THE CEREMONY

Instrumental

SOMEWHERE IN DREAMS

Through the old valley of golden trees

In the land of elves

A young boy hated the line that destiny

Wrote out on his race

He sighed for the fire

He sighed for the wind

And the rain on the face

Far away from kingdom lit by the blaze

Lost in a strange place

Somewhere in dreams there is a way

Vast towers and gardens

Somewhwere in dreams there is a bay

Full of fantasy

Dragons in my dreams

Look for the glory

In the time´s stream

I just can flee

Dragons in my dreams

Tell us the story

Where the sunset beams

I will be free

And he woke one morning in elves´ land

His heart was in chains

And the king of the elves couldn´t understand

Believed him insane

But every night his soul wished to race

Throught the seven seas

Watching the stars in the deep space

Out of his agony

In the white land of dreams there is a way

High mountain and forests

Words on the wind that sweetly says

Full of fantasy

CHORUS

MAID OF ORLEANS

I was born in france, called the "Maid of Orleans"

Led by the voices of the saints

I went to the court dressed in men´s clothes

To save my people from the yoke

I was given troops to destroy the english roots

And to crown the dauphin at reims

I´m not a man searching the glory

I´m just the hand chosen to fight

It´s a long way to our freedom

I was betrayed. I´m burning at the stake

My own blood sold me in the battlefield

Charles the king made no attemps to save me

I won´t be free till the day of my death

The pyre is light. I see the end

CHORUS

I´d rather die than live chained in this cell

I hold to what i have already said

I won´t be free till the day of my death

The pyre is light. I see the end

CHORUS

BELLS OF NOTRE DAME

Born in a sorry cot, left on the stairs of the cold stone;

Damned to be scorned, in darkness, damned to be alone;

Taken by the church, his soul will be slave of God;

In the belfry´s beauty is his figure something odd.

We see the hunchback in Notre Dame

Dancing on the tallest towers

Arcades and spires, filling his heart,

Deep like the choir, fine like the art

Is the place my cell, is it?

Is God´s home my hell?

Oh, my body prisions my poor soul,

Untill i toll!

I am grim, full of gloom

In my dim gothic tomb

But the bells in my heart chime for ever

With the ding that belongs

To the king of their songs

I´m the sound of Notre Dame

In the wheel of life he is a horror for the crowd,

When will be the time he´ll see the sun between the clouds?

Looking at the bells he think about his tragic fate

Wants to be a rock or metal like his soulless mates

We hear the hunchback in Notre Dame

Crying on the tallest towers

Gargoyles and columns, his relity;

Chants wich are solemn, his agony

Is the place my cell, is it?

Is God´s home my hell?

Oh, my body imprisons my poor soul

Until i toll!

CHORUS

SILVER LAKE

Along the river of fantasy we´ll get to a place

Which they want to see. Across the valley of illusion

We´ll have to climb the mountains of confusion

And change all the sings without breaking our union

The legend tells me that in this place

The ones who immerse in the Lake

Inmortality will find. Never ever die

Run across the seas, find the brightness in the mist

Following the lane, you will reach the silver lake

Our journey is hard and the lake is far

We will never fall, in the strength we hold

-bis-

Maybe we´ll never dream in this endless time

You will never win if for your goals you don´t fight

Although we´re lost in the forest of sorrow

We´ll try hard to cross the dry dune of the death

The legend tells me that in this place

The ones who immerse in the lake

inmortality will find. Never ever die

Run across the seas, find the brightness in the mist

Following the lane, you will reach the silver lake

CHORUS

Our journey is hard and the lake is far

We will never fall, in the strenght we hold

-bis-

MORTAL SIN

Play the drums of heaven, flee from here to a remote land

The scourge of your people threatens to destroy the man

When the swords plunge into your souls, you will rest in peace

Now i want to pass my sentence on your Holy Priest

Save you from evil purify your hearts

It is high time you start to depart

Oh lord! Nobody is blameless, thy will be done

My god! Nobady is safe from the rage of your son

Your wounds are bleeding for the unspeakable sins

How long have you been keeping the Holy Keys?

