1. Different World4:17

   Letra

   You lead me on the path Keep showing me the way I feel a little lost A little strange today. I think I'll take ahold Of whatever comes my way Then we'll see what happens Take it day by day I thought I had it all I had it all worked out Just what the future held That there would be no doubt But then the card came up And I took another turn But I don't know if it's forever that I run Tell me what you can hear And then tell me what you see Everybody has a different way to view the world I would like you to know when you see the simple things To appreciate this life it's not too late to learn Don't wanna be here Somewhere I'd rather be But when I get there I'm afraid it's not for me Tell me what you can hear And then tell me what you see Everybody has a different way to view the world I would like you to know, when you see the simple things To appreciate this life, it's not too late to learn (bridge and guitar solos) Tell me what you can hear And then tell me what you see Everybody has a different way to view the world I would like you to know, when you see the simple things To appreciate this life, it's not too late to learn Don't wanna be here Somewhere I'd rather be But when I get there I'm afraid it's not for me Don't know what I want Or where I want to be Feeling more confused The more the days go by

   Letra

   We are not the sons of God We are not his chosen people now We have crossed the path he trod We will feel the pain of his beginning Shadow fingers rise above Iron fingers stab the desert sky Oh Behold the power of man On it's tower, ready for the fall Locking hands together well Raise a city, build a living hell Join the race to suicide Listen for the tolling of the bell Out of the the universe, a strange love is born Unholy union, trinity reformed Yellow sun it's evil twin In the black the wings deliver him We will split our souls within Atom seed to nuclear dust is riven Out of the the universe, a strange love is born Unholy union, trinity reformed Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Solo #1 Adrian Bury your morals and bury your dead Bury your head in the sand E equals MC squared, you can relate How we made God with our hands Whatever would Robert have said to his God About he made war with the Sun E equals MC squared, you can relate How we made God with our hands All nations are rising Through acid veils of love and hate Chain letters of Satan Uncertainty led us all to this All nations are raising Through acid veils of love and hate Cold fusion and Fury Solo #2 Janick (genialna solуwka) Divide and conquer while ye may Others preach and others fall and pray In the bunkers where we'll die There the executioners they lie Bombers launched with no recall Minutes warning of the missile fall Take a look at your last sky Guessing you won't have the time to cry Out of the the universe, a strange love was born Unholy union, trinity reformed Out of the darkness... Out of the darkness... Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousands suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousands suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousands suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousands suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousands suns Holy father we have sinned

   Letra

   The keys to death and hell The ailing kingdom doomed to fail The bonds of sin and heart will break The pilgrims course will take Quelling the devils might And ready for eternal fight Aching limbs and fainting soul Holy battles take their toll Liberty and hope divine Changing the water into wine So to you we bid farewell Kingdom of heaven to hell Spirit holy life eternal Raise me up take me home Pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset Onward journey begun To courage find and gracious will Deliver good from ill Clean the water clean our guilt With us do what you will Then will my judge appear Bear no false angel that I hear For only then I will confess To my eternal hell Now give us our holy sign Changing the water into wine So to you we bid farewell Kingdom of heaven to hell Spirit holy life eternal Raise me up take me home Pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset Onward journey begun Solo Now give us our holy sign Changing the water into wine So to you we bid farewell Kingdom of heaven to hell Spirit holy life eternal Raise me up take me home Pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset Onward journey begun Spirit holy life eternal Raise me up take me home Pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset Onward journey begun
5. The Longest Day7:48

   Letra

   In the gloom the gathering storm abates In the ships gimlet eyes await The call to arms to hammer at the gates To blow them wide throw evil to it's fate All summers long the drills to build the machine To turn men from flesh and blood to steel From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach From summer sands to Armageddon's reach Overlord, your master not your god The enemy coast dawning grey with scud These wretched souls puking, shaking fear To take a bullet for those who sent them here The world's alight, the cliffs erupt in flame No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains Drowning men no chance for a warrior's fate A choking death enter hell's gate Sliding we go, only fear on our side To the edge of the wire, And we rush with the tide Oh the water is red, With the blood of the dead But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive How long on this longest day 'Til we finally make it through How long on this longest day 'Til we finally make it through How long on this longest day 'Til we finally make it through How long on this longest day 'Til we finally make it through The rising dead, faces bloated torn They are relieved, the living wait their turn Your number's up, the bullet's got your name You still go on, to hell and back again Valhalla waits, Valkyries rise and fall The warrior tombs, lie open for us all A ghostly hand reaches through the veil Blood and sand, we will prevail Sliding we go, only fear on our side To the edge of the wire, And we rush with the tide Oh the water is red, With the blood of the dead But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive How long on this longest day 'Til we finally make it through How long on this longest day 'Til we finally make it through How long on this longest day 'Til we finally make it through How long on this longest day 'Til we finally make it through Solo How long on this longest day 'Til we finally make it through How long on this longest day 'Til we finally make it through How long on this longest day 'Til we finally make it through How long on this longest day 'Til we finally make it through
6. Out Of The Shadows5:36

   Letra

   Hold a halo round the world Golden is the day Princes of the Universe, Your burden is the way So there is no better time, Who will be born today A gypsy child at the day break A King for a day Out of the Shadow and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again Dusty dreams in fading daylight Flicker on the walls Nothing new your life's adrift What purpose to it all? Eyes are closed and death is calling Reaching out it's hand Call upon the starlight to surround you Out of the Shadow and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again Out of the Shadow and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again Solo Out of the Shadow and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again Out of the Shadow and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again A man who casts no shadow has no soul
7. The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg7:21

