Return of the Tyrant

There was a ship. Cursed, with black sails and crewed by the damned... or so the legend says. Scores of souls were lost, sent down below to Davey Jones. Then one day, it vanished... as if the ship was swallowed up by the sea itself. It's said that on moonless nights the cursed ship returns to torment the waves, with its crew of the damned and its captain with a heart of pure black. Every sailor knows the legend and the name: Tarranno Del Mar... Tyrant Of The Sea. Sailing through the gates of hell Ten score years in wait, it served him well Cast in shackles, a madman betrayed Fed the anger that's burning inside of him Broken chains, now he takes to the waves again The tyrant's rage Talons reach toward the sky Pitch the banner black and raise it high Cut-throat, insane, lost souls of the damned Cursed eternal, the captain and crew with him Rule the seas, the legend revived again The tyrant's reign CHORUS: What secrets lie below the cold grey waters? Moonless nights we rise The tyrant rides again Nowhere to run Nowhere to turn When the time has now come The tyrant will rise again SOLO: LT / MARK / LT / MARK The seeds of death for all are sown Dragged below the waves to Davey Jones Torn asunder and plundered their gold Shown no mercy, the Tyrant dispatches them Trim the sails, new conquests await the rage Of the Tyrant's blade REPEAT CHORUS

Passing through the void The darkest grand illusion Chaos is riding on the wind Destroyed in agony They create a maddened lair Summon all to heed their cry Innocence fading away - the dying eyes of prey (Chorus) Desperate cries, hail of fire deciding All our fate in the night Tempt in sin, shadows then begin to Gather the souls they hold within Victims of desire Pestilence of their invasion Forms then take on evil waves Paralyze, victimize The shadows fall and enter fast from the sky - (from the sky) Summon all to heed their cry Innocence fading away - the dying eyes of the prey (Chorus) I've betrayed - slowly fade I repent my inner plea I've denied - sanctified Cannot hide form this monstrosity I'm immersed in a curse Of this jaded imagery Realize that your cries Only jeopardize this legacy (Solo) (Chorus) (Chorus)

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must have been something you said I just died in your arms tonight I keep looking for something I can't get Broken hearts lie all around me And I don't see an easy way to get out of this Her diary it sits on the bedside table The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away, I should've walked away Is there any just cause for feeling like this? On the surface I'm a name on a list I try to be discreet, but then blow it again I've lost and found, it's my final mistake She's loving by proxy, no give and all take 'cos I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must been some kind of kiss I should`ve walked away, I should've walked away It was a long hot night She made it easy, she made it feel right But now it's over the moment has gone I followed my hands not my head, I knew I was wrong Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must have been something you said, I just died in your arms tonight Oh iI, I just died in your arms tonight It must have been some kind of kiss I should have walked away, I should have walked away

A bad place, a dark space The lines that weather my face I stand alone before the storm Walk with me and you'll see The flame that burns within me A fire so cold to keep us so warm You see the darkness in my eyes The seed of life inside me dies A search for the truth, to find a reason why A voice cries out in pain in the night... CHORUS: Riding the storm wind And facing the demons inside A thousand sins behind my eyes A cry from the blackness Alone with the darkness inside Forever will I walk against the wind... No rhyme and no reason My world betrayed by treason I stumble blind, what's going on? Can't see the road that lies beyond A need to feel where I belong When everywhere I turn seems to guide me wrong Running through the night for so long... REPEAT CHORUS SOLO: MARK / LT / MARK REPEAT CHORUS

Darkness closes in And I turn and face the storm Midnight in the rain Like a thousand times before Oh... I feel the sorrow coming, world succumbing Oh... I feel the sadness tear me away CHORUS: The rain keeps falling down on me Of pain and life unwound to be The rain keeps falling down on me And darkness all around As the rain falls down Falls down on me... A feeling of an empty life Of broken heart, of broken dream So tear the sonnet from my soul Silent words unseen REPEAT CHORUS SOLO: LT / MARK / LT REPEAT CHORUS

The future’s bright I tell you Another perfect day All our baggage packed we climb Aboard this sinking ship And so we sail… Takes a second to say hello And forever to say goodbye Turn the cheek of a blind denial Into another lie PRE-CHORUS: Oh, playing out this masquerade Hold on to the dream How long can we travel down this road we made? Go on alone and leave me far behind CHORUS: I tell myself we’re all okay (I can) think of a hundred different reasons For me to make you stay I leave you now and go my way To find a change of season To help me get my feet back on the ground Inside it’s so frustrating A heart wrapped in golden chain Always searching for the rainbow Always waiting in the rain REPEAT PRE-CHORUS REPEAT CHORUS SOLO: LT REPEAT PRE-CHORUS REPEAT CHORUS OUT

I felt so weak, all hope was gone My skin blistered slowly away Gangrene and Smallpox - no life left inside of me The pain that I felt was unreal... PRE-CHORUS: I make my last stand as success comes my way My bones gain their strength, nothing stands in my way The final encounter decides who will win Desire to live will survive... CHORUS: Running away to paradise - victory in my sights Running away to paradise - the gods are on my side My body aching - scarred, torn and wretched Forced to go on through the pain Was it will that revived me, brought life back inside of me With blood flowing fast though my veins... REPEAT PRE-CHORUS and CHORUS SOLO: MARK REPEAT CHORUS x 2 SOLO: LT / MARK

Vision born of dream-like lucid flames Crimson light mastered by faceless names Burning passion or a timeless force Voices speak of shadows rising forth PRE-CHORUS: Once were dreaming Now are living Feel the rain begin to pour Hear the wind lift off and soar CHORUS: Eternal storm Restless souls Eternal storm Restless souls embrace the dying dawn Nightmares destroying mortality Creating dreamscape reality Lost and forgotten our spirit sought Forced upon us ways of lifeless thought REPEAT PRE-CHORUS REPEAT CHORUS SOLO: MARK REPEAT CHORUS SOLO: MARK

Another city passes in the darkness Another country come and gone And on this never ending road I wander Seems like I’m always on the run CHORUS 1: So long ago I chose this lonely road To follow new horizons So far to roam A million miles from home So many more to go… In another life I could have been the everyman Another tale untold for me Cursed by the gypsy’s kiss and driven onward To reap the winds, forever free CHORUS 2: So long ago I chose this lonely road To follow new horizons So far to roam But one thing I know One day I’ll find that road That takes me home Solo: LT / MARK Another plane, another train Another thousand miles of road And one more day, I’ll find my way Home to you… Now I sit here waiting in the darkness My thoughts a million miles away Of all the things I’ve done, all the sights and wonder Not one thing could make me stay (one more day) REPEAT CHORUS 2 SOLO: MARK
