The Iron Tree
07:25
|

I never existed
I’m only in your head
You have to obey me
Or you’re better off dead
I’m not made of matter
I’m not made of clay
I’m not made of substance
You can’t will me away
And in the dead of night you cry out wanting to escape
But I can read your mind and I am not going away
You can cover yourself in relics longing to be free
But protection doesn’t come to those who have already bowed to me
At the stroke of midnight you did summon me
You lit the fire from the iron tree
The recitation echoed through the land
You said the spell and then I grabbed your hand
And in the dead of night you cry out wanting to escape
But I can read your mind and I am not going away
You can cover yourself in relics longing to be free
But protection doesn’t come to those who have already bowed to me
And in the dead of night you cry out wanting to escape
But I can read your mind and I am not going away
You can cover yourself in relics longing to be free
But protection doesn’t come to those who have already bowed to me

The Wheel and the Stone
04:52
|

He who spins the wheel
Decides the fortune of man
We all face the wrath of time
We seek the stone that grants one wish
Time moves beyond us all
Destiny looms over us
If we don’t break this cycle
We’ll be stuck in it forever
Priestess rules us all
Sent me on this futile quest
On this journey I must go
Deemed to break the chains of fate
Luck is not on my side
The wheel just keeps on spinning
She has been marked by time
Given into earthly desires
Chariot descends down
Cold dusk cloaks the hills
Tower casts its shadow
Don’t look now, no turning back

Been searchin' ‘cross this world
For paths not crossed by man
Been waitin’ all this time
Now is the only chance
So you found a new door
This key unlocks the past
You’ll call upon the lost
With this spell you cast
The dead, now rise
Leave none behind
Someone has woken me
from such a shallow grave
Was in eternal dream
But here we are again
Parts of me are shattered
My soul beyond this plane
Time is moving back
It cannot be explained
So I rise to meet my fate
To protect the human race
Been called upon once more
To conquer the past
To fill the oath I swore
I must follow the path
Reality's unchanged
The world’s been set ablaze
To some it is a game
About whose side to blame
So I rise to meet my fate
To protect the human race
Before it is too late
I will clean the slate
Been searchin' ‘cross this world
For paths not crossed by man
Been waitin’ all this time
Now is the only chance
The future, clear ahead
Whispers of fated pain
You know what must be done
The dead will rise again
The dead, now rise

Met a man at the worst of times
Was just like me trying to make a fair living
Said, Do what I do, and you’ll have what I have
Come with me, I’ll be forgiving
Followed him with hope of food and wine
He said, You’ll be free once the moon shines
But it’s been dark nights since middle July
Something tells me we’ll be here a while
I’ve seen a child playing in the wheat fields
Looking at me with hollowed eyes
Says, You’ll be free when the nightingale sings
And only then will you behold the sight
A hawk keeps watch at the top of the dials
Says, You’ll be free when the wind changes sides
But windblown trees point ever-east
Something tells me we’ll be here a while

Uncharted Realms
07:20
|
|||
I passed through many worlds
Seen lands where all had perished
Where fields had turned to dust
I lost all that was cherished
Been searching for years
Moving in a strange direction
I once served the priestess
Great keeper of the crystal ball
Wove the tapestry of time,
Used her powers to trick us all
There must be a place for me
Within these uncharted realms
Once lived under Dark Tower
I was spellbound by purple fog
Powerless against the empire
Treated citizens like dogs
Every world I’ve traveled
Has been spoiled by humanity

Master of the Storm
07:34
|
|||
They put you in a casket
Lowered you into the ground
Returning you to sender
Go back to hell where you were found
The dirt will pile higher
The shovels hit the earth
The devil stands there waiting
He knows what you are worth
He says welcome home solider
We’ve seen what you have done
And now that you are home
You will burn, you will burn
There’s no where left to run
And the demons gather round your grave
Inspired by the mess you’ve made
They grind their claws and bear their fangs
Embracing a new wind of change
From the gallows you were born
To the dust you will return
You were the master of the storm
But you have a lot to learn
The underworld greets you
You don’t have much to say
You turned against your master
You knew that you would pay
Your evil is immortal
You thought that you could win
The devil stands there waiting
He knows where you have been
And the demons gather round your grave
Inspired by the mess you’ve made
They grind their claws and bear their fangs
Embracing a new wind of change
From the gallows you were born
To the dust you will return
You were the master of the storm
But you have a lot to learn

The Wish
11:40
|
|||
I had you for a moment
Fleeting, though it was
I asked you for just one wish
To leave it all behind
I really need this
I hope you come through
Only you can break this spell
To erase shadows of the past
Will my wish be used for good
We’ll soon be able to tell
Been waiting for this all of my life
You can tell, oh you can tell
By the look in my eyes
Will you show me the way
Give me what I desire
I reached out to touch you
You vanished in thin air
Come back to me
To lift this curse I bear
I really need this
I hope you come through
