Walking through heat and desert sand
High priest of the egyptian land
On his way to the land of snow
From his wand all the magic flows
The wand is glowing in the dark
Abaris show the way to man
Sparks and arrows of the sun
Penetrates the human mind
Sparks and arrows of the sun
Leave the groves of arcady
Take the wand across the sea
Leave the groves of arcady
(the) rune of eiwar is guiding you
A delphian forecast of what to do
Enter sanctum of upsala
Earthly foretaste of valhalla
The wand is glowing in the dark
Abaris show the way to man
Sparks and arrows of the sun
Penetrates the human mind
Sparks and arrows of the sun
Leave the groves of arcady
Take the wand across the sea
Leave the groves of arcady
I see divine abaris in the labyrinth
I hold the bow and arrow made of hidden runes

Heldrasil, O Heldrasil
Den dimholjda gudinnan Hel
i nio varldar styr.
Pa Gjallarbron, i alven Gjoll
de doda soker Dig.
Allt for manga infor Dig fortvivla,
O stora gudinna i Hel,
Dit s**** ar moder till tiden
hos Dig tager doden sin del.
Se nornorna spinna var trao,
vart ode styra de
Till Gnipahalan gar var fard
likt Balder da vi do.
Vi till Helheim likt Hermod ska resa
hos Doden vi finna vart guld,
nar Balder en gang kommer ater
fran Urtid, Verdandi och Skuld.
Nar Helgrinden ska oppna sig
da stiger solen upp
nu aterfodd ur vinterns djup
tillsammans med hoder.
Som en skugga fanns Loke hos Hoder
nar Balder blev dodad med list.
och alla forsvann ner till Helheim
med Misteltens magiska kvist.
Se Helgrinden som oppnar sig
och guden stiger upp
nu aterfodd ur vinterns djup
med solen som sitt svard.
Den fordolda gudinnan i Helheim
bedriver bed livet sitt spel.
Ditt s**** ar moder till tiden
O stora gudinna i Hel!

Hell was hurled down to the world of icein the beginning of time and there she created nine dark worlds. Thebright god Balder and the power of the sun descend into her mistyrealm, bu in the future Balder will be reborn and rise from the womb ofHel like the sun in the springtime.
HELHEIM
Deep into the wood, in the dark, there's a way
Follow this path and you'll meet a strange crowd
In the forest you will meet
Silhouettes of your dreams
Dancing on the path you walk
Things you have frightened
You now find so sweet
On the path of darkness
Your wishes become real
On the crossroad you will meet
What your heart desire
Take a glance upon the shadows
On you see your face in them
When you wake up your wish
You will sleep again
Part II: Hexentanz
Follow Via Nocturna and Luna
Join the dance of Hexentanz
And meet the Mephisto
Follow Via Nocturna and Luna
All this fauns and weird companions
Moonstruck witches and their demons
Follow the nightway and become one of us
So says the celebrants of the Hexentanz
They gather at Bro-cken, on hills and the seas
Dancing to the flut of pan until dawn
They will show you strange wordls of the night
land of the moonlight and of dark memories
Caress the lady who is leading the dance
Know her name is Lilith - the Queen of the night
She tell you secrets in the form of an owl
Open you inner passions and your desire
Here in the wilderness we are really free
To do our true will and to be like the beast
Some call us barbarians and we are pround of that
no passion is forbidden, no pleasure or pain
I can show you a paradise you've call a sin
We do our true will and call it Arcady
Via Nocturna, the path of Nahema
Via Nocturna, will lead you to Lilith and to Pan
In the deepest forest
In the deepest dark
You will find the fire
And this secret path
When you wake up you will believe it was a wonderful dream
And that you never will caress the lady of the night again
But you will at once when enter the Via Nocturna
Collect the blood of Kingu from the great old sea
And arrogate the primeval waters
Inside your veins the power of the demon flow
Have you ever searched for your descent?
Gaze into your soul, we are the children of the ancient ones
On the thin facade we are the kindred of the benign gods
Take up and read the tables of your destiny
They hang around the neck of Kingu
Prepare the war between gods deep inside your soul
You are the one to fight in this war!
March for war in your soul. Hail!
Demon Kingu rise, rise, rise from the void. Hail!
