1.	Farewell to Fynndaria 01:50
2.	Phoenix Fire 03:53	lyrics
(verse 1) From ashes we rise, from shadow and flame We bring you damnation, from whence we came The fires of passion, the burning of lust... Ashes to ashes... dust to dust... (chorus) Burning higher, Phoenix fire (bridge) Seering talons, blazing wings Birds of fire, hear them sing (verse 2) Now we live again, the flames of rebirth We soar high above, and scorch the earth The guilty will burn, they cry and combust Ashes to ashes... dust to dust... (chorus) (bridge) (verse 3) So it's come to this, the end of days Our judgment is passed, with a searing blaze To shadow and flame, return we must Ashes to ashes... dust to dust... (chorus) (altered chorus outro) None are redeemed - Hear the choir of screams The guilty will pay for their wicked dreams The flames of desire - Light the funeral pyre We are burning higher - Feel the phoenix... FIRE
3.	Wendigo 03:39	lyrics
(verse 1) A winter harsh... as any remember This could be... our final December We hunt where brave men do not dare by spirit wolf and brother bear (verse 2) The ghost walks... so the old ones say Stalking men... who will be it's prey Though born a man it was cursed a beast For gorging the forbidden feast (chorus) WENDIGO! ... I heard the wind cry WENDIGO! (fear what you do not see) WENDIGO! ... I heard the wind cry WENDIGO! (It's coming for me) (verse 3) It's haunting us... riding on the breeze But we hold our ground... for we are the Cree We shout our might to the great unseen by totem hawk and wolverine
4.	Through Ravens Eyes 04:23	lyrics
(verse 1) My thought and my memory, show me all that you have seen As you flew above this world of ice, tell me where it is you’ve been Hugin, Munin, on wings as black as coal Show me, speak to me of thing that I don’t yet know (bridge 1) The future will be revealed to me Through raven’s eyes I see (chorus) When the winter falls over summer’s veil On the ship made out of dead men’s nails When the cockerel crows at the setting sun And the giants march on one by one When the life tree withers and the dragon knocks Shall come the twilight of the Gods, its Ragnarök (verse 2) In Midgard far below us where the mortals play The valkyries shall choose the ones, who made their mark this day (bridge 2) The fallen brave will dine with me Through raven’s eyes I see (chorus) (interlude spoken) What would I give to know… the unknown
5.	White Knight 05:10	lyrics
(verse 1) Legend tells of a girl so beautiful Eyes like emeralds and hair of flame Stolen late one night, locked so far away She became a pawn, in an age-old game (chorus 1) So who will save you? There's no white knight coming You're a princess in a tower Shame there's no white knight on his way (verse 2) Everyday she waited for her rescuer A hero in white, at last she would be saved But as time slipped by, she began to wonder What if her prince never came, would this place be her grave? (interlude) Oh what a fool I've been… in this prison I won't stay I refuse to die here, I won't wait another day Only I hold the parchment… only I hold the quill The waters rage within me, where once they were still (verse 3) Legend says that this girl so beautiful Rewrote her destiny, never was she the same And from that day forth, clad in armor of white Fires burned within her, the wicked feared her name (chorus 2) (x2) So who will save you? From the white knight coming You're a traitor and a coward Tremble for the white knight’s on her way Pray for the white knight is on her way...
6.	Hunter's Moon 05:04	lyrics
(verse 1) If you're driving all alone at night, on a long and dusty road Beware the sight of a woman in white, for she'll wanna take you home Under the moon, by the moonlight we will find her (verse 2) If you make a deal at the crossroads, you will have to pay the toll She will grant your heart's desire, but the price will be your soul Under the moon, we are guided by the moon Under the moon, by the light of a hunter's moon (chorus 1) Dead is dead but gone ain't gone The supernatural walk till dawn A war with hell is coming soon They must beware of the hunter's moon (verse 3) If by chance you ever come across, a man with yellow eyes He may tell you what you wanna hear, but he speaks only lies Under the moon, by the moonlight we revenge (chorus 2) Dead is dead but gone ain't gone The supernatural walk till dawn Dig the grave, and salt the bones Dancing flames reflect off the stones Bullets, blades and dead man's blood The black eyed ones flow like a flood A war with hell is coming soon They best beware... (interlude) Drawn in white, a symbol on the floor What they call a devil's trap, the bane of demon lore Hollow threats, it shouts through burning rage Panicking it longs, to be free of this cage So I read the words - and I say the spell And with a grin I send it on back to hell (verse 4) If you're born under a bad sign, and you play the demon's game Better watch your back when all hell breaks loose the world will drown in flames Under the moon, we fight and die under the moon Under the moon, all by the light of a hunter's moon (chorus 3) Dead is dead but gone ain't gone The supernatural walk till dawn Dig the grave, and salt the bones Dancing flames reflect off the stones Bullets, blades and dead man's blood The winged ones rain from above A war with heaven is coming soon They must beware of the hunter's moon
7.	Uncharted Skies 03:42
8.	Enchanted Exile 05:04	lyrics
