1. Intro




2. Welcome to Forever

If you could see behind the mask
Taste a little spirit from the past
And see what others failed to see
Then you could come and share your dreams with me

When time plays in the back of our minds
We’re so blind to all of the good things we’ll find

Welcome to now and forever
Come inside, you’re welcome in here
Welcome to now and forever
Close the door, there is nothing to fear in here

Don’t betray the things you love
They put you down but you can rise above
The meaning of the words are clear
My pretty ones, come closer so you hear

When time play in the back of our minds
We’re so blind to all of the good things we’ll find

Welcome to now and forever
Come inside, yes you’re welcome in here
Welcome to now and forever
Close the door, you have nothing to fear from me

Don’t let your dreams be scattered in the dust
Where all hope is gone
And memories are lying there like rust
If the devil takes your hand just scream

Welcome to now and forever
Come inside, yes you’re welcome in here
Welcome to now and forever
Close the door, there is nothing to fear in here
Welcome to now and forever




3. Wounded Land

There’s a silence you hear when your poor heart stops beating
I remember that sound from the days when I was young
I struggled for peace now I’m too tired to wander
This lands that was ours, now I can see that it’s gone

I called this land my home

Why did you come here? Why do you slay?
With love you could have all the answers

We Lost one thousand years
Lived through the Fire and Rain
Lived through the Fear and Shame
Lived through the Hurt and Pain
Now we’re lost forever in this Wounded Land
This Wounded Land

There’s a Song from the East that you will remember
Write the words down and follow the Eastern Star
You’re the Bringer of Death, Destroyer of Worlds
A mother lies weeping for all that she’s lost in this world

If I live one Thousand years
Lost for a thousand years
Lost in the Valley of Tears
Lost but we learn to survive
One day we’ll reclaim and heal this Wounded Land
Wounded Land
Wounded Land
Wounded Land

Lost for a thousand years
Lost in the Valley of Tears
Lost but we learned to survive
Now we Rise to take and heal this Wounded Land
This Wounded Land
This Wounded Land
This Wounded Land




4. Future Rising

Thought I saw my future rising
I watched your eyes turned cold
I lost my faith in magic and through this world I walk alone
There’s a trick of the light, sweet call on the wind
My Master of Pain and Illusion walks in

Spirit of light... Points a finger
Spirit of light... comes to save us to
The Temple of Fools
The Tower of Sin
Spirit of light... Points a finger
Spirit of light... comes to save us to
The Temple of Fools
The Tower of Sin

Through the long dark days I wonder
No stars to light my way back home
I found no trace of angels
I curse the demons in my mind
There’s a trick of the light, sweet call on the wind
My Master of Pain and Illusion walks in

Spirit of light... Points a finger
Spirit of light... comes to save us to
The Temple of Fools
The Tower of Sin
Spirit of light... Points a finger
Spirit of light... comes to save us to
The Temple of Fools
Where we’ll all meet again in the end

Spirit of light... Points a finger
Spirit of light... comes to save us to
The Temple of Fools
The Tower of Sin
Spirit of light... Points a finger
Spirit of light... comes to save us to
The Temple of Fools
Where we’ll all meet again in the end




5. Passion to Warfare

Understanding, trying to make sense of it all
I throw my hand in, I wasn’t prepared for the fall

Sleep in despair with the cruel words we have strewn
Sleep in the knowledge you bring about my ruin

From passion to warfare my time is now at hand
Lost in the madness of what was once our love

Can you remember the night when we crossed on the stairs
In that moment the answer to all of my prayers

How well you fooled me with whispers in the night
So careless I fell for this love that wasn’t right

From passion to warfare my time is now at hand
I’m so lost in the madness of what was once our love

It was only love
It was only love
But I can still feel the pain all night
And I cry alone

From passion to warfare my time is now at hand
I’m lost in the madness of what was once our love
From passion to warfare my time is now at hand




6. 21st Century Man

One world, caught up in the middle
How do you know who to belive
One truth, it must be out there somewhere
Can we find it?

Breakdown in communication
Information overload
We’re lost, forever seeking answers
What’s the question?

