I am your leader I'm in command The fate
of all my followers Lies in my hand The burdon of what is right or wrong Decisions have to be made I have to take you all Into this burning gate Will we ever come back Follow me now We will attack Never say die On wings of hope we'll fly Never surrender No never - never say die Dragons of light We're leaving tonight The wings of hope bring us high Never say die Fighters are launching up into the sky On fire they ride Goddess of fate Guide and protect us tonight Into darkness and shadow So far beyond Oh, I don't know If there will be tomorrow Never say die On wings of hope we'll fly Never surrender No never - never say die Dragons of light We're leaving tonight The wings of hope bring us high Never say die Warriors hear my call The Evil has to fall Warriors hear my call The Evil has to fall SOLO Piet - Kai - Piet - Kai - both Will we ever come back We're going beyond Follow me now We will attack Never say die On wings of hope we'll fly Never surrender No never - never say die Dragons of light We're leaving tonight The wings of hope bring us high Never say die Never say - never say - never say die! |

(OK... We could make up a weird explanation of how the lyrics fit into the concept. Fact is they just don't! But we liked the particular sound of the words so much, that we decided to keep them like this anyway...) Do you believe in the god with a twisted eye Do you believe in hell and what's below Facing the man with the blade and an evil smile The innocence of madness seems to grow And now you stand and stare and wonder Can you believe in what you see Is there a place beyond the suffering If not for you, there's one for me I'm high, I ride on Solar Wings I'm riding, ohoo I'm free, I ride on Solar Wings 'cause I'm riding... on... Solar Wings A hundred years I'm riding on I've seen the madness down below A million miles I'm riding strong My destination is unknown I'm leaving from insanity I don't believe in destiny I'm waiting for my sanctuary If not for you, there?s one for me I'm high, I ride on Solar Wings I'm riding, ohoo I'm free, I ride on Solar Wings 'cause I'm riding... on... Solar Wings (Solo) This is the afterlife, it fills me with desire I'm riding high, I ride into the fire I'm high, I ride on Solar Wings I'm riding, ohoo I'm free, I ride on Solar Wings 'cause I'm riding... on... Solar Wings 4. I've Been To Hell (Music by Eckert/Sielck; Words by Sielck) (The almost perfect extinction of the human race during the savior-war has pushed the bio-unit to the edge. In deep depression, driven away from home and in the soli-tude of deep space this poor soul has seen Hell...) I saw my children from up in the sky Bleeding and sentenced to die Devastation and Termination I've been your angel of death Watching unmoved I've been awaiting your final breath Children forgive me For I've been so wrong Fate took revenge On all I have done I've been to Hell I've seen the fires burning Oh, I saw Hell Demons I heard you calling So many years I've been out there alone Broken and scared to the bone Out in the dark Sorrow and grief possessed my heart Out of control In this deadly machine Innocent victims Are haunting my dreams I've been to Hell... Rage Agony Endless pain I'll never be the same (Solo by Piet) Castaway Today Light years away from home Blood on my hands I must redeem I will repent No more repoungance between the machine And my tortured mind Together we're strong - now we are one One of a kind I've been to Hell... To Hell I have been to pay for my sin But no more I'll burn - I shall return Demons of darkness You've been calling me But I'm clear in my mind now And I'm on my way and I am free |

During the savior war the sleeper from ancient Atlantis was leading the battle - today he cannot cope with the new world. Isolated and lonely he fades away day by day. But the thread of the Shadow brings him back to life. Once again he shall lead the battle... so the Dragon is rising.] When I look at tomorrow Who will I be What will I find Seems I'm drowning in sorrow Everything changes My life's redefined When I look at tomorrow Where will I go What will I see Seems I'm stuck in this hollow Stuck in this heep, this heep of debries Ohh, there's a pain Deep down inside of me Ohh, I don't know What is my destiny I've been the Dragon and once I've been strong Look at me what I've become Now I see A Dragon again I must be I must regain what I've lost long ago The fires inside me still glow To the skies The Dragon again will arise When I look at tomorrow I will find My own peace of mind I shall leave all my sorrow The road to myself I will follow I'm on my way To meet my destiny I shall overcome The pain deep inside of me I've been the Dragon... [Solo Piet] I killed the demons They haunt me no more I'm loaded and charged to the core Unholy poison was Depraiving my soul Now I am back in control Dragon arise! [Solo Piet] I'm on my way... I've been the Dragon... |

