Loomed the abbey as we journeyed through the night
And wended our way towards the light

As we entered through the gates we heard the silent calls
There was something evil that lurked within these walls
As I relive my days in this godforsaken place
All that appears before me now is her face

Another man died today like the ones before
With blackened tongue and blackened finger
Within the labyrinth behind the bolted door
Lies the answer to our mystery

Heed the book that kills, it holds an evil power
Those who turn the leaves wither like a flower
Well guarded by the seer inside the abbey tower
For laughter kills the fear within

The abbey of synn

We found the secret path that led us here to you
Give us the deadly book of laughter
Too many men have died for a teaching of the few
Open up your heart, reveal the mystery

Heed the book that kills, it holds an evil power
Those who turn the leaves wither like a flower
Well guarded by the seer inside the abbey tower
For laughter kills the fear within

The abbey of synn

And then she came to me like a creature from the dawn
Enchanting as the moon, radiant as the sun
She took the boy in me and gave me back the man
With a force I could not withstand

The seer burned the abbey down and perished in the fire
We couldn't save the book, the flames were rising higher
So many died in vain for an ancient discipline
Laughter kills the fear within

The abbey of synn

Heed the book that kills, it holds an evil power
Those who turn the leaves wither like a flower
Well guarded by the seer inside the abbey tower
For laughter kills the fear within

The abbey of synn



The stranger from within



He's a stranger, I don't know where he's coming from
Is he a danger to me or just another man?
He knows magic or maybe he's a charlatan
Is it a sly trick he plays? Does he have a plan?

He said he came from a world beyond my dreams
From the depths of my mind
He said he'd burn like star and disappear
But leave his spirit behind

He's a stranger, a man with a destiny
A rearranger of fate, a changer of lives
They will erase him for they are all afraid of him
They're gonna trace him and then cause him to die

He said he'd cure me, I do not have to die
I hold my fate in my hands
He said he'd always be there everytime I'd cry
One day I would understand

He was a stranger, they shot him and now he's dead
I'm out of danger, he lives on inside my head

He said he came from a world beyond my dreams
From the depths of my mind
He said he'd burn like star and disappear
But leave his spirit behind

He said he'd cure me, I do not have to die
I hold my fate in my hands
He said he'd always be there everytime I'd cry
One day I would understand



Computer eyes



Lost in a world created by man
I can't recall how it all began
Tell me who am I?

Fictional stars in lost galaxies
Synthetic dreams and false memories
Is it all a lie?

There is no escape
There is no way out of here
I'm locked in this universe
The real world will disappear

Where fantasy dies
You will see our dreams

Material lies
Materialize
Computer eyes
Computerize

Virtual reality, computer override
Actual fantasy locked away inside
Am I no more than a program? An artificial dream
A river of electrons flowing with the stream

A parallel dimension, battle simulations
Mind over matter, brain stimulation
I don't know if I exist, I think therefore I am
Without emotions, I'm but a hologram

There's no escape
I'm locked in this universe
Where fantasy dies

Material lies
Computer eyes

There is no escape
There is no way out of here
I'm locked in this universe
The real world will disappear

Where fantasy dies
You will see our dreams

Material lies
Materialize
Computer eyes
Computerize



Beyond the last horizon



Ready for the enemy
Hungry for the battle
Fighting hard for victory
In the army of the king

Armed with shield and sword
We mounted our horses
Leaving on a sacred quest
On our way to fight the holy war

They attacked from different sides
Hard pressed with numbers
We could not even run nor hide
We had to stand and fight

Then I felt a blade of steel
Penetrate my armour
I did not dream, the pain was real
As I went down I knew my time had come

And then he rode into the night
Towards that eerie distant light
That seemed to charm him

Until he came to a road that disappeared
Beyond the last horizon

He knew there'd be no way back
Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity
And so he gathered all his strength
Not to descend into the valley of death

Into the valley of death

I opened up my weary eyes
The haze slowly lifted
The mighty roar of battlecries
Stopped ringing in my ears

I gazed upon a friendly face
He carried me to safety
I told him of this frightening place
And of my journey back from the other side

And then they rode into the night
Towards that eerie distant light
That seemed to charm him

Until he came to a road that disappeared
Beyond the last horizon

He knew there'd be no way back
Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity
And so he gathered all his strength
Not to descend into the valley of death

Into the valley of death

A force so seductive
And yet so destructive and cruel
I followed that road to the edge of eternity
I fought for my life for I had to survive the ordeal

Into the valley of death



Far side of the world



A black shadow is crawling like a deadly spider
We're all waiting in silence for the lonely rider

For he will lead the way
For he will save the town
We have to leave today
Before the moon is down

I'm haunted by dreams of a holy mission
I follow the signs of my magic vision

We have to dig a hole
And he will be our eyes
We have to reach a goal
Before the sun will rise

Journey to the far side of the world
No one will catch me when I fall
Follow the trail of fire
No one will hear me when I call

Journey to the far side of the world
A distant place a future time
We'll climb the tallest spire
I will raise the cross and the bells will chime

We'll pass over the river to the silver tower
Run before the clock strikes the final hour

He saw it in a dream
He knew he had to die
We never heard him scream
We never heard him cry

Journey to the far side of the world
Make them believe, the dream is true
Follow the trail of fire
The moon came down, my time is through

Journey to the far side of the world
This is the way it was meant to be
We'll climb the tallest spire
The shadow is gone, the town is free



Back on planet earth



I overheard the elders
Telling each other stories
About the days when they were young
Back on planet earth

I wish to learn the secrets
Of those who lived before me
So I program my computer
For a flight to planet earth

Blue skies over the oceans
Sail on the wind to the valley below
Rise high over the hills
To where the wildflowers grow

And I ride, ride, ride the waves of time
Fly, fly, fly beyond the sky

We've abandoned all emotions
Whether good or bad
Up here in this station
Far from planet earth

I can't tell if I'm happy
I don't know if I'm sad
But I do know I'd have been at home
Back on planet earth

Black clouds over the debris
Storm is raging over the land
No life left on this planet
Now you will understand

And I ride, ride, ride the waves of time
Fly, fly, fly beyond the sky

Blue skies over the oceans
Sail on the wind to the valley below
Rise high over the hills
To where the wildflowers grow



Forevermore



In a dusty room on a stormy night
Away from all the crowds
I rise above the clouds

Into a world once so bright
Where now the shadows fall
And a thousand voices call

Dream on forevermore
Our future's in your hands
Close your eyes
Close your eyes and fantasise

Only one boy whose heart is pure
Can save them from the curse
That's upon this universe

He's on a quest for the secret cure
Across the burning sand
To the edge of the fairy land

Dream on forevermore
Our future's in your hands
Close your eyes
Close your eyes and fantasise

This world was built upon human dreams
On hopes instead of fears
Now it slowly disappears

Scream as loud as you can scream
For the empress needs a name
Or nothing will remain

Dream on forevermore
Our future's in your hands
Close your eyes
Close your eyes and fantasise
