It’s warm and tender but very soon it will turn cold
Shadows stare down from the walls
Out of the mist it’s coming closer now
It never rains — it pours on me
So let the saints
Set up the courtyard, the unpleasant cage
The obvious point is I’m insane

Was I aware whom I has slain, I fear I was:
The faceless
The nameless
The bush set on fire
No one ever dared to speak
“Shame on me, I don’t believe
The here and now Is all we’re living for”

Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
By one false move it’s blown away
Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
Their voices cease it’s gone away
Vanished to the point of no return
Vanished to the point of no return

Witness my last breath
I do not regret
A word I’ve said
The strong will survive
The weak must die

And out of the mist
It’s coming closer now
Sinner and saints –
The grateful slaves

Nature’s law instead of God in heaven

From far beyond
I can hear them sing
I hear angels sing
Songs of innocence
I hear the angel sing

Despite the facts are clear
It cannot be, what we can’t see
I must admit, it sounds so sweet

Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
By one false move it’s blown away
Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
Their voices cease it’s gone away
Vanished to the point of no return
Vanished to the point of no return

Angels sing
(Can hear them sing)
I hear angels sing
I hear angels sing
(Can hear them sing)
I hear angels sing
I hear angels sing
(Can hear them sing)
I hear angels sing
I hear angels sing
I hear angels sing

Far beyond I hear them sing
(”It’s true) it’s true
We don’t exist”
From far beyond I hear them sing
(”It’s true) it’s true
We don’t exist”

Well we all know there’s no other side
It’s good and evil
I know right between, there’s no borderline
This is the punishment divine

Surrounded by night, I’ve been offered insight
There is none but the sin of pride
Am I wrong am I right? Am I losing my sight?
Abandoning the superior mind

Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
By one false move it’s blown away
Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
Their voices cease it’s gone away
Vanished to the point of no return
Vanished to the point of no return

(Right away)
Through the valleys grey
(I will be gone)
Through the shapeless land I walk alone
(I will be gone)
I’m left alone
(I will be gone)
Through the deepest void, a blackened paradise
(I will be gone)
I walk alone, I’m left alone

Turn your head and see the fields of flames

(Don’t move along)
He carries along
(Cause things they will go wrong)
>From a distant place
(The end is getting closer)
He’s on his way
(Day by day)
He’ll bring decay
In shades of grey
We’re doomed to face the night
Light’s out of sight

Since we’ve reached the point of no return
We pray for the starlight we wait for the Moon
The sky is empty, alone in the unknown
we’re getting nowhere

We have been betrayed by the wind and the rain
The sacred hall’s empty and cold
The sacrifice made should not be done in vain
Revenge will be taken by Rome

We live a lie
Under the dying moon
Pale-faced laughs doom
Indulges in delight

It’s getting out of hand
The final curtain will fall

Hear my voice
There is no choice
There’s no way out
You’ll find out

We don’t regret it
So many men have failed but now he’s (gone)
Go out and get it
The madman’s head it shall be thine
We don’t regret it
That someone else dies hidden in (disguise)
Go out and get it
Orion’s hound shines bright

Don’t you think it’s time to stop the chase
Around the ring
Just stop running, running
Round the ring
Don’t you know that fate has been decided
By the gods
Feel the distance, distance
Out of reach

Welcome to the end
Watch your step, Cassandra, you may fall
As I’ve stumbled on the field
Find myself in darkest places
(Sister mine)
Find myself drifting away
(Death’s a certain thing)
And the other world
The other world appears

Find myself she dies in vain

I cannot be freed, I’m falling down
As time runs faster, moves towards disaster
The ferryman will wait for you, my dear

And then there was silence
Just a voice from the other world
Like a leaf in an icy world
Memories will fade

Misty tales and Poems lost
All the bliss and beauty
Will be gone
Will my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of death I will smile
It’s the triumph of shame and disease

In the end (Iliad)
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell show me the (way)
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright

The newborn child will carry ruin to the hall
The newborn’s death would be a blessing to us all

Good choice?
Bad choice?
Out of three you’ve chosen misery

Power and wisdom you deny
(Bad choice, bad choice)

War is the only answer when Love will conquer fear

So the judgement’s been made
To the fairest the graceful says
Badly he fails

(Warning)
Fear the heat of passion, father king
(Don’t let him in
Don’t let her in)
Desire, lust, obsession
Death they’ll bring
(We can’t get out
Once they are in)

She’s like the sunrise
Outshines the Moon at night
Precious like starlight
She will bring in a murderous price

(In darkness grows the seed of man’s defeat)
Jealousy
(I can clearly see the end now)
I can clearly see the end now
I can clearly see the end now

(The thread of life is spun)
The coin’s been placed below my tongue

Never give up
Never give in
Be on our side so we can win
Never give up
Never give in
Be on out side
(Old moon’s time) is soon to come

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to lose like one we’ll stand
We’ll face the storm
Created by a man

Roar Roar Roar Roar
Troy (Troy Troy Troy)
And as the lion slaughters man
I am the wolf and you’re the lamb

