CHRONOLOGY LYRICS

1. In Days Of Old

[Cserfalvi]

Here comes the legend of a mystical place
Hidden away from prying eyes
Faceless, nameless guardians keep
Their dark secret there.

You can never see it, you can never touch it
You can never understand it!
No evidence, there are only
Softly whispered words.

Hall of doom
Ancient gods
The Eye of Time.

2. The Eye Of Time

[Cserfalvi / Kiss]

[Father Godthart, the First Guardian:]
The time the ages – they’re waiting for me
Like a book like pages – and I will read them all
They’ll show the secrets I’ve never seen before
Hesitation and regret are all behind me now

Don’t want me to stay away
I’ve got the chance I have to try

Eye of Time - you are mine
Take me where I want to be
Eye of Time - you are mine
I’ve got the key
Eye of Time - you are mine
Show me what I want to see
Eye of Time - you are mine
You own my mind

My thoughts, my feelings they’re rushing all around
The work that I’ve done at last pays me the price
I found the only path that leads to new dimensions
Maybe there’s no way back, maybe it’s a one way ride

Don’t want me to stay away
I’ve got the chance I have to try

Eye of Time - you are mine
Take me where I want to be
Eye of Time - you are mine
I’ve got the key
Eye of Time - you are mine
Show me what I want to see
Eye of Time - you are mine
You own my mind

My thoughts, my feelings they’re rushing all around
The work that I’ve done at last pays me the price
I found the only path that leads to new dimensions
But there’s no way back, maybe its a one way ride

3. Warning

[Cserfalvi / Boros / Kiss]

[Father Aurelius:]
What did you think
When you turned against the nature?
You broke the rules, the law that the Gods created
How can you say
That your science is the savior?
You can’t bring back all the things that faded

Don’t forget the words.
„Everything is fixed and you can’t change it”

Why do you believe
In a false imagination?
You should know the time is not your servant
Don’t be so proud
Of your terrible creation!
It’s madness to believe that you can rule it

Don’t forget the words.
„Everything is fixed and you can’t change it”

You’re leaving all the world behind
For making real your dream
But I’m afraid you have to fall
I wish that I could hold you back
But you don’t hear my scream
Out there you’ll be alone
No one to call – to save you

What did you think
When you turned against the nature?
You broke the rules, the law that the Gods created
Don’t be so proud
Of your terrible creation!
It’s madness to believe that you can rule it

You’re leaving all the world behind
For making real your dream
But I’m afraid you have to fall
I wish that I could hold you back
But you don’t hear my scream
Out there you’ll be alone
No one to call – to save you

4. Forbidden Path

[Cserfalvi / Kiss]

[Son of Aurelius:]
I’ve heard too many lies
I don’t want to hear them anymore
All those family ties
Just hide from me the truth
Like a big, black wall

Cousin of son:
I tell you now
What I can recall
I saw him with dangerous men
Before he left us all
They stood around
Like holy chosen ones
I asked him who they were?
He said: „The Guardians”

It’s hard to understand
What happened to him at that time
Try to find a man
I think he was his friend
Maybe he’s alive

I tell you now
What I can recall
Find this man he knows much more
About your fathers fall
Don’t be afraid
His place is not so far
But are you sure you’re ready to know?
The truth is so bizarre

Those were so troubled times
He was twisted by hazy ideas
But I saw the fear in his eyes
And one day he went away

[Son of Aurelius:]
I know this road
I follow the trace
I’ll find this man I need to know
What was my father’s fate
I don’t turn back
And I’m not afraid
They say it’s a forbidden path
But I don’t care

5. The Coldest Day

[Cserfalvi]

[Instrumental]

6. 17. February 1773.

[Cserfalvi / Kiss]

[Son:]
Strange, that we meet again
I recognize your face
You brought me my father’s book
The memory from the old days
I want to understand
What he wrote to me
Sit in this chair, and drink some wine
It will help you to speak

Oh, trust in me
Oh, speak to me

That was the day in 1773.
That was the day the 17. of February

[The old friend:]
I try to recall the past
When he came to this town
I’ve never seen him before
But I felt that he was so down
It was so sad to see
As he stood there alone
I don’t know why he chose me
And I won’t know nevermore

Oh, nevermore
Oh, nevermore

That was the day in 1773.
That was the day the 17. of February

He gave those things to me
And when I asked him „Why?”
He said: „I’ve got a son
I had to leave him behind
Should I not come back
In the next few days
I want you to give these to him
On his 21st birthday”

Give me your word
Give me your word

7. The Scriptorium

[Boros / Kiss]

[Son:]
I’m so far from home
The search goes on and on
The old man told me how to get here
Finally I arrived on a stormy night
I had to lie about myself
But they believed me and took me in their lives
But there’s something they try to hide

