Side by side the legions ride unto the conflict and into the unforseen For what lies ahead one can only dream Go defend your place in time Return and stake your claim Onward with faith in their hands and night closing in learning to gather the last moments to live Reflections can't turn away the anquish that cannot hide Held by the perils of sin and forced from within to venture beneath the sky As they hear salvation call deception commands them all Unknown are ill-fated ways that further desecrate their minds the truth the honor As they hear salvation call deception commands them all Led by a meciless lie belief and demise are revealed Gazing down to the ground below an endless sea of endless foes Once so far now plain to see the sullen grip of reality Rising forth from the light of day the lonely souls cry out in vain Shattered hope now felt inside look to the heavens for compromise One by one with will undone the faithless minions embrace the enemy and summon the passion for victory Go defend your place in time Return and stake your claim Torn by the venemous pride and their sacrafice Condemned to fade away As they hear salvation call deception commands them all Unknown are ill-fated ways that further desecrate their minds the truth the honor As they hear salvation call deception commands them all Led by a meciless lie belief and demise are revealed

Let go of anger and offer youself unto me this night I am the reason you fear the light Summon the demon hide what you say the pain is the answer and why you obey There was a time when our faith was alive saddened by truth we all must find a way Give me your fallen hear them weep watching and waiting for release Feel the power I bestow my untold desire is all you will know This is the time when our faith must survive gather your strength we rise at the break of day It was just a forbidden lair hands of time have taken us there With this yearning resistance is born to carry on Foresaken dreamer condemn me and alter your fate Fearful of torment my lies speak wretched believers banish me Hidden amongst them lying in wait a painful reminder that I will create This is the time when our faith must survive gather your strength we rise at the break of day It was just a forbidden lair hands of time have taken us there With this yearning resistance is born to carry on

Far beyond skies of grey there lies a place kept away a sanctuary from afar It's here his thoughts come to pass as memories that never last drifting onward to the stars Untouched was this lasting peace concealed for centuries until the moment they arrived In time his soul will lay to rest lost among the final breath left to search on in the night for new life He must rise above How can the silence go on anymore as it crumbles to the ground Masses corrupting this once sacred home with the pleasures they found No longer can he wear the disguise or surrender to the fear Reclaiming some meaning in life that makes the harm disappear Sail away into the winds of yesterday Here escape is waiting with reality obscured facing the uncertain at a point of no return Now we must leave all the others behind Let your spirit soar through space and beneath Journey to salvation return to a place where minds are free One mind will lead as another is left standing all alone Many have yet to discover the power of what he has known Slowly rising soaring ahead Seasons changing never again pretend to see There at the dawning the when ages collide he retreats to solitude Drawn to uncover one lasting desire to remain as one of the chosen few Sail away into the winds of yesterday Here escape is waiting with reality obscured facing the uncertain at a point of no return Now we must leave all the others behind Let your spirit soar through space and beneath Journey to salvation return to a place where minds are free One mind will lead as another is left standing all alone Many have yet to discover the power of what he has known

Out of temptation A new age is dawning the helpless sinners will follow until the end Captured by regret and humbled by triumph their solemn hearts together shall repent See the day behold the tragedy Be not afraid and find what is meant to be Anger remains and falters endlessly Keep me from falling into dissension's wake With this knowledge I pray for a sign distant lights are fading into memories Once a sinner who beckoned the night now a savior with secrets kept inside of me Holding the answers and begging for hope sands of time have fallen and cannot return Reaching out to embrace the new day finding strength and the will to not betray Lead me on show me where I belong Relive let it begin Commense the feelings within Transform the words for a while Believe reconcile Into redemption the future is calling to hide the truth and see beyond the past Light begins shining and faith realigning this world of freedom remains forever vast See the day behold the tragedy Be not afraid and find what is meant to be Anger remains and falters endlessly Keep me from falling into dissension's wake

A falling mist surrounds the horizon as a chilling sight disrupts my stare There before me a wickedness arises drawing me ever closer to it's lair Down beneath this realm of peace fall down and pray lest you be enslaved Now as shadows take hold of me they're longing to be free of any earthly desire Calling out the enemy knows my name as it proclaims we hide....inside your dreams Each passing moment brings panic down around me unveiling the threat of eternal rest The sound of laughter with the images approaching confirms they will rid me of my breath Now as shadows take hold of me they're longing to be free of any earthly desire Calling out the enemy knows my name as it proclaims we hide....inside your dreams Inside subconscious there is nothing there but it all seems so real Caught in the grasp of reverie there is one chance to be saved Put hope aside and follow me let it be known there's a way.....out When all of nightime is covered with suspicion and no one knows what lies ahead Only then do the images awaken and prey upon our innocence Down beneath this realm of peace fall down and pray lest you be enslaved Now as shadows take hold of me they're longing to be free of any earthly desire Calling out the enemy knows my name as it proclaims we hide....inside your dreams