(Hallowed) Troy will fall round the walls
Faith is shattered, bodies fall

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to lose like one we’ll stand
It’s all for one and one for all
We live for will be wiped out

I feel that something’s (wrong)
Surprise, surprise they’re gone

Full moon your time goes by
And new moon’s still kept out of sight
We live
Misty tales and Poems lost
(We die)
All the bliss and beauty will be gone

Will my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of death I will smile
It’s the triumph of shame and disease

In the end (Iliad)
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell show me the (way)
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright

Roam in darkness
(Spread the vision)
Roam in darkness
(Spread the vision)
Roam in darkness
(Spread the vision)
Roam in darkness
(Spread the vision)
(Roam in darkness)
(We will be lost if you truly believe)
(Roam in darkness)
Troy in darkness
(There’s a cold emptiness in our hearts)
That they’ve gone away
(And) won’t come back

They’ll tear down the wall to bring it in
They’ll truly believe in the lie
Lie, lie

With blossoms they’ll welcome the old foe

The vision’s so clear
When day and dream unite the end is near
You better be prepared

The nightmare shall be over now, there’s nothing more to fear
Come join in our singing and dance with us now
The nightmare shall be over now, there’s nothing more to fear
The war it is over forevermore

No hope
The blind leads the blind
Carry on
Though future’s denied

Mare or stallion
There’s far more inside
We are in at the kill we’ll cheerfully die

Misty tales and Poems lost
All the bliss and beauty
Will be gone
(Will) my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of death I will smile
It’s the triumph of shame and disease

In the end (Iliad)
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell show me the (way)
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright

Holy light shines on

So the judgement’s been made
We’re condemned though the trial’s far ahead

The crack of doom, Father
Your handsome son is heading home

Still the wind blows, calm and silent
Carries news from a distant shore
Still the wind blows, calm and silent
Carries news from a distant shore
Still the wind blows, calm and silent
(Out of mind)
Carries news from a distant shore
(Can’t get it)
(Still the wind blows, calm and silent)
(Out of mind)
(Carries news from a distant shore)
(Can’t get it out of my head)
(Can’t get it)
(Out of mind)
(Can’t get it out of my head)

Sorrow and defeat
Sorrow and defeat

[Spanish bonus track]

Ella partió
Y el bosque durmió
La doncella nunca volverá

El sello del olvido se ha roto
Y en pecado un amor tornará

Nuestra vida sola baila
Esperanza gritos cubrirá
La verdad en el pasado
Sueños mentiras mostrarán
La noche vendrá
Dolor quedará

De repente todo se aclaró
La venda de los ojos cayó

Sus ojos cerró
Y mi nombre gritó
Ella nunca nunca mas fue vuelta
A ver

Mies del dolor
Tu fruto creció
En helada tierra de pesar
Cuando muera la luz
La noche invernal
Vendrá

Ella partió
Y yo pierdo la fe
Mis heridas no podrán sanar

Traeré al ocaso
Pese a que seré burlado yo
Por la vida y el juicio final

Amanece en la vida y sé
Que pronto todo pasará
Y enfrento las sombras de pie en soledad

Mies del dolor
Tu fruto creció
En helada tierra de pesar
Cuando muera la luz
La noche invernal
Vendrá

[Japanese bonus track]

She is gone leaves are falling down
The tear maiden will not return
The seal of oblivion is broken
And a pure love’s been turned into sin

At the dawn of our living time
Hope may cover all cries
Truth lurks hidden in the shadows
Dreams might be filled with lies
Soon there will be night
Pain remains inside

Suddenly (oh) it seemed so clear
All the blindness was taken away
She closed her eyes and she called out my name
She was never ever never ever seen again

Harvest of sorrow, your seed is grown
In a frozen world full of cries
When the ray of light shrinks
Shall cold winter nights begin

She is gone and I fall from grace
No healing charm covers my wounds
Fooled’s the dawn and so I am
Fooled by life and a bitter doom
To bring you the end of the day

At the dawn of our living time
Hope it soon will pass by
Facing a darkness
I stand (alone)

Harvest of sorrow, your seed is grown
In a frozen world full of cries
When the ray of light shrinks
Shall cold winter nights begin

[Italian bonus track]

Lei non c’e’
ed il buio arriva,
io so che non tornera’.
Della magia tutto cio’ che rimane
e’ un ricordo nel tempo che va.

Come un’alba la vita puo’
coprire ogni bugia,
verita’ nascoste tra le ombre,
sogni pieni di follia.
Presto sara’ notte
nel buio che rimane.

Poi di colpo tutto e’ chiaro
e la luce ritorna da me.
Lei ha chiuso gli occhi,
ha chiamato il mio nome,
non e’ mai piu’ tornata da me.

Frutto del buio
il tuo seme cresce
in un mondo di malinconia
quando la luce
esce fuori dal cuore

Lei non c’e’
resta il buio dentro,
nulla cura il mio male.
L’alba e’ sparita
soffocata nel sogno
in un giorno che muore di gia’.

La speranza si spegne gia’,
l’alba della vita.
Di fronte alla morte
io sono rimasto solo.

