1.Mother Earth
Birds and butterflies
Rivers and mountains she creates
But you'll never know
The next move she'll make
You can try
But it is useless to ask why
Cannot control her
she goes her own way
She rules until the end of time
She gives and she takes
She rules until the end of time
she goes her own way
With every breath
And all the choices that we make
We are only passing through on her way
I find my strength
Believing that your soul lives on
Until the end of time
I'll carry it with me
She rules until the end of time
She gives and she takes
She rules until the end of time
she goes her own way
she rules until the end of time
She gives and she takes
She rules until the end of time
Until the end of time
until the end of time
she goes her way
2.Ice Queen
When leaves have fallen
And skies turned into grey.
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You better hide for her freezing hellOn cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it？
You better believe it.When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you are all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You better hide before she finds youWhenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen？
Haven't you seen？
The ruins of our worldShe covers the earth with a breathtaking
cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of a new day
3.Our Farewell
In my hands a legacy of memories
I can hear you say my name
I can almost see your smile
Feel the warmth of your embrace
But there is nothing but silence now
Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell？
Sweet darling you worry too much, my child
See the sadness in your eyes
You are not alone in life
Although you might think that you are
Never thought
This day would come so soon
We had no time to say goodbye
How can the world just carry on？
I feel so lost when you are not at my side
But there is nothing but silence now
Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell？
Sweet darling you worry too much, my child
See the sadness in your eyes
You are not alone in life
Although you might think that you are
So sorry your world is tumbling down
I'll watch you through these nights
Rest your head and go to sleep
Because my child, this is not our farewell.
This is not our farewell.
4.Caged
These are the darkest clouds
They have surrounded me
Now I find my self alone caught in a cage
There's no flower I can find in here
Not withering
Or pale to me
Everyone with a friendly face
He told me he loved me
While he laughed in my face
He just led me astray
He took my virtue
I feel so cold inside
My heart is covered
With thoughts entangled
How could it ever have felt so real？
Is there a place more lonely than I feel within？
Could I have seen？
Could I have known？
I just took it as the truth
Everyone with a friendly face
He told me he loved me
While he laughed in my face
He just led me astray
He took my virtue
I feel so cold inside
Sorrow has frozen my mind
Always there to remind me
It keeps me from believing
That someone might be there
Who'll free me and never ever leave me
He told me he loved me
While he laughed in my face
He just led me astray
He took my virtue
I feel so cold inside
Sorrow has frozen my mind
He told me he loved me
He told me he loved me
My heart is covered
5.Never-Ending Story
And fallen in the end
Kingdoms have risen
Then buried by sand
The Earth is our mother
She gives and she takes
She puts us to sleep
In her light we'll awake
We'll all be forgotten
There's no endless fame
But everything we do
It's never in vain
We're part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey
No one is to stay
Where ever it's going
What is the way？
Forests and deserts
Rivers, blue seas
Mountains and valleys
Nothing here stays
While we think we witness
We are part of the scene
This never-ending story
Where will it lead to？
The earth is our mother
She gives and she takes
But she's also a part
A part of the tale
We're part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey
No one's to stay
Oh where is it going？
What is the way？
We're part of a story, part of a tale
Sometimes beautiful and sometimes insane
No one remembers how it began.
We're part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey
No one's to stay
Oh where is it going？
What is the way？
We're part of a story, part of a tale
Sometimes beautiful and sometimes insane
No one remembers how it began.
