Visions Of Darkness 04:30
lyrics

Cursed with second sight I see visions in the night Our future destiny It comes and shows itself to me In my mind’s eye I’ve seen it all Our fate, our destiny, our fall My tortured mind cannot break free From all I see Is it now too late Can we try to change our fate? Can these visions save My people going to their graves? In my mind’s eye I’ve seen it all Our fate, our destiny, our fall My tortured mind cannot break free From all I see In visions of darkness, visions of darkness Visions of darkness, visions of darkness If what I see is true There is nothing we can do For though I see it all We cannot avoid our fall In my mind’s eye I’ve seen it all Our fate, our destiny, our fall My tortured mind cannot break free From all I see In visions of darkness, visions of darkness Visions of darkness, visions of darkness Visions of Hell

When you’re all alone And needing some protection Seek the ways of truth And follow their direction Look around It can be found You need a light in your heart A light in your heart You need a light in your heart So never fear the dark There is nothing there can harm you Go the way of your heart Feel the inner light shine through you Look around It can be found You need a light in your heart A light in your heart You need a light in your heart Look around It can be found You need a light in your heart A light in your heart You need a light in your heart

She's Got It 03:40
lyrics

She walks like a panther, talks like a cat Fights like a lion with her claws in your back More precious than diamonds and softer than rain A kiss from her lips, it will drive you insane Dramatically forward but always on line She knows what she wants and she’ll get it in time More precious than diamonds and softer than rain You look at her once, you’ll never look away again ‘Cos she’s got it She’s got it She’s got everything you need The moment you see her you’re filled with desire Craving the touch that will set you on fire Your mind is noble but your body is weak It’s getting so bad you’re unable to speak You constantly see her in each waking hour But only in dreams can you harness her power More precious than diamonds and softer than rain You look at her once, you’ll never look away again ‘Cos she’s got it She’s got it She’s got everything you need She’s got it She’s got it She’s everything to me

Sovereign Remedy 04:34
lyrics

Life is ebbing away from the king His evil son watches and waits in the wings His time has come, his father will die Up in the tower the sorcerer schemes Tirelessly working fulfilling his dreams This wicked succession he’s pledged to defy The thunder it roars, the rain crashes down The lightning it charges the air all around A magical spell, a spark from a flame Joins with the water, the earth from the ground The wizard must make his potion Earth, air, water and fire Are called on by sorcery, cast in the spire The sovereign remedy can’t be delayed All through the night he slaves at his task At last, triumphant, he raises the flask The essence is made, the kingdom is saved! The thunder it roars, the rain crashes down The lightning it charges the air all around A magical spell, a spark from a flame Joins with the water, the earth from the ground The wizard has made his potion The essence is made, the kingdom is saved A spark from a flame, will make him live again

Llagaeran 05:32

Skin of oyster white, cascading flaxen hair Always sought but never found Green eyes shining bright with captivating stare Feel the shaking of the ground, she’ll astound Just open your mind And open your heart Llagaeran will hear She can heal you from a thousand different ills Never seeking a reward With her potions gathered high amongst the hills And her softly chanted words You’ll be cured Her power will never fail Not while her passions and her sympathies prevail The secret never dies Look for the woman with kindness in her eyes Llagaeran will hear Open your mind, see what you find Open your eyes, you’ll be surprised Just open your eyes

Last Rays Of The Sun 04:41
lyrics

Was that the end, has time stood still? Just a flash of light that shined so bright it turned night into day Am I alone, left all alone Or another weary traveller just passing on his way Well the last thing I remember Were the last rays of the sun It came so fast, the die is cast Well that’s the last time I will see the things that I hold dear to me But what of now, where am I now, Is there any chance of waking up to some reality? Well the last thing I remember Were the last rays of the sun

