van canto - hero

(Ran-dan Hero!! Ran-dan Hero!!)

Cold sweat dreaming...
Am I awake?
I feel drained...
With fevered screaming
My thoughts they break
I am pained...

Lights are flickering down the wall
And my eyes they burn.
An angel's voice then starts to talk
Hypnotised my head I turn.

I have started many miles away
To find our hero and to finally lead him astray.

Oh, is it me they call hero?
Oh, is it me they await?
Oh, is it me they call hero?
Heroes are there to change fate.

Wheezing winds slit my ears,
It's hard to breath...
My eyes they water,
My eyelids hurt.
It's hard to see...

Try to figure out the way
I am flying...
What's this journey all about?
Again the angel heaves a sigh.

I started many miles away
To find the hero and to finally lead him astray.

Oh, is it me they call hero?
Oh, is it me they await?
Oh, is it me they call hero?
Heroes are there to change fate.

[Solo]

Yeah, it is me they call hero
Yeah, it is me they await
Yeah, it is me they call hero
Heroes are there to change fate.

Yeah, it is me they call hero
Yeah, it is me they await
Yeah, it is me they call hero
Heroes are there to change fate.

van canto - a storm to come

There's a land I'll take you to
A land where imagination rules

Take you way from here
Where angels feared a thread
Where wrong is right instead
Don't care what they say

A blaze start right ahead
We are floating away
What they don't have is what will get
A land of imagination...

Don't you remember us, remember us at all?
Remember us at all
Do you remember us, remember us at all?
Remember me at all

Winds of the world unite in grief
Black and heavy rain
Ordered to this very place in time
To sweep the withered leaves

A storm to come
The storm is near
Join in or hide in fear
Rakkatakka Rakkata

Mercy be with us and peace within,
Granted by the one who is and who was
And who eternally will be,
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen!

Winds of the world unite in grief
Black and heavy rain
Ordered to this very place in time
Sweep withered leaves

A storm to come
The storm is near
Join in or hide in fear

Lord!
Lord, grant us your unquestioning mercy
Lord, look upon us with your eternal grace
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil for thou art with me.
Thy rod and thy staff comfort me.

And it is written by the Prophet Jesaja:
Behold, I will send a messenger, John,
To prepare the way of the Lord.

We come from dust,
We return to dust.
John Gynt, rest in peace

In Nomine Patre et Filii
Et Spiritus Sancti, Amen.

Staring into this deep black pit
In his hand a pile of dust
Not understanding it
One loving look, the last

My father was a gambler
And we were his final bet
Once he put his cards on the table
Our destiny was met

Father where're you going now?
Why did you gamble our luck away?
No love for us, for me
Too easy to betray

Soon he will go his own way
Deal the cards of his own play
(John Gynt rest in peace!)
Father, thank you for Nothing!

Winds of the world unite in grief
Black and heavy rain
Ordered to this very place in time

A storm to come
The storm is near
Come along or run in fear

Please, mother what's going on?
They're supposed to be our friends
Why don't they help us?
Instead they kick us out

Justice rules from above
No money, no love
It is as simple as that
Just do not look back

Building a fortress around my heart
With friends of my own creation
Never will betrayal form part
In my demon nation

Everything I will endure
Suffer without lamentation
Humility will be my cure
I will not plead
I will not question

For my son
Just for him
From now on every year
Eternal winters long

Like a word
Like a breeze (Mother!)
Like a song (Mother!)

Winds of the world rejoice
Black and heavy rain
Ordered to this very place in time

A storm to come
The storm is near
Come along or run in fear

The elementary force
Ruthless, unafraid
We are the rulers of the world

A storm to come
The storm is near
Come along or run in fear

So I spread my wings out wide
Over mountain's ridge the storm I ride
Dragons, demons, faithful friends
Know them at my side

I make the world my subject
Ruthless, unafraid
And I play for my own sake
The very game which I create

I know you and your games
Yet I accept but rules to my aims

And so I spread my wings out wide
Over mountain's ridge the storm I ride
Dragons, demons, faithful friends
Know and trust them at my side

