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

Into the storm, Into the storm

Now I am riding on forever
And I don't know where I will go
And every storm I'm running after
Will take me further on I know

A land of the free is calling out for me
I'm riding on the wind, I'm on my way

Into the storm, Into the storm
Get out of my way!

A land of the free, made for you and me
We're riding on together on our way

Into the storm, into the storm
I'm riding on into the storm

. . .


Now the time is here again
I'm calling you my friends
from the ashes we must rise

and it's been for much too long
now that everything went wrong
like the eagle we must fly

ooh the seal is torn
the seed is sown
ooh, we are coming

And we rise like phoenix from the ashes
let us go where no man's gone before
and we don't need your tomorrow
we're the kids of yesterday
and our spirit will remain forevermore

We're rising again

What's the use of living in a world that changes fast
I cannot see the good side of the progress
beyond the icy glitter world
our hearts are beating fast
a storm released to hammer on the fortress

your time has come
ooh, your world is done
it's time to meet the maker
ooh, we are coming

And we rise like phoenix from the ashes
let us go where no man's gone before
and we don't need your tomorrow
we're the kids of yesterday
and our brotherhood is here forevermore

We're rising again

....uuh, like phoenix from the ashes
we will go where no man's gone before

Rise like phoenix from the ashes
let us boldly go where no man's gone before
we don't need your tomorrow
we will do it our own way
and the world belongs to us forevermore

We'll rise,
we will go where no man's gone before
to hell with your tomorrow
we'll do it our own way
and our spirit will remain forevermore

so keep your dreams of progress
you cannot win at all
the spirit will remain forevermore

Rising again

. . .

Rising Again

[No lyrics]

. . .


Hey, this world's a dying planet
Nothing matters, nothing's won
I have come to seek revenge
For all that you have done

Hate and fear, eternal sadness
Nothing matters, no one cares
I am here to stop the madness
Free you from despair

Once I heard the white dove sing
It was the sound of peace
Beauty dies in agony
Crushed under debris

She was so beautiful
She was a dream
And when I cry for her
I hear them scream...

No respect, no heart for nature
Led by greed they tear our soil
Ripped, the sky, the damage major
The air is at the boil

Here create another wasteland
On and on 'til nothing's there
Here it comes, the devastation
Poisoning the air

Once I saw the eagle fly
It was the sound of peace
Beauty dies in agony
Crushed under debris

She was so beautiful
She was a dream
And when I cry for her
I hear them scream...

You were so beautiful
You were a dream
All we shall heed the call
Shall be redeemed

She was so beautiful
She was a dream
And when I cry for her
I hear them scream...
Oh Mother Earth
You were so beautiful
Just like a dream
All we shall heed the call
Shall be redeemed
Yeah!

. . .


My mind is darkened by a demon in my soul
My life is empty and my heart is getting cold
My hope is dying by things I used to see

So much confusion - I'm down on my knees
To find a solution - I want to break free

Look through the eyes of time and finally you will see
The broken dreams and all the pain and tragedy
My mind is asking, will I ever find the key?

So much confusion - I'm down on my knees
To find a solution - I want to break free

Here comes the rain again, falling on my head
My mind is dark again, it's gonna make me mad
Here comes the rain again, crawling like a snake
It's like a thunderstorm, I can not escape
Possession, possessed

And when the curtain falls they still don't realize
Who cries for children, when there's no one left to cry?
Who's proud of victories, when all the love has died?

So much confusion - I'm down on my knees
To find a solution - I want to break free

Here comes the rain again, falling on my head
It's like a thunderstorm, it's gonna make me mad
Here comes the rain again, crawling like a snake
Here comes the rain again, I can not, I can not escape

I try, but it's so hard to find
Wiping the tears of my mind
I cried for the pain deep inside
Where is my blue sunny sky?
... and where the fuck is my Superman outfit???

So much confusion - I'm down on my knees
To find a solution - I want to break free

Here comes the rain again, falling on my head
My mind is dark again, it's gonna make me mad

Here comes the rain again, no more, no more
It will not bring me down, no more, no more

So let me dry the tears and then I will arise
Out in the sunlight see me fly
See me fly

. . .


