BATTLE BEAST LYRICS

1. Circus of Doom

The lions are hungry
And filled with rage
Afraid and angry
Locked in a cage
(Ah, the circus is coming to town)

Bright colours and string lights
Shining in the heights
The sound of an old music box
A spooky melody that never stops
(Ah, the circus is coming to town)

Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Bread and circuses to masses
Lust turning to disgust

In this circus of doom
Marionettes are dancing
Circus of doom
Time passes and fades away
Circus of doom
Shadows keep on laughing
Whiplash and scream
One more broken dream
In silence they fall
Tears of a clown (Of a clown, tears of a clown)

Acrobats are hanging
High in the air
Forever, never landing
Smiles upon despair
(Ah, the circus is coming to town)

Trying to reach the dreams
Of some distant past
In this circus of extremes
Where nothing can last
(Ah, the circus is in the town)

Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Bread and circuses to masses
Lust turning to disgust

In this circus of doom
Marionettes are dancing
Circus of doom
Time passes and fades away
Circus of doom
Shadows keep on laughing
Whiplash and scream
One more broken dream
In silence they fall
Tears of a clown

What will remain
Of a life spent underground
An echo of pain
Fear that makes no sound
When the lights go down (When the lights go down)
When there's no one around (When there's no one around)
Wrapped in the absence of it all (Wrapped in the absence of it all)
Trapped in silence, they fall

The silence descends (The silence descends)
When the lights go down (When the lights go down)
Far from home and friends
Something hit the ground
Tears of a clown (My tears of a clown)
When there's no one around (When there's no one around)
The circus has left
The circus has left
The circus has left
Left the town

2. Wings of Light

I stand alone and wonder why
Why did we come down where
All hope is dead or dying?
Flames strike the ground like crimson rain
Prayers to an open sky
Won't drown out all the cries in vain
Till you will come again

Take me back to the memory
Play me song and the melody
Praying for you to cover me
With your wings of light
Make me one with my enemy
Raise me up to the heavens
I'm waiting for you to come
And take me on your wings of light, oh

Now as I gaze 'cross burning ground
How I lament the desolation that surrounds me
Bow to the king that bears my crown
Howl of the wind shall haunt
These halls that must confine me now
Hear my heart crying out

Take me back to the memory
Play me song and the melody
Praying for you to cover me
With your wings of light
Make me one with my enemy
Raise me up to the heavens
I'm waiting for you to come
And take me on your wings of light

Take me back to the memory
Play me song and the melody
Praying for you to cover me
With your wings of light
Make me one with my enemy
Raise me up to the heavens
I'm waiting for you to come
And take me on your wings of light, oh

With your wings of light

3. Master of Illusion

Oh yeah

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the greatest of them all?
I'm the master of illusion
Welcome to my mad delusion
I'm the one who makes the rules
For the heroes and the fools
I can tear down angels from the sky
And make Mona Lisa cry

Oh
You can hear the weeping violins
Long before the bitter end begins
Oh
You can see the strings and puppeteer
Before the dusk will make them disappear

The game is over (the game is over)
No more rounds to play, it's time to pay
Who's got the joker?
The game is over
Who's got the joker
To kill the lies and make your heart recall
There's no other sky to fall

Oh oh
Oh yeah

The dominoes of greed
Are falling for your endless needs
You're the master of illusion
Lost in your sad delusion
Every time you roll the dice
We're the ones who pay the price
While the oceans boil for your games
You just feed the flames

Oh
You can hear the weeping violins
Long before the bitter end begins
Oh
You can see the strings and puppeteer
Before the dusk will make them disappear

The game is over (the game is over)
No more rounds to play, it's time to pay
Who's got the joker?
The game is over
Who's got the joker
To kill the lies and make your heart recall
There's no other sky to fall

Oh and you will ask
"Which one am I? Am I dead or still alive?"
Reflections of the real fade
The stranger in the mirror remains
Can you hear the weeping violins
And cut the strings before the end begins?