Shadows Of The Night 05:01
lyrics

Alone in darkened city streets You realise what people mean by fear You hear a distant ethnic tongue And warning signs start flashing crystal clear Night hunters, they stalk their prey Knives sharpened, the cowards way The low life that crawls In the shadows of the night Your mind sparks ‘Christ the Yanks were right I’d feel much safer carrying a gun’ Then just thank God that you’re a man Or they’d beat you up and take you one by one Good people just stay away These hell makers are here to stay Controlling their worlds From the shadows of the night You panic now you’re in their sight And beads of sweat start running down your brow The fever spreads you start to burn Just how much more of this can we allow Good people just stay away These hell makers are here to stay Controlling their worlds From the shadows of the night

Louise 04:00

Louise the time has come to see things as they are It seems that even now I love you from afar Louise why could we never see Louise that it was not to be Oh why can’t we begin to live as man and wife Instead of telling me you need to live your life Louise why could we never see Louise that it was not to be It was only you that captured me beneath your magic spell It was hard at first to see what only time could tell Oh Louise Louise it’s getting hard to live from day to day Oh what now can I do to bring you back to stay Louise why could we never see Louise that it was not to be It was only you that captured me beneath your magic spell It was hard at first to see what only time could tell Oh Louise Well you lie, you cheat You hurt, deceive You were good but so bad You were all I ever had Louise why could we never see Louise that it was not to be Louise

Fighting men, who know no fear Not seen their shores for many years Laurel wreaths and golden shields A mighty force, who never yields For their great empire of Rome They conquered lands unknown Legion of the eagle Masters of the world Legion of the eagle No flag stayed unfurled Strength untold, their right to kill, They must uphold their Caesar’s will For their great empire of Rome They conquered lands unknown Legion of the eagle Masters of the world Legion of the eagle No flag stayed unfurled

Edge Of Eternity 03:49

Don’t ask me the question, you know I can’t answer you that It’s nobody’s fault that we’re both caught like rats in a trap You do as you’re told, we’re all here to try and survive The trouble is now no one knows that we’re really alive Each time our powers are shown They crush nature’s unknown They probe and they search, fix electrodes to get to your brain You fade from the light and then no one will see you again Each time our powers are shown They crush nature’s unknown Though we’re on the edge of eternity Our paths are guided by the stars Their minds still swirl in the mists of insanity Like a soldier who’s waiting to hear his final command You ask me why, I suppose they just don’t understand Things they can’t see or things they can’t hold in their hand Each time our powers are shown They crush nature’s unknown Though we’re on the edge of eternity Our paths are guided by the stars Their minds still swirl in the mists of insanity Like a soldier who’s waiting to hear his final command We’re on our own They won’t leave us alone

Lost In A Dream 07:20

A darkened world before me now What can you do when the day gives way to night There’s not a sound but I can hear The cries of yesterday’s lost souls now taking flight My inner eyes reveal to me Vast realms of fantasies I’ve never known before They lead me on through crystal caves Rooms with a thousand keys Which one unlocks the door? Cos I’m lost in a dream in a long silent scream Oh I’m lost in a dream where am I going to? Lost in a dream is it all as it seems Oh I’m lost in a dream where am I going to? What am I going through Lost in a dream It feels like years but it’s just days Forever running through a never ending maze Eternal life, I can’t go on And spent the rest of time abandoned in this haze Lost in a dream in a long silent scream Oh I’m lost in a dream where am I going to? Lost in a dream is it all as it seems Oh I’m lost in a dream where am I going to? What am I going through Lost in a dream

The road is long and the times are hard Every hand you play has losing cards But we’ll remember all the good things not the bad Yeah we’ll remember Looking back at the great times that we had We’re cruising Driving through the rain Ah! But there’ll be sunshine When we’re all together again Now there’s some days when your life can get you down Well that’s the time that you need your friends around And we’ll remember all the good things not the bad Yeah we’ll remember Looking back at the great times that we had We’re cruising Driving through the rain Ah! But there’ll be sunshine When we’re all together again We’re cruising Driving through the rain Ah! But there’ll be sunshine When we’re all together again Driving through the rain Ah, there’ll be sunshine When we’re all together, together again We’re cruising Driving through the rain Ah! But there’ll be sunshine When we’re all together again All together again
