- 18 years
Are you still satisfied with the situation
That you've had for many years now?
Time is movin' on your childhood it's gone
But you don't realize that the game isn't won
Blind you think that you're safe at home
But the fall is near if you carry on
18 years of freedom - where have they gone?
- A While In Dreamland

Every night I'm only waiting,
For the bird of dreams in me
Take me on your wings and guide me
- Abyss of the Void
Now I must go, I'll wait for you to follow
No turning back
But there's a light, I've seen it all,
Riding through, never fall.
When all is done, we must be one
I will return...
The saviour is calling,
- Afterlife
Do you believe in the aftreworld
Or the afterlife?
Do you agree there's a place for us
Beyond our life
Where the timeless call for life
Is lost and you will see
The forgotten dreams
That you once had become reality
- All Of The Damned
One time in life is all I need, to satisfy my senses
Delusions of reality, are tearing your defenses
I never try to catch the rainbow,
But in the end I have a dream...
All of the damned will be wearing the crown
It's hard to believe as your world's going down
- All You Need To Know
I came from the sky on the coldest day
They tough me to speak and to walk and obey
Injected their will into my simple kind
Forever to be in control of my mind
Let me out, let me out and walk away
Let me live on the run
Let me out, let me out, don't make me stay
- Anywhere In The Galaxy
Staring out the window
at places in the starlit horizon
I'm waiting in the darkness
for arrival
but the sands of my time are running low
Lost and stranded far away from home
Peeping through window in the darkness
- Armageddon
Now, all you sinners! this is the prophecy,
The revelation of your own destiny
You had a dream once, a dream that you have sold
And now, my brother, annihilation is foretold

When we rode across the air, when the day of judgement comes?
And when your world is gonna blow

Walking through the mists again
Avalon, seem caught forever
I don't know where I belong

Eternity, a lonely grave
from the haze of time I'm calling
is our journey to begin
- Beyond The Black Hole
I have come from so far away
From the sunlight of my home
And I have seen it's the only way
Now my sun is dead and gone
I raise my head in silent anger
Seems there is no place for me
The only way out is to go

The time has come to rise, my name is Doom
- Born To Fly
I'm your master, I'm your fate
Choice is yours, so don't be late
I'm gonna take you for a ride
Wheels are turning much too fast
Will we die to live at last
I'm gonna salve your soul tonight
- Changes
I need a new direction
Another thought to serve me right
My mind has got an infection
And there's nothing that seems to help
I need to grow an island somewhere inside my head
Where nothing can disturb me
Where I am free, where I'm forever set
- Changes - 1991 Sigh No More
I need a new direction
Another thought to serve me right
My mind has got an infection

Maybe it's not important
If we are dead or alive.

They hate and terrorize, they sacrifice
They try break my will
- Countdown
The businessmen got a job to do
The Eastenworld is waiting too.
They're sittin' on a bloodstone calling you a beggar,
Waitin' for another deal in open cars.
The presence of the men gives a bad vibration,
They're countin' dollar bills, and they're workin' on
The final countdown
- Damn The Machine
Damn the Machine
Drilling in the center of my mind
One evil dream
The annihilation of mankind
The stern-faced leaders in their temple of doom
Creating nightmares made for me and for you

