Nocturnal Rites - Tales of Mystery and Imagination Album Lyrics

The queen sent out a message,
She heard about the ring
With powers that no man,
That no man would dare to face
The warrior headed north,
Riding through the night alone
Searching night and day for the
Secret of the ring
The secret of the legend
Lives forever
The legend brought the queen together

In from the darkness the warrior returned
And the ring that he held in his hand,
Had the powers
To freeze the world,
While the queen would bring madness
It's the ring of steel

A new day is rising,
The queen is laughing still
The ring that she wears
It's the evil itself
The secret of the legend lives forever
The legend brought the queen together

In from the darkness the warrior returned
And the ring that he held in his hand, had the powers
To freeze the world,
While the queen would bring madness
It's the ring of steel
The ring was founded again
By the rightful owners strong demand
The queen is laughing still out of control

The sun fades away as a distant flame
Against the sky
Beyond the clouds lies
The undiscovered truth
A realm still not known to man
And the powers it possesses
Now the time is soon at hand so beware

Destined to doom by a force of the unknown
The answer still not far away
You all may wonder what lies beyond

Passing away through the eye of the storm
Sealed up inside so untouched, so secured
In The eye of the strm lies the seceret alone
In dark deep inside, a power so strong

The sky starts dividing,
And sends its wrath down to earth
The fallen ones emerge out of the mist
With powers never seen before,
And the secret it withholds
Another victim of the secret
Had come forth

Destined to doom by...

Through the eye of the storm...

Standing lost at a crossroad
Life is lying in my hands
Faith is calling above us
And who can tell when the world will end

Time will choose only one man
Only one must grow old
We can both see it coming
And we know, it's been told

Passing through centuries
My mind growing weaker
Whose fate will be sealed
The gift of growing old

Only the strongest one
Will make it to the end
The final gathering is at hand

The time has come, there will be one
To stand the trial and the test of time
Another lifetime is on the other side

We're the last ones standing
Only one must fall
By the sword it settles
And we know it's been told

As the steel rings through the night
I strike the deadly wound
We both see it's coming
And I know I'm the chosen one

I'm waking up all alone
Not knowing where I am
Is this a dream or is this time for real
Will I forget about the past

Or will I end this way

If this is the way, how will I find it
Give me a sign I'll carry on

Still lost in time
Forever
Forever lost in time

Standing here in a world so cold
This silence makes me mad
I wander endless miles to find the truth
My future lies ahead
I got this second chance

Look through the darkness the vision of life
Then tell me what do you see.
A dream you believe is a life you can't see
Something exists but can never be.
You will wake up but not from a dream
When you wake up it will be for real
The feeling is real and so is the pain
Wherever you go it'll be the same

You cant believe you're trapped inside.
This can't be real, wake up in time
Before it's too late, before you've crossed the line

Don't overlook the eye of your mind
When the eye of that vision is a piece of another time.
Forever beware of what you dream
The vision is so closed behind.

The vision you saw the eye of your mind
A dark side of you never meant to be.
The reason of being inside of this dream
Something you never thought you would see.
The fury of madness the power of dreams
You could be safe so let visions be
You hold the secret the vision inside
Keep the knowledge and seal it inside

Riding out in the storm
Yet the night seemed so calm
We were hundreds of men
Side by side
Still the winds blowing strong
But sheltered by faith, we rode on,
On and on

Through the mist, we went on
With steel at our sides
We would make it to the end
Side by side.
Trough the rain and the mist
Approaching our goal, we would
Never, never surrender.

We're standing strong
There's a war left to fight
Beware for the warriors return
With swords held up high
There's blood left to spill
Prepare for the warriors return

We could fight 'till the end
Complete the quest
'Til the victors are standing alone.
By the strike of our blades
Men would fall at our feet
We've completed the quest
Once again.

We're coming home
Now the battle is won
Honor for the warriors return.
Pride for the ones who died for the cause
Glory for the warriors return.