   Letra

   Let me tell you about my life Let me tell you about my dreams Let me tell you about the things that happen Always real to me Let me tell you of my hope Of my need to reach the sky Let me take you on an awkward journey Let me tell you why Let me tell you why Why should these curses be laid upon me I won't be forgiven 'til I can break free What did I do to deserve all this guilt Pay for my sins, with the sale of my soul Demons are trapped all inside of my head My hopes are gone, reach for heaven from hell My sins are many, my guilt is too heavy The question of knowing of how then what I know I'm able to see things Things that I don't want to see The lies of a thousand souls, Weigh heavy down on me I know they're crying for help reaching out The burden of them will take me down as well The sin of a thousand souls not died in vain Reincarnates to let me live again Someone to save me Something to save me from myself To bring salvation To exorcise this hell Someone to save me Something to save me from myself To bring Salvation To exorcise this hell Someone to save me Something to save me from my hell A destination Away from this nightmare Someone to save me Something to save me from myself To bring salvation To exorcise this hell
8. For The Greater Good Of God9:24

   Letra

   Are you a man of peace Or a man of holy war Too many sides to you Don't know which anymore So many full of life But also filled with pain Don't know just how many Will live to breathe again A life that's made to breathe Destruction or defense A mind that's vain corruption Bad or good intent A wolf in sheep's clothing Or saintly or sinner Or some that would believe A holy war winner They fire off many shots And many parting blows Their actions beyond a reasoning Only God would know And as he lies in heaven Or it could be in hell I feel he's somewhere here Or looking from below But I don't know, I don't know Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is More pain and misery in the history of mankind Sometimes it seems more like The blind leading the blind It brings upon us more famine, death and war You know religion has a lot to answer for Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is And as they search to find the bodies in the sand They find it's ashes that are Scattered across the land And as the spirits seem to whistle on the wind A shot is fired somewhere another war begins And all because of it you'd think That we would learn But still the body count the city fires burn Somewhere there's someone dying In a foreign land Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man Tell me why, tell me why Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is For the greater good of God (x8) Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is For the greater good of God (x8) He gave his life for us He fell upon the cross To die for all of those Who never mourn his loss It wasn't meant for us To feel the pain again Tell me why, tell me why
9. Lord Of Light7:23

   Letra

   There are secrets that you keep There are secrets that you keep There are secrets that you tell to me alone I can't reach things I can't see You don't see this strange world Quite the same as me Don't deny me what I am Nothing hidden still you fail to see the truth These are things you can't reveal These are things you can't reveal We are part of some strange plan Why the slaughter of the brotherhood of man Infernal sacrifice of hell Fire breathing lead the way Mounds of bodies as they all burn into one Revenge is living in the past Time to look into a new millennium Spiral path leads through the maze Down into the fiery underworld below Fire breathing lead the way Lucifer was just an angel led astray Free your soul and let it fly Give your life, to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries Free your soul and let it fly Give your life, to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries We are not worthy in your black And blazing eyes We gather demons in the mirror every day The bridge of darkness casts a Shadow on us all And all our sins to you we give this day Others wait their turn Their lives were meant to last Use yours wisely as the light is fading fast Free your soul and let it fly Mine was caught I couldn't try Time returns again to punish all of us We are cast out by our bloody father's hand We are strangers in this lonely promised land We are the shadows of the one unholy ghost In our nightmare world the only one we trust SOLO Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries Free your soul and let it fly Give your life, to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries
10. The Legacy9:20

    Letra

    Tell you a thing That you ought to know Two minutes of your time Then on you go Tell tale of the men All dressed in black That most of them Not coming back Sent off to the war To play little games And on their return Can't name no names Some strange yellow gas Has played with their minds Has reddened their eyes Removed all the lies And strange as it sounds Death knows no bounds How many get well Only time will tell Only time will tell Solo You lie in your death bed now But what did you bring to the table Brought us only holy sin Utter trust is a deadly thing To the prayer of holy peace We didn't know what was lying underneath So how could we be such fools And to think that we thought you the answer I can't begin to understand in all the lies But on your death bed I can see it in you eyes Just as clear as all the sweat upon your brow It really makes sense I can see it clearly now Tangled up in a web of lies Could have been a way to prophesise Unaware of the consequence Not aware of the secrets that you kept Nothing that we could believe To reveal the faзade of faceless men Not a thing that we could foresee Now a sign that would tell us the outcome You had us all strung out with Promises of peace But all along you cover plan was to deceive Can it put to rights now only time will tell Your prophecies will send us all to hell as well Left to all our golden sons All to pick up on the peace You could have given all of them A little chance... At least Take the world to a better place Given them all just a little hope Just think what a legacy You now... Will leave Solo We seem destinated to live in fear And some that would say Armageddon is near But where there's a life while there's hope That man won't self destruct Why can't we treat our fellow men With more respect and a shake of their hands But anger and loathing is rife The death on all sides is Becoming a way of life We live in an uncertain world Fear understanding and ignorance Is leading to death Only the corpses are left For vultures that prey on their bones But some are just not wanting peace Their whole life is death and misery The only thing that they know Fight fire with fire life is cheap But if they do stop to think That man is teetering right on the brink But do you think that they care They benefit from death and pain and despair
