The Fallen Empire

Disciples are ready to sacrifice Human life before the gods While virgins wait in paradise Some find their truth in stars Another claims we are born again Beyond the mystic final dawn But how do we know right from wrong There is no writing on the wall Who pulls the strings You? Me? They? We? Comitting sin after sin The preacher on the sidewalk says It's time that we repent So listen hard and listen well Cos he's from heaven sent Who pulls the strings You? Me? They? We? Comitting sin after sin Read between the lines Make up your mind But what are we supposed to do If the reason to live is to die Look straight into the eyes Chose from the lies But how are we supposed to live If the reason to laugh is to cry To live is to die slowly Disciples of the lost and lonely I don't know where to turn or who to believe When prowlers of the night-time all run free What if our time in this crazy world Simply is the final round And we're just here to raise some hell And then go six feet under ground Disciples using the sin To live is to die slowly Disciples of the unholy

Fallen angel – out of danger Give me a sign When a holy mission finds the ancient wisdom And eternal peace of mind Night after night it's all the same Fear returning again from yesterday Like a stray dog I roam the streets alone Waiting for justice when heads will roll Manipulation – manipulation and lies Annihilation – somehow in the veins of mankind I feel the sun in my eyes Holding my head high Cos I've come so far When all injustice is torn apart Fallen angel – out of danger Give me a sign When a holy mission finds the ancient wisdom And eternal peace of mind In the valley of rainbows In the valley of rainbows Day after day I look for truth Reasons for hatred and wasted youth Like a gambler I'm walking on thin ice Time has come for me to make things right Forever and ever – forever I'll reach for the sky Never say never – leave the burning bridges behind I feel the sun in my eyes Holding my head high Cos I've come so far When all injustice is torn apart Fallen angel – out of danger Evil on the run When a holy mission finds the ancient wisdom Tell me I'm the wanted one In the valley of rainbows In the valley of rainbows

When we reach our destination Time has come for us to rule At the place below the surface We will dethrone all the fools As we sail towards horizons With blood upon our hands Taking on the stormy waters Building castles in the sand Running away with the winds of change And fear of childhood years Stormwarning On the ocean of the free I'm falling In the abyss of twilight stars are Incomplete On our glorious arrival We will rise and conquer land Our quest will be victorious As we fight until the end When the lightning strikes the tower And the clouds they promise rain Our future come before us And all we see is pain Running away with the winds of change And the fears of childhood years Stormwarning On the ocean of the free I'm falling In the abyss of twilight – destiny! Stormwarning In the abyss of twilight stars are Incomplete When we reach our destination Time has come to say goodbye To the gods and the immortal While the fire burns inside

Looking up to the sky for a sign In retrospect all visions failed time after time Behind the mask, inside the mind Another martyre crucified Walls of endless mystery In the labyrinth of realized fantasies Fight fire with fire And magic will resurrect The sacred desire eternally Frozen hearts in a house of cards A game of pale illusions Lonely souls left out in the cold Salvation feeding flames of retribution Moving on towards the end of the line Unholy creatures kneeling by the liquid shrine Wild visionaires died one by one Another lost prodigal son Miles of endless misery On the highway of tomorrow's broken dream

Riding towards the war like noble abcient knights Down on their knees they fall before the evil eyes The symbol of salvation under darker clouds Facing demons that fell from above Armed legions of pure evil marching through our world And the eyes of the brave turn so cold A martyre calling from a lost millenium Trusting the word and they die by the crucifix Drifting further away into a night of mist Preachers of a fallen temple Struggling on to raise the crucifix Disciples worship icons in their church of gold While the masses keep walking on by Scriptures of wisdom fading on the walls of stone As a flower when winter arrives A martyre calling from a lost millenium Riding towards the war like noble abcient knights Down on their knees they fall before the evil eyes Preachers of a fallen temple Struggling on to raise the crucifix The choir of angels standing by the monument Singing praise led by disharmony As darkness falls in a protected paradise The world outside still waits for the feast

Another shade of grey And a worn-out hand Another palefaced man Lost in a dreamland Another spireful soul Seeks, destroys Another twofaced man Embracing the last rose A figure in black is standing there On the edge of sanity Holding on to the dawn of creation While the world is ruled by greed Emeralds fall like rain from the sky The free fight for freedom A forgotten angel cries Showdown – victims of fate Soldiers in agony still asking why Spellbound under the blade Hatred and bloodshed reflected by innocent eyes Another fading flame In a private hell Another desperate man Leaving his dark cell A creature of war is standing there On the burning battlefield Holding on to the glory nations While the heart strives to break free

Unexplored territory On the road to sacred ground The final resting place for angels A holy tomb not ment to find Marching on, digging deeper Finding icons that this world should never see By the nightfall at the borderline When it comes down to the wire By the river, under clear blue skies The hunters of the holy fear the lion In the dark jungle waiting The vicious king of predators Immortals burning in the fire Beyond the land where lions roar I'm the lion When it comes down to the wire I'm the lion, I'm the lion The hunters of the holy fear the lion