There’s no time to waste
I must investigate
No one knows my father’s name
He has never been in this monastery
The monks turned away when I asked about
The Guardians of Eternity
I feel they lie to me

But a few days ago
I saw a secret room
I want to know

Why didn’t they let me inside
I wonder what they try to hide
Shadows int he candle-light
Please, help me to hide away
God, hear me pray

Dark night, pouring rain
Blood boils in my veins
I climbed the wall, I broke the window
And now I’m here in this hidden place
A scriptorium, it’s full of treasures
Hopefully I’ll find the missing trace

A book behind locked doors
It’s just like mine
That’s what I saw

These two books almost look the same
I became a thief so I must run away
I found a map int he stolen one
It will show the way
God hear me pray

8. Hidden Memories

[Cserfalvi]

There are questions you should never ask.

9. Legacy Of The Ancient Gods

[Cserfalvi / Kiss]

[Son:]
Pictures and strange unknown words
I wonder what they can say
A language that I’ve never heard
But I have to try to solve this mystery

No way I can make it alone
I need someone to help
My mind is cold like a stone
Strange calm that I’ve never felt
My old friend who taught me before
In my childhood years
Together we can open the door
Together we will find the key
Find the key, open the door

[The linguist:]
After two long, sleepless nights
The secret I still can’t unfold
There are so many never seen marks
Though I’m a linguist I can’t break the code

Only traces can I give to you
Only some little parts
Use them to find the truth
My mind slowly turns into dark
One piece means nothing at all
Try to collect them now
It’s a puzzle, make it whole
I’m so tired I can’t help you more
I’m so tired, I can’t help

[Son:]
Pictures and strange unknown words
Where do they try to lead me?
Strange concern between two worlds
I collate the pieces to unfold it

Maybe there is another way
But it’s so insane
The guards didn’t just keep the gate
They played a dangerous game
Maybe „Gate” stands for the „Eye”
And the word „Keepers” means „Guardians”
What if they could rule the time
And use it to travel there and back?
Find the key, open the door
But it’s all so weird… Can anyone tell is it real or just imagination?

10. The Way That Leads To Nowhere

[Cserfalvi / Kiss]

[Son:]
It’s the land of nowhere
Dark side of the Earth
Strange horizons
Endless desert

I walk on colourless fields
With lifeless stones around
Hopelessness in my heart
Dark thoughts in my mind

God, which way I have to choose
Pleas give me the answer
God, give me something I can use
Just send me a sign

I think of my home
My childhood dreams
Why did I leave them
Now I can’t explain

Though I still can’t find the way
And I may lose the game
But if I could start again
Then I would do the same

It’s the land of nowhere
Dark side of the Earth
But the dawn will show me
The end of the desert

I’m still on colourless fields
But now I can see the light
Hopelessness disappears
As I leave the night behind

11. Evil Eye

[Cserfalvi / Kiss]

[The archabbot:]
You’ve come to me
And I see it in your eyes
That you need some help
But you want to hear no more lies

So big pressure on you
What you’ve been through
No one else could ever do
And now I’m afraid
That you have to face
The darkness, the most evil place
Oh, you should beware
But you don’t care
About all my fears

No, I won’t hold you back
But watch your steps
It’s a long and dangerous path
And the end of this journey
Yes, it could be
The end of your life

I can’t imagine
What awaits you there
When you arrive
I know you’re strong
But you can’t be prepared
Fort he Evil Eye

You can find your dreams
Over the hills

A godless horde
In a satanic church
They keep that thing
They keep it from any search
Don’t ask me for more
I’ve said it before
I don’t know what they use it for

Some call it the Eye
They try to hide
Until the end of time
If you reach their gate
They won’t hesitate
They will take your life

I can’t imagine
What awaits you there
When you arrive
I know you’re strong
But you can’t be prepared
Fort he Evil Eye

I pray to God to bring you back here
Safe and sound
To keep your soul
When you’re on the devil’s ground

12. Benedictio

[Cserfalvi]

May the Lord go before you to show you the right path.
May the Lord beside you to embrace and protect you.
May the Lord be behind you to guard you from the treachery of evil men.
May the Lord be below you to catch you when you fall and free you from the net.
May the Lord be in you to console you when you are sad.
May the Lord be around you to defend you when others attack you.
May the Lord be above you to bless you.
May the good Lord bless you.