Frutto del buio
il tuo seme cresce
in un mondo di malinconia
quando la luce
esce fuori dal cuore

[Argentinian bonus track]

Ella se irá
y las hojas caerán.
La doncella no regresará.

El sello del olvido se ha roto
y ese amor puro ya no será.

Amanece la vida
la esperanza nos cobijará.
La verdad está escondida en sombras
los sueños mentirán.
La noche será
y el dolor está.

De repente todo se aclaró,
la ceguera también se alejó.

Sus ojos cerró
y mi nombre invocó,
y ya nunca, nunca la volvieron
a ver.

Cosechando el dolor
ese amor creció.
En un mundo lleno de opresión.
Cuando el rayo de luz
se oculte otra vez
y la noche comience…

Ella se fue
y yo pierdo la fe.
Mis heridas ya no cerrarán

Es el alba engañado.
Y con él me engaño yo también.
Y al final de ese día, volver.

Amanece en la vida, sé
que pronto todo pasará.
Y enfrento las sombras de pie en soledad.

Cosechando el dolor
ese amor creció.
En un mundo lleno de opresión.
Cuando el rayo de luz
se oculte otra vez
y la noche comience…

[French bonus track]

Elle part sans se retourner
Et l’automne feuille à feuille s’écoule
Le sceau de l’oubli s’est brisé
En souillant un innocent amour

À l’aube de notre naissance
Le monde semble d’espérance
Les rêves s’emplissent de chimères
La vérité se terre
Mais la nuit à son heure
Apporte la douleur

En un instant, tout était plus clair
Lumineux, transparent comme l’air
Elle ferma les yeux et m’appela d’un cri
Personne jamais plus ne la revit

Moisson de peine, graine semée
Dans une terre de larmes gelée
Le jour s’éteint déjà
Dans l’hiver vient le froid, la nuit

Elle part, et je perds tout espoir
Rien ne pourra guérir mes blessures
Insensé comme à l’aube
Amer et malmené par le sort
De vouloir te mener à bon port

À l’aube de notre naissance
Tourne le vent de la chance
Face aux ténèbres
Je reste seul

Moisson de peine, graine semée
Dans une terre de larmes gelée
Le jour s’éteint déjà
Dans l’hiver vient le froid, la nuit

When the moonchild is crying
And silence has broken
The darkest truth

The things she remembered
Had never been her own
Replicant or human
I know the way to show
What do I see
What will I find
Know the answer inside
It’s your last step

Time what is time
I wish I knew how to tell you why
It hurts to know
Aren’t we machines
Time what is time
Unlock the door
And see the truth
Then time is time again

[Whispering]
These dreams were never mine
It’s cold inside
It’s gone forever
The things he saw
Who can say what’s wrong or right
The vision of a free life
His eyes had seen it all
For what
He’s asking
The vision, vision, vision
I know it’s all a lie
I’ll remember the past life
And I’ll remember time

[Lead: Andre]

What did I see
What have I done
God I knew the answers
When he felt so tired

Time what is time
Come lock the door don’t let me in
I am the one your destiny
Time what is time
Reality - it hurts me so
When time is time again

[Solo: Andre]

Look into my eyes
Feel the fear just for a while
I’m a replicant and I love to live
Is it all over now
Only these years
I’ll leave but I’m singing

Time what is time
He saw it clearly it’s too late
It does not heal but it lets us forget
Time what is time
We’ll never know
So don’t take care
Then time is time again

Should I forget
The way I feel
God he knows how long I tried
Feel there is no reason to cry
I live my life
In fortune dreams forever
In fortune dreams forever

Many songs I’ve written
About the things I saw
My inner soul’s a wasteland
I can’t run away from here
Try to find them
All the lost thoughts in my mind
I woke up on a hill
So many times before
Yesterday seems like a dream no more
Frozen memories laughing
They don’t let me find the truth
Am I born to be a king
Or a jester of the fools

You’re the mystical old bard
on your journey through the dark
Mystical old bard
Your journey through the dark

I can’t remember my name
I never knew how to find my home
I can’t remember my name
come tell me when will it end
I’m the chosen one
To perform all these things
But not for me
In illusions and reality
I’m on my journey through the dark
I’m on my journey through the dark

Mystical old bard
On your journey through the dark
Mystical old bard
Your journey through the dark

[Solo: Andre]

I can’t remember
Will I ever find myself
The distance is growing
My hope has gone away
A flash of light but nothing changes
When will it end
Which part of me remains

[Lead: Andre]

Soon I’ll be back
On my ferryboat of tales
Where oblivion reigns
It will take all of me
Mystical old bard
On your journey through the dark
Mystical old bard
Your journey through the dark
Your journey through the dark

I am lost in the black chamber
There’s no way to turn back
It takes me down forevermore
And death would be so sweet
I’m possessed by the old creature
Who has planned all
To take my soul
Too late for me
In my hands
It lies I thought
But I failed
Now he’s in me

My soul is lost
In his black chamber

I’m gone
I’m gone