Kingu rules the horned dragons, Ugallu, fishmen,
Mushussu, umu, bulls, frogs, scorpions, dogs...Kingu rules the void!
Kingu is the blood of man drawn oof from this early war
In your veins you find the strength from the demon's heritage
Chaotic waters covered every part of earth
The old gods split it like a shellfish
But in the shells the blood of chaos still remain
Mother Habur suckle her children
March for war in your soul. Hail!
Demon Kingu rise, rise, rise from the void. Hail!
Kingu rules the horned dragons, Ugallu, fishmen,
Mushussu, umu, bulls, frogs, scorpions, dogs...Kingu rules the void!
Kingu is the blood of man drawn oof from this early war
In your veins you find the strength from the demon's heritage
Kingu, general of the host of chaos, fighting for Tiamat: Bearer of sky and earth
Kingu, the mighty masters rules eleven demons
Kingu, your blood is running inside the heart of mankind
The ancient demons, they will return...
The blood of Kingu... their open gate
I don’t know but
I think I maybe
Fallin’ for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should
Keep this to myself
Waiting ’til I
Know you better
I am trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I’m scared of what you’ll say
So I’m hiding what I’m feeling
But I’m tired of
Holding this inside my head
I’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’m fallin’ for you
As I’m standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It’s just you and me
I’m trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I’m scared of what you’ll say
So I’m hiding what I’m feeling
But I’m tired of
Holding this inside my head
I’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’m fallin’ for you
Oh I just can’t take it
My heart is racing
The emotions keep spinning out
I’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’m fallin’ for you
I can’t stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can’t hide it
I think I’m fallin’ for you (x2)
When you tell me that your truth
Will set me free
Don't believe you and I wish you'd let me be
From the cradle to the grave I feel your pain
But I'm trying to erase you from my brain
Carry me to the shore, carry me
I can't stand it anymore
I am blind but I can see you in my mind
I am blind but I can see you
I am blind
When you say you have a way to make me talk
I just wanna turn around and start to walk
Can't you see, don't want to be inside your mind
Set me free, leave me be, and make me blind
I'm dreaming awake,
My thoughts won't let me go
Feels like my mind has turned into my foe
The fear of tomorrow,
The fear of today
I'm trying to stay,
I'm trying to run away
My life is at stake,
My time is running out
Feels like I live my life in constant doubt
The fear of tomorrow,
The fear of today
I'm trying to stay,
I'm trying to run away
Each moment shall pass,
Will never return
Your fate is what you make of it
So seize your day
I will waste no more time
Leave my worries behind
I live for this moment alone
Let me tell you my friend,
All things come to an end
Forever is today
So don't delay
I will waste no more time,
Leave my worries behind
I live for this moment alone
Let me tell you my friend,
All things come to an end
Forever is today
So don't delay
I'm staring at the last rays of the sun,
The final night's begun
Shadows fall and hide the earth beneath them
My land has fallen deep into the hands
Of men with evil plans
Times have gone, when peace reigned over our lands
It's time to break these chains and head to freedom
It wont be long I swear to you
I will see I will be I'll be free
A new day will be dawning
Emancipation - I will break free
Determination - Just leave me be
Into the darkness I have been confined
The last one of my kind
Wayward soul still fighting to be set free
It's time to break these chains and head to freedom
It wont be long I swear to you
I will see I will be I'll be free
A new day will be dawning
Emancipation - I will break free
Determination - Just leave me be
Walking by the frozen lake
Silent snow in the air
Dreaming of the summer day
Caring me till I'm back
Winter skies live me alone
When I lose my way
Winter skies, you call me home
Winter skies live me alone
When I lose my way
Winter skies, you call me home
Bring me back when I am lost
Far from your embrace
Bring me silence, bring me trust
Your familiar face
Winter skies live me alone
When I lose my way
Northern star you call me home
Winter skies live me alone
When I lose my way
Northern star you call me home
Winter skies live me alone
When I lose my way
Northern land, you are my home
Winter skies live me alone
When I lose my way
Northern land, you are my home
Feel the night time growing nearer
From amidst the darkness I will start my flight
See the stars are shining clearer
Turn around before you're blinded by the light
I am made of burning flame, cast from coldest ice
There is nothing that can stop me
Now I ride above the sky, it cannot hold me back
I dive within the deepest darkest space
See I vanish in the light, you cannot find me there
No one can ever catch the falling star
Feel the heat is growing stronger
Everything that's in my way will be destroyed
See my journey's growing longer
For eternity I'm doomed within the void
I am made of burning flame, cast from coldest ice
There is nothing that can stop me
Now I ride above the sky, It cannot hold me back
I dive within the deepest darkest space
See I vanish in the light, you cannot find me there
No one can ever catch the falling star
Now I ride above the sky, It cannot hold me back
I dive within the deepest darkest space
See I vanish in the light, you cannot find me there
No one can ever catch the falling star
Finally the hills are without eyes
They are tired of painting a dead man's face red
With their own blood
They used to love having so much to lose
Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins
Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don't you see?