Gazing out through the bars of your window At a world that's passing you by You used to be the one with all the answers And now you're the mighty king of fools You had the crowd inside your hand You led them to the promised land But it was only a matter of time Until they saw your wicked ways Confrontations face to face Demanding answers and no more lies Just a thief in the night Soldier without a fight In the shadows you stand ready Outlaw blood Boiling in your veins Outlaw blood Strike without a warning Outlaw blood Outnumbered you layed down your arms A stranger hiding in the dark Soon you were back on the streets again And when it all came to an end Big tears of shame ran down your face From above you fell into hell Dreams of fortune and fame You played and lost your own game Through the flames you will walk crying Outlaw blood Boiling in your veins Outlaw blood Strike without a warning Outlaw blood To you it's just a game Outlaw blood Misery is calling Outlaw blood

These landscapes of beauty Hold more than meets the eye Darkness comes early And the night controls the mind Look into the future Gaze into the crystal ball Release all your sorrows Let the new beginning dawn I've been waiting for you Down by the shoreline Towards the shadows we walk Without fear in our hearts Can you feel the hunger of the chosen one Growing stronger out on the run chosen one The show keeps on falling Inside a cold and darkness world And no sight of daylight Makes this place on earth feel cursed Get out of your nightmare Find a reason to go on Just wait for tomorrow You'll see a new beginning dawn I've been searching for you Over the rainbow Up from the ashes we rise Just to face a better day Can you feel the hunger of the chosen one Growing stronger out on the run Can you feel the power of the chosen one Take you higher, touch the sun

The painting on the walls used to be my portrait But now it seems I've been replaced All doors are locked around me There is no way in nor out Times they change, love turned to hate... Yesterday I walked through the halls of power My head held high proud as a king This was once my temple a vision that came true And I had the wind beneath my wings Mighty men is suits create the future With dollars-signs on their twisted minds This time there was no part in it for me I hear tomorrow screaming my name And the call is heard all around the world I guess I was just far too blind to see So when the curtain falls There is no seat saved for the broken hero Access – access denied To the fortress of my heart Access – access denied Youth has passed me by and I was just a puppet Controlled by masters without soul Mr.Know it alls got the better of me Next time I won't take the fall Like a homeless child I walk through alleys And I still can't find any peace of mind So hard to recall if I feel it before When I grab my pillow made of granith Thinking back a while to the restless times My minds made up I will strike back by dawn But when the crowds are gone There is no one there for the fallen hero Access – access denied To the fortress of my heart Access – access denied Access – access denied To the kingdom of the gods Access – access denied I've been thrown to the dogs The vultures picking on my bones With my voice still loud and clear Someday I'll return once more The painting on the walls used to be my portrait Now I know I've been replaced

I'm like an angel with broken wings Someday I'll fly But tonight I keep spinning around In a circle And as the old, I am lost in time The years go by And somehow I keep holding on To this burden Sunlight in my eyes, daggers in my head Tomorrow I will shake this feeling Bullet in the brain The world has gone insane We're all waiting for some healing I still know that you and I Were meant to walk the path alive Side-by-side Towards the order of our days But first I need to figure out The source that brings me darkened skies Grab the bull right by the horns, release the hate So my thoughts are running wild The falling tears of a child Turns the eyes in the light Don't let fear control the action Just like in... it seems In the game no one wins The dying flame brings a chain reaction Chain, chain, chain reaction Control, control, control the action Chain, chain, chain reaction Children raised on lies Controlled by selfish threats Time to leave this place behind me Nothing there to find No where left to hide Will there be a happy ending? Walking lone through desert plains Waiting desperately for rain To come and wash away The sins of days gone by Suddenly, I see your face Before me in the blurry haze Without warning I just know we'll be alright Though my thoughts are running wild The falling tears of a child Turns the eyes in the light Don't let fear control the action Just like in... it seems In the game no one wins The dying flame brings a chain reaction Warhead lost in the dark With a cold, beating heart Don't let fear control the action And as the story unfolds All the dark whispers call The dying flame brings a chain reaction Chain, chain, chain reaction Control, control, control the action Journey through the wasteland Where misery, is glory Warriors keep fists held high For the empire, of the fallen The falling tears of a child Turns the eyes in the light Don't let fear control the action Just like in... it seems In the game no one wins The dying flame brings a chain reaction Warhead lost in the dark With a cold, beating heart Don't let fear control the action And as the story unfolds All the dark... The dying flame brings a chain reaction Don't let fear control the action The dying flame brings a chain reaction Don't let fear control the action The dying flame brings a chain reaction The dying flame The dying flame
