| 1. Cliffhanger
[Music: B. Allman, C. Ingles, G. Wehrkamp Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: M. Baker, C.Cadden-James]
I remember there were
Fights and screaming in the streets that night
I had to run from the
Insinuations all about my life
It didn't matter I was
Armed and ready I was on the run |

Up in the mountains I've got
Food and shelter I'm a loaded gun
Steal away into the hills
My world is turning
Secrecy becomes my mask
My cloak and dagger
I'm not so sure that I enjoy this journey
They've got their guns to my head
I turn myself into the black of darkness
They chase their shadows instead
That night my contact
Took me to the place where the preacher lived
He gave me serum
And he blessed my mission helped me get my grip
Back to the mountains for the
Codes and weapons and my boarder pass
10,000 foot the rocks are
Sheets of ice shards of broken glass
All alone I cannot rest
Hear them behind me
The hunt is on the chase is near
But I start sliding
I always thought this was a crystal palace
Could be my tomb instead
Three fingers cling to an icy cliff
Looks like some change ahead
2. Crystalline Dream
[Music: B. Allman, C. Cadden-James, C. Ingles Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: C.Cadden-James]
Hold onto these
Memories I grant you
The gifts of our lives
Lost in the sands of time
Deserts forever
Relentlessly barren
I crossed them all
In the blink of an eye
I command light and solar winds
To transport me
The deepest assurance
I speak with my mind
Caves of glass
Shatter before me
The wheels are in motion
Forever they turn
And are carved in the great book of life
There in your room
Alone in the shadows
I smashed down the walls
And set you free
I carry the torch
That trembles the mountains
Seen visions of power
Beyond all belief
You close your eyes
I reach out and touch you
Reflections in pools
The deepest of dreams
Rumors of war
Rage in your heart now
The wheels are in motion
Together we turn them
Come down with fire
I want to love you want to take you into my heart
We'll cruise the starways
And from the moment that we touch our love turns into a crystalline dream
Fly where your dreams go
With open eyes it's the dawn and you're alive
No time or space here
I walk in castles of gold
Our love turns into a crystalline dream
3. Don't Ever Cry, Just Remember
[Music: B. Allman, C. Ingles, G. Wehrkamp Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: C.Cadden-James]
I must have stood for hours
The mist of dawn still rising
Brushing from my face
Cold tears of finally knowing
The world that we had twisted
The years of strength and glory
Were wicked and obscene
And there we stood so proud
What legends we must be
Really something to behold Lord
So irresponsible
With the powers of creation
A princess crowned in jewels
Robed in the finest cloth
Dauntlessly invincible
So perfect so unreal
In one great moment judgements fallen
Babylon no longer there
Gone are her streets her giant towers
Disappeared into thin air
Don't ever cry just remember
It must have been my mood
I'm usually much stronger now
I know there's just one way
And this is how it has to be
There was poison in our thoughts
And there was hatred in our eyes
Suddenly something came
Something made it right
We purged our hearts and souls
And we saw through children's eyes
Not stifled by the pain
Not blinded by our
Human nature don't you see at all
The wisdom of our suffering
The lies behind our ways
The reasons for the end
From the moment I was raptured
Babylonia disappeared
I now return here a survivor
The rest have vanished to thin air
Don't ever cry just remember
The wind blows cold tonight
No lamplights from no windows
I am sure enough alone
And I am sure enough alive
So through eternity
The gift of light gets passed along
to those of us who saw
What the rest could never see
Born to a fallen world
Longing for a morning star
Held on high
For me
As this vision comes to close
The last footsteps ever wonder here
They echo in my mind
Never to return
All is done and slowly fading
Babylon she once stood there
I walked her streets I climbed her mountains
I disappear into thin air
Don't ever cry just remember
4. Warcry
[Music: B. Allman, C. Cadden-James, C. Ingles, G. Wehrkamp Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: C.Cadden-James]
Tonight I stood upon the crest and witnessed our decay
The land that was our fathers lay in ruins at our feet
And I dare not look out or into unseeing eyes
Of mankind's blind ambitions and desires
The wisdom of humanity is wasted on you all
You pushed us into corners of a tortured paradise
Your selfish pillaging is a treason to this earth
And in the end you are betrayed by your own deeds
Now every time I turn around it's just too late
To give back our mother earth a little dignity
I wish you'd set her free and give her love back to me
Cause our spirits are not weak like you
We're on our own
Pushed from our home
Our voices joining