The light of the sun is suddenly ebbing away

The earth will be embraced by the flames in this day

Even the most gallant of my heirs among the men

Will be terrified of the beginning of the end

Oh lord! Nobody is blameless, thy will be done

My god! Nobady is safe from the rage of your son

Your wounds are bleeding for the unspeakable sins

How long are you praying for me?

You will know that it´s me when i turn my back on you

I will put the bodys of your sons inside their tombs

I will throw your rotten bones into a sea of lies

My black soul will be your curse for the rest of the lives

Oh lord! Nobody is blameless, thy will be done

My god! Nobody is safe from the rage of your son

Your wounds are bleeding for the unspeakable sins

How long have your been keeping the Holy Keys?

THE SOUND OF THE BLADE

Lowering clouds in the sky aglow

Darken my shield of victory

Is my fate doomed to hell on earth?

A shift in the wind guides me to to home

I stare in the mirror now

Who is that under my bloody mail?

I burn my lance and i kneel on this field

I rend the air with my old sword

I commend my soul to God

I´m fatally hurt but not by a knight

When i hear the sound of the blade

I recall all the blood shed in vain

I burn my lance and i knell on this field

I rend the air with my old sword

I commend my soul...

Wherever i turn my eyes i only see the lives

I shattered and they´ll never find the path of the sun

Wherever I turn my head i only see the dead

I left behind, they´ll never find the path of the sun

BEYOND THE FIRE

I see the eyes of the darknee, beyond the fire

Where the starts seem to be crying

In this green valley, i let go out my desire

For some peace and quiet I´m dying

My song is strong over the gale

Like a nightfall rending the air

Cloaked in the light of the blaze, i am waiting

For the return if my fate

I never try to find and nothing makes me cry

Where i could spend my life

By the sea, in my sleep, i can breathe the cold wind

And this frozen wind recalls me that i have never dreamed

I still can´t awake. There´s no sunm there´s no day

Pierced by the lance of the pain... I´m not afraid!

I feel like a solitary desert swept by the wind

Here, sweet voices whisper me

Everithing is still the same in my dreams

I don´t want to fall asleep

My song is strong over the gale

Like a nightfall rending the air

Cloaked in the veil of the night, i´m lying

I sense the end in my mind

I never try to find and nothing makes me cry

Where i could spend my life

CHORUS

Cloaked in the light of the blaze, i am waiting

For the return of my fate

I never try to find and nothing makes me cry

Where i could spend my life

CHORUS

QUEST FOR THE ETERNAL FAME

Quest for the eternal fame

Which gets the men inmortal

Glory four our names

Gained in the battle by knight that legend will acclaim

We don´t mind the sacrifice, it´s a low price

For being in the heaven´s hall

Just once the paradise with loving eyes

When death makes its mournful call

Justice we must defend we´re the law´s lance

Our deeds and virtues hold a beatiful romance

But we can´t forget compassion´s our end

So we´ll have temperance

CHORUS

Love must be the guide keeping off pride

Humility leads us

In the quest four our inside as testified

By the angels of light

Honour and honesty fill our heart

In the middle of the battle fear is put apart

With the sound of blades´ steel our qualities

Make the war be an art

CHORUS

In the autumn´s wind

There´s a melody

Epic ballads that the bards sing

Rhymes that in the air

Want to manifest with glee

Valor comes from the king of kings

Sacrifium, Honestas, Compassio,

Virtus, Humilitas, Honor

Justice we must defend we´re the law´s lance

Our deeds and virtues hold a beatiful romance

But we can´t forget compassion´s our end

So we´ll have temperance

CHORUS

HAND IN HAND

A unique love rose from a unique hate

Two lovers were caught by their appalling fate

The enmity of their families made

The passion fade and the pain unquell

When dawn came, the city was covered by

A mantle of tragic sighs

The walls of the towers are hard to climb

They´re a place of death if you mention who you are

A thin ice covers my soul

My body is frozen and cold

The skies from blue turn to grey

All my desire carries no shame

I´ll spread my wings to hold you in my arms

Like daylight chasing the dark

No one can hear me, it´s the sound of the night

Tears in my hands. Only loneliness I´ll find

A thin ice covers my soul

My body is frozen and cold

The skies from blue turn to grey

All my desire carries no shame

Volver
