STARBLIND LYRICS

1. The Everlasting Dream Of Flight

Made in his image, the gift of flight was all denied
Gazing at the birds our man was filled with god-like pride
To bask in his glory is but given to few
But accept it, it didn't go through
On the verge to achieving his dreams
A new world above the clouds

And the visions in his mind
Will lead the way

Touch the sun, reach for the sky
Fly high above the clouds
Spread your wings from dusk into dawn
Soar to another world

Determined as he builds another new machine
No food, no sleep as the days turn into weeks
Pride consumes him, he's losing his mind
Denying the truth, that man cannot fly
To accept it, he would rather die
Than living a life on the ground

Will the image in his mind
Be realised

Touch the sun, reach for the sky
Fly high above the clouds
Spread your wings from dusk into dawn
Soar to another world

Watch as the human bird takes flight
Then falls to his grave
Now released from flesh and bone
He can

Touch the sun, reach for the sky
Fly high above the clouds
Spread your wings from dusk into dawn
Soar to another world

2. The Shadow Out Of Time

Eight years of torn illusions
A dream from distant lands
Is this a vision from my past
Another time another place
The days they pass before me
My mind will soon reveal
Is this a quest for wisdom
That we all shall fear

I saw their ancient cities
Even though I wasn't there
Reflections from the archives
Now buried in the sand
I hope one day they all could
See who I really am
That I haven't lost my mind
I'm a traveller in time

Transcending life

The shadow out of time
Out of time
The shadow out of time
Out of time
Out of time
The shadow out of time

I saw their ancient cities
Even though I wasn't there
Reflections from the archives
Now buried in the sand
Out on my final journey
The answers lie below
The book revealed the secrets
But my truth will never be heard

Transcending life

The shadow out of time
Out of time
The shadow out of time
Out of time
Out of time
The shadow out of time

Transcending life
Transcending life
Transcending life

The shadow out of time
Out of time
The shadow out of time
Out of time
Out of time
The shadow out of time
Out of time

3. Pride And Glory

You sailed across the ocean to reach those distant lands
Where no one's ever been before
You scaled the tallest mountains to raise the flag of your beliefs
Solitude was your reward

So long you yearn for fame and fortune
One hundred thousand miles to go
How will you ... silence
Will you surrender ...

Another space, another time
Another prize to leave behind
For the pride and the glory
Set the goals and risk your life
As you're reaching for the sky
Who needs the pride and the glory

The fire's burning in your heart
In just a moment you'll depart
Leaving everything behind
Who'll be the fool to follow
Who calls it bravery
Talking big and doing small

So long you've yearned for fame and fortune
One hundred thousand miles to go

Another space, another time
Another prize to leave behind
For the pride and the glory
Set the goals and risk your life
As you're reaching for the sky
Who needs the pride and the glory

'Cause you cannot fight the silence
When all is said and done
No one remembers who you are

One harsh awakening
You'll have to face another quest
Put your life back on the line
It's what's keeping you alive

Another space, another time
Another prize to leave behind
For the pride and the glory
Set the goals and risk your life
As you're reaching for the sky
Who needs the pride and the glory

Another space, another time
For the pride and the glory
For the pride and the glory

4. Eternally Bound

My friend you were the light of my childhood
Through fear you held my hand

But then one day your life was no more
As you were taken from me

As days go on the pain and suffering grows stronger
As time passes by

When silence falls and I'm all alone
I remember with tears in my eyes

We laughed and we cried, we stood side by side
We danced and we sang in the rain
Your smile may be gone, but the memory remains
And someday I will see you again

The hopes and dreams we shared on our journey
Are now gone with the wind

Your time ran out before I could tell you
How much you mean to me

I will go on and live as you taught me
With fire in my heart

Wait and see, I will be the hero
You always were for me

We laughed and we cried, we stood side by side
We danced and we sang in the rain
Your smile may be gone, but the memory remains
And someday I will see you again
I will honor your name for the rest of my days
Then we'll be eternally bound

We laughed and we cried, we stood side by side
We danced and we sang in the rain
Your smile may be gone, but the memory remains
And someday I will see you again
I will honor your name for the rest of my days
Then we'll be eternally bound

Your smile may be gone, but the memory remains
And someday I will see you again

5. Tears Of A Soldier

When the skies are turning red I know that I'm alive
When battle's imminent I know what lies ahead
When the bell strikes I see terror in their eyes
It is a thrilling feeling that I can't describe

Oh mighty roar, fill the air and shake the ground
Pray the gods are on my side

The time will come and the wars I fought with bravery
Will clear the path and lead me to my destiny

Wisdom came to me as I lay dying on the field
Among the wayward spirits of a thousand men
Will I forever haunt the place of my demise
Voices are calling me to join them in the light

Oh mighty lord, will you greet me when I come
Open up the gates and let me in

The time will come and the wars I fought with bravery
Will clear the path and lead me to my destiny

All my life I have been a soldier
I followed orders, my heart grew colder
I fought for glory but now I realize
I could have been someone else entirely
Make people happy instead of sorry
Life is short and we only get one chance