Sacreligious and deceitful are your truces
Tattered paper poison letters bloody skies
I do my best to keep it all to myself
But now I fight for my name
5. Celtic Princess
6. Deeper Than Life
[Music: B. Allman, C. Cadden-James Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: C.Cadden-James]
On the run from
Suicide
Love breeches
Temptation
On the edge boy
What's inside
You better look
You better run and hide
Storms coming
A hurricane
Tear the roof from the
The foundation
Crystal ball smashed again
It's all there in the balance
Hanging
Wrong time to not regret your actions
These are dangerous roads that we travel tonight
I'm tuning into you your eyes are faintly glowing
Can't you see the truth my mind is deeper than life
It's a strange dream and I know you're in it
Clinging to a rainbow by your fingernails
I'm shining bright as a star my thoughts become electric
Cause my soul is alive
It's deeper than life
Than life
No time
For real life
You're heading
For deep trouble
Star tripping
Red line
All engines
At full throttle
Lost balance
On such a dream
Wasted love on your
Precious money
Look around
Time to scream
You hit the skids
At the speed of light now
Fill all of that emptiness with the blood I've shed
It's the spirit of life
Don't build your dreams on the treasures of man
They'll drag you away
It's a deadly lie
Sad song why don't they ever listen
It's the gift of love that helps to keep us alive
You miss the point again and it's your last horizon
Can't you see the truth my mind is deeper than life
I'm a strong man yes I can see the future
And it's good or bad and nowhere in between
You can't just spin the wheel you've got to ride on lightning
Cause your soul is alive
It's deeper than life
Than life
7. Alaska
[Music: B. Allman, C.Ingles, G. Wehrkamp Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: C.Cadden-James]
Remember I painted pictures of you
And I never found my way out
I spent a lifetime of dreams in the fields of your eyes
Lay me down when the rain covers you
And I'm afraid of the emptiness holding my thoughts
I see blue I see grey all the while
And when the night comes again I'll hold my hands to the skies
I've got a dream of home I've got a dream of home
And when the winter comes calling turn my face to the wind
I've got a dream of home I've got a dream
Of Alaska
Your name is whispered with the breath of my soul
In a hope that I'll never let fade
Between the mist on the waves and the blue of the sky
I threw a rose to the sea in your name
Now listen
Somewhere tonight there are tears on the wind
Are they yours are they mine I don't know
I'm crying out to the sky
I hope you're with me tonight
I've got a dream of home I've got a dream of home
And now the earth is left wanting
Turn my face to the wind
I've got a dream of home I've got a dream
Of Alaska
All through my life I stood tall as the sky
Hold to the things that I knew were so real
All I could feel
Strange how it goes how it comes to an end
Lord take your hand
Take you home once again
8. Ghostship
[Music: B. Allman,C. Cadden-James, R. Evans, C.Ingles, G. Wehrkamp Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: C.Cadden-James]
[THE GATHERING THE NIGHT BEFORE:]
Time has come
The dawn shall see us off again
Glory rides
The stars shall be our watching guide
We know
God is ready
And he's willing
To fill our veins it takes my mind away
Hot sun
Splitting thunder
Deafening
Violent storms
We sail atop the highest wave in search of our viking gold
And turn our backs into the night
We sail into the night
As the mighty desert wind blows through the mountains
Still she sails our trusty ship across the sea
And we raise our glasses high to this good life
See our torches brandish light upon the free
Cowards running to the hills no courage in their eyes
Shadowed terrors prey on them no mercy in their eyes
Their battle's over long before they have a chance to pray
But we shall stand steadfast our ground
Unmoved through the day
Let us drink to the spirit
That has given us the power
To rule with the mightiest of swords
Through all of the
Land
[VOYAGE:]
[DEAD CALM:]
[APPROACHING STORM:]
Our ship now listless drifting aimlessly through the tide
This calm before the storm screams over high
This must be madness cause the sky is growing blacker
Than the shadow of a dead star in regression of its power
If the darkness that surrounds you leaves you nowhere you can run to
I impolore you fall down to your knees
And pray these tentacles released their grip
[STORM:]
Well you and I do not belong here
Will we return
I cannot believe
Strong winds
Twisting and tearing our sails off
I'm hiding my eyes
You are fading away
[ENCHANTMENT:]
[LEGEND:]
Misfortune paints their lonely story
A thousand years shall endure
Unfold the tale of that dark day
Their mystics ship so far from sure
They sailed away
Into
Another sea
A mystery
To us all
Beware the waves
You sail upon
In ships so strong
It is our belief
This story's true
