[By Fred Fassert]

High in the sky where eagles fly Morgray the dark enters the throne Open wide the gate friend the king has come Blow the horn and praise the highest lord Who'll bring the dawn he's a new god in the palace of steel Persuade the fate of everyone The chaos can begin let it in [Lead:Andre] [Bridge:(Kai Hansen)] So many centuries, so many gods We were the prisoners of our own fantasy But now we are marching against these gods I'm the wizard, I'll change it all [Ref:] Valhalla - Deliverance Why've you ever forgotten me [2x] [Solo:Andre] Magic is in me I'm the last magic man Never found what I was looking for Now I found it but it's lost The fortress burns Broken my heart I leave this world All gods are gone [Bridge:(Kai Hansen)] So many centuries, so many times We were the prisoners of our own fantasy But then we had nothing to lead our lives No no we didn't play with our time [Ref:] Valhalla...

[Instrumental] [Lead: Andre]

[Lead:Andre] White hair and red eyes he is holding the crown The king of the island Elric Melnibone He's born for destruction He's ruled by the Gods eternal hero The scale of the universe Blood on his hands he's born a thousand times Why don't we feel the signs from the dragon king [Lead:Andre] Before the end of fire his journey starts The eagle's spreading his wings following his fate He's ruled from anywhere leads him to truth it's deep inside Hail to the king they bless tonight He's the Saviour of our time In a dark land far behind noone knows its name There's a dark sword cold as ice A blade created for him Stormbringer cries for the soul of everyone Stormbringer cries "The ending has begun" [Ref:] Run fast to madness Forever I Run fast to madness Leave him alone [Solo:Andre] [Ref:] Run... Destiny calling him back to the island And time? Time is standing still Time is not real [2x] Armed with weapon awaiting the fight He's leading the dragon The sun will never rise Creatures are lurking in darkness they hide High in the sky the dragon king is flying [Lead:Andre] Hail to the king of Melnibone He's the Saviour of our time Mourning desert rottingness Blade of dark will rise Gods divine are hiding in the dark Needing Elric's hand Stormbringer cries "I'm forged in darkest time" Stormbringer cries "The ending has begun" [Ref:] Run... [Lead:Andre]

Alone I walk, hearing a voice, That's calling my name No one with you, God, why I didn't care On through death take me away To the place time will not fade Colder than dead, Darkness - eternity, But look out A hundred thousand centuries The sun had never seen So near but much too far Eternal place you know what's life But cannot tell I can never see you changing But you look to me Time will never heal your wounds But you're immortal Hall of the King a vision of the end Hall of the King don't cry for us Don't hear us calling Oh watch out for me Hall of the light My last sin You find yourself, just take a look To see you must open your eyes Like a hawk in the sky, a wonder that dies Don't ask me why [Lead:Andre] You're the birth and you're the end You've been hurt but you're not dead Discovering you is what should never be Poisoned are our souls, And dark our hearts Ruins we have left to rule the world Destructive are our minds, It's much too late [Solo:Kai Hansen / Harmony lead: Kai Hansen] [Ref:] Hall...

Follow the blind Your journey, your last hope, it can begin These passing dreams were real not fantasy There are more things than we know Come take my hand [Solo:Andre] Searching for the talisman you'll find it On another plane far from all time Maybe you wonder while you see The same faces Everywhere You can find yourself in it 'cause you're a part I'm another Strange my feelings Where I am here For a short time I remember I had been here [Solo:Marcus] [Ref:] I'm alone, follow me! Calling you, follow me! I'm alone, follow me! Follow the blind Follow me Follow me it's my time Follow me Follow the blind Wandering in my darkest dreams Iron shadows are lurking at me In this desert the tyrant's calling On the run to save my love She's full of pain The queen is lying far behind In an endless dream [Solo:Andre] Before I thought I was dreaming A strange voice whispers in my ears You're the rat in the trap Return, pain will come to you Ref: I'm alone...No! [Lead:Andre]

[Lead:Andre] Conquer the whole world to satisfy Their lust for pain and terror Disguise their faces to hide them In the dark Determination The oath on the runestaff is the highest The ruin of a nation Step by step Destiny [Lead:Andre] Damned for all time - but what's time Tales of the one who's born to change And as the earth was old and cold She closed her eyes and fell to sleep Violation ruled the world The dark kingdom's time He's called Hawkmoon wearing a sign Black jewel in his head He's the one who's forever there He's born a thousand times [Ref:] Damned for all time In every age he existed Damned for all time In every future he'll live For all time He's crying He's crying Hey strange one I know you're standing there The faces are they mine? Are you out there? Watch out for the day, friend I'll know your name Hear my laughter Oblivion - who's blowing the horn Oblivion - who's killing the gods [Ref:] Damned... [Solo:Andre] Dark kingdom's lost now. No pain storms the land Strange things are happening. Changing of all planes In the universe by a bad magician To conquer the power of this magic A place where truth waits must be found Tanelorn Damned for all time - who am I? Once I've been called Erekose I was Elric - I'll be Corum I'm the prince of the south ice Now I'm nothing Wait for someone Wait for Ilian No! I'm Hawkmoon Oblivion - the war is eternal Oblivion - the battle is endless [Ref:] Damned...

In deserts I was preaching The hand of god was with me Baptised with water and I praised The one who came behind me To save us all with the holy ghost -a prophet of the fools I've been lost I'm sure you're there wandering around But do you care for me I'm alone You talk of love not for me In my dungeon cold I could think about All the things you've said But I can't understand your famous son [Lead:Andre] [Ref:] No no turning back I'm banished from sanctuary The darkness in me is filling me with pain There's no way to turn back for eternity In shadows I'm walking and caught in loneliness Deliverance I wait for but how long? Are you the one who should come show me the light in you Or should we wait for someone? Another! [Ref:] No... [Solo: Andre/Lead:Marcus/Andre] Your reich should come to this world Your way smoothed by my blood, friend My might will decrease but you'll get High, yes so much higher be careful of the rats, friend Cause they'll never sleep before they catch you, too The blind can see the sun, cripples walk alone The deaf can hear my words they believe just believe They believe in me. Look! The signs are near To perform my task to perform my way To perform the way I walked The way of the crucifix [Lead:Andre] I hear the hangman coming, I wait for execution [Ref:] No...
