Banish From Sanctuary
In deserts I was preaching
The hand of God was with me
Baptized 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 you famous son
(Lead: André)
I left the way of heaven
Or did you lead me from it
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.
(Solo: André/Lead: Marcus/André)
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: André)
I hear the hangman coming
I wait for execution

their lust for pain and terror

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

He's called Hawkmoon wearing a sign
black jewel in his head
he's the one who's forever there
he's born a thousend 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, fiend
I'll kmow your name
hear my laughter
Oblivion - who's blowing the horn
Oblivion - who's killing the gods
Ref.
(Solo: André)
Dark kingdom's lost now

changing of all planes
in the universe by a mad magican
to conquer the power of his magic
a place where truth waits must
be found Tanelorn
(Lead: André)
Damned for all Time - who am I ?
Once I've been called Erekse
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

Follow The Blind
Follow the Blind
Your journey, your last hope, it can begin
these passing dreams
were real no fantasy
there are more things than we know
come take my hand
(Solo: André)
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

cause you're a part
I'm another
strange my feelings
where am I here
for a short time
I remember I had been here

Ref.:
I'm alone, follow me !

Wandering around 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: André)
Before I thought I was dreaming
a strange voice whispers in my ears
you're the rat in the trap
return, or pain will come to you
Ref.: I'm alone .. ..No!
(Lead: André)
Hall Of The King
Alone I walk, hearing a voice
that's calling my name
no one should be here
take 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 so 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
Ref.:
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 sign
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 wy
(Lead: André)
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've left to rule the world
destructive are our minds
it's much too late

Fast To Madness
(Lead: André)
White hair and red eyes
he's holding the crown
the king of the island
Elric of Melnibon
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 thousend times
why don't we feel the signs
from the dragon king
(Lead: André)
Before the end of the fire his yourney starts
the eagle's spreading his wings
following his fate
he's ruled from anywhere
leads him to the truth
it's deep inside
Hail to the king
they'll bless tonight
he's the Saviour of our time
In a dark land far behind
no one knows it's name
there's a dark sword cold as ice
a blade created for him
Stormbringer cries
for the soul of everyone
Stormbringer crues
"The ending has begun"
Ref.:
Run fast to Madness
Forever I
Run fast to Madness
Leave him alone
(Solo: André)
Ref.
Destiny's calling him back to the island
And time ? time is standing still
time is not real
time is not real
Armed with weapons 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: André)
Hail to the king of Melnibon
he's the Saviour of our time
Mourning deserts rottingness
blade of dark will rise
gods devine
are hiding in the dark
needing Elric's hand
Stormbringer cries:
"I'm forged in darkest time"
Stormbringer cries:
"The ending has begun"

Beyond the Ice
Valhalla
High in the sky Where eagles fly
Morgray the dark Enters the throne
Open wide the gate, friend
The king will come
Blow the horn and praise
The highest Lord
Who'll bring the dawn
He's the new god
In the palace of steel
Persuade the fate of everyone
The chaos can begin
Let it in

So many Gods
We were the prisoners of our own fantasty
But now we are marching Against these Gods
I'm the wizard, I will change it all

Magic is in me
I'm the lost 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: (sung by Kai Hansen)
So many centuries
So many Gods
We were the prisoners of our own fantasty
But then we had nothing Who'll lead our life
No, no, we can't live Without Gods
Don´t break the circle