(Bio-unit and machine are no longer fighting each other. They are one of a kind, a unique lifeform of man and machine. And so the Savior will return to protect and serve his children...) Out in the void of the vast Throughout the torrents of time Millenniums I had to outlast Alone in this heart of mine Built and designed to obey To keep man alive Oh, I have failed Now they struggle to survive Forever free Free from the split in my mind Now I can see My eyes have been blind The way of the ways - the line of the lines My destiny once and for all Oh Atlantis, I hear your call I am the one - you are the ones I will protect you - my brothers and sons I have returned - to fight this battle I am the savior - my heart is made Made of metal A shadow from somewhere beyond Is reaching out its claw Twisting the rays of the sun My children you ain't gonna fall I'll raise my blade The time for reprisal is here It's not too late The savior is here The ancient machine - a million lifes' dream Protect and serve you all Oh Atlantis, I hear your call I am the one - you are the ones... (Solo Piet) Forever free... I am the one - you are the ones... |

[The battle rages and once again mankind is facing war.] Infuriated - electrified Grim and relentless they ride Fighters are launching Onto the stars versing the shadows Armed and ready to strike Starwings engaging The battle is raging Fires in the sky Prepared to die - no time to sigh Thunder roars Ready to course with no remorse Firing the guns - explode and reload Firing the guns - relentless and cold Time to strike back Under attack They're thrusting their way Throughout the rows Again man's in the throws The throws of war We've seen it before The world's under fire The flames burning higher The Dark must not come to the throne Man will fight With all its might Dragons of light Infernal ride - defeat the night Starwings engage Ready to course with no remorse Firing the guns... Fighting in this dreadful war? what is it all good for In the battle against the Black - there ain't no turning back I am a warrior, still I'm strong I'll raise my blade to carry on - carry on [Solo Kai] Fires in the sky... Firing the guns... |

[The Iron Savior has returned to Earth and it seems that the fable will turn.] Travelling the stars out in the cold Out on the quest for the old You had to leave So don't come to grief You couldn't see what is right or wrong Atlantis seemed to be gone So you attacked The ones to protect Out of control You've been pounding the world Seems now the tables have turned Eye of the world - of the world Back to defend Your ancient land Eye of the world Back from the past Back to save us at last Guarding or star, giving us hope For man you will cope Now you can see Who is the enemy From the abyss It's the savior's return Seems now the tables will turn Eye of the world... Solo Piet - Kai - Piet - Kai Mighty machine Set us free from the night Be our guiding light There is a star Rising up in the sky We hold your banner high From the abyss... Eye of the world... Eye of the world Save us The tables will turn Eye of the world Save us The shadow will burn Eye of the world |

(The Dark Empire has been defeated. The home world of Shadow is burning in nuclear fire and it is only a question of time for the gate to collapse. Will the crew get back to the gate in time... or will they remain in this dying universe of the Black?) Thrown into a world Where night is ruling day Where nothing will remain Existence will decay The hope of despair Deep inside our heart Brought us to the lair The center of the Dark Strange and unknown hemisphere A mission to fulfill Evil will await us there We're prepared to kill Deep inside the emptiness What to come, to find Right into the black abyss Leaving all behind The stars are black beyond the gate A wasteland We must destroy it For man's sake Once in a while I fade into a dream Skies of blue And meadows of green Lost in the void Vanished from our entity Lost in the void Cursed to remain in infinity Out into unknown A road of no return To find the Shadow's throne The Dark ones have to burn Bold and brave we made our way In eternal night We won't let us led astray We shall return to the light The stars are black beyond the gate... Once in a while... Lost in the void... (Solo Kai/Piet) Strange and unknown hemisphere Our mission is fulfilled Evil has been waiting there Ohh, and we have killed Deep inside the emptiness The gate we had to find Out of the black abyss Leaving all behind Back from the void Back into our entity Back from the void Shadow remain in infinity Leaving all behind Back into the light |

[The war is over and the warrior returns to where he belongs...] [Jan:] I saw the shadow decline In another world, another time Reflecting battles full of fear So far away from home Death has been near [Piet:] I fought for liberty and faith For survival of our race The toll of blood it has been high The dead will never see again The sun up in the sky [Both:] I will return Return to where I belong Where I belong I will be Be with you after this war After this war [Jan:] What I saw beyond the gate Eternal darkness - our fate In everlasting night Deserted and destroyed An empire without light [Piet:] The flame of hope kept me alive The iron will survive I did the things I had to do And in my very soul I've always been with you [Both:] I will return... I had to leave it all behind On my way to the other side What to find ? I had to go Into the unknown Through all my fear You have been here Here in my heart [Solo Piet] I will return... Ohh, after the war |
