Don't Trust The Preacher
05:23

A man in black arrives tonight
His single task to rid this world of blight
The evil doings of the rich
The wicked incantations of the witch
Don’t trust the preacher
So put away your books and charms
And run straight back into your loved ones arms
One word from him is all it takes
And you’ll be gone before the daylight breaks
Don’t trust the preacher
You can see by the look in his eyes
This preacher’s a man with a deadly disguise
And for those he says has sinned
The cries of their souls are echoed on the wind
What’s medicine to you and me
Could be your path straight to eternity
So just forget what you have learnt
Unless he sees it fit that you’ll be burnt
Don’t trust the preacher

From the realms of fantasy to the darkness in your mind,
Slowly creeping, what’s that shadow on your blind?
Gently weaving his spell into your soul,
Softly mocking, he’s taken all control!
When you’re all alone he’ll make your mind his own
You don’t believe in fairy tales, The Bogie Man and kind
No, you don’t believe, but still you find
He’s creeping in the back of your mind!
His habitat is loneliness, his lifeblood is your fear
When the night comes you know that he is near
That creaking floorboard and the door that swings ajar
Pounding heartbeat, you’re frozen where you are!
When you’re all alone he’ll make your mind his own
You don’t believe in fairy tales, The Bogie Man and kind
No, you don’t believe, but still you find
He’s creeping in the back of your mind!

Hot Metal

The lightning flashed, the thunder roared
The Gods above came down and passed to Man their law
Raise them an army, with armour strong as steel
Throughout the land they march, the word they must reveal
They take the ore from the ground
On mighty anvils they pound
The foundry rings to the sound…
…of metal
Hot Metal!
That time is over, those days are now long gone
The legends of that age are honoured now in song
In all their glory, a new legion begins
So raise your banners high and let me hear you sing!
They take the ore from the ground
On mighty anvils they pound
The foundry rings to the sound…
…of metal
Hot Metal!

(The Tale of Tracious & Carrensa)
Tracious:
“Carrensa my love, I implore thee,
I need you to now speak for me
Come follow me now I’ll take you below
Come follow me down, come rescue my soul”
“To return me to worlds above
You need to express your true love
Come follow me now I’ll take you below
Come follow me down come rescue my soul”
“Keep your bargain, now she’s opened the door
You can take her, I don’t need her no more
Came followed me down, came with me below
Now you’ll need someone to rescue your soul”
“Did I say how there’s one thing you should know?
You must stay now, I’m afraid I must go
You followed me down, came with me below
Now you’ll need someone to rescue your soul
You followed me down, came with me below
Now you’ll need someone to rescue your soul”
Carrensa:
“Well you captured my heart and tore it apart,
How was I to know you’d lure me below?
You can’t go away, don’t leave me this way,
Oh I love you so!”

Over And Over Again
05:32

In dead of night you hear the sound,
The silent symphony that echoes all around,
The voices calling out to you,
There’s nowhere left to hide, there’s nothing you can do
And they keep coming,
Over and over again,
There’s no use running,
This nightmare won’t come to an end.
When night starts falling
Over and over again,
The endless calling,
Over and over again…
You know that this is not a dream,
No one can save you now, no one can hear you scream,
It’s supernatural, they say,
The voices on the wind that tell you to obey…
And they keep coming,
Over and over again,
There’s no use running,
This nightmare won’t come to an end.
When night starts falling
Over and over again,
The endless calling,
Over and over again…

Well you better watch out when the Devil comes a’ knockin’
Just be sure that he’s telling you lies
He’ll promise the Earth but what he fails to tell ya,
There’s a price to pay
Come judgement day he’ll be sure to come and get ya
No getting out, no way
Just be aware of his claws on your shoulder
Just take care or you’ll be knocking on the gates of hell
So when the lights are low and the room starts a’ rockin’
When temptation calls look it straight in the eyes
Just say these words “Get thee behind me Satan,
I’m seeking paradise”
There ain’t no way that I’m gonna be taken
No snake eyes on these dice
Just be aware of his claws on your shoulder
Just take care or you’ll be knocking on the gates of hell
So anytime time you hear that knockin’
And you’ve a soul to sell,
Just take heed of what I’m trying to tell ya
Just take care or you’ll be knocking on the gates of hell
You’ll be knockin’
You’ll be knockin’
You’ll be knockin’
Knockin’ on the gates of hell

Go raise the call and start the drums
For through the plains the white man comes
Watch the movement of the eagle flying
Get axe and bow, prepare your horse
Use strength and cunning like the wolf
Today will be a glorious day for dying
Today you’ll be a man my son
You’ll see the white man on the run
No quarter is for giving or for taking
And you can say that you were there
The day we fought ‘the yellow hair’
Right now will be our history in the making
Forever ride free ‘cross the sky
Just follow your moon on the rise
Forever ride free ‘cross the sky
The spirit you hold never dies
So be assured now you are gone
The memory of that day lives on
The courage of a young man’s deed now legend
Pass on this tale from son to son
For even now the white man comes
Don’t let him steal the memories of your nation
Forever ride free ‘cross the sky
Just follow your moon on the rise
Forever ride free ‘cross the sky
The spirit you hold never dies

Athenian Glory

See the light,
The flames of legends burn bright
To give Athene her right to glory
From your hands
The World’s foundation now stands
And brought from far ancient lands their stories
The mother of nations gave birth
Olympus created on Earth
To show the gods of their worth and glory
Rise up! In Athenian Glory
Hellas on high!
Rise up! Athenian Glory
Hellas on high!
I can feel
Just what the gods have concealed
The hidden forces revealed their wonder
Nothing dies
As high on the eagle it flies
To watch the Pathanon rise from under
The mother of nations gave birth
Olympus created on Earth
To show the gods of their worth and glory
Rise up! In Athenian Glory
Hellas on high!
Rise up! Athenian Glory
Hellas on high!

Guiding Star

The sun beats down upon me
There’s no mercy from this land
There’s a calling deep inside of me
I’ll never understand
I’ll never understand
The north wind blows across the plains
To Odin’s land so far
I move across this barren land
Toward my guiding star
Toward my guiding star
Many times I’ve faltered
On this journey cruel and long
But there’s a burning in my heart
The flame so bright and strong
The flame so bright and strong
The north wind blows across the plains
To Odin’s land so far
I move across this barren land
Toward my guiding star
Toward my guiding star

From the valleys where the sunlight never shines
An evil voice calls out to a far recess in your mind
It’s words are whispered in a language seldom heard
The wickedness and evil form the sound of every word
Where evil never sleeps
Where angels fear to tread
Where daylight never creeps
Where angels fear to tread
A cold mist’s creeping through the shadows and the gloom
The orange ring of fire, that burns around the seventh moon
The dark clouds spreading onward ‘cross the sky
There’s no salvation from the ever-watching eye!
Where daylight never creeps
Where angels fear to tread
Where evil never sleeps
Where angels fear to tread
The landscape turns a mass of black
You sense the evil there, but there’s no turning back
You watch the sky now glowing red
There is no welcome here, where angels fear to tread
You hear the cry of unborn kings
Who wander blindly where the bell of Hades rings
Once of the living, join the dead,
And roam the lands below where angels fear to tread