6.Deceiver Of Fools
He feeds on pain
He rules again
If for all he cares
He will guide
The faith again
Our light in the darkness
Is too small to see
There's always a sparkle of hope
If you just believe
He told the tale so many times
About the dream not meant to be
As faith for the future faded fast
He grows strong with their displeasure
It sets him freeChorus：
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hopes
Deceiver of fools
He rules again
He feeds on fear
Poisons the truth
To gain their faith
To lead the way
He will sell your soul to the grave
Without a hesitation to make
He belongs to the dark(chorus)
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hopes
Deceiver of fools
He rules again
Please awake
And see the truth
He can only be
If you believe what he tells you
Remember who you are
What you stand for
And there will always be a way(chorus)
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hopes
Deceiver of fools
He rules again
In my heart there is a place
In my heart there is a trace
Of a small fire burning
A sheltering ray shines through this night
Although it 's small, it's bright
He will sell your soul to bitterness and cold
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hopes
Deceiver of fools
Shall he rule again？
He will sell your soul to bitterness and cold
As faith for the future faded fast
He will sell your soul to the grave
As faith for the future faded fast
Deceiver of hearts
He will sell your soul to the grave
7.Intro(Mother Earth)
8.Dark Wings
Until the fight I could not see
The magic and the strength of my power
Dark wings they are descending
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe
Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
As they took your soul away
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Don't you die on me
The night turned into the day
Blinded by your rays of life
Give us the strength we needed
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Don't you die on me
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Don't you die on me
Don't you die on me
Dark wings they are descending
As they took your soul away
9.In Perfect Harmony
In Perfect Harmony
In a world so far away
At the end of a closing day
A little child was born and raised
Deep in the forest on a hidden place
Mother never saw his faceChorus;
Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
The woods protected, fulfilled his needs
Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
The woods protected, fulfilled his needs
He found shelter under the trees
He grew up in their company
They became his familyChorus (2x)
Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
The woods protected, fulfilled his needs
Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
The woods protected, fulfilled his needs
(solo)
A thousand seasons
They passed him by
So many times, have said goodbye
And when the spirits called out his name
To join forever, forever to stay
In perfect harmony
Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
The woods protected, fulfilled his needs
Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
The woods protected, fulfilled his needs
In perfect harmony
He found shelter under the trees
The woods protected, fulfilled his needs
10.Restless(2nd Version)
She embraced
with a smile
As she opened the door
A cold wind blows,
it puts a chill into her heart
You have taken away the trust,
you're the ghost haunting through her heart
Past and present are one in her head,
you're the ghost haunting through her heart
Take my hand as I wander through
All of my life I gave to you
Take my hand as I wander through
All of my love I gave to you
You have taken away the trust,
you're the ghost haunting through her heart
Past and present are one in her head,
you're the ghost haunting through her heart
Lai....La.....
Take my hand as I wander through
All of my life I gave to you
Take my hand as I wander through
All of my love I gave to you
Lai....La.....
11.Bittersweet
If I tell you
Will you listen？
Will you stay？
Will you be here forever？
Never go away？
Never thought things would change
Hold me tight
Please don't say again
That you have to go
A bitter thought
I had it all
But I just let it go
Hold your silence
It's so violent
Since your gone
All my thoughts are with you forever
Until the day we'll be back together
I will be waiting for you
If I had told you
You would have listened
You had stayed
You would be here forever
Never went away
It would never have been the same
All our time
Would have been in vain
Cause you had to go
The sweetest thought
I had it all
Cause I did let you go
All our moments
Keep me warm
When you're gone
All my thoughts are with you forever
Until the day we'll be back together
I will be waiting for you
12.Enter(Live At Utrech 1998)
The gates of time have opened,
Now, it's chains are broken.
An ancient force unleashed again
As I enter the portal,
I feel the enchantment
It takes me away, away from here
Come near me,
enter my private chambers,
I want to feel the warmth on my face,
light-in darkness,
lift me up from here.
Give me your wings,
to flee from my ivory tower.
As I enter the portal,
I feel the enchantment
The stars above are lying at my feet.
Come near me,
enter my private chambers,
I want to feel the warmth on my face,
light-in darkness,
lift me up from here.
Give me your wings,
to flee from my ivory tower.
13.The Dance(Live At Utrech 1998)
Someone is dancing on my grave
Sending shivers down my spine.
I hear a laugh, it awoke my soul
The wind takes the leaves
where he Wants them to go
His tunes enchant our world,
Our thoughts and leave us frozen
Take my hand
I'll take you to the promised land
You're the one
I hear a laugh, it awoke my soul
The wind takes the leaves where he
Wants them to go
His tunes enchant our world,
Our thoughts and leave us frozen
In this heart of mine
It's you I find
Take my hand
I'll take you to the promised land
You're the one
Nevil,
whatever you have done,
these tears
Will fade
Nevil,
wherever you have gone,
Please have faith
14.The Promise
On behalf of her love
She no longer sleeps
Life had no longer meaning
Nothing to make her stay
She sold her soul away
I held you tight to me
You slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed
I believedAfter the night he died
I wept my tears until they dried
But the pain stayed the same
I didn't want him to die all in vain
I made a promise to revenge his soul in time
I'll make them bleed down at my feet
I held you tight to me
You slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed
Sometimes I wonder
Could I have known about their true intentions？
As the pain stayed the same
I'm going to haunt them down all the way
I made a promise to revenge his soul in time
One by one they were surprised
I held you tight to me
You slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed
