- Beyond the stars
Walking through shadows down the night of memory lane
Think of the past I'm reminded once again
A place where the people had gathered as one
Their spirit provided a haven for all
Darkness may cover the land far away
Visions uncover the past once again
My soul feels the echo of yesterdays dream
- Cemetery Gates
I never walked a lonely road
When I was young
You were always there to guide me
And if I stand up should fall
Along the way
You would pick up all the pieces.
Always I prayed
- Civilised
Turned on the radio to hear
The tragic story of an boy of 7 years
Should be sleeping in his bed
Should be sleeping, but instead he's lying dead.
In a world where children lose their lives
Face the bullet, face the knife
Is this what we call being civilised?
- Diamond Sky
I'm searching for glory and truth
You know it's not gonna be easy
Maybe I'm dreaming, but life is so cruel
The power is leading my heart.
Draw in your mind a utopian world
I want to break free and escape here
Don't wanna hide in the shadows no more
- Edge of Time
[WORDS & MUSIC - WILLIAMS]
I told you once, told you a thousand times
It's not easy living this way
We chose a path, said it's the only one
The only path that will lead us away
(Find a way) you're not the only one
- Far Away
Far away in a bygone age
When the stories all were true
Legends told by the men of old
Have brought us here today
Legend tells a secret, buried deep in time
A may to free our people, to free them from these crimes
Lost beneath fountain, across the distant sea
- Find My Heaven
When the thunder rolls, lightening in the sky
Do you carry on regardless even though you all may die ?
And when the sun burns down, draining you of life
Do you crumble in the desert; do you fight to stay alive ?
So we ride over the mountains
Over the mountains that stand in our way
We will fly, higher and higher
- Follow Your Heart
I dream of strange illusions and the legacy of old
But can I really trust the visions that I see ?
Take me to the temple, I desire to see the truth
And to discover what the future holds for me
The chance you've got may never come to you again
You need some courage now to make a choice my friend
The sands of time dissolve with every breath you take
- Freedom Of Thought
[Verse 1.]
I look around and what do I see ?
Imprisoned minds in a sick society
I watch as the cycle goes on
Does no one else see that this is wrong ?
Spoon fed ignorant lies whilst imagination dies
Ready to accept (whatever offered next) without question or insight.
- Human Machine
I'm trapped inside this life
The same thing every day
Too afraid to change
Is there another way?
I have no confidence
To try and break the chains
We only get one life
And only half remains
- I Don't Believe In Friends Forever
You never know who you can trust
You never know who's gonna stab you in the back
Sometimes you just don't know your friends
Sometimes you gotta sleep with one eye open.
It's hard to know who's on your side and who's against
It's hard to recognise the truth behind the lies
Sometimes a moment, sometimes many, many years
- Immortal Plains
What about everything that happened long ago
What about plans we made together
What about comrades stood beside us way back when
It seemed times would last forever
With sword in hand we will make a stand
Eternity would not see us divided
In the darkest night though there was no light
- Into the Light
[WORDS - WILLIAMS / MUSIC - SCOTT]
There was a time and place we would always go
We will meet there once again
Darkness had descended all around our home
Now we begin the journey there
Walk in the path of our fathers before
- Magic Never Dies
It started long ago, when stories still were told
And heroes still defended their world
The centuries went by and all the stories died
And no one knew that magic survived.
The last of the mage line
Conjured a spell that would live forever
A chant and a rift in time
- Never Again
I always had a dream, pictures in the magazines
Want to be like all my hero's are
Will I die before I'm old; live the life of rock n' roll
Travel all the highways of the world.
I took the easy way
Turned my back and walked away
Didn't have the courage or the will
- Only In My Dreams
Only in my dreams
She's an angel, running all night through the badlands
Trying to find her way home
Hiding her eyes from the sandman
Till morning breaks through she's alone
Searching the dark like a radar
Trying so hard to believe
- Rising Anew
I've seen the writing on the wall, believe me
I know they wanted us to fall away
They criticised our every move, deceivers
They never wanted us to break their chains
[Chorus I:]
They sit in judgement and they think they know it all
They act like gods but they are human after all
- Sacred Land
[WORDS & MUSIC - WILLIAMS]
Memories of childhood, a place so far away
Growing up together, it was where I thought we'd stay
Then one day soldiers came, told us of the wars
They told us we should join them and defend the holy cause
Adventures that would lead far across the land and sea
- Survive
World of confusion
Face oblivion
Veil of illusion
Everything is wrong
Leaders they fail us
Just don't have a prayer
Serving self interest
- Temple of Fire
[WORDS - WILLIAMS, WALKER / MUSIC - WILLIAMS]
Seeing is believing so believe in what you see
Feel the flame of desire burning deep in the fire
Can this be illusion or deluded fantasy ?
Can you see what is true, for me and for you ?
The people gathered all around us
- The Message
I saw you turn and walk away
I never thought that day would be the last day
We would ever meet
Looking back on all we had
We had each other and that was enough for us
Didn't need any more
[pre-Chorus]
- Well of Souls
[WORDS - WILLIAMS / MUSIC - WILLIAMS, SCOTT]
Million voices call to me,
There's nowhere left to run
Souls cry out in torment,
Pain and anguish has begun
Trapped for all eternity
No hope of breaking free
- When I'm Gone
I search the ruins of the world I call my own
In hopeless desperation now I make the journey home
I find that everything is not the way it was
You cannot fight the future; no you can't turn back the clock
The rain upon the mountains
The eagle in the sky
And the wolf and raven prowling all around
- Wings of Forever
[Words and Music - Williams]
The kingdom lies in shadows, now the sun is burning grey
Will we even live to see tomorrow?
The echoes of the battlefield still ringing in our cars
Now our future dark and stained with tears of sorrow
The Knights who went before us calling in the wind.
