The crusader meets a Jewish Rabin; an old blind oracle with frightening looks who acknowledges that the voyager has been chosen by God to bring light to the eyes of people who can't see. He hands the crusader a book of blank pages eagerly shouting, "Spread your Fire! burn the temples down!" The oracle's voice resounded in his ears lunatic and senseless for years. Woke up to life not long ago You think your mind is in control? God will take it back someday It's not so hard to understand They say the world has good and bad Father Universe brings Love and Hate Glorious - You'll lead the way To free the world from these chains Glorious - Your story now begins, Oh! Fire! Unleash the angel of the Light Thank him for bringing us to life Lucifer is just a name! We are the only ones to blame Just look around, I'm not insane! Satan is a child of our God Glorious - Don't be afraid To lead the way with thy sword Glorious - You are the chosen one. Go! Spread your fire Salve ara, salve victima Spread your fire De passionis gloria Spread your fire Qua vita mortem pertulit Spread your fire Et morte vitam reddidit "Glorious - Don't be afraid To lead the way with thy sword Glorious - You are the chosen one. Go! Spread your fire Salve ara, salve victima Spread your fire De passionis gloria Spread your fire Qua vita mortem pertulit Spread your fire Et morte vitam reddidit

Rumors come to the ears of the cardinals and the Pope. "A knight from the order of the temple has gone crazy and is claiming to be the new Jesus! Many of the peasants from the villages seem to be following the man." ...For threatening the catholic hegemony he is persecuted, captured, tortured, kept in prison, judged and sentenced to death. In front of the cardinals, the culprit humbly explains how Angels and Demons disguise, then he pronounses his famous Theory of Light based on the forgiveness of Satan, the absence of God, the Athiest Love and the Gnosis. "No absolute truth can exist in a conscious mind, because every single thought is submitted to an individual and arbitrary judgement". Dreams -- sensations you prove Are taken from nature You find those emotions are true in your mind Fight against the kingdom of fear Sooner or later they'll try to convince you are wrong But I'm sure... We're just Crawling Angels and Demons disguised The truth you don't know so try to be sure When your Angels and Demons arise Face the Truth: God is not love! Feel as fluid as life, Love is a rainbow As much as it seems to be real It's all in your mind Sooner or later I'm gonna convince that The truth is a lie There's no Judge when we die Only dust We're just Crawling Angels and Demons disguised The truth you don't know so try to be sure When your Angels and Demons arise But we're still not sure which way we should go When the Angels and Demons disguise Just confusing our brains with their lies Enticing emotions Revolting devotions The Angels and Demons telling me lies!

The man falls in love with the young Muslim lady, and finds himself divided between the warmth and comfort of a humble life and his hunger for wisdom. ...He is writing his dream and revelations on the empty book given by the Jewish oracle as his two sons are growing up . Four years have passed and his happiness seems to be a gift from God, waving deep into his heart. No other feeling could be greater than to hold and protect his beloved ones. Yet, he isn't complete. Should he share his knowledge and revelations? Would people care? And, as the great meanings of life are unveiling to his eyes, the Shadow Hunter is tormented by an extreme anxiety... The urge for shouting reminds the moments prior to the troops' attack. A disturbing Waiting Silence, hovering seconds before the desperate screams. Caught in space and time Like a bird in a cage Cruelly confined In a passing matters state You suddenly realize That the wrong is the right Daring the laws Ready to put up a fight But... Love will drag your heart away To a world where dreams are made Can't hide away When your helpless mind obeys Together we wait in silence Still are the cries Forever the fate is hungry for your soul Together we wait in silence Still are the cries Worth your while until you're gone All the secrets of life reveal To my eyes I can't conceal And again I fly away To a world where dreams are made Together we wait in silence Still are the cries Forever the fate is hungry for your soul Together we wait in silence Still are the cries Worth your while until you're gone Life's too short to grieve in sorrow Still are the cries Fate is waiting for your soul Secrets inside Live your life like no tomorrow Still are the cries Worth you're while until gone Fate's gonna take your soul!

The crazy Rabin keeps appearing on his dreams. "It makes no difference if you throw your coins into the Wishing Well, or save your prayers inside a marvelous church filled of gold. All that matters is the faith inside you! If there is a God, He has no home; He is everywhere!" Close your eyes, what do you see? Takes a while to believe Feel the wind kissing your chin Hold your cries make your wish Dream away, breath... Why did it take so long to understand? Black sheep of the flock will soon be banned Don't loose your hope, wish away Journey to the sacred ground of Dreamland To one's heart's content I'll be free again Visions telling secrets on the Dreamland And my fortune ends in the Wishing Well Close your eyes what do you feel? Hold your cries keep it still Where am I? Why am I here? Reasons where Reasons why Journey to the sacred ground of Dreamland To one's heart's content I'll be free again Visions telling secrets on the Dreamland And my fortune ends in the Wishing Well Oh! Who knows the truth in this world? Journey to the sacred ground of Dreamland To one's heart's content I'll be free again Visions telling secrets on the Dreamland And my fortune ends in the Wishing Well Close your eyes, what do you see? Make your dreams come true again Where am I? Why am I here? Dreaming is believing, your wishing well

July of 1099, Jerusalem was stormed by the army of the Holy Roman Church; which atrociously annihilated every single inhabitant. The poor man's wife and two children were among the dea; cruelly killed by the insane Christian soldiers. "The entire population of the Holy city was put to the sword, Jews as well as Moslems, 70,000 men, women and children perished in a holocaust which raged for three days. In places men waded in bloodup to their ankles and horsemen were splashed by it as they rode through the streets. Weeping, these devout conquerors went barefoot to pray at the Holy Sepulcher before rushing eagerly back to the slaughter." - Desmond Sweard, The Monks of War. The Reign of Jerusalem was founded upon the fanatic, intolerant and ignorant ideals of The Temple of Hate, against the will of those who lived in the Holy Land before their invasion. Nations battle on the field across the lands Ruthless - stealing territories from our hands Anger throwing down the victims to the ground Cold blood younger soldiers weeping with no sound Revolution striking down right now! Blind fools fighting for the power to command Flag poles threading down the freedom of our men Innocence dying by the fury of the sword Poor men falling before saying their last words Revelation code XI Striking over us Sounds of revolution Freedom is proclaimed Bells announcing changes for the better in the temple of hate The Temple of Hate! Satan awaits! Revolution we have waited Burning down our souls Sounds of revolution Freedom is proclaimed Bells announcing changes for the better in the temple of hate Satan awaits! The Temple of Hate!

On a brothel-tavern, a gypsy prostitute sees in the eyes that he is the chosen one and reads him cards instead of giving him carnal pleasure. "The words of the old man won't have any sense until you find the morning star", says the prostitute. "Your mission is important, but it is not in the army". The voyager is desperately seeking for redemption to his mind and spirit, like a roaming wolf seeks for food. She fills him with doubts; saying that love will drag him out of his path. ...During the conquest of Xerigordon Fortress, The Shadow Hunter is injured and has to run away to escape from the troops of Kilij Arslan. Loosing blood, he collapses before getting back to Constantinople. He dreams about the lost scrolls hidden in the ruins of the Temple of Solomon and inside lost caves by the Dead Sea. I remember the blood on his hands So ashamed regretting his faults So defenseless he came from the darkness We spoke and had a good talk Dark old hat reminds me of someone I find hard to recall Bowed his head surrendering to sorrow Wears the face of war Desperate cries: Desperate cries Running in circles Mourining in vain Resigning to terror A sinful warfare A sinful warfare Innocents die Lost in the faith from my fragile heart... ...From my heart Wearing black, a bow without arrows God, have mercy on his soul Eyes of dread, entrenched in horror My devotions are gone! Desperate cries Running in circles Mourining in vain Resigning to terror A sinful warfare Atrocious attack Atrocious attack My crusaders faith Drowns in religious blood But I'll fight till the end Gonna find my Holy Grail Running blind against the faith Reason slips away Churches falling like castles on the sand Ends the Holy War Have the good for bad. What does a man gain from his work? Under the sun where he labors What is so good for a man in life? During his days he's just like a shadow Vanitas! Vanitas! Utters the oracle A chasing after the wind Meaningless! Meaningless searches for wisdom Everything is in vain like your hunting for shadows Lost my pride, fought in vain Had to find reasons to my pain - Oh! Running blind against the faith Running blind again Church is falling like castles on the sand Ends the Holy War Jesus was a man With a heart, with a mind With a body, with a sould So divine as your own God has no mind, has no heart Has no body, has no soul and no resemblance of you. No! Like chasing the wind...