The game is over (the game is over)
No more rounds to play, it's time to pay
Who's got the joker?
The game is over
Who's got the joker?
We are the ones, we hold the cards (we hold the cards)
There's no other sky to fall

4. Where Angels Fear to Fly

The birds are flying low
The same old song is going on and on
Way too many times
I've seen this same old twisted pantomime

They say the darkest hours are just before the dawn
That we must die to be reborn
I'm still alive, I'm ready for the pain
If I fall, I'll rise again

I spread my wings and like the midnight sun I will be rising
To the frozen heights, where stars are born and where they die
I'm lighting up horizons
With thunder and lightning
Through the darkest skies
Where even angels fear to fly

Where angels fear to fly

It felt like the end
They hit the ceiling and they fell and fell
The wind already blew
And the rays of light were shining through

They say the darkest hours are just before the dawn
That we must die to be reborn
I'm still alive, I'm ready for the pain
When I fall, I'll rise again

Through the glass ceiling, we will fly
The truth comes screaming loud and high (echoes of old lies will die)
This is where my dreams begin
I feel the power from within

I spread my wings and like the midnight sun I will be rising
To the frozen heights, where stars are born and where they die
I'm lighting up horizons
With thunder and lightning
Through the darkest skies
Where even angels fear to fly

Where angels fear to fly
Where angels fear to fly

5. Eye of the Storm

The dark clouds are gathering
Chaos entwined
Thunder and lightning
I need shelter tonight

The edge of what I can endure
Been there, riding through the storm, in the snow
Must go, flee before the fall
To the place, where I can feel the love
Through the cold

My heaven, the Eye of the Storm
The place I want to go
Serene and beautiful
My place to rest, my heart and soul
My heaven, the Eye of the Storm
Shrouded by the fog
Protected from the cold
Where its warm, where I'll endure

The light keeps on burning
As the storm rages on
It's time for hope and learning
A golden future unfolds

Enough, the past exists no more
The pain, the darkness in my soul, finally gone
Carry on, escape the masquerade
Get away, before it's just too late
Break the chains

My heaven, the Eye of the Storm
The place I want to go
Serene and beautiful
My place to rest, my heart and soul
My heaven, the Eye of the Storm
Shrouded by the fog
Protected from the cold
Where its warm, where I'll endure

My heaven, the Eye of the Storm
The place I want to go
Serene and beautiful
My place to rest, my heart and soul
My heaven, the Eye of the Storm
Shrouded by the fog
Protected from the cold
Where its warm, where I'll endure

My heaven, the Eye of the Storm
The place I want to go
Serene and beautiful
My place to rest, my heart and soul
My heaven, the Eye of the Storm
Shrouded by the fog
Protected from the cold
Where its warm, where I'll endure

6. Russian Roulette

In this game of Russian roulette

The room is filled with sin, would you let me in?
Tonight might be the night
As troubles disappear, the moon seems so near
Beneath electric starlight

Don't you miss your shadow?
Don't you miss the ground?
You're hiding from tomorrow
As the wheel spins, round and round
When your wings are burning
Who keeps you from falling?

You fly higher than your guardian angel
Into the fire dancing with danger
You place your bet with no regret
In this game of Russian roulette
(Russian roulette, yeah)
Russian roulette, yeah, yeah
(Russian roulette)

With nothing left to steal, nothing left to borrow
You're playing on devil's playground
Looking for the end of the rainbow
There's nothing to be found

Don't you miss your shadow?
Don't you miss the ground?
You're hiding from tomorrow
As the wheel spins, round and round
When your wings are burning
Who keeps you from falling?

You fly higher than your guardian angel
Into the fire dancing with danger
You place your bet with no regret
In this game of Russian roulette
(Russian roulette, yeah)
Russian roulette
(Russian roulette)

It's time to win and time to lose
Time to kill the truth and change the rules
(So keep the dice rolling)
(Until I wake up or die, die, die)

Come and play with me tonight
We are gamblers, you and I
(So keep the dice rolling)
(Until I wake up or die, die, die)

It's not an angel on your shoulder
Whispering in your ear
You hear the things you wanna hear
The wheel of darkness spins in the game
Where no one ever wins
Could this be how the end begins?

You fly higher than your guardian angel
Into the fire dancing with danger
You place your bet with no regret
In this game of Russian roulette, yeah, yeah
Russian roulette, yeah!

7. Freedom

Battles raging on and on and on
Through the flames and thunder we will stand our ground
Brothers standing side by side in line
Free of fear and pain and doubt, we stand tall

Freedom
Stay strong, it will be yours
Freedom
It's in your mind, embrace the call
Freedom
Your heart it will be pure
And you'll feel the urge for more
Metal for your soul

Kingdom
It will fall and soon be mine
I will break their will, their faith, their soul, their hearts
Creators of the mighty Raven Ark
Stand strong and keep your faith, they will fall

Freedom
Stay strong, it will be yours
Freedom
It's in your mind, embrace the call
Freedom
Your heart it will be pure
And you'll feel the urge for more
Blood and thunder calls

Freedom
Stay strong, it will be yours
Freedom
It's in your mind, embrace the call
Freedom
Your heart it will be pure
And you'll feel the urge for more
Blood and thunder calls