13. Father Godthart

[Boros / Kiss]

[Son:]
Well at last I see much clearer now
But I need someone to tell me how
to carry on my way
It’s the first scene and I’m here again
I’m looking for the librarian
To help me find my way

Here’s the book I give it back
But you must help to understand
what it’s all about
The Guardians, the Eye Of Time
The solution I still can’t find
There are so many doubts

[The librarian:]
I can’t see the truth
How could I help you
You’ll must move on
When the time has come

I’ve heard about an order
So far away from here
I’ve heard about their leader
This creature frightens me
His name is Father Godthart
I saw him once before
I felt in him there’s something evil
Something wrong

I don’t think you see much clearer now
I’m sorry I can’t tell you how
To carry on your way
I suggest you stay here for the night
Relax until the morning light
Don’t you run in vain

14. Neverending Dreams

[Cserfalvi]

[Instrumental]

15. Close To Me

[Boros / Cserfalvi / Kiss]

[The Eye of Time:]
Stay close to me
And you’ll see all my secrets
Wait patiently and when the right time comes

Open the door that will lead you to a place
You’ve never seen before
But you know how to name
Forget your fears, don’t be so paralyzed
Now everything’s so clear, just go ahead through me

I know what you feel, I know your reasons
You want to heal this dying universe

Don’t care about what the unbelievers say
They don’t understand it
They can’t follow your way
You see the world
Through so different eyes
They’re captured by the limits of their minds

Just chaos all around, you’re almost out of time
The noise is too loud
Oh, can you hear my words?

The end has begun
And you are the One
Men’s only hope
When there’s nowhere to run

The Gods are waiting
You cannot fight your fate
Use my power
Before it’s too late

16. Frozen Time

[Boros / Kiss]

[The Guardian:]
Time has come for me
To pay my dues
I’ve made a wrong decision
Now I can make it right

I know his name
Though we’ve never met before

[Son:]
My journey ends
The gate exists
I saw it for myself
But now I’m caught
In a deep black hole
God! Is there someone to help?

[The Guardian:]
Don’t be afraid
I am on your side
I have something
To tell you about the old days

Back in time…
Eighteen years ago…
Dark times…
Mourning and grief
The said he lost his mind
He broke the rules
And used the Gate
To bring your mother back to life

I wonder why
There was no trial
The council’s judgement was too fast
They had no doubt that he belonged
To the prison of unmoving past

So many things
I can’t explain
I can’t read in their minds
But I’m sure that he is not that kind
He’d never commit any crime

No one can imagine that place.
No windows to look out to the world.
The time doesn’t exist there.
Caught in a neverending moment,
you are buried alive forever.

I wish I could
Turn time back
I’d try to save him someway
I just stood there so helplessly
And watched as they took him away

17. Guardians Of Eternity

[Cserfalvi / Kiss]

[Son:]
Set me free I need to go
Where is he? You have to show
The mystery of whirling time
The meaning of his secret life

[The Guardian:]
First we have to get the key
That brings you back to reality
Without this you can’t return
Without this you have to turn back

The night is falling down
I think it’s time to leave

Somewhere in the timeless space
He’s suffering closed in a horrid place
Save him now from the eternal pain
I can’t wait to see him again

[Son:]
I left behind my prison cell
Midnight comes I hear the bell
Cold wind blows into my face
I stay in the shadow, I won’t leave a trace

This Guardian, my father’s friend
Is the only one who understands
That I believe in his innocence
And I will get the evidence

When night is falling down
The Hall of Doom waits for me

Somewhere in the timeless space
He’s suffering closed in a horrid place
I’ll free him from the eternal pain
I can make it and I’m not afraid

The Gate is waiting
For me to get in
The Gate is waiting
I’m gonna get in

This is now the moment of truth
I walk through the Gate
The Eye of Time opens before me
I reached the point of no return
That’s the way of fate
Where does it end? Nobody can foresee

[Aurelius:]
You have to know what really happened…

After a long, long research,
the First One found the way to
use the power of the Gate.
I tried to keep him away
but he went back in time…
He made a massive chaos and that’s
why your mother died.
I tried to save her and make everything right.
But I had to realize there was nothing I could do.
When I came back, his followers
were already waiting for me.
I couldn’t tell the truth anyone,
they brought me here and left me
to suffer ’till the end of time…

[Son:]
Follow me, I know the way
That leads us out of here
We can break the power of frozen time
I’ll be there to prove you’re right
You can count on me
Tell the council what the First had done

There’s nothing to fear of now
Though the evil First escaped somehow
Across the Gate he ran away
He realized that he have to pay

My father’s honor has been restored
The First One’s place was his reward
I stay with him as his right-hand man
It’s a dream come true I will be one of them

The sun is rising again
A new beginning has come

[Aurelius:]
I forget my mourning and grief
In God we trust, in the future I believe
I broke free of the frozen time
I’m not alone and I won’t be anymore
