Hope 04:33
Verse 1 In search of brave new worlds We wander the endless Space. Someday, the one who beholds Will meet us face to face. We will unveil the mystery, Despite the ups and downs. We’re ready to defy the destiny, And to take our last chance. Chorus We’ll find the way through Chaos and Time That will lead us to a new home We don’t give up, we must be stronger For People to regain their hope. Verse 2 Choose the only Star And make it home for us Is the Path as hard As breaking away from the ice On the Crossroads of the Fate You’re standing, full of hopes, Don’t miss your turn again, Hold on and follow your Goals. Chorus We’ll find the way through Chaos and Time That will lead us to a new home We don’t give up, we must be stronger Chorus We’ll find the way through Chaos and Time That will lead us to a new home We don’t give up, we must be stronger For People to regain their hope. For People to regain their hope.

Frigate 05:09
Verse 1 The terrible ocean can tell many tales Of sailors the sea had no power to scare, Who fought with the storm and defeated the gale, Whose sad eyes were filled with the waves and the air. The seven winds repeat the cry: "Full speed ahead!" The seven winds will hear the cry: "Don’t turn back yet!" Chorus Onward, on, beyond the world's rim… The sky is blue, a fine wind is rising… Try to capture the Heart of the Storm. Find what hides behind the horizon. Into battle, frigate so bold! Shatter the foeman! Drive him away! The tale of your glory will never grow old! The song of the deeds you accomplished today! Verse 2 The names of our frigates, like birds they do sing… Just watch as the Thunderbird speeds on the wave. Glad thoughts of the fight, in our heads now they ring. O Captain, lead on, and your crew will be brave! The seven winds repeat the cry: "Full speed ahead!" The seven winds will hear the cry: "Don’t turn back yet!" Chorus Onward, on, beyond the world's rim… The sky is blue, a fine wind is rising… Try to capture the Heart of the Storm. Find what hides behind the horizon. Into battle, frigate so bold! Shatter the foeman! Drive him away! The tale of your glory will never grow old! The song of the deeds you accomplished today! Today rejoices the Lord of the Deep: A brand new frigate sails in his fleet. Her heroes a harvest of glory will reap. They’ve gone to the sea and they’ll never retreat. The seven winds will hear the cry: "Don’t turn back yet!" Chorus Onward, on, beyond the world's rim… The sky is blue, a fine wind is rising… Try to capture the Heart of the Storm. Find what hides behind the horizon. Into battle, frigate so bold! Shatter the foeman! Drive him away! The tale of your glory will never grow old! The song of the deeds you accomplished today! Accomplished today!

Time 04:28
Verse 1 The chains are broken, and there’s no way of going back. The doors are open, but there’s no answer in the dark. There are no borders: the world moves on, it cannot stay. Maybe, just maybe, Time’s going to show us a new way. Life and eternity quickly flash by. Nobody’s mastered the secrets of time. Chorus Time weaves and weaves its unbreakable thread, Weaving realities into its net. Past generations, the sunset and dawn, Shadows of years that will never return. Verse 2 Faces forgotten, the joy and sadness of the past. Memories vanished, a silhouette that fades so fast. No thoughts but one left, no thought but waiting for the end. Maybe, just maybe, Time knows what the Creator meant. Life and eternity quickly flash by. Nobody’s mastered the secrets of time. Life and eternity quickly flash by. Nobody’s mastered the secrets of time. Chorus Time’s just a step on a crazy old road. Hundreds of milestones show where we can go. Thousands of parallel eras and days. The hands on the clockface will point us the ways.

Asgard 04:39
Verse 1: Where the sunset meets the sunrise, In the longships’ distant haven, Fallen warriors are carousing In Valhalla! On the other side of Bifrost Odin’s shining city stands, “Asgard” was its name in ancient Northern lands! The home of the gods! The place we all crave, Where Aesir and Valkyries welcome the brave! One fate for them all: they wait for the war Foretold in the verses of the Völuspá. Chorus: Noble high Asgard, receive us at last, May we be worthy when life here is past. Grant us the wisdom of Odin, to fight In earth’s last battle against fire and ice... Verse 2: When the Fimbul Winter rises, Death and dark will be unlocked. Wolf and Serpent rise ferocious: Ragnarök! Norns and seers have foreseen it: Surt will rise, and Midgard burn. But at last a new creation Will return! The home of the gods! The place we all crave, Where Aesir and Valkyries welcome the brave! One fate for them all: they wait for the war Foretold in the verses of the Völuspá. Chorus: Noble high Asgard, receive us at last, May we be worthy when life here is past. Grant us the wisdom of Odin, to fight In earth’s last battle against fire and ice...

