12. Last Before The Storm

[muzax+lyrix: Hansen]

Who's controlling all the misery and pain
When the error signs are lighted in the Masterhall
And from the start the action is in vain
Cause the Beast is always careful to avoid the fall

We crawl up to the skies we'll never return again

We're the last before the storm
Watching the sun going down on us
We wish we had never been born
To be the last before the storm

Who's ever gonna change the world
I don't understand what we are fighting for
The truth is sad, no lying, we are cursed
I don't really know who ever made the Law

We cry out for more, we wonder what's next to the world
We settle the score, we never look back

We're the last before the storm...

Cry out for the people who don't know the world
They don't understand what they say and they're cursed
Lying for reasons in search for the truth

Mephisto - we comin' down [repeat]

[Solo Dirk/Kai/Melody both]

We cry out for more...

We're the last before the storm...

13. Victim Of Fate

[Originally performed by HELLOWEEN, written by Kai Hansen]

I was born in the rotten part of the town
The biggest trap I had seen
Wherever you'll go and wherever you'll get to
Evil is all around

My mother's a bitch my father's a killer
Gettin' paid for murder
Fightin' and strugglin' the whole day
The only way to survive

[Bridge:]

Wanted from law but they'll never catch me
I'd much rather die in this bloody war

[Chorus:]

Fly high touch the sky
Never know the reason why it ends
Victim of fate!

I had to kill people to save my own life
I don't wanna go to hell
I started at the bottom
I'm headin' for the top

I'll never return I'll never go back
To that goddamn part of the town
Headhunters won't get me 'cause I'm not stupid
But this ain't the life I dreamt of

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

What now lonely man who's standing
In the shadows of the streets
You're left alone with no helpin' hand beside you
You hide from the daylight living in darkness
You got no friends you can trust nobody
Except for yourself
The only shade that's beside you
Is the shade of Lucifer
Laughing with a satanic smile
And his friend Death sharpens his sickle
You don't wanna die, do you? But you will
You will burn in hell!

[Chorus]

Fly high, touch the sky, you will die!

14. Rising Star / Shine On

We drive, we drive, we're riding on through the universe
We've come to reach our destination planet earth
We come, we run, oyu cannot see us, flying in our spaceships, shooting
cross the sky
We explore and we all know what this is about for us all

So many light years we have travelled far from home
Someday we'll be there I know

Shine on rising star
We travelled such a long way
But still you seem so far
Shine on, Rising star for our belief in unity at heart
Rising Star
Come on and shine

Living was torture and dying release
A declining world, no future, no hope
We were passing the point of no return

So many light years, still we travel on and on
And someday we will call you home

Shine on, Rising Star
Diamond in the distance, still you seem so far
Shine on, Rising Star
Forever light the darkness in our hearts
Rising Star, Rising Star

Salvation,
Damnation
We crawl across the sky with pain
Forever we will fly

Out in the darkness
There's a never ending light

[ Solo: Both ]

Still we are far away
But we'll be there one day
Someday we will call you home

Shine on, Rising Star
We travelled such a long way but still you seem so far
Shine on, Rising Star
Forever light the darkness in our hearts
Rising Star, Rising Star

Shadows in the darkness, so far away from home
Standing all alone, noone there beside me
Shadows all around, so far away from home
I know I'm not alone, It seems we're lost in space and time
Shine on
Shine on now, and warm the tears we've shed through years
It's our prison, final reason for the freedom and the glory that we feel
Are you for real ?

Shine on, Rising Star
Diamond in the distance
Still you seem so far
Shine on, Rising Star
Forever light the darkness in our hearts
Rising Star, Rising Star
Shine on, Rising Star
Come on and shine for us
Shine on, shine forever more
Shine on,
Our survival
Rising Star, the last chance for us all
The only hope for our future and a home
For us all
For us all
Come on and shine, Rising Star

15. The Silence

When you're drowning,
when you're freezin',
when you're feeling cold
There's a light in the darkness
as the elder always told.
When the winter's coming closer
and the autumn's passing by,
Then the world will sink in slience
and I think we all should try.
Oh, I wanna live my life in a fairy tale
Where the end is always good and never sad.
Show me the way to another world
Where the sun is always shining in the and
And we fight back the tears, and we lose our fears,
Let the world remain in silence for a while
Sun in our minds in a world full of ice,
Let silence remain for a little while.

Somebody came and slammed the door,
took the feelin' away from our hearts.
And the horror took hold of a place
in our hearts filled with love.

What is left behind the ice,
behind the make up and the lies
Tell me what goes on inside our minds,
There is a hole in our sky,
getting bigger, growing wide
No more answer, but we hold the line
See and hear what we have done to us all,
we wanna be free more than anything,
Do you hear what I say to you?
We will make it through, the sun shall shine.

Hear the words we say and see the light of day
We never will be free until the sun is shining for us all
Carry on, carry on and make our dreams come true
And for a little while we stay together
Carry on, carry on, may all our lovin' stay
And for a little while we stay together, forever
Together, forever.