I subject the world to my rule
Ruthless and unafraid
And I play for my own sake
The very game which I create

I know you, I know your games
I accept but rules to my aims

This is how I make the world my claim.

van canto - bad to the bone

Fifty years ago with the world at war
Hands bloodied - devastated
Better believe they're back for more
Pounding the world with a fist of steel
Jack booted, heavy handed
Careless of the pain we feel

Bastards - throwing life away
Killers - alive today

Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
I see through your eyes
You're bad to the bone
Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
You can't hear the cries
'Cos you're bad to the bone

Times have changed but he don't know
Zoot suit, black tie
Careless that the lies are low
One for all and all for one
Talking smooth - hidden truth
Time bomb ticking just begun

Bastards - throwing life away
Killers - alive today

Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
I see through your eyes
You're bad to the bone
Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
You can't hear the cries
'Cos you're bad to the bone

Standing alone for the world to see
Non-starter - push harder
He still believes his time will come
Small wonder - old thunder
Can't he see that he's wrong

Bastards - throwing life away
Killers - alive today

Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
I see through your eyes
You're bad to the bone
Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
You can't hear the cries
'Cos you're bad to the bone

Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
I see through your eyes
You're bad to the bone
Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
You can't hear the cries
'Cos you're bad to the bone

Bad to the bone

van canto - battery

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay

Smashing through the boundries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the Battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery

Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity

Smashing through the boundries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the Battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery

Circle of Destruction, Hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, Dominating flurry
We create the Battery

Smashing through the boundries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the Battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery

van canto - bed of nails

I love the way you hurt me.
My tears your wine.
Your thoughts would draw my plan for a cruise in vain.
Like talons in the pale moon shine above us.
My gained pleasure in pain is slowly vanished when
You sink deeper and deeper into a void you are venomous love.

Yeah, we're gonna fight
We do it every night
Baby, when you scratch
You know I'm gonna bite
You can make me die
I can make you cry
Opposites attract
That's the reason why

No one else could make you feel
Like I do, I do, I do
No one ever gets as deep inside you
As I do, baby

Our love is a bed of nails
Love hurts good on a bed of nails
I'll lay you down and when all else fails
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails

First we're gonna kiss
Then we're gonna say
Dirty little words
Only lovers say
Rockin' through the night
Rollin' on the floor
When they hear us screamin'
They'll be breakin' down the door

No one else could make you feel
Like I do, I do, I do
No one ever gets as deep inside you
As I do, baby

Our love is a bed of nails
Love hurts good on a bed on nails
I'll lay you down and when all else fails
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails

Bed of nails, bed of nails
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow
Gonna drive you like a hammer
Baby, put me in your slammer, oh yeah

No one else could make you feel
Like I do, I do, I do
No one ever gets as deep inside you
As I do, baby

Our love is a bed of nails
Love hurts good on a bed of nails
I'll lay you down and when all else fails
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails

Bed of nails, get on my bed of nails
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow
Gonna drive you like a hammer
Baby, put me in your slammer, oh yeah
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails

van canto - betrayed

- Annelia -
Shades of gray they becloud my emotion.
Sad and weak I will stay here inside these walls.

Move on to new Horizons.
This ainâ??t enough for me.
I am the good kingâ??s daughter.
So I know there is more to see.

- Sismond -
Am I God, I donâ??t know but Iâ??m trying.
Who wonâ??t mislead them but show them the proper way.

Iâ??ll bring them new horizons
And seasons to my will.
We all can live forever
And my previsions are fulfilled.

She was born with royal blood.
And vengeance in her hands.
She was born to rule but destiny had other plans.
And then she was on the brink of death,
When something grew inside.
Whispering words of a new heart promised a better life.
Weâ??ve all been betrayed!

- Annelia -
So few moments of this fading happiness.
Not enough to lessen my suffering.

- Annelia & Sismond -
We fly to new horizons.
They will do as we tell.
We are higher creatures.
We can turn heaven into hell.

