My friend, I see you lying there, deep in your dark despair…
You and your dying will, you and your fading light…
For too long you’ve been struggling in the shadows of blackest night.
It is time to ignite the fire inside!
It is time to leave the fears and the sorrows behind!
It is time to unfold the prophecy my friend, and to put all your remaining misery to its end!
So, catch the furious wind, spread your mighty wings, and from the darkness that held you back… Shine forth.

Shine Forth
04:22
|
|||
|
There in the shadows of blackest night
You are struggling to find the light
I see you’ve fallen in deep despair
Slowly dying for all you care
It seems to me you have lost control
No angels coming for your soul
Well, listen closely my dear old friend
I’ll help put your misery to an end
We ignite - the fire inside
Don’t hesitate - no time to waste
(Rise up) Catch the wind
(Don’t stop) Spread your wings
Take flight - Just leave your darkest days behind
Shine forth, from the darkness that held you back
All the fears and the sorrows that still remain
So break the chains and make your final escape
Shine forth, as the prophecy now unfolds
Before your eyes, just believe my words
You will break this curse and shine for all the world
Look in the mirror’s reflection now
Through your new eyes, what do you see?
A dream, a distorted reality
Or your life, as true as it can ever be?
We ignite - the fire inside
Don’t hesitate - no time to waste
(Rise up) Spread your wings and leave your past behind

Eyes of Serenity
06:13
|
|||
|
There’s a fire dying in your heart
Smothered by a world that’s torn apart
Unjust indoctrination from the start
Fog clouded warriors without names
Is it all pretend or just a game?
No one has a single guess who is to blame
Mind in the darkness, I’m calling from the light
Lose all your sorrows and look to the sky
All your life you have been told what’s wrong and who is right
Closed up in your cage and with a face full of fright
Waiting for a savior to descend and help you see
To set you free from your agony
Gaze at your world from the mind of a child
Dispose of the anger and hate you have inside
Together we can build our home for the free
Our vision through these eyes of serenity
From the darkness evil kings ascend
Screaming out their lies for years at end
Ramblings that even they can’t comprehend
Making up the facts at their command
False stories spreading across this land
Turning truth impossible to understand
Minds in the shadows, I’ve come to bring you light
From your abyss, take the power and rise
All your life you have been told what’s wrong and who is right
Closed up in your cages with your faces full of fright
Waiting for enlightenment of the truth beyond the lies
Just look into the mirror deep inside

Across the Heavens
04:45
|
|||
|
The revolution’s calling our name
to guide the everlasting flame
Resources depleted, defenses are gone
No longer a light from the sun
But the dreamers have to survive
To find the everlasting life
Out in the heavens the future awaits
In the past we cannot stay
The time that we spent here was always meant to last
But we managed to outgrow our place in this world of ashes
Our toxic past we leave behind
To secure the future of our kind
With eternal promise held up high!
Look beyond the stars to find
What the undiscovered powers out there mean for humankind
No more skies filled with dust
No more hearts left to rust
Into glory we will ascend
To soar across the heavens
Now we load our ships to depart
Another chance for life to start
Arising in glory with blood on our hands
We leave this forsaken land
With heavy hearts and haunted souls
We fly away from our once called home
Seeing the earth disappear from our sight
As we head into the night
Rising from the ashes of our glory days, to find our place
Beyond the skies, beyond our time, will we live to see that day?
Look beyond the stars to find
What the undiscovered powers out there mean for humankind
No more skies filled with dust
No more hearts turned to rust
With an undying hope held high
For a future life beyond the sky
Into eternity we now will ascend
To soar across the heavens

Turning Time
03:48
|
|||
|
A wanderer, I’m floating endlessly
Around the carousel of time
Life full of sins, and missteps of my past
Can I redeem those crimes?
Ride through the void, don’t look back
Once I’m gone there’s no returning
Taking a risk for my faults to be replaced
One mistake and my world could be erased
I’m turning time, correcting all the wrongs
Undo mistakes of my darkest days
Another chance, to see where I belong
Redeem my life, when I’m turning time
Amongst the light, my darkness lying bare
Choices I will take back
Friends I’ve lost, the enemies I’ve made
Actions that will fade to black
I used to pledge to awful signs
When there were better ones to follow
This is the day I take another path
Come what may, see you in the aftermath
I’m turning time…
I must forget those evil flags
Once I’m finished, they’ll be burning
This is the time to discover my new way
There will come a time where I no longer have to say

