Очень весёлый, жизнерадостный и добрый Power представляет нам группа Power Quest на этом альбоме. Настроение поднимается с первых же нот... Есть немного эпики, немного неоклассики.
Отдельного внимания заслуживают клавишные, которые занимают одно из лидирующих мест в музыке группы, создавая ну очень мелодичные и красивые фоны к песням. Также они участвуют и в сольных партиях.
Все песни очень понравились и запомнились, и если уж и выделять какие-то треки, то все 9 из 9: слабых и проходных песен на альбоме нет! Также на диске есть одна баллада "When I'm Gone", которая просто насквозь пробирает своей душевностью и легкой грустью.
Ну а если говорить о прогрессе группы, то он налицо! Достаточно только сравнить 2 альбома - этот и предыдущий, дебютный. |

We will be each other's saviour as we're tearing down the walls
So many battlefields, we've seen so many di
Carry me by starlight flying high above the sky
Neverworld, beyond the blue horizo
Neverworld, is where we long to b
Across the mountains and before the setting su
Neverworld,
Shadows fall, united true believer
Where the prophecy did lead us, we have reached the hallowed lan
Heart of steel, it will not rest foreve
We are all in this together as we wait the true command.
2. Temple of Fire
[WORDS - WILLIAMS, WALKER / MUSIC - WILLIAMS]
Seeing is believing so believe in what you see
feel the flame of desire burning deep in the fire
Can this be illusion or deluded fantasy ?
Can you see what is true, for me and for you ?
The people gathered all around us
Their voices raised aloud in honour
The spell forever will be broken
See a vision of the past
Day of Old - so the story goes
Travel far - everybody knows
Pilgrim come see your hearts desire
Before the Temple of Fire
I am not hero just an ordinary man
With the will to survive to be free and alive
Come and stand beside us, see the wonder of it all
In the light of the sun, in the shade of the moon
Can you find the answers in the visions that you see ?
Can you still remember what went wrong ?
Stand before the altar in the temple you have dreamt of for so long.
3. Edge of Time
[WORDS & MUSIC - WILLIAMS]
I told you once, told you a thousand times
It's not easy living this way
We chose a path, said it's the only one
The only path that will lead us away
(Find a way) you're not the only one
(Living a life) on a wing and prayer
(Turn around) face another day
You and I have nothing to lose
Stone cold, waiting for night to fall
Waiting for answers we need
Where will it end ? Heavenly requiem,
Can it be that only true hearts will bleed ?
Send a sign, we're standing on the edge of time
Heart divine, a future that once was mine
I can hardly recognize what's right before my eyes
Time dissolves into well below
Time dissolves into the well below
Light has gone, burning oblivion
Unholy silence invading my mind
What does this mean ? Where do we go from here ?
You and I will have to follow the blind.
4. Sacred Land
[WORDS & MUSIC - WILLIAMS]
Memories of childhood, a place so far away
Growing up together, it was where I thought we'd stay
Then one day soldiers came, told us of the wars
They told us we should join them and defend the holy cause
Adventures that would lead far across the land and sea
Sounded so amazing to an innocent like me
Made it seem so easy like nothing could go wrong
We thought we'd be away some time but never for so long
Joined together wrote our names upon the page
Seven times alliance our loyalty we gave
Sworn to be united not divided for the King
Who will ever know the honour that it brings ?
So farewell to the Sacred Land that we call forever home
Time will tell if we understand that we never walk alone
Side by side to the east we ride with our purpose clear and true
On we go, won't you join us too ?
Had no way of knowing if we ever would return
Would we see our loved ones or see more cities burn ?
Holy land will fall if we don't stand our ground
Jerusalem for evermore in darkness be adorned.
5. When I'm Gone
[WORDS & MUSIC - WILLIAMS]
I search the ruins of the world I call my own
In hopeless desperation now I make the journey home
I find that everything is not the way it was
You cannot fight the future; no you can't turn back the clock
The rain upon the mountains
The eagle in the sky
And the wolf and raven prowling all around
A broken cross will mark the holy ground
And when I'm gone, the world carries on
And you must carry on too
When I'm not around, time won't stand still
Your memories will always be true
You've got hold onto the dreams we once shared
Always be together even when I am not there
I'll be beside you every step of every day
Though you cannot see me, feel my presence on the way
6. For Evermore
[WORDS - WILLIAMS, NOLAN / MUSIC - WILLIAMS]
Time after time still not over
There is no ending in sight
Day after day the same old feelings
Surely all this isn't right
There will be sadness in these eyes forever
Lift my head towards the sky
And I know that this will happen more and more
As I watch the spirits drifting through the door of life
I can see angels in the sky
I can see demons down below
I can see everything that you will ever know
If I should live for evermore
And never see another dawn
You will see everything that I have seen before
Living my life am I really alive ?