- Annelia -
I was born with royal blood, and vengeance in my hands.
I was born to rule but destiny had other plans.
And then I was on the brink of death,
When something grew inside.
Whispering words of a new heart promised a better life.

So my heart beats twice for sadness deep inside.
Darkness falls and comes to light.
Written fate then will open a gate
To find a better life.

- Annelia & Sismond -
I was born with royal blood, and vengeance in my hands.
I was born to rule but destiny had other plans.
And then I was on the brink of death,
When something grew inside.
Whispering words of a new heart promised a better life.
Weâ??ve all been betrayed!

I was on the brink of death,
When something grew inside.
Whispering words of a new heart promised a better life.
Weâ??ve all been betrayed!

Weâ??ve all been betrayed!
Weâ??ve all been betrayed!
Weâ??ve all been betrayed!
Weâ??ve all been betrayed!

van canto - black wings of hate

Standing at the abyss another pathâ??s ending down here.
Still I bear the storm inside blurring my eyes.
Banishing the farewell-cut, deep in my heart with the fear
Of another black cruel decision of life.

Now I feel the pain of the ripping wound that never heals.
Gimme water, I throw the needle away.
Do I have to pay this price that my old absess reveals?
Take the time to have a rethink bout my days

No!
You are afraid, it is too late.
There is no time to win your life.
And what remains flows in your veins.
Come closer yeah â?? I am the fight.

When the light is breaking through my disease
Dark ones are gaining their heir.
Turning winds are hearing your silent scream.
My love and lack of despair.

I have been the one who was drowning in this lake of tears.
Now I have the last time to borrow advice.
Starring at the crossroad of life-history of my fears.
Iâ??ll be on my way when the flame becomes ice.

When the light is breaking through my disease
Dark ones are gaining their heir.
Turning winds are hearing your silent scream.
My love and lack of despair.
And I will return from death and your emptiness.
Crowbars are crumbling the gate.
Cross the lines, another red shining vein
Clipping my black wings of hate.

van canto - dangers in my head

On my own
The ghost of a stone
Time is passing by
Still untrodden my land lies

"we got to move ahead"
This is what they said
What they always told
No secret left unfold

On and on, still no wind blows
No wind blows tonight
I move on. as I want to stay
Deep inside

Dangers in my head are rising
From a darker land. denying
What has been before. forever
Dangers rising high.

Clouds roll by
The black of night
Veils my certainty
Of what is left to see
It begins in delight
But it might end in wisdom
Clouds move aside
This storm will raise a kingdom
Agony
Inhaled by black tornados
There´s something left for me

On and on, still no wind blows
No wind blows tonight
I move on. as I want to stay
Deep inside

Dangers in my head are rising
From a darker land. denying
What has been before. forever
Dangers rising high.

Dangers in my head are rising high
Trying to amend the lies I´m in
Dangers in my head. forever
Dangers in my head are rising high

Dangers in my head are rising
From a darker land. denying
What has been before. forever
Dangers rising high. in my head

Dangers in my head are rising high
Trying to amend the lies I´m in
Dangers in my head. forever
Dangers in my head are rising high

van canto - frodo s dream

Standing on the top of the mighty hill
Fail voices are blowing with the wind
The light of the moon glistens in his hair
As he stands alone and abandoned by the night
He is caught, but meant to be free
He is strong, his power comes from within
And as shadows so big cover the moon with black
He raises his head and lifts his arms up to the sky
His wand creates a mighty lightning
An eagle appears to bear him away
The wolves they cry out frightening
And wind blows through his hair as he flies away
Into the night
Soon he disappears
And in the back the attack of the black riders start
The sound of black hooves echoes in his mind
But forever he will roam
Forever he'll be there to fly away
And no one ever stops him on his way
The strong ones they were born to survive, not to die
And I wake up awaiting my last cry

van canto - i am human

As soon as a new day arrives
I reorder my life
Walking on a million roads at a time
There is no end to see
Still I'm following me
Keen on where I get to finally be

What was done is done
I built my life upon
Every breath that I take
There will be no regret
As long as I won't forget
That one decision to make