Verse 1: A sage decided he wanted to trap an ifrit To be his slave - that was his dangerous plan. He yearned so strongly he could no longer sleep. Oh that was a proud and overconfident man. All night the candle glows. The sage was dumb with fright. The lord of lies arose. His eyes were burning bright. Chorus: Now make a wish! A wish! A wish! Just say what you want and all will be done. My magic can make you mighty and rich, But you must pay with your flesh and blood. Verse 2: A fool imagined that he could catch and enslave The awful ifrit, the cunningest spirit there is. If he’d been wiser, he wouldn't have been so brave. The only soul that was caught and enslaved was his. All night the candle glows. The shadow patterns roll. The lord of lies arose To take your cursed soul. Chorus: Now make a wish! A wish! A wish! Just say what you want and all will be done. My magic can make you mighty and rich, But you must pay with your flesh and blood. All night the candle glows. The shadow patterns roll. The lord of lies arose To take your cursed soul. Chorus: Now make a wish! A wish! A wish! Just say what you want and all will be done. My magic can make you mighty and rich, But you must pay with your flesh and blood. Blood!

Dante 05:41
Verse 1: All through this life you walked on the edges. Long was your path where emptiness stretches. Flame and the cold and torment eternal, Paradise one side, the other Inferno. Lonely, forgotten, you wandered and wandered, Hearing the cries of all the abandoned, Sailing the river of night and forgetting, Pain and illusion never relenting. Chorus: This path is thine. Through circles nine, Through ice and fire You must still climb up higher. All hope is lost, the border crossed. You must endure the heat and frost. The road to hell goes through the dark, And there is no way to go back. Verse 2: Once you are there, there is no returning. Only one guide all through the Inferno. Only the sunset’s beams there to tread on On the hard journey up towards heaven. Fire in the gloom, your heart is a lantern bright. Faith helps you find the key to the world of light, Water to cleanse your soul of its sins and scars, And then at last you’ll look up and see the stars. Chorus: This path is thine. Through circles nine, Through ice and fire You must still climb up higher. All hope is lost, the border crossed. You must endure the heat and frost. The road to hell goes through the dark, And there is no way to go back. No way to go back…

The Mirror 04:14
Verse 1: The windows let in the pale light of the moon, All secrets revealed by night’s power. And time falls asleep, you can feel it slow down, The doors swing open to the world in the mirror. Chorus: You hear it call, you cannot hide, It beckons you beyond the veil. Your Doppelganger meets your eye. You cross the threshold of the real. Only one step... Into the void... The silver trap you can’t avoid. Verse 2: The world is asleep with a white shroud to cover it, Deception’s magic spell will never pass now: Now your reflection is free—see it hovering, And look at your hand: it’s inside the glass now... Chorus: You hear it call, you cannot hide, It beckons you beyond the veil. Your Doppelganger meets your eye. You cross the threshold of the real. Only one step... Into the void... The silver trap you can’t avoid. (Reflection): You’ve found your destiny in space. I have awaited you so long. And now I’m free to take your place. The glass was shattered by my song.

Verse1: Down goes the sun: Racing to earth, see it run, Leaving its track— Blazing, fading to black. Bridge: In the sky it glows. Takes the mind away. In its final throes: Night succeeds to day. Heart of the dawn: It will yet be reborn, Just for a day, Then will die away. Chorus: Where the sunset is born, where the morning will rise, We will learn from the skies. How it burns The scarlet flame of the dawn. Flame of the dawn! Verse2: Vermilion shine! But it is doomed to decline When the gold of its birth Meets the shadow of Earth. Bridge: In the sky it glows. Takes the mind away. In its final throes: Night succeeds to day. Heart of the dawn: It will yet be reborn, Just for a day, Then will die away. Chorus: Where the sunset is born, where the morning will rise, We will learn from the skies. How it burns The scarlet flame of the dawn. Where the sunset is born, where the morning will rise, We will learn from the skies. How it burns The scarlet flame of the dawn. Flame of the dawn!

Verse 1: My path’s burned across the wreckage of the world... On the air is silence: nothing can be heard. All the colors vanish, and the sun expires, Only fairy-tales remain of all its fire. But up above, high in the sky, the old Milky Way spreads its pattern again, Scattering pearls mixed with tears at the feet of the lost. We have a different road we must travel: one we must tread, never turning aside. Burning we rush to the edge of the gulf, never counting the cost. Chorus: Staring at the sky, I seek a trace I never find. And through the night My heart can never be at peace: I’m homesick and I miss the light... Verse 2: On the question of the meaning of our lives: In this crazy world of toss or you’ll be tossed, No answer from the stars, in the clouds they hide, I am left to mourn the people we have lost. Staring at the sky, I seek a trace I never find. And through the night My heart can never be at peace: I’m homesick and I miss the light... Staring at the sky, I seek a trace I never find. And through the night My heart can never be at peace: I’m homesick and I miss the light...
