Flying into the storm
Hanging on a broken wing
Onto every life
A little rain must fall

Oh, the words I sing
It's a greater thing

What's become of the world
The colors unfurl, revealing a blackened haze
Conditioned to fear the voice that we hear
Calling an end of days
Millions of souls under control
Like pawns to a king, led by a string, to the final hour

Oh, Empire of the Sea, Lords of technology who fell into the void

A chill grows near you're faced with fear
a darkened day you'll see it clear

your shadows call while you stand tall
watch before me while you fall

Times are changing, rearranging
where's the answer we've all been looking for

Now at my feet, the dying voice of
Balance – nevermore shall there be a way to fly,
a way to fly on wings of Divinity, as
words of wisdom fade away

The Law of One will fade and die
The rising Moon will crush the Sky

On a cold and misty night,
a ring of torches light the hallowed ground
where his father's laid to rest

In the reflection of the sword
he sees his destiny and he swears up to the sky -
"You will not have died in vain"

Needless to say, another day has passed away
Yet everything, and nothing, has changed
Awake I lie, my thoughts get lost up in the sky
Needless to say, nothing will change...

Maybe a mystic - with fortunes to tell...
Surrender my coin at the old wishing well...
Maybe the stars will align in the night...

You can be all you desire
An honest man - a vicious liar
Seek out the Light or seek the Dark

You can honor or desecrate
Sympathize or manipulate
Carved in your flesh - embrace the Mark

Just one more night
One more score
Another question in my mind,
can't take no more

Kissing the tears from my face as
they fall
To the ground in silence

Through me you pass - just take my hand
The ferryman whispers my name
The course has been set - lord of the damned
To the banks, over river of pain

We rise and fall - with the tide
On through the gates, where shadows await
See the glimmer of gold in his eye

Screaming at the walls around me
Broken and alone
Fighting with my inner demons is all I've ever known

All I am, I give to you
All my dreams and nightmares, too

Disconnected life of anguish

Bow down in the platinum maze
Twilight cathedrals spread the system plague
Forging sacred thrones in the void unseen
Merciless judgement in the church of the machine

I'm the master, looking down from the edge of space and time
Flesh and steel intertwined
I am the future, sacrifice your soul and succumb to me

All we know, now has come undone
Balance lost between the Moon and Sun
Hear out prayers - Keepers of the Skies
Divine
Upon us all - let your wisdom shine

Losing faith as the madness prevails
in us all we are searching for a reason,

Tap the vein - Inject my brain
And let the poison flow
Torn apart - You’re ripping out my heart
It's painless, let it go

Come on, hit the switch - You son of a bitch
I'm devoured, broke in two
You take control and resurrect my soul

All along the waste and wild
legions of lost scream in pain
A million shattered destinies
all slowly drowning in tears of flame

Break the chains around your necks
lick your wounds you Dogs of War
Raise your banners ever high

Dark desires of the cynic queen
laughter echoes her name
He feels his breath decay

Opens the past to an empty page
Watch his life drain away
Arrival, dressed to kill, scarlet memories
Watching and waiting for curtains to fall

Endless sands of Alnantees - etched in
gold, a city lost in time
and from the Sea - A Child speaks of
things unseen,
before the King - a teller of the Rhyme

Five align - hidden in the word a
message locked in time

You liberate me, separate and set me free
You release my spirit to the wind
For evermore your name will soar inside of me
Let the reign of steel begin

Oh, how the prophets of the people were so blind
As one by one, all the kingdoms fall in line

It's alright no need to question
Taste the night
Just close your eyes
It just takes one bite

All you need's in my possession
Just believe
Come take my hand tonight

Alone I walk, among the twisting
shadows
tempted by the ancient magic, the Power
of Five
My desire to mirror my own image -
and I will offer you no soul - offer you no
soul

Yeah yeah

Sailing across the seas far and wide
We alone pierce the gloom of the night
We search for answers to riddles all this time
And with the sunset, our land fades from sight

Heading out (we are)