Coming from the dark side
When the moon en-lights the still
They're chasing you with thunder
And they aim in for the kill
Seven deadly snipers
Seven lives to live
Seven million pairs of eyes
- Dethrone tyranny
Someone is out there he's watching what I do
From far in the distance, his eyes everywhere
I look around me, there's noone that I see
But still I feel someone's controlling my mind
Save your breath and run
You can't escape the one
- Dream Healer
Who will creep inside your mind a night,
Who makes your wildest dream arise?
Who makes you see what you can't see,
While you're awake but in your dreams?
Out of a world we call the twilight zone he comes,
Out of a world where all your reason is a lie.
- Eagle
[Music/Lyrics: Hansen]
I was lost, had no reason
I was blind, saw no treason
I was devastated, couldn't take no more
Man infuriated, raging thunderstorm
Where's it now, the golden future
- Empathy
As the days grow colder now
And everything is lost
A vision forms of better men
Rising from the cross
Never held the key to life
Finally their loss
Rising from the emptiness
- Empress
The sun is going down, the curtain's falling
The heat is rising now, the master's calling
Into the night I thunder, into the dead of night
And I will hear the calling and leave it all behind
The holy man has lost the grail, signs of love from yesterday
the eyes of god I've turned away, the dream became alive
All my life I've waited for the yearning in my heart
- Farewell
Farewell
Do you remember,
How we used to play like kids in the sun
Nowadays, there's no light to see
And we're feeling cold
So the time has come
To say forewell my friends
- Father And Son
Did you ever want to worry
Did you ever wanna have a doubt?
You wanted the best for me,
Somehow things went wrong.
And i tore us apart.
Did you ever think it was easy,
Thought my time was running out
Tried it how I wanted tto
- Fight
I see a world that`s full of fake and disillusions
I see no move in history
Where am I meant to be?
What is my destiny?
The path I`ve chosen now has lead me to a wall
And though my mind perceived I still was a blind man
And not the one who understands
- Fire Below
Lead us not into temptation as we grow in fear
Free your mind from all frustrations as they're drawing near
Take your time, live in sin, choose your alibis
Work all day, die in pain, you're a sacrifice
They're gonna send you down to hell
And put your body on a shelf
- Follow Me
Will you follow me into the light
The fortress of wisdom, a star shining bright
The garden of heavenly sin
A kingdom of beauty to please you within
Where do we go from here?
Leaving our memories behind
It's time to free your mind
- Free Time
The weekend comes, I'm gonna see my baby.
I close the door and leave everything behind
I hit the road, the sun is shining down so brightly
Five more miles and I'm lying in her arms.
Now her motions turn me on, and I'm gonna sing my song.
Free time is one of the things that I love,
Free time is one of the things I enjoy.
- Gardens Of The Sinner
As the heat is rising, out there in the past
Fallen angels calling, they have come to last
they are coming out of the dark
Then the horsemen ride out
every thing grows cold
now their armies march in
Out there from the underworld
- Gods Of Deliverance
The sun goes down in the western sky
The shadows are gonna return,
I wander alone through the back of my mind,
The twilight of moonstarts to burn
How I can see beyond existence?
I'm leaving into the unknown
I wander around as I hear someone scream,
- Hand Of Fate
Now... that all seems so quiet
and we all have survived
but after all
still we fear
the hand of fate... tonight
Men on the mountain
from hell you came to destroy
- Heading For Tomorrow
Time has passed in the modern world
Where the madmen live and speak their word.
Life in hand they deal with god
Put a trademark sign up on everyone.
God bless the children, freedom is their word.
Freedom, freedom 'til they learn to obey.
Don't fear the liars, reason is their name.
- Heal Me
When I wake up at the end of the day
Moon comes out sun fades away
I get myself out of my bed and cry
Is it really me now - could this be the real thing
Is there someone else to ease the pain
So easy, so easy now, has it really gone too far
It don't matter anyhow, sometimes I feel like an

- Heaven Can Wait
Too many people, too much trouble, too many problems in the morn.
Another sunrise in the rubble, another ship sunk by the storm.
Some little angel tries to tell me that it's over.
It's just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder makes me stronger, even bolder.
Oh no no, I haven't had enough.
Heaven can wait, 'til another day.
- Heaven Can Wait - 1989 Heading For Tomorrow
Too many people, too much trouble,
Too many problems in the morn.
Another sunrise in the rubble,
Another ship sunk by the storm.

It's just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder makes me stronger, even bolder.
Oh no no, I haven't had enough.
- Heaven or Hell
[Music/Lyrics: Hansen]
Where will I go now it's all over
Where will I be now all is said and done
Here comes the time, prepare for justice
Seems like my final journey has begun
Riding on the wind, there's only one place left to go
- Heavy Metal Mania
Inside the power cage, I can feel the music of my age
It's paranoid first degree, It's telling me that I'm not free
I've got Heavy Metal Music in my blood,
And I'd like to get it to you if I could.
As I lie here in the fright of darkness, the wings of light remove the veil
It's Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, Heavy Metal Mania all the way.
- Heavy Metal Universe
We're the masters of the wind
We're demons left in howl
We're the undefeated warriors
We have heard the call
We're the keepers and the leaders
Of the only thing we love
We're the saviours
And protectors from above
- Hell Is Thy Home
Take where the thunder roars, into the blazing light
The hand of fate is crushing down before me
The eyes of god have turned away, no angels are in sight
As I face the Final chapter of our story
And now I hear the millions cry, screaming
into oblivion you take their lives
Hell is thy Home
- Hellfire
As You burn my dreams before my eyes,
All I've ever loved
I'm falling through an empty void,
I will not return
I'm falling from grace,
And I'm wrong in this place,
And no-one can save me today
- Hold Your Ground
Come to plague me, rape and take me
Freeze me up, freeze me up.

