- A Feast For The Vain
[Mephisto:]
Everyone is here
The feast can soon begin
Vanity we celebrate
My favourite of sins
[Ariel:]
Chandeliers so grand
- A Sailorman's Hymn
can you hear the sirens resound?
from the coastline of Ireland tonight
it's the song of a promising heart
of the souls that the ocean unite
and she stands by the window alone
staring into the rain
she is trying to guide his way home
- Abandoned
Once my life was plain and clear
I recall
Once my ignorance was bliss
Nightfall came
Like a serpent's kiss
To my troubled mind
Why my God

I've been witness to so many wars
That I'm blind to affliction
No ability left to remorse
It's my faith and conviction
Wide awake
In this world
Full of hate

far across
the sea
a piece of history
in Egypt's land
I'll build a city
beautiful and strong
beyond belief
a new metropolis

Say my name
No beautifying filters
I'm craving that honest pain
These perfect lines
Are always out of place
Only you and I were born to break the chain
Caught in the framework
- Anthem
What's the miracle, if life itself is not?
Who am I to praise his worth within?
I may stumble over words that I forgot,
Just as life itself will slowly begin.
Sing me a song for the mountains to move,
Sing me the anthem of life,
Sing me the anthem of life.
- Ashes to Ashes
Ravished from our paradise
A crack in the mirror
I know who’s to blame
So full of life, but paralyzed
Etched on my iris
But I try not to think of it all…

He Was A Young Boy
About To Be A Man

Come snow
Come winterland
I have resigned myself to death
Come will to show the hidden hand
So I can draw my final breath
You could take me higher

Endless alone lost at sea
It's a never ending chore to
Keep my head above these waters
I've never feared before
The sun has taken its toll
The salt runs in my veins
I've never feared before these
- Can You Remember
"Hey! Woo! Thank you! Okay, we're gonna slow it down for a bit now.
This is a song about a girl that might have forgotten me by now.
But I hope we will meet again some time in the future."
A flame within my heart has died
This a song, it's song with no reprise
Today I just don't know why
What we had and what we shared, so divine

Move slowly
Beyond the colors of my eyes
Move slowly
Into the corners of my mind
Rising like the Pegasus
Each and every one of us
Released
Islands in the sea of dreams
- Citizen Zero
I wait to surface
Above these bellowed growls
To sweep the shallows of utopia
I am the anchor
And the rope around your feet
In a river deep I hold you down
I've come to stage your abdication
I'm the creation of your sins
- Condemned

If my soul could revive
From my carnal remains
What does it matter to me
If it all fades to black
If I'm born once again
Then no one really is free
- Dear Editor
"Dear Editor,
This is the Zodiac speaking.
I am back with you.
Tell Herb Caen I am here.
I have always been here.

He will get tired then leave me alone.
I am waiting for a good movie about me.

Speak my friend
You look surprised
I thought you knew
I'd come disguised
On angel wings...in white
I can make
Your dreams come true
What a couple...
- Don't You Cry
(Dedicated to the memory of Thomas Youngblood Sr.)

I've come to this point
on my own I've been searching my way
I lost you so early
the days went so fast
you don't know I prayed every day
- Dont You Cry
Little by little
I've come to this point
On my own I've been searching my way

The days went so fast
You don't know how I prayed every day

First you said that you would never leave me
Merry were my days
Then you told me life is never easy
And left without a trace
But how come I want you

How to stay forever young

Please protect my beauty
Velvet skin so pure and white
Hear my name resounding
- Elizabeth II. Requiem For The Innocent
Mother, can you hold me
one more time again?
Whisper "I still love you" in my ear
Mother, did you lie?
Would you tell me why?
There is something deeper that I fear
Justify the malice I portray
Daggers in the darkness find your way
- End of innocence

Tell me do you remember
The games and the laughter?