While he is burying his wife and children, the widower knows that he will have to carry that awful pain for life. All the great moments they had together, vanished at once and converted into sad memories only. It is always better for those who leave than for those who stay. As he stares at his son's pale face in the coffin, he realizes how sublime it is to be free from the vain mortal feelings. Thus, there will be No Pain for the Dead. Standing by his coffin Thoughts have gone astray Life is just a burden Carry yours away Wipe the tears that fall Moments recalled in the Child's eyes Watch the world go by Flying through the stars Won't hide the scars Always Mourning cries Wasted in this world I'd never realized Smiles in the falling rain Wash the tears away Face the angel of death Soon your time will be over Your salvation is ahead That's why I said There is no pain for the dead Dying now Hourglass counts down Laeaving this world Your destination is Hiding mourning time Face up to the world Another day passes by Living our minutes in vain Wipe the tears away Triumph for the martyrs of the war Fallen for the causes of the others... Worth the sacrifice? Heroes are dying now Hearing their mothers cry Heaven is a metaphor Free your mind and spirit Mother Earth, do you part take my soul, oh no! Water, wind and fire... Will take our spirits away Victims of sacrifice Face the Angel of Death Struggling to survive Soon your time will be over Revolution remains Your salvation is ahead It's not so sad There is no pain for the dead Victims of sacrifice There'll be no rest till you're dead Struggling to survive Liberation of soul It's not so sad There is no pain for the dead, oh! ...No pain for the dead

In 1123, two noble men from Europe and seven Knights Crusaders were nominated to guard the ruins of the Temple of Solomon and to protect the Christians who came to visit the holy places. They were called Templar. Down the tunnels of the temple wreck they found relics and manuscripts which contained the essence of the secret traditions of Judaism and ancient Egypt, some of which probably went back to the day of Moses. Freedom of intellectual thought and the restoration of one and universal religion was their secret object. To the eyes of God, every life manifestation is the same. There is no special path prepared for us. A human being isn't worth more than a whirlwind carrying fallen leaves. We're all being carried by the same Winds of Destination. Blood is flowing on the ground Like a river branching red lines Anguish is all around Hope yielding to despair Life is a circumstance Any minute slips away God, please look upon us all Do you give a damn? Dancing in the air Spinning leaves in circles giving pleasure to my eyes Sadden my delight When the joy is over laying scattered on the ground Oh! The sun will rise The beginning of creation Oh! Into the skies On the Winds of Destination Carry us away... Secret ark of Solomon Hidden in the temple wreck... for the king Many years and centuries Till seven knights from the order Down the tunnels of the past Learning from the undisclosed... all the way! Holding dreams on zealous hands All those archives Lost and wasted Somewhere in the battle fields Farewell to common world Templars are watching and guarding the scrolls Shields of faith the knights behold All Manuscripts of the sacred laws are there Dancing in the air Spinning leaves in circles Giving pleasure to my eyes ...arise! Oh! The sun will rise The beginning of creation Oh! Into the skies On the Winds of Destination Carry us away Old leaves will be falling Old trees will remain Whirlwind carries you away For tomorrow be the same

