Cautious footsteps, watchful eyes Life depends on caution Every nerve aware, my Brother Bear Hunter is hunted and so it goes From my stand I’ve watched you Mind to mind, one step behind Step behind, it’s always the same You never can win if you don’t play the game Ancient forest, sun in the east Colors of autumn, Soul of the Beast Ancient spirit, provide the feast Blood on my arrow is the Soul of the Beast Soul of the Beast I know these woods, each and every inch Still, not as well as you, my friend My worthy rival, you fight for survival I have waited so many days My inner thoughts for comfort Won’t give up now, I don’t know how I don’t know how, it’s always the same I never can win if I don’t play the game Ancient forest, sun in the east Colors of autumn, Soul of the Beast Ancient spirit, provide the feast Blood on my arrow is the Soul of the Beast Ancient forest, sun in the east Colors of autumn, Soul of the Beast Ancient spirit, provide the feast Blood on my arrow is the Soul of the Beast Ancient forest, sun in the east Colors of autumn, Soul of the Beast Ancient spirit Ancient forest Ancient spirit Soul of the Beast

Crossed over to the spirit world Was like walking through fire Familiar faces all around me Waiting to see me We talk, but no one speaks Shrouded in eerie, white bliss This is what I have seen When worlds collide – sound like thunder When worlds collide – ocean of rain When worlds collide Walked amongst ghosts and men I prefer the dark side Specter, haunt me no longer I am you now We touch, but no one feels Covered in Holy light This is how it is When worlds collide – sound like thunder When worlds collide – ocean of rain When worlds collide – sound like thunder When worlds collide – ocean of rain We talk, but no one speaks Shrouded in eerie, white bliss This is what I have seen When worlds collide – sound like thunder When worlds collide – ocean of rain When worlds collide – sound like thunder When worlds collide – ocean of rain Ocean of rain Worlds collide

Anoint my body, say the words and lay me in my grave Death was creeping for so long, there’s nothing they could save Returned to the Earth The place of my birth Wrap me in my funeral shroud, put coins upon my eyes Burning sage will let your prayers ride smoke into the skies Returned to the womb Once vibrant, no entombed The Dark Sleep of the Dead will press you down The Dark Sleep of the Dead will pressure you down Bury my body, reform my soul Anoint my body, say the words and lay me in my grave Death was creeping for so long, there’s nothing they could save Returned to the womb Once vibrant, no entombed The Dark Sleep of the Dead will press you down The Dark Sleep of the Dead will pressure you down The Dark Sleep of the Dead will press you down The Dark Sleep of the Dead will pressure you down

For two hundred years I have watched the view from this exact spot Once surrounded by my brothers, now I stand alone One by one they have fallen, first to the fire, then by axe and saw Machines have sped my loneliness… so much progress? When you receive the mark of man, you know You haven’t long in this world, oh Stand, sentinel, stand Seen the progress of man, progress of time For two hundred years, vision, my tears Oh stand, sentinel, stand Now I have the mark Tired limbs stretched out towards the Sun Will tomorrow’s dawn be my last? I can barely breathe I can not feel extremities Father Sun is but a glimpse Or just a memory? When you receive the mark of man, you know You haven’t long in this world, oh Stand, sentinel, stand Seen the progress of man, progress of time For two hundred years, vision, my tears Oh stand, sentinel, stand Seen the changes of man, changes of mind All of these years, my people, my kind, we will stand, stand I have cradled babies in my arms, given shelter from the storm Now I must rest eternal rest, join my brothers in the Earth Now my life is but a flicker in the flame of life itself Was it all for nothing? All for nothing? Soon, I will… I will have my answer Stand, sentinel, stand Seen the progress of man, progress of time For two hundred years, vision, my tears Stand, sentinel, stand We will stand, oh stand Now I have the mark! Never fall! Never fall! Never fall! Never fall!

Light – burn my tender eyes Sound - let my ears be open now Seems like ages since those loggers took my life Now reborn, I feel my soul is dreaming Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child Spirits – dancing all around my grave Memory – feeling like there’s nothing there And all the strangers faces that do now surround me Feelings so confused within my mind Naked, lost and cold, they put their arms around me I feel compassion now for all mankind Seems like ages since those loggers took my life Now reborn, I feel my soul is screaming Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child And all the strangers faces that do now surround me Feelings so confused within my mind Naked, lost and cold, they put their arms around me I feel compassion now for all mankind Life I got to get out, I got to get out I got to get out, I got to get out I got to get out, I got to get out I got to get out, I got to get out

