Peace

Memories unfold
Search the past to
Never growing old
Once we had peace
Such peace

Seasons come and go
Every man's a child to someone
Learning as we grow
Love and you'll live
Forgive

Conquest transgress
Purgatory
Lift us onward
Trust in glory

 Conquest

The night of reckoning
The days of old
His might is menacing
Sword and shield made of gold

Conquest and fire
The age of desire
When man will be free once more
Like rays from the sun
That heal everyone
Living for evermore

Bow down in reverence
Keep faith be true
Give thans for armistice
Be brave he'll come through

Sword and shield of gold
The mighty stand alone

Conquest and fire
The age of desire
When man will be free once more
Like rays from the sun
That heal everyone
Living for evermore

Conquest and fire
We will be strong
Days of desire
Making us stronger

Revenge and reckoning
Beware of this god
His might is menacing
Shield made of gold

Conquest and fire
The age of desire
When man will be free once more
Like rays from the sun
That heal everyone
Living for evermore

Conquest and fire
We will be strong
Days of desire
Making us stronger

Conquest attest
Stands triumphant
Heaven sent - be vigilant
Don't relinquish

Lost Love

I carry with me all the love that you give
You bought me serenity - a reason to live
Our life is a journey
That we took from the start
We made all these memories together

I can remember
The first time that we met
The feelings you gave to me - I'll never forget
I knew from that moment
When our love first began

We'd last till the end of time forever

And though there were bad times
We stood by each other
And did what we had to get through

You live in my heart - when you're far away
I see you in dreams - where I hear you say
I'm with your forever in true love
By light of the day - and stars above

And when there were bad times
We held on each other
To face what we had to get through

You live in my heart - when you're far away
I see you in dreams - where I hear you say
Look up to heaven - and I'll be there
Still guiding my heart
Still saying our prayer

Persecution

We're watching you
Nowhere to hide
Obey the holy law
Repent for your sins
There is but one God

Against their holy laws
I'll do whatever it takes
I've met their kind before
We're martyrs burned at their stake

They try to dominate
I'll be the thorn in their side
They underestimate
The willpower feeding my pride

Under the hand of persecution
Defy the institution

Their words just crucify
Condemning truth that I seek
They cannot justify
The pain, the havoc they wreak

I never will conform
My faith is deep to the core
I stand against reform
I'll never kneel down before

Under the hand of persecution
Defy the institution

With raised fists of fire
As they conspire
I'll be defiant
Against the alliance

They will not eradicate me
Break my will or suffocate me
I will subjugate the hate
That they breed

As the church interrogates
I cannot see they supplicate me
Execute and ridicule
We're all freed

I never will conform
My faith is deep to the core
I stand against reform
I'll never kneel down before

The hand of persecution
Defy the instituation

Under the hand of persecution
Defy the institution

Persecute
You defy

Execute crucify
Crucify

Persecute
You defy

Restitute crucify
Crucify

Persecute
You defy

Execute crucify
Crucify

Persecute
You defy

Crucify
You survive

 Solitude

[ACT 2 begins]

Once upon a time in ancient centuries

 Exiled

I must leave from fear they send
Journey with the dawn
As I take the winding road
Bow my head forlorn
Now I must go

I'm banished in exile
I wander this land
No faith in the future
I'm in their command

Cross over the mountains
and valleys so wide
I walk as I wonder
With hope by my side

All my friends are far away
How I miss my home
Where do I find peace of mind
Guide me as I roam
I cry for you

I'm banished in exile
To meet their demand
Rejected messiah
They don't understand

I'm searching for something
That's lost in my heart
God knows I'm a sinner
I'm falling apart

If this is my destiny
I've got to believe
The passion inside me
Has left me to bleed

I'm banished in exile
I wander this land
No faith in the future
I'm in their command

Cross over the mountains
And valleys so wide
I walk as I wonder
With hope by my side

If this is my destiny
I've got to believe
This passion inside of me
Has left me to bleed

Alone

They say we are fools
We say look at you
Long ago we were just a few
Still say we don't need you

[Chorus:]
We don't wanna be alone, we said all along, we just wanna be left alone
We don't wanna be alone, we said all along, we just wanna be left alone

Think that we must have lost our way
Running from the blaze, you were wrong
Chose our course, counted off the days
Enduring inner rage, we got strong

[Chorus]

You deny everything that's good
Acting as you would with your shame
So we turned and left you all behind
We don't need your kind, you're to blame

[Chorus]

In the years to come you'll hear my name
When darkness falls on Judgment Day

They say we are fools
We say look at you
Long ago we were just a few
Still we say we don't need you
Think that we must have lost our way
Running from the blaze, you were wrong
We chose our course, counted off the days
Enduring inner rage, we got strong

[Chorus x2]

 Shadows In The Flame

As the day begins to fade
Eventide's when I'm afraid
I'll never know if you appear
But my senses say you're near

In the dark when I write
Telling fortunes for my life
I'm sitting here by candle flame
When will you arrive again

 Visions

Anvils ignite
Once again
I watch them dance around the plain

Sparks start to fly
I can't speak
From seeing answers that I seek

Shapes start to form
As I stare
The shadows taunt as if to dare

Ghostly embrace takes my heart
Now I surrender and it starts

[Chorus:]
Visions in the night
Show me what is right
Help me through the maze
...of mystery
I would sell my soul
If only I could know
What the future holds
And what will be

Slowly my hand (my hand)
Turns the page (the page)
It never ceases to amaze

Fill me with hope (with hope)
If you can (fill me with hope)
I will become a better man

[Chorus]

Visions come
Into my mind
Foretell the future
Of mankind

Only time will prove that I'm right
Will my words come true (will my words come true)
I can't deny the gift of foresight (I can't deny)
There's nothing I can do

[Chorus 2x]

Hope

Hope in my heart
As a new day has dawned
I see your light on the wings of a dove
Lifting me up as the dark clouds retreat
Courage transcends and you make me complete
Hope in my heart with the advent of spring
I am reborn with the love that you bring

(Help me before we dread it)