You chose the long road, but we'll be waiting
Bye, bye, beautiful!
Bye, bye, beautiful!
Jacob's ghost for the girl in white
Blindfold for the blind
Dead Siblings walking the dying earth
Noose around a choking heart
Eternity torn apart
So toll now the funeral bells
"No need to die to prove a lie"
Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don't you see?
You chose the long road, but we'll be waiting
It’s not the tree that forsakes the flower
But the flower that forsakes the tree
Someday I’ll learn to love these scars
Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words
...How blind can you be, don’t you see...(x3)
...that the gambler lost all he does not have...
Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the words said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don’t you see?
You chose the long road but we’ll be waiting
I don't know where I crossed the line
Was it something that I said
Or didn't say this time
And I don't know if it's me or you
But I can see the skies are changing
In all the shades of blue
And I don't know which way it's gonna go
If it's gonna be a rainy day
There's nothing we can do to make it change
We can pray for sunny weather
But that won't stop the rain
Feeling like you got no place to run
I can be your shelter 'til it's done
We can make this last forever
So please don't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain
I thought that time was on our side
I've put in far too many years
To let this pass us by
You see live is a crazy thing
There'll be good time and there'll be bad times
And everything in between
And I don't know which way it's gonna go
If it's gonna be a rainy day
There's nothing we can do to make it change
We can pray for sunny weather
But that won't stop the rain
Feeling like you got no place to run
I can be your shelter 'til it's done
We can make this last forever
So please don't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain
Oh ___
And finally what life's it's all about
Yeah I know you just can't stand it
When leaves don't grow your way (?)
But we've got no control over what happens anyway
If it's gonna be a rainy day
There's nothing we can do to make it change
We can pray for sunny weather
But that won't stop the rain
Feeling like you got no place to run
I can be your shelter 'til it's done
We can make this last forever
So please don't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Can't stop it, can't stop it, just can't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Let it fall, please don't stop the rain
In a darkened graveyard glows a light.
I see it shine there every night.
I know somewhere there's a hidden door.
There's an answer here we must explore.
No, I'll not submit to reason.
I'll sit and watch the seasons change.
We watch the children pray.
Save us God today,
Come whatever may.
We hold our fate and make the choice,
But we'll not listen to that still small voice.
Are we just crazy, out of our minds?
Wish this were someplace, another time.
We watch the children pray.
Save us God today,
Come whatever may.
And I know we're going
So far away from this wretched life we lead.
With open arms meet catastrophe,
In the valley of the damned we'll be.
And I know we're going
So far away from this wretched life we lead.
With open arms meet catastrophe,
In the valley of the damned we'll be.
We watch the children pray.
Save us God today,
Come whatever may.
And now to life we say goodbye.
I know the when but not the why.
Our nation's blood spills on the ground.
Our lives go out without a sound.
I ride alone, the wasteland that I cross
Will take another life, we'll take another loss
I feel a dry wind, dust is in my eyes
The artic cold at night, the earth, it tells me lies
God in heaven, my only friend
Will I live to see my journey's end?
As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed
I make a promise to myself: Never again
A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way
No more paradise, no more soothing rain
All the sacrifice, the pain is all the same
Still I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny
My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies
Will these lonely nights ever end?
Will I live to see my journey's end?
As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed
I make a promise to myself: Never again
A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way
The vultures that circle, cloud the empty sky,
Patiently waiting, they wait for me to die
Tortured and beaten, blistered by the sun
Forceful and heartless, have the badlands won?
Still I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny
My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies
As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed
I make a promise to myself: Never again
A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way