(verse 1) In the land of eternal snow Where white roses grow We learn secrets of the well Things we never share or tell (verse 2) Soon they will learn the price For my hatred burns like ice The sentence for my crime ENCHANTED EXILE for all time (bridge) So I bid farewell to Zantropas, never more will I wander it’s halls of glass And my people they who did betray… I will find a way to make them pay (chorus) They may be dark… but I am darker They may be cold… but I am winter (verse 3) Banished to the fringe Where I become unhinged I find myself drawn to the east Where thunder roars like a beast (bridge) I hear whispers of what legends tell, of a relic hidden oh so well They say a man has found a golden crown… with such power I could raze them to the ground (vocal interlude 1) Hate (HATE), all I feel is hate Curse the book of fate Musing on what they took from me Mine (MINE), power will be mine Corrupt the pure divine And in the end they’ll beg for mercy (vocal interlude 2) Paid (PAID), a hefty price was paid On scales my soul was weighed They said my heart was black as pitch so Burn (BURN), I will see them burn Each will have their turn (BURN) And in the sky my wicked laughter
9.	Kingslayer 05:00	lyrics
(verse 1) Who was he, the man I was to be? No lion of the rock, was ever cast like me Vows profess, while seven oils bless The devil he may care, but I couldn’t less (bridge 1) And so an oath is shattered by the madness of a king And I’m stained by my finest act, while ice and fire sing (chorus) Oathbreaker… Kingslayer… (verse 2) No more lies, nothing to disguise The she-wolf came with questions, burning in her eyes Against my core, to her an oath I swore Though as I rose, my bucket spilled my honor on the floor (bridge 2) And so to mend was once was cleaved I felt the bitter sting And I clench this phantom fist of mine, while ice and fire sing (spoken) "So many vows they make you swear. Defend the king and keep his secrets. But honor thy father and defend the weak. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another.” ~ Tim Krikorian piano concerto no.1 in Db ~ (spoken) "There are no men like me… there’s only me." (verse 3) All men die, the Stranger doesn’t lie But what will they remember, when I’ve spent my final sigh Dark wings above, the raven or the dove Forever sullied by the stains, of things I did for love (chorus x4) Vow Taker… Kingslayer… Forsaker… Kingslayer… Wroth Waker… Kingslayer… Oathbreaker… Kingslayer…
10.	Bringer of the Horns 06:27	lyrics
(intro) Can you hear the music that the Night People play? A lament drifts off to distant shores, for the one who sailed away The Challis has been emptied… and the oath has been sworn We will Stand Up And Shout his name, for him we raise the horns! (verse 1) If you listen close at night, you can still hear the singing Dream Evil dreams, feel the fright, like a bell that won't stop ringing (verse 2) Where he came from we don't know, but he brought us ancient magic Secrets man lost long ago, like The Last In Line so tragic (bridge 1) And then the clouds did part - and a light warmed us all An eagle cried from high above - and we knew all would be well (chorus 1) He rode the wind and cast his spell Sang us songs of Heaven and Hell He traveled from where dragons dwell We will not forget the BRINGER… He sang of the past and of what will be Locked Up The Wolves and hid the key He mourned the lost Children Of The Sea We will not forget the BRINGER of the HORNS! (verse 3) Now his words are carved in rock, and his legend forged in metal But time was ticking on his clock, like a rose with wilting petals (bridge 2) And then the skies grew dark - and a cold wind chilled us all A swan froze in its lonely lake - and the tears began to fall (chorus 2) He Sailed with Fools that did depart Found the way to the Sacred Heart Showed us Rainbows were Better In The Dark We will not forget the BRINGER… Lord of the sun; Master Of The Moon He gave us voice, we sang the tune He left our shores far far too soon We will not forget the BRINGER... of the HORNS We will not forget We have but one regret... (outro) Past the Elf and the Rainbow bridge Over the Silver Mountain ridge FROM THERE HE BROUGHT THE HORNS He Killed The Dragon with just one blow Bested Knights and their Neon glow IN THE AIR HE HELD THE HORNS He reigned with kings and Gypsy queens He calls to us in Fever Dreams FOR HIM WE RAISE THE HORNS So many songs never will be sung Reminding us we all Die Young We will not forget the BRINGER… He'll ever be our guide - for legends never die
11.	Never After 05:36	lyrics
(verse 1) Soon there will be no more rhymes No more once upon a times (verse 2) Gods no longer shake the earth The phoenix spent it's last rebirth (bridge) So when you fall to sleep at night, just remember this… No coma was ever cured by true love’s first kiss (chorus 1) This misery is here to stay A bitter world devoid of laughter Still we push on day by day And we all live... never after... (verse 3) Oh the princess, she spends her final hour locked away, rotting in her tower This world will drown in fear and lies When a baby weeps... a fairy dies! (bridge) So when you fall to sleep at night, just remember this… No coma was ever cured by true love’s first kiss (chorus 2) Complacency is here to stay A bitter world devoid of laughter Still we push on day by day And we all live... never after... (Interlude) No wonder there where Alice went, No siren to sing one last lament The Tyrant King has won the day, and the merfolk all swam away No magic left in the world we know, The grim will reap but never sew As the light fades we strain to see, what might have been can never be