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

A Romeo is standing bleeding in the corner
He cannot die, he cannot live alone
The dagger in the hands of one desperate woman
Oh Juliet, why couldn't you forgive

Oh no, here it comes again
My mind is set for freedom now
So let the ball begin
Let the ball begin

Leaving Hell
I'll build a new tomorrow
Say farewell
'Cause you can't lock me in
Time to go
I'm leaving without sorrow
Kiss my Ass goodbye
'Cause we will never meet again

And now my ship is leaving for the open water
I set my course toward the island in the sun
And if I die no one can say I haven't tried
To keep my dream alive when I was on the run

And I say oh, here I go again
My mind is set for freedom now
So let the ball begin
Let the ball begin

Leaving Hell
I'll build a new tomorrow
Say farewell
'Cause you cannot lock me in
Time to go
I'm leaving without sorrow
Kiss my Ass goodbye
'Cause we will never meet again

I say oh, here I go again
My mind is set for freedom now
So let the ball begin
Let the ball begin

Leaving Hell
I'll build a new tomorrow
Say farewell
'Cause you cannot lock me in
Time to go
I'm leaving without sorrow
Kiss my Ass goodbye
'Cause we will never meet again
No, never again!
I'm leaving Hell

. . .


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 head the calling and leave it all behind

The holy man has lost the grail, signs of love from yesterday
The eyes of god have turned away, the dream became alive
All my life I've waited for the yearning in my heart
Right out there I see a star, the sun is going down

Kiss the princess, Empress of the dark
Drink the poison, listen to your heart
Feed the Princess, Empress of the dark
All shall feel the fire

My heart is crying out, the fever rising
No one can stop me now, it's mesmerizing
I break the chains that bind me, the chaos in my life
I leave the world behind me and live in my own mind

A holy land, another shore, no more pain and no more war
She's calling me from far away, makes me feel alive
Here I stand in front of her, losing my disguise
No regrets, I'm standing there, waiting for the bite

Kiss the princess, Empress of the dark
Drink the poison, listen to your heart
Feed the Princess, Empress of the dark
All shall feel the fire

Kiss the princess, Empress of the dark
Feel the poison, flowing through your heart
Kiss the Princess, Empress of the dark
All shall feel her fiery Love

Another life, a different way, signs of life from yesterday
The memory will fade away, the dream became alive
Here I stand in front of you, tearing off the lies
No regrets, I'm standing tall, I now am free to bite

Kiss the princess, Empress of the dark
Drink the poison, listen to your heart
Feed the Princess, Empress of the dark
All shall feel the fire

Kiss the princess, Empress of the dark
Drink the poison, listen to your heart
Kiss the Princess, Empress of the dark
All shall feel the fiery Love

. . .


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!

I can't escape the nightmare that's here before my eyes
a prisoner of destiny, a victim of the night
my thoughts, they move in circles, I'm heading for the fall
they tell me hope dies last, but I got no hope at all

So talk to me, the world I see
has reached the point of no return
the tons of grief killed my belief
my heaven's on fire and it burns

When the world's on my shoulders
and the pain comes again
then I wish I could be there
in my dreamland again
There I'm free from the madness
without chains and no wall
When the world's on my shoulders
I will pray for you all

Is someone there to save us from the voices in the dark
the words fly out like bullets, they leave a deadly mark
the mindless kill their agony with prices from the show
they're heading for tomorrow, but they don't know where to go

So talk to me, the world I see
has reached the point of no return
the tons of grief killed my belief
my heaven's on fire and it burns

When the world's on my shoulders
and the pain comes again
then I wish I could be there
in my dreamland again
There I'm free from the dark
and I'm safe from the wall
When the world's on my shoulders
I will pray for you all

So if you talk to me now about our belief
and all the meaning somehow
is to make people free
All our lives we fear, to be what we hate
breaking this curse with a fire
that burns all the darkness away

Save me, Hold me, Help me
Free me, Love me, Heal me

When the world's on my shoulders
and the pain comes again
then I wish I could be there
in my dreamland again
There I'm free from the dark
and I'm safe from the wall
When the world's on my shoulders
I will pray for you all

. . .