Rise of the One -
The dark iconoclast
Forging a cult of fear
With legions unsurpassed
Shouting the word -
With vicious tongues of fire
Born of illusion and deceit
Fiendish soul of a liar

Placid skies,
Through crystal gazing eyes
Slaves to our desire,
The dungeons call,
Two faces on the wall
In a ring of smoke and fire
Candles light the way,
For a moonlight serenade

Through eerie reach of ancient woods
Where lumbering mists arise
I journey for nines moons of the year
To where a land of legend lies

Deep within a stony lamp-lit hall
Under falling grains of sand
Magic eyes glance magic pages

"The Inquisitorial vengeance had been hurried by my two-fold escape,
and there was to be no more dallying with the King of Terrors..."

Edgar Allan Poe –
The Pit and the Pendulum

I awake – without the sun
encased in walls of steel

Realms of desolation - where phantoms frighten beasts
Through fiery rain, the screams of pain, eternal, never cease

Hell's abomination - boundless chains of woe
With mighty stride, the horsemen ride in a sable blackened glow

Into night - into fury
Horse of crimson she rides

Garden of ice, ivory trees dimly glow
Maiden in white, led by lanterns of stone

Captured-by the light of moon
Diamonds and Jade-dressed in ashen blue

From the North, a mistress dressed in silvery blaze
The feel of her kiss steals my breath away

Steal away through the land of the dead –
Where angels fear to tread
Over mountains, the sky, and the sea.

Feel the light bleeding from a new moon –
Escape from the hands of doom
I never thought I could change what would be.

Shackled in darkness - the forbidden portrait confined to
it's frame
Unbroken silence - a total misfortune and shame

Ragin obsession - this mask of oppression, it hides your
aggression from view
This tearing suture renounces the love he once knew

Passing through the void
The darkest grand illusion
Chaos is riding on the wind

Destroyed in agony
They create a maddened lair
Summon all to heed their cry

Child of the oceans I am, walking on the waves
Stirring the pools, I silence and calm the tides to a glaze
Touched by a vision of love, her beauty recognized
Elusive to me, progressions are now violence in disguise

On a quest for light, and braving the seas
Chasing the morning star, wait for me
Now I'm blinded, this vision I cannot see

In the cold misty Morning
gleaming rays awake the the dawn
Here I stand - A stranger in this land
does your conscience betray you?
falling from grace - feel the Sun on my face
does desire still hold true?

Mystified by her beauty - does the hunter pity

Ancient lands, lost in time
Storms of sand, walls of lime
Surround this mask of death I wear

Awakened by intruder souls
The jackal screams as my stone gods behold
Desecraters of Ra

Unlock the doors of silence
Scanning eyes turn into stone
Pours the wine of hate and enmity

Helpless minds dance in circles
Forever frozen within time
Then stare into unlit serenity

[Music: Michael Romeo, Michael Pinnella, Thomas Miller]
[Lyrics: Russel Allen]

Today I've seen the shallow face I wear
Inside this shell,
a living hell endures
I'm held captive by my fear,
decaying hope and wasted years

Covenant of pure corruption
Sink my teeth deep into you
Solemn oath of sheer destruction
Nightmare, through and through

In that hour, I'll devour
Hope is swallowed up in pain
Taste the venom, feel the power

God like perfection
Reflecting these eyes
Reaching for my place
With stars on high

Damn for betrayers
Who twilight are fold
Hell on flame and I curse you all

Above all - high and mighty - will like a towering
Steed - a web of conceit that I weave
More... Wanting much more - grasping with
Envious eyes - dark desires lead to words
That cut like knives

Frozen in your tracks... No remorse
Embrace the rack - Twisting down your spin

Seasons changing now - summer's come
And I'll be on my own
Just bear another day

I have wondered - if I can turn back hands of time
I'll try, just try another way

I don't know why my heart keeps calling,

It's all perpetual dreams, this hidden life ain't what it seems
Walking dead we are
Victims of misfortune and lies, and tortured bringers of demise
Circling above like vultures

