1. Intro




2. Call of the Wicked

Out in the cold, ahead in the dark
A lamp is flickering bright
Hungry and tired you're wandering around
Lonely through the night

Greedy looks cling to your body
Fever's rising in your blood

[Chorus:]
Call of the Wicked, oh
Call of the Wicked, facing the evil eye
Call of the Wicked, oh
Call of the Wicked

Secret desires, the dreams of the past
Are promised to come true
The touch of the sin is tasting so sweet
Hear it calling you

If you like to play with fire
Never ever get too close

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Chorus]




3. Emerald Eye

We've sailed across the ocean, through the storm and rain
We've come to find the jewel, we believe it was not in vain
Through dusty plains and deserts, we have searched so long
We feel the quest will end in the cold of this tropic dawn

Look the island is in sight, veiled in mist and golden light
Row the boat, let's go ashore, row more and more

[Chorus:]
The emerald eye, crystal fire's power takes me high
The emerald eye, like a torch in the night
Turning darkness to light, I'm reaching out for the sky
The emerald eye

Eternal youth and fortune, so the legends tell
Will be the finder's pay, let us start digging at a spell
Since forty hours we're working, without sleep and rest
But suddenly our spades strike the planks of a wooden chest

Pick the padlock, break the seal, let me be the first to feel
The almighty crystal stone, I wanna touch it alone

[Chorus]

[Solo]

It is mine!

(The emerald eye) Storm and rain, now I know--I know it was not in vain
(The emerald eye) Crystal stone, I'm the one to rule--all alone
(The emerald eye) I will fight, get away or my bullet takes your life
(The emerald eye) I'm divine, it is mine!




4. Stronger Than Heaven

Mandrakes, three black feathers
(Mandrakes, three black feathers)
Dried up toads and rats
(Dried up toads and rats)
Spiders, human leather
(Spiders, human leather)
Eyes and wings of bats
(Eyes and wings of bats)

It's been a long way
But now you are here
We wish you welcome, never fear
Glowing cauldrons
Burning hot haze
Turning the atmosphere into a maze

When the night is falling
When the parson locks the door
When the shadow's calling
Our force is growing more and more

[Chorus:]
Stronger than heaven
Meet the witch
When the night is young
Stronger than heaven
No chance to run
Stronger than heaven
Face the fire
Of the black cat's eye
Stronger than heaven
We'll burn the sky

One sip of potion
Makes you able to see
The realms of everlasting
Black Mystery
Sweet decoction, hotter than hell
Your throat’s still burning
You're under my spell

Move a little closer
Let me touch your feverish skin
Move a little closer
Feel the fire, taste the sin

[Chorus]

[Solo]

Mandrakes, three black feathers
Dried up toads and rats
Spiders, human leather
Eyes and wings of bats

[Chorus]




5. Tigers of the Sea

Message from the masthead: "Spanish galleon, straight ahead!"
Up the shrouds, hoist all the canvas
It is worth the plunder, coming from down under
Filled with spicery and treasures

Out on the sea, the power is ours
Spitting on order and law of the king
Banished we are, outlawed forever
We never care what tomorrow may bring

[Chorus:]
Tigers of the sea, chasing the gold of her Royal Majesty
Tigers of the sea, sentenced to death at the black gallows tree

All men to the cannons, let them shiver, make them dance
Casks of ruin for everyone, let's go
When the rigging's falling, boarding party's crawling
Up the rail, we will prevail

We never know the habits and fashion
Of England's and Netherlands’s nobility
We only know the king is no poor man
A few diamonds less won't make him weep

[Chorus]

[Solo]

Gentry, take care of your jewellery
Sire, beware of the tiger
Black pyre, sails on fire

[Chorus]




6. Dorian Gray




7. Guitar Solo




8. Russia's on Fire

Four hundred miles from Moscow, Beresina's the river's name
I'm longing for some warmness, scarlet cold runs in my veins
Each step's a dance with darkness on the edge of the icy jaw
I've seen my comrades falling killed by the winter desert's law

Every yard one victim, every inch is soaked with blood

[Chorus:]
Through the endless frozen land
Leaving back the Moscow brand
Frozen land, flaming brand, will this nightmare never end?
Russia's on fire

We've came to see our banner flying over the eastern crown
But there was no surrender, no one laid the sabre down

Taking up our quarters they set fire to the town

[Chorus]

[Solo]

Will I stand the torture, hunger, cannon balls and cold

[Chorus]




9. Trust in the Fire

You feel the metal power
The flame is burning at all hours
Hold on to, on to your dream
I want you to shout and scream

[Chorus:]
Oh - trust in the fire
When the night is cold
It will keep you warm
Oh - trust in the fire
The shadows of darkness
Can't do you no harm
So trust in the fire

Get up and stand together
And the heat will last forever
Believe me, you're not alone
Rock fever's bred in the bone

[Chorus]

[Solo]

Hold on to, on to your dream
I want you to shout and scream
Believe me, you're not alone
Rock fever's bred in the bone

[Chorus]




10. Cheyenne (Where the Eagles Retreat)

The sun is awaking, the fires glow down
The spirit has spoken, the token was found
Dance to the rhythm, the beat of the drum
Is shaking the mountain, the war-song is sung

Down on the barren plain, the dust clouds rise again
Just like the locusts they're raiding our land
Down on the road of thieves, we watch our enemies
Hate in our hearts and guns in our hands

[Chorus:]
As long the winds are free, the white man shall bleed
The Red Man's destiny is up where the eagles retreat
Up where the eagles retreat

They've broken the treaties, the papers were lies
With finery and whiskey, they've stolen our pride

Plundering our holy hills, the game was almost killed
Buffaloes' thunder will never return
Smoke signals rise and sail over the iron trail
Prior to the sunset the tables will turn

[Chorus]

[Solo]

Fast as the falcon we will ride down the hills
To the place of the holy fight,
Soldier Blue in the arrows' hail
Great spirit told us, we won't fail,
wreaking vengeance
On everyone who came and tried to make the Red Man run
Woe betide the flood of whites that turned our days
To deepest nights,
you tremble and you cry for help
When I draw my blade and take your scalp
Just before the set of sun the battle's won
The bloody work is done, Yeah

[Chorus]

Down on the barren plain, the killing starts again
Many have followed, too many to stand
Our tribes are doomed to death, just like the freedom's breath
Wires and stakes in the heart of our land

[Chorus]




11. Walpurgis Night

The time has come, the witches are ready tonight
On the hill, black Sabbath, evil rite
They are descending on magical broomsticks
Riding on he-goats through the night

[Chorus:]
Come nearer, come nearer
You can't resist their might
At Walpurgis night

All around you can smell a nasty, strange scent
They are making oils from the bodies of murdered infants
They're dancing 'round a hot, flickering fire
Mixing poison, singing cursed songs

[Chorus]

[Solo]

Warded feed are trembling the ground like and earthquake
They are making love, with broomsticks with rats and with snakes
Holding crazy orgies with the devil
Praying to the master of hell

[Chorus]