Fill the cups up with wine
Uniting our force
And cheer for the battle we've won
And pride in our hearts
We will never surrender

The stillness of the night is here
Our brothers of the world are standing alone
To take a stand when time has come

We'll lead the revolution through the streets
The time is now to fight the world

Join our hearts in unity now brothers of all
Stand together and our voices will be heard
When all is lost and nothing is gained.
Then I will change the world

When all is done we'll stand as one
We won, our trail through life is done

We'll lead the revolution through the streets
The time is now to fight the world

Join our hearts in unity now brothers of all
Stand together and our voices will be heard
When all is lost and nothing is gained.
Then I will change the world

They set sails towards the sea
Only brave men with hearts of steel.
To embark upon the journey
And bring the treasure back.
They will head the old man's words
As he wrote so long ago
"Go and find the treasure
and live for evermore."
For thousand days they sailed
Towards a distant world.
Reaching to where heaven ends
Beyond the stars- to find the pentagram.

Now the skys fades to black
Strong winds tear the sails apart.
Above them roaring thunder
That echos in the night.
Mighty waves cast the ship aside
One hundred men go down.
Everyone but one man
That lived on to be free.

Long ago they sailed away
To a land beyond the stars.
One man brought the fortune home
And lived for evermore.

Beyond the valley lies a neverending force,
The strongest of powers ever known.
For a thousand ages they tried to get hold
Of the power that lies out of reach.
No swords of magic, no powers of man
Could ever break the seal of fate.
Look within yourself to find the true meaning
The end is closer than you know.

Break the silence of the storms.
Find the keys to the seventh winds.
Beyond this world lies a secret,
Men would die to uncover.
But within is where we learn how to see,
Where the journey begins.

Eye of the demon.

Open the eye into a neverending world
To live the dream you never knew
Fill your heart with strenght from the mind
Rise to live and never die.

The propheey tells of the powers so strong
There's no chance to be saved from the fate
There's no future for life, but the fire still burns
And the world ill soon reach its end.

All eyes of this world shall witness
The coming of the propheey.
Stand the chance, stand in faith.

It's the end, it's the end of the world
Heaven's falling down

The sun will turn black and then heaven shall fall
An earthquake is shaking the ground.
Open the seals and the secret unfolds
As we witness the fall of the earth

The sun loosing shape and heaven starts falling.
There's no chance to be saved from this fate.

There's something in the dark
There's something is us all
The fear of dying has no end
the fire in our eyes
Will keep our faith alive
The burning flame will last forever

In our dreams the curse lives on and on
'Till light breaks the spell
The memory still haunts us down
All because of the curse

There's something we all know
In the past down below
That haunts our minds and dreams together
We're searching for the way
Below the unknown truth
The burning flame will last forever

In our dreams the curse lives on and on
'Till light breaks the spell
The memory still haunts us down
All because of the curse

I'm a loser, it's tearing me apart
But I've got some news,
I'm not going down this time
Wake up your fools
'Cause you don't stand a chance
If I stand or fall,
I'll rise no matter what

Doomsday's bells (Doomsday's bells)
Hear the prophe's word
You're a liar and a thief,
By my hands I'll make you kneel

Burn in hell, Burn in hell
By my hands I'll make you kneel

Choke on the pieces of your past
Nowhere to run, the luck will take it's turn

Doomsday's bells (Doomsday's bells)
Hear the prophe's word
You're a liar and a thief,
By my hands I'll make you kneel

Burn in hell, Burn in hell
By my rage and fury fall

Wake up, you fools don't stand a chance
If I should fall I'll rise again.

The is a lifetime moment
An endless searching for the way
To live under such preassure
We see our lives just slipping away

Trying to find out
For the time is taking its toll
No matter how we try
Time never beats too slow

Accept the fact that we are living for today
Accept the fact you can't just stop the time
Don't let it get into you
Don't let it get on hold
Living for today

Living for today

Looking back, heart is bleeding
Perceiving youth in its blossoming
Trying to see the future coming
Without knowing what it's got in its hold

Trying to find out
For the time is taking its toll
No matter how we try
Time never beats too slow

Accept the fact that we are living for today
Accept the fact you can't just stop the time
Don't let it get into you
Don't let it get on hold
Living for today

Living for today

Accept the fact that we are living for today
Accept the fact you can't just stop the time
Don't let it get into you
Don't let it get on hold
Living for today

Living for today

Accept the fact that we are living for today
Accept the fact you can't just stop the time
Don't let it get into you
Living for today

Living for today