They reap the harvest that we sew and take, like trusting fools
Promising charade
All days now disappear from weeks to months, from months to years

Don't give me reasons
Why you spread your disease like aplague

Caught up in treason
A faith that's misleading and vague

It's so sad our world is breaking down
Feeling desires, desires are set in my mind

Into the morning sun
Down his chosen road he rides to
Save the world
Cross of crimson, robe of white
Sworn to the quest for the rest of
His life

Play shields and wooden swords

Forever cursed by this game, he who plays with sin
Incantations summoned up our creations

We're players cast in this tale, believe it
Stranger than fiction
This justice thunders our condemnation

Falling into innocence by a shadow's kiss

[Part I - At the Four Corners of the Earth]
[Lyrics: Romeo, Pinnela]

On the edge of paradise
Tears of woe fall, cold as ice
Hear my cry
Renounce, have you, thy name
Eternal is my pain

Pictures of what used to be,
Lie in pieces on the floor
Finds himself in an empty room,
Her voice calls out to him
He opens the door, but there's no one there
No one there...

Draped in a silken glow of moonlight

Bite your tongue
The blackened sun
Will curse the moon
Skies of fire
Nothing's worth a damn

Calculate
Anticipate

Can you look into my eyes
Tell me, now do you somehow
still recognize this stare I wear
Through crystal tears

The light escapes my smile
There is no likeness to be seen,
it is so strange to me

Lightning flashes across the sky
The hands of time keep falling like the pouring rain
Soft voice call my name; I've seen this place before
This whole thing is mad and still I can see
That he awaits for me

As the knife cuts to the vein
Am I going insane? Have I lost my mind?

[Part I Odysseus' Theme / Overture]
[music / orchestration - Romeo]

[instrumental]

[Part II - Journey to Ithaca]
[music - Romeo]
[lyrics - Allen, Romeo]

From whom the Gods destroy they first make mad
casting shadows on our fears
Malicious designs built strong and iron-clad catostrophic
conclusion, judgement closes near

Chaos sets the stage
bitter mouths of violent rage

Silver cross in ancient halls, deep inside the castle walls
Bound to sleep, forever locked in chains
Evil carved into the stone, ancient words they've never known
A serpent's silent shroud still remains

Come with me and I'll make all your wishes come true
Lifting the chains of oppression from you
Wiping away the lines carved in your face

Your eyes singing to me sweet lullabies
While you lay there in submission
Forbidden desire
Alone in the moonlight - hearts of fire
Burn away our inhibitions

When the stars lose their fine
And night steals the morning away

Lurking out of sight
Night shall fall and feed my frenzy
Beneath an eerie moon a change comes over me

Eyes glow by candlelight
A face divided in the mirror
My psyche ripped by daggers of my alchemy

It was seven score and sixteen more
A dreadful scene to behold
Marble silhouettes, white
statuettes
Forever gaze into time
(Caught in a web between life and death)

Visions dance throughout the night

Treacherous words rise from the mist
From envious eyes and poisonous cold, pale lips
Gluttons of pleasure - Gluttons of pain
Vengeance by sevens - My sweet cursed children of Cain

Thrashing and clashing with specters
Hiding from the light - demons of death
Chaos and anguish perfector

When All Is Lost

I believe... Nothing ever comes to light -
Chasing shadows in the night
In a starless sky and I wonder why

I believe... We will never find a way -
That darkness lights the day

When all the angels cry
Sadness reigns upon us all
White doves fade to black

With the absence of the heart
We could never smile
We can feel the bitter tears

Alone I traveled through the mountains
Led by a star fading west
When I came upon an ancient ruin of a church
and it was there I stopped to rest

Then the black and gloomy night that chased my footsteps
crashed down on me like a wave
Whispering through the trees and eerie breeze

All along the waste and wild
legions of lost scream in pain
A million shattered destinies
all slowly drowning in tears of flame

Break the chains around your necks
lick your wounds you Dogs of War
Raise your banners ever high