Freeze 'em up, freeze 'em up.
They're closing in, the iron round.
They hold the share in hand.
To strangulate your way to live,
- How Long
So here stand again on the island of madness and pain
My fate is calling me to walk cut of the dark and the rair
If I could go where I can Walk, I can run, I can breath
where destiny is clear from the smoke and the smell of debris
I raise my hands up to the voices in the sky
Forever I mass go anda find the other side
- Illuminati
Illuminati, you've come to take control,

I look out to the stormy sea
I wish upon a star
Pulsating light to comfort me
But oh, it seems so far
So as I stand I realize
I wish that I'll be there
About to give up all my life
- Into The Storm
You try to force me on my knees
Until you reach the point of no return
You can't change me, 'cause I am free
Let me out now, I've got some fuel here to burn
In the land of the free, they're calling out for me
I'm riding on the wind, I'm on my way

Somewhere in desert of the void
Beyond the wall
We're the last survivors
We're the ones who'll never fall

Darkness all around us,
Not a single beam of light
We all have is our faith
- Last Before The Storm
Who's controlling all the misery and pain
When the error signs are lighted in the masterhall
And from the start the action is in vain
Cause the beast is always careful to avoid the fall
We crawl up to the skies
We'll never return again
- Leaving Hell
Come on down into the basement of my temple
I show you things I cannot even tell
the fallen dreams that were made of good intention
wherever people got their soul to sell

You try to call me, I'm not at home

But I won't have much time, I'm sorry once again
- Men, Martians and Machines
From out of space we came on to the earth
From far away on solar beams

I was walking through a misty day, the sky was cold and
grey

and said:
"I've seen a million years pass right away.

I don't need no money, I will stuck to my ideals.
You better get some money, you better get yourself a deal.
I won't change my habits and throw it all away.

It only makes me sick and makes the people turn to fools.
It only gives you power and power makes the rules.

It's the dawn of a new world order
This is a new beginning

I remember the times we had, take a look at the past

And when the day begins
- One With The World
Do you think there's a chance
For this world to live in unity as one?

But I feel it's like a view into the sun.
Blinded by the light everything will look so fine
But still I feel the rays are burning my soul.

- Real World
Here I sit again and think about the world we know
The same old thing, where do we come from and where do we go
Sometimes I worry just too much, sometimes I just don't care

Let me hear you say yeah!
Sometimes I'm happy as can be and sometimes feel so low
And what is good and what is bad, I sometimes just don't know

Thought ancient lands of time
Are we lost forever?
- Rich And Famous
I don't believe in fame, I believe in music.
I don't believe in money, I believe in the power of love.
I know I got a brain and I know how to use it.
I don't want no one to stick his finger in my pie.
You think you put your best foot forward,
But it is moved by someone else.
In blind belief you follow every path that says:
- Rise
Fast decline of human values
Fast decay of virtues and morality
We're falling to pieces
Trust and faith are smashed to splinters
Confidence abused and torn away
But we will remember
- Salvation's Calling
Hello my name is Mr. Know-It-All

The hope in life is clouded by eternal haze

We've come to reach our destination planet earth

for us all
So many light years we have travelled far from home
- Short as Hell
So now we talk about destruction,
A human race that's left to die

Ain't nothing left now to believe in
- Solid
Leaving the planet, we're coming to burn

- Somewhere Out In Space

You?re following the path of no return
Youre Blackning your soul, forswearing your freedom

When you're drowning, when you're freezin', when you're feeling cold
There's a light in the darkness as the elder always told.
When the winter's coming closer and the autumn's passing by,

Where the end is always good and never sad.
Show me the way to another world
Where the sun is always shining in the end.

We follow our own instincts, we're livin' in between,
The struggle of the races continues on the scene.

Beyond our small horizon it's got a perfect dream.

We travel through the ages, we follow our dreams
But the spirit of a free world is the final dream.
- The Winged Horse

Castle of tears, shadows passing by
Blood is covering the mighty walls
Of those who lost their skin and bones
No one ever saw the light
- Time For Deliverance
Angels surrounding my soul
Spread wings out of control
One life only one soul
Angels might come every day
Angels might come out to play
And if you can feel you will hear them say
That it´s time for deliverance to save what we are
- Time To Break Free
Where will you be tomorrow?

Look into the mirror, tell me what you see

Until you disappear!
Now, I'm doing, what I say
- Time To Live

Full of mercy for those about to die
Up in the heavens so close to the edge
- To Mother Earth

We're coming from the streets
With our fists up in the air

He had found a way to leave, to somewhere far from now
Travelling in his time machine a dream that had come true

Far beyond the rising sun I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs – back to past again
- Valley Of The Kings
Father can you hear me, did you talk to mother earth
What did they say, what did they see, now ... is it time for your rebirth?

In the valley of the kings, when the storm breaks loose again
Then the gods return to fight, for the future of their lives
- When the world
When The World
Bodies lie around me, only shells left from the fight
victims of the ones that turn the day into the night
survivors stumble through the field,they're calling for the priest
branded with a sign, the number of the beast
it's Hell!
- Wings Of Destiny
Do you remember the days
When living was meant to be free
Not looking for fortune,
not looking for fame
The beauty of life was the key
We lived as one to conquer the world
A thousand dreams to come true
We knew in the end we'll find