Opportunity came to my door
when I thought I might need a ride
but I said I'm doing alright
turn around and start to see

Yeah, life is boring- Monday,Tuesday
The machines are roaring-Wednesday,Thursday
Friday, and the rain keeps falling
just like everyday

Time is running-Saturday, Sunday
when there's gonna be some holiday for you?
and time flies, time flies, time flies, time flies

I could be a rich man and I could be a superstar
yeah, what's the aim and what's the plan
please just leave again

Set me free, yeah I wanna live it up
and let me be all that I wanna be
cause the whole world in my hands is down
and nothing will last
oh bring back the harmony

Sweating, nightmares - no way to escape
no, I can't sleep
I'm going down in a sea of madness
Raging anger- Hell or paradise
deep in my dreams
no escape for you, no escape for me

Time flies-gotta think it over
Time flies-better think again
Time flies-living in the real world
Time flies-or living on the edge

I should be a wise man, don't need to be a superstar

Set me free, yeah I wanna live it up
and let me be all that I wanna be
cause the whole world is in my hands now
but nothing will last
oh bring back the harmony

What will you do in the dark
the hand of your fate left it's mark
so don't try to argue with me now

Your Hell ain't a bad place to be
take a look at your life now and see
'cause maybe I will not come back

You stand on the edge of the world
your life will be torn into pieces
The hammer is falling
the world is not waiting for you
hey you think that you know what is real
travelling around for no reason
you better watch out and jump off of my cloud
for your own sake

Set me free, yeah I wanna live it up
and let me be what I wanna be

Set me free, mmh I wanna live it up
and let me be all I wanna be
cause the whole world is in my hands now
and I want it to last
oh

Set me free, yeah
and let me be what I wanna be
the whole world is in my hands now
and I want it to last

Opportunity is me

. . .


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
and if you're with me on this point, put your hands high in the air
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
The world is the most crazy place that we could have been
It seems the meaning of our life is going down in sin

So let me live and let me be
your eyes are blind
but I can see

God is an illusion and there ain't no paradise
and there is no underworld below
Out there is no Heaven and there ain't no Antichrist
Welcome to the real World
and the show!

So let me take you down my dear to places you don't know
a land that you have not been to and normally don't go
I have all your pleasure toys, the fortune and the fame
so when you come with me my friend
you'll never be the same

So just say yeah, and come with me
don't be so blind, it's time to see

God is an illusion and there ain't no paradise
and there is no underworld below
Out there is no Heaven and there ain't no Antichrist
Welcome to the real World
and the show!

Don't be afraid now of the faces in the night
and let your body take control
We're going down into the beam of the neon lights
and I will purify your soul
Yeah!

Standing on a razor's edge, lost in space and time
All around the silence falls, prepared to draw the line
A shot, a cry, a flash of light, a bullet hits the wall
Not yet prepared, the fight for life is not yet lost at all

So come with me and let me be the one to lead you home
Like Diamonds we'll be shining bright before we turn to stone

God is an illusion and there ain't no paradise
and there is no underworld below
Out there is no Heaven and there ain't no Antichrist
Welcome to the real World
and the show!

Welcome to the show,
This is the real world
This is the real world
Welcome to the show
Yeah yeah yeah!

. . .


I 'm high over mountains
I conquer the stormy seas
I 'll capture your fortress
Bring you down on your knees

I'm living the dream
Break the chains of oppression from you
In the Land of the Free
I am calling for you

I might come with thunder
I might come with rain
The choice's not given
I will master your pain

The edge of a dream
See the glimpse of a new horizon
Life is not what it seems
Oh, can't you see

Hear me calling on the wind
Can't you feel the change begins
Hearts of truth will freedom bring
I'm calling on the wind

Hear my prayer
Where's the saviour
Voice of anger will echo with force

Watch the sunrise
Taste of freedom
Heart is bleeding
I ride through the eye of the storm

Hold on to your dreams
Say farewell to the grand illusion
Blinded eyes never see
In the Land of the free

Hear me calling on the wind
Can't you feel the change begin
Hearts of truth will freedom bring
I'm calling on the...

