaves our souls to roar Like candles in the wind, our echoed cries above the din Fade into this faceless sculpture In the wheel of chance and fate, spinning as we watch and wait A mystery to us all On the edge of sanity, we tread the seas of destiny Forever bound, silent voices call The night falls, I've seen 1000 moons rising in the sky The night calls, I feel the midnight as it slowly cloaks my eyes Touched by the kiss of the sunrise Live with shadows and fears--behind smoke and mirrors Try to turn back the years--living inside smoke and mirrors Live with shadows and fears--behind smoke and mirrors Try to turn back the years--living inside smoke and mirrors Ohh.....the night calls |

Look to the other side, reach the undefined
Curious to what she doesn't know Step through the empty air, reveal what wasn't there A fantasy-her looking glass world Is it as it seems? Or just a dream within a dream (dream within, dream within a dream) Like she's been here before, locked behind the door Held within the grasp of mystic hands Everything's so strange, the same but rearranged Through a bird's eye view-Can it all be true? The final answer she seeks, with the three to be crowned Queen Essence of rule divides the land-YEAH! Dark shape, above in the sky, captures her prismatic eye Again she walks in wonder, With no, with no tearful good-byes Part II Alice...Alice...Run Alice...Run And there she stood, in misery Searching for the final ring within A dream, (dream within a dream) Dream within a dream "I'm not afraid..." Part III Scepter in hand-all the numbers so deceiving The small dreaming child who wears the crown Watches the pieces falling down Like knights in the game-her next move is so unsure 'Waken the Queen of Nevermore Hidden behind the royal doors White on her right, Red on her left Talking in riddles, on ears fallen deaf "Stop with all the lies", all the questions so confusing Answer the riddles they deny, losing hope, the child cries Dream on... Do you believe...all the things that you're seeing are true? The start's where the end's leading you Do you believe...all's as twisted as one would perceive? Seek the answers...and soon you'll believe The royal child, in a rage of desperate fury Shattering all that lies before, screaming dolls fall to the floor Now remove the masque, that's obscuring this dimension Illusions so clear to me now, her invention is unwound Escape the dream- like an unwritten book There at my feet-lies the knight, the queen and the rook Dream on... Do you believe...all the things that you're seeing are true? The start's where the end's leading you Do you believe...all's as twisted as one would perceive? Seek the answers...and soon you'll believe Dream on... Do you believe...all the things that you're seeing are true? The start's where the end's leading you Do you believe...all's as twisted as one would perceive? Seek the answers...and soon you'll believe |
