1. Ballad Of The Knight
I feel cold when I'm next to you
I can't hear the Freedom Call
My spirit is living far from here
You are tying me to this life.
I don't know,
What Is freezing now my heart
Far away,
From the crowd I can survive!
I believe is all those things
That makes me dream
I am steering my own course
I'm at the wheel.
Next to the fire
I like thinking on my deeds
Overcoming fear to
Carry out my destiny.
[Chorus]
I sing this ballad
Because I'm one of the Knights
Who has escaped
From the chains of this dark world!
It's a misty day today
Your eyes can't see
You are falling into a trap
From which I've escaped.
I'm getting stronger
When the wind blows through my hair
Whispering the right way to
Keep on my own path.
2. Merlin The Wizard
feel my body
Full of joy and life
My spirit is strong
But this is not a human's one
I'm the last of the former holy man
So I must learn to use the magic...
That exists everywhere
All the secrets all the invocations
I will have to use.
I will find the old folk
'cause I have to know their
Hidden wisdom
If I want to win.
I am Merlin glorious and wise
I come from the land of the
Nymphs and fairies
That no one remembers now.
I keep alive the magic world
In the remembrance of
Mankind so it will never die.
I will go towards where
Someone called my name
Up to the wind
And is waiting for me.
While I ride Ileave behind
The beloved land where
I grew up but I know I will return.
Since I now know
I'll have to carry on
There is a great fate
Depending on my deeds
It's time to show
The secrets of the night
The hidden realm is starting to...
Reveal it's might In the wood
It's a force that never can be won
'cause it live in our minds
Reality, fantasy,
Where's the limit,
Where is the distance
Between these two real worlds.
It lives in the hearts
Of those who believe
It's fighting to regain
All the pride, all the majesty.
I feel the magic
Flowing from the trees
It's like a breeze that
Is surrounding this old wood
I am the last
Of the former holy man
I come from the land
Of the fairies and the nymphs.
3. Don't Be Afraid
Once I looked deep inside
Your pretty shinning eyes
Once I heard your sweet voice
And the words you told me.
A fire started to burn
In my spirit in my heart
In my eyes shone a light
'cause since then I smile again.
You caught me in your web
But I am not scared at all
I just want to be yours
Let me be your daily meal.
How I wish that our souls
Could be the same forever
How I wish that our hearts
Could bury the fears of the past.
Don't be afraid
All I want is giving you my love
Close your eyes
Sing with me this lovely song of Love.
Let's fly away up high
From here to paradise
The sky is glad to see
Both of us together.
Let's feel the magic wind
That will blow through our hair
Let's listen to its whisperings.
4. The Silent Mermaid
I am a mermaid in love with a man
So I was punished, my tongue was cut off
I can sing no more but I talk with tears
Pain fills my heart drown in fear.
I spend my time gazing at ships passing by
Looking for my beloved among the crew
I swim towards him 'till he looks at me
Hoping he will guess my desire.
[Chorus]
If I only could sing
I would have his heart
In my hand.
He would be caught
In the spell
Cast by my melody.
[Bridge]
(but) I'm a silent Mermaid
I'm mute forevermore
Even if I weep
I wont be heard.
I am eager to save from a wreck
My dear sailor to be close to him
In a tight embrace we will reach the shore
I will not let him leave me alone.
It's hard to remember how long I have been
Waiting for my lucky day to come
Though I have no voice
My lips hope to kiss
And my heart is filled
5. The Voice Of Saruman
Saruman, the betrayer
Will miss all the magic and the might
He's gone astray, he's in the sight
Of the dark lord.
He forgot the right way
'cause he yearned to be like a god
But now he cries.
But he will never lose
The gift he has in his voice
Which is something he will always use.
The words he will pronounce
Will seem full of wisdom
Who will resist their magic sound?
The voice of Saruman
Will bewitch those who hear
It sounds like the wind blowing the Sand.
There's a man with a staff
Walking a short way towards his end
Towards the realm
Under the blast
Of dragon fire.
That's the game of deceit
That the wizard's playing with no Trace
Of that old flame
That always burned
Inside of him.
The words... The voice...
There are no Gods around
Ready to appear when he is praying
They don't believe
In what he's doing
They won't be there.
Banished from everywhere
Up and down the Middle Earth he'll Roam
His glory end...
6. The Island Of The Dragon
The Island of the Dragon
ar away in time
A land of wonders existed
It was the centre of everything.
During ten thousand years
The Empire reigned on Earth.
This was the place
Where the dragons slept many Centuries
Until they were called to war.
An island in the ocean
Had all the magic power.
The Island of the Dragon
Its beauty was magnificent
Its people lived in great palaces
Made of silver and gold.
The Emperors of the Island
Made an alliance
With the Lords of Chaos.
Their Glory and Majesty
Came from their cruelty.
They enjoyed the public tortures
They inflicted to their enemies
They were their greatest pleasures.
For many millenniums
The Island's pride was absolute.
At last, the end of that age
Arrived to break the dominion
Of the Mighty Emperors.
The Nations under the Empire
Spread their flags to the wind.
They battled against the magic
Like true brave warriors
With the force of Truth.
They could conquer the Island
And their liberty.
7. Aurora Borealis
Like the steel cuts the cold
When I am far away
More and more I'm nearer
My own destiny.
This is the place where the light
Fills the sky with magic
And the sight of the night
Is the most sublime.
The fantastic purple flames
Live in the vast Northern lands
Burning our hearts with fire
Making our eyes shine.
Mystery makes me feel
More real than ever
When I am finally going
To my palace.
Made of ice, colossal,
Among the mountains
Everything is only mine
When I feel the power.
I have walked a long way
'cause I made a promise
And I know that the wind
Caught my desperate words.
Under the fire, on the ice,
Or in my last breath
I will pray for my soul
And for eternity.
8. Eternal Life
Once again I find
Myself wondering
Why are we here
What's the meaning of life?
Someone people say
This life is just a way
To a better one
In communion with God.
I'm prepared for what
I have to do
To live - To last.
Forever and ever
Like the
Whole creation - Infinite universe.
For mankind
Live in fear thinking that
We all shall die It's
Time to reach Neverland.
So I think that
I can be, if I want,
An eleven prince
In a forest of dryads.
I can go with
My own thoughts to the land
Of Avalon
Through the mist of the swamp.
I do not need
To be rich in this world
For I prefer
To keep my spirit free.
