I remember I was asking why
And someday you said I'd know All these years, of fighting hard And now it's finally come too close I can't believe it's now happening to me Oh, couldn't it wait a few hundred years Destiny can't rest you see, now it's time Time to cry your tears! Now cry! The child of centuries, forgotten in time You talk in circles of rhyme Seer of places future and past The warning you gave us is surely our last Warning! Warning! Warning! Behold the child, his pointing hand Is raised in solemn grace His eyes once wide with learning wonder Now leave stains upon his face Now see the hands of the working man He's leaning back against the wall Once busy hands are idle now Standing ready for the fall! Our fall! The signs will come as days past by For those that claim to see The blind will stay not choosing to die Not believing the visions I've seen Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! |

Light tracers follow me farther
Into the depths of unknown The blackness surrounding the border of hope We're alone We plead for the signs of a second chance In hopes it will stifle the fear The dying remains of a world gone insane We are near the end A course that will lead us through darkness Prepared by our leaders insist We mustn't all pray to the shadow of The iron fist We enter the void with our eyes straight ahead The force all around us we feel The twisted contusions of hatred will finally reveal Enforcer Master of nations revealed Enforcer The beams from his soul you will feel Slicing and tearing our way to the gate A towering fortress of blackened steel Desolate plains holding dying remains Heed the call of the master we'll soar to The edges of time Light tracers follow me farther Into the depths of unknown The blackness surrounding the borders of hope We're alone We plead for the signs, give us a second chance In hopes it will stifle the fear The battered remains of world gone insane We are near Enforcer Master of nations revealed Enforcer The beams from his soul you will feel Enforcer Master of nations revealed Enforcer The beams from his soul you will feel Once long ago we had to hide In the shadows of the land To keep us away from the crawl Enforcer's taking hold of us |

Ride swift across the plain
Don't you turn back, keep heed in your flame Kings with no mercy, this planet at war Torn from enchantment, this land forevermore Born from obsession, you cried death for light You saw things before and after you died Back from beyond to rule again But this life denies you its fight to the end Back from the dawn Deliver us right from wrong Kings forge the way For your last day You search the eyes of those Who fear the law Dark and light we all must keep the balance strong One day a king will rise with the sun The moon, and the stars And you are he and you must die, to be Born again, come again, once more be again the king Back from the dawn Deliver us right from wrong Kings forge the way For your last day Back from the dawn Deliver us right from wrong Kings forge the way For your last day |

There's a certain feeling Known to all who hear the sound The call of morning rising You're in a mystic space Can't you feel the force embrace, the chill of the wind As it names you Oh, can't you see the lies in front of you Your journey ends so far, and still the distance Spins round and round you Now you cry - give me sanctuary You scream but no one listens Again you cry - give me sanctuary Until the end I'll fight and die, to be free Oh! No sanctuary You're walking halfway in But crawling halfway out There's a void in your mind that you cling to You feel lost in time, you've got no words to rhyme No more charms, no more spells to protect you Oh can't you see the lies in front of you Your journey ends so far, and still the distance Spins round and round you Now you cry - give me sanctuary You scream, but no one listens Again you cry - give me sanctuary Until the end I'll fight and die Oh I've got to be free |

Uniform printout reads end of line
Protect code intact leaves little time Erratic surveys, free thinking not allowed My hands shake, my push buttons silence The outside crowd One world government has outlawed war among nations Now social control requires population termination Have we come too far To turn around Does emotion hold the key Is logic just a synonym for This savagery, disguised in Forgotten lost memory Microchip logic have we no more thought "Is this wrong" I enter Answers sought Punch, punch, punch, transfer this data Into code. Wide eyes watch my Number 156 is shown Created from past life to perform Illicit function, I fail this conscious Madness I man/machine imperfection Have we come too far To turn around Does emotion hold the key Is logic just a synonym for This savagery, disguised in Forgotten lost memory End of line |

We see the light of those who find A world has passed them by To late to save a dream that's growing cold We realize that fate must hide its face From those who try To see the distant signs of unforetold Oh... oh, take hold From a haze came a rage of thunder Distant signs of darkness on the way Fading cries scream of pain and hunger But in the night the light will guide your way So take hold of the flame Don't you see life's a game So take hold of the flame You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain Ride, to a place beyond our time Reach, for the edges of your mind, and you are there See, that the light will find its way Back to a place where it will stay, make it stay Throw down the chains of oppression that bind you With the air of freedom the flame grows bright We are the strong, the youth united We are one, we are children of the light So take hold of the flame Don't you see life's a game So take hold of the flame You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain |

Red gates of iron cast their Black shadows on this land Dividing souls... far below The gathering winds the armies watch Are rising from the west Foretelling news... of freedom's hand In secrecy they've infiltrated All of our strongholds Controlling more... year after year So we've let this happen all along Believing what's been said Our leaders cry... we have no one to fear We watch the sun rise, and hope We watch the sun rise, and hope That it won't be our last Before the storm Before the storm Before the storm Before the storm Is it late to try, must we all die Our system awaits testv Freedom by choice... is it for all men, best So we wait in fear the atom split Our hearts in two be torn Learn from the past... before the storm We watch the sunrise, and hope We watch the sunrise, and hope That it won't be our last |

Born into darkness in Saturn's sight
Riding the night like the wind Ripping the heart form a world that is right Treading the borders of sin. Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher Slashing destruction, your right hand sword ringing To the ends of the earth you will fly Conquering masses in wanton deception Blood-red your black flag waves high Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher higher higher higher Look around, is this the end that you have foreseen The pain, the misery in us all What was it that you knew? Will we one day learn it too And together build another way, to the morning Or will it ever come again You've poisoned all our hopes We have nothing now, and what of the children What has this done to them? Damn you for the pain That they must feel The last hero standing no time to turn back He's listening, he waits for your call The black barren plains reflect the hope of the same For one only waiting to fall Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher higher higher higher |

Wings of fire
I'm sailing past the point of no return Blinding eyes From which it hides the key Seek to rise Begotten are the fools who'll never know Force will hide The presence that we see There's no time to run away The prophecy will make it's stay Course of rage A never ending fight for the unknown To justify The formulated scheme So we find A gleaming light to lead us far beyond The closing gates Of our society There's no time to run away The prophecy will make it's stay Wings of fire I'm sailing past the point of no return Blinding eyes From which it hides the key Seek to rise Begotten are the fools who'll never know Force will hide The presence that we see There's no time to run away The prophecy will make it's stay There's no time to run away The prophecy will make it's stay There's no time to run away The prophecy will make it's stay |

On a lonely walk this morning A light mist in the air Dark clouds laughing at me in silence Casting shadows through my hair In the distance I saw a woman Dressed in black with eyes of grey She wore her pain like a shackled spirit Eternal life was her debt to pay The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free The wind song whispered a warning Telling me to beware Of the quiet shadowed woman And of the sadness I would share We sat for sometime together in silence Never speaking in words Of all her thoughts she spoke with her eyes And I listened remembering all I heard The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free The words she spoke were of forgotten lives And of all knowledge gained Mem'ries I had and didn't know why With a smile she explained I should have listened to the wind's cold warning And walked the other way I touched her soul and now I bear her sentence But for her love I'll gladly pay The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free |