Smoky mist of dawn, rising slowly from Earth, so warm Blood on leaves, glistens like so many jewels Death is here… One man’s victory is another’s defeat Yet the spirit lives on and on Cheating fate once more To rise up again Warrior Spirit Do eyes of the night truly se all? Or are lights and shades illusion? Moonlight on steel, glistening like a shining star Reality or madness? Living in fear Death is near… One man’s victory is another’s defeat Yet the spirit lives on and on Cheating fate once more To rise up again, again Warrior Spirit, the shadow of the night Warrior Spirit, born of darkness, not the light Warrior Spirit is a creature of the night Warrior Spirit lives on, Warrior Spirit lives on On and on, on and on, on and on When the spirit cries out, does anyone hear? Feel the mountain tremble and the ocean rise When the wolf cries out, do you shed a tear? As the mountain crumbles right before your eyes Your death is here One man’s victory is another’s defeat Yet the spirit lives on and on Cheating fate once more To rise up again, again, again Warrior Spirit, the shadow of the night Warrior Spirit, born of darkness, not the light Warrior Spirit is a creature of the night Warrior Spirit lives on, Warrior Spirit lives on On and on, on and on, on and on On and on, on and on, on and on

You’re moving closer, closer to my heart If only in my dreams We’ve been riding on, forever in the dark Touched, but never seen Dream lover, move closer Mind vision, come real Come closer to me On Mystic Wings Someone like you could love only me Learning to fly – life’s mystery Someone like you could only love me Passion can fly, passion can fly On Mystic Wings Lost forever, if only in my dreams I never thought I’d find you I’ve been holding on, so deep within my heart Touched, but never feel My phantom lover, so close now Mind vision, come real Come closer to me On Mystic Wings Someone like you could love only me Learning to fly – life’s mystery Someone like you could only love me Learning to fly – life’s mystery Passion can fly, passion can fly On Mystic Wings I’ve been holding on, if only in my dreams Come closer to me Someone like you could love only me Learning to fly – life’s mystery Someone like you could love only me Learning to fly – life’s mystery On Mystic Wings On Mystic Wings

All these lies… don’t think I can last another day So much pain…like a needle pushing air into my veins Darkness come my way Take me from this place Thoughts within my mind Now they’ve started, slowly but surely, to unwind Love is Pain, bound to fade away Try in vain, to fly to yesterday Live in fear… To face another lonely night alone Why am I… Surrounded by a house, but not a home Darkness come my way Take me from this place Thoughts within my mind Now they’ve started, slowly but so surely, to unwind Love is Pain, bound to fade away Try in vain, to fly to yesterday Would you rewind? Could you be kind? Shouldn’t you be mine? Can’t you be? So called love… All you ever brought to me is pain Back to Hell I swear you put me through it once again Love is Pain, bound to fade away Try in vain, to fly to yesterday Love is Pain, bound to fade away Try in vain, to fly to yesterday

Around Father Sun, the world it must turn Come too close and the oceans will burn The creator of all mankind Looking down on pollution and crime Will we fall on judgment day? Is it too late to change our ways? Feel his stare, look in his eyes Are you only a taker? Search your heart, use a good mind All praise Earth Maker The wind in the trees whispers your name Does your head and your heart think the same? The creator’s calling to you Do you know what your powers do? Will you run on judgment day? Is it too late to change our ways? Feel his stare, look in his eyes Are you only a taker? Search your heart, use a good mind All praise… He will watch over me, and I shall not fall Feel his stare, look in his eyes Are you only a taker? Search your heart, use a good mind Earth Maker Feel his stare, look in his eyes Are you only a taker? Search your heart, use a good mind All praise Earth Maker

When does life become death, and death become life? It’s a fine line – one I can’t see even if I squint my eyes If the soul can rise up and live again Why is it I just don’t remember? Feels like I’ve been here before Looked in the window, but never opened the door All of my visions have gone black Now I’m trying to find my way back To another life In a time when the mysteries were told To another life In a world full of shadows, behold I’m moving soul to soul Soul to soul When does art imitate life, and life become art? It’s a hard line and crossing over is my only desire If I have walked this Earth before Why is it I just can’t remember Feels like I’ve been here before Peered in the window, but never opened the door All of my visions fade black Now I’m trying to find my way back To another life In a time when the mysteries were told To another life In a world full of shadows, behold I’m moving soul to soul Soul to soul And now it fels like I’ve been here before Looked in the window, but never opened the door All of my visions have gone black Now I’m trying to find my way back To another life In a time when the mysteries were told To another life In a world full of shadows, behold I’m moving soul to soul Soul to soul