Do you believe in Heaven?
Do you believe in Hell?
If you open your eyes
Then you’ll become a 21st century man
That’s what I am

Outside, messiahs by the dozen
Showing us the light and the way
Control, for keeping down the masses
Don’t believe it

The walls of freedom start to crumble
All they do is lie to your face
The world is screaming out as one
“Not in my name”

Still believe in Heaven?
Still believe in Hell?
Open your eyes
Then you’ll become a 21st century man

Do you believe in Heaven?
Do you believe in Hell?
If you open your eyes
Then you’ll become a 21st century man
That’s what I am

Living, living
Living in the 21st century




7. House of Nevermore

There was a time when I knew we’d be lonely
No last kiss then we had to move away
We had our chance and we burned in the starlight
Then our song was carried on the wind

I can still remember, I can still see your face from before
Always remember, some love leads to the House of Nevermore

Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me
With your eyes as black as a moonless night
Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me
You carried my cross and I let you down
Let you down
Let you down

There was a time when I called you my lover
That time has passsed and I won’t see you anymore
I keep the pain of the night far behind me
Another road to the House of Nevermore

I still remember the curse and the sting of your kiss
Don’t cry for mercy, you know that’s one thing I’l never give
I will never giver

Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me
With your eyes as black as a moonless night
Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me
Nail me to your cross and let me cry

Always remember, some love leads to the House of Nevermore

Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me
With your eyes as black as a moonless night
Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me
You carried my cross and I let you down
I let you down
Let you down

If I take the road to the House of Nevermore
Who will be waiting to open up the door
I fall asleep in the House of Nevermore
If I should wake, will I find the door?




8. When the Hammer Falls

Mother Mary walk beside me to the waters edge
A kiss has brought my world down
Pray the living God won’t find us, drinking with his friend
All we need we’ll find here

My world has come undone, I’ve done my best
My world’s a crazy Sunday, you’ll find there’s nothing left

When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls

Judas screams and darkness turns the day into night
See your dream has ended much too soon

My world has come undone, did I pass the test
My world’s a crazy Sunday, there’ll be nothing left

When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls

I saw the horizon, the shame and the pitiful greed
Where the power corrupts all we see
You sent me a light for the world, now it’s all going wrong
And everyone looks to the East to see the Son

Don’t cry for holiness, you can’t bare the pain
My world has come undone, there will be nothing left

When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls




9. Some People Fly

I saw an angel, who lost her wings today
A delicate whisper, a symphony for her aching beauty
Naked and frightened, I watch her crawl away
She may have touched the face of god and found she could not stay
So bitter and twisted, a purely human stain
A gentle hand to brush away the tears of crushed frustration

Oh no, they build you up just to watch you stumble
Oh Destiny

‘Cause some people fly
Fly high in wings of Fortune
Don’t you cry, a change is in the wind
You fly, fly high on wings of fortune
Don’t deny, a change is gonna come
You fly

You tasted the poison, from the cup of life
Not all you wanted, not at all the things you hoped for
So live with the madness, live without the fear
Supestition is for those who can’t control their own fate

Oh no, they build you up just to watch you stumble
Oh Destiny

‘Cause some people fly
Fly high in wings of Fortune
Don’t you cry, a change is in the wind
You fly, fly high on wings of fortune
Don’t deny, a change is gonna come
You fly

You say love will last forever
But it won’t, but it won’t, but it won’t

Oh no, they build you up just to watch you stumble
Oh Destiny

‘Cause some people fly
Fly high in wings of Fortune
Don’t you cry, a change is in the wind
You fly, fly high on wings of fortune
Don’t deny, a change is gonna come
You fly
You fly
You fly




10. Once Upon Our Yesterdays

All is lost and nothing won
Love is gone and the suffering has just begun
In between what might have been
Love was an illusion when it drew me in

What was real in the heat of the night
Leaves me cold in the first light of morning
To my shame I told another lie
All that’s left is the haunting

And the rain falls like mist on the chances I missed
It was on a night like this, when she sold me my first kiss
When she sold me my first kiss
Once upon our yesterdays

As she spoke fire danced in her eyes
Burned my hope with the heat of this nightmare
When we walked, she told of our time
Nothing left but the wanting

Still the rain falls like mist, on the lover I’ve kissed
It was on a night like this, when she sold me my first kiss
When she sold me my first kiss
Once upon our yesterdays
Yesterdays
Once upon our yesterdays
Yesterdays
Once upon our yesterdays

It was on a night like this, close your eyes and dream
And the rain falls like mist, on the chances we missed
It was on a night like this, when you sold me my first kiss

Once upon our yesterdays
Yesterdays
Once upon our yesterdays
Once upon our yesterdays
Never forever, only in your dreams
Never forever, I remember the kiss, I remember a night like this
Yesterdays