Hear me calling on the wind
Can't you feel the change begin
Hearts of truth will freedom bring
I'm calling on the wind
On the wind
On the wind

. . .


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
And vanish in thin air

But I know, as I dream
All the world has passed me by
And I know I should do better
For you and me tonight

I'm coming home, Yeah!

There were stars in the eyes at the masquerade
And the King was lost in the grand illusion
Well, the the day has come, they've lost the way
And the Joker laughs at the mass confusion
They stand and stare

Now listen all you people
This is what I say
Raise my voice in anger
I'm trying to get away
...From all

Now listen, what you're doing
Is just not good at all
The silly games you're playing
Are raising up the wall

Time goes by, the world we love
Is gone... forever

Are we ever gonna change our way
Will we ever stop the fury
Is it life or will we just decay
Will we lose or stand in glory

Insurrection-God election
Heavy changes make my day
Storm the spire, Hearts on fire
Storm is coming on its way

Insurrection, Insurrection

Masses will be rising, marching forces neutralising
All the powers in the world with raging fury
Enemies are falling down, their blood is spilled on holy ground
The end is near for maximizing profits

Why do we have to fight, why?
Close your eyes and die

Are we ever gonna change our way
Will we ever stop the fury
Is it life or will we just decay
Will we lose or stand in glory

Insurrection-God election
Heavy changes, disobey
Storm the spire, hearts on fire
Storm is coming on its way

Insurrection

The king of damnation learned from the old
The harvest of fury
Love is the answer, blood is the oath
Red are the canyons, oh

Friend or foe, we have been trying
Kings and Queens, all have been lying
All the same, all devastating
All I see when contemplating hope

Here I stand alone, and I have lost the way
The eyes of a believer, turning to stone
Silent, no more tears, the emptiness is mine
Only Rain is falling, dripping on the trail
Father of the earth, I'm calling you
Dry your tears away and give me hope
Fill my heart with strength
And give power to my soul
Let magic fill the sky and take me home
Singing...
Ooh, let me go!

Are we ever gonna change our way
Will we ever stop the fury
Is it life or will we just decay
We must fight to stand in glory

Insurrection-God election
Heavy changes, disobey
Storm the spire, hearts on fire
Storm is coming on its way

I look out to the stormy sea
I wish upon a star...

. . .


Clock strikes midnight in the palest moonlight
As the man walks into my bedroom
Heart in hand I hear him speak:
" My friend,
The time has come to rise, my name is Doom.
Ask no questions
There will be an answer soon. "

And we fall through the dark of the underworld
And we're leaving the light of the day
And I know we will go to the other side
And it seems like I'm going to stay

Hell is home to the gods of the underworld
To the one who will never betray
Now my soul will be here for eternity
And the night will be leading my way

Yeah, bite me!

There was a time when hell was divine
The holy man was nailed to the cross
A fire on ice, burning inside
All my hope and loving was lost

Now hell is my home, the sadness is gone
But don't you think my soul it is lost
If you really care just hold out your hand
And I will free you all from the cross

The priest is raising hands to do the final execution
Shouting out in agony: " Fear the cross "
I'm digging my claws into his neck and raise him to the ceiling
Gritting my teeth I smell the blood
You are lost!

[Chorus]
Blood red vengeance
I want blood red vengeance
Screaming for blood

I was walking through the darkness
Searching for a white neck to bite
I was restless and the hunger
Carried me on through the night

Yearning vampire: " Fear the cross "
Feel the undead's... rage and lust

[Chorus]
Blood red vengeance
I want blood red vengeance
Screaming for blood

Into the dark
Blood religion
[Repeat 4 times]

[Chorus 2]
Screaming for blood - blood red vengeance
Screaming for blood - blood red vengeance
Give me your heart - blood red vengeance
I want it all - blood red vengeance
Vengeance... yeah

Give me your love... oh yeah
Oh, love me!