The time will come and the wars I fought with bravery
Will clear the path and lead me to my destiny
One day my allegiance will bring me to my victory
Curse my soul, let me pay for my sins

6. Never Seen Again

Brave men set out to sea in the year 1845
Sent by their king's demand to explore the arctic ice

Course set to north by north deep into the far unknown
Sailing to what became their last voyage on the seas

No one knew they would never return
No one knew they would never come home
And they sailed tall and proud
With strong winds under blue skies
But they would never come home

Cold air runs through the sails
The sea flowing blue in the sun
Proud to be part of this plan
To map uncharted lands

Little did they know they would not return
Brewing in the distance a force of nature
When the storm was over their ship was bogged down
In the land of ice and snow

And they know they would never return
And they know they would never come home
All attempts to break free from the ice were all in vain
And they were never seen again

And they know they would never return
And they know they would never come home
And they sawed down their mast to heat the frozen crew
But they would never come home

And they know they would never return
And they know they would never come home
As their blood turned to ice
As they froze to their deaths
They knew they would never come home

7. Avarice (The Fourth Circle)

Greed corrupts and destroys
It burns down our homes and takes our lives
You, you want it all
You want it fast and you want it now
Alas, no price is too high
To get what you crave, you signed with your life
Fool, it can't be undone
The contract is sealed and so is your fate

Run, run for your life and your soul
The reaper will find where you are
You can't hide
When deals are made in blood
The devil will show who you are
Run for your life

Run, run for your life and your soul
The reaper will find where you are
You can't hide
When deals are made in blood
The devil will show who you are
Run for your life

Soon you will realize
The blessing received was truly a curse
Death will not be the end
There is no escape from what you have done
Hell is where you will stay
Eternally damned and fighting for gold
See and understand
This is the price you have to pay

Run, run for your life and your soul
The reaper will find where you are
You can't hide
When deals are made in blood
The devil will show who you are
Run for your life

Now canst thou, Son, behold the transient farce
Of goods that are committed unto fortune
For which the human race each other buffet

For all the gold that is beneath the moon
Or ever has been, of these weary souls
Could never make a single one repose

8. Demon Rider

Walking along a dark lonesome road
With only the moonlight to guide him
The peaceful sound of silence echoes in his head

When suddenly a roaring he hears
He turns around in fright
Like two glowing eyes in the dark it appears before him

The demon rider
Descendant from hell

In the city streets at night
Steam is rising from the sewers
The sound of screaming tires break the silent air

Her heart's pounding faster now
There's nowhere left to run
Frozen in the headlights, death is coming soon

The demon rider
Descendant from hell

A life was ended here tonight
When metal met bone on the sidewalk
It will not end; he'll kill again, one more for the road

The demon rider
Descendant from hell

He rides again and again and again

9. Insanity And Genius

The answer appeared for your eyes
All of those signs came alive
Enlightenment will lead you away
Divine inceptions
What if the truth lies ahead
Are you the one to create
Sadness and tears in their eyes
For all eternity

Some say there's a line
Between space and time
Can you see the writings
Deep in their minds

Insanity and genius
Eternity and fate
The blind will follow paths that you create
Insanity and genius
For lust and devious play
Who's the fool when nothing else makes sense

The masses await your command
Whatever they hear they'll obey
The flames keep on burning
They fall to their knees
It's all they know
With your powers you can create
A world full of empty shells
They're too weak to make a stand
They'll be gone and forgotten

Some say there's a line
Between space and time
Can you see the writings
Deep in their minds

Insanity and genius
Eternity and fate
The blind will follow paths that you create
Insanity and genius
For lust and devious play
Who's the fool when nothing else makes sense

Insanity and genius
Eternity and fate
The blind will follow paths that you create
Insanity and genius
For lust and devious play
Who's the fool when nothing else makes sense

10. The Last Stand

A storm is coming, a march of the dead
Beyond the rivers, the forests ahead
Their war cry echo in the distance away
Risen from earth's open grave

We're few in numbers but strong in our hearts
We will defend what's ours standing tall
They're coming closer to conquer us all
But we will answer the call

Prepare for what to come with the battle drawing near
Rain is pouring down, the ground turns into mud
We sense the growing fear
We await the darkness, we will show them light
In our hearts we feel the fire
There's no turning back

We hear the battle cries, we are standing side by side
One thousand men with swords held high in position
Just waiting for the sign
The smell of fear, the vengeance in our eyes
When the charge begins we are saints, we fear no life

Read us a prayer, far from the beast below
The fallen one who do us wrong
Read us a prayer, make it so our voice be heard
By the holy father above

The raid starts and our men are falling to the ground
Striking first, they got the numbers
"No surrender, fight with all you've got!"
No cry for mercy will we give our foe
In the end our last man standing will prevail with glory in his hand

Read us a prayer, far from the beast below
The fallen one who do us wrong
Read us a prayer, make it so our voice be heard
By the holy father above