No one should stay here long
How can it be will you tell me why ?
Talking the right from the wrong
I only hope the day will come
The day when I can close my eyes forever
A life oblivious to time
It feels like waiting for the end of never
Falling from grace the crosses I bear now
Carry them on to the end
Nowhere to turn not a soul even cares now
Only the memory of friends
You will see everything that I ... have seen ... before.
7. Well Of Souls
[WORDS - WILLIAMS / MUSIC - WILLIAMS, SCOTT]
Million voices call to me,
there's nowhere left to run
Souls cry out in torment,
pain and anguish has begun
Trapped for all eternity
no hope of breaking free
Calling out for vengeance,
now they're calling out to me
Will this be our true salvation ?
Can there be a brighter day ?
Will there be a new horizon ?
Will this be the price we pay ?
Chaos and damnation
For the victims of the well
Mortal life of agony,
immortal life of hell
A spell that can't be broken,
see the writing on the wall
Souls in black are silent;
wait to hear the judgement call
Deep inside the well of souls
where time is lost forever
Can you hear me call your name ?
Deep inside the well of souls a
thousand hearts are gathered
There must be someone to blame
8. Into The Light
[WORDS - WILLIAMS / MUSIC - SCOTT]
There was a time and place we would always go
We will meet there once again
Darkness had descended all around our home
Now we begin the journey there
Walk in the path of our fathers before
Wisdom and guidance will carry us through
Walk with the prophet who always did say
Spirits will lead us the rest of the way
Out of the darkness and into the light
Heaven beside us on this sacred night
Out of nightmare and into the dream
Returning together
The light always shines over me
Living isn't easy when you're far away from home
Seven years since we were there before
Many things have happened since we set eyes on you
Citadel in fallout from the war
City home is free again just like it was before
What will happen when we are gone ?
We hear the echoes of the time when we were young ?
Will we see darkness once again ?
9. Lost Without You
[WORDS & MUSIC - WILLIAMS]
It was a cold December morning
Round about midnight
Hear a distant church bell ring
Doesn't really mean a thing
Suddenly I catch your eye
And much to my surprise
You are looking back at me
I wonder just what you can see
Tonight is when you go away
I hope I'll see you soon someday
Candle flickers in the corner of my mind
It has been so many years
Filled with laughter, filled with tears
I just hope the memories linger on...
Can't you see I feel I'm fading away ?
And I don't know if I can face another day
Hearing voices at the back of my head
If this goes on I'm surely gonna end up dead
This was never how I thought it would be
How was I to know you would have this effect on me ?
Like a stranger in a far-away place
Day to day, hoping that it's not too late
Oh, can't you see, you're all I need
So I walk this road without you
Now that you have gone away
Heading for the future not the past
Spend my time without you
Live my own life everyday
How long is the heartache gonna last... oh
Now you're gone and only memories remain
Remind me of you and help to ease this tragic pain
That I'm feeling like I'm caught in a mire
Nowhere to turn, no one to quench the burning fire
I thought I heard you softly calling my name
Can't be true 'cause things will never be the same
Tried to reach you but there's no one at home
Feeling lonely even though I'm not on my own
Can't believe how quickly time has gone by
Days and weeks and months in the blink of an eye
Wish I knew how the story will end
There is one thing - I hope we can still be friends
10. Find The Way To The Top
[WORDS & MUSIC - Martongelli, Garavello]
I am walking in the street
And I'm shouting at this world of confusion
There is no way for me to turn back
??????
Silence in the air seems to be an illusion
I only want to satisfy my soul
They tell me I am wrong but I don't mind their lies
And only with my pride I'll never die
Now I look for more
I look for more
And I wanna have some more so I will fly
I'm gonna find the way to the top
And fly to reach for the Land of the Sun
Where the fire burns and never, never stops
I?? gonna find the way to the top
You know I'll try 'cause I can't get enough
Want live, won't die, want run away, won't stop
I'm gonna find the way to the top
And fly to reach for the Land of the Sun
Where the fire burns and never, never stops
I?? gonna find the way to the top
You know I'll try 'cause I can't get enough
Want live, won't die, want run away, won't stop.
11. When I'm Gone
[lead vocal Sabine Edelsbacher]
[WORDS & MUSIC - WILLIAMS]
I search the ruins of the world I call my own
In hopeless desperation now I make the journey home
I find that everything is not the way it was
You cannot fight the future; no you can't turn back the clock
The rain upon the mountains
The eagle in the sky
And the wolf and raven prowling all around
A broken cross will mark the holy ground
And when I'm gone, the world carries on
And you must carry on too
When I'm not around, time won't stand still
Your memories will always be true
You've got hold onto the dreams we once shared
Always be together even when I am not there
I'll be beside you every step of every day
Though you cannot see me, feel my presence on the way