The Shadow Hunter starts a new religion, gathering people around him to spread the truth for him revealed. Words of peace and love sowed like seeds in the hearts of the wise; but fruitlessly dropped on the rocky soil of the hearts of the blind. "The future is a consequence of what we do now. The present exposes the Sprouts of Time". I lay my eyes in the past From the first day to the last Several things we had to learn Countless mistakes from times of yore Now we restart, we recreate Your present is your fate Don't turn your backs on mankind! Only yourselves you wanna save Ignorance burns just like a fire Consuming people on its flame Fellow creatures, so wonderful! So different and so grand Sprouts of time The roots evolving The seeds for the future were scattered yesterday Tomorrow's harvest field we plant today Your crown will ever last The tall trees of life Life experience Break your shell reach the light! Mind and soul Find your path to the skies Will come around on a thunder sound Raging with power and fury the new born world Sprouts of time The roots evolving The seeds from the past branching out Growing forever Hands on heart Embrace each other The dances, the faces, the smiles Behind the past New seasons bring the chance To start again Tall trees will ever last The circles of life

When he wakes up, two Muslim men are carrying him away on a type of hammock hanging on a long piece of wood. Weak and frightened he can't react. Right above his head, while the sun is dawning, the Morning Star shines in the new day's sky. The six-points-shaped star presents a cross and the trident together as one. He understands the first sign as the wolves are howling. At that very moment, the first prophecy is accomplished. He will find out later, that the two men are brothers. They have decided to carry him to their house since they found him lying stained with blood on the ground. ...In the Muslim family house, their lovely sister Laura will take care of the crusader's wounds. Dawning time Lights a new beginning On the shadows of your eyes Hurts inside Wounded heart is healing After all you will survive All the time I was lost in the desert Counting what was left from the Illusions in my mind Hopeless fights Foolish thoughts we were in heaven till we die, oh! Death will bring us back where we belong Now you must decide before the Dawn is brightening up the day Announcing in the sky the Morning Star Nothing left to loose I am going on my way tonight On my way and... Shouting to the moon I'll be roaming till I find the Morning Star - Oh!!! Another chance you waste I'm the owner of my days I'll be howling through the night till the end of time. Look out! All this time I was lost in the desert Got to get away! Now I must decide before the Dawn is brightening up the day Announcing in the sky the Morning Star! Nothing left to loose I am going on my way tonight On my way and... Silent like the moon I will wonder till I find the Morning Star - Oh no!!! Another chance you waste Cause I'm going on my way tonight On my way and... Shouting to the stars I'm the owner of my days I'll be howling through the night till the end of time. Oh! End of time! Shouting to the stars!

During the last moments on the life of this crusader, he is still questioning: "Was I right? Was I wrong?" Memories and thoughts twist his mind. The prisoner is being visited by angels. Or are they demons? Who knows? How can the purest heart judge evil? The Angel of Death stretches his arms and offers a comfortable eternal silence. The Shadow Hunter delivers his body and soul, sure of his Late Redemption. You wasted all your chances To find yourself lost and lonely Were so foolish You were selfish Much too blind to realzie You messed up your own life... Eu vou contando os dias E já, já não tenho medo Eu lhe peço Eu imploro Quando a minha hora chegar Meu descanso minha paz Cante uma canção desconhecida Posioning with hope the hearts around you Plante mais lembranças na sua vida Death is calling you Now or never! Nada além do amor é o que parece Please the ones you love before you miss'em Toda a minha dor na minha prece. Win my chances back cause Life is short but it's never late! Tempo que passou It's time to find Redemption Não vai mais voltar Only love defies the Resurection Tudo que se foi Mark my words: God's abandoned this world! Would I live again? What's the new religion? Yeah! And what shall be the bread? Really I don't give a damn! never wanna live again In this vain emotion Over for me! Sing a lullaby now I remember Tempo que se foi e não se esquece mais Memories are twisting in my mind Win my chances back Cause life is short but it's never late Tempo que passou It's time to find Redemption Não vai mais voltar Only love defies the resurection Tudo que se foi Mark my words: God's abandoned this world! Toda a minha dor My destiny is over Nunca vai voltar And this hope above your comprehension Tempo que se foi Is the love you've been dreaming so long Over for me. Nunca... ... tudo se acabou.
