1. The Legacy
Iron gated ancient ground
Bathed in silver moonlight
A fearless heart begins to pound
Blood ties reunite
Turn the key – Feel the fear
Unchain my unknown past
Screams and sighs – all I hear
Terror's here to last
Beware and take heed
The demon's unleashed
The evil's abou
t to break free
You broke the seal
You broke the chains
Buried below for eternity
Your legacy
A labyrinth of countless rooms
I'm the demon's prey
My mind's entombed in halls of doom
Colours turn to grey
Whispering walls – be aware
Lurking through the haze
Mark the doors – count the stairs
On through a living maze
Creatures hiding in the shadows
Silence's breaking by a scream
Darkness in the rooms of terror
Locked up in this evil dream
2. Mirror Of Fate
Break the black door – a secret room
Four candles burning bright
I face myself – a silver tomb
No escape from the magic light
Bound now by my own stare
And my soul will be the fare
Re-animate
The mirror of fate
Revelations of secret worlds
The demons of time
Breaking the line
A gateway from beyond
The mirror of fate
A sudden wind - the flames increase
Waiting for the magic words
Catching my breath when the storm has ceased
In this place of the absurd
Run away – never look back
A demon's call – out of the black
In a lair of sorcery
An open book enchanting me
Past and present merging
My fantasies are urging... me
3. Breaking Glass
Fear the dark and fear the nightfall
The future and the past
What will await me behind the silvered glass
The sky is black – the wind is hauling
The force will revive
Nightmares are filled with life
Lashing winds – raging storm
Thunder in the air
A pale moon in the blackest night
Fills me with despair
Breakin', breakin' glass
Spellbound by the call
From far beyond the mirror on the wall
Breakin', breakin' glass
Evil is unleashed
I am drawn into the kingdom of the beast
Drifting on a sea of horrors
Stars explode in the mist
Distant places where no time exists
I see myself in broken glass
Starring back at me
I'm gonna take a look into eternity
4. Black Hole
Through the fire – through the smoke
Where I am tossed and turned
Lords and kings – slaves and fools
See myself being burned
A quick deep breath of everything
To taste and to forget
My life is here – my death is there
And all I've ever said
Pain and punishment
A journey through hell
Lust and ecstasy
Are ringing the knell
Black Hole
Gives me pleasure and pain
Black Hole
Live is fading away
Black Hole
Solemn halls – I have passed
Only moments in time
Live and die – Rise and fall
Places where the flesh sublimes
Echoes spinning 'round my head
To terrorise my soul
Buried in the dust of time
An all devouring hole
Torn deep inside
This torrents of blood
Black hole
No way to stop
No way to stop
5. Eye Of The Storm
Hear the crowd
Demanding a hero
A gate swings open
Screams are filling the air
The smoke is waving
Wide open eyes
Behind the gateway of terror
Watch and stare
Lord of thunder
King of pain
Humbly whispered names
A pair of wild eyes
Shine in the dark
Seeking for glory and fame
In the hall of horror
Legends are born
Now it's time to make the score
In the deadly eye
The eye of the storm
Born of wrath
An angel of war
The titans are clashing
Brave at heart
Smashing and pounding
Shaking the ground
Who will stand
Who will be torn apart
6. Maze Of Dread
A thousand doors all around me
The hallway never ends
A million ways to change my fate
Trapped in a wonderland
Rays of light leading nowhere
Mirrors on the walls
An unknown fate's awaiting me
Tumbling worlds will fall
I hear nails scratching on stones
Fear the sound of breaking bones
Life and death will unite
In this deadly trap
Pain and fear in the night
Caught in a maze of dread
No time to choose – no time to wait
A force I can't escape
Destiny is marking my way
Visions are taking shape
Walls of fire at my back
The past is gonna burn
A fire-breath is on my track
Hell awaits my turn
Run from the fire
Feel sweat and tears
Demonic fire
Caught in a maze of fear
7. The Afterlife
Trapped down here in purgatory
Hypnotized by a force beyond believe
Blurring features - Scaring flesh
I'm all alone as the nightmare begins...
See my life now passing by, images so real
The sins I have committed, forever haunting me,
All along the road of torture, leave this world behind
Fear of the beyond is taking hold of my mind
The Afterlife
This is the Afterlife
A thousand voices call my name
They echo through the hall
Grasping hands – creaking floorboards
Into the void I'm gonna fall
No light at the end of the tunnel
No hope at the end of the road
Falling into fire
Burning in this hell
Take me back to reality
Someone break the spell
8. Green Hell
Step into another hell
In the mud is where you dwell
On through a swamp of rotten trees
With snapping beasts below your feet
A boiling brew – the poisoned air
Pleading answers – earning despair
Forgotten realms - Forgotten times
Locked in this horror by an evil spell
Trails of terror painted in blood
Your lost in a green hell
Green Hell
Slip into a pool of pain
Sweat and tears are mixed with rain
A pair of eyes blocking your way
Face to face – who will prevail
The mirror's waiting - another gate is near
Be on your way – show no fear
9. Back From Hell
Reborn
Feel the wind in my hair
Return
Free from despair
Free my mind – Breathe again
Feel the rain on my face
Taste the blood – Beat the pain
This is the end of the chase
I have seen the underworld
More than I could bare
Branded by the purgatory
In the devil's lair
Back from hell
In the end I'm free again
Back from hell
And the visions will remain
Back from hell
The past and the present
Merging in my memories
Forever
I'm cursed by the legacy
Here I am to carry on
Though I will never go back
To the trails of terror – the halls of horror
Hidden below in the black