8. The Road to Avalon

The road to Avalon

We drive through the mud
Breaking the rules of gravity
We ain't brothers by blood
But the road makes us family
Whoa

Doesn't matter what we search for
Or what we might find
No matter who we were before
And what we leave behind

Yesterdays will fade away
And tomorrows are yet asleep
I tame the road and seize the day
My shadow is too slow for me

Through the years and through the storms
Wherever we will roam
Freedom is my uniform
And you are my home

Where the road meets the sky
And wild winds blow high
This is where I belong
I'm on the road to Avalon

I've got ink on my skin
And fire in my soul
I've got a beast within
And dreams beyond control

Yesterdays will fade away
And tomorrows are yet asleep
I tame the road and seize the day
My shadow is too slow for me

Through the years and through the storms
Wherever we will roam
Freedom is my uniform
And you are my home

Where the road meets the sky
And wild winds blow high
This is where I belong
I'm on the road to Avalon

The road to Avalon
Divine symphony of the streets
Echoes in my heart
So, I will travel on
This is where I belong
(Avalon)

Through the years and through the storms
Wherever we will roam
Freedom is my uniform
And you are my home

Where the road meets the sky
And wild winds blow high
This is where I belong
I'm on the road to Avalon
Avalon

9. Armageddon

Reach for the stars with the heart that you've torn apart
Patch it up and arise
You're the Goddess of the Light
Blazing high, satisfied, riding through the skies
This is your Armageddon

Yeah, yeah, yeah

A sacrifice
A reason for your endless pain
You're crucified
And nothing really matters
So powerful, it's over in a flash of light
You're craving for more

You've rattled up
Everything is so unclear
Obsessive patterns, the world keeps on spinning
Reality, the voices scream inside your head

I see the truth in your eyes, through the lies
Don't you hide it behind a disguise and a fake smile
You're mesmerised by the sights and the lights
In the darkest of night, despite your own destruction

Reach for the stars with the heart that you've torn apart
Patch it up and arise
You're the Goddess of the Light
Blazing high, satisfied, riding through the skies
This is your Armageddon

When years go by, you're standing in your castle high
All those dreams, feeling so surreal
You're so alone, with no one standing by your side
Welcome to the nightmare!

You beg for help, you scream, you shout, you're all alone
No one wants to be even near you
It's time to fall, deep down to the darkest void
Are you ready to die?

I see the truth in your eyes, through the lies
Don't you hide it behind a disguise and a fake smile
You're mesmerised by the sights and the lights
In the darkest of night, despite your own destruction

Reach for the stars with the heart that you've torn apart
Patch it up and arise
You're the Goddess of the Light
Blazing high, satisfied, riding through the skies
This is your Armageddon

I see the truth in your eyes, through the lies
Don't you hide it behind a disguise and a fake smile
You're mesmerised by the sights and the lights
In the darkest of night, despite your own destruction

Reach for the stars with the heart that you've torn apart
Patch it up and arise
You're the Goddess of the Light
Blazing high, satisfied, riding through the skies
This is your Armageddon

The truth in your eyes, through the lies
Don't you hide it behind a disguise and a fake smile
You're mesmerised by the sights and the lights
In the darkest of night, despite your own destruction

Reach for the stars with the heart that you've torn apart
Patch it up and arise
You're the Goddess of the Light
Blazing high, satisfied, riding through the skies
This is your Armageddon

10. Place That We Call Home

In the times full of struggle and strife
In the land where the fires burn colder
Time after time you are struck
And you're beaten down
These are times when you know
You're on your own
No-one to stand by your shoulder
Go, turn your back to the cold, face the raging storm
And carry on

Into the world that was lost so far beyond
Ride the four winds and set your mind free to roam
Where the heart's good as golden
Where your spirit can lie
To the place that we call home

Have you stood in the first morning light?
Have you walked on the shores of the holy?
Few are the ones gone to sail o'er the flaming seas
Where the moon lights the day, the sun lights the night
The shine of the stars guides your journey
Shake loose the shackles that bind, claim your destiny
Just to be free

Into the world that was lost so far beyond
Ride the four winds and set your mind free to roam
Where the heart's good as golden
Where your spirit will lie
To the place that we call home
To the place that we call home

Safe unto shelter
Away from the storm
Some day we'll lay our burdens on those virgin shores
Where our sins cast no shadow
And our mind is our own
To the place that we call home

Into the world that was lost so far beyond
Ride the four winds and set your mind free to roam
Where the heart's good as golden
Where your spirit will lie
To the place that we call home
To the place that we call home