Hide away the warnings are falling into place the time has come I hold on to the last hope unaware what the mysteries have meant Now I see the secrets revealed and understand our premonitions descend On that day the skies will darken with rage beware the signs I seek shelter in the night and run from damnations arrival No promise of a future in sight with knowledge of mankinds denial A challenge awaits us to stand the test of time foretold are the warnings to never cross the line Let go of your instincts and just as before we'll rise from the ashes of this world reborn... See the way that tomorrow is fading feel the weight of the shroud sent down from above Ask not forgiveness as the future is changing we'll all pay the price when our days are done I just can't believe why so many were chosen to suffer the fate meant for so few Open your eyes and pray that tomorrow is your dying day the day we all lose Passing on the final prophecy has come the end remains I'm searching for the answers crying out for what man cannot see Unable to realize our premonitions are destiny A challenge awaits us to stand the test of time foretold are the warnings to never cross the line Let go of your instincts and just as before we'll rise from the ashes of this world reborn...

In the endless turning within the back of my mind is a world I cannot ponder Can there be a future will the images die my inner peace must pull me onward If these visions remain any longer constant thoughts and dreams will control my mind From the unknown darkness awakes a tell tale sign of misery and unknown splendor Tearing forth at feelings reaping all that is mine solitude is not the answer From the moment that time left me standing I felt an anger that burried my soul Will the silence return as a traitor or will this anger burn out of control Contemplate Eviscerate the mind and the body are one Futurize Fantasize the power of thought has become This vision is all that I see what will become of me Take a walk with me I will show you fantasy Come inside my mind I will teach you misery Voyage through my eyes now you know what I see Imminent demise what can I believe Is there understanding images darken thdarken the known Ungodly Commanding descend to a world down below Crying and fearing and losing time frightened by what I can't see Endless are terrors I cannot define eternal sight I now concede Come and see the future underneath the lies come alone and do not wander Through the deepest sorrow to the darkest night to the place that keeps my honor From the moment that time left me standing I felt an anger that burried my soul Will the silence return as a traitor or will this anger burn out of Contemplate Eviscerate the mind and the body are one Futurize Fantasize the power of thought has become This vision is all that I see what will become of me

A lonely silence has touched the ground where innocence once felt the sky In a shadow of a heart gone cold he pauses and waits for a sign while sadness and fate pass him by Through the darkness a voice cries out and ressurects a life within Seeking freedom from fear and doubt a sentence of living with sin shall fall and a new life begin Straight into the dawn the mystery is gone a vengefull spirit rises free Speak to me I am not afraid Hear me I am the truth I am the one who is destined forever The stars and the sun will guide me to the sea The wind is screaming he claws at the night The smell of fear is carried in the air Relentless unfeeling the pain is in his sight His vengeance the only care On and on into tomorrow a quest into eternity His spirit portrays everlasting desire to bring mankind down On and on into tomorrow a quest into eternity

This track is instrumental.
Gone today without a whisper set forth to claim a life lost so many years ago In silence he stares at the sky and waits for a moment of mercy The vision that stands by his side is calling on forces within to reach out alone Sworn to be remembered for the promise he made to keep Fearful of any encounters as they may darken and invade his destiny Captured by fear in the dead of night watching shadows cross the gound Hiding beneath the dim moonlight they speak without a sound I can see why others would never want to dream Take my hand and I will make you believe your time is near The memories arise reliving the moment when her spirit dies A portait burned inside his mind so many years ago And still he wanders on through days of exile leaving fate undone until the time when all can be taken down Where the fires are burning where the innocent fell Forced to the edge by a vastness of fury trading heaven for a glimpse of hell Now that the time has come to relinquish there's no more sorrow to bare Resurrecting the ageless emotion leading onward into this despair Possessed by an image where two souls unite destined to seek and avenge Falling through sorrow concealed in the night when does it finally end Take my hand and I'll lead you onward to a land so far away I alone am the one you follow the only one who sees your pain Her fading image is out there waiting a hearts desire so incomplete As a savior I make this offer to walk on water to set you free Take my dreams I shall believe Years lost in exile have taken their last her fading image found Within an instant the forces strike them down Where the fires are burning where the innocent once fell Forced to the edge by a vastness of fury trading heaven for a glimpse of hell Posessed by an image where two souls unite destined to seek and avenge Rising from darkness to conquer the night never to wander again