16. Heaven Or Hell

Where will I go now it's all over
Where will I be now all is said and done
Here comes the time, prepare for justice
Seems like my final journey has begun

Riding on the wind, there's only one place left to go
Take me to my afterlife, high up or down below

Heaven or Hell - where do we go when we are leaving
Heaven or Hell - whatever comes to set us free
Heaven or Hell - I've gone a long way and I see there's no wishing well
The choice is made, it's heaven or hell

I'm not the one who was expected
So I'll return and be from heaven sent
I'm gonna get myself elected
And now I wanna be the president - "Viva el Presidente"

Master of the damned I'll be the savior of you all
Take me as a holy god to save you from the fall

Heaven or Hell - where is my final destination
Heaven or Hell - whatever comes to set us free
Heaven or Hell - we've gone a long way and we'll see there is no wishing
well
The choice is made, it's heaven or hell

Master of the damned, I'll be the savior of you all
I'm your revelation I'm a walking miracle

Heaven or Hell - what is our final destination
Heaven or Hell - where do we go from here
Heaven or Hell - we've gone a long way and we see there is no wishing well
The choice is made, it's heaven or hell

Heaven or hell
It's heaven or hell
There's no wishing well
It's heaven or hell

17. Guardian Of Mankind

For no one to see for no one to hear
They fight for our souls without any fear
When injustice done they open their gates
To maintain balance between good and bad

And the winds of freedom blow they vanish into haze
The mighty shadow turns away and wisdom conquers hate

The guardians of Mankind
Are losin' their faith
'Cause malice and falseness
Spread over the human race
The guardians of mankind
Won't shelter our souls
The rulers of darkness
Will soon gain control

Don't try to deceive them don't try to play false
'Cause losing their favour will be the end of shelter

And as the winds of freedom blow they vanish into haze
The mighty shadow turns away and wisdom conquers hate

The guardians of Mankind

[ Solo Henjo, Both, Henjo ]

And as the winds of freedom blow they vanish into haze
The mighty shadow turns away and wisdom conquers hate

The guardians of Mankind
Are losin' their faith
'Cause malice and falseness
Spread over the human race
If guardians of mankind
Won't shelter our souls
The rulers of darkness
Will soon gain control

18. New World Order

On wings of tomorrow we're coming to fly
Erasing the sorrow and this is the place where you die
We're shaking the chains off the world of today
We're coming to get you no matter what you're gonna say

This is the time of the ending
It's the dawn of a new world order
This is a new beginning
Where a new world shall arise, we scream
On the wings of yesterday you're gonna die
And you know it's gonna be - we're screaming

This is illumination - we are
We are illuminates - beware
This is illumination - we are
We are illuminates

We live inside society, our presence is unknown
We plot and we manipulate you to which way to go
Illumination comes across the world to bring an end
Intimidating silent force that puts us in command

This is the dawn of the ending
It's the time of a new world order
This is a new beginning
Where a new world shall arise, we scream
On the wings of yesterday you're gonna die
And we know it's gonna be - forever

This is illumination - We are
We are illuminates - Beware
This is illumination - We are
We are illuminates

In the darkness, we shall await
Prepare for changes, to seal your fate

This is illumination - We are
We are illuminates - Beware
This is illumination - We are
We are illuminates

19. I Want Out

[JAPANESE BONUS TRACK]

[Originally performed by HELLOWEEN]

From our lives' beginning on
we are pushed in little forms
no one asks us how we like to be
in school they teach you what to think
but everyone says different things
but they're all convinced that
they're the ones to see

[Bridge:]
So they keep talking and they never stop
and at a certain point you give it up
so the only thing that's left to think is this

[Chorus:]
I want out--to live my life alone
I want out--leave me be
I want out--to do things on my own
I want out--to live my life and to be free

People tell me A and B
they tell me how I have to see
things that I have seen already clear
so they push me then from side to side
they're pushing me from black to white
they're pushing 'til there's nothing more to hear

[Bridge:]
But don't push me to the maximum
shut your mouth and take it home
'cause I decide the way things gonna be

[Chorus:]
I want out--to live my life alone
I want out--leave me be
I want out--to do things on my own
I want out--to live my life and to be free

There's a million ways to see the things in life
a million ways to be the fool
in the end of it, none of us is right
sometimes we need to be alone

[Solo: Kai/Both]

No no no, leave me alone

[Chorus:]
I want out--to live my life alone
I want out--leave me be
I want out--to do things on my own
I want out--to live my life and to be free

1. My Temple

[Music by: Hansen / Lyrics by: Hansen]

Watch out the hangmen come
And there is no point in running
Keep cool the damage is done
You`ve got another thing coming
I can`t believe your world... I`d rather have it my way
Go face reality... I`ll never want it your way

No... nothing can save you
You`re gonna be dead!
Die... `cause I only hate you
All words have been said!

So much you wanna say
It`s hidden in your head
No more that I can take
I feel like being had
Your silly words will fade away... you`ve got no future
You cannot feel the pain inside... you little monster

[Chorus]
Come on down into my temple for the earth
Sit in silence and you will hear the words
And if you stay, you`ll never leave, you`ll never walk alone
The saviour of the universe is home

Waiting for tomorrow when the sorrows disappear
Look into the future from the center of my fears
Holy hell please save me from the beast from down below
Shelter me from evil and the darkness of the cold... yeah

Evil comes
Evil`s done

Waiting for tomorrow the saviour never comes
To save us from the future
The world has come undone... yeah

Evil comes... your way
Evil`s done... always... yeah

[Chorus]
Come on down into my temple for the earth
Sit in silence and you will hear the words
And if you stay, you`ll never leave, you`ll never walk alone
The saviour of the universe is home