Under the Blazing Sky
06:08
|
|||
|
The crimson sun is rising high, blazing across the sky
Our time has come to ride away and fight until we die
The prophecies foretold this, our kingdom’s tragic end
Destruction from the underworld has started to ascend
The war has lasted a lifetime, now the lifetime is fading away
But the battle is only beginning, we must not be led astray
When our final end is nigh we stand and face it together
We are sworn as one for all the world
Now the land is burning, and the skies are filled with flame
A sacrifice for all the gods to see who is to blame
The forces of apocalypse are starting to advance
In armageddon’s imminence, will we ever stand a chance?
There were so many roads to follow (all the dreams I was yearning for)
But I spent a lifetime in battle (and it’s lost forevermore)
Now our final end is nigh, and we must face it together
We are sworn as one for all the world
Heroes, we are rising when the devastation comes
We are masters of our destiny
It’s the time of absolution, and to meet our final fate
In this never ending symphony
We unite under the blazing sky
How long will it last, will our ending be in peace?
Lay us all to rest, so we can fly over the seas
How long can we endure these attacks before we die
We will never give in, we will survive under the blazing sky
We fight and die for our kingdom even in the face of demise
The underworld will never take us, like archangels we’ll rise
Now our final end is nigh, and we’re facing it for the last time
We are sworn as one for all the world

One Million Ways
05:18
|
|||
|
Blinded by the crimson sunrise
Shining its blaze on your deepest desire
But something wicked is holding you back
A shadow of doubt seeks to kill your fire
Far across this world full of misery and hate
People lining up outside of purgatory’s gate
Just leave behind your darkest times
(and you’ll bring out the light)
Let’s shape a land with power unified
Let’s raise our hands together now with glorious pride
Follow me my friends, take a look at the sky
See the one million ways to fly
Darkest forces controlling your mind
Brainwashed, you walk among the living in shame
Look to the stars, there’s a million to seek
The light from the heavens is calling your name
Far across this world full of misery and hate
People lining up outside of purgatory’s gate
Come with me and see your dreams come true
(Rise together anew)
Let’s shape a land with power unified
Let’s raise our hands together now with glorious pride
Follow me, my friends, take a look at the sky
See the one million ways to fly
Let’s spread the word of treasures untold
The future is not set, come see the story unfold
Follow me, my friends, to the stars in the sky
And the one million ways to fly
Just leave behind your darkest days
(And we’ll all celebrate)

Infinity's Wings
03:29
|
|||
|
One chance to find the meaning of it all
Two souls, one goal, to see our destiny unfold
Far from the shallow shores
We’ll throw away the oars
As we sail the waves of evermore
One vow for our future in a self-made paradise
Where dreams and reality are moving intertwined
You have opened up the door
To see what I’m fighting for
Towards eternal dreams we soar
So glorious we ride like the wind through the sky
On the everlasting dream forevermore
So glorious we ride like the wind through the sky
For a new tomorrow on infinity’s wings we fly
Two friends united by the power of love ’til the end
Take my hand, make a stand, together we’ll be free again
Bound by undying flames
We enter the glory days
As we set our course so far away

Eternalize the Dream
08:05
|
|||
|
What is this place below, where I’ve been struck and fallen down
So close to glory, yet so far, I failed to claim the crown
I see no way to save my life, I see no guiding light
How slowly must I suffer for a guardian to arrive?
My life keeps flashing so fast before my eyes
But the things I’ve never done is crashing down on me from the skies
Now the power flickers away
No coming chapters in this play
This is my final day
All I ever wanted was to become old and wise
This ice cold heart of mine needed a flame that never dies
But my last breath has been taken, my story’s found its end
Now I’m waiting in the darkness for an angel to descend
Guardians, forgive me - I never found my dream
All the visions of life I saw, I never wanted to fully believe
Guardians, forsaken I watched my dreams go by
I give in, just let me fall into the deepest sleep before I die
No I never met my goals
But have mercy on my soul
Please show me my final role
A shining light piercing the darkness, shatters all my fears
Reaching for my hand, telling me ”wipe away your tears”
The light, it starts to carry me, where are you taking me my friend?
Rising from the abyss out of the darkness, we ascend
This is not the end!
Gaze upon this foolish one who fell before his life was lived
You’re not supposed to be here until you’ve followed all your dreams
Gaze upon your future full of untold stories, love and pain
Only you can break the chains and find your rightful place
There’s nothing here for you, here your dreams cannot come true
We grant you one more chance to make your wishes into fate
The future is yours to take
Shining like burning stars across the blazing sky
Defy the darkness, turn back time and open up my eyes
Spread my wings, and follow my life’s many newfound ways
I will chase my dreams eternally, just one more thing left to say
Guardians, just watch me eternalize the dream
At last I’ve opened my eyes to see
My ever flowing stream of destiny
Guardians, I wonder, where does that rainbow lead?
There’s nothing stopping my journey towards the rising sun
A future where I’ll be free
My life’s new mission (eternalize the dream)
Just one true vision - eternalize the dream

Far beyond reality in a world of wicked spirits rising up
Endless adventures all created by your dreams
Form a team of enlightened heroes and solve the hidden secrets
Stand against the evil king and crush his vile regime
To seek the treasure trove will be my final destiny tonight
Arm yourself and enter this dimension far beyond
Where you will give commands and the world will respond
The other side is waiting for someone to be its guide
Take control, let the skyblazer rise
In a faraway and glorious universe filled with magic quests
Take on the whole world for the power and the might
Battle every monster in the mist for everlasting glory
Become stronger every day to win the ultimate price
Dethrone the evil king to claim your final victory tonight