I am human
Will be forever
Still I hope things change to better
I am human
Will be forever
I have come to be forevermore

Tell me I'm not doing right
That I'm diverging inside
Still I'm able to turn days into nights
The best decision of mine
Living to intensify
And to give it more than just one try

So what was done is done
I built my life upon
Every breath that I take
There will be no regret
As long as I won't forget
That one decision to make

I am human
Will be forever
Still I hope things change to better
I am human
Will be forever
I have come to be forevermore

I am human
Will be forever
Still I hope things change to better
Am I godlike?
A non-believer?
Am I strong and still get weaker?
Bring the light to deepest darkness
Coldest nights will end to start this
I am human
Will be forever
I have come to be forevermore

From a storm to come
To a deed undone
I'll always be under burning suns

I am human
Will be forever
Still I hope things change to better
Am I godlike?
A non-believer?
Am I strong and still get weaker?
Bring the light to deepest darkness
Coldest nights will end to start this
I am human
Will be forever
I have come to be forevermore

van canto - i stand alone

As I lay to rest
and my blood?s slowing down
I feel the heat fading
and I wipe the sweat from my brows.
It?s finally done.
I made my way home.

Struggling for minutes,
a million hours or so.
I ran seven miles and still
I have thousands to go.
Same story again:
I stand alone.

And for every question
an answer is found.
Thousands of voices are
screaming new questions out loud.
But I make a stand.
I?m not gonna drown.

Here I stand alone.
With an innermost freedom
like rivers coming home.
(Here) I stand alone.
Finding trust and forgiveness
in somenone I know.
And this goes to all of my friends:
I am with you and with me - until the end.

For every crossing
where two roads diverged.
I fell one false decision.
But still you find me on this earth.
No matter how far.
I made my way home.

Is it you who?s diverging?
The very next day
all the roads seem to vanish.
You?re still here, so I have to say.
Same story again:
You stand alone.

van canto - if i die in battle

Six winds blow as one.
They will turn the tide.
We are marching on,
Standing side by side
And weâ??ll carry on
Until all the fire is gone.
Blown away,
Away to lands beyond.
Winds blow as one.

They try to oppress us.
Steal the faith out of our lives.
Still they are the flame for dreadful fires.
They try to undermine us
Night by night.
Now they are unmasked. theyâ??re full of lies.

They never learned how to stand as one.
And how to abandon fear.
We will be their storm-wall closing in.

If I die in battle,
Find dark blood upon my steel.
If I die in battle,
Tell them I stood, and never kneeled.
If I die in battle,
My soul will be saved and gone.
I wonâ??t die in battle.
Iâ??ll fly north with six winds blowing as one.

They did not await us
And the kingdom we will raise.
Yes we are their nightmare deep within.
They underestimate us.
Our faith alive
For our freedom and our new life to begin.

They will never bring us down.
They never rule our life.
We will be a tempest rising high.

What might end weâ??ll start again.
We will never die.
We will be a thunderstorm of life.

van canto - king

The night is about to fall.
?Never surrender? - I still hear them call.
Images (are) passing by.
I must watch him waving a last goodbye.

It?s not that he?s gone away.
It?s the secure feeling he will not stay.
A wanderer leaving the land
he once had entered to rise again.

Thousands cry
until the blood runs low
they make the river flow
that he?ll sail on.
Are we that alone?

The king is leaving
off to a land unknown.
And though I?m wondering why,
the king has left
the spirit we now call our own.
He lit up our life!

1000 days passed by,
from the very moment he stepped into our lifes.
Words were not his deal.
What he brought to us is the power to feel.

The power to believe.
The power to walk on, the power to see.
To determine wrong from right.
The power to check out the step from dark to light.

Sometimes I?m even more afraid
of times beyond the gates of now.
Remembering his glory
pounds my will onto the ground.

Can you hear us cry?
Can you see our kingdom die?
No!

Now for me it?s plain to see
that everything I want to be.
Can be done by holding on
in hard and gruelling times.

We are rising high.