Turned the toad to a prince
And the end was a lifetime away

One other year has left my life
One year bygone so soon
These were the days I sacrificed
These days were lived for you
Some came with winter in white
Some days were blown away
Some came with sultry summer nights
- Eternity
As I sit upon these rocks above
I feel the waves crash upon the shore
As the sea sprays on my glowing face
I wish I could embrace the sea
for evermore
As I lay my head to sleep at night
I dream the sea and me we flow as one
But I'm a prisoner of the sands and

Mighty kingdoms shall rise

Like pawns on a distant shore
There's a cold empty place inside
Where you know there's no end

You are my reason to stay
Even if daylight’s a lifetime away
May the kings and the queens of the dawn

Sometimes the weight of the world’s

Let me play a melody for you
While searching for the light
And a way to live forever
Your flaws make sure you never contemplate
And see the consequense
Of trying to survive
Like the shadows in my head
- Farewell
Winter's close...and the mountain high
I'll start my journey now

Why did God make me feel
There is more to be answered
Maybe God cannot remedy
Our souls if he tried

Take a look into the crystal
Take a look at what the
Future may bring

till the day you died
do you think I wished
do you still believe I tried

There's A Clock On The Wall

Wait as a ... of eternity

When that certain fury would come
Someone to respect and be respected by
When deprivation took its toll on you
No more to defend
Fading away

If she could ease your pain
You've been gone for awhile
Crushed you heart and soul
And teased your bane
Hush your mouth
Here she comes
Watch out

To draw me under

My entire world is crumbling
And it whispers that I am
The chosen one

- Liar Liar ft. Alissa White-Gluz
Would you pray if I said you're dyin'
Would you be a little stronger or fall down on your knees
Would you stay with me if you knew that I was lyin'
Would you walk away or turn the other cheek
I tremble where I stand
My wish is your command
The nature of a truly desperate heart

The world we know from our beliefs
And who sees only black and white
Distinguish loss from sacrifice
Some day we may come to peace
With the world within ourselves
And I will await you
Until I close my eyes
- Moonlight
I have never craved the system's sympathy
I get restless over pity smiles
Some precaution wouldn't harm my history
If I had the will to wait a little while
You cut the silence like a knife
You know I can't repent for

On the fields you restore your beliefs,
Like an old man in church on a Sunday.

As I'm crossing the enemy's line,

for all the spirits lost

In the shadow of my doubt
This life is dust on naked walls
In the ruins of defeat

Of final fall

All alone yet somehow bound and unified

Somewhere to belong

Hold me close,
Tomorrow may be gone

Of a watching eye
Watching eyes of THE woodsman

Yet peculiarly cold
Silent slumber and wide awake
- Poetry For The Poisoned - Pt. I-IV

There was a song that someone sung
A hint of recognition

Voices echoing in my distorted mind

So warm and oh so weak

- Slib
( Kamelot – Roman Horký )
Den šel už spát za horu vzdálenou
a léto voní nad trávou spálenou
a štětce vánků z nití červánků
snad namalují tvoji tvář
Sevřel jsem dlaň a vešel do polí
kráčel tou cestou, kde bolest přebolí
- Solitaire

And so I await the moment

in crystals dancing down
from a sultry sky

in every frozen tear

Made me believe that
That you were her
Just like the river disturbs

В 1997 году мир увидел второй альбом, который назывался «Dominion». В следующем году основатель группы Ричард Уорнер (ударные) и солист Марк Вандербилт покинули Kamelot. Новым солистом стал уже на то время известный Рой Хан (Roy Khan), экс-солист группы Conception.

Ask why with deep concerned
Don't you think the human races

Where has all the magic gone

I'm a creature of the night
- The Zodiac
She was so kind to me
She sang her little shadow song
And I could not resist it

Pushing for the limit of sanity
Pushing for the surface
… so I can breathe
Dark is the night for us all, but some days
I feel the light crawling down these jagged walls
Blessed sunlight
Some of this pain is sole subjected
- Torn
Like a pendant on the neck of a queen
10,000 scars an embrace of the stone

Betrayed but still I never came around to open my mind
I was torn by the storms in my head

in the black of the night she appears
I can see that she's trying
to relocate the source of my fears

in this dream she will show me the door
to a new revelation
and I know that I've seen her before
- Veil of Elysium
Hear my promise of blistering light

Trust in the might of a miracle
Now winter has come and I'll stand in the snow
- Veritas
In the mirror my reflection lies to me
That is not the man I want to see
But every harvest takes me closer to my aim
I will be there as soon as darkness falls
My life is but a heartbeat away
And all you've ever had will soon belong to me
[Chorus:]

I recall one summer's night
Within the month of June
Flowers in mahogany hair
And smell of earth in bloom
Only such a melody
Comes without a sound
More than faintly heard by those
Who know what they have found

Sorrow in Halo Black

are distant and vague
down at the base

once in a while I am
weak and afraid
tired and sick of it all
